Chapter 386 - Wipe Your Ass
Outside of the city, Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzhong had both killed their opponents, causing an uproar among the Shan Shen and Gui Shen Celestial Race disciples. There was a magnate from each of the races, surrounded by a cadre of Heavenly Dharma and Inner Core experts. They all erupted in anger and raised a commotion at the death of their comrades.
However, with the two races intending to kill Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzhong, it would put them in an even more compromising position if they were to kill Shan Zhufeng and Wei Heiqi. Moreover, with Shui Zian present, it was impossible for Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzhong to be punished for this.
This South Barren trip is ten times more dangerous than the West Barren, easy to enter, hard to leave.
In the Fiery Saint Palace, Shui Zian summoned Zhong Yue, Zuo Xiangsheng, and the other disciples to come over. He thought for a moment before taking out tens of charms. He folded them into paper cranes and blew on them. The tens of paper cranes then fluttered their wings and left in all directions away from the Fiery Capital.
I'm not their target, and neither are Tian Yanzhong nor Zuo Xiangsheng. There is only one man worthy in their eyes, Zhong Yue! Which clearly explains why they tried to kill Tian Yanzhong and Zuo Xiangsheng so that they could divert my attention away from Zhong Yue to the two of them.
Shui Zian watched as the paper cranes flew away, and he mumbled softly, "Will time our friend…?"
…
“Sha Qishan is also in the Fiery Capital?”
Shui Zian called Zhong Yue into the room, and the grand elder informed him of the news, he was greatly shocked and admired the Sea King immediately after. In the Triad Ritual, Demon Saint had sacrificed the whole Heavenly Demo Secret Realm and all of the experts except for Zhong Yue and a few others around him. Yet, Sha Qishan was right here in the South Barren. He had survived the calamity!
This couldn't just be attributed to luck, it could only be Sha Qishan strength that allowed him to survive the five dragon elders, and it was this strength that let him live until this day – he was truly the king of a race!
One had to know the already strong dragon elders were also equipped with the divine weapons when they were in pursuit of Sha Qishan.
"This Sea King has asked you and also Chief Di of the monster race about Long Yue."
Shui Zian' face stiffened up as he said with a low voice, "It seems like he knows something about you and Long Yue."
Zhong Yue pondered deeply and responded, "Sha Qishan has been looking for me everywhere, this must be the order of the Kun Peng Celestial Race of Wood Celestial Star. For Sha Qishan to know about the true relation between Long Yue and Zhong Yue, he must've been told it be Feng Wuji's demon incarnation that is in the demon race Eight Barrens."
“Kun Peng Celestial Race?”
Shui Zian said in shock, "Then I know why Sha Qishan is here already. The Kun Peng Celestial Race has always been long-standing rivals to the dragon race while the Zhong Li Celestial Race also has some enmities against the dragon race. Sha Qishan is here to bring these two races together against the great dragon race!"
Zhong Yue then exclaimed, "No wonder! Sha Qishan is definitely trying to convince the Zhong Li Celestial Race to build a teleportation array formation for the Kun Peng Celestial Race to come! Zhong Li, Kun Peng, and Xiao Mang ... these three celestial races are strong enough to bring down the dragon race!"
However, Shui Zian shook his head and voiced out a different opinion, "The dragon race is not as simple as what we see now. Even with the three celestial races coming together, they will not die no matter what. What I want to know is what you did to antagonize the Kun Peng Celestial Race?"
Zhong Yue hesitantly looked around to ensure that there were no eavesdroppers before he took out the copper lamp. He opened the lid and whispered to Shui Zian, "Grand elder, please, take a look."
Shui Zian looked into the lamp, and his body visibly shook. He was stunned to see a galaxy slowly spinning within the copper lamp. Its light dazzled his eyes!
In the galaxy, a wing-like long saber was hovering peacefully.
The Kun Peng Celestial Race's saint weapon – the Divine Wing Saber!"
Although fragmented, it was still the strongest weapon Shui Zian had ever seen with his own eyes!
"Grand elder, this is half of Kun Peng Celestial Race's saint weapon. The Kun Peng Race has already recovered the other half."
Zhong Yue closely watched Shui Zian's expressions before explaining, "When I fought for it, it was under the identity of Long Yue. The Kung Peng Celestial Race has already seen my face before. However, since Feng Wuji knows that I'm Long Yue, Sha Qishan must've also set a bounty on me as well."
“I … This….”
Shui Zian's face was a blur of various expressions. After a few moments, the grand elder managed to recollect himself to process the new information. He then numbly said, "Little shit, what more have you done. Just spit it all out right now. This, yes, this, what is this divine banner and how did it come … Azure Dragon Marked Banner? One of the four godly beasts of the imperial palace? You were the one that stole it from the Zhong Li Celestial Race….?"
Shui Zian was breathing heavily, and his chest was undulating violently. A few moments later, his face turned grave, and he said, "Damn, I've lived for so long and everything I've been through during my lifetime cannot even compare to what you've experienced in just a few years! Kun Peng Celestial Race's saint weapon, and a godly beast banner ... What in the world is going on and what exactly are you made of? If the Kun Peng Celestial Race is to be teleported over, the dragon race won't be one of their concerns anymore. It will be the Swords Gate that they will be coming after! Let me kill you first before they come for you!"
Zhong Yue blushed in shame, and he whispered cautiously, "Grand elder, is there anything we can do?"
"Are you asking me to clean up the mess you've made?"
Shui Zian erupted with anger like an over-inflated balloon, and he scolded, "Cleaning up your mess is not an easy task, at least I can't do it on my own! The Zhong Li Celestial Race will work with Sea King Sha Qishan to build a teleportation portal, and Feng Wuji, that scumbag, will surely also come. He is even most probably in the city now, hiding somewhere around here! Let me ask the headmaster and see if she is willing to step in to wipe your shitty ass with me!"
Zhong Yue was between laughter and tears, and he thought, Ask Senior Martial Sister Jun to wipe my ass? Elder Shui is really mad; he didn't even have time to think about the words he was going to say … However, Feng Wuji's arrival at the Fiery Capital is indeed big news!
A subtle light flashed across the little old man's eyes, and just as he raised his hands, the palace was sealed away, and a godly totem pillar emerged before him. He activated the totem pillar and established a connection to the Swords Gate. At the other end, Jun Sixie received the message and was shocked at the end of Shui Zian's recount. Immediately, she connected back, and her face appeared on the totem pillar before Shui Zian, "Elder Shui, stay calm and maintain the situation. I will come over now to help you break the teleportation portal!"
Shui Zian frowned and said, "If headmaster comes here, then Swords Gate…."
Jun Sixie smiled and allayed his worries, "Be at ease, Senior Martial Brother Fang Jiange is in Swords Gate, things will be fine."
Shui Zian then nodded and said solemnly, "These messes are not an easy task to settle, may the headmaster bring the divine sword along. After all, Fiery Capital is the second holy land of the South Barren Zhong Li Celestial Race. If we destroy their teleportation portal, they will surely retaliate."
Jun Sixie chuckled in turn and said, "No need for that, didn't Junior Martial Brother have a divine weapon with him?"
Shui Zian was shocked, and he exclaimed, "Divine Wing Saber? Headmaster plans on using it?"
Jun Sixie laughed and said, "The Divine Wing Saber is way stronger than the Swords Gate Divine Sword, and it is also the saint weapon of the Kun Peng Celestial Race. This time around, we will show ourselves, and we are not going to fall out with the Zhong Li Celestial Race either. Hence, the Divine Wing Saber is the best option we have. We will only the destroy the teleportation portal and leave no evidence behind. No one will then suspect Swords Gate."
Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief and smiled, "Thank you, headmaster."
"I will arrive in the Fiery Capital in two days!" Jun Sixie's face then faded away from the totem pillar, and it fell to the ground.
Shui Zian kept the totem pillar and locked his brows together, "Headmaster Jun is a lady of action, she must have been extremely boring in Swords Gate and saw this as a perfect chance to get some fresh air. But like this, her safety is not guaranteed. She should've let Fang Jiange come instead."
"This teleportation portal, where will it be set up?" Zhong Yue then mumbled.
Shui Zian then walked toward the door and said, "Leave it to me. You just try your best to keep a low profile and stay out of trouble for the next few days. I'll not be around to take care of you, and there will be experts that will do whatever they can to kill you. After all, your potential is too great for them to let you mature."
Zhong Yue nodded, and Shui Zian then left.
Meanwhile, Qiu Jin'er and Chi Xue were chatting happily, they bought mountains of delicacies and stored them all in their Yuan Shen secret realms while they were still enjoying the ones they had in their hands. Zhong Yue was unfortunately dragged by Qiu Jin'er to join them in their delicacy pilgrimage.
"There are also many delicacies in Kunlun, I'll bring you to eat them next time," Chi Xue invited.
"Alright!" Qiu Jin'er excitedly accepted her invitation.
Zhong Yue couldn't help but shake his head and think, Junior Martial Sister Jin'er has accepted to being kidnapped just like that. How funny is it that Granny Lu worries about elaborate schemes that I would use to take advantage of her when all it takes is just a bowl of food to kidnap her...?
All of a sudden, a sweet voice entered their ears, "Little sisters, what's that you two have there? Can I try too?"
Zhong Yue looked over and saw a heroic-looking lady. She was beside the, wearing a set of male's clothes and fanning herself with a folding fan in her hands to alleviate some of the heat of the Fiery Capital.
Qiu Jin'er and Chi Xue also looked over with lit up eyes. Chi Xue smiled and asked, "Sister, you like to enjoy the delicacies too?"
The lady gazed cautiously at Zhong Yue before shaking her head and saying, "Not too much, but I enjoy their taste."
Qiu Jin'er and Chi Xue then spoke the same sentence in unison, “We also don't like eating too much, we just like the taste."
The three ladies then looked at one another as if they were long-lost sisters. In just a few moments, they were discussing various delicacies together while eating packet after packet of food.
Zhong Yue looked at the lady and thought that she was familiar. However, he had no memories of meeting her before.
Who is she? Senior Martial Sister Jun? Impossible, she said that she would only arrive after two days, the Fiery Capital is over 100,000 miles away from Swords Gate, even the magnate will have to take two days of legwork to come.
Zhong Yue was puzzled, it had only been less than half a day; it was impossible for Jun Sixie to arrive at the Fiery Capital now.
The lady noticed him looking at her, and she smiled, "I once ate a dish, it was so delicious that I can still clearly remember how it tasted."
Qiu Jin'er and Chu Xie's interests were piqued, they implored the lady to elaborate, and she answered with a smile, "Raw beef, big chunks of raw beef that were freshly cut down from a monster. They weren't even cleaned and were still dripping with blood."
The other two ladies were then shocked and surprised at how raw beef could be so nice? It seemed that this big sister's preferences were a little weird.
But Zhong Yue was stunned, and he stared vacantly at the lady and thought, Jun Sixie, she is really Headmaster Jun! How is that she is here so quickly!?
The lady was none other than Jun Sixie. The moment she learned of the commotion Zhong Yue caused in the Eight Barrens, she immediately knew that he would be faced with great danger in the South Barren and was worried that Shui Zian alone wasn't enough to handle the situation. Hence, she ordered Fang Jiange to stand guard at the Swords Gate while she rushed toward the South Barren Fiery Capital right away.
When Shui Zian was talking with Jun Sixie, she was already in the South Barren. She had changed her appearance and pretended she was a male, even Zhong Yue barely recognized her.
All of a sudden, Zhong Yue was alerted, and he quickly pulled the three ladies away. An instant later, right at the spot they were just standing, a sword specter had pierced into the ground from the void!
“Gui Shen Celestial Race’s giant cultivator again!” Zhong Yue said furiously.
