Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 1046 - 198:

As the Red Robe Summoning Emperor was almost fuming with anger, several Summoning Court Summoners and Summoners, including the Seventh Summoner, arrived.

Earlier, on the way back to the Summoning Court with everyone, the Red Robe Summoning Emperor suddenly felt the heart crystal on his body heat up.

This heart crystal was used by the Red Robe Summoning Emperor to control Hu Jiusheng. The unusual change in the heart crystal indicated something had happened to Hu Jiusheng.

Concerned about Hu Jiusheng’s safety, the Red Robe Summoning Emperor left the group and rushed over.

"Summoning Emperor, this is Yanyun!" The Seventh Summoner pointed at Yun Sheng.

"Foolish, she’s not called Yanyun, she’s Yun Canghai’s spawn, Yun Sheng!" Seeing the Seventh Summoner still clueless, the Summoning Emperor wished to execute him directly.

"Ah! Isn’t that the traitor Hu Jiusheng! How can she be here!" The Seventh Summoner took another glance at the unconscious woman cradled in "Yanyun’s" arms.

The Seventh Summoner wanted to swallow his tongue the next second because he recognized the Summoner Robe worn by Hu Jiusheng as the Ninth Summoner’s robe.

Hu Jiusheng was notorious in the Summoning Court.

She was originally the most valued disciple of the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, highly skilled, and the Red Robe Summoning Emperor even wanted to promote her to a Summoner against protocol.

But nearly twenty years ago, Hu Jiusheng betrayed them overnight and even killed a Summoner during a mission.

Since then, the Summoning Court issued a kill order on her. Rumor had it that eighteen years ago, she was captured and executed by the Red Robe Summoning Emperor. Unexpectedly, she not only survived but had been living as the Ninth Summoner in the Summoning Court.

The Red Robe Summoning Emperor’s favoritism towards the Ninth Summoner was well known throughout the Summoning Court, but due to the Red Robe Summoning Emperor’s authority, no one dared to speak up. Today, seeing the true identity of the Ninth Summoner, everyone realized the truth...

Recalling the early pampering of Hu Jiusheng by the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, could it be that the Summoning Emperor was... People dared not think further.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

"Summoning Emperor, if this woman is the spawn of Yun Canghai and Hu Jiusheng, then who was the woman earlier in the Water Prison?" someone suddenly thought and asked aloud.

"Who she is doesn’t matter, anyway, the only road for that woman is death." The Red Robe Summoning Emperor laughed suddenly, his words stirring a sense of unease within Yun Sheng.

Why did the Red Robe Summoning Emperor seem so confident? By rights, Hu Sheng should have left Penglai safely under the protection of Gu Feng and Qi by now.

"Yun Sheng, it’s bad! Hu Sheng has been captured," Senior Sister Lan, battered and bruised, appeared before Yun Sheng.

"Didn’t I instruct Gu Feng and Qi to escort Hu Sheng away?" Yun Sheng’s mind exploded upon hearing this.

Originally, Yun Sheng held off Hu Jiusheng, allowing Gu Feng and Qi to escape the Summoning Court with Hu Sheng.

Along the way, Lan and Donghuang Lingling, who were already standing by, were responsible for intercepting and planned to flee from Penglai together.

Just as the five reached Penglai’s seaside, a sudden change occurred.

"We encountered the Magic Temple’s Chang Siming. He and several Temple Mages ambushed us; Qi and I were wounded, Gu Feng and Lingling fared a bit better but were also lightly injured, and Hu Sheng was taken. Gu Feng and Lingling pursued the captors, while I came to report," Yun Sheng had known Senior Sister Lan for so long and never saw her injured so severely except in the Dutian Blood Realm event. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Haha, praying mantis stalking cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. You never thought that the Magic Temple’s Chang Siming is actually my junior. You mentioned the woman named Hu Sheng; I’ve already identified her. She should be the Heavenly Fox Saintess from the Bahuang Tribe, a descendant of the Fox Clan that fell into the Wuji Continent," the Red Robe Summoning Emperor never completely believed the identity of "Yun Sheng" in the Water Prison.

He had heard long ago that Da Zhou Yunsheng was no saint, inheriting the bloodline of Hu Jiusheng and Yun Canghai.

This woman single-handedly uprooted the continent’s top medical pavilion, Medicine Emperor Pavilion. She was the Deputy Captain of the Sky Hunting Corps, receiving the Fighting King title in Sky Wing City.

However, the woman in the Water Prison seemed rather stubborn but otherwise was unimpressive.

Hence, the Red Robe Summoning Emperor ordered her identity to be investigated.

Based on intel from the Bahuang Tribe’s "spy," the Red Robe Summoning Emperor deduced that the "Yun Sheng" in the Water Prison was indeed the Saintess of the Fox Clan.

Although she wasn’t Yun Sheng, her bloodline was a pure Heavenly Fox descendant, more suited for a Blood Sacrifice than the mixed-blood Yun Sheng.

The reason the Red Robe Summoning Emperor hadn’t killed Hu Sheng in these past three years was partly because he was waiting for the right moment—for the real Yun Sheng to bait herself also for the impending collapse of the Dutian Blood Seal, when the Summoning Court would emerge as the savior of the continent.

Despite the unexpected disruption from the First Main Summoner, things hadn’t completely deviated from the Summoning Emperor’s plans.

Yun Sheng and her father had finally appeared.

"What do you intend for Hu Sheng?" Yun Sheng asked, frantic. She never considered her rescue attempt would place her friend and Hu Sheng in such danger.

Even Senior Sister Lan couldn’t stop Chang Siming, and Lingling and Gu Feng would stand no chance of rescuing Hu Sheng even if they caught up to him.

"Naturally for a Blood Sacrifice, to redraw the Dutian Blood Seal. But before worrying about others’ safety, shouldn’t you be concerned about your own lives? I hear you’re an excellent Holy Beast Tamer. I offer you a choice: align with the Summoning Court with your mother, and I shall spare your lives," the Red Robe Summoning Emperor produced two heart crystals.

The Red Robe Summoning Emperor was sharply perceptive, noting that Yun Sheng was the primary reason for Hu Jiusheng losing control.

Just by subduing Yun Sheng, controlling Hu Jiusheng again would not be difficult.

Moreover, after the recent Dutian Summit, the Summoning Court had lost quite a few forces. Recruiting a Holy Beast Tamer into the Summoning Court would be beneficial in regaining strength.

"Dream on, Ji Fang! As long as there’s a day I am Yun Canghai, don’t even think about touching a hair on them," Yun Canghai protected his wife and daughter, sheltering them behind himself.

Eighteen years ago, Ji Fang had nearly destroyed his family; he would never let history repeat.

Seeing the soul stone on Yun Canghai’s Magic Wand left the Red Robe Summoning Emperor momentarily taken aback.

To think that even after being cursed by the Beast Blood Curse, Yun Canghai found a way to break through ensued.

"Courageous, but foolhardy. You’re merely a mage; you aren’t fit to face me," the Red Robe Summoning Emperor stroked the Summoning Emperor Ring on his hand.

"Then, do you dare accept my challenge!" Yun Sheng’s icy voice reached the Red Robe Summoning Emperor’s ears.
