Chapter 402: Evil Intentions
Seven days later at the Celestial Paradise.
The auspicious atmosphere had returned to this place. Even the collapsed peaks have been rebuilt by someone with an amazing technique. Spirit springs gave birth to trees of different colors - purple, green red…
Bells could be occasionally heard again among the ninety-nine peaks. Huge beasts were flying in the clouds and issued their wild roars. Handsome cultivators rode their swords into the sky. Some old men with gray hair and beard came with their cranes.
In just seven days, the smoke-filled battlefield had turned into a scene of immortals.
A proverb fits this situation perfectly: Small a mountain may be, with an immortal it shall be famous. Shallow a river may be, with a dragon it shall be glorious.
The appearance of an Enlightened Being was enough to turn the Celestial Paradise into a true holy land for cultivation. Due to the spirit vein underground, the energy here grew thicker by the days.
The central peak was even more magnificent with many jewel-carved palaces. They have been built recently in a majestic and imposing style.
In the last several days, virtually all famous cultivators in the Grand Southern Prefecture came to pay their respect to the Enlightened Being. This place became quite lively as a result.
Meanwhile, the big shots who wanted to take advantage of the situation a few days ago lost all and more. They were frightened by the Enlightened Being and had to join the Feng. For example, the Qin Clan, First Heaven Gate, Violetcloud Cave, and Grand Development Gate…
The ten closest powers became tributaries of the Feng after the threat of Feng Mo.
Some of these powers had Giants. The Qin had two ancestors at the Giant level. The Grand Development Gate had one and First Heaven had one as well.
Alas, these Giants didn’t dare to resist at all. On the second day when the Enlightened Being came out, all voluntarily ran here and prostrated before him.
When an Enlightened Being wanted to kill a person, even if they were a Giant at tens of thousand miles away, they would still be killed. The only exception was if they could hide their aura from the Enlightened Being’s divine intent.
After the emergence of the Evil Woman, these great powers suffered a terrible setback. Thus, they had no way to resist the Feng at this moment so they had to join the Feng banner.
Among them, only the Ji Clan retreated earlier and escaped having to join the Feng.
There were twenty-eight counties in the southern prefecture. Twenty-six have been invaded by the corpses and were under the control of the Evil Woman. The remaining six became the Feng Clan’s territory.
The great powers here rarely united. It had happened in the past but only Enlightened Beings were able to carry this out. After they died, the great powers would separate again.
At this moment, the Feng had nine Giants. Even though this wasn’t a match for the four great clans in the capital, it was enough to oppose any hall of the Senluo Temple. Furthermore, they had an Enlightened Being as well. Even the Evil Woman would have to be wary of this new behemoth.
The corpses have withdrawn instead of invading the remaining six counties.
This was the new political climate of the southern prefecture, one Evil Woman and one nefarious being. The entire dynasty sensed a terrorizing aura coming from the south. This was no longer the desolate frontier.

Feiyun sat in the cold and pitch-black prison cell. There was nothing above him but a formation board with a diameter of six meters. It poured down black rains and trapped him inside.
Feng Mo personally created this formation. Feiyun had tried ten different methods to no avail and couldn’t break it. He had been imprisoned here for more than a month.
He still kept up with his cultivation and had fortified his first-level Heaven’s Mandate. As for Yama’s spine on his back, he preferred to suppress it instead of using it.
After all, it didn’t belong to him. If he fused it into his body like Feng Mo did, he might not be able to suppress it later on. It would be nothing but trouble.
Feng Mo also visited twice during this period but Feiyun didn’t yield. It wasn’t because he enjoyed staying in this prison or he was too foolish to act submissively for now. He simply disliked Feng Mo’s conducts so he couldn’t pretend even if he wanted to.
The Evil Woman wouldn’t kill corpses on her side but Feng Mo treated the Feng members’ lives like trash. How could he yield to this type of person?
Feng Feiyun would call the Evil Woman, “Her Excellency”, and the Divine King, “master” but he would never refer to Feng Mo as “ancestor”.
“Haha, bro, look what good stuff Lil’ Qingqing is bringing you this time.” A sweet laughter came first before her voice.
