Chapter 439 - Hell Sent (2/2)

He learned a very valuable lesson.

He felt aggrieved. When Lin Feilin asked for one from this stingy-cake eating monster, she was handed it without much fuss. However, when he later asked, he was given the stink eye as if he was a robber trying to steal another's wife.

What type of favouritism was that? Furthermore, wasn't he the Senior Brother, should the Junior Brother slap their senior into space? How disrespectful is that? He could only swallow his words as his Shin Feiyu merely laughed after her initial shock.

However, how could Yan Zaizen be so petty? After seeing how sullen this Senior Brother of his looked, he reluctantly offered him a single bite. Just a single bite, after all, he was kind, no?

Shin Xuanji, however, was incredibly ungrateful. He huffed and puffed and remained silent, unwilling to accept Yan Zaizen's gift. Yan Zaizen also learned a lesson, to never offer any of his cake to pouty men.

Shin Xuanji cleared his throat. It was already getting late, and he didn't want to dwell on this matter. However, he swore that he'll eat at least a thousand different cakes when Yan Zaizen wasn't around.

”Junior Brother Zai, we should talk.” His expression became serious and calm. Lin Feilin and Shin Feiyu also put aside their laughs and short talks. While they were getting along well, it was time to get back to the point of their visit.

Yan Zaizen patted his bulging belly and sighed. His eyes closed as he regained his posture, no longer losing himself in his vices. He rose and said, rubbing his belly, ”Yes. We should.”

Yan Zaizen sat down, and Shin Xuanji glanced at Shin Feiyu and Lin Feilin. Before he could speak, Yan Zaizen said, ”What happened to my clan?”

Shin Xuanji collected his thoughts and explained, ”If you want the full story, you'll have to start with the former Xiantu Emperor and his plans.”

The Xiantu Emperor? Yan Zaizen frowned, but he didn't interrupt.

”When you left all those years ago, the Xiantu Emperor's plans were already in motion. In fact, it started with the Asura Phantom Realm. I heard you went to explore it, so you should know about it.”

The Asura Phantom Realm. It was a subrealm located in the folds of space within the Xiantu Realm. When Yan Zaizen was younger, he was hired to explore it and the Asura Phantom Palace within. It was an old, nearly forgotten power that delved in soul arts. No one knew that the Palace Master had forged a two-floor Hell Altar and was seeking a revival.

Yan Zaizen had fought and killed the phantasm, an immortal soul-like spiritual existence. One had to abandon their Essence Path, Soul Source Path, and physical bodies to become such an existence. During that fight, he nearly lost his life.

Shin Xuanji continued, ”At that time, the Xiantu Emperor of that time had learned of another path of cultivation, the Infernal Forger, the Hell Altar. He became obsessed with it, retrieved the Hell Altar from the realm and seeked to restore its powers. However to do that, he needed to...venture into Hell.”

Those who cultivate the Infernal Path had to obtain the materials to do so from Hell. It was a perilous journey fraught with danger and risk. Firstly, only an existence of the soul was said to be able to enter Hell and survive. This meant creatures like Phantasms, Ghosts, or Wraiths.

”Unfortunately, it seemed he lacked the ability or courage to do so, so he scoured the Xiantu Realm for an alternative or solution. And, he found it.” Shin Xuanji's eyes focused on Yan Zaizen's.

It was that moment that Yan Zaizen understood what he meant. ”The Yan Clan…” At the time of their actions, a genius of the Yan Clan had awakened his bloodline and seemed capable of mastering, using any art or cultivating any method without risk. As someone with a body that possessed that bloodline, how could he not know?

The Law of Mimicry made each Yan Clan member adaptable to any and all methods, even if they hadn't awakened their bloodline. This meant they were also the perfect guinea pigs.

He solemnly said, ”What did he do?”

”...” Shin Xuanji and Shin Feiyu were silent with flickering emotions. Yan Zaizen was taken aback at Shin Feiyu's reaction. She was super young, yet she seemed to be invested in this. This piqued his interest.

Shin Xuanji took a deep breath and said, ”He sent them to Hell.”
