Bit by bit, they were approaching the Heaven Suppression Fortress but Zhong Yue felt restless and uneasy the closer they got to the fortress.

Fanxuan warned me not to get into a relationship with other ladies now that I’m married to her and Hexi.

Zhong Yue’s expression was gloomy, Yet now, I’m bringing two more back home….

Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji saw Zhong Yue’s apprehensive face and the former immediately asked in concern, “What happened?”

“Nothing, just something wrong with my cultivation.”

He glanced at the two ladies as his head enlarged by a few inches again with more sweat dripping down it, And I did not even tell Wanjun, Yinji and the others about my status….

Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji became even more worried and frightened at his growing head while Hundun Yu stood in the corner, pretending he knew nothing while Xin Huo faked sleeping.

Will I become the next Xin Huo inheritor who will be killed by his wives…..

“Wanjun, Yinji, I need to tell you this…..”

In the end, Zhong Yue decided to confess, “I’ve already married someone in Zi Wei….”

In an instant, the ladies’ expression changed right away. Zhong Yue could already feel the anger burning strongly in them behind their silence.

With a cough, he continued, “I do not wish to keep you in the dark, I have two wives. Yin Fanxuan, the daughter of Yinkang Clan’s clan master, and Jin Hexi, apprentice to the ancient universe’s Celestial Monarch Jin Wu.”

He then recounted his encounter with Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi, how he was tricked into marrying Yin Fanxuan in the State of Heavenly River, the Dao discussion between him and Jin Hexi in the ancient universe, and Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s proposal for a marriage between them.

After that, he kept quiet and Yi Wanjun coldly replied, “And? I don’t see how these are related to me, I am not in a relationship with you, you can marry as many as you want.”

Shi Yinji on the other hand, giggled, “Then how strong are they? I can’t wait to compete with them! Wanjun, if I can’t win against them, you have to help me!”

“Don’t even think about it!” rebutted Yi Wanjun.

Shi Yinji then whispered, “Are you not angry at them for stealing our husband?”

With a slight hesitation, Yi Wanjun nodded under some kind of influence.

Seeing this, Zhong Yue’s head became three times bigger than his body, frightening Hundun Yu even more and Zhong Yue could be heard murmuring, “This is bad… this is bad! Xin Huo, help me!”

Meanwhile, they were slowly approaching the Heaven Suppression Fortress; it has been more than 60 years since Zhong Yue’s last departure from the fortress, throughout these years, Zhong Yue’s incarnations had been assisting Jin Hexi and Yin Fanxuan in the battle against the Heaven Court!

There had been more than a thousand battles, which turned the fortress into a meat grinder, one of the largest battlegrounds in the war for the throne and the first among the six; countless of lives writhed in this place.

Among the Heaven Court 36 army divisions, the Yu Lin Army was routed. The Heavenly River Navy Fleet as well as the Southern Heaven Gate’s four royal armies and four elite armies dispatched billions of soldiers and laid siege to the fortress for more than 10 years. But the Heavenly Suppression Fortress remained standing firmly.

Apart from Zhong Yue’s own troops, there was also the insect race army, Imperial Emperor Jiao Teng and Long Zhi also shone brightly in the battles.

Back then, when the Huangting clan’s monarch spirit descended from the Void World and entered its own monarch body, the spirit dominated the battlefield and that was when the two female Imperial Emperors showed their might; one immobilized the monarch spirit with her [Nine Tails Heavenly Dragon Locking] while the other planted down countless flesh-eating and soul-consuming insects that devoured the monarch corpse and the spirit!

Without the monarch corpse and spirit, Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Huangting Clan tasted ultimate defeat, swarmed by the endless insect races’ insect gods. Fortunately for them, the Panhu Clan and Huangting Clan’s monarch weapon were present to hold the line and Gui Youmin arrived in time with the Southern Heaven Gate’s four elite armies to save them from a total wipeout.

However, Gui Youmin also failed at taking down the fortress. Long Zhi and Jiao Teng were both old rivals of Gui Youmin, both sides devised countless plots against each other and clashed ferociously.

What Jin Hexi and Yin Fanxuan could do was just assist the two Imperial Emperors, and that was the same for Zhong Yue’s incarnations.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had a wide circle of connections, which attracted gods of unique powers and capabilities to join his forces while the Heaven Court was known to produce great talents. The new powers that both sides gained were immediately put into use.

Among them, Feng Xiaozhong stood out the most. In just a few battles, he captured powerful foes like they were all herbs waiting to be harvested in the plantation, shocking both sides as he also walked away safe and sound from Gui Youmin’s assassination attempt!

But Feng Xiaozhong was still himself, the zealous Dao seeker who captured the Innate War Spirit Body, and three other different innate spirit bodies for experimental purposes, researching them for a few years before finally releasing them.

After regaining their freedom, these four Deity Emperors were still traumatized and undoubtedly lost their minds whenever they saw Feng Xiaozhong again.

Meanwhile, after failing to strike the fortress down for such a long time, Gui Youmin brought in all the Guishen Clan in this universe.

As the Ghost Sovereign, with just an order, the powerful Guishen Clan marched out from Hell’s Reincarnation from all sacred grounds right towards Heaven Suppression Fortress.

The Guishen Clan was also known as the Weishen Clan, whose characteristics were their body stood in between real and void, and their powerful Yuan Shen. These characteristics worked terrifyingly powerful against the insect races whose shells were all made of divine gold, granting the shells immense durability and defense, allowing the insect races to take on divine weapons and demonic weapons without flinching.

Besides, given how rapid they reproduce and their shady attack patterns, they proved themselves formidable against the Heaven Court’s army, claiming the lives of many soldiers. Whereas the Guishen Clan’s talent allowed them to bypass the insect gods’ tough shells and even Imperial Emperor Jiao Teng was injured badly!

After defeating the insect races, Gui Youmin pressed forward, only to run into Jin Hexi’s reinforcements, who routed over hundreds of thousands of the Guishen Clan with the Golden Crow’s attack.

Gui Youmin then stationed the Southern Heaven Gate’s four royal armies to deal with Jin Hexi while Zhong Yue’s incarnations, who observed the battle, focused on advising Jin Hexi and telling her what they observed; after clashing with each other for more than hundred times, Gui Youmin failed to break the Golden Crow formation.

Yin Fanxuan then hurled Bi An out, luring the Southern Heaven Gate’s four royal commanders away from the army. Without them, the Southern Heaven Gate’s four royal armies lost their commanders, leading them to act on their own without any proper commands and hence, they suffered heavy losses before Jin Hexi’s army, leaving Gui Youmin with no other choice but to request for more reinforcements from the Heaven Court.

At the same time, the Heaven Suppression Fortress also requested more men from Xian Tian Palace and their request was granted; endless soldiers, including the Juling Clan, marched into the Heaven Suppression Fortress to join Zhong Yue’s army.

The Heaven Court’s Imperial Granary also supplied the frontline with enormous supplies while both sides continued battling each other, entering a stalemate, and so they decided to intercept and harass each other’s supply convoy.

This lasted for a few years and finally stopped when the other four elite armies arrived. With that, more than billions soldiers were reinforced into the battlefield, the frontline was over a thousand miles long, and monarch weapons were stationed at all strategic points, turning the Heaven Suppression Fortress into a graveyard that buried countless lives.

Gui Youmin was an old enemy of Long Zhi and Jiao Teng, they were all very familiar with each other’s strengths and weaknesses. After years of prolonged war, Gui Youmin too, gotten nervous after failing to take down the fortress and he immediately reported this to the Heavenly Monarch to request for more aid.

And when Zhong Yue arrived at the fortress, the reinforcements from Heaven Court arrived at the same time.

Zhong Yue looked towards the front and the Heaven Court’s army camps blocked off even the sunlight, shadowing over the entire area of land around them.

This time, the Heaven Court sent only three people, and Zhong Yue’s heart thumped upon seeing those three. He quickly moved the ancient ship into the fortress from the void, avoiding the seals keeping his arrival a secret to everyone.

Though there were only three people, Zhong Yue still felt immense pressure coming from them.

Among those three were two old men, Old Man Xuan and Qi, one carried a furnace behind him and the other carrying the smithing tools!

And the other one was Heavenly Monarch’s other strategist, Mo Yin!

From the looks of it, Old Man Xuan and Qi seemed to pose more threat to the fortress but in truth, Mo Yin was the real threat!

With a serious and dense expression, Zhong Yue and his companions unboarded the ancient ship while the ancient ship was hidden away in the dimension.

In the King’s Palace, the many generals and commanders were all present in the hall, discussing on the planning of their armies and many of them were stranger to Zhong Yue; these were all the powerful ones Imperial Emperor Xian Tian recruited and after some time, Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi walked out from the King’s Palace after the generals and commanders were dismissed, only to find Zhong Yue standing at the entrance, smiling at them.

Though excited and happy at his return, the duo still managed to keep their cool and Yin Fanxuan smiled, “Darling, you’ve finally returned!”

“Thank goodness I returned in time. I saw Old Man Xuan and Qi and Mo Yin just now, their arrival will bring quite an impact to the fortress soon.”

“Old Man Xuan and Qi?”

Yin Fanxuan’s expression changed right away as the name reminded her of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Bell, which instilled fear into her with their smithing skills even after she managed to break Nine Dragon Divine Fire Bell.

“Old Man Xuan and Qi are not that dangerous to us, it is Mo Yin who will be giving us the most problem. He is the other strategist serving Heavenly Monarch.” said Zhong Yue, “Mo Yin possesses one of the three great almanacs of Fuxi Celestial Race, the Almanac of Fate that could steal one’s fate and he is even more capable than Gui Youmin. His presence here means absolutely nothing good to Heaven Suppression Fortress, he may not be as capable as me but he is still very dangerous, not to mention that the Almanac of Fate possesses mysterious abilities that I do not possess.”

“Almanac of Fate?”

The two ladies frowned and Yin Fanxuan asked, “Why don’t we have Senior Martial Brother Feng assassinate him. His skills are all mysterious and unpredictable so he probably has a way to kill Mo Yin!”

Zhong Yue however, smiled and carefully said, “Let’s put that aside first. My two dear darlings, let me introduce you to my old friends, Wanjun and Yinji.”

Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji walked out right away and Shi Yinji giggled, “Greetings, sisters.”

Before they walked out, Yi Wanjun had returned to her female attire and she smiled, “Nice to meet you, sisters.”

Upon seeing the two ladies, Yin Fanxuan and Jin Hexi’s expression turned cold in an instant, they both looked at Zhong Yue and Jin Hexi smiled dangerously, “Darling, why don’t you explain to us why we suddenly have two more sisters?”

Without flinching, Zhong Yue shamelessly said, “Back when I was still in the lower realms, before knowing you two, I once got into a relationship with them. I met them again this time and …”

“And you got back together?” said Jin Hexi as she clenched her fists.

“Darling, where are your incarnations?” smiled Yin Fanxuan on the other hand.

Zhong Yue hurriedly summoned his incarnations to the scene, only to have them all killed by Yin Fanxuan in a blink of an eye as she shouted angrily, “I told you not to chase after the ladies from the outside, why can’t you listen to me! Why can’t you!”

Cold sweat dripped down from Zhong Yue’s forehead and he watched in fear as his wife killed his incarnations.

“Ah, better.”

Yin Fanxuan clapped her hands and smiled towards Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji, “Sisters, to be honest, there is a rule everyone should abide by in order to enter the Zhong Family. Come with me.”

The confused Zhong Yue quickly asked Jin Hexi, “Rule? What rule?”

Jin Hexi smiled, “When I enter the family, I got bashed up by the official wife, forced to recognize her as the main wife. The two sisters here are going to have to go through some challenges now.”
