Indestructible God King

Divine Dragon Island! Zhu Hongyi’s Palace!

Zhu Hongyi sat by his table, engrossed in forging while using a fire spell; Zhu Yan stood respectfully in front of him.

“Ancestral uncle, this is the Astral Infant Flame? I heard that not all Astral Infants can do this. What awesome enchanted artifact are you forging with that much Astral Infant Flame?” Zhu Yan asked expectantly.

“It’s nothing of the sort! Qing’er’s ornaments were worn out. Her birthday is coming soon, so I’m going to make her a new ornament!” Zhu Hongyi replied while keeping his eyes on the ornament he was crafting.

Zhu Yan’s face froze. It’s an Astral Infant Flame! It can even make a flying sword!And you are just making an ornament?

“Ancestral uncle, you really love my ancestral aunt-in-law deeply!” Zhu Yan said awkwardly.

I am your ancestral ancestral nephew! Why don’t you make me a flying sword if you have the time and energy!Sigh!

“What brought you here today?” Zhu Hongyi asked without looking at him.

“Ohh, the Third Parlor Lord gave me some high-quality blood essence last time she came to Divine Dragon Island. And now I have reached the Golden Core Stage!” Zhu Yan answered excitedly.

Golden Core Stage! My power grew tremendously, and it also increased my longevity by multiple times!

“Golden Core? Hmm, you were already close to breaking through; it was to be expected that the blood essence would help you in that last step. The Third Parlor Lord? She’s only benefitting you because she wants something from me!” Zhu Hongyi said calmly.

“Ancestral uncle, you are the Fourth Parlor Lord. Between the two of you, who is more powerful?” Zhu Yan asked curiously.

“The Third Parlor Lord, Zi Bufan? I haven’t fought against her before! The Parlor Lords are ranked according to how early we joined the demonic sect. I’m not very sure about the First Parlor Lord, but as for Zi Bufan? She is probably unable to defeat me. Of course, I can’t be completely certain if she has any hidden trump cards!” Zhu Hongyi said.

“Zi Bufan, Parlor Lord Zi gave me quality blood essence and now she’s asking for my help! That’s why I’m here to seek your advice!” Zhu Yan said respectfully.

Although Zhu Yan wasn’t gifted to become an emperor, he at least knew what to do in the event that he did rise to the position. His biggest backer was Zhu Yan; no matter how they tempted him, everyone else was fake.

“Oh?” Zhu Hongyi seemed puzzled as he looked at his ancestral nephew.

“The Great Qing Empire has crumbled because I became a demon! Many factions rose to power in the Great Qing’s territory! Parlor Lord Zi has an ancestral nephew who is leading a military clan. He used to be a duke under my authority, but now he wants to rule over the empire, so she wants my help!” Zhu Yan explained.

“You? Didn’t you lose your empire already? How can you help?” Zhu Hongyi asked with a frown.

“The Zi Military Clan is one of the most powerful; their greatest rival is a military clan by the surname ‘Wang,’ led by my ex-general. The Wang Clan has already captured the Qing Capital!” Zhu Yan explained.

“Hmm?”

Zhu Yan continued to explain, “Although the Great Qing Empire’s territory is in a mess already, the Qing Capital is the royal capital, and home to many important officials of the empire. Zi Bufan wants me to return to the capital and convince those officials to serve the Zi Military Clan!”

Zhu Hongyi sneered and said, “She wants you to help her deal with the Wang Military Clan in the capital, right?”

Zhu Yan nodded and said, “the best scenario for her is that I destroy the Wang Military Clan!”

“Why didn’t she go there herself, instead of asking you?” Zhu Hongyi sneered.

“She doesn’t want to blow the problem out of proportion!” Zhu Yan replied.

Zhu Hongyi said as warning, “Blow up the problem? Listen to me carefully. Even if we were to set aside the Wang Military Clan in the Qing Capital, all military clans in the Great Qing Empire are under the watchful eyes of both the demonic and the righteous factions. The immortal sects are mutually watching their every move; whoever dares to intervene will be punished! This is a war of the Mortal Zone! The immortal sects cannot intervene!”

“Then…!”

“It’s easy for you to go. But the righteous faction will go after you once you attack someone in the Mortal Zone! You are now a notorious person because of your demonization, especially since you were the emperor of the Great Qing. Heh, you left a deep impression in the eyes of the righteous cultivators!” Zhu Hongyi snorted.

“Ahh? Then, then…!” Zhu Yan was shocked once he understood the implications.

People will try to kill me the moment I expose my identity if I go to the capital?

“That’s why! There’s no free lunch in this world! Zi Bufan helped you to reach the Golden Core Stage so you could become cannon fodder for her!” Zhu Hongyi said.

“What should I do then? Ancestral uncle, I… I already promised Zi Bufan!” Zhu Yan asked helplessly.

“Hmm?” Zhu Hongyi glanced coldly at his ancestral nephew.

“She said that I needed to promise her something as a condition for helping me reach the Golden Core before she gave me the high-quality blood essence. I agreed immediately; I was too desperate for a breakthrough!” Zhu Yan recounted anxiously.

“Zi Bufan? Heh, she really knows how to play tricks on people!” Zhu Hongyi muttered to himself.

“Ancestral uncle, can’t I just ignore her?” Zhu Yan looked at his ancestral uncle hopefully.

“You took her things and now refuse to pay?” Zhu Hongyi laughed at his ancestral nephew.

“Yeah, she can’t do anything about it anyway!” Zhu Yan replied.

Still, Zhu Hongyi shook his head and objected, “Zi Bufan is really hard to shake off! If you take her things without anything in return, heh, she will make you cough out everything and pay an even heavier price for it. Do you think she would do nothing?”

“But, but… I can’t just walk into my own grave like that!” Zhu Yan said anxiously.

“Now you know how to panic? Humph!” Zhu Hongyi snorted.

Ancestral uncle, I’m sorry. I will never eat ‘free’ lunches from others again!” Zhu Yan pleaded in a fit of panic.

Zhu Hongyi took a deep breath and said, “Zi Bufan? Humph, what a clever scheme to ask you to deal with the Wang Military Clan. She’s not just against you; she wants to drag me down too!”

“Ah?” Zhu Yan was stunned by the news.

“All the demonic disciples in charge of watching over the righteous factions in the capital are my subordinates!” Zhu Hongyi said with narrowed eyes.

“Ah?” Zhu Yan was astonished.

“Go to the capital! It’ll be fine! But don’t do anything! Just put up an act! Didn’t Zi Bufan ask you to convince some important officials? Just go there and visit a few of them to keep appearances! If they’re willing, then good; if not, it’s okay! You ‘tried’ your best! And you weren't as successful as you wished to be! As for the other things, you don’t have to agree to them!” Zhu Hongyi advised.

“Understood! But, what if…!” Zhu Yan was still worried.

“Let me give you a token. The demonic disciples in the capital will understand my intentions. They will help you out if any righteous disciple is after you!” said Zhu Hongyi to reassure his ancestral nephew.

“Okay, thank you, ancestral uncle!” Zhu Yan said gratefully.

Zhu Hongyi then threw the token to him, and he left in great spirits. He boarded a Miasmic Sea Ship and headed toward the Qing Capital.

Outside the Zhu Cultivation Town! In a valley—

Mo Sanshan’s hair looked unkempt, and a few parts of his clothes were charred. He glared at Tong An'an and the bunch of baldies.

He could hardly swallow the anger he felt as he looked back toward the town area.

Damn it. I thought I was just passing a message. How would I know that Zhang Li'er would attack me in such a crazed manner!

And what about that mascot of the Golden Crow Sect, the Crane King!Freak!It’s a piece of cake to take them out, but I can’t do it in front of this many people.

The Golden Crow Sect considered Zhang Li'er as their treasure; they would think he was bullying her if he were to retaliate. He was sure that every powerful cultivator in the Golden Crow Sect would go after him for one-on-one duels! Things would then become much more complicated as they are at the moment.

“Wang Ke, you bast*rd. What kind of love affair did you get yourself into! You patted your *ss and got away, while I’m left to clean up your mess? Just you wait! I will teach you a good lesson when I get back to the sect!” Mo Sanshan muttered furiously.
