Chapter 954: Saintess’ Arrival

Celestial Fairy nodded and accepted his invitation. She then visited Liu Suhong’s island.

The place became filled with a transcending aura and constant laughter. Everyone wanted to be there in order to see her. Alas, they could only sigh from a distance.

Liu Suzi sat in the pavilion, tapping on the table while contemplating.

“It’s just one match, so what if you lose?” Feiyun was refining the spirit in the spear.

“Just one careless move can forfeit the whole game.” She shook her head.

He didn’t care for strategy and craftiness since they would lose to absolute power anyway.

Suddenly, a loud commotion came as a beauty in white rode a crane through the clouds. She stood on its back; her dress fluttered in the wind. Immortal strands of energy floated around her.

The older seniors in Void noticed her and felt nothing but respect. Most youths didn’t recognize her but still sensed the special strands. 

They began speculating about her identity. Even Eighth’s group started paying attention.

“Greetings, Aquamoon Saintess.” Monk Wulou cupped his fist and smiled towards the woman.

Aquamoon Saintess? All of Void Paradise fell into a clamor.

The entire world knew about her obtaining a saint artifact – Earth’s End Ruler. This was the biggest deal in the last several decades. Numerous prodigies thought that she was the incarnation of a god.

Thus, her presence caused quite a stir. Even Celestial Fairy who was playing a guqin stopped. Her ten fingers pressed down on the strings as she stared in the direction of Aquamoon Saintess.

“She’s finally here.” Liu Suzi finally smiled and spread her paper fan.

Xuanyuan Yiyi landed on Suzi’s island and the strands returned to her body. Her steps were soft and gentle. The two began talking as if they were close friends to everyone’s astonishment.

Feiyun wasn’t surprised at all since he knew about this already. It seemed like Liu Suzi wanted to use Yiyi’s prestige for help.

The atmosphere in Void became strange once more. Those who thought Liu Suhong had the absolute advantage started thinking again.

Aquamoon Saintess’ appearance was significant. If she were to get involved, the entire situation would reverse.

Of course, people knew that Aquamoon Paradise never interfered with worldly competitions. Nonetheless, the saintess’ choice was her own.

The most nervous right now was none other than Eighth and Liu Suhong. The saintess’ words were influential and could change the clan masters’ mind.

“Yiyi, didn’t you come back to Aquamoon? Why are you back so early?” Liu Suzi smiled.

“I’m here under the deity’s order.” Her eyes flashed as she spoke, revealing her perfect teeth.

Those who were listening with their ears wide open became afraid after hearing the word “deity”. Their eardrums were ruptured and spirit energy ran amok internally. This was the consequence of spying on a conversation regarding a great being.

Even their names and titles were taboo. Gossipping or spying might result in swift death.

“Feng Feiyun, the deity wishes for you to visit Aquamoon Paradise.” Yiyi came over to Feiyun’s front and quietly asked.

Everyone became frightened. The great being wanted to see a half-demon?

This was the order of a deity, far grander than the words of kings. Even Territory Lords would accept the summon with haste.

Both Lord Kong Hou and Lord Fu Ying got on their knees. Those nearby also did the same, not daring to stand straight.

Feiyun still sat there holding his spear and refining its spirit. He glanced at her: “Not going.”

The two half-demon lords nearly dropped to the ground with fear. The other geniuses thought that he was too audacious.

Disrespecting the deity meant becoming everyone’s enemy.

The truth was that Feiyun also felt dread. This so-called deity must be Shui Yueting. Could she have broken through the restraints and become a saint?

Her cultivation has reached an omniscient level? She knows that I have reincarnated and wants to take me down now?

No, I absolutely cannot visit that place or there will be no returning.

“You need not worry, Her Excellency has no malice.” Yiyi slightly frowned.

Hell no!

She was the one who told everyone about him killing Xiao Tianyue and the others. That wasn’t malicious?

He didn’t like nor believe her at this point.

“Feng Feiyun, accept the saintess’ summon, being able to see the deity is a great honor and a blessing of three lifetimes. Others don’t have such luck.” Lord Fu Ying said.

Feiyun paused for a moment before replying: “I am only a lowly half-demon while the deity is a supreme god. I am cowering in fear and do not dare to be in her holy presence. Saintess, please let the deity know that when I’m strong and worthy, I will personally visit.”

He stood up and used his top technique to turn into a ray and fly toward the horizon.

Yiyi didn’t expect this because no one has ever dared to disobey a summon before: “Feng Feiyun, this is a command from the deity, it’s not up to you.”

Yiyi stretched her jade hand forward and pointed at the air. A sky barrier came down and blocked Feiyun’s path.

He channeled all of his Buddhist energy into the spear for a direct thrust. The shock waves blew the spectators flying.

They became shocked at his displayed power.

“This is the half-demon’s true power, I don’t think Mo Taiqu died from cultivational backlash.” An old man murmured.

“Hmm, it’s hard to gauge his true strength, this damned half-demon.” Liu Suzi herself found this unbelievable.

She already had great confidence in him but now, she found that it was still underestimated.

Celestial Fairy was impressed as well as she murmured: “No wonder why the deity wishes to see him, he’s not an ordinary half-demon. Is the alliance about to have a supreme genius?”

“Bam!” The spear left a hole in the barrier, allowing Feiyun to fly out of Void and into the city.

“Stop, Feiyun, the deity truly has zero malice.” Yiyi pulled her hand back and turned into a ray to give chase.

The others also left Void, wanting to see how this would play out.

Lord Kong Hou and Lord Fu Ying got up and exchanged glances. They saw the fear in the other’s eyes and immediately returned to the half-demon alliance.

***

‘Leaving the city would be the worst thing I can do right now.’ Feiyun changed his appearance while walking on the street. He changed his appearance eight times in just a short walk in order to evade the pursuers.

“Feng Feiyun, I know you cultivate the Golden Silkworm Scripture and can change your appearance.” Yiyi still found Feiyun in an abandoned courtyard.

He was an old beggar with disorderly hair and rippled clothes laying on a bunch of leaves yet she still found him.

She stood on a decorative mountain next to a pond. The water had a reflection of her immaculate figure.

She stared at him with her eyes freed from impurity.

He got up, completely covered in leaves and dirt. His muddled eyes gradually became sharper as he was infuriated: “I changed my appearance twenty-nine times already, how are you still finding me? Your nose is as sensitive as a dog’s.”
