Chapter 911: Eve of the War

Everyone knew that Shi Ren’s father had achieved the Saint cultivation. If he regained his sanity after the toxin had been extracted, he would be the backbone of the Shi Family.

When it happened, Wang Beilie would be resigning from his position as the Clan Leader.

Wang Beilie’s eyes were icy cold. If it was not for Ling Feiyu who was standing by his side, he would have snapped Zhang Ruochen’s neck in seconds.

Suddenly, a human-like figure rushed in from afar. He landed upon the ground with a deafening sound, leaving a dent on the spot he was standing.

He was in ignited black armour embedded with seventy two rune scrolls made of jade, which fuelled the flame around his body in green.

The armour was the Blue Fire Rune Armour, which only the Blue Fire Ghost Army, who guarded the Underground Spirit Prison, had possession of.

The soldier was Feng Ying, one of the four wardens of the Blue Fire Ghost Army. His cultivation or status was nowhere below Wang Beilie’s.

The flame surrounding Feng Ying’s body grew stronger, heating up the area around. He asked coldly, “Clan Leader, you should explain yourself.”

Wang Beilie frowned and answered, “What happened?”

The four wardens had always stood their ground at the Underground Spirit Prison. In fact, they were in hibernation mode most of the time, and rarely came up to the ground.

When one of the wardens did come to the ground, it meant something serious had happened.

Feng Ying replied, “Not long ago, two men made their way into the Underground Spirit Prison with your Clan Leader token. They released all the felons from the first to third levels, causing major damage.”

“Fortunately, I have woken up from my hibernation and captured most of them back to the dungeon. Or else…”

Wang Beilie looked up and thought for a moment, and then bellowed, “Must be my treacherous son who stole my token… No, he wouldn’t dare to do anything like this. There has to be someone telling him to do this.”

In a split second, a figure appeared in Wang Beilie’s mind.

It was his seventeenth brother, Wang Jinsuo.

Wang Jinsuo was the one who delivered the Blood Pill of Death, that was made of the Blood Poison of Pluto and Evil Death Qi, to him.

At that time Wang Beilie did not know about the Blood Poison of Pluto, but only the aftermath of the Blood Pill of Death on Shi Qiankun, whose insanity would strengthen his position as the Clan Leader.

Now that Wang Beilie knew about the pill Wang Jinsuo gave him was made of the Blood Poison of Pluto, he knew Wang Jinsuo was the spy from the Immortal Vampires.

“How dare he make use of me!” Wang Beilie yelled to himself in anger.

…

Meanwhile, Wang Jinsuo and Xiang Zhengfeng had escaped from the mansion of the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians. They fled into the woods and rested at the riverbank of a black icy river.

“Thank god we made it through, I thought I would die In the Underground Spirit Prison.”

Xiang Zhengfeng let out a long sigh, then thanked Wang Jinsuo with his fists cupped. “Thank you uncle for the help.”

“It’s no big deal. I was following the Blood Emperor’s order to keep you safe. Unfortunately, the identity I have been using in the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians for hundreds of years can’t be used anymore.”

Wang Jinsuo’s eyes turned blood red. His ten fingernails elongated into silver claws.

Wang Jinsuo stared at his own claws and smirked. “I did find out a lot of secrets in the Pluto Sword Tomb. This is worth it even though my cover has been blown.”

Xiang Zhengfeng gritted his teeth. His handsome face turned ferocious and his voice was icy and raspy. “It was all because of that Zhang Ruochen. I would not have been exposed if it wasn’t for him. I wonder if the monster has killed him?”

“Zhang Ruochen is a nobody, it is Ling Feiyu who is the threat. But of course, it doesn’t matter anymore. In ten days’ time, the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians and Immortal Vampires will be at war. By that time, they will both be dead.” Wang Jinsuo laughed mercilessly.

Later, Wang Jie, who was in Xiang Zhengfeng’s grip, mumbled something indicating he was awake.

So Xiang Zhengfeng threw Wang Jie on the ground.

Wang Jinsuo casted a side glance at Wang Jie. “He is no longer valuable now, get rid of him. But his cultivation is at Level Five Half Saint. His blood should taste delicious. Hehehe.”

“Uncle, Brother Xiang, so you guys are the spies from the Immortal Vampires. How is this happening? Is Zhang Ruochen innocent?”

Wang Jie trembled in fear when he saw the true form of the two Immortal Vampires. He could not speak properly with his lips chattering.

Xiang Zhengfeng lowered his body and slapped Wang Jie in the face. He smiled wickedly. “You are just as dumb as your father. Arrogant idiots. It is a blessing to all Immortal Vampires that you and your father are in charge of the Ancient Race of Prison Guardians.”

“Pfft!”

Xiang Zhengfeng’s fangs were growing in his mouth. His throat was filled with the scent of blood.

“Don’t kill me, I can still help with whatever the Immortal Vampires are up to! I know all the secrets of the Pluto Sword Tomb. Trust me…Trust me, I can help!”

Wang Jie knelt in front of him, licking Xiang Zhengfeng’s shoe and begging for his life.

Wang Jie’s fear made him say yes to anything in order to live.

“Is that so?”

Xiang Zhengfeng shut his mouth and turned back to his handsome face again. He patted Wang Jie’s head and said, “You are the son of the Clan Leader after all. You do have some worth. Since you behave well, stay by my side and be my slave.”

Xiang Zhengfeng looked at Wang Jinsuo, “Uncle, it isn’t that bad to keep a Level Five Half Saint human slave!”

“Anything to please the prince. Let’s go! We should head back.”

Moments later, Wang Jinsuo and Xiang Zhengfeng spread their silver wings and flew into the night with Wang Jie.

…

The Underground Spirit Prison was in operation after the commotion caused from the Pluto Sword Tomb. By the second day, everything went back to normal.

The Shi Family House was spacious. There was a pond in the yard. Its water established a sense of reflection, and increased the spiritual vitality in the house.

Along the bank of the pond, Shi Qiankun lay on an ice bed, awake.

Previously, Zhang Ruochen had used the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree to cleanse the evil Qi in his body. This had helped him to regain his consciousness.

However, Zhang Ruochen had no clue how to get rid of the Blood Poison of Pluto in his body.

Even though Shi Qiankun was conscious, he had to suppress the poison in his body using his Holy Qi, which made him no different than an ordinary mortal.

“I have tried my best. You will need to figure a way to dilute the Blood Poison of Pluto in Senior Shi,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Shi Ren smiled gratefully at him. “Thanks.”

Then, Shi Ren helped his father up. They were conversing about something.

Zhang Ruochen had walked away from them, stretching lazily. It was pleasant to be of help.

After a while, Shi Ren walked towards Zhang Ruochen and bowed. “Thank you again Brother Zhang.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his hand and said, “No big deal, how’s your father doing? Better?”

Shi Ren answered, “My father had great cultivation, to resist the Blood Poison of Pluto. Yet the poison is too stubborn. I’m afraid that only a Saint could refine it. After we defeat the Immortal Vampires, I’m planning to take my father to the Mythical Fairy Realm on the Martial God Mountain. Martial Lord Wu and my grandfather were friends. He might cure my father.”

Zhang Ruochen asked, “How long until the war?”

“The preparations are complete. I’m thinking within the next two days. Other than the troops from the ministry, the four sects, Earth God Temple and Martial Market Bank will provide military aid as well.”

Shi Ren explained to Zhang Ruochen while walking.

“According to the Ministry, the Immortal Vampires’ hideout spans across the twelve ridges located in eight cities of the Central Yuan County. The Shi Family is in charge of eliminating the Immortal Vampires in Golden Sparrow City.”

“Golden Sparrow City is an ancient city with a population of forty thousand, yet they have all been killed by the Immortal Vampires. The monks in the city were either turned into blood slaves or dried corpses.”

“As of now, there are seven thousand elites of the Immortal Vampires based in Golden Sparrow City. It will be difficult to take all of them down, and this will take a toll on our clan,” Shi Ren sighed.

Zhang Ruochen thought carefully and said, “Since everyone will be away for the war, what if the Immortal Vampires have a plan to ambush the Pluto Sword Tomb? Won’t that be very dangerous?”

Shi Ren smiled, “This, you do not need to worry about. Pluto Sword Tomb has its mystical powers to withhold Lord Pluto, so it wouldn’t be easy for the Immortal Vampires.”

“Besides, the Clan Leader and Sword Saint Feiyu will stay in here to ensure the safety.”

Although Zhang Ruochen didn’t trust the Clan Leader, he trusted Ling Feiyu.

With her guarding the Pluto Sword Tomb, anyone barging in would be dead for sure, unless it was the Blood Emperor.

Zhang Ruochen pressed his lips and said, “Since Sword Saint Feiyu is here to guard the sword tomb, I would like to join your forces against the Immortal Vampires in Golden Sparrow County.”
