Rules of Heaven - C61
Feng Shao Wu was a smart man; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten so much attention from the fourth prince. A cold light flashed across his eyes as his left hand took out a long blade from the side, while his right hand tightened around Suo Bing.
“What’s wrong?” Suo Bing seemed to feel something was wrong.
Feng Zhaowu comforted her, “It’s fine. I think it’s because some unassuming robbers are blocking the way. I’ll be back after I send them off.”
“Be careful.” Suo Bing was still a little worried and said nervously.
For some reason, her eyes had never opened. Feng Zhao Wu gently carried her to the side, but unintentionally knocked her aside. Suo Bing’s lower part suddenly felt a great pain. Feng Zhaowu’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, “Bing’er, are you alright?”
“No, no.” Suo Bing frowned.
Feng Zhaowu guiltily kissed her face, and said: “Wait for me, I’ll be right back.” Holding onto the long saber, he gently walked out of the carriage. After exiting the carriage, he saw a person in golden embroidered dragon robes carrying him on his back. As for the coachman, he was serene as he lay there. Feng Zhao Wu probed for a bit and realized that he was no longer breathing.
He frowned as he walked to the carriage and looked at the person in front of him.
“Are you Feng Zhaowu of Ji Xing Jian’s sword palace?” The man in front said slowly.
Feng Zhaowu said coldly, “If you know, why aren’t you making way for me?”
“Ji!” The man standing in front of Ji Hao laughed and turned around to look at him. What a good eunuch, what a woman who had been cast into the Yin Palace. The two of you are such a perfect match. ”
Hearing his words, Feng Zhaowu could not help but shout angrily, “You are courting death!” He picked up his long blade and hacked at Madam Ji.
Seeing him in such a stance, Madam Ji’s face showed disdain. With a flick of her fingers, Feng Zhaowu fell straight to the ground, not moving at all. It was exactly the same as the carriage driver.
Ji Tai walked up to him and kicked him hard, then said to the horse carriage coldly, “I am Ji Tai, you wretched bitch. Consider this as your last favor to Bai Li, I’ll let you live!” After which, he turned around and left, not bothering about anything else.
However, what Madam Ji did not know was that the dog of a life he left behind would become a terrifying demon after a few decades.
“Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu.” “Suddenly, Suo Bing bore the pain and climbed out of the carriage.” Bang! He fell off the carriage. His whole body was in pain. But she did not stop. She continued to grope around and did not give up.
“Zhao Wu, where are you?”
“Zhao Wu.”
“Zhao Wu.”
Suddenly, a pair of hands helped her up and gently said, “He’s over here.”
Suo Bing was stunned for a moment. She didn’t know who this person was, but still instinctively said, “Thank you.” The man pulled him to a tree and said, “He’s right in front of you.”
Even though she knew Feng Zhaowu was in front, she didn’t move. Because she had a premonition, a very bad premonition. This kind of premonition was enough to make her collapse. It would cause the last bit of courage she had to live to completely disappear.
The one who helped her up was Ding Hong.
Ding Hong carried the Liu Sword and left Zhaoyang City. He knew that it must be because of Bai Li or the time tribulation that no one came to investigate. This Fifth Liu was probably someone who didn’t understand the reasons behind it.
He originally wanted to find a quiet place to force out Liu Wu’s information about the contract, but he didn’t expect to find someone he was extremely familiar with when he passed by. The person who had just saved Suo Bing. He was still wondering what had happened when he saw Suo Bing coming out of the carriage and looking for something. He told Liu Wu to put down the sword, but was a little worried, and left the Mysterious Sword Formation to guard, and then came in front of Bing.
However, when he looked closely, Ding Hong’s whole body did not feel a wave of numbness. Su Bing’s eyes were filled with black blood, but his eyeballs were deactivated! What was even more terrifying was that her chest was actually flat, and through her clothes, one could occasionally see two balls of ground flesh!
Listening to her calling out the name and actions, Ding Hong understood the relationship between the two. He couldn’t bear it anymore, so he picked up the lifeless Feng Zhaowu and leaned him against a tree, then helped Suo Bing over.
“Excuse me, do you know who Ji Tai is?” Suo Bing asked weakly.
“Ji Tai?” Ding Hong slightly frowned. He did not know how she knew about Ji Tai, but he still said, “She seems to be the eldest senior brother of the Worryfree Valley.” After he finished speaking, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. Today, when he saw Ji Taixu, he saw that he was clearly wearing the Zhou Dynasty’s imperial robes. Furthermore, his surname was Ji, and it would be impossible to say that there was no relationship between them.
“He is Ji Yuanhang’s uncle, and also the second head of the Ji Clan.” Bai Li suddenly walked over from afar and explained slowly.
Suo Bing suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying. She stood there like a stone statue, unmoving, as if even her mother’s clothes had been assimilated and she was motionless in the wind.
The wind had picked up again, and it was cold to the bone.
The feeling of winter approached once more.
“What?” For the first time, Ding Hong was shocked to learn that Ji Taixu still had so many other identities. Just as he was in a daze, Suo Bing suddenly reached out to touch Ding Hong’s face and that mask.
After touching the mask, Suo Bing suddenly knelt down and said softly, “Please take me in, Master. “As long as Master is willing to accept them, Suo Bing is willing to offer up the inheritance of the Suo Family.”
Ding Hong had just come back to his senses when he saw Suo Bing do something like this. He frowned and was about to help her up. Who would have thought that just as he reached out his hand to help her, Bai Li suddenly appeared in front of him in a flash, blocking his hand. He said lightly to Suo Bing, “Your Suo Family’s family heirloom? Isn’t it a family heirloom like the Xu, Zhou, and the other five families? ”
Suo Bing said, “There are two volumes in the fixed sky painting scroll! Xu Siying and Xu Zhongjing took away the first scroll and the last scroll, which was collected by the Suo Family. ”
A glint of light flickered in Bai Li’s eyes as he coldly stated, “If I had thrown that item out earlier, where would the clan annihilation of your Shi Clan come from?!” “In the end, I forced Madam Ji to find an excuse, and destroy your Suo Family before obediently taking out the item!”
Suo Bing did not answer, she just knelt there facing Ding Hong and said, “Master, please accept me. I am willing to give you the fixed sky painting.”
Ding Hong frowned and said, “Why must you let me keep you?”
Bai Li seemed to have thought of something as he coldly stared at her.
Fifth Liu was always at the side. After he saw Bai Li, he suddenly realized that Gao Shen and the many cultivators in the Heaven Viewing Pavilion didn’t care about this matter! Originally, he wanted to escape using this as an excuse, but now, he no longer had the courage to do so.
Bai Li’s status could only be found in the Heavenly Pavilion. Those sects that served as guests to the princes had no rights to know about him. After Liu Wu thought it through, he walked in front of Ding Hong and said: “So what if Master accepts her? If Master finds it troublesome, you can hand her over to me. You can also let me teach him a Tao technique. In the future, it will be Master’s great arm strength!”
Bai Li had clearly seen everything that had happened outside of Chao Yang City. Naturally, he knew who Liu Wu was. He said, “You seem to have changed your mind quite quickly.” Then he said to Ding Hong, “Currently, she has many injuries on her body. Without any treatment, she might die sooner or later.” She looked at Suo Bing again and said faintly, “And her other intention is to hide herself and cultivate your five forbidden arts of sealing together, right?”
When Ding Hong heard Bai Li’s words, he could not bear to do so. This Bai Li must have lived for too long, to be able to see through all the worldly matters with a single glance. Ding Hong passed by him to help him up, slowly saying, “You are too weak, don’t torture yourself.” Pausing, he continued, “You already know about his situation, right?”
After a long while, Suo Bing nodded with great difficulty.
“Go back to the Heavenly Pavilion. Only your Sky Severing Wood can cure the injuries on her body.” Then he turned to look at Liu Wu and said coldly, “Return to the Heaven Viewing Pavilion, Soul Binding Contract.”
Before the two of them could reply, Bai Li’s body moved, carrying Suo Bing and Feng Zhaowu as he flew towards Zhaoyang City.
No one knew what Bai Li was currently thinking, nor could they understand the complicated emotions he was feeling. He could only turn his anger, worry, and regret into coldness.
A voice resounded in Bai Li’s heart, “Ji Tai, the relationship between the three of us, has finally been broken …”
After Ding Hong saw Bai Li leave with Suo Bing, he pondered for a moment and then said to Liu Wu, “Return to Heaven Viewing Pavilion.”
Liu Wu sighed and replied respectfully, “Yes.”
After bringing Ding Hong back to the city, he descended once more and walked towards the Heaven Viewing Pavilion with Ding Hong. When he returned to the Heaven Viewing Pavilion, Fifth Liu lost a lot of face. He was very attentive, and when he felt the mocking and strange gazes from others, he suddenly felt a sense of remorse and humiliation surging through his heart.
What meaning is there to live with me like this …
But, I don’t have the courage to die after all …
Ding Hong was naturally unaware of the fluctuations in Liu Wu’s thoughts. When he returned to the Heaven Viewing Pavilion, someone told him that Bai Li was waiting for him at the Heaven Viewing Platform. Without stopping, he walked in front, followed by Fifth Liu, and arrived at the Heaven Viewing Platform. However, Fifth Liu just stood at the top of the stairs and didn’t dare to go up.
Arriving at the Heaven Viewing Platform, Ding Hong first saw the Sky Wood. Looking at this item, he couldn’t help but lament in his heart. How great would it be if he could possess the thing that was infatuated with mustard seeds. If he continued on like this, he suspected that he might even lose himself …
Bai Li was still standing on the corner of the roof, while Suo Bing was held in mid-air by a pitch-black shadow. Seeing that Ding Hong had arrived, Bai Li said, “Are you willing to accept her as a slave and grant her a soul contract?”
Ding Hong frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
The temperature in the air suddenly turned cold. Bai Li stared coldly at him, “Xiaofeng, if it weren’t for me protecting you, I’m afraid you would have already died at my hands.”
Fifth Liu originally thought that their relationship was good, but upon seeing this scene, he was stunned. Ding Hong had a nagging feeling that something was not right ever since Bai Li left with him. He knew that this was not the time to argue with him, so he took a step back and replied, “Of course I’m willing.”
Bai Li was not a good person to begin with, and he was vaguely aware that Zi had the intention of letting Wu Feng replace him. It just so happened that today’s calamity completely broke with Ji Tai, and after the two attacks, his temperament had changed. He wanted to find something for Ding Hong to vent the anger in his heart, but he did not expect Ding Hong to actually tolerate him.
Since Ding Hong had already said so, he was no longer in a difficult position. He then said, “Her spiritual energy and body are unable to withstand the soul contract, unless you can change her spiritual cavities and body, and you just so happen to have the Sky Severing Wood by your side. Are you willing to use Sky Wood to exchange for a slave like that?”
Hearing the word ‘slave’, Ding Hong could not help but feel some disgust. However, he did his best to hold it in and said, “Of course.”
As soon as the two words left his mouth, Bai Li’s hands moved, and the Sky Wood floating in the air flew to Suo Bing’s side. With a pinch of his hands, the Sky Wood disintegrated into dust with a “pa” sound. After the dust appeared, Ye Chong turned his fist into a palm, and the dust immediately entered into Suo Bing’s body.
Seeing this scene, Liu Wu’s eyes almost popped out from their sockets. When he first heard about the Sky Wood, he was a little suspicious because it was too rare. It was probably one of the rarer things in the Heavenly Palace. And he had actually personally witnessed someone shattering the Sky Wood to create a Spirit Point for someone else to use to change their body!
With such a large arm, the Heavenly Palace’s Penglai Gate probably didn’t even need to be used. But the young man in front of him didn’t change his expression at all. He didn’t seem to feel any pain at all! At this moment, the thoughts in his mind started to change. Following Ding Hong seemed to bring him greater benefits in the future?
At this moment, all of the dust formed by Tian Mu had completely entered Suo Bing’s body. Her chest began to slowly swell. The chest that had been dug out actually grew longer! Standing in the distance, Ding Hong could clearly feel that Suo Bing, who originally had no spiritual energy flowing, was now brimming with spiritual energy! More importantly, he could also feel that there was the same yin and yang energy circulating within her body, having the ability to connect to the heaven and earth!
Seeing this, Ding Hong finally realized how precious this Sky Wood Wood was and sucked in a breath of cold air.
Suo Bing had been sleeping peacefully, but after absorbing the Sky Wood, she suddenly woke up. After finding out that Feng Zhaowu had died, she suddenly felt like a different person, quiet and deep. She seemed to have returned to a state not long ago, a state of vengeance.
When she woke up, she was already in the air, but she was actually able to control her own spirit energy to slowly descend around her body. When Bai Li saw that she had woken up, he pointed at her and Liu Wu. “Soul contract.”
Hearing the soul contract, Suo Bing didn’t stop and swiped her right hand on her left pulse. She actually drew out a little person that looked exactly the same as her. After the little person came out, she blew, and the little person flew directly towards Ding Hong.
Before Ding Hong could react, the little fellow had already flew into his body. Gradually, a little person appeared in his mind. However, this little person seemed to be completely under his control. With a thought, he made the little guy raise his hand. As expected, the little guy did it. Not only that, but the little person did something similar, causing Suo Bing to be greatly interested in the soul pact.
After seeing that Suo Bing had finished with the soul pact, Bai Li looked at Liu Wu. Liu Wu thought for a while and did the same thing as Suo Bing. After which, Bai Li said to Ding Hong, “Heaven Fixing Painting, ask for it yourself.” His body flashed and turned into dust, disappearing without a trace. No one knew where he had gone to.
The scene fell into silence.
Ding Hong looked at Liu Wu and said, “Go back first, I will call you if anything happens.”
Fifth Liu had already signed the soul contract with him and didn’t dare to refute. He bowed and said, “Yes, Master.” Go downstairs.
On a huge Heaven Viewing Platform, there was only Suo Bing and Ding Hong left. All of Suo Bing’s body seemed to have recovered back to normal, but she still had her eyes closed for some reason.
