“He is already a Venerable One, while I am merely an Inscription Master. Our realms are somewhat mismatched. You should go, Granny.”
Chapter 145 Let Yuechan Come
Upon hearing this, Granny Xihua nodded, agreeing with what her young lady had said.
At this time, Fairy Yuechan was only at the peak of the Inscription Realm and had not yet entered the formation. Compared with Shi Yi, who was already in the mid-stage of the Venerable Realm, she was indeed much weaker.
If the difference is only one major realm, then as the Holy Maiden of the Moon Goddess Patching Heaven Sect, she is qualified to have a conversation with Shi Yi.
However, if you're two major realms below the required level, then you're not quite qualified.
"By the way, Miss, what kind of apology should we bring when we visit Shi Yi this time?" Granny Xihua asked.
She was just a servant and couldn't make a decision on this matter, so she consulted Yuechan.
After a moment's thought, Yuechan replied, "Let's follow the standards for a Divine Fire cultivator. Although his realm is at the mid-stage of the Venerable realm, his strength has already surpassed that of the Venerable realm."
In the battle at Demon Spirit Lake, countless Venerables died at his hands, demonstrating the terrifying power of his forces. Since we're here this time to apologize, we can't be petty.
"The standards for a Divine Fire cultivator!"
Grandma Xihua was a little surprised, but she quickly understood.
The fact that so many Venerable Realm experts were slaughtered in one battle, and that these experts were wielding divine artifacts, true god treasures, and heavenly god artifacts, cannot be explained by a single Divine Fire level combat power.
"Yes, I will obey Miss's command." Granny Xihua bowed her head and bowed to Yuechan, then slowly retreated and disappeared, leaving only the beautiful Fairy Yuechan standing there, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, gazing into the distance, bright and piercing. No one knew what she was thinking.
Soon after, Granny Xihua found another Venerable One sent to the desolate region by the Patching Heaven Sect, known as Elder Zhong.
This was an old man, tall and with long, flowing white hair, bronze skin, and eyes like golden lamps. Although he was very old, he was vigorous and showed no signs of exhaustion.
“Elder Zhong, Miss wants us to make a trip to the Stone Kingdom to pay our respects to the Martial King’s Mansion,” Granny Xihua said.
"I understand. Since it is Miss's order, we should not delay and shall set off immediately," Old Zhong replied. His voice was loud and clear, like a bronze bell being struck and resonating.
Granny Xihua naturally had no objections. She took a spatial treasure with her and left the place with Elder Zhong, heading straight for the capital of the Stone Kingdom.
Inside the spatial artifact was naturally the apology gift prepared by the Patching Heaven Sect for Shi Yi. The contents were astonishing; even the Divine Fire cultivators could not remain calm upon seeing it. To demonstrate the Patching Heaven Sect's sincerity, Yuechan went all out.
Compared to the Ten Fierce Treasures and Ten Fierce Divine Treasures on Shi Yi's body, these things are nothing. As long as we can win Shi Yi over to the Heaven-Mending Sect, it's worth any price.
Granny Xihua and Elder Zhong were both Venerables, so their escape speed was naturally extremely fast. Before long, they arrived at the capital of the Stone Kingdom. After successfully entering the capital, the two went straight to the gate of the Martial King's Mansion and asked the gatekeeper to announce that the Patching Heaven Sect had come to visit.
Shi Yi, who was sitting cross-legged deep inside the Wu King's Mansion, was thinking about how to capture Yue Chan and the witch when he heard the report from the Wu King's Mansion disciple and instantly perked up.
"I've searched high and low without finding it, but it's right here without any effort. It seems I don't need to go out and make any moves; Yuechan will come to me on her own. That's good; it saves me a lot of trouble," Shi Yi chuckled to himself.
"How many people came? And who are they?"
He asked aloud.
Outside the stone gate, a disciple of the Wu King's Mansion reported truthfully: "Two people have come, an old man and an old woman."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi was somewhat surprised, as he had assumed that Yuechan would come to him on her own.
He spread his vast divine sense, instantly enveloping the entire Martial King's Mansion, and saw Granny Xihua and Elder Zhong standing in front of the mansion.
"Let them in."
Shi Yi withdrew his divine sense and said this.
A short while later, Granny Xihua and Old Master Zhong entered the reception room of the Wu King's mansion. Shi Yi was lying on his back, sitting on the royal chair, which was generally the position of the Wu King, representing the status of the host of this place.
But now, Shi Yi is also qualified to sit there; he is the de facto strongest person in the Martial King's Mansion.
When they first met Shi Yi, Granny Xihua and Old Zhong were deeply shocked. This being was too extraordinary. He sat there, and his eyes looked no different from those of a normal person, but even a casual glance from him made them feel pressured and dared not meet his eyes.
The two of them wondered to themselves, "Is this really a sixteen-year-old boy?"
Generally speaking, creatures of this age are full of vigor and arrogance, but Shi Yi has an indescribable composure. His temperament is otherworldly, as if he is detached from the mortal world and not subject to the five elements.
Those double pupils, seemingly simple and unremarkable, appear no different from ordinary people, but only by truly looking into them can one realize how terrifying they are.
Granny Xihua and Old Zhong only made eye contact for a moment, yet Granny Xihua felt as if she had been completely seen through. There were no secrets about her at all. They even had the illusion that this being could see through the past, present, and future, and understand all the causes and effects in the world.
Before they could even utter a word, their backs were already drenched in sweat. They couldn't help but marvel, "Is this the legendary Holy Emperor's extraordinary phenomenon—the one with double pupils? It's terrifying!"
"We are Xihua and Zhong Li from the Patching Heaven Sect. We have come to pay our respects to you to resolve a misunderstanding." Finally, Granny Xihua spoke, her face full of smiles, trying her best to lower her posture.
As she spoke, she presented the apology gift that she had prepared beforehand.
"This is a small token of our appreciation from the Heaven-Mending Sect. We hope Fellow Daoist Shi will not find it offensive."
Shi Yi glanced at the contents of the spatial artifact, his expression unchanged, and calmly replied, "During the Battle of Demon Spirit Lake, I casually killed a Venerable who claimed to be from the Patching Heaven Sect. He didn't have to die so quickly, but who knew that he would use the name of the 'Patching Heaven Sect' to intimidate me, so I had no choice but to kill him."
I don't even know if he's actually a member of your Heaven-Mending Cult.
These words startled both Grandma Xihua and Old Zhong.
What kind of great sect is their Heaven-Mending Sect? It is considered a behemoth in the Upper Realm. Since the two of them entered the Desolate Domain, they have been treated as honored guests wherever they go, with everyone flattering, trying to win them over and curry favor.
When it came to Shi Yi, after introducing himself, he was told to first go to the Yellow Springs Road. This was too terrifying.
They realized that this was a truly ruthless person, and anyone who tried to use their background to intimidate him would not only fail but would also suffer the opposite effect and invite disaster.
The two couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Fortunately, they hadn't been arrogant this time, otherwise they wouldn't be standing here unharmed.
"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Shi, that being was indeed a member of my Heaven-Mending Sect. However, he disobeyed the sect's orders and has been expelled from the sect."
"The order I gave him was to assist Fellow Daoist Shi, but he has turned against the Heavenly Gang and is already courting death. His death is not a pity." Elder Zhong spoke up, responding with a smile.
"Is that so? Your words alone are not enough to convince anyone."
"A priceless treasure is tempting; I don't believe your Heaven-Mending Sect has no designs on me." Shi Yi remained noncommittal.
Granny Xihua quickly explained that she was conveying the will of the upper echelons of the Upper Realm Sect, hoping that Shi Yi could join the Patching Heaven Sect. The Patching Heaven Sect could create an additional "Holy Son" with treatment and status higher than that of the Holy Maiden. This was the condition for the Patching Heaven Sect to recruit Shi Yi.
Originally, the reward wasn't this high, but Shi Yi's achievements at Demon Spirit Lake led the higher-ups of the Heaven-Mending Sect to change the conditions, placing great expectations on him, even surpassing those of the Holy Maiden.
"The Holy Son of the Heaven-Mending Sect? Heh, interesting." Shi Yi chuckled.
He did indeed plan to visit the Heaven-Mending Sect, but not as a "Holy Son," but as a powerful figure.
The Patching Heaven Sect wanted to recruit him into their sect using the title of "Holy Son," but that was impossible.
Shi Yi is talented, capable, and protected by the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so he doesn't need to add any further constraints to himself.
Once he becomes the Holy Son of the Patching Heaven Sect, the rise and fall of this great sect will be deeply intertwined with him. And what can the Patching Heaven Sect offer Shi Yi?
Therefore, he had absolutely no interest in the name of the Son of God.
"Fellow Daoist Shi has agreed?"
Seeing Shi Yi laugh, the two men were excited, thinking that Shi Yi had agreed to the conditions, and that in this way, the two of them would have done a great service.
Unfortunately, Shi Yi's answer brought their smiles to an abrupt end the next moment.
"Neither of you are qualified to talk to me about this. Let Yuechan come."
Shi Yi spoke, his tone cold, his voice carrying immense authority that resonated throughout the hall. Even powerful figures like Granny Xihua and Elder Zhong, revered by great sects, couldn't help but shiver.
The two had a premonition that they had failed this time. In Shi Yi's eyes, they were not qualified at all; only the Holy Maiden was qualified.
“The Holy Maiden…is unwell,” Granny Xihua tried to explain.
"Then come back when she's alright. You two are nothing but her servants, yet you dare to spout nonsense in front of me, talking about the Holy Son. If I weren't in a good mood today, you would have already disappeared from this world." Shi Yi looked down at the two and said coldly, releasing a wisp of killing intent.
Granny Xihua and Old Zhong were shocked and trembled uncontrollably, overwhelmed by the murderous intent.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, please calm down. We were the ones who were rude. Please do not be angry."
"Next time, I will personally visit Fellow Daoist Shi to discuss this matter in detail."
They quickly spoke up, fearing that Shi Yi would become angry and kill them all.
Now, Shi Yi's reputation as a god of death has been deeply ingrained in people's minds. He has killed almost all the venerable ones from the major powers in the upper realm.
"Get out of here. You're just a servant. Do you think you're worthy of making promises to me?"
Shi Yi's eyes gleamed, and his murderous aura swept through the entire hall like a vast ocean. Granny Xihua and Elder Zhong were caught in the crossfire and their legs went weak, almost causing them to fall.
Having lived so long and seen so much, the sight of Shi Yi, who was about to attack without a word, made them both tremble with fear. They dared not linger any longer, hastily bid farewell, and then turned and left.
"Take your junk with you."
The two walked out of the main hall and before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they heard Shi Yi's voice, along with the spatial artifact.
"Let's go quickly, this place is not safe to stay for long. We need the Holy Maiden to take action herself."
"Alas, Miss has misjudged this time. The other party doesn't value cultivation level at all; they value status more," Granny Xihua sighed.
Soon, the two masters of the Heaven-Mending Sect hurriedly left the Martial King's Mansion and disappeared from the capital of the Stone Kingdom.
Just as the two of them left, a passing creature quickened its pace outside the Wu King's Mansion, turning left and right until it arrived at a magnificent building and went inside.
What he didn't know was that Shi Yi had seen all of this.
"A member of the witch's lineage?"
Shi Yi muttered to himself, making a guess.
Then he smiled.
The witch is the Holy Maiden of the Intercepting Heaven Sect, and she and Yuechan, the Holy Maiden of the Mending Heaven Sect, have always been mortal enemies, constantly vying for supremacy. Now that the Mending Heaven Sect has come to win her over, what will the Intercepting Heaven Sect do?
Is it an attempt to win them over, or something else?
It should be noted that within the Kunpeng Nest, one of the witch's spirits was teaming up with Shi Hao, intending to ambush Shi Yi from behind and rob him.
In the end, Shi Yi made a strong move, destroying the witch's spirit body and giving Shi Hao a severe beating.
The two have already formed a karmic bond, so how should the witch face him now?
Inside the magnificent building, a creature disguised as a passerby knelt outside a layer of green gauze curtain and reported in an extremely respectful tone: "Reporting to the Holy Maiden, Venerable Xihua and Venerable Zhongli of the Patching Heaven Sect have come out of the Martial King's Mansion. Judging from their expressions, the Double Pupil One did not give them a friendly look."
Inside the green gauze tent, a figure that could make any man's blood boil lay on the bed. Her figure was graceful and her curves were beautiful. Several fox tails swayed in the air, stirring the heartstrings. Her alluring appearance was irresistible. Even the men outside the tent, who were her subordinates, could not remain calm.
However, the man lowered his head to the ground, not daring to raise it for fear of losing his composure, as he knew all too well how terrifying the saintess was before him.
"Hehe, it's pretty much what I expected. If nothing unexpected happens, the next one to visit the Martial King's Mansion will be Sister Yuechan herself." The celestial fox girl said with a light laugh, her voice so alluring that it could bewitch anyone.
"Holy Maiden, what should we do?" the creature outside the tent asked.
The doctrines of the Intercepting Heaven Sect and the Mending Heaven Sect are diametrically opposed. The two major sects have always been at odds with each other, and the Intercepting Heaven Sect will always try to stop the Mending Heaven Sect from doing what it wants to do.
"What should we do? Naturally, we should take the first step before Yuechan and bring those with double pupils into our sect's camp."
That boy with double pupils is no ordinary person; he would be among the top in the Upper Realm. Most importantly, he possesses the Ten Fierce Treasures and the Ten Fierce Divine Treasures. Whoever can win him over will reap enormous rewards. Our Intercepting Heaven Sect certainly cannot miss such an opportunity.
"However, there's a bit of a problem. I underestimated him and ambushed him. It seems I'll have to go and apologize in person," the celestial fox girl replied.
She thought for a moment and said, "If we want to get there before Yuechan, we can't hesitate. We need to set off now."
"Your Highness, we need..."
"No need. Just inform them. With Shi Yi's strength, even a Venerable is beneath his notice. Xi Hua and Zhong Li's experiences prove everything. So, I can represent the Jie Tian Sect alone." The Heavenly Fox Girl interrupted him.
“But Your Highness, he is too powerful. Your safety cannot be guaranteed if you go alone.”
“I’m not going to fight, so how could I be unsafe? Unless he’s thinking of breaking with the Jietian Sect.”
Chapter 146 Drunk and Lying on a Beauty’s Knees
Upon hearing this, the creatures outside the tent said no more, took their leave, and then slowly disappeared from the spot.
Based on his understanding of the Holy Maiden of the Jietian Sect, even if Shi Yi possessed the strength of the Divine Fire Realm, he could not pose any significant threat to her life. After all, she was the Holy Maiden of a major sect in the upper realm, and her profound knowledge and abilities were beyond the comprehension of beings in the lower realm.
After the servants left, the spirit body of the celestial fox girl, who was also a witch, disappeared amidst a burst of silvery laughter.
Soon after, a disciple from the Wu King's Mansion reported again that the Jie Tian Sect had come to visit.
"I understand. Let her in."
In the secret room, Shi Yi spoke, everything was as he had expected.
The people from the Patching Heaven Sect had barely left when the Intercepting Heaven Sect couldn't hold back any longer and tried to intercept them on their way, which was in line with the teachings of the Intercepting Heaven Sect.
However, what the Holy Maiden of the Intercepting Heaven Sect didn't know was that the Martial King's Mansion was now no different from a dragon's den or a tiger's lair to her; going alone would be like walking into a trap.
The location was still the main hall for receiving guests. Shi Yi sat upright on the throne of the Martial King, his gaze indifferent, overlooking the entire hall. Deep in his eyes was a kind of indifference and an indescribable majesty.
Those with double pupils are born with the ability to unleash unparalleled pressure; this is an innate ability of those with double pupils.
