Chapter 429: 9.48 Second Blue Star - (Past) Enemies" Collaboration
In the land of lava, fire, and darkness.
The scenery on this planet is not human-friendly. There are active volcanoes spitting almost endless lavas. The land under their feet was black after being covered in volcanic ashes and fire as if it was burned to charcoal. There are no greenies and even the sky is crimson due to the influence of temperature and chemical reactions. If Xia Jieye and Hei Anjing didn"t possess the body of a G.o.d, they would never survive in such an eerie place.
Xia Jieye was woken by the whimpering sound near his ears. Suffering slight dizziness and nausea from the sudden s.p.a.ce teleportation made him experience motion sickness.
Wuwuwu~ Wuwuwu~ Wuwuwu~
Opening his eyes, his crimson irises were revealed, its shade is darker than a normal red color and murkier making it a gloomier shade of scarlet but under the moonlight, it glows like a polished garnet gemstone and left an inhuman touch to those who see his eyes.
"Argh~ where the h.e.l.l are we?" said Xia Jieye as soon as he woke up. Seeing Baby Jing"er cries made his heart hurt. He took out a thick blanket from his storage and wrapped it gently around Baby Jing and he hugged him tightly in his arms preventing him from falling.
Wuwuwu~ Wuwuwu~ Wuwuwu~
"Don"t cry, Jing"er. I"m here. Xia will bring you back home okay. Please stop your tears, it makes my heart hurt seeing you cry like that Shush~" coaxed Xia Jieye as he wipes the baby"s tears with a soft handkerchief he took from his storage as well. He only stopped rocking until Baby Jing fell asleep in his arms.
Landing a kiss on Baby Jing"s clean forehead, "Sleep well Jing"er~" whispered the G.o.d of Jieye with a small smile on his rigid face.
After putting the little creature to sleep he looked around the eerie land they had landed too, Xia Jieye felt a p.r.i.c.kling pain from his neck. When he touched it he saw blood from his fingertips and hissed only then did he feel the pain quite strongly.
"Hiss~ it got cut when I suddenly moved before. That soul weapon of that Tyrant is as sharp as his tongue. Both are poisonous. d.a.m.n! Is this wound the reason I can"t properly use my qi?" mumbled Xia Jieye as he tried healing his wounds.
But as an embodiment of darkness, affinity in light elements isn"t that good. He could heal scratches with it but against fatal injuries it is useless. He could only use his blood element to increase the regeneration effects of his blood in his body and close up the wounds. It took a few looks for Xia Jieye to recognize where he was.
"This is... Inferno? Since when did the Ye Gui"s able to control s.p.a.ce spells that could transfer people to far distances such as world to world. Only the Hei is supposed to be able to do such a thing." murmured Xia Jieye.
It was at this time that few people appeared before him. Be recognized few from the Ye Gui race like Ye Mo and his father but he also knew that person standing with them. He immediately guessed a few things when he saw this old man"s dull gray eyes which is a bloodline feature of that clan.
[My Lord, this person is the current Clan Leader of the Hei Clan and Lord Hei Sian"s biological father, Hei Yinan.]
In his thoughts, Xia Jieye spoke to System Yue. Yue is a system that is solely connected to System Yang. Regardless of time, distance, or s.p.a.ce, they are able to communicate with each other. This is why he had given System Yang to Hei Anjing. With Zhi Yang on his side, he would be able to communicate or contact him no matter what.
Carrying Hei Anjing in his arms he didn"t feel System Yang anywhere around Baby Jing. It means Zhi Yang was either sleeping or not with Anjing.
"Yue, check where Zhi Yang is. If he is in Vearth tell him to go find Siw.a.n.g and say that we are in Inferno. But make preparations, the Hei and Ye Guis are working together. As well as to come as soon as possible, at my current state it is a bit impossible to leave here unscathed while protecting Jing"er. Most of these people have the Mythical Cultivation stage and two are Celestial Immortals! After you finish staying in Jing"er Soul Domain. Keep him asleep and make sure to protect him no matter what!"
[My Lord, how about you? At your current state you can barely use half of your original cultivation.]
"Blame that Stupid Tyrant for that. Who made his Soul Weapon to instantly seal off a part of my cultivation by just slashing my vitals once. Do as you are told. Jing" er" safety is your top priority. You can... Ignore me." said Xia Jieye as he put out his black sword out of thin air and stood straight while keeping almost all of his attention to Baby Jing in his arms.
[A-As you wish, my lord!]
Out of nowhere, the G.o.d of Void"s face turned cold and emotionless as he stared at these guys who instantly surrounded them the moment they arrived.
Ye Mo was the most surprised to see their creator standing in front of them. They had all come over here the moment Xia Jieye lost to Mo Baojun after they kidnapped Hei Anjing, the youngest generation of the Mo Clan.
This is because of the secret collaboration their race had with the Hei Clan. They wanted to do something that would p.i.s.s off and make the Mo Clan panicked while the Hei Clan wanted to get their heir instead. After all, Hei Anjing is half a Mo and half a Hei. This makes this old immortal, Hei Yinan, as Baby Jing"s paternal grandfather.
Unfortunately, Hei Yinan is the type to care more about power and authority instead of familial love. Ever since the birth of Hei Anjing, neither Mo Yue nor Hei Sian wanted their son to meet someone from the Hei Clan. This is because Hei Sian had been long expelled by his clan even before he married Mo Yue.
But after Hei Sian got married to Mo Yue, who was prestigious and regal the Mo Clan is, made the greed for power of the Hei Clan awaken. This is the reason why Hei Sian never returns to his clan. Except for his elder brother"s family, the people of this clan are extremely greedy especially Hei Yinan.
The last time the father and son had met each other, Hei Yinan asked Hei Sian to use his wife"s family"s fame to increase the power of their clan. Using all resources of the Mo Clan to make the Hei Clan the most powerful among all immortal clans. Because of this, the conversation between the two had ended badly and their relationship turned sour to the point that Hei Sian even proclaimed that he no longer had any connection to the Hei Clan after that event.
Since that day, Hei Sian no longer treated the Hei Clan as his family clan and even declared that his relationship with his father had been cut off and no matter what happens to him no longer got anything to do with this. The Hei Clan after this had almost lost their n.o.ble status and they all hated Hei Sian for being a white-eyed wolf.
The Hei had hidden within their clans since that day. But it seems that their greed cannot be held back any longer, especially after hearing that a descendant of Mo with half of their Hei Clan"s bloodline was born. Hei Anjing is a baby that possesses the blood of Mo and Hei. Hei Yinan after hearing this felt that this child is their biggest opportunity. As long as the child grew up in his Hei Clan, this child would be biased to their side and it will be easier to influence the Mo Clan afterward.
Thinking of this, he had secretly approached the race that hated the Mo Clan the most, which is the Ye Guis. Their collaboration is that when the Ye Guis are in danger, Hei Yinan must save them once in exchange they will help him kidnap the youngest descendant of the Mo Clan.
Surprised to see the Void G.o.d, the Ye Guis didn"t know whether to run away or attack him. They had witnessed his battle with the Tyrant G.o.d. Though this person ended up losing to Mo Baojun his strength is still countless stages above theirs. Ye Mo was especially frightened of him.
Ye Mo stutters as he speaks, "W-Why... Why are you... Here!?"
The current leader of Ye Gui still showed his respect towards their creator even after their rebellion. "My lord, our dear creator, welcome to our little star."
"I see. You even collaborate with the Hei Clan to abduct the little one. I told you to mind your business and you still touch this child. Are you betraying this lord for real!?" said the G.o.d of Void as he scrutinized each and everyone one of them. The Ye Guis was frightened by their Lord"s glare, though they had rebelled their fear towards this being who made them is instilled within their souls.
On the other hand, the old immortal from the Hei Clan is calm even though seeing the G.o.d of Void in front of him, Hei Yinan"s eyes are still focused on the bundle within his arm. Though he couldn"t see the appearance of the baby, Hei Yinan knew that it was his one-year-old grandson, Hei Anjing.
The Void G.o.d threatens, "Your eyes aren"t likable. Move it! Unless you want this lord to pluck it out for you!" said Xia Jieye as he glared sharply at the old immortal of the Hei Clan.
Seeing his reaction made Xia Jieye feel that his most precious person is being preyed upon. He would only cover Hei Anjing with darkness and prevent the others from looking at him. This reaction made even Hei Yinan who meets the G.o.d of Void the first time startled. He never expected this man to be possessive and overprotective towards his grandson to such an extent.
Ye Mo"s father was speechless. Though he had heard a few things from his son about their creator being obsessed with the youngest Mo, seeing it for himself is more believable.
"This is really..."
"I told you right, father. The Lord is no longer the same," said Ye Mo. "He must have jumped towards the toddler before the transfer was completed. That"s why he appeared here. He looks weakened from his battle with the Tyrant G.o.d, what should we do, father?"
The current leader of the Ye Gui race didn"t respond right away but glanced at the other Celestial Immortal like him which is the Old Immortal from the Hei Clan.
"Old Hei, what do you want to do?" he asked.
Hei Yinan replied, "I cannot leave my own grandson to a stranger. Help me take my grandson back."
"Sigh~ Well then I will abide by our contract. Surround him and... attack. He is weakened due to his fight with the Tyrant. Do your best to kill him!" said the current leader of the Ye Gui.
The command was issued and almost all fighters from the Ye Gui and Hei Clan had surrounded the G.o.d of Void. Regardless of his situation, Xia Jieye is calm and reasonable but only at this moment that he felt the fear that those weapons might scratch the little one within his arms. Just thinking about it made him angry. In his rage, all darkness in the world gathered upon his wish, and the sky in inferno turned to black as if the abyss itself had swallowed the world.
Within that darkness, only the blood-red eyes of Xia Jieye can be seen and they heard his voice everywhere within that darkness.
"Since you are asking for death then this lord will grant your wishes..."
