Chapter 423 - The Wise and Sorrowful King

However, although he wanted to retreat, the swords formed by the cloud person were even faster than lightning, so they quickly approached him.

Zhuque Zi's eyes were gloomy as his hand created a seal before him. The moment this seal appeared, a powerful aura surrounded Zhuque Zi.

At this moment, the flying swords arrived.

Boom!

A sound that shook the entire continent burst forth.

Zhuque Zi flew back like a meteor and didn't stop for a while.

The seal before him had collapsed. Although he wasn't injured, his face was deathly pale and the air of superiority he was emitting had disappeared.

The nine flying swords disappeared and turned back into soul fragments.

Du Tian looked at the scene before him and bitterly said, "The Mysterious Suzaku Seal!"

The Mysterious Suzaku Seal is a spell that only each generation's Suzaku can learn. It can't be cultivated and is inherited from the previous Suzaku.

This seal wasn't created by the first generation Suzaku; it is a spell that was given to them by the Cultivation Union.

This Mysterious Suzaku Seal won't increase one's cultivation level, but it is very powerful. There are only two uses for it: attacking and defending.

Its attack can destroy everything and its defense is even stronger than the entire Suzaku formation even when it's protecting just one person.

No one knows how the Cultivation Union managed to create this spell. On a rank 6 cultivation planet, only one person can know the spell at a time. Unless that person dies, no one else can use it. Even if the previous Suzaku is somehow still alive, when the current Suzaku learns the Mysterious Suzaku Seal, the previous Suzaku loses the power of the seal.

Rumor has it that using the Mysterious Suzaku Seal has some cost, but only the people who have learned the spell know of the cost. The seal Zhuque Zi had just used was that seal.

The cloud person shattered. Du Tian's face was deathly pale as he stared at Zhuque Zi, then he suddenly started laughing. "My lifespan is almost all gone. To be able to see an old thief like you in this state is pretty satisfying!"

Zhuque Zi's expression was ugly and he was panting. He wouldn't have used the Mysterious Suzaku Seal unless he had to, especially if it was to use the seal to attack. He used it because he needed to keep himself in top condition for the battle against the Forsaken Immortal Clan.

"Du Tian, your Soul Refining Sect was once a branch of Suzaku and your ancestors fought alongside the first generation Suzaku against the Forsaken Immortal Clan. Why must you be so stubborn today? If you hand over the soul flag, I will help you rebuild the sect, help you gather disciples, and even help you make the Soul Refining Sect its own country again."

Du Tian's eyes lit up and then he let out a mischievous smile. "Old thief Zhuque, I see through you now. You are afraid of getting hurt; otherwise, you wouldn't have ended up in such an embarrassing position. The war with the Forsaken Immortal Clan has already started; I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for long."

Zhuque Zi frowned and coldly said, "Although the eleven-leaf ancestor of the Forsaken Immortal Clan is strong, I have an ace up my sleeve. Once that is revealed, the Forsaken Immortal Clan will die for sure! Du Tian, I'll ask you one last time: will you hand over the soul flag?"

Du Tian's eyes became cold. He took a cold breath and waved his hand. A golden-purple light began to flash on the flag, but it was unstable.

"Old thief Zhuque, I advise you to leave now and not force me to bring out the fourth soul!" Du Tian's voice was filled with determination.

Zhuque Zi's expression was ugly, but he sneered inside. He had been waiting for the fourth soul to appear. In fact, what he really wanted all along was the fourth soul.

Every generation of Suzaku has studied the fourth soul in hopes of finding a way to defeat the one-billion-soul soul flag. Zhuque Zi was 80% confident in beating it; that was why he came today.

After pondering a bit, Zhuque Zi slowly said, "I have read about the power of the fourth soul in records, but I haven't seen it in person. Borrowing this chance, I really want to see just what is so special about this fourth soul!"

Du Tian clenched his teeth and pointed at his forehead with his left hand. He took out a ball of golden light and quickly pressed it onto the soul flag. The golden-purple dot on the soul flag quickly flew out.

"The world is divided into five elements that neutralize each other and create different types of spirit roots. Having one element means you can cultivate, have two means you are smart, having three means you have talent, having four means you have heavenly talent, and having five means you are complete.

"The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Having two is rare, have three is even more rare, having four is almost unheard of, and no one has even heard of anyone having all five.

"The fourth soul was a rare person who had had three elements, but this talent didn't manifest when he was alive. He lived like most and died when he was at the Soul Transformation stage, but the Soul Refining Sect refined his soul with a special technique that turned it into something that could threaten even late stage Ascendant cultivators!

"To capture this soul, one requires a lot of determination and they must open the Cultivation Planet Crystal when one's lifespan is almost up." This part of the record flashed through Zhuque's head.

Zhuque Zi said, in a serious tone, "Three Metal Soul!"

Du Tian let out hoarse laugh. His eyes were dim because the last of his lifespan has just been used to activate the fourth soul.

The fourth soul couldn't be brought out via normal means; one must give up their life force to call it out of the soul flag.

The moment the fourth soul appeared, it released a blinding, golden-purple glow. Inside the glow was only one thing: a thin needle.

This needle wasn't large; only as long as a thumb. It gave off a very powerful aura, far more powerful than the aura the Suzaku Sword gave off.

Three Metal Soul was a heavenly treasure that could penetrate all substances and its soul force could even harm origin souls.

Du Tian's eyes lit up and he said, "Fourth soul, kill!"

The golden-purple needle flashed and disappeared.

Zhuque Zi's expression changed as he quickly backed up. At the same time, he waved his hand, causing the Suzaku Sword to block before him. With a ding, a needle-sized hole appeared on the Suzaku Sword.

At the same time, Zhuque Zi let out a roar as he pointed to the air with his index finger. Celestial spiritual energy surged through his body and he pressed down with his index finger.

With a bang, Zhuque Zi backed up three steps. The golden-purple light had disappeared without a trace once more, but Zhuque Zi knew that the fourth soul was still around.

His expression was cold as he said, "The fourth soul is indeed strong! But Du Tian, if you were at the early stage of Ascendant and had used celestial spiritual energy beyond what a Soul Transformation cultivator can, you would be able to make it even faster and more powerful. I would have to run today if that were the case. However, if you want to kill me, the fourth soul isn't fast enough!"

Zhuque Zi's words had a purpose. The fourth soul he wanted to capture wasn't what it was now. He wanted the fourth soul in a much more powerful state. The only way for it to achieve a more powerful state was for it to devour a large amount of soul fragments and primary souls.

It has to be said that in terms of scheming, Du Tian couldn't match Zhuque Zi!

Du Tian stared at Zhuque Zi as he pointed to the air and the soul fragments collapsed.

The way they collapsed was very strange. Every time there was a purple flash of light, a soul fragment would collapse. This happened very quickly and soon a portion of the soul fragments had collapsed.

The purple light became faster and faster until one could only see a purple line.

Countless soul fragments were absorbed by the fourth soul. Du Tian wasn't in a position to worry about the soul fragments.

Zhuque Zi's eyes lit up. He was about to move up when he suddenly stepped back. A needle-sized hole suddenly appeared in his hand and fresh blood dripped out from the wound.

At this moment, more souls collapsed. Because ten primary souls were devoured by the fourth soul, its speed had reached an unimaginable speed.

Du Tian's heart ached because ? of the one-billion-soul soul flag was devoured by the fourth soul in an instant along with ten primary souls. The one-billion-soul soul flag hadn't suffered this kind of loss in a long time. Du Tian took a deep breath and shouted, "Fourth soul, stop!"

The golden-purple light paused as it hummed and then charged toward Zhuque Zhi.

Zhuque Zi sighed. He wanted to wait until the fourth soul had devoured all of the souls before using the method the previous Suzakus had thought of to capture it. Unfortunately, Du Tian had stopped it from devouring. Zhuque Zi couldn't say anymore or his purpose would be exposed.

Zhuque Zi continued to back up while he kept pointing at the air before him. A series of shattering sounds could be heard, causing Zhuque Zi to back up even faster. Many wounds the size of a needle appeared on him and blood flowed out of them.

Every time a hole appeared, his expression become more ugly and his aura weakened.

However, his blood began to cover the the fourth soul.

Zhueque Zi's eyes became cold as he slapped his bag of holding and took out a small, red gourd. His hand formed a seal and he said, "Refine!"

With one word, a thread of white flame came out from the small gourd. The surrounding 1,000 feet immediately became a sea of fire. This fire was even stronger than the Holy Suzaku Flame!

"Let's see if your Three Metal Soul is stronger than the Celestial Flame Gourd! I'm going to refine this fourth soul!"

Inside the sea of flames, the golden-purple needle appeared and turned red. Although it didn't melt, Zhuque Zi's blood slowly fused with the fourth soul during this refining.

At this moment, the fourth soul quickly began to spin, causing a gust of wind that blew an opening in the sea of fire.

"Soul, escape!" Du Tian shouted. The golden-purple needle disappeared and flew toward Zhuque Zi.

Zhuque Zi's eyes lit up. A look of joy appeared in his face and he laughed. "Du Tian, since you don't want to hand over the soul flag, I won't insist on taking it, but I'll be taking this fourth soul!"

Zhuque Zi slapped his bag of holding and took out a small chunk of black mud. He spat some blood on the black mud and then a strand of black gas came out from it.

Zhuque Zi's hand guided the strand of black gas a few times to form a strange symbol.

"This old man uses his status as the current Suzaku and gives 90% of my remaining lifespan to open the Cultivation Cultivation Planet Crystal. I want to use the 'stop' domain that the Cultivation Union gifted to us!" His right hand pointed at the symbol and then it quickly flew out and disappeared three feet before Zhuque Zi.

At this moment, everything within 1000 feet paused.

The moment the symbol disappeared, there was a flash of golden-purple light and then the golden-purple needle appeared.

Zhuque Zi reached out and caught the fourth soul. At this moment, time began to move again.

Zhuque Zi stepped forward. His face revealed a fierce expression and he reached toward Du Tian.

Du Tian let out a sigh. He turned around to look at the cave that had been destroyed by the flame and closed his eyes.

But just as Zhuque Zi reached out, a dark laugh came from where the cave that Wang Lin was in was.

"Scram for this old man!"

Zhuque Zi's expression changed. He felt pain from his origin soul and felt fear that he had never felt after he became the Suzaku.

Chapter 424 - Situ Nan

Waves of Forsaken Immortal Clan members were gathering inside the endless black cloud on the eastern side of the continent of Suzaku.

In the center of the black cloud sat countless Forsaken Immortal Clan members. They were all chanting in unison. The power of their tattoos had moved out from their bodies and floated in the air.

The tattoo power quickly rose up to the air.

Every two hours these clan members would use up all of the tattoo power in their bodies and then another group would switch places with them to continue the chant.

This process had lasted for several months. On this day, a middle-aged man wearing a grey robe appeared. He had no tattoos on his body other than a purple leaf on his left cheek that was emitting a purple glow.

He stood there as he stared at the large amount of clan members in the center and revealed a thoughtful look.

Behind him followed three old men. The aura the three of them gave off was exactly the same as the eight-leaf old man who chased Wang Lin before.

One of the old men respectfully said, "Fifth ancestor, it is time. The fourth ancestor has already activated it on the ancestral tree side."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The ancestral tree was freed because the ancient ancestor gave up his life and used his body to break the five-sword seal. We can't fail this time!"

"The four sub-trees of the ancestral tree have surrounded the continent of Suzaku. This time the country of Suzaku will be destroyed!" The old man's eyes revealed a hint of excitement, but that quickly disappeared as he said, "Fifth ancestor, about second ancestor…"

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Don't bother with him. He has been in the country of Suzaku for too long and thinks differently than us. Hmph, if it wasn't for his unwillingness to fight, we could have wiped out the country of Suzaku in that battle a few years ago!

"I just don't believe that the Cultivation Planet Crystal that the country of Suzaku holds has the power he spoke of!"

The old man nodded and no longer spoke.

"The people of the Corpse Sect are here." The middle-aged man looked into the distance.

A large coffin was quickly closing in from outside the eastern edge of the continent of Suzaku. On top of the coffin sat three people. The three of them all had white hair. Aside from the one in the middle, who was at the early stage of Soul Transformation, the other two were at the late stage of Soul Formation.

The three of them were sitting on the coffin which moved very fast. In the blink of an eye, they arrived before the black cloud. The tattoo symbols in the black cloud flashed to prevent them from entering.

The early stage Soul Transformation old man from the Corpse Sect said, "I'm the elder of the Corpse Sect on planet Suzaku and the two behind me are corpse deacons. I ask the Forsaken Immortal Sect to open the tattoo formation."

The tattoos inside the black cloud flashed again and a tunnel appeared. The large coffin from the Corpse Sect quickly flew inside.

The coffin stopped at the center of the black cloud. The early stage Soul Transformation elder from the Corpse Sect jumped down.

Before him was the middle-aged man and the three eight-leaf shamans.

The middle-aged man calmly said, "Elder Sima, I have been waiting for you."

The Corpse Sect elder laughed and said, "I'm late because I encountered some trouble on the way. Aside from delivering the corpses, I'm also here to tell your Forsaken Immortal Clan a piece of news."

The middle-aged man looked at the Corpse Sect elder with calm eyes as he waited for the news.

The Corpse Sect elder's eyes lit up and with a smile that was not a smile he said, "Zhuque Zi went to the Soul Refining Sect and is having a battle with Du Tian to steal the one-billion-soul soul flag!"

The middle-aged man's expression remained the same, then he smiled. "What was the result?"

The Corpse Sect elder laughed. "That I don't know, but with my Corpse Sect's understanding of the current Suzaku, if he went, then he must be at least 80% confident. Your Forsaken Immortal Clan will have to be careful!"

The middle-aged man's expression hadn't changed yet. He was just about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He looked toward Pilu at the northern end of the continent of Suzaku. From there he felt an aura that made him tremble.

Zhuque Zi had long forgotten what pain from his origin soul felt like. Right now he felt the fear he had only felt back when he met the last generation Suzaku.

Zhuque Zi was, after all, someone from a high position, so he quickly calmed himself and asked, "Your excellency, who are you?"

A ray a of rainbow-colored light flashed by as Wang Lin appeared. He floated in the air with his hair flowing without any wind, but he gave off an extremely strange aura.

His body was emitting a blue aura, a cold aura that could freeze anything in the world.

The current Wang Lin was completely naked, translucent, and glistening. His eyes were no longer clear but filled with an evil aura.

Qian Feng's eyes were also filled with evil, but compared to Wang Lin's, it was like a campfire next to the sun.

This evil aura inside Wang Lin's eyes only represented one word: arrogance!

Arrogance, much arrogance, an extreme arrogance that saw everything in the world as below him and no one in the world could match him.

He casually looked at Zhuque Zi. This gaze was several times brighter than lightning.

Zhuque Zi's body trembled. At this moment, he really felt like he did back in the past. He felt the same fear from when he faced the previous Suzaku. He quickly backed up, and for the first time in a long time cold sweat came out from his forehead.

"You… you are Wang Lin! No, you aren't Wang Lin. Your excellency, who are you?" Zhuque Zi took a deep breath and hid the terror in his eyes.

"This old man asked you which generation Suzaku you are." These words filled with arrogance came out of Wang Lin's mouth. His tone contained a "you have to answer" feel.

Du Tian stared at the scene. When he looked at Wang Lin, he felt a strong sense of unfamiliarity. His time with Wang Lin wasn't short, so he was immediately able to tell that this person wasn't him.

There wasn't any way for Wang Lin to have this kind of pressure and this kind of "I'm above everyone else" arrogance. This type of pressure and arrogance could only be found on old monsters that have cultivated for countless years.

Zhuque Zi didn't want to reply, but he involuntarily said, "Fourteenth generation Suzaku…"

Wang Lin pondered a bit before coldly looking at Zhuque Zi and saying, "On the behalf of Ye Wuyou, this old man won't kill you. Now scram."

"Ye Wuyou?" Du Tian was startled. He had never heard this name before.

However, after Zhuque Zi heard this name, his expression changed like it never had before. He immediately backed up even more and the terror inside him could no longer remain hidden, so it showed on his face.

"You…" Zhuque Zi took in a breath of cold air and his body shook as if he had been hit by lightning. His gaze toward Wang Lin was no longer just filled with shock, it also contained a deep sense of horror.

Ye Wuyou was a name that only every generation of Suzaku would know. No one else knew, not even the ancestors from the sects in Suzaku. They only knew that there was someone with the daoist name of Suzaku.

Ye Wuyou was the real name of the first generation Suzaku!

As Zhuque Zi looked at the blue aura around Wang Lin's body, he recalled the history of the past Suzakus until he locked onto one identity.

At this moment, the terror in his eyes became even more intense. He respectfully clasped his hands toward Wang Lin without any hesitation and said, "Greetings, ancestor. Junior will leave now!"

With that, he quickly retreated.

Du Tian's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Leave behind the fourth soul!"

Zhuque Zi stopped. His eyes showed that he was struggling to make a decision and then he suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's eyes revealed a trace of the past as he said, "Back then this old man owed Ye Wuyou. Forget it; since you are using it to fight the Forsaken Immortal Clan, this old man will lend it to you for three years. Three years from now you will return it to me."

Du Tian panicked and was about to speak when Wang Lin looked at him. When Du Tian looked back, he could no longer see Wang Lin. There was only an unfamiliar aura that said something like "I'll kill you if you speak," and he knew that this person would kill him without any hesitation.

Du Tian's heart trembled and he no longer dared to speak.

Zhuque Zi let out a breath of relief. If that person wanted the fourth soul back no matter what, he might've had to fight him. However, from what he had heard about about this person, Zhuque Zi lacked even the smallest amount of confidence in fighting him.

Zhuque Zi clasped his hands and was about to leave.

But Wang Lin's eyes showed a flash of arrogance and he said, "Since you have guessed this old man's identity, then you must know my rules. Are you just going to leave like this?"

Zhuque Zi pondered a bit and raised his right hand. He waved his left hand and cut two fingers off his right hand. "This matter is junior's fault. Are two fingers enough?"

Wang Lin shook his head and arrogantly said, "Leave another one behind!"

Zhuque Zi clenched his teeth. He waved his left hand to cut off another finger. His face was pale as he looked at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin then said, "Scram!"

Zhuque Zi quickly left without turning his head. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

100,000 kilometers away, Zhuque Zi clenched his teeth and let out a roar at the sky.

"Second generation Suzaku! How can he be still alive?! How can he still be on planet Suzaku?! How can it be!?!?! The third generation Suzaku schemed against him by luring foreign cultivators over. How is he not dead!?!?!"

He roared the entire way back until he was above the country of Suzaku. He suddenly stopped as he looked back toward Pilu. The anger was now gone, but it was replaced with suspicion.

"Something is wrong. Going by what I know about the second generation Suzaku, there is no way he would go easy on me. Could it be that he has just awakened and was faking it?"

Chapter 425 - Boy

Zhuque Zi pondered a bit. His expression became very unsettled before he let out a sigh. He really didn't have the guts to go test his theory. He stomped his foot on the ground and a large crack appeared in the sky as he stared viciously at the direction of Pilu.

"Second generation Suzaku…" Zhuque Zi flew toward Mount Suzaku.

Inside the Soul Refining Sect in Pilu.

Wang Lin's figure wavered and then fell from the sky after he made sure that Zhuque Zi had left.

Du Tian was shocked and quickly went up to Wang Lin. The current Wang Lin's face was pale and his eyes were closed; he was clearly in pain.

Du Tian took a few closer looks, then his expression changed greatly and he shouted, "Possession!"

He instantly clenched his teeth and raised his hand. He was about to press his hand down on Wang Lin's forehead to help him fight the possession; however, just as he was about to press down, Wang Lin opened his eyes. His eyes were now clear and contained none of the arrogance from before.

Wang Lin weakly said, "Senior, stop."

Du Tian stared at Wang Lin and said, in a serious tone, "What exactly happened?"

"You were way too rash, you little brat. Couldn't you see the severity of the situation?! If this old man had his old temper, I would kill you with a slap! Don't think that because your lifespan is about to be up this old man can't make you taste what it's like for your life to be slowly drained away."

A very arrogant voice came from Wang Lin's brow. Shortly after, a green light flew out from Wang Lin's forehead and stood on the side. This green light took the form of a large middle-aged man with a rough face and a large build. The moment he appeared, he released a powerful aura.

The sky's color suddenly changed. Due to the impact of this person's aura, clouds began to form. Lightning could be seen and rain began to fall.

The middle-aged man raised his head toward the sky and shouted, "Scatter for this old man! Did I let you rain?"

With just one roar, the clouds in the sky scattered without a trace; even the rain that was falling was blow away. Not even a single drop had landed.

Du Tian's body trembled violently as he stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before him. He was unable to say a word.

Wang Lin bitterly smiled and let out a cough. When the Holy Suzaku Flame arrived, Wang Lin's origin soul had already returned to his body and he had reached the Soul Transformation stage. However, there was no way for him to help in the fight between Du Tian and Zhuque Zi, so when the Holy Suzaku Flame appeared, he hid inside the heaven defying bead.

When he went in there, Situ Nan awakened!

The just awakened Situ Nan had a fierce image, but in reality he was very weak. They didn't even have time to talk before Situ Nan noticed what was going on outside, entered Wang Lin's body, and scared Zhuque Zi away.

It has to be said that Situ Nan's acting skill was very powerful.

When Situ Nan made Zhuque Zi cut off his fingers, Wang Lin was extremely nervous, but Situ Nan wasn't nervous at all and was as arrogant as he always was.

Afterwards, Wang Lin asked why he had asked Zhuque Zi to leave behind the fingers. Could he not have been afraid of Zhuque Zi retaliating?

Situ Nan's response was, "Because I'm Situ Nan!"

"Earlier you almost ruined my plan by asking for that fourth soul, you little brat. If I had let that little thieving sparrow see through me, this old man would've had to go back to sleep right after waking up! As for that fourth soul, once I find a body and recover my cultivation, I'll just kill my way up Mount Suzaku and steal it back for you!" Situ Nan glared at Du Tian.

Du Tian hadn't been called a little brat for thousands of years. He could only warily smile and ask, "Senior is?"

Situ Nan raised his head and arrogantly said, "Wang Lin, tell this little brat who I am!"

Wang Lin wryly smiled. He looked at Du Tian and said, "He is Situ Nan."

"Situ Nan?" Du Tian thought for a very long time and couldn't think of any expert named Situ Nan.

Then Wang Lin said, "The second generation Suzaku!"

Du Tian's body trembled and he staggered backwards. His eyes were filled with extreme shock. He finally understood why Zhuque Zi was scared away.

The fame of the second generation Suzaku was too large; in some ways it even exceeded the first generation Suzaku's fame.

Shortly after, Du Tian took a deep breath. He respectfully bowed toward Situ Nan and said, "Junior Du Tian from the Soul Refining Sect greets senior."

Situ Nan nodded and said, "Considering the fact that you protected Wang Lin and are giving him the one-billion-soul soul flag, this old man promises you that if there is an opportunity, I'll help you revive the Soul Refining Sect!" Situ Nan reminisced about the past. If it wasn't for his good friend from the Soul Refining Sect, he wouldn't even have had the time to escape into the heaven defying bead during the battle with the foreign cultivators.

Du Tian revealed a smile on his face. He had given up his entire life for the Soul Refining Sect, and it was the thing he worried about the most in his life. This was why he was willing to use the end of his life to befriend Wang Lin; it was all in order to find a way to keep his Soul Refining Sect alive.

Zhuque Zi's arrival made Du Tian despair; however, things changed so fast that he felt like he had experienced an entire lifetime already. Now that the second generation Suzaku had personally promised to keep the Soul Refining Sect alive, Du Tian was satisfied.

He sat down in the lotus position with a smile on his face and slowly closed his eyes.

"Senior apprentice brother, your prediction worked… I, Du Tian, can meet you, teacher, and all of the previous ancestors with a smile. I, Du Tian, am not a sinner of the Soul Refining Sect. I found a new hope for the Soul Refining Sect. I can see that in the future, my Soul Refining Sect will become an existence beyond a rank 6 cultivation country. I, Du Tian, have left my mark on the history of the Soul Refining Sect…

"Teacher, I managed to accomplish what I promised you. I, Du Tian, am willing to wipe away my consciousness to enter the soul flag for eternity!"

On a rainy night on a public road, the bandits killed everyone, and among the rubble was a youth crying…

With a long sigh, an old man walked out from the rain. After gently rubbing the youth's head, he revealed a gentle smile and said only one sentence.

"Are you willing to come with me?"

The youth grew up inside the Soul Refining Sect. The talented youth immediately stood out among the other disciples. He did all of this just because of that one sentence.

In order to follow the old man's footsteps, he cultivated hard every day. Day by day, year by year, he continued this boring cultivation until he comprehended the heavens and reached the Soul Formation stage. He became the old man's disciple, was given the daoist name Du Tian, and followed the old man everywhere.

Time was like a song; there will be a day when the song ends and people leave. Before his teacher's soul entered the one-billion-soul soul flag, he made a promise to protect the Soul Refining Sect for the rest of his life only for that one sentence in his youth.

"Are you willing to come with me?"

"Teacher, disciple… Is coming…" Du Tian let out a smile as he closed his eyes. The last bit of his lifeforce disappeared…

A ray of golden-purple light flew out from his brow. The one-billion-soul soul flag suddenly appeared, and with a wave, the golden-purple light disappeared inside it.

Although the one-billion-soul soul flag had lost ? of its soul fragments, ten primary souls, and the fourth soul, it was still the one-billion-soul soul flag!

This 30-foot flag represented the roots of the Soul Refining Sect. It seemed to have a mind of its own as it floated toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin raised his right hand and grabbed the soul flag, then he looked at the smiling Du Tian with a complex expression and melancholy. He kneeled down and kowtowed toward Du Tian.

"Although senior wasn't my teacher, you treated me as your disciple… I will never forget about this…" The melancholy in Wang Lin's eyes became even stronger. In truth, his time spent with Du Tian wasn't very long, but Du Tian's kindness to him was engraved in his heart.

"Zhuque Zi, one day I'll definitely find you and make you pay for wiping out the Soul Refining Sect!" Wang Lin looked at the direction of the country of Suzaku and his eyes became cold.

With a gust of wind, Du Tian's corpse began to slowly disintegrate as if everything about this person was disappearing. Only in Wang Lin's memory did Du Tian's figure still remain…

"For you to meet this person was your luck. He is worthy of being remembered…" Situ Nan let out a sigh. His voice was no longer filled with arrogance as he thought about his good friends in the past…

Wang Lin pondered a bit and looked toward Situ Nan. "What's your plan?"

Situ Nan's eyes lit up and the arrogance reappeared. He said, "Find a body with talent suitable for me, recover my cultivation, and look for those people who caused me to end up in this situation. If they have long died, then I'll take out my anger on their descendants!"

Situ Nan's personality had always been like this. Back then he kept teaching Wang Lin this almost demonic path of cultivation. The reason Wang Lin had killed so much had a lot to do with Situ Nan's influence.

Wang Lin nodded and said, "The heaven defying bead has already fused with my soul and is unable to be removed…"

Without letting Wang Lin finish, Situ said, "Nonsense! It's all that damn bead's fault that I ended up in such a state. Even if you give it to me, I won't want it!"

Wang Lin looked at Situ Nan and whispered, "Situ."

"What is it?" Situ Nan rolled his eyes.

"Thank you…"

Situ Nan pondered. In truth, he had already guessed that the heaven defying bead was a very rare treasure, most likely beyond a celestial treasure.

But although he was a tyrannical and arrogant person, he highly valued the kindness others had shown him. The first Suzaku showed him kindness and that was why he gave up on leaving the planet to stay behind and protect the country of Suzaku.

The relationship between him and Wang Lin was very difficult, but that just made the relationship between them even closer. He had basically watched Wang Lin grow up as a cultivator, so to him, Wang Lin was like his own disciple!

Which was why he couldn't ask for the heaven defying bead!

Situ Nan snorted as he turned his head and said, "If you want to thank me, then go find me a body. Wait a bit and let me check if there is a body suitable for me on this planet right now. Although this old man can't fight enemies, I still have my spells, so finding a body should be easy." With that, Situ Nan's eyes lit up and his divine sense spread out.

Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he said, "Zhuque Zi has a disciple named Qian Feng. His body should be pretty good."

"Zhuque Zi's disciple… Forget it; I owe the first generation Suzaku. If you want to kill him, I don't care, but for me to do it, it's a bit too much… Eh? How could this kind of body exist on planet Suzaku? Although this body is still only a boy, it is top-quality possession material! Not bad! I don't give a sheet if he's just a kid, this boy is made for possession!" Situ Nan looked toward the extreme north with eyes filled with joy.

Chapter 426 - Cultivation Planet Crystal

"Oh?" Wang Lin looked toward Situ Nan.

Situ Nan's eyes were filled with joy. With a smile he said, "Good, this old man has picked his body! Wang Lin, follow me to the north pole. That is where the body I want is located."

With that, he began flying.

Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding. The mosquito let out a roar and appeared before Wang Lin. He jumped onto the mosquito's back, sat down, and followed Situ Nan.

Situ Nan turned around to look at the mosquito. His eyes lit up as he said, "What kind of beast is that? Where did you find it? This old man is going to go catch one to play around with."

The mosquito has always been tyrannical, but after feeling the aura form Situ Nan, it let out a few hums and backed away from him.

Situ Nan stared at the mosquito beast for a while. In a flash, he appeared beside Wang Lin on the back of the mosquito and said, "What are you running for? I'm not going to eat you."

The mosquito's body trembled as it looked pleadingly at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin let out a faint smile as he rubbed the mosquito's large head. He took out piece of jade and after imprinting some information on it, he handed it to Situ Nan. "If you go there, you can catch as many mosquito beasts as you want."

Situ Nan took the jade. After he scanned it, his expression immediately changed. He awkwardly said, "Never mind. I don't want one anymore…"

The jade Wang Lin gave him contained information on the planet where the ancient god found a large amount of mosquito beasts.

Even with Situ Nan's pride, his heart trembled when he saw the information in the jade. He then looked at the mosquito beast with a strange expression.

Situ Nan let out a mischievous smile and said, "Wang Lin, how about we make a deal? Once I have a body, lend me the mosquito to study for a while. I'll only study it and not harm its life."

"Not possible!" Wang Lin refused without any hesitation.

Situ Nan panicked and said, "I really won't kill it! It might become even stronger!"

"Not possible!" Wang Lin shook his head.

Situ Nan's eyes widened as he stared at Wang Lin and shouted, "Little brat, no one dares to refuse this old man. Back then this old man wanted the first generation's concubine and then I just stole her from him. As long as I want it, no one can refuse me. Are you going to give it to me? If not, I'll kill you with one slap, you unfilial kid!"

Wang Lin stared at Situ Nan. He didn't say a word but silently watched him.

Shortly after, Situ Nan warily smiled and said, "How did I end up with someone like you… Ah, when you were still a kid it was me who adjusted your body so you could cultivate. And it was also me who gave you the idea to steal someone's foundation. And I also saved you many times. Did you forget about the time when the Teng family little brat chased you?

"Also, outside the Jue Ming Valley I risked my life to save you and this is how you treat me? I'm a pitiful old man; I don't have many desires, I just wanted to borrow the mosquito to study…"

Wang Lin felt his head start to ache. If Situ Nan had continued to play it tough, he would be able to ignore it, but now every word Situ Nan was saying was landing on his heart. After a while, Wang Lin let out a helpless smile and said, "Fine, I'll lend it to you, I'll lend it to you!"

Situ Nan's expression suddenly changed to an arrogant one and he laughed. "Good, this is more like the person this old man picked!" With that, he looked toward the mosquito and revealed a creepy smile.

The mosquito's body trembled and it screamed. That smile almost caused it to fall from the sky.

As they flew, Wang Lin pondered a bit and asked, "Situ, do you know the Ji Realm?"

Situ Nan's expression became serious as he said, "The Ji Dao is the Ji of the three realms. Why are you asking this?"

Wang Lin looked at Situ Nan. In this world, aside from Li Muwan, the only other person he could completely trust was Situ Nan.

Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and a blob of white light appeared. This white light gave off a pressure like divine retribution. Although this pressure wasn't dangerous to Wang Lin, it could kill any Nascent Soul cultivator that touches it!

Situ Nan exclaimed in surprise. He picked up the white light, took a closer look, and his expression immediately changed greatly. His divine sense immediately spread out to check their surroundings before he threw the white light toward Wang Lin's bag. He sent the white light through Wang Lin's divine sense and directly into the bag.

Situ Nan exclaimed, "Why do you have the Ji Realm!?!?!"

Wang Lin slowly said, "Back in the Jue Ming valley, a sliver of this Ji Realm appeared in my body. You were still sleeping then, so you didn't see it. Then my body was destroyed and you saved my soul before going back to sleep again. In the foreign battleground, my Ji Realm reached its completion."

"The Ji Realm is a very tyrannical substance. I don't have much information on it, but I know that the cultivation alliance is always looking for Ji Realm cultivators. Whenever they find someone that has it, they kill them. You have to remember to never show it to anyone, especially the current Suzaku!" Situ Nan's expression was very serious…

Wang Lin nodded. He pondered got a bit and then said, "I suspect this Ji Realm has something to do with your Underworld Ascension Cultivation Method."

Situ Nan was startled. He rubbed his chin and said, "You might have a point, but there are some unknown variables at play here because then I would also have the Ji Realm. As far as I know, the chances of the Ji Realm appearing are simply too low. Also, it is too difficult to cultivate; the fact that you were able to remove it from you body without being affected is already very rare." Situ Nan looked at Wang Lin with appreciation in his eyes.

"Situ, I heard from someone that the Cultivation Planet Crystal can help the Ji Realm break through its limitations. Is that true? What exactly is the Cultivation Planet Crystal?" Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he finally asked the question he had been holding back for hundreds of years.

"You even know about the Cultivation Planet Crystal…" Situ Nan revealed a complex expression before letting out a sigh and saying, "The Cultivation Planet Crystal… that object is not a good thing, but if you want to leave this planet, you really do have to obtain it or else it could cause problems in the future… ah! The Cultivation Planet Crystal is the most vicious thing the cultivation alliance uses to control a cultivation planet…"

Situ Nan was about to continue speaking when he suddenly looked into the distance and said, "We'll talk about this later. Right now there are Forsaken Immortal Clan members before us that are giving offerings to their ancestral spirit. Let me think… I remember the first generation Suzaku studying a spell that could use the ancestral spirit to absorb some of the mysterious power… I'm getting old and my memory is getting worse. I think this is correct. Wang Lin, give me a celestial jade."

As Wang Lin looked into the distance, he slapped the other bag of holding, took out a celestial jade, and handed it to Situ Nan.

Situ Nan took the celestial jade and in one breath of time sucked it dry to the point that it shattered. His eyes were filled with celestial spiritual energy as he said, "I remember the first generation Suzaku saying that this spell had a fatal weakness. Although that weakness is kind of annoying for me right now, I should be able to avoid it. Wang Lin, wait for me here. I'll be right back."

With that, he disappeared.

When Situ Nan appeared and scared Zhuque Zi away, all of the Ascendant cultivators felt that powerful aura.

A white-robed old man appeared in the sky east of the country of Suzaku. He was the only Ascendant cultivator of the Heavenly Jade Sect, Chu Yunfei. At this moment, his expression was unsettled. After a while, he let out a sigh and said, "A very powerful aura…"

He slightly shook his head. As he looked to the east, his eyes became cold. Behind him was several dozen cultivators. Most of them were at the Soul Formation stage and only three of them were at the Soul Transformation stage.

Behind these people were more than 100 Nascent Soul cultivators.

In the sky south of the continent of Suzaku was a cultivation army of more than 100 cultivators that was flying south. The person at the front was a middle-aged man. He was the Shattering Earth Sect's Ascendant cultivator. He bitterly smiled and said, "Unlucky for me to get mixed into such a messy war period…"

After Zhuque Zi returned to Mount Suzaku, he rested for a bit before quickly leaving again. This time his target was in the western side of the Suzaku continent.

In the black clouds on the eastern edge of the Suzaku continent, the fifth ancestor gloomily withdrew his gaze.

The Corpse Sect elder Sima with his Soul Transformation cultivation couldn't detect the change that occurred when Situ Nan appeared, but when he saw this fifth ancestor's expression become ugly, he couldn't help but be surprised.

He was just about to probe for information when the fifth ancestor waved his sleeves and said, "Elder Sima, let's start."

Sima's eyes lit up and he laughed. "Good, the reason I came here was to deliver this corpse. It could make your Forsaken Immortal Clan ancestor spirit tree flourish even more."

With that, he turned around to looked at the two corpse deacons behind him.

Without a word the two deacons got off the coffin and began to form seals. Strands of spiritual energy flew from them and landed on the coffin.

Shortly after, the two of them released a mysterious and ghostly light from their bodies and shouted, "Open!"

The sound of two pieces of wood scraping each other filled the air as the wooden lid of the coffin slowly moved to create an opening. The opening got bigger and bigger.

Black gas came from inside along with the stench of rotting flesh.

The fifth ancestor's gaze was calm as he looked at the coffin. However, the three eight-leaf shamans behind him were very nervous and secretly on guard.

"Rise!" the two corpse deacons shouted together once more.

The lid was suddenly pushed aside by an invisible hand and it smashed into the ground.

At this moment, the black gas became even more dense as more of it escaped from the coffin and seemed to want to surround the entire coffin.

The Forsaken Immortal Clan fifth ancestor coldly said, "This is the corpse you guys were talking about?"

Elder Sima let out a mischievous smile and said, "Fifth ancestor, don't blame me; the orders came from above and the corpse was delivered from above too. I don't have the right to make any decisions. However, on planet Suzaku, there aren't many Soul Transformation Giant Demon Clan corpses; this one was transferred from another planet. The other four corpses should have been delivered to their locations already."

Chapter 427 - Ancestral Spirit Tree

The fifth ancestor remained quiet but slightly frowned.

At this moment, the two corpse deacons' hands formed seals even faster and faster. Then they coughed out blood, but the blood didn't land on the coffin; it formed two blood-people. The two blood people charged directly into the coffin.

A large corpse floated out from the coffin accompanied by a lot of scraping sounds. This corpse was more than 100 feet tall and was rotting; there were parts where you could see the white bones.

Some giant maggots were still moving inside the body, making it look very disgusting.

However, the head of the corpse kept in really good condition, especially between the eyebrows where the purple axe was very noticeable.

Just at this moment, a calm voice came from the distance. "Forsaken Immortal Clan fifth ancestor, this old man Chu Yunfei is here to do battle with you!"

The moment this voice reached them, an earth-shattering bang came from outside the black cloud. Soon after, a powerful pressure appeared outside of the black cloud and shattered it.

10,000 feet away stood the Heavenly Jade Sect's Ascendant cultivator whose eyes were like lightning. Behind him was a large amount of cultivators with cold gazes and eyes filled with killing intent.

The fifth ancestor's eyes became cold as he waved his right hand and said, "Kill!"

With that one word, all of the Forsaken Immoral Clan members charged out and a battle began.

Chu Yunfei arrived beside the coffin, hit it with his palm, and said, "Corpse Sect, you guys are courting death!"

The Forsaken Immortal Clan fifth ancestor reached out and pulled the giant corpse toward where the clan members were giving their offerings before Chu Yunfei's hand could land on it.

With a bang, the large corpse landed on the ground, creating a shockwave that kicked up the dust on the ground.

The coffin was turned to dust by Chu Yunfei's palm.

The fifth ancestor quickly said, "Activate the reincarnation tree!" Then he quickly charged toward Chu Yunfei and waved his hand. Black clouds quickly came and surrounded him and Chu Yunfei.

There were flashes of light coming out from the inside the black cloud as well as shock waves due to celestial spiritual energy being used. Anyone who got caught in the shockwaves was immediately turned to dust.

After the fifth ancestor charged out, one of the elders quickly jumped over the clan members and landed on the large corpse. He didn't seem to mind the maggots on the body as his right hand reached out and a ball of golden light the size of his fist appeared in his hand.

At this moment, one of the mid stage Soul Transformation cultivator's eyes lit up and he got around the person he was fighting before charging toward the person with the golden light. He shouted, "Drop that golden light!" Then he waved his hand and a flying sword flew out.

The eight-leaf shaman suddenly raised his head to look at the middle-aged man that was charging at him. Without any hesitation, he pressed the golden light to the giant corpse's chest.

The golden light flashed as the flying sword went through the chest of the eight-leaf shaman. The eight-leaf shaman's face was deathly pale, but he continued to press the golden light into the chest of the corpse.

Then he let out a laugh and wiped the wound on his chest. He licked the blood from his fingers and quickly charged out to battle the middle-aged man.

The golden glow on the corpse of the Giant Demon Clan corpse became bright and brighter.

Chu Yunzi, who was fighting the fifth ancestor, frowned as he backed up and shouted, "Destroy that Giant Demon Clan corpse."

The surrounding cultivators all charged toward the corpse.

However, the Forsaken Immortal Clan members threw themselves in the way as they didn't care about their lives. Some were even willing to blow themselves up to stop the cultivators from getting in.

The golden glow became brighter and brighter. At this moment, the corpse of the Giant Demon Clan corpse began to shrink. The golden light was like a plant on the earth, growing as it sucked nutrients from the ground.

This process lasted for ten breaths of time before the Giant Demon Clan corpse was drained of all energy and then turned to dust.

Chu Yunfei charged out from the black cloud toward the golden glow. The fifth ancestor sneered inside the black cloud and didn't attempt to stop him.

When Chu Yunfei arrived, the golden glow suddenly shattered and a 1000-foot-tall reincarnation tree appeared.

A powerful shockwave spread from it and completely covered the entire eastern part of planet Suzaku.

Zhu Yunfei's expression changed greatly as he quickly backed up. However, he was hit by the shockwave, so blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

Fifth ancestor sneered as he charged toward Chu Yunfei. Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up as he decided to not fight again. He charged out of this place while shouting, "Retreat!"

The cultivators that were fighting with the Forsaken Immortal Clan all sighed and quickly retreated.

The Forsaken Immortal Clan members were about to chase when the fifth ancestor said, "Don't chase, protect the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit Tree!"

Elder Sima, who hadn't acted at all, looked at the reincarnation tree with a mysterious light in his eyes. He said, "According to the deal between the two of us, where is the item?"

The fifth ancestor pondered a bit before pointing at his brow. Then a tattoo the size of his palm flew out from between his eyebrows.

This tattoo was very complicated; just looking at it would make your eyes spin. However, it contained a hint of a very primal and destructive power.

"This tattoo is one of the tattoos passed by down the ancestors. When I reached the nine-leaf stage, I completed it!" With that, he waved his hand and the tattoo flew toward elder Sima.

Elder Sima's expression became serious as he slapped his bag of holding and took out a jade box. This box didn't give off spiritual energy but celestial spiritual energy and it was covered with powerful restrictions.

He carefully placed the tattoo inside the jade box before letting out a sigh of relief and putting the box in his bag. He then laughed and said, "Fifth ancestor sure is decisive. I hope the other ancestors do the same."

"Since my Forsaken Immortal Clan made a promise to your Corpse Sect, we won't back out on our side of the agreement!" The fifth ancestor coldly looked at elder Sima.

As Sima laughed, his eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "I'll pass on a message from my Corpse Sect's sect master. In my Corpse Sect, we still have a Giant Demon Clan corpse who once cut down many of your nine-leaf shamans. His body has already reached the mid stage of Ascendant. If you are interested, you can contact us at any time!" After saying that, he didn't even wait for a response before quickly leaving.

The two corpse deacons quickly followed and the three of them disappeared from the black cloud.

The same scene happened in the north, south, and west edges of the Suzaku continent as well.

Unfortunately, aside from Zhuque Zi, who successfully destroyed the reincarnation tree in the west, the south and east failed. However, a strange scene unfolded at the northern tree.

Situ Nan's figure moved like a ghost and silently entered the black fog. No one noticed him arrive, not even the fourth ancestor who was in charge of this place.

The moment the Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit Tree started growing, Situ Nan went inside it and became like a parasite.

He absorbed all of the nutrients meant for the tree, causing the very rare Reincarnation Ancestral Spirit Tree sprout to collapse.

This strange scene caused all of the Forsaken Immortal Clan members to be stunned. The furious fourth ancestor had to sacrifice tattoos to finally find Situ Nan.

Situ Nan laughed arrogantly at the fourth ancestor and disappeared, leaving behind only a voice in the wind. "Damn, that was nasty! If I knew it was this nasty, I wouldn't have eaten it!"

The Forsaken Immortal Clan fourth ancestor's hair turned white and his eyes were so bloodshot that blood was about to drip out. He let out a roar as he charged out and chased after Situ Nan. Situ Nan hadn't just devoured a Reincarnation Tree but an Ancestral Spirit!

This was one of the five Ancestral Spirits that the Forsaken Immortal Clan spent tens of thousands of years nurturing. Once an Ancestral Spirit has grown and then is combined with a special spell, it can call upon a spirit body from the void. The spirit body will then fuse with the Ancestral Spirit to create a ten-leaf shaman!

However, an Ancestral Spirit was just devoured right under his nose. His head was filled with rage and his anger had already reached its limit.

"I'm going to kill you!" the fourth ancestor shouted as he chased after Situ Nan like crazy.

Situ Nan was escaping very quickly as he laughed. "The first generation Suzaku's method is a bit shameless, but this old man likes it. When this old man has a body, I can teach it to Wang Lin and the two of us can both devour the Ancestral Spirits. Although I'm afraid that with Wang Lin's current cultivation level, he can't withstand it!"

"I will kill you!" A fierce roar from someone whose heart seemed to have been torn came from behind Situ Nan.

The hatred coming from the roar behind Situ Nan couldn't be described in words.

Wang Lin had already heard the roar from the distance. He immediately put away the mosquito beast and quickly flew off to the side instead of waiting for Situ Nan in one place.

When Situ Nan's divine sense spread out, he found Wang Lin and teleported to him. He appeared beside Wang Lin and quickly said, "You're too slow; I'll carry you. There is a crazy dog chasing after us. Once this old man has a body and has digested the power from the Ancestral Spirit, I'll definitely boil that little crazy dog."

With that, he grabbed Wang Lin and quickly flew off.

Situ Nan's speed was very quick. In the blink of an eye, he and Wang Lin had left the Suzaku Continent and were on their way to the north pole.

The Forsaken Immortal Clan fourth ancestor seemed to have his heart set on chasing after Situ Nan.

As Situ Nan flew, he showed no fear at all; he would often slow down to allow that fourth ancestor to catch up.

"This old man has devoured their Ancestral Spirit and then, after I fuse with that body, I'll devour this little crazy dog too. This should reduce the recovery time by a lot! I will benefit personally and wipe out a shaman that is similar in power to an Ascendant cultivator, so it can be said that I didn't forget the first generation Suzaku's kindness!" Situ Nan laughed.

Chapter 428 - Little Northern Flame Land

The Little Northern Flame Land is at the extreme north of the planet. It is where Xue Yu used to be located.

The ice here has never melted ever since cultivators came to this planet. The cold wind howls all day and the land is filled with ice. From a distance one can see a cloud of dark blue fog that would float around the area. Wherever this fog goes, everything with life will die.

This cold fog is called the Nine-Li fog. This mysterious natural power only appears in extremely cold places.

Aside from destroying everything, the Nine-Li fog has another effect which is to suck in what it can't absorb and slowly refine it.

The Little Northern Flame Land is very large. When Xue Yue was here, they could only explore ? of the land before they weren't able to go in any further, so they ended up building their country on the border of this region.

However, some of the powerful cultivators knew that at the center of the Little Northern Flame Land was a field of red ice.

The ice there wasn't cold but flames.

This is a very occurrence; fire that exists in ice forms a power that can amaze people. Thus, the cultivators on planet Suzaku named this place the Little Northern Flame Land.

There are some ancient restrictions in this land that have existed for a long time; the Nine-Li fog is one of those. There is also the Blood Flame Restriction. It has no effect on things without blood, but if anything with blood gets hit by the light, their blood will start boiling and then they will die within ten seconds.

Aside from those, there is also the ice that can absorb divine sense. This ice makes divine sense constantly weaken when the two come into contact.

At this moment, in the depths of the Little Northern Flame Land lied the body of a boy who was covered by the Nine-Li fog.

The boy was very handsome, but he had a struggling expression. He would occasionally open his mouth to spit out a strand of black gas that would push the Nine-Li fog away.

However, the moment the Nine-Lig fog was pushed away, it would come back and slowly refine the boy.

This boy was the demonic child that Corpse Sect head elder Sun Tai had released against the Giant Demon Clan ancestor.

This demonic child was very strange. Back then, the Giant Demon Clan ancestor's body was destroyed by it. Then the Giant Demon Clan ancestor was forced to escape with his origin soul and in the end used this place to trap the demonic child.

If it wasn't for the fact that Sun Tai was sent away by the Giant Demon Clan ancestor's bloodline power, then with Sun Tai controlling it, the demonic child wouldn't have been trapped.

The origin of this demonic child was great!

To talk about the origin of this demonic child, we first have to talk about the Corpse Sect!

The Corpse Sect is a very large sect; it is not something any sect on planet Suzaku can compare to. In fact, there are branches of the Corpse Sect in many planets.

Kate Middleton Shocks UK By Stepping Away From Official Duties

LIMELIGHT MEDIA

The Corpse Sect is a very large organization with roots in many different cultivation planets. They are involved in the trade of bodies and collecting items of mysterious origins.

Very few people know where the headquarters of the Corpse Sect is located because this is a secret!

The structure of the Corpse Sect is like a tower; there are many different levels.

Inside the cultivation alliance, the Corpse Sect is one of the few recognized as an official sect. Compared to all the various sects on the many cultivation planets, the Corpse Sect is one of the few real sects of the current era.

A lot of older generation cultivators know that you can't casually mess with the Corpse Sect. It is said that the person behind the Corpse Sect has some connection with the collapse of the Celestial Realm.

However, this is only a rumor; no one knows if it's true or false.

But no matter what, there is no need to question just how powerful the Corpse Sect is.

In every Corpse Sect branch, there is a sect master and a head elder. The sect master is responsible for managing the affairs of the sect while the head elder is responsible for monitoring everything.

Inside the Corpse Sect there is a jade containing information on more than 3,000 different kinds of bodies. Once one of those bodies are found, they can be exchanged for some heavenly treasures.

The demonic child was something Sun Tai obtained in a desolate planet

The body of this demonic child is ranked 171 in the Corpse Sect. It has a hidden spirit root that hasn't been determined yet; it's a body created by nature to be possessed. When someone possess it, it will develop a spirit root to match that person.

Sun Tai was very happy after finding this body. He refined it for more than 1000 years to finally create this demonic child. It even had the ability to use spells, and just the body itself was already at the mid stage of Soul Transformation. The only strange thing about it was that it had to be kept inside a special formation to be nurtured and couldn't leave the formation for too long.

Which was why when Sun Tai went to the Celestial Realm, he didn't bring the demonic child with him. After he came back, he retrieved it and planned to go to a nearby planet with a large Corpse Sect branch. He planned to exchange the body for a rank 8 soul splitting pill to remove Zhou Yi's seal.

It was at that moment that Wang Lin called for him, which was why he had the demonic child to use against the Giant Demon Clan ancestor.

On this day, in the Little Northern Flame Land, two rays of light traveling faster than the speed of sound flew across the sky; two people in the front and one person in the back. One of the ones in the front was wearing a white robe and under his flowing, white hair was the face of a young man.

Beside this young man was a middle-aged man. His build was large and he gave off an very arrogant aura. If one looked closely, they would see that his body wasn't solid but somewhat transparent.

The last person was a white-haired old man with his teeth clenched closely as he chased after them.

Wang Lin was among the three of them.

Situ Nan looked back at the Forsaken Immortal Clan fourth ancestor and shouted, "You're too slow, you little brat; this old man had to wait for you so many times. If you don't fly faster, this old man isn't going to wait for you!"

The fourth ancestor was furious. He wanted to give up many times along the way, but every time he was about to, the middle-aged man would stop to taunt him.

The fourth ancestor found this very strange, but he wasn't willing to give up. He had a secret technique that he could use to take back the Ancestral Spirit back, but the requirement was for the Ancestral Spirit to not have been refined yet.

This was why he kept chasing.

The three of them were very quick. They flew to the center of the Little Northern Flame Land and entered the area of the ice flames. Wang Lin was able to immediately see the demonic child inside the red flame.

Situ Nan's eyes lit up. He stopped, let out a laugh, and looked back at the fourth ancestor who was quickly arriving.

"Before my body was destroyed, I cultivated in this place for a very long time, so I have a very deep understanding of the restrictions here." Situ revealed a reminiscent look as his hand formed a seal and pointed at the air.

The ground immediately shook as a golden light began to gather and then it flew out.

Situ Nan laughed as he grabbed Wang Lin, then he moved 1000 feet away and looked at the fourth ancestor.

The moment the fourth ancestor arrived, the entire sky was covered by a white light. This white light was very bright and was carrying a mysterious power which landed on the fourth ancestor's body. Red light immediately appeared under the fourth ancestor's skin.

The fourth ancestor sneered. "The Blood Flame Light!" His Forsaken Immortal Clan was native to this planet, so they had a very good understanding of this place. He was able to immediately recognize what the white light was.

He waved his right hand and a giant tattoo appeared before him. The tattoo flashed and then all of the white lights were pushed away from the fourth ancestor's body.

Situ Nan exclaimed in surprise and his eyes became cold. He then moved as fast as lightning toward the fourth ancestor.

The fourth ancestor suddenly raised his head toward Situ Nan and waved his hand. The tattoo before him turned into threads which attempted to trap Situ Nan.

Situ Nan laughed. He didn't dodge but went through these threads and directly entered the fourth ancestor's body. The fourth ancestor shouted, "Get out of there!"

He slapped his forehead and a nine-leaf plant appeared on it.

The moment this plant appeared, Situ Nan came out of the fourth ancestor, released all of his aura, and shouted, "Nine-Li fog!"

The fog surrounding the demonic child quickly flew to Situ Nan, trapped the two of them, and dragged them toward the ice flame that the demonic child was trapped in.

This happened very quickly. In almost an instant, Situ Nan and the fourth ancestor were surrounded by the fog. A pillar of ice flame formed around each of them.

At this moment there were three pillars of ice flame inside the Nine-Li fog.

Situ Nan revealed a look of joy inside the ice flame and then mysteriously came out of it. He flew into the ice flame where the demonic child was located and entered the body.

"Wang Lin, this Nine-Li fog is a natural formation, and it makes the perfect protection for me. It won't take long for me to recover my cultivation. I'll come find you when I'm done. You'll have to be careful of Zhuque Zi during this time; don't die before I come out!" Situ Nan's voice came out from the Nine-Li fog.

Wang Lin pondered a bit. He looked at the child inside the fog and asked, "You don't need me to guard you?"

"No need; this Nine-Li fog is the best protection!" Situ Nan's voice contained a trace of excitement. After tens of thousands of years, he would finally have a body again. Even though he had been through a lot in his life, he couldn't help but be excited.

"Foreign cultivators, just you all wait! Once this old man recovers his cultivation, I'll definitely find you guys for my revenge!"

Wang Lin raised his head to look into the distance and calmly said, "You still haven't told me what the Cultivation Planet Crystal is."

"Cultivation Planet Crystal… Before I became the ruler of a cultivation planet, I also thought that it was some powerful treasure. However, after I became the second generation Suzaku, I found that this item was simply too vicious!"

Chapter 429 - The secret of the Cultivation Planet Crystal

Wang Lin frowned as he waited for Situ Nan to continue.

"The Cultivation Planet Crystal… it's dog farts! It is something the Cultivation Alliance created and they give one to every single cultivation country that reaches rank 6.

"Planting it within the cultivation planet and activating it will cause the entire planet to be surrounded by mysterious power. From the day it opens, any living thing that is born on that planet will be missing a piece of its soul.

"This piece of soul is absorbed by the Cultivation Planet Crystal and absolute power over the crystal is given to the country by the Cultivation Alliance. Hehe, a rank 6 cultivation country is like a king because of the existence of the Cultivation Planet Crystal!

"With this object, any generation of Suzaku can kill any living thing on the planet unless that person or creature is one step past the Ascendant stage and forcibly retrieves their piece of soul. Otherwise, there is no other way.

"However, my speculation is that the Cultivation Planet Crystal isn't a secret in a lot of other planets and people have found ways to deal with it or else there wouldn't be so many rank 6 countries that got toppled by the people of their own planet.

"But in general, this Cultivation Planet Crystal gives ultimate control of the planet to the rank 6 cultivation countries.

"When I became the Suzaku and found out about this, I secretly sabotaged it and sealed the Cultivation Planet Crystal. Although the crystal can still absorb the pieces of souls, it can't be used until the seal is broken. This is why the current planet Suzaku is such a mess; otherwise, it would be as sturdy as an iron drum.

"Haha, all of the Suzakus after me must've hated me for this, but I just don't like that sheetty crystal!"

Even with Wang Lin's mental strength, after he heard this, his expression couldn't help but turn ugly and his heart trembled.

Wang Lin asked, in a serious tone, "So if Zhuque Zi gets control of the Cultivation Planet Crystal, he will only need but a thought to kill me?"

Situ Nan said, "There is an item called the Cultivation Planet Heart that is linked to the Cultivation Planet Crystal. Only the current Suzaku has possession of it. He will have to give up some of his lifespan to activate it and it will allow him to kill anyone. A piece of your soul is inside the crystal, so if you want to have a peaceful future when you leave the planet, you must extract your soul from the Cultivation Planet Crystal."

"Then that means that what I heard about the Cultivation Planet Crystal being able to help the Ji Realm evolve is false." Wang Lin frowned.

"This matter is difficult to talk about since I don't have the Ji Realm to study. Okay, let's talk about it all once I recover. Wang Lin, you don't have to worry too much; I'm still there." Situ Nan quieted down and began his possession.

Wang Lin stood still. After a long time, his eyes turned cold.

"How could my life be in someone else's hands?!"

"No wonder so many cultivation countries betrayed Suzaku the moment the Forsaken Immortal Clan appeared. No wonder Zhuque Zi wanted to wipe out rank 5 cultivation countries that could become rank 6. So this is the reason behind it all."

"If Zhuque Zi could still control the Cultivation Planet Crystal, then the situation now would not be like this. With an attack from all cultivators on the planet, the Forsaken Immortal Clan would be in danger of being wiped out."

"If Zhuque Zi could control the Cultivation Planet Crystal then he could have easily taken the one-billion-soul soul flag from senior Du Tian rather than wait until now."

"Cultivation Planet Crystal! Na Duo had no reason to lie to me, but his tone back then was also filled with uncertainty." Wang Lin's figure disappeared from the Little Northern Flame Land.

"The most important thing right now is to get the Cultivation Planet Crystal and retrieve that piece of my soul. Then I'll leave the planet to find the All-Seer . With the current mess planet Suzaku is in, it is not fit for cultivating.

"However, I still need to make some preparations before that. The one-billion-soul soul flag has weakened, so I need to take another trip to the foreign battleground to capture wandering souls and see if they can be used to help replenish the soul flag. If it is possible, I'll catch a few soul devourers to use as primary souls. When I do that, the one-billion-soul soul flag's power should recover.

"Also, there is that small bottle of blood from the Giant Demon Clan ancestor. That bottle is very important to my original body which is still on the moon; it can allow my original body to use the ancient gods' techniques! That person who was begging for help under the Corpse Sect in Zhao must be the Giant Demon Clan's founding ancestor. I need to go there to see if I can get more blood."

"Unfortunately, the amount of spiritual energy the original body needs to reach the four-star stage is unimaginable. I also need the aura of an adult ancient god which will be very difficult to get."

"In the ancient god clan, going from three stars to four stars is a rite of passage. Once the original body makes a breakthrough, then according to the memories I inherited, it will match an Ascendant cultivator.

"Tuo Sen inside the land of the ancient god is also a big issue. If he leaves the land of the ancient god, the first thing he will do is find me. With my current cultivation, even with my original body, I'm no match for Tuo Sen. Even if Situ Nan also acted, the result would be the same."

"After all, Tuo Sen has inherited Tu Si's strength, and during his peak Tu Si was an eight-star ancient god that could destroy a planet with his palm." Wang Lin frowned. Tuo Sen has always been a thorn in his heart. One of the reasons he wanted to quickly leave planet Suzaku was because of Tuo Sen.

"I must return to Chu to send Zhou Ru home." Wang Lin's eyes lit up as he turned and flew toward Chu.

Along the way, the sky was almost completely covered by black clouds. The black clouds were filled with Forsaken Immortal Clan members. They were using the black clouds to quickly fly toward the Suzaku continent.

The more Wang Lin saw, the more sullen he became. Although he hated Zhuque Zi, he was still a cultivator. Along the way, he killed countless Forsaken Immortal Clan members. Unfortunately, there were simply too many, so he had to give up and keep himself hidden as he flew toward Chu.

Almost all rank 3 cultivation countries had either been destroyed or fallen under the Forsaken Immortal Clan's control.

All of the Forsaken Immortal Clan members were gathered on the Suzaku continent when the second battle with the country of Suzaku began!

During the journey to the Suzaku continent, the Forsaken Immortal clan attacked everyone on the way. A large number of rank 4 cultivation countries had fallen in their wake.

The entire planet was covered in blood.

Less and less cultivators were appearing in the sky of planet Suzaku and the black clouds seemed to be in the sky all the time.

The attack the Forsaken Immortal Clan has been preparing for tens of thousands of years finally exploded in full force on planet Suzaku.

The country of Suzaku immediately began their fierce counterattack the moment the second battle began. Qian Feng was appointed the leader of this battle, so all cultivators had to listen to his orders.

Large amounts of cultivators were sent to various places to fight the Forsaken Immortal Clan.

Every rank 5 cultivation country became a battleground. The entire planet was trembling and was about to collapse from this war.

However, the country of Suzaku wasn't strong enough to resist, so it kept being pushed back.

Almost every day a large amount of cultivators died in battle.

At the same time, one shocking piece of news after another spread from cultivators who managed to escape.

All of the sects from the the rank 5 cultivation country of Water Ink had switched sides!

The rank 5 cultivation country of Peony had switched sides!

The rank 5 cultivation country of Qin had switched sides!

The betrayal of three rank 5 cultivation countries was like three sucker punches to the already retreating country of Suzaku.

Eventually, the country of Suzaku had to pull their line of defense back to the Suzaku continent.

However, even more shocking news spread out. These news caused the hearts of every cultivator on planet Suzaku to tremble.

This generation's Suzaku's junior apprentice brother, the one who lost the fight for the title of Suzaku, Yunque Zi, appeared.

He suddenly appeared in the same battlefield as Zhuque Zi and pulled off a sneak attack on him, causing Zhuque Zi to be gravely injured.

Yunque Zi's identity was the Forsaken Immortal Clan's second ancestor!

Wang Lin heard this when he was returning to Chu. The shock in his heart was indescribable.

He had a hunch that Yunque Zi would come looking for him.

However, one person found Wang Lin before Yunque Zi. On this day, Wang Lin had just opened an ancient transfer array. The destination of this array was Chu.

The moment he walked into the array, Wang Lin stopped and turned around to look into the distance where he saw a burly man wearing a straw hat closing in.

"Brother Wang, it has been many years since we last met. Do you still remember me?" The burly man stopped ten feet before Wang Lin and took off his straw hat.

At the eastern side of the Suzaku continent, the Heavenly Jade Sect's Ascendant ancestor's expression was very ugly. Earlier he was hit by the shockwave of the Ancestral Spirit and was left with injuries which he was forced to suppress. Then the battle with the Forsaken Immortal Clan began, so he had no time to rest before going back into battle.

In the battle three days ago, the fifth ancestor appeared once more. During their battle his injuries broke out and he was forced to flee. He was heading back to the Heavenly Jade Sect because he decided that until his injuries were healed, he wouldn't be helping Zhuque Zi.

"If it comes down to it, I'll just leave this planet. With my cultivation level, I'll be a powerhouse on any cultivation planet."

Seeing that the Heavenly Jade Sect was in sight, Chu Yunfei suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.

A person walked over from the horizon. This person was wearing a red robe, his face was old, he gave off an ancient aura, and a powerful pressure could be felt from him. He stopped 20 feet before Chu Yunfei and stared at him.

"Brother Chu, we haven't met in many years. Is everyone still fine?"

Chu Yunfei's eyes became serious as he looked at the person and said, "Yunque Zi!"

The red-robed old man raised his head, let out a sigh, and said, "So it seems brother Chu still remembers me. Forget it. Brother Chu, I came this time to give you some advice: leave planet Suzaku!"

The current Yunque Zi had no trace of his previous messy self.

I'm renaming Tian Yunzi to All-Seer. He is the old man who agree to accept Wang Lin as a disciple for 100 years if Wang Lin can reach his planet

Chapter 430 - Messenger

Chu Yunfei's eyes became cold and he said, "What do you mean?"

Yunque Zi shook his head and said, "You should go. Your cultivation isn't a match for me and you are heavily injured. Brother Chu, don't come back for 1,000 years."

Chu Yunfei's eyes became even colder as he said, "What if I don't agree?"

Yunque Zi let out a sigh before he waved his hand and a piece of black wood appeared. The black wood exploded into a cloud of black mist and then there was a flash of golden light followed by the appearance of a powerful pressure.

An illusionary figure appeared within the golden light. It arrived before Chu Yunfei in an instant and gently patted him.

Chu Yunfei's expression immediately changed and he quickly backed up. He waved his hand and his celestial spiritual energy quickly gathered before him.

However, the palm went right through the celestial spiritual energy and pressed down upon Chu Yunfei's chest at an unimaginable speed.

Chu Yunfei coughed out a mouthful of blood and quickly backed up before escaping toward the horizon.

"Yunque Zi, I'll leave planet Suzaku!" Chu Yunfei's voice came from the distance. It contained a hint of depression.

"Why did you stop me from killing him?" The illusionary figure turned around and looked toward Yunque Zi.

Yunque Zi calmly looked at the figure and said, "The moment you act, Zhuque Zi will detect it. Let's go." He and the figure both disappeared.

The moment they left, the clouds turned red and slowly revealed Zhuque Zi's figure.

"Yunque! Get out!" Zhuque Zi's face was filled with anger as he roared. His voice suddenly spread out in all directions.

"Senior apprentice brother, the battle between the two of us is unavoidable. Because we were in the same sect for 1,000 years, I'll give you three months to recover. After that we will have our battle at the foot of Mount Suzaku!"

Yunque Zi's voice slowly came from the empty air.

Zhuque Zi took a deep breath. His expression was gloomy as he muttered, "I know your objective, Yunzhu. You are playing with fire!" Then he disappeared.

Yunque Zi and the figure slowly appeared somewhere in the sky above the Suzaku continent. The figure asked, "Why give him so much time? It shouldn't take that long to kill Zhuque Zi."

 これは家です!本当に驚きです.Iconike

Yunque Zi looked at the figure and said, "In the Forsaken Immortal Clan, including me, there are three nine-leaf shamans, one ten-leaf shaman, and you, an eleven-leaf shaman. If all five of us attack together, it will not be hard to kill Zhuque Zi!

"In addition, although only two of the Ancestral Spirit Trees were successful, two more ten-leaf shamans will descend soon, so with the seven of us, killing Zhuque Zi will be even easier!

"However, Zhuque can't be killed right now!"

The figure pondered a bit and said, "You have been among the cultivators for too long and forgot your origin. Do you still remember how many clan members were sacrificed to send you into the country of Suzaku…"

Yunque Zi's eyes lit up and he sneered. "First ancestor, I'll tell you one more time: don't underestimate Zhuque Zi. Zhuque Zi has the Cultivation Planet Crystal. Although it has been sealed by the second generation Suzaku, every Suzaku in the past tens of thousands of years has been looking for a way to break the seal. The previous Suzaku even found a weak point. With my understanding of the current Suzaku, if we kill him, he will definitely destroy the Cultivation Planet Crystal before his death to kill every cultivator on the planet. At that moment, when such a big calamity unfolds, the Cultivation Alliance will definitely send people to deal with this. Do you think our Forsaken Immortal Clan can deal with the Cultivation Alliance?"

The figure remained silent.

"If things had gone according to my plan, we could have nurtured a cultivator to be the next Suzaku and then continue this charade which would allow our Forsaken Immortal Clan to continue to exist. This is the best method; however, the ancestor was too eager, so he broke you all out and destroyed all of my plans." Yunque Zi was very gloomy.

"Even my identity was forced to be revealed by all of you to prove that I'm a member of the Forsaken Immortal Clan. In my view, it was pointless!"

Yunque Zi slowly said, "First ancestor, if you want our clan to last, we must get our hands on the Cultivation Planet Crystal and allow one of the people I picked to become the next Suzaku so we can indirectly control all of the cultivators on the planet.

"I had already picked four candidates and only needed a few decades for my plan to come into fruition. The scheme I had planned for countless years was destroyed by you guys!

"The two successors Zhuque Zi has chosen are Qian Feng and Liu Mei. That Qian Feng has learned the Suzaku Tactic, so I believe that he is a body that the current Suzaku has prepared for possession. Every generation of Suzaku has tried to find a way to use possession to extend their lifespan, and I believe that this Suzaku has found a way.

"This is why I found my second candidate, Zi Xin. If Zhuque Zi succeeded in his possession, he would be under this girl's control. Even if I were wrong and Zhuque Zi really has been grooming Qian Feng to be the next Suzaku, when he becomes the next Suzaku, he would still be controlled by Zi Xin.

"The third person I picked was Zhou Wutai. This child has the bloodline of the green dragon. Since the Green Dragon Clan helped us in the war a long time ago, I picked him as one of the candidates. That is why I went to the Four Sect Alliance and he is what I have prepared to deal with Liu Mei.

"However, what is interesting is that while I was at the Four Sect Alliance, I met a cultivator named Wang Lin. His talent was ordinary and there was nothing special about him, yet he was able to comprehend the life and death domain. In the heat of the moment, I made him the fourth candidate on a whim.

"I originally didn't pay much attention to this person, but his development later on shocked me greatly. At the Celestial Realm, he took Red Butterfly's arm. After he returned, his cultivation level skyrocketed and he even caught the attention of Zhuque Zi.

"This person also has too many secret and sometimes even I can't see through him. Thus, in the end, I picked him as the main candidate for my plan!

"Even now he is still the main candidate! And also the most crucial component of my plan!"

The figure pondered a bit before raising his head. He then stared coldly at Yunque Zi and said, "This explanation is still not enough!"

Yunque Zi's eyes because serious and he said, "I don't know how much the Cultivation Planet Crystal will affect my Forsaken Immortal Clan. If it does have an effect, then all of the clan members that were born since the cultivators took over will die, including you and me. Is this explanation enough?"

The figure pondered again. Then he let out a sigh and said, "Who was the first candidate you picked?"

Yunque Zi faintly smiled. "When the messenger has completed his task and if nothing goes wrong, then my first candidate will become the next Suzaku!"

The figure finally asked, "Why give Zhuque Zi three months?"

"Because I want to wait until he activates the Cultivation Planet Crystal! I won't act now, but when I do, I won't give Zhuque Zi a chance!"

Outside the transfer array to Chu, Wang Lin looked at the burly man who had taken off his straw hat. Although Wang Lin's heart trembled slightly, it didn't show in his face. He smiled and said, "Long time no see, brother Zhou!"

The burly man put the straw hat down on the side, slapped his bag of holding, and took out table with cups on it. He said, "Brother Wang, I'm craving a bit of wine. Do you still have any of that wine from back then?"

Wang Lin's eyes faintly lit up as he looked at the straw hat. He slapped his bag of holding and a bottle of wine appeared in his hand. When he looked at the wine, the image of Da Niu appeared in his mind. After all these years, he had less than ten bottles of Da Niu's wine left.

He placed the wine on the table, sat down, poured a cup, and drank it all in one go.

Zhou Wutai let out a mischievous smile as he picked up the wine, poured himself a full cup, and took a sip, then he said, "The wine is still the same as before and the person is still the same as before, but our hearts are completely different now. Although the setting is the same as before, the two of us have changed."

Wang Lin pondered. He held the cup and didn't speak.

"Brother Wang, aren't you curious about why I am not dead? I still remember when you took the Rain Cauldron from me." Zhou Wutai looked at Wang Lin with a smile that was not a smile.

Wang Lin calmly said, "Rather than Red Butterfly getting it for cheap, I took it. However, even if I didn't, I believe brother Zhou had other plans anyway."

Zhou Wutai laughed. He poured another cup and said, "Let's not talk about the past anymore. Brother Wang's fame on planet Suzaku has been high for these past several years. For this, I offer you a cup!"

With a smile on his face, Wang Lin poured himself a cup and chugged it all down.

Zhou Wutai's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Wang, I offer you a second cup to thank you for killing Li Yuanfei and sealing Xue Yue!" With that, he drank his cup.

After two cups there was suddenly silence between the two of them.

Shortly after, Zhou Wutai looked into the distance and said, "Wang Lin, senior wants you to look for him… for him to teach you how to truly use the Yunque hat."

After seeing Zhou Wutai coming with the straw hat, he already knew that Zhou Wutai had something to do with Yunque Zi. From what he learned, the straw hat was not something Yunque Zi would casually give out.

Wang Lin immediately understood why Zhou Wutai didn't die after seeing the straw hat.

Wang Lin calmly said, "Tell Yunque Zi I won't go looking for him."

Zhou Wutai revealed a complex expression and said, "Brother Wang, you and I are both pawns in his game. Senior gave this straw hat to another person. You should know her, her name is Zi Xin!"

Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he sneered.

Zhou Wutai shook his head, then he stood up and picked up the wine. He looked slightly depressed as he said, "Brother Wang, how about giving me this half-full bottle of wine?"
