Chapter 825 - 825 14.101 Last Violet Star - (Past) Dao Companion

825 14.101 Last Violet Star – (Past) Dao Companion

As the progenitor of the Xie Clan lost control due to his inner demons, the impending conflict inexorably drew nearer. His link with the devil that gave him his present power had been cut off ever since he began becoming insane. In other words, the Devil, who was the Mastermind behind the scenes, began to lose control over the Xie Clan.

At the Main Peak of the Lan Zhuayun Sect.

As directed by the Sect Master, all elders had gathered. They were going to get ready for the impending conflict with the Xie Clan. Each major sect has sent a snitch to watch the Xie Clan’s movements. The majority of the spies they dispatched were all killed while on a mission, thus they were unable to obtain adequate information.

Only the men who were personally commanded by Bai Wuan survived. However, Bai Wuan was seriously hurt and is currently unconscious. Nevertheless, the data his group had obtained allowed them to adequately prepare for the war since Bai Wuan had personally prepared a live record of the whole Xie Clan domain and a complete model of their home, including the escape route and secret passageways. They would at least be able to reduce the number of casualties on their side by adding their subordinates’ knowledge regarding the number of experts the entire Xie Clan had. This is information shared within the circle of the great sect’s upper echelon.

The Great Elder Xie Xiayu spoke, “According to the information A’Wuan had gathered, the Xie Clan had at least 50 golden core cultivators. 30 at the Early Stage, 15 at Mid Stage, and 5 Peak Stage. 300 Establishment Foundation and 1000 Qi Gathering cultivators. With Xie Gui, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, as their core they were like a behemoth themselves.

“Our Lan Zhuayun Sect has 300 Qi Gathering Disciples, 50 Establishment Foundation Cultivators, and 15 Golden Core Cultivators including Huayu.”

“Bai Lengshui Sect has 200 Qi Gathering Disciples, 30 Establishment Foundation Cultivators, and 25 Golden Core Cultivators.”

“Jin Tiangui Sect has 500 Qi Gathering Disciples, 60 Establishment Foundation Cultivators, and 5 Golden Core Cultivators.”

“Lu Weifeng Sect. 300 Qi Gathering Disciples. 100 Establishment Foundation Cultivators and 10 Golden Core Cultivators.”

.....

“If tallied in two groups: we have 55 Golden Core Cultivators against 50 From Xie Clan. 230 Establishment Foundation Cultivators against 300 of the Xie Clan. There shouldn’t be any problem here as the young genius of the current generation has gathered here. The second Young Master can take the lead with Young Lord Bai Wuan. Lastly, 1300 Qi Gathering Cultivators. They are against only 1000 and we have a lead in numbers as long as nothing unexpected happens in the middle, these disciples should be able to fight back.”

“The Sect Masters can focus on Xie Gui, please leave the rest to us. Elders hold back Xie Gui’s minions. For those at the lower stage, there are the Twin Clouds of our sect, Ice Demon from Bai Lengshui, and the other young geniuses. That will be all for the report, Sect Master.”

“Actually, we have to remove two among the group of geniuses. Jie’er pleads for this old man to let him accompany Wuan’er to his mission. I approved of it,” said Sect Master Yun.

This time, not even the Great Elder could conceal his shock and amazement after hearing the Sect Master’s comments.

“What!? Sect Master!” all elders showed their disagreement with these words.

Yun Xiayu remarked while frowning, “Is it about Jieye agreeing to A’Wuan’s mission to attempt and eliminate cultivators of the Xie Clan once he leaves our sect?!”

“Un! Whether A’Wuan was in his line of sight or not, he claimed he didn’t want to see him in danger. I cannot stop him. So I challenged him to a battle with his older brother. He achieved victory with little effort,” said Sect Master Yun.

The First Young Master Yun is now at Golden Core Stage, almost reaching Mid-level, and the elders gasped at this news and couldn’t believe what they’d just heard.

“Impossible! The Second Young Master is only at Peak Establishment Foundation Stage while the first young master is at Early Golden Core Stage. How can he defeat him?!”

“Is this true brother?” asked Yun Xiayu.

Sect Master Yun Huajie answered, “I’m serious. After Jie’er had fallen into a coma, he was enlightened for an unknown reason. He just says that once he is interested in things, a lot of knowledge would appear in his head. He said that it might be his original memory of an uncertain era or timeline.”

“Are you telling me that he, Jieye, might be a reincarnated immortal or something!?” exclaimed Yun Xiayu.

Sect Master Yun nodded his head and said, “None of this shall be spoken outside this hall. Make an oath!”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

“Okay. Start the preparation. Go now!” commanded Sect Master Yun

—

In the meantime, in Yun Xiajie’s courtyard...

The owner of the house was now guqin-playing.

Throughout the whole courtyard, lyrical and classical sounds could well be heard. A wooden guqin that Yun Xiajie used for musical practice is in front of him. Swords are not the only weapon used by the Lan Zhuayun Sect; they also use musical instruments as backup weapons.

This sound caused Bai Wuan to awaken. He had slept for so long that his head was starting to hurt.

He observed a ceiling that appeared to be familiar as he opened his eyes to glance around.

“This image... where have I seen it before?” he mumbled with a hoarse voice as he just woke up from sleeping for one whole week.

Yun Xiajie quickly jumped up and began to walk toward him as the classical music in the room abruptly ceased.

The second young master of the Yun Family murmured, “Jing’er, you’re finally awake,” with a rare and relieved smile on his face.

Stunned. Bai Wuan was in shock as he watched Yun Xiajie. This is the first time he has ever seen his husband smile. Yun Xiajie had a visage that was either expressionless or somewhat irritated before him even when they were in the Upper Realm. So, he was taken off guard by that and forgot what he was meant to say next.

Yun Xiajie held Bai Wuan’s hand gently and looked at him with a worried look in his eyes as he helped Bai Wuan to sit up on the bed.

“Do you need anything, Jing’er?”

“W-Water, please,” responded Bai Wuan who felt his throat had been dry from sleeping for too long.

Yun Xiajie gave Bai Wuan a glass of water and then sat on the side of the bed, holding Bai Wuan’s hand once again. He clearly had no plans to release his grip on Bai Wuan’s hand. On the other hand, Bai Wuan allowed him to act as he pleased.

When Bai Wuan untied his robe and glanced at his chest, he was shocked to discover smooth, white flesh devoid of any scars or blemishes. “A’Xia, how long have I been asleep and...” he inquired. “Did you help me in curing my wounds?”

Since he had been watching Bai Wuan’s reaction from the beginning, the Second Young Master Yun held off on responding straight immediately. For some reason, he had the impression that his beloved wouldn’t be shocked to learn that he is capable of using the Blood Element as if he had longed to discover this fact.

When Yun Xiajie looked at Bai Wuan’s chest wound, he said, “You’ve been unconscious for a week. Before you lost consciousness, you warned the doctor that we can’t use Light Elements to treat your wounds, so I’ve utilized Blood Elements to help you close up your wounds.” as he helps Bai Wuan to rearrange his disheveled robe when he checks on his chest wound.

As Bai Wuan watched his husband take care of him, a small grin broke out on the corner of his face. His current vessel is indeed too weak.

The Immoral Emperor had instructed them to leave their immortal vessel in the Heavenly domain and just for their soul to enter the reincarnation pool in order to be reborn in the realm of mortals in order to complete his mission there.

He had been reborn, just like the God of Judgment. However, unlike Bai Wuan who made preparations in advance to preserve his true memories, his husband was resurrected without them despite the meticulous sealing of all of his powers. However, Xia Jieye’s spirit, which is imprisoned in the God of Judgment’s body, ultimately became conscious. He gradually aided the strengthening of his soul fragment. This is in order for him to resurrect and assume control of the body.

Bai Wuan said to Yun Xiajie, “Thank you for saving me, A’Xia.”

“There is no need for thanks between the two of us. You would have done the same thing if I were the one who was injured,” said Yun Xiajie.

Chuckles~

“Indeed. You are right, darling~” said Bai Wuan thinking of wanting to tease his husband once again.

Instead of blushing in embarrassment this time, Yun Xiajie just stared at him and looked into his eyes. After a brief moment of shock, Bai Wuan was relieved to see Yun Xiajie reach out and gently stroke his cheeks. Bai Wuan was taken aback when Yun Xiajie’s pampering smile surfaced on his husband’s handsome face. When Yun Xiajie kissed him on the lips, he was unable to respond.

Although the contact between their lips was fleeting, Yun Xiajie suddenly kissed Bai Wuan’s lips.

He was taken off guard and mistook it for another dream. After all, his husband as the God of Judgement had never made such an intimate gesture before. He gave Yun Xiajie an astonished expression as he stared at him.

Chuckles~

Only when Yun Xiajie kissed for a second time did Bai Wuan wake up and blushed as he looked flustered under the smile of his husband.

“Y-You... kissed me!? But I... We are not...”

“Jing’er, I want to ask you something...”

“What... What is it?” asked Bai Wuan as he avoided looking at his husband’s eyes and wanted to pull back his hand held by the latter.

Unfortunately, his hands were held too tightly by Yun Xiajie, and obviously had no intention of letting go.

Yun Xiajie says, “Jing’er, let’s become Dao Companions. Even though we are still too young to have a ceremony, I wanted to ask you to promise to be with me in the future. Please become my Dao Companion, Jing’er.”

Yun Xiajie, who was seated in front of Bai Wuan, was holding his hands. Even if his spouse has been a little more forthcoming with his thoughts for him, he felt that he was still the same guy who valued his words and was a stern and upright person by nature as he observed the apparent uneasiness flickering inside his eyes.

Bai Wuan displays his genuine smile, which is as bright as the sun rising over the glaciers. Bright and distinctive It was a smile reserved just for his chosen one.

“Okay. I agree. A’Xia, I want to become your Dao Companion.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I (Hei) Bai Anjing swear, this is an oath I took with the gods and would never alter regardless of what occurs in the future. In this world, my chosen other half can only be Yun Xiajie.”

“I, Yun Xiajie, swear to cherish and love only Jing’er, listen to him, care for him, and stay with him forever,” he said.

Following the conclusion of their vows, Yun Xiajie delicately holds his sweetheart out of fear of hurting him because he had just awoken. A grumble emanating from Bai Wuan’s stomach abruptly ended the magnificent sensation of love that had been permeating the room. He hadn’t eaten anything for a week while he was asleep when his stomach eventually complained. Bai Wuan’s cheeks were flushing crimson as he covered his face. He was mortified by how his stomach ruined the lovely ambiance he was experiencing with his partner.

“Uwu~ I can’t believe this... How embarrassing...” mumbled Bai Wuan.

But Yun Xiajie didn’t laugh at him but instead reached out a hand to check his tummy.

“Too flat. Jing’er I bought some pastries for you. Snack on this for a while as I make our lunch,” said Second Young Master Yun as he controlled his qi to make the sweets at the side table to fly towards them. He handed the plate of pastries to his lover and hand-fed him a piece.

Being hand fed by his spouse didn’t make Bai Wuan feel self-conscious, so he slightly opened his lips and let the food enter while he chewed. Various dried fruits are baked into the pastries. There are fruits like strawberries, peaches, mangoes, and jujubes. It was sufficiently acidic and sweet to satiate someone’s hunger.

After delivering yet another glass of water, Yun Xiajie got up.

“Jing’er, wait for a bit, I’ll make you something light to eat first. Don’t eat too many snacks or you might have a stomach ache from eating too much solid food. I will be back soon,” said the Second Young Master as he prepares to leave for the kitchen. But he gave a kiss on Bai Wuan’s forehead before taking his leave.

Bai Wuan replies, “Okay. Can I have Moon Cakes for desserts?”

“Um. I’ll prepare some for you,” said Yun Xiajie.
