I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 58

While looking at the young lady in front of him, Chen Luoyang felt it was rather interesting.

Why does this girl seem like she has the potential of becoming a righteous person with a dark personality?

He said indifferently, “Good and bad, right and wrong, benevolent and malevolent. Are you really able to differentiate it?”

Ying Qingqing answered, “It is hard to differentiate if a person is good or bad. But acts of kindness and evil are very distinct.”

“So by telling a lie to rescue someone, is it a kind act or an evil act?” Chen Luoyang asked casually.

“I believe that rescuing someone is a good thing, but lying is bad.” Ying Qingqing twitched her lips and said, “But I could not think of a better way at that moment…” She lowered her head and looked rather sad.

Chen Luoyang looked at her while feeling amused. “The objective is correct, but the process is unscrupulous. Are you not able to accept that?”

Ying Qingqing mumbled, “To be unscrupulous while conducting a good act might end up looking benevolent, but once a person is used to it, that first act of evil would become easier to carry out. Perhaps some people might think that they can persevere with their own ideals and that my worries are because of weakness…”

Chen Luoyang said indifferently, “Due to Xiuzhe’s Black Death Divine Pearl, it claimed thousands of lives in my cult’s sacred Qian Prefecture. It turned thousands of kilometers of land into a land of the dead. In order to contest with my cult, the Sword Pavilion worked with Xiuzhe. Do you feel it is an act of kindness or evil?”

“I think that Fifth Sir and the others are looking at the bigger picture. They feel that if they defeat Cult Master Chen and the Ancient Divine Cult, they will be able to rescue more people,” Ying Qingqing answered. “But if it was me, I wouldn’t be able to do it.”

Chen Luoyang looked at the young lady and let out a faint laugh. “Have you thought about the possibility that before you lost your memories, you might have been even more ruthless and crueler than This Seat and Xiuzhe?”

The young lady was startled and fell into silence for a long while before she replied softly, “I did think about it… but I didn’t dare to think too much.”

It was the first time she looked just like a chick that had just emerged from the egg.

Chen Luoyang tapped his finger on the armrest.

He didn’t continue the topic and said, “If This Seat had killed Xie Xingmang when I found out that you crippled your own sword dao cultivation, would you have continued to hide the fact that you can restore your cultivation at any time?”

“I wouldn’t.” Ying Qingqing didn’t look dispirited anymore and replied in a frank manner, “I am indebted to Cult Master Chen. I might wish to help in the rescue of Fourth Sir, but no matter the outcome, I still have to repay you.”

The young lady had a serious expression. Chen Luoyang took a glance at her and said, “Ordinary people always like to assume things that are beyond their capabilities, and you have been influenced by them.”

Chen Luoyang smiled and said, “Do you think that This Seat really needs your Clear Sky Divine Sword as they said?”

The young lady was startled. When she came back to her senses, she said, “It is naturally the best if Cult Master Chen’s body is healthy. However, the members of the Sword Pavilion and the Great Xia Empire assumed the case. In order to let them have peace of mind, I could only disperse my Clear Sky Divine Sword cultivation.”

She paused for a moment before sighing again. “I believe Cult Master Chen’s credibility. Since you promised and stated that you would exchange Fourth Sir for me, you will not go back on your words. If the Sword Pavilion and Great Xia Empire didn’t have any schemes, Fourth Sir would have regained his freedom peacefully.”

Chen Luoyang noticed that Ying Qingqing was restraining her emotions, but her disappointed feelings were obvious on her face.

“Perhaps. But Fifth Sir and the others ultimately didn’t trust you or my cult, right?”

Ying Qingqing shook her head.

Shi Jing, Li Tai, and the others were insistent on bringing her and Xie Xingmang back together, and it was destined to be risky. The first person to suffer the consequences was Xie Xingmang who was still in the hands of the Demon Cult. Let alone losing an arm, it was already an ideal outcome for him to keep his life.

“It doesn’t matter what they think,” Chen Luoyang said casually. “If you are interested, you can ask them yourselves after my cult members capture them.”

Ying Qingqing let out another sigh.

Chen Luoyang watched as Ying Qingqing returned to rest in the guest room, while he remained in the main hall alone and muttered to himself.

After knowing that Xiuzhe was working together with the Sword Pavilion and the Great Xia Empire in order to rescue Helian Zhe, Chen Luoyang viewed Xiuzhe as his helper instead. He was a helper that would drive Ying Qingqing to lean towards Chen Luoyang.

It was rather risky previously, but then, Xiuzhe as a ‘helper’ had given Chen Luoyang a better grasp of Ying Qingqing’s thoughts. A young lady who had an upright outlook of the world was actually easier to deceive.

The act of Eunuch Xiao attacking the sedan chair was truly a pleasant surprise. But after the earlier conversation with Ying Qingqing, Chen Luoyang suddenly realized that he still didn’t understand her enough. When facing this seemingly innocent young lady, he had to be extra cautious. That was why he ultimately gritted his teeth and rejected the temptation of using her Clear Sky Divine Sword to recuperate; instead, he put on an act.

It wasn’t because Ying Qingqing had pretended to be silly and lied to him, but because this young lady’s…

Secret. Don’t ask. It will become a secret after asking. Everything is a goddamn secret!

Chen Luoyang laughed bitterly in his heart while he wasn’t able to make a decision.

Should I eliminate her? Stay as far away from her as possible? Keep her around to observe?

Various thoughts constantly revolved in Chen Luoyang’s mind, and it was causing a spiral that was constantly going around in circles.

Chen Luoyang shook his head and concentrated. He moved his finger, and a shard appeared in his palm. The shard was emitting a faint radiance that was like sunlight. It was the shard of the Sword Pavilion Lord’s sword whetstone. Right now, it contained a faint sword intent, and it was resonating with the remaining Clear Sky Sword Qi inside Chen Luoyang’s body.

Previously, he had used this shard to verify if Ying Qingqing’s Clear Sky Sword Intent had been destroyed, which was ultimately regained. While Chen Luoyang was analyzing the sword intent within, he realized something.

The preparation for the concoction is almost ready. I can prepare to concoct the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir. As for the enemy…

Chen Luoyang was lamenting at how utterly despicable he was while he mentally communicated with the black pot. He then read through the updated life experiences on Shi Jing and Xiuzhe.

Mm… According to the latest information, Xiuzhe is no longer fighting with Shi Jing, Li Tai, and the others, but they didn’t continue working together either. The two parties had gone their separate ways and fled.

It seemed like Xiuzhe had calmed down and started to worry about his own personal safety. Only by living would he have the chance to take revenge.

Even though it was hard to pinpoint their exact location by taking reference to the life experiences, there were still traces. After Chen Lioyang analyzed it, he commanded a group of Demon Cult experts.

The Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage was soaring calmly in the sky while a group of Demon Cult experts pursued those enemies and caused them to panic at every slight move.

…

Two figures flashed by and entered a valley. One of the figures was actually carrying a third person. It was the Sword Pavilion’s Intelligent Sword Shi Jing and Flying Sword Nie Hua. The person that Nie Hua was carrying was none other than his Fourth Junior, Extinction Sword Xie Xingmang.

Nie Hua placed Xie Xingmang down and said to Shi Jing, “I will deal with the tracks that we left behind. Take care of Fourth Junior.”

Shi Jing nodded while Nie Hua left. Xie Xingmang’s face was extremely pale, and he was at his dying breath. Most of his injuries were already dealt with, and they weren’t as eye-catching anymore. The only problem was the right arm that was severed at the elbow.

Shi Jing looked at his senior quietly and didn’t say anything. He then slowly drew his sword.

Blood splashed everywhere.

Nie Hua who was outside felt his heart jolting and became uneasy. When he returned to the valley and saw the scene, he was shocked.

Shi Jing’s expression was slightly pale, but he was still calm. He was wrapping his own wound while nodding to Nie Hua. “Third Senior, you are back.”

Beside him, Xie Xingmang was still lying down peacefully and still breathing. The pool of blood came from the severed right arm on the ground.
