Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1434 - 173: Nine-tailed Jade Fox

Emperor’s Wooden Cabin.

"Zhou Yan, Gu Xi, the things that need to be explained have been explained, Zhou Yan, your gains this time are unexpectedly good, it seems that future hopes have become more clear."

"This time, you’ll go to Shanjian City and disguise yourself as a young man named ’Su Wen.’ His appearance—you can replace with mine. You’ll naturally sense the specific matters then."

"Su Wen’s family is the family associated with Su Nu, and in Shanjian City, it’s an ancient domain within the realm of Eternal Life Beings. Li Su Nu has an arm sealed there; you should retrieve it and refine it."

"It is left to you by your mother."

"As for her situation, it’s similar to Feng Zishuang’s; it’s a necessary sealing method after being invaded by an Evil Spirit, even if she lives countless next lives, there will still be some residue. But that arm was purified; after refining it, you’ll awaken the true bloodline will of the Li family, which will have great benefits regarding the Creation Immortal Principle, and also transformational effects on your Thunder Seal.

And there is also a Lotus Platform, take it and let the Hong Jun Sword devour it, it will greatly benefit the Hong Jun Ancestor."

"However, this is not easy, do not take it lightly."

The Emperor made clear arrangements for subsequent matters.

This is what he entrusted Zhou Yan to do, his charge.

Yet this charge, undoubtedly, is also for Zhou Yan’s fulfillment.

Zhou Yan agreed to the Emperor without hesitation.

In fact, even if the Emperor did not mention this, Zhou Yan would certainly visit Shanjian City, Hou Chen has very unique talents, possibly learning the inheritance of the Ancient Fu Xi Clan, and Liu Haoxin too.

Of course, there’s also Qian Yao, Jiang Yaoshi, and others who are not lacking either; having more heritage is ultimately favorable.

However, assuming the identity of Su Wen, some matters require Zhou Yan to plan differently.

For example, going to his sealed territory for hard practice will have to be postponed.

Zhou Yan immediately agreed: "Rest assured, Emperor, I will certainly go all out to accomplish this perfectly."

"Hmm, I know that upon going to Shanjian City, you will still encounter Hou Chen and others, even having connections, but remember, you are Su Wen, not Zhou Yan. Do not reveal anything about Zhou Yan, can you do this?"

The Emperor said this with utmost gravity.

This time, his seriousness exceeded Zhou Yan’s expectations.

Seeing the Emperor like this, Zhou Yan finally understood, the Emperor’s crucial entrustment lies here.

But since the Emperor says so, and that place, being where his mother—Master of Heavenly Punishment’s mother Li Su Nu’s race resides, it must be extraordinary, Zhou Yan wouldn’t have even a bit of carelessness.

"Thus, I’ll take on another identity to go there."

As Zhou Yan said this, he controlled his Soul Body, and a green-robed woman flew out from his brow.

The green-robed woman’s form kept changing, ultimately transforming into the likeness of Fu Xi, the Emperor.

Yet this appearance wasn’t entirely like the Emperor, instead, it had hints of Natural Form’s elegance and Elf Race’s traits, along with some resemblance to Li Su Nu’s features.

This appearance bore a striking resemblance to Zhou Yan, echoing one part him, five parts Emperor, and four parts Li Su Nu’s features.

Zhou Yan wasn’t entirely sure of Li Su Nu’s appearance, but he was familiar with the statue’s engraved features resembling the mysterious woman he once saw while traversing Heaven and Earth, a woman that, based on Zhou Yan’s current understanding, was undoubtedly Li Su Nu.

Therefore, this change was fundamentally transformative rather than a mere illusion.

After completing this change, Zhou Yan separated the Thunder Seal within the Eternal Spirit body, and sealed it into the character’s brow with Eight Diagrams Rune Secret Technique, while his own Soul Body sat in the core land within the brow, covered by Eternal Spirit.

Meanwhile, unique bloodlines were stimulated, Zhou Yan used the Three Pure Ones Technique, blending into this body.

At this moment, the body’s eyes ceased to be vacant, instead, they brightened instantly.

The Eternal Spirit of the figure was modified by the Thunder Seal and then purified by the aura of Enlightenment Tea, reaching complete congruence.

At this time, Zhou Yan displayed an elegant demeanor and smile, saying: "Beneath the Emperor, junior Su Wen pays respects."

Zhou Yan said this while bowing with slight curvature, offering a salute.

"Splendid, there’s pride, dignity, and an arrogance, noble air that sees nothing in its sight. Without knowing every detail of Su Wen, you understood, indeed impressive."

"However, if you didn’t possess such abilities, you wouldn’t be the Lord of Thunder Punishment."

The Emperor laughed.

Beside him, Gu Xi stared, mesmerized.

Her beautiful eyes saw Zhou Yan as incredibly radiant, full of charm.

So much so, that her heart unknowingly burned with unexplainable heat.

The Emperor then glanced at Gu Xi with amazement, his eyes displaying a benevolent smile.

Gu Xi’s face flushed with embarrassment, wishing to hide within a space fissure, the Emperor’s gaze was too clear, seemingly penetrating Gu Xi’s heart, causing her great shame.

"Xi’er, Zhou Yan is indeed outstanding, without the Master of Thunder Punishment’s sternness, more grounded, resembling a King raised as an ordinary man, hence any heart flutter you feel is normal, moreover, you need to adapt to such feelings, as, after endless tribulations, Zhou Yan finally broke out from the cocoon. The future world is his world, where he shines the brightest and burns the hottest."
