Even in the Bu’e Continent, where great demons were prevalent, the Ye Mo was not a common demon. They were very few in number but were born to cultivate. As long as they grew into big demons, they would definitely dominate. It was just a pity that it wasn’t easy to grow to adulthood on the Bu’e Continent.

Unlike Yaogang, the Bu’e Continent was disorderly. Killing and being killed was common like eating, and because of this, every demon that survived was an elite among the elite. If they weren’t too few in number, they probably would have long taken over the Yaoguang Continent. 

Chi Yu was young at the time but he knew some old stories from the past, such as the fact that the demons had already taken the lead on the Yaoguang Continent. However, who knew that a Heavenly Ruler had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and laid down a great formation to protect the whole Yaoguang Continent, completely stopping the invasion of the demons. This formation could stop most of the demons with lower cultivation and even if there were big demons that could enter Yaoguang through the formation, there were other cultivators to stop them which ended up being not a big deal.

Because of this formation, the name Heavenly Ruler had not only spread throughout Yaoguang but was also known on the Bu’e Continent. Just the demons weren’t dumb. They knew that even if the Heavenly Ruler, such a powerful person, was able to lay down such a powerful formation that could protect the entire continent, he would have had to pay a painful price. 

“No wonder the Heavenly Ruler disappeared after that day. Perhaps after laying down the formation, his vitality was greatly wounded.”

“Yes, such a powerful formation, I don’t know how he achieved such a thing.” 

“Maybe the Heavenly Ruler really is dead now, if so, it’s a good opportunity for us……”

Such statements were very loud at that time that at a certain point, the demons were also quite restless. The Demon King also had some thoughts. After all, if the Heavenly Ruler was no longer there, once he arrived at the Yaoguang Continent, no one would be able to beat him. He just had to wave his hands and he would be able to destroy countless cities and take thousands of human lives.

So the Demon King gathered his men and planned to have a long discussion on this matter.

At that time, Ye Mo’s cultivation had just begun and was fortunate enough to also join this discussion. He had thought that he could see the beginning of the demon’s revival, but who knew that during the meeting, a red outfit floated past. 

Chi Yu was far away, so he only saw a back. That back seemed like a leisurely fall of red leaves overhead as suddenly the sword was unsheathed and a move was made. 

And it was only one move.

After one move, the head of the Demon King, with his unbelievable eyes, fell to the ground with a thump as blood splashed out, reddening the morning sun.

The whole room was silent and all eyes fell on the man in red, but his posture was lazy. He shook the long sword in his hand slightly, shaking off the residual blood on the blade, and then with a clank, he returned the sword to its sheath. His attitude was very relaxed, as if he did not feel at all the surrounding temperature of the burning gazes.

Until the man in red left, not a single demon made a sound. The Demon King’s head rolled to the ground and fell off the high platform as it became stained with mud.

The man in red rode his sword and just disappeared from their views like that.

Ten steps to kill one person, not staying for a thousand miles.

That was about it.

After the man in red left, the silence that had been maintained for a long time finally ended, and with it came a huge cacophony. Some were roaring, some were screaming, some were in distress, and all the demons were in chaos.

“Didn’t they say that the Heavenly Ruler had been ruined? Why is he still alive——”

“His cultivation level not only didn’t regress, but it had also even improved!”

“Demon King, Lord Demon King is dead!!!”

“Help, help——”

Chaotic voices filled the whole world and Chi Yu silently stood in the corner, quietly hiding his form.

As soon as the Demon King died, a hundred-year-long chaos was ushered in. The warlords were divided, the whole continent was in disarray and no longer unified.

Chi Yu also grew up. One hundred years was enough time for him to grow into a great demon from a small demon that had no self-protection ability. The Ye Mo tribe was rare and as soon as they reached adulthood, their strength would grow a hundredfold.

After the turmoil in Bu’e finally subsided, although there were no more demon kings, there were seven new kings, one of which was Chi Yu.

Although the Ye Mo was divided into male and female, in fact, reproduction did not require a male and female to □□. As long as their cultivation was high enough, they could divide a part of their body and turn it into a demon egg for reproduction. It was because of this that the Ye Mo had never had a strong desire to reproduce and it was after a long time of consideration that Chi Yu made this decision.

However, the egg was stolen not long after it was birthed. Ye Mo was furious and headed to Yaoguang in pursuit of the trail. Who knew that he was one step too late and his stupid son had recognized someone else as his father.

Pinching the flesh of the kitten’s neck in his hand, Chi Yu looked at it straightforwardly with disgust and anxiety. The little thing was stubborn and refused to eat what he fed, helpless, Chi Yu had to follow Lin Rufei for a while.

Who knew that as he followed along, he actually perceived an incredible thing. He actually felt the breath of the Heavenly Ruler……

Although this breath was unfamiliar, it was one he would never forget. The accident a hundred years ago left an indelible trace in his memory. Even if he died, he would not forget.

This Lin gongzi in front of him, could it be that he really had a relationship with the Heavenly Ruler? Chi Yu thought confusedly. He used the sword blade of the Heavenly Ruler and carried the aura of the Heavenly Ruler, this……was probably not an accident.

Until one day, he finally met the owner of the breath.

It was still the same extremely recognizable red outfit. He stood at the Lin family’s youngest son’s side and with a slightly inclined head, the tender loving in his eyes almost turned concrete. Although Chi Yu had never seen his face, he still was able to learn of his identity from that familiar breath. This was the Heavenly Ruler who beheaded the Demon King with his own hands a few hundred years ago.

Chi Yu revealed a look of astonishment.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, the man slowly turned his head and looked at him. The two men stared at each other, one stunned, one flat.

Then the man in red withdrew his gaze and his figure gradually faded away.

Chi Yu anxiously rubbed his paws on the ground.

This was his first meeting with Gu Xuandu. In fact, the two of them didn’t meet very often since most of the time, his attention was focused on Lin Rufei.

Who was Lin Rufei? Why was the Heavenly Ruler following beside him? He probably wasn’t just the youngest son of the Kunlun Sect. Chi Yu felt some unusual flavor in this matter, but still could not completely figure out the overall context of it for a while.

Until that day, when Chi Yu helped Lin Rufei and took him to see the dead swordsman.

“Why have you just arrived?” Standing at a distance and watching Lin Rufei trembling with the swordsman, Chi Yu coldly asked, “You’re not afraid that your little gongzi will die like this?”

“No.” Gu Xuandu replied, “You know of my existence?”

He spoke in a light tone, as if he hadn’t even met Chi Yu’s eyes. Chi Yu snorted and said that he wasn’t a fool. Since Lin Rufei liked to talk to himself so much and he also wasn’t suffering from hysteria……

Gu Xuandu laughed but did not speak.

Over there, Lin Rufei and the swordsman fought passionately. Chi Yu mulled over this thought for a moment, but still voiced the doubts in his heart, “You are the Heavenly Ruler, right?”

Gu Xuandu took a glance at him.

Chi Yu continued, “A few hundred years ago, you personally set up the Grand Formation and beheaded the Demon King, I was present at that time and remembered your breath.” He observed Gu Xuandu’s state and narrowed his eyes, “How come you only have your soul left now?”

Gu Xuandu smiled, “Not telling you.”

Chi Yu bared his teeth.

Gu Xuandu laughed: “Just kidding. I just ran into something and became this way, if you want to take revenge, I really can’t do anything about it.”

Since Chi Yu was able to pass through the Yaoguang Grand Formation, his cultivation level must have broken past the eighth level. Now he was still in the state of soul, naturally, there was nothing he could do with this demon. However, who knew that Chi Yu smiled coldly at his words, asking since when did he and Gu Xuandu have a feud.

“I killed the Demon King of your Bu’e Continent, am I not considered to be Bu’e’s enemy?” Gu Xuandu wondered.

“If you didn’t kill him, how could I be a king?” Chi Yu smiled, “In the end, I should also thank you.”

Gu Xuandu raised his eyebrows.

“Who is this little gongzi to you?” Chi Yu asked, “Don’t tell me he’s your disciple? No one would look at their own disciple with that kind of eyes.” He had seen that Gu Xuandu’s eyes carried a familiar greed, like a beast that had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw a fresh piece of meat. Wanting to swallow it all in a few mouthfuls, but also didn’t want to finish it too cleanly. It was best to find a place where no one was and to endure the hunger and discouragement. The best way, after all, was to chew slowly and savor the flavor.  

Gu Xuandu blinked: “Guess?”

Chi Yu said: “Tsk, troublesome.” He didn’t bother to guess, turned around, and walked away with his tail wagging.

Gu Xuandu looked at his back and began to reflect on whether his look was really too obvious that even Chi Yu, an unreasonable demon, was able to see something from it.

After that, Chi Yu saw Gu Xuandu a few more times. However, those meetings were all by chance, until one day, he had intended to leave.

With the little cub in his arms, Chi Yu took on his human form and said to Gu Xuandu that he was leaving.

Gu Xuandu said, ‘If you’re going to leave then leave, why have you come to greet me?’ 

Chi Yu said, “Isn’t it all because your little gongzi seduced my son? Otherwise, why would I waste so much time here?” He grinned, revealing his sharp canine teeth, “If it weren’t for the sake of you, the Heavenly Ruler, I would have swallowed him in one bite.”

After listening to his words, Gu Xuandu looked at him seriously, “Actually, there is one thing that I haven’t told you.”

Chi Yu asked, “What?”

Gu Xuandu sighed, “I am not the Heavenly Ruler.”

Chi Yu frowned at Gu Xuandu and just thought he was talking nonsense: “If you are not the Heavenly Ruler, then who are you?”

Gu Xuandu said righteously, word for word: “The Heavenly Ruler’s man.”

Chi Yu: “……” This person was probably psycho.

Probably because the four words that this man spoke were too shocking, Chi Yu was silent for a long time and did not say anything.

Gu Xuandu chuckled then waved his hand at him, signaling for him to hurry. Chi Yu cursed an expletive and then said, ‘Gu Xuandu you really like to speak without thinking. All you like to do is make up nonsense and talk nonsense……’

Gu Xuandu was too lazy to defend himself and simply replied indifferently: “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.”

Chi Yu: “……” He wanted to say something else, but when the words came to the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back down—hard. Finally, he turned away in distress——he actually saw from Gu Xuandu’s expression that this man was not joking and was very serious.

Gu Xuandu was the Heavenly Ruler’s man? But the Heavenly Ruler was originally a man, so wouldn’t the two of them……Remembering the way Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei, Chi Yu’s ears inexplicably reddene. He then cursed lowly, thinking how in the world could there be such a lewd/mischievous thing. This group of human beings was not at all like their pure demon race! He had lived for hundreds of years, but had yet to even hold a girl’s hand—— 

Thinking of this, Chi Yu suddenly regretted it. He shouldn’t have left so fast. Although Lin Rufei was troublesome, his two maids were actually quite cute, ah.
