888 14.164 Last Violet Star Cao Roulans POV.

Devil Fennu and Jin Baihua chose to flee after failing to a.s.sa.s.sinate Jin s.h.i.+yan and Bai Lili after knowing that Hei Anjing could personally come over to defend the Jin Tiangui Sect.

The Jin Tiangui Sects interior...

Only Jin s.h.i.+yan and his wife Bai Lili were able to make it back to the sect alive after successfully utilizing the flare while the enemies were preoccupied. The others perished beyond the formation barrier, whether they were Jin Tiangui Sect elders or Bai Lilis shadow guards.

After eventually collapsing from stress and despair, Bai Lili. Her spouse escorted her back to the bedroom. Once more, Jin s.h.i.+yan invited the other clan chiefs and elders to meet with him. But unlike previously, he now appears worn out and down. He seems to have been very affected by the deaths of the other elders. Everyone could see how dejected Jin s.h.i.+yan was at the moment.

After noticing that practically everyone had a.s.sembled, Jin s.h.i.+yan spoke.

You guys are all here? Then listen to me for the last time. Make your preparation to leave. Once the reinforcement has arrived we will immediately take our leave from this place until then you take your rest. Thats all. Jin s.h.i.+yan said

After stating all of this, he left his seat without further conversation. The remaining Jin Tiangui Sect elders wanted to speak, but they were not given a chance. They also understood the significance of the elders who left with their Sect Master since they were the ones who cared for him until he was an adult, as opposed to those who stayed for the sects prestige and power. They were helpless to prevent him from leaving.

The other sect elders continued to carry out their responsibilities and aid the other disciples and laypeople in adhering to the masters instructions after the sect master had gone. On the other side, Jin s.h.i.+yan had come to see the families of the deceased elders who were his subordinates. He went to each one individually and bowed his head in apology, asking them for forgiveness as their husbands had to make a sacrifice in return for his and his wifes safety because he was unable to protect them.

Although they were saddened to witness their master bow down before them after hearing the news of their spouses death, Jin s.h.i.+yan continue to express regret for being powerless to prevent their departed husband from giving their life, they also felt a little amount of pride in themselves for being as loyal to Jin s.h.i.+yan as their deceased spouse had been to them. Their spouse had chosen the greatest lord they could have.

.....

Jin s.h.i.+yan says, Please hear my promise. Once we get out of this h.e.l.l, I, Jin s.h.i.+yan, promise to protect your families from the elders instead. Once the Sect had been rebuilding your families would still have the position of Elders in my Sect. I will greatly reward each family for their loyalty and shall be treated as this Jin s.h.i.+yans family members.

Sect Master, Thank you! Thank you!

There is no need to thank me. Your spouse had given me their loyalty until the very end. I promise that I shall protect their families until the very end as well. Jin s.h.i.+yan remarked.

We also promise to be loyal only to Young Master Jin s.h.i.+yan and his family until the end!

Meanwhile, in the area where common folks reside, disciples from Jin Tiangui Sect had told them the news.

The disciple announced, The Sect Master and his wife had successfully asked for help outside. We are waiting for the reinforcement to arrive until then everyone here needs to prepare to leave at any time.

Daren, can we ask where we are going to relocate after leaving this place? A civilian asked.

The disciple was good-natured and honestly answered the question despite the difference in their standing, If I heard it correctly we are going to the Western City where the elder brother of Madam Jin lives. The city under the protection of the Lan Zhuayun Sect which houses Chun Hongyun-Jun and Venerable Lord Hei.

As the good news was revealed, everyone was thrilled. Venerable Lord Hei and Chun Hongyun-Jun are well known. They are immortals who came from the Higher Realm to live among normal people like them. In their views, the two are equivalent to G.o.ds.

Okay stop talking and start moving. If someone is not ready by the time we leave it would be your own fault if you were left behind.

Yes, Daren! responded collectively to the commoners who were lucky enough to survive the attacks of the demonic creatures.

The Cao family is one of them, which Cao Roulan rescued from pandemonium. Few of them, including Cao Roulans family members, survived even after she let Baos.h.i.+ take control of her body and lead them to safety. They were aware that she was a demon vessel, but the devil inside of her did not hate humans.

The Demon of Gluttony is regarded as one of the most powerful high-ranking devils in his race, but unlike the other devils, Baos.h.i.+ wasnt very interested in dealing with individuals. He is a coward, to begin with. He cannot bully the strong; only the weak. He is terribly afraid of both the immortals who can kill him and the human cultivators who can injure him. But despite his nature, he ranks among the middle of the seven deadly sins because of his ability to devour nearly anything.

The strongest among the seven deadly sins is clear. It was his highness, Ye Zihao who ruled Pride. The second strongest is Devil Fennu who rules Wrath. The devil that rules Greed Devil Tanlan was ranked third. Gluttony Devil Baos.h.i.+ is fourth. The devil rules l.u.s.t Devil Qingyu is fifth. The sixth is Devil Jidu who rules Envy and the last is the devil who rules Sloth, Devil Shulan.

Devil Shulan is rated last since he is the youngest sibling and has a mental ability rather than a physical one. The ideal situation for him would be to put his prey to sleep. He cannot battle face-to-face unless his opponent has fallen asleep.

Back in the actual world, the Cao Clan was one of the few tiny clans that had made it through the initial demon and devil invasion unscathed. They were able to enter the Jin Tiangui Sect and live thanks to Cao Roulan and Devil Baos.h.i.+s guidance. Yet as time goes on, the sects conditions get weaker. The Sect needed to make sure that their food supply would last until a.s.sistance arrived, therefore the amount of food distributed to the people was restricted.

The lunches are still hearty, and it is clear that Jin s.h.i.+yan had instructed his men to ensure that everyoneincluding the civilianswas fed adequately. One satisfying meal is insufficient for Cao Roulan, the vessel of the Devil of Gluttony, though. She needs to consume at least 100 plates of food to hold back the effects of the contract in order to halt them. Thanks to the food and Gold Jin Baihua gave her in return for the favor, Cao Roulan has just managed to survive up to this point.

She regrets it a great deal, but she also wonders if this demon invasion would have taken place if she hadnt a.s.sisted that cretin in stealing the blood of the Bai Princess. Cao Roulan continued to hold herself accountable to the very end.

One of the Jin Tiangui Sects followers made a statement, and Cao Roulans uncles who were there at the time made the decision to promptly inform the rest of the clan of the information. Hearing that they will eventually arrive at the location where those immortals who exterminated devils dwelt made Cao Roulan a little uneasy. For humans, it was the safest area, but for a demon vessel like Cao Roulan, it was a dead end.

Naturally, as soon as Cao Roulans family found out, they began to worry for her. Also, there are legends that demons, whether they are disguised or not, are rejected by the barrier around the Lan Zhuayun Sect. Would Cao Roulan, a devils vessel, be permitted to enter the Western City?

Cao Roulans mother asked, Rourou, how about it? Do you think you can enter the Western City?

This... I am not sure... Cao Roulan answered honestly.

In her mind, Devil Baos.h.i.+ spoke, [Dont worry. Your body is still human. I will just seal the demonic qi the contract had left in you and conceal myself.]

Are you sure we wouldnt be detected? Cao Roulan asked.

[50-50 that is much I can a.s.sure you. Or you can leave this place. If its just you I can protect you for sure unless Big Brother Zihao wants to kill me, I would be able to protect you all the way.] Devil Baos.h.i.+ said.

Cao Roulan asked in her thoughts, Who is this Big Brother Zihao? Another Devil?

[He is the other son of the King of Devils like the Chun Hongyun-Jun of your race. But unlike the latter he is a pure devil in the bloodline and the strongest among the seven deadly sins.] Devil Baos.h.i.+ explained. [The problem is that he hates the human race. So if ever he saw you even with me by your side we might die. Sorry, Rourou because of me you had to help Brother Fennu and caused this calamity. If not for me you should be freer than walking on thin ice like this.]

Cao Roulan smiled and said to Devil Baos.h.i.+ inside of her, Dont say that. When you come to me you save my life first. You are my savior and my friend. I will never blame you. What happened with Jin Baihua that... That was my mistake. I should have known that they would not use the Bai Princesss blood for something good. I regret helping them.

[Rourou, I...]

Enough! I told you to not blame yourself. We will go with my family to the Western City. If I am able to enter safely then thats good if not... I will repent my sins to the immortals with you. I will never leave you alone!

[...]

Cao Roulan faces his family who look at her worriedly and said, Ive spoken to him. He said I would be fine and that he could hide in me.

Sigh...??e?????o?el. c?

Thats good. Thats great. Now we dont have to separate from your uncles and roam outside the city on our own. Cao Roulans father said.

Even Cao Roulan was taken aback by her fathers comments. She had no idea that her family was considering leaving their clan and following her outside if she decided not to accompany them into the Western City. She felt happy to have such a loving family and even more resentful of Jin Baihua for causing chaos. All along, she had been enjoying a happy and simple life, but Jin Baihua had made the decision to completely ruin everything.

Her brothers hugged her as well as Cao Roulans parents. She can clearly sense the affection his family is showing her as she keeps crying. No, she wasnt at all mistaken. She planned to leave her parents once they found out she had Devil Baos.h.i.+ inside her and was ready to be loathed by them when she made the decision to sign the contract with Devil Baos.h.i.+. Who would have thought that her family would be so eager to welcome her and Devil Baos.h.i.+ unconditionally since they love her so much? Her luckiest stroke in life was this family of hers.

I will protect you no matter what I promise! stated Cao Roulan.

Devil Baos.h.i.+ also declares, [I will also help you protect your family for you, Rourou!]
