“Yo, isn’t this General Che? What is going on, why are you here?”

Yan Yuntian was deep in meditation in the imperial palace of Western Capital. However, his calmed expression suddenly changed when he turned his head and saw Che Renmei being thrown out of a portal. He rolled into Imperial Study with a shocked face. Yan Yuntian went from joy to a slight fear.

“So you two do know each other, I thought he was lying!” Zhou Bao’s voice rang in his ears. His body emerged from the dark portal. “I passed by Mingyi Lane just to see, but I was surrounded by his men. I noticed that they were not from Jin, so I brought him here!”

“Zhou Bao, it’s you-!” Seeing that it was Zhou Bao Yan Yuntian’s horror turned into joy once again. “I have written a long time ago, I thought you were not coming!”

“Oh, I was busy with the Inner Elixir of Fire Kylin, wasn’t I? I didn’t know you were looking for me. Now that I’m done being busy, I’m here, right?!” Zhou Bao smiled and greeted Yan Yuntian politely. No matter what, this guy was his elder, his father-in-law. Manners could not be avoided.

“Your presence is enough, no need to be so polite!” Yan Yuntian could not contain his joy. The two began to chat and forgot about Che Renmei. When Che Renmei heard Yan Yuntian say Zhou Bao’s name, his expression finally changed.

“Zhou Bao, you’re Zhou Bao of Yunzhou, damn it, how dare you? Although you are not listed as a fairy, you are no longer entitled to meddle with earthly matters. How dare you fight me? You’re dead meat, you will be punished, you will be!” Che Renmei pointed at Zhou Bao and shouted.

“Is there something wrong with your brain? Yes, I am no longer to entitled to interfere, but how did I interfere exactly? Do not forget, you were the one who brought your men and surrounded me, it was you who first picked up the fight. You guys searched for your own death. Who can you blame me when it was you who were just sick and tired of living?!” Zhou Bao managed to shut him up with just this one line. After that, he did not have to bother about Che Renmei anymore. He furrowed his eyebrows as he asked Yan Yuntian, “What is exactly happening? Why did the knights of Li dynasty come to the territory of Jin, and yet still so self-proclaiming?!”

“It is a long story!” Yan Yuntian was always filled with anger while talking about this. He used to swallow his anger and wait for it to fade away, but now, seeing how pathetic Che Renmei was, an indescribable joy started to replace the bad feelings. He also found Zhou Bao more pleasing to the eye.

“If it’s a long story then take your time. I have plenty of it since I can’t meddle with earthly matters anymore. It doesn’t hurt to listen to stories. Right, father-in-law!”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Yan Yuntian nodded his head continuously. “Follow me, let’s chat while we drink something!”

“Good!” Seeing Yan Yuntian’s excitement, Zhou Bao could not help but to also smile. He turned and once again grabbed Che Renmei by the collar to follow Yan Yuntian outside.

“Zhou Bao, you cannot do this, you cannot ridicule me. I am here to follow the orders of Senior Grand Tutor Hong. The repairment of School of Five Virtues is a big thing. You doing this means you’re against the School. Yan Yuntan, make him let go!”

Yan Yuntian’s expression turned ugly. Zhou Bao, on the other hand, seemed like he was laughing, almost as if he was watching some kind of joke unfold.

A knight from another dynasty who had become a prisoner dared to shout out the Emperor’s name loudly. Moreover, there was a hint of threat in his tone. That ordering tone was going to bring about a lot of problems.

“Damn it! I did not want to kill you, but what I hate the most is idiots shouting nonsense. Since you want to die so badly, I will fulfill your wishes!”

Before Yan Yuntian could react, Zhou Bao’s slap had already landed on Che Renmei’s helmet.

With a boom, Che Renmei followed his fellow subordinates to death.

“Good, now the world is quiet and clean!”

“You-!” Yan Yuntian did not expect Zhou Bao to kill just like that. He could not hide his laughter, “This is fine too, him being dead is good, he was an eyesore!”

“Yes, he was indeed an eyesore. But my father-in-law is not someone who can withstand this kind of thing!”

“It was before and it is still now too!” Yan Yuntian sighed. He patted Zhou Bao’s shoulders and pointed to the hut in front, “Come on, let’s go over and talk!”

“Fine!”

The duo arrived at the hut, where a maid was already serving tea and desserts. The wind was soothing and refreshing, and Yan Yuntian started his tale, “You already know this, but the last time well-known families broke into a fight, Mingyi School was destroyed. However, not all was lost. Mingyi School may be gone, but a more powerful School of Five Virtues is coming!”

“School of Five Virtues entering my Central Mainland Region is a bigger threat to the four big sects. I have no idea what that old bastard was thinking, letting them in!”

“Hmph, what else is there to do other than coming in?!” Yan Yuntian smiled coldly. “The Human Emperor-selecting Ceremony is coming soon. This has been organized by the Divine Wind Palace for millions of years. If we don’t let School of Five Virtues in, I will not have the entitlement to partake in the competition. Although they are not a decisive factor, they have a pretty huge influence. The theory of a Human Emperor has always been preached by the School of Five Virtues in the Four Eastern Regions. That was how Mingyi School came about. In each dynasty, the four Divine Regions have big influence!”

“Then what has the Li dynasty got to do with this? If I remember correctly, the Emperor of Li dynasty seems to be your rival!”

“You’re right, he is indeed the most suitable candidate. He is also the biggest target of the support from Scool of Five Virtues. However, they will not bet all on just one competitor. After all, they don’t have control over the whole ceremony!”

“You are their other target, so you have no choice but to give in!?”

“You’re right. Their main bet is on Emperor Yang. The roots of the School of Five Virtues are very deep among the Li dynasty. In fact, they have been inseparable from the Li dynasty for a long time. Senior Grand Tutor Hong of Li dynasty is from the Hong family of the Divine Wind Palace. At the same time, he is also a supporter of the School of Five Virtues. The Divine Cavalry is formed by his direct descendant. This time around, the School of Five Virtues wanted to set up some influence in Jin, that’s why Senior Grand Tutor Hong sent Che Renmei and his men. I was in no place to reject, but I was also scared that they would cause trouble. That’s why I sealed up the land of Minyi Lane. I could’ve never guessed that you would go there and even run into them!”

“Sealed up the place? Even if you seal it up, it is still land of the Jin dynasty and the Central Mainland Region. A foreigner is in no place to be so arrogant!” Zhou Bao said with a bitter smile. He lifted up his cup and took a big gulp. “Father-in-law, I’m not complaining, but you can’t go easy on people like that. Once you do, they’ll take advantage of you and do all sorts of things!”

“Indeed, you’re right, this is the land of Jin, I cannot be polite to them!” Yan Yuntian slapped the table violently. He pointed at Zhou Bao and shouted excitedly, “Kid, you and I agreed for the first time. Come, let us replace wine with tea, cheers!”

“Okay, cheers!” Zhou Bao smiled and lifted up his cup, but before he could finish his tea, an angry voice rumbled across the room.

“Who is it, who had the guts to do such an evil thing!” A white-clothed man appeared in front of the hut in a flash. He looked at the two of them with a sick expression. He placed Che Renmei’s headless corpse on the ground. “Who, who did this?!”

“Who is this again?!” Zhou Bao scanned the man unconsciously. His smile widened.

“This is an Individual Immortal. Even if we kill him, no one can say anything.”

“This fella has such strong murderous intent. I just arrived and he already wants to kill me. Shit, if such a guy exists in Central Mainland Region, something bad is going to happen to our plan!” Sensing Zhou Bao’s crazy eagerness to kill, the man’s expression changed. He tried to relax his stern expression, but you could still see the tension on it.

“Zhi IX of the School of Five Virtues, I’ve come to see Brother Yan!” This guy was Zhi IX, he greeted Yan Yuntian and then looked at Zhou Bao. “If I haven’t seen wrongly, Your Excellency must be Zhou Bao of Yunzhou? Indeed, you live up to your name. However, you come and kill my people in the Divine Wind Palace, don’t you have an explanation for me? This time, Divine Cavalry came to repair the School of Five Virtues but also to help with the alliance of the Li and Jin dynasties. Is this how Jin dynasty treats our alliance?!”

“This…!” Zhi Xi was offended and demanded an explanation. Yan Yuntian was after the Human Emperor’s position, so he had to give a thought to this ‘explanation’. “Now some of your potential allies are killed in your territory, you must have had a reason, right?” After being asked by Zhi IX, Yan Yuntian froze. Before he could even form a sentence, Zhou Bao, who was beside him, sneered.

“Alliance? Alliance my foot! Who would ever want an alliance with that asshole’s Li dynasty!” Zhou Bao said that with complete disdain. “Hundreds of miles away, that’s where I want that alliance!”

Now, it was Zhi IX’s turn to respond. He stared at Zhou Bao, “You’re the King Wuyang of Jin, that I know for sure, but I didn’t know you were also the Emperor of Jin. If you say that the alliance is broken off, will it really be off?!”

“I was just joking!” Zhou Bao smiled, “But Your Excellency, I feel that this is really strange!”

“What’s strange?!”

“I killed those guys because they knocked into me, that’s why I started the fight. It’s not against the rules of meddling with earthly matters. You, Zhi IX, are an Individual Immortal. You should have been out of the three realms a long time ago, no longer in the five elements. What has the relationship between Jin dynasty and Li dynasty got to do with you? What are you doing here? Aren’t you afraid of the Law of Heaven? Oh yes, you have already gone against one, now I think I have to punish you!” Zhou Bao widened his grin and broke into a weird almost psychotic laughter.
