After gathering the Dragon Spirit Grass, the group continued on their way.
"Heh heh heh!"
Just then, a lecherous laugh came from ahead.
"The fairies of Flower Thousand Valley really are fresh and lovely!"
"Why don't you come play with us boys?"
Several Demon Race prodigies surrounded a human girl, their faces covered in lecherous grins.
Their heated gazes roamed brazenly over her figure.
Her swelling peaks in particular seemed ready to burst free like ripe honey peaches, exciting them even further and deepening the frenzy on their faces!
"Even if I die today, I won't let you have your way!"
As she spoke, the girl's delicate hands moved swiftly, drawing an exquisite longsword to slit her own throat!
"A few demons dare to humiliate a woman of our human race?"
"Then I, Su, will have to have a word with you."
Several figures emerged from the forest.
They looked very young, but their terrifying auras inspired dread. Every one of them was actually a Young Supreme!
When their gazes landed on the White-Clad Figure at their head, they froze completely!
"Su, Su..."
"Su Changge!"
The Demon Race prodigies' expressions changed drastically with fright!
Su Changge's fearsome reputation these days was no empty boast. He had killed Jin Aoyang of the Golden Winged Great Peng Clan with a single punch and even broken the Heavenly Questioning Mirror's record!
"The Divine Son of the Returning Origin Holy Land..."
The human girl who had been about to slit her throat also stopped her sword, stunned.
There was no longer any mist concealing Su Changge's face, and his outrageously handsome features were fully revealed to the world.
His faint smile in particular felt like a caress of spring breeze, putting people very much at ease.
"Su Changge, our well water doesn't interfere with your river water. This is Demon Race territory. I advise you not to-"
But before that Demon Race prodigy could finish speaking-
Boom!
A terrifying streak of sword light shot from Su Changge's fingertip!
Half of them were instantly cut down!
A great swath of trees behind them toppled as well. Even the clouds overhead seemed to have been cleaved by a force, leaving the blue sky washed clean and the world clear.
The terrifying pressure of the sword energy was like February's frost, cold enough to pierce the bones!
"If I'm not mistaken, the Heavenly Wolf Clan is merely a middling faction among the Demon Race."
"And you dare threaten this Divine Son?"
Hum!
Even more terrifying sword energy descended, its earth-shaking sword intent piercing straight into the ninth heaven!
His indifferent eyes in particular seemed to look down upon all life in the world.
"I'll leave these remaining fellows for you to practice on." Su Changge waved his hand, and the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters behind him stepped forward.
Dazzling divine light intertwined, divine lightning spread, and flames roared!
Any one of them far surpassed the Demon Race prodigies before them!
"Using the strong against the weak and the many against the few violates righteousness!"
"Righteousness?" Su Changge actually laughed. Why fight one-on-one when they could gang up on them?
Unless someone had the protagonist's halo, fighting one-on-one was fraught with danger.
"Fine, then let's do this."
Su Changge stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Go on. Pick anyone you like from the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters of my Returning Origin Holy Land."
The leading Demon Race prodigy's expression darkened. Gritting his teeth, he picked a delicately built Holy Daughter from among them.
"Ningxin, step forward."
Just as that Holy Daughter stepped forward, Su Changge changed tack. "Everyone except you, attack together."
Rumble!
Ten thousand thunderclaps rang out in that man's heart, and ten thousand grass-mud horses instantly stampeded through his mind!
The demon youth had never expected the other party to play like this!
Pointing at Su Changge, he cursed loudly, "Aren't you just bullying an honest man?!"
"Oh, you've got some attitude, kid."
"I like that kind of personality."
Su Changge waved his hand. "Go. Remember, scatter even their ashes for me."
"As you command, Divine Son."
The Heavenly Wolf Clan Heavenly Pride's expression changed drastically. He could already smell death. "You..."
"I'm a successor of the Heavenly Wolf Clan! You dare..."
But before he could finish, the Saint Sons and Saint Daughters instantly unleashed the spiritual energy within their bodies!
Rumble!
All manner of divine lights and runes exploded continuously, laws wailed, and heaven and earth trembled!
Before long, the Heavenly Wolf Clan Heavenly Prides were dead.
Not even their ashes remained.
"This humble girl is Mo Yanxi. Thank you for lending your aid, Lord Divine Son."
Mo Yanxi curtsied, gratitude in her eyes.
Su Changge was also studying the girl before him.
Bright eyes, pearly teeth, pure as ice and flawless as jade.
Her bearing was ethereal and elegant, yet the fluctuations within her soul gave him a strange feeling, as though they did not belong to someone her age.
Golden runes swirled in Su Changge's eyes.
A line of golden writing appeared above her head.
[Mo Yanxi: Destiny points, 496.]
"Pfft..."
Su Changge nearly choked. Her destiny points were a full twice what Luo Yan's had been before!
This was one big leek... no, a Daughter of Great Destiny!
"Lord Divine Son, you..."
Seeing Su Changge staring fixedly at her, Mo Yanxi's pretty face flushed red.
It had to be said that people were naturally defenseless against beautiful things. Su Changge's looks made him seem even gentler to her, and she could not help wanting to draw close.
"It's nothing. You've been through an ordeal, miss. I was being presumptuous."
"This is a Returning Origin Nourishing Pill. Please take it quickly. It can help restore some of your spiritual energy."
"Xin Yan, come look after this young lady."
After Yun Xinyan helped her aside to rest, Su Changge activated Aura Insight again.
This was to prevent her from noticing anything amiss.
[Mo Yanxi: One of the Twelve Fairies of Flower Thousand Valley. She is the reincarnation of Flower Thousand Valley's legendary Female Emperor, the Peach Blossom Female Emperor Hua Qianyue. Before long, the Female Emperor of old will return, reclaim her peak, and forge an undying legend.]
Hua Qianyue?
Su Changge's pupils contracted. She had been a ruthless Female Emperor of her generation, someone who had obtained a Heavenly Mandate back then.
She had even razed every faction that offended her during her lifetime, leaving neither chickens nor dogs alive and sending them all to the heavens!
He had heard that she eventually set foot on the Path to Immortality, and after she went to the legendary Immortal Realm, no further stories about her had been heard.
Su Changge propped up his chin. This little girl looked harmless to humans and animals alike, and even seemed somewhat timid and shy around strangers.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. A ruthless Female Emperor of her generation, now so gentle and pitiable. That can only mean one thing."
"Her soul is probably residing within this body and hasn't fully awakened yet. Presumably, it needs some sort of trigger."
"The Peach Blossom Female Emperor?"
Su Changge had an idea.
If he could turn her into his future tool, having a Female Emperor as his hired muscle would be pretty good!
At that thought, the corners of Su Changge's mouth slowly curled upward.
Why has the way Lord Divine Son looks at me changed...
Could he dislike me now...?
Mo Yanxi stole a somewhat timid glance at Su Changge.
Why did that look in his eyes seem a little wicked again?
