Chapter 860 - 860 14.136 Last Violet Star - Guest Hall

860 14.136 Last Violet Star – Guest Hall

Everyone in the room became silent as a result of Lu Yi’s abrupt confrontation with the side of the Imperial Family. Nobody was able to refute anything spoken by the Great Elder of the Lu Weifeng Sect. All of what he had stated was true, despite everyone’s best efforts to deny it. Unfortunately, they are unable to do anything about it.

First of all, it is foolish to assemble all Sect Masters from the Great Sect. The other sects were all linked by relationships, blood, and marriage with the exception of the Hou Long Sect, whose association is only with the Imperial Family. Despite having established status in the Cultivation World, it may be said that the Hou Long Sect seems to be the outsider among the five Great Sects.

In addition, Hou Long Sect is a newborn when compared to the other four venerable sects. Even more absurd is the claim that this sect is attempting to harm the Dao Companion of its patron, or should we say the Hou Long Sect’s founder. This Hou Long sect was established as a result of an idea that Bai Wuan, who at the time was Hei Anjing’s mortal self, had.

Clearly, the forthright and brazen Sect Master of Bai had no intention of aiding the Imperial Family in any way. After all, it is ludicrous to urge a family member to harm his own family. Furthermore, given that he is married to Yun Huaxia, this man would unquestionably support Bai Qiyin. The sole princess of the Bai Lengshui Sect is wed to the Sect Master of the Jin Tiangui Sect, Jin Shiyan. She will always support her family because she is Sect Master Bai’s younger sister. Additionally, Hei Anjing previously healed the wounds of Sect Master Jin and Lu Yi, the Great Elder of Lu Weifeng.

They would undoubtedly take action against his savior. Therefore, the Imperial Family’s efforts are completely fruitless.

The Prime Minister was at first dumbfounded by what Great Elder Lu Yi had just mentioned. The other four Great Sect would unquestionably not advance on Chun Hongyun-Jun, and it was only then that he understood that it was truly impossible to touch him.

In his disbelief, “Do you not care about the Human Race at all?” questioned Cao Junya.

Yun Huaxia said, “Are you confident that my younger brother will make a move against them?”

Even though he had been silent and let his wife speak the entire time. It didn’t imply that he had no desire to participate in such a discussion. After all, he is still Yun Xiajie’s older brother.

.....

“If you are calling Xiao Jie a Devil spawn, doesn’t that make me his elder brother a greater demon then? After all, he was born in our Lan Zhuayun Sect, and our parents of this world.” Yun Huaxia adds.

The Prime Minister had been utterly silent at this point. He had been so preoccupied with trying to find out how to handle the problem with a famous person like Chun Hongyun-Jun being discovered to have devil’s blood that he had forgotten to look into the connections between the target and his ally. When he realized that none of the other Great Sect would be willing to participate in this predicament, his face grew pale. They are most likely to help the target instead.

When Sect Master Lu saw the strained mood in the room, he spoke out. He had always demonstrated a stronger capacity for critical thought than his more powerful brother in the Lu Weifeng Sect.

Actually, there is something Lu Er wanted to know, so he wondered, “Is it feasible to invite some of the witnesses to come here? I wonder if the Prime Minister is going to allow us to see a few individuals who were present when the King of Devils declares that Chun Hongyun-Jun possessed the blood of the Devil Race.”

“Approved,” said Emperor Hong as he gestured to one of his hidden royal guards to send those people in as per the request of Sect Master Lu.

Gratified Sect Master Lu said, “Thank you for your understanding your Majesty.”

“I wanted to know what Sect Master Lu wanted to ask as well. I am more quite interested in what you desire to know,” responded Emperor Hong.

Lu Er grins and states, “I am only looking for a way to survive. You might not know but as a friend of Brother Wuan, we know him too well. Even though he is cruel and merciless he is only towards his enemies. Towards the people under his wings, none is able to move them. As for strangers and acquaintances... It would depend on how they would act against him. What I wanted to know is that. What range or requirements he had given to consider one as his enemy.”

Although everyone was silent, they were all silently concurring with Sect Master Lu Er’s statements. Nobody could dispute that Hei Anjing is now the strongest being in the Mortal Realm. Simply put, opposing him meant death.

A few men eventually entered the hall after a little delay. Upon witnessing the people that had assembled in the room, they immediately became rigid.

The knights’ thoughts as they approached their king and distinguished visitors,

‘It’s your Majesty the Emperor. The Prime Minister and the Venerable Masters of the Great Sects! Scary~ why am I called here?!’

‘I... I don’t remember doing something so bad to call upon these great masters. Wuwuwu~ I hope that your Majesty will protect me.’

‘Who I am? Where am I? Why am I here? Fuck! Am I dreaming!? Ugh~ I want to run away but I’m unable to...’

The Prime Minister could only sigh seeing how nervous the royal soldiers who are supposed to be as rigid as a rock when doing their duties as protectors of the Imperial Family. But he can understand them, the Sect Masters of the Great Sect were considered exalted beings by ordinary humans. They rarely see one of them much more than seeing all of them at the same time.

Sigh~

“Be at ease. Your Majesty and I called you here just to ask you to tell us everything you had heard in the underground chamber before, especially the conversation between the King of the Devils and Venerable Lord Hei. Tell us everything you have heard. Do not miss even a single detail!”

“Yes, Lord Prime Minister!”

The royal soldiers started talking one by one.

“The Devil King suddenly appeared and started calling Chun Hongyun-Jun his son.”

“He was clearly taunting Lord Hei and Chun Hongyun-Jun. At first, he didn’t call Chun Hongyun-Jun his son but started attacking Lord Hei. We don’t know why he wanted to kill him.”

“Lord Hei doesn’t seem to care much about the King of Devils. So to catch his attention the Devil King informed him about Chun Hongyun-Jun’s origins of being his son.”

“Right? He was obviously waiting for Lord Hei to loathe Chun Hongyun-Jun but...”

“But Lord Hei doesn’t care about it at all. He even said that if one loves a person, he should be able to accept his origins, personality, and everything about that person. If he is unable to, would you still be able to say you are someone if you aren’t able to completely accept all of him?”

“This reply from Lord Hei caused the King of the Devil to be bewildered. He was in denial as he couldn’t accept the fact that Lord Hei still... Still love Chun Hongyun-Jun despite his blood as... As a devil then...”

“Then suddenly Lord Hei issued a bet with the King of the Devils...”

When they heard this part of the story, the Emperor, his Prime Minister, and the great Sect Masters were shocked. They were completely unprepared to learn that Hei Anjing would initiate a wager with the King of Devils.

Emperor Hong asked, “What kind of bet is it?”

“A bet that is connected to the life and death of the King of Devils.”

“The King of Devils said that he would spread the word about Chun Hongyun-Jun’s origins to all the three realms. If there are those who wanted to kill the son of the Devil King then... Lord Hei’s task is to... Massacre them. This is regardless of who the other person is. Lord Hei must kill him if not it would be considered his defeat.”

“But once Lord Hei killed everyone who wants to kill the son of the Devil King, it would be considered as the loss of the Kings of Devils and his everything would fall in the hands of the God of Punishment which was Lord Hei.”

“Your Majesty and Lords! That’s all we had heard!” said the soldiers as they bowed their heads. Whether the reason is fear or due to nervousness, or maybe it was both.

His Majesty lets out a helpless sigh as he motions for the royal soldiers to go after finishing their duty and instructs them to rest. Again, just the original group was present inside the hall, where stillness had been longing to settle.

They were all astounded by the facts and information they had obtained. The wager between the Venerable Lord Hei and the King of Devils was astonishing. The Human Race and the Immortal Race can flourish if Lord Hei wins the wager. If he failed, the King of Devils would have Chun Hongyun-Jun and another immortal on their side, and the three realms would engage in conflict, causing the extinction of several races. The Immortal Race would also see significant upheaval.

Who is Lord Hei? If the news were real then it means he is the God of Punishment. Among all the Gods and Goddesses in the Upper Realm, the God of Punishment is one of the strongest immortals that ever existed. All races dread him since he is the one who decides what punishments a wrongdoer would get.

His status as the Youngest Son of the Immortal Emperor adds additional pressure. They had no idea what the Immortal Emperor would do if he found out about their wager. They were surprised to learn that the issue affects all three realms rather than just the Mortal Realm.

They now understand how bizarre Hei Anjing is. How bored is he to shake the three realms in a play he wanted to be the leading character? This isn’t a problem ordinary existence like them can get involved with.

Lu Yi spoke, “I know that A’Wuan is crazy for Yun Jieye but not to this extent. Huaxia, what do you think your younger brother is feeling right now?”

“Don’t ask. He must be extremely happy. That damn brat! Why didn’t he stop A’Wuan before he went mad and made such a weird bet!” complained Yun Huaxia.

Jin Shiyan spoke, “My sect is not completely stable. I truly don’t want to get involved in this.”

“I also... wouldn’t get involved. I will handle the Lu Weifeng Sect disciples and cultivators and warn them not to get involved in this madness. Though there might be some stupid humans getting ahead of their heads for this I’m sorry... I am not willing to save them this time,” said Lu Er.

Bai Qiyin spoke, “The Bai Lengshui would not get involved. My elder brother is still a part of my Bai Family. We are more likely to protect him if a war goes beyond what he can handle.”

“Dear Elder brother is not weak. It is just that a sea of blood would not be avoided. Immortals might descend because of this. Certainly, a decree from the Upper Realm would be heard one of these days,” said Bai Lili.

These Hei Anjing brothers had greater knowledge of the Upper Realm since their parents had told them everything when they had come home a few years after their oldest brother had departed the realm 10 years prior. They are more concerned that the Immortal Emperor may decide to support a faction that wished to kill the Devil King’s son.

Yun Huaxia spoke, “If it’s like this we need to make a declaration as Sect Masters of the Great Sect. Not to get involved with the bet of A’Wuan and the King of Devils.”

Bai Qiyin, “Agreed.”

Jin Shiyan, “I also agree.”

Lu Er and Lu Yi, “We give our approval as well.”
