Spirit Vessel

The turtle and Bi Ningshuai were running for their lives with a group of corpses right behind them. Who knows what immoral thing they did to deserve this karma?

Feiyun unleashed an ocean of flames and turned the corpses to ashes, saving those two in the nick of time.

“The Ji is indeed a treasure-seeking clan, so damn rich.” The turtle heaved for breath. Its stomach was completely bloated. It must have eaten so many things in the Ji’s treasury since it had a white glow around it.

Long Cangyue grimaced. She took out her spirit sword, wanting to make mincemeat out of them.

Bi Ningshuai shouted and immediately jumped back to dodge: “We only took the spirit stones because the other treasures have been taken by the experts from Yin and Yang already. See, if we don’t take the stones, others would anyway.”

“Feiyun told us to do it, he’s the real mastermind.” The turtle spilled.

“So how many stones were in there?” Feiyun asked.

“Plenty, comparable to an ancient sect’s treasury. 100,000 spirit stones.” Bi Ningshuai and the turtle revealed.

They took out one pouch each containing 50,000 spirit stones, 100,000 in total.

Feiyun took the pouches before smirking. He then grabbed the turtle’s tail and lifted it up backward.

So many stones dropped from the shell along with spirit medicines and alchemy materials, enough to make a little mound. There were at least 80,000 stones.

Feiyun tossed the turtle away before taking out three pouches from Ningshuai. Inside were more stones and treasures along with beast souls, three times more than the turtle.

“Motherfucker, didn’t you say you only hid 70,000 stones? That’s at least 150,000 stones.” The turtle angrily glared at Ningshuai.

“You also said that you don’t care about money, that it’s nothing more than trash. Only some spirit medicines will do. What about those stones then?” Ningshuai barked back.

The two of them began fighting about their hidden spoils. Meanwhile, Feiyun took all of the stones.

The Ji was once comparable to the four great clans. Though it had declined, the several thousand years of accumulation was still ample, more than many other clans.

“Boom!” A gray ray flew to this area. This person had a massive aura and continued heading deeper into the city. He was carrying the corpse of the Ji Clan Master.

Bi Ningshuai and the turtle who were fighting each other stopped, frightened by this aura.

“It’s him.” The turtle’s voice became sentimental.

“The skin thing?” Feiyun said.

“Yes, I took care of it back then.” The turtle nodded.

Feiyun felt like the turtle was asking for a beating but refrained. He carefully consolidated his stealth formations, removing all ripples from the air.

Though he had the four garments, it was still dangerous for him to fight against the first Venerable of Yang. The thing was truly powerful.

“There are still more treasures in there?” Ningshuai had already gathered the fallen treasures in no time at all while gazing deeper into the city. It was shrouded by something, perhaps it really had amazing treasures.

“They’re going for the Spirit Treasure Scripture, most likely.” Cangyue answered.

Next, two more powerful characters headed over towards that direction.

One of them was a fiend with three heads and six arms. Each head had a golden eye on the forehead.

The other was an Abnormality with a human head and a lion body, completely shrouded in flame.

“These two monsters are here too? I thought they were dead, damn.” The turtle said.

“They look like badasses, I feel that they can’t be weaker than the first Venerable.” Ningshuai gave up on stealing the scripture.

“The first one is called Godfiend in the Yin World, living in the divine mountain there reclusively for several thousand years. Everyone assumed that its soul was dead. This is an overlord not under the jurisdiction of the Yin Mother since it’s even older.” The turtle said.

“The Abnormality is their king, the strongest of their kind. It has lived for a very long time, needing 10,000 years just to become an adult. The Yang King doesn’t dare to destroy it so it keeps the regal title, a testament to its power.”

“Boom!” A loud explosion detonated as if space had been destroyed. Shockwaves emanated from the impact point and rushed all over the place.

Feiyun rushed to the front and activated the five diagrams in his ring only to barely stop the waves.

Deeper in the city, an old man wearing a purple robe floated to the sky. He had gray hair and an elderly voice: “Your worlds think we don’t have anyone capable?”

One of Godfiend’s heads was a beautiful woman. She spoke: “Who are you? The Ji doesn’t have someone as strong as you around.”

The old man didn’t say anything and took out an extremely-common looking saber.

“They have declined long ago and don’t have any real masters!” The King of Abnormality spewed out an ocean of yellow lightning bolts.

The old man slashed forward and exchanged more than ten moves with the king. This ended with him being able to sever the Abnormality’s tail.

The creature bellowed in pain. Its cry echoed across the area.

Godfiend chose to join in and created a flood of techniques but the man easily destroyed them with one swing. He then severed one of the creature’s heads.

The survivors saw how this old man just defeated two experts and became excited. So we still have someone like him around!

Feiyun found this hard to believe. Why did the Ji decline if they had someone like?

Long Cangyue had never heard of him either despite being here for many years. Perhaps even the current clan masters and the ancestors didn’t know about him.

If they did, they wouldn’t have relied on her mother to enter the royal clan in order to keep their clan going.

“Ji Haotian, you’re still alive! Haha!” The first Venerable stood on top of a lake. It looked ethereal and extremely dangerous.

Ji Haotian? That name sounds familiar.

Oh right! Xinnu and Xiaonnu’s father!

The turtle murmured: “It’s really him, he’s really alive. People said that he committed suicide 1,500 years ago, who would have thought that he has been hiding in the Ji all this time?”

Feiyun summoned the two girls so that they could confirm it. They became emotional after seeing the man; their eyes contained indignation, hatred, rage, and some other emotions. Eventually, tears streamed down their cheeks.

“That’s… that’s him… How dare he still has the audacity to live? He should be in hell right now.” The two sisters couldn’t forget this man even though it has been more than a thousand years. They remembered how he killed their mother and carried two basins of blood out.

“You.” The saber in the old man’s hand became redder as he glared at the First Venerable.

“Yes, looks like you haven’t forgotten about me yet. True, I guess you have been tormented by guilt and sadness, it’s normal for you to remember me.” The venerable smiled.

“No need for you to leave today.” The old man became murderous. His saber unleashed a red slash across the sky.

The venerable threw out the clan master’s corpse before retreating. The slash eviscerated the corpse as a result.

“Looks like the wound back then is still corrupting your body, this slash is so weak.” The venerable said.

Though it was wounded by a saber energy and had a cut in its form, it was actually ecstatic.

Ji Haotian’s hidden injury has taken a turn for the worse. He couldn’t use the true power of the Yang Soul Holy Embryo or that slash earlier should have been enough to kill.

1,500 years ago, the First Venerable knew that Ji Haotian had this embryo within him, meaning frightening future potential.

Thus, it left behind a curse of sorts. This has spread enough to stop the guy from using his true power.

“His wounds will get worse the longer this goes on. We can definitely kill him… ugh…” The venerable told his allies before getting struck by another red slash.
