Chapter 843: Traitor Yi!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After sensing his incarnations’ location, Zhong Yue pointed out the direction and Yin Yunkang turned around towards that direction right away; Feng Xiaozhong would not linger at a place for too long and after every period of time, he would move. This was to ease his research by capturing different people from different places and also to hide his traces so that no one would notice him.

Though he was madly obsessed with his research, he was still very aware of his situation.

Half a month time later, the carriage arrived at a very mundane-looking sacred mountain. With a knock on the bell hanging on the pillar of the carriage, the carriage stop and the bell noise echoed around the sacred mountain.

Zhong Yue expression changed right away and he immediately stopped the bell from ringing and said, “Uncle Yunkang, you can do it at other places but not here.”

Zhong Yue recollected his mind and as he walked towards the mountain top, he said, “Stay here while I see him.”

“Why is he so cautious when he’s merely seeing his senior martial brother?” murmured the puzzled Yin Yunkang.

Yin Fanxuan was also puzzled and she said, “Husband is not afraid of anything and this is the first time I see fear in him as if he is worried that his senior martial brother will harm us.”

Yin Yunkang nodded in agreement.

Zhong Yue got to the mountain top, entered the jade palace, found Feng Xiaozhong and greeted, “Greetings, senior martial brother, I have something for you.”

Feng Xiaozhong replied in surprise, “This something you want to gift me must be very extraordinary. Show me.”

Zhong Yue then took out Feng Qingyu’s head and body and said, “You are very curious about my body and Yuan Shen but I can’t give you mine so I brought a pureblood Fuxi that is very similar to mine. How about this?”

Feng Xiaozhong’s eyes lit up and after grabbing up Feng Qingyu’s head, he erased the seals Zhong Yue planted and placed the head back to the body. Feng Qingyu however, was furious and shocked as even though his body was returned to normal, his cultivation level was completely sealed off and he was immobilized. He shouted, “What are you trying to do! Do you have any idea of who am I? You…”

With a move in his psyche, Feng Xiaozhong unleashed chains that bore through Feng Qingyu’s body, hung him up and examined him like a precious toy.

“I can toy with him for a year or two but he is still not as interesting as you are.”

Feng Xiaozhong turned around and said seriously, “His Yuan Shen is not a Fuxi Yuan Shen so there are some aspects that he is lacking. Junior martial brother, your Yuan Shen…”

“No! I will not do it! His body contains everything that a Fuxi has, which will be sufficient to sate your curiosity for the time being. The most important part is that he is an expert in 17 monarch arts and techniques!”

“17?”

Feng Xiaozhong was surprised and no longer bothered trying to convince Zhong Yue to contribute his Yuan Shen. He turned around and examined Feng Qingyu while he said, “He refused to say a word, did he? But where’s the fun if he spat it out obediently. I prefer dissecting him and researching him for myself!”

Feng Qingyu shivered and said trembling, “Who are you? Do you know who I am?”

Zhong Yue sealed his mouth immediately, to which Feng Xiaozhong said, “No, don’t. I enjoy hearing their shrieks when I research them. After all, they are still alive and their opinions are very precious.”

Hearing this even Zhong Yue shivered and he thought, What kind of weird fetish is this…

“Oh right, there was a bell ring just now and there are two people down there, who are they?” asked Feng Xiaozhong as he continued to take a look at Feng Qingyu.

Zhong Yue’s heart tightened and he replied immediately, “They are my wife and my wife’s uncle.”

“You’re married?” The surprised Feng Xiaozhong said, “Then why are you so nervous? This is a good thing. Your wife is now my friend so why don’t you take her with you? I may be obsessed with my research but I still have manners. Since she’s my new friend, I need to give her some presents.”

“No thanks.”

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes and said, “My wife’s relative is here and it’s not good if he sees her. Senior martial brother, my wife is from the Yinkang Clan and you captured her relative, can you return him to me?”

“Yinkang Clan?”

“You mean that one in room 720? The secrets in him are just the bloodline seal in him. I was just researching the innate god’s body recently and I was thinking of coming back to him soon. If you take him away…”

“I’ve removed the seals in their bloodline, I’ll just teach you.”

With that said, he immediately taught the method to Feng Xiaozhong.

“Something’s off.” said Feng Xiaozhong, “You’re hiding something from me but since you gifted me with this Fuxi, I’ll let it slide and grant you your wish.”

He led Zhong Yue to room 720 and when Zhong Yue looked at his main purpose here, he noticed that his target was completely dissected and even his fishtail was sliced into pieces. Various totem patterns branded onto the air around and there were different calculations all over as Feng Xiaozhong had obviously researched on him for a moment before he was distracted by the innate god’s body.

Zhong Yue also noticed that Yin Shixuan was staring into his eyes angrily at him, he then quickly said, “If you don’t mind, I’ll need you to erase his memories here.”

“It’d be better if he kept it as it can help him train his mind but since you requested it, so be it.”

With a few flicks from Feng Xiaozhong, Yin Shixuan fainted and after pointing his finger at Yin Shixuan’s forehead, Feng Xiaozhong extracted Yin Shixuan’s memories relating to this place.

With a swing, the memories were laid bare before them and with another swing, Feng Xiaozhong erased the specific memories before returning them to Yin Shixuan’s head. Having done this, Feng Xiaozhong said, “Hold on for a moment as I attach his body and Yuan Shen back.”

After some time, Yin Shixuan was patched up again and he remained unconscious throughout the whole time. Zhong Yue then hurled him into his Yuan Shen secret realms and said, “Senior martial brother, please excuse me for leaving. I have other matters to attend to. It was nice seeing you again.”

Feng Xiaozhong nodded and Zhong Yue left right away.

“Strange, his wife is extraordinary for she managed to use melody to help him suppress his pain.”

Feng Xiaozhong murmured, “Impressive.”

Zhong Yue headed towards the carriage quickly and upon entering it, he said, “Go!”

Yin Yunkang immediately controls the carriage away from the sacred mountain and he asked, “Where to, master?”

“Which monarch race is closest to us now?” asked Zhong Yue.

“The Jinti Clan.”

Yin Yunkang said, “Jin Kun from the Jinti Clan visited us before, do you still remember?”

Zhong Yue nodded and said, “The Jinti Clan it is then. Uncle Yunkang, please ring the bell when we are 3,000 miles away.”

Yin Yunkang was confused but he nodded still.

Though the Jinti Clan was closest to them, it was still quite a distance given the vast Imperial Star. Even with the carriage’s speed, they had to spend a few days before they finally entered the Jinti Clan’s territory.

Yin Yunkang followed Zhong Yue’s order and he rang the bell when they got close enough to the distance that Zhong Yue said.

Not long later, endless lights emerged from the Jinti Clan’s sacred ground and it laid its path all the way to the carriage while celestial beings followed suit. Jin Kun then laughed happily, “Welcome, Mister Yi and Mrs. Yi. We are honored to have you, please, this way!”

The many gods stood beside the light path while Dao voices turned into a song before the carriage slowly entered the Jinti Clan’s sacred ground.

Meanwhile, in Xian Tian Palace, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian summoned King Zi Guang and handed over some intel to King Zi Guang.

King Zi Guang took a look and with a shook, he said, “Mister Yi actually went to Heavenly River and got married to the Yinkang Clan’s saint lady. That’s rather incredible.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian frowned and said, “You angered him and now, he ran to Yinkang Clan and no longer wishes to come back after marrying the clan master’s daughter. What is your suggestion?”

“Your Highness, worry not.”

King Zi Guang smiled and said, “Leave him be for a few days and if he wants to succeed in his career, he will return obediently.”

Suddenly, another god reported back with new information and when Imperial Emperor Xian Tian took a look at the information, he passed it to King Zi Guang and said, “What do you have to say now?”

King Zi Guang stunned after reading the news that said along with Yin Fanxuan, Zhong Yue defeated Tian Xuanzi, Xiang Zungong, and the others and became the number one god that was acknowledged by everyone.

King Zi Guang smiled and said, “Imperial Emperor, he must be trying to raise his value with this. Ignore him first as if we go to him now, he will use this to gain some benefits from you.”

The Imperial Emperor frowned and said, “I’m worried that he will be won over by the other powers. He is now Yinkang Clan’s son-in-law, and that Yinkang Clan is a monarch race. it is only a matter of time until he becomes desired by every faction.”

“But if we get him back now, he will become very arrogant.”

Two months later, King Zi Guang was summoned again and this time, the Imperial Emperor said, “Mister Yi headed to the Jinti Clan and he was welcomed with a grand ceremony. What do you say to this?”

King Zi Guang was stunned and he smirked, “This fool is trying to serve the Jinti Clan?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shook his head and said, “He stayed in the Jinti Clan for a short while before he went to the Zhuxiang Clan.”

…

King Zi Guang was caught off guard again and all he said was, “Wait for a few more days.”

Half a month later, the Imperial Emperor summoned him again and this time, he asked, “Mister Yi received the same grand and serious treatment from the Zhuxiang Clan, what do you think?”

At this point, King Zi Guang still insisted stubbornly, “Traitor Yi! He thinks that he is popular now and he is comparing the many other races with you, My Highness!”

Time passed again and there was a piece of new news. Imperial Monarch summoned King Zi Guang and said again, “He went to the Titing Clan and he was welcomed by the Titing Clan even more grandly than the previous two races!”

“Traitor!”

“Zi Guang… The Zhongyang Clan welcomed him politely as well and old clan master welcomed him in personally, addressing him as Mister.”

“Traitor Yi is just comparing! The Zhongyang Clan is also treating him like that because of Yinkang Clan, not because of his talent! We must be patient and he will return in no time”

…

Finally, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian could not keep this up and after summoning King Zi Guang again, he said, “Zi Guang, this traitor you speak of is now heading towards the Diming Clan after he visited more than twenty monarch races. After that, he will head towards the Heaven Court. If I ignore him still, I won’t be able to get him to serve me again! It’s fine if he went to the Diming Clan but if he enters the Heaven Court, he will no longer return as the Heavenly Monarch will not let such a talent slip through his palms! Tell me, what other suggestions you have!”

This time, King Zi Guang did not insist on his idea anymore and he said, “What is your plan, Imperial Emperor.”
