Chapter 730: Yama’s Left Hand (1/2)

White fog engulfed today’s morning.

Chicken and dogs served as an alarm in Yue, a small village. Several young members of the clans here have left their bed in order to train inside their courtyard or on the streets.

These children weren’t that old but they were spirited and hard workers, issuing loud groans with each punch or kick.

The place was near the border of Ancient Jiang. The majority of the people here trained in crude martial arts in order to hunt and survive.

Inside the only inn in town, Feiyun woke up, looking very comfortable. Inside the blank was still the fragrance and heat of a woman.

It looked like she had only just left. He sat up and smiled, seemingly recalling the event last night.

“Creak.” Bai Ruxue pushed the door open and went inside. She wore a white dress without any decoration; her white hair draped down to the waist without using any hairpin, not even a hairband. This actually gave her a natural look of beauty.

She carried a bronze basin for washing and began serving Feng Feiyun: “I saw Miss Yao leaving a while ago.”

She had shimmering eyes, long and thin brows, and a tinge of red could be found on her otherwise perfectly white skin.

Feiyun nodded. After a short pause, he said: “I thought you had left as well.”

She tidied his hair after washing his face. Her jade-like hands suddenly stopped as she spoke: “I’m sure I would be dead right now if I had left last night.”

“Yao Ji pleaded for you yesterday so I had decided to spare you anyway. I gave you a chance to escape last night and I wouldn’t have pursued this any further.”

She could tell that he was speaking the truth so she naturally regretted her decision. Alas, she knew that it was too late so she smiled and said: “Even someone like Miss Yao wants to curry favor and get closer to you, I should be doing the same too. Just being a concubine isn’t bad… No, this is just wishful thinking from me… Plus, there’s nothing good in being a concubine. Your wives will try to kill me. Just being a maid is fine.”

“Haha!” Feiyun laughed and didn’t say anything else.

The two had moved seven thousand miles from the village at noon. They saw many cities along the way and stopped in one to buy an expensive carriage from a branch of the Yin Gou. Three 800-year-old tiger-lion hybrids pulled it.

They were more than six meters long with golden fur and two wings so they could also fly - capable of traveling 300,000 miles a day.

Their flying speed was fast but this required more energy than running on the ground. If it was a long journey with no rush, it was better to stay down.

Jin had an expansive road network built by many generations for the sake of war transportation of both troops and resources. They connected the various prefectures and had both land and river paths.

On this main road, not to mention three hybrids, even ten could move in parallel.

Feng Feiyun inside the carriage took out a stone chest with runes around the surface - a meter long and extremely heavy.

One could feel yin energy oozing from it, cold enough to freeze someone down to the bones.

Yao Ji gave it to him and said that it was more precious than a fourth-ranked spirit treasure.

He had a general idea of what it was and opening this confirmed it - the left hand of Yama!

Inside was a bloodied arm with numerous evil runes around it. Just one strand of evil energy nearly turned the carriage into ashes. Fortunately, Feiyun closed the chest in time.

Nevertheless, the expensive carriage had numerous holes now, becoming as shabby as can be, almost as if it had just been excavated from the ground.

“Raaa!” The tiger-lion hybrids roared due to the explosion.

The entire caravan stopped. Bai Ruxue who was acting as the driver quickly asked: “Young Noble, what happened just now?”

She couldn’t call him “Divine King” any longer since they were in hiding. “Young Noble” became more fitting.

“It’s nothing, keep going.” Feiyun calmly said.

Bai Ruxue had many questions and slightly frowned. However, she didn’t dare to go against him right now due to his cultivation. She continued controlling the hybrids.

Early this morning, Feiyun had used his Ascension Platform to take away a strand of her soul. That’s why she needed to obey all of his commands.
