In an instant, the long-lost fear of having his life threatened crept into Old Man Jin’s heart. Almost immediately, he opened his mouth to respond, “I’m willing to become your servant. Please spare my life.”
Despite having a bad temper, Old Man Jin was a very knowledgeable man. He would act as though he were a completely different person whenever he encountered someone stronger, or he would have perished long ago due to his temper.
“Oh?” Upon hearing this Ling WangChen raised his eyebrows. “You say that you want to become my servant, but what use do I have for you?”
Feeling the terrifying aura dissipate a little, Old Man Jin could at last heave a sigh of relief, knowing that he had survived the ordeal. However, Ling WangChen’s question was just as perilous.
Based on the situation he had observed just now, the person in front of him was likely the hidden person-in-charge of the Igniting Star Sect, and his cultivation level was unfathomable.
Even if he said that he wanted to become a henchman, the other party was someone who could order around the whole of the Igniting Star sect. He did not need him at all. The risk was way too high.
Cold sweat dripped down Old Man Jin’s face. In the past, every sect had to spend countless amounts of effort just to enlist his help. He never would have thought that there would be a day where someone might even disdain having him as a servant.
The next instant, Old Man Jin’s sharp eyes caught a glimpse of Shao Ci who was lying behind Ling WangChen. Remembering how important this youth at the foundation building stage was to Ling WangChen, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind and he immediately said, “This old man has been out to sea for many years. I have a deep understanding on how to solve the issue of sea sickness. I can solve that fellow Daoist’s problem as well.”
There was a moment of silence from Ling WangChen.
Old Man Jin felt extremely anxious, for fear that he had made the wrong guess. The momentary silence felt unbearable. Finally, the other party replied, “Not bad.”
“This subordinate’s name is Jin Kun, I’ve met your lordship before.” Old Man Jin let out a sigh of relief and immediately handed over blood from his heart. With this drop of blood, the other party could track his location at any time, and could even use special skills to critically injure him directly.
Towards the prospect of becoming a servant for the other party, Old man Jin did not feel unwilling at all. In fact, he even felt extremely proud.
After all, to be able to become a servant of such a strong person was something one could only come across serendipitously. Just getting a word of advice from the other party was far more effective than those people who cultivated on their own. Look at the people from the Igniting Star sect, aren’t they just as respectful towards Ling WangChen as well?
The people in the audience were completely baffled. For a moment they did not know whether to be stunned by Ling WangChen’s strength, or by how shameless Elder Jin Kun was.
Elder Jin Kun was an all mighty nascent soul stage cultivator ah! To actually surrender so easily and willingly become a servant even before getting injured. And to say such a thing in front of so many disciples of the HuaYun Sect caused everyone to be momentarily speechless.
Seeing this, the head of WanJian sect remembered what he had just said earlier and his complexion instantly paled.
Never would he expect that the early nascent soul stage Elder Jin Kun would be restrained so easily. Ling WangChen’s cultivation strength was unfathomable even by him. He was at the very least a powerhouse at the immortal ascension stage… or even stronger. And he actually offended this person for Jin Kun who was merely at the nascent soul stage.
The head of WanJian sect immediately opened his mouth to apologise “Fellow Daoist Ling, what i said just now was due to my lapse in judgment regarding the situation. Please forgive my mistake.”
Even his way of addressing Ling WangChen changed to fellow daoist. His tone of voice also carried hints of an attempt to curry favour with the other party.
The audience was stunned once again. WanJian sect’s head actually completely disregarded his own image to fawn over Ling WangChen. If they had known earlier, they would have established a good relationship with the other party in the first place.
Several people felt remorseful.
Ling WangChen casually nodded his head.
“This HuaYun sect’s disciple stealthily attacked a member from another sect. His heart is unscrupulous and he even wants to wrongly accuse others.” The head of WanJian sect snorted coldly, looked towards the male surnamed Wang and said unhesitatingly, “He should have his cultivation crippled and kicked out of the sect.”
“You’re right, this old man really regrets accepting such a person as a disciple. He is really the shame of the HuaYun sect.” Looking at his own disciple again right now, he felt even more repulsed by him. He almost caused him to offend such a powerful individual over such trivial matters.
Dangling in the air, the male surnamed Wang was simply dumbfounded. Never would he have thought that the situation would turn out this way. For what reason did his master and backer suddenly become a servant of a member of the igniting star sect. The head of the WanJian sect was completely biased towards the other party as well.
In that moment, he felt incomparably regretful for his actions. Why did he take such a cheap shot and attack the other party? So what if the other person was only in the foundation building stage?
To have a strong person like Ling WangChen sheltering him, even if that person was only in the Qi condensation stage he was still in a safer position than him. There was no reason for him to go looking for trouble.
The onlookers were stunned. Just a quarter of an hour ago, no one could predict that the situation would turn out this way. Unexpectedly, offending a disciple who was merely at the foundation building stage became a problem that even members of the HuaYun sect found hard to face.
Then again, for the Igniting star sect to actually bring over a disciple at the foundation building stage. For all they know, this foundation stage disciple’s position in the sect wasn’t low and he just wanted to come and broaden his horizons.
The people in the audience instantly felt fortunate that they didn’t go looking for trouble like what the male surnamed Wang had done.
Upon seeing Ling WangChen, the head of the WanJian sect smiled as if he had not said what he had said previously. “Since the victim of this current situation is fellow daoist Ling, this person will be passed over to fellow daoist Ling to dispose of.”
“En.” Ling WangChen faintly nodded.
If anyone else harboured such a cold attitude towards him, the head of WanJian sect would definitely have been infuriated by the other party’s disrespect long ago. But when it came to Ling WangChen, this feeling felt natural.
In order to redeem his image and unable to restrain his anger, Jin Kun looked towards Cultivator Wang as if he were looking at his enemy. “Your lordship, why don’t you allow me to handle this villain. He actually dares do such a thing, I only wish that I never accepted him as a disciple.”
Ling WangChen was originally too lazy to handle such matters personally anyways, so he offhandedly replied, “As you wish.” Looking down, he saw that Shao Ci had actually fallen sound asleep. His cheeks were a little flushed and his forehead had started to head up. These were symptoms of the lack of spiritual force.
Based on common logic, after possessing spiritual veins in his body, Shao Ci should be able to absorb the spiritual energy he needs from his surroundings. But because the spiritual veins were created personally by Ling WangChen, his spiritual veins were several times better than normal ones, and the amount of spiritual power he needed was much greater.
However, because Shao Ci’s speed of absorbing spiritual energy was too slow, he could only rely on dual cultivation to keep up.
But the situation Shao Ci was in right now wasn’t right either. Even if he lacked spiritual energy, he shouldn’t be in such a bad state either.
Ling WangChen had a dark look on his face. He immediately carried Shao Ci and returned back to his cabin without bothering to explain anything. Only after he left could the passengers aboard the ship breathe a sigh of relief. They had all been subconsciously holding their breaths just now.
Ling WangChen laid out an extremely strong formation within the cabin. At this very moment, one could say that this was the safest place aboard the whole ship.
Shao Ci was lying on the bed. His body felt unbearably hot. But what made him feel worse was the formation on his back which carried an indescribable feeling. Even though it wasn’t particularly painful, it felt unpleasant.
Shao Ci’s forehead was filled with cold sweat and he gripped the bed sheets tightly. His consciousness had almost dissipated completely.
Ling WangChen quickly pulled apart Shao Ci’s clothes, and saw that the formation on his back was bursting with light.
“This is a backlash.” Ling WangChen’s ice blue eyes darkened.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

When Si WuXing did this it wasn’t as though he hadn’t taken this problem into consideration. But because he thought that he would never leave Shao Ci’s side, he didn’t care.
When Ling WangChen stretched out his hand to touch Shao Ci’s body, the other party acted as if he had touched boiling oil and subconsciously avoided him while sobbing.
When experiencing backlash from the curse, the effect of the spell that Si WuXing had previously placed on Shao Ci got amplified, causing Shao Ci to be unable to bear the feeling of being touched by others.
A cold look flashed past Ling WangChen’s eyes. Had he known earlier that this would happen, he would have killed off that person in the first place.
He gently bent down to look at Shao Ci, “It’ll be over soon, just bear a little longer and you’ll be fine.”
Shao Ci looked over in confusion, seeming as though he didn’t understand what Ling WangChen meant. Subsequently, large amounts of spiritual energy condensed and solidified retraining both his hands.
Meanwhile Ling WangChen directly pressed his hand against Shao Ci’s spine, leaving no room for protest.
“……!” Shao Ci immediately began to struggle non-stop, crying and begging Ling WangChen to let go of him.
However, Ling WangChen was relentless. He pressed down on Shao Ci’s shaking body and slowly slid his hand down the patterns of the formation.
The light emanating from the formation disappeared in areas touched by him. But because the patterns on the formation were far too complicated, Shao Ci couldn’t stop crying and even called out a person’s name.
“… WuXing, save me…” Despite Shao Ci showing nothing on the surface, the curse was still very useful. Deep in his heart, the person he was most reliant on was still Si WuXing.
Shao Ci’s voice was very faint, but Ling WangChen heard it clearly. His expression immediately turned cold.
Ling WangChen slowly removed all of Shao Ci’s clothing and kissed his body despite Shao Ci’s constant struggle.
Every time Ling WangChen kisses him, Shao Ci’s body will shake. Despite being in unbearable pain, the process of Ling WangChen entering spiritual power into his body felt very comfortable. These two completely different feelings caused him to feel extremely complicated.
The moment he was being entered, Shao Ci once again struggled with strength comparable to that of a kitten. He then started crying softly.
Ling WangChen lowered his head to kiss away the tears on his face, while caressing the formations on Shao Ci’s back.
By the time it was all done, Shao Ci had no strength left in his body as he lay on the bed. His whole body was full of sweat and he was close to losing consciousness.
He had just temporarily suppressed the effects of the backlash caused by the spell on Shao Ci’s body. But without sufficient spiritual power, backlash from the spell will quickly reoccur.
Ling WangChen hugged Shao Ci’s body and Shao Ci immediately started trembling subconsciously. Clearly still unused to being touched by him after the situation which had just transpired.
Ling WangChen didn’t like the way Shao Ci resisted him, even if it was just because of the spell. His ice blue eyes darkened and he directly lowered his head to kiss Shao Ci on the lips.
He originally thought that he would be able to endure it. But in actual fact, he was much scarier than he realised.
——
The next day, Shao Ci lay on the bed as his whole body felt even weaker than before. It felt as though he had been run over by a car. Yet, he had almost no memory of the day before.
According to what Ling WangChen had told him, he had passed out due to backlash from the spell. Ling WangChen didn’t look like the kind of person who would lie either, so that should have been the truth.
Ling WangChen sat by the bed, held Shao Ci’s hand and gently entered spiritual energy into his body. He had an apologetic look on his face. “I was too rough yesterday… But during this period of time your body can’t have any shortage of spiritual energy, or the spell on your body will backfire completely. By then, this problem would be hard to settle.”
Shao Ci didn’t know why but he felt a little frightened looking at him. However, after experiencing discomfort caused by the lack of spiritual energy, the comfortable feeling he got while receiving spiritual energy felt subtly addictive.
Additionally Shao Ci came to realise that the spiritual energy he absorbed while meditating was not only not very good, it was ineffective as well, causing him to feel even more tired instead…….
At this rate how was he supposed to cultivate ah!
Just like that, this matter quickly passed.
As for his seasickness, after taking the medicinal pill delivered by Jin Kun, Shao Ci instantly felt much better.
After the previous incident, wherever Shao Ci went, other people will distance themselves far far away from him, for fear of being implicated in case they were to bump into him by accident.
Jin Kun had lately become even more of a bootlicker than before. Everyday he would humbly stand outside the door, awaiting to be called upon. Whatever matter he was tasked with was done quickly and effectively. In addition, he knew deep in his heart that fawning over Ling WangChen was useless, so it was better for him to curry favour with Shao Ci instead. As through that, he was more likely to receive substantial benefits from Ling WangChen.
Hence even if Shao Ci just wanted to take a short stroll on the deck, he would encounter the highly attentive Jin Kun who would try to use various ways to please Shao Ci.
It was one thing to have Jin Kun try and curry favour with him, but he had ordered all the disciples of the HuaYun sect to follow suit as well. Upon learning that Shao Ci enjoyed eating good food, he forced his disciples to go out to sea and catch delicious tasting sea beasts to cook with.
These disciples did not dare disobey the elder’s orders. All each of them could do was force themselves to make food. And if they didn’t do a good job cooking they would have to face the wrath of Jin Kun.
Just like that, over the course of several days, disciples of the HuaYun sect were generally able to cook quite well. They felt bewildered. Did they come to train or did they come to learn how to cook ah.
Seeing this, Shao Ci couldn’t help but feel that these people were way too miserable…
The other elders of the WanJian sect tried to establish a good relationship with Ling WangChen as well, but because they weren’t as shameless as Jin Kun, they didn’t make much progress.
As the other cultivators were all afraid of offending Ling WangChen, upon learning that the other party wanted to enter the secret realm as soon as possible, they did not dare to continue hunting down sea beasts.
Originally there were many extremely strong sea beasts surrounding the secret realm. Every time they made a trip to the secret realm they would have to confront them.
But this time due Ling WangChen’s presence, not a single sea beast dared to assault them. After all, sea beasts that were able to reach such a high level of cultivation were all proficient in avoiding conflicts that were disadvantageous to them.
After sailing for several days without encountering a single high levelled sea beast, the passengers aboard the ship revered Ling WangChen even more.
The ship arrived at the entrance of the secret realm at a speed several times faster than that of previous years.
Hence, the entrance to the secret realm had not been open yet by the time they arrived, and everyone on the boat had no choice but to wait aboard the ship for several days. In the few days that followed, the disciples of the HuaYun sect had no choice but to continue cooking with tears in their eyes.
At long last, the entrance to the secret realm opened.
On this day, a huge whirlpool appeared on the originally calm and serene ocean, forcefully sucking in tonnes of seawater as well as all the sea beasts that were swimming nearby. If one were to look at it from the sky, it would look like a deep abyss.
The formation carved onto the ship allowed it to stop beside the whirlpool. Even seeing it from a distance aboard the ship caused everyone’s hearts to palpitate.
“This is the entrance to the secret realm.” The sect head of the WanJian sect said solemnly.
There were seven or eight entrances like such in the sea. This entrance was monopolised by the ten biggest sects but the others weren’t. So one could only imagine how many people would be entering. Out of which were also a substantial number of devil and demonic cultivators.
Soon after, the sect head of the WanJian sect brought out a fan and threw it into the whirlpool. As the fan shook, the waves slowly became calm.
As the water stopped flooding into the center of the whirlpool, the true appearance of the whirlpool begun to reveal itself. It was actually a huge door. The door looked extremely old, on it, there were marks left behind by nature.
“This secret realm is huge. Despite the countless years that have passed it has yet to be fully explored.” The head of the WanJian sect began introducing the situation within the secret realm. “This realm can be split into three layers.”
“The first layer is extremely chaotic. There is a huge number of ancient architecture, as well as a large number of tremendously strong demonic beasts. There are also spatial cracks that can appear anywhere and at any time to take away a person’s life.
But where there is danger, there are also countless opportunities. An example being the corpses of ancient dragons that have appeared in legends. Possessing it requires both luck and strength. This will be the primary focus of our exploration.”
Details regarding the second layer were only briefly described by the WanJian Sect’s sect head.
This was because the second layer was a lot smaller than the first, and a lot safer as well. It was the gathering point for several cultivators. Those who haven’t brought enough medicinal pills could purchase them there as well.
Every time the secret realm opens, groups would gather there to hold auctions. Items auctioned there were naturally precious things people have found inside the secret realm but did not need.
Items that couldn’t be easily auctioned off in the outside world would appear here as well. Rumours even say that slaves with cultivation levels at the golden core stage, as well as young girls from the demon clan would all be auctioned here as well.
During such times, transactions would be made between Daoist cultivators and demonic cultivators or between daoist cultivators and the devil race, which was a situation that people on the outside could never imagine happening.
Of course, for the sake of privacy, everyone at the auction would be required to wear a hat, so that no one knows the identity of the person that they are dealing with.
The third layer was extremely dangerous. The entrance was also very difficult to find. Hence, not many people knew of its existence.
The secret realm would only be open for three years. After three years it would naturally be sealed shut and cultivators inside would be directly driven out.
It usually appears randomly on the East China sea, and in order to avoid leaving from a location different from where they entered from, every person would bring a magic item with them. Although it wasn’t very useful, it would help one return back to their original spot after leaving.
Shao Ci: “……’ The third layer was actually where the tomb of the ancient dragons was located. But being able to enter was entirely dependent on one’s luck.
You don’t even need to think about it to know that this was something that the world’s consciousness would give to the male protagonist of the original novel.
Majority people have already known about matters relating to the secret realm during their time inside the sect. Hence they only causally listened and nodded.
Thereafter, the disciples were led by their elders to enter the secret realm one by one.
As for the disciples of the HuaYun sect, they could only look sadly at their elder who was still following Shao Ci’s beck and call, and entered on their own.
Meanwhile, Jin Kun was still trying to display his usefulness. “I’ve entered this secret realm several times. Whatever you need you can just ask me.”
“Hmm.” Ling WangChen nodded casually and held Shao Ci in his arms. He raised his hand and a sword made out of spiritual energy condensed in the air. Stepping on it, they entered the gates.
——
The moment everyone entered the secret realm, they saw a piece of scorched land.
It was as if a great battle had occurred here. Corpses could be occasionally spotted on the ground, but the majority had been completely rotted. It was unknown how long these corpses had been there for.
The sky was of a dark and gloomy colour, and there was the occasional flash of purple lightning carrying a frightening amount of power, causing everyone to tremble with fear despite it being so far away.
“That is heavenly lightning.” The WanJian sect’s sect head said solemnly. “This is the lighting tribulation that cultivators will have to encounter when ascending. Even though the lightning here is much weaker, it is not something cultivators of your level can handle.”
Everyone’s expressions begun to turn serious as well. They were naturally well aware.
The first obstacle encountered upon entering the secret realm was this heavenly lightning. In order to officially enter into the secret realm, one had to first pass through this area before being able to encounter all kinds of opportunities.
But in this area, every step made carried the likelihood of being struck by lightning. Only a sparse few places were safe.
These safe areas were different every time as well. Hence testing to see which areas were safe took up a lot of time.
Even though the speed of nascent soul stage cultivators where extremely fast, and their cultivation would allow them to tide through dozens of strikes of heavenly thunder, and magic treasures could be used to help them survive the remaining ones albeit barely, no one was willing to do such a stupid thing. Furthermore, these nascent soul stage elders weren’t here for themselves, but to protect the talented disciples from their sect.
If heavenly lightning was to strike a disciple at the golden core stage, they could only at most handle a few strikes. As for disciples at the foundation building stage, dying a horrible death was their only outcome.
Because of this, everyone had thought that Shao Ci who was merely at the foundation building stage showed up to be cannon fodder. After all, if a foundation building stage cultivator was to enter this area filled with lightning, only a breath of time was needed before their bodies turned to ash. There wasn’t even enough time for them to consume medicinal pills to recuperate their injury.
“Rise.” WanJian sect’s sect head directly conjured up thousands of small swords, and manoeuvred these swords into flying towards the road in front of them.
Whenever the flying swords flew into a specific area, dark clouds would gather in the originally peaceful sky and tens of thousands of tribulation lightning would instantly strike.
The strength of the lightning tribulation was astounding, and the majority of the flying swords were reduced to ash within a blink of an eye. Even the complexion of the sect head of WanJian turned pale for a moment.
Just like that, only a few dozen swords remained intact.
The WanJian sect’s head continued to manoeuvre the remaining swords forward, and another tens of thousands of tribulation lightning struck down.
That’s right, they were slowly finding their path by using this method. While it was not completely safe, it was enough for their disciples to pass through.
Perhaps because Shao Ci’s cultivation level was way too low, the moment he entered this place his whole body felt weak.
Hence, while others were busy exploring the place, Shao Ci could only lean on a soft couch with Ling WangChen sitting beside him, slowly entering spiritual energy into his body to suppress the puppet spell, just in case Shao Ci were to use up too much of his spiritual energy and incur a backlash.
On the other hand, Jin Kun was like a dutiful servant, serving the two of them non stop. He would even take out spiritual food from his space from time to time (and these foods were prepared by the disciples of the HuaYun sect). People from the HuaYun sect couldn’t bear to look at his bootlicking appearance.
They haven’t even tasted the food that they’ve prepared!
After days of testing, they have finally found a relatively safe path. Everyone stepped onto the path carefully.
Even though the path was relatively safe, there were still some tribulation lightning that would strike. When that happens it was important to not dodge away, or they would encounter even stronger tribulation lightning somewhere else. Hence, one could only forcibly endure.
Majority cultivators had brought along magical defensive items. But while these kinds of normal defensive weapons could only help in defending them for a moment, after getting struck by lightning tribulation, as long as they could take a medicinal pill they would be able to reach their destination.
However, Shao Ci was unable to use this method, because as a foundation stage cultivator, any strike of lightning was enough to instantly turn him to ash.
For a moment, several disciples secretly rejoiced at Shao Ci’s misfortune in their hearts. They had been jealous of Shao Ci’s good treatment for a long time. Laughing coldly in their hearts, they wanted to see just how Shao Ci was going to handle this problem, or was he just going to stay at this place.
However the very next moment, Ling WangChen hugged Shao Ci in his arms, stepped on his sword and flew forward directly.
Everyone was startled. No matter how strong Ling WangChen was, this was lightning tribulation ah! Was he really not scared?
All they saw was countless strokes of tribulation lightning. But they all dispersed completely even before touching Ling WangChen.
Ling WangChen crossed this area in an extremely casual manner. As for these countless flashes of lightning, they were like a background scenery for him. He looked like an immortal that had descended from the heavens.
Instantly, some people were disillusioned into thinking that these lightning tribulations actually weren’t that strong. Someone even tried to touch a lightning bolt, resulting in them vomiting blood and almost dying on the spot. It was only then did they realise just how frighteningly high Ling WangChen’s level of strength was.
Just why would such a strong and perfect person care so much about a person still in their foundation stage of cultivation!
Immediately, feelings of jealousy, envy and hatred arose in the hearts of several cultivators.
When Jin Kun saw this, he disregarded all danger and rushed forward..
Although the way he tried to please Ling WangChen and Shao Ci caused him to be viewed as an embarrassment in the eyes of others, only Jin Kun knew of his good luck.
In these recent few days, whenever Ling WangChen casually gave him a few words of guidance, Jin Kun would feel enlightened in several different aspects. These dozen odd days of training were actually more efficient than his previous dozen odd years.
It was definitely not a mistake to follow beside such a strong individual.
Of course, Jin Kun didn’t have Ling WangChen’s level of strength. After being struck by ten over flashes of lightning, his image looked deplorable. His hair and skin were charred black and he even coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
Ling WangChen looked at Jin Kun. Remembering how he had been waiting upon Shao Ci, he actually had a pretty good impression of the other party.
Most importantly, Jin Kun was already extremely old, and clearly won’t seduce Shao Ci. Even if he wanted to, Shao Ci won’t be seduced by him either.
Ling WangChen said slowly, “Shao Ci just so happens to be lacking a subordinate.” He then casually pointed at Jin Kun’s direction.
At once, a ray of light enveloped Jin Kun, and any lightning that came into contact with the light vanished without a trace.
Knowing that his efforts had been recognised by Ling WangChen, he felt incomparably happy and excitedly chased after them.
As for the rest of the people who were still slowly walking on the pathway, they looked on in dismay at the three people who were far ahead. Looking enviously at that ray of light, then looking at the lightning-filled path in front of them, they felt very miserable.
This was especially so for the disciples of the HuaYun sect who were close to vomiting blood. Where else could one find such an irresponsible elder. For the sake of being a servant for others he completely disregarded the welfare of the disciples from his own sect. Why were they so wretched!
The elder of the igniting star sect had already received instructions from Ling WangChen and he was told to stay back and follow the team. All he could do right now was watch Ling WangChen leave from afar. His heart felt a little unwilling. He was clearly Ling WangChen’s actual servant. Who did that Jin Kun count as.
——
At another entrance of the secret realm, was a group of Demonic cultivators.
For the past years, demon cultivators will enter this secret realm as well. But as Demonic cultivators preferred to keep to themselves, they naturally wouldn’t cooperate with each other. The moment they entered they would split up and go their separate ways.
But this time was different, all the demonic cultivators walked in an orderly manner, and would occasionally look on with a worshiping gaze at the person at the front.
The person leading at the very front was an extremely beautiful young man. He looked gentle, not at all like a demonic cultivator. In fact, he looked like a member of a righteous sect.
This youth was the eldest son of the previous demon lord, Si WuYue
Si WuYue was originally the illegitimate child of the demon lord before he got married. He lived with his mother in an extremely chaotic place. No one thought that he would be able to survive.
But when the son of the demon lord’s wife, Si WuXing gave up on his position as the heir and left, the demon lord seemed to suddenly remember that he had this child and brought him back.
By this time, Si WuYue had already become an infamously frightening demonic cultivator in the place where he grew up. No one knows what he has gone through.
Not long ago, Si WuYue unhesitatingly murdered the previous demon lord, and used an extremely ruthless secret technique to take away his father’s cultivation.
If this sort of thing were to happen in the Daoist cultivation world, everyone would have shouted and hit him. But in the world of demonic cultivators, his actions not only garnered a ton of praise, he even managed to gather a group of fanatical admirers.
Si WuYue always carried a faint smile on his face. There were even times where his expression appeared bashful. But he had an extremely cruel personality. Within the span of time it takes for him to smile his enemies would already have perished.
For him to be able to rely on his identity as an illegitimate son to quickly ascend the throne, in addition to talent, he had relied on several terrifying underhanded approaches as well. One could say that he was an extremely scary person.
This time, his goal of coming to the secret realm was for an auction item on the second floor.
Hmm… New target? 👀
Poor poor Shao Ci. Psychopath Bait, I feel like that should be his official title. 😅
Most of the strongest seem to be the craziest! 🤣
If not before, then certainly after meeting him.
Thanks for the translation ❤️
Thank you for the chapter!!
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
I’m thinking he’s just a new enemy and not a target 👀
i wanna see the protagonist save shao ci mwuahahahha
thank u fkr the chapter!
I miss Si Wuxing… Sure he turned Shao Ci into a puppet that could never leave him, but at least he was a doting boyfriend who tried to keep him unhurt and comfortable, and he was even working towards actually giving Shao Ci some freedom. I want a side story with those 2 where Shao Ci slowly falls in love with Si Wuxing’s sincerety and Si Wuxing becomes less of a horrible villain because he doesn’t want Shao Ci to dislike him. They could’ve been so cute together.
