Chapter 250 Capturing the Divine Egg, Unparalleled Delicacy

"indeed, very good!" wu yanzi clapped her hands, quite satisfied with the vigorous and confident bearing of her subordinates.

however, that was to be expected.

after all, it was just a minor place among the seven states of jiang and e.

and the biggest threat here was no longer present, perhaps already killed by a demon god.

so...

for wu yanzi, this operation seemed like capturing something with minimal effort.

without any surprises or threats.

"since everyone is ready, let's start now—wait a moment!" just as wu yanzi was about to give the command to move out, a skinny, dry palm abruptly raised in the crowd, interrupting her speech. all eyes instantly fell upon the person who raised their hand.

wu yanzi's heavily made-up brows furrowed deeply, her tone displeased, "chang hong, you'd better have a good reason, or else..."

wu yanzi let out a cold snort, the threat in her eyes speaking volumes.

chang hong was a slight, swarthy young man with sharp features and deep-set, yet spirited eyes, his muscles like steel. meticulous by nature and on par with wu yanzi in rank, he was a thousand households of the yiluan bureau and, aside from wu yanzi, the strongest among this group.

"miss wu yanzi!" chang hong, unfazed by her threat, simply bowed and said calmly, "although the main culprit has left, there are two threats in baihua county that are worth special mention."

"let's hear them!"

"the first threat is the dragon guard created by the main culprit."

chang hong said, "as for the second, it's the eldest senior sister of the fiery sun sect, qin shunying. despite her young age, she has a celebrated reputation in this area and it's not just an empty name."

"qin shunying!" wu yanzi's eyes suddenly lit up, licking her lips, "i've heard she's a beauty that doesn't grace the world with her presence often."

"uh..." chang hong said, "well-known names live up to their reputation, so she should be noteworthy."

"excellent, excellent!" wu yanzi immediately burst into laughter, clapping, "i didn't expect to gain such a prize from this operation."

"since she mingles with the rebels, she too is a rebel. for such rebels, they should be arrested by me, thoroughly interrogated, and brought to repent," wu yanzi said, extending her pinkish tongue, licking her lips.

on her pale face, a visibly red flush rose, looking somewhat unhealthy.

despite her voluptuous figure and striking beauty, wu yanzi's action did not seduce but made those around her shiver.

it was because wu yanzi was known for one of the worst temperaments within the twisted ranks of the yiluan bureau.

indiscriminate in her pursuits, and her methods knew no bounds.

her favorite thing was to torture those high and mighty beauties into senseless, irrational animals.

seeing wu yanzi visibly excited, those around her began to mourn for the eldest senior sister of the fiery sun sect.

"you're responsible for finding qin shunying, hold her, and don't let her escape," wu yanzi instructed chang hong, "leave the rest to me."

"understood!" chang hong nodded slightly.

"very good!" wu yanzi nodded with satisfaction. now, there truly were no problems. wu yanzi waved her hand, "advance!"

boom, boom, boom!

with her order,

the explosives hidden throughout baihua county soon detonated, sending up billows of smoke and causing chaos.

hiss—

accompanied by countless bloodlines bursting in her pupils.

wu yanzi flexed her arms, the muscles in her back tensed rapidly, tearing through her clothes, and eventually, two pairs of flesh-colored wings emerged. her flesh mutated, with black feathers glistening metallically breaking through the skin and protruded outwards.

swish!

the wings quivered gently, creating a white surge of air.

wu yanzi's speed surged in an instant, breaking through the encirclement of several dragon guards.

wang xindong let out a roar, his face contorted with ferocity, prepared to give chase. but at that moment, the remaining secret agents of the yiluan bureau finally caught up, throwing down several resilient nets, made of an unknown material, to block the way and plunged into battle with the dragon guards in the blink of an eye.

"phew, ran into a bit of trouble." wu yanzi's figure disappeared down the corridor.

it wasn't until she looked back and saw no sign of wang xindong and the others that she finally exhaled in relief, "thankfully, things went mostly smooth."

swish!

with a flick of her fingers, wu yanzi placed the two daggers back into her bosom.

the sounds of battle grew fainter, settling down to silence. a dark corridor lay before her, its end opened with a window, through which slivers of sunlight poured in. apart from that, there was no other light source, giving it a somewhat dim appearance. stay connected via empire

step!

wu yanzi moved forward with cat-like steps, her posture elegant.

before an ancient stone door, wu yanzi's heart stirred slightly, and she paused, "this should be the place."

she licked her lips, excitement at the prospect of nearing success blooming on her face. however, the closer one is to success, the more prone they are to fail due to relaxation. as an experienced secret agent of the yiluan bureau, wu yanzi wouldn't make such a rookie mistake.

click!

she pressed a mechanism, extending her hand to push open the stone door before her.

at the same time, her muscles tensed, and the wings on her back trembled gently.

her vigilance was at its peak, ready to face surprises and combat at any moment.

finally...

amidst the frictional noise, the stone door fully opened.

inside was a slightly empty hall with no extra decorations.

on the central platform stood a translucent golden egg, about as tall as a person, bathing in the sunlight and glowing itself, with the temperature around it so high that the air started to show slight distortions.

the aura of a divine beast couldn't be faked.

without needing other means of verification, wu yanzi was almost certain that this was the goal of her mission.

besides the solar phoenix egg, there was a young girl in the room. she was clad in red, looking no older than eighteen, with pearly pale arms cradling the solar phoenix egg, lost in slumber. her black hair spilled over her shoulders like cascading clouds or waterfalls.

her skin was already fair, but against the backdrop of the solar phoenix egg, it looked almost translucent, emitting a delicate, jade-like sheen.

the moment wu yanzi laid eyes on the girl,

her heart gave a fierce jolt, as if she had been jabbed with a spear

her gaze trailed down the girl's delicate frame to her porcelain-white ankles, almost unable to pull her eyes away...
