Deep in the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss.
The Fiend Ancestor’s destruction body sat cross-legged as he looked at Patriarch Mental Demon’s manifestation before him.
“Fiend Ancestor.” Patriarch Mental Demon’s manifestation said reverently, “I’m currently investigating in the Huifeng Great World and have discovered a swordsman named Daoist Feng! On the surface, he has the strength of a Skyimmortal, but when my avatar went close to spy on him... I was unable to find out anything about him.”
“You weren’t able to see through him?” Fiend Ancestor’s eyes lit up.
Patriarch Mental Demon continued, “Yes! I couldn’t see through him. In the Three Realms, there are few people I cannot see through. As you mentioned before, the Huifeng Great World only has one perfected Great Dao existence in it, the Lord of the Huifeng Great World. He lives in East Xiao Fiend Mountain, so it’s impossible for Daoist Feng to be him.
“And to be beneath a perfected Great Dao, I’m actually unable to see through a Skyimmortal! I’m ninety percent sure that Daoist Feng is Qin Yun.
“The other ten percent chance is that he is simply a Skyimmortal who happened to obtain a Connate Numinous treasure that is good at hiding from the heavenly secrets,” Patriarch Mental Demon said.
Fiend Ancestor laughed. “You are too careful. It would have been fine if a Skyimmortal chanced upon a Connate Numinous treasure, but to get one that can hide from the heavenly secrets and prevent you from seeing through them? The number of Connate Numinous treasures that can do so is pathetic. Most of them were personally refined by Heavenly Dao realm existences. Even if they bestowed it to someone, it would not be given to an ordinary Skyimmortal.
“From my point of view, Daoist Feng is 99% Qin Yun.” Fiend Ancestor’s eyes burned.
“These are all guesses. If we don’t take action, there’s no way to determine if he is Qin Yun,” said Patriarch Mental Demon.
At this point...
They needed to take action to verify.
“Do you have other suspected targets?” asked Fiend Ancestor.
“No,” said Patriarch Mental Demon. “There were some suspected candidates according to the intelligence, but when my avatars spied on them nearby, I could see through their strength immediately. They had no secrets before me, so they were rejected. The only suspicion... is this Daoist Feng. I can’t see through him.”
“Then commence.” Fiend Ancestor looked into the distance. “Brother Spirit Devouring.”
Hua!
A figure materialized.
He was tall and thin, with long blood-colored brows. His eyes were astoundingly sharp and he was draped in an ordinary red robe.
“Brother Spirit Devouring.” Patriarch Mental Demon also bowed respectfully.
“Mental Demon.” Patriarch Spirit Devouring smiled with a nod.
“Brother Spirit Devouring, Mental Demon has found someone who is 99% Qin Yun,” said Fiend Ancestor. “You have to be 100% sure before you take action!”
“It’s time to take action?” said Patriarch Spirit Devouring with a smile. “Ever since you requested for me to prepare, I have been waiting so long for this day. I really would like to have a taste of an Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure.”
“You can damage the Misty Rain Sword, but do not eat it,” said Fiend Ancestor immediately. “You have to bring it back to me. I need to refine it.”
“Fiend Ancestor, rest assured. I will do as I promised you,” said Patriarch Spirit Devouring.
Fiend Ancestor nodded. “In the Three Realms, the only person who can damage a Connate Cardinal treasure is probably you.”
Patriarch Mental Demon flattered as well, “Back when Brother Spirit Devouring was still a pinnacle mighty figure, he was even able to eat a portion of the Buddhists’ Connate Cardinal treasure, Merit Gold Lotus. Brother Spirit Devouring first cultivated in the Dao before switching to Buddhism, then into the fiendish ways... He eventually forged a perfected Great Dao for the Spirit Devouring lineage. He definitely has a greater chance of devouring a Connate Cardinal treasure.”
“A Connate Cardinal treasure cannot be underestimated,” said Patriarch Spirit Devouring. “If a perfected Great Dao were to control a Connate Cardinal treasure, I would not be able to damage it as well. Qin Yun... he is only a pinnacle Great Dao Itinerant Immortal. His Dharmic powers are too weak and his realm is low.”
Patriarch Mental Demon nodded in agreement.
“Besides, I have the massive array that Fiend Ancestor refined personally,” said Patriarch Spirit Devouring. “With the array bolstering my own abilities, it would be a joke if I’m unable to damage a pinnacle Itinerant Immortal’s Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure.”
“I’ll be counting on you, Brother Spirit Devouring.” Fiend Ancestor was very polite as well. “Once the deed is done, I’ll naturally do what I promised you.”
“I naturally trust you, Fiend Ancestor.” Patriarch Spirit Devouring smiled.
The fiends had three perfected Great Dao existences.
Fiend King Boxun was the strongest. He was once the leader of the fiends, but he kept the lowest profile now. As for Patriarch Blood Sea and Patriarch Spirit Devouring, they were considered fiends among fiends. They had heinous sins on them.
Their relationship with Fiend Ancestor was more a “cooperation.”
******
Wei Nation’s capital. In the VIP room in Eight Immortals Restaurant.
While Patriarch Mental Demon was informing Fiend Ancestor, Qin Yun, Qing Shuang, and Princess Wei Ran were enjoying the delicacies of Eight Immortals Restaurant.
Delicacies were served one after another.
The speed at which dishes were served was much faster than it was downstairs.
“Yes, yes. Eight Immortals Restaurant does live up to its name,” Qin Yun praised as he ate.
Princess Wei Ran smiled and said, “Dao Brother, are you here passing through my Wei Nation or do you have matters to tend to? If there’s anything you need of me, feel free to make a request.”
“In the Wei Nation?” Qin Yun shot a glance at Princess Wei Ran. “Of course there are issues.”
“What is it?” inquired Princess Wei Ran.
“The present Wei Nation has its people in destitution. There are refugees everywhere, as well as people starving to death on the streets. Fiends do evil everywhere and mortals are being slaughtered like sheep,” said Qin Yun calmly. However, Princess Wei Ran’s expression changed.
“I wish to deal with it, but this corruption has nearly spread through the entire Wei Nation. The Wei Nation’s chaos has all but turned the land into a fiendish dominion! How am I to deal with it? After some thought, I brought my disciple here with me to the Wei Nation’s capital,” said Qin Yun with a scoff. “This Wei Nation capital has many cultivators, so it still enjoys pleasant peace.”
“It’s a shame. The Wei Nation was not like this in the past.” Princess Wei Ran had a nasty expression, but she could only say the statement weakly.
“Yes, it was not like this in the past.”
Qing Shuang could not help but say anxiously, “My hometown is in the Wei Nation. The Wei Nation was completely fine. Although the people in the villages and towns near my cave abode needed to work hard, they lived their days happily. They were also very kind. But everything changed in recent decades. The villages and towns are already empty except for the bones that fill the streets. Your Wei Nation’s royal household rules the Wei Nation, but is this how you treat the Wei Nation’s citizens?”
“I understand all of this.” Princess Wei Ran raised her wine cup and downed it. Then, she said with reddened eyes, “I have argued with the clan elders and the patriarch of my Wei clan... But what can I do when the clan has internally made a decision? I sought my master’s help! I implored the Eight Immortals to descend and change the World Descent, but my master said that the Huifeng Great World has its owner. It’s not easy for them to interfere.
“I have no solution,” said Princess Wei Ran bitterly. “I can’t do a thing at all.”
Although she secretly wanted to save people, and she actually had saved quite a number of people, it was a drop in the ocean for a dominion as large as the Wei Nation.
“Yes, they can’t interfere.” Qin Yun nodded.
He knew that the owner of the Huifeng Great World was Hundun of the Three Banes. Although the Eight Scenic Palace lineage was powerful, they were helpless against a perfected Great Dao existence. Dao Ancestor Grand Supreme did not even have a single perfected Great Dao existence under him to date.
However, Qin Yun also knew very well that among the Three Banes, Hundun was the most crafty one, but he was also the most afraid of death. As long as he showed his half-step Heavenly Dao realm strength, Hundun would definitely not dare to offend Qin Yun.
“Master and the rest are helpless, and I can’t do a thing against my family clan. All I can do is watch helplessly,” said Princess Wei Ran softly. “My idea is to hopefully cultivate to the late-stage Skyimmortal realm and snatch the position of my family clan’s clan head. Only then can I change the Wei clan and change the entire Wei Nation. However, I have only recently reached the mid-stages of the Skyimmortal realm. The chances of the late-stage Skyimmortal realm are bleak.”
“Dao Brother, you might want to effect change, but I urge you to not be rash,” said Princess Wei Ran. “The Wei clan has not completely submitted itself to the Black Wind Fiend Sect. More than half of them cultivate in the fiendish ways. The Wei clan is very strong, but the Black Wind Fiend Sect backing it is even stronger. The Black Wind Fiend Sect’s sect master is a mighty figure.”
“Are you just going to watch?” asked Qin Yun. “Are you going to watch countless people live their lives as nothing more than ants while experiencing torment?”
“What can I do?” Princess Wei Ran continued drinking another cup.
While they were conversing, the void that permeated the Wei Nation’s capital was suddenly sealed.
“Oh?” Qing Shuang and Princess Wei Ran flinched.
“The void has been sealed? The capital has been sealed?” exclaimed Princess Wei Ran. “What happened?”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three terrifying auras appeared in midair. Princess Wei Ran waved her hand to open the windows, only to see three elders standing in midair outside. All of them effused fiendish auras and had terrifying and banal Dharmic powers.
“Three Clan Elders.” Princess Wei Ran was alarmed.
The three Clan Elders were staring at Eight Immortals Restaurant. They were looking straight into the VIP room and looking at Qing Shuang.
“Fox demoness, how dare you attempt an assassination on His Majesty?” One of the Clan Elders looked down as he berated angrily, “To dare infiltrate the capital, you really have a death wish.”
“Fox demoness, give up and surrender!” another Clan Elder said. With a wave of his hand, numerous black threads flew out in a bid to bind Qing Shuang.
Qing Shuang revealed a look of shock.
“They discovered me?” Qing Shuang felt disbelief.
She was very confident about her concealment means. She believed that as long as she did not appear before the ‘Supremacy,’ no one in the city could discover her. She had infiltrated the imperial palace with those same means previously; yet, none of the experts in the palace saw through her true identity. It was only when the ‘Supremacy’ appeared that he saw through her.
Now that they had just entered the city and was eating at Eight Immortals Restaurant, the Wei clan had already sent experts?
“Courting death!” Qin Yun bellowed lightly.
He sat there without even standing up. However, the wine in his cup separated into three water swords that streaked across the air. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! They tore right through the three Clan Elder’s glabella.
The three mid-stage Skyfiend Clan Elders wore looks of horror, but their auras were already vanquished. They had instantly been killed.
The three Skyfiend corpses plummeted to the ground.
The three Clan Elders were dead!
“Master, leave quickly.” However, Qing Shuang urged immediately, “I have been discovered. This is the Wei Nation’s capital. We won’t be the Wei Nation’s match. Leave quickly.”
“Dao Brother, leave quickly. You killed three Clan Elders, so the Clan Head must be infuriated. He will probably take personal action,” said Princess Wei Ran as well. “The Wei clan has thousands of Skyimmortals and Skyfiends. The capital has set up cornerstone array formations over the years. You won’t be their match.”
