I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 23

The identities of the Three Dragons outside of the Azure Dragon Hall were kept secret. When Elder Mingjing suddenly changed sides, Xiao Yuntian, Shangguan Song, and the others were also surprised. However, their subordinates didn’t slow down at all and were charging ahead to kill Nie Hua, Xie Xingmang, and the other cultists.

Chen Luoyang’s imperial carriage that was pulled by six dragons had emerged from the horizon unhurriedly.

“Third Senior, go!” Xie Xingmang yelled out sternly. “Escape even if you are the only one!”

He had the title as Extinction Sword, and among the Sword Pavilion Five Heroes, he had the most lethality and was the most ruthless. His sword presence was sharp and decisive.

Sword intent was surging into the sky at this moment, and each of his moves was executed as though his life depended on it, managing to repel Shangguan Song and Elder Mingjing. Afterward, he united with his sword and slashed indiscriminately at Xiao Yuntian.

Xiao Yuntian frowned and had no choice but to deal with Xie Xingmang’s sword edge.

Nie Hua took a glance…

One of the two Great Xia Empire’s martial kings was attacking aggressively and confronting the Demon Cult’s Protector Zhurong, Zhang Tianheng. He was being pressured and was constantly taking steps back. The other martial king might be slippery; however, he was surrounded by the Demon Cult’s Protector Xingtian, Hong Yan, and Protector Kuafu, Wang Dubao. It was impossible for him to escape.

Elder Mingjing and Shangguan Song who Xie Xingmang had desperately repelled had caught up again. Xie Xingmang couldn’t even be bothered to talk and was slashing at Elder Mingjing like a mad tiger.

Nie Hua and Xie Xingmang had been interacting with each other in the discipleship for many years and had a close relationship. Their hearts were nearly interlinked.

How could Nie Hua not understand that Xie Xingmang was informing him that it was fine to die together because of their brotherhood? However, if no one from today’s incident made it out, Elder Mingjing would continue to be an infiltrator.

Today’s matter might just happen to their seniors, juniors, or other orthodox factions in the future!

This was reasoning that Nie Hua understood well.

He took a glance at Elder Mingjing and fused with his sword light before flying far away into the sky like a rainbow.

The Demon Cult Master’s Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage was about to arrive. If Nie Hua hesitated any longer, he wouldn’t be able to leave anymore.

If Nie Hua was to escape successfully, he wouldn’t waste the sacrifices of his comrades, and it would be the best repayment to them who risked their lives to let him escape.

Nie Hua’s speed was one of the fastest among everyone present. With a flash of the sword light, he was instantly flying far away.

“I will go and chase.”

Xiao Yuntian turned into wind and vanished from where he was. He chased after rapidly, and his speed didn’t seem to be slower than the sword light. Xie Xingmang wanted to obstruct, but Elder Mingjing and Shangguan Song held Xie Xingmang back.

On the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage…

Vajra turned around and looked at Chen Luoyang. “Cult Master…”

“His agility is rather good.” Chen Luoyang sat high up and remained unmoved. “But, it is good that the senior and junior are skillful, but you people still need more training.”

Vajra smiled apologetically and said, “Cult Master is right to lecture us. My agility isn’t better than that Flying Sword. Otherwise, I would definitely chase after him and seize him back for Cult Master to deal with.”

Vajra wished he could slap himself four times on the left and right, then again on the right and left.

In terms of age, Chen Luoyang was even younger than Nie Hua, but… what was the status of the Cult Master? What was his cultivation?

Nie Hua and Xie Xingmang’s master, the Sword Pavilion Lord, was an equal match for his Cult Master.

As the master of a cult, Chen Luoyang had plenty of formidable subordinates. Did he have to chase after the enemy personally? What logic was that?

If they couldn’t make the Sword Sovereign’s disciple stay, it would only reflect on the incompetence of the Demon Cult experts.

“Left Envoy Xiao is known as the ‘Wind Duke’. His exceptional agility is renowned in the entire world. He will surely be able to bring Nie Hua back,” Vajra said with a hesitant tone.

“It doesn’t matter.” Chen Luoyang didn’t really care and said, “Go down and bring those shining shards up from the valley. This Seat wants to see them.”

Vajra quickly descended the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage and started to search the valley.

The sword whetstone that Xie Xingmang broke was now scattered in the mountain range. The sword intent might be duller from the shards, but the radiance had yet to dim, and it was still dazzling in the mountains. Vajra gathered the shards and returned to the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage before presenting them to Chen Luoyang.

Chen Luoyang randomly picked up one of the shards, while his heart was thumping vigorously.

The mystical sword intent contained within the shards was actually vaguely affecting the injury in his body.

It is related to the Sword Sovereign… It is the Sword Sovereign’s sword whetstone. Perhaps it is due to the frequent contact during cultivation, but after days and months, it has accumulated the Clear Sky Divine Sword’s sword intent.

After having it go through a special treatment, Nie Hua and Xie Xingmang were able to borrow this treasure and carry out the plan to impersonate their master.

Chen Luoyang gradually understood.

However, it was only able to put on a pretense, and it didn’t possess any true combat ability. It was purely a paper tiger.

But, would I be able to use it to recover…?

Chen Luoyang thought in his heart.

His injuries were caused by the Sword Pavilion Lord’s Clear Sky Divine Sword. The source of the problem should be the solution to the problem.

If I wish to recover faster, it will be best with the aid of the Clear Sky Divine Sword. Ying Qingqing’s side is still a mystery, and it is hard for anyone to be at ease. Could this thing be an opportunity?

Chen Luoyang communicated with the mysterious black pot in his mind which was also called the Ancient Divine Pot in the Demon Cult.

How can I make use of this shattered sword whetstone to recover my injury?

The blood-red serum in the pot reduced by a little.

Chen Luoyang was invigorated.

This is promising.

Chen Luoyang carefully read the blood-red group of words that appeared at the mouth of the pot. After reading, he was immersed in deep thoughts.

After analyzing and using the Clear Sky sword intent in the sword whetstone, along with the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir, my recovery period will be shortened to around 40 days.

If I look for a person proficient in the Clear Sky Divine Sword to help with my recuperation, along with the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir, my recovery period will be 30 days.

Because the sword whetstone only contains the remnants of the sword intent and not the actual Clear Sky sword qi, the effects are slightly weaker?

Even with all three factors, the recovery period is still at 30 days and not any shorter. It might only be a difference of 10 days, but now that there is a storm rising in the Grand Divine Province, a lot of things can happen in 10 days.

Something life-threatening might just happen… It seems like I can use the Ten Revolution Primary Elixir and the sword whetstone first. I cannot relax on Ying Qingqing’s side either. I shall act according to changes in the situation.

After making appropriate plans for later, Chen Luoyang shifted his attention back to the battle at the Shu Mountains. The outcome of the battle was already decided.

Zhang Tianheng was extremely violent, and after a hard confrontation, he smashed his opponent to death with his fists.

Even though he had also suffered some injuries, he was still all smiles. “Satisfying! It has been a long time since I encountered such a satisfying opponent!”

“You are satisfied, but his mouth will remain shut forever. We might miss out on important information,” the hunchbacked Wang Dubao coughed lightly and said.

Zhang Tianheng didn’t mind and said, “That old eunuch that you guys captured is enough. It is always those inside-attendants who hold the secrets.”

By the side, that pale and beardless Great Xia Empire’s chief eunuch had already been captured by Hong Yan and Wang Dubao.

At this moment, only the Sword Pavilion’s Fourth Sir was still stubbornly resisting. Elder Mingjing and Shangguan Song didn’t wish to end their lives in mutual destruction; therefore, they were patiently dealing with Xie Xingmang.

Chen Luoyang looked down from the sky. After 10 great martial kings had exchanged moves at the Shu Mountains below, the mountain ridges had already collapsed, and some were razed flat by the sword lights. The mountain ridge had nearly turned into a large basin.

Xie Xingmang and Elder Mingjing were both using aggressive and sharp moves, while Shangguan Song seemed like he was much more relaxed.

Shangguan Song cultivated the Day of Change Technique, which was one of the Demon Cult’s six unrivaled absolute arts.

During the recent period of time, Chen Luoyang was studying this absolute art. As he observed and verified by the side, he had gained some insights.

However, Chen Luoyang heard Vajra trying to curry favor as he laughed and said, “Cult Master, that old Shangguan’s slow and soft fighting style is making you annoyed, right? I will go down and help.”

In response, Chen Luoyang turned to look at Vajra.

Vajra’s smile froze a little as he quickly explained, “Cult Master, I do not have the intention to degrade our Divine Cult’s absolute art. I just thought that Cult Master always disliked the Day of Change Technique. That’s why I wish to go down and help to settle the battle quickly.”

Chen Luoyang had an expressionless face but was raging in his heart.

This Demon Cult Master… He is just a damned freaking pit digger!contemporary romance
