Chapter 450: 9.69 Second Blue Star – I won’t let my friends die.
The death of the White Tiger Heir is quite tragic and even the Half soul of the Black Turtle Heir was almost devoured as well. Never would these arrogant heirs know that there is someone like the God of Void resting in the place where Feng Houye’s aura remains.
Se’er is the main half of Gui Se’s whole soul. He lost the current half of his and now only a quarter of the main soul remains. He is almost fading when he runs away like a headless chicken. He never once turned his head back to look whether someone was chasing him. His fear towards Xia Jieye was now deeply embedded in his heart. The sight of Bai Yu turning to a dry corpse made him terrified.
Panting as she flew away, “Ha. Hah~ ha… Not human. That man is not a fucking mortal! Not even a human cultivator. He should be a menace. A deviant existence that even the whole world denies. Now that he reached God’s State, the heavenly laws could no longer restrain him. I need to tell Guigui as soon as possible. We need to report that being’s existence to the elders.” said Se’er to herself as she runs away.
Meanwhile, at the Ancient Palace, this is what happened a few hours ago.
Xue Hua and Xie Mo together with the rest of the family and their friends were having lunch together. As there are human guests Xue Hua had cooked a small feast for them, Ou Ya and Lin Ye. They were enjoying a seafood platter made by Xue Hua at the dining hall when they all felt something had entered the realm they were in.
Though the aura of those guests was so strong, the Heavenly Laws had restricted their cultivation to match the limit of the Mortal Realm. They were downgraded from a High God to a mere Demigod. Everyone in the Ancient Palace is spiritual in nature including the guests. They were startled when those presences were suddenly felt all over the Mortal Realm.
Ou Ya and Hu Yue, the Fox God, had the greatest reaction. Their fork and spoon fell on their plates creating a loud Clang* sound.
Ou Ya exclaimed, “What the hell!?” he couldn’t hold back a curse when he felt three strong presence beyond God State in that split second. He even jumped off his chair and ran towards the nearest window to look at the direction of the pressuring aura.
Hu Yue spoke, “Three Highgods. One is at peak with dragon’s breath, two in Mid-level with a fierce aura of wildness and aggressiveness, and lastly a breath of someone from the Underworld.”
“Are they enemies?” asked Xue Yan. He was indirectly asking if those guests were destroyers who came to target the life of Xue Hua or Xie Mo.
The Fox God shook his head and said, “Not them but these people are from the Upper Realm.”
Ou Ya asked with a confused expression on his face, “What are you guys talking about?” He is asking about the content of Hu Yue and Xue Yan’s conversation. They are obviously not talking about the same thing as his and theirs.
Lin Ye brought out a Clairvoyance Talisman. After activation, he checked what was happening in the city and reported it live for everyone.
“Three beings from the Upper Realm. A White Tiger, Black Turtle, and… A dragon!? They’ve havoc in the city. There are injured and some dead. The Major’s son is leading the police force to stabilize the scene.
The three split up. The White Tiger heads to South and the Dragon King heads to North, his target might be this Ancient Palace. Hm? He bumps into Demigod Yi and Demigod Ling. They might be in danger.” said Lin Ye. Then he turned around and asked, “What do you wish to do?”
Lin Ye is clearly asking Xue Hua. For some reason, he feels that anything Xue Hua decided to do would be what everyone in this room would choose to do.
Xue Hua was silent and turned his head to look at her husband. Though his eyes right now are golden, the soul dominant inside the vessel is already Hei Anjing.
The Ghost King smiled at him and said, “I will do what you want me to do.”
He smiled back at his husband and felt hands. “Let’s go save Old Man Yi and Old Man Ling,” said Xue Hua.
Everyone nods their head in agreement with his words. They’ve all left the Ancient Palace to head towards the bridge where Dragon King Long Yi is fighting the two Demigods Xie Yi and Shen Ling. Before everyone left, no one noticed Xue Hua looking at the message on his phone. It was the same message from Shen Ling but instead of asking for help, the contents are different.
[Xiao Hua. Tell your family and run as far as you can. The people from the Upper Realm had learned about your existence. You are a very special human but those guys from the Upper Realm would not stop until they catch you. Tell your husband to bring you away. Leave this world if you could. I’m afraid I and A’Yi won’t be able to see you again in the future. Take care, Little Ancestor.]
It was a message of warning and farewell. This is because Shen Ling knew that the Dragon King would most definitely kill them. After all, they came from that extinct clan and the Dragons and their clans would never get along. The Dragons are one of the culprits that uprooted their family clan. He and Xie Yi would never forgive them and Long Yi isn’t foolish enough to leave a future danger for his clan. It is either them or him.
But because Shen Ling said this kind of message that Xue Hua chose to save them. For an indifferent Immortal like him, he would usually not care for the mere deaths of the original residents of this world. But during the time he was asleep and had yet to meet his husband, it was that couple who stayed by his side. Xue Hua is innocent and yet not. He is scheming by nature because Lou Lan would always choose to attack him at any opportunity he gets. Only when he is beside this couple that Lou Lan didn’t dare to make a move. After all, they had given him a warning before.
Xue Hua mumbled, “Xue Hua’s request and friendship with you two shall be completed and continued by this lord instead.”

At the bridge where the two Demigods stay, the land inside the boundary is already in ruins and covered in fire. Traces of battles can be seen left on the site. Obviously, the pair is losing as their opponent is a purebred Dragon one that had reached Godhood to Godking.
Demigod Xie Yi’s spear was broken beside him and his body is full of claw marks. What’s worse is his internal injury when he was hit directly by the dragon’s tail. He felt half of his ribs break and a few of his internal organs had burst. He is now kneeling on the ground puking a mouthful of blood and flesh beside him Demigod Shen Ling had tears on his face and he no longer looks as elegant and calm as before, his face is now tainted with tears as he does his best to heal his partner. His trembling hands held the bloodied chest of Xie Yi while the others tried to advise him to leave.
Xie Yi with a pale face covered in his own blood, “A’Ling, run away and escape towards the Ancient Palace as long as you ask Xiao Hua for a favor the Ghost King would definitely make his move. I will block him for the last time!”
“NO! I’m staying!” Shen Ling disagreed and held on to his lover’s hand tightly, not letting go no matter how much Xie Yi pushed him away. He is determined to live and die with him.
“A’LING! Please don’t be stubborn. As long as the Ghost King helps us we will both live.” said Xie Ye trying to talk through his love and give him the higher chance to live but sadly Shen Ling despite being covered in tears didn’t get fooled and hugged him tighter instead.
“I don’t believe you! When I come back you will be gone… No! I will not leave. How about… you leave and I will block him?” said Shen Ling with a joking tone.
But as expected Xie Yi lost his composure and yelled, “NO! I won’t allow you to stay behind. Never!” said Xie Yi.
Shen Ling smiled at him and whispered, “See? You won’t agree. So why do you think I will? I will just stay here with you. Isn’t it better to be together even in the end?”
Sigh~
Seeing his lover’s sad smile, Xie Ye gave up and just pulled the former to his embrace. Since death cannot be avoided then… let’s just die together. At least they wouldn’t part even in death. The Dragon King in front of them was pissed off, as a single dog, he has always hated couples who love to stick with each other as if they couldn’t bear to be apart. He had always been arrogant and one that is too proud to like someone who is weaker than him.
He doesn’t have anyone he could see as equal and because of this he never fell in love before. Even Feng Houye who is only second to his strength couldn’t enter his eyes, he wanted to love someone who had the same or stronger strength than he does. Either that or his chosen someone must be a being that is special enough for him to ignore his weak capabilities. Yes, like that human whose soul is pure gold.
Long Yi wasn’t unharmed when he fought against this descendant of the Vermillion Clan. Though the clan is said to be extinct, they are still the Mythical Creature whose fire is hotter than the Phoenix Race. The Phoenix race’s fire ability is to purify while on the other hand, the Vermillion race’s fire ability is to burn and corrode. It was said that their flames had demonic elements in them and their hotness is only third to the Hell Flames. Some of his golden scales turned black and were burned, if not for the dragon’s defensive capabilities he would be now a cooked lizard.
“Since you guys are determined to die, then this king will give your death as you wish,” said Long Yi as he raised his head and slightly opened his mouth. Sparks of fire can be seen coming from his mouth. He intended to burn the two to death instead of eating them. Though they started fighting because their races didn’t get along that didn’t mean he doesn’t respect them for holding out until now.
Dragon’s Breath is one of the most powerful attacks of the Dragon Race. Anything that comes its way would definitely perish. Xie Ye just hugged Shen Ling in his embrace kissing his forehead, tears, nose, and his lips. Uncontrolled tears also stroll down on his face as he smiles at his Dao companion.
Xie Yi said, “Our souls are connected by the Dao Marriage. In our next life, I promise to find you again, Sweetheart.”
“Un! I will also look for you as well, my dearest,” said Shen Ling with a beautiful smile on their face.
They kissed before their impending death only to hear a familiar voice near them. The couple is determined to welcome their death. But at the last second before the breath of fire reaches them two shadows stood in front of them.
“I won’t let my friends die,” said a mellow yet cold voice of a young man.
It reached the ears of two making them look at the source of the voice. When they raised their heads they saw the Ghost King in the Legend, Xie Mo, and his current Lord Consort. The Lord Consort is someone they are very familiar with, especially those phoenix-shaped eyes and golden irises. It was Xue Hua smiling at them.
