“A Holy Artifact?”
Grandmaster Taixu bitterly smiled.
Not only was the King of Chaos a Daluo Golden Immortal of Great Accomplishment, an exceptional Demon King, but he also possessed a treasure at the level of a Holy Artifact. In its presence, Grandmaster Taixu felt completely hopeless and powerless.
The gap between them was too great.
If Grandmaster Taixu were given hundreds of thousands of years to cultivate, he was confident that he could contend against the King of Chaos.
But Grandmaster Taixu had no time left.
The vast bridal procession of the Floating Clouds Sect arrived at Accumulated Thunder Mountain; many Elders and Disciples from the sect showed curious and reverent expressions as they took in the surroundings of Accumulated Thunder Mountain.
Accumulated Thunder Mountain was a powerful demon sect, and human cultivators rarely had the chance to witness its true appearance.
Seven towering streams of Demonic Qi enveloped the great hall of Accumulated Thunder Mountain. The Demonic Qi soared to the heavens, causing one’s soul to tremble.
“All seven Demon Kings are ruthless. If the seven Demon Kings joined forces, even some Cultivator Clans would shudder three times over.”
“Our Liuyun Pavilion has three Daluo Golden Immortals. If we successfully form a marital alliance with Accumulated Thunder Mountain, it will be as if we have ten Daluo Golden Immortals. Which sect in the Yuhua Domain would dare to go against our Floating Clouds Sect?”
The numerous Elders and Disciples of the Floating Clouds Sect were filled with anticipation.
It wouldn’t be long before Liuyun Pavilion became the number one great sect in the Yuhua Domain.
The people of Liuyun Pavilion arrived at the great hall of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, where the seven Demon Kings sat on their thrones, haughtily looking down upon everyone from Liuyun Pavilion.
Liuyun Pavilion held considerable power in the Yuhua Domain, but it was incomparable to the seven Demon Kings.
The King of Chaos alone, being a Demon King, could match up to three of Liuyun Pavilion’s Daluo Golden Immortals.
“King of Chaos, I now entrust my disciple to you. From now on, do not mistreat my disciple, as our Floating Clouds Sect and Accumulated Thunder Mountain shall become allies.”
The Sect Leader of Liuyun Pavilion, leaning on a staff, had the standing to converse with the King of Chaos.
“I promise you, but before that, I want to check the goods,” said the King of Chaos.
With a great grip of his hand, invisible True Qi shattered the bridal sedan, startling everyone present.
Fairy Qingxia appeared, protected by True Qi, and had not been killed by the King of Chaos.
Fairy Qingxia lifted her veil, bit her thin lip, and glared angrily at the King of Chaos.
“Very good, you’ve already reached the Golden Immortal stage. It seems I didn’t misjudge you in the past; in the future, you have the potential to become an Immortal Emperor alongside me,” the King of Chaos said with satisfaction regarding Fairy Qingxia’s talents.
Fairy Qingxia was a Spirit Sword Physique, and among those with the Spirit Sword Physique, her talents were indeed top-notch.
The King of Chaos was confident that he would become an Immortal Emperor in the future. His consort must also be an Immortal Emperor, to ensure that their progeny would also possess the qualifications to become an Immortal Emperor.
“King of Chaos, can you give up our marriage? You should know that I already have someone in my heart,” Fairy Qingxia pleaded in despair.
She knew she was no match for the King of Chaos and could only hope that he would voluntarily give up.
“Qingxia, what are you saying?!” The Sect Leader of Liuyun Pavilion, an old crone, turned pale with shock; after waiting thirty thousand years, Fairy Qingxia still couldn’t forget Grandmaster Taixu. This would undoubtedly enrage the King of Chaos!
The other six Demon Kings’ faces turned ashen. Fairy Qingxia truly didn’t give face to the King of Chaos.
However, the King of Chaos was not annoyed, but instead burst into hearty laughter, “I knew you hadn’t forgotten him, but today, you must give up on him completely.”
The smile on the King of Chaos’s face gradually stiffened, and with a flick of his finger, Grandmaster Taixu, bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, appeared in the air.
“Taixu!”
Fairy Qingxia’s face turned pale; she hadn’t expected that Grandmaster Taixu had been captured by the King of Chaos, instead of coming to see her one last time.
“Qingxia…”
Grandmaster Taixu was in extreme pain; the woman he loved most was right in front of him, yet she was going to be forced to marry the King of Chaos, and he could do nothing.
“For your sake, he actually dared to risk his life to come to Accumulated Thunder Mountain to assassinate me, but what a pity, with his cultivation merely at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, how could he possibly have the strength to assassinate me?” the King of Chaos said contentedly as he watched the pained expressions of Fairy Qingxia and Grandmaster Taixu.
Biting down hard on her silver teeth, Pear Blossoms with Tears, Fairy Qingxia asked, “What must be done for you to let him go?”
“Simple,” said the King of Chaos. “Just give yourself to me, body and soul, and I will let him go.”
The King of Chaos pulled out a wooden box; upon opening it, a black insect with wings flew out.
Seeing the insect, the face of the Sect Leader of Liuyun Pavilion couldn’t help but change.
An Elder asked, “Sect Leader, what is this demonic creature?”
The old crone’s expression grew serious, “This is a Heart-binding Worm, an Ancient Demon Worm. Once infected by this worm, unless your strength surpasses that of the master, you can’t resist, and the master will even know your thoughts. But, the worm can only be implanted if one willingly lets down their guard. The King of Chaos intends to use this young man to coerce Qingxia into hosting the Heart-binding Worm, thereby controlling Qingxia.”
The elders of the Liuyun Pavilion, upon hearing the news, turned pale.
The Heart-binding Worm could even control a Daluo Golden Immortal, which was truly terrifying.
Even the Sect Leader of Liuyun Pavilion thought the King of Chaos had gone too far, but the situation was now out of their control; with seven Great Demons gathered at Accumulated Thunder Mountain, there was no room for the old woman to oppose.
“Qingxia, don’t agree to him, I’d rather die.”
Grandmaster Taixu was in even more pain when he saw that the King of Chaos intended to plant the Heart-binding Worm in Fairy Qingxia.
Once afflicted by the worm, she would be at the mercy of the King of Chaos henceforth.
Fairy Qingxia was in agony, her complexion conflicted as she knew all too well how formidable the Heart-binding Worm was; once afflicted, it was almost tantamount to being completely controlled by the King of Chaos, possibly for all eternity.
But for Grandmaster Taixu, Fairy Qingxia’s struggling expression eventually turned resolute; she stretched out her palm, and the Heart-binding Worm landed in her hand.
The seven Great Demons watched Fairy Qingxia’s struggles with a mocking look.
Once she consumed the Heart-binding Worm, then Fairy Qingxia would be entirely under the control of the King of Chaos.
“No!”
Grandmaster Taixu struggled fiercely but still couldn’t break free from the Immortal Binding Rope.
“Shut up.”
Seeing that Fairy Qingxia was about to give in and Grandmaster Taixu was trying to interfere, the King of Chaos’s mind stirred, and the Immortal Binding Rope tightened, causing Grandmaster Taixu even more pain.
“As long as I am inflicted with the Heart-binding Worm, you’ll release him, right?”
Fairy Qingxia’s gaze was resolute, having made her decision.
“That’s right.”
“Fine.”
Fairy Qingxia was about to consume the Heart-binding Worm, and Grandmaster Taixu was in such despair that his soul felt like it was going to shatter.
Suddenly, a blast of flame came hurling over, striking the Heart-binding Worm.
This ancient creature howled in agony within the flames and instantly turned to ash.
Fairy Qingxia, the people of the Liuyun Pavilion, the seven Great Demons, and the crowd of demons from Accumulated Thunder Mountain, all were shocked by the sudden turn of events.
The ancient demonic creature, the Heart-binding Worm, had just perished like that?
“Who dares to spoil this great king’s plans!”
The King of Chaos looked up sharply at the skies above Accumulated Thunder Mountain, his forehead’s veins bulging, outraged.
He couldn’t believe someone dared to cause trouble on his territory, shattering the plan he had awaited for thirty thousand years.
“Is it you?!”
The King of Chaos’s eyes widened like a brass bell; he saw a fairy, dressed in a cyan Liuxian Skirt, holding a light Luo fan, gliding on the wind, her left hand still holding a bright flame.
“The Qingyue Fairy from Jing Long Immortal Temple?”
The other six Great Demons were also shocked.
The seven Great Demons had not expected Qingyue Fairy to intervene halfway.
The flame in Qingyue Fairy’s hand was the Wuji True Fire. Such divine fire could easily burn to death the Heart-binding Worm, one of the ancient demonic insects, without harming Fairy Qingxia.
Including Qingyue Fairy, a total of twelve people had stormed into Accumulated Thunder Mountain.
“Why does Jing Long Immortal Temple also want to intervene in this matter?”
The Sect Leader of Liuyun Pavilion showed a look of surprise in his eyes.
Although there were only two Daluo Golden Immortals in the Jing Long Immortal Temple, Qingyue Fairy and Shangguan Zhao’er, the strength of Qingyue Fairy was not necessarily inferior to that of the King of Chaos.
“Qingyue, are you trying to ruin my plans? Do you know the consequences?”
The King of Chaos was displeased, his eyes flashing dangerously.
The seven Great Demons started to be on guard in secret, ready to act at any moment.
With Qingyue Fairy leading people into Accumulated Thunder Mountain, they clearly had malicious intentions.
However, Qingyue Fairy laughed lightly, “King of Chaos, the trouble you’re facing today is not from me but from my disciple.”
As her words ended, Lu Changsheng spoke coldly, “King of Chaos, the couple is a match made in heaven, sworn to each other in the Mortal World. Since when is it your turn, this demon, to interfere?”
“Do you realize what you’re saying?”
The King of Chaos was on the verge of exploding with rage, having never been spoken to so disrespectfully by a human cultivator.
