Chapter 561 - 561 152 Deceiving Heaven and Crossing the Sea

Chapter 561: Chapter 152: Deceiving Heaven and Crossing the Sea Chapter 561: Chapter 152: Deceiving Heaven and Crossing the Sea The battle was drawing to a close.

Screams, pleas for mercy, and threats continually rang out.

Bodies smashed into the ground, and the sounds of splattering blood were relentless.

The scene was indescribably gruesome.

However, a quarter of an hour later, more than a thousand masters from the Three Mountains had fallen, with no chance to catch their breath.

Thousands of these Three Mountains masters were entirely annihilated.

The Chief of the seventh peak of Supreme Mountain also fell here.

Even if there were members left in the sect, they were just some elders for keeping the sect running. All the main forces were wiped out, leaving nothing behind.

The Cat Emperor spread her spiritual consciousness far and wide, but she no longer pursued and killed personally, instead staying beside Feng Yin for protection.

Her expression showed a hint of excitement.

But seeing that Feng Yin had not yet brought out the small object, and looking at the three people of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace standing in front of her, she was alert.

She immediately took action to heal the injuries of the four and applied healing secret medicine to each of them.

Even Bai Changshan and Bai Changhai’s severed limbs just needed some energy recovery, and then they could regenerate using Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Among the four, Bai Changhai was the most severely injured. His head had been smashed open, and he had almost lost brain matter, leaving him unconscious and in shock.

Such injuries were difficult to heal even with Feng Yin’s self-made spiritual pills. Under the vast healing abilities of the Cat Emperor, his life was now hanging by a thread, he only needed to slowly recover afterward.

Feng Yin’s recovery was slightly faster. He felt a tingling and cool sensation at his severed legs, obviously, after being treated by the Cat Emperor.

With the continual operation of the Spiritual Transformation Technique, the pain of his stomach and abdomen was slowly easing.

The Spiritual Transformation Technique was absolutely top-notch in healing injuries, revitalizing, and saving lives.

“Who are these three?” the Cat Emperor asked.

“They are from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, my friends,” replied Feng Yin.

“Good, it’s very rare to have friends with whom one can live and die together nowadays. Your friends are excellent,” said the Cat Emperor.

The Cat Emperor, pleased by association, suddenly found the trio more likable.

Anyone who protects my daughter is a good person!

“How are things?”

The Bear Empress asked anxiously as she rushed over.

“They should be fine. These individuals have strong foundations. Although their injuries are severe, none are fatal. They have passed the critical stage and will recover naturally over time,” said the Cat Emperor.

“So, what do we do now?”

“First, let’s return to Mount Siji.”

The Cat Emperor said, “I’ll take this little guy and leave first. You bring these three from the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and follow the main force to return. There’s no need to hurry, just take your time. If you encounter anything on the way, just say that you owed a favor to the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, and this time the descendants of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace activated your Soul Jade Pendant… So you came to rescue, in order to repay the debt.”

The Cat Emperor seriously instructed, “Did you get that?”

“I got it, sister.”

Although the Bear Empress was also from the bear tribe, it was clear that her mind was much sharper than her husband’s. “Sister Cat, you don’t want others to know about my brother?”

“The Gentle Killer is now the main target of the martial arts world. If his identity is exposed, even if he’s in Mount Siji, its existence may be in question.”

The Cat Emperor said, “This matter is of great importance, and we absolutely must not leak any information. Carefulness is the mother of safety.”

“Hmm, I understand!”

With a swift grab, the Cat Emperor pulled Feng Yin into the sky, her body disappeared in the clouds, and he was wrapped in layers of mist.

Soon, they ascended several hundred feet into the sky, above the clouds. They sprinted off through the sky like a shooting star, silently.

Feng Yin only felt a sudden whirl of the wind by his ears and everything before his eyes became blurry, making him unable to see anything.

When he could open his eyes and recognize objects again, they were already in Mount Siji.

The Bear Empress led the bear tribe, thoroughly cleaning up the battlefield, making sure that no enemy was left.

After burying the dead, they made several stretchers, lifted the three, and started their march back home.

Yes, that carriage was an added trophy. They didn’t use the original horses to pull the carriage any longer. Instead, two strong bears lifted it like a sedan chair and started running at a flying pace.

The two horses were set free. They surely deserved it after such a grueling journey.

As expected of the bear tribe, they didn’t consider how these horses could survive in the dense forest.

One robust bearman then patting the horses said with emotion, “Wish you two happiness.”

The two horses: …

You’re leaving us here to feed the wolves?

“This round… was a hit!”

The Bear Empress was laughing uncontrollably, considering this whole trip as a major triumph. The spoils captured from the people at the Three Mountains was without debate to be possessed entirely by Mount Siji. That was common sense.

Even just valuable trophies alone had given her wealth beyond compare!

There was even more to it. The original treasures on that carriage… We saved your lives and annihilated your enemies. At the very least, we should get to keep some of it, right?

The wealth that Dong Xiaoyan had acquired on her journey was immense. Even if she kept only half of it, it would still be a sum that was staggeringly large.

At the very least, the bounty from this expedition alone could cover the resources needed for the Bear Clan to live for three to five hundred years in the human world.

Of course, this doesn’t include the items needed for cultivation and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Hence, all the combatants from the bear tribe who participated in this campaign were incredibly joyful. Combined with the fact that the Bear Empress did not push for a hasty return, all the beehives they encountered on the way back were ransacked, as the bears enjoyed the honey on their way back.

Victorious return!!

The team of bears traveled about five hundred miles.

A figure flash, and then a panting White Rainbow appeared in front of the Bear Empress.

From behind, you could vaguely hear the infuriated roars of the Bear Emperor, covered in blood, chasing after them relentlessly.

“Stop!”

White Rainbow, though stained with blood, had a gloomy look on his face. With a sweep of his long sword, a streak of Sword Qi split the earth and he question sternly, “Lady Bear, what brought you here? What takes you back?”

The Bear Empress coldly retorted, “Who do you think you are? Do I need to report to you whatever I want to do?”

White Rainbow responded in an equally cold voice, “While I may not be anyone of importance, I, as one of the Nine Colors of the human race, have every intention to see who the Empress has brought back!”

Fury filled the face of the Bear Empress, “White Rainbow, my trip was to help avenge a dear friend faced with danger. Furthermore, the incident occurred near Mount Siji, so I came out to provide aid. This has nothing to do with the grand scheme of humans, and nothing to do with you, White Rainbow. Don’t try to oppress me with your prestige, I don’t take kindly to that!”

White Rainbow continued, “Avenging for a friend? I wonder, which friend was this? Since when did the Bear Empress and humans become such close allies?”

“What the hell do you care?”

The Bear Empress replied angrily, “White Rainbow, are you interrogating me? Why should I be interrogated? Is it just because you are one of the Supreme Beings, one of the Nine Colors of the human race, you get to interrogate me, the empress of the demonic clan?”

White Rainbow responded while forcing a smile, “I wouldn’t dare. But if your empress could please oblige…”

“And if I refuse?”

“Then I can only apologize in advance.”

White Rainbow launched into the air like a lightning bolt, landing above the stretcher.

The Bear Empress was furious and took action, only to be slapped away five zhang by White Rainbow.

The Bear Emperor was inferior to White Rainbow by a margin, even more so the Bear Empress. She was no match for White Rainbow.

From behind, the Bear Emperor hurried over, “White Rainbow, you old man. If you have the guts, fight me! What kind of man are you to bully my wife?”

White Rainbow had already scanned and probed all the bear warriors with his divine consciousness while he was over the stretcher. He also did not spare the wagon, and after having confirmed for the third time that there were only these three injured people and indeed no one else, he felt perplexed by the difference from what he had assumed. He paused for a moment before asking, “Who are these three people?”

The Bear Empress sneered, “Who they used to be isn’t important, but they are likely to be your enemies in the future!”

“Your empress jests. How could people from the human race be enemies of White Rainbow?”

Seeing that there was no trace of Wen Rou amongst them, White Rainbow became a lot more courteous, and said solemnly, “After all, we’re all old acquaintances here. Surely there’s a reasonable explanation for this? Looking at the tree people… They look like the young lady of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and her two guards?”

“You knew and you still asked.” The Bear Empress was becoming increasingly annoyed.

“Hmm, looking at their wounds, were they ambushed by the people from the Three Mountains?!”

White Rainbow somewhat knew about the movements of the individuals from the Three Mountains. And just by glancing at the numerous wounds on the three people, it was rather evident to ascertain the origins of those wounds.

But White Rainbow had no interest in the people from the Three Mountains or the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace.

“Although they are severely injured, they are still alive. Dare I ask, where are the people from the Three Mountains?” White Rainbow asked.

“To ask such a question, you, White Rainbow, are truly unworthy of being one of the Supreme Nine Colors!”

The Bear Empress said coldly, “Seeing as the people I wanted to save are still alive, it would stand to reason that the people who wanted to kill them are completely wiped out. Is this even worth asking?”

White Rainbow looked skeptical, “It would appear, that the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace and Mount Siji have an intimately close relationship. So much so that you would readily establish a grudge against the Three Mountains in favour of Cloud Palace folks?”

“It’s none of your business! Mount Siji will do as it pleases! We’d be glad to see the entire Three Mountains being wiped out!”

The Bear Emperor roared, “You heard that? Get lost if you have nothing else to say. If you want to fight, we’re ready.”

Although the reality was right in front of White Rainbow’s eyes, he still felt something was amiss, as if there was a hidden agenda. He furrowed his brows in dissatisfaction and said, “I still have one question. As long as you can solve my doubt, I’ll leave immediately, can you?”

The Bear Emperor was already furious, “You are nobody in front of us. Don’t you dare disrespect us by refusing to admit your mistakes!”

The Bear Empress coughed, saying, “Your lousy temper. Can’t you just be a little bit more mature?”

Then she said, “White Rainbow, whatever you want to ask, just ask outright. We, Mount Siji, have been living in the human world for so long, we do not wish to create unnecessary conflict with the human race. I will try my best to satisfy your curiosity if I can, if not, then don’t blame me.”

White Rainbow said, “I simply cannot understand why Mount Siji would want to save the people from Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace. Would the empress enlighten me on your purpose?”

He still suspected that the Bear Empress had secretly saved Wen Rou.

Even though he didn’t have any evidence or clues, he felt that he had to pursue this matter as long as there was a possibility.
