Chapter 11, a change of pace, will be delivered on this happy day...
11
All around was silent. The three forces of Tianyan Kingdom, Qiaochi Kingdom, and Yuxu Sect all focused their attention on Dongfang Yaotian.
Princess Yunfei of Qiaochi Kingdom looked on with admiration, her eyes filled with respect for the other party's indomitable spirit despite his disability.
In fact, when she heard that domineering and powerful voice and felt the aura of the Heavenly Wind Spirit Bone on that person, she felt a strong, almost divinely ordained, tremor in her heart for a moment.
But that initial excitement was amplified upon seeing the other person's proportions. One shouldn't see such stunningly small people too early in life.
The clever move ended there, telling the system, "I understand applause."
system:"."
The system clicked and clicked, adding points with astonishing speed.
As a result, the spiritual bones within the Miaojue Inner Palace stretched out very comfortably. All the rich wood spiritual essence absorbed from the dark giant forest turned into spring rain and sprinkled on the spiritual field. It was all absorbed into her spiritual bone meridians, and she could clearly feel that her bone structure had undergone some transformation.
The power to rewind ten years in that instant also came to an end, and the male protagonist's eight-year-old legs silently dissipated into the air, a fleeting glimpse that vanished like a flash in the pan.
Dongfang Yaotian was completely baffled.
When he landed, he vaguely felt that something was wrong; he felt as if his body had become heavier.
This was a very strange sensation. He possessed a Heavenly-level Wind Spirit Bone, the embodiment of the most free and unrestrained among the five elements. Yet, he inexplicably felt that his legs could not support his body, as if he were about to fall to the side.
But that was only for a moment. When Dongfang Yaotian lowered his head, everything had returned to normal.
Now that Qiaochi Kingdom's friendly neighbors had arrived, Dongfang Yaotian naturally wouldn't let others see his loss of composure. He remained the extraordinary and proud son of heaven, giving a wicked smile as he looked around.
"What's wrong? Why are you all staring at me like that—"
Although he was used to the gaze of others, today he had to stop exuding his charm and his immediate priority was to kill the two Netherworld Clan members.
Ye Caifeng snapped out of her daze, gasped, and rushed over, her voice trembling, "Brother Yaotian, are you alright? You scared me to death, boohoo..."
Dongfang Yaotian naturally wanted to demonstrate national unity in front of foreign powers. He caught the panicked Ye Caifeng and said with a calm smile, "Of course I'm fine, don't worry."
Yun Fei understood what was going on with this gesture and the overly intimate body language.
It turns out that the young prince of the Dongfang family already has a woman by his side.
Miao Jue glanced at the spineless female lead beside him.
Gong Yuqiu stared intently at the way Dongfang Yaotian and Ye Caifeng were cuddling together; her face was pale and her fists were trembling.
Even on such a formal occasion as meeting a neighboring friendly nation, he, as her Daoist partner, still did not introduce himself to them.
The Jade Void Sect disciples behind him had various expressions.
Gong Yuqiu was heartbroken. Had Dongfang Yaotian not thought about how she would explain herself in the Jade Void Sect?
For him, she defied sect rules and secretly pledged her love to him. She willingly endured the disciplinary whip for him. Yet, Dongfang Yaotian never revealed her to anyone; she was like… she was like a joke…
The white-robed man, who had been silent all along, swept his long eyes around the room, then suddenly gave Princess Qiaochi a gentle smile: "Young Prince Dongfang... indeed has someone he loves."
The secret is that you can tell what kind of evil tricks the villain is plotting at a glance.
Given the male protagonist's idiotic mind, he has no option to publicly acknowledge his Daoist partner or distance himself from other women. At this point, he would definitely declare with great bravado, "What is the point of romantic love? Exterminating the Underworld Clan and protecting the common people is the most urgent task," completely shattering the female protagonist's last hope.
To everyone's surprise, Yunfei naturally turned her gaze to Chen Jinshi after hearing this.
The massacre of the underworld is a momentous matter. These two small countries are at the eye of the storm, and whether it will bring them fortune or misfortune remains to be seen. At this time, they must form a marriage alliance to consolidate their position.
If Dongfang Yaotian is impotent… In fact, after what just happened, Yunfei was indeed a little worried that he might have a hidden ailment in his lower body. No matter how handsome or talented he was, she couldn't help but have some doubts.
The person before them was a better choice. In recent years, the spiritual energy of Tianyan Kingdom had increased greatly, and the weather had been favorable, all thanks to this Immortal Bone Dao Lord. Moreover, his appearance was as bright and elegant as the moon, tall and slender, with features that became more and more outstanding the more one looked at them.
"Does Daoist Chen have any plans to arrange a marriage?"
The charming smile on Chen Jinshi's face vanished instantly, and she even took two steps back with her shoes on, decisively declaring, "I have a spouse."
It just hasn't been found yet.
Miao Jue's eyebrows twitched in surprise. Really? How come she didn't know? How could he, so wicked now, like someone else? He's more likely to be the one messing with others.
Even when he was a child, that boy from the mountains always had a sour face, was depressed and fierce, and only liked to be the older brother of others.
Yunfei shook her head regretfully after hearing this.
Ye Ning had been watching intently ever since the princess of Qiaochi Kingdom asked the question, never expecting that Daojun would give such an answer.
He never gets close to women, like a spotless, bright moon, yet he's already married? Who is it? Who could be worthy of such a noble and upright man?
Ye Ning clenched her hands tightly, unable to vent the bitterness in her heart. Her gaze met Miao Jue's bewildered expression, and she glared at her fiercely.
Miaojue looked surprised: What does this have to do with me?
Ye Ning angrily turned his head and led the Ye family cultivators to discuss the change of the formation with Dongfang Yaotian. If the prince and Gong Yuqiu hadn't argued about who would protect Dongfang Qian, the prince wouldn't have suddenly had an accident, and Princess Yunfei wouldn't have turned her interest to Chen Daojun.
Nothing good ever comes from getting involved with that good-for-nothing Dongfang Qian!
"It's appeared! The Netherbone Blade has pointed to a new location!" Dongfang Yaotian suddenly drew his blade.
A flash of mysterious light led towards the south of the mountain. Dongfang Yaotian's expression hardened, and he became serious.
Miao Jue sighed inwardly. Ever since she learned the villain's secret, she now suspected that even the Nether Bone Blade could be controlled by Chen Jinshi.
She quietly observed the three forces before her, and the situation became increasingly clear.
The cultivators from Tianyan and Qiaochi, led by the male protagonist, had limited information. The cultivators they brought were all identical—earth-type experts whom they initially thought could defeat the Yingyu. They formed the righteous faction fighting alongside the male protagonist in the main storyline.
The disciples of the Jade Void Sect, led by Mei Zichen, are of a much more complex background.
Aside from the female protagonist being of the water element, they had actually dispatched high-level cultivators of both water and fire elements, exactly the same as the two Netherworld race members they were going to kill today. Their spiritual bone aptitude was extremely high, with several of them even stuck below the Heavenly level.
Why?
Miaojue seemed to hear the man's soft laughter in his ear. He said, "It tastes good, and it works very well."
A thought struck her again, and she suddenly became clear-headed. The Ten Beasts of the Underworld were also distinguished by the Five Elements, just like human cultivators.
so……
A hint of shock appeared in the eyes of the girl in the green robe. She looked at the two groups of people who were vaguely distinguishable in front of her, as well as the experts from all directions who might still be lurking. She finally saw clearly the cruel, unspoken law of the jungle.
The chosen one who seeks justice and slaughters the underworld believes that killing the underworld race is due to the conflicting elements of the Five Elements.
Who knew everyone else was like this...
They're all from the same department, fighting amongst themselves.
"Everyone, listen to my command! Don't panic, I will protect every one of you—" The protagonist's proud and righteous voice pierced through the mountain wind.
The clever trick was to look back against the flow of people.
The dust settled, and a smile, both warm and cold, appeared on her face as she smoothed her sleeve.
…
He traversed alone among the ancient mountains, but upon closer inspection, he wasn't actually walking. Beneath his spotless clogs, crimson ash swirled like a tide, propelling him forward.
Where he walked, drops of blood fell from the fingertip bearing the red birthmark, seeping into the soil, where they were instantly and frantically seized by something buried beneath.
Dongfang Yaotian led his men to the south of the mountain, and the faint sounds of fighting and killing drifted in vain.
The birdsong in the surrounding forest seemed to have all stopped, leaving a complete silence.
That doesn't mean there are no living things left, but rather—
It was as if, in this mountain area, countless people were holding their breath at the same time.
With a slight smile, she picked up the dust.
A head of the Netherworld Snake Fish slithered out from the sleeve, "We just killed so many in the Giant Forest, how come there are still so many? Just how many people have they controlled all these years..."
"It doesn't matter," Chen Jinshi said cheerfully.
He found a smooth rock and sat down. The instant he lowered his head, a group of powerful offensive experts using all elements of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning launched a surprise attack.
It was as if a rain had fallen on that person's white robes.
Countless greedy eyes rushed headlong into that priceless flesh and blood.
The Netherworld Clan has been exterminated for a century, and those who roam the lands are all crippled remains, barely clinging to life. The bone in the Netherworld Bone Blade of the Tianyan Kingdom is not from the Fourth Crimson Tiger. The major clans have secretly consulted countless ancient documents and are almost certain that the Netherworld bone came from the Tenth Netherworld Clan.
The rarest, the most difficult to find in a century, the tenth person.
The Netherworld Clan, whose bones have been removed, find it difficult to maintain their true form as ferocious beasts that reach the heavens and the earth. Their attack power after transforming into human form can only be maintained at one-third of its original strength, which is why they dare to come and intercept them.
But when the man in white raised his head, he smiled warmly, his face as gentle as a Buddha in spring, and blinked.
Countless people turned to ashes on the spot.
The few remaining people, half-burnt, watched in terror as death swept over them, when a warm, smiling voice came from above: "Let me see what you've been eating."
Where did you hide the remains of the Underworld Clan?
Moments later, the scene was covered in dust.
The swelled fish grew several meters in size, slithering and coiling on the ground, muttering and counting: Bu Er is in Langhuan, Cang San is in a noble family, Yang Wu is unknown, Gui Liu is here, Ling Qi is running around on the other side of the mountain, □□ is unknown, Shi…
The dust settled in his hands.
He casually pressed his bleeding arm and looked down at a piece of Langhuan jade seal in his palm.
This was obtained from a Langhuan immortal—a truly unexpected delight. He merely spread some news, and even the people of Langhuan couldn't sit still and wanted to kill him.
Before the immortal envoy turned to ashes, Chen Jin used his bones and blood to open the jade seal's restriction.
The Langhuan Jade Seal is similar to a communication jade, and only immortals within the ten rings of Langhuan can possess it. It contains extremely profound secrets of the world.
For example, the first hidden text above indicates that one person from each of the Dongfang and Gongyu families will undergo a tribulation in Tianyan Kingdom, and after the tribulation of love ends, they will be reborn as the chosen ones.
One yin and one yang, twin destiny beads, when combined, can fulfill all wishes in the world.
The dust settles, revealing nothing new. I erase this jade breath, and continue down to the lowest point, to the newest item.
"—Half a month ago, the giant bell of Zero Ring suddenly rang out and spun back ten times. The immortals had not yet made a decision, but the True Ancestor said..."
— "It is suspected that someone has activated a time-reversal magic array, reversing the passage of time."
"This moment is the past, and the past has already happened..."
As the dust settled, a faint, startling light flashed beneath his long gaze.
Half a month ago was the day the chosen ones pledged their love, and the wooden platform collapsed. It was from that day that he began to feel a strange flow, and strange things began to happen one after another.
Chen Jinshi suddenly thought of the unusually reversed compass on the White Stone Altar that day, and the handwriting written from afar.
It was his own handwriting, conveying a message to him from afar.
Chen Jin tried many methods but couldn't recreate the handwriting from that day, because he didn't know where that distant place where he was was.
And now, he knows.
That is the future.
Chen Jinshi squinted his eyes and smiled with increasing satisfaction.
Presumably, it was his future self who activated the time-traveling evil array, wanting to return to this moment.
So once he receives all the information about what will happen next, how far away will it be for what he wants and the person he is looking for?
Chen Jinshi happily burned the jade seal in his hand to ashes.
Then, turning his head to look behind a tree, he asked in a cheerful tone, "Have you seen enough? Wasn't it fun?"
The trick is to lean against a tree and cover your forehead.
She arrived first, can you say so?
Far from the main battlefield, she had barely arrived when the villains arrived in a cloud of ashes and began their massacre. Fearing that she would be turned to ashes if she ran, she simply stopped behind a tree.
I'm not too scared, after all, even the biggest villains can't resist the power of time travel.
Miao Jue had just closed her eyes to regulate her breathing to avoid being disturbed, and saw that her spiritual bones had already reached the fifth level of the human realm. This speed was actually quite astonishing, meaning that she was only halfway to reach the earth realm level and become a gifted individual on this continent.
So she didn't see what Chen Jinshi was holding, and she didn't hear his spiritual communication with the Yingyu—even if she were to listen, she wouldn't.
The more she knows about this childhood friend, the more dangerous it becomes.
"You'll have to pay for your tea after you've had your fill of looking."
A cold wind carrying a faint scent of blood brushed past Miaojue's ears and neck. He appeared before her in the blink of an eye, like a will-o'-the-wisp, leaning close and smiling as if whispering in her ear.
Miao Jue was surprised: "I haven't even reported you to anyone, and you still want money?"
“Oh,” Chen Jinshi nodded, “Then why didn’t you report me to your brother Yaotian?”
Brother, with your earth-shattering power, I'm afraid that if Miaojue were to open her mouth and accuse me, her mouth would turn to ashes.
The brilliant idea: "Anyway, if you're going to take from the Underworld Clan, you'll inevitably end up fighting them. I just don't quite understand."
Dust settled, and following the sound, asked, her long eyelashes drooping, "What?"
"Can you really eat this?"
Miaojue's expression was full of disapproval. "You're going to kill all these people and keep them all for yourself? Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
The dust has settled, and all is still.
Those dark pupils stared at her expressionlessly.
His expression turned strange again.
Miao Jue sighed: "You're already strong enough, and the Underworld Clan hasn't bothered you."
Suddenly, the snails lying on the ground in the distance raised their heads, their two small fins flapping like wings, as if they were very excited.
Under normal light, the fish's eyes didn't appear fierce at all; in fact, they looked rather dull. Its dark blue scales had mostly fallen off, making it look extremely pitiful.
Miaojue, like a tree that had been cut down for ten years, was just as dilapidated as before. She had a strange feeling in her heart, so even though she would have to go back in time after speaking, Miaojue couldn't help but speak.
She raised her almond-shaped eyes to look at the man before her, who was completely different from the boy she once was: "You've abused it to this extent, you... no, you have no humanity left?"
He must have abused her; he ate her while manipulating her.
The yuguiliu paused for a moment, its fins slightly hesitant.
His dark, round fish eyes looked at the suddenly interesting expression on Chen Jinshi's face. He was trembling violently and twisting himself to the ground with a shameful expression, looking like he was really on the verge of death.
Dust gathers up: "..."
He gathered up the dust and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze lingered on the girl in the green dress. Her face was fair, her hair soft, her almond-shaped eyes bright and clear, and she possessed a vibrant, lush life force.
The feeling in my heart after the dust settled was strange.
Dongfang Qian is really strange.
She became completely unlike herself.
Why? Why?
Dust settled, and her fingertips, hanging by her side, caressed the red marks. Then she suddenly smiled gently.
—Then let's send her off on this happy day.
With a flick of his finger, a sudden burst of mysterious light appeared on the south side of the mountain.
The wind-elemental divine horse, guided by the Netherbone Blade, let out a loud neigh and suddenly charged towards them. Within moments, the cultivators from both countries, led by Dongfang Yaotian, and the disciples of the Jade Void Sect all teleported to this location.
The massive talisman array, jointly constructed by the Ye family, Yu Xu, and Qiao Chi, descended, while Chen Jinshi smiled and left a patch of ashes at the array's core.
The secret: "??"
The villain's actions came without warning, prompting a frantic system alert: "Important heart-wrenching moment approaching—"
Gong Yuqiu was the first to spot the aquatic Yingyu from afar and immediately flew over. But in the blink of an eye, the Yingyu vanished without a trace, leaving only a single, dark blue scale behind.
She didn't even have time to see Chen Jin pick up half a piece of clothing; she only saw Miao Jue's figure.
"Wait! Don't go into the formation, it's dangerous—" Miao Jue shouted immediately after realizing what was happening.
But the desperate Mother Mary disregarded her own safety and stepped directly in, asking her with a holy aura, "I'm fine, are you alright?"
The secret: "..."
The array of talismans closed in above their heads, trapping the two of them underneath.
The next second, Dongfang Yaotian's heart-wrenching screams echoed through the valley:
"Qiu'er! Qianqian! No—"
This is a deadly formation jointly set up by the three parties to trap and slaughter the Netherworld Clan. The spiritual energy within the formation is cut off, and it will close once prey is caught. Only a dead object can unlock it. It is a desperate and poisonous formation!
"Between your Daoist partner and your sister, who will live and who will die?!"
The secret: "………………"
Chen Jinshi emerged from behind the crowd with a deep gaze, staring intently at Miaojue, like some kind of innocent animal.
The secret is to look up at the sky.
I should have killed him when I was a child.
