Chapter 134 - The Chaos
Chapter 134 The Chaos
The frightened birds scattered in all directions. A little soldiers walked to Wuyou upon hearing the birds’ scream. Wuyou waited quietly. As long as the soldier came closer to her, she could seize him with a move. But to her suprise, the soldier was so well-trained that he withdraw after several steps forward. Wuyou thrust a palm at the right time, and then, the soldier was dragged to a dark place by Spirit Power.
“Save…” The little soldier was about to open his mouth, but choked down by Spirit Power.
“Where is Hongjun?” Wuyou wringed, and the little soldier struggled to free from Wuyou’s constrain with great pain on his chest.
“Don’t… know…” Spirit Power became stronger, and blood oozed out of the soldier’s mouth.
“Where is Hongjun?” Her voice was deadly gruesome. Wuyou had run out of her patience, and it scared the soldiers shrank into himself.
“Zhaochun Hall.” What use would the soldier have? Wuyou flung a palm, and then the Impure Essence soldier turned into ashes. Wuyou would not be soft-hearted to the enemy. Kunlun was benevolent to the three realms, but was almost ruined in the end.
Wuyou changed herself into a little soldier and slipped into the palace. Hongjun’s Zhaochun Hall was situated in the east of the palace. Wuyou leapt to the beam secretly and did not jumped down until the patrolling soldiers dispersed. But just with some steps forward, noice spread from the back yard. Wuyou hurried to hide herself in the darkness. Soldiers stood on the sides. Figures walked to the Zhaochun Hall. Wuyou followed him and saw clearly who he was at the gate. The one in black brocade robe was Xiao Qi, and Wuyou had expected that she would come across him. And the other one in grey robe looked familiar, but Wuyou could not remember who he was. After the two person entered the Zhaochun Hall, Wuyou secretly entered it as well. The one on the main seat was lying on his side. Xiao Qi came to him and murmured, and then the person raised his head. In the candlelight, Wuyou could see clearly that the person was nobody but Hongjun, and the one who followed Xiao Qi to enter the Hall was master Yan that Wuyou had seen in the martial-arts arena. To her surprise, Young Master Yan was so shrewd that he dared to plot Hongjun secretly while pretending to be attentive superficially. Hongjun just laid there with a pale look. It seemed that Hongjun had not recovered completely.
“Emperor Yan gave a gift, hoping Master Hong will accept it kindly.”
Yan Bo took the Spiritual Stone from his arms. The Spiritual Stone looked familiar. Wasn’t it the Lingchong that revived Black Emperor? Where could Yan Bo get it? Wuyou wanted to find out why. Hongjun looked at it carefully. It was not a common Spiritual Stone, but the Hun Kun’s Energy Stone. Hongjun and Hun Kun were of the same origin, and both of them cultivated Black Qi. Hongjun cultivated with Air of Chaos, while Hun Kun cultivated with Black Qi of the Earth and Heaven. In the past, Hun Kun was one of the disciples of Original Spirit of the Creation. He had a high aptitude, and was able to finish his apprenticeship and set up his own sect. However, Hongjun was not so clever, and was looked down upon by the Original Spirit. In a fit of bad temper, Hongjun ran to the Chaos and cultivated painstakingly so that he could achieve what he could now. When Hongjun came out of the Chaos and wanted to test himself in front of the Mentor, his Mentor had been reincarnated already. And outside the Chaos, there had been new influence. Pangu family rose sharply and accumulated tens of thousands of year’s wisdom to write the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book. Black Emperor stole the Heavenly Book to create the world for all the living creatures. From then on, the three realms sprang up like a rising sun, while the Chaos was near its end. Hongjun slept in the Impure Essence Qi and his army was also stagnant. But for the raging wars in the three realms, Hongjun could not have waken up. However, the Spiritual Stone was founded by a mortal. Hongjun looked at the stone carefully, hoping that it was Hun Kun’s spinel. Yan Bo was a bit diffident, because it was a tribute paid by the village head. Hun Kun meant nothing to Yan Bo, and he also did not whether the spinel was real or not. All he wanted was to use the spinel to feel out Hongjun’s mind. And then, it turned out that the spinel meant a lot to Hongjun. Yan Bo thought the village head was not a simple person, since he could coax Hongjun, such a sophisticated person. The reason why Yan Bo came there was to test the water. Hongjun wantedto changed the human world to his own hoard for soldiers. His purpose was rather clear. In the corner, Wuyou was more worried about her husband’s whereabouts. It was pretty sure that Hongjun took her husband away. Otherwise, the person would not come to Kunlun at their wedding ceremony. Her husband’s disappearance was also linked with Xiao Qi. At the thought that Xiao Qi conspired with Hongjun to take her husband away, Wuyou was desperate to tear Xiao Qi to shreds. But it was not the time for her to act on impulse. She still did not know where her husband was. So she needed to fing her Linghe first. Wuyou suppressed her fury. Hongjun on the main seat just appreciated the spinel and suddenly had a completely new appraisal to Yan Bo. How loyal Yan Bo would be since he was willing to submit Hun Kun’s spinel to him. The common people just knew how formidable the Heavenly Book was, but did not know Hun Kun was also a treasure. The Black Spiritual Qi was the royal stone for cultivators, because it was able to take in the Essence Qi of all the living creatures. To be more powerful, it was a must to find out the spinel in Hun Kun’s Essence Spirit, but it was not an easy job. Hun Kun had been died for tens of thousands of years. To get the spinel was like dredging for a needle in the sea. Well, it was not the Heavenly Book’s opponent. Hongjun wanted to possess the two so that no one could control him. Yan Bo had been noticing the person beside Hongjun and found that the person had a deep thought and mind. The person did show greed to the spinel, but he could hide it instantly. Apparently, the person was not just shrewd, but could control his emotions. And he could be called the real counsellor. Hongjun behaved like a common person at the sight of the spinel, while the person beside Hongjun was totally different. Yan Bao wanted to make friends with him, but Xiao Di did not take him seriously. Xiao Qi knew well that any flattery would come with a request. Yan Bo was just a mortal and did not know the dark surging wave under the three realms. If the weak did not rely on the strong, the weak would be engulfed helplessly. Xiao Qi broke up with the three parts, so he had no other choice but to follow Hongjun. It was Xiao Qi’s own choice with no leeway. If Xiao Qi had not fallen in love with Xiaoyao, he could have had a peaceful life lightly. But he could not go back to the past, and he and Wuyou became enemies’ fianlly. At the thought of enemy, Xiao Qi could still feel his heart was being torn apart.
“I know Emperor Yan’s intent, but the Impure Essence army needs some days to rectify.”
Hongjun lay on the side, and his fingers pressed his chest. It was still hurting. Hongjun thought he would fix that fox spirit sooner or later. Xiao Qi handed the Spiritual Dose hurriedly, which was the Pill refined by the Chaos’ Qi. It could repress the pain temporarily but not heal the wound completely. If he wanted to recover better, he needed to go to the Chaos. But Hongjun was unwilling to do so, because he was engaged in so many affairs and could not spare time to go there. The Ninth-level Heaven cast a greedy eye on him, and the fox spirit would not spare him for sure. But luckily, the fox spirit’s husband was in Hongjun’s hands. Hongjun raised his head and swallowed the Pill. Xiao Qi patted his master’s back. Hongjun narrowed his eyes with satisfaction. Yan Bo thought since the Impure Essence army would be rectified, who came to fill the vacancy. Di Qing’s army was in high morale, so it was impossible to rely on Madam Yu’s army. Yan Bo did not want Hongjun to put a hand in, but he did not have that power. So Yan Bo had no choice but to swallow insult and humiliation silently, and to agree with the unreasonable requests. Hongjun knew well that Yan army was in great need of help, so he took advantage of it. Yan Shen had to make compromised again and again. At last, Hongjun was insatiably avaricious. Yan Bo wanted to break the situation, but still had to rely on Hongjun. This was Yan army’s helpless condition. Hongjun knew Yan army’s weak point and forced them to obey his orders obediently.
“Di army is pressing hard at the border. Your Excellency, would it be improper to rectify the army?”
Yan Bo spoke of the weak point. Hongjun was compelling Yan army and forcing Yan Shen to hand over the military power and the Jin City. And then, the human world would belong to Hongjun justifiably. No matter how unwilling Yan Bo was, he was still helpless, because he was too weak. In the world where the big fish ate up the small ones, the weak did not have the right of speech.
“It will not be late if you change the Hun Kun’s Divine Essence spinel with me…” Since it was known to all that Hun Kun had been dead for 20,000 years, Hongjun asked Yan Bo for the Divine Essence Spinel. The excuse was reasonable. Yan Bo was lost for words at that moment, It seemed that there was no space for manoeuvers. Yan Bo was a little depressed, because he had planned to present the spinel for benefits, but it came to such a result. Yan Bo paid a salute to the man on the main seat and retreated. Xiao Qi was always serving Hongjun beside, showing no mercy to what had happened to Yan Bo. In fact, Xiao Qi had the same fate the Yan Bo, but the difference between them was that Xiao Qi did not try to play any trick any more. What the eyes could see was not always true. Yan Bo thought Hongjun wanted Hun Kun’s spinel. But if Hongjun did like it, why did he bother himself to thrash Kunlun? Even if he set himself against Kunlun, he still wanted the Heavenly Book. All the people knew its secret that the Heavenly Book had limitless power and it was Hongjun’s terrible rival. For Hongjun, it was a must to destroy the Heavenly Book in order to seek hegemony, however, he did not have that strenght. Nowadays, Xiaoyao was the real king of the three realms.
“Your Excellecy, you’re really brilliant. It is only a matter of time for Emperor Yan to make a concession.”
“It doesn’t matter whether the spinel is true or not, as long as we can achieve our purpose. He tries to feel me out? Well, just have a try. He thinks he is clever. Far away from Yan Shen…”
“Yan Bo knows to pin down you with the spinel. Whose idea? How could he know about Hun Kun? It seemed that Yan Bo gets advice from an expert behind him.”
“Who… will the expert be my Senior Brothers or Junior Sisters?” Hongjun pondered and felt unhappy at the thought of his fellow disciples.
“I always want to ask why you picked me up.”
“Well, you should ask yourself. We are the men of the same line. But you’re more forbearing.”
“Where is Xu Linghe?” Xiao Qi’s question hung up Wuyou’s heart.
“In the Chaos.”
Xiao Qi was surprised and found that Hongjun was really a vicious man of the same line. Wuyou heard nothing but “the Chaos”. How could Hongjun imprison her husband in such a desolated place. Wuyou felt her heart broken. What a disgusting Hongjun! “If my husband suffers any least pain, I will burn your lair,” Wuyou thought.
“The Chaos is good…”
Both of them were quite clear that the Chaos was called the Place of Evils. It was impossible for Xu Linghe to come back alive. “Hongjun does read my mind!” Xiao Qi thought and smiled, since he wanted nothing but Xiaoyao’s broken heart.
Wuyou’s husband was thrown into the Chaos, and Hongjun was needed to lead the way. Wuyou condensed Spirit Power and enwrapped the whole Zhaochun Hall. The people in it was suppressed by mighty Spirit Power. No one could expect that the Spirit Power came from the woman. Anger was burning. Wuyou hid herself in the dark. Only Hongjun knew the entrance of the Chaos. Covered by Spirit Power, the entire Zhaochun Hall shook, and even Hongjun could not pick himself up. Xiao Qi tried to gather Spirit Power to protect Hongjun. But restrained by the mighty Spirit Power, he could not move, and his chest was pressed so hard that he could not breathe. Beams were blown off by strong wind, and rolling tiles fell. Hongjun was stricken by the mighty Spirit Power. Huge stone pillars charged at him, and it was too late to dodge them. The stone pillar hit Hongjun out of the hall. Xiao Qi flew out to catch him, but he was still late. Hongjun’s old wound was torn off, and his Impure Essence Qi scattered. His breath became weak. Wuyou spread her Spirit Power and hid herself in the corner. Without the Hongjun Crossbow, he was not a match at all. Hongjun fell on the ground and picked himself up with Xiao Qi’s support. Hongjun’s face was dreadfully pale. Xiao Qi was afraid that the master would be annihilated. But Wuyou would not kill him, instead, she would keep him and torture him inch by inch. Whosoever dared to hurt Wuyou’s people would be played to death.
“Go… go to the Chaos.”
Hongjun gasped for air. Xiao Qi lifted up his master to the clouds. Wuyou followed them closely. When they arrived at the Chaos, Wuyou was more worried about her husband. It was overcast in front and black in the sky. It was Impure Essence vulture which specifically ate living creatures. Wuyou spread her Spirit Power and protect herself. The strange bird was thirst for blood. Wuyou swept her Spirit Power out, and turned the birds into ashes. The bird in the lead screamed, and then strange birds flocked in the sky. With the order of the leading bird, they pounced at Wuyou with thunderbolt momentum. Ancient Spirit made the spirit net for Wuyou. However, the strange bird did not die but just barged around. It broke through the defensive cover with blood spattering. However, the birds on the way shared the bird’s blood. At that moment, the world was still. With the tearing sound of skin and flesh, those strange vultures pounced again. Spirit net seperated the birds’ attacks. Those birds preyed on others. Wuyou’s heart shivered at the sight. The Impure Essence robbed everything’s nature. To survive in the Chaos, all the living creatures had to be more bloody.
