“Born to be enemies? I don’t get it!”
Zhou Bao was a bit irritated that he was arranged a destined enemy. It was the first time that he had heard of the name, how could Yu Nantian become his destined enemy?
“You will know when you meet him!” Speaking of Yu Nantian, Li VII forced a smile, “He is from Yu family and the Yu families call themselves the offsprings of Yu Emperor. Most of its clansmen practice Way of the Emperor and they are all muddled now. Now the leader of the disciples from Divine Wind Palace in the killing squad is Yu Nantian, but he will not only control those from Divine Wind Palace, he will also try to control the 17 of you!”
“This hunt-down was initiated by Divine Wind Palace. It’s not a big deal to let him lead the team!”
“It’s easy for you to say it now, but will you listen to him when the time comes?”
“I will listen to what I should listen, and ignore those that I should ignore. If he asks me to die, will I do that? No!”
“Exactly. You are not willing to be a subordinate, so you won’t get along with him. Let me first warn you that Yu Nantian has a fairy weapon. What I worry most is that his fairy weapon may be used to handle you instead of Ye Qingtian. You are nominally from Immortal Palace, but you’re actually are not that close to Immortal Palace, so Immortal Palace will not become an enemy of Divine Wind Palace for you. You actually are the least advantageous in these 17 people. If Yu Nantian wants to establish his authority, you are the perfect target for him.”
“So troublesome!” Zhou Bao shook his head, “Are you sure he will peck at me first?”
“As long as you get caught by him on the wrong side, he will definitely peck at you. Those who practice Way of the Emperor are all insane!”
“Hmm, Way of the Emperor is one of the 3,000 Great Ways, but it is not the reason to drive people crazy. If he had to peck at me, I wouldn’t mind pecking at him as well!”
“He has a fairy weapon!”
“So what? With his Level-Nine strength, he needs to practice more to activate the power of his fairy weapon!”
“Even if he is not strong enough to activate that power, he is strong enough to handle you!” Seeing how careless and casual Zhou Bao was, Li VII said, “Try to think about what happened to Living Buddha Ba Siba. He was the Individual Immortal of Mysterious Realm, but he couldn’t even fight back when facing that fairy weapon. Your combat capability may be higher than Ba Siba, but once you are confronted with a fairy weapon, you will not be able to fight back!”
“I will be careful.” Realizing Li VII was serious about it, Zhou Bao did not know what to say. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “The incident in Western Capital. Was that done by you and Crown Prince?”
Li VII did not expect Zhou Bao to ask such a question, and he was in a daze for a moment before saying, “Why do you think so?”
“That trap was simple but fatal. Crown Prince was the one who would gain the most benefits from the death of the Emperor. If I wasn’t there, Crown Prince would have already been crowned. Right?” Zhou Bao looked at Li VII with a faint smile on his face and said, “I know you have something to do with Crown Prince. Such a fatal trap could hardly be set by Crown Prince alone, so I guess it was you who helped Crown Prince to do it.”
“Yes, we did it. In fact, we even counted you in our plan. But we underestimated you. We never expected that you would be able to save Yan Yuntian.” Speaking of that, he sighed and said, “and we never could have foreseen such a coincidence!”
“It meant that Yan Yuntian shouldn’t die because of that.” Zhou Bao laughed, “What happened to Elder Chen? I heard that he had been Prime Minister for dozens of years. Although he has retired now, he still participates in politics before the Emperor and enjoys a huge power. Why did he get involved into this?”
“Why are you so interested in the affairs of the imperial court?” Li VII did not answer the question directly but looked at Zhou Bao with interest instead.
“I’m just curious. Older fellows like Elder Chen should be the most loyal towards the Emperor. Why did he stir up such a huge event? Was he tired of living?”
“Everyone has their own ideas and dreams. Elder Chen thought quite differently from Yan Yuntian. When Yan Yuntian was on the throne, he could hardly realize his dreams, so he had to do this.”
“Wasn’t he afraid of being found out?”
“Do you think this kind of thing could be done in the heat of the moment?” Li VII smiled, “Every possibility was considered clearly before the incident. We have already chosen the best scapegoat, so Crown Prince or Elder Chen will not get involved in this!” Li VII smiled and said, “What? Do you want to meddle in this?”
“Here is the thing. My wife doesn’t want to see a family tragedy where a father fights with his son. If the scapegoat you chose was the son of Yan Yuntian, please do me a favor, don’t let him die.” Zhou Bao laughed and said, “There is nothing more important than my wife now. Supervisor, you do know what I mean, don’t you?”
“Yes, of course. I had the exact same feeling as yours when I became a father for the first time.” Li VII laughed out loud, “Just relax. Things will not be that bad where a father fights against his son. Hehe, but if you want this to end well, I will let it end well.”
After seeing Li VII off, Zhou Bao sat on a chair and meditated for a long time.
“Yu Nantian and fairy weapon? This is a bit troublesome.”
Zhou Bao also had fairy weapons. He had Furnace of Immortality, but it was fixed with the space he gained. They were infusing and evolving, so he was not able to use it. Even if he activated it reluctantly, he would not only be unable to use its power but also would receive feedback damages. That was to say, if he really went against Yu Nantian, he might be disadvantageous without a fairy weapon.
“Damn it, why did he practice the god damn Way of the Emperor. What a maniac!” Zhou Bao swore to himself and thought for a moment, “Since I can’t use Furnace of Immortality, I can use another one. Green Spirit said my strength was not enough to use that fairy weapon. But now I’ve gained a huge increase in my cultivation, even if I failed to activate it, at least I could master some of its secrets. Three months is a short period of time for me to study it. I hope I could have some gains, otherwise, I have to keep a low profile.” He was depressed by this inward thought. Then he went to the backyard and took a look at Yan Yunfei. However, ever since they came back from the capital city, Yan Yunfei was in a bad mood. Zhou Bao could not do anything to fix it. After all, although he saved Yan Yuntian, Luo Xuehuan died in front of Yan Yunfei.
That was what Zhou Bao regretted most. If he had known that Yan Yunfei was pregnant, he would never have brought her back to Western Capital. Although Luo Xuehuan was not her biological mother, Yan Yunfei grew up with her, so the relationship between them was better than biological families. Now that she was dead, how would Yan Yunfei feel better at this point?
Once the pregnant woman was in a foul mood, it would affect the baby. Therefore, Zhou Bao was worried, so he cursed Li VII and Crown Prince very hard in his mind. Why would they choose such a timing when his wife was pregnant to give him trouble? Were they not giving him more troubles of his own?
However, they must be very upset now. How could Zhou Bao’s wife be pregnant now? They definitely thought that Zhou Bao was going against them as well.
Sitting on the bedside of Yan Yunfei, Zhou Bao consoled her for a while and said a dozen of jokes that he saw on the Internet in the previous life. There was finally a grin on her face. After Zhou Bao accompanied her to have a nice meal and help her sleep, he was relieved. Zhou Bao went back to the secret room in Jilei Mountain and took out that scarlet gourd.
This gourd was pretty weird. There was no problem for him to activate this gourd. He could do it anytime he wanted. Not only him, those Level Nine experts, and even Level Eight experts could activate it as well. Once it was activated, it will be endowed with the power of a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Moreover, the powerful Qi of Pure Yang would diffuse to everywhere. By the time it would be nothing different from a Pure Yang Celestial Device. No wonder the people of Divine Wind Palace would use it as a Pure Yang Celestial Device.
But then again, this thing could be used as a Pure Yang Celestial Device, but it would waste a lot of Internal Qi and Real Essence. People like Zhou Bao could still bear this waste, but if the others activated it, it would not take them long to exhaust all their Internal Qi and Real Essence.
“Come on, the Heavenly Fairy Weapon, I want to know what’s your differences from the Taihao Fairy Weapon.” Zhou Bao mumbled to himself and put his spiritual mind and divine thoughts into the scarlet gourd.
“Hell, no!” The moment his divine thoughts and spiritual mind was injected, Zhou Bao felt something was wrong, totally wrong. What kind of fairy weapon was it? It was obviously a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Shafts of incantation flooded into his divine thoughts and formed a perfect talisman formation. This talisman formation looked like the one on Zhou Bao’s Golden Flame Mirror. It was exactly a talisman formation of a Pure Yang Celestial Device. As for the talisman formation of fairy weapon, Zhou Bao definitely knew that after he had practiced the head of an Innate Deity into a Furnace of Immortality, instead of being carved, the talisman formation of a fairy weapon would gradually evolve, which was way more complicated than the talisman formation of a Pure Yang Celestial Device.
“Damn, does it mean that Green Spirit was treating me like a fool? This is actually an authentic Pure Yang Celestial Device?” Zhou Bao whispered to himself and took a closer look at it.
“No, there is something wrong with it. This talisman formation is reversed. It’s used to block, not to attack.” All of a sudden, Zhou Bao figured out something, “That is to say, I have to break this talisman formation to see what this gourd truly is!”
Now that the divine thoughts of Zhou Bao were in the gourd, he found nothing special with this gourd. The inner space was as big as the exact size of this gourd. At the bottom of the inner space of this gourd, there was a pale gold talisman formation glittering faint light and thin Pure Yang Qi. It was nothing but a normal Pure Yang Celestial Device.
“This talisman formation seems unbreakable. There must be a way in!” Zhou Bao thought to himself with a purple light flashing between his eyebrows. A piece of divine thought rushed out with a purple light and darted towards that talisman formation.
