I am a boss in the world of nine uncles
Chapter 1886 The North Sea Banquet: Schemes from All Sides!
"Foolish? How dare you call me foolish?"
The Winged Lord flew into a rage, pulling Su Jin's body with one hand and gripping her white jade-like neck tightly with his palm.
Su Jin didn't struggle at all. Instead, she used all her strength to say, "What is this if not foolishness to not see such a golden opportunity right in front of you?"
"What great opportunity? I think it's just a trick you used to save your life," the Wing Lord mocked.
"The mighty Lord Yi, would you be afraid of my schemes?" Su Jin chuckled lightly.
The Winged Lord tossed it to the ground with a flick of his wrist and said coldly:
"There's no need for such a low-level provocation. Just say what you want to say. From the moment you entered the Great Purple Palace, I knew you couldn't cause any trouble."
Su Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "May I ask who Your Majesty's greatest concern is?"
Without hesitation, Lord Yi said, "Everyone knows that it is Mo Yuan of Kunlun Mountain; if it weren't for him, I would have conquered the Heavenly Realm seventy thousand years ago."
Su Jin said, "If that's the case, why didn't Your Majesty consider assassinating Mo Yuan?"
Yi Jun scoffed, "I thought you had some brilliant ideas. Mo Yuan is one of the top experts in the entire world. In a pure martial arts fight, even I wouldn't dare say I could defeat him. Who could assassinate him?"
Su Jin remained calm as she slowly rose to her feet: "Your Majesty, may I ask if you have ever heard of... the Zanpakuto?"
The Winged Lord's laughter paused slightly, and he murmured, "A legendary sacred artifact of the Merfolk? Does this thing truly exist?"
Su Jin nodded: "When I was in the sky, I overheard the conversation between the First Prince Yang Cuo and Consort Le Xu. The Merfolk have exhausted the strength of the entire clan to forge the Zanpakuto."
If Lord Yi can obtain this treasure, he can send someone to infiltrate Mo Yuan's side and kill him in one blow when he is unprepared.
Even if it fails, severely damaging them would still be a great benefit to the Winged Clan.
The Winged Lord suddenly looked suspicious: "Could this be your Celestial Clan's strategy of using one enemy to devour another? Seeing that the Merfolk are making moves, you're thinking of using my Winged Clan to suppress them?"
Su Jin shook her head: "I would never gamble with my own life, nor would the Heavenly Lord allow me to take such a risk."
The reason is simple: my Sujin clan rendered great service in the past, and I myself am Princess Zhaoren of the Celestial Clan!
Wing-lord pondered for a moment: "Very well, once I obtain the Zanpakuto, I will set you free!"
Su Jin sighed inwardly: "Freedom? It's nothing more than being thrown from the wolf's den into the fox's den; without the power to resist, one can only submit to whatever comes their way."
……
On this day, the Heavenly Palace was brightly decorated, and all the immortals and gods gathered together, waiting for the commencement of the investiture ceremony.
Inside the palace, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly turned to look at the Heavenly Eye General beside him and asked, "Has Mo Yuan arrived?"
The Heavenly Eye General's eyes shone with golden light as he scanned the celestial platform outside the hall, shaking his head and saying, "I have not seen any trace of the God Mo Yuan."
Heavenly Emperor: "..."
If they cannot get what they want today, it will be even more difficult for Ye Hua to get close to Bai Qian.
God help me, Mo Yuan must come, and he must bring Bai Qian with him!
As if the heavens had responded, Tianyan suddenly raised his hand and slapped his thigh, exclaiming with a joyful expression, "Here they come, Heavenly Lord, God Moyuan has arrived!"
The Heavenly Emperor secretly exhaled a breath of stale air: "Quickly inform the God of Fire and the God of Thunder that the investiture ceremony is about to begin..."
Immortal platform outside the palace.
Amidst endless compliments, Qin Yao led Chang'e slowly to the front row of the audience, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
In the blink of an eye, the God of Fire, clad in red armor, and the God of Thunder, clad in blue armor, descended from the sky, shouting in unison, "We respectfully invite Crown Prince Ye Hua to accept the test!"
After speaking, Ye Hua, with his long hair flowing, stepped through the air and stopped between the two gods: "Thank you for your trouble."
"We dare not," the two gods replied respectfully.
Ye Hua glanced at the assembled immortals and gods before him, then nodded emphatically to Mo Yuan and silently began to circulate his divine power: "Let's begin."
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The God of Fire struck first, unleashing four streams of wildfire with a flick of his sleeve.
Ye Hua neither dodged nor evaded, using his divine body to withstand the attack of the wildfire.
However, following the four streaks of wildfire came a bolt of lightning, causing him to let out a muffled groan.
“I can understand the tribulations that cultivators face when they ascend to become immortals and immortals when they ascend to become gods, but why must the Heavenly Clan, who obtained the Crown Prince's Seal, also suffer such a fate?” Chang'e asked Qin Yao telepathically as she watched Ye Hua endure the torment of lightning and fire.
Qin Yao responded secretly, "In order to demonstrate the strength of the successor to all branches of the Celestial Clan and to avoid a situation where the ruler is weak and the country is suspicious."
Chang'e seemed thoughtful, thinking to herself, "So, it turns out that the Celestial Clan isn't entirely harmonious either..."
half an hour.
Thirty-six wildfires and nine bolts of heavenly lightning fell intermittently, and Ye Hua's robes were already stained with blood.
Fortunately, the clothes were black, which prevented the sense of tragedy from being conveyed; instead, it only made the gods and immortals marvel at the opponent's power.
"Congratulations on passing the test. This is the Crown Prince's Seal. From now on, you may use this seal to establish your own government and military headquarters." The Heavenly Emperor approached with the seal in his hand and spoke with a smile.
Ye Hua raised his hand to accept the command seal and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Heavenly Lord."
"This is what you deserve." The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand and said gently, "Go and rest."
"Yes." Ye Hua straightened up and slowly withdrew from the stage.
After watching his figure disappear into the distance, the Heavenly Emperor turned to the assembled immortals and gods and said with a smile, "The banquet is ready. Please follow me."
The gods and immortals had no objection to this, and followed behind the other party, slowly walking towards the banquet hall.
Just as the group passed by a celestial palace, a streak of light suddenly flew out from the palace and hovered above their heads.
"It's the Azure Nether Sword!" a celestial being suddenly exclaimed.
"The Azure Sword? How did it come out on its own? Is it perhaps choosing a master?" someone speculated.
The Heavenly Lord proclaimed, “Divine artifacts possess spirits and choose their masters. If any immortal can subdue this sword, I will bestow this divine artifact upon them.”
As soon as he finished speaking, some immortals and gods couldn't contain themselves and flew up, rushing towards the Azure Sword one after another, reaching out to grab the hilt.
But the divine sword moved like a flowing wind or a swimming fish, weaving through everyone's hands. Even when someone cast a spell to try to fix it in the air, it was to no avail.
Finally, the divine sword broke through numerous obstacles and precisely locked onto Chang'e, who was standing next to Qin Yao, hovering quietly in front of her.
"Me?" Chang'e asked in surprise.
The Azure Sword suddenly changed direction, its hilt pointing towards the opponent, its meaning quite clear.
Beside him, Qin Yao narrowed his eyes slightly.
In his memory, the Azure Nether Sword seemed to be Ye Hua's sword, right? It was also the Celestial Clan's top-tier divine weapon, its power no less than Qing Cang's Fangtian Halberd.
Now that the Green Destiny Sword has chosen Bai Qian instead of Ye Hua, something seems wrong no matter how you look at it...
"It seems that the Azure Nether Sword has chosen Lord Siyin as its master." Not far away, the Heavenly Lord smiled slightly: "Siyin, if that's the case, then you should accept this divine sword."
Chang'e blinked and subconsciously looked at Qin Yao.
Qin Yao nodded: "I dare not refuse such a gift from an elder. Please accept it." Although he did not know what scheme was hidden in this, he was even more aware that he could not refute the Heavenly Lord in front of all the immortals and gods.
As for the truth... he will find out sooner or later, given that he has already noticed something amiss.
"Thank you, Heavenly Lord." After receiving Qin Yao's permission, Chang'e raised her right hand and silently put away the Qingming Sword.
"No need to thank me, this is your good fortune."
The Heavenly Lord chuckled, turned around and said, "Let's go. Just for this one matter, Lord Siyin will have to have a good drink later..."
half an hour.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, all the immortals and gods were thoroughly enjoying themselves. The Heavenly Emperor then announced the official end of the ceremony. The immortals and gods, their steps unsteady as if walking on cotton, walked out of the banquet hall one after another.
Qin Yao and Chang'e were also among them, but both of them looked perfectly normal, showing no signs of drunkenness. After riding the clouds straight to the mortal realm, they slowly descended onto a barren land...
"Is this Green Destiny Sword a personal destiny for Bai Qian?"
Standing still, Chang'e turned and glanced back in the direction of the Heavenly Palace, then suddenly asked in a telepathic message.
Qin Yao shook his head: "No."
Chang'e's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that there's some other scheme behind this?"
Qin Yao smiled and replied inwardly, "As long as you are still by my side, no matter how many schemes he has, it is nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing the mountain."
Chang'e felt at ease and smiled, "That's true. There's no safer place in the entire world than by your side..."
Heaven and earth are at peace.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, several decades have passed.
On this day, Diefeng suddenly contacted Qin Yao again, informing him that Shaoxin had given birth to a child and that he had invited the God of Moyuan and the God of Siyin to a banquet.
Qin Yao felt indebted to Shao Xin and Sang Ji, so he brought Chang'e with him to the North Sea.
Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at the shallows, they saw a group of water monsters forcibly dragging a beautiful young girl into the sea, just like a scene of abducting a woman.
Chang'e, being kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see this scene, so before Qin Yao could react, she took out the Kunlun Jade Purity Fan and forcibly drove away the group of water demons.
The beautiful young woman turned her head and saw their figures. She quickly rushed over, knelt down and kowtowed: "Ninglu thanks you two benefactors."
Chang'e took the Jade Purity Fan back and waved her hand, saying, "You should leave now. Don't come to the seaside again, lest you encounter any more sea monsters or monsters."
Upon hearing this, Ninglu's face immediately showed a sorrowful expression: "I have no home anymore."
Chang'e frowned slightly: "But that water demon killed your whole family?"
Ninglu quickly waved her hand: "No, that's not it... My grandmother, who was my only companion, passed away recently. I came to the seaside to clear my mind."
Chang'e's expression softened considerably, and she pressed for an answer: "So, what will you do in the future?"
Ninglu pursed her lips, then suddenly kowtowed repeatedly: "Please take me in, sister. I am willing to be your servant and take care of you."
As soon as she said these words, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus within Qin Yao's Divine Kingdom suddenly issued a warning, spewing out streaks of red light, but failing to reveal any image.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and carefully examine Ninglu, but he did not sense any familiar aura.
Chang'e hesitated and said, "I can take care of myself and don't need a maid to serve me."
Ninglu said pitifully, "Fairy Sister, the Great Wilderness is full of dangers. If I, a girl, am not protected, I am afraid I will not survive for more than a few days. I beg you, Fairy Sister, to have mercy and give me a chance to live."
Chang'e turned to Qin Yao and asked softly, "How about we take her with us first, and then send her back to Kunlun Mountain after the banquet?"
Qin Yao smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide..."
Not long after.
The three arrived at the Water Lord's residence together, only to find that there weren't many guests. Sang Ji and Shao Xin quickly noticed them and came forward to greet them, saying in unison:
"Greetings, God Mo Yuan."
Qin Yao waved his hand, then took out a piece of tri-colored spirit jade and handed it to Shao Xin: "For the child."
Shao Xin quickly raised his hands and respectfully said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sang Ji hurriedly said, "High God, let me lead you to your seats."
"Okay," Qin Yao agreed with a smile.
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group entered a grand hall side by side. Sang Ji arranged for the three of them to sit closest to the head of the table, and then loudly announced the start of the banquet.
Qin Yao glanced at Ninglu, who was sitting very stiffly, and then thought of the Qingming Sword that had automatically recognized its master. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Perhaps I should get drunk today, otherwise the hidden dangers around me might not even dare to show their faces.
Thinking of this, he kept toasting with Sang Ji, which made Sang Ji very puzzled: "This God Mo Yuan is in a very good mood today, unlike his usual cold and aloof self."
Halfway through the banquet, Qin Yao, whose face was already flushed from the clinking of glasses, suddenly covered his head and said:
"I drank the wine too quickly, and my head is a little dizzy. May I borrow one of the Second Prince's palaces to rest for a while?"
“Of course.” Sang Ji immediately ordered, “Someone, escort God Mo Yuan to Yuhua Palace.”
A girl in purple immediately strode over and said softly, "God Mo Yuan, please come with me."
Chang'e naturally took Qin Yao's left arm, and after a moment of contemplation, she took his right arm. The two of them helped each other out of the banquet hall and followed the girl in purple into the palace.
More than an hour later.
Inside the palace, Ninglu sat on a wooden chair, looking at Chang'e who was guarding Mo Yuan. Suddenly, she stood up and said, "Sister, I need to use the restroom. Can you take me there?"
Chang'e was stunned for a moment before realizing that Ninglu was still a mortal and it was perfectly normal for her to have to relieve herself: "Wait a moment, I will cast a spell to set up a seal to prevent anyone from plotting against me."
Ninglu nodded repeatedly, watching as she emitted a divine light that enveloped the entire bed, silently assessing her strength.
She wasn't sure if Mo Yuan was truly drunk or faking it, but Si Yin was definitely a bargaining chip.
If he could capture the other party first, even if Mo Yuan was faking his drunkenness, he wouldn't have to worry about his life being in danger...
A short while later.
After asking many questions, the two women arrived at a clean room. Chang'e waved her hand and said, "You may go now. I will wait for you here."
"Thank you, sister." Ninglu said gratefully, and then strode into the room.
After a while, they went outside to clean the room.
Chang'e waited and waited, but Ninglu did not appear. Subconsciously, she called out softly, "Ninglu, are you alright?"
The room was silent, yet it made Chang'e's heart sink deeper and deeper.
After a moment of silence, she summoned the Jade Purity Kunlun Fan with a flick of her wrist and slowly stepped into the room.
However, the moment she entered, array lights suddenly flashed on the ground, and a pressure appeared out of nowhere, forcibly pressing down on her shoulders.
At the same time, hidden within his sleeve, Ye Hua's spirits lifted as he realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived... (End of Chapter)
