Chapter 1973: Chapter 66: Coming to Kill
After Yun Zaitian finished speaking, five figures with uncertain expressions slowly flew out from a ruin.
Upon seeing these people, Chong Hua merely glanced at them indifferently, while Yun Qi’s expression changed, gritting his teeth:
“Hundred Ghost Mountain!”
The leading Vine Grinding Ghost King looked somewhat dejected and said helplessly:
“Mountain Lord, Yun Qi… don’t blame us, Palace Master Yun’s strength has greatly increased, he’s not what he used to be, we also resisted, but indeed we’re not their match… Yun Qi, you’re one of the Red Sky Palace, you even took a batch of surviving cultivators from Red Sky Palace before, if you turn back now, it’s still not too late…”
“Shut up!”
Yun Qi glared at them angrily, yet his heart couldn’t help but tremble.
The Palace Master has greatly increased in strength? This…
His mind was suddenly thrown into chaos.
The Palace Master’s strength has greatly increased, considering the other five unified cultivators, plus the Five Ghost Kings, if he were to turn against them…
No! Absolutely not!
The moment this thought arose, the scene of Chong Hua effortlessly defeating him and another unified cultivator together suddenly flashed in his mind.
That scene was a nightmare he could never forget for his entire life.
It directly shattered his Dao-heart!
However, at almost the same time, the other four Ghost Kings also started to persuade him:
“Palace Master Yun’s strength has greatly increased and he hopes to lead Red Sky Palace back to its peak, Yun Qi, don’t ruin your own future, it’s never too late to turn back!”
“Indeed, Palace Master Yun has gained the favor of Master Chang Ying from the Jade Pot Realm, and he’s here this time also for the Mountain Lord… Regarding the killing of Chief Qiao Wensong from Jade Pot Realm, don’t walk a dead-end path, knowing the circumstances is wise, there’s still time for everything.”
Yun Qi’s heart trembled, and the determination he had just set wavered once again.
And at this moment.
“Enough! Stop wasting words, Yun Qi, if you can atone for your sins by bringing back our remaining people of Red Sky Palace… Aren’t you afraid of death? I promise to spare your life!”
Yun Zaitian suddenly interrupted the Five Ghost Kings and looked coldly at Yun Qi.
Hearing Yun Zaitian’s words, the momentary stir and wavering in Yun Qi’s heart silently faded into calmness.
After a brief silence, he slightly shook his head:
“Yun Qi fears not death!”
“If the Palace Master can surpass the Master, Yun Qi, even in death, will inform the Palace Master, otherwise, Yun Qi will strive to preserve the last kindling of Red Sky Palace.”
“Yun Qi, oh Yun Qi, you’re truly incorrigible! Palace Master, Yun Jian requests to kill Yun Qi!”
A cultivator from Red Sky Palace couldn’t help but step forward, speaking towards Yun Zaitian.
Yun Zaitian shook his head in disappointment, his voice carrying the iciness born from ultimate disappointment:
“No need, let me kill this person first, and then deal with the traitors properly!”
His gaze shifted slightly, landing on Chong Hua, who had remained silent all along. He walked through the fiery waves, the sound of fire bursting, illuminating the surrounding void, a sea of red.
Step by step.
Walking towards Chong Hua, above Fanming’s head.
Behind him, the fiery waves silently gathered, forming eight long fiery whips, resembling eight snake heads, spewing firelight!
Yun Zaitian stared at Chong Hua, not making a move immediately but displaying a complex emotion of unwillingness, anger, and other feelings intertwined in his eyes.
His voice was low:
“Red Sky Palace has been declining for several generations. At its peak, Red Sky Palace had over twenty unified cultivators, but now less than ten, even a small force like Hundred Ghost Mountain, which was utterly dismissed in the past, dares to entertain the thought of replacing Red Sky Palace…”
The Five Ghost Kings beside him looked slightly awkward.
Meanwhile, the other five unified cultivators of Red Sky Palace shared a sigh on their faces.
Red Sky Palace’s current state, only they knew how difficult it was.
Thus they grew more furious.
“I inherited Red Sky Palace from the previous Palace Master. Compared to the ancestors before me, I dare not claim how powerful I am, but my heart to revive Red Sky Palace has never wavered. Yet this Sea of Chaos Realm has long become stagnant water. Truly making a move might not only stir the waters but also drown ourselves…”
Yun Zaitian appeared a bit absent-minded, as if he recalled the hard work over the years.
“I dared not make a big move… Red Sky Palace, still too weak, although it carries the name of the Nine Heavenly Palace, it lacks the matching strength, so all I could do was wait, wait for a chance, but this wait lasted nearly ten thousand years… I was ready to give up, who knew at this moment, someone from the Jade Pot Realm suddenly sought me out.”
Yun Zaitian suddenly smiled, the fire waves behind him stretching and swaying, yet in his eyes, contained a hint of bittersweet joy:
“I immediately realized my opportunity came, Red Sky Palace’s opportunity came!”
“Jade Pot Realm must have something to request from Red Sky Palace, or perhaps, they intend to use us… but in the world, it’s just you use me, I use you, if Jade Pot Realm intends to use us, don’t we also wish to use them? It doesn’t matter at all.”
“Qiao Wensong came to invite me, so I gladly went. In the Jade Pot Realm, I met the renowned Master Chang Ying, who could rank top three in realm cultivation base among the Sea of Chaos… With his guidance, I successfully broke through the Dao Domain’s suppression on the Primordial Spirit and successfully elevated my Primordial Spirit into the mid-stage of Unification, completely aligning with the Dao Domain!”
“I returned joyfully, even knowing clearly Jade Pot Realm intends to have us attract others’ attention, but I never expected… I truly never expected,” Yun Zaitian stared at Chong Hua, the sorrow in his eyes almost about to spill out:
