Chapter 1528 - 1514: Eternal Kingdom

Right after the Ghost Lord Qin Peiling finished muttering to himself, he suddenly felt something was wrong behind him.

He turned around and saw a man standing ten meters behind him, smiling at him.

The Ghost Lord Qin Peiling counted as a top master, yet this person had been able to appear silently behind him without being noticed; this was downright terrifying.

"Who are you?" Qin Peiling secretly raised his Inner Qi and spoke to the man.

With a smile on his face, the man looked at Qin Peiling and said, "I am the reception envoy of the Eternal Kingdom, Mao Jiasheng of the Mao family from Zhongnan."

A trace of surprise appeared on Qin Peiling's face as he said, "The Eternal Kingdom, what kind of place is that?"

The newcomer was none other than Mao Jiasheng, the one who had taught Song Xiaojia the Dragon Summoning Skill.

"The Eternal Kingdom is a place without hatred or killing, where all things in the world can forget all their worries and sorrows," Mao Jiasheng said with a smile.

Qin Peiling said, "What does that have to do with me? I don't want to go there."

Mao Jiasheng said, "I didn't come to take you there. I only came to tell you two things."

Qin Peiling let out an oh and said, "What two things?"

Mao Jiasheng said, "First, the people you sent to look for Pangu's primordial spirit are already dead, and Pangu's primordial spirit has already been taken by Tian Mang. Second, Master Hong Jun has already come out of seclusion. If you want to accomplish your grand plan of ruling the Three Realms, you must eliminate Tian Mang."

Qin Peiling glared at Mao Jiasheng and slowly said, "You're saying Pangu's primordial spirit has already fallen into Tian Mang's hands. Then where is Tian Mang now?"

Mao Jiasheng laughed loudly and said, "You two have already met. He's that kid who broke your Extreme Demon World."

"It's him." Qin Peiling wasn't surprised at all by the deaths of those Maoshan Tao disciples, but when he heard this from Mao Jiasheng, he couldn't help being stunned.

Mao Jiasheng nodded and said, "That's right, it's that kid. I can also tell you something else: after getting Pangu's primordial spirit, that kid accidentally activated it. You are absolutely no match for him right now."

After a moment of silence, Qin Peiling looked at Mao Jiasheng and said, "What's your real purpose in telling me all this?"

Mao Jiasheng's expression turned serious as he said, "With Pangu's primordial spirit born, the Three Realms will return to Pangu's rule. Our Eternal Kingdom will also be affected, so we must destroy him before Pangu truly resurrects."

This reason was really somewhat far-fetched; how could Qin Peiling not hear it? He said, "Right now I'm simply no match for that kid. If you want my help, I'm afraid I don't have the strength even if I have the will."

Mao Jiasheng smiled faintly and said, "Let me tell you another secret. Although Tian Mang fused with Pangu's primordial spirit is terrifying, there is a way to deal with him."

When Qin Peiling heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "What way?" he asked.

Mao Jiasheng said, "Tian Mang is Master Hong Jun's disciple in the mortal world, which is already a very special identity, and he normally wouldn't leave offspring with people of the earthly world. But this time, this Tian Mang actually had a child with a mortal woman."

Qin Peiling asked curiously, "You mean find the offspring Tian Mang left behind and use them to threaten him?"

Mao Jiasheng shook his head and said, "The offspring Tian Mang left in the earthly world may be nothing special to ordinary people, but to cultivators it's a heavenly treasure, even more useful than that Nine Yin Absolute Pulse body you saw."

Light started to flicker in Qin Peiling's eyes as he stared at Mao Jiasheng without speaking.

Mao Jiasheng said, "In Tian Mang's offspring's bloodline there is a special effect that can increase a cultivator's cultivation by more than tenfold."

Tenfold increase—what kind of concept was that? A greedy gleam flashed in Qin Peiling's eyes. If his cultivation could be increased tenfold, let alone Pangu's primordial spirit, he wouldn't even put Master Hong Jun in his eyes.

"Then where is this child now?" Qin Peiling asked.

Mao Jiasheng said, "The child has already been born and is in this very city of Shanghai."

...

Zhang Wenhui led Song Xiaojia and Lai Xiaole out of the Hongyuan Building, stopped not far ahead, and said to Song Xiaojia, "Girl, notify all the police and everyone else to leave the Hongyuan Building immediately. Put the entire one-kilometer radius around the Hongyuan Building under lockdown."

Song Xiaojia was slightly stunned and said, "Captain Zhang, I'm just a small captain of the criminal investigation team. I'm afraid I don't have that kind of authority."

Zhang Wenhui glanced into the distance and said, "Go find Old Hu. Tell him I said so, and tell him to hurry. If he's late, it may be too late."

Song Xiaojia said, "Captain Zhang, can you at least tell me what exactly is going on?"

Zhang Wenhui said, "There's no time to explain. Just do what I said, quickly. I'm going to help Fu Xi right now."

From the very serious look on Zhang Wenhui's face, Song Xiaojia sensed the gravity of the situation and hurriedly ran toward Old Hu's side.

At this moment, Old Hu was still waiting for Lin Chuan when he suddenly saw Song Xiaojia running over.

"Secretary Hu, have everyone leave here immediately and seal off everything within a one‑kilometer radius." Song Xiaojia ran up to Old Hu and spoke first before Old Hu could say anything.

Old Hu was stunned for a moment and said, "Xiao Song, what on earth happened in there?"

Song Xiaojia said, "Secretary Hu, there's no time to explain, Captain Zhang asked me to tell you this."

Old Hu hesitated for a second, then immediately called over the person in charge, ordered everyone to evacuate at once, and had all the police fall back one kilometer and set up a full cordon.

Lai Xiaole also walked over at this time, and Song Xiaojia said to him, "Xiao Le, you leave with Secretary Hu, I'm going in to help Captain Zhang."

Before Lai Xiaole could react, Song Xiaojia's figure had already flashed away.

Inside Hongyuan Building.

The radiance of Fu Xi blocked the scattered light spheres from Lin Chuan coming at him from all directions.

Lin Chuan's body was no longer within the range of his own control; that voice seemed to be manipulating everything.

The light from both sides grew more and more intense, but Lin Chuan's side seemed even stronger, and it looked like it was about to break through Fu Xi's defensive line.

Fu Xi was already exerting himself to the limit at this moment; he knew exactly what would happen if those scattered rays of light broke through.

Lin Chuan's body was gradually becoming completely uncontrollable. The glow of Blue Amber suddenly flared, the sword light began to spin on its own, forming an illusory sword beam a full ten meters long.

The ten‑meter sword beam soared up and slashed down toward Fu Xi.

Fu Xi was currently focused on stopping those scattered rays of light from the other side and had no time to spare to deal with this slashing sword beam.

At this critical moment, a figure could be seen streaking in like a bolt of lightning.

"Human King, let me lend you a hand!" That figure landed beside Fu Xi, shouted, and swept both palms toward the sword beam like mountains crashing and seas overturning.

This figure was none other than Zhang Wenhui.

Zhang Wenhui poured all of his Inner Qi into those two palms. As they met the sword beam, there was a thunderous boom, and the palm wind shattered the incoming sword light to pieces.

Feng Lingfeng arrived at the seventh floor together with Feng'er; Ye Ling and Chen Ting were curled up in a corner of the restaurant.

Seeing Feng'er come up, Ye Ling couldn't help a surge of excitement in her heart and rushed out.

"Ye Ling, come with me, quick. Master Feng, please help with the other one." Feng'er finished speaking, grabbed Ye Ling around the waist, and quickly left the restaurant, heading straight for the hole in the wall smashed open by the monster, and leapt out.

Feng Lingfeng took hold of Chen Ting's hand and felt her whole body go limp. Without giving her any say, she scooped her up into her arms and jumped out right after Feng'er.

The seventh floor was at least more than ten meters above the ground. As Feng'er leaped down, Ye Ling only heard the whistling of wind in her ears, and, terrified, she clung tightly to Feng'er's body.

Feng'er and Feng Lingfeng were both top‑tier cultivators; this distance was nothing but a piece of cake for them.

When they reached the ground, Ye Ling was still too scared to open her eyes, just clinging tightly to Feng'er.

Feng'er glanced around; not far away police lights were flashing. He said to Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, we're already on the ground."

Only then did Ye Ling open her eyes. Seeing herself hugging Feng'er so tightly, she couldn't help blushing hard, and hurriedly struggled out of Feng'er's arms.

Feng Lingfeng also came down from upstairs with Chen Ting in her arms at this time. She set Chen Ting down, looked at the three of them, and said, "Feng'er, take them and get out of here as fast as you can, go as far as you can."

After saying this, Feng Lingfeng turned and leapt up, going straight to the third floor, and then her figure quickly vanished.

Feng'er knew what Feng Lingfeng was going to do. His gaze shifted and he said to Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, I can't stay with you. You and her hurry and run over to the police."

Ye Ling seemed to understand what Feng'er meant. Her eyes filled with a glimmer of tears as she said, "Feng'er, I'll wait for you at the hotel. If you don't come, I won't leave. Not for my whole life."

A surge of emotion rose in Feng'er's heart; he couldn't help but grip Ye Ling's hand.

Ye Ling started to smile, and tears followed right after.

Feng'er silently gazed at Ye Ling for dozens of seconds, then suddenly let go of her hand, turned, sprang up, and went back into Hongyuan Building.

Ye Ling reached up to wipe the tears from her face, took Chen Ting's hand, and said, "Let's go."

Zhang Wenhui's double palms shattered the sword beam from Blue Amber, and with the momentum his right hand drew back and pressed onto Fu Xi's back.

A stream of power flowed from Zhang Wenhui's right hand into Fu Xi's body. Fu Xi's spirit shook, the light he emitted grew stronger, and the dangerous situation was pulled back from the brink.
