Chapter 519: Chapter 519 He’s Brother Exploded_1
The stars twinkled.
After Ruan Tang fell asleep, Xu Lai stepped out of the Gilded Palanquin to face his senior sister, who greeted him with a smile that was more mocking than cheerful.
"I know where Father has two jars of medicinal wine hidden. After one hundred thousand years, their effects should be incredible by now."
Xu Lai pretended not to understand. "Senior Sister, we should go to the Mass Burial Mound."
Yu Guiwan asked, sounding somewhat disinterested, "Do you have a plan?"
"Investigate the origin of the heartbeat, find the reason our Divine Sense is being shielded, and locate the seventh key," he replied solemnly. "The key might be related to the Nine Kings’ Palace, and also to that old man in the Netherworld."
Xu Lai always had a feeling that Jing Ke’s search for the key wasn’t for a purpose as simple as entering the Nine Kings’ Palace.
"Hm. I can’t help you with other matters, but the Mass Burial Mound... I was there for nearly a hundred thousand years. I’m quite familiar with it," Yu Guiwan said, gracefully tucking back a loose strand of hair. "I’ll help you resolve this great worry of yours before I leave."
Xu Lai stowed the Gilded Palanquin in his sleeve before calmly stating, "Even if I had to destroy my Dao Fruit, I could never let you die in front of me, Senior Sister."
His voice was very light, yet it landed with the weight of a thousand mountains.
One hundred thousand years ago, Xu Lai’s boundary was low, and he only survived by a stroke of luck when his senior sister, clad in a white wedding dress, pushed him from a cliff.
Now, however, he was Xu Lai, the Human Emperor and The Supreme Emperor of the Heavenly Court.
No one could harm his senior sister anymore. Even if the cycle of heaven and earth itself came to claim Yu Guiwan, he, Xu Lai, would not allow it.
She’s developed a tolerance to elixirs and Spirit Plants? No matter. If one elixir isn’t enough, I’ll use a hundred. If a hundred aren’t enough, then I’ll use a thousand, or ten thousand!
Therefore, while flying toward the Mass Burial Mound, Xu Lai had already sent a message via his Divine Sense to the Tenth Divine General, the Pill Emperor, who was in charge of the Heavenly Court’s treasury. He instructed him to retrieve all the Longevity Spirit Plants and elixirs from the treasury and send them over.
***
Standing within a hundred-mile radius of the Mass Burial Mound, one would feel nothing unusual. If one were to fly into the sky, however, they would see that the vast area was shrouded in a very faint mist. As soon as you stepped inside, your Divine Sense would be blocked, rendered completely useless.
Xu Lai headed to the eastern side of the Mass Burial Mound.
The Second Divine General, Baize, was stationed there with one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers. Also present was Huang Fu, who commanded ten thousand soldiers of the Qingfeng Camp.
The Second Divine General Baize, dressed in a black and white gown, had a countenance that, while not as stunningly gorgeous as Yu Guiwan’s, was still of superior grace.
"The Supreme Emperor," Baize greeted, her voice soft and delicate, like a lady who had stepped out of a painting. To use a term from Earth, she resembled a gentle woman from the watery regions of Jiangnan.
Of course, that was just her appearance. The Second Divine General’s boundary was the genuine Quasi-Emperor Realm; she was a Saint of the Game of Go Path and a master of the Array Path. In the Heavenly Court, besides Xu Lai, only Divine General Taotie could match her in combat. However, the Second Divine General was a true homebody, spending her days in her cave dwelling studying Go and formations. If Xu Lai had not summoned her, ordinary people would never even catch a glimpse of her.
In response to Baize’s greeting, Xu Lai nodded and handed her a Jade Slip containing all the intelligence regarding this place, along with his analysis. As the intelligence strategist of the Heavenly Court, Baize had made many major decisions for Xu Lai over the years.
Baize’s brows furrowed slightly.
Xu Lai asked gravely, "What have you discovered?"
The Second Divine General suddenly asked, "Huang Fu mentioned that you got married yesterday. The Heavenly Court now has a Lady and a Princess, so why not announce it to the Immortal Domain and hold a celebration across the Universe?"
Standing a few steps away, Huang Fu’s body stiffened.
When did I say that? She obviously figured it out herself!
In this world, nothing could escape the perceptive eyes of Divine General Baize.
"My wife doesn’t like that sort of thing," Xu Lai answered.
"She doesn’t like it?" Baize was stunned.
Is there really a woman who could refuse to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Court, revered by all races, and reject that honor? Even I, who am indifferent to most things and prefer a quiet life, cannot escape the cage of fame and fortune.
"Indeed, she doesn’t," Xu Lai chuckled. "Otherwise, I would have definitely held a grand event to make those Tao Lineages, Holy Lands, and the supreme Celestial Clan bleed heavily."
Baize nodded in wholehearted agreement. Those powers did indeed need to be bled. Her gaze then shifted to Yu Guiwan with a peculiar look.
Her senior sister waved her hand lightly. "I am not the Lady of the Heavenly Court."
"I know. You are The Supreme Emperor’s senior sister," Baize said.
Yu Guiwan looked at Xu Lai, who just shook his head. "I didn’t say anything."
Xu Lai wasn’t surprised that the Second Divine General had recognized his senior sister’s identity.
Baize turned her attention back to the Jade Slip. After a moment of deduction, she said, "Regarding Jing Ke, there are nine keys in total. One on Earth, one at the Mass Burial Mound. As for this place... not only is Divine Sense blocked, but it’s also impossible to perform any deductions. I fear an Emperor Artifact might be present."
Baize narrowed her eyes. "Of course, it could also be a living expert on par with the Emperor Realm."
"You and Taotie, come with me," Xu Lai commanded. He then frowned. "Where is Taotie?"
"He’s already gone in," Baize said. "I tried my best, but I couldn’t stop that fool. He claimed he was going to eliminate all obstacles for the Heavenly Court."
Xu Lai felt helpless.
After all these tens of thousands of years, how can Taotie still be so impatient?
Just as Yu Guiwan was about to speak, she suddenly sensed something and looked behind her, her brow furrowed. In the distance, a group of people was flying toward them through the night sky. There were both old and young among them, but their clothes were all embroidered with a blood-red fang that was quite startling to behold.
"Who goes there, skulking about? State your names!" the leader, a young man with an arrogant expression, demanded. As his gaze swept over Yu Guiwan and Baize, a look of dazzled amazement flashed in his eyes. Ultimately, his gaze settled on Yu Guiwan.
The young man smiled. "I am Baili Wushang, a disciple of Tianmo Palace. May I ask what you fellow cultivators are doing here?"
"Tianmo Palace? Never heard of it." Baize’s expression grew indifferent. "Scram."
"..."
Baili Wushang was incredulous.
Are there really cultivators in the Eastern Desolate Domain who don’t know of Tianmo Palace? And who don’t know me? I’m the younger brother of Tianmo Palace’s Saint Heir, Baili Chongtai—a prominent figure in the Eastern Desolate Domain!
"How dare you!" one of the cultivators behind Baili Wushang bellowed, his eyes flashing. "Do you have a death wish, speaking so insolently to Young Master Baili?"
"Baili?" Huang Fu suddenly had a realization. "Don’t tell me you’re Baili Chongtai’s..."
"That’s right. Chongtai is my elder brother," Baili Wushang declared proudly. His brother was a heaven-sent genius, ranking among the very top of the younger generation in the entire Eastern Immortal Domain. If it weren’t for the current Emperor Qingfeng, his brother, Baili Chongtai, would have had the strength to contend with the prodigies of the Four Immortal Domains for the Great Emperor’s Dao Fruit.
Huang Fu’s expression grew strange. Two nights ago, Xu Lai had given him an Imperial Decree to return to the Immortal Domain and instruct the four Divine Generals to each lead one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers to guard the vicinity of the Mass Burial Mound. While commanding his ten thousand soldiers from the Qingfeng Camp, he had incidentally wiped out Baili Chongtai and his entourage, who had been hiding furtively not far from the Old Heavenly Court’s Sect Gate. To be more precise, he used a consumable Heavenly Thunder Talisman, with power equivalent to a strike from an Immortal Venerable, to obliterate the Saint Heir’s palace, reducing it to rubble.
"What’s the matter?" Yu Guiwan asked in confusion, noticing Huang Fu’s peculiar expression.
Huang Fu explained, "His brother was blown up."
"..."
