Chapter 1631: Heaven Fey Totem
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

Yi Yun knew that Jiang Xiaorou's mother was of the fox race.

He had previously seen Jiang Xiaorou's coronation as Desolate Queen on the altar. Back then, her mother, who was also the former Desolate Queen, once told him the story of Jiang Xiaorou's father.

Her father was already heavily injured when he came to the Tian Yuan world's vast wilderness.

According to Jiang Xiaorou's mother, Jiang Xiaorou's father was a member of the Ancient Fey race from the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven; however, from the looks of it, that was not the case.

Jiang Xiaorou's father might have actually come from the Chaos Heavens, while the Tian Yuan world was just one of the many worlds in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. Her father might have first ended up in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven and stayed there for a period of time before heading to the Tian Yuan world.

As for why he went to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven and how he later ended up in the Tian Yuan world, Yi Yun had no idea.

He only knew that Jiang Xiaorou's father had stayed in the Tian Yuan world for an extended period of time, so long that he had thoughts of staying in the Tian Yuan world forever.

As for what exactly happened back then, perhaps he could only learn it from Jiang Xiaorou.

And Jiang Xiaorou's mother likely did not fully understand her partner's true identity. The Chaos Heavens was just too incomprehensible to her.

As Yi Yun thought through these many things, Jiang Xiaorou had already begun battling the Fey beast which was equivalent to a peak human Divine Lord.

While Yi Yun paid attention to Jiang Xiaorou's battle, he saw a purple totem in the form of a hexagram arise behind her!

There was an ancient Fey beast shadow on each corner of the hexagram. Two of them had already lit up.

"Heaven Fey Totem! A symbol of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins' royalty!"

When the totem lit up, the citizens of Heaven Fey City turned clearly excited. They cheered for Princess Soft Clouds and the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins royal family.

Fey were very territorial!

This was because they valued bloodline a lot.

Even collateral members of an ancient bloodline would be proud of their ancestors because of the blood that flowed in them.

It was not something humans could compare with.

Fey had surnames and clans. The two were different.

Surnames represented one's family, while clans represented one's bloodline.

The Desolate clan which Yi Yun encountered in the God Confusion Valley had the Shaomang family that Shaomang Xuan was a part of. It also included the Bronze clan which Bronze Drum was a part of. There were also other families of different surname and clans.

It was the same with Heaven Fey City. The royalty had the surname of Jiang, but remained subordinate to the Heaven Fey clan.

Most citizens of present-day Heaven Fey City were members of the Heaven Fey clan, but the Jiang family acted as leader.

The Jiang family members had an extremely pure bloodline. They were able to easily awaken their ancestors' bloodline. And the symbol of an awakening was the stimulation of the Heaven Fey totem.

"Oh? There are six blurry figures on the hexagram…"

Yi Yun's eyes focused and he realized that the top and bottom part of the hexagram were respectfully a black circular disk and a white halo.

They symbolized the two sacred opposites—Extreme Yang Illumination! Extreme Yin Nether Glow!

And the four surrounding blurry figures were the azure dragon, vermilion bird, white tiger, and black turtle.

They were the four spirits of heaven that represented the Four Directions!

The two which Jiang Xiaorou had lit were respectively the vermilion bird and white tiger!

Two sacred opposites and the four spirits of heaven… The Heaven Fey City's totem is quite terrifying. The Fey royalty is indeed not something the Desolate clan bloodline could compare with.

Yi Yun watched attentively while also making connections to the Sinkhole and 12 Empyrean Heavens' twelve Fey Gods. Among the twelve Fey Gods were the Extreme Yang Illumination and Extreme Yin Nether Glow! As for the other ten Fey Gods, their ranks included the Dragon Emperor and the Seven-colored Phoenix which were rather related to the azure dragon and vermilion bird.

Was there some connection?

As Yi Yun pondered over this, Jiang Xiaorou had already engaged the ancient Fey beast!

Jiang Xiaorou's body appeared frail, but her weak and frail body contained terrifying explosive powers. She delivered punch after punch, each punch rendering the world asunder!

Despite being a Fey beast that had a peak human Divine Lord strength, its scale armored shattered from her strikes while blood splattered!

"Your Highness Soft Clouds! Your Highness Soft Clouds!"

The Heaven Fey City's citizens roared fanatically. As citizens of the Heaven Fey clan, they were proud about the experts it produced.

Jiang Xiaorou turned more valiant the longer she did combat as blood splattered across the sky!

She seemed to be trouncing the Fey beast, but Yi Yun could tell that it was impossible for Jiang Xiaorou to truly defeat it.

She was unable to maintain her strength for long. The two divine beast figures that lit up on the totem were beginning to dim.

As for the Divine Lord Fey beast, its massive body afforded it extreme stamina. Although Jiang Xiaorou made it bleed, its vitality remained potent. It did not seem to care about these injuries.

Finally, it roared angrily. Its blade-like wings struck Jiang Xiaorou's body, shattering her protective lifeblood. With a sweep of its tail, it sent Jiang Xiaorou flying!

The Fey beast was incensed as it attempted to chase up and continue chomping down on Jiang Xiaorou, but it was pressed down by a Fey expert!

"Soft Clouds, well done!" said the elder via voice transmission. He had a pleased smile.

In this trial for the prince and princesses, the other prince and princesses could hardly bear the Fey beast's attacks. Only Princess Soft Clouds fought the Fey beast and did not even seem to lose harshly. That was already something enviable!

As for killing a Fey beast with peak Divine Lord strength, it was something impossible for Princess Soft Clouds to do considering she had cultivated for less than a thousand years.

Not only was it impossible for Princess Soft Clouds, there was no such genius in all of the Chaos Heavens.

Fighting as long as she did was already something to be proud of.

At that moment, the applause and cheers swept over the square like an incessant tide!

Tens of thousands of warriors cheered, manifesting lifeblood surges.

"Heaven Fey Dynasty! Forever and ever!"

Upon hearing the resounding shouts, Yi Yun could not help but sign inwardly. The Fey were truly a terrifying race. The cohesiveness they enjoyed from their bloodline made them almost impossible to eradicate.

Of course, there was a premise that the bloodline would not be thinned to the point of extinction. If not, the existence of the Fey would become like unrooted duckweed.

Jiang Xiaorou retreated and restored her lifeblood. The Fey beast was also removed as the battle between the princes and princesses came to an end. However, the crowd gathered in the square remained present.

Many people were brimming with excitement.

"I never expected Sis Xiaorou's lifeblood powers to be this strong. From the looks of it, her father was no ordinary person. In the Cloud Wilderness, Sis Xiaorou failed to showcase any martial talent. It was likely because her blood lineage made her unsuitable for the cultivation of human manuals."

After Yi Yun had this thought, he came to an enlightenment. No matter how talented the Fey disciples were, there was no benefit to them cultivating human cultivation techniques.

It was only after Jiang Xiaorou joined the vast wilderness and inherited the position as Desolate Queen that her strength increased significantly.

"Yi Yun…"

At that moment, Lin Xintong's voice sounded. She clearly recognized Jiang Xiaorou, but she knew even less of Jiang Xiaorou's father. She could not figure out why Jiang Xiaorou was appearing in the Chaos Heavens.

Yi Yun said, "There are many peculiarities that confuse me too. Let us meet Sis Xiaorou today and ask her everything."

"Alright."

Chapter 1632: Meeting
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

After Yi Yun left the Ancient Ruins Palace square, he went straight for the Six Treasures Fey Pagoda.

"Oh? Young Master Lin, are you willing to come under the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor?" The middle-aged store manager was somewhat surprised seeing Yi Yun return.

But he immediately realized why. "Young Master Lin, did you watch the intense battle between Her Highness Soft Clouds and the Qiongqi?"

Yi Yun nodded. "Yes!"

The store manager laughed as a look of pride flashed across his face. Although he felt that Yi Yun was a genius, he also found him too arrogant. He was not very fond of Yi Yun.

He had suggested Yi Yun watch the competition among the princes and princesses, hoping to deal him a blow. He wanted Yi Yun to know that there was always someone better!

Her Highness Soft Clouds was a rare talent. He believed that anyone who saw her capabilities would be convinced.

Furthermore, Yi Yun was still a zealous young human. An elite like Her Highness Soft Clouds would definitely be very attractive to a youth like Yi Yun.

Many young geniuses probably became guest mercenaries of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor due to their adulation towards her. If not, why would they not choose the few princes and princesses with stronger backgrounds?

Although it was a little shameless using such underhanded means, the situation now was dire. The store manager could not harp on such trivialities since Her Highness Soft Clouds would not learn of his schemes in the end.

Indeed, Yi Yun had been impressed by her.

With everything in his grasp, the store manager was very pleased. "I'm Yuchi Huo. Years ago, Treasure Fey Pagoda was indebted to Senior Blood King…" the store manager introduced briefly.

Blood King…

Yi Yun guessed that Blood King was likely Jiang Xiaorou's father.

How strong was Blood King?

To have a huge conglomerate like the Treasure Fey Pagoda be indebted to him, he was at least in the Fey Thearch realm, right?

However, Fey Thearchs differed in strength!

"So it's Senior Yuchi. I wonder if it's possible to meet Her Highness Soft Clouds?"

Yi Yun's request was within Yuchi Huo's expectations. He smiled and said, "I can give you a recommendation to allow you entry, but whether you gain Her Highness's favor will depend on your strength and performance. You have to understand that the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor under Her Highness is filled with experts. Young Master Lin, you might be strong, but you might not be able to stand out. In Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, the guest mercenaries under Her Highness do their best to showcase themselves. Young Master Lin, you must not appear inadequate," Yuchi Huo said with a faint smile.

It was advice and a warning to Yi Yun, mainly to make a show of strength. He wanted Yi Yun to understand that he was nothing special. He was not to act so arrogantly in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor.

Yi Yun smiled without a reply. He only wanted to meet Jiang Xiaorou.

Yuchi Huo took care of things very quickly. He burned a voice transmission talisman and reported the matter.

With Yi Yun's status, as a Royal Sealed Divine Lord who was less than a thousand years old, he obviously had the qualifications to meet Her Highness Soft Clouds. If such a person was a Fey, they could very likely be bestowed with a sizable piece of property.

"You are lucky. Her Highness Soft Clouds is currently resting after her battle. You can head over. If it was any other day, she might have been in seclusive cultivation and you'd have had to wait."

"Alright!"

Yi Yun nodded as he could not help but drift off. Centuries had passed in a blink of an eye.

To meet his sister he had not seen in so many years, he felt a little uneasy.

Yuchi Huo led Yi Yun out the Six Treasures Fey Pagoda as a chariot covered in flames flew over. It was pulled by four Fey beasts and the carriage was thirty feet wide, enough to seat ten people in a row. It was rather spacious!

"Let's go!"

Yuchi Huo invited Yi Yun up the carriage. The driver shook the ropes as they flew through the streets.

…

At that moment in the Ancient Ruins Palace!

The competition between the princes and princesses had just ended. Jiang Xiaorou had spent many days preparing for it and although she was heavily injured, it was nothing much for a Fey with potent restorative lifeblood forces.

"Your Highness."

In front of Jiang Xiaorou stood a female Fey.

She had a natural allure and she wore breezy clothes. However, her expression was somber while the lifeblood she emitted was extremely powerful. She was clearly not to be underestimated.

Many people in Heaven Fey City knew of this woman!

She was Rain Numinous, a follower of the Blood King in the past. She was now the supervisor of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor and had the strength of a quasi-Fey Thearch.

However, the gap between a quasi-Fey Thearch and a Fey Thearch remained huge. Many people remained stuck in the Fey Lord realm, never to break through.

"Aunt Rain." Jiang Xiaorou stood up from her couch. She was very respectful towards Rain Numinous.

"Your Highness, you did very well for this competition. However, Blood King has sent word that His Majesty, the Ruins Emperor, has intentions to enter seclusion. He will likely choose the final crown designate in the next three years!" said Rain Numinous.

Jiang Xiaorou instantly widened her eyes.

Three years?

Jiang Xiaorou frowned slightly.

Jiang Xiaorou was extremely talented. Given time, she was bound to have more illustrious results, but her faction was still in a nascent state. Three years was too much of a rush.

"Blood King has said that it's likely because Prince Tianluo's father, Frost King, gave a rare treasure to His Majesty. With that treasure, he has higher confidence in the seclusion. This seclusion might last centuries," said Rain Numinous with a heavy expression.

Prince Tianluo had build up the strongest faction and he was strong himself. However, in terms of talent, he was not necessarily better than Jiang Xiaorou.

"He has always been targeting me. It looks like he has invested a lot," said Jiang Xiaorou.

At that moment, a voice transmission talisman flew in and was caught by Rain Numinous.

"What is it?" asked Jiang Xiaorou.

"Pagoda Elder Yuchi of the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor wishes to seek an audience. He said that a human Royal Sealed Divine Lord wishes to join the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. Your Highness, if you are not in the mood, I'll appear on your behalf," offered Rain Numinous.

Jiang Xiaorou deliberated for a moment before saying, "Aunt Rain, inform him of the present situation."

To join the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor at such a critical juncture was not necessarily a good thing. Once she failed in a her bid for the throne, she had her father protecting her and would be fine. However, the mercenaries under her might be implicated.

"Your Highness?" said Rain Numinous hurriedly. Although the person was a human Divine Lord, Pagoda Elder Yuchi was leading him personally. It obviously meant that there was something extraordinary about him.

"Tell him," said Jiang Xiaorou.

She closed her eyes again as vibrant lifeblood forces erupted in her.

In fact, she was not good at recruiting mercenary guests. From her point of view, her own strength was most important…

If she successfully broke through to become a Fey Thearch, she did not need to mind such matters at all.

Rain Numinous gave Jiang Xiaorou a glance, nodded slightly, and left.

A few minutes later, Rain Numinous returned. "Your Highness, he still wishes to meet you. He's already waiting in the guest room."

Jiang Xiaorou opened her eyes and nodded. "Alright."

She stood up and casually draped a luxurious royal gown on herself while she walked to the guest room.

In the middle of the guest room was a young man.

His aura was somber and he had ordinary looks. There was nothing seemingly special about him, but the man gave Jiang Xiaorou a baffling sense of wonder which she could not place her thumb on.

Yi Yun looked at Jiang Xiaorou.

At the instant their gazes locked, Yi Yun felt as though time had frozen.

At that instant, all his memories inundated his mind.

Unknowingly, he felt like he had returned to the point when he first came to this universe. He had been so weak that even the wind could topple him. It was this girl who used her frail shoulders to carry him home…

A bowl of porridge and some salted vegetables. As the family had no healthy men, they were not able to eat their fill, much less speak of practicing martial arts.

Having thought of this, Yi Yun felt his eyes welling with tears.

As for Jiang Xiaorou, she turned more hesitant as she looked at him.

He was clearly someone she did not know, but…

At that moment, Yuchi Huo bowed at Jiang Xiaorou and said, "Your Highness Soft Clouds, this is a human genius I found. His surname is Lin and he is less than a thousand years old. He's at present a single-sealed Divine Lord… He intends to join the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor and become a guest mercenary under Your Highness…"

"Young Master Lin, why aren't you bowing to Her Highness?" Yuchi Huo was somewhat depressed. Do I even need to teach you this? Ignoring the fact that you are a single-sealed Divine Lord, even if you have two or cultivated to become a peak Divine Lord, you will still have to bow before Her Highness.

But at that moment, Yi Yun was standing there in a daze. Even geniuses who idolized Her Highness Soft Clouds would not act in such an unbecoming manner on their first meeting. How could a genius act this way?

Yuchi Huo was even beginning to feel that roping the punk into Soft Clouds Mountain Manor might be a mistake.

Yuchi Huo was just about to berate Yi Yun when he surprisingly discovered that Jiang Xiaorou's expression was adrift. It was as though she was not listening to him.

A voice transmission had already sounded by her ears. It was a very familiar voice to her. "Sis Xiaorou… It's me, Yun'er…"

Jiang Xiaorou's body jolted.

Yun'er… Yi Yun!?

Jiang Xiaorou found it unbelievable, but the voice and the spiritual fluctuation could not be wrong.

Why would Yun'er be here!?

Instantly, all the matters of the past inundated Jiang Xiaorou's heart. Countless scenes flashed past her mind…

It was as though whatever she had been fighting for all this while turned unimportant that very instant…

Once upon a time, he was her everything.

Unknowingly, a crystalline tear drop rolled down Jiang Xiaorou's beautiful cheek.

This scene was noticed by Yuchi Huo and Rain Numinous. They were astounded as they produced alarmed looks.

Yuchi Huo was just about to say something when he watched in disbelief as Jiang Xiaorou's body flashed. At that instant, she had jumped into the arms of the human!

Yuchi Huo instantly widened his eyes. This was…!?

"Yun-er!"

Jiang Xiaorou did not make a sound, but her psyche fluctuations sounded in Yi Yun's mind.

Her reason told her that the way Yi Yun had come to her with a different look and name, while sending her voice transmissions, meant that she was not to rashly acknowledge him. However, the upheaval of emotions she was undergoing made her unable to control her feelings.

"Sis Xiaorou…"

Yi Yun and Jiang Xiaorou hugged each other. At that moment, it seemed like every sound in the universe had vanished, leaving only the two of them in the universe.

All these years, Yi Yun had killed countless while walking on the tightrope of death. However, back when he was extremely weak, he experienced familial love and warmth in the Cloud Wilderness. That was the final bastion of pureness in his heart…

Chapter 1633: Blood King
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

Upon seeing this scene, Rain Numinous and Yuchi Huo were shocked.

What… What was going on? Fairy Soft Clouds knows this human genius, and they might even be… lovers!?

Yuchi Huo had a spectacular expression when this idea came to him. But at that moment a barrier appeared like a water mirror, isolating Jiang Xiaorou and Yi Yun inside.

Yuchi Huo fell into a daze. "Housekeeper Rain…"

Rain Numinous's pupils shrank slightly as her expression instantly turned calm. She said in a cold tone, "What happened just now…"

"Housekeeper Rain, rest assured that I did not see a thing," Yuchi Huo cupped his hands and said.

He had worked in Treasure Fey Pagoda for years and was an extremely crafty person. He knew very well what he could say and not say.

Regardless of how shocked he was or how curious the kind of person Yi Yun was, he had no plans on asking further.

"The two of them are unlike what you think. They have some familial ties."

Rain Numinous had already obtained some confirmation from Jiang Xiaorou. If they were truly romantic partners, Jiang Xiaorou's actions would have been too outrageous.

How could the elite Fey of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins be with a human?

If such a thing were to spread, Her Highness Soft Clouds would be punished and people like Yuchi Huo would not serve her with dedication.

"Then, I shall be taking my leave."

After Yuchi Huo left, Rain Numinous looked at the water mirror in front of her with a hesitant look. Why did Her Highness's younger brother from the lower realm appear now of all times?

Rain Numinous frowned. The next three years were of utmost importance to Jiang Xiaorou. She was afraid that Yi Yun's appearance would waver Jiang Xiaorou's dedication to cultivation.

She sighed before vanishing from the room.

After Yi Yun casually conjured the water mirror, he had pulled Jiang Xiaorou tightly into his embrace.

After all these years, the familiar smell when he hugged her once again left him nostalgic.

After a long while, Jiang Xiaorou slowly looked up while in Yi Yun's arms.

"Yun'er, it's really you…" Jiang Xiaorou still found it unbelievable.

They had separated after he left the Tian Yuan world, but were surprisingly able to meet again in the Chaos Heavens's Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins.

"I once believed that only by inheriting the throne of the Ruins Emperor would I be able to seek you out in the vast cosmos…" said Jiang Xiaorou.

She clasped Yi Yun's hand tightly as though Yi Yun would not leave her by doing so.

"By the way, she is…" Jiang Xiaorou looked at Lin Xintong.

"Sister Rou, it's me. Xintong," Xintong smiled and answered.

After experiencing a few reincarnations, she looked like a fifteen-year-old girl. Jiang Xiaorou naturally found it hard to recognize her.

Jiang Xiaorou was taken aback, but she quickly sensed a familiar aura from Lin Xintong.

"It's been so many years; yet, the both of you are still together. It puts my heart at rest," Jiang Xiaorou said very happily. Couples staying together since their mortal world times was truly not easy!

"Actually… Xintong only returned to my side just recently. Many things happened in between. I'll slowly recount it all later. Sis Xiaorou, tell me first, how did you come to the Chaos Heavens?" asked Yi Yun.

Jiang Xiaorou sighed and appeared to be evoking memories of her past. She recounted from the time Yi Yun left the Tian Yuan world.

Back then, Yi Yun had become a legend in the Tian Yuan world. As for Jiang Xiaorou, she had inherited the throne of Desolate Queen in the Divine Wilderness.

She constantly focused on cultivation, hoping she could one day tear through the void and follow in Yi Yun's footsteps.

Yi Yun listened silently, finding even the most mundane cultivation days interesting.

After being separated from Jiang Xiaorou for so long, he was eager to know what experiences she had while he was away.

"It's unfortunate that cultivation is slow in the Divine Wilderness. Later, my father came to the Tian Yuan world. He brought me and my mother to the Chaos Heavens."

"Sis Xiaorou, is your father the Blood King?" asked Yi Yun.

Having a slow cultivation was not Jiang Xiaorou's fault. Her talent was not to be doubted. Back when the Black-armored Demon God wreaked havoc in the Tian Yuan world, Yi Yun had gathered nearly all the elites of the Desolate race and humans to battle him. The Desolate race refused to retreat in battle because Jiang Xiaorou's bloodline talent had caught Black-armored Demon God's eye. He left a psyche mark in her, hoping to possess her body.

Jiang Xiaorou was unable to cultivate rapidly only because the cultivation techniques of humans and the Desolate race were not suited for her.

Jiang Xiaorou nodded.

"How did the Blood King find himself in the Tian Yuan world?" asked Yi Yun.

Jiang Xiaorou explained, "The competition among Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins royalty is extremely bloody. Back then, my father's talent was ordinary so he was quickly eliminated from the competition for the crown.

"Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins princes with ordinary talent either strive for a title and be left to their own devices, or get sent to mystic realm battlefields. My father chose the mystic realm battlefields.

"With my father's blood lineage, cultivating normally to the Fey Lord realm was already difficult. He refused a life of mediocrity and chose a path almost no one in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins took—the Blood Demon Dao. This is also the reason for my father's title as Fey Thearch.

"In the mystic realm battlefield, my father was pushed to the brink of death numerous times. He honed his Dao heart and kept engaging in slaughter! He slaughtered for thousands of years, taking so many lives that he lost count himself. Miraculously, he survived. However, the Blood Demon Dao is difficult to attain. My father still failed despite turning himself into a Shura Heretic Demon through all of his massacres!

"Back then, he was already very powerful, but his Dao Heart had been tainted with evil. It turned into an obsession and the situation became more dangerous. If he continued, he could very well have experienced a deviation and turned into a walking corpse.

"And back then, my father found an opportunity in the mystic realm battlefield—an opportunity related to his bloodline!"

"Oh?" Yi Yun pricked up his brows. "The Heaven Fey totem?"

"That's right!" Jiang Xiaorou nodded. "The Heaven Fey totem. Father had slaughtered for millennia, but the Heaven Fey totem was only a blurry shadow, much less him being able to light up the six corners. However, Father learned of a huge secret in the mystic realm. That is… my Heaven Fey ancestors had gone to the 12 Empyrean Heavens back then!"

Yi Yun drew a gasp. Indeed, the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins was very related to the 12 Fey Gods of the Sinkhole and the 12 Empyrean Heavens!

"Yun'er, you know about it too?"

Yi Yun nodded. "I managed to guess some of it."

"Yes. My Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins was very powerful in primordial times. We were the originators of the Fey! But later, there was still some decline. The main reason has to be that with time, no matter how hard we try to preserve and groom, our bloodline will slowly thin.

"My father found a place where my ancestor bloodline might exist and it was located in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven!

"Later, Father followed the path forged by our ancestors and headed to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven!

"In the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, my father obtained the opportunities our ancestors left behind. He finally managed to activate the Heaven Fey totem and light up a few corners. He was just short of stepping into the Fey Thearch realm!

"But unfortunately, Father did not know that the energy blasts that resulted from his opening of the path to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven had attracted others despite him trying to conceal his tracks. Five Chaos Heavens Fey had entered the passageway and found him while he was in seclusion.

"It was an intense battle!

"Father's bloodline powers were unstable and he nearly suffered a deviation. However, he managed to kill three of them. Still, he was on his last legs by then. He used his remaining strength and opened a spatial passageway, escaping into the lower realm of the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

"He flew past many planets, but was drawn to the Tian Yuan world which had a unique attractive force.

"When Father came to the Tian Yuan world, he had already damaged his bloodline Origins. Even his Fey core had shattered. As time passed, his strength not only failed to increase, it even began to sap away.

"In a few short years, his realm fell drastically. His martial path was practically severed. It was also then that he met my mother…

"My father had been in battle his entire life and never had a Dao partner. In fact, my father had a miserable life. His mother, who is my grandmother, died as a result of schemes. The enemy was in the Ancient Ruins Palace but as Father was too weak, he was unable to exact revenge. With him unwilling to accept that, he took the path of the Blood Demon Dao. So how could he have the capacity to attempt love?

"But it was different in the Tian Yuan world. Back then, all his hopes were dashed. He began leading a peaceful life. Remarkably, despite his powers decreasing, his state of mind was elevated during those days. The Blood Demon Dao, which had become an obsession, something that threatened his soul, was completely resolved. It fused into his body, allowing him to master his Blood Demon Dao!

"Father's strength slowly recovered. And during that time, he also sought the thing in the Tian Yuan world that had attracted him in the first place. It was—the strongest human in history—Human Emperor's sealing of one of the Celestial's mighty figure's eyes. This was probably an outcome of fate. Although my father lacked talent, providence shone immense light on him.

"He obtained some of the Blood of the Ancestor God which Senior Human Emperor left behind!

"After which, he recovered his strength fully! It was also at that time when I was born. My father chose to leave when I was one. He had his grudge and obsessions he needed to resolve. He wanted to become a Fey Thearch!"

By the time Jiang Xiaorou finished, Yi Yun had a rough idea of the rest. Back when he met Jiang Xiaorou's mother, she had mentioned to him what happened.

The Blood King had promised before leaving that he would come back for Jiang Xiaorou and the Desolate Queen once he was done resolving his obsession. And indeed, he had done so.

He just never expected that in the short few years he was gone, the Jiang family would end up experiencing a calamity.

Ultimately, everything was resolved.

When the Blood King and the Desolate Queen conceived Jiang Xiaorou, he had already obtained his ancestor's bloodline. Jiang Xiaorou naturally inherited the blood lineage.

In the Chaos Heavens, Jiang Xiaorou's talent finally manifested itself.

"Father felt that he owed me and mother. He provided me with massive amounts of resources. Even the son of the Ruins Emperor do not receive such treatment. It is also because of this that people are jealous of me," added Jiang Xiaorou.

Chapter 1634: Thin Ice
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

Yi Yun felt a little relieved after hearing Jiang Xiaorou's recount. From the way she described it, the Blood King was not the ordinary Fey Thearch. The grooming of Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins royalty was rather harsh, since it was not easy for Fey with powerful bloodlines to have offspring. The other princes and princesses of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins were mostly grandchildren or great grandchildren of Fey Thearchs. As for Jiang Xiaorou, she was the daughter of a Fey Thearch.

That made things different!

Other royal offspring had to vie for resources, but Jiang Xiaorou had the Blood King providing her with whatever she needed. This was also why Jiang Xiaorou was able to vie for the spot of crown designate in a short few centuries.

"Sis Xiaorou, do you really want to win the spot?" asked Yi Yun.

"Yes." Jiang Xiaorou nodded. The martial path meant competition. As he was weak, her father was thrown into a mystic realm battlefield. Her mother failed to protect her in the lower realm, with the Jiang family nearly wiped out by the Shentu family clan, causing her to end up in the Cloud Wilderness. There, she and Yi Yun depended on each other and nearly starved to death.

It was because she was weak that she was implanted with a spiritual mark in the Tian Yuan world by the Black-armored Demon God. He wanted to possess her body, causing Yi Yun and the Desolate race to bring the fight to him in a life-and-death battle! Even though the Black-armored Demon God was later slain by Yi Yun, Jiang Xiaorou was unable to follow Yi Yun to the 12 Empyrean Heavens because of a lack of strength. It forced their separation.

"All these years, I have been cultivating arduously. I want to vie for it! Only with strength can one control one's fate. I wanted to seek you out, Yun'er, but in this vast sea of stars, I won't be able to leave the Chaos Heavens if I lack the strength!

"Besides, Father spent numerous resources to groom me, putting me in a position of criticism! My mother is a Fey from the lower realm with a terrible bloodline! In the words of my enemies, I'm 'of inferior birth,' and have the 'life of an ant.' Although Father tries his best to protect my mother, she is in an awkward and perilous position!

"In the Blood King's harem, the favor shown to my mother has caused dissatisfaction. Compounded with the envy people have of me, my mother has been treading on thin ice for years. She is blissful, but also worried! I can only be her pillar of support if I have sufficient strength."

When Jiang Xiaorou said this, Yi Yun was taken aback. "Your father has other concubines?"

"Yes…" Jiang Xiaorou nodded slowly. "He did not have any after returning to the Chaos Heavens, but after bringing Mother back, he still married a few concubines."

"The Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins is the leader of all Fey. According to our ancestors' rules, every Fey Thearch needs to have marriage alliances with other clans. In addition, it's difficult for royal blood to have children. It's considered a basic rule that a Fey Thearch has a few hundred in his harem; my father is already considered to have very few."

Yi Yun nodded. This was not Earth. Even Jiang Xiaorou and her mother did not entertain the concept of one husband one wife. Jiang Xiaorou's mother naturally did not have any qualms about the Blood King having concubines.

If a Fey Thearch did not marry more wives to produce more offspring, would that not be a waste of his bloodline?

If the Blood King really insisted on marrying Xiaorou's mother alone, that would result in greater pressure on her. Perhaps, she would even be criticized for being jealous.

"My father's concubines are mostly daughters of major clans. Their bloodline is precious, so who would be willing to be ranked under Mother? Besides, they have failed to produce offspring for Father after centuries. This is likely because Father did not leave them much of his bloodline essence.

"Which of these women would be willing to play second fiddle?

"My mother feels that her background is insufficient to be a Thearch's empress. She has brought the suggestion to Father that she give up her spot as empress and become a concubine. The pressure would be lessened if she's a concubine, but it aches my heart hearing that."

Jiang Xiaorou sighed. "In fact, as long as she receives enough love from Father and as long as Father spares no expense to groom me, it's impossible for Mother to not be the target of jealousy. This can only be prevented if I cultivate to become a Fey Thearch or even ascend to the throne as Ruins Empress!

"Father has not had another child and probably also wishes to groom me. Father has done a lot for Mother, so I can't just depend on him. What will happen if he loses his feelings for Mother?

"By becoming crown designate, the cultivation resources would be better. I naturally have to vie for it. I wish for Mother to live the rest of her life in peace. I wish to fight for my future and wanted to find you, Yun'er.

"But now… you actually found me first. I'm really… very happy!"

Jiang Xiaorou's eyes were wet when she said that. All these years in the Chaos Heavens, although she was an elite, the apple of the Blood King's eye, and enjoyed extremely high status, it all put immense pressure on her!

She could not show her weak side to her father or confide her troubles in her mother, afraid that it would only add to her mother's burden, making her compunctious.

She could only share these words with Yi Yun.

"I get it, Sis Xiaorou." Yi Yun understood her. "Sis Xiaorou, since I'm back, I'll help you. You do not need to shoulder the burden anymore."

"Yun'er, I'm already very happy that you have such thoughts," said Jiang Xiaorou with a smile. "However, the situation in Heaven Fey City is complicated. I have too many enemies here. Countless people wish for me to topple from my pedestal and reduce to nothingness. Besides, these people all have powerful background. I do not wish for you to be implicated…

"Yun'er, if you really wish to help me, cultivate hard. I can see that you are already a Royal Sealed Divine Lord and you have limitless potential ahead of you. When you become a Godly Monarch, you can help me with that power. I look forward to the day you become Godly Monarch!"

Jiang Xiaorou smiled happily when she finished her sentence. She still remembered Yi Yun's becoming of a Jing Long Wei in the Cloud Wilderness, of him wearing the attire of a Kingdom Knight during his return. Back then, there was uncertainty about her fate, so it was an unforgettable scene to her.

"By the way, I heard that you went to Treasure Fey Pagoda to seek treasures at the Godly Monarch level?" asked Jiang Xiaorou.

Rain Numinous had mentioned Yi Yun's background, including the fake name he used and his goal at Treasure Fey Pagoda when she reported the situation to Jiang Xiaorou.

Jiang Xiaorou naturally needed to know everything about a guest mercenary of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor.

"That's right. I do need some precious material." Yi Yun did not hide anything from Jiang Xiaorou. He immediately mentioned the materials needed for the Myriad Form Shura Pill.

"That many natural treasures and Fey cores of ancient Fey… are indeed difficult to find, especially Celestial blood… These things…" Jiang Xiaorou paused.

"Celestial blood is taboo in the Chaos Heavens. It will infuriate the Celestials, but my Father might still have some Celestial blood left. It just might be very difficult for me to get it."

Yi Yun said, "Don't worry about Senior Blood King's Celestial blood. Sis Xiaorou, I actually want to use these items to refine a pill named the Myriad Form Shura Pill. It's a body-tempering pill that will be very useful to me. However, I won't need the entire cauldron of pills when refined. The remaining can also be helpful for the condensation of your ancestral bloodline."

Chapter 1635: Soft Clouds Mountain Manor
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

"Oh? There's such a pill?" Jiang Xiaorou was taken aback.

How could any ordinary pill have any effects on the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins bloodline? Even if there were any that could enhance the bloodline, making them required the most secret techniques possible. Furthermore, there was a need to expend large amounts of resources, and even so, the effects would be insignificant.

Jiang Xiaorou guessed that Yi Yun's pills were impressive, but they were mainly effective for humans. It was difficult to say how effective they were on the Heaven Fey royalty.

However, Jiang Xiaorou thought nothing of it. She thought for a moment before saying, "I will inform the Treasure Fey Pagoda to take note of the items. I'll get them to use private means to spread the news."

"Alright." Yi Yun nodded.

With Jiang Xiaorou being Princess Soft Clouds, he would naturally be able to find the materials faster than doing it alone.

"Yun'er, Xintong, stay in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. I still have so many things to say to you." Jiang Xiaorou held Yi Yun's hands as her eyes shimmered with delight.

Yi Yun smiled. "Don't worry, Sis Xiaorou. We wouldn't leave even if you wanted to chase us away. I'm just afraid that you will find me irritating whenever you see me."

"Look at you making fun of me now," said Jiang Xiaorou with a giggle.

They conversed for a little longer and while Jiang Xiaorou was preparing to get someone to settle in Yi Yun and company, she sent out a few voice transmission talismans. She made Treasure Fey Pagoda spread the news and pay attention to any information regarding the herbs and Fey cores.

After this was done, Jiang Xiaorou ate lunch with Yi Yun. The siblings seldom had a reunion meal, so they enjoyed it thoroughly.

After lunch, Jiang Xiaorou planned on sending Yi Yun to Soft Clouds Mountain Manor when she saw Rain Numinous standing by the hall's entrance.

"Aunt Rain."

"Young Master Lin is your younger brother?"

"Yes…" Jiang Xiaorou noticed that Rain Numinous did not appear to be happy.

"Does the news regarding the herbs you spread through Treasure Fey Pagoda have anything to do with your brother?"

Jiang Xiaorou turned embarrassed when Rain Numinous phrased her sentence that way.

"Do you know that your present status is very delicate in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins? Do you know how many eyes are staring at you?"

Jiang Xiaorou fell silent. She knew that it was impossible for Rain Numinous to like Yi Yun. If Yi Yun was a descendant of a family with a pure Fey bloodline, she would have definitely been happy, believing that they had an additional helping hand. However, Yi Yun was human.

Fey ostracized humans to begin with. And Jiang Xiaorou's identity was special. Her mother was of lowly birth and she was pampered by the Blood King. She was already under criticism, but now, there was the addition of a human brother.

Not only so, Jiang Xiaorou was even using the Treasure Fey Pagoda's resources to seek herbs for her brother.

"Leave Young Master Lin's arrangements to me. Treasure Fey Pagoda is still lacking a red-shirt store manager. He can be assigned there. It's best he does not stay in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor before you become a Fey Thearch. It's also best you do not meet often. As for the resources you wish to provide Young Master Lin, it's not impossible. However, it cannot affect your cultivation. Do you know how valuable those treasures you seek are?"

Rain Numinous's tone had become infuriated by the time she finished her sentence. She had been a follower of the Blood King for years. Her cultivation level was approaching that of a Fey Thearch's, so her standing in the Blood King Palace was higher than even the concubines. She was also considered Jiang Xiaorou's senior.

Usually, Rain Numinous was very polite to Jiang Xiaorou, but when she encountered anything she did not approve of, she would not hesitate to reprimand her.

"I have no idea how long it will take to become a Fey Thearch." Jiang Xiaorou frowned. She understood Rain Numinous's intentions. She did not want her to acknowledge Yi Yun before she became a Fey Thearch.

Being crown designate was a very sensitive matter. If a future Ruins Empress were to openly announce her siblinghood with a human—one that was so close—the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins would not feel at ease handing the throne of Ruins Empress to her. Perhaps, they might suspect, she would end up giving away all the resources of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins.

"Your Highness, you do know that the path to becoming a Fey Thearch is long and arduous. Only by becoming a mighty figure like the Blood King will Your Highness have the ability to protect those around you. Your Highness and Her Majesty are both protected by the Blood King."

"Aunt Rain, I understand what you are getting at. In fact, the pills my brother wishes to refine are also beneficial to my bloodline. Besides… you do not know my brother. He will not become a burden on me. Back in the lower realm, I was protected by him. Without him, I wouldn't even be standing here alive. He headed to the 12 Empyrean Heavens alone and, without a bloodline or family clan's support, he has attained this much. And now, he found me before I could find him! Aunt Rain, do you think I'll become a Fey Thearch first? Actually, it's more likely that Yun'er will become a Godly Monarch faster than me."

Jiang Xiaorou trusted Yi Yun wholeheartedly, but Rain Numinous shook her head.

Ignoring the fact that it was very difficult to produce a Godly Monarch—even if Yi Yun's talent was unparalleled, making it easy for him to become a Godly Monarch—Jiang Xiaorou was a royalty elite to begin with. For an elite royal to have the thought of being inferior to a human genius and even rely on them was unacceptable.

Rain Numinous felt that Jiang Xiaorou wished to groom Yi Yun into a Godly Monarch. That way, Jiang Xiaorou would indeed have a stabler future, but how could a future Ruins Empress rely on others?

Perhaps… Xiaorou was ultimately too soft in character. Although she had been fighting for the throne over the years, it was still too difficult to take it with her character.

"I'll arrange for Young Master Lin to live in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor… Also, I will report this to the Blood King."

Rain Numinous did not continue since Jiang Xiaorou was unamenable to advice. She decided to leave everything to the Blood King.

…

Soft Clouds Mountain Manor was located in the city district behind Heaven Fey City. It was considered outside the city. There were all sorts of manors that housed the different members of royalty nearby.

The mountain manor occupied a vast amount of land. Although it was described as a mountain manor, it was actually no different from a tiny city.

Picturesque scenes and rare beasts could be seen everywhere. It was like an immortal's paradise.

Rain Numinous was silent the entire way while Yi Yun and Lin Xintong followed her in tow. In fact, Yi Yun had guessed what was on Rain Numinous's mind.

His appearance had brought immense pressure on Jiang Xiaorou.

Furthermore, the resources he was seeking were priceless treasures.

Unfortunately, he had expended too much of what he obtained in the God Confusion Valley. If not, he would not have put Sis Xiaorou into a difficult position.

"Tell me if there's anything you need during your stay here in the mountain manor," When Rain Numinous said this, she gave Yi Yun a deep, meaningful look. "It's a critical period for Her Highness; she needs large amounts of resources to nourish her bloodline. In two years, she will be joining the Competition of the Fey Altar Spot, something that will determine her future! Her Highness cannot afford to fail!"

The Competition of the Fey Altar Spot?

Yi Yun's heart stirred, but he did not ask further.

Rain Numinous continued, "Everyone in the mountain manor is conserving resources. The Blood King has also provided Her Highness with large amounts of resources; so please be magnanimous if you encounter any poor hospitality from us."

Rain Numinous's attitude was cold, but her words remained polite.

How could Yi Yun not understand what she was getting at? He had changed his looks because of the Heavenly Dao fragment, but he felt that he could not keep a low profile anymore. Sis Xiaorou was already in a terrible state, so if he continued keeping a low profile, it was unlikely she could persist on. Furthermore, it would make refining the Myriad Form Shura Pill impossible.

"Senior Rain, it seems you are mistaken about me. I did have some intent of getting Sis Xiaorou's help to find the herbs, but those herbs when refined into pills would be very helpful to Sis Xiaorou as well."

Despite Yi Yun saying so, all Rain Numinous did was look at him indifferently. She did not even bother raising any doubts. How could a human understand the Heaven Fey bloodline that was highly confidential in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins? Even Fey Thearchs were unaware of those mystic techniques that enhanced one's bloodline.

"Senior Rain, there's nothing I can do if you choose not to believe me. However, I heard that Soft Clouds Mountain Manor has recruited many guest mercenaries. Then, please instruct me on the missions available. I'm still rather confident about my strength. Since I'm staying here, I have to pay my dues. As long as it's any chores below that of a Godly Monarch's attention, I can resolve them."

Rain Numinous was stunned when Yi Yun said so. She immediately became enraged.

Everything below a Godly Monarch was a chore?

This Yi Yun sure was arrogant!

Even Rain Numinous herself was not at the Fey Thearch realm!

"Fairy Rain, is this human the newly recruited mercenary? What arrogance. Did he just imply that all us are only here to do chores?"

At that moment, more than ten Fey warriors walked over. Most of them were at the Fey Lord realm and they were dressed differently.

They were mercenaries of the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor.

Yi Yun gave them a nonchalant glance. In fact, he had long noticed their impending arrival. How could they not greet Rain Numinous, a powerful housekeeper of Blood King Palace?

Despite noticing them, Yi Yun still threw out his sentence. He had no plans on keeping a low profile.

Upon seeing this scene, Rain Numinous fell silent. From her point of view, Yi Yun was only a mercenary, one who was especially difficult to handle. The mercenaries of the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor were all capable people. They were naturally proud people and were not impressed by anyone. Conflict between them was common and they resolved it among themselves. She was happy that Yi Yun had embroiled himself in the conflict for she could use the opportunity to take him down a notch.

Seeing Rain Numinous silent, Yi Yun understood her intentions. He roared with laughter. "What did Senior Rain say previously? Soft Clouds Mountain Manor is conserving resources for Her Highness Soft Clouds's cultivation?"

"I was finding it odd. Would Soft Clouds Mountain Manor be that short of resources? Now I understand that Soft Clouds Mountain Manor has been feeding a motley crew. These people do not do a thing despite consuming resources. Can the position of crown designate be won just by their eating? What a joke! If this continues, it would be better for Her Highness Soft Clouds to give up early. If these resources were saved up and I was the one put in charge of them, I can guarantee that these limited resources would be employed where they are needed most. Her Highness Soft Clouds would improve further!" Yi Yun said without a care.

He was a human and stuck out too much among a group of Fey. If he were to continue keeping a low profile, there was no need to refine the Myriad Form Shura Pill. Even if Sis Xiaorou wanted to help him, how could she freely use the Treasure Fey Pagoda's resources as a junior?

Even if he gleaned information of the whereabouts of the herbs, it was pointless if he could not buy them!

Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor mercenaries were infuriated. Even Rain Numinous felt displeased. Yi Yun was being too arrogant.

"Alright! Interesting!" The mercenaries present had been provoked by Yi Yun. A Fey Lord had produced an indistinct Heaven Fey totem behind him. He was from the Heaven Fey clan, but he was not of royal blood; therefore, his bloodline powers were limited.

But even so, he was considered the cream of the crop among Heaven Fey. He said, "Senior Rain, we should not keep such arrogant fools in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. A person like him will cause more harm than good. I'll cripple him and thrown him out today!"

The Fey Lord leaped up as all his lifeblood powers erupted. Like an uncaged beast, he charged at Yi Yun.

"Boom!"

He punched out with explosive lifeblood powers!

Yi Yun did not even move, for the silent Lin Xintong had stepped out from beside him and approached the Fey Lord like a ghost.

"Whoosh!"

She unsheathed her long sword, producing snow-like sword flashes. In an instant, the Fey Lord found his raging lifeblood freezing as though it had met the coldness of the deepest chasm. His blood frosted up and he could only watch helplessly as the sword stabbed at his chest.

"Puah!"

Blood splattered as ice formed in mid-air!

The other Fey Lords who had good relationships with him realized that the situation was amiss. Someone charged forward, but Lin Xintong's hands moved as fast as the wind. Her sword was thrust as a second person was sent flying by Lin Xintong.

"This woman is that strong?"

Everyone was astonished. The Fey were incensed that they were being repressed by a female human. A mercenary converged his aura in a bid to sneak an attack on Lin Xintong, but at that moment, another figure flew out from the God Advent Tower which Yi Yun brought around.

The figure was also a woman and she was none other than Shan Ling!

Shan Ling had a Fey Lord cultivation level. Previously, she had been seriously injured in the Xuanyuan Dune and did not have Chaos Ores to replenish her lifeblood, causing her to be devoid of strength. She had been like Yi Yun when he first arrived in the Chaos Heavens, and just like he was after the God Confusion Valley her lifeblood powers had long been replenished. Yi Yun had also given her the core cultivation technique of the Shaomang family clan. Her strength had even increased past her peak state.

Although she was not necessarily stronger than the Fey Lord mercenaries, it was no problem for her to withstand their blows.

"Boom!"

The sneaky Fey Lord's two fists were blocked by Shan Ling's single palm. Meanwhile, Lin Xintong had also slashed out with her sword as it headed straight for the his throat!

Sneaking an attack was a contemptible action, so Lin Xintong did not hold back either.

The sword flashes were incredulously fast as space was torn apart, revealing black rifts!

Upon seeing the sword flash surging towards him, the Fey Lord felt that his entire body was fixed in place by the sword's might. The sword's glimmer made the immobile him know that there was no question about where his brains would be in the next instant.

"Ah!"

With his life on the line, the Fey Lord yelled in horror.

"Enough!"

At that moment, Yi Yun lightly spoke out. Despite his voice being slow, he was able to finished the word in a composed manner in that split second.

"Cha!"

Lin Xintong's sword came to a sudden halt, right inside the Fey Lord's flesh.

A quarter of his neck had already been sliced opened!

The sword's blade did not fully penetrate him, but blood flowed down Lin Xintong's cold blade. The bodily defenses that the Fey were always proud of was nothing but paper mache to Lin Xintong's sword.

If Yi Yun had not shouted for her to stop, the Fey Lord would have been beheaded by Lin Xintong.

Instantly, there was silence. The Fey Lord who had his neck sliced open by Lin Xintong trembled, but he did not dare move.

"As I said, it's nothing but a motley crew. You can't even beat my woman and maidservant, and here you are scrounging for free food. If I were you, I would have committed suicide out of shame long ago." As Yi Yun spoke, he gave Rain Numinous a nonchalant look. He had done all of this because of the problematic woman.

"What? Maidservant?" The mercenaries looked at Shan Ling immediately. She was the weakest of them, so the so-called maidservant could only be her.

Brick Dao is is actually a branch of the Face-Slapping Dao. I expect we wil learn the Heavenly Dao Fragment he made into a Royal Seal is focused on face-slapping.

Chapter 1636: Marquis Bi Lin
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

Shan Ling fell silent after she stopped her attacks.

Although the Desolate clan was inferior to the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins, Shaomang Xuan's standing in the Desolate clan was extraordinary. He was already halfway considered a member of the Desolate clan's upper echelons.

This was in no way inferior to the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins candidates who were vying to be crown designate. Back when Yi Yun met Shan Ling, he was extremely surprised that she was just a mere maidservant despite her talent.

It was fine if it was Shaomang Xuan having Shan Ling as a maidservant, that was considered normal.

However, Yi Yun was human!

At this moment, Shan Ling was already using the Star Transference Heaven Changing Book to change her looks. The present crowd did not know where Shan Ling came from. They found it baffling that a genius female Fey who had become a Fey Lord at such a young age would be willing to be a human Divine Lord's maidservant.

There was also Lin Xintong. Her bone age was frightening small, yet she had freakish combat strength. She had just fought four alone; if not for Yi Yun's instruction to halt the fight, she would have already slain one of them. Such talent made everyone present extremely embarrassed.

They were too useless. Compared to this human girl, it was like they had lived their lives in vain.

And for a human like Yi Yun, a female Fey Lord was willing to submit to him while a peerless genius was willing to be his woman. How could he be weak?

"Senior Rain, I will not be a freeloader in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. I do need Her Highness Soft Clouds to provide me with some resources, but when used by me, they would be much more meaningful than rearing this motley crew."

Yi Yun spoke without any qualms. It was practically smacking them in the face, but no one dared to retort him. The human girl's sword was still at the Fey Lord's neck and had yet been retracted!

The Fey Lord did not even dare move.

"Hahahaha! I was wondering who it was to be this arrogant!" At that moment, there was a long laughter.

Everyone looked over and saw a man dressed in a python robe. His eyes were sharp and he had the air of a king.

Upon seeing this man, everyone was delighted.

"Marquis Bi Lin!"

"It's Marquis Bi Lin!"

Marquis Bi Lin?

Yi Yun looked at the man and was unsure what his identity was. However, he was definitely someone of importance in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins considering how he was conferred the title of marquis.

"Peak Fey Lord…"

Yi Yun sensed the man's cultivation level. Fey Lord cultivation levels naturally had its own power that matched human Divine Lords.

Humans were categorized by the number of Divine Lord Royal Seals they condensed.

As for Fey Lords, they were categorized by the number of times their Fey cores were tempered. Tempered Fey core, double-tempered Fey core, and triple-tempered Fey core corresponded to the Royal Sealed Divine Lord, double-sealed Divine Lord, and triple-sealed Divine Lords.

In fact, the number of temperings did not fully represent one's strength. Some Fey's single tempering of their Fey core was equivalent to the triple-tempering of others' Fey cores.

It was the same principle with Divine Lord Royal Seals. For instance, Yi Yun's Divine Lord Royal Seal alone was worth more than ten seals of others. The Heavenly Dao Royal Seal was just too terrifying. It was almost impossible for Yi Yun to fuse with another Heavenly Dao Royal Seal, much less three.

Under such a situation, being a double-sealed Divine Lord was Yi Yun's limit.

However, with the degree of tempering impossible to determine while identifying the number of tempering a Fey core had, it became the standard to determine a Fey Lord's strength.

At this moment, Marquis Bi Lin was deliberately showcasing his strength—it was none other than a triple-tempered Fey core!

This was a clear show of force. Typical Fey Lords would not flaunt the level of tempering of their Fey cores. Many would even deliberately keep it a secret.

"Is this an opening gambit?" Yi Yun chuckled. It was obviously meant for him.

However, a question puzzled him. He originally believed that the people who lived in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor were all her guest mercenaries. However, why was a marquis among them?

This person appeared to have a very unique standing.

Yi Yun noticed that Rain Numinous looked at Marquis Bi Lin with a hint of barely perceptible displeasure.

Rain Numinous actually does not like Marquis Bi Lin? As such, Yi Yun was even more certain that Marquis Bi Lin was not Jiang Xiaorou's guest mercenary. At the very least, he was not one under the same framework as others.

But under such circumstances, the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's mercenaries seemed to respect him and even honor him. That seemed interesting.

"Why don't you give a self-introduction?" asked Yi Yun nonchalantly.

Marquis Bi Lin did not say a word, but his subordinate beside him said proudly, "My master is a Heaven Fey marquis. His elder sister, Madam Bi Yun, was married into the Blood King Palace and was given the title of Imperial Noble Consort! Marquis's noble title was conferred by the reigning Ruins Emperor!"

A few words from the subordinate made Yi Yun understand. So this fellow was the Blood King's brother-in-law. For the Blood King to add a concubine to his harem, it was nothing odd choosing a junior who was a few thousand years old. It was likely that Madam Bi Yun was young.

Interesting. The Blood King's queen was Xiaorou's mother. The Imperial Noble Consort was likely second to the queen.

Since Bi Yun could become Imperial Noble Consort while Bi Lin was conferred marquis, it likely meant that the Bi family was extremely terrifying. Perhaps a large part of the pressure Xiaorou's mother was facing came from the Bi family!

Marquis Bi Lin was not much older than Shaomang Xuan. With the aggression that came with his young age and his good background, how could a genius that viewed himself as superior be only willing to be marquis?

He probably wanted to cause stirs during court sessions with the emperor! Therefore, he temporarily lived in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor and built ties with Jiang Xiaorou's mercenaries. In name, he was helping Jiang Xiaorou fight for the title of crown designate, but who knew what he was really up to?

Now that Blood King only had Jiang Xiaorou as a child, if Madam Bi Yun were to bear a child, what would Marquis Bi Lin do?

This was likely why Rain Numinous did not like Marquis Bi Lin.

In just a simple introduction, Yi Yun had guessed almost everything about Marquis Bi Lin. The relationships among the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins royalty sure was complicated!

"I heard that my niece recently acknowledged a younger brother?" Marquis Bi Lin said languidly.

Yi Yun was momentarily taken aback before he jolted to his senses. Marquis Bi Lin was referring to Jiang Xiaorou as his niece. However, what kind of status did Jiang Xiaorou have? He was being too casual calling her his niece.

Furthermore, Jiang Xiaorou had only reunited with him for less than half a day. Yet, he had already learned of the news. It was obvious that he kept Jiang Xiaorou under close scrutiny.

"I heard that the out-of-the-blue brother's surname is Lin. Could it be you… Young Master Lin? Hahaha!" Marquis Bi Lin laughed out rapturously. "In terms of familial seniority, you should call me uncle. This Soft Clouds Mountain Manor has fallen under my direction in recent times. The resources are also handled by me. Why, are you questioning my management of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor?"

The second half of Marquis Bi Lin's sentence turned stern!

He had a triple-tempered Fey core and was already standing at the peak of Fey Lords. No matter how much of a genius Lin Xintong was, how could he mind it? How could he permit Yi Yun to wreak havoc in a territory he ruled over?

"So you are the useless housekeeper of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor!" Yi Yun roared with laughter. "It's no wonder the motley crew looked like they were licking boots the moment you appeared. So you are the one who has been handing out the resources? Are you using Her Highness Soft Clouds's resources to develop your own faction? When Madam Bi Yun produces offspring, you can use these connections to pull over these good-for-nothings and come under a new master, right? Hahaha!"

It could be said that Yi Yun spoke without any fear!

When he said that, Marquis Bi Lin's expression turned livid. Everyone around had a change in expression, including Rain Numinous. Her eyes focused on Yi Yun!

Yi Yun's words had offended many! Such things were understood, but never spoken.

This was because Madam Bi Yun's background was too powerful. She was unable to be queen when she married the Blood King, so she could only be Imperial Noble Consort. With most of Blood King Palace's resources provided to Jiang Xiaorou, allowing Marquis Bi Lin to handle finance was actually a form of compensation.

This was a silent undertaking everyone knew, but Yi Yun had ruthlessly exposed it.

"I must say that your sister's name sure is inauspicious. Madam Bi Yun sounds like Madam Contraception 1  . Yet she probably will not have offspring the rest of her life." The second half of Yi Yun's sentence was said with a voice transmission. He was not afraid of Madam Contraception, but stirring trouble with her implicated the Blood King. It was not wise to say it in public.

"You have a death wish!" Yi Yun's words infuriated Marquis Bi Lin. He never expected Yi Yun to be that arrogant! It was not a mere provocation anymore, for it was reason for him to kill Yi Yun.

"Ah!" At that moment, Marquis Bi Lin's body emitted a roar. His lifeblood powers boiled as azure lifeblood manifested and an azure wyrm phantom behind him!

The azure wyrm gyrated as it stirred the clouds and rain! The entire sky above the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor was covered with black clouds in a tempestuous manner.

"One with an ant's strength dares fight a True Dragon?" Yi Yun suddenly smacked down when he saw Marquis Bi Lin erupt his strength.

The palm brought with it the power of the Heavenly Dao, making it as though the heavens were collapsing!

"Ka-cha!"

The gathered clouds obviously could not withstand the smiting blow as they disintegrated apart! Even the wyrm behind Marquis Bi Lin that flailed its claws had vanished suddenly. It was as though it had experienced the greatest horror and was immediately sent into hiding!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The protective lifeblood defenses that protected Marquis Bi Lin appeared like shards of glass. They exploded and suppressed Marquis Bi Lin to the ground.

"You!"

The corners of Marquis Bi Lin's mouth seeped blood. His face was filled with horror for he never expected Yi Yun to be so powerful.

"Ah!" Marquis Bi Lin roared out as strange blood patterns surfaced over his body. It appeared like a particular family clan mystic art, but Yi Yun thought nothing of it. He continued exerting strength with his palm as Marquis Bi Lin's blood patterns exploded with cracking sounds!

From the side, Rain Numinous watched in horror. The Bi family's wyrm mystic art involved their distant ancestors' bloodlines. Although Marquis Bi Lin was only able to revealed limited strength, it should not have been so easily cracked by Yi Yun. Yi Yun's strength was just too terrifying.

He was probably approaching that of a quasi-Godly Monarch!

"As I mentioned before, Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's housekeeper should be changed. Look at you, not only do you cause a mess in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. All of you are nothing but trash to begin with, but you had the nerve to use your middling bloodline powers to fight me?"

"You made me think of you as an expert when you showcased your triple-tempered Fey core. From the looks of it, your triple-tempered Fey core is only for show; it has no bark.

Yi Yun kept shaking his head as Marquis Bi Lin struggled desperately. However, he remained held to the ground. His flesh and blood was beginning to disintegrate, but he was unable to stand up while slumped on the ground. It was an utter humiliation!

The corners of Yi Yun's mouth curled up as he said to Lin Xintong, "Xintong, shatter his Fey core."

"Alright." Lin Xintong drew her sword. She could not be bothered with Marquis Bi Lin's identity. Yi Yun was her husband, and so only listen to him alone.

Upon seeing Lin Xintong's cold gaze while showing no hesitation to deliver the blow, Marquis Bi Lin's expression changed. Once a Fey core was destroyed, it was basically gone!

"Shut up!" The person who had spoken was Rain Numinous. "You can't touch him."

Marquis Bi Lin had a powerful background. Crippling him only meant immense trouble.

Yi Yun smiled. "Since Senior Rain is pleading on his behalf, I can spare him. However… this person is too much of a good-for-nothing. I don't think he's suitable to be housekeeper of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. Why don't you give the position to me?"

Yi Yun said those words openly, causing the surroundings warriors to break out into cold sweat.

This Yi Yun was too domineering!

They originally saw Rain Numinous bring a human Divine Lord over and believed they could bully him. Humans among Fey were like lambs encountering a pack of wolves. However, they never expected that Yi Yun was akin to a ferocious Ancient Fey!

All of them added up, together with Marquis Bi Lin, who was both powerful and a strong background, had been suppressed by Yi Yun!

Rain Numinous gave Yi Yun a glance as she fell silent.

She really did not like Yi Yun, finding him too arrogant. It was obvious that he had immense ambition and, with Xiaorou's unconditional trust in him, Rain Numinous was worried, afraid that he would fool Xiaorou. Was Xiaorou able to control such a brother?

Of course, Rain Numinous also disliked Marquis Bi Lin. His savage ambition was basically obvious!

Although Yi Yun might fool Jiang Xiaorou, he ultimately could still be genuine towards Xiaorou.

As for the Marquis Bi Lin, it was already a given fact. Weighing the pros and cons, it was better if Yi Yun became a housekeeper.

If he was made to give up his position because of his inferiority, Madam Bi Yun would not be able to say a word.

Therefore, Rain Numinous chose not to say anything.

Marquis Bi Lin insisted, "I'm a son of the Bi clan. If you dare maim me, the Bi clan will absolutely not spare you!"

"Oh? That frightens me." Yi Yun scoffed as he gave Lin Xintong a glance. "Satisfy him."

Without a word, Lin Xintong attacked immediately.

The sword flashes were like three-feet white silk as they stabbed straight into Marquis Bi Lin's Fey core!

"Ah!"

Marquis Bi Lin let out a bellow, but at that moment, Lin Xintong's sword had penetrated out his body. There was no hesitation in her attack!

"Ding!"

The sword had torn right through his flesh, stopping when the tip touched the Fey core.

I was not because Lin Xintong had held back, but it was because Rain Numinous was holding down Lin Xintong's sword.

Rain Numinous was alarmed as well. This girl actually dared attack! If she had not intercepted the blow, Marquis Bi Lin would have been crippled!

At that moment, Marquis Bi Lin was covered in sweat. At his position, being crippled was worse than death. Even if it was possible to exact revenge on Yi Yun, being crippled meant being crippled. There was no return.

"You… You…" Marquis Bi Lin's lips trembled.

"From this day forth, the position of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's housekeeper shall be left to Young Master Lin," Rain Numinous gave Yi Yun a deep, meaningful look as she said.

Immediately, she sent a voice transmission into Yi Yun's ear. "I know you are ambitious, but Xiaorou trusts you greatly. If you cheat her, I'll absolutely not spare you!"

"Ambitious?" Yi Yun smiled. "I believe you are mistaken, Senior Rain. My ambition doesn't lie with the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins. I wanted the position of housekeeper because I believe it makes things more convenient!"

Chapter 1637: Jiang Yuchan
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

"What did you say?" Yi Yun's words stunned Rain Numinous. This punk had such an arrogant tone. He was actually saying that his ambition did not lie in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins?

What did this mean? Was he saying that the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins was too tiny, that he wasn't impressed by it?

His sister could become crown designate; thus, Jiang Xiaorou might possibly become Ruins Empress one day. That would make her one of the most honored persons in the Chaos Heavens. Above the Ruins Emperor, there were only figures like the Fey Patriarchs or Soul Patriarchs. Many of those patriarchs had lived for hundreds of millions of years to billions of years.

With such a sister, anyone would wish to use her as leverage to advance themselves, riding that advantage as high as they could. If they were talented, it was possible for them to receive the bloodline transplantation of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins to become a postnatal Fey.

Although the Fey were not fond of postnatal Fey, since the idea had the sense of abandoning their own roots, thriving in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins was impossible to do as a human. So what if one became a postnatal Fey in order to thrive?

Furthermore, Jiang Xiaorou's trust in and feelings for Yi Yun would definitely result in her transplanting him with the best royal bloodline. That would have been a huge opportunity for Yi Yun.

Despite having such a promising future to look forward to, Yi Yun seemed to think nothing of it. This left Rain Numinous feeling displeased. She felt that not only was Yi Yun ambitious, but that he was ridiculously ambitious.

If he did not think the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins was good enough, was he thinking of becoming Ruins Emperor or the Fey Patriarch?

Yi Yun guessed at what Rain Numinous was thinking and said, "Senior Rain, I do not think much of this position as housekeeper, nor do I intend to use it to soar. My stay here is firstly to refine pills and secondly to help my sister!

"I wish to refine a special kind of pill. This pill will be very beneficial to Sis Xiaorou. I need the authority for the allocation of resources."

If this was fifteen minutes before, Yi Yun's words would have caused him to be thrown out by Rain Numinous. But it was different now. A person's strength gave him the right to speak. Even if a person's strength was uncorrelated with their ability to refine pills.

Rain Numinous said, "I previously mentioned that there will be a Competition of the Fey Altar Spot in two years. It will influence Xiaorou's future. Although the Blood King has given a sizable amount of resources, using them would burn a hole in our pocket. If you want to buy the things you want, it's unknown how expensive it will be!"

Yi Yun laughed. "The enhancement of bloodline cannot be bought for any price. Limited resources should be employed where they are needed most. So what if you have many guest mercenaries? All they do is some chores or allow for a show of force by publicly announcing that you have three thousand guest mercenaries. It's all pointless. If one has redoubtable strength, why would one need to hire guest mercenaries? Just one's title would make the populace submit to them. When the time comes, there will be people racking their brains, hoping to become Sis Xiaorou's servant."

Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Rain Numinous was at a loss for words and was enraged.

Wasn't this obvious? Who didn't know that being strong was the best? You might as well talk about breaking through to the Godly Monarch realm tomorrow. What's the point in saying any of this?

If one's strength was unable to stand out among all the royal candidates, they could only compete using the power and size of the faction they could amass. The stronger the faction, the more evident of a candidate's prestige and ability. And being Ruins Emperor required the ability to rally the masses.

Rain Numinous did not wish to be bothered with Yi Yun any further, and Yi Yun didn't care either. He continued asking, "What is the Competition of the Fey Altar Spot?"

Rain Numinous could not be bothered to explain, but since it was not a secret in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins, she said, "In two years, the few top royalty clans in the Chaos Heavens will jointly hold a trial for the members of the royalty that tests them on every aspect! At the end of the trial, not only will one's reputation be affected, the results will also influence the allocation of a mystic realm spots.

"All the Heaven Fey candidates for crown designate will be participating! The disciples who obtain first place would receive handsome rewards, and one of them being… the entry into the Fey Altar!

"The Fey Altar is an altar that worships the heavens in one of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins' forbidden grounds. Over the billions of years, the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins has had many powerful Fey choose to die in there before their natural death. The lifeblood powers that release upon their death continue lingering in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins' forbidden ground. If one used a mystic technique to stir the powers, especially if it was a peerless genius, they could call upon the Heavenly Tribulation on the altar!

"That Heavenly Tribulation can reach up the twelfth stage. It is the most supreme Heavenly Tribulation that can temper one's body!

"This is a dream every prince or princess yearns for. However, the Heavenly Tribulation is too intense. If they aren't careful, they can end up completely annihilated.

"Xiaorou has cultivated for too short a time. She is in need of such supreme Heavenly Tribulation body tempering. This is also fundamental to the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins."

Yi Yun's eyes lit up when Rain Numinous mentioned that.

The supreme twelve Heavenly Tribulations. He never expected such a prize!

Indeed. Heavenly Tribulations were something the Fey had to experience. It was not strange that there was such a reward.

The peerless Fey geniuses would undergo a lifeblood Heavenly Tribulation to temper their body and obtain tremendous opportunities before they cultivated to become Fey Thearchs.

Human Divine Lords could condense Divine Lord Royal Seals to enhance their strengths. But for Fey Lords, they similarly had to temper their Fey cores. The number of temperings corresponded to the number of Divine Lord Royal Seals condensed. It was difficult to tell which was better.

And under such circumstances, peerless Fey geniuses had an additional aspect of Heavenly Tribulation. It was something humans lacked!

This was also why, among the top races in the Chaos Heavens, humans were especially repressed by the Fey.

Yi Yun's body tempering was in dire need of a Heavenly Tribulation. His Dragon Emperor bloodline had only experienced a Heavenly Tribulation once in the Sinkhole, but it was only a quasi-Heavenly Tribulation. It was artificial and was far weaker than the Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Tribulation.

If he were to experience the twelve Heavenly Tribulations, the benefits were obvious.

However, it was impossible for the Fey to allow humans to enter their Fey altar.

Regardless, he had to help Jiang Xiaorou win that spot first. If not, there was no chance at all.

Rain Numinous said," Young Master Lin, you are Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's housekeeper. There are many of the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor resources which you can allocate, but the things you need will not be affordable even if you bankrupt it. As for the rest, you could apply for them from the Blood King."

Yi Yun smiled. "Senior Rain, I did not say that all the resources are to be paid for by Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. I will also be earning large amounts of wealth in the coming days. Perhaps when the time comes, Soft Clouds Mountain Manor might not need to come up with much of it."

Upon hearing that, Rain Numinous was left speechless. To buy that much precious items, anything less than a thousand or two thousand Chaos Crystals was insufficient. What did Yi Yun have that could allow him to earn that much?

Rain Numinous could not be bothered wasting her breath on him when she saw how confident he was.

If one was able to earn that much wealth in a short period of time, even the various Fey Thearchs in Heaven Fey City would be far inferior to them. Even the Blood King was inferior to that.

"I'll leave you to your own devices."

Rain Numinous walked off and left the numerous mercenaries looking at Yi Yun in apprehension.

"Take me to the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's storehouse," said Yi Yun. Being in charge of the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's resources was a manifestation of his power as housekeeper.

"Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's storehouse is on Marquis Bi Lin's hand. That ring with swirling clouds…" said a mercenary.

The storehouse was brought around by the housekeeper, but an inventory check had to be made every day. Every item that entered and taken out was recorded.

Yi Yun beckoned his hand, causing the ring in Marquis Bi Lin's hand to fly into his hand. Marquis Bi Lin was filled with hatred, but he did not dare resist. Instead, he took the initiative to wipe off the mental imprint in the ring. If Yi Yun were to wipe it off by force, it would damage his psyche severely.

"Audit the accounts!"

Yi Yun went straight to the auditing room. He knew that Marquis Bi Lin's accounts were definitely faked! It would not surprise him if Marquis Bi Lin had siphoned off many resources while he was housekeeper of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor.

However, this was likely something Rain Numinous knew very well. It was just unknown how much he had siphoned off.

Yi Yun did not plan on using this to put Marquis Bi Lin to death since his appointment as housekeeper was a form of compensation to Consort Bi Yun.

It was not necessary to audit the accounts. All Yi Yun wanted to do was ensure that the accounts were square, that they matched the records.

The Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's reserves were nothing impressive. All the various treasures within when converted to Chaos Crystal amounted to about fifty.

It was identical to the records. Even though Marquis Bi Lin had faked the accounts, he did not siphon off things that were clearly recorded in the books.

"Fifty Chaos Crystals. It can be used to buy a few treasured herbs, but it would not be enough to buy Fey cores of powerful Fey or Celestial Blood."

"And to earn that many resources in a short period of time, even an Alchemy Thearch or a Godly Monarch-ranked Crystal Refinement Grandmaster would find it difficult."

Yi Yun was pondering over the matter when a voice transmission talisman lit up in front of him.

It was sent by Jiang Xiaorou. She had informed the Treasure Fey Pagoda to spread the news that a Fey Thearch was purchasing some treasures. An ancient Fey clan had produced one of them—Golden Feather Immortal Pistil.

Yi Yun was delighted. Only he knew that to receive news this fast was probably not as simple as Jiang Xiaorou had depicted.

The Golden Feather Immortal Pistil was offered for twelve Chaos Crystals. According to Yi Yun's understanding of market prices, it was considered cheap. Perhaps the ancient Fey clan had the intention to befriend the Blood King.

In the following days, Yi Yun took up residence in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. In the backyard of Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, there was an even smaller yard.

When Yi Yun first entered that yard, he was hit by countless memories. The yard was identical to the Soft Clouds Mountain Manor in the Tian Yuan world.

He knew very well that this tiny area was probably Jiang Xiaorou's final bastion of peace. When she was exhausted both in body and mind from her battles in the Chaos Heavens, she would come here to calm her mind and rest.

"Behind this is Her Highness's residence. Her Highness had specially left such a place when Soft Clouds Mountain Manor was built. It was renovated into such a garden."

A Fey maidservant explained as she guided Yi Yun. Being new here, although many people did not like him because of his overbearing and violent nature, they had to show him fear and respect. Now, all the maidservants in Soft Clouds Mountain Manor shuddered in fear when they saw him.

In the coming days, Jiang Xiaorou also frequently came to the yard.

In her spare time, she would have tea, play chess, and chat with Yi Yun and Lin Xintong. They led warm and calm days like mortals. It was a happy time.

"Yun'er, Xintong, try this. This tea is brewed using Fey Spirit Fruits and ten-thousand-year-old spring water from the deepest lakes and boiled with a thousand-year fire plume. It has a very unique taste." Jiang Xiaorou personally poured the tea for Yi Yun and Lin Xintong.

Although the maidservant pretended to ignore this scene, she felt mixed emotions. Her Highness Soft Clouds had deep feelings for this brother of hers. She had been serving the manor for more than a century, but she had never seen Jiang Xiaorou appear so close to anyone. Of course, if the Blood King came, Jiang Xiaorou would naturally show respect and love, but she would not look as relaxed.

"I definitely have to taste what Sis Xiaorou extols so much," said Yi Yun with a smile.

At this moment, a voice transmission talisman suddenly flew to Jiang Xiaorou's side. She hesitated for a moment before her expression changed slightly.

"What is it, Sis Xiaorou?"

"I had arranged the Treasure Fey Pagoda to purchase the herbs, but the Luyuan clan which had agreed to sell us the Golden Feather Immortal Pistil has gone back on their word! They plan on participating in an auction which sells their clan's treasures. The Golden Feather Immortal Pistil will be one of the highlights of the auction."

"Oh?" Yi Yun pricked up his brows. "An auction?"

Over the past few days, Yi Yun gained some understanding of the Luyuan clan because of the Golden Feather Immortal Pistil. It was not a huge clan, but at its level, it was completely inadequate to privately hold an auction.

"Where's the auction venue?" asked Yi Yun.

"Nine Tribulations Veranda," said Jiang Xiaorou. She had a general idea what Yi Yun was suspecting. She added, "Nine Tribulations Veranda is a faction under the Luo King. The Luo King's grandson, Jiang Yuchan, is the nineteenth prince."

In the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins, only acknowledged princes and princesses were ranked according to age. The others were not even qualified to be given a ranking.

The Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins had so many princes and princesses, but there were fewer than forty who actually ranked.

Jiang Yuchan had the advantage over Jiang Xiaorou in the competition of being crown designate due to his status as nineteenth prince.

The main reason was that the Luo King had greater qualifications than the Blood King!

Although the Blood King was powerful, he had returned to the Chaos Heavens for less than a thousand years. However, the Luo King had been in power for a million years!

He had three main estates under him: The Nine Tribulations Veranda, Fey Blood Plains, and City North Manor.

Among the three, the Fey Blood Plains had the highest income.

Jiang Xiaorou said, "The Nine Tribulations Veranda auction will be held about three days from now. I'm planning on letting Store Manager Yuchi to attend…"

"Forget it. Don't bother going!" Yi Yun said.

Since he was Soft Clouds Mountain Manor's housekeeper, he had a general understanding of the resources her competitors had. Jiang Yuchan's grandfather, the Luo King, was not on good terms with the Blood King. It could even be said that they had a grudge.

Back when the Blood King's talent was nothing to brag about, his mother had died from a scheming plot. Due to his lacking strength, he could only tolerate it. Later, he became a Fey Thearch and returned for revenge. Most of the people who participated in the plot to kill his mother were killed! And among them was the Luo King's mother, who had some involvement in the plot. However, there was insufficient evidence and the Luo King's mother had a significant background, so the matter was left at that.

As such, it was obvious how intense the competition between Jiang Xiaorou and Jiang Yuchan was.

There was a vendetta from both generations!

Under such circumstances, wouldn't Jiang Yuchan get someone to bid up the prices on anything Jiang Xiaorou wanted to purchase? Especially the Golden Feather Immortal Pistil. It was also very useful to him, so it would not be a loss if he managed to purchase it.

Yi Yun said, "Since the Nine Tribulations Veranda is Jiang Yuchan's territory, it will cost us at least thirty Chaos Crystals even if we win the bidding war."

Chapter 1638: Meeting the Fey Thearch
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

Jiang Xiaorou had guessed at what Yi Yun had to say too.

The biggest conglomerate in the Heaven Fey City was the Treasure Fey Pagoda and the Nine Tribulations Veranda only barely ranked in the top five. But in terms of auctions, the Nine Tribulations Veranda was the Treasure Fey Pagoda's equal.

The Treasure Fey Pagoda typically only auctioned their own treasures. They sold large quantities, but the average price was slightly lower.

As for the Nine Tribulations Veranda, they only auctioned top treasures!

"But Yun'er, this Golden Feather Immortal Pistil is rare to begin with. If we were to miss it this time…"

"It doesn't matter. It's just a Golden Feather Immortal Pistil. Even if Jiang Yuchan didn't came knocking on my door, I would have gone to him. I never expected him to be the one who initiated it. Sis Xiaorou, don't worry. In less than five days, I will make Jiang Yuchan hand over the Golden Feather Immortal Pistil to me obediently, and even compensate me with some resources!"

Jiang Xiaorou was taken aback when she heard Yi Yun. If she did not know Yi Yun so well, she would have believed that he was bragging.

"Yun'er, what do you plan on doing? Are you planning on trouncing Jiang Yuchan directly and snatching the Golden Feather Immortal Pistil from him? You are a human after all. I won't be able to protect you if you were to storm the Luo King Palace…"

Yi Yun chuckled and said, "Sis Xiaorou, don't worry. How could I incriminate myself? My strength is still lacking, so I'll have to abide by the rules of Heaven Fey City as I act! The Blood King has a vendetta with the Luo King, so as long as I abide by the rules, they can do nothing about me!"

Jiang Xiaorou nodded. On this matter, her father was definitely standing on Yi Yun's side.

…

While Jiang Xiaorou was discussing with Yi Yun, Rain Numinous had already recorded all that Yi Yun had done the past few days into a voice transmission talisman before sending it to the Blood King.

The Blood King paid a lot of attention to Jiang Xiaorou. Rain Numinous would report Jiang Xiaorou's performance to him at fixed intervals. And this time, with the sudden appearance of Yi Yun, she naturally had to report everything about her human brother in detail.

Of course, Rain Numinous was not fond of Yi Yun. Her report was filled with veiled criticism, but of course, the so-called criticisms were facts.

For example, Yi Yun's request for Jiang Xiaorou to help him obtain resources, buying him massive amounts of herbs to refine the Myriad Form Shura Pill.

Another example was despite Yi Yun being powerful, he was arrogant. He acted in a domineering manner, and had repressed numerous mercenaries the moment he arrived at Soft Clouds Mountain Manor. His tone was condescending and he had trounced Marquis Bi Lin, snatching his position as housekeeper.

After doing all of that and snatching the position of housekeeper, he had claimed that his ambition laid beyond the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins, that it was too small for his development.

Yet, Jiang Xiaorou thought very highly of Yi Yun. It made Rain Numinous worried that Yi Yun's status as a human would give others a reason to attack and scheme against Jiang Xiaorou.

When the voice transmission flare extinguished, a towering figure who sat on a Fey bone throne was pondering over something.

Other than what Rain Numinous had to say, he even knew that Yi Yun had insulted Lady Bi Yun by calling her infertile. Marquis Bi Lin had already complained about this to his sister, and it was obvious how angry Lady Bi Yun was.

How could the Blood King not know of that?

Even though he appreciated Yi Yun's talent, his disrespect to Lady Bi Yun made the Blood King slightly unhappy despite him being aware of the Lady Bi Yun's cheap tricks. Regardless of what she plotted, she was still Yi Yun's senior.

Blood King was also worried that Yi Yun was exploiting Jiang Xiaorou.

With this in mind, the man flicked a voice transmission talisman. Purple flames tore through the void and flew towards Soft Clouds Mountain Manor.

Jiang Xiaorou was still discussing the matter about Jiang Yuchan when she received the shimmering purple voice transmission talisman. Jiang Xiaorou's heart palpitated.

"Yun'er, my father wishes to meet you!"

"Alright!" Yi Yun answered immediately; clearly, this turn of events was within his expectations!

…

The Blood King Palace was situated in the middle of Heaven Fey City. It spanned five kilometers and was extremely opulent.

However, the Blood King seldom stayed in the Blood King Palace. His cultivation grounds were on a spirit mountain north of the city.

This spirit mountain stood straight like a sword, stabbing straight into the clouds. The peak was perennially covered in snow, and it was surrounded by steep cliffs hundreds of thousands of feet, making it seem untraversable!

At the peak of the mountain, there was a tiny lake that never froze. Seated cross-legged in the lake's pavilion was a black-robed man. In front of him was a zither.

The snowy mountains, the shimmering lake, the pavilion, the clear, blue skies, seemed like a picturesque scene. However, despite the vista, the black-robed man was playing a tune filled with murderous vibes. It left one's blood boiling!

Yi Yun stood in front of the Blood King and faced the murderous tones.

At that instant, Yi Yun felt as though he was inside a mystic realm's desert. He was facing countless heretic demons who were brandishing their swords!

This was the… Blood King's Dao!?

Yi Yun came to a realization. Back when the Blood King left the Heaven Fey royalty, he had joined the battle in the mystic realm battlefield alone. He went through many life and death situations, slaughtering enemies for thousands of years, almost to the point of having a deviation!

This forged his indestructible killing Dao!

Of course, if the Blood King had not entered the Tian Yuan world later and led a peaceful life with Jiang Xiaorou's mother that slowly quenched his zealous killing intent, he was bound to proceed further down the path of killing, until he was controlled by it, losing himself in the process.

It was also for this reason that despite Jiang Xiaorou's mother being of ordinary birth, she was his only love.

Now, the Blood King's zither tunes were filled with his killing Dao. Ordinary warriors would probably lose themselves if they listened too intently to the zither tunes and got immersed.

"Zheng! Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!"

The zither tunes attacked Yi Yun like swords. Although they could be described as remnant blasts previously, they were now aimed at Yi Yun!

At that instant, Yi Yun felt that he was facing a Shura hell!

The zither music also inundated Yi Yun like a roaring sea of blood!

At that instant, countless figures emerged from the blood of sea—Fey dragons that spread their wings in flight, roaring lions and tigers, and countless blood refined soldiers who brandished their spears or swords of blood. All of them rushed at Yi Yun like an entire battalion of soldiers!

The surging force was enough to make one confused and lose themselves.

"The Blood King is indeed strong, much stronger than Golden Winged Celestial Peng!"

For the Blood King to go from having mediocre talent to forging a killing Dao without losing himself before returning to the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins as a Fey Thearch, he was definitely someone not to be messed with!

However, Yi Yun's experiences were equally extraordinary!

Although he was young, he had experienced countless dangers over the years. The situations he had been placed in had far exceeded many Godly Monarchs. He had refined a Heavenly Dao fragment to become his Divine Lord Royal Seal. Even while inside the Blood King's killing Dao, he was able to easily extricate himself.

"Ha!"

Yi Yun's eyes widened suddenly as his gaze gathered the Heavenly Dao, manifesting it into something material before releasing it like thousands of arrows!

The blood mist shadows were penetrated by Yi Yun's gaze again and again!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The blood mist dissipated as Yi Yun's eyes shone with a crystalline shimmer. The Blood King's zither tunes came to a sudden halt.

"Greetings Blood King, I'm Yi Yun." Yi Yun took a step forward and bowed at the Blood King!

The Blood King opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Yi Yun.

Yi Yun continued maintaining his bow. The Blood King was Jiang Xiaorou's birth father and was a man who wore his heart on his sleeve. He had kept his promise, so Yi Yun was very respectful towards the Blood King.

The Blood King stood up as his hawk-like eyes sized up Yi Yun several times before saying…

"A young person's abilities must be respected!"

The Blood King's loud voice resounded through the mountain peak.

After learning of what Yi Yun had done, the Blood King wanted to test him. If he was that arrogant without ability, the Blood King planned on teaching him a good lesson.

With the killing tune, the Blood King did not use all his strength since he was afraid of injuring Yi Yun, but it was definitely not something an ordinary young junior could withstand. He had done so with the plan to take him down a peg, but he never imagined Yi Yun to withstand it in such a composed manner.

This impressed the Blood King. The young man was both horrifying in state of mind and strength.

He found it hard to imagine that his daughter would know of a brother in a mortal world who could come this far.

He was definitely not some run of the mill warrior. He had cultivated for less than a thousand years and his future achievements could only go higher. He had the right to be arrogant.

Chapter 1639: Fey Blood Plains
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

"Father, this is my younger brother, Yun'er. He has cultivated for less than a thousand years," Jiang Xiaorou hurriedly informed the Blood King. Having seen the Blood King testing Yi Yun, she was worried that Yi Yun had been injured. She quickly tried to protect him.

The Blood King looked at Jiang Xiaorou in exasperation as he said with a little jealousy, "Rou'er, does he need your protection? Why don't you take a look at those mercenaries of yours at Soft Clouds Mountain Manor? All of them have been repressed by him. Even Marquis Bi Lin has returned to hide in the Bi family to be away from his hostile edge. Even against me, he easily resolved my attempt to take him down a peg. Do you think he has suffered at all?"

Upon hearing the Blood King's words, Jiang Xiaorou laughed happily. Yi Yun had done so naturally because of his powerful abilities. She was obviously happy about him being strong.

"Senior Blood King." Yi Yun cupped his fists. "I would like to borrow some resources to purchase some precious herbs to refine the Myriad Form Shura Pill! This pill will also be of great help to Sis Xiaorou. However, these herbs are overly rare. They can only be purchased under the Treasure Fey Pagoda's name, but even that influence is limited. Only a Golden Feather Immortal Pistil has been found to date.

"Senior Blood King, allow me to be so presumptuous as to seek your permission of releasing a Fey Thearch decree, listing out the treasured herbs that require purchasing across the entire Fey race."

After Yi Yun said that, he bowed again. Just the Treasure Fey Pagoda's name alone was insufficient. Many big family clans did not heed it. Although the Treasure Fey Pagoda was the biggest conglomerate, there was always the second and third biggest conglomerate behind it. All the Treasure Fey Pagoda did was take up twenty percent of the market transactions volume.

Furthermore, Heaven Fey City still had the biggest martial colosseum, the biggest intelligence organization, the biggest bank, the biggest beast colosseum, biggest security company, and biggest Crystal Refinement Master Association, etc!

Every faction that led a particular domain was independently not weaker than the Treasure Fey Pagoda. Furthermore, the Crystal Refinement Master Association had greater influence than the Treasure Fey Pagoda.

The Treasure Fey Pagoda itself was not enough to make everyone heed their requests. However, the result would be different if it was done in the Blood King's name.

Even in all of the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins, the Blood King was one of the strongest Fey Thearchs.

"You are even pulling me into your plans." The Blood King looked at Yi Yun, his eyes flashing with a glint. This punk sure is arrogant. Typically, even young juniors who had very good relationships with Jiang Xiaorou would be shuddering in fear while standing before him. Yet, Yi Yun was daring enough to make such a direct request.

Furthermore, the things Yi Yun wanted were practically priceless. After the Blood King announced a Fey Thearch decree, the family clans would produce the items to gain his favor. As such, the Blood King would be indebted to them.

"You previously mentioned to Rain Numinous that you will earn the Chaos Crystals needed by yourself?" The Blood King looked at Yi Yun.

Yi Yun said, "I'll probably only be able to earn a thousand or two Chaos Crystals. I do not dare guarantee earning more than that."

"A thousand or two Chaos Crystals?" The Blood King laughed. "I believe I don't have to be Blood King any further. I should just give you my title. Earning a thousand or two Chaos Crystals in such a short span of time… Do you know that the entire Treasure Fey Pagoda's annual profits only amounts to a thousand Chaos Crystals? And I only take a forty percent cut."

The Treasure Fey Pagoda did not fully belong to the Blood King. It was simply placed under his control. He also had other estates aside from the Treasure Fey Pagoda.

Furthermore, the expenses incurred by the Blood King's subordinates, together with what he required for cultivation, resulted in great expenditures. He was only getting a stable income at the moment.

Yi Yun said, "The materials needed for the Myriad Form Shura Pill are just too precious. My imploring of you to announce a Fey Thearch decree is already an unreasonable demand. I have to prove my strength after all. In addition, I might clash with the Luo King's son, Jiang Yuchan. I hope you would be able to hold down the situation for me."

"The Luo King!?" A cold glint flashed in the Blood King's eyes. "Don't worry and go ahead with it. As long as it's within the rules of the Heaven Fey City, I guarantee you that no one will try anything against you."

"Alright!" Yi Yun nodded. "With your promise, I'll be able to carry out my plans with an easy heart."

There was not much idle talk when warriors met. After Yi Yun achieved his goals, he led Jiang Xiaorou away immediately.

The first place he came to after his departure was the Fey Blood Plains!

The Fey Blood Plains was a faction under the Luo King's control. The Luo King had three main estates under his name—Nine Tribulations Veranda, Fey Blood Plains, and City North Manor. Among the three estates, the Fey Blood Plains was the most important one.

The annual income of the Fey Blood Plains was Treasure Fey Pagoda's equal or more.

The Fey Blood Plains was also the biggest beast colosseum in Heaven Fey City!

The Fey were bellicose and good at battle. Every viewing of an intense battle made ardor and zeal course through their blood.

Therefore, the biggest beast colosseum had countless visitors every day. Just the entrance tickets were a huge form of income.

"It's here, the Fey Blood Plains!"

The Fey Blood Plains was a kilometer wide. The spectator stands were built a thousand feet tall. It easily accommodated millions of audiences.

Yi Yun's arrival at the Fey Blood Plains was greeted with resounding beast roars. It left his lifeblood churning.

"This Fey Blood Plains is like the ancient Roman Colosseum of my previous life, but the battling opponent is a powerful Fey beast."

With this in mind, Yi Yun paid the entrance fee with Jiang Xiaorou and entered the Fey Blood Plains.

Every battle in the Fey Blood Plains would allow for betting on the battle's outcome. This was the Fey Blood Plains's biggest source of annual income.

"Yun'er, are you planning on betting that you would win, so as to bankrupt Jiang Yuchan?" Jiang Xiaorou asked.

Yi Yun shook his head. "The Fey Blood Plains isn't dumb. That method won't work."

The Fey Blood Plains limited a person's bet. It could not exceed ten Chaos Crystals. Furthermore, the Fey Blood Plains would calculate neutral pay offs according to the betting situation. No matter which side won, the Fey Blood Plains would earn without losing anything.

It was completely impractical to try and win boatloads of money.

Yi Yun found the seats of honor right in front before sitting down with a wide, open stance.

At that moment, a Fey Lord was battling a red Hou.

The red Hou was a thousand feet tall. Its body was covered in fur that seemed to be in flames. Its fangs were a hundred feet long, easily capable of tearing through dozens of people.

As for the Fey Lord, he was not the typical run-of-the-mill warrior. His Fey core had been tempered once, with the second tempering more than half done. But even so, he was not the red Hou's match at all. He was sent retreating.

Warriors would typically lose to the Fey beast in the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins' beast colosseum. Of course, the Fey beast's payoff was even lower. Sometimes, even if one won, the return was about ten or twenty percent.

With the Fey Lord being forced into a retreat, the red Hou suddenly released a blob of bloody mist. It arrived in front of the warrior like a flash of lightning. It sent him flying as its sharp fangs penetrated the Fey Lord's body.

"Puah!"

The Fey Lord spat out a large mouthful of blood as he flew out. He was heavily injured!

Entering the Fey Blood Plains' arena was very risky, but of course, the income was good.

"The Fey beast wins!"

The referee announced the outcome as the Fey Lord was taken away.

A large number of people were cheering in the audience, while a number of people tore apart their betting tickets in anger.

"Why didn't it bite him to death? That trash!"

"He's only fit to be the Fey beast's feed."

Some people cursed him in the audience stands for they had just lost money.

"Yun'er, what are your plans?"

"Simple, mess things up directly!" Yi Yun said as he leaped into the arena!

His act of revenge against Jiang Yuchan was extremely direct and brutal!

"Oh? What are you doing? Are you a contestant?"

The referee was somewhat stunned to have someone suddenly jump out. The Fey Blood Plains contestants needed to register, fill in their particulars, indicating their name, race, and realm before entering the arena.

However, Yi Yun had stepped into the arena directly!

In fact, this was quite commonplace. After all, Fey warriors were a bellicose bunch of people. Stirred as spectators, they would charge straight up into the arena to fight.

And such people were mostly rasher ones. They typically lost terribly when the fight began.

"I'm a contestant now," said Yi Yun simply. "I won't take the gladiator fee. Let's fight immediately."

"You don't want the gladiator fee?" The referee was taken aback. With the odds in the Fey beast's favor, the Fey Blood Plains would offer quite a sizable gladiator fee to have more contestants participate. It started off with fifteen hundred refined ores for Fey Lords and above.

And yet, this person did not even want the gladiator fee. That was something good for them. Clearly, the fellow was rash.

Yi Yun revealed his cultivation level. It was also a rule of the Fey Blood Plains.

"He's a Royal Sealed Divine Lord!"

"Oh? He's actually human!"

"A human that has only condensed a single Divine Lord Royal Seal dares join our Fey beast colosseum? He has a death wish."

"I bet a thousand kilograms of refined ores that he will lose!"

The Fey ostracized humans quite significantly.

Immediately, many people threw out the refined ores in their interspatial rings, betting that Yi Yun would lose.

There were even some Fey warriors who bet that he would die.

The Fey Blood Plains allowed for one to bet on death. Those who were too weak could end up being killed by the Fey beast before even throwing the towel. It was all very common.

The payoffs constantly changed as people placed their bets on the Fey beast. The payoff for Yi Yun also began rising.

Yi Yun held his hands to his back as he watched this scene with a faint smile.

He noticed that Jiang Xiaorou had already sent a voice transmission. She had probably arranged for a few people to bet on Yi Yun's victory. Yi Yun thought nothing of it as the income would only lead to a few Chaos Crystals.

In fact, when Jiang Xiaorou's ean entered the betting fray, Yi Yun's payoff rapidly fell due to the injection of massive amounts of Chaos Crystals on his victory.

Jiang Xiaorou had bet a total of fifty Chaos Crystals! A Chaos Crystal was about five thousand kilograms of refined ores. To most Divine Lords, the usual currency was only limited to refined ores. Chaos Crystals were very rare.

Back when Yi Yun robbed Shaomang Xuan, he had only found about ten plus Chaos Crystals from his ring.

"Yun'er, you shouldn't show off your edge at the beginning. Make it seem like you are barely winning. That way, the payoffs won't drop that fast. If our luck is good, we can earn another bet or two." At that moment, Jiang Xiaorou's voice transmission sounded in Yi Yun's years.

"There's no need." Yi Yun shook his head. "Someone has already noticed me."

Yi Yun sensed that the Fey Blood Plains' staff had secretly sent out voice transmission talismans after carefully observing him.

Injecting large amounts of Chaos Crystals to bet on his victory would naturally win the attention of the Fey Blood Plains.

The speed at which they reacted was faster than Yi Yun had imagined. From the looks of it, betting on the outcome could only be done once. It did not allow for him to earn much.

"Jiang Yuchan's intelligence gathering is pretty good. From the moment I entered Soft Clouds Mountain Manor, reports of me were likely in his hands."

I do not believe that his sister did not call his real name to her father. the name is the same, the cultivation is the same and close in strength. however, he cannot understand who it is. apparently the higher the cultivation, the smaller your brain

Chapter 1640: Outright Snatching
Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

At that moment, in Yuchan Manor north of the city a few hundred kilometers away, a group of young men and women were sitting around a long table. Placed on the table were Ambrosia Jade Dew, Spirit Tea, and Immortal Fruits.

Sitting at the seat of honor was a man in a colorful attire. It was weaved by countless feathers.

He was none other than Jiang Yuchan, descendant of the Luo King.

At the banquet Jiang Yuchan hosted, the attendants were all princes and princesses who lacked sufficient strength, resulting in them having to depend on Jiang Yuchan. There were also capable people from all walks of life, top geniuses, and quasi-Godly Monarch senior experts.

These people shared common interests with Yuchan Manor, so they had the intention of aiding Jiang Yuchan in attaining the spot of crown prince.

At that moment, a flame lit up in front of Jiang Yuchan.

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaorou pricked up his brows as a strange glint flashed in his eyes. "Jiang Xiaorou actually appeared in the Fey Blood Plains."

Jiang Yuchan's words immediately made many people cast their gazes over.

"What is she doing in the Fey Blood Plains? Did she bring along that brother of hers?" a middle-aged man asked. He was dressed in white robes which were embroidered with stars. It looked like the pattern contained some mystical law and he was a guest elder of the Luo King, Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai was also of royal blood, but his lineage was very far from the direct line. It was extremely hard for him to make a name for himself with his birthright, but he had both talent and opportunities, allowing him to cultivate into a quasi-Fey Thearch.

Jiang Yuchan chuckled and said, "Teacher, how wise of you. It is indeed the case!"

As Jiang Yuchan had received Jiang Yuebai's guidance in his younger days, he addressed him as teacher.

"Jiang Xiaorou's brother seems to be named Lin Yun. He probably went to the Fey Blood Plains as a show of force. It's likely because of the Golden Feather Immortal Pistil."

Jiang Yuchan sipped the wine in his cup as he stood up. A derisive smile curved across the corners of his lips.

A guest beneath him echoed, "I heard that this Lin Yun made the Treasure Fey Pagoda gather a bunch of treasured herbs on his behalf. They are staggeringly valuable herbs. How can Her Highness Soft Clouds be able to buy so much for him? He's probably feeling anxious and hopes to win some Chaos Crystal at Your Highness Yuchan's Fey Blood Plains."

"He wishes to win at my Fey Blood Plains?" Jiang Yuchan shook his head with a laugh. Gambling was a losing enterprise. As the house, how could he lose when the Fey Blood Plains could dynamically control the payoff rates?

"If he wishes to win some funds by betting on himself, then the scale he is working at is way too disappointing. If I just let him earn large amounts of Chaos Crystals at the Fey Blood Plains, I can forget about my title!"

"Let's go. I am curious to see what act my beloved sister is putting up."

Jiang Yuchan got up and walked towards Heaven Fey City.

Everyone present were experts. Even without flying, just a casual stroll would allow them to traverse space quickly. Hundreds of kilometers was nothing.

…

Meanwhile, in the Fey Blood Plains arena, Yi Yun stood with his arms behind his back. In front of him was a flaming red Hou.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Shouts reverberated from the surrounding stands. They were filled with gusto.

Many a time, the weaker Fey with thinner bloodlines showed more contempt and racism towards humans. From their point of view, the beast colosseum was a battlefield for Fey. It was a contest of bodies and the powers of lifeblood. Human warriors were not qualified to do battle here.

"Rip him up! Tear!" A Fey warrior shouted at the top of his lungs.

"It would be such a pity if this punk with smooth skin and tender meat were to die. He might as well be eaten by me."

The Fey warriors said all sorts of things like this, but all Yi Yun paid attention to was the betting situation. The payoff rates no longer moved, indicating that whoever wanted to bet had bet.

Earning a few dozen Chaos Crystals was better than not earning anything.

"Jiang Yuchan must have received the news and is likely rushing here." Jiang Xiaorou sent Yi Yun a voice transmission.

Yi Yun thought nothing of it. He looked at the Red Hou in front of him and grinned. "I'll use you as my opening gambit."

The red Hou let out a prolonged roar. In order to allow the spectators to place their bets, it had been restrained for a full fifteen minutes. It was now fully enraged!

At that moment, the restraints on the red Hou's Yuan Qi were released!

"Roar——!"

The red Hou leaped up into the sky, blotting out the sun like a tiny mountain. Its churning lifeblood forces surged down at Yi Yun like a spate of molten steel. The ground even melted as a result of the lifeblood's pressure!

Lifeblood transmuted into fire?

The Fey were not completely incapable of comprehending laws. Just as how humans would not completely abandon body-tempering, this red Hou was an ancient Fey with fire affinity. Its lifeblood had transmuted into a flaming cage that enveloped Yi Yun.

At that instant, Yi Yun flipped his hand as the gigantic black Ascending Dragon Cauldron floated above his hand. He held it with one hand as he took a step forward. The space beneath his feet turned chaotic as Yi Yun's figure seemed to distort.

"Boom!"

The lifeblood flames smashed down, burning through Yi Yun who seemed to be just standing there. However, he subsequently vanished.

An after image!

Simultaneously, Yi Yun had appeared behind the red Hou like a ghost!

He held the Ascending Dragon Cauldron and smashed it downwards like a heavy star.

At that instant, all of Yi Yun's lifeblood boiled over as the Dragon Emperor's phantom surfaced behind him. The churning and violent powers surged downwards maniacally.

"Ka-cha!"

A loud crack resounded throughout the Fey Blood Plains. It sounded like thunder, but it was the sound of… cracking bones!

Everyone watched with their own eyes as the gigantic red Hou's back curved into a strange depression. Blood splattered as the Ascending Dragon Cauldron in Yi Yun's hand had been dyed a deep red by the Fey blood!

The red Hou's spine had been broken by Yi Yun's smash!

Everyone widened their eyes. The lifeblood powers that erupted from Yi Yun left their hearts palpitating. All the hundreds of thousands of spectators around whose cultivation level was below that of Fey Lord felt that their lifeblood were being stirred, as though it would tear out of their bodies. Even their heart beats were resonating with Yi Yun's lifeblood.

This human had actually cultivated his body? Furthermore, it had reached such a state!?

As they reeled in shock, they saw Yi Yun shake his hand, pulling out a golden chain from his interspatial ring. The chain was covered in complicated array patterns.

This was a Fey chaining lock?

Before anyone could react to Yi Yun's taking out of the chain, they saw him wrap the Fey chaining lock around the red Hou's neck. The array patterns were activated!

The red Hou struggled frantically, but it could not rid itself of the shackles!

If this were any other time, just a Fey chaining lock would naturally not be enough to hold down the red Hou. But at that moment, its spine had been broken by Yi Yun. Not only so, Yi Yun had released his potent Dragon Emperor bloodline which suppressed it into a shuddering state.

It knew deep down that the terrifying human had strength far above itself. He could even easily determine its life and death.

"Retrieve!"

Just as the red Hou was showing apprehension in battle, Yi Yun took out a Fey beast bag and threw the red Hou in!

The Fey beast bag was a treasure used by the Heaven Fey Ancient Ruins to capture Fey beasts. Yi Yun had prepared several bags before coming to the Fey Blood Plains. Each bag was of excellent quality.

After the Fey beast bag sealed the Hou, Yi Yun immediately conjured array patterns to seal it, preventing any escape from the Fey beast bag. In a few seconds, the Fey beast bag shrank to the size of a palm.

Immediately following that, Yi Yun's fingers tapped gently, tearing apart the void. A spatial passageway appeared as Yi Yun threw the Fey beast bag in, sending it off!

It was gone!

Upon seeing this situation play out, the hundreds of thousands of spectators were dumbfounded.

What was going on!?

The human punk had made a gigantic red Hou vanish in a blink of an eye!

No! To be precise, it had been captured!

Furthermore, he had sent the captured Fey beast away…

In the Fey Blood Plains' arena, the battle between the warriors and Fey beasts could lead to death. All of them had to sign a liability waiver prior to the battle. No one had was responsible regardless of any deaths.

However, they never expected the human to do something as unexpected as he did. Yi Yun did not kill the Fey beast, but instead captured it on his first trip to the Fey Blood Plains.

He was actually using the Fey Blood Plains as a venue to capture Fey beasts.

Once one entered the Fey Blood Plains' arena, life and death depended on their own abilities. As long as one could win, any method could be used. No one had made the rule that a live capture was disallowed. Wasn't a live capture also considered a win?

"Why… Why did he capture the red Hou?" Many Fey warriors felt as though they had eaten a fly. A live capture was much harder than killing!

They originally believed that the human was courting death, but they never expected his strength to reach such a remarkable realm.

However, why did he go through all that effort? It was clear that he could easily win.

"Is he flaunting his strength?" Many people were rendered speechless. The human punk was too arrogant. But… he did have the right to be arrogant.

Jiang Xiaorou laughed inwardly when she heard the discussions of the people around her. Flaunting his strength was just a figment of their imagination.

His live capture of the Fey beast was obviously to sell it off.

A live Fey beast was worth several times a dead one.

Yi Yun was outright snatching from the Fey Blood Plains. However, he had signed a waiver, so the snatching could not be considered theft. After all, it was the Fey Blood Plains' fault for enforcing the rule of a liability waiver before fighting in the arena. Instead of straight-up killing, it was better captured alive.
