Gu Ruoyun then placed the black dragon's body into the Ancient Divine Pagoda.

The spiritual beasts who were in the middle of consolidating their breakthrough in the Ancient Divine Pagoda all jumped in shock from this sudden arrival. They then returned to normal when they saw the black dragon's body.

Gu Ruoyun also remembered to take the treasures that Elder Mei and the others had left behind. Now that there was no one left in the ruins and her spiritual beasts have accepted the inheritance, she does not need to be afraid of being attacked by the other spiritual beasts.

"Where do you plan to head to next?"

Zixie's hoarse yet demonic voice rang out from within her soul.

Gu Ruoyun fell silent for a moment before she lifted her head to look at the sky and slowly replied, "I want to go to Wind Valley for a while. After all, I've promised Feng Yuqing that I would help to restore his powers. I've also agreed to meet Xiao Ye at Wind Valley."

It's been quite a while, I wonder if Xiao Ye has already arrived in Wind Valley...

"What did you say?"

In Wind Valley, Feng Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on a chair, gently furrowed her willowy brows. A glint then flashed in her eyes. "You say that Gu Ruoyun has arrived in the First City?"

"That's right, Eldest Lady. I heard that she was involved in a conflict with the Charm Sect members outside the city gates. However, we lost all trace of information about her after she had stepped into the First City. We don't even know where she is now."

An old man joined his fists in front of Feng Xiaoxiao as he replied with reverence.

Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered. She then gently stroked her chin and chuckled, "Elder Bai, I want you to send out scouts with Gu Ruoyun's portrait to find her. If a woman like her is in the First City, she can't possibly have disappeared into hiding. The only explanation for this is that she's using an alias! If that's the case, finding her would be a little more challenging. Furthermore, once you've found her, don't touch her yet. I want you to do what you can to entice her to join Wind Valley."

She then paused before she continued to speak, "Gu Ruoyun had previously rejected Wind Valley's invitation because she was outside the First City. No matter how unsatisfied Wind Valley was, we had to abide by the First City's rules. That was why she had felt secure enough to refuse. However, now that she has arrived in the First City, things are now completely different! You will first use gentle measures and if that doesn't work, do it the hard way. You must make her join Wind Valley even if you have to use bribes and threats!"

"Eldest Lady, what if even bribes and threats don't work?"

Elder Bai questioned as he looked at Feng Xiaoxiao.

Feng Xiaoxiao fell silent. After a long pause, she lifted her pretty gaze and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes. "Gu Ruoyun has a personality that is difficult to control. Honestly speaking, I cannot guarantee that I would be able to control her. I should never have to resort to such measures on a genius from the beginning but she's more than a genius, she's a pill master too! If the pills that she had refined during the Medicine Sect's general meeting ends up in the hands of Wind Valley's enemies, it would certainly bring Wind Valley a lot of trouble. Thus, I have no choice but to do it this way. You must do everything you can to pull her to our side. If you really can't accomplish that, you have no choice but to kill her to make sure that she cannot join our enemies."

Feng Xiaoxiao's fist was tightly clenched before she took a deep breath.

Honestly speaking, Feng Xiaoxiao does not want to have Gu Ruoyun killed at all. Not only because she feels a certain tenderness towards Gu Ruoyun's talent, more importantly, if the assassination was to fail, she would certainly bring Wind Valley an infinite disaster.

Unfortunately, she has no other choice.

It was Gu Ruoyun's fault for becoming a pill master.

Furthermore, she holds such precious pill formulas in her hands!

Hence, if they cannot entice her, they can only kill her.
