71: Young master, this old servant is late!

Before the Scholar could finish speaking...

...he looked down at the wound on his chest.

Then, he looked up at the Moon Demon in disbelief!

"My Lord, you..."

The Moon Demon said coldly, "This Deity knows what you are thinking!"

He looked at Chen Xian.

With just one glance, Chen Xian felt as if he had been seen right through.

"It is nothing more than wanting This Deity to perform a Possession on that youth with the Immaculate Sacred Body!"

"And then use the soul-forbidding bead in your hand to control This Deity?"

"How could trash like you be worthy of such thoughts?"

As the Moon Demon spoke, the Scholar was already lying on the ground, twitching.

He tried desperately to crawl up from the ground.

But unfortunately, the Moon Demon's single strike ensured he would never rise again.

Compared to the disregard and contempt he showed Night Fiend and the others...

...the Moon Demon looked at him with even greater disdain!

He was too lazy to even bother giving the Scholar a quick death.

Instead, he turned his gaze toward Chen Xian.

"Immaculate Sacred Body! Invincible Sword Body?"

The Moon Demon's gaze was gloomy as he sneered, "I thought it was just an unremarkable vessel, but it seems there are many surprises!"

The moment he looked at Chen Xian...

...Chen Xian felt himself locked onto by a powerful aura.

His entire body was frozen in place.

Yet, as the Moon Demon walked toward him...

...Chen Xian finally gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words!

"Da Huang! Go!"

Da Huang suddenly lunged out from behind Chen Xian.

At first, the Moon Demon hadn't paid any attention to the dog behind him.

He didn't even care about humans, let alone an ordinary-looking yellow dog.

However, in the next second...

...as the dog bit toward the Moon Demon...

...a suppression coming from the Bloodline...

...caused the Moon Demon to actually feel a moment of terror.

"Tiangou!"

"Damn Tiangou Bloodline!"

After the Tiangou ate the moon back then...

...successive Clan Chiefs of the Tiangou Clan would attempt to eat the moon to prove their strength.

One generation's Tiangou Clan Chief ate the moon... and what he ate was the original Moon Demon.

Because the Moon Demon had nearly perished then, he would subconsciously shudder upon seeing a Tiangou, or even a Tiangou descendant, even if it wasn't the same dog!

He immediately retreated subconsciously!

"I didn't expect to see a Tiangou descendant after all these years. If it were your ancestor, I might have taken it more seriously."

"But with just you!"

A look of disdain appeared on the Moon Demon's face.

He reached out his hand!

Da Huang was instantly sent flying.

And in the next second...

...before Chen Xian could react, his throat was gripped.

His breathing became labored once again.

Holy crap!

Seriously, can't villains just stop with this 'forced love' trope!

Having my throat squeezed is just too uncomfortable!

The Moon Demon looked at Chen Xian and said indifferently, "A fine vessel."

"Kid, you should feel incredibly honored to become my vessel!"

After the Moon Demon finished speaking...

...a phantom flashed.

Chen Xian suddenly felt a Soul desperately trying to push his own Soul out of his body.

Dammit!

If this continues, he really is going to die.

But in this current situation...

...who could he possibly rely on?

At this moment...

Chen Xian felt some regret.

Why didn't I stay with Second Uncle, or even with Li Yu?

At least I could have kept my life.

Looking at it now...

...he still didn't have a clear understanding of the Nascent Soul Stage.

He thought that by using all his trump cards, he could defeat the Scholar.

And perhaps even use the soul-forbidding bead to restrain the Moon Demon.

But now it seems...

...he was a greedy snake trying to swallow an elephant.

In the end, he's gotten himself into this mess.

Just then...

Four phantoms appeared in the back garden.

"Who's there?"

"Lord Moon Demon, we are also Demonic Cultivators!"

"There are Cultivators outside coming to interfere; we wish to clear the obstacles for you!"

Hearing this, the Moon Demon...

...let out a cold laugh.

"A bunch of small fry!"

"Fine, go then. Once I finish my Possession of this kid, you may become my confidants!"

"Yes!"

The four Demon Lords vanished from the spot.

At this point, Chen Xian's heart was near despair.

Dammit!

No wonder these Demon Lords hadn't moved a muscle.

It turns out they saw their attempt to intercept fail, so they rushed over to show their loyalty!

Chen Xian felt his consciousness beginning to peel away.

However, at that moment...

The Moon Demon suddenly let out a terrified cry.

"Damn it, what is this thing?"

"Brat, what do you have inside your body?"

Hmm?

Chen Xian was also curious now.

You're the one trying to possess me, and now you're asking me what's inside?

He remembered he only had the Invincible Sword Body and the Immaculate Sacred Body he had just learned about!

The former was bestowed by the Fearless Sword Saint, while the latter was inherent to his original body.

One focuses on offense, allowing the cultivation of all sword Daos and ignoring all sword wounds!

The other focuses on talent, doubling the results of cultivation with half the effort. His talent and comprehension were beyond ordinary people.

He now understood why he could comprehend two wisps of Sword Intent at only the sixth level of Qi Refining.

But...

...what was with the Moon Demon's hysterical shouting?

Had he discovered something terrifying inside his body?

Chen Xian felt his consciousness gradually returning.

And the Moon Demon, who had intended to possess him, actually fled from his body at this moment.

The Moon Demon no longer looked down on the world as before; instead, a shocked expression was on his face.

"What kind of monster the hell are you?"

Chen Xian: "???"

Look, buddy.

You're a Demonic Cultivator; you're the monster.

And now you're asking me what kind of monster I am?

How should I know?

He had only just found out about the Immaculate Sacred Body himself.

Chen Xian looked at the Moon Demon's defensive posture.

He subconsciously said, "Why don't you calm down first?"

"How can I calm down?"

The Moon Demon wanted to leave in terror.

But just then...

A figure appeared behind him.

"Stop! Did I say you could leave?"

The newcomer wore tattered clothes.

Tied around his waist was a dirty apron.

Two pig-slaying sabers were tucked into his waist.

When Chen Xian saw this person, an image immediately popped into his mind.

This was Old Wang, the cook from Marquis Jubeis Residence.

He remembered stealing treats from the kitchen as a child, and Old Wang would only smile kindly at him.

Later on...

...after he transmigrated here, Marquis Jubeis Residence was empty.

This Old Wang had long since disappeared as well.

At that time, Chen Xian thought that people die for wealth just as birds die for food.

It wasn't surprising they left, considering all the wretched things the original owner of this body had done.

It was only natural for them to leave.

On the contrary, Chen Xian felt it would have been abnormal for them to stay.

So why did he see Old Wang returning today?

And judging by his posture...

...he didn't seem afraid of the Moon Demon at all.

"Old Wang, get out of here! He's definitely not someone you can handle!"

Chen Xian shouted subconsciously.

In his memory, although Old Wang knew a bit of martial arts, it was only for things like killing chickens or slicing meat.

Facing the Moon Demon would be like striking a stone with an egg!

Especially since provoking the Moon Demon would likely cost him his life.

But before he could finish, Old Wang looked toward Chen Xian.

Those originally cold eyes turned kind and amiable.

"Young Lord, this old servant is late!"
