Chapter 617: Trial within Trial

In the Residence of the Grand Preceptor, while the Lady Mother of Chariot was taking in dragon liver and other rare foods, her hand was holding onto a triangular flag. The flag had six tails that were fluttering.

She kept on waving the triangular flag. The dragon livers and other foods that contained spiritual Qi all went into her mouth, which subsequently was turned into the purest Qi of vitality at an unimaginable speed, aiding her to wave the triangular flag.

The hair on the temples of the Lady Mother of the Chariot had turned grey, even with the replenishment of Qi of Vitality, she was still paying a hefty price. She continued to wave the white flag firmly. The odd changes to the Register of Life and Death were caused by this.

Nobody expected the Lady Mother of the Chariot could discover a method of utilizing the Register of Life and Death by hard work. While the killing formation was real and the besiegement of Shen Lian was real, her motive was actually to force Shen Lian into an impasse in order to bring out even more terrifying enemies.

Since then, the Lady Mother of the Chariot could achieve retribution. She too could get rid of a resistance. It would then be possible to rebuild the Order of Jie.

When Wen Zhong observed the suffering his teacher had to go through, he wished he could be in her place. Unfortunately, his cultivation state was not sufficient to even wave the small six-tailed triangular flag.

The girl in red suddenly had an idiotic question in her mind, “Is she not afraid of getting fat by eating like that?”

She dared not to ask this question.

At the same time, due to some form of fear of nature, she dared not to get close to the white flag.

The whole of Zhaoge City was split into two. Looking down, one could see that Zhaoge City was shaped like a giant millstone. The power of the Register of Life and Death kept swirling into the millstone and unfortunately, Shen Lian was at the center of the millstone. If he could not withstand it, he would be milled into a powder.

Lady Mother of the Chariot continued to wave the divine flag mercilessly. Until this point, there was only one course of action left. Shen Lian could only blame himself for getting involved. Even if it was the arrangement of the honored master, she still had to go against it, as she could not seek to avenge the Order of Jie. Shen Lian’s existence too threatened the plan that she was breeding for many years.

When she first entered the Order of Jie, Tongtian Leader had awarded her the name of Jingling Shenmu, which meant gold which would not rust and would always be sharp. It was just like Lady Mother of the Chariot’s temper. Once she decided on something, she had the gut to go all out, unlike other celestials who were lacking in this domain.

The Lady Mother of the Chariot glanced at the girl in red. This time as Shen Lian was trapped in a real impasse, whether you should join in, as there would not be another great opportunity as such for her to pay for the favor of him saving her life. The karma of saving someone’s life was not less than for one to attain Dao, there was no reason for her to not come.

The girl in red felt a chill down her spine by the gaze of the Lady Mother of the Chariot. All of a sudden she felt a heat all over her body and her red clothes were turned into a red flame. In between her brows, there was a fire mark. She was still the same as before, but her attitude had changed entirely.

When she spoke, she had a manly voice, “My sister Jingling! Why do you bother? If you tell me earlier, we can resolve our previous conflicts and work together, and the Netherworld will be our playground! Now both of us can’t rest until either one of us is dead.”

The Lady Mother of the Chariot laughed, “This student is the trial you carefully cultivated. It is no wonder that despite her normal demeanor, she is unexpectedly powerful. I know you’re hiding something and hence you did not teach her Celestial Slaying Incantation, but it seems like you just want to use to overcome the trial during the key moments, for your Primordial Spirit to descend on her. As such, whether she practices the Celestial Slaying Incantation doesn’t matter.”

The ‘girl in red’ smiled, “After this is done and dusted, I will teach her everything.”

The Lady Mother of the Chariot replied, “Do you think after this, you can still be the Daoist Lu Ya?”

The ‘girl in red’ remained indifferent. She lifted her palm and said, “Lunar Deity, come out now. All these times you constantly want to steal the origin of the Mystical Fire of the Sun to attain Dao. Today I will give you the chance.”

“My fellow Daoist brother, as long you give me the origin of the Mystical Fire of the Sun, I will leave immediately. You know it, it will take me at least a hundred years to absorb the origin of the Mystical Fire. I will not have time for anything else.” In the void there rang through a soft female voice, like the gentle moonlight. Even though one never saw her, one would not doubt she was an extremely beautiful woman.

The ‘girl in red’ laughed in a disdained manner, “People say I am a mystery in terms of where I am, but compared to you who never dares to even show your face, I think I am considered a hero, like my fellow Daoist brother Lingbao.”

The Lady Mother of the Chariot spoke coldly, “If my honored master is here, you won’t have a chance to speak in such an arrogant manner.”

The ‘girl in red’ looked to be indifferent. She looked towards the north and said, “What, so Emperor Xia, after fake marrying Lunar Deity, you too become someone who dares not to show his face?”

From the north, a darkness appeared from the void. Someone came in carrying a knife. He wore a black royal costume, and his black long hair was fluttering like it was sneaking into the void. From his Herculean body, no one doubted that a demonic flood would happen anytime.

Emperor Xia’s cold eyes glanced towards the girl in red who was being possessed by Lu Ya. He said coldly, “Once I get rid of all of you rebels, I can announce real peace in the Netherworld.”

When he said that, he was full of confidence. In reality, nobody could measure the depth of his demon technique. A lot of people had cultivated under the Primeval Demon Technique, but all of them had a terrible ending. However, Emperor Xia could be the exception.

The girl in red laughed drily, “Tianyi, what say do you have if Emperor Xia wants to get rid of you?”

Yinshang’s king, Tianyi too appeared somewhere near Emperor Xia. He sighed and said, “I did not wish for this to happen today, as until now, I have no idea whether we can deal a heavy blow to the senior. If we fail this time, with the senior and my fellow Daoist friend, Shen’s ability, they will not give us a second chance for this favorable condition to occur.”

Tianyi turned a dead ear towards what Emperor Xia said about getting rid of the rebels. He was an expert in using the united front in beating the opponent. Despite the conflicts between Yinshang and the Xia Kingdom, the target for today remained unchanged, that they had to get rid of the two most unstable factors.

If Shen Lian did not fall into an impasse, it would be impossible for Daoist Lu Ya to appear, as all these whiles, he was waiting for the opportunity to settle the score.

If that was the case, they would have to accomplish the whole task at one stroke, else the consequence would be unimaginable.

Until what happened, Tianyi all the while had a conflicted attitude. He did not wish for Shen Lian to be involved in this murder. As Shen Lian and Daoist Lu Ya were the main characters, for any of them to escape would not be considered a success.

Without Daoist Lu Ya’s help, despite Shen Lian had attained the Taiyi state, he was still beaten flat by the Register of Life and Death. Even if Shen Lian found the biggest opportunity through the Queen Mother Wu Vessel by taking in Beginning Qi of Earth, it would not change the ending.

It was unfortunate that despite the many years of calculation, Zujia did not manage to suppress Shen Lian. He probably could not feel at ease until he died.
