Chapter 585: A Gift for Jue Wushen

The East Sea.

The sea breeze howls.

The clouds are thick and heavy.

Ink-black clouds hang down from the sky, as if meeting the surface of the sea.

A dozen or so large ships arrive from Dongying, their momentum vast and mighty.

At this moment, another gust of sea breeze howls, and the waves churn, rising dozens of zhang high like a massive wall of water, crashing toward the lead ship with a "splash."

Boom!

A violent fist aura blasts out.

Emitting a sound like rolling thunder, it directly shatters the waves.

And the person who threw this punch is none other than Jue Wushen, who has traveled from Dongying with the intention of unifying the Central Plains.

Jue Wushen stands tall and burly at the bow of the ship, his entire person appearing like a giant god. He is clad in dark Iron battle armor, standing with his hands behind his back, giving off a domineering aura similar to Xiongba, yet with a hint of cold cruelty.

On these dozen or so large ships are five thousand of the most elite Ghost Rakshasa. This is the reason why, aside from his own martial prowess, Jue Wushen has been able to run rampant in Dongying and threaten the Emperor.

These five thousand Ghost Rakshasa were all carefully selected; they are true elites.

In terms of strength, they are even more formidable than the two thousand Ghost Rakshasa that Juexin brought out before.

Coming to the Central Plains this time, Jue Wushen is full of confidence.

Juexin has already brought the entire Central Plains martial arts world under his control; his arrival this time is not just to take over Juexin's fruits of labor, but to go a step further and hold the entire Shenzhou land in his hands.

And the method he has conceived is to control the Emperor, have Juexin disguise himself, and then force an abdication to him.

It must be said that this guy is quite adept at poisoning and conspiracy. But when it comes to political acumen, it is as childish as playing house. Yet, if he were to actually complete his plan, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Central Plains.

After several days of sailing, the ships have neared the shore.

Looking at the empty coastline, Jue Wushen frowns slightly.

He had previously sent word via letter to Jue Tian that he would arrive in the Central Plains today, yet there is no Juexin to welcome him on the shore, not even a single Ghost Rakshasa.

"What is going on? Has some mishap occurred? Or could it be that unfilial son wants to rebel?" A slight premonition of misfortune arises in Jue Wushen's heart, but it is quickly suppressed.

This time, the Wushen Absolute Palace has essentially emptied its nest; aside from the Ghost Rakshasa guarding the main base, all the capital accumulated over these years has been brought along.

Not only are there Ghost Rakshasa, but also two disciples, Juedi and Tianxing.

As well as Dongying experts like the "Ten Great Qi Ninjas" who submitted to him after being defeated, plus his own Indestructible Golden Body and Three Great Killing Fists.

He believes that even without any conspiratorial means, he could sweep across the Central Plains with no equal.

Suddenly.

A figure flashes on the shore.

It is a young girl who looks very gentle and pretty, holding a blade in one hand and a bundle in the other, her head slightly raised as she looks at Jue Wushen, blinking her beautiful eyes: "Are you Jue Wushen?"

"Indeed, I am Jue Wushen, and who are you?" Jue Wushen says loudly.

The young girl uses her light-body technique, like a swallow in the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, she has flown before Jue Wushen, light as a feather: "My name is Di Er Meng, Brother Yu sent me."

"Hm?"

"The City Lord of Wushuang City, the compiler of the Terror List, the 'I' of the Fourteen Terrors, the owner of the yet-to-be-forged peerless divine artifact..."

"Wait, I know now, you are talking about Yu Liancheng?"

Jue Wushen ponders for a moment and recalls that there is indeed such a person as Yu Liancheng, but hasn't the Central Plains martial arts world already been controlled by Juexin? What kind of trick is this?

Besides, isn't this guy's title a bit too long?

Jue Wushen secretly makes a gesture, signaling the Ten Great Qi Ninjas and Juedi and Tianxing behind him to prepare to ambush the young girl, while saying indifferently: "I wonder what he asked you to come find me for."

"Brother Yu asked me to deliver a sentence and a gift to you."

Just as Di Er Meng's words fall, a phantom image flashes before Jue Wushen's eyes, the blade light explodes violently, and "Xiaolou" has already slashed toward him. This strike comes so fast that even with Jue Wushen's cultivation, he does not have time to react. Fortunately, he created the Indestructible Golden Body based on the Shaolin Golden Bell Cover.

The Protective Qi Cover moves with his will, expanding instantly.

Although this strike is fast, it is a pity that the power is lacking; "Xiaolou" hacks into the Protective Qi Cover, causing the cover to slightly cave in and deform, but it cannot advance even a fraction further.

Jue Wushen, the Ten Great Qi Ninjas, and Juedi and Tianxing are preparing to strike to keep the young girl, but the green figure before their eyes spins and turns in mid-air, her form transforming into a gust of wind, already drifting to the bow of the ship.

"Brother Yu was right, I really can't cut you, you're as hard as a turtle shell." Di Er Meng sheathes her blade, unfolds her light-body technique again, and transforms into a green figure, already drifting far away: "What Brother Yu said is, Jue Wushen, for a small fry like you, if you roll back to Dongying early, you might still save your dog life; otherwise, if you dare to come to Baijian Villa to act presumptuously, I will leave you without a burial ground."

After speaking, her shadow is completely gone.

Jue Wushen does not pursue.

It is not because he is magnanimous, but for a very simple reason.

He cannot catch up.

This guy's skills are all hard-hitting, and when it comes to light-body techniques, he is far inferior.

As for the bunch of goods under his command, they are not famous for their light-body techniques either.

Jue Wushen's expression is somewhat ugly.

He came this time with the ambition of hegemony to conquer the Central Plains, yet he did not expect to suffer a setback the moment he appeared.

"A sentence, a gift." Jue Wushen turns his gaze to the bundle at his side, which was left behind by Di Er Meng: "The words have been spoken, so the gift is inside. Someone, open it and take a look."

Juedi, one of Jue Wushen's disciples, steps forward and opens the bundle, and inside the bundle is a box.

Juedi hesitates for a moment, then carefully opens the box, fearing that some hidden weapon might suddenly shoot out from it.

What first emerges from the box is a chill; it seems the object inside is prone to decay, so ice was used to preserve it.

And inside the box, aside from crushed ice, is a head.

A head that almost everyone present recognizes.

The head of Jue Wushen's son, Juexin.

The expression of fear, despair, and disbelief still remains on the face of this head, vivid and extraordinary.

The deck instantly becomes deathly silent, the atmosphere extremely oppressive, as if a large stone is pressing on everyone's heart. Even their breathing slows down, for fear of disturbing Jue Wushen and causing him to vent his anger upon them.

Juexin is the only heir of Jue Wushen and the Young Fungong of the Wushen Jue Palace; everyone understands that his status is of paramount importance.

This time, Jue Wushen sent him on an expedition to the Central Plains specifically to establish his prestige within the Wushen Jue Palace in advance.

Yet now, he has been killed just like that.

Jue Wushen's chest heaved up and down, and everyone could feel the monstrous rage in his heart. His fists were tightly clenched, his bones creaking and popping.

"Damn it, Yu Liancheng, I will definitely raze Baijian Villa to the ground and sever your head."

In reality, if Yu Liancheng had sent the head to Dongying back then, given Jue Wushen's temperament, he would either have been furious and led the Ghost Brake Army to raze the Central Plains, or he would have been scared out of his wits and become timid and cautious.

But now, he had already come...

Besides, Juexin's head had been delivered right in front of countless subordinates.

He couldn't just slink away in defeat, could he?

If that were the case, what prestige would Jue Wushen have left to speak of?

Razing Baijian Villa was imperative.

Baijian Villa.

Sword Pool.

Yu Liancheng opened the white porcelain bottle in his hand, and with a thought, several drops of blood flew out from the bottle, shooting toward the Jianlu with a "swish," where they were subsequently absorbed by the peerless divine artifact, which then emitted the sound of a dragon's roar.

Not bad.

Inside this porcelain bottle was none other than the blood of the current Emperor.

Although the current Emperor had experts guarding him, for peerless existences like Yu Liancheng and Mo Baisuzhen, they were still somewhat weak; taking a few drops of his blood really didn't require much effort.

"The blood of the Heavenly Sword, the blood of the True Dragon, the Demon blood of Di Yi Xie Huang, plus the blood of the two hegemons Xiongba and Jue Wushen, and on top of that, the Phoenix blood of that old fellow, as well as the blood of thousands of Ghost Brake Army..."

Yu Liancheng cast his gaze toward the long sword suspended in mid-air amidst countless flames, saying in a calm tone: "The day it leaves the furnace is not far off."

"However... it seems I haven't chosen a good name for it yet."

PS: Does any brother have a good-sounding name? This weapon can constantly transform and combines the advantages of the Four Great Divine Stones and the Great Evil King. The name I came up with is "Ten Thousand Ways of Infinity."
