Chapter 407 Corpse Bride: Dare to bully my man, I'll fight you for it! (Vote for monthly ticket)
"Can it really be like this?"
Bailuo discovered that the power of Fengdu is not ordinary at all; he could decide what someone would be reincarnated as in the next life after death.
Although all the Masters of Miracles are very powerful, they each have their own duties. Just as Fengdu cannot create life, Bailuo cannot arrange what a person will do in their next life; these are two completely different functions.
Of course, if one day Bailuo also possessed the Miracle Power of 'death,' then he could establish Yatun's own reincarnation system.
"But aren't you afraid of offending people by doing this?"
"I'd definitely be scared now."
Fengdu glanced at Mu Yunji nearby, who used to be at the stage of Four Awakenings, just like himself.
But even then, Fengdu couldn't beat the Female Sword Emperor.
She was of the Upper Tier while he was Middle Tier; in a one-on-one, he definitely stood no chance.
However, at that time, though there was a gap in their power, it wasn't so great that Fengdu would be utterly defeated. Unlike now, Mu Yunji has broken through to the Fifth Awakening, only below a few Great Emperors, far beyond what Fengdu could contend with today.
"I'll give you one chance."
Mu Yunji's voice was cold and deep, without a hint of negotiation, as she commanded Fengdu, "Tell me where that child's soul is, and then bring her back!"
"And that despicable man," Mu Yunji continued, "I want his soul to be scattered to the winds!"
"......"
This was the first time Bailuo saw Mu Yunji lose her temper, and he thought to himself that a Master of Miracles was indeed a Master of Miracles after all; the good temper is given to oneself, but for others, how could they possibly talk to you amicably?
"I refuse!"
Unfortunately, Fengdu didn't back down; instead, he stepped forward, standing in front of Mu Yunji: "Every living being should have a final resting place. Since Fairy Yunhua entrusted me, and I've promised her, unless she wishes it herself, I will never let you find her."
With the help of the Lord of Reincarnation to conceal her traces, even Mu Yunji wouldn't be able to find her sister.
Fengdu was someone with a strong sense of justice; when faced with injustice, he would stand up against authority without hesitation.
Fairy Yunhua's reincarnation seemed lonely and desolate, and perhaps in Mu Yunji's view, it was for the sake of her sister's well-being.
Because, given her cultivation, she would eventually return to the Heavenly Palace and to her side.
However, Fengdu felt that not everyone sees acquiring Miracle Power as a blessing. For Yunhua, living a life like any other mortal is what she longed for.
This wasn't something Fengdu thought up on his own; it was exactly what Fairy Yunhua herself had told him.
"Calm down, Your Highness Sword Emperor, please calm down."
At the crucial moment, it was the Corpse Bride who stood in front of Fengdu, causing Bailuo's eyes to widen in surprise: 'What's going on here? Aren't you enemies?'
Bailuo felt like he had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food; were the Corpse Bride and Fengdu in conflict because of that kind of relationship?
Thinking about it, one played with corpses, the other with ghosts; oddly, they were quite a match!
"Fine, fine, fine."
Mu Yunji burst into an angry laugh, but in the next moment, the overwhelming power of the miracle enveloped the two of them: "Just the two of you, even bound together, I wouldn't even consider a threat!"
"You!"
Fengdu was still okay, but the Corpse Bride looked displeased.
Four Awakenings against Five Awakenings, and the two of them together, even if you are Upper Tier, is there really no contest?
"What are you obstructing me for," the Corpse Bride's hand was grabbed by Fengdu, and she exploded in anger: "Upper Tier, so impressive! Today I will fight her, who's afraid of who!" Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Corpse Bride: To dare bully my man, I will fight you to the end!
"Stop, stop, stop, everyone calm down, calm down."
Seeing that a fight might break out, Bailuo and Ying Muyao ultimately couldn't stand idly by. The two stepped in to separate the Corpse Bride and Mu Yunji.
Speaking strictly in terms of combat power, Ying Muyao could easily thrash everyone present, but since those present were all members of the same group, using force would hurt their relationships.
And so, Ying Muyao decisively used force.
"..."
Bailuo, witnessing the dangerous aura emanating from Ying Muyao, watched alongside the three Masters of Miracles as they took a side glance and gasped in shock.
Ultra-Grade-level Miracle Power was truly terrifying.
It could be said that, apart from Bailuo, who was also a Master of Miracles, the other three felt suppressive pressure to varying degrees from the Empress of the East.
"Today, whoever dares to make a move will be declaring war on me."
Contrary to what one might expect, Ying Muyao's voice wasn't cold but rather warm. Yet, the undeniable finality of her tone made everyone hold their breath, "Although I wouldn't mind a scuffle, for everyone's dignity, please don't make such an unwise move."
Masters of Miracles cannot be killed, but merely defeating them was all too easy for Ying Muyao.
"Hmph!"
Mu Yunji scoffed in dissatisfaction, "So, you're siding with him."
"Yun Ji, don't be angry, we can talk this through nicely."
The relationship between Ying Muyao and Mu Yunji had always been close; she quickly retracted her formidable presence and consoled him tenderly, "I'll have Fengdu explain himself to you right now. If he can't do it, I'll personally help you punish him."
"Big sister, you're actually helping an outsider?"
"I am defending justice, not favoritism," Ying Muyao retorted, "No wonder you were serving her tea just now. Did you prepare for this in advance?"
Upon closer consideration, Fengdu's true purpose in provoking the Corpse Bride was not her, but Mu Yunji; he aimed to resolve the matter concerning Yunhua, thus orchestrating this whole scenario.
"You, you actually schemed against me for another woman..."
The Corpse Bride felt like crying. Logically, Fengdu should offer some consolation at this moment, but the man of iron decided to ignore the situation, giving her only his back.
Corpse Bride: You're actually not comforting me! I'm angry now!!!
"Explanation—I was about to provide one, please, Your Highness Sword Emperor, don't rush me."
With Ying Muyao present, everyone was making threats, but if someone were to actually act, the Empress of the East was like a mountain stepping forth, insurmountable for all but Bailuo, who could not be beaten by anyone else.
"I'm just watching the drama," Bailuo stated that she was unfamiliar with the circumstances and wouldn't comment, "Do as you will."
"Reason!"
Mu Yunji challenged Fengdu, "Why do you choose to be my enemy?"
"Logically, I should not interfere in the domestic affairs of others," Fengdu stated, "but ultimately, I did."
"You all should know that I manage reincarnation, and I overseen the cycle of life for all beings, striving for fairness above all."
Fengdu explained, "If you were a villain in your last life, then after death, you must be punished. In your next life, you suffer hardships, and after purging the veneer, in the life that follows, you can live happily ever after."
Therefore, one should not dwell on tragic fate, for misfortune will eventually pass, and happiness will invariably come.
This is the philosophy under which Fengdu governs reincarnation.
"However, what wrong did Fairy Yunhua commit?"
Fengdu stepped in because Mu Yunji had done two things he couldn't accept.
