The Naughty Senior Sister
Senior Brother Found the Demon Seed Host
The inn became colder than before when the word "devil" was mentioned. Even though their dimensions were already separated, it still did not rule out the possibility that there would be some demons that could pass into the human dimension of being.
Currently, Du Du who was still prostrating explained in detail and did not dare to slip any lies in every sentence he said.
"According to the Ancestral Lady's question, six months ago there was an upheaval within the territory of the Great Imperial Capital of Ming, precisely in the Southeast and Northwest."
"Some people have been reported to have mysteriously disappeared and worse, the imperial family has also moved in secret but none of the security guards have found any trace of the victims."
"When they searched long enough and did not produce any results, the palace only made propaganda that the missing person had been found dead because of the actions of a foreign tribe."
"They carried out public executions so that the citizens would not doubt the propaganda. That way, the case was closed but the disappearance of some people still happened."
Lan Xihe frowned in surprise, "Didn't anyone report about this case?"
"There have been many reports by residents, but the palace has only given an answer that they will provide protection and compensation to the families of the victims. Thus, there was nothing more the people of the Great Ming Empire could do."
Lan Xihe massaged her forehead as she said, "It seems, the Emperor has a rotten and animal-hearted descendant."
No one answered the statement, but in each person's heart agreed with Lan Xihe's opinion. There was no visible humanity at all from any movement taken by the palace. The people have also given up on expecting them.
"Most likely, one of the problems that led to the task and the complaint was this," Lan Xihe concluded through a voice transmission to Yan Xu.
Yan Xu nodded in agreement, "You have a point. It seemed, they were making various tasks and complaints aimed at detaining the cultivators in the Great Imperial Capital of Ming. At least, it would give them a sense of security."
"Then, what about the Jiang family?" ask Lan Xihe.
"As Du Du Du had said, the appearance of this demon was originally in the Southeast and Northwest regions. Most likely they were directly involved or became victims of that demon was huge."
Yan Xu pursed his lips, as if he did not want to say this bitter sentence.
He immediately recovered his mental state by suppressing some dantian points. Then he looked towards Yaoyao, "What about this child?"
"He was just an ordinary child and was not involved in any of these cases. Du'er found him nearly dying two years ago and gave him a place to shelter."
"So, he's not a relative or a fellow member of the Du family?" ask Lan Xihe.
"Yes, Ancestral Madam. The two of us are just a piece of kara sharing fate and have been met by this cruel fate" Du Du Du replied with a bitter expression.
For a moment there was silence and the sound of a gust of night wind could be heard passing through the window.
A large arm made of qi energy carried Yaoyao's body in front of Yan Xu. He began to conduct a thorough examination of the little girl's body. Until he traced to the main point of Yaoyao's dantian, there was something that gave a feeling of uneasiness to Yan Xu.
When Yan Xu tried to examine it deeper, a wave of qi energy attacked him so strongly that he retreated a few steps.
Yan Xu spat out a hint of blood from the corner of his mouth. He pressed his chest to calm down the turmoil of the qi energy that had just counterattacked.
A sharp gaze from Yan Xu led to Du Du and a serious deep voice came out, "This child has a demon seed inside his dantian core. Are you pretending you don't know about this?"
Thump!
Du Du banged his head against the floor until it bled while saying, "Du'er knows it! However, he had yet to show any signs of change and was still behaving like a human! Please Ancestor—..."
"Shut up!"
Yan Xu immediately interrupted that troublesome request. He injected his qi energy into Yaoyao's body bit by bit, trying to tear the demon seeds that were inside her dantian core. However, the few times he tried, still he would be struck by the shockwave of qi energy from the little girl's body.
'Why? After all we are only humans, even someone as strong as my wife can do nothing, let alone me with this lower cultivation and broken system!' thought Yan Xu.
Du Du looked up to steal a glance, he saw Yan Xu's grim expression. That meant, there was indeed no other way to help Yaoyao.
When Du Du wanted to open his mouth, Yan Xu's cold voice immediately sounded.
"Don't try to negotiate with me on this matter. There is no better way than to give death, than to let him become a demon and kill many innocent people."
This time, Yan Xu tried to reason long with Du Du Du. Although Yan Xu understood that the other party was still reluctant, he could not let something that would be the source of trouble later on still exist.
Especially if the opportunity to eliminate the source of the problem is right in sight!
As he raised his hand, Du Du rushed to attack from behind using an energy spear. Yan Xu made a layered energy shield and ignored the attack, as if nothing had happened.
"Not yet!"
Du Du took out a silver spear weapon once possessed by his ancestor. He attacked Yan Xu's qi energy shield using the silver spear violently.
The violent clash caused shock waves to spread around and after a few strikes, there was a cracking sound from Yan Xu's qi energy shield.
Not staying silent, Yan Xu stomped his toe to the floor and from below, a blue wooden root protruded out, blocking Du Du Du's movement.
"Fuck up! Don't block me! Spear intervention technique!"
Du Du used a spear attack technique that was shrouded in his qi aura. A single puncture from his spear movement, was the same as being stabbed a thousand times. However, the blue wood root continued to grow as if it was nothing, compared to the regeneration that the blue wood root had.
Yan Xu looked down at Du Du who desperately wanted to save Yaoyao, "Why do you want to save this little girl's life if your strength is only that much?"
Hearing Yan Xu's provocative sentence, Du Du frowned as he said, "Our ancestor, Du'er previously thought that you are a reasonable person. However, Du'er did not expect that your cruelty exceeded that of a savage beast!"
"Just think as you please, I don't need any opinions from weak people," Yan Xu said in a deep voice.
Du Du pursed his lips. He took out a golden core whose light had already dimmed. There was no longer any intention to leave alive, all of them wanted him to bet with a single strike on the last remaining qi energy.
Seeing that, Lan Xihe immediately hit the nape of Du Du's neck until she fainted.
Bam!
"You ...." Du Du stared intently at Lan Xihe before his consciousness disappeared.
Lan Xihe only smiled gently as if saying nothing bad would happen, until Du Du Du's consciousness as well as the golden core she had ejected disappeared completely.
Lan Xihe shrugged and said, "My dear husband, what are you going to plan for the little girl?"
Yan Xu's cold face slowly turned flat without the slightest hint of emotional fluctuation, as if nothing had happened before.
"This girl is a diversion and a suitable subject to be used as reference material in finding out the state of the Jiang family members."
Yan Xu turned around and walked to his chair. He let out a long sigh and shook his head a few times to clear up the slight dizziness from using too much qi energy.
"The devil within the core of his dantian has been entrenched for more than nine months, yet shows no signs of change nor does the demon aura" Yan Xu continued while studying Yaoyao's body.
