Chapter 456 Killing Fen Lanyi

A middle-aged woman's painful voice continued to echo in the prison. She was hanging naked in midair, her hands and feet bound by chains to both sides of the room. Her body was covered in numerous wounds from the stabs and slashes of the swords, and black blood continued to flow out of her wounds.

Seeing her condition, a young woman stuffed a pill in her mouth and said. "Heh! I'm not done torturing you! I won't let a demon like you die easily, and I will continue to torture you until my sorrow disappears!"

The middle-aged woman could only stare at the young woman in front of her with blurry eyes. It had been two days since she had tortured her with a sword. Whenever she felt weak and near death, she gave her a pill, and the pill healed her body quickly.

Soon, another middle-aged woman walked inside. "Xing'er, you better stop this; you've been torturing her for two days straight."

"Humph!" Xia Xing snorted at that. "I won't stop torturing her, Mom! She killed Big Brother, so she must suffer the consequences."

Chen Xue sighed heavily seeing her daughter being so cruel, even though she herself still felt sad over her son's death, she did not want to torture Fen Lanyi, and instead wanted to kill her quickly. "Anyway, Qingyue said that you ignored her messages, so she contacted me, and she asked you to return to the sect immediately."

"But-"

Chen Xue directly interrupted her daughter. "Sigh! Out of all the Tian women, your cultivation is the lowest. If you continue like this, then your cultivation will lag behind the others."

Hearing her mother's words, Xia Xing's expression became gloomy. Since the other women could dual cultivate with Xia Tian, their cultivations could increase rapidly. Even Yu Suyin and Zhu Honglian were already above her by several minor stages, and they would soon break through to the Soul Condensation Realm.

Chen Xue faintly smiled at her reaction; she knew her daughter's weakness was Xia Tian, so she purposefully scared her. "Do you want to fall far behind the others? If you are too weak, then you will become a burden to Tian, and he will leave you behind when he goes to other realms in the future."

Her words frightened Xia Xing, she was terrified that Xia Tian would leave her behind, and she really didn't want that to happen.

Chen Xue patted her head gently. "You should return to the sect and cultivate diligently; that way you won't be too far behind the others."

Before long, Xia Xing sighed heavily and hugged her mother. "Fine, I will return to the sect right away. I don't want to be a burden to Tian, let alone be abandoned by him."

"Good!"

After that, Xia Xing immediately let go of her mother's embrace and glanced at Fen Lanyi briefly; she then took out a returning jade and shattered it directly.

After her daughter disappeared, Chen Xue immediately contacted Xia Tian and asked for his approval to kill Fen Lanyi. Since she was of no use to him, he agreed to her request without hesitation.

After obtaining his approval, Chen Xue took out her sword; she stared at Fen Lanyi for a moment before thrusting the sword straight through her heart.

"Ugh!" Fen Lanyi groaned in pain as blood flowed from her mouth and chest, and she looked at Chen Xue smilingly before breathing her last breath.

After Fen Lanyi died, Chen Xue immediately pulled her sword out of her chest and stored it again, then she left the prison and ordered a few guards to get rid of her corpse.

--------------------------------------

Meanwhile, a one-armed middle-aged man walked into a dark room. He then knelt in front of a black-robed person sitting on a throne, and he was about to report to the black-robed person. But then his face changed, and he took a shattered life jade from his storage ring.

Seeing that, the black-robed person asked. "What exactly happened, Bei Yuan? How did you lose one arm?"

"Fen Lanyi is dead, Demon Emperor." Bei Yuan replied respectfully.

"Hmm?" The Demon Emperor frowned at that. "Explain to me in detail."

Bei Yuan nodded and started explaining everything to the Demon Emperor. "That's why I was late to report it to you; I have to recover my injuries during these two days first."

"How did Zhu Yuhe and the others know your location, let alone destroy the formation?"

"I believe it was Dongfang Xinyue who informed them of our location."

"Dongfang Xinyue? Daughter of Dongfang Lie?"

"Yes! When they attacked us, I saw that she was among them, and she was holding a special artifact, so I'm sure it was her who helped them." Bei Yuan reported to the Demon Emperor according to his modified memories by Xia Tian.

​ Suddenly, a black smoke appeared behind Bei Yuan without him noticing, and the person within the black smoke immediately read his memories, but the person discovered that he was not lying. "He's not lying; that woman named Dongfang Xinyue does hold a special artifact, and it can track demon auras even when they're covered by that formation."

"I see." The Demon Emperor nodded in understanding and asked Bei Yuan to leave.

After that, the person inside the black smoke spoke. "My demon beast and one of your minions are dead."

"How could that be? Your demon beast is so powerful, there's no way people from this world can kill it."

"Fools!" The person sneered. "Earlier, I sensed three powerful cultivators in this world, and judging from their auras, I'm sure they are cultivators from other realms."

"What!?"

"You better be careful for the time being; if they find out your location, they will definitely come here to capture you."

"I understand."

"I will report this incident to my Master; if he still wants to help you, then I will bring another demon beast here."

After that person disappeared, the Demon Emperor, aka Sapphira, the daughter of Khafra, slumped on her throne. "Damn it! Why do those cultivators from other realms have to come here? Moreover, they are interfering with my plan to gather life energy!"

After that, she immediately contacted Mo Lui and asked for his report.

--------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Zhu Yuhe, Zhou Xuan, Mu Ruxue, Xia Ling, Ling Xiao, and the Vemilion Empire's soldiers had arrived at the Shan Kingdom's borders.

Mu Ruxue then asked. "What's your plan, Yuhe? Are you going to attack them head-on?"

"Hmm? I don't have any other choice, right? If we don't attack them head-on, then they'll run away from us."

"In that case, I will focus on the demon beside Shan Lui."

"Alright." Zhu Yuhe nodded in agreement; she then turned to Zhou Xuan. "Sister Xuan, I want you to capture the entire Shan Lui family."

"Are you going to punish them too?" Zhou Xuan asked in surprise.

Zhu Yuhe nodded to her. "Even though they are innocent, I will still sentence them to death, just like what Tian did to the Leng main family."

"I see. I'll go capture them now." After saying that, Zhou Xuan immediately used her Lightning Instant Movement and disappeared from their sight, and Mu Ruxue also followed suit.

"General Ling, General Xiao, we have to move faster so they don't have a chance to escape."

"Yes!" The two generals answered in unison.

My other novels

1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he naturally would change with time.

2. Otherworldly-Cultivator : There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.

3. Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
