Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The next day, at dawn, as the morning sun broke through the clouds, casting its first rays, Jingya awoke from her sleep.

Opening her eyes, she saw Jun Wuxie sitting upright at the table in the room, eyes closed in rest.

Quietly getting up, and seeing that it was still early, she picked up the quilt and walked over, but just as she was about to put it over him, she saw him open his eyes.

“Sitting here all night, are you tired? Lie down on the bed for a while.”

Jingya felt a little sorry for him, although she knew that his energy and spirit were strong and his body was powerful, but this was the Upper Realm, and even cultivators at the Saint Realm needed rest.

“It’s okay, I’m not that fragile.”

Jun Wuxie smiled and shook his head. Although the rules of the Upper Realm were different, with his physical body and soul strength, he wouldn't be tired from sitting all night. Even if he sat for several days and nights without sleep, he could handle it.

“Alright then, you sit here, Aunt Jing will go fetch some water.”

Jingya put the quilt back on the bed, slightly adjusted her cyan dress, pushed open the door, and walked out.

In the morning, the fresh air rushed towards her, and a ray of sunlight shone on her face, warm and comforting.

The pear tree in the courtyard shed a carpet of snow-white petals, creating a beautiful picture in the morning sun.

Near the pear tree was an ancient well, its water clear and sweet.

Although Yuan Ji had said that she only needed to call out and maids would come to serve her, Jingya preferred to do things herself.

She drew a basin of water from the well, carried it into the room, took a towel from the shelf in the outer room, soaked it in the water, wrung it out, and returned to the bedroom.

“Here, wash your face.”

She handed him the towel, causing Jun Wuxie to freeze for a moment.

“What are you staring at? Do you want Aunt Jing to wash it for you?”

As she spoke, she was about to unfold the towel, but Jun Wuxie quickly took it from her hand, smiling awkwardly, “I’ll do it myself.”

Jingya quietly watched him, a smile on her face, and when he finished washing, she took the towel from his hand and walked out.

Jun Wuxie stared blankly at her back, a warm current flowing through his heart.

This great expert of the demon race, the previous generation’s Holy Maiden, held a respected position in the demon race. One could imagine that since birth, she had probably been served by maids, yet now she was taking care of him so attentively.

“Little fellow, what are you daydreaming about?”

Jingya returned to the bedroom after washing, and seeing Jun Wuxie standing by the table somewhat lost in thought, she walked straight to the dressing table and sat down, facing the mirror, combing her soft, green hair and tidying her appearance.

“Aunt Jing, I’ll go out first.”

Jun Wuxie came back to his senses, and seeing Aunt Jing putting on makeup, he felt it was inappropriate to continue staying there.

At this time, the sun had completely climbed out of the clouds, and the world was bright.

The golden rays of the sun shone on his face, warm and comfortable.

The scenery in the courtyard was beautiful, with pear blossoms and peach blossoms blooming in competition, and the grass and trees were tender green and verdant, full of vitality.

“Spring warms all things, and flowers bloom in a good season. This should be March in the Upper Realm, the time when flowers bloom on the path.”

He stood quietly in the courtyard for a moment, feeling the vitality of spring, and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

“Flowers bloom on the path, what a beautiful season…”

An elegant and moving voice sounded behind him. Jun Wuxie turned around, and Aunt Jing was standing in front of him.

Today she was slightly different from usual, having applied a light makeup, which made her, who was already elegant and beautiful, mature and noble, even more charming.

“Yes, a very beautiful season, but I have to add a touch of blood to this picture.”

His voice was calm, but Jingya heard a sharp sense of killing intent beneath the calmness.

“Scarlet is also the color of flowers. In this situation, Aunt Jing thinks that adding some embellishments would make it even more beautiful.”

Jingya said softly, taking two steps forward, standing beside him, and looking towards the entrance of the small courtyard.

Jun Wuxie also looked towards the entrance of the small courtyard. His Great Saint peak spiritual sense had already sensed that Yuan Ji and others were coming towards here.

After a short while, the figures of Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Zhuo, Yuan Feng, and others appeared in front of the small courtyard's door.

“Brother Jun, did you sleep well last night?”

Yuan Feng stood at the door, smiling and greeting him, his gaze sweeping across Jun Wuxie's face and landing on Jingya's lightly made-up face, a flash of amazement in his eyes.

When he saw Jingya yesterday, he was extremely shocked.

He had never seen such an elegant and beautiful woman in his life, and that elegance was mixed with a mature and noble temperament, giving people an uncontrollable urge to conquer her.

But at that time, he hid his feelings well, fearing that Jun Wuxie would notice and ruin the plan, bringing disaster upon himself.

Now it was different. He could freely express the amazement in his heart and the appreciation and desire for extreme beauty.

He was not a lecher, but such a peerless beauty in front of him made it difficult for him to calm his mind.

“Miss Jingya is even more beautiful than yesterday. It seems you rested very well last night.” Yuan Feng looked at Jun Wuxie with envy and said, “Brother Jun, I am very envious of you, having such a peerless beauty by your side. But who can possess the good things in this world forever? There will eventually be a time when they are lost.”

“Yuan Feng, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Jingya's face flushed slightly, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

“Yuan Feng, I think you may have misunderstood. She is my Aunt Jing, not my lover.” Jun Wuxie's eyes were as deep as an ancient well, and he said meaningfully, “Everyone wants to possess the good things in the world, but few can truly possess them. Most people are just fantasizing secretly. As for those who possess good things, whether they can keep them by their side forever depends on their ability. Everyone wants to compete for them, but in the end, they may just be digging their own graves and burying themselves.”

“Oh? So Miss Jingya is Brother Jun's elder?” Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face grew stronger, and he said, “Since meeting Brother Jun yesterday, this is the most pleasing thing I have heard. It was a little cold in the spring night, and I had a sleepless night last night, worrying that Brother Jun and Miss Jingya might catch a cold. I wonder if you two felt any discomfort?”

“You are very thoughtful. We are in good health and feel no discomfort.”

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he pulled Jingya and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

“Brother Jun, do you want to go out for a stroll? But I think it's better for you to stay in the courtyard.”

As Yuan Feng spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The crisp sound traveled far.

Immediately, the family experts hidden around received the signal and immediately activated the formation eyes.

The sound of runes evolving echoed around the small courtyard, and a dazzling light soared into the sky, evolving into a light curtain barrier, instantly sealing off the small courtyard.

On the barrier, strands of runes flowed, trapping Jun Wuxie and Jingya inside the barrier.

“Has your Yuan family ever thought about the consequences of doing this?”

Jun Wuxie glanced at the formation barrier, his expression calm, and a hint of indifference appeared in his deep eyes.

“Brother Jun, don't blame us.” Yuan Feng sighed, “I know you must be very angry, but this is reality. Although it is cruel, you have to face it in the end, right? You can only blame yourselves for being too naive, following people into the mansion so easily.”

“Yuan Feng, Wuxie is right. You are indeed a ruthless and ungrateful person.” Jingya looked at him coldly, “You don't think of repaying the kindness of saving your life, but you actually repay kindness with evil. With such a family style and way of doing things, do you still want to go further? I'm afraid disaster has already befallen you.”

“Kindness? Are you talking to me about kindness?” Yuan Feng was not ashamed, but asked righteously, “Can kindness make me stronger? Can kindness allow my Yuan family to unify Liuyun City and go higher and further? None of these can, so how much is kindness worth? We live in reality, so we have to do realistic things. For my Yuan family, you are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

Jun Wuxie laughed coldly and said, “I think you haven't seen the real reality.”

“Young Master Jun, we understand your feelings, but as Feng'er said, this is reality, the reality you are facing at this moment, the most real situation.” Yuan Ji sighed and said earnestly, “We need Young Master Jun to capture that Bloodmane Lion Hound Beast, which is related to the long-term fortune and development of my Yuan family. For the sake of the family, we have no choice but to do this. So I hope Young Master Jun can understand our actions, and please Young Master Jun cooperate well, perhaps you will suffer less.”

“If I don't cooperate, what are you going to do?”

“Do you think you have the right to negotiate?” Yuan Shao sneered, “You have to see your situation clearly. You are now a turtle in a jar, a fish on a chopping board. We are the knife and chopping board and can slaughter you at any time. Cooperating with us and listening to our orders is your only choice!”

“It seems you are very confident.”

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he glanced at the depths of the Yuan family's mansion and said, “Then stop dawdling and let all the hidden powerhouses of your family come out. Come on together and see if I am the fish on your chopping board, if I am your prey.”

“Hahaha!” Yuan Ji laughed, laughing loudly, “Young Master Jun is really arrogant, daring to talk big in such a situation! Not to mention that you have been poisoned by the Power Dissipation Powder, and your true energy cannot be gathered, and you are trapped inside the formation barrier. Even if you are at your peak, it would be easy for my Yuan family to suppress you! If we didn't need to keep your life to lure out that Bloodmane Lion Hound Beast, do you think you would still be alive and standing here talking big to us?”

“Where did you buy your Power Dissipation Powder?”

Jun Wuxie suddenly asked.

“You still have the mind to ask this?”

Yuan Ji and others were stunned. They had fallen into such a situation, but they still had the mind to ask about the source of the Power Dissipation Powder.

“I just want to tell you that you bought counterfeit products.”

“What did you say?” Yuan Ji sneered, “That's nonsense. Our Power Dissipation Powder comes from the Duoduo Trading Company. How could it be a counterfeit product!”

“Aunt Jing, look at these fools. I already told them that they bought counterfeit products, but they refuse to believe it. I guess they don't want to admit that they insulted their own intelligence.”

After he finished speaking, golden light erupted from his body, and a golden blood energy sphere instantly condensed, enveloping him and Jing Ya within it.

In an instant, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Zhuo, Yuan Feng, and the others all contracted their pupils, their expressions changed abruptly, and they exclaimed in shock: "Impossible! You were poisoned by the Dispersing Power Powder, how can you still use your strength?"

They found it hard to accept this fact and looked at each other, their faces gloomy.

"Damn it!"

Yuan Ji slowly clenched his hands hanging at his waist, realizing that he might have been deceived.

The Duo Duo Merchant Guild actually sold them substandard products!

The most infuriating thing was that the price was so exorbitant!

Thinking that they had bought fake goods at a sky-high price and were being ridiculed by their opponent, they immediately felt an urge to vomit blood.

"Damn it! Boy, even if my Yuan family bought fake medicine, it's not something you can laugh at! So what if the Dispersing Power Powder is ineffective? Since you've come to my Yuan family, you're still a turtle in a jar, a fish on a chopping board, and the outcome will still not change in any way!"

Yuan Ji and the others were so angry that they nearly ascended to Nirvana, and white smoke almost came out of their nostrils.

Spending a huge sum of money only to receive ridicule, this feeling was even more uncomfortable than eating shit.

"Then you will be disappointed."

Jun Wuxie narrowed his eyes, looking towards the top of the barrier, where the array diagram formed by runes was located, the core of the entire formation barrier's energy.

The golden blood energy in his body surged, and the Primal Military Dissolution technique operated, instantly reaching the peak of fifteen times amplification. He clenched the palm behind him and suddenly threw a punch upwards.

Boom!

The golden fist print shot upwards, blazing like a small sun, fiercely striking the array diagram at the top of the barrier.

Amidst the loud noise, the entire barrier trembled violently.

The array diagram at the top of the barrier was covered with cracks in the violent shaking, causing Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Zhuo, Yuan Feng, and the others to contract their pupils violently, their faces filled with horror.

Another loud bang.

The array diagram completely collapsed, and a large hole appeared from the top of the barrier. The hole quickly spread in all directions, causing the entire barrier to dissipate in an instant.

The Yuan family experts around the small courtyard who were activating the formation suffered a violent shock, spitting blood in unison, their energy and spirit instantly withering.

"Your Yuan family could have developed well, but you insisted on seeking your own death!"

Jun Wuxie, wrapped Jing Ya with his golden blood energy sphere, walked towards Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Zhuo, Yuan Feng, and the others outside the small courtyard.

Each time his foot landed on the ground, it was as if it weighed ten thousand jun, causing the surrounding ground to tremble.

Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao, Yuan Zhuo, Yuan Feng, and the others felt their hearts contract, feeling an unspeakable sense of oppression, as if his footsteps were stepping on their hearts, causing a feeling of suffocation.
