Chapter 728: Chapter 728 Major Disturbance in the Celestials Clan
 

This is a man, his eyes are bright and piercing, looking all around, like they are hooked on something.

“Cough!”

Beside him, one of his clansmen reminded, coughed lightly, a group from the Peacock Clan had arrived, not just two or three, but all veterans.

This man immediately became solemn, no longer letting his eyes wander. Dressed in a five-colored robe, once he stood up properly, he possessed an aura of being above the worldly concerns, completely different from before.

The Celestials Clan remained silent, having noticed him long ago. Because only he was still in the Divine Fire Realm, considerably weak compared to these terrifying members of the Peacock Clan.

“What should I call this martial brother?” a True God asked, the Peacock Divine Lord was leading the way with Celestials carefully accompanying him, and despite this man’s relatively low realm, he was able to follow behind, clearly showing that he was no ordinary person, thus approached to build a good rapport.

“I am Kong Qiuji, haha…” The man burst into laughter, saying, “My destiny is deeply connected with your clan, as my Dao companion is from the Celestials.”

He was indeed Kong Qiuji, also known as “second baldy” from the past, who arrived in the higher realms using the Celestials’ array.

Some members of the Celestials Clan were stunned, recalling that this peacock had once appeared in one of their territories in the past, he came from the Lower Realm!

“Is he the companion who came with Yun Canghai?” someone quietly asked, Yun Canghai being Yun Xi’s grandfather.

“Where is Yun Xi, that girl should call me her granduncle,” Kong Qiuji asked with bright eyes and black hair like ink.

“Yun Xi is in seclusion,” one of the Celestials responded.

Second baldy was astonished, he was just conversing with a True God and casually mentioned Yun Xi, yet a Celestial responded, was it necessary?

“Elder, this way please.” Several Celestials, very respectful, invited the Peacock Divine Lord into a majestic hall, treating him as a distinguished guest.

Kong Qiuji did not enter, but wandered outside, planning to chat with Yun Xi’s grandfather, Yun Canghai.

“Having heard about some changes in the Celestials Clan, I came to take a look,” said the Peacock Divine Lord, sitting on a precious chair, enveloped by chaotic mist and accompanied by five-colored radiance, presenting a striking weather.

You should know, whether in the Lower Realm or in the higher realms, the Peacock Clan is extremely terrifying, producing many strong individuals, filled with Celestials, dominating across the realms, one of the most formidable clans.

Even the Celestials Clan, glorious as it once was, only allied with this clan rather than looking down upon them, let alone now!

And how could their clan leader be an ordinary person? This was definitely a ruler, known as the Peacock Divine Lord, a title that spoke for itself.

“Thank you, elder,” Celestial Qi Tuo thanked, under a lot of pressure as many schools from the outside had arrived, but the arrival of the Peacock Divine Lord wasn’t a bad event.

After all, the relationship between the two clans was fairly harmonious, not leading to enmity or opposition.

“Is that young man named Desolate in the City of the Heavens?” the Peacock Divine Lord asked.

The hearts of several Celestial Gods leapt, this kind of entity bringing up this topic was challenging and made them uncomfortable.

“Why hasn’t the Archaic Ancestor awakened yet?” they worried internally, the Peacock Divine Lord was too powerful, even as Celestials, they couldn’t rival him.

Only the elder Celestials could barely surpass him; nobody else could.

In fact, the Peacock Divine Lord wasn’t the eldest in terms of generation, although born in the Primeval Times, compared to the elder Celestials, he was just a junior.

However, their powers weren’t much different now; in some sense, they were both at the same high realm, only one at the peak and the other just starting.

“Desolate is indeed within our clan,” Celestial Qi Tuo said, gritting his teeth as he was really reluctant for others to probe.

“Thunder Emperor, very mysterious, always said to be an Immortal from the Immortal Ancient Era, surviving to this lifetime, yet unconfirmed,” the Peacock Divine Lord spoke, then changed the tone, saying, “I am very curious, wanting to meet this descendant of the Thunder Emperor, to sense from him whether he bears the aura of an Immortal.”

Several Celestial Gods stiffened their expressions; it was indeed as expected—they couldn’t avoid it, both because the opponent was powerful enough and for the sake of the alliance.

If they offended him, the consequences were unimaginable.

Eventually, Qi Tuo Celestial ordered someone to escort Shi Hao over.

Someone went down to bring Shi Hao.

On the way, Kong Qiuji gestured, saying, “Where are you going?”

“To bring Desolate,” a True God replied.

“Haha, I also want to see, I heard this Desolate is remarkable, having killed a War King and making the heir of the Immortal Hall suffer a great loss, really extraordinary,” he was completely casual, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

Both True Gods paused, really wanting to refuse.

However, Kong Qiuji was very quick with words, showing off his relationship, stating that Celestials’ current hope—Yun Xi, should call him granduncle, and he was not an outsider.

The two True Gods thought it over, not wanting to offend him, in fact, allowing him to meet Desolate beforehand wasn’t too much.

In the Underground Black Prison, a chilly wind blew, roaring sounds emanating from many ancient caves, housing many ancient ferocious creatures, never seeing daylight.

In a stone chamber, a strong smell of blood was pungent.

Not long after entering, Shi Hao had already received more than a dozen sword strikes, his body was pierced, drenched in blood, the scene was tragic.

His green clothed clothes were long tattered, filled with sword holes, fresh blood vividly spurting out, falling to the ground with clear sounds.

This was very bloody, his body had many through-and-through wounds; for a Venerable One, though not enough to kill him immediately, it would also greatly damage his Primal Qi.

“Boy, you’re quite tough, I feel it’s necessary to carve a few bones from you,” Prison Head said coldly with a laugh, the sword in his hand aimed at Shi Hao’s shoulder, intending to dislodge his shoulder blade.

“Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art, your clan shouldn’t even dream of it, if someone asks, I can only say it’s because of you, leading me to not speak,” Shi Hao said.

“Are you threatening me?” the Prison Head’s eyes gleamed with cold light.

Blood splattered, Shi Hao’s arm was pierced.

But he didn’t frown; instead, he smiled and said, “You won’t get anything, and can only kill me.”

“Do you think my clan wouldn’t dare?” the Prison Head coldly said.

“You are welcome to try.” Shi Hao spoke calmly, blood flowing over his body, vowing inwardly that if he survived, he would one day return and forcefully take down the City of the Heavens. The imperial family, the Imperial Clan, their names would be forever tarnished!

“Didn’t Desolate save your clan’s Yun Xi? How did he end up thrown into the Black Prison?” Kong Qiuji did not understand, as he himself followed into a prison.

“He harbored ulterior motives and approached Yun Xi with intentions, and our clan detected the anomaly,” answered a True God, as they approached the stone room.

“Could it be, is he really such a person? Desolate, I used to admire him, daring to cross swords with the Zhan Tribe and battle with people from the Immortal Hall, casually killing a Primordial,” Second Baldy muttered, shaking his head continuously.

“What is this strong smell of blood?” When the door to the stone room was pushed open, and they stepped into the Array, everyone furrowed their brows.

Clearly, torture was underway here, and it was severe — bloody and cruel.

After Second Baldy came in, he saw a person whose flesh was indistinguishable, covered in bright red blood, his war robe tattered, the sword wounds too severe.

Shi Hao raised his head and immediately recognized Kong Qiuji, who was the Second Baldy from Stone Village back then; he had seen Kong Qiuji’s human form before.

“Second Baldy…” he spoke, never having imagined that he would encounter an old friend here, that he would see him.

“Who the hell dares to call me…” Kong Qiuji was outraged, aside from in the Lower Realm’s Stone Village, who dared to address him this way, yet now he was a direct descendant of the Peacock Clan, a powerful figure among the “young and strong brigade.”

“You are…” Quickly, his eyes widened as he saw Shi Hao’s true body, hardly believing it, then his whole body’s hair stood on end, a mix of shock and anger.

It was utterly unbelievable for him. Wasn’t the youth from Stone Village dead in the Lower Realm? When he had received the news back then, he had been upset and howled.

How could he have imagined that today here he would meet Shi Hao, seeing him still alive!

This was an unexpected joy, incredible, he felt it was too illusionary, appearing so unreal.

Shi Hao was smiling, seeing him like this, recalling the past events, filled with endless laughter and joy. Back then, Shi Hao was just a kid, had done numerous infuriates humans and ghosts alike acts, among those was capturing Second Baldy alive from the Hundred Shattered Mountains back to Stone Village.

Life is indeed full of unexpected encounters; feeling this, he sighed, yet it carried melancholy and bitterness.

“Who the hell did this, was it you, old codger?!” After a brief stupor, Second Baldy immediately grew furious again, raging thunderously.

He saw Shi Hao covered in blood, with over a dozen clear and bright wounds both on the front and back, too tragic, having been tortured to this extent.

He turned to look at the Prison Head, whirls his palm and slapped it towards him, bold enough to strike even a True God, his anger uncontainable.

The Prison Head dodged and his expression darkened, the opponent was merely an Immortal from the Divine Fire Realm of the Peacock Clan, yet dared to be so disrespectful to him. But he didn’t lash out immediately because he understood that any foreigner capable of reaching here definitely had a significant background.

“This is my brother, do you Celestials Clan want to die?” Second Baldy’s anger went through the roof, partially revealing his wings, with five-colored lights flowing around; his veins were bulging.

“Crack!”

He took out a horrifying treasure, cut off the chains on Shi Hao’s body, and quickly helped him stop the bleeding.

In the past, although these two often bickered, with various joys and oppositions, their friendship was deep overall. Especially since second baldy had once been helped by the Willow Deity in Stone Village and gained hugely!

During those years, second baldy felt a sense of belonging, feeling that Stone Village was his haven, where the simple villagers were easy to get along with.

“What are you trying to do, stage a jailbreak?!” The Prison Head shouted, accusing him of a serious crime; regardless of the other’s background, if he were proven to be involved in a jailbreak here, he would be Suppression Killed.

“I am breaking your ancestors out!” second baldy cursed vehemently, truly infuriated yet not losing his sense as he loudly transmitted his voice outside, saying: “Desolate, you escorted your clan’s talented young girl for hundreds of thousands of miles, is this how you treat a benefactor? I want to have a word with the Celestial God of your Celestials Clan.”

The cage was open when they entered, and the entrance was not closed; the sound could be transmitted out. He was seeking help from the Peacock Clan experts.

“You are recklessly bold; even a Celestial God can’t save you now!” shouted the Prison Head, but he still did not dare to make a move. He felt that this person seemed to have a significant background, merely using threats and accusations to prompt the clan’s experts to order his killing.

“Scram, do you know whose orders I am here under, it’s the Peacock Divine Lord; you stay out of this!” Kong Qiuji rebuked him.

Then, he turned around, once again helping Shi Hao heal, his heart shook immensely, truly unexpected. How could he have imagined, meeting again under such circumstances?

“I always thought you had died in the Lower Realm, passing away at a young age. Little did I expect, you are Desolate, battling against various Primordials from the higher realms, truly remarkable!”

Second baldy was excited, joyful, somewhat incoherent, but also sober, vigilantly guarding, not allowing the Prison Head to approach.

“I also did not expect … to meet under these circumstances,” Shi Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lamenting the joys and sorrows, the unpredictability of life.

“Don’t worry, the Divine Lord of my Peacock Clan might know the Willow Deity, there’s an inexplicable connection, even the Celestials Clan cannot trouble you!” second baldy said.

At that moment, in that magnificent hall, a group of people heard the loud outburst from second baldy and showed different expressions.

“Bring back that unworthy descendant,” commanded the Peacock Divine Lord.

Several Celestial Gods of the Celestials Clan frowned, knowing that something unexpected had occurred in the prison.

Soon, the bloodied Shi Hao and the angry second baldy were brought back, causing surprise among the crowd in the hall.

“Venerable Ancestor, this is not only Desolate, he is also my brother from the Lower Realm, coming from the mysterious Stone Village, a disciple of the Willow Deity, you must save him!”

Following that, second baldy curse vehemently, standing in the hall and pointing at a group of powerful beings from the Celestials Clan, saying, “Do you still have a conscience? My brother protected your clan’s genius and returned, only to be treated like this, coveting his precious symbol, even wanting to cut him down, I ¥#@%…”

The group was shocked, several Celestial Gods were dumbfounded, scolded by a descendant of the Divine Fire Realm from the Peacock, daring to cause such a ruckus here!

Willow Deity’s eyes… the Peacock Divine Lord’s eyes deepened. To everyone in the higher realms, it was believed inevitable that entering the Primordial Gate meant certain death. Yet, he firmly believed that the mysterious and unimaginably powerful being was still alive, somewhere in this world.

Because he still remembered, in the Primeval Times, when he was still a child, he had once seen an image, a willow tree glowing luminescently…

This chapter, enormous increase in posts in the review section, some say it’s normal, some say it’s torturous, this… with ups and downs, it will improve soon. Kong Qiuji came out, first to cause trouble and open fire. Asking for monthly tickets, asking for firepower.
