“Milady, would you like to summon the army to ma.s.sacre all living beings in this world?” the gigantic monster knelt with one knee on the ground and respectfully asked.
“Do you desire killing that much?” Su Xue Er smirked and asked.
The monster lowered its head deeply and humbly replied: “I apologize if my words offend you, it was because I recognize your anger towards some kind of restraint”
“Restraint?”
Su Xue Er whispered: “That’s right, I’ve been avoiding it for too long, I really should face it head on…”
She reached out her hand to pluck the scepter from the ground.
The monster opened its palm to let Su Xue Er stand on it.
Then he brought her to ride on top of his head.
“Let us go, that direction” Su Xue Er pointed to a certain direction.
“Yes”
The monster spread his wings wide and moved.
With a ‘whoosh’, the monster had ascended into the air, heading for the Confederate capital.
It was very fast, going out of sight in mere seconds.
Zhang Ying Hao stared at the air, muttering: “Where is she going?”
“Don’t know, but from how angry she looked, somebody is certainly going to get it” the small white bird commented.
“With such power, even if we go we’ll only get in her way” Ye Fei Li crossed his arms and commented.
The President stood at the door of the mansion and slowly said: “If her safety is no longer a concern, the matter between her and the 9 Lords is no longer something we should interfere with”
“I also feel the same” Varona nodded in agreement.
The group returned to the mansion.
As soon as they sat down, a scream was heard.
It was Ye Fei Li, rolling on the ground in pain while screaming.
He almost seemed to be suffering from some sort of torture.
Everyone was frightened.
But before they managed to do anything, Ye Fei Li suddenly stood up again.
“How are you now?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
“I’m fine, it’s just some sudden pain, it’s ok now” Ye Fei Li was breathing heavily as he replied.
He had a strange look on his face.
“Say, do any of you hear or see anything?”
The group of people and weapons of Huang Quan all went silent.
It was so silent all around that the only sound they heard was a faint breeze as it pa.s.sed through the trees.
“If you’re talking about the mountain winds then sure, I hear it” the small white bird answered.
“It’s not the mountain winds” Ye Fei Li replied.
“Then there’s nothing else” Liao Xing said.
“Don’t you usually hear a lot of strange things with your G.o.d’s Chosen Skill anyways?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
Ye Fei Li’s expression turned even stranger.
“None of you really hear anything at all?”
They all shook their heads.
Zhang Ying Hao thought for a bit and asked: “What did you hear?”
“An unknown voice came from somewhere and told me: ‘Welcome new user of the Soul Points Conversion Device. From now on, whenever you kill something, the absorbed chaotic powers will be filtered, leaving only pure Soul Points, improving your rate of evolution”
“I’m guessing that would be the card Su Xue Er gave you” Liao Xing said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Soul Points, what a nostalgic name that is” the Soul Separating Hook sighed.
“What are Soul Points?” Ye Fei Li was intrigued.
“Soul Points are also called Divine Power, the most basic power of the world’s Origin, purest form of power for any living beings, it can even be used to trigger the use of Laws”
The Soul Separating Hook told Ye Fei Li: “Seems like what Su Xue Er gave you was a very impressive G.o.d’s Chosen Skill”
“Is that so?” Ye Fei Li wasn’t quite sure.
“Even we can’t use Soul Points, only Divine Armaments are able to” the small white bird added in admiration.
“So I’ll become a Divine Armament?” Ye Fei Li was more confused.
“It’s not that, you’ll become as strong as us Divine Armaments, possibly even surpa.s.sing us” the Soul Separating Hook replied.
Hearing the Soul Separating Hook, everyone looked at Ye Fei Li full of admiration.
“I’m Gu Qing Shan’s partner over here, she should’ve given me such a thing like that just now” Zhang Ying Hao muttered.
The Soul Separating Hook explained: “The ability to directly use Soul Points isn’t common, there are only enough of them in the Samsara worlds to count on one hand, I’m guessing that she only happened to find that single one”
“But she gave it to Ye Fei Li” Liao Xing complained.
“That’s because Ye Fei Li is Gu Qing Shan’s good brother” the small white bird chimed in.
“I’m also one aren’t I?” Liao Xing refuted.
“That’s not true, Lord Su isn’t such a simple person that she would give Ye Fei Li a present, just because of his relations.h.i.+p with Gu Qing Shan” the President commented.
Everyone looked to him.
The President’s eyes had a glint of understanding only possessed by one who was highly experienced in life.
“Not just her power, you shouldn’t underestimate the other characteristics of that young girl as well”
“Then why?” Liao Xing asked.
“The fact that Ye Fei Li could make her change her att.i.tude that easily is part of the reason” the President said.
Varona added: “Furthermore, she must’ve gotten to know Ye Fei Li quite well from the memories of his girlfriend”
“Indeed, she must’ve saw something about him that she could empathize with” the President added.
The two leaders easily dissected the situation in just a few words.
Everyone nodded in agreement after a few moments of thought.
Liao Xing glared at Ye Fei Li, crying unfair: “I was supposed to be the one who cultivates the fastest. Brat, I object to you using that thing of yours to cheat!”
Ye Fei Li ignored Liao Xing.
He took out his personal Holo-Brain and said: “Impartial G.o.ddess, please find me a prey”
He wanted to check what kind of change Soul Points would bring to him.
Impartial G.o.ddess answered: [Mr. Ye Fei Li, there is a Foundation realm late stage cultivator 750km to your South East”
“This person had just killed the Mayor as well as the Commissioner of the town, now currently robbing a bank’s vault. According to Confederate laws, you may kill that person on the spot]
“Got it”
Ye Fei Li turned off his Holo-Brain.
As he was about to leave, someone knocked on the floor.
That person loudly called out from outside: “Is there anyone here?”
“Who are you?” Liao Xing answered.
He stood up, wanting to open the door.
Zhang Ying Hao grabbed his hand and pulled back.
“Stop”
Zhang Ying Hao whispered.
“What is it?” Liao Xing asked.
“There’s a faint killing intent, something must be wrong” Zhang Ying Hao replied.
With a solemn expression, he stood up and used spirit energy to open the door from afar.
The door easily opened.
A long-haired man was waiting at the door.
He carried with him a long spear decorated with a red string.
Seeing the door open by itself, the man smiled and spoke: “Quite impressive of you to notice my killing intent. But don’t misunderstand, it’s not directed towards you lot specifically”
“Who might you be?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
The man lightly bowed: “I’m a messenger”
“Whose messenger?”
“The Asura realm”
Everyone’s faces changed.
The Soul Separating Hook spoke: “What business do you have in the human realm?”
“Simply put, the Demi of Heaven realm and Wraiths from the Wraith realm are organizing an allied army, wanting to declare total war on the fused Huang Quan and human realm”
“The Heavenly G.o.d was already defeated” the President spoke in a low voice.
“That is due to the work of another world’s Combatant, the other Demis don’t want to accept such a result”
The man continued: “The human realm was only saved by the efforts of the hundred quadrillion dead, it paid no price, but gets to enjoy all the benefits of fusing two worlds”
He smirked and said: “No one could’ve thought that fusing two worlds would bring so much benefits, and since the beings of the human realm mature very quickly, both the Demi and Wraiths are already unwilling to wait anymore”
“You mean to say that they want to get their hands on our post-fusion human realm?” the President asked.
“Indeed, if the Heaven realm or Wraith realm can absorb your world as well, they will also grow stronger. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such benefits?”
Everyone froze.
The room fell silent.
“So you only came to deliver that message?” Zhang Ying Hao asked, suspicious.
“Of course not”
The man kept talking: “Truthfully, even the Beast King realm is already acting secretly. The entire Samsara world wants your world, so I’m here to give you a warning”
Varona went straight to the point: “If it’s as you said, the Heaven realm, Wraith realm, Beast King realm are all tempted by the human realm, why would your Asura world be so generous and tell us?”
The man smiled wider, declaring: “We have a peaceful solution. Let US absorb your world into our Asura world, this way we’ll protect you and ensure that you won’t be invaded by another world”
…
On another side.
The Confederate capital.
Earlier tonight, the 9 Lords had just finished a press conference.
At this time, all unrelated personnel have left.
The most influential people of all 9 Lords have gathered in the main hall of the Huang family to enjoy a banquet.
This banquet wasn’t public.
Besides the 8 Lords and their main branch members, the only people here were the high-ranking cultivators who offered them their services.
Using the opportunity that came from the 2 worlds’ fusion, the speed of their cultivation greatly increased.
Golden Core realm was the lowest qualification to come under the 9 Lords’ service.
As the time of the banquet drew near, more and more Combatants came.
They were greeting and getting to know one another.
The Grand Cultivation Alliance will be formed.
As the main recipients of its benefits, every guest here was smiling ear to ear.
The clock struck 7 PM.
A graceful old man came forward on the stand.
“Ladies, gentlemen” the old man began to speak to everyone at the scene.
“Today, will be a day to go into history”
Bang!
The main gate was blasted open.
Intense wind flowed into the banquet hall.
Su Xue Er’s figure appeared in the wind, glancing down at the people below.
“Su Xue Er!”
“Lord Su!”
“Daughter!”
As they noticed it was her, everyone called out.
The attacks they prepared were stopped.
As she was a Lord herself, she wasn’t a threat.
The security personnel were glad that they noticed who she was soon enough that they didn’t hurt her.
If they had hurt a Lord during such an occasion, they would probably have no choice but to shoot themselves to repent.
“Xue Er!”
“My daughter, come”
Su Xue Er’s parents waved to her.
Su Xue Er silently walked over, looking at her parents and spoke sternly: “Mother, father, I seem to remember that I was the head of the Su family, why did you overpa.s.s my authority and represent the Su family?”
Su Xue Er’s father, Su Wan Xin’s expression was blank.
But he said nothing.
“Xue Er, since you’ve only just become a Lord, there’s still a lot that you don’t know about, so we wanted to help guide you” Madame Su answered stiffly.
“That’s right, Xue Er, you’re still young, your parents wouldn’t harm you, so let them help you” another Lord smiled and said.
The other Lords also nodded in agreement.
Su Xue Er suddenly reached her hand out to grab both her parent’s wrists.
They instantly froze on the spot.
Two black worm-like insects crawled out from the Su couple’s ears in fright, wanting to flee.
Pop!
They didn’t manage to escape and was reduced to a mist of blood in mid air.
“So that’s it huh…”
Su Xue Er’s last bit restraints were blown off.
Strands of white light began to sprout from her body like needles of a porcupine.
“Someone actually dared to put such a thing on my parents, how completely unexpected” Su Xue Er muttered.
