The furious Ting Daoji shouted angrily, “Get the soldiers ready, I want every one of them out there, cut that arrogant brat into mincemeat!”
Lou Zhengshi hurriedly halted him, “Calm down, don’t fall for his trap!”
Pan Ji agreed, “We all know this King Yi is a cunning one, he must be luring us out and going out recklessly will only make us fall for his tricks!”
Ting Daoji smirked, “Our Huangting Clan’s army has far more soldiers than him, with the addition of your armies, our numbers absurdly outnumber his so why are we still acting so carefully? Even if he does have an ambush awaiting for us, our army will be able to trample over them without effort! This little fool intruded my land, killed my people and now you want me to suck it up?”
Lou Zhengshi shook and said, “Brother Daoji, you don’t know how cunning King Yi is. He never fights a fight doomed to fail! There is something up his sleeves and remember, he still has the Yinkang Clan backing him!”
Ting Daoji’s heart thumped right away as he too, knew how powerful the Yinkang Clan’s Heavenly River Suppression Cauldron was. If they recklessly fell into Zhong Yue’s ambush as like how Zhong Yue wanted, with their monarch bell completely occupied by the Fusang Divine Tree, they would be in grave danger if the Heavenly River Suppression Cauldron showed up.
Pan Ji suggested, “We should just stay here, after all, we have the upper hand right now. With the bell around, we can stop his invasion no matter how many men he brings along today.”
A Huangting Clan’s elder whispered, “Perhaps, he is just faking it? Maybe all he has right now are those 2,000,000 soldiers we see and he is just trying to scare us off by acting all tough?”
Right away, Lou Zhengshi and the others laughed, “Impossible, he must be looking for his death if he does so. Do you think someone like him will do something so reckless?”
The embarrassed elder then remained silent.
“Clan master! This is bad! The Heavenly Prison has been intruded!”
Suddenly, a Huangting god came reporting.
Ting Daoji’s expression darkened down and the bad news continued coming as the three elders came shouting, “The saint herb has been taken by King Yi!”
Ting Daoji turned moody right away and the anger within him burnt even more fiercely but he was not the only one who felt humiliated; Lou Zhengshi and the others were feeling the same for Zhong Yue snuck in right under their nose, hijacked Fu Li and Bi An out from their imprisonment and they did not even know it until the very last second!
“Where is my son, Ting Fengcen!” shouted Ting Daoji and seconds later, a limping Ting Fengen with half his face all swollen shown up; he may be a Deity Emperor but Bi An was a Creator so he was lucky enough that Bi An’s slap did not kill him.
Ting Daoji then shouted, “Fengcen, look into the galaxy and the void with your Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils, find out where the Heaven Suppression Fortress’ army is hiding! Only by knowing our enemies will we be able to win against them!”
But to his dismay, his favorite son embarrassingly replied, “Father, I’ve been injured greatly by the saint herb, I can’t use the Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils right now.”
“Then heal it with the divine herbs!” shouted Ting Daoji furiously, “We have a lot!”
An elder mustered up and said, “Brother, not anymore….”
“What do you mean?” asked a confused Ting Daoji.
The elder speechlessly and with a crying tone, answered, “We’ve spent them all to make the saint herb. Now, what’s left in the warehouse are just some seeds.”
Feeling humiliated and mocked, Ting Daoji trembled in extreme anger, pointed at the three elders as he had lost his words and the three elders lowered their head in embarrassment.
Lou Zhengshi let out a fake cough, ordered the Heavenly River Navy Fleet to bring over some herbs and offered, “Here are some herbs, let’s treat little Fengcen’s wounds right now. He has the Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils and that matters the most right now for Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils is the only way to see through King Yi’s plot right now.”
“Cousin, how many men did you bring to save us?” asked an excited Bi An upon seeing the divine tree.
And Zhong Yue raised two fingers to his question.
“20,000,000 men?”
Bi An became even more hyped up and he grumbled, “Now I can come back at them! These fools threw me into a burning cauldron, tried to cook me and I’ll return this favor to them!”
Zhong Yue shook, held his fingers up again and coldness took over Bi An right away as he shouted, “Only 2,000,000? Isn’t it too little?”
“It’s actually two… us two.” added salt onto wound by Fu Qizhi as he boarded the ancient ship.
Bi An’s eyes popped out and he immediately looked at the army standing under the divine tree, which the soldiers all wore the same face, the face of Mister Yi. It was just that their faces could not be seen clearly under the cover of the divine light.
In this rescue mission, Zhong Yue had only brought two people with him, one being Fu Qizhi and the other being Hundun Yu.
Upon learning this harsh truth, dizziness struck Bi An as he never thought that this cousin of his was brave enough to intrude the Huangting Clan twice to save him and Fu Li out from such dangerous place, isn’t he a little too crazy?
“Cousin, and you dare to provoke them with only two people?”
The herbs’ crusts flew around as the little fat boy shouted tremblingly, “Aren’t we supposed to be running away right now? What if they charged at us?”
“We are now a group of four now, what is there to be worried of when we are not afraid at all even with two people?”
Zhong Yue smiled, “We can’t back off right now or they will know the truth. Heaven Suppression Fortress also needs some time to forge the one fortress, nine towns, and twelve strongholds so we gotta stall time or we will not be able to hold them off. Once the constructions are completed, we will have the capital to hold them off.”
“We, against them? Those guys?”
Fu Li on the other hand, swallowed a breath hardly, with the four of them, five including Zhong Yue, it really was a mad idea to fight against billions of them! Even someone as reckless and brave like him shuddered at this thought.
“Don’t worry, they wouldn’t know so they wouldn’t act.” comforted Zhong Yue.
Bi An however, was not comforted at all, “Cousin, what if they did?”
“Then we will escape with this ship.” smiled Zhong Yue.
The speechless fat boy looked at Zhong Yue and said, “By the way, can you stop throwing me out like a bait to lure your enemies? You are my guardian but every time when there is a fight, my heart is on the edge of jumping out from my mouth, fearing that I will be played to death by your tricks. By doing so you’ve failed to carry out your duty as my guardian.”
“Alright!”
Zhong Yue nodded, “Relax, I’ll watch my actions later on.”
Bi An finally felt relieved but little did he know that Fu Qizhi, Fu Li and Hundun Yu who were all standing at the same looked at him in pity as they all thought, It’d be a miracle if he did not throw you out like a bait again.
Some time later, Zhong Yue set up a feast right outside of the Huangting Clan’s sacred ground, binge eating with Fu Li, Fu Qizhi, Bi An and Hundun Yu, celebrated happily and behaved extremely arrogantly.
Bi An took out the stove and cauldron that he was imprisoned in, pour out the divine herbs from the cauldron, stood on the mountain made of the herbs and laughed loudly; this extremely high profile behavior from the boy immediately triggered the Huangting Clan but they still held their anger back.
A drunk Fu Li then jumped out, humiliated them for their cowardness, spitted all sorts of vulgars at the Huangting Clan, Heavenly River Navy Fleet, Yu Lin Army and Panhu Navy, further fueling their anger, but their respective commander stopped them, “Wait, we have to learn everything about them before we strike, only by that will we be able to win.”
Right now, they were waiting for Ting Fengcen’s eyes to recover so that he could see through King Yi’s formation, strike his army down one by one and entangle them all in their net!
Zhong Yue looked at the Huangting Clan from afar where the Heavens Divine Dao Bell spun at a steady pace above the sacred grounds, stirring the heaven and earth’s Daos as it spun and demonstrated its immense power.
This power was so powerful that it started gaining the upper hand against Hundun Yu’s Fusang Divine Tree, which suggested that the people of Huangting Clan was praying at this monarch bell, infusing their power of worship into it!
We must not tarry anymore!
Seeing this, Zhong Yue had goosebumps all over and he warned himself about this dangerous situation; if the monarch bell launched an attack, the Fusang Divine Tree they activated would not be able to hold the bell off! With just a bell ring, the five of them were most definitely going to evaporate before its power!
Now, they still don’t know what I am up to but after that guy who cultivated Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils recovers, he will see through everything. Ting Daoji will definitely unleash his wrath upon us at that point! Now, the only problem is how long it takes until that guy’s injuries recover completely.
Zhong Yue blinked his eyes before having Fu Li and Bi An exchange a blow, only to find both of them stand on equal ground; clearly, in these few years of hardship, the little fat boy Bi An’s cultivation level stabilized and he started to have more control over his own power.
Zhong Yue let out a relieved breath and he whispered to his companions, “That guy is a Deity Emperor, he suffered some injuries after being slapped by Bi An. Even if there are Imperial Emperors to cure his injuries and with sufficient herbs, he will need two or three months to fully recover. Bi An’s slap had definitely injured his Yuan Shen!”
In order to activate Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils, one’s Yuan Shen had to be in the peak form and it was widely acknowledged that Yuan Shen injuries were the hardest to cure, hence, even an Imperial Emperor who wanted to treat a Deity Emperor’s Yuan Shen would take a very long time.
At the same time, Zhong Yue taught the [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture] to Fu Li, asking him to cultivate the art and the human barbarian would often go mock the Huangting Clan and their allies while Zhong Yue and the others joyfully watched on the ancient ship. Then, when Fu Li returned, Zhong Yue would share with him the secrets and wonders of the [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture].
“You have to clear the 33 levels and once that is achieved, your seventh spinal bone vertebrae will no longer be your greatest flaw or you will still die before that Soul Killer!” warned and advised Zhong Yue.
Days slowly passed, Fu Li cultivated the new art steadily and the Huangting Clan remained unresponsive under his taunts.
Finally, Ting Fengcen had finally recovered from his wounds and he immediately rushed over to his father and the others, “Father, senior martial uncles, Fengcen’s Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils can now be used, let’s go see what King Yi is up to, shall we?”
Everyone became very happy right away and they immediately rushed to the top while Ting Daoji laughed, “Fengcen, quick, tell us what you see! Where are the remaining of his army!”
Right away, Ting Fengcen looked forward, only to notice the decreasing rank of Zhong Yue’s army as they all disappeared after entering Zhong Yue’s body.
In just a blink of an eye, the 2,000,000 soldiers were no longer in sight and only five of them remained on the ship!
Hundun Yu kept the divine tree away, resting it on his elbows and the five of them waved their hands while standing on the bow of the ship with Fu Qizhi giving them a mocking laugh, “Heh, billions of you are halted by merely five of us! Congratulations, you will all become very famous from today onwards!”
Fu Li who was waving also insulted, “Huangting Clan, Lou Zhengshi, my master said that there is no need for you to walk us off!”
The fat boy Bi An also added, “Thank you for your gifts! The herbs are just amazing!”
