Chapter 559: Chapter 257: What If They Really Find Something?

"How could it be him!?"

Hee Wenjie was incredulous, but upon further reflection, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed logical that if the murderer was Ye Qingzhou, then everything made sense.

"The timing of my father’s death was right after he participated in the Sword Fighting Competition, and the Gu Family’s massacre probably was his doing... Absolute Sword! Could he be the mysterious disciple of Rain Master, Absolute Sword?"

Although Ye Qingzhou had been very cautious when taking on the alias of ’Absolute Sword’, changing his combat style and sword techniques, Hee Wenjie was convinced that Ye Qingzhou was Absolute Sword.

"Ye Qingzhou, I vow not to be human if I don’t kill you!"

Hee Wenjie’s eyes burned with fury, filled with hatred.

The enmity of a father’s death is irreconcilable, and now that he knows who the enemy is, he finds himself powerless and weak when seeking revenge.

"No, Ye Qingzhou is too deeply hidden, and he alone can single-handedly sweep through Chenli Country, sword in hand against countless enemies; I’m no match for him."

Despite knowing the enemy’s identity, Hee Wenjie hated his own incompetence for not being able to avenge himself.

"Do you want revenge? I’ll help you."

A mocking yet tempting voice echoed in Hee Wenjie’s mind once more.

"Why are you helping me?"

"Does it matter?"

"...Yes, it’s not important at all."

Hee Wenjie, blackened by hatred, smiled bitterly, then resolved: "As long as I can get revenge, what does it matter if I sell my soul to the devil?"

"Humans are indeed interesting."

The mysterious voice soon formed a psychic contract with Hee Wenjie, who began his journey to the Imperial Capital, for his enemy was there.

......

Chuyun Country, Feiyi River.

Eight large rivers converge here, interweaving to form a pattern resembling snake scales.

This river network is dense, periodically flooded, making it a swamp shrouded in miasma for thousands of years, its humid and warm climate a paradise for venomous snakes and insects.

In the depths of the swamp stands a majestic palace known as the Calamity God Palace.

The deity worshiped in Calamity God Palace is the Evil God Eight-Headed Great Serpent from Chuyun Country’s myth.

In the smoky hall, a bewitching shrine maiden knelt before the altar, seemingly devoutly praying to the Eight-Headed Great Serpent she venerates.

Her ample figure obscured by white robes and scarlet hakama, with a radiant egg-shaped face white as snow, untouched by dust—such a terrestrial beauty that any man would be aroused by her innate desires.

She was none other than the woman who previously appeared in Lingjue Temple, plotting with Fa Yan, the shrine maiden of Calamity God Palace, Jiye Bayun.

Night deepened, a cool breeze stirred, ruffling the candles in the hall.

Amidst the flickering light, a strange figure appeared behind Jiye Bayun: "Hehehe~ Yinji, you’re still as mischievous."

Roar~

The mythical being Eight-Headed Great Serpent, with the combat power of Celestial King Martial God, issued an angry hiss at the intruder, eight massive heads repeatedly lashing out threats.

"Hey hey, Yinji, control your dog."

Jiye Bayun opened her eyes and gently stroked the scales of the Eight-Headed Great Serpent as if it were a barking house pet.

To outsiders, she is the shrine maiden of Calamity God Palace, a servant of the deity.

But in reality, Jiye Bayun is the reincarnation of Snake Mother Yinji, with her true identity being Lust, one of the Seven Phases of Emperor Slayer.

As for the Eight-Headed Great Serpent, it is merely her pet dog.

"Heaven-Devouring, why have you come?"

"Great Black Heaven is dead, and the people of Dongji Kingdom plan to forge a Divine Weapon from its divine corpse."

"And then?"

Snake Mother Yinji rubbed the chin of one of the Eight-Headed Great Serpent’s heads, her expression indifferent, clearly not taking Heaven-Devouring’s words seriously.

Such nonchalance irked Heaven-Devouring greatly: "Yinji, how about you and I team up?"

"No way."

Snake Mother Yinji refused without thought: "Emperor Slayer once disbanded through Qian and Yin Emperor’s hands to reincarnate into Blue Star, intending to devour the Dao Fruit alone. We are but avatars; we need only wait for the Emperor Monarch to return after transcending calamity. Why must we engage in needless actions?"

"Hmph! Are you truly satisfied? Why is He the master while we can only be His resources? How is that fair!"

Heaven-Devouring was resentful, seemingly inheriting some of Great Black Heaven’s rage after its death: "With fate undecided, who knows who will prevail."

"Sigh, you’re too greedy."

Snake Mother Yinji sighed: "Beware; this greed might cost you your life."

"Hmph, greed is intrinsic to Emperor Slayer; had He not harbored the ambition to devour the sky, how would He have attained the ultimate title of Emperor Monarch? Now, He’s trapped in the Spiritual Realm, suppressed by various emperors of Blue Star, this is our opportunity to achieve enlightenment."

"Enough said; the Seven Phases have never united, else why didn’t you save Great Black Heaven when He perished?"

Snake Mother Yinji’s serene eyes seemed to penetrate Heaven-Devouring’s intentions: "We are of the same origin, hence your desire to devour Great Black Heaven’s source, then move onward to devour me, gaining three of the Seven Phases, thus seizing the foundation of Emperor Slayer, and finally devouring the Dao Fruit alone to become the final victor... Greed, indeed the greatest original sin, your ambition is too grand."

"So what if it is?"

Heaven-Devouring, having its intentions exposed by Snake Mother Yinji, no longer hid, but threatened instead: "Once I devour Great Black Heaven’s origin, it’s two against one, and you’ll die all the same!"

With that, Heaven-Devouring vanished.

Yet Snake Mother Yinji remained unmoved: "If seduction doesn’t work, then provocation? Men are truly childish creatures."
