Chapter 300: Plan Set in Motion

Chapter 300: Plan Set in Motion

The War Princess knew that the Inscription Cultivator, Fu Longxiang, had left the team! She even informed Yun Xiao about this, urging him to be wary of the man. But what she never anticipated was that under the protection of that Old Chu, Yun Xiao would not only capture Fu Longxiang but also tame the Calamity Seal Sword.

"How did you manage it?" The War Princess stared at him, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief.

"It's as easy as killing a chicken," Yun Xiao said casually.

"Freak..."

The War Princess was at a loss for words to describe him.

Fu Longxiang was the number one genius of the Nine Hells, a figure she, the War Princess, could only envy and look up to in the past.

"Why didn't you just kill him? What devilish plot are you concocting now?" the War Princess asked suspiciously.

"Come here," Yun Xiao said.

"Huh?" As soon as the War Princess approached him, she tensed up. Her body glowed with a more radiant hue, warmed by the blood of the Mortal Dust Devil, giving off a scorching sensation.

"You smell nice," Yun Xiao whispered suddenly in her ear.

"Is, is that so? When we devils... get nervous, we do emit a fragrance..." the War Princess stammered.

"A natural beauty," Yun Xiao remarked softly.

"Th-thank you for the compliment." The War Princess was on the verge of tears, hugging her arms around herself, feeling ants crawling all over her body, unable to face him.

And at that moment, Yun Xiao just sniffed her for a while, then whispered a few words in her ear, "Just do as I say."

"You're so cruel..." the War Princess gasped after listening to him.

"Cruel?" Yun Xiao pinched her cheek and said coldly, "Little slave, I'm giving your Endless Netherworld a way out for your sake, which is quite generous of me."

"I have a name, I'm..."

"It's not important." Yun Xiao interrupted her.

"...Yes." The War Princess hung her head in dejection.

"Good, go do your task," Yun Xiao said, patting her head.

Though she was tall, Yun Xiao's higher stance made this action a bit of a stretch!

"...Yes." She lowered her head, took a few steps back, picked up the cloth bag, and turned to leave. After a few steps, she stopped, turned back with a ghostly gaze, and asked with a trembling voice, "If... if I am willing to serve you, will my status be elevated in your presence?"

"No," Yun Xiao replied flatly.

"Fine then." The War Princess bit her lip, tears of frustration and humiliation falling.

"Besides, what I do doesn't depend on whether you're willing or not," Yun Xiao stated coldly.

"Ah?" Her tears fell even harder.

"Don't overstep your bounds. Be thankful you're still alive. You think I'm going to spoil you and put you on a pedestal?" Yun Xiao said.

"Understood." The War Princess took a deep breath. "Anyway, I'm just your slave. In front of others, it's still quite exhilarating..."

"Good, now get to work!" Yun Xiao glared at her.

"Ha!" The War Princess scoffed coldly, "Believe it or not! If you don't, you might as well accuse me and my Endless Netherworld. If I knew you were this foolish, I wouldn't have bothered dragging him out. Might as well have fed him to the dogs."

After speaking, she stuck out her tongue at the Lion Duke, "Scared me to death just now. Luckily, I hid quickly and didn't move, or I would've been gone too. Next time, I definitely won't wander out alone."

"This place is too dangerous. I told you to go back to the palace, but you still wandered off?" The Lion Duke was sweating bullets. Thankfully, the mishap didn't involve her. Otherwise, he would be even more despondent than Gongyang Sheng.

"But speaking of which, weren't we supposed to move together? How did Fu Longxiang go off on his own?" The Lion Duke turned to Gongyang Sheng.

"I..." Gongyang Sheng was on the verge of tears. Fu Longxiang's decision was his own, and beyond Gongyang Sheng's control.

In fact, he couldn't suspect the devils, as he had just been playing chess with the Lion Duke, with the Fate Ocean Realm devils by his side.

So, the only possibilities were Yun Xiao and Ling Chen.

The Lion Duke said, "Gongyang Sheng, the only way you can save yourselves now is by bringing back the heads of the two Exiled Sword Immortals as atonement."

"I know" The group of Inscription Cultivators exchanged glances, filled with grief and burning rage.

"War Princess, are you sure it was Exile Ling who acted?" Gongyang Sheng asked through clenched teeth.

"Heh, believe it or not," the War Princess rolled her eyes, "Oh, and your Calamity Seal Sword was also taken. When you get the chance, see who has it, and everything will be clear."

"The Calamity Seal Sword!"

The Inscription Cultivators looked at each other, their hearts sinking further.

"We must take it back!" Gongyang Sheng said grimly.

"What a tragedy" The Inscription Cultivators sighed deeply.

"These Sword Cultivators are completely obsessed for the sake of those two Exiled Sword Immortals. It's bad enough they're enemies with our Endless Netherworld, but now they dare to kill the heir of the Calamity Seal Purgatory. They've disowned their kin to dominate the Nine Hells," the Lion Duke sneered.

"This enmity is irreconcilable... The entire Sword Ruins must pay a heavy price!" Gongyang Sheng said viciously.

"In that case, these two Exiled Sword Immortals truly deserve death" The Lion Duke turned to his subordinates, "Haven't we located them yet?"

"The sky and land here are vast. Finding a group of people takes time," Feng You explained.

"If we find them, let's join forces and act," the Lion Duke said to Gongyang Sheng, comforting him.

Just then, an Inscription Cultivator hurried back, excitedly announcing, "I've found the location of a group of Sword Cultivators!"

"Whose?" Gongyang Sheng asked coldly.

"It should be Exile Ling's group. They were hiding deep, but a demon tide forced them to reveal themselves!" The Inscription Cultivator was unaware of Fu Longxiang's fate and spoke excitedly, "Even though Exile Ling is surrounded by the Ku Family, who are related to the Lady, that won't stop us from eliminating Exile Ling, right?"

"Not at all" Gongyang Sheng's face twisted with ferocity, looking at the Lion Duke.

"A demon tide?" The War Princess snorted internally. Yun Xiao's plans were so interconnected, each step so coincidentally timed.

After learning of Ling Chen's location, the Lion Duke's eyes turned cold. "All units, heed my command. Help our Inscription Cultivator brothers avenge their wrongs!"

"Kill!" Nearly a hundred Fate Ocean Realm troops, brimming with murderous intent, set out!
