A golden dragon towed the carriage. Founding Dragon Ying Zheng sat within, her expression stiff and silent. No one could ascertain what she was pondering about.
Ancient Qin’s Four Generals were by her side, absolutely quiet. Their expressions were all pale, indeterminately glum.
“Your Majesty, you are injured.” Wang Jian spotted a trickle of blood leak from the corner of Ying Zheng’s mouth.
The woman lapped back up the blood; it was sweet, “Unimaginable, unimaginable. We never expected to see that Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong.”
The Founding Dragon broke the silence. Only then did the rest dare to speak.
“This should have been an exceptional opportunity for Your Majesty to set the Yin Shang back, yet we never anticipated the the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven would hinder us and make Your Majesty’s plan fail at the last moment.” Li Mu muttered. She seemed very unresigned, but she had no choice. That insolent monkey Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong’s Realm was too high. Ten thousand years ago, she ran amok, turning even the Divine Country upside-down. But who could have thought she would appear in the Western Primordial.
Mount Huaguo in the Eastern Province was where she was widely known.
“Hm.” Ying Zheng looked at the Founding Dragon Jade Seal in her hand. It was already cracked.
“Wen Zhong definitely will not let the matter rest. She will surely go find someone to kill Sun Wukong and seize her Destiny. If we let her have her way, then Yin Shang’s fate will be unshakeable for anyone from this Register Of Deities.” Li Mu said.
The wrinkles in Ying Zheng’s forehead deepened, but she had been seriously wounded by Sun Wukong’s attack, already unable to pose any threat. “Since this is the case, We shall go make a request of Great Emperor Gou Chen.”1
Divine Name Great Emperor Gou Chen and the Founding Dragon enjoyed an amiable relationship, and her Realm was also insurmountable.
“Your Majesty, please allow Subordinate to speak.” Wang Jian’s brows rose.
“Hm?”
“Subordinate feels it better to not provoke this Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong.” Wang Jian paused.
The others stared at her. Li Mu admonished Wang Jian: “How can we let this slip by when the Western Primordial has a Divine Name like Great Sage Equal of Heaven!! If we can kill her right now while she is still immature, Her Majesty’s Destiny will advance a step. Then, we will not need to fear the Yin Shang.”
“Allow Jue’er to finish.”
Wang Jue had already thought of a statement: “The emissary of the Great Sage Equal of Heaven has been blessed by the Holy Beast to be a Qilin Child. Her Realm is also very formidable, and that Sun Wukong is unyielding. Should we provoke her further, should we keep ourselves on her mind, it will be difficult to protect the Ancient Qin’s Destiny.” Pausing for a moment, she then said: “Besides, that young man has also seized the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banner. Subordinate feels that Guiguzi has also intentionally favored him. That young man’s background is absolutely exceptional, not simple. If we provoke them for no reason, the Ancient Qin’s situation will be disadvantageous.”
Everyone sunk into contemplation.
Ying Zheng nodded. What Wang Jian said was somewhat reasonable.
“Then since Sun Wukong has been born, sweeping over the whole world, why not let the Yin Shang go offend her. Furthermore, Your Majesty also has the ‘Immortality Banquet.’ This is what is most important.”
“However, to let Sun Wukong go like this makes Us feel very unresigned. And that young man, We are also a bit interested to know just how he can be with the Great Sage Equal of Heaven.” The girl wrinkled her brow, a bit confused.
Li Mu said: “This General has a plan.”
“Speak.”
“Your Majesty simply needs to inform Great Emperor Gou Chen of this matter. Whether or not Great Emperor Gou Chen kills Sun Wukong will be up to her own discretion. We need only stand and watch. To the Ancient Qin, this is not disadvantageous. If Great Emperor Gou Chen kills Sun Wukong, Your Majesty will owe her a favor. Even if she does not, given Great Emperor Gou Chen’s ‘Ten Thousand Gods Diagram,’ that Great Sage Equal Of Heaven will also be unable to kill her.”
“Good, this matter is settled.” Ying Zheng said in satisfaction: “We will go visit Elder Sister Gou Chen and speak with her regarding Sun Wukong. Soon enough, news of Sun Wukong’s emergence in the Western Primordial will spread.”
Wang Jian was silent.
Ying Zheng spurred the dragon carriage to fly in a different direction.
…
A wooden hut in a mountain. The tall mountain had a flowing creek, singing birds, and fragrant flowers.
Qi Lin practiced his staff technique outside the hut. He borrowed Qi Qi’s Meteoric Iron Divine Staff and wielded it in his hands with flourish. In the past, Qi Lin’s tomb-raider family had practiced martial arts from a young age. He had learned Yue School, Yang School, Zhao School, and Yin Script schools of spearmanship, and his mastery was considered top-notch.
Seeing the staff in Qi Qi’s hands, he could not help but wield it himself.
“Your big brother’s technique isn’t bad.” Su Qin watched Qi Lin practice, her eyes aglow.
Qi Lin was practicing combining it with the Dual Modes Seal, making every one of his attacks carry softness in its hardness and hardness in its softness. He coupled strength and gentleness very easily. Su Qin craftily smiled, and a sword-light flew out from the sword box on her back down towards Qi Lin.
The white rainbow sword-light was very swift, like a soaring bird.
The divine staff in Qi Lin’s hand was raised, striking the sword-light.
“Senior Sister will help you train.” Su Qin formed a hand seal.
That sword-light slashed with even more spectacle and speed.
“Just what I wanted.” Qi Lin swung the staff, its gust combining strength and gentleness. Countless staff-shadows raised a barrier in front of him that did not let these sword-lights breach through.
Su Qin recalled the sword-light back to the sword box.
“As expected of a Qilin Child. Just a bit of practice, and you’ve advanced so much.” Su Qin said enviously.
A Qilin Child was an absolute genius of Primordial World, rare as few phoenix feathers in all the realm such that they could be counted on fingers. The upper limit of potential for these people tended towards that of Divine Names. She had never imagined this junior brother’s luck would be so good that he would be able to receive the Holy Beast’s blessing and become a Qilin Child.
Qi Lin returned the staff to Qi Qi: “Is Shang Yangjun better?
“Your sweetheart is fine. She just needs some time to heal, but what about you.” Su Qin asked.
“I’m very good.” Qi Lin was more or less recovered. It was just that Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banner that was a bit harder to train.
Su Qin shook her head. She was not referring to this.
“Qi Qi’s Divine Name has already been exposed. It will be very dangerous for her to remain in the Western primordial.” Su Qin said. Although Qi Qi entered High Ancient Divine Realm because of the qillin’s Divine Energy, she dropped down to Middle Ancient Divine Realm after it ebbed away. To face everyone’s encirclement again, it would perhaps be very difficult for her to remain unrivalled.
At this moment, Guiguzi Wang Xu walked out: “The Western Province’s Five Dragon Mouths has a Divine Name, Erlang Shen Yang Jian. She and Wen Zhong share a good relationship. For the humiliation Wen Zhong suffered this time, and given Di Xin’s personality, they will surely ask Yang Jian to face you two.”
“Yang Jian?!” Qi Lin felt danger upon hearing this name.
“That Erlang Shen? Then let her come.” Qi Qi was not one to admit defeat.
“Yang Jian possesses a Third Eye ability. Once her Third Eye opens, there will be nowhere to hide for ten thousand li. If she wishes to find Sun Wukong, that would be as easy as turning over her hand. There will be no way to conceal yourselves.” Guiguzi was aware of Yang Jian’s might.
Qi Lin furrowed his brow. This was troublesome.
“You two should hurry and leave the Western Primordial for the Western Province. Do you want to follow Master to the Western province?” Su Qin asked. “The Western Province has Saint Cundi.2 Perhaps she can give you safe harbor.”
“No, I want to bring Qi Qi to the Eastern Sea to search for the Jingu Bang.” Qi Lin pursed his lips.
“Then that is a bit of a pity.” Su Qin said regretfully. However, this was only natural. If Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong obtained the Divine Weapon Ruyi Jingu Bang, her strength would be multiplied. Even against Yang Jian, she ought not be intimidated.
“The Eastern Sea is very far. If you want to go there, then hurry. You will be captured by Yang Jian otherwise.” Su Qin said, worried.
“We’ll be careful.” Qi Lin said.
“Come out!!” All of a sudden, Qi Qi shouted.
The birds and beasts in the mountain forest scattered.
“Little Sister Qi Qi, I trust you have been well since last we met.”
A familiar voice spoke.
They saw a woman leisurely walk out. She was none other than Wang Jian.
“Not good.” Su Qin was alarmed: “How did the Ancient Qin’s people find this place.”
The girl’s sword box stirred restlessly.
Just at this moment, Qi Lin walked over and hugged Vermilion Bird Divine General Wang Jian Wang Jue.
“What are you…” Wang Jue was stunned. She blushed and wanted to struggle free.
“Huh?”
Su Qin was flabbergasted.
She was a bit confused.

ABOUT DAMN TIME! WIFE NUMBER 2 showed up! But, how’d she manage to slip away….?
B7t yeah, brother needs to pull a Su Xing and run away!
Speaking of.
I wonder if Qi Lin will pull a Su Xing and get as powerful as a Star General just with his martial arts….
Granted Su Xing was only as strong as a mid ranked Earthly Star by story’s end but still.
