Chapter 714: Chapter 606: The Grand Bridal Heist_2
Sikong’s face revealed a sinister and arrogant smile, “In the eyes of the corpse demon, there is only food, no women.”
His face bore a smile, but he seemed not quite satisfied with this answer, and even faintly felt anger.
That’s because the wind on the street suddenly became fierce, causing the banners outside the shops to flutter loudly.
In that air, it seemed as though countless invisible sharp threads were present, leaving no trace in the wind, slowly tightening around Ning Feiyan’s slender snowy neck, creating a thin red line of blood.
In an instant, Ning Feiyan felt as though she was tightly grasped by the hand of the Grim Reaper, and she found herself shockingly unable to muster any resistance in her heart, simply needing the other party’s willing motion to be completely erased from this world.
Even in the face of an absolute life-and-death situation, Ning Feiyan controlled her emotions perfectly without chaos, but her body still responded instinctively to this terrifying presence with an indescribable sense of despair.
This sense of despair clearly informed Ning Feiyan how terrifying this man was.
He was the first of the royal family of corpse demons birthed from the Blood Pool of Corpse King Jiang Chen during the creation era, once subduing myriad spirits of ancient times with a wave of his hand, earth-shattering, and even god demons of the era of flourishing magic had countless bending the knee to him.
As for the true Realm Cultivation of the royal corpse demons, it has been extremely difficult to verify since ancient times.
The Tribulation Realm is divided into five minor realms.
Soul Awakening, God Union, Dao Merging, Thousand Tribulations, Tongming.
Ning Feiyan had already broken through to the first rank of the God Union over two hundred years ago, yet the feeling this man gave her was still like gazing at mountains and seas from afar, endless and traceless.
Those capable of giving her such feelings, their cultivation was likely not just as simple as Tongming.
Wind pierced through the clothing, drenching the back with a cold dampness.
But Ning Feiyan did not retreat but advanced, allowing the invisible threads to cut the flesh at her neck, and she stood under the shadow of a low wall, quietly laughing and said, “If he truly regarded me as food, why would he bestow me with offspring?”
Regardless of Sikong’s attitude towards Baili An, be it good or bad, corps demons giving birth to offspring was itself an impossible act, she firmly believed that Sikong was extremely interested in the child in her arms.
People who interest him generally do not die too quickly.
Sure enough, Sikong’s eyes widened, his bright pupils staring at me, his expression shocked and incredulous.
Like Divine Fire burning, his eyes briefly swept over her abdomen. Ning Feiyan saw his eyelids obviously jerk harshly, the entire person stunned in place, his eyes suddenly seemed to surge with blazing flames, an expression too wonderful for words.
The cutting pain around her neck suddenly loosened, Sikong touching his chin, his eyes looking at Ning Feiyan with astonishment and said,
“That such lowly blood of an Enchanting Demon could actually bear the Blood Energy heritage of my corpse demon royal family, young girl, you might be the first person in all ages to break such a miracle.”
Ning Feiyan wiped the blood from her neck, with no intention of delving deeper into this issue, she just smiled and said, “Since departing from Chaotic Netherworld Valley, it has been four hundred years since we’ve met, I did not expect Lord Sikong to still retain the elegance of the old days.”
Sikong looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Speaking of it, playing chess with you was indeed an interesting occurrence in my solitary life.”
Ning Feiyan couldn’t help but inwardly sneer, this fellow’s joys were always built upon the suffering of others.
In the past, out of suspicion by the Alliance Hierarch of the Wandao Immortal Alliance, she was forced to enter the Chaotic Netherworld Valley and fell into that dark domain, spending a full decade before she emerged from that perilous situation.
Yet, what she didn’t expect at all was that the devil, personally sealed by Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan in the land of abandonment, had broken the sword seal and re-emerged in the world.
With this guy’s cruel and bloodthirsty nature, having regained freedom he surprisingly did not turn the Mortal World upside down, but silently infiltrated into the Demon World, with no knowing what the reason was.
Ning Feiyan asked the question in her heart, “Why would you appear in the Demon World, my lord?”
Sikong laughed softly, his gaze like a wild and untamed evil wolf.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Mortal World. The world has changed so much over time that I didn’t even realize such a powerful female Sword Cultivator had emerged. I was drinking blood for fun in a border city, which caused that woman to detect my true form.
After an intense fight with her, I actually received a blow of her Sword Qi, which landed on my Corpse Pearl, and now, every time I feast, the intake of blood food triggers that Sword Qi to stimulate the Corpse Pearl. It’s not fatal, but that blow of Sword Qi keeps reminding me all the time that I’ve lost to a human Sword Cultivator.”
Clearly speaking about an extremely humiliating affair, yet Sikong’s broad eyes were filled with a beaming smile, as if not angry at all.
His elegant gaze shimmered like brewing poison, “Such an interesting human female, I want to either take her as my Bloodline bride.
Or find her, and slowly draw every drop of fresh blood from her body to brew into fine wine, the skin peeled away, made into decorative art for the walls of my palace, that scene would be exceedingly beautiful.”
Ning Feiyan watched the man in front of her who was as elegant as a noble young master calmly talk about extremely cruel and bloody thoughts, her face remained unruffled as she laughed teasingly, “A woman that interests you, my lord, must be extraordinarily exceptional.”
Tumultuous waves surged in Ning Feiyan’s heart, a human Sword Cultivator capable of hurting this old monster…
When did the Immortal Sect and righteous path produce such a person, and how could she be utterly unaware?
Having just dealt with some tedious and annoying tasks, Xing Wu was at leisure and intended to release a couple of demons from his Demon Prison domain to sharpen his blade, but then he remembered the ‘Heart Demon’ woman who had lost control and confronted the Demon Lord at the Monarch’s Return Banquet a few days ago, humiliating herself.
After thinking it over, he went to the Shangshi Palace, picked up two baskets of dumplings, and then headed to the inner hall’s You Pavilion.
Passing through several rounds of Sword Array Barriers, he arrived at a secret room.
The ‘Heart Demon’ woman, in her dark-embroidered attire, sat on a chair, diligently wiping her Snow Sword. Not far in front of her, a woman lay unconscious.
That woman, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, wore a black and red sword attire, and bore a wrapped Longsword.
As Xing Wu’s footsteps entered the dark chamber, he immediately saw the lying woman on the ground, and the two baskets of dumplings he was holding shockingly fell to the floor.
His face, as stiff as a zombie’s, suddenly changed color, and in two strides, he looked at the woman wiping her sword in shock, “You’re insane! How could you bring her to the Demon World!”
The woman wiping the sword remained silent.
Xing Wu took a deep look at her, his face cold and stern, “Don’t tell me you really intend to kill her? No, I won’t allow it!”
The ‘Heart Demon’ woman finally slowly raised her hand, the candlelight on the stone wall illuminating her eyes, serene as black mountains and white waters. She sheathed the Snow Sword and said, “Although she’s a bit foolish, I thought about it carefully, and she’s not utterly useless after all.”
Xing Wu watched her dismissive gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, “Are you mad enough to scold yourself, too?”
The ‘Heart Demon’ woman hummed coldly.
Xing Wu, with a headache, “The Crow Bridge linking the Demon World to the Mortal World is closed, how did you manage to go out and bring her into the Demon World?”
The ‘Heart Demon’ woman said, “On the night of the great examination’s end in Xianling City, I saw her dueling with the Sect Master on the back mountain of the city. Seeing her and experiencing a knot in my heart, I couldn’t help but beat her up upon the Sect Master’s return to the mountain.
Who would have known that she couldn’t take a punch, fainting away. I decided to keep her in the small World Treasure, carrying it with me. I never thought that she would come in handy at a time .”
Xing Wu listened with squirming on the back of his head, palpitations rousing. She actually bagged a living person as an accessory…
Knowing that the young miss had been in a bad mood these past few days, Xing Wu patiently asked, “What exactly are you trying to do now?”
The ‘Heart Demon’ woman looked up at him, “Arao wishes to marry him, but I refuse to meet her wishes.”
She spoke lightly, “I’m going to elope.”
The dark chamber fell into a long silence.
After a while, Xing Wu massaged his forehead and spoke again, “I think this matter should be considered in the long term. If you elope at this time, that woman will surely become suspicious of your origins, and all our preparations over the years will collapse in vain.
If she learns of our true identities, there’s no need for her to take action herself; the rules of this world will directly erase us. If that happens, who, after three thousand years, will be left to change the future?”
“I’ve considered all this, which is why I brought her before you.”
The ‘Heart Demon’ woman glanced at the still unconscious Yun Rong on the ground, “It’s simple, switch places like swapping king and chariot, exchange identities with her, and I can elope as Yun Rong of the Tianxi Sword Sect. Even if Arao suspects something, she should doubt the identity of the Fourth Sword.”
Grand ancestor, you are indeed too clever!
