Chapter 375: Chapter 375 – Each Have Sinister Designs

As he passed through the Chiwei Empire, Zhou Xuanji did not stop; he was not interested in that mysterious old ancestor.

However, when he had almost flown out of the Chiwei Empire’s border, a voice called out to him.

“Please wait, Sword Emperor!” Zhou Xuanji stopped and looked back.

He saw a white-haired elder sitting on a red bottle gourd flying towards him. He was quite short and his face looked like a red date. As he looked at Zhou Xuanji, his gaze danced with a mysterious expression.

Zhou Xuanji looked at him and waited for him to speak.

Since this fellow could catch up to him, his cultivation naturally was not simple. By Zhou Xuanji’s estimate, this person had at least Second Tribulation Scattered Immortal cultivation, if not Third Tribulation Scattered Immortal.

There was actually such an expert hidden in the Chiwei Empire.

“Is the Sword Emperor going to deal with Spirit Sovereign Yan?” The white-haired elder bowed with his hands held in front as he asked.

Zhou Xuanji calmly asked, “What do you have to say?”

The white-haired elder hurriedly explained, “I hold no ill-intent towards you. My name is Chi Wei, and I am the founding Emperor of the Chiwei Empire. I am also on Spirit Sovereign Yan’s kill list.”

Founding Emperor Chi Wei!

Zhou Xuanji understood in a flash. He remembered this name, but because he did not know him personally, he did not think too much about it.

“You want to ally with me?” Zhou Xuanji asked. With his strength, this old fellow could at most only tie down a few Heavenly Guards, and he was far from enough to threaten Spirit Sovereign Yan.

Founding Emperor Chi Wei nodded and bitterly smiled as he said, “I know the Heavenly Palace’s goal as well as Spirit Sovereign Yan’s selfish motives. Even though I cannot help you in battle, I can help you with strategies and advice.”

After speaking, he waved his right hand, and a formless barrier covered the two of them. At a glance, the two of them seemed to have disappeared, and even divine sense would not be able to enter the barrier.

Zhou Xuanji asked in curiosity, “They have their own sinister designs? It’s not just to take revenge for Tian?”

Founding Emperor Chi Wei nodded and said, “The Northern Wilderness is entering a World Epoch. The Heavenly Palace wants to support the new leading role of the world and control the Fate of the Northern Wilderness. In the Upper Realm, some powerful factions even have control over many mortal worlds. They rule as Immortal Gods in the mortal worlds, and the Heavenly Palace is one of them. In the Upper Realm, true Immortal Gods exist, but they are high up and distant, and they do not get involved in conflicts.

“Spirit Sovereign Yan volunteered for this mission not because he is loyal to the Heavenly Palace but because of the Fate Emperor River and his son. His son was demoted down to the mortal realm, and he wants to help his son become a Great Emperor and leave the control of the Heavenly Palace.”

Zhou Xuanji frowned; he had never thought that the Upper Realm would be so complicated.

It seemed like that lackey, Spirit Sovereign Yan, had his own plans; also, who was his son?

“I don’t know who Spirit Sovereign Yan’s son is, but he definitely has immense talent. You need to be careful—even if you kill Spirit Sovereign Yan, his son might rise up and take revenge for his father,” Founding Emperor Chi Wei said as he sighed. He felt quite wary towards Spirit Sovereign Yan’s son, even more so than towards Spirit Sovereign Yan.

Zhou Xuanji narrowed his eyes as he asked, “How do you know so much?”

Founding Emperor Chi Wei did not hide anything and said, “My ancestor ascended and spoke to me through a dream 3,000 years ago. That was why I hid myself afterwards.”

Zhou Xuanji could not help but feel amazed; why was everything connected to the Upper Realm?

It felt like this world was the Upper Realm’s toy or chess board.

“What do you want me to do?” Zhou Xuanji asked. After saying all this, surely he wouldn’t tell him to still directly go and fight Spirit Sovereign Yan.

Founding Emperor Chi Wei said in a low voice, “Go and take control of Fate Emperor River. You will definitely be injured in your battle against Spirit Sovereign Yan, and his son might take this opportunity to take Fate Emperor River. When the time comes...”

He did not continue to speak.

Zhou Xuanji raised his eyebrows and asked in a ridiculing tone, “Will Fate Emperor River belong to me, or to you?”

After all, they were talking about a river of Great Emperors.

Founding Emperor Chi Wei shrugged and said, “It will naturally belong to you. Even if I possess Fate Emperor River, I will not be able to become a Great Emperor, but you are different. After you ascend, my family can support you and help you rise to the peak. All we hope for is that you do not forget our help.”

Zhou Xuanji smiled and asked, “Is Fate Emperor River at Sun Hill or the Hunyuan Empire?”

“Sun Hill; Fate Emperor River is very difficult to move,” Founding Emperor Chi Wei replied. Following this, the two of them started to head towards Sun hill.

...

North Overlook Ridge, Ice Palace.

Spirit Sovereign Yan sat on the main seat, his expression dark.

There were hundreds of Heavenly Guards gathered in the palace, all of them looking quite nervous.

“Has he still not been found?” Spirit Sovereign Yan asked in a low voice. He was not asking about Zhou Xuanji or Baihao Yixin but his son.

A Heavenly Guard with a horn stepped forwards and cupped his fists as he said, “Ji Xian has reincarnated for a long time and his fate has long since changed, so it is very difficult to find him. We need time.”

Upon bringing up Ji Xian, the Heavenly Guards’ expressions became somewhat strange.

They all knew that Ji Xian was a criminal of the Heavenly Palace, so why was Spirit Sovereign Yan looking for him?

They did not dare to ask; after all, this was the mortal realm and they were unable to contact the Heavenly Palace, and they could only rely on Spirit Sovereign Yan.

“Continue to find him. Also, have you found Fate Emperor River?” Spirit Sovereign Yan said as he waved his hand in annoyance. Ever since he had been injured by Baihao Yixin’s self-destruction, his soul had been injured and he could not fully recover from his physical body’s injuries, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

“We have found it; it is at Sun Hill. The owner, Yang Di, has moved to the Hunyuan Empire, so we can take over Fate Emperor River at any moment,” another Heavenly Guard said as Spirit Sovereign Yan nodded.

This made him feel quite pleased.

“Keep an eye on it,” Spirit Sovereign Yan ordered. Following this, his tone changed and his expression became savage, “To date, not a single person on the suppression list has died; those from above are very displeased with us, so we need to force them out. Head to the Eight Sanctums and Seven Empires to capture people. All of you capture 10,000 people and bring them here. Announce to the world that we will capture 10,000 people every month until Zhou Xuanji and Baihao Yixin reveal themselves.”

The Heavenly Guards nodded and did not feel any guilt.

After all, the Northern Wilderness’ human race’s fate had been exhausted, and even if they died, it would not be a pity.

“Also, send five Fifth Tribulation Scattered Immortals overseas to find suitable races and help them enter the Northern Wilderness,” Spirit Sovereign Yan said. Once the human race perished, a new race should take their place.

In the grand scheme of things, the demise of a race was not a big deal.

...

At Sun hill, Zhou Xuanji and Founding Emperor Chi Wei traveled quickly above the clouds. Looking at the boundless mountains and forests, Zhou Xuanji said in amazement, “This place has verdant hills and limpid water, and the spirit qi is quite dense. It is a good place for cultivating.”

Founding Emperor Chi Wei nodded and said, “It’s all thanks to Fate Emperor River.”

He was proficient in Fate techniques and could divine the position of Fate Emperor River.

The two of them flew into a forest without slowing down.

Soon, they stopped in front of a waterfall. This waterfall was 300 meters tall and the water surged violently. As the water slammed into the rocks below, countless diamond-like pearls of water would rise into the air.

“The entrance is within the waterfall. There is a mountain path within, which connects to an underground region,” Founding Emperor Chi Wei said. He waved his right hand, and following this, three groans sounded out from the trees opposite the water.

Sun Hill looked empty, but Yang Di had nurtured many elites.

However, when these elites faced off against Great Tribulation Scattered Immortals, they could not escape from death.

Following this, Zhou Xuanji and Founding Emperor Chi Wei flew into the waterfall.

After a while, a ball of demonic qi flew over and shot into the waterfall as well.
