Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem In the backroom of the head of Xuantian Peak, Yun Zhongzi's face looked pale golden as he was covered with bloody mist all over. Gold sage and silver sage were flying in the air beside him and devouring the bloody mist around Yun Zhongzi's body bit by bit. Every now and then, they would devour the carps that drilled out of Yun Zhongzi's body …
Yes, they were carps, big or small vivid carps completely composed of black battle qi. They drilled out of Yun Zhongzi's chest, back, nostrils and ears from time to time and swam back to him.
If someone could perform such a magic trick on the stage, it would definitely be refreshing and win the applause of the audience. However, the scene in front of them was not a magic trick; instead, it looked creepy.
Yun Zhongzi's body seemed to have become a carp's nest. Each time a carp drilled out of his body, Yun Zhongzi would faintly frown as if he was suffering a great pain. Meanwhile, the bloody smell around Yun Zhongzi's body would become more intense.
Yan Feiqing was sitting in the air opposite Yun Zhongzi with crossed legs. There was a fist-sized bloody bead in Yan Feiqing's hand. Holding that bloody bead, Yan Feiqing injected her spiritual energy into it. Closely after that, a wisp of bloody mist drifted out of the bead and drilled into Yun Zhongzi's skull.
After taking a closer look, Zhang Tie found that the size of the bloody bead in Yan Feiqing's hand was shrinking rapidly.
At this moment, many bloody carps drilled out of Yun Zhongzi's body; at the same time, that bloody bead was injecting bizarre energy into Yun Zhongzi's body. The two factors seemed to be maintaining a balance between consumption and replenishment …
After 1 hour, the bloody mist around Yun Zhongzi's body gradually thinned and dissipated. No more carps drilled out of Yun Zhongzi's body anymore. At the same time, the bloody mist over the bead in Yan Feiqing's hand also stopped.
"Puh …" Yun Zhongzi opened his mouth as he spurted out a mouthful of black blood, which sprayed onto the ground of the backroom like an arrow, causing numerous holes on the ground with sizzling sounds. The black blood could even corrode stones.
"I want to leave Iron-Dragon Sect …" Yun Zhongzi panted as he wiped his mouth corners. Although he was still a bit weak, he could already speak, "I feel that the wounds left by Meng Shidao are unusual. His battle qi could constantly breed like a poison. Additionally, I feel that his battle qi is fluctuating in a bizarre way these days. He might have sensed that I'm here. If I'm discovered by them, Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace would be implicated …"
"Two hours ago, the chief justice of the Supreme Court had already arrived at Iron-Dragon Sect with a group of imperial censors and indicated that they were going to hunt senior in Xuantian Peak. Knights of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion and Qionglou Pavilion have already converged at the border of Youzhou Province. They've already known that senior is hiding in Iron-Dragon Sect and have even located your location …" Yan Feiqing said calmly as she put away the bloody bead in her hand. "Senior, you're right. The wounds left by Meng Shidao could indeed help Meng Shidao locate senior!"
Yun Zhongzi changed his face at once as he sprung up and said resolutely, "I will leave right now …"
"The people of the Supreme Court have already been sent away. They won't come here for the time being!" Yan Feiqing said calmly, "Additionally, forebear, you should never leave Iron-Dragon Sect at this moment. Forebear, given Meng Shidao and Taiyi Old Man's shrewdness, now that they know that forebear is hiding in the backroom of Xuantian Peak and could locate forebear's trace at any time, how could they not guess that forebear would leave through the secret tunnel if the people of Supreme Court came to hunt you in the public?" Yan Feiqing let out a sigh as she continued, "If I'm not mistaken, at least two of Meng Shidao, Taiyi Old Man and Shenkong Old Man have already arrived at Iron-Dragon City. They might be waiting for senior to leave the mountain gate of Iron-Dragon Sect through the secret tunnel so as to kill senior. As long as senior died, the three major sects would be more fearless about Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect. They must have more tricks up their sleeves. The Supreme Court is just a pawn that they want to use to force senior to leave Iron-Dragon Sect …" Yun Zhongzi was not stupid.
After hearing Yan Feiqing's words, Yun Zhongzi had understood that Yan Feiqing's judgment was correct at once. Meanwhile, he understood the current situation — — if he didn't leave, the three major sects and Meng Shidao could only use the Supreme Court as a pawn. As long as the Supreme Court found that he was hiding in Iron-Dragon Sect, the three major sects and some people in Xuanyuan Hill would seize the opportunity to launch an attack on him and Jinwu Palace at the same time. If he left Iron-Dragon Sect, given his current situation, as long as his trace was locked by others, Meng Shidao and Taiyi Old Man were confident to kill him.
However, at this moment, even though Taiyi Old Man and Meng Shidao knew that Zhang Tie was hiding in Iron-Dragon Sect, they dared not launch an attack on him in the public. Because Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace were not ordinary major sects; instead, they were related to the imperial households of Taixia Country by marriage. They were closely related to all aspects of Taixia Country and had profound power. If the three major sects and Meng Shidao directly launched an attack on Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace, as long as Zhang Tie determined to explode himself, he would be killed in a split second. By then, they would not be able to get any evidence. By then, the nature of this event would change. If the three major sects and Meng Shidao dared attack Iron-Dragon Sect and Jinwu Palace in the public and arouse civil strife across Taixia Country, it would be a real felony and taboo. The three major sects and Meng Shidao couldn't bear the consequence. Therefore, they could only let the Supreme Court take the lead.
As for the three major sects and Meng Shidao, Zhang Tie was already a turtle in a jar. There were only two outcomes for this event, namely, he would be killed by them after leaving Iron-Dragon Sect and they would continue to deal with Jinwu Palace or he would die together with Jinwu Palace …
After thinking through all these, Yun Zhongzi closed his eyes with a calm look. After a long while, he opened his eyes. Although his voice was still a bit weak, it was pretty calm. Yun Zhongzi let out a sigh as he said, "As the saying goes, one miscalculation leads to miscalculation at every step. I've not imagined that Meng Shidao has already promoted to a sage-level knight and cooperated with the three major sects. As a result, Jinwu Palace is involved with you and you're in such a dilemma!"
"Senior, please don't say that. Meng Shidao has promoted to a sage-level knight and cooperated with the three major sects. Not only senior, who else in the world could predict that you were taken advantage of? It's not senior's fault. Human strength is limited. Senior, don't worry about it!"
"Previously, I was just a wandering ghost of Great Wilderness Sect. Actually, my life doesn't matter now. Great Wilderness Sect could continue to exist. I've already fulfilled the greater part of my wish. Over these years, I've killed enough knights of the three major sects. Even if I die now, I don't have too much regret!" After saying that, Yun Zhongzi reached out his hand and stroked Gold Sage and Silver Sage who were flying beside him, saying, "As the seals between Gold Sage and Silver Sage and head haven't disappeared, it means that head hasn't died. Head will come back one day. Even if I die, as long as Jinwu Palace could survive a few days, it would definitely rise again. I have a feeling that head would definitely be much more powerful than before after coming back. He would definitely be able to clean up all the evils in the three top sects and avenge Great Wilderness Sect and me so as to restore a sunny day to Taixia Country. I'm not afraid of death at all. However, before I die, Jinwu Palace could chop off the claws of Jinwu Palace at the cost of my life. In that case, my death would be worthwhile!"
At this moment, Yun Zhongzi was not afraid of death at all; instead, he was thinking about how to maximize the value of his life before he died.
"Over these years, if senior didn't restrict the three major sects and the two sage-level knights on one side, how could Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect develop to such a scale smoothly? Although senior is an elder of Great Wilderness Sect, actually, all the members of Jinwu Palace have treated senior as an elder of Jinwu Palace over the past dozens of years, not to mention the relationship between senior and my husband. Those juniors of Jinwu Palace have also been guided and taken care of by senior. They completely treat senior as their master and grandpa. This time, Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect would never let senior die in the hands of the three major sects and Meng Shidao. If senior died in this way, how could the descendants of Jinwu Palace stand firm in Taixia Country?"
"But if so, wouldn't I drag Jinwu Palace down with me …"
"The three major sects have long wanted to exterminate Jinwu Palace. Even if senior didn't do this, Jinwu Palace and the three major sects have long been incompatible like water and fire. Additionally, senior, do you think that Meng Shidao and the three major sects only want to deal with senior and Jinwu Palace?"
Yun Zhongzi frowned as he asked, "What do you mean?"
If they want to play tricks, our Jinwu Palace is not afraid of anyone. Senior, just take a rest here. Don't worry about it. Even the chief justice of Taixia Country couldn't come and go as you like. Heavens Fortune Sect said that there would be a favorable turn in a few days. Let's wait and see what the favorable turn is. If not, even the crown prince of Taixia Country could be assassinated and killed by demons, it's not a big deal even if a chief justice of Taixia Country who leaves Xuanyuan Hill is killed by demon powerhouses … "Yan Feiqing said as her face turned a bit cold …
Half an hour later, Wu Dingtian, the head of Demons-kill Valley, had arrived at Iron-Dragon Sect alone. He said that Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks of Iron-Dragon Sect had beautiful winter scenery and the best rime ice landscape in Youzhou Province. He wanted to stay in Iron-Dragon Sect for a few days …
It was only August. He had to wait for at least 4 months to see the rime ice.
Only after a few hours, the news that the chief justice of Taixia Country suddenly came to Iron-Dragon Sect to hunt for Yun Zhongzi had spread across Taixia Country, arousing great shock across the country. In a split second, all the people across Taixia Country focused on Iron-Dragon City in Youzhou Province …
