Chapter 87: Ye Wushang’s Wrath Annihilation
The old city lord of Cangyuan Ancient City was no weakling.
A Seventh-Layer Divine Realm cultivator, with Sixth-Layer Peak Sword Intent, and a master of the city’s million-year sword arts legacy, his combat power was unmatched.
Even peak God-Sealed experts struggled to defeat him. Dongfang Mingkong could suppress him, but not kill him.
Yet this sword master was crushed in a single blow by the Blood Night Monarch.
This wasn’t a clone like the one Ye Wushang had slain before; this was the true body of a demon monarch, sealed for a million years. Though weakened, he was still beyond the reach of ordinary God-Sealed cultivators.
As his palm swept across the city, life was extinguished.
The hand reached Mu Xiyao, and the pressure made her feel her soul wasn’t her own.
A thunderous roar echoed. A phantom Primordial Star descended from the heavens, shielding her.
It shattered instantly but bought enough time.
A beam of light enveloped Mu Xiyao, pulling her into a spatial rift.
The Blood Night Monarch was stunned.
“I said no one leaves! You dare defy me? I’ll kill you too!”
His rage was boundless. But chasing her would cost precious seconds enough for others to escape.
He let her go but not without a mark.
A black arrow of demonic energy pierced her body.
“Run while you can. I’ll find you. And when I do I’ll make you suffer.”
Then the slaughter began.
Hundreds of billions of lives were extinguished. The city became a sea of blood.
Far away, on a desolate mountain, a spatial rift opened. Mu Xiyao and Jiang Luocheng emerged.
Jiang collapsed, coughing blood.
“You okay?” Mu Xiyao asked.
“I’ll live. He didn’t chase us or we’d be dead.”
Mu Xiyao was confused. Why would Jiang risk his life for her?
“Don’t misunderstand. Ye Wushang saved me once. I owe him. And I figured that child is his, right?”
She touched her belly. Didn’t deny it.
“I knew it. He may not care, but I do. Saving his unborn child repays my debt.”
“Why were you even here?” she asked.
“I thought Ye Wushang was doomed after offending the Eastern Clan. I came to help but turns out, Ye Zhen crushed them. Then I sensed demonic energy. I’m a Starborn Physique. I feel it naturally. I knew you were in danger.”
“Thank you,” she said softly.
“Just tell him I repaid my debt. We probably won’t meet again.”
She fell silent, eyes full of sorrow.
Even now it’s because of him that I’m alive.
Jiang noticed her mood.
“You’ve been marked. That demon’s tracking imprint is on you. No matter where you go he’ll find you.”
“Then I’ll give birth, deliver the child and die. That’s enough.”
“You’re underestimating the mark. Even the child will carry it.”
“Is there no way to escape?”
“There’s one place. The Gravity Plains of the Xuanzhong Mountains. There, divine sense is compressed a thousandfold. Tracking marks fail.”
“It’s dangerous. Criminals hide there. But it’s your only chance.”
“I’ll go. I have no other choice.”
Back at the ruins of Cangyuan, the Blood Night Monarch absorbed the last drop of blood.
His power surged now beyond the Divine Realm.
“Time to find that little insect.”
He activated the tracking mark.
“What?! Where is she?!”
He stomped the ground.
The city collapsed further.
“You can’t hide forever. I’ll find you. And I’ll destroy everything you love.”
His gaze turned toward a distant Imperial Dynasty.
“I’ll devour them all.”
But just as he prepared to move.
A sword light tore through the sky.
He dodged but too late. His chest was sliced open. Demonic energy spilled.
“Old fool! I’ll repay this wound!”
A man in his thirties appeared, sword in hand.
“Even wounded, he escaped. Just as the Master said, demon monarchs are hard to kill.”
“Tianluo Daozhou is too remote. Too weak. If only stronger cultivators were here.”
“Chen Dudao’s legacy is gone. What a pity.”
Ten days later, the massacre was discovered.
The news spread like wildfire.
At the Ye Clan, Yue Rushuang received the report. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nove1Fire.net
“What?! Cangyuan Ancient City destroyed?”
“What about Master? What about Sister?”
She rushed to Ye Wushang’s chamber.
Inside, a terrifying aura erupted even as she struggled to breathe.
Ye Wushang had just received a system notification:
[Ding~! Congratulations, Host. Your nineteenth child has been born. Assessing aptitude…]
Summer Zixuan and Yue Rushuang are only recently pregnant. Who.?
She had concealed her pregnancy. He hadn’t noticed.
How could I ignore her?
I must bring her home. Now.
Every injustice she suffered I’ll repay in full.
