Chapter 1051: Scheming For Sacred Court’s Treasury

Chapter 1051: Scheming For Sacred Court’s Treasury

“Cultivation doesn’t guarantee immortality. Even saints fall to the mud eventually, the great demon kings also turn into bones. Do not dwell on this.” Liu Suzi said.

Feiyun nodded in response.

Crimson Territory Lord waved his hand and light rushed out from his sleeve. Several thousand puppets appeared in the hall including Guardian Hai and Hell Yama. They saw Feng Feiyun and immediately circled around him.

They have been brought to Star Court and examined. The lord became shaken afterward due to Hell Yama.

He speculated that with enough resources, Hell Yama could actually become a pseudo saint. This was only an initial estimate.

The result frightened the ancestors of the Liu. They had to debate on Feiyun’s value again.

“Your puppet mastery is incredible, I heard you even killed two old monsters, Tu Zhangsi and Gu Zhaxi. Our clan needs a rising hero such as yourself.” Crimson said calmly.

Everyone could hear how highly he regarded Feiyun and wanted to recruit him.

Feiyun didn’t agree right away and stood there, pondering.

The atmosphere became tense. Liu Suzi was afraid that Feiyun would refuse and kept on winking at him.

“Don’t worry about my coveting your Grand Puppet Art. A puppet master requires innate talent. If I rob you of it and can’t find a suitable user, it’ll be a loss for the clan.” Crimson smiled.

“First Princess was his fiancee so he is already a member of our clan. I’ve never viewed him as an outsider.” Fourth Ancestor added.

Feiyun knew why they were trying so hard to recruit him – Hell Yama’s potential.

He pondered for a while before answering: “Sacred Court is under attack so I believe that we should come up with a plan to deal with this situation. Other matters can wait.”

“Star Court is protected by Supreme Star, the kings of the Yin World can’t break through it within three days. The other territory lords will come and they’ll be forced to retreat, you don’t need to worry about it.” Crimson shook his head.

Feiyun lamented inside, realizing that he might not be able to leave this palace without stating his stance.

This was the style of a lord. If he couldn’t use someone, he would prefer to kill them to avoid a future threat.

The tenseness intensified. Everyone’s expression became unnatural.

“My Lord, Elder Lin is here to visit.” An old servant announced from outside the palace.

The atmosphere finally relaxed a little. Crimson seemed amused and ordered: “Suzi, let Feiyun and his friend rest. They must be tired from the long trip, this matter can wait.”

Liu Suzi took Feiyun and the Evil Woman out of the palace and arranged a place for them to stay.

Once they got far enough, Liu Suzi’s expression darkened as she spoke: “Idiot half-demon, don’t you know you just took a trip to the gate of hell?”

She seemed unhappy with his attitude earlier.

“Not necessarily.” Feiyun smiled.

“Do you think you can resist the territory lord? He has no ill wills and only wants you to join.”

“Seventh Princess, let’s not dwell on this. I will carefully think about it and make a decision later.”

“Fine, don’t listen to good advice.” She left in frustration, thinking that this half-demon was both stubborn and idiotic.

Meanwhile, the Evil Woman twirled her hair, not interested in Feiyun’s matter at all. She asked: “When are we going to the treasury?”

“Not right now, we need the help of two people.” Feiyun engraved a message on a talisman and tossed it into the air.

They needed professionals – Bi Ningshuai and his grandfather. This would greatly improve their chances.

He planned to refine another puppet while waiting for those two to come. He first prepared a separation barrier before taking out the cauldron and Guardian Hai.

This body was special and had the power to grow. Alas, it was still a puppet and had limited potential. Feiyun wanted to refine it into something as strong as Hell Yama.

He took out King Zhuanlun’s soul and the blood of the qilin, tossing them into the cauldron.

“My soul is indestructible, brat, you can’t refine me!” King Zhuanlun roared inside the cauldron, causing flames to surge outward.

Feiyun ignored the shouting and used his Tribulation Break to send death energy into the cauldron, prompting the king to scream in agony.

The power of death weakened the soul. Eventually, he was reduced to a purple mist. The blood of the qilin was also refined into a dark-red flame.

The two forces fused together and turned into a chaotic expanse.

“Guardian Hai, now is your time. Absorb this essence and become stronger, your future shall be unbound!”

The puppet seemingly understood and jumped into the cauldron.

Feiyun meditated next to it and closed his eyes. He didn’t need to do anything else; it was up to the puppet now.

Maybe another monster would emerge or perhaps it would explode, unable to handle the influx of power.

One day and one night passed. The cauldron started shaking violently with red beams and flames shooting outward.

“Boom!” A thunderous qilin roar could be heard, enough to hurt Feiyun’s eardrums.

A puppet with a qilin head appeared. It wore a daoist robe and was shrouded in flames and scales from top to bottom. Its red eyes were as big as fists, looking rather intimidating and fiery.

This was Guardian Hai after absorbing the two mighty affinities. They became the primary essences afterward.

“Since you have the head of a qilin now, let’s call you Blood Qilin Monarch henceforth.” Feiyun renamed it and recalled the formation.

He found that Bi Ningshuai and his grandfather have been waiting outside.

“You said you got big business for us? I’m ready, what is our target.” Bi Ningshuai looked excited. It wasn’t easy for him to escape Xie Honglian’s grasp so he wanted to have fun this time.

His grandfather looked relaxed, still wearing a robe with numerous patches and holding a shabby wooden stick. He sat on the paved ground and smoked.

These three with the turtle planned for an entire evening. They drew nonstop on the ground; it seemed to be a map.

The Evil Woman stood far away while holding a phoenix blood essence. She absorbed its power and tried to sense the sacred dao within.

The group finally finished the strategy meeting once the sun was nearly gone.

“The commander of the sacred guard is wounded after the battle with King Pingdeng. Heaven Restoration Chamber and First Heaven are in charge of the guard now. Since you have a badge, we’ll be able to make it through most of the gates.” Grandpa Bi stroked his beard.

“I don’t think now is the best time, I’m sure the treasury is still heavily guarded since they are under attack. It has been two days and one night since the siege. If they don’t take it down tonight, the other territory lords will come. In my opinion, the Yin army will leave tomorrow and Star Court’s defense will relax a little, that’s the best time to move.” Feiyun said with a stern expression.

Bi Ningshuai and the turtle laughed heartily and said: “And that’s when we’ll take everything.”
