Chapter 411: Regulations, Commander
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
When Zhou Bao arrived at Forever Peace Town, it was already late at night. There were few people on the streets. The only inn was ablaze with lights. Moon Deer of Extended Net was standing outside the inn with an anxious face, pacing back and forth. When he saw Zhou Bao walking toward him, he was happy and came to him.
“Zhou Bao, you’re finally here, you’re driving me crazy!”
Zhou Bao frowned. This person was extremely friendly, as if he was an old friend. “Moon Deer of Extended Net, although I belong to the Immortal Palace nominally, I have the freedom to do what I want to do. You have no rights to interfere!”
Moon Deer of Extended Net stopped instantly and he understood him. He became serious and said, “Zhou Bao, what do you mean? You still know you belong to the Immortal Palace nominally? Since you belong to it, you should represent its image. Look at your behavior now. Anyway, I’m one of the 28 constellations in the Immortal Palace, so I have the rights to control you!”
“The rights to control me? Just try it!” Zhou Bao gave a brittle laugh and stepped forward. His body emitted a strong aura, which immediately suppressed Moon Deer of Extended Net. “28 constellations? So what?!”
“Hump!” A scornful voice came from the inn. “Zhou Bao, this is the Borderline Mountain, not your Jin. You’ve no rights to be arrogant!”
A strong Qi Power swept across, fiercely impacting Zhou Bao’s nerves.
“Interesting!” Zhou Bao laughed and guessed that person may be the legendary Yu Nantian. Without decreasing his Qi Power, Zhou Bao stepped forward bravely, and fought back the other party’s Qi Power. “I’m arrogant? Who’re you to say that!”
“Divine Wind Palace, Yu Nantian!”
A shadow flashed and a handsome teen in magnificent robe appeared before Zhou Bao.
“Good moves!” Seeing Yu Nantian’s excellent moves, Zhou Bao praised gently and added, “You can make a living by performing it!”
Hearing the comments, Yu Nantian’s face flushed with redness, but he tamed his anger. “Zhou Bao, this hunt for Ye Qingtian and the Fiery Eyes remnants are really important. I hope you can look at the big picture and not cause troubles!”
“Of course. I won’t cause troubles!” Zhou Bao cast a look at Yu Nantian with a smile. “The reason for me being here is not to cause trouble, no?”
“Well then, this way, please!” Yu Nantian turned and made way for Zhou Bao to enter the inn.
Zhou Bao glared at Moon Deer of Extended Net harshly and walked in while swaying his body.
Moon Deer of Extended Net followed them, pulling a long face. The three did not talk and directly went up to the third floor.
The whole inn was reserved by Jade Pool. Other than the shopkeeper and the waiter, there were only 17 other people, including Zhou Bao. After trio entered the second floor, he found that there were 15 people sitting down and looking at him with a strange gaze.
Similarly, Zhou Bao also stared at them with a curious look. Those 15 people included monks and laities. Naturally, the monks were from the Bigwheel Temple. Three of them wore red kasaya. They showed an unfriendly expression when they saw Zhou Bao walking into the room. They cannot be blamed. In Zhou Bao’s Wuyang Region, two Living Buddhas from the Bigwheel Temple were killed and three Pure Yang Celestial Devices were lost. It was very embarrassing for them. How could they not stare at him like that?
Facing their glares, Zhou Bao just smiled. He looked around and his eyes landed on a young lady. She was Ji Yeyue.
As a disciple of Jade Pool, Ji Yeyue was also one of the fourteen experts in Jin, along with Zhou Bao. He would not have imagined her to be one of the hunters this time round. He was even more surprised to know that she had already surpassed Level Seven in just a little over a year where they have not met. She was now at the peak of Level Eight Realm. She could become Level Nine anytime.
Innate Green Lotus!
Even though Zhou Bao was standing at the door, Zhou Bao could still feel the pungent smell of the Innate Green Lotus coming from her.
“It seems that the Innate Green Lotus Seed really has a good function!” Zhou Bao thought to himself and nodded to Ji Yeyue with a smile. Ji Yeyue also nodded slightly. The air between them became subtle.
“Haha. You guys are indeed youngsters! Once you are in the room, you two start to notice each other! Nice!” A heavy sound emerged. Zhou Bao furrowed his brows and suddenly laughed. “It’s the Great Dark Lord Du! I can’t believe The Dark Sect sent Your Excellency here!”
“Hahaha. We have no choice because we have no talents now. We are not young and handsome like you. Old guy here is just to fill in the numbers. Come on, Little Dao, let me introduce. This is the world-famous Yunzhou Zhou Bao, the most powerful man of the young generation!” Great Dark Lord Du was not being modest. He introduced a weak middle-aged man beside him to Zhou Bao.
Zhou Bao made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other before his chest. The middle-aged man who was called Little Dao also did the same gesture. “I’m Chen Dao!”
“Little Dao is the third Dark Lord in our Dark Sect!” Great Dark Lord Du introduced fervidly. “You know our friends from the Bigwheel Temple! Over there are two emissaries from the Dragon Thunder Palace, Tianyuan and Difang!”
“I have seen you two before!” Zhou Bao cupped his fist politely. The two emissaries smiled and respectively introduced themselves.
Wu Tianyuan
Zhao Difang
Zhou Bao gave a nod. Even though he felt that their names were weird, he did not ask more. He just walked to an empty chair and sat down.
“Well. Everybody. Now everyone’s here. This time we will go to Three Western Regions to hunt Ye Qingtian and the rest. It’s a very important mission and we should be cautious. We can’t go there recklessly. We need regulations. Any ideas from the floor?”
Seeing that everyone was here, Yu Nantian started speaking with his fist cupped.
“You’re right. It’s a big thing. We have to make regulations. All of us are outside the Mysterious Realm. Although some people have good combat capability, when facing Ye Qingtian, we are very likely to suffer losses without a fairy weapon. Also, Three Western Regions is a foreign place for us. If we are dispersed and attacked individually due to carelessness, it will be a big shame. We have to make a plan and regulations to proclaim prohibitions. That’ll be more like it!”
After Yu Nantian finished his words, another golden-robed man began to talk. His style of dressing was exactly the same as those that Zhou Bao saw in the Divine Wind Palace when he was in Taiyuan Heaven. There are another four men dressed in the same way, seems like they were all from the Divine Wind Palace.
When golden-robed man began to speak, the others did not say anything and just sat there silently. Some who knew each other exchanged teasing glares.
Seeing that nobody replied, Yu Nantian’s face flushed with anger, but it disappeared instantly. “The 17 of us are all from different sects, so we don’t know each other and are not subordinate of one another. There’ll be lapses during our action. As the saying goes, soldiers won’t act without a commander’s order. Snakes can’t move with a head. We have to select someone as our commander so as to unite us and help us give our best shot. Otherwise, the other sects will laugh at us when we’re in the Three Western Regions. Great Dark Lord Du, what do you think of it?”
“You’ve got a point there. It’s reasonable!” Hearing that Yu Nantian mentioned his name, Great Dark Lord Du slightly smiled and nodded. “Lord Yu is right. A snake can’t move without a head!”
“It’s good that Great Dark Lord Du agrees. From what I can tell, among so many of us here, Great Dark Lord Du has the highest cultivation. You are most respected. How about you command us in this action?”
Yu Nantian said with a smile.
“I’m not worthy!” Great Dark Lord Du almost jumped from the chair when heard it and shook his head. “It won’t work. I only have a name of Dark Lord and live longer and eat more than you. How can I be a commander. No no no. In my opinion, the commander should be from your Divine Wind Palace. This time, your palace sent the most people. I cannot say for the others, but Little Dao and I follow you guys. Just tell us what we should do. Little Dao, what do you think?”
“Yes. I follow you, my brother!” Chen Dao threw a faint smile and said to Great Dark Lord Du.
“Now that Great Dark Lord Du has such an opinion, our Divine Wind Palace won’t decline to shoulder a responsibility!” Yu Nantian was satisfied that Great Dark Lord Du had such an awareness. “What do you all think of it?”
“This action is led by the Divine Wind Palace. Our Bigwheel Temple has no objection!”
“So does Jade Pool!”
“Dragon Thunder Palace has no objections!”
“Then, how about Immortal Palace?” Bigwheel Temple, Jade Pool, and Dragon Thunder Palace have claimed their stance. Only the Immortal Palace was left. Yu Nantian softly knit his brow and looked at Moon Deer of Extended Net and then Zhou Bao.
“Hehe. I have no objections, but I cannot represent the Immortal Palace. We should let one of the 28 constellations express his view!” Zhou Bao glanced at Moon Deer of Extended Net and said unkindly.
Moon Deer of Extended Net seems to have been thinking about something ever since he entered the room. When he heard Zhou Bao mentioning him, he suddenly turned his head and immediately answered, “No objections. The Immortal Palace agrees!”
“OK. Such being the case, Our palace will assume this task and be responsible for the action of hunting Ye Qingtian. I hope all of us cooperate with each other and let none of them escape. We will let the world become bright!”
All the sects had no objections. Even Zhou Bao, whom he was concerned about the most, had no dissidence. Yu Nantian was free from anxiety and was in high and vigorous spirits. All of a sudden, he banged the table, shocking Zhou Bao.
“All of you know that Ye Qingtian has a fairy weapon, the North Pole Frozen Wheel. And he inherits from the Big Dipper Emperor in the antiquity times. Except for the North Pole Frozen Wheel, he also has some other weapons we don’t know. His combat capability is far beyond Level Nine, so he’s the most formidable!”
“I’m afraid you’re wrong. Isn’t there a Fiery Eyes remnant? While I was in Taiyuan Heaven, I observed his power. He is not lower than a Genuine Immortal!” Zhou Bao seized the chance to question with a face full of lingering fear.
“Not necessary to worry about it. He got the Golden Book of Fate, so he can’t play the Fiery Eyes’ power in at least ten years. The Fiery Eyes focus 80% their power on the eyes. Once they lose the eyes, there’s no need to worry.” Yu Nantian said confidently.
“OK. Then there’s indeed no need to worry.” Zhou Bao smiled and leaned against the chair while slightly closing his eyes.
