Miao Zi clutched Yi Chen's collar, and after seeing Shui Lingyue, she pouted her mouth, gesturing for the master to look at the concealed groove on the lower jaw of the Flower Shark.
"My husband is truly amazing!" Shui Lingyue also didn't point it out and gave Yi Chen a thumbs up from afar.
Affirmation from the master.jpg
Yi Chen: "...."
"Miao Zi, go tidy up this Flower Shark and then scram out of here, don't eat today."
Yi Chen unhappily plucked his own large son down.
Both the man, the woman, and the cat knew the other was pretending, but the atmosphere was unusually harmonious.
Miao Zi's body swelled and grew large, she took the Flower Shark in her mouth and ran towards the spring, her eyes shimring with a cunning and agile light.
That stupid Crimson Leopard, in this lifeti, would never understand Little Miao's maneuvers, it could never pose any threat to Little Miao's status.
As long as Miao Zi is here, the Crimson Leopard will always be the younger brother.
A huge cauldron was filled with white mist, and the rich aroma wafted through the air.
Yue Qingping had been away for seven days and had not returned. Now, with power struggles erging from all directions, Yi Chen naturally would not act rashly at such a critical mont; it was like a brief parting was better than a new marriage, so he decided to spend a few more days with the master.
Nothing unexpected had happened in these seven days, except on the first night of the Fish Dragon Dance, Shui Lingyue's gaze was a bit strange, and that's when Yi Chen knew sothing was amiss and the master ended up biting him several tis in her anger.
Fortunately, his astonishing wits ca online, and with a bit of delicate operation, he managed to avert the peril.
"My husband, how nice it would be if it could always be like this," Shui Lingyue said as she opened the courtyard door, carrying a small black cat inside.
"If it were always like this, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to take it, Ling Yue," Yi Chen said with a frivolous expression, about to dart forward to embrace the beauty, when suddenly a streak of Sword Qi cut across the sky, stopping him in his tracks.
The peerless female crown had already appeared by the cauldron, serving herself a bowl of fish soup and adding a small handful of coriander.
"Young friend, it would be best not to be so reckless on Mount Qingping, and today, you shall leave the mountain," ca the cold voice of Yue Qingping.
Yi Chen: "...." Damn it, soone just showed up uninvited.
"Ling Yue is my disciple; before she enters the True Monarch realm, she is not to leave the mountain. I cannot afford to lose this person."
"I heard that you, young friend, have a deep-seated hatred with the Yan Family of Da Yue; I wonder if you would be interested in revenge~"
After showing off by finishing a bowl of creamy white fish soup, Yue Qingping's eyes slightly brightened, as she helped herself to another bowl.
Hearing the na of the Yan Family, Yi Chen's eyes sharpened suddenly, and his aura beca dangerously intense.
"Of course! I ask for True Monarch Qingping's guidance!"
"Then catch this. Be quick!" A green token flew instantly into Yi Chen's hands.
"The True Monarch also has a grudge with the Yan Family?" Yi Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"They deserve to have a grudge with ?" Yue Qingping scoffed coldly, "I rely dislike people who bite the hand that feeds them."
"Of the nine great families of Da Yue, only the Yan Family was supported by my own hand. Now, they are the first to rebel, siding with the Buddhist Sect, and have even incited so smaller families. It just so happens I heard you have a grudge against them, so why not get so revenge."
For so reason, from Yue Qingping's words, Yi Chen sensed so resentnt towards the Buddhist Sect, wondering what had happened in the past seven days.
However, he did not hesitate much and imdiately gripped the green token in his hand tightly.
"Then, I entrust Ling Yue to the True Monarch for guidance."
With these words, Yi Chen turned and left at once.
At that mont, the Teleportation Array on Mount Qingping had already been prepared. With a flash of light and shadow, his figure disappeared from the place, appearing above a desolate wilderness.
Looking at the information recorded on the green token, a cruel smile couldn't help but appear on Yi Chen's face.
He, Yi Chengzi, was coming to collect debts!
....
....
In the vast green abyss.
Two enormous Floating Skyships were flying swiftly across the sky.
The Skyships had five decks, and the further down, the more bustling with people they were.
Above the fifth layer, Yan Family Head Yan Jiexi was reporting sothing in a soft voice to a well-dressed and towering elder.
At this mont, Yan Jiexi, the Family Head of the Yan Family, still exuded an imposing aura, radiating a faint, unique scent of a True Monarch.
"Elder Ancestor, nobody expected Yue Qingping to suddenly intervene like this. A single sentence from her was enough to cede the thirteen routes from the two capitals, putting our clan in a tough spot," he said.
"Over the years, if it weren't for Jiexi handling the affairs, with the governance skills of the Yue family, strife would have already broken out."
"In an age of great strife, if you don't advance, you fall back. How can the territories of the two capitals be sufficient for so many clans to share the profits? If the Yue family isn't kind, then don't bla our Yan Family for not being righteous."
"Jiexi has already made contact with a certain individual from the Buddhist sect. Now, as the power of the Dao and Buddhism rises in Central Continent, the Buddhist sect has brought back many experts from foreign lands and is even looking to set up an external branch. Our Yan Family will be the first to pledge allegiance to them, and even if it costs them a fortune to acquire loyal followers, they will surely give the Yan Family a favorable position," he continued.
The towering elder frowned, "The Buddhist sect is not to be trusted. Isn't this gamble a bit too risky?"
"That's why Jiexi has decided to split our Yan Family in two, dividing it into two floating skyships. The main lineage will join the Buddhist sect, while the exceptional disciples from the side branches will join the Dao sect. Betting on both sides is the way for our clan to thrive for a hundred generations."
"Joining the Eastern Continent is a path to death. It's better to provide tily help than to add luxuries to what is already beautiful. Yue Qingping has been unfilial, and now our Yan Family pledging allegiance to the Buddhist and Dao sects of Central Continent is the last choice."
"Elder Ancestor, esteed clan elders, please make a decision early!" he urged.
The eight clan elders seated below the towering elder couldn't help but whisper among themselves after hearing this, and the towering elder sighed helplessly:
"Ah, now we are like fish on the chopping block, with others as the knife and chopping board. Jiexi, you have been efficient in your work over these years, truly a Qilin of our Yan Family, never short of providing resources for the clan elders. You have also worked hard."
"What does everyone think of Jiexi's idea?"
"Good, Elder Ancestor, this ti we even brought out so of the secret treasures from the Da Yue storerooms that we oversee. If discovered, it would likely cause unnecessary complications. Why don't we use that family heirloom to advance to the regions of the Dao and Buddhist sects?"
The senior elders exchanged glances and nodded in agreent.
Several people worked together to cast intricate hand seals. Under the guidance of the towering elder, a shiny circular mirror erged from the skyship and hovered above.
The mirror slowly expanded, swallowing the surrounding light, and the world suddenly darkened.
At the horizon, right where the mirror was, a huge hole around two hundred ters in diater suddenly appeared.
Seeing the slowly stabilizing black hole, satisfaction spread across everyone's faces.
"Jiexi truly lives up to the na of one who forecasts the cosmos. He had set up several positioning formations in advance, before the situation changed. With the teleportation ability of the Black Moon Mirror, we can escape tens of thousands of miles away. Even if we're discovered, they won't be able to catch up," a clan elder praised, stroking his three-foot beard and shaking his head.
"It's a pity about the Black Moon Mirror, though. It can only accumulate enough energy to be used once every hundred years. After this ti, we'll have to wait another century!"
"Old Eight, what are you talking about? Although the Black Moon Mirror is rare, using it now is just right. After teleportation, we will divide into two branches and go our separate ways," a beautiful woman in red said with a laugh, patting her chest confidently.
"That sounds good!"
The towering elder smiled, clearly in a good mood, and he took out a strange tortoise shell, which imdiately emitted a puff of green fla in his hand. He started to roast the shell with the fla.
As everyone watched expectantly, the towering elder's face suddenly changed.
The tortoise shell in his hand cracked open, turning into pieces.
"Great misfortune! Damn it, how could this be possible?"
"Could it be that a powerful enemy is approaching? We must quickly enter the Black Moon Mirror's hole and get far away from here," he said anxiously.
Everyone's face was filled with shock, having not anticipated this sudden turn of events.
At this mont, the hole ford by the Black Moon Mirror had beco stable and was safe to pass through.
The towering elder imdiately gave commands.
Just as the two floating skyships were about to enter the hole, a tall figure suddenly appeared on their inevitable path.
By this ti, Yi Chen had already activated his overbearing body stance, smiling with his purple hair cascading over his shoulders.
"Fellow Daoists, where are you hurrying off to in such a rush?" he asked.
Yi Chen looked back at the massive hole behind him and let out a cold laugh. Without waiting for those on the floating skyships to respond, he suddenly slashed with the long halberd in his hand!
An imnse force of Extre Origin was cruelly injected into the hole, filling it up, and bursting it apart!
Light scattered in all directions!
"Regrettably, this route is closed!"
"This path is broken; you can't go this way!"
