Spirit Vessel

Feiyun naturally would listen to the old Divine King due to the kindness shown in the past.

Tonight, all the big shots in the capital participated in the banquet held at the king’s mansion.

Feiyun sat with several old friends such as Zhang Badao, the clan master of the Yin Gou, marquises of his faction, and tower lords from Wanxiang.

Feiyun gifted a ten-thousand-year-old fruit to the old king, enough to help him gain one whole realm.

He also inquired about the fight ten years ago. Both Yama and the Evil Woman certainly didn’t care for casualties.

Sure enough, that fight certainly changed everything about the five dynasties.

“That battle changed everything. Sacred Palace Lord was killed in battle while Spirit Sacred Lord disappeared. The heretical king died as well so Senluo Temple split once more. The other four dynasties and many powerful sects suffered grievous injuries.” A marquis said, turning pale while recalling the events.

The old king, Long Chuanfeng, smiled and said: “All five dynasties exist under Jin now, it’s a decent development.”

“Oh? That’s great news. Seems like Jin has a capable ruler right now.” Feiyun raised his cup for a toast.

“This happened just one year ago, a messenger from Sixth Central ordered the other four dynasties to listen to Jin.” The old king said: “Rumor has it that this messenger was in the Heaven’s Emergence realm and only needed one day to visit the royal palaces to convince them to give up.”

Feeiyun thought about how Azure Lord was kicked out one year ago and the Long has finally taken charge again. This must be an order from the new lord of Sacred Court.

He left with the Evil Woman to the alchemy market and didn’t know anything else about Sixth Central.

He then asked the king for more information on Yuji Manmiao. It seemed that she had left with Yuji Lanlan several years ago.

Next was asking the old king to help build more temples in order to help Supreme Goddess gather more faith and worship power. The old king naturally agreed since he loved his best disciple.

“If anyone wants to mess with me right now, I’ll just have to say your name and they’ll start running.” The king joked.

Feiyun laughed in response: “That’s quite an exaggeration.”

A seventeen-year-old girl or so entered the banquet. Behind her were nine dancers wearing extravagant and colorful dresses.

They were the hottest members of brothels right now in the capital, clearly impressing everyone with their beauty.

They have heard about Feiyun’s exploits in the past and wanted to see him. News of Bronze Cauldron regarding his frightening cultivator has returned to the capital as well.

They tried to earn his favor by dancing their heart out, showing him their most beautiful smiles.

Zhang Badao elbowed Feiyun and said: “That girl in blue to the left is Liu Qianye, the empress of Radiant Palace and one of the four grand beauties in the capital. Are you interested?”

Feiyun shook his head.

“Given your current cultivation and status right now, you just need to say the word and she’ll be yours tonight.” Zhang Badao didn’t buy it.

Feiyun shook his head again.

“Okay, I guess you don’t like flirtatious girls then. See that girl in red over there? That’s Supreme Beauty Pavilion’s prettiest lady, Xue Qingrou. Her nickname is Lil’ Hongyan, are you interested now?”

Feiyun took a look and sure, the girl did look a little bit like Nangong Hongyan. Nonetheless, he shook his head again.

Zhang Badao was speechless. It seemed that his junior brother had changed quite a bit. However, he then noticed Feiyun staring at the seventeen-year-old girl in the center who was performing a sword dance

Though she dressed simply, her aura alone surpassed the other nine beauties. She controlled her blade perfectly and caused the fallen leaves to follow its movement.

Her clear eyes, long and curved eyelashes, and rosy lips without makeup made her look exceptional.

Of course, Feiyun was more focused on her skill, not her appearance.

Her sword was ordinary - a black blade that looked rather dull. However, the dance was filled with traces of the dao.

Ordinary cultivators appreciated the artistry of the sword dance while Feiyun could see the sword intent within.

After the performance was over, the nine beauties left the stage. Suddenly, the sword dancer thrust her sword forward with lightning speed, aiming at Feiyun.

“Creak.” The marquises behind him staggered backward, causing their chairs to creak.

It stopped while being an inch away from his forehead. Everyone else thought that they had no chance of evading due to its speed.

“Nice move.” Feiyun, on the other hand, didn’t mind at all.

Ximen Chuixiao sent him a telepathic message: “Brother Feng, she’s special and knows sword intent already. That was enough to kill a paragon when caught off guard, and she looks only sixteen.”

“Keke, more trouble for Feiyun. She’s clearly here for him.” The blood dragon was impressed as well.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, she pulled back and kneeled respectfully before Feiyun.

“You’re too kind, Master.” She appeared happy to see him.

“Master?” Everyone became surprised including the turtle.

It had been with him the longest but never saw him recruit a disciple.

“Fuck, I’m willing to bet one million spirit stones that Feiyun had impure intent for this recruitment.” It cursed.

“I would bet ten million stones on it.” The dragon agreed.

This girl was none other than Shi Lan. Feiyun took her in when she was only seven during the secret royal competition.

He saw her determination as she crawled out from a mountain of corpses, deciding to teach her the Immortal Phoenix Physique and Undying Devil Art.

The latter was a strange and dangerous merit law. He explained how dangerous it was and that she would have to make her own choice.

They only spent three days together and given her young age, he thought that she would forget about him. However, this was clearly not the case.
