Chapter 170: He Sent Them to Silence Me (Bonus Chapter)
Sang Luo was dumbfounded. She almost forgot that Emperor-rank Beastmen could summon their offspring.
“Xiao Qi was born from me, why can't I see him?”
“I revived him, it has nothing to do with you.”
“If it weren't for you, how would the child have had an accident? How could my daughter have become like that? How dare you question me!”
Caesar's expression darkened, and he disappeared with the child on the spot.
“You bastard!”
He runs away when he can't win an argument, right?!
Sang Luo almost fainted from anger.
Fei Yuan grabbed her hand and sighed, “Let's go back first.”
“I! I'm really not willing to accept this!”
“That sentence of his was just to scare you. When you advance to the Emperor-rank, you can also summon offspring.”
That's true. Sang Luo finally felt a little better.
Misfortunes never come singly. On the way back, the two encountered a demonic beast attack.
After Fei Yuan dealt with a wave of demonic beasts, more and more demonic beasts emerged. He turned to look at Sang Luo, “Xiao Luo'er, I have to tell you something… When I fought the Southern Beast King, I saw demonic energy on him.”
“You mean to say that these demonic beasts were sent by him to silence me!” Sang Luo's expression became even more unsightly, and she wished she could bite her silver teeth to pieces.
Fei Yuan hesitated, “It's not that serious. You are, after all, the child's mother.”
Sang Luo raised her head and stared straight at Fei Yuan, “I'll ask you a question, and you must answer honestly! In the eyes of you males, are offspring more important than the females who give birth to them? Much, much more important, right?”
“This… For me, if it's not a beloved partner, then that's indeed the case.”
“……”
“However, your actions this time were indeed a bit reckless. Innate King-tier beast offspring are rare, especially after advancing to the Beast Emperor realm, it's almost impossible to have more offspring. Offspring are the greatest taboo for any Beast Emperor. If anyone wants to harm the child or snatch the child away, they will only meet death.” Fei Yuan said to her, “Even if you are the child's biological mother beast, it might not be an exception.”
Sang Luo's expression was ugly, “Then that just means that he wants to monopolize the child, afraid that I'll snatch him away, so he's trying to kill me!”
Sang Luo charged into the demonic beast horde, and wails echoed everywhere.
Fei Yuan knew that she needed an outlet to vent her emotions, so he didn't take action. He only said, “Xiao Luo'er, keep these demonic crystals, don't waste them. Collect them and take them back. I can remove the demonic energy. They're no different from ordinary beast crystals. You can use them to nurture the child during your pregnancy.”
Upon hearing this, Sang Luo became even more energetic and summoned a lotus folding fan.
The power of the Phoenix Truefire was attached to the magical artifact, becoming several times stronger. A phoenix cry faintly echoed in the flames!
The intense flames in the shape of a fire phoenix spread out, and hundreds of demonic beasts instantly turned into black mist, leaving behind a large number of beast crystals.
Sang Luo put all the beast crystals into her Qiankun bag and threw it to Fei Yuan in the distance, “Catch it!”
Fei Yuan raised his hand and steadily caught the Qiankun bag. He glanced at her left side, “There are a few hidden King-tier demonic beasts. Be careful.”
“Yeah, I don't care what kind of demonic beast it is. Below the King-tier, I'll kill them all the same!” Sang Luo's mental power covered the entire area. The folding fan in her palm transformed into a long sword. Without even looking, she slashed the sword at the demonic beast that was trying to ambush her from the left, splitting it in two.
“Xiao Luo'er is very powerful~”
Fei Yuan glanced around. Tens of thousands of demonic beasts of various shapes were ready to attack. Most of them were below the King-tier, with only a hundred or so King-tier demonic beasts. With Sang Luo's strength having risen to the peak of the King-tier and the blessing of the Phoenix Truefire, she was extremely lethal to demonic beasts, so he wasn't too worried.
Suddenly, Fei Yuan's eyes sharpened, and he disappeared from the spot, appearing at the other end of the forest.
He intercepted a wicked man with black clothes and brown hair halfway.
“Void Demon Realm, one of the Seven Demon Envoys, Mi Xing.”
Mi Xing gritted his teeth, “Central Phoenix Emperor, it's you again!”
Fei Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said in a light voice, “You ran away from the palace last night. I didn't expect you to come to my door voluntarily.”
“Mind your own business! I'll kill you later!”
Mi Xing retreated a few meters, took out a dozen puppets of different appearances, and the puppets instantly transformed into the appearance of beastmen, surrounding him.
At the same time, Mi Xing sacrificed a black chain in his hand, like a venomous snake shooting out, breaking open a corner of the void and rushing towards Sang Luo in the distance.
The next second, the flames blasted the puppets into pieces.
The sword light fell!
One of Mi Xing's arms was chopped off, and the chain was also split into several pieces, falling to the ground.
Mi Xing's face twisted, and he cursed in a low voice. With his other hand, he sacrificed a chaotic water mirror, which skyrocketed a hundred or a thousand times in size, like a giant screen, covering the sky and the sun.
Fei Yuan was trapped under the water mirror.
His figure was reflected in the mirror. The next second, an identical Fei Yuan walked out of the mirror.
The Fei Yuan in the mirror had an unusually dull look in his eyes, but his strength was exactly the same as the Emperor-rank. His moves and movements were perfectly replicated.
The two fought each other, evenly matched.
Mi Xing, “Opening the Mirror of Non-Being consumes a lot of energy. It was originally intended to be used when preparing the grand feast at the Imperial Palace, but if I can take down the Central Phoenix Emperor in advance, it wouldn't be a wasted effort… After your energy is exhausted, I'll solve you with one strike!”
“Xiao Yuan, do you need my help? I brought the Illusion-Breaking Awl you wanted from the clan.” In mid-air, a somewhat lazy and casual young voice appeared, as if he had just woken up.
Fei Yuan, “If you want to come out, hurry up and come out, don't hide in the dark.”
A young man with green hair and a red robe appeared in the air. A golden awl shot out from his hand and pierced the mirror surface, and the water mirror instantly shattered.
Last night, Mi Xing couldn't hold his breath and planned to attack the weakest Western Beast Emperor first, but he accidentally leaked demonic energy, attracting the attention of Fei Yuan and Lou Tian. The two joined forces, but he still managed to escape.
However, the two used this wisp of demonic energy to discover a Mirror of Non-Being hidden in a pool in the harem of the Teng Snake Imperial Palace in advance.
The Bifang Clan happened to have an Illusion-Breaking Awl that could be used, so Fei Yuan asked Lou Tian to return to the clan first.
Mi Xing knew that his plan had been exposed and tried to run away while taking advantage of the situation, but his head was chopped off with one strike and disappeared.
……
Fei Yuan came back.
Sang Luo had killed almost all the demonic beasts and was sitting on a smooth boulder gnawing on fruit. Seeing him come back, she casually asked, “Where did you go just now?”
“I took care of some small troubles.”
Sang Luo filled three Qiankun bags with demonic crystals and threw them to him, “Help me refine them.”
“Okay.”
Fei Yuan caught sight of the blood on her arm and chest, his face darkened as he walked forward and grabbed her arm.
Sang Luo had killed so many demonic beasts, and the injuries on her body were not insignificant. Black energy was wrapped around the wounds, and blood was still flowing down, “You fought so fiercely, don't you know it hurts when you're injured?”
“……” After her mind calmed down, she did feel the pain.
Fei Yuan patiently helped her remove the black energy and fed her a medicinal pill. The wound quickly recovered as before, without even leaving a scar.
Sang Luo, “What did you mean before when you said that the demonic energy on the Southern Beast Emperor's body was? Does he have a connection with the demonic beasts, or…?”
“The demonic energy on his body is extremely pure. It's not that he accidentally got contaminated with the demonic energy of other demonic beasts, but it's his own demonic energy.”
“He, has he fallen into demonhood?” The green fruit in Sang Luo's hand fell to the ground, and she didn't know what expression to make for a while.
“Yes, it's not necessarily his intention to attack you. He may not be able to control himself at all.”
“……”
“Back then, Xiao Ye almost fell into demonhood. Do you know why I wanted to stop him?”
“Didn't you say that after A Ye becomes a demon, he won't be able to advance to the Emperor-rank in this lifetime?”
Fei Yuan shook his head, “Falling into demonhood doesn't mean you can't cultivate. On the contrary, after falling into demonhood, demonic beasts are often stronger than beastmen of the same realm.”
He said, “Beast cultivation emphasizes righteousness, while demonic cultivation is the opposite. You must have an extremely evil and murderous heart. The most taboo thing is being half righteous and half evil… Xiao Ye is a very righteous child. If he falls into demonhood, he simply can't follow the path of a demonic beast, which is equivalent to ruining him.”
“Then he…”
“The Southern Beast Emperor is already at the Emperor-rank. His heart is already a chaotic demonic heart, and he can't come back.”
