Chapter 470 Five Spirits Return to Origin Slash (Page 12)

Last time, we talked about how Hei Yuan was facing the imminent death of the Yin Fire and Thunder Tribulation. He begged Li Yi to let him die with dignity and not let the Gu God use his body. So how will the story unfold next? Let's find out together.

While sending spiritual power to Hei Yuandu, Li Yi said, "I used the jade ring to seal the will of the Gu God into your body, but it won't last long without the injection of spiritual power, so you'll have to make do for a while."

After speaking, Li Yi transformed the Spirit Feather Arrow containing Yan Lana into a hairpin and inserted it into Hei Yuan's chest. The jade ring locked Hei Yuan's heart meridian, and the hairpin was inserted precisely between the ring and the two major arteries. In addition, Li Yi also casually removed the Phoenix Crown feathers from Hei Yuan's head.

Before Wuya arrived, Heiyuan asked, "That arrow clearly missed, so how did you use that ring to lock my heart meridian and seal the Gu God?"

“You and Cao Hai were both focused on that arrow, so you didn’t pay attention to your feet.” Li Yi stretched out his five fingers, and the osmanthus flower that had sealed the Black Abyss flew into his hand. Although it was broken and dilapidated, it still radiated a golden Buddhist light.

The instant the Spirit Feather Arrow pierced the Gu God Armor, Li Yi used Buddhist magic to transfer the jade ring into the osmanthus flower. This osmanthus flower had cast a spell on him when sealing the Black Abyss; once the jade ring entered, it would lock his heart meridian. This move was planned long ago by the Old Man of the Moon and the Heavenly Dao; Li Yi was merely following the guidance of Heaven.

"Those who should have died but did not die are called 'suspended death,' and you are already in the state of 'suspended death.' Heaven intends to use your death to control the weed infestation."

"It turns out that everything was arranged by God."

"Yes, everything..."

Kong Qinglin landed beside Li Yi with the bodies of Wu Ya and You Tu. Wu Ya immediately rushed to Hei Yuan's side and cried as she looked at the hairpin on his chest...

Looking at the motionless You Tu, Li Yi shook his head helplessly, reached out and pulled Kong Qinglin aside, saying, "Sigh, I really didn't expect Senior Brother to seek death himself. Big Brother is still protecting Senior Brother's body, he's truly thoughtful."

"We've fought side by side; we can't let the High Priest not even have a proper body left behind."

The two, who had been looking sorrowful, suddenly changed their tune and said in unison, "You go tell Lan Ze! I'm not going! You go!"

"It seems neither of us wants to talk, so let's make a bet, whoever loses goes!"

"What are you gambling?"

"Let's bet on how many feathers Brother has left on his tail!"

Why gamble on this?

"To be honest, elder brother, we'll need your feathers to set up a magic array to deal with the Gu God later, so..."

Kong Qinglin frowned and asked, "Why use my feathers?"

"The magic array set up with lightning-struck wood was destroyed by grass, as you saw, so this time I have to set it up even more carefully and securely."

Your feathers possess the attributes of metal, wood, and fire. The metal attribute is hard yet resilient, and also a good conductor of electricity; the wood attribute can absorb spiritual energy, and more importantly, its affinity can dissolve resentment; finally, combined with the fire attribute, which can counteract the Gu God Armor, you are the most suitable material for setting up a magic array!

Looking at Li Yi's expectant expression, Kong Qinglin said coldly, "I have a feeling you're up to something!"

"How could that be! Big brother, please reveal your true form so I can choose a few feathers of suitable size and length! By the way, our bet still stands! I bet you still have about a hundred feathers left!"

"I only have two hundred feathers in total, and I just used a few more, so I'm not sure how many I have left. But how many do you need?"

"Not many, thirty-two are enough!"

"Thirty-two isn't enough? No way! Absolutely not! If I give you thirty-two, my peacock tail will be bald, how am I supposed to spread my tail feathers then!"

"Brother, that's not right of you! These feathers grow every year anyway. We're doing this for the Heavenly Dao and the Old Man of the Moon, so why should we care about a few feathers!"

"That's just an ordinary peacock's feather! Mine is a nine-eyed peacock's feather! A symbol of royalty! It only grows one feather a year! No, no, absolutely not!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's eyes lit up and he laughed, "Brother, you can live for two or three thousand years, and you're only a little over a thousand years old now. You have a long life ahead of you! What's another thirty-odd years?"

"How can it not be bad! If I can't display my feathers, what kind of peacock am I! How am I supposed to face people?"

"You can't show your face in public if you can't open your tail feathers? Brother, it's not that serious! Didn't I give you a rhinoceros horn folding fan? You can use that fan to open your tail feathers from now on, it's the same!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Absolutely not!"

"Alright then, let's not gamble anymore. I'll talk to Lanze, and then you give me Lingyu. We definitely need to get down to business!"

Kong Qinglin glanced at Li Yi sideways, showing no intention of giving him the feather.

"Hey, brother, don't say that brothers aren't fair. Look at this!" Li Yi took out the Phoenix Crown Feather from Hei Yuan's sleeve and said seriously, "I'll use this to exchange for your feather. Is that alright?"

Kong Qinglin reached out to snatch it, but Li Yi easily dodged it; he was no match for Li Yi now.

"Hmph, the remaining spiritual energy on this crest feather has been used up by Hei Yuan. It's just an ordinary phoenix feather. I won't exchange it!"

"I'm not going to convert it. I'll go find other materials to set up the magic array. Hey, big brother, do you think if other phoenix descendants get this crest feather in the future, like the Azure Luan or the Black Bird, will they threaten the peacock's status among the feathered race?"

"Hmph, the position of Feather Emperor depends not only on the Phoenix Crown Feather, but also on one's own strength. If you are not my opponent, why should you compete with me for the position of Feather Emperor!"

"In that case, let's leave it at that. We should have finished talking with Uya by now, so I'll go take care of some important business."

"Wait!" Kong Qinglin called out to Li Yi, then revealed his true form and uttered three words with difficulty: "You pull it out!"

"Thank you very much, brother!"

Li Yi stepped forward and reached out to pluck the feather, but Kong Qinglin ran away.

"No, no! I can't let you pluck them, I'll do it myself!" Kong Qinglin said, turning his head to start preening his feathers. You should know that peacocks usually spend about four hours a day preening their feathers; they really cherish their feathers.

Seeing Kong Qinglin combing his hair for a long time without showing any intention of plucking it, Li Yi immediately urged, "Big brother, let's not waste time being so vain, okay? Let me do it!"

Kong Qinglin turned his head, closed his eyes, stomped his foot, and said, "You do it!"

But as soon as Li Yi's hand touched his feathers, the guy ran away again in a flash!

"Big brother, we really don't have much time left, can we stop messing around?"

"I'm not kidding you, it's pure instinct! Instinct, you understand?"

"I understand! How about this, before plucking your feathers, I'll use the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning to temporarily paralyze you, so you can't dodge and won't feel any pain. However, you'll definitely be upset to see so many feathers missing."

So, to avoid damaging the harmony between us brothers, after you're numb, I'll put this phoenix crest feather in your mouth so you can hold it. That way, you'll feel more at ease, and I can choose the feathers in peace.

"Once I've finished selecting and plucking them, I'll immediately dispel the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning. You, on the other hand, should transform into your demon form and not reveal your true form until your feathers have fully grown. Out of sight, out of mind, you agree, right?"

"Alright! That's the only way."

"Alright, then please close your eyes first, brother."

"Why are you closing your eyes?"

"Do you want to watch me pluck your feathers, brother?"

Kong Qinglin glared fiercely at Li Yi, then slowly closed his eyes and said, "You...you...you..." Li Yi had already used the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to beat him.

Li Yi stuffed the Phoenix Crown Feather into Kong Qinglin's mouth, and then ruthlessly plucked all of Kong Qinglin's feathers! That's right, all of them! He had promised Heng'e that a man must keep his word, but keeping one's word depends on who one is promised to, right?

Li Dacaizi plucked all the feathers in the simplest and most brutal way, then put them into a burlap sack. He then used his hands to conjure a large bag from his qi and put it over Kong Qinglin's peacock head. "Brother, I'm removing the paralysis now. You can transform into your demon form now." After saying that, he released the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.

Kong Qinglin was about to unleash a torrent of curses when he was grabbed by the Martial Saint King Dharma Image like a chick.

"Big brother, don't get agitated! Didn't we already agree? You transform into your demon form first."

"Take this tattered bag off first!"

"Transform into your demon form first!"

Knowing he was no match for Li Yi, Kong Qinglin had no choice but to transform into human form and tear off the bag himself, but Li Yi had vanished without a trace.

A wisp of purple energy drifted over, and a resonant voice rang out: "Brother, I'm in a hurry to seal the weeds. I'll come to apologize another day. Take a look at the Phoenix Crown Feather first. It seems to have a new Daoist aura on it. Feel it for yourself."

Kong Qinglin initially wanted to reveal his true form to investigate, but then he remembered Li Yi's words, "Out of sight, out of mind," which made sense. So he reached out and placed the Phoenix Crown Feather on his head, then closed his eyes to sense the Daoist aura emanating from it. But as soon as he channeled his spiritual energy into it, he was instantly teleported away.

It is said that the talented Li had already tampered with the crown. As long as Kong Qinglin injected spiritual power, it would activate the teleportation array, and on the other side of this array was the ox horn of Lidan Mountain.

At this moment, Li Danshan and Kong Qingye were taking stock of the demon army and treating the wounded on the shore of the soon-to-dry Lanze Lake. Suddenly, a snow-white bottom landed, leaving a bloody mark on it from Li Danshan's bull horn.

Li Danshan roared, "How dare you ambush me!" and then threw a punch!

Just as his iron fist was less than 0.01 millimeters away from Kong Qinglin's handsome face, he realized that the person who came was his elder brother. But he knew he couldn't take back the punch, so he could only try to deflect the force as much as possible, but he still managed to knock Kong Qinglin away.

Kong Qinglin was thrown into the muddy riverbed and tumbled several times before coming to a stop. Kong Qingye and Li Danshan immediately jumped over to check on him.

"Brother, I'm so sorry! I didn't realize it was you at first!"

"Big brother, are you alright? Is the battle with the Gu God over?"

Kong Qinglin wiped his face and reached out, saying, "Help me up first."

The two demons helped him up, but then froze on the spot.

"That brat dared to lie to me! Once I recover, I'm going to get an explanation from him! What are you two standing there for?"

Kong Qingye said awkwardly, "Brother, don't you feel a bit cold down there?"

"It is a bit cold, but it's covered in mud and water, so it's normal for it to be a bit cold."

Li Danshan was more direct. He asked, "Brother, you went to deal with the Gu God, how come your pants are gone?"

"What!" Kong Qinglin looked down and realized he had actually created a "no pants" look. He was about to curse when he suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. He leaped into a secluded spot...

A moment later, Kong Qinglin's furious roar echoed through the valley: "Li Yi! I will never forgive you!"

The scene shifts, and Li the Great Scholar sneezes several times in a row. He rubs his nose and says, "My wives must be missing me! Sigh, I've been away for too long. I need to finish this business quickly so I can go back and reunite with them. The lark's song, Hanfeng's dance, and..."

Li Yi looked up at the sky, then immediately adopted a serious expression. He could clearly feel that the Heavenly Dao was watching him from above. He cleared his throat and said, "Wuya, the time has come. It's time to send Hei Yuan on his way."

Hei Yuan said to Wu Ya, "Don't be sad. If there is an afterlife, I will find a way to make it up to you and our child."
