I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 26

Xiuzhe, also known as Yuwen Xiuzhe, was the Other Tribe’s Left Sage King as well as their chieftain’s biological younger brother. Be it his status or strength, he was the number two man who was just inferior to the tribe’s Chieftain. He served only one man and was the dictator of everyone else.

The Other Tribe’s unrivaled absolute art, Edict of Black Death, had been cultivated by Xiuzhe to an unprecedented stage. In his hands, this absolute art was further innovated and developed, resulting in a stronger version as compared to the predecessors.

Xiuzhe had also relied on this to become one of the Five Emperors in the Divine Province, standing at the top as one of the true experts. Even if the Three Sovereigns wanted to defeat him, they would need to spend some effort.

Back then, Xiuzhe was defeated by the Demon Cult Master, and it resulted in severe injuries. The Left Sage King, Xiuzhe, had since then been bearing this hatred and never forgot about taking revenge.

That the alliance army to conquer the demons could be established was partly due to the East Sea’s Wang Clan Head, who desired to compete in sword skills against the Vermilion Bird Hall Chief. The other factor was because of the Other Tribe’s Left Sage King, Xiuzhe’s personal vengeance against the Demon Cult Master.

Otherwise, the Northern Desert Other Tribe would probably have been willing to just watch as the battle between the Central Province’s orthodox factions and the Southern Desolate Demon Cult resulted in losses on both sides. They would also prefer for the Demon Cult’s elder faction to have an internal strife with its youth faction.

Left Sage King, Xiuzhe’s target was Chen Luoyang himself. He didn’t really care about the Demon Cult Shrine’s Heaven Demon Blood Tree or the other treasures.

It was outside of everyone’s expectation for Chen Luoyang to personally lead the expedition to Shu Prefecture. After quickly driving out the old and making a clean sweep of Shu Prefecture, he immediately returned to the Demon Cult Shrine.

After obtaining this information, Xiuzhe didn’t retreat and was actually having a stronger battle intent. He immediately gave up marching south and went west to obstruct his target.

“It is very possible for us to encounter Xiuzhe and his subordinates at Qian Prefecture,” Xiao Yuntian said while being enveloped in moving wind. “The current information is that Xiuzhe’s subordinates, the Ten Gallants, are accompanying him on the expedition.”

The Ten Gallants were the elite experts under the Left Sage King. If they were in the outside world, each of them would be able to rule over a land; however, they willingly submitted to Xiuzhe.

“Xiuzhe might be powerful, but he is still a defeated foe under the Cult Master’s hands. There is nothing to be afraid of.” Vajra flattered as he spoke from the side.

Chen Luoyang had an indifferent expression, but he wanted to roll his eyes in his heart.

Which great Cult Master gave me this rotten situation again? I have been studying the Stake All Technique and am gradually becoming proficient. However, the Left Sage King is one of the Five Emperors. Will I be able to deal with him in a single move?

Chen Luoyang thought in his heart and communicated with the black pot.

Information on this Left Sage King, Xiuzhe?

The blood-red serum in the black pot decreased and increased again without a change in quantity. There were no blood words, meaning that the amount of blood-red serum wasn’t enough. Was it because Xiuzhe was of the martial emperor level?

I need more blood-red serum…

Chen Luoyang pondered.

“Cult Master has unrivaled divine prowess and is naturally not afraid of a mere defeated foe.” Zhang Tianheng frowned and said, “But that useless king cultivated the Edict of Black Death, which is very troublesome. When executed at full power, the spread of contamination is extremely extensive. The Qian Prefecture is our Divine Cult’s territory and destroying it would be rather unfortunate.”

A contest between martial emperors could reach an extensive range. When the battle was intense, it would be normal for the battle to extend up to thousands of kilometers.

It was why the Demon Cult Master and the Sword Pavilion Lord had arranged their battle in the Snow Domain Plateau, which had few signs of human habitation.

“Xiuzhe is indeed inferior to the Cult Master,” Xiao Yuntian’s voice echoed, “but we still have to be cautious against the Sword Sovereign and the Saber Sovereign.”

They didn’t know if the Sword Sovereign was fully recovered, and they didn’t know if the Saber Sovereign was really out of seclusion. Even until now, there was still no accurate information, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Even with the Demon Cult’s well-developed information network, it was hard to discover anything within a short period of time.

“Reporting to Cult Master, Xiuzhe is just a defeated foe of yours. Why do we have to bother about the barking of a defeated dog?” Enveloped in a moving wind, Xiao Yuntian was visibly bowing as he said, “Why don’t we hurry back to the shrine. If Xiuzhe dares to visit the shrine, his outcome will be the same as before, and he will be defeated by Cult Master once again.”

“Yuntian, you have given it a lot of thought,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently on his throne.

Xiao Yuntian said, “Cult Master already has a plan in mind and is just checking through our suggestions. I am merely putting forward my modest ideas.”

Chen Luoyang tapped his finger on the armrest and said, “Continue advancing. We don’t have to bother. If we encounter them on the way, we will just casually deal with them.”

“Yes, we shall comply with Cult Master’s orders!” Xiao Yuntian and the others replied in unison before asking to be excused.

Zhang Tianheng moved out a little later as he sought approval from Chen Luoyang. “Cult Master, about that Xie Xingmang, do you want me to knock him around?”

“Just lock him up and don’t bother about him for now,” Chen Luoyang said casually.

Zhang Tianheng acknowledged before withdrawing from the hall.

When there was no one else in the hall, Chen Luoyang leaned back on the throne and contemplated.

I have already made my declaration. If I really encounter that Other Tribe’s Left Sage King, how should I deal with him?

Chen Luoyang sighed in his heart.

According to the information from the Azure Dragon Hall, the news of Chen Luoyang successfully taking down Huayan Temple and Shu Prefecture was indeed very shocking to the Grand Divine Province.

There were plenty of people who were alarmed. The Demon Sovereign was still so aggressive after the battle with the Sword Sovereign?! It was a pity that the launched arrow could never turn back.

The alliance army to conquer the demons had already been formed. If they were to break up now, they would be the laughing stock of everyone, and it would give a boost to the Demon Cult’s prestige.

Therefore, this battle was inevitable. However, it didn’t mean there was no way for the Demon Cult to put in more effort. After all, the alliance army wasn’t entirely united. When facing danger and pressure, humans would always have the idea to protect themselves first.

As such, there was a possibility for the alliance army to fall into a hopeless situation. Then, even if they didn’t split apart thoroughly, it would still be hard for them to unite again.

With a more aggressive Demon Cult, it would cause the members of the alliance army to start developing their own little schemes.

Chen Luoyang’s eyes were growing increasingly sharp. During the battle for the Shu Prefecture, he didn’t personally make a move. There were still plenty of people that were feeling suspicious and believed it was a fluke.

Even if it was a bluff, Chen Luoyang achieving success by leading the army personally would definitely increase the deterrence towards others.

I might encounter that Other Tribe’s Left Sage King, and I might have to face a challenge myself. I have to respond cautiously…

Chen Luoyang plotted carefully.

But apart from those, there were still other methods that could be used.

He knocked on the jade pendant and summoned Azure Dragon 3. “Ask the Azure Dragon Hall’s infiltrators on the other side to be prepared. Ask them to wait for orders before acting.”

Azure Dragon 3 bowed and said, “This subordinate understands.”

Xiao Yuntian wasn’t able to capture Nie Hua. The information of Elder Mingjing joining the Demon Cult would quickly spread out. For this chess piece to be exposed was more or less a little wasteful.

However, looking from another angle, it was also a good thing that this matter was exposed. It would prove a rumor that was circulating in the Grand Divine Province: “In the Demon Cult’s Azure Dragon Hall, with regards to their Three Dragons, all of them are venerable members of prestigious factions. They have secretly joined the Demon Cult and are staying concealed.”

Before this, people could feel at ease, knowing that this was just a rumor from the Demon Cult and that they were just instigating and sowing dissension.

Right now, there was the case of Elder Mingjing, and it proved that it was true! As such, it was unavoidable, and everyone was in danger. Now that the seeds of suspicion had been sowed, it was difficult to remove them.

Doubts like… Were there only Three Dragons? Apart from the Three Dragons, perhaps there were many other Demon Cult experts that had infiltrated the various factions.

An invisible threat was normally more effective and lethal than a visible weapon.

Chen Luoyang silently considered his plan, while the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage flew out of the Shu Prefecture and was officially entering the territory of the Qian Prefecture.

One day later, someone from outside came in to report.

It was Protector Kuafu, Wang Dubao, who requested an audience. He had been paving the road ahead as a vanguard and said that he had noticed traces of the Other Tribe.

After obtaining Chen Luoyang’s approval, the hunchbacked and skinny figure walked into the main hall. It was none other than Wang Dubao, but when he entered, Chen Luoyang felt something wrong.

Wang Dubao’s eyes flashed with a trace of blood light before he flew up from the ground and charged at Chen Luoyang!
