In front of the fortress, after the deal was made, Zhong Yue laughed, “You’d better not forget the little secret we talked about just now.”

“What little secret?” asked the puzzled Old Man Xuan and Qi.

Zhong Yue opened his mouth again but this time, no words came out. Old Man Xuan and Qi then shouted, “Louder!”

Zhong Yue once again opened his mouth but no words came out. Suddenly, he burst out laughing and left decisively.

Old Man Xuan and Qi turned around and said to Gui Youmin right away, “Left Prime Minister! He didn’t say anything to us!”

Gui Youmin smirked, “Of course I know about this puny trick of his. King Yi is trying to raise conflict among us and make me doubt your loyalty! Anyway, you shouldn’t have bet with King Yi.”

Old Man Xuan and Qi smiled, “King Yi has something we can neither see through nor forge. But if he bets that the weapons we forged cannot kill his men, then he is bound to lose this bet. Left Prime Minister, don’t worry, apart from monarch level existences, there is no one we can’t kill!”

Gui Youmin frowned slightly hearing this and so did Mo Yin too.

Qi Shou smirked, “The weapons we forged have only tasted defeat once, and that was only against King Yi. We did not even lose against Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!”

Whatever they said was not just empty bluster but the truth; Old Man Xuan and Qi once encountered Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and managed to force him into a corner with just an arrow, leaving him no choice but to use the divine eye gifted by his teacher, only to have the eye sealed away by the arrow!

They might have lost in the end, but the arrow they crafted gained the upper hand against Imperial Emperor Xian Tian!

Old Man Xuan and Qi smiled, “Worry not, we will send out generals later and whoever yielding our weapon will behead the enemies with ease!”

Zhong Yue returned to the fortress and asked his men, “Those who are now being threatened by the divine weapons forged, stand out.”

Nearly six hundred Deity Emperors and Creators stood out right away.

Zhong Yue then said, “Now, show me your Daos.”

The Deity Emperors and Creators immediately did as he commanded and after checking and going through with their Daos, Zhong Yue pointed at the Innate War Spirit Body, Bai Sheng and said, “Go out alone, challenge one of their generals and return to me with your opponent’s head.”

Bai Sheng shouted right away, “Mister, they have already forged a weapon that counters me entirely, I will be killed if I go out!”

Zhong Yue then activated the Innate Yi Dao and turned it into a divine bell. He smiled, “When they activate the steel gourd, just ring this bell and you will be back. Once the bell rings, not only will they not be able to harm you, they will be killed!”

Half convinced, Bai Sheng took over the divine bell and with an uneasy heart, he looked towards Long Zhi and stuttered, “Senior Martial Sister Long Zhi, Mister, I have a wife and a kid….”

Long Zhi answered, “Your family will be taken care of if you die. Just go and challenge them without any worry, I will treat them honorably and generously if you lose your life. You have my word.”

Bai Sheng was still afraid to head out, he tried to get away from it, only to have Zhong Yue threatening him, “It’s either you go out and come back with the enemy’s head gloriously or have your head hang at the fortress’ walls later!”

Left with no options, Bai Sheng mustered all he had, headed out and shouted, “I am Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ Bai Sheng, who dares to challenge me!”

On the wall, Long Zhi reached her head to Zhong Yue and asked, “Mister, are you trying to perform a blood ritual to break Old Man Xuan and Qi’s [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]? I have heard of a powerful skill in the [Evil Tome] called the [Blood Sacrificial] that will heavily weaken a powerful weapon or array after sacrificing a few gods.”

Surprised by her question, Zhong Yue replied, “I want him to return alive gloriously with his trophy. I’m not trying to perform a blood ritual with his life. Why are you saying this, senior martial sister?”

“You are not planning to sacrifice him?”

Jiao Teng who was standing at the side was caught off guard and she giggled, “And here I thought you are trying to sacrifice our War Innate Spirit Body, I even planted a few children in him so his corpse wouldn’t be wasted.”

The gods around felt a cold shivering down their spine right away and they immediately distanced themselves from the female Imperial Emperor.

“My child won’t eat him if he is still alive.”

Jiao Teng blinked her beautiful eyes, included everyone’s expression in her vision and giggled, “Calm yourselves, I won’t eat all of you, but that’s of course when you are still useful, when you are no longer useful… Hehehehe!”

On the opposite, confusement surrounded Gui Youmin and the others while the Heavenly Suppression Fortress’ army readied up as a Deity Emperor stood at the front, shouting for a challenge.

“Does he have a death wish?”

Ting Daoji said, “What are they doing? Could it be the [Blood Sacrificial]?”

Gui Youmin’s expression changed slightly hearing this and he said, “Senior martial brothers, this Deity Emperor is the Innate War Spirit Body, Bai Sheng, did you forge a weapon that could kill him?”

Old Man Xuan and Qi slammed the hammer and after hearing its echo, they took out a steel gourd and smiled, “Here, don’t worry, even if the [Blood Sacrificial] managed to gain the upper hand over our weapon, King Yi will lose if the Innate War Spirit Body died.”

The happy Gui Youmin immediately summoned a Deity Emperor, sent him out with the steel gourd and ordered, “If you lose, you die!”

“Halt!”

Mo Yin on the other hand, came rushing in and shouted, “Prime Minister! If you send him out with Old Man Xuan and Qi’s divine weapon, he will die!”

Gui Youmin glanced at him and said coldly, “What is your suggestion then?”

Mo Yin continued, “Mister Yi is one with many tricks, he probably knew what is coming, which is why I said using the divine weapon forged by Old Man Xuan and Qi will definitely lose! In my opinion, it’s best to use the monarch weapon in this instant and take the enemy down by surprise. This is the best and safest way!”

Gui Youmin smirked, “Mister Mo, you may be a messenger from His Majesty but any more foolish words or actions that will disrupt our morale, I will execute you without any hesitation!”

Meanwhile, the Deity Emperor took over the steel gourd and mounted his ride, charging right out from the camp while Bai Sheng charged forward. The two Deity Emperors got in a fight without saying a word and as the Innate War Spirit Body, Bai Sheng quickly gained the upper hand with how powerful he was, especially in the battlefield. In just a few exchanges, his opponent was forced into using the steel gourd and Bai Sheng’s soul flinched. Just as he was about to be sucked into the gourd, he remembered the bell Zhong Yue gave to him. In the split-second right before he was about to be sucked into the bell, he slammed onto the bell.

Guang—

The bell unleashed a massive soundwave, crushing the bell and leaving the Deity Emperor clueless before he got stunned by the bell noise. This gave Bai Sheng the precious opportunity to strike his foe down, locking his Yuan Shen and killing him on the spot!

Gui Youmin and the others were stunned by this scene and Old Man Xuan and Qi also frowned, they immediately retrieved the shattered steel gourd and examined the pieces carefully before soon falling back into silence.

“Thank you for your mercy, Old Man Xuan and Qi!” Zhong Yue burst out laughing on the fortress’ walls.

Gui Youmin secretly glanced at Old Man Xuan and Qi in doubt and the confused Old Man Xuan and Qi hurriedly said, “The weapon we forged is definitely a weapon that entirely counters him, we guarantee!”

Gui Youmin’s eyes twitched and he said politely, “Everyone will eventually make mistakes, don’t worry too much but I hope there won’t be a next time.”

Old Man Xuan and Qi worked themselves up and immediately started smithing again.

In the fortress, Bai Sheng returned as a winner happily and he knelt before Zhong Yue as he passed the divine bell back to Zhong Yue.

After taking over the bell, Zhong Yue dismissed Bai Sheng and smiled, “Your contribution will be recorded, now go. Imperial Emperor Fu Li, please, come forth.”

Fu Li immediately got out and with his psyche channeled into the divine bell, the bell in Zhong Yue’s hand turned into a needle. Zhong Yue then ordered, “Now go, triumph against your opponent.”

After obtaining the [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture], Fu Li had been cultivating it for years and he was now an Imperial Emperor. His body had become even larger and his body rivaled even the Juling Clan’s Imperial Emperors.

Seeing how tiny and ridiculous the needle look, Fu Li shouted right away, “Master, isn’t this a little too puny? Do you have a bigger weapon?”

“Shut up and go!” waved Zhong Yue.

Fu Li then put the needle into his ears, picked up his bone club and charged right out, “Listen up, fools! Your great and almighty Master Fu Li is here, come and face your death in my hands!”

Not long later, a Southern Heaven Gate’s Imperial Emperor got out, yielding an Imperial Emperor level weapon forged by Old Man Xuan and Qi, which came in the form of a steel felt. After the seventh spinal vertebrae weakness was removed, divine needle posed no threat to Fu Li anymore and the steel felt was the result of Old Man Xuan and Qi creating a new weapon to kill Fu Li in another way.

The two Imperial Emperors clashed fiercely, destroying the surroundings with their almighty power and suddenly, Southern Heaven Gate’s Imperial Emperor activated the steel felt, wrapping it around Fu Li and attempting to crush his bones. Just as Fu Li’s bones were about to be crushed, he whipped out the needle given to him by Zhong Yue, pierced the felt and stabbed it right into Southern Heaven Gate’s Imperial Emperor’s ears!

The needle rampaged right inside Southern Heaven Gate’s Imperial Emperor’s body immediately, piercing through his body and Yuan Shen time and time again.

When the needle returned to Fu Li under his summon, Southern Heaven Gate’s Imperial Emperor’s body crumbled into pieces, his life lost to the needle and this was the time everyone saw a tiny thread attached to the needle. This thread acted as the weapon that severed Southern Heaven Gate’s Imperial Emperor into pieces!

Zhong Yue’s laughter was heard again, “Thank you for your help, Old Man Xuan and Qi! This is one more enemy down!”

Fu Li returned to the fortress and thanked Zhong Yue but showed no sign of returning the needle to the owner as greed obviously took him.

Zhong Yue burst out laughing at this scene while the needle flew out from Fu Li’s secret realm under Zhong Yue’s summon before turning into a cauldron that was later on handed over to a Creator.

Fu Li was disheartened by this scene but that did not stop Zhong Yue from ordering the Creator to head out for the next battle.

Old Man Xuan and Qi, on the other hand, did not look good as they did not know how to react to the second defeat. Gui Youmin’s expression looked pretty terrible as well and the suspicion he had towards Old Man Xuan and Qi intensified, “Senior Martial Brother Xuan Qi, it seems like your weapons are not working properly as expected, are you sure your weapons can win against our enemies?”

“Please give us some time to check them over again.” said Old Man Xuan and Qi as they quickly went through with their weapons, checking all over for any flaws and nodded, “Now, there will be no problem anymore!”

Half convinced, Gui Youmin sent another Creator out with Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapons; both sides clashed fiercely and Gui Youmin’s expression looked just like as if he swallowed something inedible as his general was killed by the opponent’s tiny cauldron at ease!

“Ghost Master, could it be Old Man Xuan and Qi had already defected to King Yi?” whispered a Deity Emperor standing beside Gui Youmin.

Gui Youmin hurriedly looked towards his men, who were all afraid of what happened and extremely distrustful of Old Man Xuan and Qi’s weapons, terrorized of being sent out to fight with their weapon.

Are they really plotting something against us with King Yi?

Gui Youmin glanced at Old Man Xuan and Qi, who both felt humiliated and embarrassed, they stood up angrily and shouted, “The weapons we forged will never be in flaw! This is definitely Mister Yi’s doing! Send a few powerful ones, we don’t believe King Yi will be able to defeat our weapons!”
