Shi Yinji’s eyes blinked, she wrapped her arms around Yi Wanjun’s arms and giggled, “We sisters would very much like to know about the Zhong Family’s rule! In fact, back then when we were enjoying our time with darling, where was Goddess Xuan? Back then, there wasn’t any rule in the Zhong Family! Isn’t that right, darling?”

Hearing this, the headache Zhong Yue had intensified tenfold.

Meanwhile, Shi Yinji dragged Yi Wanjun with her as she followed Yin Fanxuan into the back garden, “Wanjun, let’s team up later and teach this main wife a lesson! After teaching her a lesson, we will snatch the main wife position from her and you can take her place, I am more than willing to have a lower position than you!”

Yi Wanjun shook her head and said, “No, I won’t be the main wife or the mistress, I have no relationship with this man but I will still help you because you are my best friend.”

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, blinked his eyes, he knew that Shi Yinji and Yi Wanjun were both confident right now after cultivating Great Monarch Zao Hua’s [Creation and Evolution Mystical Art] and obtaining two innate weapons.

But how was it possible for them to understand the main wife’s strength?

One should know that as the Innate Saint Spirit Body, even Zhong Yue couldn’t beat her easily.

After some time, Yin Fanxuan returned, with Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji following behind her disheartedly. Jin Hexi giggled right away upon seeing this, “Come on sisters, don’t be so down, even darling can’t guarantee he can win against Sister Xuan.”

The two ladies had a scare and Yi Wanjun shouted, “Is this Sister Xuan one of the two that could take on your dual sabers at the same level?”

Zhong Yue nodded.

Shi Yinji immediately looked towards Jin Hexi and exclaimed, “and the other one is this Sister Xi?”

With slight hesitation, Zhong Yue shook and brushed off the topic, “You will meet her, eventually…”

The four ladies exchanged a glance and they were all puzzled.

Outside of the fortress, in the central camp, Gui Youmin, Lou Zhengshi, Pan Ji, Ting Daoji and the others were all present and they were all looking at Old Man Xuan and Qi and Mo Yin.

Old Man Xuan and Qi sat there without moving a finger, eyes closed and said not a single word.

Gui Youmin raised his brows slightly and said, “Mister Mo, His Majesty only sent three of you? I’m not doubting Old Man Xuan and Qi but you, I don’t think you have the capability to take down the Heavenly Suppression Fortress.”

Mo Yin quickly smiled back, “Prime Minister is right, I definitely am not strong enough to take down the fortress so I’ll need Prime Minister and everyone’s help. His Majesty sent me here to help Prime Minister to…..”

“Help me?”

Gui Youmin smiled, “I see no need for this, Old Man Xuan and Qi will be more than enough.”

Mo Yin hurriedly said again, “Prime Minister, the fate of the Heavenly Suppression Fortress is very strong. But just now, its fate intensified quickly, showing signs of newly appeared powerful foes or weapons. In my opinion, it is best not to have Old Man Xuan and Qi out on the field right now, I fear that they might be ambushed.”

“Hmph! If you are not sent by His Majesty, I would have executed you for what you said just now! What nonsense fate? Are you here to disrupt our morale! Old Man Xuan and Qi! Let us welcome your arrival with a banquet and by tomorrow, we would like to have both of you to smith a powerful weapon that can cut down the foes in Heavenly Suppression Fortress!”

Lou Zhengshi, Ting Daoji, and the others, on the other hand, glanced at each other and continued to drink silently; they were not willing to speak for Mo Yin as they did not wish to offend Gui Youmin.

They too, knew that the two strategists were not on good terms, Gui Youmin had always been humiliating Mo Yin and even though Mo Yin was a man of good temper, he was still a human.

Old Man Xuan and Qi smiled, “Good. Good.”

On the next day, Gui Youmin ordered the soldiers to get into their formations, surrounding the Old Man Xuan and Qi while they both set up the furnace and prepared the tools for weapon smithing.

“This is the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]!”

Long Zhi, Jiao Teng, and the others quickly rushed into King’s Palace to meet with Zhong Yue and the others. In no time, the many Deity Emperors, Creators amounted to thousands, including the Juling Clan and Yinkang Clan’s Imperial Emperors. There were also the many individuals with special talents recruited by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

Long Zhi frowned, “The [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] is Old Man Xuan and Qi’s ultimate art. Even the Imperial Emperor once struggled against it. Now that Old Man Xuan and Qi are smithing right outside, the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] will echo right into the fortress, pulling everyone of us into their [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] in order to find out our weaknesses to craft weapons that completely tackle our weaknesses!”

Yin Fukang who was affected heavily by the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] added, “I have a very bad feeling about this, the weapon created from the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation] will probably kill me as well!”

The many Deity Emperors, Creators and Imperial Emperors nodded as they all had a similar feeling.

Not long later, the only Innate War Spirit Body Deity Emperor in the fortress shouted, “The weapon that counters me is created! I can feel a dangerous intent locking onto me and there is no escaping from it!”

Jiao Teng immediately activated a mirror and the scene right outside the fortress was shown in the mirror; the two old men had already crafted a divine weapon that took the form of a steel gourd.

After crafting this weapon, they quickly returned to creating the second divine weapon, intimidating those within the fortress.

Ling Zheng, the second in command in Juling Clan thought for a second and said, “So this is the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]? We can’t let them continue this or we will all die in the end! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say? Any way to stop the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]? Without [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation], the Old Man Xuan and Qi will not be able to craft weapons that tackle our weaknesses!”

Everyone exchanged a glance and they all shook in disappointment.

Long Zhi added, “In order to break the [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation], we will have to break it through the Dao voice but we don’t have any weapons like bells or drums. Even if we did, there is no way it could fight against their hammer and furnace.”

Her words reminded Zhong Yue of the Drum of Dusk but he couldn’t reveal Drum of Dusk or the Heavenly Prison will know about this right away and find out that he was the one who sneaked into the ancient continental!

Suddenly, a Creator’s face turned pale as he tremblingly said, “I’m done for! The weapon that will kill me is also done!”

Yin Fukang stood up right away and shouted, “Ready our men and we will strike now! Old Man Xuan and Qi must be stopped in this instant!”

The generals stood up right away, prepared to get their men readied even though they knew that Gui Youmin had anticipated this and was waiting for their arrival. This would be a bloodied fight and they might even lose!

“Halt!”

Yin Fanxuan halted everyone and said, “Let’s wait for the lord’s command, what do you think, darling?”

Zhong Yue kept calm and he smiled suddenly, “Let them be and we shall decide after a few days. Prepare yourselves for a fierce battle, you will all be needed somewhere a few days later.”

Everyone was left confused and they had not even the slightest idea to what Zhong Yue was up to.

“I’m going to head out there and meet Old Man Xuan and Qi.”

“I’ll come with you!” said Yin Fukang right away.

“Me too.” smiled Long Zhi.

Zhong Yue nodded and they headed to the fortress’ gates before they passed the Star River and stopped at the opposite of the river.

On the walls, countless soldiers emerged, all prepared to charge down to protect their master and fleets after fleets of warships sailed out, all readied to start a war.

On the opposite, Gui Youmin, Lou Zhengshi and the others were also ready to start a war.

Zhong Yue however, shouted, “Ghost Master, Brother Lou, calm yourselves, there is no need to be so nervous. I’m here only to speak with Old Man Xuan and Qi, I come as a friend! Old Man Xuan and Qi, do you still remember the little bet between us?”

Old Man Xuan and Qi looked at Zhong Yue and Xuan Sou smiled, “We do. We lost the bet against the talented King Yi who also earned our respect.”

Zhong Yue smiled back, “I plan on exchanging ideas of weapon forging with both of you this time. If I come forth, I suppose you wouldn’t kill me?”

Old Man Xuan and Qi exchanged a look and they both happily said, “A good friend is hard to find and a good friend who has the same hobby as ours is even harder to find! King Yi, please!”

Gui Youmin shouted right away, “King Yi, there is of course not a problem for you all to share your knowledge but why are the two brats following behind you?”

“Who are you calling a brat, you old dog!” shouted an angry Yin Fukang.

Gui Youmin smirked, “Who else other than you and the old woman Long Zhi!”

Yin Fukang burst out laughing, “These two brats are of course here to beat up the old dog Gui Youmin!”

“Father, Senior Martial Sister Long Zhi, stay here while I meet with Old Man Xuan and Qi. Don’t worry, they wouldn’t harm me at the moment.”

Yin Fukang and Long Zhi hesitated and they quickly whispered, “What if, what if they hurt you?”

Zhong Yue rebutted, “If they said that I am a Dao friend, they wouldn’t hurt me. Even if they want to kill me, they will be doing through their expertise by forging a weapon specifically only to kill me so that their skill wouldn’t be put to waste and that I die reasonably.”

Old Man Xuan and Qi praised right away, “Brilliant words, King Yi! Worry not, we will not hurt him meanwhile and not only us, Left Prime Minister and the others will not do anything to King Yi at the meantime!”

Old Man Xuan and Qi laughed, “We will defeat King Yi fair and square today!”

Zhong Yuye walked up right away and greeted them both.

The two old men bowed back at him and the trio started talking to each other happily. Metal clacking noise sounded as Zhong Yue helped to keep the furnace burning and they exchanged smithing experience happily.

In the fortress, the many generals’ expression changed right away at this scene for they all felt weapons tackling their weaknesses were created and their end was near.

In only two days, hundreds of divine weapons were forged.

Another hundred weapons were created two days later.

Zhong Yue and Old Man Xuan and Qi continued like this for ten days and there was a total of 600 divine weapons forged!

Zhong Yue stopped right after that and smiled, “Senior martial brothers, have you thought about my offer? Are you willing to surrender and serve me?”

Old Man Xuan and Qi smiled back, “We also said that we will only smith for the Heavenly Monarch, if you are the Heavenly Monarch, we will definitely serve you!”

“How about a bet?”

Zhong Yue proposed, “Let’s have another bet. I bet that the weapons you created will not kill a single god in my fortress and if you lose the bet, come and smith for me.”

The two old men stared at Zhong Yue, “And what if King Yi loses?”

“Then my generals will all be killed.”

“No.”

Old Man Xuan and Qi said, “If King Yi wishes to bet, then you will have to bet with us a divine weapon we can not forge! If you lose, then you will teach us the way to forge this weapon we can not forge! Deal?”

“Deal!”

Shouted Zhong Yue right away.
