Chapter 353: 8.78 First Blue Star - The Ye and Gui

Lieutenant General Xue Ying had led the rest of the team back to the camp. The traitors were all chained up as they were dragged back with them as well. A huge commotion took place in the campsite especially when they heard about what Major General Navi had done. There is solid proof of his attempts to kill Feng Jing, one of the main pillars of the Oberion Empire. It was the video System Etoile took under the orders of Lin Yven.

Once the recording from Lin Yven was played for everyone to see, everyone in the empire and federation wanted to execute Major General Navi. Who was Young Lord Jing? He is the only living SSS above guide potential in the Empire. As long as he existed the probability of their strongest Sentinel, Marshal Altair Sirius falling to the state of mania is zero. Not only that this young lord possesses a hybrid quantum beast that is above everyone except the Dragon King itself. A phoenix-dragon quantum beast, there is only one like it in the world.

These are only the things the common people knew. Those from Interstellar Federation knew more. Feng Jing is not only an SSS-ranked Guide but also a genius programmer who created the absolute defensive systems that can be installed on houses, ships, and even mecha. This program is widely used in the Empire and it is something the Feng Clan had shared with Marshal Janus which the latter sold to the Federation.

Marshal Janus did this so the Interstellar Federation would know the importance of the Feng Clan to Feng Jing. After all, this program is something the young man made for his family's safety. As long as the Federation chose to protect the Feng Family, Feng Jing would definitely side with their Empire. Plus, the rumors about his mate pairing with Marshal Sirius allowed those old men in the Federation to be based on the Feng Clan. This is after all the strongest man in their Empire. Altair Sirius.

It is because of this that the imprisonment of the whole Navi Clan was done instantly. Because the one backing the Old Marshal is the other elders who created the Federation. They are truly angered when they've heard that their most precious one was being targeted.

In Oberion Empire.

In the Imperial Palace, Emperor Regulus Sol had steadily watched everything at the sideline. Even after knowing that one of the pawns of the Imperial Family was caught, they didn't take any action to try to save them. The reason why the Navi Clan is too proud despite their descendants being merely decent is that the royal family used to back them up. 

They used the youngest queen, the mother of Navi Naja as the catalyst to control the Navi Clan. Just as Navi Itri thought that his clan and the royal family were at equal standing after the intermarriage, the Imperial Family only used this married to take over the control of their clan. This is the reason why most descendants of the Navi Clan though they are royals as well.

But Emperor Sol only used their clan as camouflage to his real plans of overtaking the federation. Without even anyone noticing that most members of the imperial family are no longer the original but was replaced by other souls, not from this world. Among the royalty, only Regulus Zenith is the only remaining original of the Imperial Bloodline.

As for why this is because this person is too close to the Feng Clan. It would be easily seen through once this person met Feng Jing even once. When that happened they would instantly get annihilated. That is after all the God of Destruction. Once they were killed, they would permanently die. This includes their immortal soul and would no longer be able to enter reincarnation as their soul would perish under this cruel evil god's hands.

Emperor Sol had gathered every king and queen available in the place. Their souls were all replaced and no one was spared. Now a group of outsiders controls the imperial family.

At the throne, Emperor Sol sat firmly as he stared uninterestedly at the people kneeling before him. There are the two wives of the Emperor, Empress Tang Adhara and Concubine Cosmos Dayla. The first king, Regulus Aera, and Third Queen, Regulus Tifa. All of their souls were replaced and none had noticed it.

Emperor Sol stared down at the pale-faced Empress Adhara before him.

"I heard that you had a hard time killing the soul of the original owner of that vessel. Are you that useless, Hei Lian?" asked the Emperor.

The Empress trembling replied, "M-My Lord... it was a bit of a mistake. She was able to send a message... to her son before I... completely killed her soul. We weren't able to intercept it on time!" she closed her eyes waiting for death. The only reason he joins this mission this time is to avenge her sister, Hei Suya who was said to be killed together with her boyfriend in one of their missions.

Hei Suya is that lady in the Apocalypse world with a man named Ye Yan. They were badly hurt by Hei Anjing's attack at that time. At that time, Hei Anjing thought his husband had killed that couple but he didn't know that he had surrendered those two to Hei Jue and An Liang. The two spread in the System Worlds about their fake deaths. This is the reason why Hei Lian thought her younger sister had died and wanted to avenge her and join this mission.

The Hei Clan had been working with the Ye Gui's race secretly for the longest time. As the current clan head, Hei Jue didn't know about this. All he knew was that some elder of his clans were plotting against his cousin and tried to stop them. When they've caught Hei Suya and Ye Yan together, Hei Jue realized that his Clan had stooped low enough to harm their own relatives.

This is the real reason why Hei Jue wasn't able to enter worlds with Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie. He is busy cleaning up the Hei Clan. The blood of the traitors flowed at the Hei Clan's territory when Hei Jue returned and suddenly started the massacre. Hei Anjing didn't know anything about this as his cousin and Lord An Liang kept all this as a secret to him. They didn't want to burden him further with how greatly weakened he had become.

Those traitors from the Hei Clan who had escaped had now sided completely with the Ye Gui race. They are now working for this notorious race.

The Empress started prostrating before the Emperor and said, "Please give me another chance. My Lord... Please just give me another chance..."

"Hmp! You trash of the Hei Family, we shouldn't have accepted you at all. Not one was more useful than the other. Ye Yan that stupid fool did he die because he choose to stay with that stupid weak woman named Hei Suya! Because of your annoying sister, my elder brother has died!" said Emperor Sol. It seems that the soul inside this vessel is someone from the Ye Gui Race as well. He is a Young Master with Ye in his name.

Only the direct descendants of the Ye Gui race possess a 'Ye' in their names. They are the strongest among their race and were born with the purest bloodline. Their strongest element is fire. 

"Unlike that traitor Ye Xiajie, this mixed breed scrooge my elder brother is a pureblood! His death is a loss to our race!" said the Emperor.

Amid their leader's outburst, only King Regulus Aera stepped in and tried to calm down his lord.

"My Lord. Please calm your anger. Since things had come to do this, let's just summon that last remaining king and replace him as well. Once he is replaced it would be easier to blend with the Feng Clan where the God of Destruction resides. This is an opportunity!" said King Regulus Aera.

The emperor at the throne suddenly stopped talking and fell into his deepest thoughts. He also realized that this is a great opportunity for them.

"The risk is big but... if we make it, it can be considered half successful." 

"That's right, my lord," said King Regulus Aera.

The Emperor said, "Then I will leave it to you, Gui Xiajun."

"Of course, as you wish my lord Ye Tianyu," responded King Regulus Aera.

Ye Tianyu is a direct descendant of the Ye Gui Race while Gui Xiajun is of mixed blood. The mixed blood of their race will be given a Gui surname at birth; only those who awakened the special fire of the Ye Clan can bear the Ye in their names. Ye Gui's are the possessor of the Hell Flames. This is the hottest and strongest fire in the world. The only fire that could contend against the Eternal Ice which the Mo bloodline has.

Planet Citlali.

Evening in the middle of the forest. As Marshal Sirius walked away from the crowd, he halted his steps when he noticed they were already gone. Then he stares at the dragon and phoenix pair quantum beast following a meter distance behind him. Once his cold eyes landed on the two beasts they flinched and hugged each other. They were looking vigilantly at the Marshal as if they couldn't recognize him.

They weren't that insensitive like those humans before. They knew that this person who wears the skin of the Marshal is no longer the same one from before. There is something about this man that greatly frightened them. This is why they weren't willing to approach him closely.

The Marshal looked at the black dragon whose connection is related to him and said, "Do you no longer recognize your master, Roi?"

[...Master? Is it really you? But your aura and demeanor had completely changed. You have more darkness now than before... and much more dangerous...]

"Believe it or not. The connection you have with me as my ego is still there," said Marshal Sirius.

[Hm? There is indeed a connection. You are definitely my master but... the soul has gotten stronger. Yes, as strong no... even stronger than Master Feng Jing!]

The marshal responded, "My soul was half sealed. Now I have fully awakened, this is normal. As for my wife... his soul is injured and this world cannot heal it at all." as he gently caressed his wife's cheeks. "Follow me closely or I will leave you here." 

Once the marshal had said this a space crack appeared out of nowhere. This is something he created to connect a portal to the dimensional space of his wife. The dragon and phoenix quantum beasts had followed after him and were welcomed by a paradise-like world. This is the first time these two beasts had seen such a surreal land, the air is cleaner than the world they came from and the qi in this place is a few levels higher than in the original world. There are also many unknown creatures living in the area. But these creatures didn't dare to approach them, each of these monsters was highly powered and a lot more powerful than they are.

Roi and Reine knew why these beasts and monsters were not approaching them. This is because of the man before them. Those things were extremely afraid of the Marshal.

The Marshal glanced at the quantum beasts and said, "You can roam around but do not destroy anything. This is our family's backyard." said the marshal as the two saw their master walk towards a huge glowing tree.

The tree roots of the white colossal tree are a clear pond but the qi in this water is much richer than the ones on the air. They watched as the marshal removed his and Feng Jing's clothes and went into the pond. He leaned his back on the tree trunk and let Feng Jing sleep on top of him.

They watch as that cold-blooded man who looks at them like bugs suddenly turn to love when caring for the exquisite beauty in his arms.

"Do not disturb us. We need to meditate here for a bit. Do your own things." said the Marshal as he crossed legs and placed Feng Jing on his lap in the same position. He is helping him gather the divine qi emitted by the world tree. This is to help him accumulate qi faster to nourish his wife's soul and heal his wounds.

After saying those words he closed his eyes and focused on what he was doing. He left the quantum beasts to his own. They've stayed inside the dimensional space for a while to heal. As for the problems in the camp, everything was left for Xue Ying and the others to control.
