Spirit Vessel
chapter-964

The radiant tail feathers cut through the air like seven fiery rivers, capable of refining everything in this world.

“Pluff! Pluff!” Eighth’s limbs and head were dismembered right away. Blood gushed out from the holes.

As for Feiyun, his chest was pierced by Omnipotent. Blood dripped down the blade and fell to the ground.

Both sides wanted to kill the opponent regardless of the price.

A gale rushed over - King Zhuanlun. He landed in front of Feiyun, looking to be in a sorry state with four deep wounds. The crest on his head was cut down so his hair was a mess.

“Master, save me!” Eighth still didn’t die due to the vigorous qilin blood flowing through him. He rolled his head until it was next to the king’s feet then bit the robe.

“Useless.” King Zhuanlun uttered but still picked up the head and wiped away the blood.

Xuanyuan Yiyi landed next to Feiyun, still embracing her old sword. Immortal rays circled around her.

“You are worthy of being the successor of Aquamoon. I have experienced the power of the Heart Meditation Sword Scripture today and accept defeat. I’ll look for you again after my power is back.” King Zhuanlun gathered Eighth’s pieces and put them in a leather bag, looking quite elegant in the process.

“Senior, you have killed too many. I ask that you come with me to the shore pavilion at the Sea of Bitterness and repent for eight hundred years.” She calmly said.

“The Sea of Bitterness has no shore.” He smiled.

“Turn back and the shore is there.” She replied.

“There is only the Sea of Blood in my eyes. The Sea of Bitterness might have a shore waiting but not the Sea of Blood. Saintess, I recognize your talent, you can trample on all other geniuses as if they are dogs. You can also defeat the current me but to capture me? Keke, you’re still too young.” He shook his head.

His body became increasingly ethereal before only leaving a shadow on the ground. The shadow laughed: “We shall meet again.”

Yiyi placed her palms together and commanded her sword to perform a downward slash, successfully cutting the shadow’s heart.

Feiyun’s hair covered his face. Blood still streamed from his lips as he smiled: “It’s no use, he used Cosmic Shift just now, he’s not in Crimson Leaf anymore.”

She recalled her sword and glanced at him: “Are you alright?”

“Still alive.” Feiyun gritted his teeth while pulling Omnipotent out of his chest. More blood gushed out as a result.

He was drenched in sweat as he channeled Buddhist energy to recover the wound. It eventually disappeared.

He glared at her before leaving the mansion. He saw Ninth and tossed Omnipotent in that direction.

Meanwhile, Yiyi was wondering why she saw a barely-discernible glimpse of hatred in Feiyun’s eyes just now.

***

Feiyun thought about taking Omnipotent with him but alas, this was the symbol of the Gu. They would do anything to get the sword back.

He was wounded right now and didn’t want to risk all-out war. He decided to do them a favor instead by returning it to Ninth.

Eighth was taken away by King Zhuanlun while Ninth was now the owner of Omnipotent. The Gu would have another power struggle with no time to deal with Feiyun.

He left Everlasting and headed for the half-demon alliance.

Four seventh-ranked half-demons waited for him outside of Everlasting and numerous geniuses. It looked like they were waiting for their hero.

Nothing could be kept a secret forever. Though the territory lord gave a direct command of keeping Feiyun’s bloodline a secret, the half-demons still heard about how he defeated Eighth. This was great news for the half-demons.

In fact, he was more than a hero at this point. Calling him a “legend” was more suitable.

“Brother Feng, you’re such a badass. I found that Eighth annoying long ago but his cultivation is too strong for me. Did you break his face today?” Shi Dakai slapped Feiyun’s shoulder. His fist was larger than Feiyun’s head.

“It’s a shame that I couldn’t be there in person to watch your domination. How am I going to brag to others now?”

“Haha, they wouldn’t even believe you if you told them that you know Brother Feng.”

“Fuck off.”

***

The half-demons surrounded Feiyun and talked nonstop.

They all had weapons ready. It seemed that they were about to attack the Gu if anything were to happen to Feiyun.

The half-demon beauties gifted to him from Liu Suzi found themselves unworthy, thinking that they weren’t qualified to be his servants. A hero like Feiyun would surely become a big shot later on. Even his maids and servants would be top characters. They weren’t at that level at all.

“It’s good that you’re back.” Lord Qing Ji landed from above, still riding a lotus while being engulfed in flames.

Her eyes looked complicated as she stared at him. There seemed to be a hint of reverence.

She had heard about Feiyun’s bloodline and was shocked. She would have thought that it was ridiculous if it didn’t come from the territory lord himself.

A half-demon with a phoenix bloodline! Those from the main branch would jump from their seat as well after hearing this.

The jubilant crowd then returned to their branch.

***

Today was rather peaceful. Perhaps it was due to the territory lord’s command or that the other powers had their own qualms. No one came to the half-demon alliance for any matter. Even the Gu and the Huang didn’t retaliate.

Feiyun’s injuries became better by afternoon on the next day. Xue Shuang and Yao Ji returned as well.

“Master, congratulations. You are now the number one genius of Crimson Territory.” Xue Shuang prostrated, revealing her voluptuous breasts and sexy figure.

Feiyun stood in front of a screen with both hands behind his back. He smiled and said: “News traveled fast, but it looks like the important matters are all covered up.”

“What do you mean, Master?” Xue Shuang didn’t understand.

“It’s nothing.” Feiyun’s expression became serious. He performed the Grand Change Art to seal the room.

An invisible power sealed the area, disallowing anyone from calculating anything happening here.

“Did you make contact with the demons?” He asked.

“I have made contact with a white spider domain lord, the one in charge of Crimson Territory.” She became serious as well.

“A lord?” Feiyun narrowed his eyes and shook his head: “Xuanyuan Yiyi’s cultivation is higher than expected, even King Zhuanlun lost to her. A domain lord isn’t enough to kill her. Is there no demon king around?”

“Master, a demon king’s vitality and power are too great, the big shots from the humans will know right away. Only the domain lords can infiltrate human kingdoms, and this probability is low too. If ten come, seven will be spotted and eliminated.” She elaborated.

“I told you before, no need to prostrate before me.” He mentioned something else.

“Thank you, Master.” She had a faint smile and felt happy to hear this: “This domain lord knows just how strong Aquamoon Saintess is and will be contacting other experts. They will gather tonight to confirm our intelligence’s validity. Maybe Princess Feiyuan will come too.”

“How will they confirm?” He asked.

“They wish to meet you.” She answered.

“Impossible.” He refused because it was too risky meeting demons in a human kingdom. If found out, it would be considered traitorous and all humans would try to kill him. Moreover, the demons could use it to blackmail him as well.

He wouldn’t fall into such an obvious trap.

“Contact them again, tell them that it’s up to them to believe our information or not. The ruler isn’t mine anyway, the same with their patriarch’s legacy. I can run whenever I want, it’s just that I hate people from Aquamoon and want to help them kill that saintess. Tomorrow is the deadline. Their choice.” Feiyun said.
