Spirit Vessel

Chapter 1049: King Zhuanlun’s Tragedy

King Zhuanlun was a notorious figure feared by many. Though he was grievously injured, mighty paragons still didn’t want to mess with him. Feiyun had no choice but to risk it all.

“Whoosh!” A black beam shot straight for King Zhuanlun.

He didn’t know what it was but still decided to dodge. Alas, it was too fast and smashed his chest.

Since he has just rebuilt his body, it was still unstabilized so it split into several pieces. He screamed from the pain.

Feiyun had prepared for a tough fight and didn’t expect this at all.

The black beam didn’t stop and continued to zigzag forward, seemingly trying to run away.

“We’ll see how long you can run for!” Evil Woman appeared in the void, her long hair draped down her white dress.

She looked around and finally saw the broken bones. Her pretty eyes flashed brightly.

“Who ambushed me?! When I live again, I will tear you to pieces!” Purple fog materialized around the bones and gathered them again into the old daoist who was trembling with rage.

Evil Woman took out her Immeasurable Tower and sucked him in.

“Who?!!!” His voice came from inside the tower.

Evil Woman ignored him and held the tiny tower in her palm: “A powerful soul and the vitality of a blood qilin pseudo saint? Perfect, refining this will be helpful for my sixth corpse transformation.”

Feiyun’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground. One of the ten kings of the Yin World was taken don this easily?

The turtle crawled out of his robe and stood on his shoulder: “I bet that beam earlier was our Laoshi.”

“You’re telling me that King Zhuanlun got killed by a fruit?”

“It was just an accident, Evil Woman is the one who will kill him.”

“Whooh!” Evil energy assaulted them.

Evil Woman stood in front of the turtle and replaced her evil aura with a sacred energy, looking like a saintess.

“Did you see the Sacred True Fruit flying by?”

“No.” The turtle gritted its teeth.

She lifted it by the neck and shook it repeatedly. Blood gems fell out from its shell, brimming with sacred energy and laws on the surface.

“Monster, do what you want to me but leave my treasures alone!” The turtle tried to claw but couldn’t reach her. It didn’t take long before all of its treasures fell out of the shell.

She picked up one of the gems and said: “Blood essence from a saint? A phoenix saint at that. Wonderful, I will borrow them for my transformation.”

“Borrow my ass!” The turtle lunged for her but she sent it flying with a slap, causing it to roll nonstop on the ground.

She picked up an item and said: “A rainbow bamboo root, cultivating one to maturity can prolong one’s lifespan by ten thousand years. It’s rotting away in your possession, let me plant it.”

“A piece of immortal bronze meant for crafting fifteenth rank and above, I’ll keep it for you temporarily.”

“Oh? A stone carved by a phoenix saint. A turtle won’t be able to learn this, I’ll borrow it for three days.”

With that, she stared at the turtle and asked with a soft voice: “Any objection?”

It got up from the ground and clenched its fists; its teeth chattered loudly since it risked its life for all of these treasures.

She asked for its opinion after already putting them in her spatial stone.

“None.” It put on a forced smile while thinking: ‘Evil Woman, take them all, you’ll get yours one day, you’ll get yours…’

“Good.” She continued checking out the treasures and putting them in her spatial stones with beautiful and transcending movements.

The turtle went over to Feiyun and whispered: “Feiyun, you gotta be annoyed with her too? Let’s work together and take her down?”

Feiyun had already hidden the cauldron and dragon-phoenix armor well. He said: “She has a saint vessel in that tower, we’ll be taken down first.”

“That’s not what I meant, I want you to take her in as a wife, she’s too hard to live with and needs someone to rein her in.” The turtle was determined to have revenge after being bullied so many times.

Feiyun knew what it was planning and smiled: “I think it’s better that we back off first. We’ll get payback once we’re stronger.”

He knew that her cultivation soared after obtaining the ghost vessel. He stood no chance and would only become another victim of her greed.

Unfortunately, she appeared in front of him and asked: “The fruit is long gone, I need another method for the transformation. You, follow me to Alchemy Ghost Market so that I can buy a plot of immemorial evil land.”

“Why me?” Feiyun smiled wryly.

“I don’t have enough spirit stones on me.” She nonchalantly said.

“I don’t have any either.” The smile on Feiyun’s face looked rather forced.

“I see, then we’ll have to borrow then.” She said.

“Borrow…?”

“The plot of land.”

He naturally knew what she meant by “borrow”. It would be very problematic for him to tag along.

No one would mess with her after her sixth transformation, but what about him? He would need to run forever.

“That market has too many experts including demons. If we try to… borrow… the plot of land, they’ll all attack us. The odds are against us, I have a better idea.” He said.

“What?” She looked straight at his red eyes.

He coughed and said: “Give me King Zhuanlun’s soul and the qilin blood first and I’ll tell you.”

“Are you threatening me?” Her aura surged and her hair started swinging like blades while issuing winds.

“No, this is only a transaction.” He calmly said.

She stared at him for a long time before acquiescing, handing over both items. “Speak.”

“An immemorial plot of evil land is too precious, no single man can afford the sum but there is a place here with enough spirit stones.”

“Go on.”

“The treasury of Sacred Court.” Feiyun revealed.

She turned cold and her aura added a layer of snowflakes on him: “This is one of the most highly guarded areas in Sacred Court, this is no different from borrowing the land from the market.”

“It’s different now. Sacred Court has been declining, they are subservient to Azure Territory Lord. Only a few people still support the lord of Sacred Court, we can take advantage of these circumstances to enter the treasury, no need to use force.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go right now.” She said.

He activated his phoenix gaze to see the battlefields outside. The four main stars of Sacred Court have fallen; only Star Court in the center remained standing.

‘Perfect, Star Court must be a chaotic mess right now. This is the best time for that phoenix bone.’ He thought to himself.

The two of them returned to Deep South and saw cultivators from the Yin World everywhere. They were immediately surrounded.

“There are still two over here, kill them!”

Feiyun didn’t hold back and unleashed a palm strike, killing a hundred attackers in the blink of an eye. They fell from the sky like raindrops.

The two then flew toward Star Court. This was the central area of Sacred Court, possessing the toughest defense.

Several top masters from the Yin World couldn’t take down the celestial formation in this place.

This was from the antiquity era. It stopped a saint during its strongest period.
