Chapter 919 - 919 14.195 Last Violet Star - Before the Final War I

919 14.195 Last Violet Star – Before the Final War I

The conflict inside the Imperial City was over. Only a few survivors made it safely to the Western Lands, and the capital has been destroyed. Hou Longqing and Heilan were transported to the Upper Realm. Nobody anticipated what would transpire for them there. Even the fact that they were still alive or not was uncertain.

Humans had lost the conflict in the Capital, and the Demon race had suffered the repercussions by losing half of their herds. This time, the Dragon Race had also shown up, but fortunately, they had no desire to take part in the war taking place in the Mortal Realm. They just left, taking the Human Emperor and the Black Dragon with them. They appear to have gone back to their home located in the Upper Realm.

The two Deadly Sins who lead their respective herd were also seriously hurt. Devil Shulan had been struck by a dragon’s tail and had fallen unconscious. Since then, he hasn’t opened his eyes.

On the other hand, Devil Fennu was still fairly decent. His regeneration sustained him and helped him recover from his mortal wounds. He only needed to treat and heal the poison in his skin when the witch doctor showed him around.

The Witch Doctor spoke, “The Poison is cured. But the aftereffects of numbness and fatigue, no medicine or pill can heal it. You need to take a rest tonight, Lord Fennu.”

“I see... You can go and check on that fool. He only got hit by the dragon’s tail once and he fainted like that. Try your best to wake him up for tomorrow’s battle.” Devil Fennu said.

The witch doctor took his leave to check on Devil Shulan, it was Jin Baihua who accompanied Devil Fennu to rest. They stayed in one of the few buildings in the area which wasn’t completely destroyed. It was barely enough to keep two people to stay in. Devil Shulan and his kin stay in the other room while being checked by the witch doctor. Jin Baihua bumps into the witch doctor on his way back and reports to Fennu the status of Shulan.

Jin Baihua says, “A’Fen, the witch doctor says that Shulan had fallen into a coma. It would be unknown when he would wake up. What should we do?”

“Tell his kin that they don’t need to leave with us tomorrow. They can follow after that fool wakes up, if not let them stay here.” Devil Fennu said.

.....

Jin Baihua said, “Okay, I will inform them through divine sense.”

The two remained silent as the room fell into silence. Devil Fennu was gazing out the window at the ruins with a face devoid of emotion as if he were accustomed to this type of landscape. On the other hand, Jin Baihua had a query in his mind but was unsure of how to approach the person in front of him without putting him under any strain.

He could only get in close enough to sit next to Fennu, resting on his shoulder without touching the man’s wounds. They both understood how things would turn out tomorrow. Particularly Jin Baihua, who was responsible for all of these catastrophes in the Mortal Realm, their deaths cannot be prevented. They have a greater than 50% risk of dying and a less than 50% chance of having their soul obliterated.

They were aware of Lord Hei’s unpredictable nature since they had spoken with him. If he is in a good mood, they may be saved; if he is bored, they have a 50/50 chance of surviving; and if he is in a terrible temper, even if God desires to save them, they will undoubtedly perish. That is how domineering Lord Hei is perceived by them. On that side, in addition, are Chun Hongyun-Jun and a few more Upper Realm immortal troops. They only have His Highness Ye Zihao on their side in the interim. Even by looking at the statistics, they are losing.

Jin Baihua spoke, “A’Fen, do you think his highness can win?”

“Whether he won or not... We can only know tomorrow.” Devil Fennu responded as he laid down on the bed and pulled Jin Baihua beside him. “Sleep and take a rest. I don’t know when he will summon us to lead the demons to attack the west.”

The other races were engaged in different activities while the demon race rested. Even if Ye Zihao, who was waiting in the Infernal Region, is now sitting on his throne, he can still see events taking place in the Mortal Realm until someone purposefully blocks their view, as happened with the events in the West Territory. He couldn’t see what was happening in the west and could feel that someone was blocking him.

He didn’t resort to force to get past whatever was in his way, but he was keeping an eye on everything that had taken place in the Imperial City. He witnessed all of the interactions between Heilan and Hou Longqing. In his opinion, the scene depicting the two’s tragic love was no different from a play. Of course, the Seven Deadly Sins and the Demon Race itself bore no interest to him either. He only got involved because Devil Fennu begged him to do so since he was bored he lend help. He is whimsical by nature. He moved to rescue the demon race’s life since he had nothing else to do.

He was responsible for the ice that suddenly materialized. Heilan could only be frozen inside the ice in order to prevent himself from imploding on himself. He could, of course, make the dragon burst quicker and hurl him away to reduce the number of fatalities on the demon side, but he decided that keeping the dragon alive while imprisoning him in the ice was the best course of action at the time.

He couldn’t have been feeble enough to miss detecting the Dragon Race’s encroachment, after all.

Ye Zihao understood the moment the dragons emerged in the Mortal Realm that they were for Heilan, the little black dragon. The only Dragon to have emerged in the world of mortals and the Infernal region is him. Yet he didn’t anticipate that he would be a descendant of the ones in the Upper Realm.

Ye Zihao mumbled, “A Dragon lost in the lower realm, fell in love with a mortal, and wanted to die for love. In the end, he is just a fool.”

Ye Zihao wasn’t even aware that the sorrow and jealousy that were flashing in his silver eyes were feelings of this nature. Once more, he appeared to be falling asleep as he shut his eyes. sleeping without a cause, as if this were his only mode of passing his time.

West Territory, Western City...

The broad space in front of the gates of the west city was filled with countless survivors. They arrived suddenly, which first surprised the guards guarding the area. But, when they noticed a group of cultivators—most of them were wearing white robes—flying towards the gates, they quickly comprehended the situation. Yun Huaxia, the sect leader of the Lan Zhuayun Sect, and Lu Yi in his soul form were in charge.

When they noticed that the final few batches had come with wounds and blood on them, Lu Yi frowned. Sect Master Yun ordered the disciples present to give the injured priority after witnessing this situation.

“Separate the wounded. Prioritized those who were badly injured and asked the Medicine Hall to come over!” Yun Huaxia ordered.

The Lan Zhuayun Sect’s disciples accepted their task and divided into groups. One of them takes out for the Sect in a hurry and asks the Medicine Hall for assistance. While the others check the lethality of injuries among the wounded, the rest divide the injured. The survivors quickly relaxed after observing the tranquility of the scene in front of them because of their activities, which were smooth and organized.

Lu Yi spoke, “Erdi, only the little princess had come. She is badly injured as well.”

“Longqing didn’t come? You tell us what happened.” Yun Huaxia said to the Hou Long Sect disciples that they were protecting the unconscious and injured princess.

As they were questioned about what transpired in the Imperial City prior to their arrival, all of the survivors displayed terror and began to tremble. The initial groups of survivors fared well since they were unaware of what had occurred. The people who were transferred last, however, had obvious horror in their eyes and intense anger that they were unable to contain.

“It’s that traitor! Jin Baihua!! He brought the demon race to the capital. At first, we thought that the barrier wouldn’t break. A devil tried to punch the barrier a few times and it wouldn’t budge who would have thought it would suddenly crack and a hole was created.”

“After the hole was made countless demons entered the city. They kill all in their path and destroy everything that blocks their way. The Human Emperor and his Dragon choose to stay behind and block the demons.”

“How many demons are there in the estimate?” Lu Yi asked.

“A few millions.”

Everyone in the vicinity was stunned into silence by this response. How many millions are there?

By using only the eyes, it might signify an infinite number of things. The distinction between the two races is negligible when compared to the remainder of humanity. One grain can still be distinguished from another even when the latter, the sand cannot be counted separately.

The survivors continue to tell Yun Huaxia and Lu Yi about what they had experienced and tell them all the details they could remember.

“There are only four humanoid devils. Two of them we can’t see through their cultivation. The other two... you know one of them. It’s that bastard, Jin Baihua. His strength is still at Golden Core Stage though it has reached its peak. He might be an Early Soul Transformation Cultivator we don’t know. The other one we don’t know but he is a bit weaker than the traitor. The rest were low and mid-level demons with beast forms.”

“Before we left, a Devil named Shulan attacked as he especially targeted her highness. It looks like he wasn’t that strong in the direct fight but Jin Baihua got involved and badly hurt the princess. The generals had sacrificed themselves to bring her highness and us away. As for what happened to his majesty after we left. We don’t know.”

“I wonder if his majesty and Lord Heilan are still alive?”

Yun Huaxia and Lu Yi also wondered about this question but had no time to waste as the people. The Medicine Hall had arrived. The usual procedure was followed for new residents. The survivors were all registered and the leader of their group was chosen.

It was Princess Hou who was still unconscious. While her highness hadn’t woken up yet, the elders from the Hou Long Sect who had survived took the task of guiding the survivors from the Capital. Princess Hou was transferred to the Medicine Hall for patients waiting for her to wake up. She didn’t wake up until the next day.

Meanwhile, Yun Huaxia, Lu Yi, Lu Er, Bai Qiyin, and Jin Shiyan all went to the Crimson Cloud Peak to ask about the next plans for when the Demons came to attack them.

Xia Jieye responded nonchalantly, “Elder brother and rest can lead the war. As for the Devils and Jin Baihua, you can leave it to Baoshi and Qingyu to handle.”

“I want to go to Jin Baihua. I want to beat him up myself.” Lu Er said.

Lu Yi said, “You know that’s impossible. He is now at Peak Golden Core Stage and might have entered the Soul Transformation Stage, you are only at Mid Golden Core Stage. How can you beat him?”

“I don’t care! I want to fight him!” said Lu Er.

Hei Anjing spoke, “Okay, you fight him. Let your brother accompany you by then. But I wanted him alive.”

The Lu Brothers showed foolish startled looks on their faces as they were shocked by Hei Anjing’s suggestion. Yun Huaxia and the other two didn’t expect him to say this as well. After all, Lu Yi no longer has his physical body. He is the only soul right now.

Yun Huaxia asked, “Is it possible for Dage to fight in his soul form?”

“Not in soul form of course.” Hei Anjing said as he looked at his husband with a playful and meaningful smile.

Xia Jieye remained silent but he knew what his wife’s words meant. He obviously wanted him to create a temporary vessel for Lu Yi’s soul. In this case, he can only provide an empty yet non-living vessel. In this case, a Soul Puppet is the most probable answer.

As the creator of System Yue and System Yang, Hei Anjing knew his husband’s talent for creation, for things like this Xia Jieye is much more talented than his brother, Shen Siwang.

Xia Jieye said, “I can only make him a one-time-use vessel. But I will make sure he is able to wield his qi and his former techniques.”

“That’s great! I’ll leave it to you Yun Xiajie. Please make me a strong body!” Lu Yi said.
