Chapter 359: The Way Back
“Hand over the Azure Spirit Vessel!” The Evil Woman coolly stood on a broken wall while coldly staring at Feng Feiyun.
He suddenly felt a murderous intent and got goosebumps. He coughed and asked: “Your Excellency, what did you say?”
“Do you think I’m so gullible? If you don’t hand it over, I’ll have to take it myself by force.” She drifted down and extended her fingers that contained an unstoppable might. It tore apart the air with five different waves crashing down on Feiyun.
This claw could tear his body into pieces. She knew that he was tricking her, so she shall rip him into pieces for the vessel.
“Boom!” Suddenly, a white wisp came out of her body. A figure condensed on top of her, so the claw dissipated right away.
She fell to the ground while being covered in a white glow. The corpse palace suddenly appeared on her forehead and continued to jump while giving off a sacred and flawless aura.
The murderous intent earlier made Wang Meng tremble. He asked: “Uncle, why did she stop?”
A crimson fire emerged in Feiyun’s eyes as he answered: “I see, so the true body and good corpse are suppressed inside the Evil Woman’s body. They have gone on the offensive to stop her, else she would have killed me.”
“What do you mean? Good corpse? True body?” Wang Meng was completely puzzled.
“You don’t need to know, but we need to run while she’s dealing with them!”
After the fight on Mount Banda, both the good corpse and true body disappeared. Feiyun assumed that they retreated due to injuries, he didn’t expect them to fuse together. No, it wasn’t a complete fusion. They were simply sharing the same body right now.
Both the good corpse and true body still existed, but the Evil Woman’s will had the upper hand.
This was the reason why Feiyun was able to keep his life just now.

Half a month later.
Grand Southern Prefecture, Brilliant County. This was not far from the Wanxiang Pagoda.
The majority of the twenty-eight counties in the prefecture have been invaded by Corpse Evils. Only a few were still fine and well, including Brilliant.
Many cultivators and mortal merchants have taken refuge here to avoid the corpses while seeking the pagoda’s protection.
They heard many things along the way, such as all the strange events at Trinity.
“The contest between the Senluo Temple and Wanxiang Pagoda has ended. The lords from the temple returned in defeat.”
“They lost a lot of face this time. The pretty demonesses were all captured and sold at the Yin Gou Ward’s auction. This has never happened before.”
“Some prodigies from the pagoda became quite famous this time. Yan Ziyu has entered the ninth level of the Immeasurable Tower to become a grand historical genius. His battle prowess is comparable to the eight older ones.”
“Princess Luofu has left her name on the sacred tablet, so she has become a grand historical genius as well. Her cultivation soared in addition to her gaining the providence of the tablet. Maybe she’ll become the main character of this generation and overshadow her peers.”
“I heard Scholar Heaven Calculating will make a new grand historical list. Both Yan Ziyu and the princess will be on it.”
“Ji Feng is another incredible talent. Although he isn’t at the grand historical level, he can definitely keep up with them in a fight.”
It has been more than half a year since the competition for the pagoda’s hundred’s list, but so many things have happened that it exceeded everyone’s imagination. One genius after another rose like the sun and illuminated the world.
Of course, Feng Feiyun was the most debated topic. Everyone had a different opinion of him.
“The demon’s son has crazy talents. After defeating Nalan Hongtao at the same level, he’s probably the number one genius in the dynasty and the only one who can compete against Princess Luofu.”
“He’s also the successor of the Divine King, so he might take that position one day. I’m sure the old men in the royal family wouldn’t let someone so talented be the princess’ rival. Maybe they will make the two work together and create an eternal dynasty.”
“That makes sense. The ancestors of the imperial family are very wily with great vision. Maybe they are already planning for a marriage between the two. If they marry each other, who will be able to touch the royal family’s position several decades later?”
“It won’t be that easy. Both the princess and Feng Feiyun’s names have been added to the Supreme Fate Ending Peak. Many powers are placing a bounty on their heads to not let them grow up in time.”
