Chapter 437: Protect the World With You, and Betray Justice With You
Xuanyuan Shen placed his hands behind his back and acted like an elder as he explained to Yu Huang arrogantly, “This isn’t poison, but demonic nature. This friend of yours called Anna didn’t awaken an ordinary ant beast form, but a beast form with a terrifying demonic nature! This child is a demonic cultivator!”
With that, Xuanyuan Shen made a copy of the surveillance camera footage and was about to leave with it.
Yu Huang’s expression changed slightly.
She quickly followed Xuanyuan Shen and asked him, “How do you plan to deal with Anna?”
Xuanyuan Shen sneered and said mercilessly, “Demonic cultivators should be killed!”
Xuanyuan Shen saw that Yu Huang was young and didn’t know how terrifying demonic cultivators were, so he told her, “Demonic cultivators are monsters that shouldn’t exist in this world. Back then, after Prime Master Jing An cut off the head of a demonic cultivator, under the witness of thousands of Beast Tamers, she crushed the demonic cultivator’s beast heart in public and crushed his bones to pieces, cutting off his path to reincarnation!”
“Of course, this little girl called Anna should also have her head chopped off, her beast heart crushed, and her bones burned! We must not give her any chance of revival!”
Yu Huang looked at Xuanyuan Shen’s righteous appearance, and the smile in her eyes suddenly disappeared. When they dealt with Su Xuanye, she had never seen him so proactive. When he bullied Anna, whose cultivation was weak, he was very proactive.
Xuanyuan Shen lowered his head and played with the surveillance backup thumb drive in his hand. He said matter-of-factly, “Dean Di has always been righteous. If he knew that his little disciple was a fiendish cultivator, he would definitely take the initiative to hand over the child and let us deal with him!”
After saying that, Xuanyuan Shen immediately took out his phone and said, “It’s about a demonic cultivator. It’s a major event in the entire cultivation world. I have to inform the alliance to destroy the demonic cultivator together!”
Demonic cultivators were cruel. Xuanyuan Shen wasn’t stupid enough to go and destroy a demon alone.
Everyone had to go together!
Xuanyuan Shen called Fu Yu’an from the Beast Tamer Alliance in front of Yu Huang and explained that Anna was a fiendish cultivator.
On the phone, Fu Yu’an’s response was very formal. “Send me the exact evidence. If the news is true, we will announce it.”
“… Okay.”
After hanging up, Xuanyuan Shen complained about Fu Yu’an in a low voice, “This dim-witted person. Three guest elders of the Xuanyuan Clan have died. Isn’t that enough to explain everything? He still has to look at the evidence?!”
Although he was impatient, Xuanyuan Shen still decided to send the copy of the video to the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Alliance in Jingdu for Fu Yu’an and the other vice presidents to see.
When Xuanyuan Shen saw that Yu Huang was still standing beside him, he thought that Yu Huang was curious about his next plan, so he said, “Once the alliance confirms that Anna is a fiendish cultivator, they will definitely announce this news on the website. At that time, when the righteous Beast Tamers see this news, they will definitely join forces to eliminate the fiendish cultivator.”
When Xuanyuan Shen saw Yu Huang’s slightly pale face, he thought that she was young and afraid of trouble. “This is the first time you’ve seen a fiendish cultivator in your entire life, right? Don’t be afraid. For such a big matter like subduing a demon, old fellows like us will naturally take action. When your generation completely grows up, you will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of subduing a demon.”
Xuanyuan Shen continued, “However, although you’re young and shouldn’t have partic.i.p.ated in the battle to subdue the demon, you’re still the Yin Clan’s Patriarch now. You have to force yourself to grow up. Why don’t you follow us to capture that demonic cultivator alive and witness the moment when that demonic cultivator’s bones are reduced to ashes?! Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
The corners of Yu Huang’s lips curled up slightly. She said, “…Okay.”

Xuanyuan Shen went to the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Alliance and handed the copy of the video to Fu Yu’an.
The appearance of a demonic cultivator was of great importance, so Fu Yu’an couldn’t make the decision on his own. He immediately contacted the vice presidents and gathered them together to organize a video conference.
This meeting was secretly held for an hour.
An hour later, Yu Huang saw that the Beast Tamer Alliance would announce on the official website that Anna was a fiendish cultivator and invite righteous Beast Tamers to surround Anna.
Operation Demon Subduing had officially begun!
With Xuanyuan Shen as the leader, all the self-proclaimed ‘righteous’ Beast Tamers in the Divine Realm Continent gathered in Jingdu and set off for the small building where Di Ruofeng lived. Di Ruofeng also had his own house in Jingdu, which was very close to Lin Jiansheng’s villa and manor. It was on the same mountain.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao went to Di Ruofeng’s house with Ji Linyuan.
“Dean Di!”
Xuanyuan Shen stood at the door and shouted Di Ruofeng’s name.
“Dean Di, today, the righteous Beast Tamers of the Divine Realm Continent came to ask you for someone. Your little disciple, Anna, took the opportunity to devour the spiritual power of three guest elders of the Xuanyuan Clan during the battle of the Eight Towers Mountain, causing them to die of organ failure! After investigation, we confirmed that she is a demonic cultivator!”
“Every time a fiendish cultivator appears, the continent will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering!”
“The Divine Realm Academy is the number one high-level Beast Tamer Academy on the continent. Countless great people on the continent have graduated from your school. In the past, in the many demon-subduing activities, your school has always insisted on eliminating fiendish cultivators! I think that as the dean of the Divine Realm Academy, Dean Di should be a righteous person! I hope that you can take the initiative to hand over your fiendish cultivator disciple as a warning to others!”
Xuanyuan Shen’s words were defeaning.
However, the tightly shut door didn’t open. A Beast Tamer began to mutter—
“What’s going on? We received confirmation that the old dean still lives in Jingdu. He’s inside. Why doesn’t he open the door? Could it be that he’s unwilling to hand over the fiendish cultivator?”
“Everyone says that Dean Di is righteous. When this really happened to him, he’s being protective?”
“Sigh, looks like the dean of the Divine Realm Academy is only so-so!”
Xuanyuan Shen’s expression darkened when he saw that the dean was unwilling to open the door. When he spoke again, his tone had already become stern. “Dean Di, what? Are you unwilling to hand over that fiendish cultivator?”
There was still no movement from the door.
There was a commotion.
“What’s going on?”
“Dean Di really plans to cover up for his little disciple?”
At this moment, Yu Huang stood up.
Yu Huang said, “He isn’t that kind of person. Perhaps he’s not at home at all.”
Xuanyuan Shen immediately retorted, “Dean Di’s cultivation level is high. Even if he’s not at home, with so many of us coming to his house with great fanfare, he should have sensed the commotion and taken the initiative to appear.”
Xuanyuan Shen revealed a spurious smile and said, “It seems that the Divine Realm Academy is only so-so. With such a dean, tsk tsk…”
Hearing this, some of the Divine Realm Academy graduates standing in the crowd revealed angry expressions. “Xuanyuan Shen, stop being sarcastic. No matter what, the Divine Realm Academy is stronger than your Divine Eagle Academy!”
Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Yu Huang reached out and pushed open the door.
“Won’t we know if he’s there or not when we go in and take a look?” With that said, Yu Huang was the first to enter. After entering, she even turned around and said to Xuanyuan Shen, “Patriarch Xuanyuan, don’t worry. He didn’t set up any array formations in the courtyard. It’s safe.”
Sheng Xiao chuckled when he heard Yu Huang’s words. He strode into the room with her.
Xuanyuan Shen’s expression was a little gloomy. How could he not tell that Yu Huang was mocking him for being timid and not daring to barge into the Prime Master’s private residence?
Xuanyuan Shen took a deep breath and brought the others into the courtyard.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they found that the villa where Di Ruofeng lived had been destroyed by something. The roof had collapsed! Sheng Xiao suddenly flew upstairs. He saw something and shouted in panic, “Dean! Why are you like this?!”
Hearing this, Yu Huang, Xuanyuan Shen, and the others flew upstairs. In a bedroom that had been destroyed the most, they saw the old dean, who had long been frozen into an ice popsicle.
The old dean stood by the bed and stabbed at the bed with a dagger in his hand, as if he was going to commit murder on someone sleeping on the bed. From his posture, he had been frozen into an ice popsicle in an instant.
Yu Huang exclaimed, “It was that Icy Night T-Rex!”
Di Ruofeng had a Icy Night T-Rex, and that T-Rex had the ability to instantly freeze things. This was something many people knew. The only person who could instantly freeze Di Ruofeng while he was caught off guard was the T-Rex.
Seeing this, Liuli Xiangsi smiled mockingly at Xuanyuan Shen and said, “Patriarch Xuanyuan, you really wronged our dean earlier. Our dean has always been a righteous person. He must have discovered the truth that Anna is a fiendish cultivator and wanted to kill her personally, but he was instantly frozen by the Icy Night T-Rex that betrayed him.”
“Hmph!” Xuanyuan Shen snorted and said, “That Icy Night T-Rex is Dean Di’s pet. How could it betray Dean Di so easily? I can’t say for sure, but this might be an act put on by Dean Di!”
“I don’t like what you’re saying.” Liuli Xiangsi stroked the dean’s frozen face with heartache. She said, “Patriarch Xuanyuan, you’re not a senior of the Divine Realm Academy. You might not know, but this Icy Night T-Rex’s Ice Seal Technique is very powerful. Anyone who is successfully frozen by him, be it a Grand Master or a Prime Master, will have their spiritual power instantly sealed. In at most two hours, those who are frozen will die from hypothermia.”
“Even our dean is no exception.”
Liuli Xiangsi looked at the old dean’s eyes with heartache and said sadly, “You said that the dean was putting on a pitiful act. Did he have to risk his life? We don’t know how long our poor dean has been frozen and if he can still be saved.”
Liuli Xiangsi wiped her nonexistent tears and scolded, “Poor dean, he was actually murdered by that ingrate disciple and the Icy Night T-Rex.”
After what Liuli Xiangsi had done, Xuanyuan Shen could no longer accuse Di Ruofeng of shielding his disciple.
“Retreat!” Yu Huang suddenly summoned Xuan Yu to save the old dean.
As soon as Xuan Yu appeared, the temperature in the cold room suddenly rose, and the ice that had frozen the dean was slowly melting.
Ordinary people really couldn’t withstand the power of the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame. When Liuli Xiangsi saw that her curly hair, which had just been done, was about to explode from the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame, she, who was vain, immediately flew downstairs and retreated far away. Xuanyuan Shen and the others didn’t want to delay Yu Huang’s rescue, so they also retreated unwillingly.
As soon as they left, Sheng Xiao said, “It escaped with Anna.” The two of them looked at each other. They knew that the old dean was putting on a show, but they didn’t expose him.
Sheng Xiao looked at his watch and said, “When it flew away, it called out to Eight Towers Mountain. It was ten in the morning. Now… there are still six minutes to twelve.” If they had come six minutes later, the old dean would have frozen to death.
Yu Huang sighed. “He’s gambling with his life.”
“Yes.”
Sheng Xiao thought of something and said, “Wherever the Icy Night T-Rex goes, the temperature will plummet. It will definitely attract the attention of the Beast Tamers. Now that the news that Anna is a demonic cultivator has been announced, it won’t be easy for the Icy Night T-Rex to escape with her. Stay here and take care of the dean. I’ll help them.”
Then, Sheng Xiao turned to leave to help Anna. Yu Huang stopped him anxiously. “Sheng Xiao! Anna is a demonic cultivator. If you do this, you will become an enemy of the righteous beast tamers.”
Sheng Xiao stopped in his tracks and looked at the group of people downstairs. He suddenly turned his head and smiled at Yu Huang. “But she’s the friend you care about the most. You believe her. You want to protect her, don’t you?”
Yu Huang was speechless.
“The person you want to protect is also the person I want to protect. I’m not afraid of becoming the enemy of the world. I’m just afraid of letting you fight alone.” Sheng Xiao walked back and hugged Yu Huang’s head. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He said, “You’ve fought alone for long enough during the apocalypse of Earth. In this life, I will protect this world with you and betray justice with you.”
