Chapter 801

801 14.77 Last Violet Star – King of Devils

Infernal Region

The Demon King’s Palace

On his elevated throne stood the strongest devil with the purest bloodline. The throne’s occupant didn’t appear to be all that old. He seemed to be just out of his thirties. If someone claimed that this attractive devil was more than a millennium old, no one would believe them. This Devil’s King has a far more stunning visage than the rest of his race, in contrast to the other devils who appear to be somewhat repulsive. He is regarded as the Infernal Realm’s most attractive devil. With a face that wouldn’t lose to an immortal, he exudes a deadly air.

He is enticing rather than having an otherworldly beauty, though. His appeal is comparable to that of the King of Night. With so much charm and danger that people found it difficult to resist. More surprisingly, Xia Jieye’s present vessel’s appearance may be seen in a few points similar to the face of this Devil King.

He was currently slouching as his right fist was resting on the arm of his seat. When he slowly opened his eyes, the world saw scarlet-colored vertical irises. His eyes are closed as if he’s bored. The depths of those blood-stained eyes are calm and detached, but there is impending danger there as well.

The name of the Devil King is Ye Guiya. A Devil who has been around for millennia but has chosen to remain in the Infernal Region. This is because, despite having immortality, strength, and longevity, he can only choose to remain in Hell because his soul was rejected by the Heavenly Domain.

Ye Guiya casts a glance at the Human World while fluffing his long eyelashes. Nobody was aware of his pursuit or his thoughts. He occasionally would stare over from a distance, as if he could see something from a distance while being unable to enter the Mortal Realm due to the barrier around it.

Ye Guiya murmured, “I wonder whether the rest of those children would be able to destroy the world barrier. I can’t wait to see those hypocrites who are flung down in this Region of death and fire. Heh, that unfilial son of mine is in the Mortal Realm. No wonder, Envy, and Lust died even Greed was arrested.”

He closed his eyes once more, appearing to be content with what he had seen from a distance. Nobody knew when this man would reveal himself to the world; it was like the stillness before the storm.

While in Mortal Realm’s Northern Territories. In search of his second sister, Xue Yueguang has just arrived at the Bai Lengshui Sect (White Frozen Water Sect).

He was halted at the entrance to the freezing glacier ranges by some disciples wearing dark blue robes with matching headbands.

“It is banned to continue past this stage, so who are you?”

“You must have permission to enter the Bai Lengshui Sect (White Frozen Water Sect) through this entrance!”

The two disciples blocked Xue Yueguang’s approach to the glacier mountains. Xue Yueguang presented a token made of white jade in the shape of a snowflake with a carving of the ‘Xue’ character in the middle. The white symbol in Xue Yueguang’s palms was immediately recognized by the disciples after they had initially been taken aback.

All members of the Bai Lengshui Sect (White Frozen Water Sect) possess the Ice Jade Token as symbol validation. The majority of outer disciples own such jade tokens, which have a sapphire shade like such an ordinary token. Elders of the Sect carried sky blue-hued jade tokens, while core disciples carried aquamarine-hued tokens. Pure white jade tokens were only carried by those who were direct descendants of the Bai Clan.

The disciples who were blocking Xue Yueguang’s path abruptly cupped their hands and bowed before the person in front of them. The White Jade token alone indicates his high status.

“Pardon our rudeness, Senior! We didn’t know that Senior is in possession of the White Jade Token of our Sect. May these disciples inquire as to why the Lord had come for them?” the young disciples pleaded.

“Send someone to announce that Xue Yueguang wishes to meet Madam Bai,” said Xue Yueguang. “This Lord came over to meet his sister, the Mistress of the Bai Family, Xue Wuyue.”

“Yes, right away!”

In order to quickly report about Xue Yueguang’s arrival, a disciple called his mount, an Arctic wolf. Meanwhile, another disciple came over to guide the path inside the Bai Lengshui Sect and accompanied Xue Yueguang along the path cordially.

The messenger who brought the news to the Bai Family reached the glacier mountain’s summit and discovered the Bai Family at the main estate. Sect Master Bai Qiyin got a report.

The disciple who came straight from the gates of the Bai Lengshui Sect announced, “Reporting to the Sect Master! A Senior called Xue Yueguang appeared at the Sect Entrance carrying the White Jade Token and stating that he wished to visit Mistress Bai!”

When Sect Master Bai learned that his Uncle Xue had unexpectedly visited, he was working on a few things related to the Alliance Exchange Lessons.

“Uncle Xue!? Immediately send someone to escort the Esteemed guests to this mansion!” ordered Bai Qiyin as he let the messenger leave right away.

He takes a brief break from what he is doing to find his parents. His retired parents would stay at the Ice Lotus pavilion to practice ever since he became the Sect Master of the Bai Lengshui Sect. Bai Qiyin had no idea why they had suddenly turned their attention to cultivating themselves.

At the Ice Lotus Pavilion...

Both Madam Bai Xue Wuyue and Old Sect Master Bai Yuyan have just ended their training for the day. Playing Chinese chess is how they are now passing the time (Go). When Bai Qiyin arrived at the pavilion, this was the scene that greeted him.

Bai Qiyin said, “Greetings to Father and Mother!”

“It’s rare that you are here, son. How’s work lately?” asked Bai Yuyan with a soft smile on his good-looking face.

Madam Bai, on the other hand, didn’t even turn around and focused on her chess game. But still asked,

“What’s the matter? Is there another problem with choosing the disciples coming to the Exchange Lesson with the Lan Zhuayun Sect?” asked Madam Bai, Xue Wuyue.

Bai Qiyin responded, “Work is fine, Dad. There are no problems regarding that Mom. It’s just that Uncle Xue had arrived at our place. I had someone escort him here.”

“Brother Yueguang? Why did he come over all of the sudden? Did something happen to An’er?” asked Bai Yuyan.

Madam Bai, who was calm, finally turned around as she noticed the newly arrived presence in the pavilion.

She says, “A’Guang... Is An’er and his counterpart out of seclusion yet?” asked Xue Wuyue.

Xue Yueguang who floated down to one of the blooming Ice Lotuses replied to his second sister’s question as he approached closer to the pavilion where they are resting.

“Wu’er is out. There were no problems with him. I came over for something else. Second Sister, did you know that Chun Hongyun-Jun is the incarnation of the God of Judgement?” asked Xue Yueguang.

Father Bai wasn’t surprised about what his brother-in-law had asked but Bai Qiyin was shocked.

Sect Master Bai exclaims, “Chun Hongyun-Jun is a God!? Much more he is the God of Judgement?!!”

“I know. Elder Sister and Brother-in-law His Majesty had informed us about him ten years ago. He is punished with temporary banishment to the Mortal Realm. If even you could recognize his divinity, that must mean he had remembered everything.”

“Are you here to ask about his bloodline? His parents were notorious. The mother of the God of Judgment is the former God of Love. She was stripped of her position and was reborn as a mortal unable to return to the Heavenly Domain. This is because her sin was the heaviest at that time that those old men at the Heavenly Court had exiled her.”

“As for his father... It is the King of Devils. That’s why Chun Hongyun-Jun is considered a Hybrid. Before the Former God of love was punished she asked the Immortal Emperor to spare her son. An’er as a child like the young Chun Hongyun-Jun because of this the Immortal Emperor accepted the latter as his disciple to protect him.”

“That child is hardworking. That’s why you don’t have to worry about him having devil’s blood. The moment An’er had accepted him as his counterpart, Chun Hongyun-Jun was placed on the same side as us,” explains Madam Bai.

Xue Wuyue asked, “By the way, how did you know that Chun Hongyun-Jun is the God of Judgment?”

“He said it himself. He said that the seal on him was removed during the 7 days he and Wu’er entered seclusion. Except that he cannot return to the Heavenly Domain due to the duration of his punishment, Chun Hongyun-Jun had completely changed his demeanor, temperature, personality, aura, and strength. By the way, Wu’er’s curse had been removed as well. His emotions and memories of his past life had returned,” answered Xue Yueguang as he sat at the small table beside the couple and poured tea for himself.

Bai Yuyan delightfully said, “That’s great. If An’er had remembered everything then things should go back to normal.”

“He will be visiting us soon. I wonder what he plans to do next?” said Madam Bai as she returned her eyes to the game board in front of her.

Xue Yueguang said, “He shouldn’t be able to visit soon. He is currently treating Jin Shiyan’s injuries and would soon be teaching the young disciples of the great sects for weeks. If they are planning to leave the Lan Zhuayun Sect, it would only be during their night hunts.”

Xue Yueguang was speaking to his second sister when he observed Bai Qiyin standing in the corner looking perplexed. Sect Master Bai didn’t dare to add more to the conversation because everyone in the room was an elder. But Xue Yueguang observed him standing there like a pole and became aware of his uneasiness.

Xue Yueguang said, “I’ve always wanted to ask Erjie. Why has your son still not awakened his immortality at such an age? Even my son had awakened him, though this is thanks to Wu’er helping him.”

Bai Qiyin’s parents both turned to face their son. They were aware of the outstanding physical attributes shared by all members of the Xue Bloodline. Even if not all of them had opened their celestial eyes, they were all destined to live with an immortal physique. It is quite simple to awaken it. They just needed to die once, but Bai Qiyin was unaware of this-even his sister was unaware.

He believed that his family was typical of all other mortal clans. After all, the Xie Clan and the devil race had attacked 10 years prior, killing his mother and father as well. He was therefore perplexed by what Xue Yueguang had just said. He appears to have no knowledge of the unique physical features of his family.

Bewildered, Sect Master Bai asked, “Immortality? Is that different from Longevity? Is that a technique or something? Uncle Xue, I don’t understand what you are trying to say.”

“Are you for real?” exclaimed Xue Yueguang in disbelief as he looked at his second sister and her husband.

The two shook their heads with helpless looks on their faces. They had kept their kids’ ability to immortality a secret. Even though Bai Qiyin and Bai Lili were aware of their elder brother’s immortality, they believed him to simply heal more quickly than others. A superior ability for regeneration instead of immortality. After all, didn’t he still die ten years ago?

Madam Bai, Xue Wuyue explains, “Unfortunately, our children know nothing about our Xue Clan’s special physique. Ten years ago, the situation in the Mortal and Upper Realm was chaotic. Plus, we were told not to interfere with the Devil Race at that time as it was considered a Trial for an adulthood of Wu’er.”

“We faked our deaths and ascended temporarily at that time. Because we heard that Sister Wuxia and Elder brother had a bad quarrel that almost destroyed the Heavenly Domain. So... We kinda forget to mention things like this to the child,” said Bai Yuyan.

Madam Bai said, “Either way, it’s not too late. We can still help Qiqi and Lili awaken their physique. After all, things about the Infernal Region had become quite unpredictable and the seven deadly sins had started to appear in this realm.”

“The devils are indeed becoming impatient lately,” said Xue Yueguang with a frown as he thought about what happened in the last few days since he woke up. He even felt the remnant trace of a high-ranked Devil killed by his nephew in Death Valley.

Bai Qiyin was astounded since he was unable to follow the conversation’s progression. The more he listens, the less he can understand. He was even more downhearted that he couldn’t speak up till his parents and uncle finished their business because he felt that they were kind of oblivious to his presence in the room. Thus, he can only wait but the more he listens the more bewildered he gets.
