CHAPTER 701: 578 TIGER HEAD MONK

Lei Qi had never imagined that this female immortal, capable of flying through the skies and escaping through the earth, was actually intent on taking him across the seas to get married!

To be honest, he wasn’t very willing.

In his past life, he wasn’t someone to take lightly; apart from the items he brought back from his triennial descent from the mountains, he never messed around with anybody in the Sword Immortal circle.

Not like his junior brother, who loved every woman he saw, pursuing them without distinction between immortals and mortals.

Although he hadn’t recovered the memories of his previous life, he still retained its habits.

Moreover, he was a follower of the Western Sect, and his future wife must either be a fellow devotee of the Cangxu God or a woman who was willing to convert.

He asked Wei Yaozhi, "Can you convert to the Cangxu God?"

Wei Yaozhi was baffled, "What the heck is the Cangxu God?"

Lei Qi then explained to Wei Yaozhi how utterly magnificent the Cangxu God was, and spoke of the twelve saints of the West, saying that this world was created by the Cangxu God.

Wei Yaozhi listened patiently for a while and as she came to understand, she realized this was definitely a cult!

So, she told Lei Qi that it was a cult and that he shouldn’t believe in it.

Lei Qi, not convinced, argued with her a few times. As their conversation grew tense, Wei Yaozhi was resolute in her desire to beat some sense into him.

Lei Qi stopped retorting and let her say whatever she wanted, silently praying to the Cangxu God in his heart, hoping that the Cangxu God would show up and properly discipline this woman who had fallen for the cult.

Seeing him fall silent, Wei Yaozhi began to ponder how this boy had become so heavy, considering how to take him back to her paradise, Xiaopenglai.

Meanwhile, Feng Wu had sneaked nearby. Yu Wa’s sect didn’t cultivate virtue, focusing instead on mastering spells to a terrifying degree.

Feng Wu didn’t dare get too close, for fear of being discovered by Wei Yaozhi. So, from a hundred miles away, he used remote viewing to see the pair flirting and quarreling, feeling both jealous and resentful.

"Oh, brother, you get to enjoy this beauty and be the first. Once you’re done, I’ll use you both as my Tripod Furnace."

He cast a spell, gathering a dense cloud of sweet, cloying mist accompanied by the sea’s vapors and directed them over, remotely casting the Five Elements Reversed Immortal Confusion Technique...

It was the destiny of those two to face this calamity. Wei Yaozhi, usually relying on the strength of her sect, had been autocratic and domineering, intimidating the East Sea by frequently seizing others’ Treasures and Immortal Herbs, acting much more tyrannical than the Emei Sect. Under the Taibai Divine Needle, she left behind a great number of grieving souls. The Yin Yang Elder, in his previous life, had ruined the purity of many young men and women, and now, he had fallen for his own best trick, becoming lost in passion and confusion.

Wei Yaozhi felt increasingly charmed by the young man before her eyes, and with a few deep breaths of the sea breeze, everything felt right as if the air itself turned sweet because of him.

Her sect did not prohibit marriage, nor did it strongly uphold barriers between men and women. Thinking it was destiny, she decided it didn’t matter to take care of matters beforehand.

The two quickly began rewarding each other.

When the Yin Yang Elder underwent Soldier Disintegration, he knew his past path was unattainable and planned to enter the Dao in this life as a virgin. When he sealed away his mana and memories, he had set them to unlock with the touch of skin to skin contact. Although he wouldn’t normally have gotten to the point of rewarding each other, his deep-seated habits from the past and Feng Wu’s intense efforts in casting, enhancing the dose of the drug by a hundredfold, led to an irresistible entanglement of passion...

Halfway through the reward, the Yin Yang Elder suddenly came to his senses, along with the memories, mana, and Divine Skills of his previous life, awakening fully. Furious, he thought, "Damn bitch, how dare you ruin my Dao!"

Wei Yaozhi was perplexed, "Why are you cursing me..."

Before she could finish, a female immortal flew into view from the sky, uneven in limb length, with disheveled hair and face and a green bamboo staff in hand—it was her master, the Three Xiang Poor Girl, Yu Xiangzhu!

"Master!" Wei Yaozhi wasn’t too afraid, just a bit shy.

Yu Xiangzhu’s face was fierce as she released her Flying Sword, slashing towards the Yin Yang Elder with a flash of blue light, intending to take his head.

Seeing the ferocious approach of the sword light, the Yin Yang Elder didn’t dare to face it unarmed and flew up in a fragrant breeze, escaping into the clouds.

Wei Yaozhi couldn’t believe that this man, who had been just an ordinary fisherman, was now soaring into the sky. She was both shocked and delighted, "Master, he has regained his mana."

"Fool!" Yu Xiangzhu cursed angrily, "You’ve got the wrong person! He’s not the one I told you about!"

Wei Yaozhi was shocked, "How is that possible? He fits the description in the Gua Xiang exactly..."

Yu Xiangzhu, unable to contain her fury, swung her bamboo staff, sending out a vast swath of green light, which turned the clouds harboring Yin Yang Elder into a green hue, aiming to completely imprison him within. Meanwhile, she sent her Flying Sword a hundred miles away to strike at Feng Wu and briefly said to Wei Yaozhi, "Do you remember the Monk with the tiger head you encountered a few years ago?"

Hearing this name, Wei Yaozhi recalled the incident. Three years ago, she had competed with a Monk with a tiger head for Immortal Herbs on a deserted island. The Monk’s Dao Level and mana were much stronger than hers, but with a powerful Magical Treasure passed down from her teacher, she had blasted one of the Monk’s legs into dust.

Yu Xiangzhu informed her, "That Monk has always wanted revenge. He knew about this tribulation you were going to face and planned in secret. He cast a spell to blow winds and move this old man’s boat onto your path, leading you to mistakenly bring him back as a treasure! Who do you think he is? He is the Sect Hierarch of the Yin Yang Sect from Central Earth—Yin Yang Elder Situ Lei!"

Having heard this, Wei Yaozhi realized she had been deceived and felt both ashamed and furious, "You old thing, I’m going to fight you to the death!" Draped in her clothes, she also unleashed her Flying Sword and slashed towards the Yin Yang Elder in the clouds.

Yu Xiangzhu’s Flying Sword Technique was formidable. Yin Yang Elder, unarmed, was unable to counter her and could only barely defend himself. He spoke solemnly, "I reincarnated through Soldier Disintegration, intending to take the path of cultivation anew with a child’s body and become a better person. I could never have imagined that I had sinned so much in a past life, to be so taken advantage of! Today’s mistake was unintentional; there is no need for the two Daoist friends to be so enraged. I am also a Sect Hierarch who has cultivated for a thousand years. I do not plan to manage Yin Yang Sect in this life. I am willing to join the smaller Penglai in West Sea Island, to only Dual Cultivate with Daoist friend Wei from now on, to support each other in the future..."

"Shut your mouth!" Wei Yaozhi cursed angrily, "You old dog, I must kill you! If I don’t chop off your dog head, I shan’t bear the name Wei!"

As she spoke, she wielded the Taibai Divine Needle and the Mother-and-Child Nine Palace Rings, two sets of Magical Treasures. Yu Xiangzhu also tapped her bamboo staff, and the sea below exploded like tens of thousands of tons of explosives had detonated.

From their location, the explosive force rapidly extended a hundred miles away. Fish, turtles, shrimps, and crabs were all blown to bits, their remnants and broken bones roiling upwards with the white waves, creating tens of thousands of Gui Water Divine Thunders. Some of these Divine Thunders flew towards Feng Wu, a hundred miles away, while others targeted the Yin Yang Elder.

Feng Wu, fighting Yu Xiangzhu’s Flying Sword a hundred miles away, felt that her sword attacks were too fierce and lethal. After a brief exchange, knowing he was no match, he was about to flee when suddenly, white waves surged beneath him, and with him at the center, within a radius of about ten-plus miles, a huge water ring arose, generating an immense suction force that held his physical form and soul fast.

Feng Wu tried to escape using his Escape Skill but could not move half a step. Astonished and uncertain, he quickly retracted his Flying Sword, attempting to achieve Human Sword Unity and flee, but remained firmly trapped within the circle, unable to escape.

Next, at least fifty thousand Gui Water Divine Thunders emerged from underwater, swarming towards him like bubbles the size of fists.

He was terrified, his liver and gallbladder shattered with fear, hastily brandishing a Treasure to defend himself while in Human Sword Unity, hoping to withstand the barrage. The Divine Thunders struck him relentlessly; with a succession of earth-shattering explosions, he, along with his Treasure and Flying Sword, was blown to smithereens!

As Feng Wu was being bombarded, more than fifty thousand Gui Water Divine Thunders also soared into the clouds to strike at the Yin Yang Elder.

The clouds around the Yin Yang Elder turned completely green, signifying that Yu Xiangzhu had employed a formidable Prohibition Technique, attempting to trap him there before bombarding him with Divine Thunders.

This vile woman actually intended to kill me with such a ruthless hand!

The Yin Yang Elder became furious but still appeared calm on the surface, "If your sect is unwilling to accept this son-in-law, so be it, I shall take my leave!"

Having said that, he pierced through Yu Xiangzhu’s Prohibition with the Five Elements Reversed Immortal Confusion Technique and escaped the green clouds, streaking away towards the east like a fragrant breeze.

"Where do you think you’re going!" Yu Xiangzhu was both shocked and angry. She had not expected the Sect Hierarch of the Yin Yang Sect to be so powerful that he could easily penetrate the Prohibition Technique of her own school. Seeing him trying to escape, she was intolerant and pursued him determinedly with Sword Control.

The Yin Yang Elder had no desire to fight them, seeing it as meaningless. He accelerated his escape with a spell, but Master and disciple Yu Xiangzhu were genuinely enraged, chasing him relentlessly, intent on beating the Yin Yang Elder until his body and soul were destroyed.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang was sitting under a tree on an island thousands of miles away.

Not far from him was a large Monk with a tiger head, a fierce appearance, a bare head marked with scars from burns, wearing an ample monk’s robe, and standing beside him, a Nine-Ring Zen Staff.

He was suppressed on the ground by a Purple and Blue Divine Light, his face showing panic, pleading, "This humble monk was unaware of the boundless mana of the senior and offended you. Please spare this ignorant monk’s life."

"What’s your name? Why did you try to harm me the moment you saw me?" Shi Feiyang asked.

Just moments earlier, as he sat there studying how to break the curse laid by Dongxuan Immortal, this Monk had attempted a sneak attack, employing a highly toxic Evil Technique. Feigning having his soul seized by the Evil Magic, Shi Feiyang lured the attacker closer and immediately suppressed him with the Purple and Blue Divine Light before interrogating him.

This Monk was none other than the Tiger Head Zen Master, no virtuous being himself. Seeing the Nine Suspicions Tripod in front of Shi Feiyang, a valuable Treasure, he had intended to kill and rob, only to be captured and suppressed by Shi Feiyang. Now, lying on the ground like a turtle weighed down by a stone tablet, he was unable to even struggle, reduced to begging miserably for his life.

He sobbed, recounting how Yu Wa’s family had been exceedingly oppressive, stealing the Immortal Herbs he found first, destroying his right leg, killing his disciple, and seizing his cave dwelling... His heart was set on vengeance, and mistaking Shi Feiyang for one of Yu Wa’s accomplices, he had resorted to using spells to set up an ambush.

Shi Feiyang knew that his words did not ring true and naturally did not believe them.

He did not pay much attention to the Tiger Head Zen Master either, focusing mostly on studying the malicious curse on Bai Guanhong, who was inside the Nine Suspicions Tripod.
