Thus, I began my mad revenge.
I searched everywhere for people connected to her sect and killed them one by one.
My reputation grew worse and worse. I became the great demon head that everyone in the Nine Heavens feared at the mere mention of my name.
But I knew that none of this could heal the trauma in my heart. I had lost her forever…
The voice of the Red Cloud Demon Lord choked up. Tears welled in his eyes.
Chen Ping listened quietly to the Red Cloud Demon Lord’s tale. His heart filled with emotion.
He had not expected this seemingly bold and carefree Red Cloud Demon Lord to have such a heart-wrenching love story.
Chen Ping gazed at the two heart-shaped patterns in the corner. His expression grew more focused. He noticed that these two simple heart patterns faintly gave off a mysterious aura.
Chen Ping stepped closer for a careful look. He found faint spiritual power fluctuations on the patterns.
“Senior, these two heart patterns seem unusual,” Chen Ping said, pointing at them.
“What is unusual about them?” The Red Cloud Demon Lord was stunned.
“These two heart patterns actually have faint spiritual power fluctuations. They do not seem like simple patterns,” Chen Ping said.
“Spiritual power fluctuations?” The Red Cloud Demon Lord was stunned. “Why can I not sense them?”
“You are now just a wisp of remnant soul, so of course you cannot sense them. When the Ling Yue Immortal drew these two patterns back then, there must have been other meanings to them. You simply did not notice.”
Chen Ping said.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord fell into thought. So many years had passed. He had no idea what those meanings could be.
“Enough. Do not think about it for now. Return to my sea of consciousness, or your soul will grow even weaker. Then restoring your physical body will be much harder.”
Chen Ping sent the Red Cloud Demon Lord back into his own sea of consciousness.
He then entered the Demon Suppressing Tower to begin cultivating. Luckily, he had Mu Fa Wang’s storage bag. It contained plenty of resources, just right for his cultivation.
…
Guan Jun led several disciples towards the Yan Luo Heavenly Sect’s outpost.
At that moment, a Yan Luo Heavenly Sect disciple beside her spoke up. “Senior Sister, Master sent us to fetch that Chen Ping. If we return like this without bringing him, will Master punish us?”
Guan Jun looked at the disciple. Her face darkened. “Shi Hun Zun, Li Huo Demon Lord. Which of them can we handle?”
The disciple fell silent.
Seeing the disciple say nothing, Guan Jun went on. “Those few auras just now were all at the peak of the ninth rank of the Human Immortal Realm. With that level of strength, could we few cope?”
The disciple stayed silent.
“Once we get back, you few say nothing. I will explain to Master. I will say that Chen Ping was under pursuit. We few could not hold off his pursuers.”
“In that case, Master cannot say much more. Besides, if we truly bring that Chen Ping to our Yan Luo Heavenly Sect, our sect may face utter destruction.”
Guan Jun went on.
“We follow Senior Sister’s arrangements in all things,” all the disciples said.
Guan Jun nodded. In truth, when she had clashed with Mu Fa Wang of the Evil Dao Hall earlier, it was to take Chen Ping to the Yan Luo Heavenly Sect.
But along the way, Chen Ping said he had also offended Shi Hun Zun and Li Huo Demon Lord.
Only upon hearing those two names did Guan Jun truly feel fear.
Moreover, those few experts at the peak of the ninth rank of the Human Immortal Realm just now were clearly after Chen Ping. Chen Ping had so many enemies. They were all formidable figures, ones even the Yan Luo Heavenly Sect could not afford to cross. Bringing Chen Ping back would only drag their sect into crisis.
Though Chen Ping had burned the golden scroll and should gain the Yan Luo Heavenly Sect’s protection.
Protection had its limits in the end. When strength fell short, no golden scroll would be of any use.
