When Ji Yuan and his group had landed in the towering rainforest, they had discovered that that they were feeling extremely heavy and could not move.
A few blinks of an eye later, their profound animus had been triggered automatically to fight off the increased pressure of this place.
Ling Feiyue sighed when she was being forced to display her profound animus, "Our profound animus is like a beacon of light for the divine sense of our enemies. These high level desolate beasts may as well have a much sharper animalistic divine sense than us…"
But all of a sudden she was gasping as she stared at Yun Chi for Yun Chi's profound animus was at the peak of the 9th immortal positioning.
Even the short old man aka the White Sword Monarch was startled as he stared blankly at Yun Chi; it was because he had never thought that Yun Chi was actually a high level immortal among them.
Shui Xisi had suddenly raised her divine sword at Yun Chi, "Just who are you?!"
Ji Yuan had quickly stepped in to stop Shui Xisi as he smiled weakly, "She is one of us. Don't attack her."
Other than Ji Yuan, only Bai Qianfeng, the Smiling Divine Maiden, Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress knew the true identity of Yun Chi.
Yu Jingjing asked quietly, "She is really one of us? She is a 9th immortal just like Maiden Qianfeng here."
Bai Qianfeng nodded slowly, "She is really one of us and I know who she is for some time already."
Little Princess and Yang Mi asked with a startled look, "You know?"
Yun Chi smiled as she removed her upper face mask, to reveal a most stunning maiden. "I guess that it is pointless to hide who I am anymore. If you want to know who I am, then you must really address me as the Death God Mingwang."
When she had revealed her true identity, there were looks of startled shock from Ling Feiyue, Little Princess, Shui Xisi, Yu Jingjing, Yang Mi and the short old man.
"She is the Death God Mingwang?!"
"Isn't the Death God Mingwang a male?!"
"The Death God is actually in our party all this while?"
"Didn't Ji Yuan say that he has been fighting the Death God Mingwang and that he has no chance of winning?"
"Or is Ji Yuan her depraved slave now?"
Ji Yuan weakly interrupted the commotions, "Also, Yun Chi has my unborn child too."
Many of the maidens and the short old man: …
Ling Feiyue weakly said, "What is going on here?"
Shui Xisi gasped with disbelief, "Ji Yuan, do you know that the Death God Mingwang is from the Desolate Divine Realm and she is one of the True Gods of that divine realm? And she is also our enemy as well as the enemy of the Pangu Immortals."
When Ji Yuan had heard Shui Xisi, he could only laughed weakly, "Haha... relax..."
The Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue stepped in between Yun Chi and the short old man before turning to the short old man aka the White Sword Monarch, "Father, she is my protégé mistress as well."
The reason why she had stepped between them was because she knew that her father had harbored a deep hatred for the Death God Mingwang.
The short old man was stunned that Yun Chi was actually the Death God Mingwang. All along, he had thought that the Death God Mingwang was a male.
In the past, when he had heard that his beautiful maiden had actually joined the Death God Mingwang, he was so enraged that he had actually vomited blood. It was because he had imagined his daughter becoming a depraved slave of the Death God Mingwang and that she would be subjected to his merciless depraved mind every single day.
And he was even cursing the Death God Mingwang every day for bringing his astonishing peerless daughter Chu Lixue to depravity.
But the thing was, Chu Lixue was really too astonishing to behold so much that the men that had seen her only once would gasp that she was indeed a divine maiden that could bring their hearts to smile at her presence. Hence she got her nick the Smiling Divine Maiden.
Also, she was regal and noble looking. Men could really find no fault in her as she did not have any emotional outburst.
As for why the Smiling Divine Maiden had joined the Death God Mingwang was that in her younger days, she was set upon by the lustful and tricky cultivators who were determined to obtain her body and the Death God Mingwang had saved her.
In her mind, the Death God Mingwang was more noble than the lustful cultivators and that the Death God Mingwang had given her plenty of freedom to cultivate in Bliss City. Other than this condition that she could not leave Bliss City without the permission of the Death God Mingwang, she was also given the leadership position to run Bliss City on 'his' behalf.
Although the Death God Mingwang had taken her as 'his' protégé but he had used this as an excuse to touch her or to obtain her body. In fact, 'he' did not show any interest in the opposite sex and 'he' had even introduced Zhi Jiugong and the Lovely Empress to her at a later time too. And 'he' did not touch them too.
As for the ugliness of the male celestial cultivators, she saw their ugliness in Bliss City and she hated them for that.
That was until she had met Ji Yuan.
Yun Chi said slowly as she looked at the short old man, "Indeed I am the Great Death God. Other than all of you here, no one else knows of my true identity. So do you want to fight with me?"
The stunned look of the short old man aka the White Sword Monarch slowly revealed a look of surprise before he regained his composure to say nonchalantly, "Hell. No."
This time round, it was Yun Chi who was looking surprised. "No?"
The short old man aka the White Sword Monarch began to laugh jovially, "No. Why did all of you have to think this way? I am actually a generous old man."
Ji Yuan and the rest of the group were startled and were perplexed.
Actually they did not know that the reason why the short old man was secretly searching for his daughter Chu Lixue all these years was because he had wanted to save her from a depraved servitude that was bonded by the Death God Mingwang. That was the very reason why he had wanted to kill the Death God Mingwang so badly.
But when he had realized today that the Death God Mingwang was a maiden and that she was actually Yun Chi, he was quite relieved now. In fact, he had developed a fondness for Yun Chi and now that he knew that she was his daughter's protégé mistress, he was also happier.
Ji Yuan began to scratch his head as he said to his old master, "Erm, well if you want to put it this way."
The short old man kicked Ji Yuan and said solemnly, "What are you thinking about? We should be thinking of a way of overcoming this trial instead!"
Just as he was about to say so, there was a powerful roar beyond the shadows of the rainforest.
He said instead, "Let us try to survive in this place first."
