Chapter 3403 -1691: Offending Inferiors and Superiors Alike Is an Offense, Disrespecting Saints, Emperors, and Present Gods and Buddhas_3𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

To this point…

Everyone could see it clearly.

On the surface, Lord Shou seemed to be burning, killing, plundering—committing all kinds of heinous acts.

In truth, he hadn’t directed the Arrow of Evil Sin Bow into densely populated, prosperous cities.

At most, he’d flash by, merely to startle Ai Cangsheng.

Yet Ai Gou wasn’t frightened. Left with no choice, Lord Shou could only take the Arrow of Evil Sin Bow and run off toward the desolate, uninhabited desert.

Both men were mindful.

Neither wished to unleash a bloody massacre.

So then, why were two who clearly bore hearts of compassion locked in combat?

The Struggle for the Great Path! Such helplessness! Such inevitability! The Struggle for the Great Path… Feng Zhongzui, merely a player in the grand game, stood apart and understood it all most clearly.

…

“Good!”

In the Dao Imparting Mirror’s frame, Lord Shou clutched Ah Si’s head single-handedly, his expression turning faintly enraged as he gazed upon the Arrow of Evil Sin Bow:

“Since this person isn’t of any use to you, then I’ll gladly take him off your hands…”

Just as everyone thought the furious Lord Shou would crush the man’s head, something entirely unexpected occurred.

“Meow~”

To everyone’s shock, the enraged Lord Shou imitated a cat’s cry in full view.

What was going on?

Feng Zhongzui’s face contorted into a look of unparalleled terror—more horrifying than witnessing the emergence of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

Had Lord Shou also been controlled?

The hunter who stalked geese was now pecked by one. Yet in this world, who could exert control over Lord Shou?

“Has the Hallmaster Dao, unfathomable to both gods and ghosts, returned?”

Feng Zhongzui could only arrive at this suspicion, exhaling his doubt aloud.

Soon, he realized something was amiss. Following the feline cry, Lord Shou’s form began to shift.

Three bloody streaks emerged upright upon his brow, and nine fluffy white tails unfurled swiftly behind him.

“Ghost Beast Morph Forms!”

In that instant, long-buried memories reawakened. Feng Zhongzui recalled the vision of a Nine-Tailed Giant looming over Jade Capital City.

Except now, Lord Shou didn’t transform into a giant. Instead, within his human form, he summoned the spirit attachment of Greedy the Cat Spirit.

“What does he want to do?”

The answer was revealed almost immediately.

Ghost Beast-morphed Lord Shou, standing firm upon the Spatial Upanishad, continued shifting across battlefields. As his eyes shut briefly before reopening…

The vertical slit of his feline pupil splintered into the flow of three subtly shifting gray-spotted flowers!

Buzz!

Feng Zhongzui felt a sharp pang in his skull and nearly froze in shock.

“The Three Loathsome Eyes!”

“The Three Loathsome Eyes of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man!”

“The very Three Loathsome Eyes that completely and thoroughly subdued demi-saints Qin Duan and Qiu Gu—with agonizing inevitability… Lord Shou possesses them as well?”

After calming himself, Feng Zhongzui observed more closely.

Why did Lord Shou first access his Ghost Beast Morph Form before activating the Three Loathsome Eyes?

It was merely to deal with a simple demi-saint. Why go through the elaborate trouble of awakening the Three Loathsome Eyes?

“I understand now!”

“Of course—the Three Loathsome Eyes once manifested in Greedy the Cat Spirit. When Lord Shou contracted the ghost beast, he inherited its Engulfing Power… and also its Lei Family’s Eyes.”

“Wait—why would the Lei Family’s Eyes appear on Greedy the Cat Spirit? Could its full name be ‘Lei Greedy the Cat Spirit’?”

Feng Zhongzui slapped himself across the face, shaking off his chaotic thoughts. He pointed at the trembling demi-saint and declared:

“Lord Shou probably wants to ask him something!”

Indeed, the truth was now evident.

Activating the Three Loathsome Eyes, Xu Xiaoshou was clearly enraged at Ai Gou’s response.

Before the spectators of this world, he sought to extract something from Ah Si—answers possibly unattainable from the Five Decays of Heaven and Man but known to Ah Si!

The effects of the Li Country Blade were long gone.

Ah Si, regaining his senses, raised his eyes to face the eerie gaze of those swirling three gray-spotted flowers. His body trembled violently.

Just let me die…

The thought flashed across his mind, yet immediately, it felt as though his very soul had been forcibly stripped away.

Boom!!!

The Arrow of Evil Sin Bow accelerated.

But Xu Xiaoshou’s spatial shifting speed also ramped up.

“Distance” “chasing” “without distance”—how could it possibly be caught?

The electrifying life-and-death speed chase ignited the Five Domains into a frenzy. All eyes burned with fervor, locked upon the comparatively still moment centering around the Three Loathsome Eyes and the Truth Bureau.

Lord Shou radiated serenity.

Ah Si, spasming violently, emanated a strange tranquility.

“What is your name, meow?”

“Ah Si… Yue Gongsi…”

“What is your identity, meow?”

“Cold Palace Emperor Realm… Cold Palace Holy Emperor… Shadow…”

…

Can this be broadcast?

Can this really go live?

Lord Shou was meowing again…

Er—no, it’s this Ah Si—why was he answering truthfully?

If this continues, won’t I surely perish?

Feng Zhongzui’s trembling hand betrayed his growing panic. He didn’t want to bring ruin upon the Feng Family.

Yet his raised hand, stubbornly stiffened, refused to drop the focused lens of the Dao Imparting Mirror. All he could do was wail in desperation:

“Lord Shou, have mercy on me…”

…

Lord Shou, meow—you absolutely must not spare Feng Zhongzui!

Spectators across the Five Domains leaned forward, their attention reaching a razor-sharp focus. They prayed for the audacious and reckless Lord Shou—wishing his indomitable spirit would remain unbroken in this crucial moment.

Ai Cangsheng had already fallen silent.

Perhaps he was contemplating more profound matters, yet for the rest of us, we desperately need these answers.

Lord Shou!

You are the wild and unrestrained Lord Shou!

If you falter out of arrogance for even a moment, I will look down on you.

If you possess the strength to uphold your pride for a lifetime, we will revere you.

“What is ‘shadow pig’? Lord Shou, ask this for me!”

“What is the relationship between Yue Gongsi and Yue Gongli? I want to know!”

“Could you ask about Yue Gongnu’s condition? Is she still okay? She was so beautiful it inspired awe—I dared not desecrate her. Back then, I only dared to glance at her from afar, not even stepping up to greet her… Ah, curse Bazhun’an.”

…

Shadow?

The shadow of Hua Changdeng—Hua Yuan—was it similar to the identity of the figure mentioned in Yue Gongli’s words regarding Divine Relics?

Indeed, Elder Dao the Flamboyant had touched upon this.

It seemed that Yue Gongli was once a shadow of Yue Gongnu but later defied fate and overthrew his elder sister.

“What is a shadow?” Xu Xiaoshou probably understood its meaning. He asked the question for the Five Domains.

“Shadow… is ‘Shadow of the Holy Emperor’… responsible for the Holy Emperor Family… internal affairs…”

“Oh? So you understand the Cold Palace Emperor Realm, even the Five Great Holy Emperor Aristocratic Families, and their creation of the ‘Cage Theory’ for the Five Domains, as well as Bei Huai’s ‘Ghost Beast Red Dress’ plan, do you?”

“Yes…”

“What do you know?”

“I… know… everything…”

Unnoticed by all.

The Arrow of Evil Sin Bow had come to a halt.
