Spirit Vessel

Moreover, War Faction might not be of one heart. Even if the scholar didn’t want to do it, what about the others?

Staying low was the best choice right now. For example, hiding in the mountains and cultivating for several centuries until the heat dies down.

Feiyun cupped his fist and politely refused: “Thank you, Grandpa, it’s just that I still have things to do. I’ll visit you when I have time in the future.”

Grandpa Bi didn’t force the issue. He bid farewell and left in a hurry, seemingly trying to run away from someone.

Feiyun pondered for a bit before spreading his phoenix wings and flying among the clouds.

Several days later, he secretly snuck back into Nine-abyss. This place was a mess. The meteor spirit stones embedded on the walls have been taken away.

Only weaker cultivators were still here, trying to salvage the remnant items.

“The experts left already, only pawns are here.’ The turtle stood on top of Feiyun’s shoulder and looked around for a bit before lamenting: “My poor boy, I wonder if the Evil Woman had cooked him.”

“Don’t worry, even a war god can’t catch up to the fruit, I don’t think she can.” Feiyun smiled.

“Feng Feiyun.” Suddenly, red petals fell from the clouds and exuded a tantalizing fragrance.

They gathered together into a slender figure. She wore a red dress above her snow-white skin. Her black hair draped down to her waist.

It was one other than Liu Suhong - starry eyes, an exquisite nose, red lips, towering breasts, long and thin legs.

Twenty or so old men from the faction accompanied her. Among them were paragons.

Feiyun didn’t expect to be found so early. He was on guard and cupped his fist: “First Princess, I can’t believe you found me the moment I got back here.”

She smiled and sent him a telepathic message: “I obviously prepped more medicines on you, it’s not hard for me to trace you.”

He narrowed his eyes; it looked like he had underestimated her previously.

“Haha, Feng Feiyun, I have reported our matter to the territory lord.” She then said out loud.

Given the attitude of the old men, it looked like she was telling the truth. He thought that she was crazy for actually doing it.

Raping a princess could result in clan extermination even for a paragon.

The old men scowled and glared at Feiyun. One of them rode a deer, looking like a statue. He had an incredible aura that was affecting space itself.

Feiyun’s expression soured, not expecting this development. He assumed that she would keep this a secret.

It was indeed impossible to predict a woman. Nothing good would come out of it for her.

Wait, since she knows my movement, does she want the treasure inside the meteor?

He was the only one who knew about the existence of the egg. However, the essence of the shell has been absorbed by him. He couldn’t give them a treasure even if he wanted to.

He started coming up with many plans. If it came down to it, he would summon Guardian Hai and try to force a path forward.

However, this wasn’t a good plan at all since he was facing a faction. There could be top masters hiding in the shadow. They would never let a rapist escape.

“First Princess, you’re playing with fire.” He didn’t know her goal.

“I’ve only told the lord that we are in love, not anything else, no need to be so alarmed. However, if you don’t play along, I’ll actually play with fire then. A dog in trouble will climb up a wall, a human in peril will risk it all.” She sent another telepathic message.

“Honey, His Excellency is quite angry and wants to see you right away.” She spoke out loud, trying to act cute.

Feiyun got goosebumps all over. Alas, he didn’t have that many options right now. He smiled and said: “His Excellency would have found out eventually, sooner is better than later.”

“Hmph!” An old man snorted and said: “A frog wanting to eat swan meat. You, half-demon, are daydreaming if you want to marry the princess.”

The old man sitting on the deer slightly opened his ancient eyes. The pupils were white like two stars and illuminated the area.

His frightening aura made him feel like a character that has just walked out of a historical scroll.

The old men immediately shut up, not daring to comment.

‘This old man is quite strong, it’s a good thing I didn’t try to go all-out earlier.’ Feiyun felt as if the old man was assessing him.

He released the Grand Change Art and changed his fortune in order to stop the peering gaze.

“Oh?” The old man stopped and nodded approvingly: “Such gifts are wasted on a half-demon.”

“Fourth Ancestor, you might not know that Brother Yun is actually a master of the puppet art. His puppet killed three demon paragons.” Liu Suhong stared lovingly at Feiyun.

The fourth ancestor had an exceedingly high status in the clan. Their matter would be decided with his support.

Feiyun was confused. Does she actually want to marry me?

The old men in the group became surprised and thought about it again. If this half-demon was an actually capable puppet master, they needed to stop underestimating him.

The main reason why half-demons were looked down upon was due to their inability to reach Heaven’s Emergence.

However, this didn’t mean that all of them were weak. For example, some half-demons were incredible beastmasters or puppet masters. The formers could communicate with high-level Heaven’s Emergence beasts.

Another example was one being a capable treasure-seeking master. The top treasure masters were comparable to territory lords.

Some had incredible knowledge and wisdom, capable of strategizing countless steps ahead. The status of prestigious wisdom masters couldn’t be overstated.

Of course, few half-demons ever achieved this. If this half-demon’s puppet could kill paragons, then these old men would show him more respect.

Fourth Ancestor’s eyes were no longer as aggressive. He asked: “If you are a puppet master, which art have you trained in?”

This ancestor had dao laws gathered in his eyes. Just his gaze alone could force weaker paragons down on their knees.

Liu Suhong herself didn’t know the answer. She only saw his puppet art from a safe distance and didn’t know the details.

As for Feiyun, he stood there calmly while trying to figure out her intent.

“He cultivates the Grand Puppet Art.” Xuanyuan Yiyi and Liu Suzi rode the winds and arrived at the scene.

One wore a white dress, looking elegant and flawless. The other wore an expensive purple robe while waving a paper fan. Her features were delicate and exquisite - a perfect work of art.

Feiyun was speechless because this issue was becoming worse. Yiyi actually told them about one of the eight immemorial arts without thinking about the consequences.

It appeared that she was here to cause trouble.

Liu Suzi nearly burst out in laughter after hearing about the romance between these two. First, Liu Suhong was extremely arrogant and despised half-demons. This was impossible.

Second, this half-demon didn’t seem to be that interested in beauties either. The whole thing was ridiculous in her eyes.
