Chapter 65: Fragrance Of Tree Peony

Translator: NinetalesEditor: Fish Creek

”Crap, my fourth-ranking official seal!” Qin Feiyue's expression changed hugely as he immediately searched his waist. The fourth-ranking official seal was gone, causing cold sweats to roll down his forehead!

It was a big deal, losing the official seal. However, since he was the disciple of Imperial Preceptor, he could still keep it under wraps. What made him more terrified was that he didn't notice when the crippled man stole his official seal. What if the crippled man didn't steal his official seal and instead, stabbed his heart from behind…

He shivered uncontrollably at the thought.

Seventh young master's face turned red with embarrassment as he hugged his own chest and ordered numerous palace maids to surround him so no one could pass through.

When Cripple pickpocketed a few treasures from 'him', he only discovered that 'he' was a female when he stole 'his' feminine garment.

Cripple considered touching women a taboo for when he steals. Which was why there was an opening, and why Qin Feiyue had the chance to attack him, giving him only the opportunity to run away.

”This crippled man was the thief god that sneaked into the Imperial Palace to steal the Emperor's Disk - the Heaven Pilfering Thief!”

Qin Feiyue suppressed the shock in his heart. Seeing that the seventh young master was fine, he let out a sigh of relief, ”Y...young Master must have been shocked. Because of my inability…”

Gu Linuan who was in the mysterious ice was even more shocked. The crippled man actually managed to steal the Junior Protector Sword's sheath from his body!

Not only that, the black banner in his other hand was also stolen by the crippled man!

Being sealed in the mysterious ice, he knew how hard and cold the mysterious ice was. Even a great expert like him was frozen and had no ability to escape. When Qin Mu swindled him of his sword, he also depleted all his vital qi just to send the Junior Protector Sword out of the mysterious ice.

However, this crippled man just disregarded the mysterious ice and touched it gently. It was like the hands of a ghost that easily swiped his black banner and sword sheath away!

”Lord Gu, this crippled man had ventured into the Imperial Palace back in the days and entered the empire's treasury in front of the countless number of strong practitioners. There were countless traps in the empire's treasury but they were all useless. He still managed to steal the Emperor's Disk and nobody was able to stop him.”

Qin Feiyue said, ”Luckily, Imperial Preceptor intercepted him and managed to cut down one of his divine legs. Even so, Imperial Preceptor wasn't able to stop him from leaving with the Emperor's Disk. He ended up vanishing without a trace.”

Gu Linuan was dumbstruck. Only after some time did he asked, ”With a leg missing, he still managed to vanish without a trace? Was this achieved because of his divine legs or his divine hands?”

uddenly, the cry of a giant beast echoed from the front of the ship. Qin Feiyue was astonished and immediately ran to the head of the ship. His pupils contracted uncontrollably as he saw a spider web erected in front of the ship, locking several miles of the river in place!

The giant beast, which was pulling the ship, had collided with the spider web and was unable to free itself no matter how much it struggled. The river then split apart and an enormous spider slowly crawled out from under the river, dragging the giant beast onto the spider web. It then spewed out web continuously before sinking its teeth into the giant beast's body.

Even when numerous soldiers used qi to manipulate swords and to summon divine arts, they weren't able to force the enormous spider to retreat. Even the spider web couldn't be cut down!

Very soon, the giant beast shriveled and only a layer of skin was left.

Qin Feiyue's body trembled. Even the hand that was holding onto the treasure sword was trembling. He wanted to hack the enormous spider to death but he didn't dare to move.

He saw an apothecary in green as he carried a herb basket on the shore. He looked very ordinary but his face had changed beyond recognition and looked very sinister.

Apothecary waved his hand and the enormous spider on the river started to retracing its web. It then followed a thread and crawled back to the Apothecary while shrinking smaller. It then became a small dot that tunneled into the apothecary's herb basket.

Without the spider web blocking it, the ship began to float downstream again. Qin Feiyue then faintly heard a voice beside his ear, ”Tell Imperial Preceptor to drop any inappropriate thought on touching the Great Ruins. Be careful not to provoke us disabled elderly…”

Surrounded by the mysterious ice, Gu Linuan's voice trembled, ”It's the Poison King…”

Qin Feiyue also suppressed the pounding of his heart and composed himself, ”All soldiers, listen to my command, raise the oars and return to Eternal Peace!”

After sailing a mile forwards, a soldier suddenly shouted with a trembling voice, ”General Qin, there's a man on the river!”

Qin Feiyue gritted his teeth, his face turning charcoal black, ”Which demon dares to block my ship? Do they really think I'm easy to bully? Knock him to death…”

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly noticed that the man on the river only had his upper body. It wasn't known who had chopped off the lower half of his body.

The weird man was wielding two huge and weird knives as he stood still on the reef.

Suddenly, the knife light tore apart the sky and shook the world. Qin Feiyue looked upwards and saw the clouds being split apart by the knife pressure!

The knife light landed and cut down towards the ship!

Whoosh—

The water of Surging River halved, becoming two rivers with one slash!
