Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 659 - 636: Soul Suppressing Seal (1/3)

Zhou Tong had a lot to share with Zhou Heng, mostly about some interesting matters regarding the Zhou Family, especially Zhou Yanran. Clearly, Zhou Tong harbored deep "resentments" toward this clan sister, and he was quite fearful of her, involuntarily shuddering whenever her name came up.

To scare the Little Overlord like that, could Zhou Yanran actually be a witch?

Actually, instilling fear in someone doesn’t always require fierceness, just look at Huo Tian. Doesn’t Black Donkey act like a mouse when he sees a cat around her?

Zhou Tong specifically discussed with Zhou Heng the precautions needed for advancing to the Sunshine King, a breakthrough to a Great Realm, signifying a qualitative leap from Bright Moon to Red Sun.

The two talked for at least four or five hours before Zhou Tong finally escorted Zhou Heng back to the starship of the Lian Family. He didn’t disembark and directly set off, like Zhou Heng, he too preferred to avoid social interactions.

The opening of the Imperial Dragon Hall was imminent, and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense. The arrival of the Flowing Cloud Shuttle almost triggered an attack from the Lian Family.

"Brother Zhou, you really kept me in the dark!" Lian Jingxiang greeted him, smiling at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng’s connection with the Eternal Evil Venerate, though not necessarily false, was a major trouble—no one knew if Juexian City might initiate a campaign to eradicate the lineage of Eternal throughout the Forty-Nine Immortal City.

If that happened, would the Lian Family be dragged into it?

In such a case, how could the small Lian Family withstand the might of the powerful Juexian City?

Should they continue to invest in Zhou Heng, or should they sever ties with him? Lian Jingxiang expressed her dilemma. As for Lian Youhao, after learning that Zhou Heng was capable of defeating Luo Wuji, he no longer had the face to meet Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng smiled. The Eternal lineage was currently being hunted by Juexian City. He would never admit such a connection deliberately. What others speculated was their business. Everyone had their reservations, and what if the indomitable Eternal Evil Venerate reappeared, stirring up a terrifying storm of blood and violence?

As long as he didn’t admit it, everyone could just play dumb.

"Brother Zhou, get ready. We should be leaving!" Lian Jingxiang added.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and said, "I think it’s best I separate from you all."

Lian Jingxiang was looking forward to Zhou Heng’s battle power, but she was more concerned about the negative impact that might come with him. She had secured several alliances for the Lian Family, but since everyone was guessing that Zhou Heng was descended from the Eternal Evil Venerate, they might decide to flee to clear their association!

Moreover, Zhou Heng would surely act together with Zhou Tong. Even if she wanted to rely on Zhou Heng, would the Little Overlord agree?

She thought it over but eventually didn’t persuade him. Her personal relationship with Zhou Heng was one thing, but the interests of the family were above all else and couldn’t possibly bend to her whims.

"Brother Zhou is extremely powerful, with a great chance to seize the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes. It seems we are the ones who might slow you down!" She flattered Zhou Heng a bit.

Zhou Heng smiled without saying a word. Although Yuwen Sword’s strongest Immortal Technique was the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes, the Imperial Dragon Hall surely wasn’t limited to just one Immortal Technique. He was one of the most famous Big Shots from ancient times, and any Immortal Technique of his was absolutely unparalleled.

"Here’s hoping we all succeed smoothly!" Zhou Heng said with a smile.

"I’ll take Brother Zhou’s good words to heart!" Lian Jingxiang smiled.

Zhou Heng returned to his room and called up Black Donkey. The opening of the Imperial Dragon Hall was imminent—it was time to depart!

"Hahaha, it’s finally my turn to make a move!" Black Donkey exclaimed joyfully as he began to prance around, "I’ve been so impatient. Watch me sweep those so-called geniuses off their feet!"

A man and a donkey boarded the deck, but Lian Youhao was quite displeased with Zhou Heng and hadn’t even left him a Flowing Cloud Shuttle.

"We’ll make our way by ourselves!" Zhou Heng wasn’t worried. With more than a day left before the formal opening of the Imperial Dragon Hall, there was plenty of time to get there. Moreover, he didn’t believe that once the restrictions opened, the Immortal Techniques could be freely picked up by anyone.

They leaped into the vast starry sky, hurtling towards the continent ahead. After more than three hours, they finally neared the land embedded with Supreme Immortal Techniques.

"This gravity is intense!" Black Donkey suddenly exclaimed, "It’s so heavy, my butt is about to fall off!"

This cheeky donkey was naturally exaggerating, but indeed, the gravity here was exorbitantly strong. No wonder once a starship came down, it could not fly away, as trying to forcibly ascend would only cause the starship to break apart!

The two landed on the continent, where naturally, the gravity felt even stronger. Even Zhou Heng preferred the idea of walking on the ground rather than flying up.

This was a vast continent, its surface area not much smaller than Xihai City, but the scope of activity for everyone was limited to about two hundred li into the continent from its edges.

Going beyond that was not possible, as they would be brutally shredded by terrifying forces!

Even a Creation Emperor wouldn’t die, but he too lacked the strength to advance further, equivalent to a Peak Creation Emperor exerting full force!

Yuwen Sword likely belonged to the same category as the Old Blood River Ancestor, Dongguo Heng, who had touched that threshold or perhaps even crossed it, thus managing to leave behind restrictions that even a Creation Emperor could not break after his departure.

As for the life and death of Yuwen Sword, it had already become a legend, with all records obliterated in the turmoil that struck the Immortal Realm a million years ago.

Although many eyed the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes, the continent was too vast, too immense. People were dispersed along the periphery, possibly with several groups choosing the same landing spot, but it was by no means crowded.

Zhou Heng and Black Donkey chose their landing spot with three other parties already present. They picked this spot for its elevated terrain which offered a good vantage point, whereas other nearby areas were cluttered with boulders.

These three parties also had Sunshine Kings amongst them—otherwise, there was basically no point in entering here. Even if treasures were encountered, they couldn’t be obtained, and one might just have to watch helplessly or even risk being silenced!

Although Zhou Heng was known as the Moonlight Emperor, after two battles at Hu Mei’s banquet, who really dared treat him as just a Moonlight Emperor?

Seeing him approaching, the faces of people from the three sides slightly changed, but no one spoke.

Without a treasure, there naturally wouldn’t be any conflict. Who would start a fight for no reason?

Of course, that was another matter when the Black Donkey acted up.

Meeting by chance, Zhou Heng didn’t intend to greet him. He sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the final activation of the restriction. He even specifically instructed the Black Donkey not to cause any trouble.

"Hey, hey, hey, brother-in-law-to-be, so you were here, making this miss search everywhere for you!" Zhou Heng had not been sitting long when he heard a chirping voice arise, and Bing Xiulan had already flown down from the sky.

Although her cultivation level was only that of a Moonlight King, theoretically, she shouldn’t be able to fly here, yet she just flew over effortlessly as if gravity had no effect on her whatsoever.

"Yikes, who is this ugly freak?" the Black Donkey stood up and sized up the plain-looking girl.

"A talking donkey?" Bing Xiulan seemed quite surprised. She looked the Black Donkey up and down and even reached out to grab its mouth as if she wanted to pull it open for a better look.

"Ugly freak, I warn you not to touch me, for Donkey Master is no ordinary donkey!" the Black Donkey raised a hoof in warning.

"What an interesting donkey!" Bing Xiulan’s eyes sparkled as she said to Zhou Heng, "I want this donkey!"

"Psh, who do you think you are? You’re fit to be a maid for me! Bah, I don’t need an ugly freak as a maid!" the Black Donkey looked at Bing Xiulan with disdain.

"A personality, I like it!" Bing Xiulan abruptly pounced on the Black Donkey, wrapping her arms around its neck, "I declare this donkey mine now. Here, let me stamp it for you!"

She even took out a stamp and thwacked it onto the Black Donkey’s behind.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" the Black Donkey jumped and bucked Bing Xiulan off his back, then said to Zhou, "Zhou, do you know this crazy witch?"

"I don’t!" Zhou Heng shook his head.

"Crazy witch, I warn you, come over again, and I’ll stomp a flower on your face!" the Black Donkey warned Bing Xiulan again.

"Hahaha, stamp! Stamp!" Bing Xiulan truly showed the potential of a crazy witch, playfully waving the stamp and trying to hit the Black Donkey with it again.

Zhou Heng glanced at the stamp and immediately noticed that it was covered with array patterns. The ink shone with a divine glow, definitely not something ordinary! If someone were to be hit by that stamp, they’d certainly end up with an array pattern on their body!

Different array patterns have different effects, but it was unclear what effect this particular pattern had. However, no one would go through the trouble of engraving an array pattern onto a stamp and embedding it with precious ink for no reason!

"What does this stamp do?" Zhou Heng casually asked.

"Oh, this!" Bing Xiulan grinned, showing two sharp little canine teeth, surprisingly giving off a kind of cute aura, "It’s a Soul Suppressing Seal. As long as it stamps you, you have to obey my orders until the mark disappears!"

What, what!

Zhou Heng was startled, and the Black Donkey even more so, his entire fur bristled. Donkey Master almost got caught just now!

This girl was ruthless!

"There’s such a thing?" Zhou Heng was filled with curiosity.

"Fun, right? Shh, I secretly took it. Don’t shout about it, or I’ll be in trouble!" Bing Xiulan made a silencing gesture.

Zhou Heng started to sweat; this girl was playing too dangerously!

"I warn you, don’t come any closer, or Donkey Master will give you a face full of peach blossoms!" the Black Donkey sternly warned once more, although the Soul Suppressing Seal was a good object, a treasure, he could only secretly drool over it.

Not just the Black Donkey was anxious; Zhou Heng also didn’t want this girl to come near. If it were as she said, the Soul Suppressing Seal was too domineering. What would happen if he was unconsciously controlled?

"Yo, this filthy donkey is too lewd. I don’t like it. I don’t want you as a mount anymore!" Bing Xiulan wrinkled her cute nose and put away the Soul Suppressing Seal.

The Black Donkey finally relaxed, sitting down on the ground and muttering "Little Witch".

Zhou Heng looked at Bing Xiulan and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Obviously, I came to check you out to see if you qualify to be my brother-in-law!" Bing Xiulan declared immediately.

"I have no interest in being your brother-in-law, so, please go back!"

"My sister is very pretty, you know, just a tiny bit less than me!" Bing Xiulan said proudly.

Zhou Heng looked at her plain face, sighed, and thought—where does this girl get her confidence from? (To be continued.
