Chapter 730: Yama’s Left Hand

White fog engulfed today’s morning .

Chicken and dogs served as an alarm in Yue, a small village . Several young members of the clans here have left their bed in order to train inside their courtyard or on the streets .

These children weren’t that old but they were spirited and hard workers, issuing loud groans with each punch or kick .

The place was near the border of Ancient Jiang . The majority of the people here trained in crude martial arts in order to hunt and survive .

Inside the only inn in town, Feiyun woke up, looking very comfortable . Inside the blank was still the fragrance and heat of a woman .  

It looked like she had only just left . He sat up and smiled, seemingly recalling the event last night .

“Creak . ” Bai Ruxue pushed the door open and went inside . She wore a white dress without any decoration; her white hair draped down to the waist without using any hairpin, not even a hairband . This actually gave her a natural look of beauty .

She carried a bronze basin for washing and began serving Feng Feiyun: “I saw Miss Yao leaving a while ago . ”

She had shimmering eyes, long and thin brows, and a tinge of red could be found on her otherwise perfectly white skin .

Feiyun nodded . After a short pause, he said: “I thought you had left as well . ”

She tidied his hair after washing his face . Her jade-like hands suddenly stopped as she spoke: “I’m sure I would be dead right now if I had left last night . ”

“Yao Ji pleaded for you yesterday so I had decided to spare you anyway . I gave you a chance to escape last night and I wouldn’t have pursued this any further . ”

She could tell that he was speaking the truth so she naturally regretted her decision . Alas, she knew that it was too late so she smiled and said: “Even someone like Miss Yao wants to curry favor and get closer to you, I should be doing the same too . Just being a concubine isn’t bad… No, this is just wishful thinking from me… Plus, there’s nothing good in being a concubine . Your wives will try to kill me . Just being a maid is fine . ”

“Haha!” Feiyun laughed and didn’t say anything else .

The two had moved seven thousand miles from the village at noon . They saw many cities along the way and stopped in one to buy an expensive carriage from a branch of the Yin Gou . Three 800-year-old tiger-lion hybrids pulled it .

They were more than six meters long with golden fur and two wings so they could also fly - capable of traveling 300,000 miles a day .

Their flying speed was fast but this required more energy than running on the ground . If it was a long journey with no rush, it was better to stay down .

Jin had an expansive road network built by many generations for the sake of war transportation of both troops and resources . They connected the various prefectures and had both land and river paths .

On this main road, not to mention three hybrids, even ten could move in parallel .

Feng Feiyun inside the carriage took out a stone chest with runes around the surface - a meter long and extremely heavy .

One could feel yin energy oozing from it, cold enough to freeze someone down to the bones .

Yao Ji gave it to him and said that it was more precious than a fourth-ranked spirit treasure .

He had a general idea of what it was and opening this confirmed it - the left hand of Yama!

Inside was a bloodied arm with numerous evil runes around it . Just one strand of evil energy nearly turned the carriage into ashes . Fortunately, Feiyun closed the chest in time .

Nevertheless, the expensive carriage had numerous holes now, becoming as shabby as can be, almost as if it had just been excavated from the ground .

“Raaa!” The tiger-lion hybrids roared due to the explosion .

The entire caravan stopped . Bai Ruxue who was acting as the driver quickly asked: “Young Noble, what happened just now?”

She couldn’t call him “Divine King” any longer since they were in hiding . “Young Noble” became more fitting .

“It’s nothing, keep going . ” Feiyun calmly said .

Bai Ruxue had many questions and slightly frowned . However, she didn’t dare to go against him right now due to his cultivation . She continued controlling the hybrids .

Early this morning, Feiyun had used his Ascension Platform to take away a strand of her soul . That’s why she needed to obey all of his commands .

She was a smart woman and he needed to take all the necessary precautions if he wanted to make use of her .

‘Why does Yao Ji have this? Just getting more mysterious each day . ” Feiyun grimaced .

‘Fuse this arm into your body, you will become far stronger . ’ Yama came out of nowhere and spoke, slightly emotional .

‘You’re the one who will get stronger . ’ Feng Feiyun said .

‘It’s mutually beneficial . You will gain the malefic force in my arm while I regain my power and soul . No one loses . ’ Yama said .

Feng Feiyun remained unmoved and closed the chest, putting it back into his spatial stone .

‘Fuse this left arm and I will lend you my power to you once for free . This might save your life later . ’ Yama hurriedly added .

Feiyun became tempted after hearing this . Yama’s power was similar to a pseudo-Enlightened Being right now . With this left arm, the guy would become even stronger . Being able to borrow this power at a key moment would be good .

Of course, this is dangerous as well, no different than playing with a tiger . If Yama grew strong enough to get out of his control, Yama might take over his body .  

He still had the phoenix soul to threaten the guy with a detonation but who knows what could happen in the future?

He simply needed to stop Yama from growing stronger for now . However, the Buddhist affinity of Golden Silkworm Scripture was relatively effective in suppressing Yama .

“We have a deal then . ” Feiyun smiled and gathered energy into his palm . This Buddhist affinity surrounded the entire chest in order to stop the evil energy from coming out a second time .

He truly needed power right now so this risk was necessary . He began refining the left arm into his own .

The aura emanating from the carriage frightened the other cultivators on the same path . They knew that there was a great master inside .

“A lord is coming through, probably to participate in the heretical conference in Mount Potala . ” A grand completion God Base in full armor and riding a bull stared at the disappearing carriage .

He was a caravan’s guard; his weapon of choice was a spear .

“When will I become that powerful? Did you all see that female driver? As pretty as can be, I’ve never seen someone that pretty before, just like a goddess from heaven . ” Another said .

“Keke, so what if she’s outrageously pretty? Just another toy for that lord . When you become a lord like that, you will also have numerous beauties . Just train hard and get all the women you want later . ” A different guard added .

On the thirteenth day, the carriage made it through Central Royal into the territory of Myriad Mines Prefecture . It took another three days to get through this prefecture for Earthchild .

Central Royal Prefecture was the largest in Jin, spanning for more than one hundred thousand miles . Ordinary people would never be able to travel this distance .

Earthchild was the second largest with plenty of cultivation sects . The court’s influence had weakened in this place . Anyone could see this .

Tiny prefectures like Grand Southern and Myriad Mines couldn’t compare . Just one county from Earthchild was as large as them .

“We’ve finally made it to Earthchild . ” Feiyun got down from the carriage and stared at this massive land .

His eyes were red like rubies once more . He had successfully infused the left arm into his body so his cultivation clearly improved again .

He slowly raised his left hand and added some force . Black runic lines rushed out and assaulted the Jin River ahead .

“Boom!” They condensed into a void blade, splitting the water into two halves .

This was only the power of a casual swing .

“Splash!” The water returned again, resulting in a deafening splash with waves towering at dozens of meters .

“Ruxue, I heard from a friend that there is an old Buddhist pagoda built ten thousand years ago here . Do you know where it is?” He asked, no longer as cold to her as before .

She has been very obedient and served as his maid along the way, even often taking the initiative of serving him in bed .

She was clumsy in the beginning and didn’t know what to do . However, with his guidance, she became increasingly skilled and knew how to please him .
