Chapter 2565: Feinting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Yakshas could be said to be one of the top clans below the ten major clans of the Infernal Realm. They had a powerful inheritance that was similar to eternal and indestructible Macroworld. Their cultivation methods were profound. They had many Saint Techniques and even Divine Artifacts. Their foundations were unfathomable.
The sacred ground of the Yakshas in Royal City of Hundred Clan, Night Ocean, occupied an area of eight hundred miles. It was the gathering place in this star area of the universe. The cultivation environment was excellent, and it wasn’t weaker than the top divine land of the ten clans of the Infernal Realm.
Various forces gathered in Night Ocean in large numbers. It was as if they were making a big move. The already tense Yakshas immediately activated their defensive formation.
A holy army of the Yakshas lined up at the mountain gate. All of them wore armor and held a set of weapons.
A genuine holy army comprised 100,000 Demi-Saints, 3,000 Saints, 100 Supreme Saints, and three Paramount realm Supreme Saints.
The armor they wore was precisely the same. It was engraved with the inscription of a formation. After activation, it could be combined into a defensive formation.
The weapons in their hands were engraved with the same inscription of an attack formation.
The weak realms in Celestial Court could even empty a macroworld if they wanted to refine the equipment of a holy army, let alone assemble the number of people they needed.
If the enemies they met were not strong, they could be split into three legions. Each legion would be led by a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint, and a Thousand-Koan Supreme Saints as the general.
Or, they could be split into a hundred and form a hundred holy war camps. Each holy war camp would be led by a Supreme Saint.
Or, they could be split into three thousand and form three thousand small squads.
Suppose they encountered powerful enemies, such as Demigods, pseudo gods, or even ordinary gods. In that case, even if these holy army soldiers were spread over 100,000 kilometers, they could instantly combine their powers to resist and kill the powerful enemies.
It could be said that cultivating such a holy army was enough to make a force invincible under divinity and sweep everything.
The Yakshas had deployed their army. It was obvious that they had long been prepared.
The imperial emperor of the Yakshas was already in his twilight years. He wore sacred armor and stood among the army soldiers. His voice was sonorous and ear-splitting. “I have said long ago that when the leaders of the major forces return from Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt, I will definitely give them an explanation. Step on our corpses if you can’t wait and want to attack the Yakshas’ sacred ground.”
“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The 100,000 soldiers of the Yakshas’ army shouted in unison, their killing intent soaring to the sky.
Although the major forces had countless experts, they were all scattered soldiers. Facing the might of an army, they couldn’t help but feel apprehensive and troubled.
It wasn’t until Scioness of Destiny, Pan Ruo, arrived that stopped the war from breaking out.
Lan Ying went up to meet her. His body was filled with killing intent. “Your Highness, please send the holy army of Fane of Destiny stationed outside into the city and destroy the Yakshas.”
“Why destroy the Yakshas?” Pan Ruo asked.
“Zhang Ruochen and Bai Qing’er entered the Yakshas, but the Yakshas stopped us from entering. Xue Jue Family, the Enchanteur Chamber, and the Yakshas plan to split Fane of Origin. Only by sending the holy army of Fane of Origin into the city can we break this situation.”
“Everyone, control yourselves first. I don’t think the Yakshas have the guts to make enemies with so many forces. I’ll go talk to the clan emperor.”
Pan Ruo entered the Yakshas and communicated with the clan emperor.
A moment later, she returned.
Cultivators from all the forces immediately surrounded her and asked for the results.
Pan Ruo had a strange look on her face. “The clan emperor said that Zhang Ruochen and Yan Zhexian went to the sacred ground of the Yakshas. They used a dimensional teleportation array and the spatial wormhole to go to their Ancestral Domain. They wanted to see the beautiful scenery of the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain.”
“They went to the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain? How is that possible?”
Hearing this result, all the Supreme Saints present were stunned. They didn’t believe it at all.
“That’s not right. Zhang Ruochen entered the Yakshas’ sacred ground with Bai Qing’er. Why is it Yan Zhexian now? There’s a problem, a big problem,” Yuan Benji said.
“The eldest daughter hasn’t left and has been in the sacred ground of Terra Demon.” a Supreme Saint of Yanluo Clan said.
Nan Sheng’s gaze was sharp. “Could it be that Fane of Origin isn’t in the Yakshas’ sacred ground but in the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain?”
“That’s entirely possible.”
“The Light of Origin that appeared in the Yakshas’ sacred ground is most likely just a pretense. It wants to pin us all down here. Bai Qing’er transformed into Yan Zhexian’s appearance and fooled the cultivators of the Yakshas. She successfully escaped with Zhang Ruochen.”
“These two b*stards are so ambitious.”
“Let’s go. We have to rush to the Yaksha’s Ancestral Domain immediately. If we’re too late, I’m afraid we won’t get any benefits from Fane of Origin.”
After learning the truth, the Yakshas’ emperor immediately called for a high-level meeting.
After the meeting, they all thought that Zhang Ruochen and Bai Qing’er had used the Yakshas! They had used them to block the cultivators from the big forces.
Fane of Origin was very likely in the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain.
After all, the Yakshas had once been glorious and had shaken Infernal Court. But then, it had suddenly fallen. Perhaps that was the reason why Fane of Origin had disappeared.
“It’s possible that our Yaksha has a forgotten history.”
“The Light of Origin can’t appear in the Yakshas’ sacred ground for no reason. Maybe this is a sign.”
The higher-ups of the Yakshas were all excited.
They saw the hope of the Yakshas’ revival. They could use Fane of Origin to stand at the top of the universe again.
After the Light of Origin appeared in Night Ocean, some big forces living in the center of Infernal Court came to them one after another. At that time, the higher-ups of the Yakshas became vigilant.
After many inquiries and spending a lot of Godstones, they finally knew the secret of the coming of Fane of Origin.
The emperor of the Yakshas had a deep look in his eyes. He said, “If Fane of Origin is in the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain, it can only mean that it was left by our ancestors. As descendants, we must protect it with our lives. We must never let it fall into the hands of outsiders.”
“That’s right! We will protect it with our lives. No one can touch it.”
“But Zhang Ruochen and Bai Qing’er have already gone to the Ancestral Domain.”
The Yakshas emperor laughed coldly. “The Ancestral Domain is the territory of the Yakshas. Let alone the two of them, even if two gods went, they wouldn’t be able to take Fane of Origin away. However, let’s not alarm them for now. It’s not too late to stop them after they found Fane of Origin.
“Supreme Saint Han Li, Supreme Saint Feng Yun, and Supreme Saint Qi will continue to be in charge of the army and protect Night Ocean. No cultivators are allowed to enter. The rest of the Supreme Saints will follow me back to the Ancestral Domain.”
Royal City of Hundred Clans was only a city built by 137 small clans at the border of Infernal Court. It was like a “small Celestial Court.”
As the number one clan in the Royal City of Hundred Clans, the Yakshas controlled 38 Macroworlds at the border of Infernal Court. There was countless Planet of Life.
The Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain had been passed down through the ages.
Legend had it that in the ancient past when the Yakshas were at their most glorious, they ruled over 300 macroworlds. But now, they had declined and became effete. They couldn’t even compare to a single clan of Immortal Vampires.
To go from the Royal City of Hundred Clans to the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain, one had to go through a wormhole.
Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin chose the fastest way. They used a dimensional teleportation array from the sacred ground of the Yakshas to teleport directly to the wormhole billions of miles away from the Royal City of Hundred Clans.
When the cultivators of the major forces gathered outside the sacred ground of the Yakshas, they had already arrived at the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain.
When the emperor of the Yakshas rushed back to the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain, he received news that Zhang Ruochen and the so-called Yan Zhexian had borrowed a dimensional teleportation array from the Ancestral Domain and left.
At this moment, more and more Supreme Saints of the Yakshas gathered near the dimensional teleportation array.
The cultivators guarding the dimensional teleportation array had never seen so many significant figures of the clan gathered. They all knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to move.
The Yakshas emperor said in exasperation, “Why did you let them in without asking?”
The person in charge of the transfer array said in fear, “One of them is the famous Zhang Ruochen, and the other is the eldest daughter of Yanluo Clan. How could we dare to ask? Besides, they have the token given by the Clan Emperor.”
The Yakshas emperor sighed with regret.
When Zhang Ruochen and Yan Zhexian visited, they only said they admired the culture, places of interest, and gods of the Yakshas and wanted to travel there. The Yakshas emperor wanted to make friends with them, so he didn’t think much and directly lent his token to Zhang Ruochen.
Who would have thought that Zhang Ruochen would go to the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain to find Fane of Origin?
It was too late to regret now.
A cultivator with profound cultivation of Path of Dimension studied the dimensional teleportation array for a long time, but he could not find anything. He could not help but shake his head and sigh.
He walked to the front of the Yakshas’ emperor. He bowed and said, “Zhang Ruochen’s Path of Dimension is exquisite. When he left through the dimensional teleportation array, he erased part of the Dimensional Inscription on the dimensional teleportation array. Now, tracking the coordinates of the space he teleported away from is difficult. It will take a long time to repair this dimensional teleportation array.”
The Yakshas’ emperor asked, “Can you tell if he teleported inside or outside the domain?”
The Path of Dimension cultivator shook his head with a bitter look.
Although his cultivation was far higher than Zhang Ruochen’s, his attainments in Path of Dimension were far from his level.
The disciple of the ancient god of the Yakshas, Jadea, Han Ailian said, “We can’t delay for too long. The major forces of Infernal Court will arrive at the Ancestral Domain soon. Will they believe us if we say we don’t know where Zhang Ruochen is?
“Obviously, Zhang Ruochen has already planned to use the Yakshas to deal with the cultivators following closely behind him. I even suspect that Fane of Origin isn’t in the sacred ground of the Yakshas. Likely, Zhang Ruochen has left the Ancestral Domain through dimensional teleportation array and went to the real place where Fane of Origin was born.”
“What do you think we should do?” the Yakshas’ emperor asked.
Han Aileen said, “Three steps. First, I’ll wake up my master, who is sleeping. Only when she wakes up can she sense if Zhang Ruochen is still in the Ancestral Domain. Moreover, with such a big thing happening, there should be a god to take charge of the situation.
“Second, I will send people to patrol the secret places in the Ancestral Domain and the planets in the outer universe. Since Zhang Ruochen has chosen to come to the Yakshas’ Ancestral Domain, he can’t just beat around the bush. Maybe Fane of Origin is really close to our Ancestral Domain.
“Third, the Clan Emperor must immediately meet the Scioness of Fane of Origin and tell her about the situation. It would be best if she could ask the elites of Fane of Origin to come here and use Path of Destiny to calculate the coordinates of Zhang Ruochen.
“In short, no matter what, we can’t let the Yakshas become the target of public criticism. If that happens, we will fall into Zhang Ruochen’s trap.”
“Alright, as you say. It seems that our clan also has some outstanding talents. I, the Clan Emperor, was the one who lost my head.” The Clan Emperor felt that he would be formidable in the future.
