Spirit Vessel

Chapter 1072: Wood Lord

“We’ll see if you can back up your words.” Heaven Director pointed his whisk in the air. The strands broke through the clouds and pierced the eagle. Its blood rained down as it bellowed in pain.

Just the shriek alone crushed numerous buildings. Weaker cultivators instantly fainted.

Long Aotian released a golden dragon from his finger and began fighting Heaven Director.

This was a top-level fight. Any ray coming down could kill a group of cultivators.

“Go, kill the traitorous dogs!” Certain guests suddenly attacked. They opened the gate to let more men enter. Many of them were at the grand paragon level.

“Ning Shidao, come meet your maker!”

Ning Shidao was Azure Lord’s real name.

A monk wearing a string with 108 beads unleashed a monstrous palm strike, killing several hundred guards in the blink of an eye. He then rushed into the main palace.

Ning Jialin sat on a golden carriage and watched the whole thing. He sneered and said: “Idiots, you’re breaking your own palaces. What a waste.”

“I’ll kill you first then your father!” The monk’s skin became golden as he rushed for Jialin.

“How disappointing, how can a monk have such an ill temper?” Jialin snorted.

A blue-robed man walked out from behind him and slowly made a palm. It had a suction force and easily caught the incoming punch.

“Dark Scripture, you’re Wood Lord!” The monk gritted his teeth.

“The Long’s royal destiny is over, why bother throwing your lives away?” The man smiled.

“My clan shall not fall… not like this, not like this!” The monk eventually bellowed.

The man shook his head and activated his power. Dark rays came out of his palm and turned the monk’s hand into dust. Next came the chest, head, legs, and everything else.

“My Lord, congratulations, I see that your scripture has reached the eighth level. I’m sure that your contribution will be rewarded with a rank up soon enough for your territory.” Ning Jialin smiled.

“Second Prince, I will need you to put in a good word for me. I shall now go lead an army to Sacred Territory to suppress the rebels, I will capture them all.” The man had a nefarious smile. He turned into a blue ray and left the palace.

“Looks like this is an attempt to bait all the elites from the Long, not just a simple coronation.” Feiyun commented while watching.

“Rise and fall, all the same. This is just part of life. The Long in Sacred Court has rotted long ago so there will be someone else to replace them. We can’t change it and shouldn’t try either.” Xuanyuan Yiyi said.

Feiyun shook his head, disagreeing with her view. In her mind, she wanted to be a cultivator away from the world. Her pursuit was the immortal dao, not anything else.

“Why do you keep following me, are you in love with me?” He decided to tease her.

“I am under the orders of the deity and must take you to Aquamoon. You should follow me now.” She calmly responded.

“Keep following me then.” He thought that there was something strange about this and flew out of the palace to follow Wood Lord.

Though he had expressed his neutrality about the leader of Sixth Central, he felt tempted to make Long Luofu the next ruler.

She was pregnant with his son - a divine fetus. Gestating it required an immense level of energy and resources. As the ruler of Sacred Court, she would gain enough for the fetus.

Therefore, deep inside, he actually wanted to help the Long instead of Azure Lord.

He activated his Swift Samsara to the limit and caught up to Wood Lord after several tens of thousands of miles.

The latter was heading for the army camp and suddenly smiled. He stopped and landed on a peak: “You’ve been following me all this time, your speed is something else.”

The moment he touched the ground, the peak seemed to become one with him.

“Whoosh!” Feiyun stopped and floated in the air. A cloud appeared beneath his feet.

He cupped his fist and lowered his head: “I am Feng Feiyun of Heaven Restoration, currently in charge of the banquet. Territory Lord, why did you leave in such a hurry?”

“Oh, Heaven Restoration.” Wood Lord was a bit surprised. This youth was less than a century old yet he caught up to him. Heaven Restoration certainly had many capable geniuses.

“Territory Lord, please answer the question or I will have to consider you a rebel.” Feiyun came up with an excuse to delay him.

Wood Lord posed with both hands behind his back and gazed arrogantly at the horizon. He sneered: “Brat, didn’t your lord tell you about my important mission? Scram now, wasting my time is punishable by death.”

Feiyun activated his power, ready to fight a territory lord.

“Enough!” Wood Lord saw cultivators flying toward Sacred Court. The Long seemed to have more elites coming so he became furious, raising his hand to slap Feiyun.

Feiyun used the Trigram Seal and all of his power for an attack.

Wood Lord only wanted to chase Feiyun away and didn’t go full-strength. However, once he noticed the power of the seal, he realized that this brat was rather strong. It was too late for him to add more power.

“Boom!” He was pushed ten miles back by the seal. Though it didn’t injure him, he found this humiliating. How could he let a junior push him back? He would become a joke if others were to find out.

On the other hand, Feiyun was disappointed because he thought that given his current cultivation, he should be able to injure this territory lord.

Alas, these lords were truly strong. Nonetheless, he immediately attacked again to maintain the momentum.

“A Nirvana brat dares to attack me? I can kill you with one finger.” Wood Lord was livid and shot out two rays to kill Feiyun.

One of them struck the Trigram Seal and sent it deep into the ground.

Meanwhile, Feiyun used Swift Samsara and channeled a strand of saint energy from his dantian. He waved his hand and sent out a slash, cutting off a few pieces of hair from Wood Lord.

“Saint energy?” Wood Lord became cautious after seeing this. The situation was strange and he felt that Feiyun was specifically here to stop him.

“Who are you?” He asked with a serious voice.

“Didn’t I tell you already? I suspect you of being a traitor.” Feiyun summoned the Trigram Seal back. It emitted a black-white glow to protect him.

“You are far from being enough.” Wood Lord could see how brilliant Feiyun was but still had confidence in his own power. In an actual fight, he should have no problem subduing Feiyun.

“Is that so?” Feiyun took out a strange black fruit. It had thorns all over and a metallic appearance.

Xuanyuan Yiyi was watching from above. She audibly gasped after seeing the fruit.

“Whoosh!” He threw it and the fruit flew with lightning speed.

Wood Lord couldn’t react before being smashed in the chest. He flew and hit a cliff; his internal organs shook violently.

“Uncle, how was that?” The fruit returned to his hand.

“That was good.” Feiyun praised.

“Boom!” The furious lord flew out of the rubble and pulled up the entire cliff, throwing it at Feiyun.

“Again.” Feiyun threw the fruit again.

It crushed the cliff and struck Wood Lord again - this time, to the face. His nose caved in and blood gushed out.
