“Yang Kai has been demonified!”
Wen Zhi Shan shouted as he held a jade slip and used his Divine Sense to read the information within. He could not believe what he had just read. The jade slip was sent from Gao Xue Ting and it was branded with her Divine Sense, so it was certainly real. Moreover, Gao Xue Ting also explained the incident in detail on the jade slip, which made it difficult for Wen Zhi Shan to doubt it.
He was out of sorts for a long time before he ordered Chen Qian to head to Tiger Roar City and inquire from Gao Xue Ting face to face.
…
In another city, Yang Yan also held a jade slip in her hand, and frowned as she muttered, “What’s that fool doing? Why did he suddenly mess with Iron Blood and get himself demonified?”
Below her, a group of Emperor Realm Masters, who came to ask for reinforcements, did not dare to interrupt her after seeing the changes on her face. A moment later, Yang Yan summoned an Emperor Realm Master and asked him to travel to Tiger Roar City to inquire about the situation.
…
“Yang Kai has been demonified. What do you think of this?” In a great hall, Luan Feng asked Fan Wu and Cang Gou in a deep voice.
“When did this happen?” Cang Gou widened his eyes, startled.
“I just received the news,” Luan Feng replied with a solemn expression.
Fan Wu continued, “I, too, just received the news. It seems to have just happened yesterday.”
“Has the brat really fallen to the Demon path?” Cang Gou could hardly believe his ears.
Fan Wu replied, “Word came from Iron Blood Great Emperor himself. I don’t think it’s false.”
Cang Gou was dumbfounded and mumbled, “How could he fall to the Demon path? That’s impossible, are you sure it is not a mistake?”
Luan Feng and Fan Wu shook their heads slowly as the former remarked, “This matter is of great importance and can’t be a simple misunderstanding.”
After hearing it, Cang Gou sighed, “What a waste…”
Although Yang Kai often came to Ancient Wild Lands to trouble them, Cang Gou still admired him. He rarely saw such a talented and amazing Junior; however, now that he was demonified, it meant that Yang Kai would no longer have a future.
Luan Feng pressed on, “Whether he is demonified or not, he is still involved with the descendant of Heavens Order. Though there has still been no news about her ever since she entered the Blood Gate that day, years ago, perhaps she will appear soon. You know how important Yang Kai is to her, so who knows how she will react when she finds out he is in a bad situation?”
Fan Wu nodded solemnly, “What Lady Feng said is true. Then, in Lady Feng’s opinion, how should we deal with this?”
Luan Feng proposed, “Find his whereabouts as soon as possible and send him to the Ancient Wild Lands. By then, even if the descendant of Heaven’s Order returns, she won’t be able to make any complaints.”
Fan Wu nodded, “This is a good idea. Let’s do so.”
Luan Feng continued, “Then, I’ll get Ying Fei to go to Tiger Roar City to inquire about the situation and find out which direction Yang Kai fled.”
“Time is ticking. We need to act immediately!”
…
For a time, many came to Tiger Roar City from all over to inquire about the incident, turning it into quite the lively scene.
At the same time, as if it had wings, the news about Yang Kai’s falling to the Demon path spread all over the major cities in the Western Territory in just a few days. It also rapidly spread to the Southern, Eastern and Northern Territories. When those who knew Yang Kai learnt of the news, their first reaction was to take it as nonsense or just some made-up rumour.
But the rumour was spread in vivid detail like it was real. It also included details that Yang Kai was defeated by Iron Blood Great Emperor, and shamelessly kidnapped Lin Yun’er to get away in the end…
After this rumour was confirmed, the entire Star Boundary went into an uproar. No one expected that such a dazzling rising star would truly fall to the Demon path, or had cultivated the Heaven Devouring Battle Law!
Things often changed or were lost when rumours spread; therefore, as the news continued to proliferate, Yang Kai had gradually become the one who cultivated the Heaven Devouring Battle Law instead of his Embodiment.
Both falling to the Demon path and cultivating the Heaven Devouring Battle Law were intolerable to those of the Star Boundary. Yang Kai’s reputation had been completely tainted. In addition to the words of Iron Blood Great Emperor, many even rolled up their sleeves and secretly looked forward to finding Yang Kai to kill him. Their desire was to carry out a righteous act and eliminate danger while becoming heroes at the same time.
Although Yang Kai did not know the situation of the outside world, he could more or less guess, and he had long been prepared for it.
In the Small Sealed World, Yang Kai sat cross-legged in the medicine garden beside the Firmament Tree with a solemn expression.
Two Wood Spirits hovered in mid-air, hiding several tens metres away, looking at Yang Kai worriedly. They could not help him at the moment and were as anxious as ants on a hot wok.
The gold and silver sealing power of the Firmament Tree poured into Yang Kai’s body slowly under his guidance, and into his dantian to re-seal the Ancient Demon Qi.
Earlier, Yang Kai used the Ancient Demon Qi to feign being demonified and falling to the Demon path in perfect cooperation with Iron Blood Great Emperor. But now, he realized that things had become a little troublesome.
Ever since he absorbed this Ancient Demon Qi outside Maplewood City, Yang Kai did not have a permanent way to deal with it. He could only seal it with the power of the Firmament Tree.
However, after several unsealings, the Ancient Demon Qi had become more and more powerful. It seemed to have become purer and also more and more difficult to control.
The Ancient Demon Qi sealed in his dantian was like a living creature that grew more powerful after every unsealing, which made it more difficult for Yang Kai to seal it back again, requiring more sealing power each time.
Yang Kai discovered this long ago; however, the situation had become much more serious now, and Yang Kai was no longer certain he could seal the Demon Qi.
[Will the false rumours really come true?] Yang Kai did not know whether to laugh or cry. It would be a great loss if he was really demonified like this.
By constraining his mind and getting rid of miscellaneous thoughts, Yang Kai controlled the sealing power of the Firmament Tree to suppress the Ancient Demon Qi, little by little, back into his dantian.
As time passed, the gold and silver light of the Firmament Tree became dimmer and dimmer, almost looking like it would be completely depleted in the next moment; however, the Ancient Demon Qi on Yang Kai’s body still showed no sign of reducing, and was trembling and churning menacingly.
[Not good…]
Yang Kai was worried, but there was nothing he could do.
Not far away, Mu Zhu and Mu Na obviously noticed the terrible situation, and after exchanging looks, they seemed to have made up their mind and flew over to Yang Kai.
Aware of their movements, Yang Kai opened his eyes to look at them, shouting, “Don’t come closer.”
Mu Zhu and Mu Na turned a deaf ear to him though as their small bodies landed on the branches of the Firmament Tree and they both quickly performed a series of complex hand seals. Subsequently, a strange resonance was formed between the two Wood Spirits and the Firmament Tree.
The radiance of the Firmament Tree that was gradually fading earlier suddenly burst into a brilliant halo of gold and silver light, causing its sealing power to become extremely vigorous.
Yang Kai was stunned but wasted no time as he hurriedly guided the sealing power.
The trembling Ancient Demon Qi on the surface of his body was suppressed little by little, and its evil and violent aura gradually disappeared.
After quite some time, there was no longer any Ancient Demon Qi visible as it had all been suppressed into Yang Kai’s dantian, allowing his body to return to its regular state, even feeling more comfortable than ever before.
Mu Zhu and Mu Na were drenched in sweat and panting at this moment. It was obvious that both of them had just performed a Secret Technique of the Wood Spirit Clan, which took a great toll on them.
“Are both of you alright?” Yang Kai opened his eyes and asked.
The two Wood Spirits shook their heads together, and Mu Zhu glanced to the side, “We are fine, but the Firmament Tree…”
Yang Kai followed her gaze and found that the Firmament Tree was on the verge of death. Its branches were drooping and it seemed shrivelled and dying. The gold and silver tints that should have existed were now gone, and all that remained was a withered husk.
Mu Na explained, “We stimulated its vitality forcefully, which caused it great damage.”
Yang Kai frowned, “Will it die?”
Mu Zhu shook her head, “No, the Firmament Tree is extremely tenacious; furthermore, there is an endless stream of vitality from the Immortal Tree here, so it’s impossible for it to die that easily. But we have no idea how long it will take to fully recover. Master, don’t remove the Demon Qi seal in the future. Without the power of the Firmament Tree, you won’t be able to seal it again.”
Yang Kai nodded solemnly, “Noted.”
The price that he paid for this plan was enormous. Not only was his reputation destroyed, but he had also lost one of his most powerful trump cards. Nevertheless, what was done could not be undone, and he could only move forward.
Yang Kai sent the two Wood Spirits to take a rest while he adjusted his breathing for a while to make sure that there was nothing off about his condition. Only after a thorough inspection did Yang Kai exit the Small Sealed World and identify his location before rushing off in a certain direction.
…
In the sky, a figure passed by at an incredibly fast speed. From time to time, it stopped to examine the surroundings before setting off again.
Tracking him, this person was able to follow the trail of Yang Kai’s departure. It was unknown how this person found Yang Kai’s traces as the latter had fled into the Southern Swamp and had spent a few days recovering. Afterwards, he used his Space Divine Ability many times to travel quite a distance. It was extremely difficult to track him down even for a Great Emperor.
But this person was able to track him without any difficulty.
The figure stopped again, and under the hazy moonlight, a graceful and curvy body was revealed, her hair flying in the wind. Surprisingly, it was actually a charming woman.
Yu Ru Meng!
Ever since Yang Kai escaped from Tiger Roar City, she had also disappeared. Gao Xue Ting and the others searched for her for several days but to no avail. No one knew where she had gone off to.
At the moment, Yu Ru Meng’s beautiful eyes were glinting with a quaint divine light, like a beast stalking its prey, full of excitement. From time to time, she stuck out her scarlet tongue and licked her red lips, giving off a wild sense of seduction.
She stood in the sky, her hair flying in the night breeze. Suddenly, she turned around, stared in one direction, giggled, and mumbled to herself, “Husband, I’m coming for you! You can’t run!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, her body turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the sky in the blink of an eye.
There was just dead silence in the wilderness, as even the insects hiding in the soil seemed to be frightened and decided to stay quiet the whole night.
An He City, located on the border of the Southern and Western Territories, was a small town with a population of only a few hundred thousand. There was no decent Master in the city and even the City Lord was only a First-Order Dao Source Realm cultivator.
Such a city was almost considered to be insignificant in Star Boundary.
The population in the city was originally bigger, but with the war between the two worlds, and because An He City was located at the border of the Southern Territory, most of the residents in the city have fled to the depths of the Southern Territory in fear that the Demon Race would attack. Currently, the population had already sharply dropped by more than half.
However, whether it was turbulent times or a thriving era, there was one field that would never cease, prostitution.
An He City was not big, but it had its fair share of brothels.
The largest one was Springbreeze Drizzle House. Perhaps exactly because they were in turbulent times, the indulgence in a wanton life had become of even greater importance. So, even though the population of An He City had been reduced by more than half, the business of Springbreeze Drizzle House was better than usual. Pimps and Procuresses kept welcoming and sending customers off, and the makeup-clad girls smiled happily, soliciting benefactors enthusiastically with their alluring voices.
The building was luxuriously decorated, and the vivid murals filled Springbreeze Drizzle House with a seductive aura. The main hall was filled with tables seated with guests who cheered their cups with the company of loosely dressed girls, their hands running up and down their bodies from time to time, causing strings of giggles to ring throughout the room. Meanwhile, bursts of gasps and moans could be heard from behind the doors of the closed wings.
There was a bang and a person suddenly flew out of a room on the second floor. He fell heavily on the first floor, rolled over a few times, and laid motionless.
The noisy hall fell into a weird silence at this moment, and everyone turned their heads in the direction of the source of the commotion.
Lying motionless on the ground was a dirty and drunken young man with a stubbled face. It was possible that he was dead. Fights often happened in the brothels, so the guests here were not surprised and were indifferent to the scene. In fact, they all looked at the young man on the ground with disgust.
There were only a few reasons for this to happen. It was either he was beaten up by someone in a dispute or he had no money to pay after using the services in the brothel. Either reason was not worthy of sympathy.
The guests were indifferent, but Mama Song, who greeted the guests at the door, was infuriated and yelled at a certain man, who wore a black outfit, on the second floor, “Waste! You have to pay for the broken tables and chairs!”
Mama Song was an old procuress in Springbreeze Drizzle House. Her cultivation was not high and she was probably beautiful when she was young. However, age had put her a little out of shape. Although she was still charming in her own way, she could no longer take up guests, and could only be an usher, welcoming and sending off guests.
Seeing Mama Song so upset, the man dressed in black nimble garments who knocked down the youth on the second floor smiled and said, “Calm down, Mama. This boy is the one who’s at fault.”
“What happened?” Mama Song walked to the young man with her hands on her waist and gave him a kick, but there was no reaction. She then blurted in shock, “Don’t tell me he’s dead.”
The man in nimble garments replied, “I don’t think so. He cultivates, and I didn’t exert much of my strength. How could he be dead?”
At this moment, a young woman covered in only a piece of fabric came out of the room. The half translucent fabric barely covered her alluring curves, and the men below could not help giving her a second look.
The woman leaned against the railing and looked down, pouting, “He deserves to be beaten to death.”
She complained to Mama Song coquettishly, “Mama, you have to stand up for your girl. This guy has been drinking with me for several days and doesn’t even have money to pay for it.”
“No money?” Mama Song raised her eyebrows with an angry expression on her face, “How dare he visit a brothel without any money. Who is this bastard?”
“That’s right!” The woman on the second floor also looked disgusted, “He looked like an extraordinary, handsome young man, and I thought he was a rich Young Lord, but how could I have known he was just a poor brat. I have suffered a huge loss.”
Mama Song snorted coldly and waved, “Search him to see if there is anything valuable on him.”
When the words fell, two men dressed like pimps walked over to search the young man.
After a while, both of them looked up and shook their heads, “Nothing.”
“Damn it!” Mama Song gritted her pristine teeth, “Drag him down, then chop him up and turn him into fertilizer.”
The two men did not hesitate at all as they began dragging the young man out.
A guest nearby laughed and commented, “Mama Song, aren’t you too cruel? It’s only a few days’ worth of wine, are you actually going to chop him up for something so small?”
Mama Song answered with a cold face, “Are you going to pay for him? If you are willing to pay for him, I will let him go.”
The customer chuckled, “Forget I said anything.”
Mama Song glared at him, then looked at the young man. After staring for a moment though, she seemed surprised, and raised her hand, “Wait!”
The two men stopped their feet immediately and turned to look at her, not knowing what she was going to do.
Mama Xu stepped forward and fanned her hand in front of her nose with a frown, unable to stand the stench of the alcohol, “Is he really still alive?”
The two looked at each other and one of them touched the young man’s chest, while the other placed a finger under his nose to check for any signs of breathing; and then both of them nodded in unison, “He’s still alive.”
Mama Song raised her brow, circled around the youth, then stopped in front of him. She took out a silk handkerchief and grabbed his chin with it, examining his face for a while before her eyes suddenly lit up, “Take him down and give him a bath, then send him to my room.”
The two men were dumbfounded.
“Hurry up!” Mama Song glared at them.
The two did not dare to hesitate and immediately heeded her commands.
The guest who interjected before laughed and asked, “Don’t tell me Mama has her eyes on that brat.”
Mama Song retorted, “So what? This Madam likes him.”
The crowd was in an instant uproar. They did not expect her to admit it and some were a little surprised, while others made fun of Mama Song for not having any standards, even being attracted to a rotten brat.
Mama Song was obviously used to such a scene and took no effort to handle the situation. She flirted with the guests heartily for a while, but deep down, she was feeling restless. She had been in the brothel for more than a hundred years, welcoming and sending away guests every day, and had developed a keen eye for people. Although the young man was a little sloppy and messy, she could tell with a little grooming, he had the potential to be an extraordinary man. She had no right to choose her clients in her younger days, and she had to serve them with all her heart even when they were old or ugly. Now, as a Mama, she naturally got to do as she pleased.
Tonight was her lucky night!
After entertaining the guests for a while, Mama Song swayed her hips up towards the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was the highest floor of Springbreeze Drizzle Building and there were only a few rooms here, one of which belonged to her.
Pushing the door open, she walked in and turned around to close it. With an expectant smile on her face, Mama Song bit her red lips as she walked towards the bed slowly with lust-filled eyes. As expected, the young man was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Taking a closer look under the soft light, Mama Song broke into a smile.
Her vision was indeed excellent. With just a little freshening and dressing, this young man really appeared to have a noble bearing. Greatly drawn by his appearance, she stretched out a hand and gently caressed the young man’s chest. Her hands trembled at the feel of his steady and sturdy heartbeat, and her legs even squeezed together involuntarily.
Covering her smile with a hand, she got up and went to the side of the table, mixed a bowl of sobering medicine, and returned to the bedside. She lifted the young man up to lean on her and fed the medicine down his throat.
Putting down the bowl, she sat on the side of the bed and waited quietly.
She waited for a long time, but nothing happened.
Mama Song frowned. She knew something was not right, the sobering medicine she used was powerful and it should have worked by now. [Why is this guy still not awake? Did he drink too much the last few days?]
Thinking so, she mixed another bowl of sobering medicine and downed it into the youth.
She waited for a while again, but still, there was no movement.
Mama Song’s face sank, and her good mood got completely ruined. In a rage, she poured the remaining sober medicine into a pot and poured it into the youth’s mouth.
After another hour, there was still no response; the young man on the bed was still snoring like a dead pig.
Mama Song ground her teeth, turned around, and mounted the bed.
She did not care if he was sleeping like a pig or not, it’s not like she hadn’t taken things like this into her own hands before.
She reached out and stripped herself completely naked, revealing her porcelain white body. Although her figure was a little bit loose here and there from age, it could be seen that Mama Song definitely had the right to boast when she was younger. She had snow-white skin, her peaks stood tall and proud, her legs were slender, and her bottom was still perky. The only issue was there was a bit of swell on her belly now.
After she finished, she began to strip the clothes off the young man. There were not many pieces, but it was unexpectedly troublesome because the young man did not cooperate. He would flail his legs and arms from time to time, disrupting her, and it took a long time to take off just his coat.
Mama Song gritted her teeth and decided to drop all reservations.
Who would have known that Yang Kai, who was the one on the bed, was just as desperate!
He had never thought that there would come a day that he would actually be used by a woman, especially by such a woman in a brothel. If he knew this would happen, he would never have come here!
In this situation, it was not a good idea for him to suddenly wake up, so he could only act according to the circumstance.
After a fierce entanglement, Yang Kai was finally stripped naked by Mama Song.
“Oh, finally!” Mama Song was sweaty but knowing that good things were about to happen, she finally let out a sigh of relief. With a hop, she got on top of Yang Kai and lifted her body before sliding down slowly with a look of expectation appearing on her face.
However, at that exact moment, a small, cold hand materialized behind her and grabbed her neck.
Shock instantly etched on Mama Song’s beautiful face as she angrily shouted, “Who!?”
Mama Song had no clue who was standing behind her, but with just a little bit of force from the small, cold hand, her neck cracked and her body limply slumped to the floor, her vitality extinguished in an instant.
Standing beside the bed, Yu Ru Meng took out a silk cloth to wipe her hands and looked at the body on the ground with disgust, “How dare you touch this Queen’s man?”
Tossing the silk cloth that she used to wipe her hands, Yu Ru Meng walked to the bedside and lowered her head to look at Yang Kai, who was lying on the bed, with a livid expression.
Fortunately, she came in time. If she was just a step later, would this shameless couple not have started their business? She knew Yang Kai had several wives, but those women were with him before she met him, so she could not help it. But who was this procuress in the brothel? She was not an innocent girl in any way shape or form and since Yu Ru Meng had already used her Heart Seal Secret Technique on Yang Kai, she could not be separated from him for the rest of her life. As such, she would never allow Yang Kai to be defiled by such a dirty woman.
She fumed at the thought of it and glared at Yang Kai as she bellowed, “Get up!”
Under the surge of her Divine Sense, her voice carried enough power to even damage one’s Soul.
Yang Kai frowned before his eyelids quivered and slowly opened.
When their eyes met, Yu Ru Meng’s boiling anger immediately ceased.
Because she felt something was wrong with the man in front of her. His dusky eyes were filled with despair greater than death, as if all the light in this world had been extinguished.
She had not known Yang Kai for a long time, but this man has always been in high spirits. No matter where he was, he was the centre of the world; however, at this moment, he looked exhausted and haggard like a bird knocked out of the clouds that had fallen into the mud.
The truth was indeed not far from this though. He, who was the brightest star in the Star Boundary, had degraded to a notorious Demon, and one of the Great Emperors had issued an order to kill him on sight. Thus, he had truly fallen to his lowest point.
Yu Ru Meng sighed, “Why?”
Yang Kai did not respond as he just stared at her with dim, dispirited eyes.
Yu Ru Meng lowered herself and sat on the side of the bed, stretched out her jade hand to caress Yang Kai’s cheek, and softly spoke, “Even if everyone abandons you, you still have me.”
A vague light flashed across Yang Kai’s empty eyes as they moved slightly.
Yu Ru Meng revealed a gentle smile. She wanted to imprint the smile into the deepest part of Yang Kai’s heart and turn it into a driving force for him to stay strong.
The next moment, Yang Kai suddenly became wild. He grabbed her and flipped over so she was trapped under his body. He placed his hand on her towering bosoms and kneaded her ruthlessly. He did not intend to be gentle with her and stretched out his other hand to grab her belt, ripping it off directly. He proceeded to kiss Yu Ru Meng’s lips unscrupulously with his mouth which still stank of alcohol.
“Hmm…” Yu Ru Meng moaned and struggled constantly, but how could she shake him off? Her entire body was pressed tight beneath him, making it impossible to move at all.
Feeling that her clothes were being stripped layer by layer, Yu Ru Meng immediately panicked and twisted her head aside, “Stop! You’re hurting me!”
Yang Kai turned a deaf ear to her cries as the expression on his face only became more ferocious and horrifying. Hot steam puffed out of his nostrils. It was as if the person he was pressed against was not Yu Ru Meng but the greatest enemy of his life and he could not wait to devour her bones, drink her blood, and feast on her flesh.
How could Yu Ru Meng allow him to continue to do so though? It was normal for men and women to be intimate in bed when they were deeply in love and had mutual consent, but how would Yu Ru Meng willingly hand over her body in this situation?
Failing to shake him off, Yu Ru Meng raised her hand and slapped Yang Kai.
With a crisp snap, Yang Kai’s head was turned to the side, and his violent and wanton actions came to a sudden halt.
Yu Ru Meng gasped and looked at Yang Kai coldly, “You forced me to do this!”
Yang Kai did not move, as if he was struck by a Binding Secret Technique.
Yu Ru Meng frowned, and reached out to touch Yang Kai’s slapped cheek, and tried her best to speak in a gentle tone, “I didn’t want to slap you, but please wake up. Do you know what you’re doing?”
Yang Kai did not seem to be interested in answering, or maybe he was too lazy to reply to her. He completely ignored her, slowly crawled away from her, wrapped himself with a blanket, and then sat at the table. He picked up a half-finished bottle of wine on the table and poured it into his mouth with his head lifted high.
Behind him, Yu Ru Meng quickly put on a new set of clothes. Once she was dressed, she approached Yang Kai who had already downed several bottles.
Yu Ru Meng sat down quietly, looked at him and whispered, “Stop.”
As expected, Yang Kai still did not respond. After persuading several times in succession, Yu Ru Meng grabbed the bottle from Yang Kai’s hand and retorted with her teeth gritted, “I told you to stop drinking.”
“Give it to me!” Yang Kai turned around and looked at her with a darkened face, his eyes filled with clear murderous intent.
Yu Ru Meng raised her chin, “What? Do you want to kill me? Do it if you want to!”
While saying so, she stretched out her neck to Yang Kai, looking as if she would not resist any actions from him at all.
A hint of struggle could be seen in Yang Kai’s eyes, but in the end, he did not do it. He hugged his head in pain and remarked in an astringent voice, “I just want to get drunk. Why are you trying to stop me?”
“I know you are not willing to continue like this,” Yu Ru Meng smiled. She had no idea what she was delighted about, but she felt a little glad.
“Leave. Don’t get close to me. I don’t know when I will turn back into a Demon.” Yang Kai waved his hand.
Yu Ru Meng did not leave, however, and instead came even closer and snuggled up beside him, pressing her towering chest onto his arm as she whispered, “I won’t leave, you’re my man. I’ll go wherever you go.”
Yang Kai pushed her away and bitterly declared, “You saw what happened in Tiger Roar City. Stop getting close to me. Live well in the future and find someone else good to marry.”
Yu Ru Meng tilted her head and asked with a grin, “What kind of person do you want me to marry?”
“Someone who is not like me,” Yang Kai sneered at himself.
Yu Ru Meng tilted her head, “But the only one I love is you. What should I do?”
Yang Kai looked at her blankly and stated, “You must be blind then.”
Yu Ru Meng was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled, trembling in joy for a while.
Suddenly, she got up, took Yang Kai’s hand and pulled him up.
“What are you doing?” Yang Kai questioned weakly, moving just like a walking corpse.
“Didn’t you want to drink? I’ll accompany you.” Yu Ru Meng pushed her Emperor Qi and at the same time, embraced Yang Kai and dashed out.
The hall on the first floor was still lively at that time, but in a flash, Yu Ru Meng and Yang Kai appeared in the centre of the hall. Yu Ru Meng looked around for a moment before she walked straight to the largest table in the centre. When she reached the side of the table, she shouted at the people around the table, “Get out!”
There were seven guests and seven girls at this table, all of them drinking and having fun, so they were stunned when they were suddenly yelled at.
However, when they looked up, the seven guests immediately widened their eyes and gasped at Yu Ru Meng covetously. An He City was just a small place in a remote region. Even though Springbreeze Drizzle House was the largest brothel, the quality and beauty of the girls here were mediocre at best. How could these girls ever be compared to an outstanding beauty like Yu Ru Meng? Whether it was her body shape, face, or temperament, few women in the entire Star Boundary could be compared to Yu Ru Meng.
In comparison, the girls in their arms felt like country hicks while the woman in front of them was a majestic goddess. If they could spend a single evening with her, death would be a small price to pay.
A big-bellied man squinted at Yu Ru Meng in lust and guffawed, “Why didn’t I know that you have such a beautiful girl here?” After saying so, he got up to grab Yu Ru Meng.
By how he behaved, it seemed that he wanted to replace the woman who was accompanying him.
But before he could even half lift his hand, his whole arm abruptly exploded into blood mist.
The man was confused for a moment, but soon the pain reached him and he started to scream shrilly.
Suddenly, his cry stopped, and his entire body exploded.
The faces of the other people at the table changed drastically. They immediately woke up from their drunken state, got up together, and glared at Yu Ru Meng. The few girls screamed, their beautiful faces turned pale in fright.
“How dare you kill someone here!?” A man yelled angrily. Although he did not see how his companion died, it was obviously due to this exceptionally beautiful woman before them. As he shouted, he summoned a sword and raised his hand in an attempt to slash her.
Yu Ru Meng just coldly stared at him as a quaint divine light flashed across her eyes.
The man instantly froze, seemingly in a daze, before the next moment he stabbed the longsword in his hand into his own chest.
*Pu…*
Blood splashed everywhere and the man limply fell to the ground; however, even as he lay there dead, a satisfied smile filled his face.
Such an unbelievable scene was truly terrifying.
The whole hall went silent and the remaining men gulped. It was only then that they realized the woman in front of them had an extremely high cultivation; otherwise, she would not have been able to kill someone without them even realizing how she did it.
“Scram!” Yu Ru Meng gently moved her red lips, but the words she spat out were as cold as ice.
It was as though everyone had been released from their bindings suddenly and quickly turned around to run. Not only did the people at the table run, but even those in the hall had turned to flee. The scene turned into a mess.
Yu Ru Meng continued, “Bring all the wine you have.”
After giving her command, she waved her hand to clean the table and sat down with Yang Kai.
Spring Breeze Drizzle House was now empty of all guests except Yang Kai and Yu Ru Meng who were now sitting opposite to each other. The large table was filled with wine bottles as several men working for Springbreeze Drizzle House had obediently and respectfully emptied the wine cellar for them.
Yang Kai grabbed one bottle after another and kept filling his mouth with wine. It was as though his stomach was a bottomless hole that could hold an unlimited amount of it.
Yu Ru Meng sat opposite to him and watched him quietly. After he emptied a bottle, she would hand him another without saying a word.
Ten bottles, fifty bottles, one hundred, two hundred …
After some time, Yang Kai suddenly let out a long roar and threw the wine bottle out of his hand.
His roar sounded like thunder, making the whole An He City tremble.
The roar only fell silent after a long time while Yang Kai looked at Yu Ru Meng, his lips twitching. With a miserable look on his face, he shouted, “I can’t get drunk!”
“Then just continue drinking. Drink until you get drunk.” Yu Ru Meng threw another bottle of wine at him, but Yang Kai did not catch it, and the wine bottle fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Yu Ru Meng pondered for a moment and continued, “Wait here.”
After that, she turned around and flew out of the room. Yang Kai did not know what she was going to do.
But soon, a commotion arose in the city, obviously due to Yu Ru Meng.
An hour later, Yu Ru Meng returned to the hall and gave Yang Kai a small smile. She turned around to face the door of the hall and clapped her hands, “Come in.”
Yang Kai looked up and was stunned.
A group of women walked in slowly from the outside. They had various styles of beauty, all of them were quite alluring. They were different from those makeup-clad girls in Springbreeze Drizzle House and it could be seen that they were all women from respectable families.
Fear was etched on each of these women’s faces, and some even had tears streaming down their faces; however, under Yu Ru Meng’s despotic power, they had to be obedient.
Among the thirty to forty women, the youngest looked only about thirteen years old, while the oldest looked about twenty-five or twenty-six. Under the instructions of Yu Ru Meng, they lined up and stood timidly in front of Yang Kai. Some occasionally looked up at him before quickly lowering their heads.
[What the Hell?] Yang Kai was puzzled, but he did not reveal any unusual expressions on his face, keeping his depressed look as though he could not wait for his life to end for good.
Yu Ru Meng smiled at Yang Kai and explained, “These are the most beautiful women in the city. Don’t worry, they are all virgins, innocent and pure. Which one do you like?”
Yang Kai just stood still, like a wooden statue.
Yu Ru Meng walked up to a teenage girl and brought her to Yang Kai, “How about this one? She’s still in early puberty but is already such a beauty at such a young age. Men should like this type very much. If I was a man, I would be tempted. The night would be wonderful when spent with her.”
The girl, who was already frightened after being caught by Yu Ru Meng, was even more terrified and was almost in tears after hearing Yu Ru Meng’s remark.
Seeing that Yang Kai was still not responding, Yu Ru Meng waved her hand to the girl, and let her hurry back to her position. Then, she brought a seventeen-year-old girl closer and promoted her eagerly to Yang Kai.
After several attempts with different girls, Yang Kai still remained silent.
Yu Ru Meng dragged another woman over, this one about twenty-four to twenty-five years old. She was one of the most gorgeous among them and her figure was curvy and enchanting. Her eyes trembled as she was introduced by Yu Ru Meng, “This one is good too. Although she is married, her husband seems to have died from sickness on the wedding day, so she is now a widow, yet still a virgin. Are you interested?”
“Enough!” Yang Kai coldly glared at Yu Ru Meng.
Yu Ru Meng continued, “You can take all of them if you want.”
“I said enough!”
Yu Ru Meng sighed, “You just want to vent your anger by getting drunk, but how can you get drunk with these ordinary drinks? Right now, women should be the same as wine to you. Since you can’t get drunk by drinking, then you should try it through women.”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head ruefully, grabbed a wine bottle on the table, and stumbled out.
Yu Ru Meng turned around and looked at his back. After a moment, she quickly followed him.
In the hall, the several dozen women waited with fright for a long time and only after making sure that the strange man and woman would not come back, they hurriedly ran out. After surviving this disaster, the young women could not bear it anymore and burst into tears.
This night was a nightmare for them. Fortunately, the man did not seem interested in them at all; otherwise, all of them may have been violated.
…
“Why are you following me?” Yang Kai coldly glanced back at Yu Ru Meng, “You won’t get any benefit from following me.”
Yu Ru Meng gently smiled, “I already said, you are my man. I will naturally go wherever you go. You can’t get rid of me.”
“Do you know what my situation is now?”
Yu Ru Meng answered, “You were demonized in that battle at Tiger Roar City. I’m afraid that news of you falling to the Demon path has already spread all over the Star Boundary. Right now, everyone should be hunting you down. You’re a rat scurrying through the streets.”
“Since you already know, why are you still so stubborn? Just remove the Heart Seal Secret Technique and leave. From now on, you and I have no relations, don’t get involved with me.”
“I won’t leave!” Yu Ru Meng came forward and hooked her arms around Yang Kai’s.
“Why?” Yang Kai shook his head.
Yu Ru Meng answered, “A woman follows her man no matter what his lot is. Even if you will need to face immense dangers and difficulties, I will face them with you.”
Yang Kai’s cold eyes instantly softened, as if his mind had been greatly impacted. He looked at her affectionately and stroked her cheek, “Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
Yu Ru Meng firmly shook her head, “I won’t turn back!”
Yang Kai licked his dry lips and pulled Yu Ru Meng into his arms. He hugged so hard as if he was trying to melt her entire body into his own.
“Then I have no regrets in my life!” He deeply sighed.
Yu Ru Meng slightly lifted her head. The corners of her eyes were curved into crescent moons that shone with a proud light. She knew that this was the best timing to win one’s heart, and facts had proven it to be true.
Although she was already inseparable from Yang Kai due to the Heart Seal Secret Technique, it was still just a Secret Technique in the end, how could it be compared to true feelings? With both hands around Yang Kai’s neck, she whispered in his ear, “I already said, even if the whole world abandons you, you still have me!”
Yang Kai suddenly released her from his hug and put both his hands on her shoulders, his eyes beaming in excitement, “Yu Ru Meng, let’s live in seclusion.”
Yu Ru Meng’s brow twitched at Yang Kai’s sudden drastic change in topic, but she asked calmly, “Seclusion?”
Yang Kai gave a deep nod, “Let’s live in seclusion in the mountains somewhere. We don’t have to care about anything in the world; it will just be the two of us. I, as the man, will farm and you as the woman, will weave. We can have a few children and live a carefree life. All the matters of the Star Boundary and Demon Realm have nothing to do with us!”
[Have… a few children?] Yu Ru Meng was stunned as she secretly wailed in her heart. She did not expect that her tenderness did not just move Yang Kai’s heart, but also gave birth to such an idea in his mind. If he really wanted to do so, where would the fun be?
Yu Ru Meng questioned, “What about your other wives?”
Yang Kai’s face darkened as he replied in a deep voice, “I only know that at this moment, you are with me, not them.”
He seemed to not even care about his other wives. It seemed that the incident in Tiger Roar City had caused him an impact so great that it had changed his mentality. Perhaps it could also have something to do with his temporary demonification, which made his thoughts become so extreme.
While she was pondering this, Yang Kai described what their beautiful life would be like after living in seclusion, even the appearance of their residence. He even started to name their future children…
[Aren’t you thinking too far ahead!?] Yu Ru Meng wanted to spit on his face, but she knew that if she refused him at this time, it would only make the situation worse, and all her previous efforts would be wasted.
Finally, Yang Kai clutched her shoulders and concluded passionately, “So, let’s live in seclusion!”
Yu Ru Meng was at her wits’ end, so she could only brace herself and answer, “Good, we will live in seclusion!”
After receiving confirmation, Yang Kai wasted no time, as if his motivation to live had been rekindled. With Yu Ru Meng in his arms, he began to look for a suitable place.
Within a few days, the two settled down in the depths of an unnamed mountain. A brand-new wooden house was built on a flat ground near the peak, and outside the house, Yang Kai opened up a few plots for farming, planted some unknown seeds, and started working happily there with a hoe.
Yu Ru Meng stood at the door of the wooden house, dressed in coarse clothes with a scarf wrapped around her head, looking exactly like a peasant woman.
Such attire did not deduct any of Yu Ru Meng’s beauty and instead added a different kind of charm to her.
It was just that… Yu Ru Meng did not look at a mirror for several days, for fear of being disgusted with herself.
During his work, Yang Kai would look up at her from time to time, and Yu Ru Meng would return his gaze with a forced smile every time. Occasionally, she would send Yang Kai some water and wipe the sweat off his face. She had turned into a demure young woman who was beautiful inside and out, which made Yang Kai feel blessed to the point where he kept praising her constantly.
At night, they would hug each other to sleep, but there was nothing other than that. Yang Kai attempted to cross the line several times, but Yu Ru Meng knew that his current state was unstable, so she did not agree to give herself to him under the circumstances.
Their lives were simple and plain for more than ten days, but Yang Kai enjoyed himself. It seemed that he really loved this life and was willing to continue it until he died.
Yu Ru Meng seemed to be notably cooperative and did not show any unusual reaction, but she actually felt dreadfully helpless in her heart.
One day, Yang Kai was sitting at the door, weaving a basket from bamboo. Yu Ru Meng was keeping him company by chatting and laughing with him when suddenly, Yang Kai stopped his movements and looked up in a certain direction.
Yu Ru Meng asked, “What happened?”
“Shh!” Yang Kai put a finger to his lips with a vigilant look, and quietly spread his Divine Sense.
His actions secretly elated Yu Ru Meng. She did not expect her salvation would arrive just when she was worried that she could not break free from this boring life. She secretly prayed that things would happen as she wished.
A moment later, Yang Kai sighed and put down the semi-finished basket in his hand, clapped his hands together, and stood up with lowered eyes, “Since you’re already here, come out and show yourself.”
Yu Ru Meng was surprised that she did not notice someone’s arrival. In this situation, either Yang Kai’s was wrong, or the other person’s cultivation was higher than her own; otherwise, she would never have been caught unaware.
But Yang Kai couldn’t have sensed wrongly, so the only explanation was that someone had really come.
Space rippled, and a figure emerged slowly.
Yang Kai looked up at him, but his gaze was a little evasive as if he was ashamed. Nevertheless, he finally cupped his fists in respect, “Temple Master Wen.”
The one who appeared before his eyes was the Temple Master of Azure Sun Temple, Wen Zi Shan.
Wen Zi Shan had a sorrowful expression on his face as he sighed, “I heard everything. Are you feeling better now?”
Yang Kai replied, “Many thanks, Temple Master Wen, for your concern, I have fortunately recovered.”
Wen Zi Shan said, “Demonification is an absolute taboo. Senior Iron Blood said that you have a Demon in your heart, and if it is not eliminated, even if it’s not harmful now, it will become a major disaster in the future.”
“Then is Temple Master Wen here to take me back?” Yang Kai’s eyes drooped, and his voice suddenly became extremely calm, but the hostile spirit growing in him was apparent.
Wen Zi Shan answered, “Relax, I don’t want to be your enemy, I just want to talk to you properly.”
Yang Kai said plainly, “This disciple will listen carefully.”
Wen Zi Shan nodded gently and began, “Although you weren’t raised by my Azure Sun Temple, you have forged various connections with my temple ever since you were a mere Dao Source Realm Junior. It would not be wrong to say that this King watched you grow up. You could have also become a disciple of my Azure Sun Temple if you ever requested it. Unfortunately, my temple didn’t have this blessing, and we let slip a great talent.”
Yang Kai laughed in embarrassment, “Temple Master Wen is too polite.”
Wen Zi Shan continued, “Fortunately, you became a High-Rank Guest Elder of my temple. Since you’re an Elder of my temple, matters concerning you will be matters concerning this Wen, and it is also matters concerning the temple. Yang Kai, consider High Heaven Palace, consider your friends and relatives, and consider the ones who care about you. Come back with me.”
Yang Kai raised his eyes, “Temple Master is here to capture me after all.”
Wen Zi Shan frowned, “How can this be the same as capturing you? If this Wen came to capture you, I wouldn’t be speaking to you like this. If you come back with me, this Wen promises that no one will hurt you, but I will need your cooperation to eliminate the Demon in your heart.”
“How can the Demon be eliminated after it is formed?” Yang Kai shook his head slowly.
Wen Zi Shan said deeply, “A strong person wins over others, but true strength comes from conquering oneself. Yang Kai, stop going astray.”
“I went astray?” Yang Kai laughed, his eyes turned cold, “Temple Master, since you have heard ‘everything’, do you know what happened?”
Wen Zi Shan hesitated for a moment, and sighed, “Senior Iron Blood might have crossed the line, but you shouldn’t have disobeyed him.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became ferocious, “Based on what Temple Master said, this Junior should have surrendered Shi Huo willingly to Iron Blood just because he wanted me to, without any resistance?”
Wen Zi Shan persuaded earnestly, “There is always a solution to any conflict.”
Yang Kai sneered, “Shi Huo is one of my most important partners. He has made great contributions to my growth, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is my family. In the confrontation with the Demon Race, he has killed countless enemies, but he is not allowed to live just because he cultivated the Heaven Devouring Battle Law? Is this world of billions of free cultivators, or the world of Iron Blood? Just his contributions to the war should have been enough to convince Iron Blood to spare him!” After a pause, Yang Kai stared at Wen Zi Shan sharply, “Temple Master will never understand, so this Junior will ask boldly. If Iron Blood wanted to cripple Senior Sister Gao’s cultivation, what would Temple Master do?”
Wen Zi Shan frowned, “You are bringing up irrelevant subjects.”
Yang Kai sneered, “To me, Shi Huo holds equal weight in my heart as Senior Sister Gao does to Temple Master’s.”
Wen Zi Shan fell silent, unable to come up with a response.
Yang Kai let out a long sigh, “Temple Master, I don’t know how you found me, but I have decided to live in seclusion with Qing’er here. From now on, I will shut myself away from the world. I also ask Temple Master to leave now for the sake of our past relationship. From now on, Yang Kai and Li Shi Qing no longer exist in the Star Boundary.”
Wen Zi Shan was shocked, and he looked at Yang Kai in amazement, “You want to live in seclusion here?”
“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded.
Wen Zi Shan started, “Then what about High Heaven Palace… “
“How is that my problem?” Yang Kai interrupted him.
Yang Kai’s words shocked Wen Zi Shan, and he could not speak for a long time. In the end, he smiled wryly, “There is indeed a Demon growing in your heart.”
“Temple Master, do you insist on capturing me?” Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a dangerous light.
Wen Zi Shan sighed, “Since you truly have a Demon in your heart, this Temple Master cannot just sit back and watch.”
Yang Kai gritted his teeth, “This is my business, how does it concern you? Why do you have to keep pushing me into a corner? I have contributed greatly to the Star Boundary, can you not just ignore me for the sake of my previous efforts?”
Wen Zi Shan looked at him sadly as he shook his head, “It is precisely because of your contribution to the Star Boundary that I can’t give up on you.”
Yang Kai burst into laughter, “Your glib talk sounds better than singing. Since Temple Master is so stubborn, then this Junior will not be polite either. Get out here, what’s the point of sneaking around?”
When the words fell, Yang Kai looked around with cold eyes.
And followed by this angry outburst, one figure after another appeared around him, each of them a Third-Order Emperor, surrounding Yang Kai tightly from all sides.
Yang Kai looked at them one by one and then sneered, “Good, good, there are many familiar faces here!”
Ma Qing, the Holy Master of Heavenly Martial Holy Land held his sword behind his back with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, “Yang Boy, do you know that you are in a bad situation now? It will be too late if you don’t turn back now. It is already a miracle that you were able to restore your sanity from your demonification once, if it happens again, there will be no turning back!”
Yang Kai did not answer but instead turned to look at Li Jiao, “Does Brother Li have any words to teach me?”
Li Jiao covered his flushed face with his hands, “This Li had no choice but to join this mission. Brother Yang, please forgive me.”
Yang Kai nodded and turned to another person, “How about Temple Master Zhou?”
This man was the Eastern Territory’s Ahan Temple’s Temple Master, Zhou Ye Wang.
Zhou Ye Wang performed hand seals with a single hand and his figure flickered slightly. It obviously had something to do with his cultivation technique. He smiled, “What does Palace Master Yang want me to say?”
Yang Kai said, “No one will force you to say anything if you don’t want to.”
On the other side, Xiao Yu Yang spoke in a deep voice, “Yang Kai, turn back from the endless sea of tribulations, and repent!”
Lei Hong also bellowed, “You are still young, and you have the opportunity to set things right, why must you be so obsessed?”
Yang Kai stood on the spot with his eyes lowered, waiting for them to finish reprimanding him before responding lightly, “Is everyone finished? Then it’s my turn now.”
Wen Zi Shan nodded and said, “We are willing to listen if you have anything to say.”
Yang Kai raised a wicked grin as he sneered, “With the Star Boundary’s terrible situation, it is a great honour for this Junior to have so many Masters sent here to deal with me. However… it is not that this Junior underestimates you all, but do you really believe you can stop me if I want to leave?”
Wen Zi Shan gritted his teeth and shouted, “Yang Kai, wake up!”
Yang Kai spat coldly, “This Junior already decided to shut himself away from the world and live in the mountains and forests with Qing’er, but you all persist in persecuting me again and again. Since that’s the case, this Junior will do as you wish and turn the world upside down! Let’s see who can bear it till the end!”
As he spoke, he flashed and reappeared next to Yu Ru Meng, put his arm around her waist, and let out a low voice, “Go!”
Space Principles fluctuated, and he was about to teleport.
But the next moment, Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed, because the surrounding Space Nodes had all been sealed.
Yang Kai quickly turned his head at once towards a certain direction and growled, “Li Wu Yi!”
A figure in robes as white as snow emerged. It was Li Wu Yi, the only one who could seal the surrounding Space Nodes without anyone realizing it, cutting off Yang Kai’s escape route.
Yu Ru Meng’s face changed slightly as she felt that the situation today was beginning to turn dangerous. With the help of his Space Divine Ability, even if Yang Kai was surrounded by so many Third-Order Emperor Realm Masters, it would be simple for him to escape.
But when Li Wu Yi came out to deal with him in person, the situation changed.
Regarding the attainments in the Dao of Space, Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi were nearly on par with each other. With his greatest card sealed, Yang Kai’s combat power would be greatly reduced.
What could he do now?
When she was still in a panic, she felt a sudden strong force coming from her waist that tossed her aside. At the same time, Yang Kai shouted, “Leave first, I will find you after!”
Yu Ru Meng knew that Yang Kai was desperate and did not want to involve her, so she did not hesitate. With the help of the initial throw, she flitted out of the encirclement, and when she looked back, she saw Emperor Qi rioting violently around Yang Kai as his body was completely entangled in hostility.
Raising his hand, Yang Kai threw a fierce palm toward Xiao Yu Yang.
Space Principles fluctuated, and the space where Xiao Yu Yang stood suddenly collapsed into a black hole that could devour everything around it!
Li Wu Yi’s face changed drastically as he shouted, “Stop!”
The faces of the others paled in shock and quickly rushed to help. Xiao Yu Yang fought hard to resist the force, but this black hole was one of Yang Kai’s Divine Abilities and its effects were almost instantaneous. Xiao Yu Yang had not expected Yang Kai to attack him so suddenly and was caught off guard. There was no time to react at all.
The black hole expanded then contracted rapidly, and by the time it disappeared, the place where Xiao Yu Yang once stood was already empty.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, a Third-Order Emperor was actually killed!
Everyone knew that Yang Kai’s strength could not be judged by his cultivation because his true prowess had always greatly exceeded his realm, but only after a real confrontation with him did they truly discover how terrifying he was.
Cold chills ran up Li Wu Yi’s spine as he turned to Yang Kai with cold eyes and muttered, “You are such a disappointment!”
Yang Kai sneered coldly, “I’ve long wanted to compare notes about the Dao of Space with Senior, but have never been able to do so. It seems today I shall get that opportunity.”
“As you wish!” Li Wu Yi bellowed.
The two pushed their Space Principles wildly, and in the next instant, the surrounding world collapsed as a series of Void Cracks formed. Blood drained from the several Third-Order Emperors present as they all quickly retreated. Countless Void Cracks were now appearing and disappearing randomly, and none of them dared to touch even one.
They looked around and found Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi shuttling back and forth through the Void Cracks, as though they were walking on flat ground, but the battle was so ferocious that it split the sky and cracked the Earth.
Everyone exchanged glances, consciously aware that they were unable to intervene, and could only scatter around and wait for the opportunity to make a move.
The void crumbled and cracked, but Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi shuttled about freely still.
Suddenly, they rushed into a crack one after the other and vanished. Followed by their disappearance, the countless Void Cracks were automatically sealed by the World Principles of the Star Boundary.
Wen Zi Shan and the others exchanged looks solemnly.
Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi had obviously entered the Void Crack and there was now no way for them to intervene. They did not care too much about Yu Ru Meng, who had escaped. Yang Kai definitely could not escape from Li Wu Yi anyway. As for Yu Ru Meng, she was a matter for Flower Shadow Great Emperor to handle.
It was quiet on the top of the mountain. The newly-built wooden house collapsed into ruins, the farmland opened up by Yang Kai was even messier. Although Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi had fought for just a short time, they had thoroughly destroyed this place.
Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi appeared together in the Void Crack, looked at each other, and spoke in unison, “Search separately!”
After that, they split into two different directions and shuttled through the Void Turbulence.
Not long after, Yang Kai found Xiao Yu Yang who had been propelled into the Void by him. Xiao Yu Yang did not look good at this moment as half of his body had been pulled under by a certain Void Turbulence.
If Yang Kai arrived a little later, perhaps he would be lost in the Void Crack forever. By that time, even Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi would not be able to find him again.
Yang Kai quickly made great efforts to pull him out.
Xiao Yu Yang looked at him suspiciously, “What is going on?”
Yang Kai grinned, “Elder Xiao, you better ask Senior Li. He will give you an explanation.”
Xiao Yu Yang frowned. Although he had many doubts, he had no choice but to follow Yang Kai to see Li Wu Yi since he was not telling him anything.
After a short walk, they saw Li Wu Yi coming toward them. As soon as the two parties met and confirmed that Xiao Yu Yang was out of danger, only then did Li Wu Yi nod gently.
Yang Kai immediately complained, “Senior, what took you all so long to get here? I sent you a message eight days ago, why did you only come today?”
Hearing his words, Xiao Yu Yang widened his eyes and questioned, “You let slip your own location?” Before, he already found it weird that Li Wu Yi found Yang Kai’s hiding place and led them to the location so accurately. Only now did he realize that Yang Kai was the one who disclosed this information.
[What the Hell is this?] Xiao Yu Yang was completely bewildered.
Li Wu Yi replied, “I had no choice. I couldn’t leave. I was finally able to cause some damage to the Demon Race Army, and only then gained the spare time to come here. Did I delay your schedule?”
Yang Kai answered, “Not really. I was just worried I’d be exposed if it took you too long.”
Xiao Yu Yang interjected, “Wait a moment. Can one of you please tell me what is going on?”
Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi looked at each other and laughed.
Li Wu Yi replied, “Don’t ask too many questions, and especially don’t tell anyone about today. In short, this is the idea of the Great Emperors.”
Knowing it was a matter related to the Great Emperors, Xiao Yu Yang immediately shut up. Although he did not know what Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi were up to, he could see that this was all some kind of elaborate act, but what he did not understand was who they were putting on this show for? Was it Zhou Ye Wang and the other Emperors?
Li Wu Yi’s face turned solemn, “What are the chances of success after this time?”
Yang Kai answered, “Fairly high.”
Li Wu Yi sighed, “It’s painful to see you bear such disgrace unjustly. By the way, Senior Iron Blood asked me to tell you that he has ordered High Heaven Palace to close its gates, and all High Heaven Palace disciples have been ordered to return.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Please thank Senior Iron Blood for his kindness on my behalf.”
Yang Kai was not a fool and naturally understood that Iron Blood’s move was actually a disguised form of protection rather than a punishment for High Heaven Palace. Since Yang Kai himself had become a great sinner, it was really inconvenient for High Heaven Palace disciples to be showing themselves outside right now.
“Also, the Dragon Girl you brought with you left. She probably returned to Dragon Island.” Li Wu Yi added.
“Fu Ling returned to Dragon Island?” Yang Kai frowned, “That might complicate things.”
After pondering for a while, Yang Kai continued, “Someone from Dragon Island will certainly come to investigate. If Zhu Qing comes, please send her back to High Heaven Palace for me and ask Su Yan and the others to explain things to her. If it is Great Elder or Second Elder though… just ask the Great Emperors to explain things to them.”
Li Wu Yi nodded, “Don’t worry, the Seniors all have their own arrangements. They won’t let any resentment develop with Dragon Island.”
After chatting for a while, Yang Kai sighed, “It’s almost time. I should go now.”
Li Wu Yi urged solemnly, “Be careful!”
“I will.” Yang Kai grinned before he suddenly raised his hand, condensed his Emperor Qi, and struck his chest a few times. He opened his mouth next and coughed up a mouthful of blood, dyeing half of his body golden.
Xiao Yu Yang was taken aback as he never expected Yang Kai to be so cruel to himself!
Yang Kai turned around and tore space, escaping from the Void.
As soon as he showed himself, he was locked onto by a number of powerful Divine Senses. It was Wen Zi Shan and the others who had been guarding the area.
Turning around, Yang Kai looked ferocious as he shouted, “Many thanks for the courtesy you have shown today! This Yang will remember and surely return the favour in the future!”
And with those words, Space Principles flared and Yang Kai vanished from the spot with a flicker.
“Where’s Senior Li?” Zhou Ye Wang’s face turned ugly. Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi both entered the Void Crack together, but Yang Kai came out while Li Wu Yi disappeared. It was natural for him to have a bad premonition.
Just after he asked though, a white-robed figure emerged.
Zhou Ye Wang turned around and was relieved to see Li Wu Yi.
However, Li Wu Yi did not appear alone, but together with Xiao Yu Yang, whose face was genuinely pale.
Lei Hong was overjoyed and asked, “Old Xiao, are you okay?”
Terrified, Xiao Yu Yang answered, “Thanks to Senior Li for finding me in time, otherwise…” Before he finished, he shivered. He was not even putting on an act as he was truly traumatized from almost being devoured by the Void Turbulence in the Void Crack.
Ma Qing pointed to a direction and mentioned, “That boy ran that way. Sir, what should we do now?”
Li Wu Yi’s face darkened, “Follow him. We must bring him back, dead or alive!” After saying so, he took the lead to pursue Yang Kai while the others dared not hesitate either. Whether they were willing or not, they all followed closely behind.
Yang Kai ran for his life and half a day later, a stream of light approached him. It slowly revealed itself as it came close. It was Yu Ru Meng who had left first. She had the Heart Seal Secret Technique, so she could naturally locate Yang Kai’s position.
At the sight of Yang Kai’s bloody body and weak aura, Yu Ru Meng’s beautiful face turned pale, “You’re hurt!”
Yang Kai laughed miserably, “I’m lucky to be still alive. Hurry up before they catch up.”
Hearing what he said, Yu Ru Meng dared not to delay and hurriedly followed after Yang Kai.
…
A month later, on top of a huge mountain, Yang Kai stood on the crown of a big tree, facing the rising sun with a pair of blank eyes.
“What are you thinking?” Yu Ru Meng leaned over wrapped in fragrance.
Yang Kai coughed a few times, and replied with a weak voice, “Ru Meng, this world is truly vast, but it seems there’s no place for me in it anymore.”
He and Yu Ru Meng had been running and escaping for the past month. Li Wu Yi had been pursuing them with a few Third-Order Emperor Realm Masters like maggots on rotting bones, and Yang Kai could not shake them off. He was forced to fight several times, and each time he did, he would be injured and only narrowly escape.
According to his current situation, his statement was not an exaggeration. Although the world was large, there was no place for him to stay as Li Wu Yi was chasing after him without rest.
Yang Kai turned around and continued, “I’m sorry. I wanted to take you to live in seclusion, but now it seems that I must break my promise. Don’t follow me, let’s go our separate ways.”
Yu Ru Meng asked, “Are you going to cast me away again?”
Yang Kai shook his head slowly, “This is not the same as the last time. You’ve witnessed it already. Li Wu Yi is determined to kill me, and I’m not his match. It is pure luck that I have been able to hold on until now, but I won’t last much longer. Maybe it will be the next time, or the time after that, but my end is certain now.”
Yu Ru Meng’s beautiful eyes flashed as she suggested, “I’ve heard someone say that there is always a place at the table if one looks hard enough, and the Star Boundary is not the only world!”
Yang Kai frowned, “The Demon Realm?”
Yu Ru Meng said, “What do you think? If you want to go to the Demon Realm, I will go with you!”
“No!” Yang Kai shook his head, “There’s no way for me to go to the Demon Realm. I fell into such a situation because I got myself involved with Demons. How can I simply abandon myself now and go to the Demon Realm?
Yu Ru Meng replied, “It’s exactly because you are related to the Demons that you can enter the Demon Realm and let the Demon Race accept you!”
“Enough!” Yang Kai spat in annoyance.
Yu Ru Meng flickered in front of him and looked at him with her scorching beautiful eyes, a strange light shining in her pupils as she spoke in a soft voice, “You have made great contributions to the Star Boundary. Most of the Cross-Territory Space Arrays were built by you. You guarded Tiger Roar City and killed millions of Demons, but they still oppressed you and wanted to kill you. Now they are chasing you and not letting you go. Why do you have to remain loyal to such a place?”
Yang Kai listened with a frown, but his breathing became a little heavy. Obviously, her words had triggered him.
Yu Ru Meng continued to persuade him, her voice was like a whisper in his ear, “Don’t you want revenge? Don’t you want to wash away your grievances? Let the people who embarrass you know your strength, and make them regret forcing you like this!”
“Shut your mouth!” Yang Kai roared, veins surfacing on his forehead.
Yu Ru Meng turned a deaf ear, however, and pressed on, “Go to the Demon Realm and seek stronger power. One day, you will be able to return here, and let them know their mistake. Make them kneel in front of you and beg for mercy!”
“Go to the Demon Realm?” Yang Kai turned to Yu Ru Meng with a ferocious look, obviously moved by her proposal.
Yu Ru Meng nodded slowly, “Yes, go to the Demon Realm!”
“Will you come with me?” Yang Kai asked again.
Yu Ru Meng smiled and saluted Yang Kai, “This Mistress will!”
“This matter is very important. Let me think it over.”
Yu Ru Meng pursed her lips, “I can wait for you, but I don’t know how much time Li Wu Yi will give you to think.”
The desert of Western Territory had thoroughly turned into a Demon land. Demon Qi lingered and evil spread as tens of millions of Demon troops gathered here and constantly set out towards the depths of the Star Boundary to attack cities and plunder the land. Death and slaughter happened everywhere one went.
Even the sky above the Demon land had turned grey and dull, as if the world had lost its vitality.
Two streams of light glided through the air one after the other, passing through the sky, attracting the attention of countless Demons who bared their fangs and growled lowly.
Yang Kai did not think too much about this though. After being chased and injured by Li Wu Yi again, he immediately decided to set off for the Demon Realm in anger.
He no longer had a place in the Star Boundary.
To enter the Demon Realm, one needed to pass through the passage between the two worlds in the desert of the Western Territory, which was also the only channel that connected the two Great Worlds.
Along the way, Yang Kai’s expression was constantly changing back and forth from worry to anxiety, but Yu Ru Meng simply chattered and laughed as usual without the slightest fear for the Demon Realm, even looking quite eager to reach their destination.
They were travelling at an incredible speed, but they still attracted the pursuit of many Demon Masters along the way. Initially, there were only a few of them, but by the end of the journey, there were hundreds of Demon Kings following behind them, each of them exuding intense and terrifying Demon Qi.
Yang Kai was feeling frustrated.
Fortunately, they were almost at the entrance to the passage between the two worlds. Yang Kai held Yu Ru Meng’s hand tightly and whispered, “Hold tight to me, I’ll see if we can pass through directly. If it doesn’t work… let’s think of another way.”
Yu Ru Meng held Yang Kai’s big hand and smiled at him, “Don’t worry, just leave the rest to me.”
“Leave the rest to you?” Yang Kai turned around and frowned at her.
Yu Ru Meng insisted, “Trust me!”
Yang Kai pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth, “Good, I’ll leave it to you.”
Yu Ru Meng giggled and took a step forward in front of Yang Kai, pulling him with her as she flew ahead, arriving before the passage in the blink of an eye.
The entrance to the passage was of great importance, and was heavily guarded by Demons. There were several dozen Demon Kings posted around the entrance alone, with several Half-Saints guarding the area against any Masters from the Star Boundary who might come to destroy this corridor.
The Demon Kings and Half-Saints guarding this place looked up when they noticed Yang Kai and Yu Ru Meng’s auras, and many of them immediately revealed hideous smiles.
However, Yu Ru Meng continued leading Yang Kai and descended, landing right in front of the entrance of the passage, looking right and left with a pair of beautiful gleaming eyes.
Yang Kai stood beside her at the peak of vigilance, keeping his eyes sharp and his Emperor Qi flowing, preparing himself for a battle at any moment.
The hundreds of Demon Kings who were pursuing them finally arrived and landed one after another, surrounding them tightly. Lustful gazes lingered on Yu Ru Meng’s graceful body.
Opposite them, a huge Demon King carrying a giant axe walked forward. Every step caused the ground to tremble before he stopped just ten paces away. He pointed the axe that was larger than an average human forward and grinned sinisterly, “Humans, are you courting death?”
The aura of this Demon King was extremely powerful and although his movements were a little clumsy, he was definitely a powerful Master, probably among the strongest Demon Kings present. The other Demon Kings around sniggered at his words.
Ever since the opening of the passage between two worlds and the beginning of the invasion, no Human had ever come here; therefore, the arrival of Yang Kai and Yu Ru Meng caused the group of Demon Masters to wonder if these two people were mentally ill.
Yu Ru Meng, however, just smiled, raised her hand, and sent a stream of light toward the Demon King.
The Demon King stretched out his hand and caught whatever it was she tossed and glanced at Yu Ru Meng with a frown before looking at the object.
With a single glance, the expression on the Demon King’s face immediately changed to disbelief. He then looked up at Yu Ru Meng with his jaw hanging open.
Yu Ru Meng remained calm and smiled.
The attitude of the Demon King standing opposite them changed completely. He even became a little frightened and a lot more friendly. He nodded and bowed in a soft tone, “Please wait for a moment, let me consult Sir Half-Saint for instructions.”
Yu Ru Meng waved her hand to indicate her agreement.
Then the Demon King hurriedly turned around and headed in a certain direction. It seemed that he really went to consult with the Demon Half-Saints who were guarding this place.
This weird scene confused the Demon Kings and all of them looked around, seeing the doubt in each other’s eyes.
Yang Kai too, was confused, and quietly approached Yu Ru Meng, “Ru Meng, what did you show him? Why did he suddenly become like a dog?”
Yu Ru Meng giggled, “He has always been a dog!”
Yang Kai could not help rolling his eyes. If such a powerful Demon King was a dog, what would she be?
Yu Ru Meng interrupted his doubts, “Alright, stop asking, you’ll get your answers shortly.”
Yang Kai nodded and tilted his head, “It seems you’ve been hiding a big secret.”
Yu Ru Meng winked at him playfully, “Beautiful women all have secrets. Do you want to know what this one is?”
Yang Kai replied, “I will listen if you want to tell me.”
Yu Ru Meng patted Yang Kai’s hand, “You’ll know later.”
While the two were talking, the Demon King who had left earlier returned with a solemn expression. He quickly approached Yu Ru Meng, bowed, and held up something in both hands respectfully to her.
Yang Kai glanced at it and found that the Demon King was holding a token as big as a palm that was made from some unknown material. It was bright scarlet, as if fresh blood was just poured over it, and a twisted phantom-like pattern resembling a tortured soul howling in pain was engraved on it.
It had a soul-capturing effect at first glance, and a burst of dreary cries and screams echoed in his mind when he observed it closely.
This should be the object Yu Ru Meng passed to the Demon King before. It was a token!
Yu Ru Meng lifted her hand and took the token back, asking plainly, “Can we pass through?”
The Demon King nodded repeatedly, “Yes, of course.” After speaking, he turned sideways and beckoned, “Please, please!”
Yu Ru Meng kept her eyes straight and walked past the Demon King without sparing him a second glance while Yang Kai was at a complete loss and just followed behind her closely, his eyes darting between Yu Ru Meng to the Demon King in utter confusion.
However, when their eyes met, the Demon King had a look of admiration on his face and even gave Yang Kai a thumbs up.
The corners of Yang Kai’s mouth twitched at the mere sight.
Soon, Yang Kai and Yu Ru Meng entered the two worlds’ passage and disappeared.
At that moment, the hulking Demon King let out a long breath of relief as if he had just narrowly escaped death, wiping the sweat on his forehead as his face scrunched up in agony for a long while after they left.
However, the hundreds of Demon Kings who chased the pair all the way here were confused about the situation, and opened their mouths to ask how the passageway, which was such an important place, could have been opened to two humans?
The hulking Demon King, however, just snorted coldly, “This is an order from the Lord Half-Saints, do you have an opinion?”
This sentence silenced the hundreds of Demon Kings. Since it was the order of the Half-Saints, they naturally did not dare to have any objections, but this matter was extremely weird and became quite a mystery.
In the Void Corridor, Yang Kai and Yu Ru Meng flew forward, their hands intertwined.
From a distance, a twinkle of light seemed to be serving as a guide for the two of them. The light seemed to be quite close, but the actual distance was unknown. It was the passage between two worlds after all, and it was definitely not a journey that could be completed in just a few breaths.
Suddenly, a powerful Divine Sense swept across Yang Kai, causing him to tense up, instinctively sensing the coming of a crisis.
The strength of this Divine Sense definitely exceeded the Divine Sense of an ordinary Demon King, or even a Half-Saint.
Demon Saint!
No, it felt like a Demon Saint, but it was actually more like the Divine Sense of a Great Emperor.
After a moment of pondering, Yang Kai suddenly figured out whose Divine Sense it was.
Night Shadow Great Emperor!
Yang Kai had long heard that this mysterious figure had been guarding the two worlds’ passage, but he did not expect the Great Emperor to still be here. Martial Beast Great Emperor once mentioned that Night Shadow Great Emperor was a descendant of the Demon Race, and the two worlds’ passage was opened because of him, plunging all beings in the Star Boundary into misery and suffering.
In addition to the fact that he was once targeted for assassination by someone from Shadow Killer Palace, Yang Kai naturally did not have a good impression of Night Shadow Great Emperor.
Yang Kai swept his eyes across the deep darkness, but could not sense the whereabouts of Night Shadow Great Emperor. The Great Emperor’s Divine Sense was retracted a moment later, and there were no traces left behind.
Yu Ru Meng obviously also noticed this Divine Sense, but she paid no attention to it, and just continued to fly forward.
The light up ahead was getting closer and closer, and after some time, a suction force came from the front, and Yang Kai and Yu Ru Meng were involuntarily drawn forward. It was evidently the pull of a Great World.
Their visions blurred for a moment, and they had suddenly appeared in another space.
Before Yang Kai could even take a breath though, a variety of powerful and unmatched Divine Senses swept over them from all directions, including the Divine Senses of Demon Kings, Half-Saints, and even Demon Saints!
Yang Kai looked stern, his entire body extremely tense as his vigilance had never been higher. When he swept his gaze around, his face only grew more solemn.
What he saw was the assembling of countless Demon troops with dark, inky heads, preparing to travel through the passage, delivering support to the war in the Star Boundary. Further away, there were even more Demons constantly heading towards the entrance.
The Divine Senses that enveloped the two quickly dispersed as the Demon Masters did not seem to care about the arrival of the two, as if they had already expected it. Except for a few interested Demon Saints, whose Divine Senses lingered on Yang Kai for a tad longer, all were withdrawn immediately after they appeared.
“Let’s go!” Yu Ru Meng beckoned, and the two of them flew up into the sky side by side.
This was the moment when Yang Kai finally had the chance to investigate the situation in the Demon Realm.
This Great World was different from the Star Boundary. The World Principles here seemed to be a bit chaotic. A sun hung in the sky, but it was hazy and blurry, as if it was obscured by a layer of haze. The ground was barren with little vegetation and huge ravines ran across the ground in all directions, like the ugly, intricate patterns on the back of a tortoise.
The Demon Realm was actually such a barren land! By the look of it, this place was worse than even the Western Territory which was famed for its harsh environment. How could such a world give birth to so many powerful Demons?
The World Energy here was satisfactory, but it was only suitable for the Demon Race. The living beings of the Star Boundary couldn’t use the World Energy here for cultivation because it was filled with Demon Qi. If one really absorbed the World Energy here into their body, perhaps they would turn into a Demon within a short time.
Yang Kai looked down again after an hour of flying and could not help but be stunned, muttering, “Is the Demon Realm… really this small?”
He did not notice it before, but when he looked down from a notably high place, he found that below him was just an irregularly shaped continent, and he could see the border of the land at a glance. If the vast starry sky was described as a sea, the continent below was just a lone island in that sea.
This island was probably only several tens of thousands of kilometres across, surrounded by endless void. Strictly speaking, several tens of thousands of kilometres was not small, but the Demon Realm was supposed to be a Great World.
How could this be called a Great World? It was simply incomparable to the Star Boundary!
But if so, how could there be so many people in the Demon Realm? It even gave rise to powerful existences like Demon Saints!
As if noticing Yang Kai’s doubts, Yu Ru Meng explained, “This is just a corner of the Demon Realm. The entire Demon Realm is like a broken mirror. What you see now is just a fragment of it.”
“Broken mirror?” Yang Kai looked at her in amazement, but her description was quite vivid and Yang Kai was able to form a rudimentary picture of the Demon Realm in his mind.
Yu Ru Meng nodded, “Each and every fragment you see in front of you form the entire Demon Realm. These fragments come in various sizes and each piece is both a continent and a Small World. They are independent yet closely connected with each other. Isn’t it strange?”
Yang Kai replied solemnly, “I’ve never heard of anything like it.” This was truly an eye-opener for him.
Yu Ru Meng giggled, “This is the Demon Realm! You can’t experience how incredible it is without taking a look at it yourself.”
“Why is it like this?” Yang Kai asked with a frown. No wonder he felt that the World Energy here was a little chaotic. The entire world was composed of fragments and each fragment was equivalent to an independent Small World. It would be strange if the World Energy and Principles here weren’t in a mess.
Yu Ru Meng answered, “I’m afraid it’s sick.”
Yang Kai raised his eyebrows, “Can a world get sick?”
Yu Ru Meng turned to him, “Even a world can die, and the Demon Realm… is reaching its end.”
Yang Kai nodded and asked, “How do you connect these fragmented lands?” The armies of the Demon Race must not be from the current continent. They were definitely drawn from countless small fragmented lands. Since they could gather in one place, there must be a way for the fragmented lands to connect with each other.
“Through the Territory Gates!” Yu Ru Meng explained. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and pointed up, “Look over there, that’s a Territory Gate!”
Yang Kai looked in the direction she pointed and found a dark, oval corridor laid horizontally like a black hole in the void, leading to the unknown.
“Each fragment of land has one or more Territory Gates, which connect it to the nearby continents. Through the Territory Gates, we can go back and forth to meet with each other.”
“I see!” Yang Kai was enlightened, then he asked further in surprise, “Are there also people who are proficient in the Dao of Space in the Demon Realm?”
Yu Ru Meng smiled, “Nope. These Territory Gates weren’t created by anyone, but were naturally generated.”
“The workings of nature are profound!” Yang Kai exclaimed, suddenly thinking of a question, “But won’t such Territory Gates disappear eventually?”
“They would!” Yu Ru Meng blinked her eyes, “If all the Territory Gates of a continent disappear, it completely loses contact with the Demon Realm, and there will be one less Small World to inhabit.”
“Has this happened before?” Yang frowned.
Yu Ru Meng smiled, “It’s happened many times.”
While talking, the pair arrived before the Territory Gate. From a distance, the Territory Gate did not seem to be large, but when they came closer, it was clearly incredibly huge, easily able to accommodate a thousand people entering at once.
Before they could get close, a strong attraction came out from the Territory Gate. It was so strong that Yang Kai felt that his body was being drawn towards it involuntarily.
Yu Ru Meng shouted, “Protect yourself and don’t get hurt.”
When Yang Kai heard her, he immediately pushed his Emperor Qi. The next moment, he and Yu Ru Meng were sucked into the Territory Gate, away from the fragmented continent and into another fragmented continent.
The surroundings were quiet, and the sun was dazzlingly bright. Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and looked behind him, revealing a look of surprise, “Why is there no Territory Gate here?”
Yu Ru Meng explained, “Most of the Territory Gates are not two-way. After you enter a Territory Gate, it will randomly send you to a place in the fragmented continent it is connected to, so it’s normal for you to not see the Territory Gate here.”
Yang Kai nodded gently and remained silent for a while. Then, he looked up at Yu Ru Meng and questioned in a deep voice, “Ru Meng, who are you?”
Yu Ru Meng pressed her lips together into a smile, “Finally can’t help asking?”
Yang Kai shook his head slowly, “You know so much about the Demon Realm, so obviously you’re not someone from the Star Boundary. Even the Great Emperors don’t know much about the Demon Realm, let alone others. If I’m right, you’re a member of the Demon Race, right?”
“Indeed!” Yu Ru Meng looked at him playfully, “You seem to have a deep understanding of the Demon Race. Try guessing again. Which Clan do I come from?”
Yang Kai laughed, “You’re making things difficult for me. Although I know a bit about the Demon Race, I’m not a member of it. How would I know?” He paused a while before he continued, “There are a hundred Clans in the Demon Realm, each with their own Innate Divine Abilities. If I had to guess, I would say that you’re from the Charm Demon Clan!”
Yu Ru Meng covered her chest and jumped in joy, “You really know the Demon Race well.”
Yang Kai looked at her astonishingly, “So, are you really a Charm Demon?” Nevertheless, Yang Kai had known about it deep down in his heart a long time ago. Only Charm Demons would be so seductive.
Yu Ru Meng took a deep breath and looked at him with her head tilted, “You suspected me a long time ago, didn’t you?” Otherwise, Yang Kai would not keep asking her sensitive questions at odd times.
Yang Kai answered calmly, “I only suspected, but I had no proof. However, I wonder how a Charm Demon can disguise herself as Li Shi Qing so flawlessly that even Flower Shadow Great Emperor could not tell you apart?”
“Because…” Yu Ru Meng smiled faintly, and her aura suddenly exploded. A terrifying power fluctuated in her tender body and the surrounding Demon Qi gushed over and poured into her figure. She, who had been a Second-Order Emperor, saw her cultivation rise in the blink of an eye.
Third-Order Emperor Realm, Peak of the Third-Order Emperor Realm, Pseudo-Great Emperor, Great Emperor!
“I’m a Demon Saint!” Demon Qi silhouetted Yu Ru Meng’s body and her face became blurred, to the point where Yang Kai was unable to see her clearly. However, this haziness released a strong sense of seduction that could plant in anyone a desire to remove the fog that covered her appearance and see her true face.
Her aura alone seemed like it was about to collapse the surrounding space at any time.
Yang Kai’s jaw dropped! He was completely dumbfounded.
He had guessed that Yu Ru Meng was a Demon a long time ago; after all, he had been with her for so long and it was natural for her to let slip her identity. It was precisely because he guessed that Yu Ru Meng was a Demon that Yang Kai put on such a show with Iron Blood Great Emperor. He even asked Li Wu Yi to chase him down, cornering him to the point where he could no longer stay in the Star Boundary, thus tempting Yu Ru Meng to bring him to the Demon Realm.
Yu Ru Meng had other plans for him, which she had mentioned when she first met him.
After much effort, he finally achieved his wish and entered the Demon Realm.
But Yang Kai never imagined that Yu Ru Meng was a Demon Saint!
A Demon Saint! That was an existence comparable to a Great Emperor.
Everything made sense now. No wonder in front of Tiger Roar City, the Half-Saint Bai Zhuo retreated without a fight. Thinking about it now, Bai Zhuo must have recognized Yu Ru Meng’s identity when he saw her at that time. That was why he retreated, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties in the Demon Race Army.
No wonder in front of the two worlds passage, that bulky Demon King abruptly changed his attitude after receiving the scarlet token and let them pass through the entrance without any obstruction.
The token of a Demon Saint was equal to the presence of a Demon Saint. How would a mere Demon King dare to disobey?
With a Demon Saint escorting Yang Kai into the Demon Realm, no one would stop him.
Yu Ru Meng was a genuine Demon Saint!
Yang Kai almost thought he was dreaming. He could not regain his senses for a long time. He had calculated everything, yet he did not expect this.
Just when he was lost in his shock, Yu Ru Meng suddenly bellowed, “Human ant, how dare you not kneel before this Saint!?”
The pressure of a Demon Saint filled the air, causing Yang Kai’s bones to creak. His body seemed to be crushed by several mountains, and his knees bent involuntarily.
Yang Kai raised his eyes and looked at Yu Ru Meng with a scorching gaze. Followed by the sound of a Dragon Roar, Yang Kai covered his whole body in golden light and stood against the oppressive aura of a Demon Saint with his Dragon Pressure. He gritted his teeth as he shouted, “Kneel down my ass! Believe it or not, I’ll beat you if you dare to shame me again!”
Yu Ru Meng smiled and looked at him quietly. After a while, the great pressure dissipated without a trace.
The tremendous pressure vanished all of a sudden, but Yang Kai’s face turned red and almost spewed out a mouthful of blood.
Yu Ru Meng poked her head towards him and asked with a cute smile, “Is it fun?”
“Go away!” Yang Kai’s face darkened and he pushed her face aside. So what if she was a Demon Saint? He had groped her, kissed her, and even spanked her more than once. Yu Ru Meng already did not have any dignity in front of him. However, the aura of a Demon Saint that was released by her was indeed real. If she fully released her power, Yang Kai would have a hard time bearing it.
“It was just a little joke…” Yu Ru Meng was reluctant to let go and leaned her head towards him again.
Yang Kai replied with a face as cold as ice, “It wasn’t funny at all.”
“Okay, okay, don’t get angry, it’s bad for your body. I apologize, okay?”
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes at her, “I don’t see the slightest sincerity in your apology.”
Yu Ru Meng asked, “Then what kind of sincerity do you want?”
Yang Kai curled his finger to beckon her. Yu Ru Meng leaned her ear over and Yang Kai whispered in her ear.
Yu Ru Meng gave him a quick glance, and nodded, “Sure.”
“A real woman never goes back on her word. You promised!” Yang Kai suddenly beamed in joy.
“I promise.” Yu Ru Meng nodded happily, “As long as you can make me, you can do as you like!”
Yang Kai was a little dumbfounded, [Make you? You’re a Demon Saint! How is that possible?!] Understanding this, he burst out, “You’re screwing with me!”
Yu Ru Meng giggled as her tender body flickered and turned into a stream of light that shot forward. Mid-flight, she turned back and taunted him, “Chase after me. I’ll give you a treat if you can catch me.”
“You’re a naughty one!” Yang Kai grinned as Space Principles fluctuated and his figure flashed and disappeared, hurriedly chasing after her.
The two figures, one in front and one behind, passed through the air at an incredible speed. Although Yang Kai worked hard to push his Space Principles, Yu Ru Meng’s cultivation was just too outstanding, making it impossible to catch up with her, leaving Yang Kai feeling extremely helpless.
After an hour, Yu Ru Meng stopped suddenly. She raised her head slightly, opened her arms as if to embrace the whole world and took in a deep breath.
Yang Kai hurried over from behind, looking pleased with himself.
“I’m finally back,” Yu Ru Meng let out a long sigh, with a satisfied expression on her face.
Yang Kai looked at her from the side, then looked down at the fragmented continent below, and started, “When you said you wanted to take me somewhere, was it the Demon Realm?”
Yu Ru Meng nodded and admitted, “Yes.”
“A dignified Demon Saint did not hesitate to use her Heart Seal Secret Technique on me. It seems like the Demon Realm is very interested in my ability to manipulate Space Principles.” Yang Kai grinned meaningfully.
Yu Ru Meng smiled and explained, “Space Principles are indeed a very peculiar power. Although there are many who live in the Demon Realm, no one is proficient in the Dao of Space, while in the Star Boundary, only you and Li Wu Yi have notable accomplishments in it. Since Li Wu Yi is a Pseudo-Great Emperor, it’s not easy to make a move on him, so you became the only option.”
Yang Kai snorted coldly, “So you’ve targeted the weaker one.”
Yu Ru Meng tilted her head at him, “I even sacrificed myself for you, why are you still upset?”
Yang Kai answered, “I’m not upset. It is my honour to be so valued by a mighty Demon Saint, but I still don’t understand. Since you’re a Demon Saint, you could have just captured me, why bother spending so much time and effort?”
“Do you think that I didn’t want to?” Yu Ru Meng sighed helplessly, “But I changed my appearance using a Secret Technique, and could only exert the power of a Second-Order Emperor Realm Master in the Star Boundary. I wasn’t your opponent in that state, so I couldn’t bring you to the Demon Realm unless you were willing to come.”
“I see,” Yang Kai suddenly realized, secretly rejoicing in his heart that his plan somewhat coincided with Yu Ru Meng’s plan, otherwise he would not have entered the Demon Realm with such ease.
He pondered for a while before questioning again, “Then what do you want from me? Do you want me to set up Space Arrays to help you more quickly mobilize the Demon Race’s troops?”
“Could you do that?” Yu Ru Meng looked at him in surprise.
Yang Kai shook his head slowly, “It can’t be done. My Space Arrays only function within the same world, and the Demon Realm is clearly a special case. Since each of the fragmented continents here make up independent worlds, Space Arrays can’t be used to connect them. So if you have brought me here for this reason, I’m afraid I will have to disappoint you. If I had a deeper comprehension of the Dao of Space, I might be able to find a way to cross World Barriers, but at the moment that’s impossible.”
Yu Ru Meng smiled lightly, “I already expected as much. Don’t worry, we’re not expecting you to arrange Space Arrays for us. With the Territory Gates, the requisition of the Demon troops is fairly convenient, though it does take a bit more time.”
“Then what am I expected to do?” Yang Kai frowned.
“I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
Seeing Yang Kai’s less than pleased expression, Yu Ru Meng quickly changed the topic, “Do you want to see my true face?”
She had changed her appearance and disguised herself as Li Shi Qing, and although her appearance was restored after returning to the Demon Realm, her face was constantly covered by a strange, hazy power that blurred her features. Only one with a power stronger than hers could break through that layer of power.
But she had told Yang Kai before that her actual face would not be worse than Li Shi Qing’s.
Having said that, she was a Charm Demon, and a Demon Saint at that, so it was only natural that her appearance would not be bad.
“I don’t want to!” Contrary to Yu Ru Meng’s expectation, Yang Kai actually raised his hand and refused.
Yu Ru Meng was taken aback for a moment, “Why? Are you afraid I’m too ugly?”
Yang Kai remained nonchalant, “Even if you were as ugly as a pig, you’d still be precious to me. So, your true appearance doesn’t matter.”
“You’re such a sweet talker, aren’t you? No wonder you managed to capture so many women.” Yu Ru Meng snorted before she stretched out her hand to pinch Yang Kai’s chin, just like how Yang Kai did to her in the Star Boundary and forced him to face her, “I want you to see me even if you don’t want to.”
Saying so, the layer of haze on her face faded gradually, revealing an exquisite and stunning countenance.
She had the appearance as pure as a snow fairy, and her beauty was unparalleled. Her features were as youthful and lively as a spring in the mountains, without the slightest impurities. There was even a sense of sacredness and holiness to her.
Yang Kai had originally planned to provoke her, but at this moment, he was completely starstruck.
[Is she really a Charm Demon?] On the battlefield, he had met and killed plenty of Charm Demons, and each and every one of them could be described as seductive and alluring. Their attire was as revealing as possible, and they seemed to be in heat all the time, desperate to strip naked right then and there and seduce anyone they came upon.
But Yu Ru Meng completely subverted Yang Kai’s impression of Charm Demons. She looked so pure that it was unbearable to even think of tainting her. Thinking of what he had done to Yu Ru Meng before, Yang Kai unexpectedly felt a sense of guilt.
Secretly surprised, he quickly focused his mind and returned to his senses.
This woman’s charms were simply unfathomable. She must have cultivated her innate charm to such an extreme that she did not even need to do anything anymore to fascinate others. Her face was enough to enchant her targets, making them feel that she was the most beautiful existence in the world and doing anything to her would be unforgivable.
The corners of Yu Ru Meng’s eyes curved up like crescents, very satisfied with Yang Kai’s response as she softly whispered, “Am I pretty?”
Yang Kai bobbed his head like a chicken pecking rice, then instinctively put his arm around Yu Ru Meng’s soft waist, and moved his lips towards hers involuntarily.
A slender jade finger pressed against Yang Kai’s lips, however, as Yu Ru Meng looked at him teasingly, “It’s not that easy to take advantage of me in the Demon Realm.”
Yang Kai bullied her terribly when they were in the Star Boundary. She was a Demon Saint, but she was forced into near-death situations with Yang Kai at every turn and was even flipped over on his lap and was spanked without any power to resist. Now that they were in her territory though, how could she let slip an opportunity for payback?
Yang Kai wrapped his lips around her finger though, trying his best to tease her as he muttered, “Ru Meng, I think it’s time for us to consummate our relationship. You know what I want, and I came to the Demon Realm knowing it was impossible to go back. Can you bear to see me suffer?”
Yu Ru Meng laughed sweetly, “I told you, as long as you can make me, you can do whatever you want.”
“Who knows how long that will take?” Yang Kai complained with a bitter face, “You’re presenting me with the grandest of feasts without letting me eat it.”
“I don’t care, let go.” Yu Ru Meng shook her head slowly.
Yang Kai rolled his tongue around her finger and shook his head, “Nope.”
Yu Ru Meng was mad but wanted to laugh at the same time, “If you don’t let go, I won’t be polite to you.”
“How impolite will you be?” Yang Kai smiled cheekily.
Yu Ru Meng had no choice. She raised her other hand and lightly flicked her middle finger at Yang Kai’s forehead at lightning speed.
With a bang, Yang Kai was sent tumbling a thousand metres before he could stabilize himself. The world was currently spinning around him and it was only with great difficulty that he managed to recover from the shock and yell angrily at Yu Ru Meng, “Are you trying to kill me!?”
Yu Ru Meng just snickered, “I’m simply teaching you a lesson, I’ll do the same thing again the next time you pester me this way.”
Yang Kai’s eyes were threatening to pop out of their sockets. He was fuming. They were truly merciless, the wheels of fate, if he had known it when they were still in the Star Boundary, he would have taken her without hesitation to avoid the mess he was currently in.
[Fine, I can’t beat her, so I’ll just bear with it!]
Resentment clearly displayed on his face as he complained silently in his heart.
Yu Ru Meng stretched out her hand, and Yang Kai was drawn back towards her by a huge force involuntarily. Yu Ru Meng reached out and grabbed Yang Kai’s collar again, pulled him close, tiptoed, and planted a gentle kiss on his forehead.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead, and snickered, “What’s this? Trying to make me feel better after that with just a small kiss? Am I a three-year-old?”
“Think what you’d like. Good, let’s stop this. I will take you somewhere first.”
Saying so, she surged her Demon Qi, which wrapped itself around Yang Kai, and the two of them rushed towards a nearby Territory Gate.
Yang Kai was sulking silently, but Yu Ru Meng did not care. With the restoration of her cultivation, this woman seemed to become more confident. She no longer followed Yang Kai desperately as she did in the Star Boundary, giving him a strange sense of loss.
The two sped all the way, passing through Territory Gate after Territory Gate, going through continent after continent.
As Yu Ru Meng said before, these fragmented continents were all very different. The big ones, which could be several hundred thousand kilometres in radius, were so large that their borders could not be seen, while the small ones were just as small as the fragmented continent where the two worlds passage was located. As long as one looked from a little higher, the outline of the entire continent could be seen.
Moreover, the environment of these fragmented continents varied greatly. Some continents were abundant in World Energy and vitality, while others were dead, and had scarce World Energy.
Yang Kai observed in amazement all the way along.
But without exception, these fragmented continents were rich in Demon Qi, and non-Demon Realm creatures absolutely would not be able to survive safely here…
After more than a day, Yang Kai started losing patience.
He had a purpose for coming to the Demon Realm; however, Yu Ru Meng thought that he was forced into a desperate situation in the Star Boundary, and had no choice but to take refuge here. She did not know his true intentions, and also had no idea that he had transferred the Heart Seal Secret Technique to his Soul Warming Lotus. Yu Ru Meng did not hesitate to sacrifice herself to implant the Secret Technique on Yang Kai, but it did not result in much restraint on him; instead, she was the one who was being restricted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Kai naturally had to extract more information.
Therefore, Yang Kai also stopped being mad at Yu Ru Meng, and started to chat with her.
As they eased into their conversation, when Yang Kai felt that it was the right timing, he asked nonchalantly, “By the way, Ru Meng, how many Demon Saints are there in the Demon Realm?”
This was definitely something that even the Great Emperors were clueless about. If he could find this out, it would be of great help to the future situation, as there was a saying ‘know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious’.
“There are a total of twelve Demon Saints in the Demon Realm.” Yu Ru Meng did not suspect anything, not to mention that this was not some great secret. Since Yang Kai came to the Demon Realm, he could easily find anyone to inquire about such matters. “Each Demon Saint has a different number of Half-Saints under them who are in charge of a different number of fragmented continents.”
“Twelve!” Yang Kai whistled, “That’s two more than the Star boundary.”
Yu Ru Meng smiled, “It’s thirteen now, while there are only nine left in the Star Boundary!”
“True.” Yang Kai nodded. Night Shadow Great Emperor had betrayed them, so as soon as he switched sides, the Star Boundary had four Great Emperors less than the Demon Realm, and this included the imprisoned Bright Moon Great Emperor. It was still unknown if he was dead or alive. If the Bright Moon Great Emperor was taken out of the equation, the high-end combat power of the Star Boundary would be even weaker.
The theory of the capacity of the world should also be the same in the Demon Realm. Yang Kai believed that the reason why the number of Demon Saints in the Demon Realm was greater than that of the Great Emperors in the Star Boundary could be due to the larger capacity of the Demon Realm, hence there were twelve Demon Saints.
This did not bode well for the Star Boundary! Yang Kai was worried that the twelve Demon Saints alone were not easy to deal with. If these Masters rushed into the Star Boundary together, he could not imagine how much destruction they would bring. Perhaps, the whole Star Boundary would be shattered.
“Are the Demon Saints the most powerful beings in the Demon Realm?” Yang Kai questioned again, “I vaguely recall hearing something about a Great Demon God in the Demon Realm.”
Yu Ru Meng’s feet instantly halted as her entire body stopped in place.
Yang Kai was slow to react and had already flown a long way ahead before he quickly turned around and flew back.
“What’s wrong?” Yang Kai was puzzled.
Yu Ru Meng looked at Yang Kai solemnly, “Where did you hear that?”
Yang Kai shrugged, “I don’t remember. Perhaps someone mentioned it to me casually, or I read it from some ancient book.” He knew something was not right by the look of Yu Ru Meng, which made him feel a little nervous and uneasy.
After pondering for a while, Yu Ru Meng warned, “Don’t ever mention those words in the future.” Although she did not point out which words, Yang Kai was not a fool, and he understood what she was referring to.
“Why?” Yang Kai frowned.
“Just listen to me!” Yu Ru Meng emphasized with a solemn face, “Never mention it again; otherwise, even I won’t be able to save you if something happens.”
[Is it that serious?] Yang Kai was taken aback. [Given that there could be a situation that Ru Meng could not protect him from as a Demon Saint, did that mean that Great Demon God truly existed? There was actually an existence above the Demon Saints?]
During the final battle in the Thousand Illusions Dreamworld back then, the Evergreen Divine Tree sacrificed himself to block the two worlds’ passage with his own body. As that was happening though, from the other side of the passage, a huge hand that covered the whole sky had struck. Despite being a strike across worlds, the power of that palm was truly incredible, and Senior Qing’s mission nearly failed as a result.
That was indeed beyond the power of a Demon Saint, and the people in the Demon Realm seemed to refer to the one who made that strike as the Great Demon God!
Everything that happened in the Thousand Illusions Dreamworld was based on real historical events. In other words, there had been a Great Demon God in the ancient past, but Yang Kai was confused why Yu Ru Meng so seriously warned not to mention him even now.
Yang Kai did not know what the three words ‘Great Demon God’ meant in the Demon Realm, but he vaguely felt their weight now.
“Noted,” Yang Kai nodded solemnly. “I’ll never mention it again.”
Yu Ru Meng showed obvious signs of relief as she nodded, “That would be best.”
Yang Kai then changed the subject casually, “What about Bright Moon Great Emperor? I heard that he was held somewhere in the Demon Realm. What’s the situation now?”
“Why do you ask?” Yu Ru Meng frowned slightly.
Yang Kai sneered, “The people of the Star Boundary tormented and forced me into a corner, but now I can take revenge. If I can kill one of their Great Emperors, it will be quite a bit of interest in advance.”
Yu Ru Meng laughed, “Revenge is not something to be rushed. You still have room for growth, so it won’t be too late to make plans after you are strong enough one day. Besides, you can’t kill Bright Moon Great Emperor.”
“It’s true that I’m no match for him, but aren’t you here with me?” Yang Kai winked at her.
Yu Ru Meng shook her head, “I don’t want to get involved in matters related to a Great Emperor; furthermore, I’m not responsible for this. I’ve been in the Star Boundary all this time, so I don’t know where Bright Moon Great Emperor is imprisoned.”
Yang Kai found this reasonable. Since Yu Ru Meng had been in the Star Boundary before, how would she know about current events in the Demon Realm? It was useless to inquire about Bright Moon Great Emperor from her; as such, he immediately avoided the subject to ensure he didn’t slip up and expose himself.
It seemed that he could only start this investigation after settling down here. He at least had to figure out the location of Bright Moon Great Emperor now, and whether he was dead or alive.
Yu Ru Meng was naturally familiar with the way and led Yang Kai through one Territory Gate after another until half a day later, they passed through a certain Territory Gate and suddenly arrived in a vibrantly coloured world.
“Home sweet home,” Yu Ru Meng turned to Yang Kai and smiled.
“This is your continent?” Yang Kai turned and looked around. The whole continent was filled with bright, radiant light. When he looked closely, he realized that those bright colourful lights were actually emitted from countless exotic flowers. Almost half of the entire continent was covered in this flora and under the sunlight, it became as beautiful as a portrait.
Moreover, this continent was quite vast. From where he stood, Yang Kai could not see the end of it.
Yang Kai was amazed! He had never thought that such a wonderful world could exist.
“One of them,” Yu Ru Meng beamed slightly.
Yang Kai understood. Before, Yu Ru Meng had already stated that there were twelve Demon Saints in the Demon Realm, and each of them had a different number of Half-Saints serving them who were in charge of a different number of fragmented continents. This land that he was stepping on was obviously one of the continents she ruled.
It seemed that after returning home, Yu Ru Meng had become more and more joyful. She led Yang Kai forward for a while more before arriving at a huge palace.
The palace was encircled by hundreds of millions of flowers so even the air was thick with their fascinating fragrance.
Before they could get closer to the gates though, a scarlet stream of light came out from the palace in front of them. It travelled incredibly fast, and reached them in the blink of an eye. A man with an extraordinary appearance appeared. He was a heroic and handsome young man that was dressed in a blood-red cloak which was flapping majestically behind him in the wind. He had an outstanding demeanour equipped with shining armour.
As soon as he appeared, he cupped his hand, “Madam!”
Blood Demon! Yang Kai was able to identify his Clan as soon as he laid eyes on this man because of the faint blood stench on him. This man was a Blood Demon Half-Saint and seemed to be a capable subordinate under Yu Ru Meng, otherwise, he would not be working in her palace.
Yu Ru Meng nodded noncommittally and asked, “Did anything happen recently?”
The Blood Demon Half-Saint replied, “Nothing, but I received the order to send many people out from Madam’s territory.” As he reported, he looked at Yu Ru Meng with scorching eyes, his possessive desire not hidden in the slightest.
Yang Kai could not help raising his brow as he thought, [How dare this Blood Demon Half-Saint! Isn’t he afraid of provoking Yu Ru Meng by showing this kind of look in front of her?]
After stealing a glance at Yu Ru Meng, Yang Kai became even more upset though because she did not respond, as if this was all very normal to her.
[This bitch!] Yang Kai cursed in his heart furiously. Although he passed on the Heart Seal Secret Technique with the power of Soul Warming Lotus, which greatly reduced the impact on himself, these days, he and Yu Ru Meng’s relationship had progressed all the way to the last step of intimacy. Naturally, he regarded her as his own woman.
Now, having his woman ogled at by another man, and seeing her indifferent about it, was enough to put Yang Kai in a foul mood,
On the other side, Yu Ru Meng nodded, “I see.”
In the battle between the two worlds, the Star Boundary was not the only one that needed to recruit more soldiers, it was the same for the Demon Realm too. Each fragmented continent mobilized much manpower, and the continents controlled by Yu Ru Meng were no exception.
While talking, the Blood Demon Half-Saint suddenly turned to look at Yang Kai and questioned doubtfully “Madam, what is up with this Human?”
Humans and Demons were sworn enemies. Yu Ru Meng suddenly returned with a Human, but he did not look like a slave. The Blood Demon Half-Saint could not help feeling irritated seeing this man standing beside Yu Ru Meng. Even he had to keep a certain distance behind Yu Ru Meng when he followed her, so how dare this Human be so bold!
When he thought about this, a murderous intent was born within him, and his Half-Saint pressure began to permeate the air.
Yang Kai grinned at the Half-Saint, however, and quickly took a step closer to Yu Ru Meng. He also put his hand around Yu Ru Meng’s waist and announced lightly, “I’m Ru Meng’s husband!”
[Husband?] The Blood Demon Half-Saint’s eyes widened, and he immediately turned his gaze to Yu Ru Meng. To his shock though, Yu Ru Meng actually looked indifferent at this statement. The Blood Demon Half-Saint’s heart clenched tightly as he panicked, [Don’t tell me it’s true? Otherwise, why didn’t Madam have any intention of resisting when this bastard put his arm around her? If she really wanted to, she could have easily crushed this Human brat into dust!]
