“Mister, you have yet ascended into a Heavenly Deity, do you want to wait for a few more days?” asked Mu Suge respectfully.
Zhong Yue looked downwards, seeing countless gods forming a formation underneath the mountain. Those were the Tiger Jiao Cavalry commanded by Mu Suge, “No need for that, we will depart right now. When we arrived at the ancient universe, I’d become a Heavenly Deity but my prince, this time, it will be only you and I. The entire Tiger Jiao Cavalry will make a huge target and we might attract unwanted attention so they should stay.”
“Not even one?” Mu Suge was a little bit surprised, “As you wish, Mister.”
He got down the mountain and ordered the Tiger Jiao Cavalry to return to Xian Tian Palace. He returned alone and asked, “Shall we?”
Zhong Yue stared at Mu Suge and with an indescribable expression, he said, “How many Tiger Jiao Cavalry did leave behind, my prince?”
Mu Suge’s face turned red slightly and he confessed, “To be honest, in my Yuan Shen secret realms now hide 10,000 Tiger Jiao Cavalry. I am worried about our safety so I hid some of them just in case.”
Yin Fanxuan was puzzled, she thought, Mu Suge has indeed kept some beside him but how did darling know that Mu Suge hid some of the Tiger Jiao Cavalry?
Zhong Yue smiled again and he said, “My prince, how many?”
Mu Suge sighed and this time, he bowed and said, “30,000. Mister, you really are smart to be able to know me so well.”
Zhong Yue laughed and said, “You’ve kept the entire Tiger Jiao Cavalry in your Yuan Shen secret realms, why are you trying to hide from me?”
Mu Suge bowed again and he asked, “How did Mister know that I’ve hid them all in my secret realms?”
“I have a Qi observation art. With the entire Tiger Jiao Cavalry hidden in your Yuan Shen secret realms, they have entirely covered your Qi so how could you escape from my senses?” said Zhong Yue slowly.
Qi observation art?
Mu Suge’s heart thumped.
Zhong Yue, however, simply smiled without saying anything more. He knew nothing about any Qi observation art in truth but he merely observed the Karmic links of the many Tiger Jiao Cavalry. With that, each movement from the Tiger Jiao Cavalry failed to escape his detections so Mu Suge definitely couldn’t hide from him when he hid the Tiger Jiao Cavalry in his Yuan Shen secret realms.
“Well, if you insist on bringing them along, I’ll just let you be.”
Zhong Yue added, “However, if anything happens, don’t blame me for the Tiger Jiao Cavalry’s heavy loses.”
Mu Suge nodded and bowed again.
“My dear, stay here and train the Xian Tian Royal Guards while I go for a trip with the prince.”
Zhong Yue told Yin Fanxuan before he said, “My prince, let’s go.”
With a clap, Mu Suge summoned his men who controlled a huge ship towards them. The ship sailed across the ocean and stopped right beside the sacred ground not before a crimson light pillar laid its way all the way before Zhong Yue. Mu Suge then said politely and respectfully, “Mister, please, after you.”
Zhong Yue looked at the ship that was extremely luxurious with a Creator taking the wheel and he couldn’t help but shake his head, he said, “My prince, we will travel by foot.”
“Then how will we be showing off our position and power? We will be mocked and laughed at by the friends in Zi Wei Galaxy, not to mention those strangers from ancient universe.”
Mu Suge added, “Mister, I can abide to all your other requests except for this. I am the prince of Xian Tian Palace, the reinforcement to save Senior Martial Brother Fu Shu and the power assigned to annihilate the rebels, how can I do something that will put shame to my name and my position?”
Zhong Yue smiled and said, “Then have this Creator to set sail first and wait for us at the Ninth Divine City. If he is still alive by then, we will travel on this ship.”
With a nod and a wave, Mu Suge had the Creator set sail, “Go, wait for us at the Ninth Divine City.”
The Creator bowed and left on this luxury warship.
Zhong Yue on the other hand, whipped out a very simple looking basic boat and boarded it with Mu Suge, to which Mu Suge said, “Mister, you really have rather bland tastes. Next time, I’ll gift you a couple of ships so that your rides match your position.”
The little boat sailed out from the Jin Yun Sacred Land and half a day later, Zhong Yue abandoned the little boat and he took out a ship. Mu Suge looked at this luxurious ship and he laughed, “Mister, you told me to keep a low profile but why are you being so flamboyant now?”
Zhong Yue did not bother to answer and half a day later, he kept away this ship and changed their ride into a luxury carriage, which surprised Mu Suge even more. He said, “Mister, you have really prepared a lot of rides.”
Then, for the following trip, Zhong Yue changed the rides every half day. This day, when they changed their ride into another ship, they passed by a sacred ground that was in the midst of a war between two massive celestial races. Blood stained the ground and dismembered flesh continuously fell from the sky like rain.
Zhong Yue stopped and looked outside through the windows; this battle had involved at least a million gods. The shockwaves from their fights shattered stars and planets. An old Creator cast out his Avatar, becoming massively huge with a giant bell in his hands. With a swing, the bell emitted soundwaves that dragged the enemies’ souls into the dimension before sucking them all into the bell.
Another giant slammed his hands onto a bell on the other end. With each beating, countless enemies around him exploded and the planets near him burst apart into dust along with the living beings in them.
Vaguely, a war horn sounded out and Zhong Yue quickly turned around only to find that he had failed to identify where the sound had come from as the warhorn shifted from one place to another in rapid movements.
“Strange….”
Zhong Yue murmured, to which the surprised Mu Suge who was looking towards the outside asked, “Strange? How?”
Zhong Yue’s vision swiped across the field as he said, “This war horn sounded familiar… It felt like it belonged to someone I know from Bi Xie Celestial Race. Never thought that it was him that started this chaos. Seems like he’s not willing to stay low but I feel that something is wrong, very wrong….”
They then left and after traveling for quite a short distance, Zhong Yue anchored at the side and looked towards a luxurious ship that passed by them with a human lady standing at the bow. Beside this lady was a young god with his hands at his back and there was a long war horn carried on his back.
“Consort Tian Si.”
Zhong Yue walked out from the cabin and greeted, “Never expected that I’d run into you here.”
Consort Tian Si stopped the ship right away and greeted back, full with elegance and graciousness, “This humble lady here too, did not expect to see you here, Mister Yi. This man here, I assume you are Prince Mu Suge from Xian Tian Palace? Greetings.”
Mu Suge greeted back right away and he thought in surprise, How did this human lady know me?
Zhong Yue’s vision landed onto the man now standing behind Consort Tian Si and asked, “This man here is from the Bi Xie Celestial Race? I heard your warhorn when I passed by the war zone back there.”
Consort Tian Si introduced immediately, “This is Bi Xie, he was blowing his warhorn along with my zither just now. We didn’t mean to disrupt Mister Yi and the prince.”
“The warhorn, impressive.” said Zhong Yue.
Light flickered in Bi Xie’s eyes right away and he looked at Zhong Yue, who waved and bade farewell.
Consort Tian Si smiled and replied, “Safe journey, Mister Yi.”
Zhong Yue returned to the ship and as they sailed away, Zhong Yue maintained a gloomy expression.
Behind Consort Tian Si, Bi Xie said, “Consort, that is Mister Yi?”
Consort Tian Si nodded and said, “Now, I can’t tell how strong is he as he has surpassed me. Thank god he is heading towards the ancient universe so he won’t pose any threat to our mission here.”
Bi Xie replied, “I heard that the Heaven Court has ordered Xian Tian Palace’s Prince Mu Suge to suppress the rebels in the ancient universe and that the Heaven Court is looking for the prince’s whereabouts. If we notify the Heaven Court and have them kill Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s son….”
“With Mister Yi by his side, the Heaven Court might not succeed but this is a perfect timing to cause some trouble for them.”
The luxurious ship sailed and the Consort said, “A decision has been made. Notify Mister Wuji and have him spread this news, make sure that the Heaven Court knows about this. Even if we can’t kill him, it’s best that we can stir chaos around them. Our mission is to spread chaos around the Zi Wei Galaxy. Now that the Imperial Star is in a mess, we must fuel the flames of war and disrupt the peace and orders here!”
“After we’re done with this galaxy, we, the harbingers of war and chaos, will set our eyes on the lower worlds.”
With a peaceful expression, Bi Xie added, “The ancient universe will be lit up by us as well!”
In the other ship, Zhong Yue tapped his finger onto the table in front of him as he was figuring something out.
Mu Suge was confused and all he heard was Zhong Yue murmuring, “Bi Xie… Bi Xie….”
According to the notes left behind by Nong Sovereign, Bi Xie was the king of the Bi Xie Celestial Race, renowned for his warhorns. Nong Sovereign once fought him with the Xuan Yuan Sword but the fight was interrupted by King Zi Guang. King Zi Guang said he arrived there with the orders from Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and ordered Nong Sovereign not to harm Bi Xie. With that said, Bi Xie should be on Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s side.
And that was where another problem lay. If Bi Xie was on Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s side, that meant that Consort Tian Si was on his side too, which also means that she is serving him.
Wrong, wrong! Consort Tian Si wanted to kill Mu Qingxuan back then and she triggered the war between Xian Tian Palace and Zi Wei Heavenly Court…. Hmmm…. Mu Qingxuan is not dead and the fight Consort Tian Si has started involved only the Luli Clan, Zhongyang Clan, and Heaven Court. Xian Tian Palace suffered no losses and Consort Tian Si does not seem like she’s acting or pretending, which means that she doesn’t know that the master she’s serving is Mu Xiantian!
Suddenly, Zhong Yue recalled the other demon half of Mu Xiantian, the demon lord and a cold shivered down his spine right away.
If Mu Xiantian’s innate demon lord half possessed another identity…. Scary! Does that means that Feng Wuji is also Mu Xiantian’s servant? My identity might be exposed!
No no no. There is another possibility! Bi Xie is a spy that Mu Xiantian planted in his enemy’s rank! Mu Xiantian has already prepared himself long ago and this idea must have come from King Zi Guang!
Among the two possibilities, the second one was the most plausible one.
Zhong Yue calmed his mind down and if it was the second possibility, then Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had long planned to rebel and usurp the throne. With King Zi Guang aiding him, apart from Bi Xie, the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian definitely had other spies among the competitors’ inner circles!
What I’ve seen is just the tip of the iceberg. Xian Tian Palace’s power is beyond measurable and King Zi Guang is really impressive. If he is still alive, no one will be able to kill Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!
Zhong Yue maintained a calm mind and he continued changing rides as he detoured. On his way, he saw only war zones from one place to another as the many races were dragged into the chaos stirred by Consort Tian Si and Bi Xie.
With Consort Tian Si controlling the Karma and Bi Xie manipulating war, chaos has shrouded the Zi Wei Galaxy!
The world has finally plunged into chaos!
Mu Suge also had his eyes twitched as he looked at these war zones and suddenly, he stood up and looked towards the front in disbelief; debris lay before him and the pieces of the wrecked ships that appeared more than just familiar in his eyes told him only one cold, hard truth —his ride was destroyed.
Among the wreckage, his servant, the Creator controlling the ship floated in the middle with a hole opened up in his forehead and his blood sucked away by some sort of evil being!
