227: Chapter 227 The Inheritance of Wrath, A Single Sword Slash to Decapitate

World-Mixing Devil King lay in the ruins, trembling all over, like a snake whose tail had been stepped on.

"Brother, why have you come back? Are there any further instructions?"

Chu Sheng stood before him, looking down at him. The zhu xian sword was not unsheathed, but its body flowed with a faint light in the dimness.

"Speak," Chu Sheng's voice was not loud, "everything you know about Yu Rumeng, tell me."

World-Mixing Devil King swallowed, his eyes darting around, as if weighing the consequences of speaking or not.

Chu Sheng pressed his hand onto the hilt, and World-Mixing Devil King immediately began to speak, his voice as rapid as spilling beans.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! That... isn't Yu Rumeng a succubus from the Nine Nether Palace?"

"A few months ago, I don't know how she ended up on the territory of the Wanmo Hall."

"Originally, this wasn't much; Devil Kings visiting each other isn't a big deal."

"But she just had to barge into the Forbidden Ground of the Wanmo Hall—a relic where two superior Devil Kings fought. Those were two Daocheng Realm Devil Kings, and in the end, both perished."

Chu Sheng's brows twitched.

World-Mixing Devil King continued: "We in the Wanmo Hall haven't even figured out that relic ourselves."

"There are too many Restrictions. Lord Earth Fiend Devil King has sent people to guard it for hundreds of years, and no one has been able to enter."

"As it turns out, Yu Rumeng didn't know what method she used, but she got in, and even brought something out—a wisp of the Heavenly Demon Inheritance of Wrath."

His voice was pressed very low, as if speaking of some unspeakable secret.

"It's one of the Physique types just like yours, Wrath."

"Several of us Devil Kings were nearby at the time, sensed that aura, and chased after her."

"Lord Earth Fiend Devil King said that since this thing was found on the territory of the Wanmo Hall, it should rightfully belong to the Wanmo Hall."

"Yu Rumeng refused to hand it over, saying whoever got it, it belongs to them."

Chu Sheng was silent for a while.

Heavenly Demon Legacy, Wrath.

One of the seven Legacies left behind by the Heavenly Demon Ancestor: Arrogance, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and lust.

Arrogance is in the Demon Tomb, Gluttony was suppressed, Greed is dead, and Sloth is sleeping on the Third Peak of Wendao Palace.

Wrath, actually ended up in Yu Rumeng's hands.

"And then?" Chu Sheng asked.

World-Mixing Devil King's voice was even lower, carrying a trace of lingering fear.

"Then Lord Earth Fiend Devil King made a move."

"Hundred Eyes Devil King, Blue Flame Devil King, and I, four Devil Kings surrounded her."

Chu Sheng thought.

Yu Rumeng shouldn't have refined the rumeng token yet at this time, her cultivation was only at Mid-stage Palace Building, no wonder she was chased and beaten.

"But she was as slippery as a loach, and fled all the way into the Reverse Demon Tower."

He looked down at his own broken body and gave a bitter smile.

"We chased her through several floors of the tower, and when we reached the fifth floor, we were counter-killed by her."

"She didn't know how she suddenly became stronger, and with one palm, she beat me into this state."

"Hundred Eyes Devil King and Blue Flame Devil King were also injured; only Lord Earth Fiend Devil King could still fight her."

Chu Sheng looked at World-Mixing Devil King's pale face, thinking that this foolish guy could survive being beaten like this; it was a stroke of Luck.

World-Mixing Devil King raised his head, looking at Chu Sheng, a gleam suddenly flashing in his eyes.

"Brother, are you also here to snatch the Inheritance of Wrath? Why don't we join forces?"

"I know Yu Rumeng is currently on the sixth floor, and Lord Earth Fiend Devil King is there too."

"Let's go up, and while they are both injured, snatch the Inheritance of Wrath."

"Brother, if you want it, I'll help you. Just share some benefits with me later."

His face squeezed into a fawning smile, like a dog wagging its tail.

Chu Sheng did not answer.

He was thinking about other things.

No wonder.

The Yu Rumeng he knew in the simulator was a succubus who quietly stayed in the Nine Nether Palace territory for Artifact Refining.

She didn't cause trouble, didn't fight for things, and only wanted to refine the rumeng token.

She just needed the heart of a lover.

But in this life, she left the Nine Nether Palace, ran to the territory of the Wanmo Hall, broke into a relic, snatched a Legacy, was hunted down, and fled into the Reverse Demon Tower.

All of this was because of that "Beauty's Encounter".

Many Children, Many Blessings, a colorful trait.

It wasn't reversing fate, but guiding it.

Taking those Opportunities that originally belonged to them, digging them out from the corners of fate, and pushing them in front of them.

Yu Rumeng should have obtained the Inheritance of Wrath originally, but without Many Children, Many Blessings, she might never have embarked on this path.

Now she had embarked on it, but it also brought a fatal disaster.

Chu Sheng took a deep breath.

The experience from the last simulation might not be usable in this life.

It's not that the simulator isn't accurate, it's that his butterfly effect is too big.

He changed the fate of too many people: Xiao Huan, Yue Jianli, Ye Wuhen, and now it's Yu Rumeng's turn.

But he wasn't afraid. He is now at Mid-stage Palace Building, holding the four swords of zhuxian, carrying the Luck of Wendao Palace, and carrying Heaven And Earth Treasure swiped from Sloth in his bosom.

With enough strength, he fears nothing.

World-Mixing Devil King saw he didn't speak, and leaned closer, whispering.

"Brother, say something. Do you want the Inheritance of Wrath?"

"If you don't want it, give it to me."

"If I get it, you'll be my own brother, and I'll build a spirit tablet for you in the Wanmo Hall—"

Chu Sheng lowered his head, looking at World-Mixing Devil King's fawning face, and suddenly laughed.

"Heh. Of course I want it. I have to punish her severely."

World-Mixing Devil King's eyes lit up fiercely.

He thought Chu Sheng meant he wanted to snatch the Inheritance of Wrath and punish Yu Rumeng.

He was so happy he almost jumped up from the ground, ignoring his injuries, and said repeatedly.

"Really? That's great! Brother, let's go up now!"

"I know that woman's weakness—"

World-Mixing Devil King didn't finish his sentence.

A black sword light flashed, so fast he didn't even have time to react.

His head flew up, spinning twice in the air, the expression on his face frozen.

The cut on his neck was as smooth as a mirror, and black blood sprayed from the cavity, splashing onto the ruins, making a sizzling sound.

Chu Sheng sheathed his sword, looking at the head rolling in the rubble.

"Daring to bully my wife, go to hell."

World-Mixing Devil King's eyes were still open, his pupils reflecting Chu Sheng's back.

He wanted to say something, but his throat was already gone.

His consciousness sank into darkness, and the last thought was... he said punishment, not snatching?

Chu Sheng didn't look at World-Mixing Devil King's corpse again.

For this kind of scum, if it weren't for questioning, he would have killed him at first sight.

He turned and walked towards the sixth floor, his steps steady, each step landing firmly.

The zhu xian sword vibrated slightly at his waist, as if urging him to hurry.

The sixth floor.

Yu Rumeng is on the sixth floor.

Earth Fiend Devil King is also on the sixth floor.

There are also Hundred Eyes Devil King and Blue Flame Devil King.

They are not like this water-trash Devil King.

Three Devil Kings surrounding her.

Chu Sheng quickened his pace.
