859 14.135 Last Violet Star – Reality: After the Demon King had left...
Back in Reality...
Silence dropped in the underground chamber when the wisp of soul that the King of Devil had used to take over Devil Tanlan’s life vanished, and the tension between the couple was exceptionally high.
After the tragedy, which he failed to prevent more than 10 years ago, Xia Jieye was now made aware of his wife’s suffering for the first time. He ought to have averted Bai Wuan’s death if he had known that it would end up this way, even if Yun Xiajie’s vessel shattered. He wouldn’t have let his defenses down and allowed his wife to use his hand to kill himself.
However, Xia Jieye was aware that his wife’s activities had all been carefully calculated to stop the Origin and the End from becoming further engaged in this world at a specific juncture. Before the end of the Second Phase of the Reincarnation Trial, this is the last world to be considered. The last hurdle before he is fully reincarnated will occur after they have finished this world. He was aware of it because he had seen his brother Shen Siw.a.n.g go through the same ordeal when his other half, Mo Baojun, had pa.s.sed away a few thousand years ago. He had witnessed how that Trial developed, therefore he also knew what would happen at the conclusion of the Second Trial.
He, who will be revived by Hei Anjing, had to kill the person he loves the most at the Final Stage of the Second Phase of the Reincarnation Trial. He must accomplish this one and only condition in order for the trial’s Final Phase to proceed.
Xia Jieye felt in his heart that he could never undertake such an ordeal. It wouldn’t even be possible for the original Ye Xiajie who was waiting in the Netherworld. The task of killing their own wife is impossible for them to do. It was only at this moment that Xia Jieye understood his brother, Shen Siw.a.n.g’s hesitation at that time. Like him, he couldn’t harm the person he loves the most in this world. He also knew the possibility of his wife forcing him to do so, like how Mo Baojun did at that time. In his heart, he decided to plan things for the future.
As the final star for the second stage of the trial, they were destined to remain in this realm together until the end of this world. Therefore, Xia Jieye decides to engage in whatever his Jing’er wants to accomplish and enjoy this final world with his wife. He is prepared to a.s.sist him regardless of the outcome, even if his wife wishes to end this world.
He is enraged right now, though, for a different cause. Xia Jieye fixes his gaze on his wife, who was undoubtedly dodging his gaze. Hei Anjing definitely realizes what he did was wrong, but he is unable to admit the decisions and acts he made before fully reviving his husband. Because to Hei Anjing, all of his decisions were all right.
Xia Jieye approached his wife with humility. As he draws nearer, he notices that his wife was attempting to flee but was unwilling to do so at the same time. Evidently, the latter felt his hidden displeasure.
.....
“Baby~...”
Flinched!
“Y-Yes!”
“Let’s go home and rest. What we came for in this place is done,” said Xia Jieye.
Regarding the interaction his wife had with the father of the owner of the vessel he is using, Xia Jieye had made no mention of it. He didn’t care because he cared. He simply knew that, should he ever ask, he would find it difficult to remain silent.
After leaving the bottom cavern, the two met a troop of human soldiers brandishing spears together with disciples of the Hou Long Sect. Unexpectedly, the Human Emperor and his Prime Minister are in front of such a crowd. Presumably, they were given a report that described Chun Hongyun-Jun’s background as a Half-Devil.
As the Guardian of the Human Race, the Human Emperor said, “I apologize for doing this, but it is my job to maintain this world. We cannot allow any demon to live, whether they are a pureblood or someone with the blood of a devil.”
Xia Jieye responded, “I know,” but his expression remained neutral and his eyes lacked compa.s.sion.
It is clear that he does not consider these people to be worthy of being subjected to his gaze. He was accustomed to being looked at and treated like a Calamity Star since he was the G.o.d of Void and Darkness. He has experienced so many betrayals in his life and is no longer affected by them. He is an Evil G.o.d after all.Please visit ｆ???we?ｎ૦???. ?o?
The Prime Minister said, “As of today, everyone is already aware of Chun Hongyun-Jun’s origin. I would like to invite Chun Hongyun-Jun to kindly come with us.”
“The Five Great Clans’ response?” Xia Jieye questioned.
The Human Emperor said, “They were notified and would be going over to the Capital to visit the Venerable Lord and Chun Hongyun-Jun.”
Hei Anjing remarked in a joking tone, “What do you plan to do now? Invite my husband alone? How about me?~”, although the depths of his eyes were even icy as the winter.
Hei Anjing, who was grinning at their emperor, exerted a great deal of pressure on the soldiers and cultivators positioned behind the Human Emperor and the Prime Minister. Although he appears to be kind and laid back, his aura betrays this. They are aware that if their ruler offends Chun Hongyun-Jun with even one word, his other half would erupt in rage. Hei Anjing, who is a descendant of the Upper Realm and an Immortal, would definitely ma.s.sacre them all.
The Human Emperor raised his voice and said, “Of course! The Esteemed Lord is welcome. Come with Chun Hongyun-Jun as you desire. Please~” He motioned for the two men to follow him and saw their hands entangled with each other.
Hei Anjing was marching past the troops and the prime minister when he abruptly stopped and addressed the Human Emperor.
Hei Anjing waved his hand and tossed a communication orb to the Human Emperor, saying, “Oh! All mortals and cultivators in this realm might not be enough. I should a.s.sist you to contact the Heavenly Domain to further expand the pleasure you might intend to do so~.” The little demon adds, “You can contact the Heavenly Court with the communication orb. If they approve, you might be able to ask another immortal to aid you~,” with a sly smirk on his lips.
The Human Emperor and Prime Minister grimace as they verify the communication orb from Hei Anjing before turning to meet the world’s most attractive individual they had ever seen.
The Prime Minister questioned, “Are you not terrified of the implications, what if the other immortals consented to the desires of us, Mortals?~”
Hearing such a question from Cao Junya makes Hei Anjing’s smile even wider.
“Mortals don’t even listen to the voice of the animals they murdered. Would Immortals listen to creatures they view as ants?” according to Hei Anjing. “There may be quirky or stupid G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses in that location, but very few were prepared to act when they realized this King was involved.”
“For me, as long as my love is safe, as long as I can have fun, the rest doesn’t matter much—haha—but I am still giving you a chance, right? There is one in a million that may be ready to listen,” said Hei Anjing with a sneer at the corner of his lips.
As they departed, Hei Anjing dragged his husband behind him. This pair never once turned their heads back as they left, despite the fact that n.o.body was sure where they were meant to go next without the Human Emperor accompanying them. The defenseless troops and human cultivators were scared s.h.i.tless inside as they were left all behind. Finally, they clearly recall the gentleman who was standing next to Chun Hongyun-Jun. An existence that even in the Upper Realm seems deemed unattainable. Hei Anjing, an immortal yet cruel G.o.d.
Behind his vivacious grin lurks an obvious danger, and no one was too insensitive to not sense it. One of the Imperial Palace’s most opulent courtyards served as the couple’s detention area. Lord Hei, who detested having outsiders around him, asked that no servants be left inside. Rather, he instructed System Yang and System Yue to a.s.sume human forms and serve as their obedient caretakers.
If Hei Anjing and Chun Hongyun-Jun were serious about wanting to depart, the royal family had no way of stopping them. Therefore, the royal guards stationed outside of their courtyard were nothing more than ornaments to control those who were uneasy about Chun Hongyun-Jun albeit knowing that he had Devil’s blood. The couple’s att.i.tude toward the occurrences outside their home was treated with an att.i.tude of devil-may-care.
The Human Emperor and his Prime Minister had a.s.sembled with all Sect Masters of the Great Sects in the guest hall. Yun Huaxia of the Lan Zhuayun Sect, Lu Er and Lu Yi of the Lu Weifeng Sect, and Jin Shiyan and his wife, Bai Lili of the Jin Tiangui Sect round out the group.
The Prime Minister and Emperor Hong felt their auras strain when they saw such a lineup. The majority of them had comparable strengths. Just that Bai Qiyin and Bai Lili’s qi was purer than the others. A little like the vibe Hei Anjing exuded.
The prime minister stated, “Thank you for coming today, and I would like to express the appreciation of the Imperial Family for the Esteemed Selves of everyone here who has come.”
“Everyone had gathered here because we had learned that the strongest cultivator in the human realm, Chun Hongyun-Jun, happens to be someone with the bloodline of the Devil Race. This is supported by the witnesses who were present when the Devil King’s soul wisp had taken over the soul of the devil hiding within the young deceased prince’s corpse. Some royal soldiers heard that the Devil King himself deemed Chun Hongyun-Jun as someone of his own.”
“We would want to request the big sects for a.s.sistance in curbing the disturbance within the human race since the common people are in a panic.”
None of the sect leaders appeared interested in the prime minister soliciting their cooperation in conquering the devil. In this circ.u.mstance, they are more worried about diverse but connected difficulties.
Bai Qiyin scoffed and declared, “Speaking in such an indirect way, why don’t you just declare that you wanted us to migrate with your royal family and vanquish Chun Hongyun-Jun?”
The Bai Lengshui Sect’s guru was always frank and aggressive. He doesn’t fret about the Imperial Family’s status. Moreover, he leans more on the other party which includes his elder brother as the human race’s target happens to be his Dao Companion.
“If we indeed want to beat Chun Hongyun-Jun, would you people support us?” asks Emperor Hong, who had been silent the entire time.
The four sect masters exchanged glances while displaying expressions of dismay and helplessness. They then responded to the Human Emperor’s question as a group.
They said, “No. We don’t want to die yet.”
The Emperor sighed a weary and melancholy grunt as the Prime Minister was horrified by what he heard. Although he already knew what they would say, hearing it was another matter. Only the prime minister had a different perspective. He believes that the other Sect Masters have gone mad, unlike him. None of the other sect leaders are ready to fight alongside him and the imperial family because the objective is just one person, plus his lover, making them merely a couple of antagonists.
He practically glares at the other Great Sect sect masters, yelling incredulously, “WHY!?”
Lu Yi clicked his tongue and glared at the Prime Minister. He said with a menacing tone, “If you want to die then don’t get us involved. Who do you think A’Wuan is? Just an ordinary immortal? No!!! He is Sect Master Bai’s elder brother, Sect Master Yun and Sect Master Jin’s brother-in-law, and our Lu Weifeng Sect’s savior!”
“You wanted to touch his man!? Don’t you know what happened to the people who dared to harm his beloved!? They all perish. Perish! Erased from existence! You obviously tried to turn a blind eye to it. When he learned about Chun Hongyun-Jun’s ident.i.ty did he even bat his eyes? I bet my life he didn’t even care.”
“That is a lunatic that would be willing to be the entire three realms’ enemy to protect the person he loves! You want to touch Chun Hongyun-Jun!? If you aren’t courting death then what the h.e.l.l do you think you are trying to do?!”
“At least don’t get us involved if you want to get yourself killed! Ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who don’t remember who placed you guys on that throne and that power you called at Hou Long Sect!”
When he overheard the Prime Minister griping about their decision to stay out of the conflict, Lu Yi had already lost his patience. Who would try to threaten Xia Jieye, whom Hei Anjing is eager to defend in any circ.u.mstance? Like how difficult it is to change the heart of Hei Anjing, who is a vicious person. Moving the one he loves the most is much more difficult. They weren’t insane enough to rouse a monster that was fast asleep.
