C56 - Even the Old Patriarch

"Young man, I take it you have thoughts upon my disciple?" The haughty queen asked.

"Sect Leader, while it can be said that I do indeed have thoughts, your disciple has her thoughts upon this man even more so."

"And what do you think of what this woman thinks?" The Sect Mistress Di An asked, peering down on him from above.

Yin Kai looked down at the ground. Yes, she was most definitely flying for extra effect.

'After those words coming from her tight dress… Even if the old Huo Patriarch himself objected, I'll still make her bow down to my throne! She needs to get laid! That's what I think!'

Crossing his arms and tapping his foot, he quickly gave off the air of an impatient young master.

Sitting down and sipping her tea, she asked another question. "How many women do you have?"

"Yes, I have had women before Gu Bing, but none after." He replied.

"How do they compare to my Bing'er?"

"Well, there's two I can't disclose with higher status, then there's the disciple of a wandering monster, the young sect mistress of Fire Palace, and the daughter of one of the nine great families, -"

"Stop, stop, stop."

Yin Kai paused. She watched his face coolly before responding.

"This mistress is not evil. Treat my Bing'er kindly, and I will… Allow… Your relationship. Throw her away, and I don't care if you're the old Huo Patriarch himself. I'll freeze you under the dying breath of 9,000 suns, then pick apart the pieces of your brain one by one before scattering them in the desert for the carrion and worms to feast upon."

"That is all."

Pointing to the door, she smiled.

'Nope, she definitely wants to kill me.' Yin Kai thought.

"May your day be blessed by the stars above, Mistress Di."

With that, he turned and walked out the door. Fei Li was waiting. Turning, he left Gu Bing a long, drawn-out, passionate kiss. Watching her exhausted, drooling face melt, he was truly happy inside.

Not noticing Pu Deng, he turned to Elder Fei Li, and said, "Let's go."

The two got on his crane. Caihong had long returned.

Flying north and a shade east, the trip went on for several hours. Eventually, a wandering tribe of spearmen were spotted riding elephants on a vast plain.

They tried to throw javelins, but they couldn't throw them quite far enough. With a trifling moment's suppression from Fei Li, they were subdued.

'I could really use the divine sense about now.' Yin Kai thought to himself once again.

After another several incense sticks of travel, Fei Li's Elder Token lit up. Scanning it with his divine sense, he diverted his course.

"Trouble?" Yin Kai looked prepared as he spoke to the elder.

Elder Fei Li glanced behind him. "Yeah. Trouble."

Yin Kai smiled. "Fly another twenty minutes due east, then let me down."

The elder grunted. "Why?"

"If there is trouble on the way, that means it comes directly from your temple, or someone within it. If you take me off the trail, we can make it to the Martial Temple Sect without identifying ourselves."

"Your wind crane is a giant badge belonging to the Martial Spirit Temple. So please answer this. What are the tribes and other organizations in the surrounding area?"

"Besides the elephant tribe you just saw, the Rhino Tribe, the Falcon tribe, and the Snake Tribe dominate this area. The leaders all have cultivation near the Immortal Ascension Stage; everyone else is much lower."

"And yours?"

"True Immortal, 3rd Stage."

"Change of plans. Take us to the rhino tribe. Find the stragglers."

"And we escape on their rhinos, huh?"

"Pretty much..."

As the two flew on the Wind Crane, they ate a quick bowl of ramen before they reached thw tribe. On a nearby hill, Yin Kai spotted a stone figure.

"Turn around, hill, 160 degrees."

As the crane slowed and came upon the hill, a wave of suppression towered over the rhino and its rider.

Stunned, the two stood petrified.

Walking around the rhino's side, Yin Kai checked and muttered, "Yeah, this will do."

Throwing it into his life ring, Yin Kai walked around to the rider. "Tell me of your placements, we won't hurt anyone and we'll return your rhino. We're just trying to get through."

The rider looked at him and spit on his face. "I shpit on yor face! You missrable maggot, downright worm born from a union between a horse, a pig, and a maximum perversion gone wrong carrot! I give yo minutes upon the land, you couldn't find yor shuu from yor buttox if yo mouth was so inclinnned!"

With a giant slap, Fei Li inflicted pain upon the tribal man.

Spitting once again, the rider shouted, "I shpit on yor face, ye missrable old sourpuss born of a horse patty and a rotting cucumber from yor grandmotha's collection."

He spit at their feet again, solely to make a point.

"I like you." Yin Kai smiled. "Take us to your people, I wish to make you a legend upon the earth."

The man cocked his head to the side. "Huh?"

"Yes. I would like to join your tribe and rule over the entire Great Plains Region."

Elder Fei Li looked at him asunder. "Do we have time for this?"

"Of course we do." Yin Kai replied. "It shouldn't take long anyways. Do you have a beast ring that can accommodate the elephants and falcons?"

"No, but I have several that, put together can do the trick."

Yin Kai rubbed his hands mischeviously.
