I Possessed a Demon Sovereign-Chapter 8

Chapter 8

When Chen Luoyang made his statement, Vajra stood up and turned to look at the members of the Great Xia Empire while grinning.

The grin didn’t look evil, but it made them feel as though their blood was running cold.

He conveniently tossed Law King Huijue’s head to the ground and allowed it to roll in front of the Great Xia Empire’s members.

In response, one of them had knees that went soft. His knees couldn’t support his body anymore, and he immediately knelt down while facing Chen Luoyang.

When hearing this, Shu Prefecture Governor turned to look at the person. That person lowered his head and said to the Prefecture Governor, “My lord, the arm cannot surpass the thigh…”

Shu Prefecture Governor looked at the ground while feeling agonized in his heart. He didn’t even know that Law King Huijue had cultivated the imperial clan’s absolute martial art, but the Demon Cult knew.

If Vajra wasn’t prepared in advance and was waiting for Law King Huijue’s move, the latter wouldn’t have been defeated in such an utterly miserable manner. Even if Law King Huijue couldn’t win, he would still have been able to escape.

No… that possibility didn’t exist from the start!

Shu Prefecture Governor laughed bitterly.

Law King Huijue has a stubborn personality, and the Demon Cult is his life-or-death nemesis, while his opponent just happens to be the Great Vajra Temple’s traitor. How is he going to swallow this grievance down? He is definitely going to risk everything to turn the tide. However, his final trump card was within the enemy’s calculation. As a result, Law King Huijue delivered himself onto the path of death. This Demon Cult Master has predicted everything…

The Shu Prefecture Governor looked at the surroundings.

Apart from Chen Luoyang who remained seated in the bamboo structure, Azure Dragon 5, Dragon Claw 11, and the rest of the Demon Cult members had surrounded them from all directions.

Right now, the Great Xia Empire’s side still had more people, but after Vajra tossed Law King Huijue’s head over, most of them had already lost their fighting spirit.

Many of the people had hopeful expressions, while there were some that had pleading expressions as they looked at the Shu Prefecture Governor.

The Shu Prefecture Governor took a deep breath and said, “If we surrender here, we might be able to keep our lives. But have you thought about the factions and relatives behind you?”

The members of the Great Xia Empire were all startled in unison.

On the bamboo structure, Chen Luoyang spoke indifferently.

“Ba-Shu

will fall into This Seat’s hands sooner or later, and it will belong to the members of my Divine Cult. By then, the Divine Cult will be very thorough and decisive. Those who have crimes will be punished, while those who have merits will be rewarded. Right now, it is up to yourselves.”

After Chen Luoyang finished his statement, Azure Dragon 5 looked at the Shu Prefecture Governor and smiled. “The Shu Prefecture is destined to be governed by our Divine Cult. If we have the help of the Prefecture Governor, I can imagine that day arriving sooner. Lord Chu, this humble Ding has long looked forward to meeting you. I always wished to have the chance to serve our Divine Cult together.”

Vajra chuckled and said, “If the Prefecture Governor and all of his subordinates are to perish overnight, it will also allow our cult to engulf the Shu Prefecture at a faster pace.”

All the Great Xia Empire’s members here were basically born in Ba-Shu. Everyone was now looking at the Shu Prefecture Governor.

The Shu Prefecture Governor’s face was switching between red and white for a long time, before he lowered his head helplessly. He knelt down on one knee towards Chen Luoyang.

Everyone else from the Great Xia Empire also knelt down in a uniform manner.

Chen Luoyang sat in the chair and said indifferently. “Not bad.”

He pointed at the Shu Prefecture Governor while saying to Vajra, Azure Dragon 5, and Dragon Claw 11, “I shall leave the rest of the matters to you. Incorporate the people outside the manor along with him.”

“Subsequently, pass down This Seat’s order to gather people and start the preparations to conquer the Shu Prefecture. This Seat wants to see this place connected as one with my cult’s sacred domain.”

“We shall comply with Cult Master’s orders!” Azure Dragon 5 and the other Demon Cult members had kowtowed in unison.

Chen Luoyang nodded before he stood up. He got off the bamboo structure and left in a swift manner.

Vajra served as his personal aide and followed behind closely.

Azure Dragon 5, Dragon Claw 11, and the others were monitoring the members of the Great Xia Empire before dealing with the aftermath of this incident.

Chen Luoyang returned to his residence in an undisturbed manner.

Previously, his heart had been in his mouth, and it was now finally back down again. That intuition of danger that he felt earlier had gradually vanished.

It was only now that Chen Luoyang believed that he hadn’t been scaring himself earlier. There were other experts hidden outside. However, Law King Huijue had been defeated in an excessively straightforward manner, and there wasn’t a chance to find out about Chen Luoyang, the Demon Cult Master’s limits. As such, the others didn’t dare to act recklessly and had retreated temporarily.

After all, not everyone was like Huijue, who set his heart on a fight to the death.

“Cult Master, Elder Fu and the two others aren’t back yet. I will continue to stay by your side so that you can have someone to serve you whenever you need.” Vajra followed at the side and said in a flattering tone, “The Azure Dragon Hall has plenty of experts and will surely be able to take down Shu Prefecture.”

Chen Luoyang took an indifferent glance at Vajra and said, “Don’t try your little ideas in front of This Seat.”

Vajra was startled and hesitated to speak.

“You would give up on the chance to gain merits and follow by This Seat’s side? Do you wish for This Seat to deal with you like how I dealt with Huijue?” Chen Luoyang asked nonchalantly.

Vajra replied honestly, “Cult Master is brilliant. My little ideas are just a joke in front of you. I hope that Cult Master will be magnanimous and will not be calculative with me. I will never dare to do the same again.”

Earlier on, he was able to defeat Law King Huijue who was superior in cultivation, all because Chen Luoyang had pointed out the flaws in Law King Huijue’s martial arts.

It started from the most proficient Vajra Karma Severance Saber, to Wise Benevolent Origin Fist, and all the way down. Even the rather fundamental Karmic Law Saber also had plenty of flaws listed out.

Since Law King Huijue couldn’t possibly correct these flaws in such a short period of time, those flaws became fatal opportunities for Vajra in battle. If Law King Huijue had been able to concentrate and correct those flaws during his everyday cultivation, then he would have naturally received plenty of benefits for his cultivation. Vajra was a martial king; therefore, it was impossible for him not to notice this point.

“You have earned yourself some merits today. With contribution, comes reward,” Chen Luoyang said unhurriedly. “But you have to know that you shouldn’t bite off more than you can chew. Your reward has already been bestowed to you.”

Vajra was startled in response as he looked rather pensive.

“The Great Vajra Temple has perished because of This Seat, but there are quite a fair bit of redeeming qualities from its inheritance. However, the precondition is to cultivate the martial arts to the utmost extent,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently. “Huijue was still far from perfect. You should avoid repeating his disastrous ending, and that should be enough for you to ponder for some time.”

“I was so pleased that I lost my sense of measure. Many thanks for Cult Master’s reminder.” Vajra was sincerely convinced. “I shall obey the Cult Master’s teachings.”

“Go and ask for This Seat, where is Ying Qingqing now?” Chen Luoyang instructed.

Vajra responded respectfully, “Yes, Cult Master. This subordinate will contact Elder Fu immediately.”

When Vajra left, the room was now, once again, left with Chen Luoyang by himself.

Chen Luoyang let out a long breath.

God damn it… that was excessively exciting.

He used his hand to fan his face.

The tense strings in his heart had finally loosened a little.

Chen Luoyang had a rather complicated expression right now. Just earlier, he finally found out how he would be able to increase the amount of blood-red serum inside the mysterious black pot.

He had used it consecutively, and it kept on declining without a method to increase it. Previously when he obtained Law King Huijue’s information, the blood-red serum was already close to depletion. However, the moment Law King Huijue perished, the blood-red serum within the black pot had actually increased a little.

Previously when the weaker martial artists were exchanging moves, and when someone was injured, the black pot didn’t have any reaction. This thing seemed to be using the vitality from the people in the vicinity as the source of the serum. When someone died, their life would transform into death, and that gave rise to the blood-red serum.

It didn’t just drink human blood, it also drank human vitality.

Chen Luoyang sighed.

It is truly evil. Does any type of vitality work? Or does it only work with martial dao practitioners? Or must their cultivation be of a certain stage in order for it to work?

Chen Luoyang shook his head and temporarily didn’t wish to think about those things.

He communicated with the black pot in his mind and asked questions about Ying Qingqing. However, the black pot’s response was still stating that there wasn’t enough serum.

To hell with it. Law King Huijue is stronger than her and didn’t need that much serum, but it is actually insufficient when asking about her?

Chen Luoyang let out a bitter smile.

A moment later, he reorganized his thoughts.

It isn’t going to be easy to find out if Ying Qingqing revealed my whereabouts in Amrita Manor. How did Law King Huijue and the others know of the information then?

Chen Luoyang frowned.

My subordinates of the Demon Cult have taken a lot of trouble to plot schemes that allow them to penetrate and scout the enemy’s territory. They used assassinations, impersonations, and bribery to weave a giant net over the Divine Province. Conversely, the Demon Cult might have spies from the other factions too. Putting aside the other positions, could there be a spy among the people that serve me directly?
