Chapter 1058: Pseudo-saint’s Badge

Everyone knew that Feiyun was playing hardball but couldn’t do anything about it.

The Divine Guardian remained calm. The golden radiance slowly seeped back into his body, the same with his armor and special form. He returned back into an old man wearing a simple robe.

“Young man, you are very intelligent and know what to do to protect yourself. However, if you don’t agree to my demand, you might be trapped here forever.” He said.

Feiyun was aware of his current circ.u.mstance and smiled: “I’m not in a rush, it’s fine to stay here for a few centuries but the problem is, I don’t know if Sacred Court will last that long.”

“You!” An elder from the tribe wanted to teach him a lesson. Alas, the guardian stopped him too.

“Very well, I will agree that we will not pursue what you and your friends have done here if you bring me an official summon from the lord. This is my biggest concession. If you don’t agree, I will suppress you here for an eternity.” The Divine Guardian acquiesced.

Feiyun lamented in his mind. This old man has lived for too long and it’s not easy to take advantage of him.

“Even if I agree to bring a summon back, how can you guarantee my safety during?” Feiyun smiled: “Furthermore, the lord is so afraid of Azure so if I come out of nowhere and tell him about a summon request so that you can kill Azure, I doubt he’ll agree. In fact, he might sell me out instantly.”

The Divine Guardian mused for a moment before taking out a badge: “I created this badge and left an avatar inside. As long as there is enough spirit stones to provide energy, you will be able to exert the power of a pseudo-saint. Use it to save yourself when necessary.”

d.a.m.n, so he’s really a pseudo-saint.

Feiyun stared at the old man and accepted the badge. If this was true, then he wouldn’t need to be afraid of anyone. In fact, just the runes on the badge alone could frighten opponents.

“If I don’t come back, this avatar will eliminate me, no?” Feiyun cautiously asked.

“Yes. You need to get the summon order within three days or it will automatically destroy you.” The Divine Guardian said: “However, in the case of success, you may keep it.”

“Good, it’s a deal.” Feiyun put away the badge and thought that the deal was worth it.

Of course, before leaving the treasury, he also asked for more spirit stones. After all, the badge required too many spirit stones. He would be an idiot to use his own.

Feiyun didn’t know how many spatial stones he filled but he needed a full pouch. The guardian members gritted their teeth and cursed him for being too greedy.

“Treasures have been brought here every year, some bring a sacred order to take treasures out as well. However, none of them talk about the current situation. This shows that this Azure has complete control over those outside the treasury so you need to be careful. Don’t let them recognize you and inform Azure.” The Divine Guardian said.

“Don’t worry, I will do my job well after being paid.” Feiyun happily shook the pouch and then put it away. He put on the dragon-phoenix robe and disappeared from sight.

“A garment made from invisible silk strings? I can rest a.s.sured then.” The guardian nodded approvingly and then took him to the entrance.

It was dark outside - a place surrounded by spirit gra.s.ses and old trees.

Not far from there was a patrol riding red tigers, looking powerful and experienced. There were camps nearby to guard the treasury. Some had impressive auras resembling primal beasts.

‘They’re from the Azure faction, looks like he truly cares about this treasury.’ Feiyun remained cautious despite being invisible.

If they were to find out that he has just come out of the treasury, the badge alone might not be able to save him. This was definitely a forbidden area.

Fortunately, they initially entered from a different entrance so these guards had no idea.

Feiyun killed a solo patroller and reduced him to ashes. He changed to the guy’s appearance and put on his armor before joining the group.

“The territory lords have arrived at the sacred court. Tomorrow will be the vow feast, a monumental occasion indeed.”

Feiyun heard one of them speaking and became emotional. All the territory lords were here?

He came over and smiled: “Brothers, what are you talking about? A vow feast?”

“Haha, brat, you need to study more. Our dynasty wants to annihilate the Yin World this time. The territory lords have gathered their men here at Sacred Court, waiting for an order to attack. This will be a historical event.”

“The vow feast includes the territory lords and the top geniuses from all over the dynasty. They will come up with the proper strategies for the invasion.”

“I heard the lords and geniuses from the other dynasties will come too.”

“Even experts from the demon race are coming as guests.”

Feiyun frowned after hearing this, thinking that it wasn’t so simple. The territory lords haven’t gathered since the decline of Sacred Court. This was the first time in 30,000 years.

There has to be more to this. He quietly left the area with the help of the disguise.

He entered a city nearby. It was near the palace of the sacred lord, hence its prosperity and high population. The influx of visitors only added to the liveliness.

It didn’t take long before the turtle came to see him.

“d.a.m.n, an idiot’s life is more resilient than even a turtle’s.” The turtle climbed up the table and poured himself a cup of wine.

Feiyun was staying on the third floor by the window of a restaurant. He ordered several delicacies and the finest bottle of wine.

He looked down at the street and saw cultivators riding spirit beasts and merchants selling items and alchemy.

The buildings nearby had beautiful singing and plenty of male visitors. They recited poems, wanting to earn the love of the beauties. Some were dueling as well, causing rays to go everywhere.

Many stories happened tonight. Tomorrow, some geniuses would become famous; others would be lucky enough to come home with a beauty.

“How did you find me?” Feiyun took a sip and became curious.

“Keke, my grandson knew that you has just gotten out and brought me here.”

“Hi, uncle.” The fruit flew out of the sh.e.l.l and respectfully greeted him.

“Only the two of you are here? What about Bi Ningshuai and his grandpa? And the Evil Woman?” Feiyun asked.

“We absolutely got rich from the treasury, it’s just that the sharing wasn’t fair and it caused a minor conflict. The two thieves and the Evil Woman got into it. Fortunately, we ran away in time to not be dragged into the mess.”

Feiyun said exasperatedly: “They dared to provoke her? Did she take all of their spirit stones as a result?”

“At the start, they said that she didn’t have a good place to keep so many spirit stones and should divide them with everyone else. The Evil Woman retorted, saying something about the two of them not being righteous and undeserving of their treasures. She demanded that they hand the treasures over to her for safekeeping. That’s how the fight got started.” The turtle said.

“Not being righteous? She’s the one who stole and killed the most.” Feiyun said.

“Right, so next, she became furious and nearly killed Grandpa Bi with one blow. Bi Ningshuai didn’t say anything but she beat him down too, he bled from all orifices. Nonetheless, the two of them are still successors from a famous lineage and had top escape arts. They actually managed to run away from her. She chased after them but I don’t know what happened afterward.”
