ing scenes of frost, snow flying, and ice crystallizing in her mind.She shattered icicles and swept past snowflakes, yet she was powerless against the insidious erosion of the frost.Ice cones fall ran..."Ninefold Fire Phoenix Poison"

Gong Qi was stunned. This was the unique fire poison of the Fire Phoenix clan.

The toxicity varies depending on the Fire Phoenix's cultivation level.

The most toxic is the Nine-Layered Fire Phoenix Poison.

Gong Qi's heart sank. It seemed this time, her misfortune was truly orchestrated by her fourth sister

The male cultivator nodded slightly, as if he had acknowledged Gong Qi's words, yet also as if he hadn't said anything at all.

He turned and headed towards the Dihuang Palace.

Palace Seven only felt as if an invisible force was pushing him, and he walked with the male cultivator involuntarily.

She still wanted to ask some more questions, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.

When they reached the Dihuang Palace, Gong Shaojun had just returned from outside.

Before she could speak, the male cultivator had already spoken: “The person has been safely brought to you. As for Xiao Si’s matter, it needs to be investigated carefully.”

Gong Qi blinked, looked at her own mother, and then at the male cultivator in front of her.

Fourth grade

Could it be her fourth sister speaking

In the North, there are really not many people who would dare to call her "Fourth Sister".

And the tone of his words, it was like an order, yet with a hint of unspoken concession.

Her mind raced with countless guesses, but her face remained composed.

Gong Shaojun merely glanced at the male cultivator with a faint smile, "Understood. For now, just stay in Dihuang Palace. Xiao Qi's body still needs to be observed for a while."

The male cultivator performed a respectful bow and then turned to leave the Dihuang Palace.

These two people's personalities and attitudes were colder than the other, which actually narrowed down Palace Seven's range of guesses.

Gong Shaojun did not sit on the imperial throne, but went to a side hall study. He sat cross-legged on a couch made of ice cloud jade.

She calmly said, "How are you feeling"

Gong Qi repeated what she had just said to the male cultivator, but added another question: "Mother, all I remember was being hit by a rocket. What happened after that"

Gong Shaojun said succinctly, "Your heart was broken and corroded by fire poison. I gave you a new heart and sealed the fire poison."

Palace Qī subconsciously reached up to touch her left chest.

Her heart here...has already been replaced

How could Gong Qi have no feelings at all about something so big

Gong Shaojun continued, "The rocket came from your fourth sister. So far, we haven't found the archer. Your fourth sister disappeared a few days ago."

Gong Qi's brain was a little messy, but she still summarized some things.

"So the person who wants to kill me, isn't necessarily my fourth sister"

Gong Shaojun nodded slightly: "Perhaps it's your other siblings."

Gong Qi:：“……”

"Xiao Si's personality wouldn't allow him to harm his own people, there must be something else going on here."

Gong Qi nodded and said, "I feel the same way."

Although her eldest sister didn't like to pay attention to her and often brushed her off, she cared about her safety without a doubt.

Although she used her name to get her to the vicinity of Chengtianzhu, she would still provide her with three bodyguards for fear that she would die there.

Moreover, Gong Qi has been in the Yuanyuan domain for so long.

If she had even a little bit of thought, she could have died a terrible death without any relation to me. How could she possibly use such a stupid method

Gong Shaojun's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, "Sending you to the Yuan domain that day was originally to let you avoid disputes and give you ten years to grow. Unexpectedly, you were imprisoned in the Heavenly Punishment Soul Formation, and this led to a series of events... This encounter with life and death crisis is probably linked to a bigger secret. This king will investigate the truth as soon as possible."

After saying that, Gong Shaojun paused for a moment.

"However, the fire poison in your body will eventually become a problem."

Palace Seven also knows the power of the Ninefold Fire Phoenix Poison.

He's still alive, and doing well, which is truly a miracle.

Gong Qi: "Mother, is there a cure for the fire poison within me"

Gong Shaojun even replaced her heart, but he couldn't cure the poison within her.

It can be seen that even the Nine-Headed Phoenix's poison is helpless against it.

After Palace Qi inquired, Palace Shaojun silently watched Palace Qi.

Palace Seven's heart turned cold.

"Could it be that there is no antidote for the poison within me… Am I destined to die"

"That's not true."

Upon hearing this from Gong Shaojun, Gong Qi secretly let out a breath.

> It's not a dead end.

Then Gong Shaojun spoke in a soft voice: "To cure this poison, you need the Dragon Emperor's blood of the Heaven and Earth Netherfire Dragon, the Cold Soul Blood Flower, and the Taiji Cloud Stone."

Every word Palace Shaojun uttered made Palace Qi's facial expression become more and more numb.

The Heavenly Fire Dragon is one of the three overlords in the Chaotic Realm. Its strength... should be about the same level as its mother, right

The dragon emperor's essence blood of the Heaven and Earth Netherfire Dragon is more difficult to obtain than letting Gong Qi single-handedly slay a Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal-level extraterrestrial beast.

Cold Flower of Blood Spirit grows in the depths.

Coldwater, it's where Gong Shaojun’s second sister vanished. It's also the coldest and most desolate place in the entire Northern Territory.

To delve into the icy depths and retrieve the Frost Spirit Blood Flower is no less difficult than venturing to the Underworld to bring back the Abyssal Coffin.

The Tai Chi Cloud Stone... This is the treasure of the Xuan Tian Sect, said to have been left behind by the first immortal who ascended from the Xuan Tian Realm.

This thing is a symbol of the Xuan Tian Sect, it's very meaningful.

These three things are extremely difficult to obtain.

Even though Gong Qi is now the Seventh Young Master of the Northern Border, he is powerless.

Gū Qī opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Gong Shaojun's eyes and brows were calm. "I've already sent people to the Xuan Tian Sect to borrow Taiji Yun Stone. The situation in the Chaos Realm is complicated. If we want to get the Dragon Emperor's blood of the Heavenly Netherfire Dragon, it will probably take some time."

As for the Cold Soul Blood Flower, I have also sent someone to find it.

Gong Qi was stunned, "Then what do I need to do"

"Just stay and recuperate at DiHuang Palace."

Gong Qi could only give up and recuperate in Di Huang Palace, awaiting news.

In fact, all the injuries she sustained from the mutated gronn were already healed. The only thing that bothered her was the fire poison inside her body.

Although she stayed in the Imperial Phoenix Palace, with the Prince of the Palace being so busy, the two of them hardly ever got to see each other.

Gong Qi hasn't reached the level to cultivate yet.

As soon as she started cultivating, her celestial energy circulated, and the fire poison within her body began to spread.

She can't use fairy energy, she can't even set up formations or draw talismans. Can she just spend her days reading and strolling around

But even just wandering around isn't entirely without benefit.

For example, a pleasant surprise.

It turned out that the masked cultivator who took her to the Imperial Phoenix Palace that day was the Grand Priest of the Northern Border.

Gong Qi's life was in his hands.

He has another identity.

One of her mother's partners.

Gong Er and Gong Si are both his daughters.

That's why he called Palace Fourth "Little Fourth" that day.

Gong Qi ate a big piece of watermelon at that time.

Because Palace Two went missing, now Palace Four is implicated in the murder of Palace Seven, and he has also disappeared.

The High Priest Rong Zhan had remained in the Di Huang Palace all along.

He went to such lengths to save Palace Seven, all for the safety of Palace Four.

Gong Qi had chatted with the high priest several times before, trying to find out about the injuries on her body.

This High Priestess's demeanor is colder than her mother's by three points. I wonder how the two of them get along on a daily basis

Since finding out the High Priest's identity, Gong Qi has never looked for him again.

Afraid of embarrassment.

She was bored, so she went for a stroll around the Di Huang Palace.

As I rounded the corner, I saw a familiar face—Gong Wu.

He still had a smile on his face.

Gong Qi truthfully asked, "Shouldn't you be guarding the Eternal Chaos Azure Sea Dragon in the Yunhuang Clan for ten thousand years"

A flicker of tension crossed Gong Wu's face, his smile momentarily freezing.

He paused, then whispered softly, "It's been three thousand years."

Though spoken softly, Gong Qi seemed to hear the gritted teeth in her words.

She smiled sheepishly: "It's my fault. I went to Yuanyu and lost track of time."

Palace Five feigned indifference and said, "That day when Little Six targeted you, I never thought you would be my sister."

Palace Fifth sighed, "If I had known earlier, I would have definitely not let her be so willful."

Gong Qi smiled faintly: "What's there to be surprised about Fifth Brother spoiling Sixth Sister is because he loves his younger sister, isn't it I'm lucky to be Fifth Brother's sister."

Palace Seven smiled faintly, with a friendly and kind expression on her face, but the words she spoke were particularly sarcastic.

Who doesn't know why Gung Wu was suddenly punished to guard the Chaotic Azure Dragon Sea in the Yun Huang Clan

Gong Wu didn't know if he was truly clueless or pretending to be, a smile plastered on his face: "Seventh Sister, your words have left me feeling utterly ashamed."

Gong Qi inwardly scoffed twice, too lazy to continue sparring with Gong Wu. He directly asked, “Fifth Brother, where are you going”

"I was just looking for you."

"Looking for me"

Gong Qi was a bit surprised.

What could she possibly have to do with Goro

Palace Wu coughed lightly, quickly glanced around, and pulled Palace Qi to a secluded corner.

Gong Qi walked two steps and refused to go any further, "Fifth Brother, just say what you have to say."

Gong Qi's body still has fire poison, and she cannot easily use her fairy energy.

Gong Qi only dared to be alone with Gong Wu.

Palace Fifth also knew her worries and simply said, "It's Third Sister who asked me to bring you a message."

Palace Seven blinked, feigning innocence: "Third Sister"

Palace Five chuckled softly: “I don't know how Seventh Sister met Third Sister, but she’s causing trouble again this time, making it difficult for me to rest. She insisted that I bring a message to you.”

All the things that Gong Qi encountered near Chengtianzhu were blocked by Gong Shaojun.

So, Palace Five didn't know that Palace Seven had ever summoned Palace Three as a hired muscle.

Gong Qi: "What did you say"

It's time for you to keep your promise.

Palace Five said something without a beginning or end, and then he just vanished into thin air.

Only Palace Seven stood alone, confused.

Is it time for her to keep her promise

Gong Qi is someone who once promised Gong San three conditions, but Gong San never said what the conditions were.

Palace Three suddenly had Palace Five bring her this sentence, could it be that she was needed somewhere

Palace Qi walked on the road, still thinking.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a guard from Gong Shaojun's side coming to deliver a message.

The Heavenly Emperor summons you. Please, young master Qi, go at once.

Palace Seven... she just said that she was walking down this street, and not a word came out of her mouth the whole time.

Subconsciously, Gong Qi also realized that this time, Gong Shaojun summoned her here because it was likely related to her third older sister's matter.

As expected, upon reaching the Imperial Phoenix Palace, Gong Shaojun cut straight to the chase and asked: "Your third sister said that she saved your life in the Yuan domain, which should be considered a debt repaid, and she should be released. What's your opinion"

Palace Seven: "..."

Gong San really thinks highly of her!

It is said that she always has a plan, and thinks ten steps ahead.

Could it be that Palace Three was preparing for today when she asked her to agree to three conditions back in the lower realm

Unexpectedly, Gong Qi agreed to Gong San's terms. At this moment, he could only speak for Gong San.

"Third Sister... she's right."

Gong Qi now feels a bit complex, and can't say anything flowery or insincere.

Moreover, what tricks is she playing in front of her own mother

Gong San definitely plays better than her, he even got himself locked in the eighteen layers of hell.

Gong Shaojun heard Gong Qi's reply, a little surprised, "Tell me"

Gong Qi gritted his teeth, looking sincere as he spoke good words for Gong San.

Actually, Third Sister isn't the first time she saved me.

Since Palace Three had already used the life-saving grace as a condition, Palace Seven decided to lay everything bare.

This included the fact that Gong San wanted to steal her Emperor Phoenix Sword and took advantage of the situation to demand three conditions from her.

Last, he also told Palace Three about what Palace Five had relayed to him.

Highlighting honesty and transparency, with nothing hidden.

Not a single one will be let go.

Palace Shaojun listened to her finish speaking, his face showed not the slightest surprise.

Of course, maybe she was just surprised. Gong Qi didn't notice.

"I understand. You can go back now."

Gong Qi didn't leave.

Gong Shaojun looked up, "What else is there"

"Mother, I want to ask how the antidote is coming along"

Gong Shaojun had seven children, and only Gong Qi could shout "Mother" fearlessly in the main hall of Dihuang Palace.

However, since Gong Shaojun didn't say anything, Gong Qi treated it as tacit consent.

Gong Shaojun: "The Dragon Emperor's blood has news, but the Frost Soul Blossom hasn't been found yet."

A message doesn't necessarily mean we found something.

After all, with a big guy like the Heavenly Fire Dragon lurking in the Chaos Realm, it wouldn't be difficult to find information about him.

The difficult part is how to obtain its essence blood.

Gong Qi whispered, "I'm so bored staying in Di Huang Palace. Since we haven't found anything yet, why don't I go look for it myself"

Gong Qi had already prepared himself for rejection.

Unbeknownst to them, Gong Shaojun merely asked with a faint tone, "Are you sure"

Palace Seven nodded: "It's just my current situation. Using immortal energy will accelerate the erosion of fire poison. I don't know if there's a way to counteract it"

"There are ways." Gong Shaojun pondered for a moment, "But where do you plan to go"

Where to go

Gong Qi wanted to go to the Chaos Realm, but suddenly said: "I want to try the Cold Water."

Gong Shaojun nodded slightly: "Hanshui is the coldest place in Beijng, it can suppress the fire poison in your body... if you want to go, go."

Palace Seven: " …Yes."

Isn't this a little too easy

Gong Qi still prepared many reasons trying to persuade Gong Shaojun to let her out.

However, after a while, Gong Qi also understood.

Judging from the paths her several siblings have taken, Gong Shaojun doesn't seem like the type who likes to keep their children close by.

Unless a few people encounter major events, Gong Shaojun generally wouldn't add much discipline or restriction.

This was a great convenience for Gong Qi.

Before leaving, Gong Qi went to see the High Priest one last time to reinforce the magical seal within her body.

This way, Gong Qi went to Hanshui. If she used her magic again, it wouldn't cause the fire poison to spread further.

The seal is only temporary.

Gong Qi must return within ten years, or the fire poison in her body will begin to take effect.

Although the High Priest was cold in personality, he still gave Palace Q7 a large pile of life-saving things when she was about to leave.

All are top-grade immortal artifacts and elixirs.

Gong Qi was so moved that he couldn't help himself, when he heard the High Priest Rong Zhan say in a calm voice: "Remember to come back alive. If you die, even if Xiao Si comes back, it will be hard to guarantee his safety."Dao Intent to open the door and enter"Tan Yue nodded slightly.I've been tracking Luo Yi for several days and found that his luck is exceptional. In just half a month since arriving in the North-South...
