Chapter 220: Heart Deluding Mirror

Chapter 220: Heart Deluding Mirror

“Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, Chu Luo brought a Dao Foundation stage demon. He wishes to request an audience with you.”

He Ziming’s polite voice resounded from outside the gate to the hall.

“A Dao Foundation stage demon?”

The first thought that appeared in Xu Disheng’s mind was actually the Ancient Nuwa Sect. “Is it someone from the Ancient Nuwa Sect?” he asked.

He Ziming hesitated for a moment before replying, “Disciple does not know. But by appearance alone, that doesn’t appear to be the case. There is a concentrated aura of water element demonic qi on their body, so they most likely belong to a demon race that lives in the water.”

He Ziming had previously served in Celestial Tide Spirit Master’s domain, so he had a very discerning eye despite only being at the Sea of Qi stage in terms of cultivation.

“Okay,” Xu Disheng replied.

… …

Bai Yingxiu followed Chu Luo into the hall and lifted her head, taking in the white-robed figure of the youth seated deeper within.

“Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, this woman is a demon from White Night Paradise, and she has been continuously pursued and hunted after. Would you be willing to protect her?” Chu Luo said respectfully, his gaze still just as resolute as before.

Xu Disheng couldn’t help stifling a laugh as he inspected Chu Luo, who appeared to be somewhat out of sorts. He casually tossed out a ball of water element energy, which plopped onto Chu Luo’s head.

Plink.

The moment the refreshing, bone-chilling water doused his head, a cascade of expressions flashed through Chu Luo’s eyes as he fully returned to his senses and woke up. He rotated his Shangqing profound qi to dispel the icy coldness, then rapidly retreated several steps. He pointed at Bai Yingxiu and said urgently, “Sacred Son! She not only killed Ma Chen, but she also… she also tried to seduce me!”

How could a trifling Sea of Qi stage cultivator like Chu Luo manage to take advantage of a Dao Foundation stage demon?

Before Chu Luo was even aware of it himself, Bai Yingxiu had led his heart astray!

The cute, innocent expression that Bai Yingxiu had always worn on her dainty face slowly receded. With a look full of intrigue, she smiled at Xu Disheng. “There shouldn’t be any way for anyone under the Divine Core stage to see through my Heart Deluding Mirror technique. How were you able to tell?”

Xu Disheng shook his head and replied simply, “I didn’t.”

Bai Yingxiu’s interest was piqued even more. “Then how?”

“Because what Chu Luo said just now really was too amusing. There was no way that it was his own idea,” Xu Disheng said. His gaze gradually took on a cold light. “Who are you?”

“Bai Yingxiu of White Night Paradise. I fled here to avoid an arranged marriage,” Bai Yingxiu said candidly, not hiding anything.

She could sense a number of life-threatening auras coming from Xu Disheng’s body, but she had her own hidden trump cards. Her own measure of him told her that she wouldn’t be able to beat him, but she knew that she would at least be able to make an escape, so she had no fear.

After a long while passed, devoid of any response, Bai Yingxiu looked up at him. The extremely handsome youth’s gaze was lowered, and he was fiddling with a small, intricate array diagram!

“Hello? I was talking to you,” Bai Yingxiu snapped, an inexplicable hint of anger flaring up in her heart when she saw the youth ignoring her.

Xu Disheng tossed out the small, intricate array diagram and smiled. “White Night Paradise is the western most demon race paradise of the Quicksand Earth Territory. According to the sect rules, any demon race beings of White Night Paradise that trespass into the Shangqing Sacred Sect’s lands can be captured.”

After his words fell on her ears, the small, intricate array diagram that he had been fiddling with suddenly rose and expanded, shattering the roof of the hall above them. It transformed into a gigantic sword array dozens of meters tall, trapping Bai Yingxiu within.

It was the only top-grade Magic Treasure that he still had from the tournament in the Luminous Cloud Abyss, the Demon Punishing Array Diagram!

Now that Xu Disheng was already at the Dao Foundation stage, he could finally exhibit the full might of this deadly array diagram.

The four-colored swords flashed and revolved wildly in the array, instantly cutting several deep, bloody gashes into Bai Yingxiu’s body. Her figure transformed into that of a 30-meter long water serpent, and she darted left and right in the confines of the Demon Punishing Array Diagram, letting out an ear-splitting roar that shook the entirety of the Anxi provincial capital.

“Demon Killing Sword.”

Xu Disheng urged the Demon Punishing Array Diagram once more, and one of the top-grade Magic Treasure swords blossomed into an incomparably resplendent white sword light. It shot down like a beam of light and pierced into the water serpent’s tail region, sending a massive chunk of flesh flying.

“AHHHH!!”

Bai Yingxiu suddenly realized that turning into her demonic form as a water serpent was an extremely foolish idea. She revolved her demonic power and transformed back into the appearance of a girl in a jade-colored dress, tumbling to the ground.

Her bare, milky legs were marred by a deep sword cut that revealed bone. The wound emanated the sword intent of the Demon Killing Sword, rendering it unable to heal.

The Demon Punishing Array Diagram consisted of four different top-grade Magic Treasure swords. Back when Kou Zun had used this treasure against Xu Disheng, it had given him a rough time.

There was the Demon Trapping Sword, which gave off dark green sword light, and was imbued with corrosion sword intent.

The Demon Punishing Sword, with its brilliant red sword light, was clad in killing intent.

The Demon Vanquishing Sword, a brilliant, blazing white, was filled with destruction intent.

The Demon Killing Sword, which Xu Disheng had just used to heavily wound Bai Yingxiu, flaunted a pale-colored sword light, and the sword intent had the ability to suppress and absorb.

“Are human Dao Foundation stage cultivators all this strong?” Bai Yingxiu grimaced, smiling bitterly. She hung her head, as if she had given up all thoughts of resisting. Her long, silky hair cascaded down her back, scattering loosely over her jade-colored dress. Under the suppression of the Demon Punishing Array Diagram, she looked frail and delicate, able to evoke any man’s pity.

Chu Luo had long known about her underlying cruel and vicious nature. His heart was hot with resentment, and he cried out angrily, “Soul Suppressor Sacred Son! As soon as this woman appeared, she killed Junior Martial Brother Ma Chen. She can’t be forgiven so easily!”

With such a large ruckus, the attention of all the profound cultivators in Anxi provincial city was drawn to their location. They all surrounded the sword array from afar, pointing at Bai Yingxiu and talking amongst themselves.

“Soul Suppressor Sacred Son, White Night Paradise is a large-scale sect, but the demon race of White Night Paradise and the Shangqing Sacred Sect have always had an agreement to not infringe upon each other. But with this woman violating the rules of both sects, it may be possible for us to make something out of this,” He Ziming said, his eyes flashing.

Xu Disheng pondered for a while, then nodded. He flicked his sleeves, retracting the enormous Demon Punishing Array Diagram.

Zhang Haobo sighed with admiration and exclaimed, “When the Sacred Son acts like this, he already gives off the bearing of a Divine Core stage Spirit Master.”

Li Zhao, Quan Hongyu, and the others looked up at Xu Disheng and nodded approvingly. A look of indescribable vigor flashed in their eyes.

“What a useless remark. You’re just flapping your lips! Given Senior Martial Brother Xu’s meteoric rise from Morning Dew Peak to his current status as a Peak Master and a Sacred Son, how could any of that be luck?” Yuan Qi said, simultaneously reproaching Zhang Haobo and flattering Xu Disheng without restraint. Behind him, He Qiwen also picked up where he left off, layering on unending praises.

Yuan Qi and Zhang Haobo had both been part of Morning Dew Peak for a long time, but they had been stuck at the Sea of Qi stage for a long time. Seeing this petty brown-noser try to one-up him and loudly berate him, Zhang Haobo’s eyes glazed over, and he felt hot anger rising within him. However, he didn’t speak nor try to retort. He simply stared at Yuan Qi coldly, a deeply hidden hint of killing intent flashing through his eyes.

Xu Disheng wasn’t paying any attention to them. Instead, his gaze was directed off into the distance at the horizon, a grave expression surfacing in his gaze.

Clouds and mist roiled and tumbled. A massive 100 meter long water serpent was soaring through the skies in their direction. Its long, serpentine body, which spontaneously gathered dense water elemental energy around it, carried a remote, embryonic likeness to a flood dragon. After a few moments, it arrived above the Anxi provincial capital.

A half-step Divine Core stage existence!
