Divine Brilliance

Also that night…

Within Blood Valley, a wobbling shadow was swiftly rushing through the wilderness and towards the Demon Corpse Mountain.

A black silk shirt hung over him and was covered in blood. His face was hidden within a black mist. So travelling, his image was really uncertain.

His body stabilized as he suddenly looked into the distance. A thousand feet out, a bangle lay quietly in the bushes.

One could actually hear faint cries spreading out from within it.

The eyes within the black mist was filled with shock. He hesitated for a short while before rushing over and picking up the bangle.

The item immediately started to shake and struggle, like it wanted to break out of his control. The black shirt man gave out a cold laugh, a drop of blood dripping on the bangle. He started travelling swiftly and disappeared into the giant mountain in the distance.

—

An instant after that man left, a golden light suddenly rushed over to this area, stopping and hanging in the sky above.

It was an impressive thing, a really beautiful flying sword. Its body was gold and had numerous gems embedded into it, a truly eye-catching sight.

The person on top of the sword was a little fat. He was dressed in a gold robe made up of many golden threads. Two pudgy ears and a total of six earrings dangled down, similarly embedded with many gems. At his waist was a pure white jade belt, and on his ten fingers were ten jewelled rings.

He was similar to the sword beneath him, shining gold, sending off an aura of riches.

Looking in the direction of the Demon Corpse Mountain, the gold-shirted fat man’s face showed some hesitation and unwillingness. He laughed coldly.

“Count yourself lucky, actually escaping into Demon Corpse Mountain. To be able to escape from Jin Buhui you do have some ability. Let’s hope we do not meet in the future…”

He scoffed with a lot of majesty before he guided the sword to leave. Suddenly his attention was caught as he looked a hundred miles away.

“What a strong Yin energy, dark clouds gathering and not dissipating, like there’s something evil there. That’s weird, it shouldn’t be time for that thing within the Demon Corpse Mountain to appear.”

Without any hesitation, he turned into a golden light and rode towards where the dark fog was rumbling. In an instant he crossed ten miles, and in just fifteen minutes he arrived at the peak of the mountain.

Jin Buhui instantly took in a deep cold breath.

“Nine Yin veins, how is this possible? How can there be nine Yin veins gathered up near the Demon Corpse Mountain? No wonder the Yin energy here is so strong. A vengeful energy around, unless there is a vengeful spirit or evil corpse over here, how can such a weird situation occur…”

He looked around and in just a moment he found the source of the anomaly.

“Senior Sister Gong Xinran’s tomb, blood patterns appearing on the tombstone, what a strong vengeful energy. Before she died she must have gone through terrible things. Eh? Something isn’t right, the talismans around here are also weird!”

Taking a close look, Jin Buhui’s lips twisted as he couldn’t help but scold, “Which jerk did this? All the vengeful energy had dissipated, but he chose to bury her in this Nine Yin land! Also which spirit master passed down this talisman formation? What a good moonlight evil chasing formation drawn into such a manner. Chasing evil end up becoming gathering evil, moonlight becoming dark moon! Did you want to scare away evil or create a Nine Ying Spiritual Corpse? What did your teacher teach you, what an idiot! You actually couldn’t see the Yin veins along this place, but if you didn’t draw this formation nothing would have happened. That’s not right! Dark moon gathering evil, along with these nine ying veins, and this corpse’s wishes have been completed, vengeful energy left in the body, it’s a perfect fit for zombies to be created! Furthermore it is the Nine Ying Witch Reincarnation. Bastard, I have never heard of something like this!…”

He muttered in a low tone, cold sweat beads appeared on his face, which was starting to turn ashen white.

Suddenly he moved his golden sword upwards, only to see that within the clouds numerous lightning bolts had exploded up and slowly gathered, like there was a person hiding within.

Jin Buhui’s sweat was like a fountain as it flowed unstoppably. That golden sword didn’t dare to fly forwards an inch.

This formation, this tomb, this Nine Ying Gathering situation; he actually couldn’t break it and didn’t dare to break it.

After hesitating slightly, the fat man in gold decisively kept his sword and laughed softly, 　waving his sleeves as he turned and left.

“Forget it! Anyways, it will take nine years for this Nine Ying Witch to appear. I, Jin Buhui ain’t too good at this evil dispelling thing, so why should I risk my life over it? I should wait for the future to invite those daoists over. However, if I have a chance I really want to meet the person who did this….”

The veins in his hand suddenly swelled, the blood vessels on his neck instantly grew several times in size.

“…I really want to kill him now!”

——–

At the city gate of Cloud Saint City, Zong Shou suddenly felt a chill down his spine, like a strong intense killing intent had spread through the air.

His eyebrow furrowed in surprise, looking around him. As they say, when there are too many fleas, one isn’t afraid of it being itchy. There were too many people who had killing intent towards him, and he couldn’t be bothered to care.

When Chuxue and he had left the city, they had disguised themselves, so they did the same when they entered.

However they couldn’t bring the Rising Moon Lion into the city. Luckily, the beast was best at staying hidden. Distancing itself from the city, it wasn’t easy for people to notice it. With its Grade Four strength, unless one was a Xiantian master, they couldn’t do much to it.

Still at night, they returned back to the manor arranged for them by the Cloud Saint City City Lord. Not long after entering through the backdoor, Zong Shou saw Yin Yang was in a horse stance within the courtyard. His body was moving rhythmically, the bones in his body giving out a crisp sound like popcorn popping, his face filled with worry and a little helplessness.

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up as he praised, “Not bad! Even when you reach the Xiantian Realm you didn’t forget about your basics. Uncle Yin’s hard work would definitely help you ascend in the future..”

Yin Yang was slightly astonished, jumping up and walking over joyfully. After bowing, he took a close look at Zong Shou.

Zong Shou’s aura was more reserved and hidden, no different from a normal person. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Prince, is the Blood Valley matter completed? Was that Lightning Phoenix egg truly there? I shouldn’t have agreed with you, and should have just followed along!”

“I spent so much time analyzing and researching this matter so how could I be wrong? If you left most people would be able to guess that I am not here!”

Zong Shou didn’t beat around the bush, seeing the shock and some disbelief on Yin Yang’s face. Just as he wanted to talk about his progress in cultivation, his brow furrowed, looking forwards, “Uncle Yin, there’s someone in the hall?”

A difficult expression settled across Yin Yang’s face. “Miss Yiren has come here looking for Prince three times in these two days. I tried my best to delay the matter, saying that you would deal with it when you return, but this time she wasn’t willing to leave, like she is determined to see you…”

Zong Shou realized his fiancee was waiting within the hall…
