Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 107 Hope for the Future is Vanishing

Wuzhan knelt on the ground and said, "I had no choice but to do this to save the people. Please forgive me, Great God!" Bixia also knelt on the ground.

"To gain the fertile soil, you disregard human life. How can you save the people?"

Bixia said: "The murderers who killed these people were not us, but the group of people who just stole the treasure box!"

"I have heard it all, but I didn't say it out loud!"

Wuzhan said: "Thank God for making it happen!"

"How did you know that I was sealed here?" Gun asked in a deep voice.

Bixia replied, "One thousand eight hundred years ago, Emperor Yu, in search of the whereabouts of our ancestors, searched everywhere before finally finding the seal here. However, because the seal was too mysterious, he could not unlock it. When he climbed Mount Tai, he told this to our ancestor, hoping that the ancestor could comprehend the mystery, unlock the seal, find the Xiran, and control the flood. However, after so many years, dozens of generations of leaders of our sect have come to comprehend it, but no one has unlocked it, so this secret has been passed down to this younger generation."

"Emperor Yu?...Who is he?" Gun asked in a panic.

"Emperor Yu is the son of our ancestor. He was born to Xiu Ji of Youshen clan and is revered as Emperor Yu by later generations." Bixia replied.

"Xiu Ji, she actually gave birth to a son for me. Tell me his story!"

Bixia spent a long time narrating to Gun the deeds passed down by Emperor Yu.

After hearing this, Gun said excitedly, "I didn't expect that he, a mortal, could make so many contributions. He is much better than his father!" He also thought that nearly two thousand years had passed, and things and people had changed. He felt desolate and lamented, "It's a pity that I haven't seen them!" After a long pause, he asked, "Do you know why I was sealed here?"

Bixia said: "I only know that it is because of Xirang, but I don't know the details. I would like to hear the details!"

"Yes, that's true!" Then he briefly recounted what happened a thousand years ago.

Gun originally lived in the Heavenly Palace and was a priest in the Heavenly Palace. Seeing the floods rampant in the lower world and the suffering of all living things, he felt pity and led various tribes to control the floods. However, the water was turbulent and the rivers were crisscrossed, so the built river embankments broke repeatedly. Gun knew that the Emperor of Heaven had the magical object Xiran, so he returned to the Heavenly Palace to borrow it, but the Emperor of Heaven refused. Gun sneaked into the treasury, stole it, and planned to return it after using it. However, he was discovered by Yan Rong, who informed the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven was furious and sent Yan Rong to the lower world to capture Gun.

Gun hid in the tribe's secret room to avoid being hunted down. Yan Rong found him and brought all 3,000 people of the tribe to the altar, threatening them that if they did not reveal Gun's hiding place, he would kill them one by one. In order to save the lives of the tribe's members, Gun walked out of the secret room and surrendered.

Yan Rong forced Gun to hand over Xirang. Gun and Yan Rong had a grudge against each other, and Yan Rong knew that Gun was cruel and ruthless. Even if he handed over Xirang, he would not let the people of Yuyuan go. Moreover, Xirang was the most effective divine object for controlling floods. If it was handed over, the lower world would never have the chance to get it again. Gun endured the pain and refused to hand it over. In a rage, Yan Rong killed more than 3,000 people in front of the altar, and sealed Gun's soul in the altar, and then sealed the entire Yuyuan.

After listening to Gun's narration, Bixia looked at the bones scattered all over the ground, feeling bewildered. She had never expected that the god she believed in would be so selfish. All her former admiration was gone.

Wuzhan heard Yan Rong's name again. It was him who harmed Senior Xingtian.

Wuzhan asked: "How can we rescue the ancestors?"

Gun sighed, "The world is cruel, even if I live forever, what's the point of living?" He paused and said, "I have no worries anymore, I'll leave the future to my descendants! Since Dayu believes in you, I will tell you where the Xirang is hidden, you get it as soon as possible and go to plug the breach."

Bixia thanked him and said, "I thank you on behalf of all the people in the world!"

Gun said: "Before hiding here, I thought that Yan Rong would find this place, so I hid the Xirang in advance. Have you ever seen a dragon-headed giant turtle?"

Upon hearing this, Bixia immediately replied, "Before I came here, I had fought with that monster, which caused me to be seriously injured."

"Have you ever seen words engraved on its shell?"

Bixia shook her head and said, "That monster was too ferocious. I was fighting him without paying attention!"

"The situation was urgent at that time. I encountered a giant turtle. I thought that if I hid the fertilizing soil inside it, they would never find it. The giant turtle sank to the bottom of the water for a hundred years and often blocked the river. The person who hunted it must be a virtuous person who managed floods. I put the fertilizing soil into the shell of the giant turtle and carved a text reminder on the shell. I didn't expect that after 1,800 years, no one found it. Could it be that the giant turtle has swam into the sea?"

Wuzhan asked: "May I ask, Senior, if we find Xirang, how should we use that magical object? I suspect that is it?"

"This is easy. Just drop some blood into the soil and it will be refined. Chant the spell and you can control it!" After saying that, he passed the four-line spell 'The divine soil emerges, the earth is born, the spiritual energy gathers, and all things flourish.' to the two.

"Haha!..." A burst of crazy laughter was heard, and a man flashed out from the sealed entrance. It was Huo Biao. I don't know what method he used to get rid of Han Xiaoting and come back. He heard their conversation.

"I was still worrying about what words I could make up to trick you into handing over the Xirang. I never expected that you would tell me the location of the Xirang without me having to waste my breath. Haha!" Huo Biao took off his mask, revealing his red beard and pointed jaw, and smiled triumphantly. "Huo Biao, why is it you!" Gun said in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Bixia was shocked and said, "If Gun knew him, it means he has lived for nearly two thousand years. Could he be a god in heaven? If so, then Xirang will soon fall into his hands!" The hope that had just been ignited was immediately shattered.

"When I can unlock the seal here and awaken your soul, you should think that it is me. Besides me, who else can unlock the seal here!" He walked steadily towards Gun's soul.

"You are such a bunch of unscrupulous beasts. As long as you are in Heaven, it will fall and be destroyed one day!" Gun said angrily.

"Haha, who told you to steal the sacred object for these ants in the lower world? This is your own fault. Our Saint King cannot be blamed!"

Gun said in a deep voice: "Didn't your Saint King once be an ant in this lower world? Three thousand years ago, the Heavenly Palace was also in this lower world. Don't think that you are no longer a human being just because you have ascended into the sky. You are worse than the dogs in this lower world."

Huo Biao laughed instead of getting angry: "Do you know where these people I just killed came from? Haha! They are the descendants of Dayu. They are the bloodline I have been searching for for a long time. Otherwise, how could I wake you up? Now you should understand!"

Gun said angrily: "Huo Biao, you will not die well!" The red flames immediately boiled, as if they were going to pounce on Huo Biao.

Bixia didn't expect Huo Biao to be so cruel. She regretted not killing him at that time. She glared at Huo Biao with anger.

"Thirty years ago, the Holy Lord ordered me to go down to the mortal world to look for Xirang. I searched for many years but couldn't find it. By chance, I discovered that Han Xiaoting had this glass Yin-Yang mirror, so I thought of using this method. I didn't expect it to work so easily today. Haha!" Huo Biao laughed so hard that his whole body shook.

Bixia could no longer bear it, she gritted her teeth, forced her energy, and a green aura surrounded her. Her clothes fluttered, and she leaped up, waving her right palm, flashing a green light, and slashed towards Huo Biao.

Huo Biao saw Bixia rushing towards him angrily and snorted coldly, "You overestimate your own abilities!" He took a step forward and swung his right fist. Flames immediately condensed, and with a 'bang', flames flashed and scorching heat waves spread out. Bixia was instantly blown away, falling to the ground like a kite with a broken string, unable to get up.

Wuzhan didn't expect Bixia to be so reckless, and hurried forward to check on her. He saw that Bixia's brows were furrowed, she had fainted, and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth. After taking her pulse, he knew that her five internal organs were shattered and her life was in danger. He immediately sealed the acupuncture points according to the meridians in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" to slow down the bleeding of internal organs.

Seeing Bixia unconscious, Gun cursed Huo Biao, "One day, you will be beaten to death by the people of the underworld to pay for the crimes you have committed."

Huo Biao retracted his fist, shook his sleeves, and laughed contemptuously: "Their lifespans are like stink bugs in front of us. Even if they practice for a lifetime, they can't fly to the heavenly palace, let alone beat me."

"Han Xiaoting!" Wuzhan suddenly shouted behind Huo Biao.

Huo Biao trembled all over and cried out in a lost voice: “How is this possible!” He turned around abruptly, but did not see the man. Then he realized that Wuzhan was lying to him.

"You little bastard, how dare you lie to me!" Huo Biao turned around and glared at Wuzhan with bloodshot eyes.

Wuzhan said calmly, "I just thought of someone from the next class!" The implication was, "Since you are not afraid of the person from the next class, why are you so panicked when you heard Han Xiaoting's name?"

Huo Biao looked at Wuzhan and laughed, "You are a dying man, you are like a stink bug in front of me. Killing you would make my hands dirty!"

Wuzhan stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "As you said, there must be a lot of bedbugs in the Heavenly Palace!"

Huo Biao said coldly: "Although I won't kill you, I will leave you here, a stink bug, and let you starve to death. I will make you regret it for daring to disrespect the gods!"

Wuzhan said: "As you said, I am about to die, so why should I be afraid of a shitty god like you?"

"Good boy, you are right! He is just a beast of this generation!" Gun cursed.

Huo Biao laughed and said, "You don't need to delay waiting for Han Xiaoting to come back. To tell you the truth, he won't come back because I let him meet Ping Qingjue. Haha, they are fighting each other now. It's hard to say who will survive."

Wuzhan was startled, not knowing whether it was true or not, but he thought that since Han Xiaoting had not come to kill him for such a long time, he must have been intercepted. If so, the two would fight to the death after they met. Wuzhan had seen their cultivation and martial arts, so it was hard to say who was stronger and who was weaker. He didn't know what method Huo Biao used to lure Ping Qingjue to deal with Han Xiaoting.

Huo Biao formed seals with his hands, looked at Gun's soul, and said in a deep voice: "Now that we have found out the whereabouts of Xirang, I will take it away and return to the Heavenly Palace to report. Do you have anything else to say before I refine it?"

Wuzhan had never expected that Huo Biao would want to refine Gun's soul. He had never heard that the soul could be refined. He didn't know what effect refining the soul would have on him. Looking at Gun's red flames, he was powerless to save him, and sadness and resentment surged in his heart.

"Even if you can survive the three disasters, you can't escape the calamity of the gods. It's been more than three thousand years, and it's time for it to come!" Gun's soul said in a dejected manner.
