Chapter 465: Chapter 464: Eternal Peace

"The Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires is about to appear. Aren’t you going to let them go?" Lan Yue asked from the side.

Zi Feng shook his head, then looked at the middle-aged man and said, "I take it you didn’t enter the Sea back then, Martial Uncle. You must have encountered something that made you wary, right?"

The middle-aged Daoist nodded. "It was indeed something to be wary of, but the other party clearly had no intention of making a scene. After some thought, perhaps we should send Mo Yan and the others over. Letting them suffer a bit would be good for them."

Afterward, the middle-aged Daoist turned to Zi Feng and said, "Be discreet about this. It’s best that no one realizes we were the ones who arranged it."

Zi Feng nodded. "A building collapses and three top-grade Healing Holy Medicines just happen to appear... It’s not an impossible story."

The middle-aged Daoist nodded. "My Senior Brother hasn’t managed the treasury in years. It’s certainly plausible that a few bottles of Healing Holy Medicine could suddenly go missing.

Speaking of which, I have two bottles of Healing Holy Medicine here. It’s been a long time since I came to see you all, and I didn’t bring any gifts. Take these two bottles.

I’m counting on you to take care of Mo Yan."

Zi Feng took the Elixir Pills and nodded. "Rest assured, Martial Uncle. Mo Yan is practically our junior sister; we’ll be sure to take good care of her."

The middle-aged man nodded. "Then I can rest easy. I’ll be heading back now."

With that, the middle-aged man left, looking very pleased.

After the middle-aged man left, Lan Yue held out her hand. "Senior Brother, where’s my bottle?"

Zi Feng put away the Elixir Pills and said with a serious expression, "You’re still young. I’ll hold on to them for you. When you’re older and need them, I’ll give them to you then."

Lan Yue: "..."

’If she could, she would have loved to send him on his way.’

Later, amidst the ruins, Chi Xue Child suddenly felt something drop into his mouth. He then felt his injuries rapidly healing, and before long, he felt mostly recovered.

When he got up, he found that Liuyue Xue and Demon Cultivator Mo Yan were already on their feet.

They looked at each other. Demon Cultivator Mo Yan said, "Is someone trying to set us up?"

Chi Xue Child nodded. "That’s obvious."

Liuyue Xue took out her phone, typed something, and then played the audio: "Are we going to the Sea of Seven Emotions or not?"

’This is my home turf. I’m not afraid of some conspiracy, even if it involves being mysteriously healed.’

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan said, "Of course we’re going! Don’t tell me you two are scared now? My escape skills are incredible, anyway. Without your Red Sword and Heaven-Breaking Spear, you could only have hoped to catch me back when I was at Tier Three.

Normally, you couldn’t touch me even if I let you try."

Chi Xue Child said, "Speaking of which, do any of you have money for a plane ticket?"

Chi Xue Child’s words stunned everyone.

Mo Yan didn’t have any Spirit Stones to speak of; in fact, she was drowning in medical debt.

Mo Yan had swiped all of Liuyue Xue’s Spirit Stones—mainly because she had so many they were easy to grab—so on top of everything else, she owed Liuyue Xue a huge pile of Spirit Stones.

As for Chi Xue Child, it went without saying: nobody was poorer than him.

At that moment, Mo Yan, who had been clamoring to go to the Sea of Seven Emotions, could almost hear the cawing of crows overhead.

’Are we really this broke?’

And just then, a Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone fell in front of them.

It even came with a dramatic voiceover: A Spirit Stone from the Heavens.

The three of them: "..."

Chi Xue Child picked up the Spirit Stone with a deadpan expression. "Let’s go. Heaven has given its command; it’s up to us to act on it."

Mo Yan pulled aside her bandages. "Only one Fourth-Grade?"

"Be glad we have one. Before, the three of us couldn’t even scrape together a single Fourth-Grade stone," Chi Xue Child said as he put the Spirit Stone away.

Liuyue Xue suddenly announced, "I’m going back to change my clothes."

With that, she ran off in a flash.

Mo Yan looked down at her own state and said, "I’m going with her to take a bath. You might not know this, but Liuyue Xue has to bathe every time she changes. She has a ton of these ’goddess’ quirks."

Having said her piece, she also happily ran after her.

Chi Xue Child was speechless: "..."

’Does that mean I’ll have to wait a long time?’

’I hear girls are a lot of trouble.’

’But then it occurred to him—I have the Spirit Stone. Why should I wait for them?’

Having come to this realization, Chi Xue Child also took off in a flash.

Lan Yue watched Chi Xue Child disappear. "Senior Brother, it looks like you’re going to have to shell out again."

Zi Feng stood up. "I’ll go drag him back."

But just as he stood up, Zi Feng saw Lan Yue block his path with her sword. "Junior Sister, what are you doing?"

"Give me back the medicine, or you’re not taking another step," Lan Yue said.

"You can’t beat me," Zi Feng said flatly.

Lan Yue replied, "I’m willing to risk serious injury to buy our little junior brother some time."

"Junior Sister, you win." With that, Zi Feng concealed himself again. This time, he produced three Third-Grade Spirit Stones.

It was just enough for plane tickets and food.

Stingy to the absolute limit.

「The Sea of Seven Emotions.」

Gu Jiansheng and An Xi walked side by side.

Gu Jiansheng felt extremely uncomfortable, but the pressure she exerted on him left him with no choice.

He had already released Xiaoli. It would run over as soon as it found someone familiar.

Fortunately, its Concealment ability was heaven-defying; otherwise, Gu Jiansheng wouldn’t have felt at ease.

"You care a lot about that fox?" An Xi asked suddenly.

Gu Jiansheng made no attempt to hide it. "Yes. Very, very much."

"Humans and animals are not the same species. Why do you care so much?

Whether the fox lives or dies will have no effect on you.

So what would you do if I killed it?" An Xi asked suddenly.

Gu Jiansheng showed no anger or alarm, but said calmly, "I would simply fight you to the death."

An Xi’s voice was imperious. "Call me An Xi. If you expose me, I might not kill you, but killing your fox would be effortless."

Gu Jiansheng frowned, but then his expression relaxed. "Yes, Sen— An Xi."

An Xi glanced at the people around them. Only a few of the male Cultivators managed not to stare, and that was with her consciously suppressing her aura.

Otherwise, who knew how many men would be gawking at her.

"I don’t like being stared at," An Xi said suddenly.

Gu Jiansheng then placed a Magic spell around An Xi. The spell distorted others’ vision, preventing them from seeing her face clearly.

Those whose Cultivation wasn’t on par with his wouldn’t be able to see through it at a glance.

Of course, the spell wasn’t particularly profound. A Tier Four could see through it with a simple probe, but who around here would randomly probe another person for no reason? That was just asking for death.

An Xi smiled. "Humans are as foolish as ever, still obsessed with physical beauty.

I remember that man... he had no women around him at all. His power was overwhelming, a truly brilliant and ambitious man.

If the Human Race could produce another person like that, I would absolutely turn and leave, perhaps even willingly return to my Seal."

Gu Jiansheng asked, "An Xi, do you intend to be an enemy of the Human Race?"

An Xi turned to look at Gu Jiansheng and smiled. "And you? Will you try to kill me for the sake of the Human Race?"

Gu Jiansheng shook his head. "I am not capable of that, nor would I throw my life away for no reason."

An Xi looked slightly let down. "A little disappointing. You’re completely different from them. They were single-mindedly devoted to the Human Race, to suppressing everything. Truly, if I were human back then, I would have been proud of them.

Fearlessly, they pushed ever forward, choosing death over retreat. They would never disgrace themselves by surviving when an enemy could still be slain.

One step back meant the destruction of their homeland; one step forward could secure ten thousand generations of peace.

The eternal peace of the Human Race was bought with their lives."

"Before the Battle Tomb Stele, there is no life nor death. Beyond the Battle Tomb Stele lies the domain of the Human Race. Trespassers die."

A figure clad in Silver Armor abruptly appeared before An Xi.
