888 14.164 Last Violet Star – Cao Roulan’s POV.

Devil Fennu and Jin Baihua chose to flee after failing to assassinate Jin Shiyan and Bai Lili after knowing that Hei Anjing could personally come over to defend the Jin Tiangui Sect.

The Jin Tiangui Sect’s interior...

Only Jin Shiyan and his wife Bai Lili were able to make it back to the sect alive after successfully utilizing the flare while the enemies were preoccupied. The others perished beyond the formation barrier, whether they were Jin Tiangui Sect elders or Bai Lili’s shadow guards.

After eventually collapsing from stress and despair, Bai Lili. Her spouse escorted her back to the bedroom. Once more, Jin Shiyan invited the other clan chiefs and elders to meet with him. But unlike previously, he now appears worn out and down. He seems to have been very affected by the deaths of the other elders. Everyone could see how dejected Jin Shiyan was at the moment.

After noticing that practically everyone had assembled, Jin Shiyan spoke.

“You guys are all here? Then listen to me for the last time. Make your preparation to leave. Once the reinforcement has arrived we will immediately take our leave from this place until then you take your rest. That’s all.” Jin Shiyan said

After stating all of this, he left his seat without further conversation. The remaining Jin Tiangui Sect elders wanted to speak, but they were not given a chance. They also understood the significance of the elders who left with their Sect Master since they were the ones who cared for him until he was an adult, as opposed to those who stayed for the sect’s prestige and power. They were helpless to prevent him from leaving.

The other sect elders continued to carry out their responsibilities and aid the other disciples and laypeople in adhering to the master’s instructions after the sect master had gone. On the other side, Jin Shiyan had come to see the families of the deceased elders who were his subordinates. He went to each one individually and bowed his head in apology, asking them for forgiveness as their husbands had to make a sacrifice in return for his and his wife’s safety because he was unable to protect them.

Although they were saddened to witness their master bow down before them after hearing the news of their spouse’s death, Jin Shiyan continue to express regret for being powerless to prevent their departed husband from giving their life, they also felt a little amount of pride in themselves for being as loyal to Jin Shiyan as their deceased spouse had been to them. Their spouse had chosen the greatest lord they could have.

.....

Jin Shiyan says, “Please hear my promise. Once we get out of this hell, I, Jin Shiyan, promise to protect your families from the elders instead. Once the Sect had been rebuilding your families would still have the position of Elders in my Sect. I will greatly reward each family for their loyalty and shall be treated as this Jin Shiyan’s family members.”

“Sect Master, Thank you! Thank you!”

“There is no need to thank me. Your spouse had given me their loyalty until the very end. I promise that I shall protect their families until the very end as well.” Jin Shiyan remarked.

“We also promise to be loyal only to Young Master Jin Shiyan and his family until the end!”

Meanwhile, in the area where common folks reside, disciples from Jin Tiangui Sect had told them the news.

The disciple announced, “The Sect Master and his wife had successfully asked for help outside. We are waiting for the reinforcement to arrive until then everyone here needs to prepare to leave at any time.”

“Daren, can we ask where we are going to relocate after leaving this place?” A civilian asked.

The disciple was good-natured and honestly answered the question despite the difference in their standing, “If I heard it correctly we are going to the Western City where the elder brother of Madam Jin lives. The city under the protection of the Lan Zhuayun Sect which houses Chun Hongyun-Jun and Venerable Lord Hei.”

As the good news was revealed, everyone was thrilled. Venerable Lord Hei and Chun Hongyun-Jun are well known. They are immortals who came from the Higher Realm to live among normal people like them. In their views, the two are equivalent to Gods.

“Okay stop talking and start moving. If someone is not ready by the time we leave it would be your own fault if you were left behind.”

“Yes, Daren!” responded collectively to the commoners who were lucky enough to survive the attacks of the demonic creatures.

The Cao family is one of them, which Cao Roulan rescued from pandemonium. Few of them, including Cao Roulan’s family members, survived even after she let Baoshi take control of her body and lead them to safety. They were aware that she was a demon vessel, but the devil inside of her did not hate humans.

The Demon of Gluttony is regarded as one of the most powerful high-ranking devils in his race, but unlike the other devils, Baoshi wasn’t very interested in dealing with individuals. He is a coward, to begin with. He cannot bully the strong; only the weak. He is terribly afraid of both the immortals who can kill him and the human cultivators who can injure him. But despite his nature, he ranks among the middle of the seven deadly sins because of his ability to devour nearly anything.

The strongest among the seven deadly sins is clear. It was his highness, Ye Zihao who ruled ‘Pride’. The second strongest is Devil Fennu who rules ‘Wrath’. The devil that rules ‘Greed’ Devil Tanlan was ranked third. ‘Gluttony’ Devil Baoshi is fourth. The devil rules ‘Lust’ Devil Qingyu is fifth. The sixth is Devil Jidu who rules ‘Envy’ and the last is the devil who rules ‘Sloth’, Devil Shulan.

Devil Shulan is rated last since he is the youngest sibling and has a mental ability rather than a physical one. The ideal situation for him would be to put his prey to sleep. He cannot battle face-to-face unless his opponent has fallen asleep.

Back in the actual world, the Cao Clan was one of the few tiny clans that had made it through the initial demon and devil invasion unscathed. They were able to enter the Jin Tiangui Sect and live thanks to Cao Roulan and Devil Baoshi’s guidance. Yet as time goes on, the sect’s conditions get weaker. The Sect needed to make sure that their food supply would last until assistance arrived, therefore the amount of food distributed to the people was restricted.

The lunches are still hearty, and it is clear that Jin Shiyan had instructed his men to ensure that everyone—including the civilians—was fed adequately. One satisfying meal is insufficient for Cao Roulan, the vessel of the Devil of Gluttony, though. She needs to consume at least 100 plates of food to hold back the effects of the contract in order to halt them. Thanks to the food and Gold Jin Baihua gave her in return for the favor, Cao Roulan has just managed to survive up to this point.

She regrets it a great deal, but she also wonders if this demon invasion would have taken place if she hadn’t assisted that cretin in stealing the blood of the Bai Princess. Cao Roulan continued to hold herself accountable to the very end.

One of the Jin Tiangui Sect’s followers made a statement, and Cao Roulan’s uncles who were there at the time made the decision to promptly inform the rest of the clan of the information. Hearing that they will eventually arrive at the location where those immortals who exterminated devils dwelt made Cao Roulan a little uneasy. For humans, it was the safest area, but for a demon vessel like Cao Roulan, it was a dead end.

Naturally, as soon as Cao Roulan’s family found out, they began to worry for her. Also, there are legends that demons, whether they are disguised or not, are rejected by the barrier around the Lan Zhuayun Sect. Would Cao Roulan, a devil’s vessel, be permitted to enter the Western City?

Cao Roulan’s mother asked, “Rourou, how about it? Do you think you can enter the Western City?”

“This... I am not sure...” Cao Roulan answered honestly.

In her mind, Devil Baoshi spoke, [Don’t worry. Your body is still human. I will just seal the demonic qi the contract had left in you and conceal myself.]

‘Are you sure we wouldn’t be detected?’ Cao Roulan asked.

[50-50 that is much I can assure you. Or you can leave this place. If it’s just you I can protect you for sure unless Big Brother Zihao wants to kill me, I would be able to protect you all the way.] Devil Baoshi said.

Cao Roulan asked in her thoughts, ‘Who is this Big Brother Zihao? Another Devil?’

[He is the other son of the King of Devils like the Chun Hongyun-Jun of your race. But unlike the latter he is a pure devil in the bloodline and the strongest among the seven deadly sins.] Devil Baoshi explained. [The problem is that he hates the human race. So if ever he saw you even with me by your side we might die. Sorry, Rourou because of me you had to help Brother Fennu and caused this calamity. If not for me you should be freer than walking on thin ice like this.]

Cao Roulan smiled and said to Devil Baoshi inside of her, ‘Don’t say that. When you come to me you save my life first. You are my savior and my friend. I will never blame you. What happened with Jin Baihua that... That was my mistake. I should have known that they would not use the Bai Princess’s blood for something good. I regret helping them.’

[Rourou, I...]

‘Enough! I told you to not blame yourself. We will go with my family to the Western City. If I am able to enter safely then that’s good if not... I will repent my sins to the immortals with you. I will never leave you alone!’

[...]

Cao Roulan faces his family who look at her worriedly and said, “I’ve spoken to him. He said I would be fine and that he could hide in me.”

Sigh...

“That’s good. That’s great. Now we don’t have to separate from your uncles and roam outside the city on our own.” Cao Roulan’s father said.

Even Cao Roulan was taken aback by her father’s comments. She had no idea that her family was considering leaving their clan and following her outside if she decided not to accompany them into the Western City. She felt happy to have such a loving family and even more resentful of Jin Baihua for causing chaos. All along, she had been enjoying a happy and simple life, but Jin Baihua had made the decision to completely ruin everything.

Her brothers hugged her as well as Cao Roulan’s parents. She can clearly sense the affection his family is showing her as she keeps crying. No, she wasn’t at all mistaken. She planned to leave her parents once they found out she had Devil Baoshi inside her and was ready to be loathed by them when she made the decision to sign the contract with Devil Baoshi. Who would have thought that her family would be so eager to welcome her and Devil Baoshi unconditionally since they love her so much? Her luckiest stroke in life was this family of hers.

“I will protect you no matter what I promise!” stated Cao Roulan.

Devil Baoshi also declares, [I will also help you protect your family for you, Rourou!]
