Chapter 227 Envoys From The Immortals' League

Cold sweat slid down Zuoqiu Qitian's back without an end. He cursed the fact that he failed to s.n.a.t.c.h Xiao Chen's body; otherwise, he would have the strength of the Apotheosis Realm by now and wouldn't be forced into such a pa.s.sive position. He asked solemnly, "Who are you?"

The red-clothed man stopped laughing. He coughed once, clearing his throat before replying, "Listen well. I'm…"

Bai Susu finished his sentence for him, saying, "The Little Demon King of the Bloodied Fiend Sect a thousand years ago, whose body was destroyed by the then Leader of the Thousand Feathers Sect, Ye Yuexuan. He escaped with his vital soul and regained his body after recuperating for a thousand years. People call him the Bloodied Mad Swordsman..."

The Bloodied Mad Swordsman jumped in anger. Pointing to her, he scolded, "Hey! Don't you know I had to wait a thousand years before I could show my face again? Bai Susu, can you stop stealing my lines? Plus! Even if you're stealing my lines, can you stop being so specific? You're making me lose all my mysterious air!"

Bai Susu shook her head. "Idiot."

The onlookers outside were swept up in a furor. To think that this man was the Great Demon King from back then, Bloodied Mad Swordsman! He had killed countless orthodox experts with his Full Moon Bloodied Blade. What was he doing here?

Zuoqiu Qitian had long gone pale in the face after seeing the sudden appearance of the Demon King from the Bloodied Fiend Sect. In a trembling voice, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Me?" the Bloodied Mad Swordsman pointed to his nose and laughed heartily. "Naturally, I'm here to steal the Fallen Dust Bead! Oh alright. Even though I'd like to stay on the scene for a while longer, you better hand over the Fallen Dust Bead as soon as possible."

Bai Susu frowned as if she was offended by his lack of manners. She shook her head and sighed. "Idiot."

Xiao Chen's eyebrows gathered into a frown as he turned to ask Yi Tong, "Brother Yi, what's this Fallen Dust Bead that he's talking about? And what's that thing about Guardians that Sister Bai talked about?"

Yi Tong whispered, "Thousands of years ago, the Devil Clan was banished to the Realm of Boundless Purgatory. Back then, a Great G.o.d used his spirit energy to blockade the Pond of G.o.ds and Devils, the path connecting both worlds. The spirit energy he left behind transformed into nine Fallen Dust Beads, which scattered to all parts of the world. If you gather all nine beads, you can unleash that Great G.o.d's spirit energy and undo the seal on the Pond of G.o.ds and Devils. When the time comes, hordes of members of the Devil Clan might force their way into the Human World."

"That's why those from the Devil World is h.e.l.l-bent on stealing those Fallen Dust Beads. Back then, the nine beads were placed with nine families for protection. They were called the Guardians and the Zuoqiu family is one of them. I'm not too sure about the rest."

Xiao Chen finally gained some understanding after listening to Yi Tong's lengthy explanation. If nothing else, then this point at least: Unrest was descending upon the Violet Manor. Perhaps the Annihilation Times that Zuoqiu Qitian was talking about was about to arrive.

Zuoqiu Qitian's face was as white as a sheet of paper. He had long expected such a day to come, which was why he was so desperate to s.n.a.t.c.h Xiao Chen's body earlier. Both he and his family wouldn't be able to bear the crime of having their Fallen Dust Bead stolen. His only hope now was Bai Susu.

"Sage Fairy, are you going to watch him steal the Fallen Dust Bead?"

Bai Susu replied placidly, "Of course not." She flicked her sleeve and a malicious shadow flew toward the Bloodied Mad Swordsman.

The Bloodied Mad Swordsman immediately dodged the attack. Behind him, a building instantly dissolved into nothingness. The building wasn't crushed to smithereens but dissolved into nothingness! Shocked, everyone fled far away. Most of the cultivators outside had also run out of the city, giving up their plan to stay and watch the battle.

"Bai Susu, are you going to fight me?! I said this once: Rather be a king in h.e.l.l than a slave in heaven! Look at your current state! The once Bloodied Fairy doesn't even dare to kill a mortal now!"

Bai Susu scoffed. "Aren't you ashamed to say that to me? You went so low as to seek help from the Devil Clan, but have they made you a king?" She shot him with another attack of finger force.

The Bloodied Mad Swordsman swiftly evaded the attack and bellowed, "You! Very well, Bai Susu! Since you won't consider our friends.h.i.+p as former sect mates, then don't blame me for fighting back! Show yourself, Wheel of Bloodied Mirage!"

Following his loud cry, a ma.s.sive rounded blade suddenly appeared in the sky. The blood-colored rounded blade rapidly crashed downward, shrinking as it fell. In the end, it transformed into a b.l.o.o.d.y radiance that swiftly flew toward Bai Susu.

Bai Susu pressed her fingers together and shot three-finger forces in retaliation. Three clanging noises resounded as the blood-stained blade was sent flying.

"Hmph! Wanna fight me? You lack a thousand years' worth of cultivation!"

"Bai Susu, don't be so full of yourself!" the Bloodied Mad Swordsman bellowed. He then sneered and said, "Is that what you're capable of? I think you're weaker than a thousand years ago! What's wrong? Why don't you tell me? I'll listen to you."

"Idiot," Bai Susu scolded, shooting yet another thirteen-finger forces at him. Everywhere her force pa.s.sed, turned into nothingness. While the Blood-stained Mad Swordsman frantically evaded these attacks, one of the forces. .h.i.t his left shoulder. He yelled in anger, "Bai Susu! Are you really going to be so cruel to me?!"

On the other end, Xiao Chen saw that he wasn't capable of interfering in their battle at all. He turned to the twelve ladies behind him and said, "I'm staying here. Can you go in and save someone for me?"

"Give us your orders, Master!"

Instantly, Xiao Chen gave them a description of Gui Xian's appearance. Out of the twelve ladies, six blurred out of view and ran toward the Zuoqiu family estate. The other six stayed behind to protect him.

Fifteen minutes later, the Bloodied Mad Swordsman found himself completely at Bai Susu's mercy. He said resentfully, "Very well, Bai Susu! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Bai Susu sneered. "So you have a little helping hand."

"Yu Linglong, subdue that woman for me!"

The newcomer to the scene was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in red clothing. She looked adorable when she blinked with her large eyes.

"How many times have I reminded you? Call me Princess!"

"Fine, fine, fine! Princess, subdue that woman now!"

"Why should I listen to you?"

"..."

"Fine. Then you must not subdue that woman."

"I'm not listening to you! I'm going to subdue her!"

Bai Susu clasped her forehead and shook her head. "Here comes another idiot..."

"Wicked woman, take this punch!" Yu Linglong's figure blurred out of view as she instantly attacked Bai Susu. Bai Susu was alarmed. Where did this girl come from, to have such terrifying power? She hastily retreated as a large pit appeared where she once stood.

"You cannot run! Take this!" Yu Linglong attacked her again, but abruptly, she came to a stop. She seemed to have spotted the nearby Xiao Chen, who was watching with a dumbstruck expression.

"Wow, what a handsome guy!" she said as she ran over to Xiao Chen.

Immediately, the six ladies stepped forward to stop her but the girl made a light swipe with her hand and sent all of them flying.

"Um... Elder Brother, what's your name?" Yu Linglong hung onto a nearly petrified Xiao Chen, rubbing against his arm nonstop.

"Pff!" the Bloodied Mad Swordsman couldn't help coughing up blood after taking Bai Susu's. .h.i.t. He yelled lividly, "Hey, are you an idiot?! Get this straight! We're the villains, alright?! They're our enemies!"

Yu Linglong ignored him and kept holding onto Xiao Chen's arm. She said in a coy voice, "Elder Brother, I heard the Human World is filled with amusing things. Why don't you take me around and play?" She kept winking at him.

"Um... Little girl, are you lost? The Human World is full of danger. You should leave as soon as possible..." Xiao Chen finally recovered his senses.

"No way. Elder Brother, you haven't told me your name!"

"Pff!" Bloodied Mad Swordsman once again coughed up blood. "Oh, G.o.d! Empress Raksasa, your daughter is going to run off with a man! Show yourself and take her home with you immediately! Pff!" Blood sprayed from his mouth again.

Bai Susu frowned, thinking to herself, "This girl is Princess Raksasa? Could the rumors be true, that she suffered a head injury after taking a hit from Heavenly Emperor's Xuanyuan Sword in the ancient war?"

"Hey, who are you?! Release Brother Xiao Chen right now!" Murong Xian'er could no longer restrain herself.

A gust of wind swept a troubled Xiao Chen. Before the two of them could start quarreling, he managed to convince them to calm down.

"Sigh. Sure enough, it's useless to send these two..."

Suddenly, the sound of a sigh drifted from the eastern horizon. Two figures flew over and landed on the ground. One of them was as pale as a sheet of paper, resembling a dead person. The other was shrouded in black Qi and was emanating layer upon layer of dead Qi. The one who spoke earlier was the pale-looking man.

"Let us introduce ourselves, as always. I'm Ye Wuxin of the Corpse Refinery Sect."
