Chapter 1129: Different Paths

Yan Xing Deity King looked askance at the old turtle and shook his head, “King Xiang, our paths have determined that we will not get along, you and I are, after all, walking towards different paths. I may be on bad terms with Dark Monarch, having been sealed away by him for so many years, but we are on the same path. As for you, you are just an unpleasant guest, one that will only dirty the waters. I fear that you are asking too much by trying to convince me to join you.”

That old turtle grinned and swam away slowly, diving deep into the water before mocking, “A masochist you are, enjoying being beaten up!”

Yan Xing Deity King then shifted his vision towards Dark Monarch’s Dao Palace with wariness in his eyes. Another voice then laughed out, “Patience, patience is what you need right now, Brother Yan Xing. Dark Monarch is on his life-or-death closed door cultivation right now, trying to shed off the past body. This is not the best time for you to take revenge. Just so you know, with his strength right now, sealing you away would be just as easy as flipping his palm.”

“Evil Monarch?”

Yan Xing Deity King’s furry ears stood up and he cautiously said, “Where are you? Show yourself!”

“In the ancient universe, I’m talking to you right now, all the way from the ancient universe.”

Innate Evil Monarch’s voice said again, “I lost a bet against Dark Monarch, forced to give him my word that I will never enter Zi Wei again. Speaking of which, it seems that you and I have something in common, it would be wiser for us to work together. Once Dark Monarch sheds his past body off, we will strike right away. You will let him know how powerful you are and I will have my revenge!”

Yan Xing Deity King smirked, “Evil Monarch, working with you is just like working with the tiger, if I let my guard down, even for just a second, I risk being eaten wholly by you. You too, are not a good thing as well! You may be restricted from entering Zi Wei because of your promise with him. And what does that have to do with me? You have no right to talk about teaming up with me if you can’t even enter Zi Wei!”

Hearing this, even Evil Monarch got furious and rebutted, “You fool, you had it all coming! People always learn from their mistakes, but you, after being sealed away for such a long time, you’ve learned nothing! Your brain is still that rusty brain!”

His voice faded slowly under Yan Xing Deity King’s smirk and another voice sounded, “Hmmm… if Yan Xing Deity King rejected Evil Monarch and King Xiang, then how about working with me?”

“Yuan Ya!”

Yan Xing Deity King turned around and stared into the eyes of the approaching Yuan Ya Deity King, saying coldly, “You attacked me when I broke free, injured me with a strike and you dare to come to me right now?”

Yuan Ya Deity King however, continued speaking politely, “What? So you did not attack me back in the years? This is all just an eye for an eye, if you can’t swallow it, then hit me, I will not fight back, you have my word.”

Without hesitation, Yan Xing Deity King swung a punch towards Yuan Ya Deity King, who just stood still and did nothing about the incoming attack. He took it directly and even with his absurdly powerful cultivation level, his bones broke and he coughed out blood.

This shocked even Yan Xing Deity King himself and his unhappiness dispersed quickly, “Heh, in the end, you are the most honest one among them. Fine, if that’s the case, I will team up with you.”

With a smile, Yuan Ya Deity King walked closer to Yan Xing Deity King and whispered, “Senior martial brother, you’ve been away for too long so let me tell you this, Great Si Ming is back!”

The expression on Yan Xing Deity King’s face froze up in an instant, his face turned pale and he shouted, “Back to life? Impossible! We sent him to death back then! How is he alive again!”

Yuan Ya grabbed Yan Xing Deity King’s hand, left with him and continued, “Which is why I’m here to ask for your help. Don’t worry, I have precautions readied so Great Si Ming will not be too much of a problem. However, I will need your help in pulling it off. As for Dark Monarch, we can leave him aside first and return when he is about to shed the past body. Now, let’s talk about what we need to do on the way back. You missed a lot of the fun when you were away, when Dao Venerate Fu Min passed away….”

…

In the Heavenly Fire Barren Region.

Softly, Feng Yuhuan explained what she had experienced to Feng Tian Origin Lord, told her how she captured Zhong Yue before being captured by Zhuo Ya and brought back to the Innate Dao Mountain later on.

She recounted, in full detail, Zhong Yue’s massacre and continued, “I fell into King Yi’s trap and was forced to give him my word. Shen Xiage and Xie Yang were also compelled to fulfill his demands. In the end, when Shen Xiage attacked him, a powerful attack descended from the skies and with a power so great, Shen Xiage was destroyed in body and soul. That attack’s strength was so powerful that even I froze up when it happened, all I could do is run and with the vow still in effect, I will no longer be able to do anything to King Yi.”

“An attack from the skies?” repeated Feng Tian Origin Lord in surprise.

Feng Yuhuan then started visualizing and created the images of the situation again.

Upon seeing what was shown to her by Feng Yuhuan, Feng Tian Origin Lord’s face changed and she grinned, “Heaven’s hand is extending way too far! This is not an attack from the skies but a Heavenly Dao’s attack! What you swore the vow at was not King Yi’s Dao but the Heavenly Dao itself! This means that you swore a vow to Heaven and if you go against what you swore, you will be punished, by Heaven!”

Terrorized by the news, Feng Yuhuan lost her cool right away and Feng Tian Origin Lord comforted her by saying, “Worry not, this type of vow is not a problem to monarchs, which means it is not a problem to me as well. I will help you to remove this curse and free you from your worries. This so-called Heaven is nothing more than a child to me.”

Feng Tian Origin Lord reached out her beautiful hands, pointed at Feng Yuhuan’s forehead and started moving around, immediately, Feng Yuhuan felt abnormal movements in her soul. Seconds later, she saw Feng Tian Origin Lord extracting a strange looking mark from her soul, which was exactly the mark that appeared when she swore the vow towards the Dao’s marking created by Zhong Yue!

“This is the Heavenly Dao’s marking when you swore the vow, it is connected to your soul.”

Feng Tian Origin Lord smiled, “As long as I erase this marking, the vow will be shattered.”
