Chapter 62 - You haven't answered my question

"Old man, I need your help in hiding her presence. If we activate her bloodlines he will feel it so I need you to hide it," Feng Jiu said not beating behind the bush. She knew that she could not trick this old man so she decided to call a spade a spade." He is too strong so I am afraid that I cannot help you with that," Long Bo replied. He knew that she had a request but he did not expect her to make such a request. It is said that Taiyi's brother, the divine emperor had nine generals under him and each of them were as strong as him. The generals under him were only loyal to him and he even considered them his brothers. The generals were given the title eternals. The strength of the eternals was hard to be distinguished and this was mainly because they rarely fought each other. When it came to individual fights no one knew the strongest and the weakest of the eternals but it was said that the third eternal was the strongest of the eternals and it was even said that only he had a strength level that was almost similar to that of the divine emperor but no one was able to prove it so no one knew of the truth. The generals had accompanied the divine emperor in unifying the world and had fought together with him. They have never been separated apart from after the death of the divine emperor. Long Bo, was part of the eternals and was the fifth immortal also known as the battle dragon. He was also one of the strongest eternals and his strength was evident. This was the reason why Feng Jiu had to show some respect for him. After the fall of the divine emperor most of the eternals mysteriously disappeared and Taiyi had tried to look for them but to no avail. Even then after their disappearance they had managed to leave behind Long Bo as their messenger which was why Taiyi always visited Long Bo. The only message that the eternals left was that if Taiyi decided to finally make a move then they would appear as his vanguards which means that the divine emperor had also left some backup plans. To mean that he had absolute trust in Taiyi and was not worried about the heavenly realm. This also meant that he knew that his time was nearing. Taiyi had asked what had happened on that day when his brother died but even the trusted aides of his brother knew nothing of what took place on that night. It was as if that event was covered up by some shadow or maybe a supreme figure hid the events so that no matter what happened no one will be able to see or learn of the events that took place on that night. Taiyi has been depressed for a long time seemingly trying to uncover the secrets but it ended up in failure. The more he seemed close to uncovering the mystery the more the clues seemed to disappear leading him to a new starting point so he gave up on that investigation and stopped looking for answers anymore. "I heard that the zither of awakening can be used to hide certain things?" Feng Jiu asked with a sly expression on her face. Long Bo's face darkened as he never thought thatshe knew about the zither. He tried to maintain a calm expression before Feng Jiu but deep down he was extremely anxious." The zither of awakening has long been lost in the river of time so I am afraid that I cannot help you with this," Long Bo said in a calm and relaxed manner." If it is not here then I guess that I'll just go and tell her father to activate her bloodline and then bring her to this place and take revenge. You don't know how much he loves his daughter," Feng Jiu said." Girl, why do you have to be so cruel? I have already told you that it is not here so why should I lie to you?" Long Bo asked. There was one similarity that both Taiyi and the divine emperor share and that is that both of them considered their loved ones to be their reverse scale so Long Bo knew that Taiyi would definitely pay them a visit if he did not help them. This was an open conspiracy and Feng Jiu have played her cards well. She made sure that the net was cast and it was only waiting for the fish and it caught a big fish so it depends on her mood whether she wants to eat the fish or spare it but first she had to be impressed or else of annoyed she might just eat the fish. Such an open conspiracy could not be avoided. Long Bo had already gotten himself in this hopeless situation because of his useless grandson and just thinking of it made him extremely angry. He was well aware of the relationship between Taiyi and Feng Jiu so he did not want to risk it. These two brothers, Taiyi and the divine emperor, were always crazy when someone messed with their women but what made it worst was the fact that they always fell for women that were strong and extremely shrewd. Long Bo had always thought that Feng Jiu was decent and was not that cunning but seeing this side of her his opinion of her took a three sixty degree turn." It seems that I can only go and ask for his help. I am sure he will be more than willing to send his clone her to seek for your advice on cultivation," Feng Jiu said as she took a step." Wait! How are you so sure that we have it?" Long Bo asked." It seems you have made up your mind to help. Let me thank you in advance," Feng Jiu said with a smile on her face. She had finally fulfilled her wish. At this point she was already sure that she had won but what she did not know was that the zither of awakening indeed could help hide some things but it mainly depended on the strength of the user. If the user was weak then it was almost impossible to hide some secrets which meant that if Feng Jiu activated the zither then Taiyi would still feel it. Well atleast that was nor heir main source of worries as Feng Jiu did not know that. What Long Bo failed to tell them was that Taiyi's dragon bloodline is rare which means that no matter how much she tried to hide it Taiyi would still feel it. He was the only person who had such a bloodline so he could feel it. To make matters worst Taiyi at this moment was aiming for a higher realm and was evolving his dao which meant that he would come into contact with the river of time so he would definitely be able to feel it when the zither of awakening is removed and with this he would be able to make some inferences so what Feng Jiu wanted to hide was not going to be possible at this moment even if she decided to use the emperor phoenix that was residing in her." You haven't answered my question," Long Bo ." There are only two people in this world who can travel back and forth in the river of time; the second eternal and Long Bo, the fifth eternal so it is easy to connect the dots especially with the second eternal missing," Feng Jiu answered.
