Chapter 181: Chapter 181 - Get Lost

Feng Shouzhu shouted in bitterness in his mind as the Swords Gate’s elders had also once investigated the matter regarding to his Great Sun Fiery Crow Yuan Shen that greatly resembled the Yuan Shen of the Shen Ya celestial race, and they found nothing . With that, they let Zuo Xiangsheng off .

However, they did not think that Zuo Xiangsheng would have actually stolen the fire spark of the Shen Ya Celestial Race and cultivated the Great Sun Fiery Crow Yuan Shen!

Tian Yanzong, Zhong Yue and the others too felt worried and Tian Yanzong immediately passed a message to everyone with his psyche saying, “Be prepared, something might happen later! If we end up having to fight, we must scatter ourselves and fight our way out of this Xiao Mang Celestial Race . Whether you could survive and return to the Great Wilderness… . ”

Qi Feng, Jun Lutang, Lei Teng and the others put a melancholic face and they remained silent . No one would have expected such things and if Zuo Xiangsheng really was the one who stole the fire spark, then things would end up badly!

Not only would the Shen Ya Celestial would attack them, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race would also be more than happy to add insult to injury to kill them all . In that case, the two celestial races in constant conflict might end up teaming together to exterminate the Great Wilderness’ Swords Gate!

Zhong Yue’s heart beat quickly and he quietly held Qiu Jin’er’s hand as he thought, What should I do? What should we do? How are we supposed to fight our way out of the Xiao Mang celestial temple… Xin Huo, do you have any brilliant plans?

Within his psyche ocean, the little Xin Huo showed no signs of worry at all and instead, he said in excitement, “There’s also a Devil Soul Forbidden Land underneath the celestial temple . Brat Yue, if a fight breaks out later, we can go into the underground and I will detonate the entire Devil Soul Forbidden Land and release the devil souls inside . I guarantee you that the entire Xiao Mang celestial temple will be very lively!”

Zhong Yue was stunned and he asked in disbelief, “There is a Devil Soul Forbidden Land in the West Barren as well?”

“That’s right! That Devil Soul Forbidden Land should be the third sacrificial grave for the huge grave, god knows how many gods and demons were buried there . ”

Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and thought, Seems like that’s the only way! But if we really have to fight, there wouldn't be many of us from Swords Gate that will survive… .

Feng Shouzhu quickly stood up and said, “Senior martial brother, there’s gotta be some misunderstanding… . ”

“It’s the aura of the sun fire essence, there’s no mistake . ”

The high priest of the Shen Ya Celestial Race raised his hand and said, “If he is not the man who stole the fire spark, then everything is fine but if he is the one, then I definitely won’t leave this case to rest . I am sorry, Brother Shouzhu!”

With that said, Feng Shouzhu had no choice but to look towards Zuo Xiangsheng and said, “Hall Master Zuo, please come out and explain to the high priest . ”

He had already planned for the worst and if Zuo Xiangsheng really did steal the fire spark, he will lead the disciples of Swords Gate to fight their way out of the Xiao Mang celestial temple!

Zuo Xiangsheng then released his skill and walked out of the secret realm . He then bowed towards the high priest of the Shen Ya Celestial Race and said, “My greetings, high priest . ”

The high priest nodded and said expressionlessly, “Is the fire spark of the Shen Ya Celestial Race with you?”

“Yes!” said Zuo Xiangsheng without any hesitation .

Feng Shouzhu was startled and the high priest of the Shen Ya Celestial Race said, “Be patient, Brother Shouzhu . Zuo Xiangsheng, let me ask you again, how did you manage to steal the fire spark from the heavy defenses placed by the entire Shen Ya celestial race?”

Zuo Xiangsheng shook his head and said, “I did not steal it, it was given to me by the celestial lady of the Shen Ya Celestial Race . ”

The high priest of the Shen Ya celestial race stunned and said with a trembling voice, “Given to you by the celestial lady? My daughter gave the fire spark to you?”

“So the celestial lady is your daughter?”

Zuo Xiangsheng hesitated and he said again, “Ten years ago, when I was still a small figure who believed I had no fate to become a Qi Practitioner, I decided to try my luck by embarking on an adventure around the world . Without knowing, I entered the West Barren and was captured by your daughter to serve her . Then… . ”

He hesitated again and he talked towards the high priest of the Shen Ya celestial race through the psyche while the others saw the face of the high priest constantly changed . He put up an angry expression, then he frowned, smiled, and other different expressions, which made the people around him felt curious about what Zuo Xiangsheng told him .

“So that’s how it is . ”

The high priest sighed and looked at Zuo Xiangsheng as he said, “My grandson wants to see you . ”

Zuo Xiangsheng’s body shook and he could not held himself back and he said, “I have a son already?”

The high priest of the Shen Ya Celestial Race looked around and when he saw the other high priests from the other celestial races were listening carefully, he felt angry and he said coldly, “My grandson may be your son but if you want to be my son-in-law, you will have to display a high level of skill! I could overlook the matter regarding the fire spark but your position is not enough for you to marry my daughter! Show me the appropriate power if you want to marry her; otherwise, don’t even think about not marrying her or I will kill you myself!”

Feng Shouzhu immediately felt happy and surprised as the situation progressed to this point . He sneakily gave Zuo Xiangsheng a thumbs up and he said with a laugh, “Senior martial brother, this is a really normal situation… . ”

“Shut up!’

The angry high priest of the Shen Ya Celestial Race said angrily, “Stop bragging!”

Feng Shouzhu laughed dryly and said, “We are all relatives now… . ”

“Get lost!”

“Fine… When can we discuss the details about the marriage?”

… .

The situation settled down and Zhong Yue and the others felt relieved . Although Zuo Xiangsheng did not recount his encounter with the celestial lady completely, it didn’t need a genius to deduce the rest of the story . When the celestial lady captured Zuo Xiangsheng and made him her slave, Zuo Xiangsheng was still not a Qi Practitioner; he was an inconsequential figure of little talented, but held an ambitious and heroic spirit despite this . He was an outstanding person and somehow, he and the celestial lady fell in love with each other .

When the two of them fell in love, the celestial lady quickly got pregnant and knowing that the Shen Ya Celestial Race would definitely not allow her to marry a human, not to mention that he was a slave, she stole the fire spark and gave it to Zuo Xiangsheng . She gave it to him so he could become a Qi Practitioner and come back to marry her one day after he had managed to reach a level high enough to marry her .

Whereas for the Shen Ya Celestial Race, they did not let news about the stolen fire spark and the pregnant celestial lady spread as they viewed these as a humiliation .

These two mysteries remained unsolved only until today, where the father of the celestial lady, the high priest of the Shen Ya Celestial saw the Yuan Shen of Zuo Xiangsheng and him answering these two questions that had plagued them for such a long time .

“The son-in-law of the Shen Ya Celestial Race’s high priest . We are safe now,” said a happy Lei Teng,

Tian Yanzong on the side then thought, Next time, if I have a daughter, I would definitely not allow the existence of male slaves around her… .

With them relieved from the tensions just now, they were confident that Zuo Xiangsheng would win the following battle . Armed with the fire spark of the Shen Ya Celestial Race, and in addition to the strength that placed him at the peak of the Atman Body level, the outcome of the battle was decided .

And the battle later progressed according to their expectation . Zuo Xiangsheng unleashed a devastating power that evaporated the sea water, exposing the ground under the sea and the volcanoes, causing the lava to surge up, and turning the entire place into a sea of volcano . In just an instant, he had turned the disadvantage to his advantage!

With that, Xiao Chushan couldn't do anything and he was forced backwards with barely any resistance . In the end, he was forced out of the secret realm and he surrendered to save his own life .

Zuo Xiangsheng won with overwhelming power and he walked out of the secret realm later, and was welcomed by a happy Feng Shouzhu who then said with a laugh, “There’s no need for a fifth match . If Senior Martial Brother Xiao insists on the fifth match, we Swords Gate will simply admit defeat for that fifth match . ”

The many Qi Practitioners of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race grew incensed and their faces were dark . The high priest of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race raised his hand as he said with a laugh, “Swords Gate won after winning three out of five rounds . With that, we will all overlook and disregard the death of Xiao Chuqing . Would you like to stay for a few more days, Brother Shouzhu?”

Feng Shouzhu replied with a smile, “I have the same thought as well . Pardon our disturbance . ”

“Sure sure!” said a laughing high priest of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race .

The people of the Shan Shen and Gui Shen celestial race then congratulated them and Feng Shouzhu thanked them one by one . The scene became lively as everyone was smiling except for the people of Shen Ya Celestial Race that did not walk up and congratulate them .

Feng Shouzhu immediately signaled Zuo Xiangsheng and said, “Hall Master Zuo, it has been ten years since you had last seen your wife . I think it is time for your reunion with your family . ”

Zuo Xiangsheng understood his meaning and he bowed as he replied, “Understood . ”

Feng Shouzhu then waved at Qi Feng, Lei Teng and the others, “The few of you, follow Hall Master Zuo to the Shen Ya Celestial Race and broaden your horizons . Remember, do not embarrass the Swords Gate . ”

Though they felt confused, Qi Feng, Lei Teng and the others bowed and followed Feng Shouzhu’s order as they followed behind Zuo Xiangsheng .

With that, those left behind still standing besides Feng Shouzhu were only Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin’er and Tian Yanzong . Feng Shouzhu then led the trio and had a happy conversation with the high priests from various races .

However, Zhong Yue could see that the old man was just forcing himself to put up a happy expression as he intended to drag the priests from the Shan Shen and the Gui Shen celestial race so that they would not leave the Xiao Mang Celestial Race so fast .

After all, no one could tell what would happen after these people left .

Even Qiu Jin’er could sense something was wrong and she whispered, “Why didn’t Elder Feng let us head towards the Shen Ya Celestial Race to avoid the troubles? I could sense that the Xiao Mang Celestial Race is going to plan an ambush when we are on our way back . ”

Zhong Yue replied, “Hall Master Zuo could only bring those irrelevant disciples with him . Qi Feng, Lei Teng and the others were only irrelevant targets . Besides, he is the son-in-law of the high priest of the Shen Ya Celestial Race, which was an identity that the Xiao Mang Celestial Race could not ignore . ”

“However, his privilege stopped right there . The Xiao Mang Celestial Race would not sit back and they will definitely rush to kill us if we left with Hall Master Zuo . ”

Qiu Jin’er understood something immediately and she asked again, “Why did Elder Feng still promise to stay here for another few days after we got into such a bad situation? Why didn’t Elder Feng take us out quickly?”

“Elder Feng is waiting . He is waiting for the reinforcements of the Swords Gate . ”

Tian Yanzong replied softly, “The headmaster will definitely send reinforcement and I guess this person would be Elder Shui Zian . He has a good reputation and he is strong . If he reached here in time, then our chances of surviving will be raised even higher . Therefore, Elder Feng promised to stay back for a few more days so that Elder Shui Zian could reach here in time .

Qiu Jin’er said emphatically, “Such planning . Elder Feng is indeed very smart and experience to be able to think of something in such a short time . I really could not do what he can do . ”

Tian Yanzong then looked at Zhong Yue and praised, “Such an experienced way of thinking for such a young age! No wonder the headmaster passed you the sword token . Originally, you were as famous as Long Yue of the East Barren . But now, since you have opened the five great secret realms in reverse and became a top Awakening level Qi Practitioner, you have since then surpassed Long Yue by a million miles!”

Tian Yanzong couldn't help himself and he laughed loudly while Zhong Yue also laughed with him . But in his heart, he thought, I wonder what he would think of if he were to know that Long Yue and I are one and the same… .
