Zhong Yue inspected carefully again but found nothing. The only thing he noticed was just how delicately smooth and clear her skin was. It was like an exquisite artifact that compelled one to brush their hands across and caress it.

Yin Fanxuan gave a soft moan, she blushed and kept her legs back while saying softly, “Dear, do you find anything?”

“No.” Zhong Yue shook regretfully when she kept her legs back and he answered, “The bloodline seals may be too deep within. How about this, when you feel the itchiness again, let me know and I will come check again. Maybe it comes out when that happens.”

Yin Fanxuan released her skirt hem and lowered her head, she answered with a face red like tomatoes.

Another half a day passed by, there were godly rays that rose from a sacred land somewhere on their paths. These godly rays have turned into six light wheels.

As the light wheels rose, a huge head was also hovering up from the sacred land.

Even just half of his body, the stalwart presence was still much bigger than the sacred land itself.

“King Yi, please stay.” The gargantuan man said while Zhong Yue walked out of the carriage and looked up. Even with the formation of a million gods, they looked just like a small group of ants that stopped before a giant.

“I see, it’s Sovereign Kun.” Zhong Yue laughed happily.

The giant was the sovereign to the Kun Peng Celestial Race, a Creator that was near the level of Imperial Emperor. The Kun Peng Celestial Race was a powerful race with great strength that heeds to Xian Tian Palace.

The current era was known as the God Order Era. Unlike its predecessors, the Fire Order Era and Earth Order Era where only the Heavenly Monarch could be known as the sovereigns, the God Order Era had the heads of the each races as sovereigns, such as the human race’s Human Sovereign.

Thus, in such context, Sovereign Kun was the sovereign to the Kun Peng Celestial Race.

Sovereign Kun replied in a buzzing tone, “King Yi, King Zi Guang ordered me to let you rest for a short moment.”

Zhong Yue laughed, “Stop for a short moment, it’s just a phony excuse, isn’t it? King Zi Guang has asked you to hold me back, to stop me from going to the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture.”

Sovereign Kun smiled, “King Yi is smart, sure I can’t hide the truth from your eyes. But I was in debt to King Zi Guang, I still wish King Yi can allow me to have the honor of accommodating you in my little home.”

Zhong Yue shook, “It’s Imperial Emperor’s order, I am to safeguard the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, it is of utmost importance. I do not dare to delay for even a single second as if I do, things may go terribly wrong. If that happens, Sovereign Kun, will you be able to bear full responsibility?”

Sovereign Kun raised his hand and smirked, “King Yi, do not blame me for I am merely just paying back the debt I owed to King Zi Guang. His order, I do not dare to disobey. Imperial Emperor’s anger sure is beyond my capability to handle, but I need not worry as King Zi Guang will be taking the bullets. All I have to bear are minor scoldings from the Imperial Emperor. Thus, I hope King Yi may cease your resistance and follow me back. Just a few days will do!”

His hand grew bigger in their eyes and stars, moons, and suns started to appear in the center of his palm. It was as if his palm was a world itself, trying to capture all of the million gods into it!

Even if Zhong Yue resisted, he would just force him to stay!

Zhong Yue sneered coldly, he ordered “Chi Song, the scrolls!”

Chi Song heeded his command and gave a stern yell to his comrades. Bing Rong, Qiu Yi, Huo Rong, and the other Fuxi leaders immediately commanded their subordinates and formed into formations.

The Stone Sentinel Maze was a near Creator-level divine weapon and when cast at its strongest power, its overbearing energy shook the space around!

Sovereign Kun’s hand was halted for few seconds, but he laughed loudly and said, “King Yi, your Xian Tian Royal Guards are nothing to me, so why the resistance? I am, after all, a Creator; even though you were an innate god in your past life, you now are only a mere Heavenly Deity…”

“Heavenly Deity?” Zhong Yue laughed loudly while the eight scrolls of the Stone Sentinel Maze have been united together by Chi Song. It turned into huge array formation that covered a land of ten million miles wide with the gods becoming part of it.

Immediately, the Stone Sentinel Maze’s power skyrocketed into a Creator-level divine weapon!

For the first time, Sovereign Kun’s face has changed. With the eight scrolls coming together as one, it has changed into a Creator weapon. Furthermore, they were even able to cast this Creator weapon at its fullest strength.

The Stone Sentinel Maze stopped his hand from getting closer to them, it was the first time something like this happened.

One must know, the highest cultivation level that existed in the Xian Tian Royal Guards was Deity Overlord, who were more than inferior to a Creator like him. But the Stone Sentinel Maze cast by these gods were actually able to contend with his hand!?

“Sovereign Kun, I may just be a Heavenly Deity, but even Heavenly King Yanshi Xi was a casualty under my hands, what do you think of yourself compared to the Heaven Court’s Heavenly King Yanshi?”

Zhong Yue’s body swayed and an array formation emerged beneath his feet, formed by the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] and merging with the Stone Sentinel Maze. As a result, the [Innate Celestial Demon Tai Chi Eight Trigrams Art] was formed. With its emergence, Zhong Yue felt the boundless energy that flowed into his body, Zhong Yue couldn’t put into words of how terrifyingly abundant it was.

His body grew staunch, and standing above of the star rivers, he looked no less inferior to Sovereign Kun.

Sovereign Kun’s face changed drastically, he couldn’t hold any thought of looking down on his opponent anymore. Immediately, he surged all of his cultivation base and arcane energy in an all-out clash with Zhong Yue’s incoming palm.

A loud and muffled sound of explosion burst in their ears and Sovereign Kun groaned in pain. A mouthful of blood spurted out in space as he fell behind. His body shrunk smaller as he fell and finally, he crashed back into the Kun Peng Celestial Race’s sacred land.

Zhong Yue swung his sleeves and dispersed the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], his body shrunk back to its normal size and he alighted on his carriage before walking into it.

From the inside, Yin Fanxuan could be heard saying, “Sovereign Kun, my husband is the one who has earned the honorable title of Mister, even being appointed to safeguard the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture. He is not someone you can merely mess with. Stand down, and leave him untroubled.”

Chi Son, Bing Rong, and the others grew even more respectful toward Zhong Yue. With a single command from him to continue their expedition, they have executed it perfectly with no hesitations.

In the Kun Peng Celestial Race’s sacred land, Sovereign Kun leaped up and forced the residual blood out in his body from the mouth while his expressions were changing dramatically in shock and terror.

And in just seconds, the injuries that had been suppressed within have suddenly been triggered, causing him to vomit blood out from his mouth again and drops to the floor.

The Kun Peng experts were flustered and swarmed out to carry their grand ancestor on a stretcher and brings him to care.

“Quick, inform King Zi Guang of my inability to stop King Yi!” Sovereign Kun was coughing blood violently but still remembered to order his descendants on passing the word.

…

King Zi Guang has made it to the Human Sovereign Palace and saw Jiang Yiqi walking toward him in a hurry. The Human Sovereign exclaimed surprisingly in joy, “Senior martial brother, you finally had time to visit me!”

King Zi Guang asked at the first instant, “Where is the Imperial Emperor?”

“Left, two days ago.” Jiang Yiqi laughed, “We’re neighbors but the number of times we had a conversation over the recent years were so little that I can barely count. It’s hard for you to come by, no matter what you have in your hands today, you must stop here share a drink with me!”

King Zi Guang was dying to leave but he was afraid his rude departure would offend Jiang Yiqi. Thus, he smiled and answered, “Very well, a short moment then. But I cannot stay long, a few cups will be the most before I have to leave.”

The two sat down and Jiang Yiqi ordered his servants to prepare the wines. Rays flashed across King Zi Guang’s eyes as he tried, “Yiqi, you’ve requested for the Imperial Emperor’s presence in the Human Sovereign Palace, is there anything?”

“For the human’s Heavens. It is incomplete, lacking of the Six Paths Reincarnations, and so I wonder, if I can plead the Imperial Emperor’s help to complete it’s only flaw.”

Jiang Yiqi filled King Zi Guang’s cup and said, “You are valued most by the Imperial Emperor, help me persuade him please. The Imperial Emperor has declined my request, his reasoning was the completion of the human’s Heavens is heavily related to too many things. He cannot act against the whole universe’s will.”

King Zi Guang drank the wine and laughed, “Yiqi, do you know how many exactly are out there prying on the Imperial Emperor, waiting for him to make a mistake? At critical moments like this, I advise you to not bring him any more trouble. When the throne is claimed by the Imperial Monarch, I will personally plead him for you to create a whole new, flawlessly completed Heavens for you!”

Jiang Yiqi was overjoyed and thanked him nonstop.

To which, King Zi Guang was in clear discomfort, “You and I, our friendship, what need is there for you to thank me? So long as you stop every contact you had with Traitor Yi, I will help fulfill your dreams as much as possible.”

He finished another two cups of wine and excused himself. Jiang Yiqi too, didn’t try to hold him back and sent him off.

A dozen days went by, King Zi Guang had finally returned to Xian Tian Palace and met with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. Immediately upon getting in contact with him, King Zi Guang quickly said, “Imperial Emperor. It has been four months since King Yi left. He has brought an army of a million gods and the three Heavens granted to him by Imperial Emperor!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, “The three Heavens are gifted to him, it’s fine that he brings them away. After all, it is the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture that he is about to safeguard, I can’t give him nothing. In fact, I am worried that he has too little cards in hand, I plan to give him more resources.”

“His wife too, has been brought along by him. Does Imperial Emperor know about this?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian frowned, “He brought along the Yinkang Clan’s heavenly lady?”

King Zi Guang nodded.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian mulled and finally said, “King Yi, this isn’t a right move you make there. He is a smart man, he should know that to ease my mind, he will have to leave his wife behind. So why, why is he not doing that?”

“This is a traitorous fiend disguised as a loyal subject, but he has shown his evil wagging tails now!” King Zi Guang said, “Imperial Emperor, please give the order to have him leave behind his wife.”

“To send men to catch up to him now and ask him to leave his wife behind as a hostage, does this not clearly show my distrust upon him? Will he not hold any grudges upon this?” Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was hesitant.

King Zi Guang replied, “He is a smart man, saying that Madam Yi is needed to safeguard the Jin Yun Sacred Land will be more than sufficient for him. Do you think he will reject your orders?”

It was at this moment, a guard reported from the outside of the palace, “Master, King Yi’s messenger is awaiting to be summoned.”

A thought flashed into Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s mind and summoned the messenger. He was a human god who knelt lowly to the ground and said, “King Yi has ordered the humble servant to deliver a letter to Your Majesty.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian took over the letter, opened and read it. Then, he laughed and said, “Zi Guang, King Yi knows of your actions. This letter is not only his explanation letter, but also one that is filled with curses directed toward you.”

King Zi Guang stepped forth and took a peek on the letter’s contents. Immediately, shock and anger rushed into his heart and mind.

The letter read: “Your Majesty’s humble courtier only acted to bring Yin Fanxuan along with me because it’s been a long time since we last met. We have been separated most of the time, and I hope, I can accompany her more while I still can. More so, Yin Fanxuan is the Innate Saint Spirit Body, she is of great help to me.”

“Furthermore, even if rebellion is truly my hidden agenda, it is useless too for Your Majesty to hold her hostage. Killing her will only alienate you to Yinkang Clan . That said, even when kept as a hostage, she is no doubt, useless as one. Rather than keeping her in the box, Yin Fanxuan is a better helper alongside your humble servant in his mission. Together, we swear our loyalty to Your Majesty.”

Then, towards the end of the letter, Zhong Yue chided Zi Guang without holding back. Saying that he is the real traitor among them, because not only did he helped His Majesty, but even tried to kill those who truly did. That if Zhong Yue really did rebel, it’d all because of the treacherous Zi Guang who forced him with no options left. That he hoped that His Majesty could kill the true traitor.

As the end of the letter, it wrote so, “Your Majesty, please behead Traitor Zi and bestow it as a reward to your loyal subject here in the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture. With the traitor’s head, I will make it into a chamber pot and use it everyday to ease my anger!”

It was no surprise that King Zi Guang was furious, he had never felt this angry before.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian reduced the letter to atoms in his hands and laughed, “Zi Guang, be a little more magnanimous. He isn’t entirely unreasonable too. Furthermore, he is already halfway to the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, what sense does it make to summon him back at this time? Let him be.”

King Zi Guang grew despondent and felt helpless, he suddenly said, “If then, Imperial Emperor, you need not leave him unwatched. Please send another loyal men to be his assistant.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded and summoned Mu Suge, he said, “Head to the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, and aid King Yi in his mission.”

Mu Suge answered and left immediately.

“Dear, my legs are getting itchy again,” In the Kirin carriage, Yin Fanxuan said.
