A few days after Wu Qi became New Yu’s Chief Honorable Elder, the emperor finally threw a welcome feast for him. It was also Wu Qi’s first close encounter with him.

In the lavishly furnished great hall, the emperor sat on his throne atop a nine-storied jade dais with a smile on his face, holding high his golden wine vessel and toasting to the courtiers, oracles, and honorable elders. The hall was thundering with cheers as everyone enjoyed to their heart’s content. Jars of fine wine were brought out while roasted whole cows and lambs, and other delicious food were served endlessly.

A group of musicians was playing joyous tunes in a corner. Every man in the hall, including Wu Qi, was served by a few voluptuous and beautiful girls. At the moment, he was surrounded by eight seductively dressed girls, and two of them almost threw themselves into his arms.

Wu Qi’s current identity was Lord Teeth, the human form of the divine beast ‘Yayu’, and also the chief honorable elder of New Yu, ranked first among all immortals the dynasty had recruited. As a result, he was treated very well. Of all the girls in the hall, the ones around him were the best looking, only slightly inferior to those around the emperor and the other important ministers.

As he drank the wine and ate the dishes, Wu Qi ran his hands up and down the girls’ bodies, making them gasp for breath and turning their eyes watery. After spending so many years in Dark Yin Celestial Tower with his 90,000 concubines, he knew every part of a girl’s body like the back of his palm. His fingers always brushed past the edges of their most sensitive areas, giving them a feeling similar to scratching an itch from outside the boot. The unpleasant feeling of having a bone-deep itch but could not be relieved caused the girls to gasp and moan, forgetting where they were right now.

Meanwhile, he studied the emperor from the corners of his eyes while the latter was also glancing at him from time to time.

The emperor was in a good mood. His father, Emperor Haozun, was attacking New Yu with an army right now. However, as both dynasties were almost equally strong, the war was at a stalemate. Moreover, with the help of countless people with strange abilities, such as the many honorable elders in the palace, New Yu was able to inflict great casualties on Great Yu. If this situation continued, the emperor of New Yu would have no problem in accomplishing the task Buddhist League had given him.

Just the other day, Wu Qi, who called himself Lord Teeth, came to offer his help. After being tested by New Yu’s supreme oracles and honorable elders both on the surface and in the dark, they confirmed that his true self was indeed a Yayu. And during these tests, he had shown his overwhelming strength. Even all the supreme oracles were easily suppressed by his divine abilities and power.

‘New Yu has added yet another strong help! Excellent!’ The emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled with great satisfaction. Looking at Wu Qi, who was teasing the girls, he raised his wine vessel and said, “Everybody, here’s to Senior Immortal Teeth! From this day on, we’re all family!”

Wu Qi chuckled as he pulled a girl to him and poured a vessel of wine into her mouth, then leaned over and sucked it up to the last drop. The countless courtiers and honorable elders in the great hall roared with laughter while those fiend immortals danced and shouted loudly.

On several occasions, Wu Qi wanted to kill the emperor with a sword strike. But, he was warned by a surge of dread that filled his heart every time, so he did not do it. He watched for a long time before he found a golden lotus the size of a fist hanging from one side of the emperor’s waist. With only six petals, the flower should be an artifact separated from a strange magical artifact. Even so, the subtle wave of magic power occasionally exuded from it had held Wu Qi in place.

The true self of the lotus must be a top-grade Supreme Artifact of Primal, and it must have been polished and refined for countless years by the heart’s blood and soul of an almighty expert. So, even though it was only a small part of it, the flower’s power was not to be underestimated.

If Wu Qi could not kill the emperor of New Yu with one strike, he would never get another chance. As an important chess piece of Dao League and Buddhist League, the tool to divide Great Yu’s fortunes, the two major powers would surely put him under close protection if he was tried to be assassinated. Perhaps, those few old fogies would even send their clones to his side as guards. If this were to happen, Wu Qi would never have the chance to kill him anymore.

Therefore, he had to succeed with one blow, and then kill as many of the princes and other members of the imperial clan who had defected to Great Yu with King Xinshan as he could. The best case scenario would be to kill all the members of Great Yu’s imperial clan in New Yu, making it impossible for the Buddhist League and Dao League to promote a new emperor. Without the bloodline of the Human Emperor, even if they made someone else the new emperor, the whole dynasty’s fortune would be significantly weaker.

As he pondered over his next move, Wu Qi laughed and indulged himself in the lavish feast. In front of everyone, he stripped the girl next to him naked. The girl screamed with laughter as she flung herself into his arms, then wrapped her legs around his waist and rubbed her breasts in his face.

Wu Qi smirked as he enjoyed the warmth of the girl.

The emperor laughed in his throne, then whispered to a black-robed daoist sitting next to him, “Please don’t blame him, Master! Yayu is the most ferocious and savage divine beast, and they act only by instinct. Although he has gone a little wild, he doesn’t mean to disrespect you.”

The black-robed daoist said indifferently, “It’s fine…Your Majesty doesn’t have to worry about me! This Lord Teeth is a man true to his feelings who seems to have an affinity with the Buddhist League. Your Majesty should know that we have recently lost eighteen Delightful Buddhas. If this guy is willing to give up his practice of Dao and join the Buddhist League, he would be a good candidate for the Delightful Buddha.”

The emperor blinked and smiled. “You’re right, Master! Lord Teeth does have the demeanor of a Delightful Buddha!”

The daoist snickered while the emperor guffawed. Wu Qi was hugging a few nearly naked girls and groping them when he overheard their conversation, and he too burst out laughing. ”They suggested that I should become a Delightful Buddha? Well, that sounds good…Should I send a clone to Buddhist League as well? That Lao Ai alone is not likely to get any useful information for me…’

The debauchery lasted the whole night, and the feast did not end until dawn arrived. Wu Qi, drunk with wine, staggered back to the temple of honorable elders on the west side of the palace with the help of a few girls. As soon as he lay in bed, he began to snore loudly. At the same time, his body gradually expanded, and soon turned back to the true form of a Yayu. The girls brought warm water and white cloth to carefully clean the hair and nails of the huge monster.

Situated on the west side of the palace, the temple of honorable elders was a huge cluster of buildings, consisting of hundreds of large and small palaces and pavilions. Exotic flowers and plants decorated the areas between the buildings, and the surrounding scenery was very picturesque. The palace assigned to Wu Qi was called the ‘House of Carefree’, the largest and most splendid of all that was next door to the emperor’s inner court, where he usually lived.

The Yayu sleeping soundly in bed was actually one of Wu Qi’s clones. His true self had already transformed into a wisp of invisible energy and slipped into the ground, bypassing countless restrictive spells and heading straight for the inner court.

As the saying went, there was always darkness under the lantern. All the defenses and formations in New Yu’s palace were directed against enemies who would invade from the outside, and they were very powerful. However, those inside the palace, from the temple of honorable elders to the inner court, were less than one percent as strong as those at the outside. They only served as warnings with minimal power.

After all, with all the overlapping defensive formations in the perimeter, no one would construct too many traps where they lived. Moreover, as none of the formations were designed outside the system of Great Yu’s Directorate of Celestials and Secret Palace, Wu Qi had easily bypassed them and crept cautiously outside the emperor’s bedchamber.

When the feast was over, the eastern sky was just beginning to turn bright. By rights, the emperor was supposed to be ready to attend the court and deal with state affairs. But Wu Qi, hiding outside the bedchamber window, heard the moaning of women and the emperor’s rapid, heavy panting, like a horse running hundreds of miles with a heavy load.

He thought for a moment and circled the bedchamber, then sneaked inside. There, he transformed into a wisp of fire and hid in the light of a candle on a golden candlestick in a corner. After looking around curiously, Wu Qi shook his head. It seemed that his mission to kill the emperor wasn’t going to be easy.

Although the golden lotus had been dropped to the ground with the emperor’s belt, he was having sex on his bed with eight Apsaras of the Buddhist League, whose cultivation base was extremely strong and bodies exuded an exotic aroma.

Their long hairs were fluttering, their bodies soft and tender as if boneless, with a strange fragrance and petals circling around all the time. Their voices were delicate and sweet like the singing of some divine birds. These were the characteristics of Apsaras. What was more shocking than their cultivation base was their strong psychic sense. Anyone who approached them with the slightest hint of malice would instantly give them an instinctive warning.

These Apsaras lived by the natal Buddhist artifact of a certain almighty expert of the Buddhist League. They could not be killed unless the almighty expert was killed and all his Buddhism kingdoms and artifacts were destroyed. Even those supreme existences of the Dao Fusing realm would have a headache if they were caught up by them.

And eight Apsaras could form a very famous formation with an amazing defense called the ‘Eight Dragons Infinite Mahabharata Dharma Formation’. It was a purely defensive formation of the Buddhist League that was claimed to be unbreakable. Buddhist League would not have provided the emperor of New Yu eight extremely precious Apsaras for no reason so he could have exercises with them in bed. They definitely had a responsibility to keep him safe.

With their powerful physic sense, once Wu Qi revealed his intention to kill the emperor, they were sure to form the defensive formation immediately. Their cultivation base was now at the ninth-tier of Primordial realm, and they were pumping huge amounts of energy into the emperor’s body to help him improve his cultivation base. But, Wu Qi vaguely sensed that someplace in their bodies was connected to a very powerful Buddhist artifact. When needed, their cultivation base would soar to the peak-level of Primordial realm, and possibly even to the realm of Dao Breaking!

Apsaras were not like ordinary immortals, and they were not even truly spiritual living beings. They were the combat tools that Buddhist League had created.

Wu Qi smiled bitterly. He knew he did not have a way to break their defenses if the eight Apsaras formed the formation.

It was not easy to kill the emperor of New Yu!
