Chapter 1776: Chapter 836: Finally Finding Someone Who Truly Understands

The little monster took the fragment, turning it over with curiosity in his eyes.

To the little monster, the cauldron piece looked no different from a stone, but he still carefully put the fragment away.

From now on, this fragment would be as important as his life.

Seeing the little monster’s seriousness, the Jade Hand Poison Master nodded with satisfaction. The Jiu Provinces Cauldron Ear, the seventh Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragment, was also the third piece the Jade Hand Poison Master retrieved after Cauldron Name and Cauldron Shape.

This cauldron piece was found by the Jade Hand Poison Master after leaving Ancient Nine Provinces and arriving in the Divine Realm.

In her quest to reclaim this fragment, the Jade Hand Poison Master fought alone, battling for three days and nights against a Fang Immortal under He Feng Valley God Emperor, eventually beheading the Fang Immortal and claiming the fragment.

However, exhausted, the Jade Hand Poison Master was captured by the Divine Emperor Army that arrived later and imprisoned in the Divine Emperor’s Heavenly Prison for hundreds of years.

Centuries passed in the blink of an eye, the seas turned into mulberry fields, and the Jade Hand Poison Master had no idea about the whereabouts of the remaining cauldron pieces of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron.

Nor did she know if anyone inherited her wish to reforge the Jiu Provinces Cauldron.

Had it been a hundred years ago, there was no way the Jade Hand Poison Master would give such an important cauldron piece to a young creature she had only encountered a few times.

But now, the Jade Hand Poison Master no longer cared as much.

In the little monster, she saw a reflection of herself.

Few knew the Jade Hand Poison Master was an orphan.

Before meeting the Hong Meng Fang Immortal, she had no parents, no one to guide her, and committed countless murders, even refining poison with human flesh and hearts.

The world viewed her with trepidation, just like the little monster now.

Until she met the Hong Meng Fang Immortal.

The man with the warmest smile, opened his arms and embraced her.

In the vast Northern Territory Divine Palace, no one could accept the little monster, but out there in the wide world, he would start a new life.

Perhaps he might never find the person with Cauldron Breath.

But as long as he found someone who truly accepted him, that would be enough.

With such hopes, the Jade Hand Poison Master sent the little monster to the exit of the Northern Territory Divine Palace.

"Child, head south from the Northern Territory to the Divine Realm. North from the Northern Territory is the Human Realm. Choose your path. I’ll give you this cloak for protection."

The Jade Hand Poison Master removed the cloak she was wearing, and it was not an ordinary cloak.

It was woven from the feathers of a Jutian Roc that the Jade Hand Poison Master hunted in the Divine Realm years ago.

Wearing it, one could cover three hundred miles a day, with movement technique swift as lightning, and others unable to discern his strength.

The little monster took the cloak, alone, he looked back step by step until he could no longer see the Jade Hand Poison Master. Only then did he resolutely walk forward.

The little monster, wearing the cloak, continued until he reached the snowy boundary of the Northern Territory.

The snow gradually melted, and a warm breeze blew from the north of the Northern Territory.

The little monster had never felt such a warm wind before; he smelled the fragrance of flowers and the breath of life in it.

North was the Human Realm.

What was the Human Realm like?

He looked southward again.

The south of the Northern Territory was the Divine Realm.

The Divine Realm, vast and boundless, would it have the person he sought?

The little monster looked around, and at this moment, the cauldron piece he carried quivered slightly.

The little monster took out the cauldron piece, and it floated in the air, pointing north towards the Human Realm.

The Human Realm?

The little monster was immediately excited and set out towards the Human Realm.

Meanwhile, in the Demon World adjacent to the Human Realm, the fires of war between Beiyu Palace and South Nether City continued to spread.

Ye Lingyue and Little Jiu Nian, among others, managed to pass through Demon King Yan Li’s camp and forged ahead towards Beiyu Palace.

As they traveled, they frequently encountered swarms of corpses.

Every city they passed had fallen; the cities occupied by South Nether City’s army flew the imperial flag of South Nether City.

This made Ye Lingyue and the others’ journey more difficult, as Chi Chi’s expression grew darker by the day.

But when they reached about fifty miles outside Qianyu City, the road was completely blocked.

Ye Lingyue and the others attempted several times to blend into the crowds, but were discovered each time.

Ye Lingyue had no choice but to regroup on the spot and think of a strategy, but two or three days passed, and they still had no plan.

"I can’t wait any longer; I need to see Mother."

Emotions crumbling in an instant, Chi Chi ignored Little Jiu Nian’s persuasion, her mind harboring only one thought: she must find her mother, absolutely must find her mother.

"Chi Chi, don’t be impulsive; we’re all trying to think of a way."

Little Jiu Nian grabbed Chi Chi by one arm, holding on tightly.

But an enraged tigress is not easily subdued by ordinary means.

"Chi Chi, clear your head."

A loud slap resounded, and Chi Chi’s cheek swelled and reddened.

Little Jiu Nian was also stunned, looking at Ye Lingyue.

"You! How dare you hit me!"

Little Chi Chi’s eyes turned red; this woman actually dared to hit her.

Neither her mother nor brother Chi Ye had ever hit her!

"Because I promised your brother I would protect you!"

Ye Lingyue’s eyes shifted, knowing that only invoking Chi Ye’s name could quell Chi Chi.

Though she too didn’t know where Chi Ye was, nor whether he was dead or alive.

This child, pampered and spoiled from a young age, had been indulged all along the way; if she continued to be willful, she would eventually drag everyone down.

"My brother? You’re lying. My brother is missing; he abandoned us."

Chi Chi’s voice carried a sob, her large eyes reddened like a rabbit’s.

With her mother entrapped and her path fraught with difficulties, in such a desperate situation, brother Chi Ye hadn’t appeared.

Her last hope was also extinguished.

All she had witnessed made Chi Chi realize that Beiyu Palace was truly on the brink of destruction.

Demon King Yan Li’s ominous predictions came true; South Nether Emperor Zhan Hen would soon breach Beiyu Palace.

With only a handful of them, saving Beiyu Palace seemed impossible.

If Beiyu Palace fell, her mother too would have little chance of survival.

With each passing day, the risk of Qianyu Prison being breached grew.

She shouldn’t have left Qianyu City; she was the princess of Beiyu Palace, and at such a critical time, she should stand by her mother, protecting Beiyu Palace even if it meant shedding her last drop of blood.

"Your brother didn’t abandon you; he will definitely come. What we must do is find Empress Dowager Chi before Chi Ye returns. Even if Qianyu City is gone, as long as you siblings are alive and Empress Dowager Chi is still breathing, Beiyu Palace will not fall."

Ye Lingyue firmly believed that Chi Ye was not dead.

A man who could rival Di Shen wouldn’t die so easily.

"But without brother Chi Ye, Beiyu Palace isn’t Beiyu Palace. We can’t even enter Beiyu Palace, let alone rescue mother."

Chi Chi doubted.

"Why would you lack ability? Chi Chi, your status is your greatest strength. Your elder brother isn’t here, your mother is trapped; this is precisely when a princess like you should take action."

Ye Lingyue said, giving Chi Chi a wink.
