Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being-Chapter 702 - Killing Your Own Kind

Chapter 702 - Killing Your Own Kind

Edited by Ea

Zhan Fengting glanced at him. “So what if I am? So what if I’m not?”

Longyao Lingguang took a deep breath. “Why did you lie to us? Why let everyone think that Hai Kuanglang’s mother was Princess Jing?”

Zhan Fengting replied, “Wait until you leave the Dragon Tomb to ask your Father Emperor about the matter.”

Longyao Lingguang seemed to be provoked by something and shouted, “I don’t believe it! Father Emperor can’t possibly know! You are lying to me! You lied to everyone!”

“Look.” Yan Tianhen leaned in. “Don’t be so naive. If the Dragon Emperor didn’t know about it, then no one would’ve been able to hide it from the world. Not only does he know about it, but nine times out of ten, he’s even the chief culprit who put forth this scheme.”

“You shut up!” Longyao Lingguang’s eyes were red. It looked as if he’d been wronged and was about to cry.

“Lingguang, come here. Don’t say any more.” Longyao Lingheng came over and grabbed Longyao Lingguang. “The Crown Prince is mysteriously selected by Heaven’s will. The person chosen by the Dragon God will never be wrong.”

“No! None of this is right! You are Father Emperor’s eldest son; you should be the legitimate Crown Prince!” Longyao Lingguang shouted loudly, and tears almost fell from his eyes.

This was wrong. All of this was wrong. Why did Zhan Fengting become part of the dragon family’s main branch all of a sudden and obtain the inheritance? How was he supposed to accept this!?

The disciples of the Longyao family all looked intently towards this side. This reversal surprised every single one of them, but their acceptance was always going to be higher than that of Longyao Lingguang. After all, from the beginning, they just came to try their luck.

Longyao Lingheng, on the other hand, should have suffered the biggest blow. For many years, he had been appointed as the legitimate heir, and his position as Crown Prince was practically guaranteed. However, at this time, it seemed that the response of Longyao Lingheng, the party concerned, was unexpectedly cold and calm, while Longyao Lingguang’s reaction was still normal.

Hai Kuanglang frowned. Even though he was very unhappy with Zhan Fengting’s actions, he still found Longyao Lingguang even more displeasing to the eyes. “What are you yelling about? Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? We haven’t even walked out of the ice sea yet. If you keep whining, then don’t come with us. Don’t drag us down.”

Longyao Lingguang wiped his face hard and wanted to swear at him, but he was hit on the face by a warm plush ball. When he focused on it, it was a young tiger lying on his shoulder, nuzzling towards his face.

Longyao Lingguang, “…”

“This, this&#k2026; What is this thing?”

“Listen to your brother.” Fu Li, who had taken the tiger cubs and gone with the main forces, walked over with Ah Bai in his arms. “Right now, it’s not necessarily a good thing to be the Crown Prince. In the ancient Great Immortal-Demon War, the then-Dragon Emperor died in martyrdom. He didn’t even leave behind any descendants. Wasn’t it his clansmen who ultimately reaped the benefits he died fighting for? On the bright side, your elder brother won’t need to take the lead and martyr himself. Isn’t that better?” Fu Li’s lips smiled, his eyes seemed empty; the focal length seemed to be floating away, which made people think he was blind.

Longyao Lingguang was stunned. In the end, he didn’t say anything, so he ran away after Longyao Lingheng. Hu Po jumped back into Fu Li’s arms and nuzzled his neck like a cat.

Yan Tianhen was filled with vinegar. “Daoist Fu really has good methods. My family’s two white tigers usually don’t like to be close to strangers, but they’re so obedient today. I don’t know what benefits you have given them. Can you teach me?”

When Fu Li heard this, he smiled, scratched Hu Po’s chin, and said, “What methods can I use? It’s just racial nature. They probably like my smell.”

Yan Tianhen’s eyelids twitched repeatedly. He always felt that the baby he painstakingly raised was going to be abducted by a powerful person. However, whether or not Fu Li wanted to abduct them, Yan Tianhen would still have the final say anyway.

In the face of a powerful enemy, Yan Tianhen decided to be tolerant and generous for the time being and not pursue matters with Fu Li, this person who liked to casually take other people’s tiger cubs as his own and didn’t care about his own face at all.

On the frozen sea, a line of hundreds of people braved the heavy wind and snow in a hurry. However, no one spoke along the way. They were probably thinking that life was already so difficult, so why make more trouble for themselves? It was better to save energy by keeping their mouths shut so that their chances of survival would increase.

Because someone lit a fire earlier, inadvertently melting the ice and causing those evil spirits to run out, no one dared to light even a spark now, even if they were cold.

Yan Tianhen was carrying the warming bead that Lin Xuanzhi snatched from others, so he couldn’t feel the chill at all. Fortunately, only his own people knew about it. Otherwise, if other people who were frozen into dogs knew about this item, he didn’t know how much trouble they would make. Sometimes, it was necessary to keep a low profile.

When the sky was hazy and bright, the people finally left the icy sea. When they saw land, all the disciples who were about to go crazy from the heavy snow and strong wind shouted and ran towards the mainland one by one, as if they had seen their mother after a long separation.

Although these powerful cultivators who helped the disciples of the Longyao family enter the Dragon Tomb were still reserved and steady, their expressions were obviously relaxed.

On land, the wind and snow stopped.

But there was only a desert in this land with no greenery within thousands of miles. The yellow of pythons and the gray-black of stones appeared alternately, which made people feel desolate. As part of the Longyao clan, who loved water by nature, what they didn’t like the most was such an environment.

Therefore, the Longyao clan had always given up the Northern border of the North Land to the Ling family — a vassal to the Purple Emperor’s Yan family — for direct management. Every few years, the Longyao clan would send their disciples to supervise the Northern border, and then find people to replace them in a few years. This was the greatest extent of their management of the Northern border, so the Ling family was called the “Tenth Divine Clan” and the “most powerful quasi-Divine Clan”.

A ghost wailed and howled. Seeing the yellow sand desert, the disciples of the Longyao clan were ecstatic at first, but soon they faded down and complained about why their ancestors insisted on creating this dry desert environment to bury their bones in. The desert almost made the disciples dehydrated.

After running around all day and all night, they had a fight with those evil spirits, and grew exhausted.

After discussion, Zhan Fengting, who was now the leader of the Dragon clan, finally found his conscience. “Everyone looks tired. I don’t know how long it will take for us to cross this desert. Let’s rest in place first.”

As expected, cheers broke out.

Yan Tianhen found a position with his back against a big stone and sat down. He didn’t feel too tired. Even if he felt exhausted, that was mentally, not physically.

One hand touched Yan Tianhen’s cheek.

“You’ve been distracted all night. What are you thinking? You might as well talk to me.” Lin Xuanzhi sat down beside Yan Tianhen.

Yan Tianhen looked up toward Lin Xuanzhi, his brow wrinkling slightly. “I don’t think that the evil spirits broke out due to something as simple as the seal being accidentally opened by fire. There must be another reason.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “What’s so difficult about discovering the result? If another evil spirit appears along the way, it will properly indicate that someone is doing something. If no more evil spirits appear, then the first time may have been an accident.”

Yan Tianhen’s eyes lowered. “But evil spirits did appear. Zhan Shixiong also indicated that Master has divined into the heavens and calculated that the Heaven’s Wail will reappear in the world, and evil spirit cultivators will return as well.”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen. “Evil spirits are monsters that came from nearby upper realms, and ordinary cultivators can’t stop them at all, unless they smear their weapons with blood containing spiritual Qi. If one’s cultivation is much higher than the evil spirits, they can also suppress them, but I have calculated that one’s cultivation must be higher than Grandmaster Stage to achieve that. However, you have not shed a drop of blood from beginning to end. Why?”

Yan Tianhen couldn’t help muttering in his heart, At this time, Lin Xuanzhi can still notice these details.

“If you want to destroy evil spirits, but you don’t want to bleed and don’t have a high cultivation, you can also destroy the evil spirits’ cores in one stroke. This is also a method.” Yan Tianhen first added the omissions in Lin Xuanzhi’s words, then said, “Or a person like me — only evil Qi cultivators understand evil spirits the best, and only evil Qi cultivators can control them. This control includes making them surrender, obey your commands, or die.”

Yan Tianhen hooked his lips. “I have cultivated evil Qi, so naturally I can easily kill the same kind. What evil spirits fear most is their own kind.”

Only an evil Qi cultivator can easily kill evil spirits.

This information was discovered by Dao Zu early on. However, besides the actual evil Qi cultivators, no one else knew this. Even when all the evil spirits in the world were buried in a big seal together or destroyed, still, no one else knew this.

“Is this the reason Lingyu cultivated evil Qi and became the Demon Emperor despised by all?” Lin Xuanzhi suddenly asked.

Yan Tianhen was stunned. Then he shook his head.

“Not so.” Yan Tianhen replied. “Although he was forced to cultivate evil Qi because he had no other alternative, how could Lingyu be so generous? He is by no means the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for the world, so Dage shouldn’t try to guess anymore. It’s not so much that he cultivated evil Qi in order to destroy evil spirits, but rather that after he was forced to cultivate evil Qi, he was chosen to be the one to destroy the evil spirits.”

The desert was lonely and the sun was heavy.

Nobody knew what Dragon Prince Zhan Fengting said to Hai Kuanglang, but Hai Kuanglang’s attitude towards him relaxed slightly.

“Let’s find a place to discuss something.” Zhan Fengting came over. One hand was gently pressing on the temple — nobody knew whether it was because of fatigue or headache.

Yan Tianhen patted the sand on his butt and immediately stood up. He lifted his chin toward the east. “I’ve been waiting for you to confess everything. Let’s go. There’s no one over there.”

Lin Xuanzhi also went with them.

The “over there” that Yan Tianhen mentioned had a strange rock taller than the two of them. Although the shape was strange, it was a natural barrier.

Zhan Fengting said, “There is not enough time. I will make a long story short.”

Yan Tianhen immediately said, “Don’t ah. It will take another 10 to 15 days to finish the journey. Elder Martial Brother must explain it well. Otherwise, how can I persuade Hai Shixiong to forgive you?”

Zhan Fengting, “…”

Lin Xuanzhi pinched Yan Tianhen’s neck. “Don’t listen to Ah Hen’s nonsense, but first tell me what warning the Dragon Tomb gave the Dragon Emperor.”

Zhan Fengting had to sigh with emotion that Lin Xuanzhi was truly a rare genius.
