Chapter 385: Chapter 90: Zhao Huai’s Fury, The Heavenly Devil Palace Will Fall!
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Huai returned to Yan Tang Manor after settling the demons in Yunxu Small World.
Before entering the gate, he saw a group of cultivators in blue robes riding flying swords, hovering above the mansion.
“Are these… Immortal Sect disciples?”
Zhao Huai glanced at the disciples and noticed that their cultivation wasn’t low. Ordinary sects definitely couldn’t cultivate such talents, so they must have come from the Spiritual Mountains.
It was rare for the Spiritual Mountains to send people to Nanyu Prefecture to discuss matters with the Yan Country.
“You must be the Royal Crown Prince Zhao Huai.”
Before Zhao Huai could think more, a woman in a blue dress walked out of the courtyard. She had delicate features and exuded a graceful and elegant aura.
“Who are you?”
Zhao Huai was very puzzled and wondered what the other party was planning to do.
The woman in the blue dress performed a light bow and introduced herself:
“I am the Qingling Sect Hierarch, Shen Yuanshuang, from the Spiritual Mountains. I came here to report an important matter.”
Shen Yuanshuang was aware that Zhao Huai’s current cultivation and status were far superior to the past. Furthermore, the victory in the Battle of the West was due to Zhao Huai, who was no longer just the Crown Prince of Yan Country but could be regarded as the Lord of the Yan. Therefore, she respectfully used the word “you” when speaking.
Shadows were moving behind her, as Yu Qinghan, Song Zhishu, and Granny Su Li, among others, came out from the inner courtyard. Song Zhishu had a solemn face, while Yu Qinghan looked extremely worried, her eyes filled with a thick killing intent.
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing this scene, Zhao Huai had a foreboding feeling in his heart.
Shen Yuanshuang, a peak cultivator at the Rebirth Realm, waved her wide sleeves as a scene of lifelike battles, engulfed by raging flames and billowing black smoke, appeared before their eyes on a spiritual jade carving. She explained:
“A few hours ago, the Spiritual Mountains were suddenly attacked by the Devil Sect. They mobilized warships from the Middle Ages and a large number of Metamorphosis Stage powerhouses to seize the second Ancestral Weapon. Fortunately, the Spiritual Mountains were well prepared for the battle. Plus, the rules of the Universal Chess Game prevented the Devil Sect’s Metamorphosis Stage and higher beings from taking action, so the loss of cultivators was not significant. However, there is one matter that is quite tricky.”
“I hope you can remain calm after I tell you.”
“Go ahead.”
Zhao Huai realized the seriousness of the problem and said in a deep voice.
Shen Yuanshuang paused for a moment, her face looking unwell, and then said solemnly:
“Your daughter, Zhao Ruyue, has been kidnapped by Demonbred Situ Huan.”
The moment the news came out, Zhao Huai’s eyes narrowed, and an astonishing momentum emanated from him, spreading out in all directions like boundless sword qi, startling everyone around.
“What exactly happened!”
Zhao Huai squinted his eyes dangerously, his tone icy-cold, and his voice was several degrees colder.
Shen Yuanshuang sighed and said, “The Devil Sect is still trying to break the Devil Lord’s Seal, and they’re after the Ancestral Weapon. They somehow obtained information about the hidden Ancestral Weapon within the Limitless Immortal Sect. This Ancestral Weapon is a supreme immortal sword left behind by Ancestor Yan Zu while traveling across the world, one of the life-bound magical treasures.”
Zhao Huai said coldly, “I don’t care about the Ancestral Weapon. I only care about Ping’an and Ruyue. How is Ping’an now?”
At this moment, Song Zhishu and Yu Qinghan walked over. Song Zhishu took the initiative to speak:
“Situ Huan sneaked into the Spiritual Mountains, not to the sword pavilion, but to the Red Dust Immortal Peak. He kidnapped Zhao Ping’an and Zhao Ruyue and broke through the layers of encirclement. Left Agricultural Commander of Medicine Pill Valley, one of the Five Immortal Sects, used his divine skill, but only managed to rescue Zhao Ping’an. Zhao Ruyue was taken away by the teleportation formation…”
“Damn it!”
Zhao Huai interjected angrily before Song Zhishu finished, and with one step, he crushed the hard marble floor, leaving a large pit.
At this moment, his heart was filled with towering rage, and his eyes were filled with guilt and self-blame.
As a father, he was a failure.
He couldn’t even protect his own children and wife. Years ago, Yu Qinghan gave birth to their children, and he wasn’t there, so he was forced to send Zhao Ping’an and Zhao Ruyue to the Spiritual Mountains. Now, Zhao Ruyue was even kidnapped by Situ Huan.
The image of their happy family by the lake at Red Dust Immortal Peak years ago surfaced in his mind. Those memories were very clear, but it had been five years since he had last seen his children.
He couldn’t imagine what kind of torture Zhao Ruyue would suffer if she was taken by the Devil Sect!
Since she shared Zhao Huai’s bloodline, she was also a descendant of Ancestor Yan Zu.Devil Lord will definitely use her to unlock the seal and treat her as a sacrifice. In other words, Ru Yue is in a very dangerous situation now.
What would he become if his daughter died because of him?
Perhaps he would be tainted by his inner demon, or be filled with guilt for the rest of his life, never being able to let go?
He hadn’t truly accompanied his daughter or fulfilled his responsibility as a father. How could he let this go?
If even the people he cared about the most couldn’t be protected, what was the point of achieving immortality and great cultivation, no matter how strong it was?
No, he must head to the Heavenly Devil Palace and rescue Ru Yue!
Zhao Huai shouted in his heart, his eyes suddenly turning incredibly sharp, like a beast looking for its prey.
At this moment, his aura suddenly increased wildly, uncontrollable, and rushed out, creating a surge of wind that left the people around unable to open their eyes.
At this moment, a pair of slender jade hands clasped his palm. The warmth of the palm made Zhao Huai slightly stunned.
A soft, hoarse but pleasant voice sounded.
“Husband, I know you’re anxious now, because I feel the same way. The Devil Sect’s strength is very strong now, with many Devil ancestors stationed there, while our Immortal Sect’s strength is scattered and barely able to defend. There is no way we could launch an active attack. Our combined strength is not enough. It is not a prudent move to act rashly.”
Yu Qinghan patiently explained, her eyes full of concern.
As Ru Yue’s mother, she naturally worried about her daughter’s safety. Still, she was more afraid that Zhao Huai would lose control of himself, fall into his inner demon, and then go alone to take revenge on the Devil Sect to save her daughter, falling deep into the Devil Sect’s encirclement.
She did not want to see this happen.
Hearing Madam’s advice, Zhao Huai finally calmed down.
Madam was right. If he went to the Heavenly Devil Palace, he might not be able to handle the multiple Metamorphosis Realm ancestors above taking action.
Seeing Zhao Huai’s aura weakened, the people around him sighed in relief.
No one could persuade Zhao Huai, only Yu Qinghan could.
In Zhao Huai’s mind, the destiny of [Three Flowers Gathering at the Top] slowly operated, and a coolness surged in his heart. His inner demon was immediately suppressed, his face relaxed, and his eyes turned cold:
“Rescuing Ru Yue cannot be done hastily and requires careful planning, but it must also be done quickly. The Devil Sect’s people took her away to unlock the Devil Lord’s seal, and if Situ Huan succeeds, it will be a disaster.”
“Your Highness is right, it hasn’t been long since the Devil Sect’s surprise attack on the Spiritual Mountains. They won’t be able to hold a ceremony so soon, so we still have some time and must seize it.”
Song Zhishu nodded in agreement.
Shen Yuanshuang pondered for a moment and said seriously, “We can ask the Eternal Taoist Temple Master to take action and use the Universal Chess Game to locate Situ Huan’s current position. Although the Temple Master cannot take action against the enemy, he should have no problem finding people.”
“In that case, I will head to the Spiritual Mountains immediately.”
“Husband, I’ll go with you.”
“No, it’s too risky. You go with Granny Su Li to the Central State Border to intercept. You might be able to stop them, but be careful and don’t approach the Metamorphosis Realm powers rashly.”
“Alright.”
Yu Qinghan could only nod.
“Song Zhishu, the defense of Yan Country is up to you. As for Shen Yuer and some cultivators, pack up and head to the north. Make the arrangements.”
“Understood, Your Highness.”
Song Zhishu bowed and took the order.
After arranging everything, the Sword-Nurturing Gourd at Zhao Huai’s waist flashed, and a flying sword emerged, ready to head to the Spiritual Mountains immediately.
Shen Yuanshuang followed closely behind on one side.
Looking at the white clouds and mountains, Zhao Huai’s eyes sharpened as he said:
“I, Zhao Huai, swear that as long as I am still alive, the Heavenly Devil Palace will surely perish!”
