835 14.111 Last Violet Star – (Past) Aftermath

He is very saddened by the news of the passing of the last of the present emperor’s royal descendants. He had more than 10 children, but today there are just two left. One is his beloved second princess who was protected by his strongest general and the Crown Prince which caused this killing and chaos in the Imperial Palace.

The Emperor bellows, “You killed your siblings! Even your own mother and sister!? Are you still human!?”

“So what!? Mother Empress didn’t want me to use my sister as a prize for the Xie Clan and was killed by them. That stupid sister of mine killed herself after seeing Mother Empress die before her eyes. They didn’t even want me to sit on the throne! That’s mine! It can only be mine.”

“As for that foolish third brother of mine... He wanted to use those old fools to suppress me! Did he have the right?? He was even dubbed as someone Cruel. He wanted to steal my throne! As for the Second Sister... Her husband’s family is quite smart. They had sent her away with her husband. I wanted to kill the clan of that annoying general who would have thought they would be saved by some righteous cultivators in the end. Aren’t they too lucky~”

Tsk!

“As for you old man! Aren’t you supposed to be dead!? You even called the imperial uncle back! You never wanted to give me the throne!! I’m your son. How can you pass your throne to someone else even if he is your younger brother!”

“As for you Uncle! You had already left the royal family and your name was already erased. Do you think you would be welcome once you come back? Is the throne that enchanting, you even wanted to steal it from your own nephew!!”

The Crown Prince, Wen Kang, had a brief verbal outburst that left everyone in the room dumbfounded and enraged. His remarks were not pleasant to hear, and his level of shamelessness is set to soar. He killed individuals because he was so vindictive and avaricious. Even his own mother and siblings were not spared.

The Emperor looked at Wen Kang while having tears still in the corners of his eyes. In anger and hatred, his eyes were bloodshot. He felt unable to continue to accept such a fool as his son.

.....

“This vile spawn! You already dare kill your mother and siblings, it wouldn’t be surprising for you to want to kill this emperor as well!! A monster in a human husk! You shall pay for the sins you have done!”

“Captain of the Royal Guards!! Break the legs of this sinner and drag him to prison. Zhen shall schedule his execution after the problem in the kingdom is resolved!!” commanded the Emperor.

After requesting permission, the Royal Guards captain entered the room. He shattered the last leg of the Crown Prince, who is now merely a sinner, as instructed by his liege. Wen Kang finally returned to reality after seeing his own father’s brutality. When he heard that his own father had ordered his execution, he appeared horrified. He had no choice but to wait for death after being released from prison.

The Crown Prince cries out in sorrow and regret as he groans under the pain of his fractured bones. He initially begged the Emperor to spare him, but after being denied, he began wishing his own father would perish.

The Old Emperor could only choose the proper date for the Crown Prince’s death because he was so profoundly disappointed with his oldest son. He is no longer eligible for forgiveness for his actions.

Cough. Cough. Cough.

Despite having only recently recovered from his ailing state, the emperor was made feeble by the disappointment and despair in his heart. Wen Hong and others were aware of the emperor’s anguish.

Wen Hong asked worriedly, “Elder brother! Are you alright? What are you feeling right now?”

Cough. Cough.

“Don’t worry. I’m okay... Xiao Hong, do you think that young cultivator you mentioned before is able to defeat that demonic cultivator Wen Kang had brought over?” asked the Old Emperor.

Wen Hong spoke, “He should be. There is no one as cunning as he wouldn’t be able to be that Demonic Cultivator. He must have pulled that evil man’s attention intentionally not because he is afraid of harming other people but because he is trying to hide something.”

“Moreover, his Dao Companion is quite a person himself. With his possessiveness over his partner, there is no way he would let him fight alone.”

“Is that so? I can’t wait to meet them,” said the Old Emperor.

On the other hand, Bai Wuan, who was running, had taken a few steps in the direction of the nearby woodland. Bai Wuan didn’t stop moving until there were no other individuals in the vicinity. Following him, the Demonic Cultivator of the Xie Clan came to a stop and fixed his attention on Bai Wuan.

“You’ve stopped? Is this place far enough for you to use your real abilities?” asked the Demonic Cultivator.

“Hm~ somehow. Actually, it wasn’t me who was going to fight you though~” said Bai Wuan as he turned around with a playful grin on his face. Yun Xiajie flew from the sky and landed beside Bai Wuan.

The Demonic Cultivator was somewhat startled because he was unaware that he was being pursued. He observed the young man who had just appeared and realized that although his aura was weaker than the attractive person in front of him, it was still rather strong.

“Another Golden Core Cultivator. Is he your Dao Companion?”

“Yes. He is my Dao Companion. He would be the one who will kill you. I’m so tired so I will leave everything to him.” said Bai Wuan as he answered the man’s question before saying to his husband, “Darling, he is a True Demonic Cultivator. One that had killed a lot and was a true villain. Don’t hesitate to kill him.”

“Un. Stay back,” said Yun Xiajie as he pulled his Natal Sword, Shenyuan, and attacked the Demonic Cultivator in front of him.

Bai Wuan mumbled, “Hm~ he pulled Shenyuan. Isn’t that a bit overkill?”

To defeat his opponent, Yun Xiajie merely has to employ a few simple sword skills. The Demonic Cultivator from the Xie Clan made every effort to dodge Yun Xiajie’s swings, but despite his best efforts, he still sustained injuries to various places on his body. His injuries had caused the effects of his burning to drain his blood and vigor more quickly than usual.

“You brats! You had angered me enough!!” screamed the Demonic Cultivator from Xie Clan.

His body’s resentment qi was once more unleashed, and this time it is twice as thick as the ones he used at the main palace. As soon as he saw his resentment qi attacking Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie, he burst out laughing.

HAHAHAHAHA

“Once the resentment qi enters your body you can only become a puppet of mine!!!”

Although the Second Young Master was forced to retreat in order to save his sweetheart, it was already too late to stop the wrath that was building up around them. When he sees this sight, the Demonic Cultivator chuckles as though he can already see Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie under his control.

The man’s laughing is interrupted by Bai Wuan’s echoing voice.

“Oh~ really~”

Astonished, the Demonic Cultivator. The two brats he detested the most appeared unaffected, and one of them even smiled at him.

“H-How... How is it possible for you two not to get affected by resentment qi!? Are you two not humans!? Are you immortal!!?”

“It just doesn’t work. So what can you do?” said Bai Wuan while Yun Xiajie, who was hugging him, ordered Shenyuan to slay the man in front of them.

Yun Xiajie said, “Shenyuan, kill that bug.”

[Yes, Master!]

The Demonic Cultivator was approached by a black blade. He realized it wasn’t an ordinary blade at all as sounds began to emerge from it as though it were speaking.

“Wh-What is that sword? It has a sword spirit!? Don’t tell me! A Natal...”

He had been decapitated by Shenyuan before being consumed by hellfire. Yun Xiajie absorbed the resentment qi at this time, turning his once-golden eyes red. Xia Jieye was the one who seized control of Yun Xiajie’s body when Resentment qi began to influence him.

He was compelled to awaken, although for a brief while because the vessel was in danger.

Xia Jieye hugged his wife and said, “Baby~, I’m so happy to see you.”

“A’Xia? How... Is your body alright?” asked Bai Wuan worriedly.

“I’m fine, baby. This vessel was in danger and I was forced to take over. I will go back to sleep after a few seconds,” said Xia Jieye while cuddling his wife, happy and satisfied.

In addition to letting him do as he pleases, Bai Wuan rubs his face together with his spouse’s chest to express how much he misses him.

“How long do you need before you fully wake up?” asked Bai Wuan.

Xia Jieye encouraged his slightly melancholy appearance by kissing his wife’s cheeks and eyes.

“Sorry. Don’t be sad, baby. Even if this body’s original soul doesn’t have memories it is still me. His body is still too weak for our souls to merge. I will need a few more years before waking up,” said Xia Jieye.

“I know... It’s just that... I miss you so much too. I love all of you whether your soul fragments or everything about you. I just want to make sure you are safe,” said Bai Wuan.

Xie Jieye touched their foreheads after a brief kiss.

“Soon. You and I together with our son. We shall be together forever. Baby, I need to go back to sleep now. Take care of yourself. Don’t work so hard just order this body around. He would definitely listen to all your requests. I love you, Jing’er. Until then...”

Yun Xiajie’s body passed out, and Xia Jieye once again drifted back to sleep. Since the soul of Xia Jieye is too strong for the body, Yun Xiajie fell asleep for a time. Bai Wuan let him use his lap as a cushion. While gazing at his sweetheart, he had soft, adoring eyes.

Bai Wuan kissed his lover’s forehead and remained with him until the remainder of the matter at the Imperial Palace was handled.

He murmured, “Soon, your soul will be complete and my trial shall be over. The rest shall be taken over by you after I’m gone.”

At the Imperial Palace...

Under the leadership of Lu Yi, those from diverse groups notably the ones who backed the Crown Prince were all captured. The bodies of the third prince and the empress were kept for the royal family to take over. The little princess, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to live since she didn’t pierce her heart directly and since several cultivators came over to help them arrive on time to save her. Unfortunately, when they got there, the Empress had already passed away.

Lu Yi spoke, “Capture all cultivators involved in this ruckus! They will be punished by the Alliance after we leave. As for the mortals, give them to the royal guards and the royal family would handle them.”

“Yes, Senior Brother Lu!”

“Did someone see where your Junior Brothers Bai and Yun went?” asked Lu Yi.

“Answering Senior Brother Lu’s question, Junior Brother Bai had brought away the Demonic Cultivator hiding in the Main Palace. Junior Brother Yun upon hearing this news flew away to support him. They are currently in the dense forest outside the city.”

Lu Yi said, “Since they are together they should be safe. But don’t forget someone to escort them back if they’ll spend their time flirting in the forest!”

“Eh? Really? But would they be really okay? Their enemy is a pseudo-Nascent Soul Cultivator and a demonic cultivator.”

“Even though they look young, they are now stronger than me. There shouldn’t be a problem,” thought Lu Yi as he recalled meeting Yun Xiajie in front of the Imperial Palace and observing that even he couldn’t see through this junior’s cultivation. “Since they lead him away from the crowd due to the effects of resentment qi, without weighing them down they should be able to defeat him or make the enemy run away,” He said.

Lu Yi is in the mid-Golden Core Stage. Yun Xiajie’s cultivation is at a greater degree than his since he was unable to notice it.

“As expected of that little devil, of course, the man who can enter his world would also be another monster...” murmured Lu Yi.

“Senior Brother Lu, did you say something else?”

“No. Go back to work!”

“Yes!”
