The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 1254: Wrong Guess

Proofreader: Papatonks

Bang!

He Xiaofeng slammed hard into the ground, his body broken in every way. Worse, his soul was severely injured, needing a decade to pull himself together. But now, he didnt have any strength left in him, just like a bug.

Even a Foundation Establishment Stage could slap him into the beyond.

Hu~

Zhuo Fan drifted down, looking down at his victim with a sinister smile.

He Xiaofeng was trembling in fear, Y-youre not human! Youre a monster, spiritual beast, or a dragon! Im a Saint, the strongest human. How can you destroy my Sacred Body without even an Imperial Mark?

Ha-ha-ha, youre right, though a bit off.

Zhuo Fan shook his head, Im half beast, but not a dragon or spiritual beast. The Sacred beast Decimating Dragon Ancestor remolded my body with his scale, making it unbreakable. This right hand comes from a Soaring Qilin leg. In the Nether Sea, I gained guidance from the Tyrant Emperor. I hardly need to use anything to deal with an early Saint bigot like you. My foundation is leagues above you.

[What?!]

He Xiaofeng gaped, You have so many ancient experts behind you. Just who are you?

Former Demonic Emperor Zhuo Yifan, current Luo clans steward, Zhuo Fan.

Zhuo Fan smiled, As for the process of my second coming, Ill leave that a secret.

Gulp.

He Xiaofeng stammered, Demonic Emperor Zhuo Yifan, I heard he got Nine Serenities Sovereigns cultivation method and thats why you could avoid that calamity?

Right, but it was too late.

What are you doing? He Xiaofeng shuddered in fear.

Zhuo Fan snickered, What, you ask? Isnt it obvious? I just spilled my greatest secrets and shouldnt you offer the same consideration?

C-consideration?

Right, show some consideration by sharing as well.

Zhuo Fan smirked, raising a hand that oozed black energy, placing it on his head, I lay my heart open to you, so you must die. Since dead men tell no tales. Bye, sir Saint. Wish you great fortune to be born in the Sacred Mountains again, unlike me, to come from the bottom rung. Though I dont mind, since my base birth allowed me to send you, of lofty birth, to reincarnate, ha-ha-ha. 

N-no, dont agh

Wails of pain shuddered the forest as black energy spread out. When Zhuo Fan stood, he was surrounded by dust and rags taken by the wind.

Zhuo Fan eased a breath, A Saint sure has a strong cultivation. Its good that Ive not used Demon Transformation Art for a while. Ill need a few days to consolidate. Id rather avoid ending up like the traitor Zhao Chen, ha-ha-ha

Whoosh~

Zhuo Fans ear twitched at the sound and vanished.

[You came just in time to report to the 6th Sacred Mountain, humph.]

Whoosh~

The Enchanting Empress landed and looked around, Strange, I just saw Saints Sacred Body around here. Where is he?

Master!

Ruby Cloud Sect disciples arrived as well, Weve looked around but theres no sign of anyone.

The Enchanting Empress nodded and hesitated, Is the battle over, and so they scattered? Theres not a body around, so that means the one taking Qingcheng couldnt be stopped by a Saint? Wont it mean they have a Saint as well? 

The Enchanting Empress stepped on something that caught her attention, the dust as well as bits of familiar clothing.

This

The Enchanting Empress cried out in utter shock, This is the Saints clothing! What is it doing here? Did he get killed?

Sss~

The Enchanting Empress gasped in fear. Her knees softened and slumped to the ground shellshocked.

This is really bad! The 6th Sacred Mountains young lord died in the Ruby Cloud Sects domain. Then the lord will take it out on me. Disciples, gather everyone around at once. Well report to the 6th Sacred Mountains! 

Two weeks later, on the 6th Sacred Mountain, in a quaint and huge study, a middle-aged man with twin mustaches held dust and scraps of clothing in his hand with red eyes.  

The man exploded with a vicious aura, pulverizing his desk and everything in the room. The shivering Enchanting Empress was sent flying and coughed blood.

Who did this? Why was my son the only one to suffer in the Eight Emperors lands?

The middle-aged man roared, snapping his bloodshot eyes on the Enchanting Empress, flashing in her face and grabbing her hair. He howled in her ear, Enchanting Empress, explain yourself! What happened? Why did my son suffer in your sect?

Mountain Lord, young lords fate had nothing to do with me. We didnt do it.

Of course I know that, so stop wasting my time. You dont have what it takes!

Bam!

The Enchanting Empress got thrown into a wall as the man raged, Im asking you who killed my son in your sects domain? You better have an answer or Ill wipe the Ruby Cloud Sect from the Sacred Domain!

Mountain Lord, we will investigate this and report to you!

The Enchanting Empress kneeled again in terror.

The middle-aged man held his head with grief, Fenger, you suffered so much, not even leaving a body behind. Fenger, I thought Chu Qingcheng would be great for you in understanding Sovereign Stage. But now I shall never see you again. What of your disciple then? What happened to her? If shes devastated, I can allow her entrance into the Sacred Mountain as a widow.

Uh, she Enchanting Empress stammered.

The man turned frosty, What about her? Hasnt she been getting close to Fenger? Doesnt she care if he died? Humph, absurd, a Sacred Mountain young lord shows his care and she doesnt want it? She just doesnt know her own fortune. Fine, since theres nothing there, Ill still allow her on Sacred Mountain as my daughter-in-law, for being with Fenger for so long. But better have her clean her act as a devastated widow. Thats the only way to move me and allow her in without raising suspicion to the other mountains. Did I make myself clear?

Mountain Lord, th-thats beside the point. The Enchanting Empresss face shook hard.

The man gave her a long look, Not the point, then what is it? Im not asking her to truly feel for my son, just act like it to fool others. Whats so hard about that? How did you teach her all these years to not manage a disciple?

No, Mountain Lord, I do know how to manage my disciples and guide them after so many years together, but

What?

But she has to be present first

The man went blank, his grief all but lost, Whats that supposed to mean? Youre not saying

The Enchanting Empress lowered her head.

She was actually so in love with Fenger that she took her life? The mans mind went wild with guesses.

The Enchanting Empress blinked, lost.

[Took her life? Qingcheng and your son barely know each other. Arent you overestimating your sons charm here?]

The Enchanting Empress silence made the man angrier, Youre such a disappointment. How could you not watch your disciple? Weve been raising this prize pig for a century. Even with my son gone, she shouldnt have been harmed. Damn hag, give me back my prize pig!

The man clutched the Enchanting Empress neck with fury in his eyes.

He cared more for Chu Qingcheng than for his son.

M-m-mountain Lord, listen to me. Qingcheng is fine.

The Enchanting Empress hoarse voice barely got through.

The guy perked up and let her go, Then what was that about? I thought

She isnt here because someone took her! Enchanting Empress said.

The mans face shook, then he clutched the Enchanting Empresss neck again, but even tighter
