“Big Brother, are you alright?” Qi Lin was covered in wounds, a sight so wretched it made Qi Qi feel pity.
“I’m fine, this is nothing.” Qi Lin smiled and stroked her head. All of his blood and qi seemed to have been sucked away, and his strength was completely spent. He had barely finished patting her head when he nearly fainted over.
Qi Qi hugged her big brother, and it was only then that Qi Lin noticed that the girl was cutting a very sorry figure herself. She was covered in cuts and bruises, and her golden chainmail was already shattered. Very clearly, she had expended a lot of effort to handle the four Chiyou doppelgangers.
Lingmeng the peacock flew down from the horizon and alighted on Qi Lin’s shoulder, whereupon she gracefully and gently preened her feathers.
At this time, a little girl slowly walked over from a distance.
She had wheat-colored skin, was dressed lightly, and her long, black hair was tied up. The girl’s eyes were pitch-black, just like a starless night, dark as a black hole. Qi Lin’s heart seized, for the girl who had suddenly appeared carried formidable pressure. Although her pace was so easygoing and carefree, she nevertheless gave him a sense of intimidation like he was about to be eaten.
Qi Lin was already without any strength to face the new enemy. He could only circulate the last bit of his magical energy and allow at least Qi Qi to escape.
“Brother, she is Chiyou.” Qi Qi bit her lip, her arms clinging to him even tighter.
“What? Chiyou!!”
Qi Lin was astonished. This tiny girl was Chiyou? He had seen Chiyou at Mount Tu, and she was considerably tall and majestic, her every gesture and word looking down on the Thirty-three Devas with the spirit of contempt. She was completely unlike the girl in front of him.
Chiyou stood in front of the trio and so carefreely at that. Although she was very short, her eyes nevertheless naturally brimmed with a kind of disdain. That was a kind of arrogance that made people genuinely feel inferior.
Just from first impressions, Qi Lin believed this was the real Chiyou.
Chiyou stared at Qi Lin silently, his ragged body reflected in her abyssal pupils. She opened her palm, and the Chiyou Banner in midair retracted the blood-mist and lights before shrinking down back to her palm.
“This Lord demands your Divine Cauldron.” Chiyou calmly requested.
Qi Lin knew he was unable to refuse her and relinquished the Divine Cauldron.
Chiyou then seized Qi Lin’s Divine Cauldron as well as the one that Gongyang Tu left behind, storing them in void space.
Just as she was prepared to leave, the little girl turned back to look at Qi Lin. Then, she bit open her fingertip and let a droplet of blood fall onto the Chiyou Banner. Subsequently, a scarlet light shot out from the Chiyou Banner and straight into Qi Lin’s mouth.
Qi Lin did not even see what happened before he swallowed that blood-light into his stomach. All of a sudden, the blood throughout his entire body seemed to boil.
“What are you doing!!” Qi Qi was furious.
Chiyou turned and left.
In the end, Qi Qi did not pursue Chiyou, reason being she knew that she was no match.
“Brother.”
Qi Lin shook his head. His injuries were very severe, and facing off against both Gongyang Tu and Xiang Liu was already very draining; he could faint at any moment. That blood-light that Chiyou had shot out just now instead had warmed his body a bit, alleviating him enormously.
“Chiyou is so powerful, Qi Qi and I honestly couldn’t beat her.” Nezha was nearby, speechless.
As it turned out, Qi Qi had already slain two of Chiyou’s doppelgangers moments earlier. Who could have thought that the real Chiyou would show up. They had originally thought that they were dead for sure, but they did not expect that Chiyou would merely knock Qi Qi and Nezha down, not dealing any finishing blows at all. To her, this was like a lesson, which left the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven very frustrated.
“If Master were here, not even she could kill her with certainty.” Nezha said. “It’s a pity that the Divine Cauldrons were taken by her, though.” Nezha was very regretful as she recalled those four Divine Cauldrons. Even their own had been seized.
This meant that Chiyou had obtained seven of the Divine Cauldrons.
The last was with Nüba.
In the end, all of their efforts had turned into a harvest for Chiyou. They had failed at the final moment, and this made Nezha very angry.
“It’s fine.” Qi Lin did not mind at all, for he still had the Emperor Yao Jewel. That was the most important item in all of the Divine Palace, the true treasure that Emperor Yao guarded so meticulously.
Qi Lin showed a pained expression.
“Brother.”
“Qi Lin, what’s the matter?”
The two girls were a bit worried.
Qi Lin sensed his bloodflow was growing increasingly fast, as if it was becoming magma. Slowly, his consciousness turned heavier and heavier. He strained with all his might to keep himself from fainting over, but that burning, magma-like blood brought an agony that gave him no opportunity to catch his breath at all. He stumbled a few steps, and immediately lost consciousness, falling into Qi Qi’s chest.
“Let’s hurry back.”
Nezha hastily said.
“En.”
Not even Qi Qi dared to linger here.
…
On a cloud very far away, Nüba and Fenghou had observed everything that transpired.
Though she could not see clearly what transpired in the blood-mist, the events that occurred afterwards were crystal clear. A mysterious masked woman fled in an instant, then Chiyou appeared and took the Divine Cauldrons while Qi Lin fainted.
“I did not expect Gongyang Tu to actually be a Divine Emissary.” Nüba was very surprised that this man was unexpectedly so adept at hiding this. For a hundred years in the Northern Primordial, no one was able to see through this Gongyang Tu.
He had never revealed his Divine General all this time.
“Xiang Liu? She was formerly one of the Primal Chaos Heavenly Court’s Twelve Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Generals.” Fenghou’s pupils slightly contracted. This Divine Name was not average at all.
The Twelve Primal Chaos Heavenly Demon Generals were also called the “Twelve Primal Chaos Demon Marquis,” and they were governors of certain areas, ruling over the twelve most vicious domains of the Heavenly Court from those times.
“Even Xiang Liu has been born.”
“This Register Of Deities will be very interesting.”
“But I truly could never have imagined that even Xiang Liu did not kill Qi Lin. This man is truly lucky.” Nüba was a bit impressed and was very curious about Qi Lin.
“Your Highness, rather than say he is lucky, it would be better to say that this man possesses strength beyond our imagination that can save his life.” Fenghou reminded her to not underestimate him. To be able to defeat Gongyang Tu and Xiang Liu while under the Chiyou Banner, few Divine Names in the current Northern Primordial could achieve that.
“En.”
Nüba was a bit absentminded as she stared at Qi Lin’s expression, lost in thought.
“Your Highness.” Fenghou warned.
Just as Nüba was about to leave, Fenghou shouted all of a sudden. She moved her hands, turning wind into a thread that wrapped around them both from all directions.
But this enormous divine net hardly put up a resistance as it was ripped to shreds by an even more powerful force.
A girl stepped onto the divine net and looked down at them from high above.
Nüba and Fenghou were immediately ashen-faced.
Chiyou.
The actual Chiyou herself.
Different from her doppelgangers, the real Chiyou was a bit tiny, like an immature girl, but her ice-cold arrogant eyes showed a contempt for all so-called divine mights and elders.
Fenghou had already hid them very proficiently, and she did not expect they would be attacked.
“Lord Of War Chiyou, I truly did not expect you to show up personally at Mount Tu.” Nüba forced a smile. Now that her mother and Chiyou were in a war, both sides were enemies, as they say. Even if Chiyou killed her right now, that would be very normal.
“This Lord demands the Divine Cauldron.”
Chiyou said.
Nüba’s expression slightly changed, but she maintained her smile: “Young Lord Qi Lin said the Divine Cauldrons can control the floods. Lord Of War Chiyou, you care deeply for the Northern Primordial, too, but it would best for our three groups to join forces.”
“Give it.”
Chiyou spat, her words allowing no room for refusal.
Nüba knew she could not refuse, otherwise she would face reprisal from Chiyou. “Since the Lord Of War wants to control the floods, I shall hand it over to you. So long as it is done for the Northern Primordial, it matters not who controls the floods.”
She said and brought out the Divine Cauldron.
It expanded, reaching several zhang in size.
“Zhijing.” The woman shouted.
Fenghou knew what to do and immediately used her Chaos Rank.
A fierce wind blew from every direction through Heaven and Earth.
Chiyou tyrannically confiscated this Divine Cauldron. After the gust calmed, Nüba and Fenghou were already gone.
The girl was not interested in giving chase. Seizing all of the Divine Cauldrons from Emperor Yao’s divine palace was satisfactory.
…
In the whirlwind, Fenghou was escaping with Nüba.
Nüba sighed in relief once she saw Chiyou was not pursuing.
“Your Highness.” Fenghou was very worried.
“This is bad, letting Chiyou obtain all of the Divine Cauldrons.” Nüba also knew that the situation had become very serious, “Mother’s Feng And Shan Sacrifices are in two days. I only hope that nothing happens.”
“Let us hurry back.”
