Chapter 948: Void Paradise
Chapter 948: Void Paradise
Flower paradises were beyond regular brothels. Some were more prestigious than medial clans, allowing only the most prestigious and powerful cultivators. Void was one of them.
It had plenty of visitors today, the majority being geniuses from the top powers. Some from other territories actually came after hearing the news as well.
Keep in mind that Crimson Territory had more than eight thousand domains. Even if only one from each came, that would still be a high number.
Thus, the place was packed with top cultivators. They crowded up enough to nearly break the gate.
Feiyun and Liu Suzi waited outside and watched the people coming in. Some recognized Liu Suzi and came over to greet her, chatting for a bit before entering.
“I’m curious, how many candidates are you competing against right now?” Feiyun smiled.
Liu Suzi leaned on a coiling tree looking like a dragon. She looked rather handsome in her disguise: “Our clan has been around for millions of years with branches all around Sixth Central. Each generation has too many prodigies to count but strangely enough, the top ones in this generation are women.”
“So a woman will be chosen this time?”
“Why not?” She replied: “Skyscar Territory Lord, Five-sword Grotto Lord, and River Dao Lord are all women. Their sect prospers under their rule as well, so sex doesn’t matter. Women can still become capable successors.”
Feiyun learned that there were four main candidates right now. All were from the main branch on top of being women. They were intelligent, gifted, and most importantly – merciless.
He felt bad for all the male geniuses, being overshadowed by these capable women.
Ninth Lord Gu and Young Lord Shao eventually arrived. Behind them was a group of prodigies too.
These prodigies were spirited and powerful. Their pieces of jewelry were spirit treasures – clearly potential successors of medial clans.
“Greetings, Young Noble.” Some slightly bowed towards Liu Suzi.
One of them looked rather pale and had a low voice: “I’ve received news that Huang Tian has secretly joined with Eighth and the first princess. It looks like he’s joining them.”
Huang Tian was the top prodigy of the Huang. He used to have a good relationship with Liu Suzi.
She smiled in response: “If he’s this unwise, then the successor of the Huang will be none other than you, Young Noble Yuchang.”
Huang Yuchang was ranked second right now. Liu Suzi already knew about the defection so she sent people to ask for Yuchang to come.
“I’m sure the future is brighter with you than with the first princess. It’s a shame that Huang Tian was too blind to see this. If I become the clan master in the future, I will do everything I can to support you.” Huang Yuchang said.
The others came to express their goodwill first. They then entered Void Paradise.
They crossed a pathway made of spirit energy and arrived at an independent world. A pleasant flowery scent greeted them right away. Spirit flowers took roots in the air and fluttered to the wind.
There was a jewel in the sky, several times larger than the moon. It sent down a gentle light, looking like silvery strings connecting heaven and earth. Spirit birds flew around and chirped melodically.
“This is an intermediate-level realm. Each inch has been crafted in an extravagant manner…” Young Lord Yu went over the place in detail. This guy was clearly a frequent patron of these places.
The mood was tense before but entering this beautiful place relaxed them. Casual conversations started again.
Palaces were hidden beyond the mists and fogs. They also saw beauties wearing ribbons and riding cranes.
Young Lord Yu took care of the arrangement with a manager and they were led to a floating island.
It had a superb location and oversaw a mountain nearby. The diameter was one hundred meters with defensive formations. The runes would only appear while under attack.
“Let me introduce a new friend, he is a war monarch from the half-demon alliance, Feng Feiyun.” Liu Suzi sat inside a pavilion and raised a bronze cup. She slightly opened her red lips for a sip.
Some prodigies had an unnatural expression after hearing the words, half-demon alliance.
“Don’t underestimate Brother Feng, he’s not like other half-demons.” Ninth smiled.
A prodigy from a top sect said: “Of course, even Xiao Tianyue and the others were killed by Brother Feng, how can we dare to look down on him. We should be flattering him instead! Haha!”
He only tried to please Feiyun because of Liu Suzi. In reality, they still didn't think much of him.
Their conversation was interrupted by another island coming closer. Another group of prodigies was there as well.
A youth there had three swords tied on his back. He uttered coldly: “Feng Feiyun, you dare to show your face here after killing my third brother? The audacity.”
The islands were directly next to each other so the groups exchanged glances.
Feiyun sat on top of a jade chair and said: “I have no clue who your third brother is.”
Having said that, he took another sip, not giving a damn about the hostile newcomers.
“My third brother is the young lord of Firmament, Xiao Tianyue.” The swordsman declared. His aura erupted and seven beast souls appeared behind him.
“Oh, yeah, I’ve met him a couple of times. Who are you though?” Feiyun nonchalantly said.
“I am Xiao Tianrui, here to take your head.”
The geniuses on Liu Suzi’s side disliked this development. How dare this group came uninvited? Their prideful arrogance couldn’t stand for this.
Though Firmament was powerful, medial clans weren’t afraid of them.
A few wanted to step forward to chase Xiao Tianrui away. However, Liu Suzi shook her head and sent them a telepathic message: “Feng Feiyun can take care of this himself.”

Meanwhile, on a third island not too far away, Eighth and Liu Suhong were watching using a spirit mirror.
“Haha, I want to see how Seventh Sister is going to deal with this. Befriending a half-demon will only get her into trouble.” Suhong smiled beautifully.
“Firmament isn’t only a city, its actual background is frightening.” Eighth stared coldly at Feiyun’s image in the mirror.
***
Xiao Tianrui was at the peak of the fourth level, one of the strongest geniuses in Firmament when not counting Xiao Tianyue.
“So all of you are here to kill me. Whoever takes my head will become the next successor?” Feiyun asked.
“That’s right, how do you know this?” Tianrui said.
“I guessed.” Feiyun smiled.
“I don’t think you’ll be smiling for much longer.” Tianrui immediately attacked without wasting words.
A metallic glow engulfed his hand. It became a claw sharp enough to cause ripples in the surrounding air.
Feiyun simply raised one finger and channeled Buddhist energy, pointing straight at the claw.
“Boom!” He didn’t move an inch while Tianrui felt a massive power assaulting his palm.
He was sent ten meters back until he stopped with the help of a pillar. He couldn’t believe it and felt a sharp pain. Blood dripped down his palm.
