Dressed as the last nine-tailed fox

Chapter 343 Imprisonment of Pei Yan
As soon as Pei Yan said this, Kaitian could no longer hold back the complaints in his heart, and began to move towards Pei Enze little by little.

It would have been fine if Kaitian had just flown over, but he chose to arch his sword's back and choose to wriggle in an indescribable posture that only reptiles can... It looked extremely indecent.

After crawling or wriggling for a while, Kaitian finally arrived next to Pei Enze, who was not far away.

Kaitian thought that his movements were so subtle that no one could notice him moving, but the eyes of the other two people in the hall were all involuntarily focused on him.

It is worth mentioning that the originally tense atmosphere was eased a lot by Kaitian's movement.

Pei Enze looked at Kaitian's strange crawling posture and pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly. At this moment, he really didn't know what Yi Changle handed to him.

Kaitian was not aware of his fatal attraction at all, and whispered to Pei Enze: "Is he praising you or scolding you? Is ruthless a compliment? Why does he look so proud? Does he know what he is talking about? Could it be that the Heavenly Monarch of your Heavenly Clan is actually a complete lunatic?"

“Hmm… Hmm… Hmm…” Pei Enze bit his lips helplessly. It’s not that he had any unspeakable secret, but under Pei Yan’s gaze, he really didn’t know what words he should use to answer Kaitian’s question.

"Boiling water. If that doesn't work, look over there." Pei Enze took out his hand that was originally covering his chest and pointed in the direction of Pei Yan.

Kaitian looked in the direction of Pei Enze's finger, only to see Pei Yan looking at him with a very strange smile, which frightened Kaitian so much that his tiger body trembled, oh no, it was his sword body that trembled.

"Boiled water? This name is... quite special, a nice name." Perhaps it was the first time that Pei Yan heard such a strange title. Even someone who had seen a lot of the world could hardly think of any words of praise.

"I'm not crazy." Pei Yan explained to Kaitian in a gentle tone.

"Generally, a madman will not admit that he is a madman, let alone your father who is such a high-ranking official. If your father really admits that he is a madman, then the Celestial Clan led by a madman will be finished." Kaitian was unwilling to let Pei Enze have peace even for a second.

"But I'm definitely not a madman." Pei Yan proved himself: "If I were a madman, you two would have died by now."

Pei Yan turned to look at Pei Enze, his tone becoming gentler, "Ze'er, I am your father, so I will always tolerate you, even if you want to kill me."

"Don't make yourself sound so noble." Pei Yan's words made Pei Enze feel a chill, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again. "I have never felt a trace of affection from you. To you, I am just a handy tool."

"Over the years, you have not allowed me to have any emotions. Since I was born, if I looked at anything for a second, whether it was an object or a person, you would ruthlessly destroy it. I can't have a favorite dish, I can't have a favorite object, I can't even have a favorite person."

"You actually blame me for these little things?" The hatred in Pei Enze's eyes seemed to hurt Pei Yan. Pei Yan asked in a trembling voice: "Zer, have you forgotten? You will succeed the Heavenly Sovereign in the future. A sovereign can only sit firmly on the throne if he has no weaknesses."

"But I don't want to be the emperor, and I don't want to sit on the throne!" Pei Enze asked Pei Yan hoarsely, "You never asked me whether I wanted to be the prince or not. You forced the position of prince on me since I was born. Not only me, but also the people of the Celestial Clan. You said you wanted to dominate the three realms and let the people of the Celestial Clan live a better life, but have you ever thought that the so-called good life lived by stepping on the blood of other races is something they never need, let alone want!"

"But you don't care at all! You don't care about the lives of other tribesmen, my life, or the lives of the people of the Celestial Clan." Pei Enze calmed down, "The only thing you care about is yourself."

Pei Enze's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without a ripple, and not a single bit of hope.

"Ze'er, I thought I could change you, but I didn't expect that even after I spent so much effort to cultivate you for so many years, you would still be so cowardly." This was Pei Yan's reaction after Pei Enze revealed his true feelings - disappointment that could not be concealed.

"You were born to stand at a high place. This is your fate and your responsibility. The future of the entire Celestial Clan is on your shoulders, and you have no choice." Pei Yan looked down at Pei Enze, with an inexplicable compassion in his eyes. "Zer, you know that it's lonely at the top. You will always be lonely when you stand at a high place, and you have to learn to enjoy loneliness."

"Everything I did might have been a little selfish, but just a little, not much," Pei Yan emphasized.

"But the ultimate goal is still for the Celestial Clan." Pei Yan said earnestly, "If I can stand at the highest position in the Three Realms, the people of the Celestial Clan will not be looked down upon."

“But the fact is that no one will underestimate the Celestial Clan. Among the six clans in the Three Realms, the Celestial Clan has always been a respected existence.” Pei Enze retorted.

"You also said there are three realms and six clans, but there are more than just our six clans in the three realms."

"Divine beast..." Pei Enze frowned and said these two words, "It turns out that the one you care about and want to surpass is a divine beast. But the divine beast never interferes in the affairs of the three realms and six clans." Pei Enze said puzzledly: "It can't threaten you."

"But why are they born superior? We work so hard to practice, but they can easily surpass us without any effort. This is unfair." Pei Yan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said crazily: "I want to stand on the top of the three realms, and I want the beasts to bow down to the Celestial Clan. Even if I need blood to pave the way for me, I will step on blood and lead the Celestial Clan to continue to move forward."

"Father, you have gone astray for the sake of power." Pei Enze leaned against Kaitian and stood up again. "The Celestial Clan does not need a Celestial Clan like you. You cannot lead the Celestial Clan to the top of the Three Realms. You will only lead the Celestial Clan to destruction."

"After saying so much, you still want to kill me?" Pei Yan shook his head regretfully, "But even if you choose to kill me during my weak moment of retreat, you still can't kill me with just you and the artifact in your hand."

"So much nonsense." Kaitian said impatiently: "I can kill him."

"what?"

Seeing Pei Yan's surprised expression, Pei Enze echoed: "He is right, he can be killed."

"Hahaha." Hearing what Pei Enze and Kaitian said, Pei Yan laughed out loud on the spot as if he had heard a huge joke. After he finished laughing, Pei Yan slowly reminded Pei Enze, "But you only took two palms from me." It was more like a humiliation than a reminder. Pei Enze had to use all his strength and a sneak attack to get Pei Yan's skin slightly scratched, but Pei Yan only took two light palms and Pei Enze was still bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

"How can you still stand here after being stabbed? Aren't you tired?" Kaitian asked from the bottom of his heart. After all, the drug should have taken effect. "It was just one sword, how could I..." Before he could even say the word "tired", Pei Yan suddenly felt dizzy and lost all his strength. He tried to hold on for a while, but still couldn't stand up and had to fall to the ground.

"You poisoned me." Pei Yan was very sure, "But, when did it happen? How could I not notice it..." As he was speaking, the wound on Pei Yan's back suddenly hurt, "The poison is in the boiled water."

"Heh." Seeing that Pei Enze did not deny it, Pei Yan laughed sarcastically: "Zer, when did you start to become the despicable villain you hate the most? Instead of using the above-mentioned methods, you actually use such a vicious method."

Pei Enze turned his face away, "What's important is the result, not the process. Father, now I'm standing and talking to you, I win, don't I?"

"You did win." Even though Pei Yan fell to the ground helplessly, he still maintained the elegant posture of a superior. He shook his head with regret, "I always tell you that people standing on high places are destined to be lonely, but I gave my back to you. It was because I trusted you too much that I failed."

Pei Yan sighed, "Ze'er, you taught me a lesson. Even blood is not trustworthy."

"Heh." After hearing Pei Yan's words, Pei Enze sneered, then swung the Kaitian Spear towards Pei Yan with murderous intent.

Pei Yan didn't react at all, nor did he beg for mercy. He calmly closed his eyes and went to his death calmly.

Kaitian exclaimed in his heart: Elegant, it is really elegant.

When Kaitian was just a hair away from Pei Yan's neck, Pei Enze stopped and said, "Besides these, don't you have anything else you want to say to me?"

Pei Yan slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of sadness or fear in his eyes, as if the person being stabbed by the sword was not him. "For example?"

"For example... my mother. Over the years, have you ever regretted killing her?" Pei Enze's eyes were red. "If you hadn't killed my mother, maybe with her dissuasion, there would be no Fuxing City in the Three Realms, and... maybe between you and me, we wouldn't have reached the point where father and son would kill each other."

“Zer, you are my only bloodline in the Three Realms. Believe it or not, I have never thought of killing you until today, so the fratricide you mentioned is probably inaccurate. As for your mother…” Pei Yan looked at Kaitian who was against his throat and analyzed: “Given the current situation, if I say that I regret killing your mother, and then talk to you emotionally, saying that I did all wrong before and expressing my regret, you probably won’t be able to kill me, but I…”

"I never regretted it - I killed her with my own hands." Pei Yan said in a loud voice, "In my life, I have never looked back. Ze'er, never look back." After saying that, Pei Yan closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

"Father." Pei Enze took back Kaitian, "I won't kill you. You shouldn't die so easily. Since you enjoy loneliness, you will be lonely forever from now on."

Pei Enze locked Pei Yan in the secret room that originally housed Xing Taoer. The secret room was built by Pei Yan many years ago, but in the end it was used to imprison himself. The pyroxene that was used to isolate Xing Taoer's breath also completely isolated Pei Yan's breath.

"Father, if one day you can figure it out, then stay in this secret room and pray day and night for the souls of those who died in vain under your hands." This was the last time Pei Yan saw Pei Enze. There was only a profile of his face, which was blurry in the right light.

After Pei Enze finished saying this, he walked out of the secret room without looking back, and then the door of the secret room closed tightly. From then on, Pei Yan no longer existed in the Three Realms.

……

Yi Changle carried Kaitian on his shoulders and waited for Pei Enze not far from the secret room. Kaitian still looked dark, but relying on his great achievements, he leaned comfortably on Yi Changle's shoulder. Yi Changle also followed him, because Kaitian, as a creation artifact, had his own pride, but this time he was willing to make a decision that went against his pride - to apply poison on the tip of the sword, which was really worthy of praise.

The time in the secret room belonged to Pei Enze and Pei Yan, father and son. Yi Changle and Kaitian tacitly did not disturb them. After all, Pei Yan was their father and raised them. Pei Enze needed some time to say goodbye to Pei Yan. Perhaps he was also saying goodbye to his past self who bore the hatred of his mother's murder.

Pei Enze turned around only after hearing the sound of the secret room door closing. He did nothing but just looked at the secret room door quietly.

"Are we going over there?" Even though Pei Enze remained silent, Kaitian could feel the sadness emanating from him.

Yi Changle shook his head. "Leave him alone. We can't help him."

……

"I couldn't bear to kill him. Do you think I'm useless?" After a long time, Pei Enze finally spoke and asked this question in a calm tone. However, his clenched fists revealed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"Of course not." Yi Changle gave an answer immediately, "We agreed at the beginning that Pei Yan would be handed over to you for disposal. As long as you don't let him continue to harm the Three Realms, you can do whatever you want to him."

"What's more, if the Supreme God perishes, strange phenomena will fall from the sky. If all three realms know that Pei Yan is dead, you will inevitably encounter twists and turns in your succession to the Heavenly Sovereign. Although Pei Yan has been locked in this secret room and his aura has been lost, it is still uncertain whether Pei Yan will live or die. There will always be people who are afraid of him, and your path will be easier."

"I'm not just thinking about the succession..."

"Rou Rou, I understand, you don't need to explain." Yi Changle smiled and said, "You are never one of those people who pursue fame and fortune in my eyes."

Pei Enze also smiled, and everything was said without words.

Afterwards, Pei Enze looked up and destroyed the switch of the secret room. In order to imprison Xing Taoer, Pei Yan spent a lot of effort to build this secret room. Once the door of the secret room is closed, if the switch is destroyed, the secret room can never be opened again, no matter how advanced his magic power is.

The fact that Pei Enze destroyed the switch meant that from the moment Pei Yan entered the secret room, he had no intention of letting Pei Yan out.

After the switch was destroyed, Pei Enze felt relieved and his body became lighter. "Let's go."
