Chapter 392

– The Messages of The Paper Cranes

Little Sister Jin’er, this senior martial brother of yours is so sneaky, even I’m nearly falling for him.

Chi Xue was laughing uncontrollably, whispering in Qiu Jin’er’s ears,
Putting on a show by fighting against himself, then voicing out his ‘flaws’ to the world, setting up such a big trap for the world. I pity those who believe him, they are going to go through some really, really bad experiences! Oh yes, is your senior martial brother married yet? I have a little sister I can introduce to him.

Nearly falling for my senior martial brother? Introducing a little sister to him? Is it not you yourself you are referring to?
Qiu Jin’er was alert and she replied,
Sister Chi Xue, my senior martial brother is already engaged, his marriage has been planned from birth.

However, to Qiu Jin’er’s disappointment, Chi Xue was nonchalant as she responded,
How is that even an issue? You never know, maybe his fiancee is incredibly ugly? The little sister I’m going to introduce to him is in turn, incredibly beautiful, she is one of the most beautiful girls to ever exist in the whole Western Mother Empire!

Qiu Jin’er glanced at Chi Xue’s leopard tail, she blinked her eyes and said in a sweet voice,
Senior Martial Sister Chi Xue, my senior martial brother doesn’t like tails.


Tails….?
Chi Xue pondered.
It was then that Zhong Yue returned from the Martial God Stage, he walked towards them and just as Qiu Jin’er was stepping forward to welcome his return, she saw out of the corner of her eyes that Chi Xue’s leopard tail had disappeared!
Her heart immediately stiffened up and she became vigilant, This Chi Xue, her little sister really is herself!
Zhong Yue walked towards them and conducting his sound directly to Qiu Jin’er, he asked,
Junior martial sister, is Elder Shui still nowhere to be seen?

Qiu Jin’er nodded and she was also puzzled, she replied,
Elder Shui has not appeared for two days already, where could he be at?

All of a sudden, Jun Sixie’s voice was conducted to Zhong Yue, she said,
Junior Martial Brother Zhong, I’ve found the teleportation portal, it is inside of the Fiery Capital’s guardian spirit, the Martial Divine Master’s body.

Zhong Yue’s face turned stern and he asked,
Senior martial sister, where is Elder Shui?

However, Jun Sixie was also puzzled since she responded,
I have seen no signs of Elder Shui.

Zhong Yue furrowed his brows deeply, Shui Zian had headed out to search for the teleportation array formation and yet, he had disappeared while Jun Sixie found it before he did. This made things appear incredibly suspicious to Zhong Yue.
Elder Shui said that the smart ones are the ones that die faster, but the incredibly smart ones will be incredibly hard to kill. But, what if there is also an incredibly smart figure on the other end and plotting and scheming? It is very dangerous and Elder Shui has been missing for such a long time, something must have happened! Only a man whose intelligence is unmatched could bring an old fox like Elder Shui into a setted trap.
Rays flashed across his eyes and he knew immediately which man, It must be Feng Wuji. He arrived in the Fiery Capital but was not seen anywhere at all, as such, he is the only one that could lure Elder Shui into a trap. However, these two days, there was only one battle happening around here, which is the battle between Long Yue and I; other than that, there is nothing else. Hence, Feng Wuji must have set the trap not in the city but in some secret realm. So now, there is only one question left, which secret realm is strong enough to completely cover the skills and auras of an Imminent Deity Qi Practitioner like Elder Shui?
Just as his thoughts arrived there, Zhong Yue raised his head and gazed at the sky-piercing sculpture of Lord Xia, he had an answer in his heart already.
Although there were many secret realms in the Fiery Capital, but even the Martial Divine Master’s secret realm could not withstand the strikes of an Imminent Deity nor could it completely hide Shui Zian’s aura away!
If Shui Zian was ambushed in the Martial Divine Master’s secret realm, the impact of the battle would surely be able to be sensed in the outside world. Thus, with this taken off the list, Shui Zian could only be ambushed in the Lesser Void World, only that place could completely inhibit the Imminent Deity’s auras and skills from being sensed by the outside world!
The Twin Yues battle pulled nearly every cultivator into the Fiery Capital, if not for this, how would Chi Xue ranking six on the Godlike Board be neglected and barely noticed by the world?
The Qi Practitioners in the Lesser Void World were also attracted by the battle of Twin Yue, with the great reduction in cultivator numbers, the ambush of Shui Zian was left unnoticed and furthermore, Shui Zian would most probably be ambushed in the highest level of the Lesser Void World that was only accessible by the magnates. But there weren’t many magnates in the first place and even less would have been in the Lesser Void World.
Zhong Yue’s face turned serious, he told his conjectures to Jun Sixie and said,
Elder Shui must have been trapped in the Lesser Void World, where the totem pillars inhibit him from connecting to the outside world, which stops him from being able to give out his whereabouts. For now, we can only enter the Lesser Void World and save Elder Shui first. However, only the magnates can enter the seventh level, neither Senior Martial Brother Zuo, Senior Martial Brother Tian, nor I are magnates.


I’ll go!
Jun Sixie said decisively.
However, Zhong Yue shot down her thoughts as he replied,
If you go for Elder Shui, you will have to expose your cover and that will alert Feng Wuji of your arrival, he will surely place layer after layer of protections around the teleportation array formation, making it even harder to be destroyed.

Jun Sixie was filled with anxiety, the teleportation portal must be destroyed or otherwise, the Kun Peng Celestial Race would wipe the Swords Gate away into nothingness just for their saint weapon!
However, there were only two human magnates that had come to the South Barren, even if she saved Shui Zian, Feng Wuji would be alerted and things would also get even more difficult from there.
Hence, they could only proceed with both missions at the same time!

We lack manpower!

Jun Sixie was troubled, for a saint weapon like the Divine Wing Saber, even if there was only half of it left, it would still require a few magnates to cast it. But she was the only one here now, it was impossible for her to split herself into two to save Elder Shui and destroy the teleportation portal at the same time.
All of a sudden, Zhong Yue glanced at Bai Canghai and rays flashed across his eyes, he whispered,
I might just be able to get a helper or two….

Jun Sixie shifted her eyes and followed Zhong Yue’s sight, gazed at the white-haired old man and asked,
Bai Zhenbei?

Zhong Yue nodded and he walked toward Bai Canghai and Bai Zhenbei, he smiled and said,
Junior, Zhong Yue, greets Senior Elder Bai and Senior Martial Brother Canghai.

Bai Zhenbei then quickly smiled and replied,
Nephew Zhong, there is no need to be overly polite. Your battle with the Eastern Sea Long Yue was really an eye-opening battle, such a young age and your prowess is way stronger than some little brat! Look at your peers….
As he spoke, he ended up glaring at Bai Canghai.
Zhong Yue then laughed and said,
Senior Martial Brother Canghai is suppressed by the Pure Yin Qi in him. However, if the Yin Meridian and Yin God in him is cured, he will be able to cultivate the Pure Yin Qi and by then, Senior Martial Brother Canghai’s prowess will be heightened to an unimaginable state, he will then be the pride of the Bai Zhe Clan.

Bai Zhenbei smiled ear to ear, he answered,
I hope so, I very much hope so, but this brat is somewhat disappointing … I’ve heard that you’ve cultivated the Pure Yang Qi and have promised to cure Canghai this brat, I’m grateful for your offer of help and the whole Bai Zhe Clan will remember the hand you’ve lent to us. Anything you need, anything you desire, I will fulfill your request!


Senior Elder Bai is too humble, I do not deserve such high venerations.

Zhong Yue then followed with more whispered words,
In fact, to be honest to Senior Elder Bai, I do have a small matter that requires assistance from Senior Elder Bai.

Bai Zhenbei laughed heroically and said,
Say it and consider it done!

Moments later, after Zhong Yue voiced his request, Bai Zhenbei’s face turned ashen, he looked at Bai Canghai who was standing beside him and in the moment, this dear disciple of his appeared to be incredibly awful, He must be the Comet Innate Spirit Body, wherever he goes, ill-fortune follows like clouds, always shrouding around me.
After he listened to Zhong Yue’s request, Bai Zhenhai knew that ill-fortune had found its way to him!
However, he had promised Zhong Yue and it was not his style to go back on his words. Furthermore, if he declined, Bai Canghai would not be able to receive Zhong Yue’s Pure Yang Qi and it would not be long before his dear disciple would be killed by the Yin God in his body.
However, if what he was going to do was exposed and made known to the world, like it or not, he would be labelled as an ally to Zhong Yue. Thus, his good name and respected reputation would then take a drastic turn, turning him into someone that could only live in the dark and be wanted by every other race out there!
Even more, we might not even be able to walk out from the Fiery Capital … Bai Canghai this brat, he is for sure the Comet Innate Spirit Body, the strongest and highest-level kind!
Bei Zhenbei took in a long breath of air, while he was hesitating, Zhong Yue then spoke with a gentle smile,
Senior Elder Bai, this can be done without leaving any traces behind, no one will suspect you at all.

Bai Zhenbei then heaved a breath, his face turned stern and he said in a serious tone,
Brat, if you can’t cure my disciple, this idiot Canghai here, then you’d better prepare to face the wrath of a magnate!

Zhong Yue also turned solemn, he said,
Please be assured! Yue will head to the Northern Sea when the dusts of the South Barren here settle down, I will come in person to cure Senior Martial Brother Canghai’s Yin Meridian! Then after Senior Martial Brother Canghai has taken down the Yin God, he will be able to cultivate the Pure Yin Qi which before now, only the gods could embrace. With this, the Bai Zhe Clan will rise and its future will be secured, all by Senior Martial Brother Canghai alone!

However, Bai Zhenbei didn’t smile this time, he furrowed his brows deeply as he said,
Each family has their own different issues. For this disciple of mine, I’ve sacrificed way too much….


Then I shall trust this matter to the hands of Senior Elder Bai!

Zhong Yue eased his heart and thought, Now, the only issue is whether Senior Martial Sister Jun can use the Divine Wing Saber. If she can’t, then it’s impossible to breakthrough the Martial Divine Master’s mortal body to destroy the teleportation portal.
All of a sudden, a feeble and yet soul-terrifying aura assaulted his senses, Zhong Yue exclaimed in shock and turned his head, Qiu Jin’er and Chi Xue followed his gaze and also looked over.
There was an old man tottering over with a walking stick, beside him, a young lady tenderly supported him with her arm as they slowly walked over.

Ying Zhao Celestial Temple’s Old Man Ying and Ying Nu?
Zhong Yue was stunned.
They were the Old Man Ying and Ying Nu, owners of the Ying Zhao Celestial Temple where Zhong Yue stayed before under the guidance of Shui Zian to evade the Xiao Mang Celestials.
The whole Ying Zhao Celestial Race was only left with Old Man Ying and Ying Nu, it was on the brink of extinction and for the continuation of the Ying Zhao Celestial Race, Old Man Ying had even tried to force Zhong Yue to have intercourse with Ying Nu, a really shameless request that was.
However, after some chit-chatting and little talks between Shui Zian and Old Man Ying, Old Man Ying then and only then finally let him go but rather unwillingly.
Casting the not-so-happy memories to the back of his mind, Zhong Yue quickly stepped forward and greeted, he then asked,
Senior Elder Ying, why are you here?

Years had passed since the last time they’d met, Old Man Ying had aged even more, looking as if he could die at any second now. However, despite Old Man Ying reaching the end of his life, he still said sternly,
Old Brat Shui promised that you will take the responsibility of continuing the Ying Zhao Celestial Race once you’ve grown strong enough. And just a few days before, he sent a paper crane messenger to me, he said you are now the strongest of the Inner Core Qi Practitioners and are strong enough to carry out the promise.

The old man then scrutinized Zhong Yue from tip to toe, he was satisfied and said,
Indeed, he didn’t fool me. You are stronger and the life force in you is immense, it is at just the perfect state for the making of the new generation.

Zhong Yue blushed red in embarrassment, he looked at Ying Nu and found she had grown even prettier and was more alluring than before. However, the fact that they were both of different races put some pressure on him, he was tongue-tied as he responded,
Senior Elder Ying is joking again … Ehem, it’s perfect timing for Senior Elder Ying to have come, I have a request….


No.

Old Man Ying was incredibly straightforward, he said,
I’d do anything if you fulfil the promise your grand elder made. Otherwise, you’d better go off to bed and just dream about it!

Jun Sixie’s smiling voice then came to Zhong Yue’s ears, she said,
Junior Martial Brother Zhong, why don’t you sacrifice yourself once then? The Ying Zhao Celestial Race lady looks very pretty, doesn’t she?

Zhong Yue’s face turned gloomy. Abruptly, a thought flashed across his mind and a smile climbed onto his face again, he said,
Senior Elder Ying, it may be true that there are not any other Ying Zhaos left in the Ancestral Star, but that doesn’t mean that other places are the same … Senior Martial Sister Chi Xue, are there any of the Ying Zhao Celestial Race in your Kunlun?


Kunlun is the origin place of the gods, of course there is also the Ying Zhao Celestial Race.

Chi Xue blinked her eyes and said,
In the Western Mother Empire, we have a great tribe of the Ying Zhao Clan.

Zhong Yue then smiled and said,
Look, Senior Elder Ying, there is a huge tribe of the Ying Zhao Celestial Race, the Ying Zhao blood will not end here with you and Ying Nu.

Old Man Ying completely ignored Zhong Yue’s words, he stared vacantly at Chi Xue and the aged Ying Zhao said in a quivering voice,
The Western Mother Empire … is there really a tribe of our Ying Zhao Celestial Race?

Chi Xue then nodded solemnly and confirmed.
Old Man Ying was stunned, his eyes brightened up with rays and tears rolled down his wrinkled face as he mumbled to himself,
The Ying Zhao Celestial Race is not dying, we are not coming to an end … Brat, what was your request again?

Before Zhong Yue could say anything, an old and hoarse voice sounded around them,
Little brat of the human race, where is Shui Zian? He asked us here and yet, he himself is nowhere to be seen, what does this even mean?

Zhong Yue looked over and saw eleven celestials of different races and appearances walking over!
These celestials were incredibly strong, their auras were appalling and there were even two magnates!

Where is Shui Zian?

One of the magnates, a Cang Gu Celestial said, his face was dark and gloomy and his voice cold like blizzard ice,
He told us to come to the Fiery Capital and asked us to look for you and said that he will return the tokens to us, of course, provided that we accomplish a given task.
