Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Chapter 503: Shadow Demon King

’Lan Xinyu is missing?’

Hearing the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc’s words, Ye Wushuang’s gaze turned cold and his face darkened instantly. A dense chill erupted from his body, freezing the very air in the void.

Even the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc could feel that chill—it froze the soul!

Ye Wushuang turned his head and asked, "Didn’t I tell you to guard her at all times? How could she have gone missing?"

"Master, I was incompetent. Miss Lan was taken!"

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc trembled, kneeling on the ground.

"Taken?"

Ye Wushuang’s eyes grew even colder. "Who would take her? The Zong Family, or the Jing Family?"

At present, Ye Wushuang could only think of those two families. The Jing Family wouldn’t have acted so quickly, which left the Zong Family as the only possibility. ’But this is the Dongfang Family’s territory. How could they be so brazen?’

Ye Wushuang pondered for a moment before saying, "Tell me everything that happened, from the beginning."

"Master, not long after you left, I was guarding the room from the outside. A short while later, a waiter came up, saying he was there to tidy the room. He went inside and came out a moment later. At the time, he didn’t do anything strange, so I didn’t pay it much mind."

"However, after I’d been standing there for a long time, I realized it was completely silent inside the room. I called out for Miss Lan a few times, but she didn’t answer. I had a bad feeling and rushed into the room, but Miss Lan was already gone. Only this Jade Pendant was left behind."

As he spoke, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc quickly handed a Jade Pendant to Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang took it and examined it. It was a piece of white jade, nothing remarkable about it, except for one thing—it pulsed with Divine Sense.

When Ye Wushuang infused a trace of his Divine Sense into it, a sentence appeared: "If you want to save her, go outside the East City Gate, to a spot thirty li to the southwest!"

After displaying this message, the white jade exploded with a BANG.

"’Outside the East City Gate, thirty li!’"

Ye Wushuang’s eyes were glacial, filled with an unprecedented rage. The Divine Sense felt somewhat familiar, as if he had encountered it before.

"We’re going to the East City Gate," Ye Wushuang called to the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc. Without even entering the inn, he turned and headed toward the East City Gate.

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc followed behind Ye Wushuang, frowning. "Master, the person who took Miss Lan specifically told us to go outside the Holy City. They definitely have ill intentions. If we go rashly, I’m afraid we’ll fall into their trap. Why don’t you let me go first and scout things out?"

"No need. Since they took Xinyu while I was away, their target is me. If I don’t go, I’m afraid they’ll kill her."

Ye Wushuang’s expression grew frigid, a furious rage burning within him!

’No matter what they want, they dared to kidnap someone close to me to threaten me. They’ve completely enraged me.’

He clutched the silver Token in his hand. Sealed within it was the Illusionary Destruction Invincible Sword Formation, powerful enough to instantly kill any expert in the Yin Yang Realm and even threaten those in the Nirvana Realm.

He had already completed its Refinement. If his opponent made a move, this item would be useful. It was a form of insurance!

"Go back and inform the Old Master that Ye Wushuang has left. It seems he’s run into some trouble," the Shopkeeper in the inn instructed a waiter, then immediately left the inn himself.

The Holy City had four gates: east, west, south, and north. Before long, Ye Wushuang and the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc arrived at the East City Gate.

He swept his Divine Sense to the southwest, then mounted the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc and vanished over the horizon, catching those who were following him completely off guard.

’Familiar... who could it be?’

Standing on the back of the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc, Ye Wushuang wondered, ’In the Holy City, the only one who feels familiar is Mo Wentian. Could it be him?’

Mo Wentian had kidnapped Ye Rou to threaten him before.

’I hope it’s not you. Otherwise, this time, I won’t be holding back.’ Ye Wushuang stared ahead, a sharp, murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

"Master, we’re here!"

Arriving before a valley, the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc came to a stop.

At this moment, Ye Wushuang also sensed Lan Xinyu’s aura. It was inside the valley. At the same time, there was another aura—somewhat familiar, yet also somewhat strange.

Ye Wushuang walked toward the valley.

The valley was vast, like a basin. The surrounding mountains weren’t particularly steep, making it look more like a hollow.

Lan Xinyu’s body was enveloped in a ball of gray light. Four gray wisps of energy, like shackles, bound her limbs, suspending her in the air.

"Young Master, run!"

Seeing that Ye Wushuang had actually come, Lan Xinyu was deeply moved. Even though she hadn’t shed a tear despite her earlier despair, her face was now streaked with them.

However, she also knew what kind of enemy Ye Wushuang was about to face, and she grew anxious, urging him to leave again and again.

Ye Wushuang glanced at the graceful figure in the sky, then his gaze fell upon a figure standing in the center of the valley, still dressed in a waiter’s uniform.

"It’s him!"

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc pointed at the figure. The waiter he had seen earlier was this very person. He just couldn’t understand how this man had managed to capture Lan Xinyu.

"Ye Wushuang, you’ve come!"

That figure stared at Ye Wushuang. Its black eyes suddenly changed, flashing with a demonic light.

"Everything you’ve done was just to lure me out, wasn’t it?" Ye Wushuang said coldly. He was certain this person was not Mo Wentian, nor was he from any of the Holy City’s factions. The aura on him wasn’t human; like the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc, it was the aura of a Demon Beast.

’Familiar!’

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed as a thought suddenly clicked into place.

"Your aura is very similar to that of the Shadow Demonic Fox. And your strength is at least at the Third Layer of the Profound Level. If I’m not mistaken, you must be the Shadow Demon King."

Ye Wushuang recalled the Shadow Demonic Fox he had encountered in the Cangyun Secret Realm. It had been a clone of the Shadow Demon King. No wonder the aura felt somewhat familiar!

"Clever indeed. Worthy of being an enemy to the younger generation of the Endless Wilderness. You figured out my identity from my aura alone."

"It’s a pity, though. Today, you are destined to die here!"

"But before you die, leave that body of yours to me. It’s such a waste for you to be using it."

The Shadow Demon King spoke sinisterly, a bloody light blooming in its eyes. The waiter’s body suddenly exploded, revealing its true form.

It was a giant, six-tailed gray fox, thirty or forty feet tall. Its six massive tails swayed in the void like dancing dragons and serpents, emitting an aura so powerful that the void itself couldn’t seem to bear it.

"Brat, I have waited far too long for this day! When my clone told me it had encountered a peerless physique of the ages, I didn’t believe it. But on the Barbarian God Battle Platform, I finally saw the truth. Now, hand your body over to me."

The Shadow Demon King stared greedily at Ye Wushuang’s body. Unable to restrain itself any longer, it charged toward him, its enormous body turning illusory and gradually shrinking.

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc also prepared to charge, but Ye Wushuang stopped it.

"Stay back!"

’As long as the Shadow Demon King dares to enter my Dantian to possess me, I can use the Illusionary Destruction Invincible Sword Formation to annihilate it.’

’And who knows, I might even be able to devour its Cultivation and achieve a breakthrough in one fell swoop!’

"Ignorant brat, do you think I would be as foolish as my clone?"

But the Shadow Demon King gave a strange smile. Its body transformed into six streaks of gray light that shot rapidly toward the spot between Ye Wushuang’s eyebrows.

Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed.

"Brat, by devouring your soul from your Divine Court, I have no need to fear what’s inside your Dantian! HA HA HA!"

A wild laugh rang out as the six streaks of gray light abruptly drilled into the spot between his eyebrows before Ye Wushuang could even react.
