Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 106 - 106 105 Return_1

106: Chapter 105 Return_1 106: Chapter 105 Return_1 Yinchan said nonchalantly, “I know!” Ever since that villain’s scheme, when she stole her position as the bandit chief’s wife, she had known: “Isn’t this revealing their true purpose!”

The Sect Leader of Xuan Tian shook his head, “Wherever the Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven opens, Xuan Tian Gate will inevitably have a share.

Merely this is still not enough to make me give up East Cloud.

The unification of East Cloud brings endless troubles.” He looked at his daughter with utmost seriousness in his eyes.

“Yah!” Yinchan pouted, “But you know the characteristics of the Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven.

I govern this generation, and it’s me who will open the door next time.”

She appeared distressed and let out a sigh of disappointment, “Then let it be, after all it’s quite safe in Tian Xing Palace.

Coming all the way back to Xuan Tian Immortal Domain might end up captured and sold to you; it doesn’t seem worth it.

Opening the Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven in Tian Xing Palace, the palace master will surely give a hefty reward.”

She jumped off the table and was about to leave.

In the end, Qingyuan Gate had nothing to do with her.

She would help if she could; if not, would the king really dare to hit her?

The Sect Leader of Xuan Tian chuckled and shook his head, “She will offer, but would you dare to accept?”

Tian Xing Palace and Xuan Tian Gate couldn’t be considered arch-enemies, but they weren’t all that far off either.

Tens of thousands of years ago, when the Mystery Huang World still abided by the principle that righteousness and evil could not coexist, the two sects were in a severe rift.

“Since the Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven will open in a cycle of sixty years, let’s set a period of sixty years.

I give Qingyuan Gate sixty years’ time.

After sixty years, either move out of East Cloud and leave the Xuan Tian Immortal Domain, or Xuan Tian Gate will march into East Cloud!”

His calm tone was not one of negotiation, but rather an announcement.

Even if he gave Qingyuan Gate one sixty-year cycle, let alone sixty cycles, Xuan Tian Gate could destroy them in the blink of an eye.

His words had already determined the life and death of Qingyuan.

Yinchan looked at him in disbelief; his bargaining was too ruthless.

The Sect Leader of Xuan Tian chuckled lightly, flicking his fingers on the table, “Brother Luo, did you hear all that?”

Below the study, a shadow faintly appeared and then solidified—it was the Master of the Foreign Affairs Hall.

He gave a wry smile, “My niece is indeed formidable, having control over the Mystery Yellow Cave Heaven now.

It’s just that Luo Ruging has already led his troops to exterminate Qingyuan, and by now they must have already issued their challenge.

The Exorcism Hall is also ready to make a move, stopping now might not be suitable.”

The war had already begun; a sudden withdrawal would damage Xuan Tian’s reputation.

Yinchan huffed, “Uncle Luo, don’t talk nonsense.

Have you forgotten?

I am the vice head of the Exorcism Hall.”

Thinking she’s just darkly adorable with no tricks up her sleeve?

The Exorcism Hall was remaining quietly at its station, not moving an inch.

The Sect Leader of Xuan Tian glanced at his daughter, “Still able to remotely control the Exorcism Hall despite being wanted, it seems you’ve been quite successful as the vice head.

The bounty on the wanted notice doubles.”

Yinchan was stunned, incredulous at her father.

The current bounty was already overwhelming them, doubling it would make even the prodigies of the Ten Major Immortal Doors tempted.

The Sect Leader of Xuan Tian seemed not to notice his daughter’s expression, and said in a stern voice, “Since Luo Ruging has already issued a challenge, he will take the lead in destroying Qingyuan.

If Qingyuan cannot even withstand an assault from the Foreign Affairs Hall, then they should let go of the notion of monopolizing East Cloud.”

How could there be a price hike?

Yinchan pouted, huffed, and with a pop, dissipated into bubbles.

The Sect Leader of Xuan Tian paid no heed to his daughter’s departure; this daughter, fearing that he would follow the phantom to her real body, had used no less than seven root-cutting techniques!

Wandering for forty years seemed to have improved her skills.

“Brother Luo, do you think the Foreign Affairs Hall can achieve this feat?”

Master Luo of the hall shook his head, “Feng Yi Ju is not a rash person.

My niece’s action here is probably just a diversion, even without her, he must have other means to block Xuan Tian Gate.”

“Oh?” The Sect Leader of Xuan Tian looked at him, “I can’t think of any way a mere Qingyuan Gate could block us.”

Master Luo gave a light laugh, “They certainly can’t stand up to us on the surface, but he could change the game, say, turning East Cloud into a basin of filth.

Soaking himself in the muck until he stinks, Xuan Tian Gate naturally wouldn’t come near.”

He snickered, then spoke seriously again, “Brother, do not underestimate Feng Yi Ju.

But those given enough turmoil will turn into true dragons.

If we give him sixty years, Qingyuan Gate will become too big to fail—Qingyuan may remain, but Feng Yi Ju must die!”

The Sect Leader of Xuan Tian shook his head and chuckled; Feng Yi Ju was not to be underestimated?

As if any who could become a Sect Leader were fools?

Let’s see how Feng Yi Ju plays out this drama.

In mid-air above Qingyuan Mountain, Feng Yi Ju, who had been closing his eyes and concentrating, suddenly opened them.

“They’re here!”

To the east, at the foot of East Cloud Mountain, three Flying Boats broke through the Flowing Light River, heading straight for Qingyuan.

On the main vessel, Luo Ruging’s face was ice cold; he had just received a notification from the sect.

The Exorcism Hall wasn’t coming, and the affairs of East Cloud were now in his hands alone.

What petty tricks has Feng Yi Ju used?

Luo Ruging felt an ominous premonition rising.

He looked at the nine Stepping Sky Realm cultivators on the three Flying Boats, feeling somewhat relieved in his heart.

Be neither reckless nor greedy for merit, all who have stepped into the sky must not separate, break mountains if they block the way and turn water to steam if it opposes, push forward smoothly, let him have a thousand strategies, I will stand firm!

Especially since Exorcism Hall chose not to come, Grandfather temporarily transferred Loyal Uncle into the Xi’an Hall.

Loyal Uncle, having served as butler to Grandfather for two thousand years, had long stepped into the third stage of the Stepping Sky Realm, and was considered a high-ranking expert even among All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Gazing at Feng Yi Ju, who stood suspended in mid-air, Luo Ruging’s face was grim, “Feng Yi Ju, does Qingyuan Gate acknowledge its crimes?”

The sound, like a tolling bell, rolled away, echoing throughout the skies above East Cloud.

Not only must Qingyuan be annihilated, but it must also be done elegantly, to kill a chicken as a warning to the monkeys, letting the East Cloud Sects know what Xuan Tian Gate is!

Feng Yi Ju raised his head and smiled faintly, “Because we are alive?”

In the eyes of some, your very existence is a crime.

“Impudent!” Luo Ruging shouted coldly, “You released the Prison Ghosts from the Prison, caused chaos in East Cloud, and slaughtered living creatures, do you still not acknowledge your guilt?”

Feng Yi Ju chuckled lightly, “Brother Luo, it’s just you and me here; why bother with this pretense?

Xuan Tian Gate has disturbed the peace of East Cloud for tens of thousands of years, do you really think the East Cloud Sects don’t know?

Nine hundred years ago, Xuanyang Palace was destroyed due to the rampage of a Prison Ghost, and three hundred years ago, Taibai Temple was destroyed for the same reason, do you think everyone is blind?”

Guilt or innocence, the turd bowl is slapped on first and then discussed.

Luo Ruging’s face changed, “Impudence!

Filling the air with nonsense, the grand army of Xuan Tian has arrived, yet you remain wilfully obstinate and unrepentant.”

“Die then!”

He lowly proclaimed, “Let me see what methods you have to trap three of Xuan Tian Gate’s Stepping Sky Realm cultivators!”

The Sects of East Cloud, constant observers of Qingyuan’s situation, had their expressions change one by one.

Qingyuan Gate had already clashed with Xuan Tian Gate, and they trapped three Stepping Sky Realm cultivators from Xuan Tian Gate?

How did they do it?

With just Su Huanian alone?

Within the Yang Supporting Sect, the sect leader’s wife breathed heavily, gazing deeply towards Qingyuan Gate, and commanded, “Go!

Leave East Cloud immediately.”

The disciples looked at her, some confused, others relieved.

They were tired of the continuous ten days of combat, weary of days where death could come at any moment.

It wasn’t just the Yang Supporting Sect; Luo Ruging’s words awakened many sects that were harboring hopes of fortune amidst misfortune, even those who wished to snatch a chestnut from the fire, to the reality of their situation.

Qingyuan Gate might be annihilated, but it certainly was not as helpless as they imagined, without even the slightest power to resist—the aftermath of the war might grind them to dust!

That’s more like it!

Feng Yi Ju chuckled lightly, “If Brother Luo wishes to fight me one-on-one, I would welcome it with open arms, but I fear Brother Luo is not willing!”

Only a fool would agree!

A one-armed middle-aged man stepped out from behind Luo Ruging and said to Feng Yi Ju with a chuckle, “Sect Leader Feng, as the leader of an entire sect, why stoop to bullying a youth?

How about I spar with Sect Leader Feng for a couple of moves?”

Luo Ruging’s face was immediately as red as a pig’s liver; he was only thirty or forty years younger than Feng Yi Ju.

This may be a generation or two’s difference among mortals, but among cultivators, surely that did not qualify him as a youth?

A smile appeared on Feng Yi Ju’s face.

Yet, a soft, effeminate voice came from deep within East Cloud Mountain, “King against king, generals face the generals, wouldn’t you prefer a real man to play with?”

Suddenly, a seductive man appeared, stepping out from the depths of East Cloud, covering hundreds of miles in a single stride, his figure moving faster than a series of sonic booms that followed his path.

Normally, when cultivators fly swiftly, riding swords and sweeping mana to smooth the air, it does not result in sonic booms.

Zuo Su’er here relies entirely on his flesh body to traverse, without a hint of mana.
