Chapter 6

Outside the bamboo structure, the members of the Great Xia Empire were creating a disturbance. The ruler of this prefecture, Shu Prefecture Governor’s expression turned grim.

In front of him, a giant figure of light that was 20-meters tall was gradually formed. This was a symbol of a martial dao expert’s exquisite cultivation, the ability to congeal their martial dao intent.

The members of the Great Xia Empire were facing a martial king! An absolute expert who was minimally at the 10th stage, Intent Congealing Stage.

A great martial king who had the status of a grandmaster actually addressed himself as a coachman? Who would be able to command a grandmaster as a servant?

It wasn’t a problem for a martial king to massacre a B-class faction alone. If a martial king established his own faction, he would be the dictator of an A-class faction. If he was willingly serving as a servant and the “Cult Master” that he mentioned respectfully could only be that person in the Divine Province…

The Demon Cult Master, Chen Luoyang.

Was the world’s No. 1 devil currently in this manor?

When everyone realized this point, there was an uproar. They looked left and right with faces that were showing fear.

Inside the bamboo structure, when Chen Luoyang saw the commotion, he was muttering in his heart:

It doesn’t seem like the people outside have sensed that Vajra is speaking from the bamboo structure. They have yet to discover our location. I wonder if it is Vajra’s ability, or if it is the bamboo structure’s special trait.

When talking about Vajra…

Chen Luoyang looked outside the bamboo structure.

When the 20-meter humanoid figure of light was completely congealed and stabilized, it was presented as a bold and powerful image of Vajra.

Vajra had a dignified expression and was incomparably ferocious. He looked sturdy and indestructible. He looked extremely sharp and could sever anything.

Both the extremity of offense and defense were gathered on this body.

When Chen Luoyang saw the Vajra’s illusory image, he involuntarily thought of something else.

Both and the life resume provided by the black pot had mentioned the Great Vajra Temple.

They once ruled the Divine Province’s western frontier, the Snow Domain Plateau, and were one of this world’s strongest martial dao sacred lands.

Back then, they were personally vanquished by the Demon Cult Master!

Right now, standing beside Chen Luoyang was a burly man called Vajra. Be it his code name or his martial dao cultivation, he looked like he came from Great Vajra Temple’s lineage.

Outside the bamboo structure, the Shu Prefecture Governor found it hard to believe. “Does this honored sir come from the Great Vajra Temple? With your cultivation stage, you must be a Law King if not an Upper Master. Why would honored sir throw yourself into the Demon Cult and willing serve as the Demon Sovereign’s servant?”

Vajra chuckled and said, “A wretched place like the Great Vajra Temple should have been eradicated long away. When they provoked the Divine Cult, it was the Cult Master who personally delivered that group of monks into reincarnation. It is their fortune.”

“Law King or Upper Master is all just nonsense. How can it be comparable to the glory of accompanying my Divine Cult Master?”

Vajra then said with a prideful expression, “If you people are clever, you should quickly kneel down and greet my Divine Cult Master with respect. If Cult Master is gracious today, you might be able to keep your lives.”

Everyone revealed terrified expressions when facing the giant Vajra.

The Great Vajra Temple was eradicated by the Demon Cult Master; therefore, the Demon Cult should be a mortal enemy of the Great Vajra Temple. However, a martial king of the Great Vajra Temple had actually been subdued by the Demon Cult Master.

Furthermore, he didn’t just join the Demon Cult willingly, he had bent his knees as a slave.

How terrifying was the Demon Cult Master?

The Shu Prefecture Governor yelled out loudly and steadied everyone’s hearts, “The demon might be powerful but will naturally be punished by His Majesty, the Sword Sovereign. The Demon Cult is arrogant and rampant. Our Central Divine Province has more than enough experts, and the Demon Cult will never have its turn to rule over us. You might be a martial king, but you bent over and scrapped for favor. You surrendered to your enemy and have violated the inheritance of the Vajra’s true intent. You are merely strong in appearance, but weak on the inside!”

Vajra laughed heartily in response. “There is only death for those who see our Divine Cult as the enemy. You fool, you have just been promoted two months ago, yet you have already forgotten. You are able to take over as the Shu Prefecture Governor because the previous governor has been killed by the experts from our Divine Cult’s Azure Dragon Hall.”

Vajra laughed and said, “I am merely strong in appearance, but weak on the inside? Then why don’t you try me?”

Vajra didn’t move in the bamboo structure, but the giant figure of Vajra had taken a step forward. This single step had instantly produced a tornado in the manor. A murderous intent enveloped everyone from the Great Xia Empire. Those with weaker cultivation had turned soft and couldn’t catch their breath. They couldn’t even turn to flee, even though they thought about doing so. The Shu Prefecture Governor’s face was now ashen.

There was only a difference of one stage between the 9th and 10th stages. However, the chasm between martial master and martial king, between master and grandmaster, was extremely huge.

The people behind the Shu Prefecture Governor looked up at the giant Vajra while their faces were revealing despair. Right at this moment, the advancing Vajra suddenly stopped.

Inside the bamboo structure, Vajra’s face had changed. His smiling and chuckling expressions that remained there the whole time had suddenly vanished. His expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and his eyes were staring straight towards something far away.

Chen Luoyang felt rather odd. Subsequently, he saw an old monk appear in the manor’s courtyard all of a sudden and walk towards the bamboo structure.

The old monk was tall and skinny; he had a wrinkled face, and he looked like a stick of bamboo that couldn’t even withstand the wind. However, he didn’t stop walking and was advancing towards the giant Vajra without fear. Instead, Vajra was the one that took a step back when facing this old monk!

The boundless murderous aura had also vanished. The people of the Great Xia Empire felt as though they had returned to the mortal realm from hell.

“Law King Huijue!” The Shu Prefecture Governor let out a breath of relief.

The old monk nodded to the Prefecture Governor and said, “Being a Law King is already a thing of the past. This old monk is here today to clean up my Great Vajra Temple’s lineage.”

Inside the bamboo structure, Chen Luoyang turned to look at Vajra in response. Vajra had an unpleasant expression and was gritting his teeth.

From outside the structure, Law King Huijue’s sight penetrated the giant Vajra and looked directly at the bamboo structure. “Baoshu, come then. Let this old monk see how much you have improved over the last two years.”

After hearing Law King Huijue addressing Vajra, the Shu Prefecture Governor knitted his brows tightly again. “Master Baoshu?! One of the rare few Upper Masters in the history of the Great Vajra Temple? One of the most outstanding prodigies back then actually joined the Demon Cult!”

Inside the bamboo structure, Chen Luoyang took a side glance at Vajra. Vajra had already reverted back to normal attire, and it was no longer possible to see the appearance of a monk.

Vajra said in a cold tone, “Back when my Divine Cult Master extinguished the Great Vajra Temple, you happened to be venturing outside and were able to avoid the calamity. Instead of hiding with your tail between your legs, you actually delivered yourself to us?”

Law King Huijue’s aged face remained calm as he said, “With concern in my heart, it is hard to meditate. This old monk needs to sever the karma in order to see peace.”

Vajra sneered. “Do you think you are fit to look for our Cult Master to sever the karma?”

“If the Demon Sovereign is here, that will be for the best,” Law King Huijue said in a composed tone. “The battle between the two sovereigns ended with both parties severely injured. It is hard to come by this opportunity.”

The old monk looked towards the bamboo structure and said, “The Demon Sovereign is severely injured, and it is a good time for this old monk to sever the karma with him. If his injuries are minor, then this old monk shall give up his life to make sure that the Demon Sovereign suffers more severe injuries. In the future, someone will definitely be able to claim his life. If he isn’t here, then it means that it is your turn to reincarnate. This old monk shall clean up the lineage, and all of the demonic subordinates here shall be removed. No one should think about escaping.”

While speaking, Law King Huijue had also congealed a golden and limpid vajra statue that looked like it was made of diamond.

The two vajra statues were emitting a martial dao intent that was basically the same.

However, when the second vajra statue appeared, its imposing presence immediately pressured the first vajra statue to step back!

Inside the bamboo structure, Vajra’s face was switching between the colors of white and green. He then faced Chen Luoyang and lowered his head in shame.

Azure Dragon 5 helped to mediate the embarrassing situation by saying, “Cult Master, Law King Huijue is the Great Vajra Temple’s former elder back then and has cultivated bitterly for many years. Before the Great Vajra Temple was destroyed, he was already at the 11th stage and is a martial king of the Apotheosis Stage…”

Chen Luoyang recalled the descriptions from .

They were both martial kings, but the martial king of the 11th Apotheosis Stage had a great advantage over the 10th Intent Congealing Stage. Apotheosis Stage martial kings had a huge superiority in senses. When fighting with an enemy, Apotheosis Stage martial kings would have a slight resonance with the enemy. Once the enemy had a thought or intent, the martial king would sense it.

The ability to detect unexpected changes had a great effect on subduing the enemy before the start of the battle.

In most cases, only Apotheosis Stage martial kings could contest with Apotheosis Stage martial kings.

Vajra’s cultivation was lower by one stage, and if he fought with Law King Huijue, his attack method would be completely seen through by Law King Huijue.

“Elder Fu, Elder Lu, and Elder Shou are all out right now. I cannot allow this wretched monk Huijue to continue and disturb Cult Master to make a move personally, right?” Vajra gritted his teeth and said, “After cultivating both the Divine Cult’s absolute martial arts and the Great Vajra Temple’s martial arts, I… definitely will be able to defeat that old wretched monk. Cult Master, please leave him for me to handle.”

Hearing your tone, it sounds like you aren’t very confident…

Chen Luoyang muttered in his heart.

The first half of Vajra’s statement had caused Chen Luoyang’s heart to turn half cold. It seemed like among all the experts that were accompanying him, this burly man was already the strongest. The rest of the formidable experts weren’t around right now.

Remote waters couldn’t put out a close fire.

If this burly man lost, then Chen Luoyang who was the Demon Cult Master would have to make a move personally. However, he had just arrived in this world and wasn’t familiar with martial dao. Furthermore, he still had severe injuries. How was he going to fight?

If he escaped… Even if he was able to escape, his reputation would drop to rock bottom. He would also be exposing the fact that he was severely injured. By then, would this servile Vajra still be as loyal? It was probably hard to say…
