Chapter 158

"You're no longer a perfect celestial being?"

The old man stared at Ao Qingcheng, his body trembling as he spoke each word slowly.

As his voice trailed off, he felt a stabbing pain in his chest. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"What?"

When the old man's words echoed through the hall, it was like a thunderclap. In an instant, waves crashed within the hall.

The powerful experts who filled the hall slowly rose to their feet, their faces like iron as they fixed Ao Qingcheng with glares as sharp as pins.

Just as expected.

Ao Qingcheng's aura was completely different than before.

Perfection.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

No more!

"How can this be?"

"That's right. She just went out for a bit. How could this happen?"

"She said she went to find Ao Qing. What exactly happened?"

Deep, heavy voices rang out. Clearly, they were unable to accept this reality.

Because Ao Qingcheng represented hope to them all. They didn't know how many resources they had spent over the years to nurture her.

Yet just when they were about to reap the rewards, this happened.

"Qingcheng, speak! Say something!" The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, then urged Ao Qingcheng urgently.

However, Ao Qingcheng just stared blankly ahead, tears streaming down her face silently. She didn't move a muscle.

"You..."

The old man's trembling finger pointed at Ao Qingcheng. He was so angry he couldn't get the words out. Helpless, he shifted his gaze to Ao Qingcheng's subordinates.

"Speak."

He demanded of one of them.

"Y-Your Excellency Bifang, I, I, I..."

"The two of you, hurry to that martial arts hall. Bring Ao Qing back, and raze that hall to the ground. I don't care if those two are mortals or not, bring back their heads!" Ao Bifang's icy voice echoed around the hall. Then with a wave of his hand, a black umbrella appeared.

"Remember, bring the Sky Blocking Umbrella. With it, the Demon Suppressing Mirror will pose no threat!"

"Yes!"

Taking the umbrella, the two mighty Demon Lords Fu Dao and Xiu Luo immediately departed.

After arranging everything, Ao Bifang's gaze returned to Ao Qingcheng. Thinking of how that useless Ao Qing had ruined all his years of painstaking work, he thundered, "The rest of you, come with me to the Sky Devouring Hall!"

"Yes!"

Deafening voices responded, then countless figures sped off.

The Sky Devouring Hall.

It was where the Sky Devouring Emperor Ao Zhong handled the Demon Sect's affairs, and also where he took his concubines.

"My dear, our three sons are good for nothing. Why don't we make another?" Ao Zhong smiled at the beauty before him.

"Humph!"

But she pushed him away, complaining resentfully, "You have three sons, but I only have my precious Qing. Yet you know he was framed, and still punished and banished him. If anything happens to him out there, I won't forgive you."

"I'm sorry, my dear, but I had no choice. You know the Red Sun Clan is just looking for an excuse to attack us. I had to make that difficult decision." Ao Zhong sighed helplessly. "And Qing has always lacked motivation and never experienced hardship. I'm just taking this chance to temper him."

"Humph!"

His wife Yun Wanqing clearly wasn't sympathetic.

"I swear, as soon as the clan situation stabilizes, I'll bring Qing back!" Ao Zhong raised his palm and smiled. "Don't you want Qing to have more siblings?"

Yun Wanqing glanced at Ao Zhong resentfully, but didn't reject him further.

Ao Zhong's face lit up in joy, and he moved to begin.

But just as he started taking off his pants, furious shouts came from outside.

"Sky Devouring Emperor, come out here now!"

Hearing this, Ao Zhong's expression changed.

"Damn Red Sun Clan, not satisfied with getting my Qing banished, now trying to suppress my imperial clan. I won't let you succeed!"

Seeing his wife's resentful gaze, he let out a breath, flared his aura, and flew out to face Ao Bifang and the others.
