How could Shenzong let go of Chidi? He a.s.sembled the power of thunderbolts and smashed at Chidi. Yu Xuanji flew up to block the thunderbolt"s attack. Chidi never expected that the woman would risk her life to protect him in the crisis, and he felt surprised in his heart. But he also never knew that the woman was laying out a trap, waiting for him to drop in.
Although Chidi had the essence spirit of Yun Mu to protect himself, he was still incapable of fighting against Shenzong. Just now, Yu Xuanji had been badly mauled by the thunderbolts. Chidi had never imagined it. But how could Shenzong spare Chidi? Po Xi flew over, thunder and lightening alternating. Rolling clouds were split by the thunderbolts. Chidi was safeguarded by the devil army. At that momen, Chidi thought nothing but how to flee away, afraid that it would be too late to escape. The two sides had come to a deadlock. Xu Linghe brandished his Flowing Light sword to the devil army, and killed the devil souls everywhere it waved. On the sky, the souls essences gradually disappeared, and numerous devil soldiers were injured and killed. On the other hand, guests in the restaurant seemed to have gotten used to devils and ghosts. And Zhu Jiuyin also kept an eye on what happened outside. It was an uneasy night. It seemed that someone was more anxious than Zhu Jiuyin himself and took action in advance. On the cloud, Chidi was pressed hard by Po Xi, and was only able to defend instead of attacking. Of course, Zhu Jiuyin would not allow Chidi to vanish. It remained unclear about the authority distribution in the three realms, even the Ninth-level Heaven wanted to add the trouble. Apparently, all the force wanted to take the share of the spoils, and existence s.p.a.ce was being compressed. Of course, some competent persons would not reconcile himself to it, like Chidi. So Zhu Jiuyin thought he should not look down upon Chidi, and it was time to utilize Pangu"s Incantation.
Zhu Jiuyin transformed himself into a plume of smoke and spiralled to the clouds. Po Xi held her divine device high, and then lighting was accompanied by peals of thunder. Xu Linghe"s Flowing Light swept gently, and those devil soldiers injured by the Sword Qi turned into ashes instantly. The Flowing Light sword cleared a blood way. Whereever it went, blood flowed like stream. Chidi condensed his Spirit Power, hoping it could resist the power of the Spiritual Qi. But unexpectedly, as soon as the leader of devil army came out, he was cleaved into two by the divine sword. Xu Linghe"s Flowing Light Sword kept slashing. Those Monsters were no match for the divine instrument"s. Looking at the wife in the arms, Chidi was a bit worried. It was the woman who had warded off the tribulation for him, so how could he abandon her? Po Xi acted in cooperation with Xu Linghe, as Flowing Light Sword and thunderbolts worked with each other. When the power together stirred the sky, it was too late for Chidi to escape. A stretch of spirit light gleamed to him head-on. Nascent Soul flew over to protect his Grandmaster"s safety. If Chidi would die, Xiao Qi was bound to kill Nascent Soul and his tribe. Seemingly, Xiao Qi surrendered to Grandmaster, but he still had kingly demearor inwardly. Di Qing could not be comparede with him. Therefore, without Grandmaster, Nascent Soul was nothing. At that moment, Nascent Soul wanted to defend against the Spirit Power but was thrown tens of meters away. Shenzong gave out another smash, and Nascent Soul was totally resistless to such mighty Spirit, falling off the clouds. Nascent Soul was eager to see his daughter. Couldn"t he survive this time? His body was falling, all he could hear was the heartbeating. The moment he was about to fall on the ground, Wuyou came to catch him. However Xiao Douya"s eyes were burning with anger at the sight of Nascent Soul, because it was this bad guy who took Xiao Douya away. But for Uncle Xiao, Xiao Douya thought he could not see his mother again. But how could this little boy know that his Uncle Xiao took him as chips? Xiao Douya came up and gave Nascent Soul a kick, but was held back by Wuyou into her arms. Wuyou hated Nascent Soul extremely, but how could Wuyou just sit by and watch Phoenix without father? Even though Nascent Soul had committed the evilest things, he was still the Phoenix"s father that she loved. And Wuyou would never forget the scene where Phoenix had saved her and her child in the hut.
Nascent Soul was unwilling to accept Wuyou"s a.s.sistance and gave out a thrust at Xiao Douya. Wuyou picked Xiao Douya up and dashed back tens of meters to dodge Nascent Soul"s a.s.sault. Seeing a chance coming, Nascent Soul took to his legs. Chengyi was shocked when watching Xiao Douya"s mother let go of the enemy. Wasn"t she afraid of being reproached by Senior Brother? Liu Ruoshui sneered beside. Nascent Soul was Kunlun"s enemy. If Grandmaster knew that the woman let Nascent Soul go, Senior Brother and the woman"s wedding would come to an end. And Senior Brother would still belong to Liu Ruoshui herself. Liu Ruoshui gloated over her wit. "The ugly woman wants Senior Brother? Not so easy." When Po Xi cleaved again, a gust of hurricane roared and rolled Chidi away. In the thunderbolts, vortex kept spreading. Shenzong never foresaw that a powerful spirit would take Chidi away. Chidi was really lucky! Xu Linghe had killed tens of thousands of devil soldiers. It was the first time for the immortals in the restaurant to witness Kunlun"s power. This battle was well-known in the three realms, warning prying eyes not to take presumptuous action.
Shenzong landed from the clouds, and pulled up the corner of his mouth again when seeing Ying Fu. Ying Fu was indeed at leisure, tasting the tea. Xiao Douya threw himself into Xu Linghe"s arms and called "Dad" sweetly. Xu Linghe held him up in the arms. The family of three embraced tightly. Chengyi could not still understand why the ugly woman was his sister-in-law, but had to admit that Senior Brother loved her. Liu Ruoshui pulled the corner of Chengyi"s clothes. Watching jealousy on Junior Sister"s face, Chengyi shuddered with fear and began worrying about Senior Brother. Because if little Junior Sister told what little sister-in-law had done to Grandmaster, it was inevitable that Grandmaster would break up this affectionate couple. After all, Nascent Soul was the enemy of Kunlun. But Chengyi would not allow little Junior Sister to stir up trouble. For Chengyi, he was willing to do anything for his Senior Brother as long as Senior Brother led a happy life.
"Little Junior Sister, let"s buy something to eat for Grandmaster."
Chengyi mentioned his little Junior Sister and disappeared in a blink. Wuyou liked this adorable Junior Brother, and also feared that Liu Ruoshui would tell the truth. She and her husband had gone through hardship along the way, but Wuyou did not regret having saved Nascent Soul.
Because Chidi had been taken away, the devil army fled back to the Devil Realm with fright. Nascent Soul led the discomfited troops and beaten generals to the Courier Station. Di Qing never expected that the devil army would suffer one more defeat, so his heart was vacillating. "Was I wrong when I put all my chips on Chidi?" With the thought, Di Qing became jealous of Xu Linghe.
Sure enough, Xiao Qi would not join in the fight to attack Shenzong. Even if he had surrendered to the Mount Da Huang, he still had his own freedom, and his purpose was to have the power to counterbalance his rival in love. As for authority, Xiao Qi would depend on n.o.body. He had just used a few tactics to kill the King of Fairy Kingdom and take the throne. But for Xiaoyao, he thought he could not use any tactic because compulsion would only lead Xiaoyao to leave farther from him. He would not commit the same mistake twice. In the Courier Station, the devil army was jittery without Chidi"s presence. Tomorrow would the day when the Ninth-level Heaven held the feast. If no one from the Mount Da Huang would appear, the Mount Da Huang would be laughed at. But now Chidi"s present whereabouts were unknown. Madam Xuanji proposed that Xiao Qi disguised himself as Chidi and partic.i.p.ated in the Heavenly feast in the Ninth-level Heaven. Xiao Qi refused it again and again, but still had to agree to it. Madam Xuanji would like to see Xiao Qi"s ability, because it was she who picked up the man and his ability mattered a lot. Nascent Soul was rather unwilling to accept the proposal. But as his Grandmaster was not there, no one supported him. And Di Qing only cared about how to flatter Madam Xuanji, completely neglecting Nascent Soul"s life. No one could predict what had happened tonight— they did not only lose Chidi but also suffer great loss of the army. When the Meeting Hall became calm, Yu Xuanji sat on the soft couch alone. She married Chidi just for Baize"s people. It seemed that she had gained much from it, since Baize"s territory had expanded from the wolf pack in the west to Teal Hill in the south. It was the most prosperous for Baize, and it was the benefit brought by following Chidi.
"Hasn"t slept yet? Madam Xuan?"
Xiao Ba came slowly, looking rather weird with the mask in the candlelight. In terms of scheming, Xiao Ba could not be compared with Yu Xuanji; but talking about obsession, she was incomparable. To restore her face, Xiao Ba dashed out of the Nether World by her resentment. It was women"s nature to love beauty. Even for Xiao Ba, she also wanted to be a beautiful ghost. At present, Chidi was taken away. In other words, Madam Xuan should be the boss, so Xiao Ba had no choice but to seek refuge from Madam Xuan. But Xiao Ba just found something interesting in the Meeting Hall, that is, Xiao Qi was disguised as Chidi to the Ninth-level Heaven. It was suspicious whether they planned to replace Chidi. Xiao Ba was a woman, and she knew women best. Women loved handsome men. Chidi was inferior to Xiao Qi with respect to appearance. It seemed that Madam Xuanji showed interest in the Fairy Kingdom. So Xiao Ba thought she"d better give Madam Xuanji a hand and do her a favor so that Madam Xuanji would be less on guard against her.
"Since Devil G.o.d is not here, why not take place of him?"
"How dare you!"
Yu Xuanji came down from the soft couch and thought, "The ghost can surprisingly guess right what I am thinking about. I should restrain myself a bit in the future. Don"t go for wool and come back shorn."
"Madam, the king of the Fairy Kingdom is really like a jade tree in the wind and make hearts skip a beat."
Xiao Ba said it erotically with sensual desire in her eyes, as if Xiao Qi were her lover. Xiao Ba was probing Yu Xuanji deliberately. If Yu Xuanji had an affection for Xiao Qi, she could not bear to hear such giddy words.
"Xiao, you have followed Chidi for some days. You should know the rules. Otherwise, the other part of your face will be destroyed as well."
"I know. I don"t dare to make a fuss."
Xiao Ba was struck with a shock inwardly, wondering if she guessed wrong... Actually, Madam Yu Xuanji"s heart had been enchanted. It was true that Xiao Qi was of the right type that she admired. Women"s heart got moved in a moment. When Yu Xuanji saw Nascent Soul forced Xiao Qi to kneel down, she was astounded by Xiao Qi. But she forgot that the man whom she adored took the child as a chip finally, and his heart was cold and ruthless. Xiao Ba took a glance at Yu Xuanji and thought that it was redundant to stay longer, so she retreated quietly. When the hall became calm again, Yun Xujin could not calm her heart down, wondering whether she had the ability to replace Chidi.
Xu Linghe held Xiao Douya in his arms. On the way back, a fit of child"s giggle tickled ears. Shenzong turned his head over several times, but was interrupted by Ying Fu. Ying Fu knew that Shenzong was displeased inwardly, because the person who used to circle around Shenzong paid more attention to others now. How disappointed Shenzong should be! Even thought Shenzong was at an old age, he still contended for favors. Ying Fu could not help but shake his head. It turned out that Shenzong was really old. The moment the group of people entered the courtyard, Xiao Douya still attached himself to his father, pestering his father to take him up to the Bamboo Tower. Shenzong frowned upon the grand disciple"s behavior and forbade Xu Linghe to take a step into the woman"s boudoir. But he did not know that they had been a married couple. In the end, the child"s cry pushed Shenzong to compromise. Ying Fu chuckled. Xiao Douya"s playing sound rang from the Bamboo Tower. For a moment, it sounded pleasing to Shenzong"s ears. When Liu Ruoshui saw Grandmaster, she fell on knees unexpectedly. She thought if she did not reveal her true state of her mind, she was afraid that she would have no chance afterwards. It turned out that Liu Ruoshui went all out for love. She loved Senior Brother Xu, but the unknown woman scooped him. What"s worse, the woman was so ugly, which fairly embarra.s.sed Liu Ruoshui.
"Ruoshui has something to report."
"What is it?"
"Is Nascent Soul the enemy of Kunlun?"
"Yes."
"If so, why Senior Brother"s woman let go of Nascent Soul?"
"Junior Sister!"
It was too late for Chengyi to stop. What Junior Sister did was adding fuel to the flames. Grandmaster had been burned with anger, and now Junior Sister poured oil on the fire. Chengyi did not dare to see Shenzong, afraid that Grandmaster would vent his thundering fury on Chengyi himself.
"Go to take a rest!"
Why was Grandmaster so calm? Chengyi gave a stern look at his Junior Sister and did not know what Senior Brother would respond to it when he knew it and hoped Junior Sister Liu would have good luck. When Grandmaster walked away, resentful look appeared on Liu Ruoshui"s face. Ying Fu followed Shenzong into the inner hall, thinking what the girl had said fitted in exactly with Shenzong"s wish, since Shenzong did not like Wuyou and her child. And now Shenzong could make a big issue out of it. But why did Shenzong not do that and get angry instead? In fact, Shenzong was supposed to be happy inwardly now. However, Ying Fu was more optimistic about the woman, because he remembered Xu Linghe"s energetic performance when Xu dated with the woman. Ying Fu knew that Xu Linghe was trapped in it. But it was a pity that Xu Linghe"s Grandmaster who thought highly of ranks did not think so. Ying Fu thought, "Xu Linghe, you still have a lot to suffer! And my days will be full of fun!" Ying Fu took vigorous steps in smug self-satisfaction. Unexpectedly, the moment he entered the bedroom, he lost his steps and fell into a trap. Ying Fu dashed up and shouted, "What trap do you set this time? Young man!" His voice just faded away, and he saw Shenzong suspending in the mid-air. Did Shenzong do it? Ying Fu did not believe it at all. How could such a pedantic guy actually do that?
