A few days ago, Liu Cui’er went to visit her ancestor’s grave. On the way back, they met with a thunderstorm and she got lost on the mountain.
She found a shelter and slept there.
When she woke up, she found herself in a different place.
Liu Cui’er couldn’t remember what the place looked like anymore. She only knew that it was huge and looked like a palace.
She didn’t remember how long she stayed there. She only knew that it was really cold. The cold seeped into her bones.
After that, she fainted. When she woke up again, her family had found her.
They said that she fainted under a rock on the mountain. There was no palace there at all. She must have hallucinated because she was sick.
Liu Cui’er felt that something was amiss, but since she didn’t feel uncomfortable after she went back home, she forgot about it.
However, before she could be at ease, she started feeling sick at night. She vomited everything she ate and her abdomen bulged out.
The physician checked her pulse and told her that she was pregnant.
Everyone in the Cui family was stunned.
They just saw Liu Cui’er this morning and her abdomen was flat. They believed that Liu Cui’er didn’t do anything obscene.
But, how did she get pregnant?!
Liu Cui’er knew that the thing in her abdomen was strange so she asked her family to get rid of it.
However, no matter what they did, the thing in her abdomen just stayed there.
This was why the servant girl from the Cui family went to look for Chang Sheng.
When Chang Sheng went to look at Liu Cui’er, she had killed her first victim.
Chang Sheng couldn’t help her and asked them to look for people from the immortal sects.
Liu Cui’er went crazy. Her strength increased and the Cui family was not able to contain her anymore.
Liu Cui’er disappeared.
Then, the people in the city started getting hurt.
Chang Sheng’s voice was still warm and gentle. “Your body is very rare. It is good for conception. Also, you coincidentally went into the birthplace of the demon king so the demon baby entered your body.”
The demon king was born by congregating all the demonic aura in the world.
Ciu Lui’er choked on her tears. “Why… why did it choose me?”
Why was it her?
What did she do wrong!
What on earth did she do to deserve such a punishment!
Ling Lie answered, “Thunder and lightning will rage if the demon king appeared by himself. We will know of his location that way. If he was birthed by a human, the thunder and lightning will not appear.”
In order to dodge the thunder and lightning, the demon king chose to enter Ciu Lui’er’s body.
If Ciu Lui’er didn’t go to that place, the demon king would not be able to enter her body.
Everything was just a coincidence.
Ciu Lui’er was unlucky
Ciu Lui’er placed all her hopes on Chang Sheng. “Physician Chang Sheng, you can’t help me, either?”
Chang Sheng stood with his hands in his sleeves. The lights elongated his shadow. “I can’t save you.”
Ciu Lui’er wept bitterly. “You must have a way. Please help me. I don’t want to kill people. I’m scared. Please help me.”
Chang Sheng shook his head.
Ming Shu placed her hand on her chin and knocked her chin on her hand.
Was Ciu Lui’er unlucky?
She didn’t think so.
“Let me out!”
“You bunch of sanctimonious people, let me go. Let me go.”
Ciu Lui’er didn’t manage to get any help and started screaming furiously. The human emotions in her were devoured and she became frenzied.
Ciu Lui’er was pregnant with the demon king so no one dared to touch her rashly. They were afraid of creating trouble at this moment.
Everyone squeezed into the courtyard and exchanged glances with one another.
No one knew who Chang Sheng, was but the sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect and the two elders knew.
They invited Chang Sheng to have a discussion off to the side. They looked cautious around him. Chang Sheng, on the other hand, wore an amiable expression and led them into the house.
“Who is that?”
“I don’t know…”
“He looks like a normal person. He doesn’t have any cultivation on him.”
“He might be some powerful person that decided to conceal himself. The elders treated him politely.”
The disciples whispered to each other.
Fang Wan stood within the crowd and looked at Ming Shu.
“Junior Sister?”
Someone waved his hand in front of her. The person waved for a while before Fang Wan regained her senses. “Senior Brother? What is the matter?”
“Senior Brother asked us to setup some arrays outside the courtyard with the disciples from the Qian Yuan Sect. This is to prevent any accidents from happening.”
“Oh, okay.” Fang Wan glanced at Ming Shu again and then left.
This area belonged to the Wuji Sword Sect so they had the final say.
The entire courtyard was filled with arrays. The residence beside them were invited to leave.
“Why is our sect leader’s sword here?!”
A commotion arose in the courtyard.
Everyone looked toward the source of the sound. A blue sword was floating in the air, looking down on them.
The disciples from Chiyang Sect gathered around. “I saw the Duan Xu sword just now but things were really messy so I didn’t take much notice of it. Uncle Master, did the sect leader come too?”
The uncle master was in a daze too. He didn’t receive any notice that the sect leader was coming.
Why was the Duan Xu sword here?
As everyone was puzzled, the elder from Chiyang Sect walked out and saw the Lianjing sword. His expression changed slightly. “Why is the Duan Xu sword here?”
The Lianjing sword flew and erected straight beside Ming Shu as though it was answering him.
Some disciples couldn’t control their tempers and shouted angrily, “Devil girl, how dare you steal the Duan Xu sword!”
“Are you all stupid?” Ming Shu refuted him without any mercy. “The Duan Xu sword is your sect leader’s sword of fate, right? If I could steal his sword of fate, he would be dead.”
“Elder, Elder… something happened!” A disciple from Chiyang Sect ran in. “The sect leader… sect leader…”
They were just talking about their sect leader and this disciple came in.
The elder grabbed him immediately and asked, “What happened to the sect leader?”
The disciple panted heavily. “Our sect leader… is dead.”
An eerie silence engulfed the small courtyard.
The elder of Chiyang Sect felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
The rest of the disciples started frowning too.
Sect Leader…
How did he die?!
Everyone slowly shifted their gazes to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu: “…” Looks like I need to take some blame again.
“How did the sect leader die? Did you hear it correctly?!” The elder from the Chiyang Sect grabbed the disciple and questioned him.
The disciple nodded his head in fear and grief.
He wouldn’t dare to say such things for fun.
“How… how did he die?” The elder of the Chiyang Sect squeezed the words out from between his teeth.
“His cultivation was sucked dry.”
The place turned quiet again.
Sucking a person’s cultivation was a method used by devils and demons. They could gain other people’s cultivation though this method and easily raise their cultivation level.
The other two sects kept quiet.
After the shock of the news settled in, flames of anger started burning in the hearts of the disciples from Chiyang Sect.
“It must have been done by a demonic cultivator.”
“The Duan Xu sword is here. It must have something to do with July!”
“The sect leader must have been killed by her.”
“The devil girl is so evil.”
“We must take revenge for our sect leader!”
