Chapter 824: The Unthinkable (1/2)
“Aren’t we leaving Jin? Why are we carrying out the promise with her?” Yao Ji didn’t understand.
The two of them left Huang Feng Ridge and headed for the Evil Woman’s citadel. As for Housekeeper Liu, he left Jin for Timeworn earlier than expected.
Feiyun didn’t need his protection any longer given the youth’s current cultivation. He needed to report this anyway.
“Yama inside your bottle is a big problem. Its corpse will find us wherever we go, so we need to deal with it first. Plus, the Evil Woman used to be a Heaven’s Emergence expert, a top dog among humans. We don’t know anyone in Central so we need someone to back us up there.” Feiyun explained.
“But she’s dead. Even if she was strong before, I don’t think anyone there will give her any face now.”
Power mattered the most in the cultivation world. Once fallen, people would immediately step on you, even friends and allies. This was awfully normal.
“They’ll give her face if she can finish the fifth transformation.” Feiyun said.
“Impossible.” Yao Ji was the Yin Mother so she knew the significance behind this. She shook her head in response: “This land doesn’t have enough resources to accommodate the fifth transformation. The only way is for her to obtain the dragon stone of the royal clan, just a sliver of hope.”
“The truth is that she has a higher-ranking stone than that one right now.” Feiyun smiled.
Yao Ji took a deep breath. A stone higher ranked than the dragon one in Jin? How unbelievable.
This would make the fifth transformation very possible.
They entered the city and met the Evil Woman. The latter immediately went into isolated cultivation.
“Let me take you somewhere.” Feiyun opened the portal to his kingdom.
“A 100,000-mile spirit vein underground, comparable to the dragon vein in Jin.” Yao Ji was shocked despite her knowledge.
“This is only a side vein here.” Feiyun summoned a bird and the two traveled across the land, enjoying themselves in the process.
“This is a high-level realm?” Yao Ji activated her divine intent but couldn’t see the end of this world.
“Yes, it’s changing into a minor dimension soon enough. Once it has a world heart, it’ll be one with the celestials and the changing of day into night, water and air, capable of giving birth to life and spirit energy.” Feiyun nodded.
Yao Ji felt as if she was a naive girl while being in here with Feiyun.
“She might be able to use the resources here to reach the fifth transformation.” Yao Ji smiled.
“This is a peaceful land, I’m definitely not letting her in. Her murderous affinity is too thick.” Feiyun refused right away.
“Yes, absolutely not.” He repeated.
“It’s peaceful indeed.” Yao Ji leaned into his embrace.
Feiyun grimaced. He had just bragged about the place being peaceful earlier to Yao Ji. Since when did the kingdom become so rotten? Murders were taking place here?
The black turtle inched out of his shell, seemingly drowsy. It looked around and said: “Sounds like the thief.”
The bird landed on the island and Feng Feiyun saw two tigers standing on two feet. They carried a wooden beam with an iron chain coiled around it. The chain was connected to a cage.
Ningshuai was stuck in the cage; both of his hands were tied behind his back; his legs also had chains around them.
He struggled in the cage while screaming: “Help! Somebody save me! These tigers want to eat me!”
The tiger in front had a Buddhist bead necklace on its neck. It turned back and glared at Ningshuai then shook its head: “Amitabha. I am a vegetarian. We don’t eat meat.”
“Who are you trying to trick?! A tiger that’s not a carnivore? You eat grass then?” Ningshuai said with an annoying tone.
The two tigers stopped and put the cage down. The one to the front went over and plucked a green leaf, putting in its mouth and swallowing. It placed its palms together next while chanting: “Amitabha.”
Ningshuai had nothing to say.
The two tigers continued to carry the cage towards the ocean, stopping by the shore.
“What are you trying to do?” Ningshuai shouted.
