Chapter 849: Killing A Great Presence

Fu Baochu and Feng Wuji looked up and saw Zhong Yue casually sitting on the old tree smiling at them. Feng Wuji’s heart sank and Fu Baochu spurted out a mouthful of blood, he smiled, “So you are Mister Yi? You are really amazing to be able to push us into this perilous situation. Little human girl, looks like you are weaker than him.”

Consort Tian Si humphed and didn’t reply.

Although Fu Baochu was gravely wounded, he remained his composure and said placidly, “You are not bad, young but you dare to set up an Imperial Emperor, even forcing me into killing that Kuafu Deity Emperor. You are stunning, truly stunning.”

Feng Wuji’s heart sterned up as he thought of Kua Fumao’s death.

It seemed like a coincidence at first glance but when he looked back at it now, Kua Fumao’s death happened so quickly and suddenly. Clearly, it was the product of Zhong Yue’s art of Karma.

Zhong Yue had intentionally exposed his movements to Consort Tian Si, leading them to the Zheng Race’s sacred land just nearby to the Haoying Clan. Then, he chose the time when Zheng Clan’s young master headed out for a hunt, turning into a white crane and making himself a target for the young master.

It was then that Consort Tian Si and the others arrived. Him as a white crane flew past above them and made Kua Fumao mistakenly kill the Zheng Clan’s young master.

As a result, the Zheng Race’s quick-tempered grand ancestor rushed out to avenge his son. Fu Baochu tried to pick themselves out trouble by killing Kua Fumao, thinking that his death would appease the Zheng Race. But his miscalculation of the Zheng Race grand ancestor’s temper led to the outbreak of the battle.

Fu Baochu was, after all, an old Imperial Emperor of the ancient era. He was able to easily kill the Zheng Race’s grand ancestor. However, his actions had triggered the retaliation of the Zheng Race’s leader, the Haoying Clan.

The awakening of the Haoying Clan’s monarch weapon and its suppression forced Fu Baochu into bringing Feng Wuji and Consort Tian Si to make for the run. It felt as if they had escaped the monarch weapon’s range of attack, but the truth was that the monarch weapon had been narrowing Fu Baochu’s room before finally successfully forcing them into the Hill of Monarchs’ Burial.

All of this was part of Zhong Yue’s calculations; thus, he had been waiting for here, watched as they took step after step, moving closer to death.

If his art of Karma is really this strong, the Haoying Clan experts will be arriving soon! Beads of cold sweat gushed out of Feng Wuji’s forehead.

Whereas Fu Baochu smiled, “You are audacious, as a Deity, you dare to set up an Imperial Emperor. I appreciate your talent and so I am offering you a chance to be my servant. If you kneel before me now, I will gladly take you under me.”

Zhong Yue looked at him, and suddenly said, “In the Heavenly River, the State of Fuxi has three factions in it. One being the traitors, the other being the reincarnated gods, and the last being the remaining few true Fuxi. I wonder, which are you?”

Rays flashed across Fu Baochu’s eyes and he sneered coldly, “Junior, you dare talk to me like this? Do you know what the consequence will be?”

“You blabber too much, trying to drag time so you can secretly heal your wounds?” Zhong Yue said tranquilly, “Your wounds are grave, you truly are a great cultivator to be able to still be standing after clashing directly with the monarch weapons. However, the Dao in your body has been shattered into pieces, it is impossible to heal it any time soon.”

Fu Baochu laughed, “It’s still more than enough to kill you!”

Feng Wuji whispered, “Senior, he is dragging time too, he is waiting for the Haoying experts to arrive.”

Fu Baochu’s heart stiffened up.

Zhong Yue shook, “Wuji, you’ve mistaken my motives. I am not dragging any time here.”

Feng Wuji laughed, “You aren’t calling me Mister anymore? Back in the Ancestral Star, you were so polite.”

He was referring to the old days back in the Ancestral Star Swords Gate, when Zhong Yue addressed Elder Pu as Mister.

“Mister?” Zhong Yue smiled and answered softly, “This isn’t a title anyone can simply give himself. The 24 monarch races, the Xian Tian Palace, they address me as a Mister because I am qualified to hold this title. As a Mister, one’s knowledge and wisdom are higher than most and sees the grand universe as only a game of chess. If I don’t have the blood of a few strong presences on my hands, how do you think I would’ve earned Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s favor?”

He said insouciantly, “I can sit and watch as the Haoying kill the three of you, or I can also make you bugs perish in the mausoleum.”

Fu Baochu snorted with laughter, “Little child, big words you have there. A mere Deity and you want to kill us…”

His body moved and immediately, the seals of the mausoleum were triggered and unleashed immeasurably strong skills down at him. Fu Baochu quickly stopped and locked his brows deep as he examined his surroundings.

“Don’t believe me? Then let me show you,” as he said, incarnations walked out of Zhong Yue’s body. These incarnations all had sour and bitter expressions as they walking toward the mausoleum of the Haoying monarchs unwillingly.

They sighed, “Look at us, this is how bad the incarnations treated. It’s always us at the short end of the stick.”

“I want my rights as an incarnation!”

“Remember to reincarnate me!” One of the incarnations turned back and said.

Then, the incarnations were seen ramming straight into the mausoleum, triggering all of the monarch-level seals!

It was too terrifying to explain. The monarch auras surged high into the sky, the slaughtering arrays and sealing formations placed by the Haoying Clan’s Imperial Monarchs have been activated.

As the array formations were triggered, the countless divine weapons used to form them burst out. These divine weapons were at the least Deity Emperor-level divine weapons and there were even the Imperial Emperor-level divine weapons; and they were connected to the deepest part of the mausoleum, perhaps even linked to the monarchs’ coffins.

In order to dispel the array formations, the easiest way was to enter the mausoleum and find the monarchs’ coffins, breaking the cores of the seals and array formations on the coffins. However, the risk for them to take was a chance of survival of one in a million.

Incarnations were walking out of Zhong Yue’s body without rest, they rushed into the mausoleum and triggered every single array formation. In an instant, the whole mausoleum suddenly became a hellish death trap!

In Zhong Yue’s eyes, it felt like the world was dying and destruction has fallen upon the land. The godly rays were flashing all over the places, the earth perished and sky shattered, the various elements were tumbling in chaos, ravaging the surroundings. The raging energies had turned the mausoleum into a huge slaughtering array!

In the midst of the chaos, Fu Baochu and the rest were nowhere to be seen, they were covered by the raging energies and only the faint voices of Fu Baochu groaning could be heard.

Zhong Yue sat on the branches with an expressionless face. Sometime later, the chaos has softened and the raging energies waned, and Fu Baochu’s groans of pain and agony couldn’t be heard anymore.

As the mausoleum regained its quietness, Consort Tian Si could be seen gasping for breath and holding on a flagpole, unrooting it from the soils.

Whereas Fu Baochu and Feng Wuji were seen in a shabby state, standing just a close distance beside her. Among the two, Fu Baochu was the strongest and thus, most of the attacks were focused on him. As a result, blood couldn’t stop streaming down his mouth and his mortal body had holes and deep cuts all over it.

“Consort Tian Si is really awesome, you found the core of one of the many slaughtering arrays.” Zhong Yue was surprised and he commented casually, “Not bad, not bad. Feng Wuji, you didn’t realize it yet, did you? The traitor among you.”

“Traitor?”

Feng Wuji’s heart was stiffened, he quickly turned to Consort Tian Si and so did Fu Baochu. While they were glaring at her, Consort Tian Si chortled, “Mister Yi, such a lowly trick trying to provoke our alliance. If you dare, why don’t you compete with me in the arts of Karma? Why provoke them into doing it for you if you want to kill me?”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Consort Tian Si, you purposely stepped into my trap. Weren’t you trying to use my set up to kill this Fuxi traitor? You may be able to hide it from him, but you can’t hide it from me. My art of Karma is stronger than yours now, but not by much. When you saw the white crane, you already sensed, didn’t you? Yet, you didn’t warn this old traitor, you want him dead, don’t you?”

Zhong Yue stopped sending out any incarnations and the mausoleum regained its peace.

Hearing them, Fu Baochu raised his hand and clenched on Consort Tian Si’s neck, his squinted his eyes and questioned, “Is this little swine speaking the truth?”

Consort Tian Si coughed in lack of breath, she shrieked aloud, “You trust in him but not me? He trapped me in here too and you think I would help him? If I am doing this intentionally, I will die too…”

Feng Wuji quickly said from the side, “Senior, we still need her to calculate a way to bring us out alive!”

Fu Baochu let go of Consort Tian Si and smiled, “Don’t mind me, little girl, I am just over worrying. Let’s find a way out of this place and kill that little swine.”

Consort Tian Si was gasping for breath, and when she regained her temperament, she said, “The mausoleum’s core is at its deepest, where the monarchs’ coffins lie. With our power, it’s impossible to disarm the whole place at once. Our only choice is to disarm the slaughtering arrays one by one. It’ll take a great deal of time for me to calculate the methods for each slaughtering array. Follow me, take no wrong steps.”

Zhong Yue prompted casually, “Time is no friend to you, people. The slaughtering arrays in the mausoleum are going to change. By then, all of them will be rearranged, nothing will be the same as before anymore.

Fu Baochu’s face changed dramatically, he looked around and noticed the marvelousness of the array formations.

The slaughtering arrays around them were disarmed, they were now temporarily safe but during the shiftings of the array formations, everything would be different. The sun becomes the moon, the mountains turn into rivers, the flatland into mountains, and the sky into the earth. There wasn’t much time left for them anymore!

Consort Tian Si took a long time to run the calculations, she quickly stood up and said solemnly, “The mausoleum is changing soon, come with me!”

She strode toward the next slaughtering array while Feng Wuji and Fu Baochu followed close behind her. They moved quickly but was too late, the mausoleum has started shifting and the sky and earth were toppled.

A mountain was formed above them and was crashing down but Fu Baochu blocked and held it up. Then, the whole mausoleum started changing, the array formations were rearranging themselves, everything was the on the verge of changing!

Fu Baochu shouted, “Little girl, disarm this slaughtering array faster!”

Consort Tian Si inspected their surroundings and strode forward, she held a flagpole and smiled, “The slaughtering array is disarmed.”

As the flagpole was unrooted, the slaughtering array beside her was disarmed, but the mountain Fu Baochu carried on his shoulders wasn’t dispelled. Instead, the mountain has shattered into countless divine mirrors that shone on him. The array formation was activated and the lights binding Fu Baochu sent him into the deeper parts of the mausoleum.

Fu Baochu’s face changed drastically, he questioned, “Little girl, what are you doing!?”

Consort Tian Si snorted frigidly, she kept the flagpole into her Yuan Shen secret realms and smiled, “Mister Yi wants you dead, not us. Why do we have to risk our lives for you? If you are dead, Mister Yi might just let us live. Mister Wuji, am I right?”

She turned and looked at Feng Wuji whose forehead was filled with cold sweat.

Feng Wuji could feel his limbs turning cold but remained placid ostensibly as he said, “Consort is right.”

He was in shock as he thought, Zhong Yue is right, this human lady is a traitor! She intentionally leads us into this!

Consort Tian Si looked at Zhong Yue from far, she chuckled, “Fu Baochu is dead for sure, can Mister Yi let us go?”

Zhong Yue answered placidly, “If you can survive from the Haoying experts’ pursuit, why should I be so ruthless and insist on ending your lives?”

He suddenly disappeared from the tree branches and was nowhere to be seen.

As he left, several waves of powerful auras rushing to the scene, the Haoying experts have arrived!

Consort Tian Si heaved a breath of relief as she saw him leaving. She looked at Feng Wuji and smiled, “Mister Wuji, Senior Fu died in Mister Yi’s hands, not mine, is that right?”

Feng Wuji nodded, “Consort, be reassured, I know what to say in front of the master.”

Consort Tian Si stared at his face, she didn’t find him too trustworthy and slowly, killing intents have climbed into her eyes. Feng Wuji sensed it and immediately said, “My teacher is an innate god, he heeds order from the Heaven itself and if I die here, consort, you will never be able to explain yourself to his presence! Fu Baochu’s death is no small matter, without my help adding the details, his presence won’t let you go easily!”

Consort Tian Si chortled, “Well, it’s not like I want Senior Fu to die, how could I? It’s Mister Yi!”

Deep in the mausoleum, Fu Baochu’s mourn of pain could be heard shouting, “Wuji, do you still want to lift your Fuxi bloodline? Save me, I will bring you back to the unworldly land and unseal them! Also, with my request for you, the Panhu Clan will surely awaken the Panhu bloodline in you too! Trust me!”

It was as if Feng Wuji couldn’t hear him talking, he nodded with a smile and answered, “Consort sure is correct. It’s Mister Yi that killed Senior Fu Baochu, although shocked and saddened by his passing, I am no match for Mister Yi to save Senior Fu.”
