“It really has the power equal to the fairy weapon?”

At first Zhou Bao just had such a vague guess and nothing more than that. It was beyond his expectation that Golden Rooster gave him a definite answer.

“Of course, it does,” said Golden Rooster, “otherwise, why is the Sword Qi so strong? Your Natal Sword is just at the initial phase. But it has a power equal to the Taihao Fairy Weapon. That’s the power of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!”

“How do you know that?”

“Read more. The knowledge is in the books preserved in the Immortal Palace!” Golden Rooster, whose eyes were full of contempt, took a look at Zhou Bao. “Since this thing happened due to your practice of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, then it’s actually nothing serious!”

After finishing speaking, he turned away and left before Zhou Bao could reply him. Zhou Bao smiled bitterly and cast a look at Wang She, “What’s wrong with Golden Rooster? He’s not happy!”

“Of course, who could be happy after seeing your practice progress!” The corner of Wang She’s mouth jerked and he gave Zhou Bao a dirty look. “Buddy, it’s true that your progress is amazingly fast, but don’t always stand beside us and say those remarks, as if practice was as easy as playing around. It’s not good. It seems like you’re scorning us because we have slow progress!”

“How could it be? God knows my mind. I never wanted to scorn at you!” Zhou Bao immediately complained.

“Only you know whether it’s scorn!” Wang She shook his head, turned around and intended to leave.

“Wait! Chief, I have something to talk with you!”

“What?” Wang She turned back and asked, “You’ve already practiced the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. What else would you need my help for?”

“Of course, you know, three months later, I will go to the Borderline Mountain. Wuyang Region needs your care!”

“I know it very well in my heart. Don’t worry. With the Yin and Yang Dust Formation here, nobody could bring problems to your Wuyang Region or get unjust profit from it!”

“I don’t worry about anything but Yan Yunfei. You know, she’s pregnant now. I have no idea when I can come back. Frankly speaking, I really don’t want to go there!”

Wang She squinted and asked him, “You don’t want to go? I don’t really care. But you have to explain to Elder Qing and White Tiger. At first, you promised you would go. Now you changed your mind. It’s not easy to obtain these two’s permission for this!”

“Precisely because it’s not easy, that’s why I’ve got to go!” Zhou Bao said helplessly. “Ye Qingtian is my enemy. I must kill him. Not for other reasons. Just for my unborn baby. I must cook his goose! But I’m really upset about the safety of my family!”

“There is nothing you need to be upset about. Your wife is pregnant, but it’s her own business. You can’t help her even if you stay here. Can you replace her to be pregnant? “Don’t worry. Even though you’re not here, your subordinates in the Lord Mansion won’t slack, nor would the Zhou’s. Besides, in this situation, even if there’s no Yin and Yang Dust Formation here, nobody will dare to target you. Just set your mind at rest!”

“Why would nobody target me?”

“Hmm. You’re silly. This time, hunting Ye Qingtian is a joint action of several sects. You’re one of the hunters. The sects surely won’t let you have anything to worry about. Not only you. All the experts involved in this hunting action won’t have anything to worry about. Causing troubles for your family amounts to becoming enemies with several biggest sects in the Four Eastern Regions. In this world, there is nobody so audacious, at least for now. When something happens, even if Immortal Palace doesn’t come forward, Divine Wind Palace will do. So, just be at ease and put all your mind on hunting Ye Qingtian!”

“Now that you said it, I feel relieved!” Hearing Wang She’s words, Zhou Bao rested assured. In recent days, the world situation became strange. Zhou Bao could almost be sure that the Central Mainland Region will undergo a violent change after Yan Yuntian had been attacked by an assassin. However, precisely at this moment, he must go on a long journey. At the same time, Yan Yunfei was pregnant. All the things happened to be scheduled during the same period. If somebody plotted against Yan Yunfei during his absence, he would find it difficult to go with relief. These big sects were not a piece of iron plate. Who knew whether somebody in this group would manage to control Yan Yunfei and threaten him so as to achieve some goal?

Thus, he had to to be alert!

For this reason, he wanted help from Wang She who would be cautious and take care of Wuyang Region while he was gone. However, Wang She’s words eased his heart.

“Now you’re relieved, I gotta go!” Seeing Zhou Bao so absent-minded, Wang She said with a smile. “Well then, buddy, go back. Your Natal Sword is already done. I suppose nobody will be able to threaten you. Just go back to accompany your wife!”

“Yeah. I can accompany my wife without worrying!” Zhou Bao smiled. Cupping his hand at Wang She, his figure shotted in the shape of light and flew directly to the Lord Mansion.

“This guy is really a weird person. He even finished the practice of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword’s Natal Sword earlier than me! I remember he didn’t know the mystery of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. But he totally got it in a short amount of time. It’s so strange!” Wang She thought. Thinking of this, he shook his head in bewilderment. In the past years, Zhou Bao brought him many unfathomable enigmas. Now, he had been already used to the accidental surprise from Zhou Bao and developed a numb feeling to all that.

In the following two months, Zhou Bao was a close companion to Yan Yunfei and kept easing her anxiety. In the end, Yan Yunfei finally relaxed a little bit. At the same time, the situation in the whole Jin was peculiar because of Yan Yuntian’s attack.

All of Yan Yuntian’s sons, who ran around on sinister errands from dawn to dusk, had rolled up their flags, silenced their drums, and given up all their large-scale activities. Now they tamely stayed at home and forbid their subordinates to cause troubles. During this special period, nobody wanted to make Yan Yuntian angry.

The investigation was still ongoing. As what Li VII had told Zhou Bao, no matter what, the Crown Prince was not investigated. Pieces of evidence showed that it was a long-cherished plot in which there was a team-up from both inside and outside. Half of the eunuchs and maids in the imperial palace were purged. All the clues pointed to the southern Sect of Flame. Yan Yuntian had raged and roared for more than ten days in the court. He tore up the investigation documents before the vassals and said that he did not believe that Sect of Flame carried out the assassination. He required a second investigation.

Later, the hidden clues gradually appeared bit by bit. Although there was no concrete evidence, all the questionable points led the focus to Yan Yuntian’s third son—Third Prince. Now that things ended up like this, it became odd.

One month later, Yan Yuntian ordered to have the Third Prince brought to him. However, On the way to the palace, Third Prince was ambushed. Even the eight Level Seven experts sent by the imperial court were also severely injured. Three days later, the Third Prince’s baron was removed. The Third Prince’s family was arrested and kept under detention. Third Prince was still missing. Yan Yuntian issued a reward of lots of gold to find him. Finally, this assassination case came to an end.

However, Zhou Bao knew that this thing would not end in such a way.

The so-called end was just a convincing explanation to all the people.

After the closure, the real shit will happen. According to Yan Yuntian’s temper, he would absolutely not let it pass. Even Zhou Bao could guess that the Crown Prince plotted this case. But he could never guess that this time Crown Prince cooperated with Li VII. They plotted so comprehensively that nobody could find out any clue leading to them. Besides, they also made Third Prince the scapegoat. Therefore, it was not a good time to hurt Crown Prince.

However, Yan Yunfei did not know the inside story. The current ending was an acceptable explanation to her. Third Prince was not the outstanding one among Yan Yuntian’s sons and he was not close with Yan Yunfei. But he was her brother, after all. Yan Yunfei was not willing to see a fight between her father and brother. Hence, Zhou Bao rescued him and let he stay in Wuyang Region. Certainly, Yan Yunfei, who was very angry, had no intention to see this brother who assassinated their father. She just needed to know that he was alive.

As for how to deal with this thing ultimately, it would be decided after Zhou Bao comes back from the Three Western Regions.

Time flew. The last day of the two months arrived. Zhou Bao said goodbye to Yan Yunfei on this day. After arranging things in the territory, he headed directly for the Borderline Mountain. In contrast, Moon Deer of Extended Net was slow and he had already set off 10 days ago.

The Borderline Mountain was about 50,000 kilometers away from Zhou Bao’s Wuyang Region. Despite Zhou Bao’s fast speed, he spent four days to get there.

Almost all the people were there when he arrived.

The Borderline Mountain was located at the extreme west of the Central Mainland Region. Behind the Borderline Mountain was an endless sea. This mountain, which was vaster and huger than the Misty Mountain, formed a small arc, enclosing the westmost area in the Central Mainland Region.

The disciples from every sect had agreed to gather together at a small town on the brink of the Borderline Mountain — Yongning.

Yongning meant everlasting peace!

The name suits the town. It was a quiet town. The town, against the Borderline Mountain, belonged to the Jade Pool’s influence. Nobody dared to cause troubles here. Anyone who incurred unnecessary problems was taken to be against the Jade Pool.

Moreover, it was a place where the Central Mainland Region and the Three Western Regions had the most communication. Along the road in this town, people could see a small road in the Borderline Mountain. They could go through the Borderline Mountains, without going uphill and down dale, and reach the seaside. It was also the safest passageway.

The Borderline Mountain was bigger than the Misty Mountain. There were many evil beasts here. The most important thing was that the interior was close to the vast sea. Thus, the evil beasts in the mountain had a close relation with the ones in the sea. And the evil beasts of the sea sometimes came to the mountain. They colluded with each other. If the Jade Pool had not suppressed them in the past tens of thousands of years, this place would have been a stronghold for the evil beasts of the sea.
