Chapter 868 - 868 14.144 Last Violet Star - Family Dinner
868 14.144 Last Violet Star Family Dinner
Xia Jieye and Hei Wan were freed from the kitchen by their wives when someone sent a disciple to invite them to the main peak for a small celebration to welcome the prestigious guests from the Upper Realms. The feast had been adequately prepared by the elders to be at least aesthetically pleasing, but the majority of the cuisine was something Hei Anjing would like to eat. It wouldnt be good if the smell of food made pregnant Hei Anjing feel ill.
Hei Wan, Bai Hua, Hei Anjing, and Xia Jieye all sat at the same table. The Fan Family had also joined them, along with Yun Huaxia, Bai Qiyin, Father Yun, Uncle Yun, and others. Hei Wan and Bai Hua greeted Xue Yueguang and his family as soon as they arrived, behaving as if they were the Hei Familys elders. The Immortal Empress had, after all, originated from the Xue Clan.
Hei Wan greets Uncle Xue and Uncle Fan.
Bai Hua greets Third Uncle and Uncle Fan.
Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya lowered their heads in welcome after accepting the salutations of the two juniors. Despite the fact that they were this couples seniors, they also had the status of royalty in the Upper Realm.
Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya said, We greet King Wuan and his Lord Consort Bai!
There is no need for such formality, we are not in the Palace after all, said Hei Wan while his wife helped the elders to raise their heads.
Xue Yueguang said, Well, that is also true. Your Highness, how are my eldest sister and the Emperor?
Please be at ease. Everything in the Palace had returned to normal after mother exited her seclusion. All the officials and ministers who caused a ruckus at the time had been dealt with by the Imperial Mother, stated Hei Wan.
.....Please visit ????w??????l. c?
Bai Hua says, We are here to help with the preparation of Xiao Jing and Ye Xiajies Dao Ceremony and also to check on Xiao Jings situation. It was quite a surprise when he learned he was pregnant. Immortals had a hard time conceiving after all.
Actually, the Imperial Father and Imperial Mother wanted to descend themselves to check on Xiao Jing but... We took over and went down before they could. They would definitely attend the Dao Ceremony of my younger brother so I hope everyone would welcome them as warmly as now, said Hei Wan.
We will be your highness! said the Supreme Elder, Yun Xiayu.
Bai Hua asked, You guys are...
Please pardon our late introductions. We are Yun Xiajies mortal clan. I am his older brother, Yun Huaxia. This is our father, Yun Huajie, and my uncle, Yun Xiayu. As well as my Dao companion, Bai Qiyin.
The Yun Clan was received with the utmost reverence by Hei Wan and Bai Hua. After all, they now know that the Immortal Emperor was the source of the Lan Zhuayun Sect. The Hei Caln claimed this location to be their Ancestral Domain and he was one of the sects founders. The Yun Clan are treated as protectors of this Ancient Land.
The First King Wan spoke, Let me thank the Yun Clan for protecting this Ancestral Land. The Imperial Father would definitely be delighted if the place which can be considered his origins still exists now.
The Lan Zhuayun Sect can be considered as an Ancestral Domain under the Regal Hei Clans protection. We shall make sure that nothing shall destroy this place now that we are sure that the Immortal Emperor had founded this place, said Bai Hua.
Hei Wan says, Imperial Father is like anyone in this sect. He is proficient in using the sword and guqin. Jieye is actually the Imperial Fathers direct disciple as well.
Everyone from the Lan Zhuayun Sect was shocked to hear things about their founder. To think that their Sect was considered as an Ancestral Land of the Royal Family from the Upper Realms means that theyve accepted them under their wings. They would become a Sect with connections to the Upper Realm like the Bai Lengshui Sect.
More surprisingly, they discovered that the Second Young Master of the Yun Clan was the Immortal Emperors direct disciple during his time as an immortal. This indicates that Xia Jieye was directly trained by the founder and was also aware of his appearance.
When everyone turned to look at Xia Jieye, they witnessed him serving Hei Anjing wholeheartedly while giving him a loving smile and helping him obtain food from the plates. The pair were eating so intently that they were oblivious to the conversations taking on at the table next to them.
Hei Anjing spoke, AXia, I want more braised pork!
Hm. Here you go. Baby, eat slowly you might choke, said Xia Jieye.
My love, eat a lot too. I had enough on my bowl already~
When Xia Jieye observed the eyes turning to him, the two were still lost in their own world. He encountered many sets of eyes fixed on him.
Instead, he reacted indifferently. What? Xia Jieye questioned.
Do you know who founded our sect? Father Yun questioned his son.
You mean Master? Yes. He was the one who told me to reincarnate in a family within the Lan Zhuayun Sect. He told me to protect it while Im in the mortal realm. He should come over during My and Jingers Dao Ceremony. He would be happy to see our Sect, said Xia Jieye as he returned his gaze to his wife. Do you want some mooncakes, baby?
There are some? asked Hei Anjing with beaming eyes. He loves the moon cake created in this world.
Of course. I bought it for you, said Xia Jieye as he waved his hands and a freshly baked mooncake appeared in thin air and was served to his wife. Be careful. Its hot.
The seniors and family members couldnt help but smile helplessly as they saw the pair neglecting them once more. When these two are together, they are accustomed to being neglected and fed dog food as usual.
Hei Wan spoke, Well, forgive my younger brother for his rudeness...
No. No. I hope to apologize to my younger brother as well, said Yun Huaxia.
Bai Hua said, Well, we can let them be for now. How about we talk about the preparation for their Dao Ceremony instead? We had finished eating our supper after all.
Then lets change places. Please follow me, said Father Yun.
Those who were left behind are still eating in the hallway. Instead of following the others, Xue Yueguang and his family continued their meals. They were aware that the two families had a wide range of topics to discuss.
In the meanwhile, not far from the Western Citys limits.
The cultivators had a.s.sembled in great numbers. The majority of them were from small sects and minor clans of rogue and ordinary cultivators. They had gathered all day today in an effort to put pressure on the Lan Zhuayun Sect to turn over the Devil Kings son.
The whole Mortal Realm is being plagued by additional rumors. It concerns Chun Hongyun-Jun with the Devil Race. Demonic monsters began a.s.saulting towns and villages for unexplained reasons, particularly the outlying ones that were fairly apart from the five major cities. These demonic ent.i.ties sprang from the ground and began destroying little settlements, utterly ruining them. However, not everyone was slain; some were treated as though they were being tortured and occasionally returned when humans had to rebuild their houses.
Has everyone gathered?
Not all yet... There is still someone coming tomorrow.
Then lets wait for them. The more people came over the higher the possibility of our success.
How are Lord Xin and the rest doing?
They are resting temporarily and entering mediation. They say to leave the barrier to them. They had other ways to destroy it for us.
Thats good. That barrier is truly weird. It is able to detect thoughts and malice. Anyone that touches it is burned on the spot. Just how cruel is the devils sp.a.w.n.
There shouldnt be any more problems. As long as we are able to enter the barrier we should be able to complete our mission.
The death of that devils sp.a.w.n should be enough to calm the sadness and rage of our race.
Tsk! The Five Great Sects are just turtles! They arent even willing to help us kill the Devil!!!
What can we do? The ident.i.ty of that devil is quite high. He is the Great Elder of the Lan Zhuayun Sect!
That Lan Zhuayun Sect is colluding with the Devil Race. They should be destroyed after all!
Thats right. Everyone in the Lan Zhuayun Sect is a devil!!!
Enemy of Humanity!
According to rumors, all devils and demons will depart the mortal realm as long as Chun Hongyun-Jun pa.s.ses away or goes back to the Infernal Regions, where the Devil Race resides. Due to the fact that they all had the same objectives, human cultivators chose to go as a group after gathering their strongest individuals.
Some of them are immortals who pose as mortals and encourage the humans who wish to a.s.sa.s.sinate Chun Hongyun-Jun. The Upper Realm expelled these immortals. They would undoubtedly identify any member of the Hei Regal Clan. Since the majority of them had previously served as officials and ministers and had fled the Immortal Empresss ma.s.sacre.
A group of old cultivators was comfortably listening to the cheering of the humans outside in a secret tent where the aforementioned Lord Xin and his companions were gathering. On their aged faces, each of them wears a scornful expression. They obviously have a low opinion of these humans, as though they were once immortal themselves.
The Hei Regal Clan ceased pursuing them after forcibly weakening their cultivation and retreating to the Mortal Realm. They were considering additional ways to take the Throne of the Heavenly Domain while they were trying to hide in the Lower Realm.
These mortals are stupid. Dont they even know that the one they called Chun Hongyun-Jun is the G.o.d of Judgment that protects their realm?
Heh~ what can they know? How do you expect these ants that can never reach ascension to know things about the Heavenly Domain.
They are useful as dispensable tools. As long as they take the attention of the G.o.d of Judgment we should be able to sneak an attack at him and possibly kill him in the end.
I wonder how would our dear Emperor would react if he learned that his only disciple was killed by us! Hehe~
He shouldnt have treated us like that. He allowed a woman to take control of the court and allowed her to do what she wanted. He killed a lot of our family members! That Vicious Empress!
But we indeed weakened the Royal Clan by a notch. The G.o.d of Punishment was imprisoned in Purgatory and no one would be able to come out unless their prison period is done. Who would have expected that brain-dead Immortal Emperor to sentence his own sons imprisonment for 10 years? A year in that place equates to 100 years. Wouldnt the proud king still end crippled after 1000 years of torture both physically and mentally?
If we successfully kill the G.o.d of Judgment in the Mortal World and destroy the barrier around the Mortal Realm with the Devil race entering the field it should be much easier for us to reenter the Upper Realms.
When that happens we should completely clean up both the Xue and Hei Bloodlines.
These immortals were completely unaware that Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue had opted to return home after learning of their Lord Heis second pregnancy. The fact that these two systems returned at this precise moment and saw the covert gathering not far from the city where their masters are is purely coincidental.
As they sensed several cultivation stages that shouldnt be existing in the Mortal Realm, they made the decision to check on the group. Who would have thought they would overhear them discussing Lord Hei and what had occurred to him before they arrived in this world?
Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue both had menacing looks on their faces. When they came into this realm, Lord Hei was already in Purgatory. They were unaware of the length of time he had endured that suffering, and their master didnt tell them anything. Initially, they believed the time was short, but now they see how naive they were.
Zhi Yue mumbled, 1000 years. Lord Hei had to suffer that long in that place!? No wonder his vessel had eased and even his soul was almost fading. I thought it was because he was injured badly in the last world, thats why Lord Heis soul was so weak. So it was because his weakened soul was further tortured for a f.u.c.king millennium! Did the Lord G.o.d know about this!?
Yueer, place a tracking imprint on these men. We should leave their punishment to the Lord G.o.d, said Zhi Yang.
Will be done.
The covert wrath of Zhi Yues other self was palpable. He was aware that things would not go well for these guys. After the Lord G.o.d is finished with them, it is likely that their souls will perish forever. He now had a genuine desire to return home and visit Lord Hei. They are quite concerned that he may have experienced something. They also needed to inform the Lord G.o.d of this issue.
