806 14.82 Last Violet Star – The Key to Deactivate the Realm Barrier.
In the South, at the Lu Weifeng Sect...
The word from Yun Huaxia had also reached the Lu brothers, and as soon as they saw it, their looks went sour. They had no idea Jin Baihua would turn against their race.
“That phony white lotus is undoubtedly a bad thing,” Lu Er said. “No wonder no one could find him a few years ago! He seized Young Master Jin as soon as he was restored and imprisoned him in the forbidden zone.”
“No matter how many spies I sent to investigate the boundaries of the barrier to our realm, none of them returned alive. Is he the one killing them?” wondered Lu Yi. “Records say that Jin Huayu suddenly had an increasing breakthrough that was beyond normal, but what if this chance encounter is selling his soul to the devil race?” he asked. His face clearly shows that he is angry.
Lu Er says, “We still have some light elemental stones in our inventory, which we can use to detect death qi or resentment qi. Brother, don’t lose your temper. Don’t worry, I will arrange for some elders and disciples to screen the individuals entering our city.”
“They could utilize the same method to reach the city, so set up some patrols with me in charge at night. It also fortifies the barrier surrounding the Clan’s mound,” suggested Lu Yi.
Lu Er complains, “Sigh~ I thought I could send our disciples to Lan Zhuayun Sect myself and visit Brother Wuan, but now that Jin Huayu is on the run I can’t leave the city.”
“Don’t worry. Because of Chun Hongyun-Jun, Wuan’er would be staying in this realm for a very long time. We have plenty of time after we clean up the Devil Race,” said Lu Yi.

In the West...
Lan Zhuayan Sect
Yun Huaxia, who departed towards the East with Jin Shiyan to catch Jin Baihua, sent a letter. Before they went, Chun Hongyun-Jun and Mo Bing Jingling-Jun desired to accompany them, but the elders of the sect dissuaded them by stating that two Nascent Soul practitioners were sufficient to capture one Sect Master.
Furthermore, there is a larger chance that he had already fled. The disciples would worry and panic if the two pillars of the sect left together with the sect master because they would believe something terrible had happened. Additionally, they must complete the Alliance Exchange Studies preparation. Things wouldn’t be regarded as simple and the event may be postponed if the two teachers who were scheduled to teach abruptly vanished.
Hei Anjing decided against going after hearing the elders beg. If he opted to stay, his husband wouldn’t leave at all since he would follow him wherever he went. Hei Anjing ultimately decided to just lend them the flying ship and let Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang travel with them. These two would be able to contain any demons present in the Jin Tiangui Sect until they arrived.
Who would have imagined that just a few days after they left, they would get a letter from Sect Master Yun? Hei Anjing, Chun Hongyun-Jun, and the sect leaders had convened at the Main Peak’s Hall.
“Though that youngster is a little scheming,” the Supreme Elder Yun Xiayu remarks, “I’ve never believed he would sell his soul to the devils. Just what is the devil race attempting to accomplish? Why do they keep coming into the mortal world?”
Chun Hongyun-Jun remarked, “I know. That stupid old thing was looking for his woman. His wife is an immortal whose divinity was stripped and was exiled to the Mortal realm to live as a mortal for a very long time. He must be ordering his other sons to breach the barrier surrounding the Mortal Realm from within.”
“Impossible! They needed the blood of the purest lineage of each major sect’s descendants to perform such a thing,” said Yun Xiayu.
Hei Anjing remembered something that would lead the devil race to destroy the present order between worlds, supposing these facts to be the key.
Hei Anjing questioned, “My darling... Did the devil whom you fought with take a little of your blood that day in the south when we once again met?”
Xia Jieye said, “No, I wouldn’t be so reckless.” Why would allow a mere nobody to touch this Lord?
“How about Elder Brother Yun?,” Hei Anjing enquired.
“Brother may appear amicable, but unless they pretend to be your younger brother, he won’t let his guard down easily,” according to Xia Jieye. “But given that Lu Yi had previously experienced death qi, I believe they already had his blood.”
Hei Anjing said, “That’s accurate! His death qi spreads from within and he had several wounds at that time. We need to alert Qiqi, Elder Brother Yun, and the Royal Family since Jin Shiyan had been captured by Jin Huayu for years and must have absorbed some of his blood during that period.”
Everyone in the room was astounded when they considered this option. The blood of Jin Shiyan from the Jin Tiangui Sect and Lu Yi from the Lu Weifeng Sect were now in the possession of the devil race. Only three additional individuals who needed to get their blood drawn were left. The realm’s barrier can be removed if all five lineages are acquired. The result will be a disaster for the human race.
With a dark face, Yun Huajie ordered, “Send urgent letters to the North, East, and capital as soon as possible. Inform them about the key to deactivating the realm barrier. It cannot be given to others no matter what!”
“Yes, Supreme Master!”

Meanwhile, certain Imperial Palace officials are making unexpected statements in several places.
Regardless of wealth, everyone was informed. ordinary citizens or cultivators. The Human Emperor had informed everyone about the specifics of the royal proclamation.
A wanted man who once served as the Jin Tiangui Sect’s Sect Master is the subject of The Royal Decree. Jin Baihua is well-known for having an approachable demeanor, especially with commoners. He was the one who suggested the watch towers that were constructed in certain small communities that were too remote from major cities.
He projected an appearance of goodness and honesty, but who would have imagined that someone with an angelic face would betray their race first? The evidence was offered to support the royal family’s claims. Hei Anjing was the one who gave it. It was a natural recording made in Death Valley and it was the first appearance of Jin Baihua with a Devil who went by the name of Shulan.
When everyone saw the previous Sect Master Jin’s image interacting with a creature with horns and wings, they recognized that this man is a devil. The only difference between the devil and the gods and goddesses, according to what was recorded in the records, is their powerful seduction, which leads their prey to enter into a contract with them. A devil’s strength increases with the more appealing he is. Consequently, they said that the King of the Devil race was the most attractive Devil ever to have lived.
While the presence of the demon race within the realm has caused confusion and fear throughout the whole mortal world. Jin Baihua enlisted the aid of the demons to blend in with the throng by hiding himself and adopting a common appearance. He observed the event being acted out by the palace official while standing in a nearby corner. He was astounded to see that what occurred in Death valley had been documented so precisely without his knowledge the entire time.
“Shulan, that time in the Death Valley you didn’t notice anything strange? How come we got recorded?” Jin Baihua said in a low voice.
Devil Shulan said in his thoughts, [No. You were undoubtedly the only person still alive that day. There was nothing else that I noticed.]
In addition to their dialogue, Jin Baihua may hear another voice in his head.
[This recording dates back in time. The devil’s race is not capable of sensing natural laws. It is an old item that was dumped in Death Valley back then to keep records... Someone had to have known you were going to make a move that day.]
The speaker was Jin Baihua’s Devil. Fennu, the Devil who controls Fury.
[Do you know anyone who may be that person?] Devil Fennu asked.
After giving the matter some contemplation, the former Sect Master Jin saw a dazzling, veiled image of Hei Anjing. Of course, the two Devils noticed it.
Devil Shulan uttered the words, [Who is this? Isn’t he simply too beautiful to be a human? In particular those sleepy yet elegant phoenix-shaped irises. How can a human like this exist?!]
[Is this an immortal? Where have I heard of those silver irises before?] Devil Fennu murmured.
“He is known as Mo Bing Jingling-Jun. He slew the Devil ten years ago and sacrificed himself. He passed away at Chun Hongyun-Jun’s hands, but that mortal vessel might just be a temporary one.” said Jin Baihua.
Shulan the Devil said, [So he’s an immortal with the task of searching for the devils. If he truly prepared that old relic to secretly record us, you should be concerned. This kind of person is usually playful yet their thoughts are more complicated than others. But he seems well suited to serve as my vessel, and I can see his laziness in those eyes.]
[Ignore this useless devil.] Devil Fennu replied, [Collect additional keys to deactivate the barrier around this world. Once the mission is finished, you will be released from the contract and can become one of us if you so want.]
The two vials in Jin Baihua’s hand that contained Jin Shiyan and Lu Yi’s blood were examined.
Jin Baihua mused, “I’m still missing the blood of Hou, Bai, and Yun. Of the three, the highest chance I can take is the Hou. Thanks to the Royal Decree, it should be easy for me to sneak into the Imperial Place and take a few droplets of blood, but the question is which prince should I target?” Jin Baihua recalled the grating face of the Crown Prince who keeps on looking down on him because of his illegitimate lineage. This is true even if he ends up leading the Jin Tiangui Sect as Sect Master.
It was determined that Jin Baihua would seek Hong Longqing’s blood next. “That fucking brat should suffer for the crude comments he had uttered previously,” Jin Baihua murmurs. The Capital City is his next stop.
Coincidentally, Jin Baihua had selected the Capital as his hiding place because it was the biggest city in the mortal realm. The likelihood of being discovered would decrease if you blended in with the larger group. Jin Baihua made the decision to enter the palace covertly now that he had another objective in mind. He was fortunate that the Imperial Palace was assembling guests who wished to attend the arrival of the newest eunuchs. This route was taken by Jin Baihua in order to enter the Imperial Palace.
The palace attendants were under Jin Baihua’s control after being drugged by Devil Shulan, thus there is really no reason to remove that portion of his. No one would have anticipated that a wanted criminal like him would want to enter the Imperial Palace shortly after a royal proclamation was made, therefore he did so securely. The only person who would have known he was masking his true look is from the Infernal Land since his disguised method originated from that place.
Jin Baihua entered the palace among the rest of the new eunuch while wearing plain, monotone-colored servant clothes. He took a close look at his surroundings as he tried to recall the secret passages he could use to get away. Since he had previously visited the Imperial Palace as the Sect Master of a Great Sect, he had only ever used the main entrance. However, at the moment, he is just a wanted felon.
He hated the world, even more, when he pondered how he had come to grace. Hei Anjing had further infuriated him by sullying his reputation. His link to the Devil of Wrath becomes stronger as a result of hatred, and he is completely unaware of how much stronger he has become. He is currently at the Peak Soul Transformation Stage in his growth.
