Chapter 272 - Warming Heart Demons

“How’s he doing?” asked Blood Demon King while gasping.

“I don’t know, he suddenly burst into lights. Then the golden pillar shot into heaven and almost broke the array. I stabilized it, but he was giving out more and more spiritual strength.”

Zi Yuxiao was overwhelmed, and she was panting. She had no idea that Wang Bugui’s spiritual strength was so powerful that Blood Demon King and she nearly failed to keep the mountain together.

Keeping the mountain together had consumed lots of spiritual strength because Wang Bugui’s power was awfully strong. They two had to counteract his spiritual strength and keep the array stable at the same time.

They had made all kinds of efforts to merely stabilize this array. That was just the impact of a man would reach the early stage of the Greater Power Realm.

“It looks like he has created something impressive.” Blood Demon King laughed.

“Hope he can make it. He had already caused such an intense storm. Should he fail, he won’t be the only dead one here.” Zi Yuxiao frowned.

Judging by the storm, they could tell how horrifying the thing he created was. If he could make it, the whole world would be shaken; should he fail, more restless souls would be wandering in this world.

“Brother!”

Zhao Changge and others also arrived. They were surprised to see that Wang Bugui was still in seclusion. A golden pillar was shooting to heaven from the Divine Terrace.

“Don’t worry, he’s currently safe. You can go back and cultivate,” said Zi Yuxiao.

No one found her words to be of any relief because the laziness in her tone was gone, which seemed quite unusual.

She sounded much less coquettish than before. They knew she was worried, and given the current situation, that meant that something really bad could happen.

“Please tell us how he is.” Chu He begged with cupped hands.

Soon, all the other people behind followed him, begging Zi Yuxiao for information.

“You’ve finally failed to hide your feelings this time.” Blood Demon King tried to mock her.

Zi Yuxiao rolled her eyes at him and sighed. “He’s now in the middle of the crucial part. He hasn’t run into any difficulties yet.

“We don’t know if he can make it. You’ve seen what happened just now. Blood Demon King and I had made all kinds of efforts to keep the mountain together. If he can make it to the end, we’ll be more than happy that he possesses such great force.

“But should he fail…”

“What will happen?”

They were holding their breath, waiting for her to tell them the consequences.

“Should he fail, his primordial spirit would explode and he would lose the chance of samsara forever, merging into parts of Taoism,” Zi Yuxiao explained.

“What?!”

Chu He and the others were so frightened when they heard her. They took a step back and looked at Wang Bugui, who still had no expression on his face. He was just sitting there quietly.

Blood Demon King shook his head and laughed. “You don’t need to worry too much about him. I’ll take care of him. You should take your time and promote your own cultivation. Or do you want me to schedule it for you?”

“That’s a hard pass.”

Yu Wude and Zhao Changge shook their heads immediately. They then found themselves a rock and started to cultivate on it.

“Come here, let’s do the Simultaneous Training.”

Yu Wude pointed to the stone while saying so. Soon after he sat on it, he came up with an idea. He wanted Shangguan Yiyi to be here with him.

“Why are you pulling me so hard? You want to fight?”

Shangguan Yiyi looked a little reluctant, but Yu Wude was too cheeky to shy away. He grinned a smile and started to talk sweet.

It didn’t take long before he talked Shangguan Yiyi into cultivating on a magical martial art. Other people had started to cultivate as well.

All of them had faith in Wang Bugui, and they didn’t want to be left behind by him. The team leader was leading all his members to grow stronger.

Wang Bugui’s primordial spirit was now in hardship. He hit the bottleneck of the creation. The still water under him was making huge waves.

“Uh!”

As he groaned, the small primordial spiritual figure was cracking. Many miserable pictures were displayed in his mind.

“Bugui, why haven’t you killed Dracula?”

“Bugui! Avenge us!”

“Bugui! Always remember the pain of the family!”

The Blood Hunters who died in misery were tearing his wounds open again, telling him to avenge their death.

“Patriarch, Uncle William, Grandpa Laurent, Sister Camille, Brother Norman, Aunt Corona… I, no…”

Wang Bugui struggled painfully. He knew those people in his mind were not his real family. They were heart demons that felt so real to him.

Seeing the scars on those people, he could feel the pain on his own skin. The miserable expressions on their faces broke his heart.

“No! I can’t lose myself in hatred!”

Wang Bugui was screaming, hands laced behind his head. Then he used the strength of primordial spirit to protect himself. He had made a hard choice to drive those “family” away from his mind. However, two familiar figures popped in very soon.

He opened his eyes wider to look at the two. It was his parents, who he had been missing for day and night.

“You’ve grown up, Bugui.” Alice called to him gently.

“Mother…”

Wang Bugui looked at her in disbelief. He couldn’t help getting stuck in it, although he knew it was just an illusion created by the heart demons.

“Good boy, come here and give me a hug.” Alice smiled and opened his arms.

Wang Bugui hugged her with tears in his eyes. He had released his burden as a tough guy, an impressive genius, or a cultivator.

He was just a boy who had lost his mother. He put down his guard, rushing over to hug her. His eyes, which had been dry for decades, got teary again.

“Well, you have finally grown up. You can face the difficulties on your own and act like a real man,” Alice said as she touched his hair.

“Mother, I miss you so much…” Wang Bugui groaned.

“Bugui, you’re not powerful enough!”

Wang Xuanming was standing next to Alice, scolding him. Wang Bugui stopped burying his head in the gentle hug. He raised his head and left his mother.

He looked at his father’s resolute face and said, “Father, I can reach the Greater Power Realm as long as I manage to create Tao Laws. And I’ll try my best to reach the Human Emperor Realm as soon as possible!”

“You’re still left behind. In that way, you won’t be able to take the responsibility of defending the Human Race from the demons.” Wang Xuanming was frowning.

“I… Father, I promise you, I’ll try harder. I won’t let you down!” Wang Bugui gritted his teeth.

“Look at what you’ve done! You’ve indeed killed many evil mortals, but did you forget your duty to kill the vampires?” Wang Xuanming continued.

Wang Bugui frowned when he heard that. “That’s because those people weren’t worthy of my protection. They were much more horrible than demons.”

“But do you have any idea how much time you’ve wasted on that? That was why the vampires are indulging in wanton massacre right now, and we don’t even have the time to stop devils’ plans.” Wang Xuanming spurned.

“I…” Wang Bugui bowed his head in shame.

“Think about the Western couple you failed to rescue. If you had been decisive and killed the vampire, they wouldn’t have lost their lives! I doubt if you have really grown up.”

Wang Xuanming’s voice sounded deeper and deeper. In his resolute eyes, there were vicissitudes of those years and his suspicion of Wang Bugui.

“Father…”

Wang Bugui clenched his fists. They had missed the chance to save Allen and his wife at that time, but they were stalled by the Sanctuary, which was why the two were killed by the vampire.

Only if they had made up their mind to get rid of vampires in time! Their hesitation caused the tragedy.

“Sometimes, you are too cowardly. As the heir to the Palace of the Human Emperors, how could you let yourself be restrained by these rules? Just kill whoever blocks your way!”

“Father, I… I see. I will be decisive in the future. But I am an independent soul and I have my own ideas. I won’t kill anyone before I manage to tell the kind ones from the evil ones,” Wang Bugui said, clenching his teeth.

“Are you challenging me?” Wang Xuanming frowned. His body was shining with golden rays.

“I’m not challenging you. That’s my way of doing things,” Wang Bugui explained.

Wang Xuanming let out his formidable spiritual strength. Then he raised his hands and wanted to punish his son.

“No!”

At that moment, Alice stood in front of Wang Bugui, managing to stop Wang Xuanming.

Then she turned around and said, “Bugui, just apologize to your father. He’s right. You’re sometimes too weak. Don’t get yourself restrained.

“I want you to be the naughty boy you used to be. I don’t want you to be bound by any rules. Promise me, OK?”

Alice gave him a gentle smile, like a spring breeze blowing into Wang Bugui’s heart. That is the power of maternity, which could melt down icebergs as well as a kid’s heart.

Wang Bugui was upset because he couldn’t bear to hurt his mother. He said, “Mother, Father, I miss you so much, and I’m so happy to hear your voices.

“I feel more than joyful, I really do. I don’t know when we will meet next time, but I’m satisfied enough with this one. So, I’m so sorry.”

Wang Xuanming seemed furious. “What do you mean?”

“Ahhh!”

Wang Bugui screaming in grief. He activated the Emperor Fist and shattered Wang Xuanming to pieces. When those pieces fell on the ground, his tears also dropped down.

“Bugui, what have you done?” Alice cried out in fear.

“I appreciate your kindness, although I know you’re faking it. I can’t let myself be misled by you because my real family is waiting for me outside.” Wang Bugui suddenly turned cold.

“What are you talking about? I’m your mother, why are you…” Alice panicked.

Before she finished speaking, a fist penetrated her body. She looked at Wang Bugui in confusion.

The valiant man, treated as the reincarnation of God of War by the mortals, were staring at her, eyes blurred by tears.
