Chapter 1074: Immortal Mountain’s Xue Songli
Her long fingernails of a jade color gripped around his neck as she said: “You’re still lying to me? I view you as a genius, hence my repeated leniency. Do not mistake this for ignorance.”
“What do you mean?” Feiyun felt the layer of ice on his neck, seeing how serious she was.
“You call yourself my messenger yet you keep all the treasures and secrets instead of handing them to me.” She coldly uttered.
“You’ve never asked me for them.”
“Hand over the sacred fruit.”
“I really don’t have it.”
“I’ll take it myself then.” She reached for his body.
Suddenly, the status hanging on his waist issued a white light. A pleasant voice answered her: “Evil monster, you will not hurt him!”
It came back to life and attacked her with an energy palm strike.
“Little fiend, you are rather bold.” She destroyed the palm strike without any problem and grabbed the statue.
Feiyun’s eyes turned red as he said aggressively: “Do not hurt her.”
The Evil Woman stared at him and said: “Hand the fruit to me or I will crush her divine soul.”
Feiyun gritted his teeth. The fruit was family to him so he wouldn’t let it be eaten.
“Your Excellency, you are forcing my hand.” He took out the pseudo-saint badge, having to save Supreme no matter what.
Her expression suddenly changed and the evil aura receded. Her eyes became clear again and a holy aura started resurfacing. She stared at the statue and then murmured: “I remember something, seems like we went to the treasury not long ago and got a lot of spirit stones, enough to buy an immemorial plot of land from the Alchemy Ghost Market, the fruit doesn’t matter anymore.”
“What the h.e.l.l are you up to?” He became confused.
She put on a faint smile and said: “Feng Feiyun, we’re going to the market. Once I finish the sixth transformation, I will help you reach Heaven’s Emergence.”
Xuanyuan Yiyi was nearby and felt the same confusion. She sent a telepathic message to Feiyun: “There is an enormous power within her, it is rather chaotic. This exceeds the limit of a fifth transformation, her mind is being affected by it.”
Feiyun finally understood. The Evil Woman was at the peak level of the fifth transformation after absorbing the evil energy in her ghost vessel.
However, she must have absorbed more energies from the phoenix blood stolen from the turtle. Just part of this contained an incredible amount of energy, enough to make a grand paragon explode. It was amazing that she was still alive.
She was still out of control and even devoured a territory lord earlier. This was the result of greed.
He intended on calming her down first and said: “Return Supreme to me and we’ll plan the trip.”
“Fine, here.” She returned the statue and smiled beautifully like an angel. It seemed as if she has become a different person.
He put away the statue carefully in order to prevent it from being taken again: “I want to go to the market as well since I need to buy some stuff. This has to wait until after the chaos in Sacred Court though.”
She became easy to deal with all of a sudden, even stating that she would a.s.sist him when necessary - a stark contrast to her murderous self at the start.
When the three of them returned to Sacred Court, the battle at the palace has concluded.
The avatar of Azure Lord could be seen from a distance: “Useless bunch, not even compet.i.tive.”
“Ning s.h.i.+dao, don’t think that you have won. The Long will never give up! Our bloodline is forever strong!”
The majority of elites from the Long have been killed. Only a few experts were alive but they were being tied up to bronze pillars. They were molten from being heated, wanting to refine these experts down.
“Your clan’s fate is over, why bother delaying the inevitable? After today, Sixth Central will no longer be the Long’s.” Azure Lord appeared on top of the main palace.
The crowd clamored right away. Many knew that he wanted to become the next lord but still became startled after hearing the words from his mouth.
“Ridiculous, that is not up to you!” A loud shout came from the horizon, destroying the avatar.
A white-haired old man in a white robe came out of s.p.a.ce. His radiance was blinding.
Behind him were a male and a female. The man was handsome and refined while the woman was beautiful and elegant while wearing a white veil.
Territory lords became alarmed. This old man was rather powerful.
An elder said: “The man behind him is the lord of Lifeless, I’ve seen him thirteen thousand years ago and he was just as young as he is now, looking like twenty years of age. Now, I’m so old and he’s still br.i.m.m.i.n.g with youth.”
Another recognized the woman: “That’s the lord of Five-sword Grotto, Xiao Mengyu.”
Azure Lord’s avatar appeared again. It laughed and said: “Sky Mound’s Wan Rihong, North Expanse’s Xiaoyao Hai, Immortal Mountain’s Xue Songli, and Nether Grotto’s Living Corpse.”
Most have heard of these names before - these were four mysterious masters of Sixth Central.
“I know that the Five-sword Lord and Lifeless Lord have studied under Immortal Mountain before. So the old man is Xue Songli?”
The experts had a hard time staying calm. These four seniors were famous tens of thousands of years ago. They stood at the apex of Sixth Central. A few territory lords wanted to learn from them but couldn’t get in.
“Senior Songli, aren’t you above worrying about mortal affairs? The wind must be strong today to blow you here. Perhaps you can’t handle the loneliness at Immortal Mountain.” Azure Lord laughed.
He has only risen in the last ten thousand years, far from being as old as these characters.
Feiyun saw them and said: “This is quite a show, even these undying old men are out and about. Will Azure Lord be able to handle this?”
“Ning s.h.i.+dao, you have gone too far. Taking over and treating the lord as a puppet, leaving your descendants free to perform depravities. You can’t even control your own clan, let alone a dynasty. Sixth Central is a representative of the human race, it will decline under your leaders.h.i.+p. I have invited my master to come today so that you would know to give up and perform your duties as a territory lord.” Xiao Mengyu uttered coldly.
“Grotto Lord, this is none of your business. The Long has become rotten so I merely followed the heaven’s will. My leaders.h.i.+p will only make Sixth Central stronger.” Azure Lord smiled.
“Ning s.h.i.+dao, your arrogance is out of control.” She summoned five flying swords and sent them toward the avatar.
The latter caught all five swords within its palm and sent her flying with one strike.
She was on the same level as the other territory lords yet she lost to a single move from his avatar.
“I normally don’t kill women and children. However, you must be punished. I will cut down five souls of yours.” He sneered.???ℯ?????νe?.c??
He sent the five swords back straight at her.
