Chapter 89: Ch. 41 Part 2

"She speaks! Aunt An speaks and moves!" the masses cheered. They had wanted to approached her and ask her how she was feeling and a lot, but because Yanzhi was still there they restrained themselves lest they angered him.

The woman called An had tears in her eyes as she looked down at her son who kept pulling her dress, she bent down to pick him up when she noticed a stone in her hand. She looked at it curiously without any impression of it, she didn’t know what it was or it’s use nor how it got into her hand so she had intention to throw it away. Seeing her intentions

"Loose that and you’ll go back to being just a corpse without consciousness, no more than an unmoving corpse." Yanzhi warned.

The woman was startled by such oppressive and warning tone. She hadn’t noticed him there at all.

"Wh-who are you?" she asked frightened and with caution.

"Insolence! Kowtow and thank his excellency. His excellency has granted you a second life and is this how you thank him?" Tan Fan scolded dissatisfied with her question and her tone.

Her eyes widened seeing their gang master, but seeing his dissatisfactions and from his words the young man in front of her saved her. She noticed the others watching her with dissatisfactions too, so she quickly kowtowed as she was told and thanked.

Yanzhi didn’t mind because he knew it wasn’t her fault, the undeads master was Xiao Ling and not him. So they would instantly had recognized their master if Xiao Ling was there, all he did was assistant Xiao Ling in rising them but it was Xiao Ling’s qi lingering in them. He ignored such meaningless things and walked with Tan Fan as he got the names of the rest of the undeads and carved their names on jade stones for all before they also regained consciousness. The jade stone with their names were something he improvised with, so some had rough jade stones and others smooth jade stones like that of An. After all undead regained consciousness, their relatives and fellow members explained the situations to them so they got to know that they were saved and brought back amongst the living by Yanzhi and his wife and that they now belonged to the couple. They all cried bitterly and thankful and kowtowed thanking Yanzhi over and over again. Knowing that now their consciousness depended on the stone jades with their names and if they happen to loose the stone jades they’ll be without consciousness, they hid the stone jades somewhere safe on their bodies guarding with their lives depending on it.

After everything was now settled, Yanzhi called Tan Fan and gave him a space ring with some silvers.

"Take them to clean themselves and look presentable before bringing them over. I will return first with little wife" Yanzhi ordered sweeping over the over 200 people looking unpresentable, including the undeads.

"I will obey your excellency’s order" Tan Fan saluted respectfully.

Yanzhi nodded. "Bee stay with them and look over them" he added.

"I understand, big boss" Bee saluted. Bee and the other two high level undeads recognize Yanzhi as Xiao Ling’s partner and also as the strongest amongst the two. So they address Yanzhi as ’big boss’ and Xiao Ling as ’boss’. But between the two, they listened to Xiao Ling over Yanzhi, just as Yue and her siblings listen to Yanzhi over Xiao Ling. But they listen and carryout both Yanzhi’s and Xiao Ling’s commands equally.

Yanzhi walked away after settling with them followed by number 6. He climbed into the carriage and number 6 taking his seat at the coachseat. He sat beside Xiao Ling who was resting against the carriage, Yanzhi slowly brought Xiao Ling to lean against him as the carriage started moving. Throughout all this excessive movements not once did Xiao Ling opened his eyes, that was how exhausted and weak he was now.

************************

In the palace of the emperor, the emperor dressed in dragon robes and seated up on his throne had look of anxiety and was flustered and beside him was the empress with terrified look. Several guards positioned at every side leaving no place without guards, and even everywhere in the castle. Guards were stationed to the consorts and concubine’s courtyards to protect them, and same were the princes and princesses stationed with guards and personal guards to protect them. The castle was in chaos and disturbance and so was some part of the capital. The sinister aura of death released by Xiao Ling to run amok earlier had affected over half population of the capital and it’s people. That is those about thousand miles from where Xiao Ling released his aura from, were nevertheless affected. The very weak people who couldn’t withstand such malicious aura fainted, and those who were barely able to stand the aura, were rendered motionless and some even ended up soiling themselves. The capital city which already wasn’t at peace became chaotic more due to the interference of Yanzhi and Xiao Ling.

Martial artists began tracing and searching for the owner of such terrifying and majestic aura. Everyone had one thing in mind and that was that, such aura definitely belonged to a cultivator much more stronger than the cultivator who had now become the advisor of the emperor. Searching for this new cultivator who had appeared was the first thing on every fraction’s to do list. Whether be it the fractions of the princes, the princesses, the consorts and concubines, the ministers, the empress and the emperor himself. And finally the cultivator who had made the emperor’s palace his sanctuary.

One by one, the ministers, officials and martial arts masters afflicted with official matters, arrived at the palace. They were only able to move about after the terrifying aura had long dissipated, so the right thing to do was to check up on the dragon of the dynasty. They walked hurriedly in ones and twos into the court room without even waiting for their presence to be announced be entering.

"Ministers greet his highness the emperor and empress!" they knelt down on one knees brought their hands over their faces and cupped and the greeted.

The emperor sitting above on the throne made a gesture with his hand for them to rise up, while the empress just nodded to them.

"Forgive this minister for arriving late!"

One by one the ministers bowed and begged for forgiveness from the emperor. The emperor snorted angrily scolding and accusing them of being useless. The ministers welcomed the emperor’s accusations and not utter any word in refute, only bowing and asking for forgiveness over and over.

After the emperor’s anger had subsided before they began having a court section. There was heated discussions about what happened and the cause and what actions to take against it.

In amidst of their heated discussion, an elderly man dressed in white robes with gray white hair and goatee, a green jade pendant hanging on his waist walked in with hurried steps with his hands behind his back. Even with him walking hurriedly, there was no sound made from the sole of his shoes. He walked as if a gust of wind and his presence wasn’t sensed by any of them. He walked straight and tall with elegance and grace, his face with terrifying calmness. It was only until his presence was announced by the anouncer before the people in heated discussion sensed him and saw him walking straight to stand in the middle of the court, a couple of feet away from the emperor.

"Immortal Pei greets the emperor and empress" his voice fell into their ears sounding soothing and calm, he greeted the emperor cupped over his face in mild tone.

Some ministers and officials frowned upon his presence as they had scornful looks for him, and one of those who stared at him with hatred and dislike was King Pingxi who was also presented in the court. Whiles other ministers and officials looked to Immortal Pei with worship.

"Immortal Pei!" the emperor called excited as he came to lean on the table in front of the throne. "Rise! Rise! Rise!" the emperor urged hurriedly.

"I plead the emperor to forgive my tardiness, this Immortal was in seclusion and wasn’t able to come earlier to protect his highness the emperor" his voice sounded regretful as he spoke.

"Immortal Pei don’t say that! Even if you couldn’t come yourself, you sent your disciples to protect this emperor. For that, this emperor will rewarded you well. I wish my incompetent ministers learn from your!" The emperor spoke full of praise and had only worship in his eyes for Immortal Pei.

"I thank his highness the emperor, but this immortal asks not for reward. I just did what i am supposed to." Immortal Pei said humbly.

"Even if you didn’t ask to be rewarded, this emperor still wishes to reward Immortal Pei so do not reject" the emperor spoke as if conversing with a friend, his tone filled with joy.

"Then this one thanks his highness the emperor in advance" Immortal Pei bowed cupped once more.

"En! Then immortal Pei should stop by the treasury later to choose from the treasury whatever you like" the emperor slapped on the table and said.

"This one will do that." was Immortal Pei’s simple reply. The whole time he spoke he showed no emotions on his face, but maintained only calm temperament.

The ministers with dislikes for immortal Pei sneered listening to him. The court section which was interrupted once more was picked up and they discussed more with the participation of Immortal Pei. In the end it was decided that the immortal who that magnifying aura beloved to must be found and presented to the emperor, the emperor plans to talk whoever that immortal was into staying with the royal family and assisting the royal family like Immortal Pei. The court section finally came to an end, the ministers also started leaving in twos and threes.

"Brother stay!" the emperor said to King Pingxi who was about to leave with an elderly man his age. "Imperial doctor Shi stay too!" the emperor added saying to the elderly man with King Pingxi.

In a hall path lit up by candles, immortal Pei walked with his face hardened with a frown. His fists clenched tight and his body excluded cold terrifying aura, bringing chillness where he walked pass.

"You there" he called.

A figure of a man suddenly appeared beside him and walked with him.

"Find whoever it was first before the other’s do, bring the person to me if he’s willing to work for me, and if he refuses.....eliminate him." he ordered. The figure disappeared again after receiving his other.

"There can only be one Immortal cultivator in the royal family, and that will be me. I will rule over the dynasty and be the one above all!" a creepy smile crept on his face as he declared.
