37: Chapter 37 My Little Husband, Hold Me Tight

The forest at night appeared exceptionally cold and dreary, and waves of killing intent suddenly descended.

"My good disciple, where are you going?" A voice, sounding like that of the Grim Reaper, suddenly echoed through the mountains.

"It's that old thief, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji! Little Husband, I cannot marry you, but to die together—that would also be a very happy thing."

Empress Mi Qianxi smiled bitterly, her face ashen, her stunningly beautiful features suddenly shrouded in deep misery.

"Want to run? How could this Sect Master ever give you such a chance! You never had a chance to escape from the beginning; I have placed a mark of Mystic Power upon your body."

Sect Master Yuwen Huaji's figure appeared less than ten meters in front of Empress Mi Qianxi, saying with a triumphant expression, "For the sake of your Mi family's legacy, this master has painstakingly monitored you. My good disciple, if you had truly endured a little longer, I fear you might have actually succeeded."

[Name: Sect Master Yuwen Huaji]

[Age: 150]

[Realm: Earth Profound Realm, 9th Level]

[Constitution: Heavenly Demon Spirit Body (Purple)]

[Qi Luck: Northwest Overlord (Purple), Peerless Prodigy (White), Cunning and Treacherous (Cyan)]

[Fate: Dream-like (Black), Fate Exhausted (Black)]

[Destiny: "Phoenix Empress" (Supporting Character), "Great Emperor Rebirth" (Supporting Character), "Evil God" (Supporting Character)]

[Favorability: -90 (Life-and-Death Enemies)]

[Life Destiny: Awakened the Heavenly Demon Spirit Body upon first cultivation, broke through to the True Profound Realm at age 13.]

[Broke through to the Spirit Profound Realm at age 15.]

[At age 20, contracted a hidden ailment due to practicing the Heavenly Demon Yang Technique, cultivation broke through the mid-stage of the Spirit Profound Realm.]

[At age 50, cultivation still had not improved much.]

[At age 100, fellow sect brothers left the Heavenly Demon Sect one after another. In his anxiety, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji discovered that the cultivation technique he was practicing—the Heavenly Demon Yang Technique—actually possessed a devouring power. Driven by jealousy, he deceived the sect's disciples and his fellow brothers, poisoned them, and then secretly murdered them, turning them into nutrients to enhance his own strength.]

[At age 130, the Heavenly Demon Sect became the sole domain of Sect Master Yuwen Huaji. His cultivation had reached the 7th Level of the Earth Profound Realm, and he was searching everywhere for a breakthrough opportunity.]

[At age 143, upon hearing that the Great Chu Dynasty possessed a Saint's legacy cultivation technique, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji went to Great Chu and served as Prime Minister. Because of the many affairs of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he often had to return to the sect to handle them, secretly sending Elder Zhao Huan to investigate where the Great Chu Imperial Family Mi family's Saint's cultivation technique was located.]

[At age 150, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji finally obtained the whereabouts of the Mi family's Saint's cultivation technique. Because Elder Zhao Huan had been secretly monitoring Empress Mi Qianxi for many years, he finally discovered the clues.]

[Two hours ago, Zhao Huan secretly returned to the Heavenly Demon Sect and reported the matter of the Mi family's legacy to Sect Master Yuwen Huaji. Sect Master Yuwen Huaji was overjoyed, but because Zhao Huan let it slip, causing all the elders to learn of the Saint's legacy, Zhao Huan was silenced by Sect Master Yuwen Huaji.]

[Half an hour ago, because his son, General Yuwen Chengdu's soul lamp went out, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji was enraged and mobilized the entire Heavenly Demon Sect, starting a war against all the nations in the Northwest Hundred Thousand Mountains.]

[A quarter of an hour later, Empress Mi Qianxi was killed by Sect Master Yuwen Huaji. Having failed to obtain the Saint's cultivation technique as wished, he had no choice but to order the sect elders and disciples to withdraw, returning empty-handed.]

[At age 155, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji was killed on the spot by Lin Feng.]

Ye Xuan looked at this information with interest; without a doubt, this was the original ending for Sect Master Yuwen Huaji.

Because his foundation was damaged, he went on to harm his fellow sect brothers; he really is a sinister and cunning old monster.

Except for Saint Master Feng Linglong, who is in the Saint Profound Realm, this Sect Master Yuwen Huaji before him is the highest-level cultivator he has encountered so far.

With strength at the peak of the Earth Profound Realm, it is just unknown how he compares to that quasi-fifth-order Purple Flame Beast he encountered last time.

"Old thing, you actually sent people to wipe out other dynasties? It seems you cannot be left alive. I must quickly finish you off and return to deal with the other elders and disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Ye Xuan's gaze toward Sect Master Yuwen Huaji immediately carried a hint of killing intent. Family is the bottom line that must never be touched; without a doubt, the Great Qin Dynasty must have already been attacked by now.

"Old monster, your son, General Yuwen Chengdu, is already dead. Now, I will send you down to accompany him."

"Empress Mi Qianxi, originally this Sect Master had not intended to kill you. You are a disciple I have taught with all my heart. Honestly handing over the Mi family's Saint's legacy and then marrying my son would be your best path."

Sect Master Yuwen Huaji looked at Empress Mi Qianxi, who was carrying Ye Xuan, and a monstrous killing intent surged beneath his aged face: "But you! You actually killed him. This Sect Master will make you know what it means to be cruel!"

"He deserved to die!"

Empress Mi Qianxi had no fear in her beautiful eyes, only deep hatred: "The old thief killed my Imperial Father; why should I not be able to kill General Yuwen Chengdu?"

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting. You actually already know that this Sect Master killed Mi Wushuang. How amusing!"

Hearing this, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji was stunned for a moment, and a trace of pleasure flashed across his aged face: "Could it be that you were present the whole time back then?"

"Old thief, I will never forget the day you killed my Imperial Father. I hate you so much I want to tear you into a thousand pieces!" Empress Mi Qianxi gritted her teeth in hatred, but at this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with desolation and regret.

Having laid low for many years, in the end, everything fell short tonight.

Heavens, can you really let such a sinful old beast continue to live?

"I haven't seen your true face in three years. Unexpected, my good disciple, you are actually so stunningly beautiful. No wonder my foolish son could be infatuated with you to this day."

Empress Mi Qianxi's stunning beauty caused even Sect Master Yuwen Huaji to marvel. It was a feeling he had not experienced in many years. A hint of lust, never before felt, even arose in his aged eyes: "Hand over your Mi family's Saint's cultivation technique and obediently become my female slave, and this Sect Master might consider not killing you for now."

"Old thief, you will never, ever get my Mi family's Saint's cultivation technique!"

Empress Mi Qianxi looked at Sect Master Yuwen Huaji with eyes full of hatred: "And I will certainly not be your slave. If you want the 'Qi Luck Sealing Saint Art' of my Mi family, you are dreaming. Even if I die, I will never tell you!"

This time, she did not hide the name of the Saint's cultivation technique.

Sect Master Yuwen Huaji, who had obtained the accurate name on the side, shrieked with great joy: "Hahaha, is it really the same Qi Luck cultivation technique as that of the Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty in the Northern Wilderness Region!"

Excitement, wild joy. If he could really obtain this cultivation technique, with his, Sect Master Yuwen Huaji's, comprehension, it might not be impossible for him to become a Saint in the future, or even go further!

"Hand over the 'Qi Luck Sealing Saint Art' to this Sect Master!"

At this moment, the aura of the peak of the Earth Profound Realm around Sect Master Yuwen Huaji exploded completely, and the incomparably terrifying pressure locked Empress Mi Qianxi and Ye Xuan tightly in place.

"Impossible! Even if I die, I will not give it to you!"

Empress Mi Qianxi said without fear in the face of danger: "My Mi family's Saint's cultivation technique can only be practiced by us members of the Mi family. An old thief like you, who has lost all conscience, should not think of obtaining it!"

"It seems you are courting death just like Mi Wushuang! Forget it, forget it. After I kill you, I will just use the Soul Searching Technique to obtain it from your soul!"

Sect Master Yuwen Huaji approached Empress Mi Qianxi step by step. The Saint's cultivation technique, now within reach, had already caused him to lose his reason. Beneath that aged face, there was only one goal: to obtain the Saint's cultivation technique and become a Saint-level powerhouse like the founding emperor of the Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty in the future.

"Little Husband, hold me tight!"

Empress Mi Qianxi touched Ye Xuan's face. Although there was not the slightest panic on her face, the desolation deep within her beautiful eyes was enough to stun everyone.
