Spirit Vessel

Yiyi stared directly at Feiyun’s eyes and he met her gaze directly. He thought that she had no other choice but to play along.

“This is Sacred Court, do you think the Azure Faction won’t figure out the truth?” She recalled her sword intent and didn’t attack.

Though his conduct was villainous and evil, she also cared about her sect’s reputation.

“That is why… everyone here has to die. No one will find out if there is no evidence.” Feiyun summoned his weapon essence and created more than a thousand sword energies.

They flew out and ravaged the area, destroying all the palaces and killing everyone else. The lone survivors were Feiyun and Yiyi.

“You also know the Heart Meditation Sword Scripture?” She stood up and stared at him in astonishment.

“I was the one who taught you the sacred truths.” Feiyun recalled the weapon essence and said: “I have to go find someone to hide the heaven’s eyes now, I leave the rest to you. Oh, one more thing, I only tore that girl’s clothes off, you need to destroy a bit of her corpse or they will see that she is still a virgin and suspect our plan.”

He smirked and then turned into a beam, disappearing from this moon.

“You…” Yiyi sat there with a wine cup in her hand. Corpses were everywhere; the stench of blood was unbearable. She felt as if she had been tricked by Feiyun and that he was dragging her into the abyss of sins, step by step.

‘I’ve fallen into his trap the moment I learned the sacred truths from him. How is he related to the sect? Why does he know the scripture?’ She contemplated and found him to be a smiling devil with a bloody mouth.

At this point, she considered him to be the toughest opponent.

She hesitated for a while before deciding to release a palm strike, turning the lower half of the female corpse into bits. Only the upper half remained with the torn dress, looking as if she was raped before death.

She sighed as she sat there in silence.

“What the hell happened?”

“A moon palace was destroyed!”

Not long later, cultivators flew up and landed on the ruins. They were horrified by what they saw - the palaces were destroyed and everyone was dead. Wait, there was a beautiful girl sitting in the center of the carnage - a stark contrast to the gruesome corpses. She looked like a flower on top of an ocean of blood.

The victims included the sixth prince of West Spirit, the eighth prince of Azure, and several dozen paragons. All of them were influential big shots.

This would shock the entire region.

Feiyun traveled to an establishment belonging to the War Faction. He saw the scholar in white along with several familiar faces.

Dongfang Jingshui of the Yin Gou Clan, Xie Honglian who was as cold as ice, Bi Ningshuai whose face was darker than the bottom of a pan.

There was a blind man who was unreasonably handsome - Young Noble Flawless, Su Yun. He sat there in silence, seemingly thinking about something.

These were the top geniuses of Jin. They were all strong now, clearly having obtained different fortunes.

“Fuck, you’re insane, going as far as killing a prince from Azure.” Bi Ningshuai spat out a mouthful of wine after hearing Feiyun’s story.

Xie Honglian glared and wanted to slap the dirty guy. She said: “The eighth prince is only at the mid level but he’s still an official prince, this will be problematic.”

“Aquamoon Saintess was the one who killed him, I only watched.” Feiyun smiled.

“Did you say Aquamoon Saintess? Can you introduce me…?” Bi Ningshuai stood up and his eyes lit up, on the verge of drooling.

Alas, Xie Honglian slapped and sent him flying to the ground, unable to get up. Two old servants came inside with a stretcher and took him away.

“Peace at last, we can talk seriously now.” Xie Honglian sat back down, acting as if she had only swatted a fly.

Feiyun was speechless. He understood why Bi Ningshuai wanted to escape this marriage. If he had a fiance like her, he would be running even faster.

The scholar smiled while waving his feathered fan: “Brother Feng, are you certain that Aquamoon Saintess is the killer?”

“Yes.” Feiyun said.

“Then there is no need to hide the heaven’s eyes then because Aquamoon won’t recklessly attack her.” He said.

“Seems like there is no point in lying to you. Alright, I killed all of them.” Feiyun smiled.

His friends from Jin became frightened. Just how strong did he become to massacre all those cultivators?

“The truth is that given our relationship, it’s not hard for me to help you stop others from calculating the event. It’s just that afterward, War Faction can be dragged into this mess, standing on the opposite side of Azure…” He paused here.

“What do you think should be done?” Feiyun asked.

“Only if Azure Territory Lord is dead.” The scholar coughed and said.

The temperature in the room instantly dropped. Even Feiyun became startled.

Azure Territory Lord was the big dog of Sixth Central. If he could be killed, someone would have done so long ago.

“Haha, I’m just kidding.” The scholar said: “I already knew that you two would come to the palace and was in awe of your courage. I’ve already helped you cover it up, no one will be able to find out.”

Feiyun shuddered a bit at the skill of this wisdom master. No wonder why he was considered the top successor in all of Sixth Central.

“This is the third time I’ve helped you, Brother Feng. You owe me three favors now.” The scholar smiled while raising three fingers.

“Seems like it won’t be easy to pay back all of them.” Feiyun said.

“If you participate in the welcoming banquet tonight, I’ll remove one.” The scholar said.

There was no reason for Feiyun to refuse. During the feast, Feiyun met more familiar faces - the Life Walker of Senluo Temple - Qian Qiusheng, Long Qingyang, Yan Ziyu, and many others…

“Amitabha.” A young monk appeared behind him. He wore a white Buddhist robe and looked incredibly handsome with a pure smile.

“Formless!” Feiyun was surprised to see him.

The guy must have been powerful because Feiyun didn’t spot him until the guy was already right behind.

After chatting a bit, Feiyun found out that Formless was actually the young heretical lord of Senluo Temple. Due to his status, he needed two identities. He carried out both good and bad deeds to the extreme.

There was no need for them to fight because Senluo Temple was destroyed. Their feud was finished so now, they were similar to old friends.

This was a fateful meeting since they were so far away from home. Who knows if they could ever meet each other again after tonight? Therefore, they drank to their heart’s content.

Feiyun sat next to Formless and drank a large bowl while laughing: “So the bastard who got that nun pregnant was you. You better start hiding because Wu Qinghua has been in a bad mood recently, if she were to find out, she’ll chase you to the end of the earth to make mincemeat out of you… hey, are you listening?”

Feiyun turned around and saw that Formless was passed out on the ground. The guy truly couldn’t handle alcohol.

Feiyun then looked up at the moon. He thought about the beautiful Wu Qinghua but only for a short moment - a period as short as their romance.

“Winter… you must be cold right now, all alone in that pagoda. A true beauty, it’s a shame that she chose Buddhism.” He smiled wryly and drank another bowl.

Tonight was a rare opportunity so he didn’t hold back.
