Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The dark curse that had tormented Yue Chenyu for years was finally lifted, and her spirit felt incredibly relaxed.

She had imagined Jun Wuxie suddenly appearing before her, but she knew it was just wishful thinking, almost impossible.

Now, the wishful thinking had become reality.

Leaning in his arms, she felt an indescribable sense of security, and at that moment, even if the heavens and earth collapsed, she believed he could protect her.

However, upon hearing him say he wanted to kill Pei Luoxi, Yue Chenyu's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Even with immense confidence in him, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Jun Shen..." Yue Chenyu said weakly, "Pei Luoxi's status and position in Zu Lian Village are extraordinary. Otherwise, no one would have come forward to stop him in recent years. His grandfather is an elder here, and his direct ancestors are part of this village's foundation."

She was truly worried.

This small world only allows entry and not exit. Perhaps Jun Shen will find a way out in the future, but for now, he has to stay in this world.

Therefore, it is not advisable to fall out with Zu Lian Village.

If Pei Luoxi is killed, how could the people of Zu Lian Village let it go?

"Don't talk, rest well, nourish your spirit, and we'll talk more when you recover," Jun Wuxie said, placing his finger on her pale, chapped lips, his voice and movements gentle.

Seeing her like this, his heart ached.

He knew all too well what it meant to be plagued by the dark curse.

For three whole years, she had been fighting against the dark curse, enduring extreme torment and suffering every second of those three years.

Perhaps it would have been better if he hadn't forced them to come to the upper realm back then.

At that time, he didn't know he had hope of resurrection and was afraid they wouldn't be able to accept it.

So far, most of his old friends are still missing.

"But that Pei Luoxi..."

Yue Chenyu's brow was filled with worry. At this moment, she looked incomparably delicate, with a bit less of her usual coldness and a bit more of a woman's softness.

"I have my own plans for this matter. Could it be that the Jun Shen senior brother in your heart can't even deal with a little punk like Pei Luoxi?"

Jun Wuxie smiled gently, his calm words revealing absolute confidence, which infected Yue Chenyu.

The worry between her brows gradually eased, and her tense mind also relaxed. She stopped speaking, adjusted her position in his arms, slowly closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Mu Ciyin watched quietly from the side, the scene between Jun Wuxie and Yue Chenyu making her feel warmth.

She had rarely felt warmth in her life. In the hundreds of thousands of years before this, she didn't even know what warmth was.

Practicing the Ice Heart Purification Art, her heart was clear and bright, without joy or sorrow, her emotions always maintained at a very low level.

Besides, in those years, the path she walked and the way she lived kept her away from environments where she might have encountered warmth.

The warm scene, the feeling of warmth, this genuine emotion produced between people, she only felt after coming into contact with Jun Wuxie.

Of course, she had emotions, but they were different from ordinary people's emotions.

In her Ice Heart Pavilion, everyone was not devoid of emotion. They all had their own emotions, but the expression of these emotions was relatively faint.

"Chenyu's body will probably recover to a relatively good state by tomorrow," Jun Wuxie said, looking at the Beast King couple and saying, "I will stay in the tower for two days.

Tomorrow, you pretend that there is an urgent matter in the clan that requires you to leave temporarily. Tell the village chief and others that you will return in a few days.

After leaving Zu Lian Village, tell Su Feng about the news that the person who killed dozens of Su Feng clan experts is hiding in Zu Lian Village... Be careful to hide and not be noticed. After releasing the news, you return to Zu Lian Village and lie dormant nearby."

"Yes, Master."

The Beast King couple pondered slightly and understood Jun Wuxie's plan.

"Wuxie, have you ever thought about what you will do if Zu Lian Village is determined to protect Pei Luoxi's life?"

Mu Ciyin knew that he was planning to subdue Zu Lian Village, and if such a thing really happened, it would affect his plan.

At that time, to kill Pei Luoxi, he would probably have to confront Zu Lian Village, or even be forced to start a massacre.

"I have my own ways, Master Ciyin doesn't need to worry," Jun Wuxie said confidently.

Hearing him say this, Mu Ciyin didn't ask any more questions.

Time slowly passed. Yue Chenyu recovered very well under the continuous infusion of Jun Wuxie's life essence. Her chapped lips had become bright red and moist, her thin body had recovered its former fullness, the skin on her face was no longer pale but had become rosy, and her head of withered white hair had turned back into ink-like black hair.

Outside the stone tower, someone couldn't sit still.

In a large courtyard in Zu Lian Village, Pei Luoxi paced back and forth in the courtyard, his face gloomy.

An old man and a middle-aged man were sitting in front of the jade table in the courtyard. They were Elder Pei and his son, who was also Pei Luoxi's father.

"Luoxi, don't walk around anymore, you're making my head spin," Elder Pei said, looking at his precious grandson, sighing in his heart.

Of course, he knew how deep his grandson's obsession with Yue Chenyu was.

Three years ago, when the village rescued Yue Chenyu, from the moment his grandson first saw her, his infatuation with her was like being poisoned.

He didn't blame his grandson for being obsessed with women.

A woman like Yue Chenyu was too beautiful, possessing perfect looks, coupled with her cold and alluring temperament, which happened to stimulate his grandson's inner desire to conquer, so it was not surprising that he was obsessed with her.

But things didn't go smoothly, unlike what they thought.

They thought that Yue Chenyu, being in such a situation, would always need to find a backer.

The Pei family had a very high status in Zu Lian Village, and it would be such a blessing for her to become husband and wife with his grandson.

But unexpectedly, that Yue Chenyu actually refused outright, and then closed herself in the tower and refused to come out. No matter what they said or did, she would no longer give any response.

It was a completely indifferent attitude, which made everyone in their Pei family feel extremely annoyed.

"Luoxi, things have come to this point, you should let it go," Pei Luoxi's father said, his face not looking good. He was obviously very unwilling about this matter, but forced by reality, he could only choose to compromise.

"Those two people have a mysterious origin. Even the Beast King of the Taiji Divine Beast Clan has been subdued by them. Our Zu Lian Village cannot offend such people. For the sake of the overall situation, you should know how to be patient!"

"Your father is right. Let's end this matter here. The youth has already discovered the abnormality in the song you played, but he didn't expose it. He just warned you not to play it again. Since he didn't pursue it, it can be considered giving us some face," Elder Pei said.

After thinking about it, things had already reached this point. Yue Chenyu was that youth's junior sister, so it was impossible to force her again. His grandson was destined to be unable to obtain Yue Chenyu, which was the result he had already seen.

Since the result was destined, then there was no need to provoke trouble and cause problems.

Those two people had the entire Taiji Divine Beast clan behind them. In terms of status, they were at least on par with the village chief.

Pei Luoxi didn't say anything. He stopped walking and stood under a large tree in the courtyard, slightly raising his head to look at the distant sky.

Pei Luoxi maintained this posture until the next morning, when the golden-red sunlight broke through the darkness.

...

The door of the stone tower was opened.

The Beast King couple walked out, found the village chief in the council hall, and bid him farewell, saying that there was an urgent matter in the clan that needed to be dealt with immediately, and that they would probably not return for seven or eight days.

The village chief and the elders all showed strange expressions. Seeing the Beast King couple's hurried appearance, something big must have happened in the Taiji Divine Beast clan, otherwise they wouldn't be so anxious.

"Village chief, during the days we are away, if the experts of the Su Feng clan come here, I hope the village chief will take care of it."

"Beast King and Beast Queen, please rest assured. If people from the Su Feng clan come, I will never let them enter the village," the village chief replied, and then said, "I wonder how Miss Yue is doing?"

"Miss Yue is very weak. In recent years, she has suffered from the torment and suffering of her injuries, and her body has developed serious problems. Yesterday, the master did not hesitate to use his own essence and blood to heal Miss Yue, and then continuously transported life essence. It is estimated that in another two days, Miss Yue's condition will stabilize.

It's just hard on the master. Consuming life essence and energy like this will inevitably become extremely weak..."

Speaking of this, the Beast King couple looked at the village chief and said, "Therefore, I hope that no one will disturb us these days."

"Don't worry," the village chief nodded. "I will send people to guard the gate of the courtyard and strictly prohibit anyone from entering that courtyard. No one will disturb you."

"We thank you for the master."

The Beast King couple said goodbye to the village chief and left Zu Lian Village, soon disappearing into the mountains.

"I don't know what happened to the Taiji Divine Beast clan..."

The village chief pondered to himself, and at the same time sent two youths to the courtyard where the stone tower was located to guard the gate.

Not long after, in the Pei family's courtyard, a person hurried in.

"Elder Pei, there is new news, the Beast King couple has left!"

The person who came in bowed and said this.

"Left? Where did they go?"

Elder Pei, Pei Luoxi, and his father spoke almost in unison.

"Early this morning, the Beast King couple went to the council hall to find the village chief in a hurry. I was nearby at the time, so I overheard the conversation. It turned out that something happened to the Taiji Divine Beast clan, and the Beast King couple was in a hurry to go back to deal with it, saying that they would not return for seven or eight days."

"They also said that Miss Yue's condition was very bad, and that the youth consumed his own essence and blood to heal her..."

This person said all the content without missing a word.

"You may leave," Elder Pei waved his hand. After that person left, he fixed his gaze on Pei Luoxi's face and said, "Luoxi, do you have to get Yue Chenyu?"

"Grandfather, it's not just about getting Yue Chenyu now!" Peiluo Xi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness and ruthlessness.

For so many years, which of his peers could overshadow his brilliance?

"Since such a good opportunity is presented to us, why don't we make good use of it? So what if he has the Taiji Divine Beast Clan as his backing? As long as we use the strategy of 'borrowing a knife to kill,' we won't have to pay any price to kill him! By then, once the matter is a foregone conclusion, the village chief and other elders will at most get angry, but they won't really do anything to us. Besides, our Pei family still has an old ancestor with a strong foundation!"

"Well, internal problems are not really problems. After it's done, at most, we'll receive a verbal reprimand." Elder Pei stroked his beard, pondered slightly, and said, "The key is the Taiji Divine Beast Clan. They will definitely come looking for trouble afterward. Therefore, we must borrow the sharp blade of the Swift Wind Clan to deal with the Taiji Divine Beast Clan again. Even if we don't get the expected results, we must at least make them pay the price. By then, the Taiji Divine Beast Clan and the Swift Wind Clan will be entangled, and they won't have the energy to seek revenge."

"It is indeed an excellent opportunity, perhaps killing three birds with one stone! The Swift Wind Clan has been targeting us for a long time, making our Ancestral Forging Village fearful. We have suffered considerable losses over the years, but we have been unable to resolve this matter. This time, if we can use the Swift Wind's knife to injure the Taiji Divine Beast and kill that young man, then we can provoke a fight between the Taiji Divine Beast and the Swift Wind Clan."

A smile appeared on the face of Pei Luo Xi's father.

The Swift Wind Clan had long coveted the Taiji Divine Beast Clan; they had received the news many years ago.

This time, there might be a major change within the Taiji Divine Beast Clan. How could the Swift Wind Clan miss such an opportunity?

Even if the Swift Wind Clan didn't quite believe the news, they would at least send some strong individuals to investigate.

That way, the Beast King and his wife would be temporarily restrained, preventing them from returning.

When the Beast King and his wife learned that their master had been killed by the Swift Wind Clan, they would first retaliate against the Swift Wind, and they would have no mind or energy to come to Ancestral Forging Village to cause trouble.

Facing a large force like the Swift Wind Clan, it would be difficult for the Taiji Divine Beast Clan to escape.

In the future, whether it was the Swift Wind or the Taiji Divine Beast Clan, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses in the struggle.
