Chapter 416 Enslave Two Demons
Chapter 416 Enslave Two Demons
After some time, the demons of the Earth Origin Realm and below were about to be wiped out. They were utterly helpless against strong cultivators like Ran Qing, Nalan Qing, Ye Qingyue, Fan Youling, Xia Ling, and the Mei Twins.
Bei Yuan, who was being pushed back by Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan's attack, glanced at his remaining men being slaughtered by Ran Qing and the others. 'Damn it! Why did things turn out like this? And where is Fen Lanyi? Why hasn't she come back yet?'
*Swoosh*
While Bei Yuan was thinking that, Ran Qing and the others had already surrounded him because the weak demons had already been wiped out. It made him utterly desperate because the effect of his soul-burning technique had already faded.
"You won't be able to escape us, Bei Yuan." Zhu Yuhe said as she wiped the blood off her mouth. Fortunately, Xia Tian had already given her the Crimson Phoenix Armor. Otherwise, she would have been seriously injured by Bei Yuan's attacks. Zhou Xuan was not much different from her either, her body was also covered in numerous wounds from his attacks.
However, Bei Yuan laughed out loud. "Haha! Even if I die now, the demon emperor is still alive, and he will send his subordinates who are stronger than me."
"Really?" Xia Tian then came out of the void with Yue right behind him with the Qingfeng Sword in hand, and Yue immediately used her light energy to envelop Bei Yuan's body. "Unfortunately, I will not let you die just like that."
"Ugh!" Bei Yuan groaned in pain the moment Yue did that, and it made his injury from the backlash of the soul-burning technique even worse, because her light energy could injure a demon like him.
Since he was already in his weakest state, Xia Tian then grabbed him by the neck from behind and instilled his Devil Slave Mark directly into his soul. Bei Yuan trembled as he felt his mark rising within his soul, and it was already too late for him to commit suicide.
Xia Tian then used the soul search on him, but his efforts were ultimately in vain, because the Demon Emperor always wore a face mask, so Bei Yuan didn't know the true identity of the Demon Emperor either.
After that, Xia Tian brought Bei Yuan to his flying artifact, and Zhu Yuhe and the others immediately followed him. On the way back to the Xia Manor, he also instilled the Devil Slave Mark on Fen Lanyi.
On the flying artifact, Xia Tian stood at the stern as he thought deeply about his next plan. Bai Yinyue then approached her husband and asked. "What are your plans for Bei Yuan and Fen Lanyi, husband?"
"Since Fen Lanyi killed Xia Han, even though she is now my slave, I will not let her go, and I will let Xue'er and Xing'er do whatever they want to her." Xia Tian then thought for a moment before continuing. "As for Bei Yuan, I plan to send him back to the northern continent, and I will use him to monitor the demon emperor. Once I find out his true identity, then we will capture him."
*Tap... Tap...*
Zhu Yuhe, who was walking with Zhou Xuan toward them, asked. "What about the demons that attack those villages, Tian?"
"Bei Yuan has already informed them of our action, so they have already fled from the southern continent. But I'm sure they will come back again, as their business is not finished yet." Xia Tian answered in the affirmative, because he had seen all of Bei Yuan's memories, and the life energy they had accumulated was far too little for the Demon Emperor's needs, so he felt certain that they would come back again.
Zhu Yuhe sighed heavily at that. "In that case, I can't do anything about Shan Lui yet, because we don't have solid proof of his involvement with the demons yet."
"En." Xia Tian nodded in agreement, he then went to the two demons' room. Even though he was already his slave, Xia Tian decided to modify Bei Yuan's memories because he didn't want the demon to know the details of their actions.
After that, he cut off one of Bei Yuan's arms, and he also injured him more seriously, but that would not endanger his life. He did that on purpose so that the demon emperor wouldn't suspect him. After everything was done, Xia Tian asked him to return to the northern continent using the returning jade.
Sometime later, Xia Tian and the others arrived at the Xia manor, and Murong Mengxin also arrived there.
Xia Xing's face immediately darkened as soon as she saw Fen Lanyi, and she immediately took out her sword. However, Xia Tian immediately stopped her. "You can torture her later, Xing'er. But for now, we will focus on big brother's funeral first."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Xing nodded in agreement, and she put away her sword again. "You better go see mom, Tian. I've tried to persuade her over and over again, but she still refuses to eat until now."
"Alright, I'll go meet her now." Xia Tian then handed Fen Lanyi over to the guards, and he immediately went to see Chen Xue.
Arriving at Chen Xue's room, Xia Tian sighed heavily, as she looked like someone who had lost her soul; even her face was haggard and pale. He quickly came over to her and sat beside her, then he pulled her into his arms. "I know you are deeply saddened by his death, but you must remember that you still have Xing'er. She is already very saddened by the loss of her big brother, and if you continue like this, then she will be even sadder. "
Chen Xue buried her face into Xia Tian's chest, and tears flowed from her eyes again; she spoke as she cried. "Why is fate so cruel to me, Tian? In the past, my husband was killed by Luo Chengsu and Liu Rouyan, and now demons have killed my son."
Xia Tian hugged her even more tightly, caressing her head and back, and said to her. "To be honest, I don't have an answer to your question, because I myself can't understand the will of fate. Even though I never believed in fate, but after my death, I realized that there are many things that we can't change no matter how hard we try. And all we can do is to keep moving forward, especially for the sake of the people who love us the most. Xing'er only has you now, and if she loses you too, then she will definitely suffer for the rest of her life."
"Xing'er." Chen Xue muttered softly.
Xia Tian released Chen Xue from his embrace and wiped away her tears before picking up the food on the table and sitting down beside her again. "Although we love Xing'er very much, but you are her mother, so you must stay strong to face this for her sake."
"Sigh, you are right, I must be strong for Xing'er." Chen Xue then wiped the remaining tears from her eyes and said. "Feed me, Tian."
Xia Tian smiled upon hearing that, he then started feeding Chen Xue.

My other novels
1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he would change with time.
2. Otherworldly-Cultivator : There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.
3. Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
