213: The owner Cao An is honored

After Cao An sent Demon Emperor Wuxiang back to his bedchamber, he grumbled and cursed all the way back to the Crown Prince's Residence.

He had never imagined that Demon Emperor Wuxiang's transformation techniques were so terrifying, capable of deceiving even a cunning and insidious person like himself.

"Fate truly plays cruel tricks; I never thought I, Cao An, would have a day of suffering like this."

As soon as he climbed into the Crown Prince's Residence, he caught sight of a figure stumbling up from behind a rockery not far away.

He fixed his gaze, and his face lit up with joy.

"There's a reaction; this is definitely the real Blood Da."

Immediately, he flashed behind Blood Da.

"Who?!"

Blood Da rubbed his head, spun around abruptly, and then saw a white cloth covering his mouth and nose.

A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and his body swayed before he collapsed.

Cao An chuckled, put away the white cloth, and pulled Blood Da into his arms.

"I've finally found the main target; the harm your father inflicted on me, I will repay a hundredfold on you."

With that, he was about to leave with Blood Da.

Suddenly, a faint sound came from the direction of the bedchamber.

Cao An's heart was curious, and he quietly approached, holding Blood Da. When he saw the familiar figure inside the chamber, excitement instantly surged in his eyes.

"I wondered why I hadn't seen the Family Head all day; so he was here!"

An indescribable thrill surged through Cao An's heart. He looked down at Blood Da in his arms and licked his lips.

"Family Head, Cao An is deeply honored."

...

The next day at noon, Shadowmoon slowly opened her eyes. The soreness throughout her body instantly spread to her limbs, making her gasp and let out a low cry: "Hiss... Husband, I... it was my first time, you were too rough last night."

She playfully raised her hand and gently patted the chest of the person beside her.

But the voice that responded made her heart clench.

That was clearly not Blood Da's voice.

"My apologies, this Sect Master thought it wasn't your first time, so I used two hundred percent of my strength last night."

Shadowmoon abruptly looked up. When she saw the face of the person before her, her blood almost froze. She hastily grabbed the quilt, wrapped herself tightly, and shrank into the corner of the bed, staring at the other person with terror in her eyes: "Uncle Hun? How are you here? Then last night?"

Cao Nie smiled, his tone playful: "Indeed, it was I who spent the night of spring with you last night."

Shadowmoon frantically looked around the bedchamber but couldn't find Blood Da's figure. Tears instantly welled up, and she choked out, "Where is my husband?"

Cao Nie subtly glanced outside the chamber.

Cao An, outside the chamber, seemed to sense something and immediately left quietly with the unconscious Blood Da.

"Your husband, you ask?" Cao Nie deliberately drew out his words, smiling, "He offered you to Uncle Hun."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Shadowmoon shook her head, her eyes tearful, biting her lower lip tightly, unwilling to believe this answer.

Cao Nie slowly approached her. Shadowmoon recoiled repeatedly, but there was no more room to retreat in the corner of the bed.

"Little Yue, since things have come to this, why don't you obediently follow Uncle Hun? You witnessed Uncle Hun's capabilities last night. Follow me, and you won't regret it in the future."

"You beast!" Shadowmoon's eyes were full of hatred as she cursed sharply.

Just as Cao Nie was about to speak, the chamber door was suddenly pushed open.

Night Youyou and Moon Yaoji rushed in, looking anxious.

"Soul Heaven Emperor! We searched for you all night, and you were hiding here!"

The two women glanced at Shadowmoon, who was disheveled and tear-stained in the corner of the bed, their expressions a mix of expectation and surprise.

Night Youyou spoke first, her tone seeking confirmation: "It seems you've succeeded?"

Cao Nie nodded, calmly retorting, "Why are you so flustered?"

Moon Yaoji quickly took a step forward and spoke rapidly: "Demon Emperor Wuxiang was killed by the two of us! Now the entire Wu Xiang Demon Dynasty is leaderless. We came to ask if you have a way to stabilize the powerful experts in the court?"

Cao Nie frowned slightly.

How could these two women have the ability to kill Demon Emperor Wuxiang?

But then he thought of the item in Cao An's hand.

As long as one hadn't broken through to the Red Dust Immortal realm, they would be completely defenseless against that item.

Thus, it made sense that Demon Emperor Wuxiang, after being hit, would be powerless to resist and eventually die at the hands of the two women.

Shadowmoon, in the corner of the bed, was stunned when she heard this, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Who was Demon Emperor Wuxiang?

He was the recognized strongest expert in the Demon Abyss.

His power alone was comparable to three ordinary peak Half-Immortal experts, and now he had actually died in the hands of these two women?

"Your... Your Majesty is really dead?" She even temporarily forgot her own predicament, eagerly asking.

Night Youyou nodded, her tone carrying a hint of ruthlessness: "Not only is he dead, but even his corpse was devoured by us."

Shadowmoon looked at Night Youyou and Moon Yaoji in shock.

How vicious these two women were!

They had accompanied Demon Emperor Wuxiang for tens of thousands of years, and they killed him just like that.

But then she thought, what did they want with Uncle Hun? Could it be...

A preposterous yet seemingly the only thought gradually formed in her mind.

Cao Nie suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms, his tone somewhat teasing: "Indeed, it's exactly as you're thinking."

Shadowmoon trembled, looking at Cao Nie in horror, and asked again, "What about Blood Da? What exactly did you do to him?"

"He's dead," Cao Nie said indifferently. "Don't think about him anymore; he can't come back. From now on, the three of you are all this Sect Master's people."

With that, before Shadowmoon could react, he condensed a dark light with his fingertip and instantly planted the Divine Demon Seal in Shadowmoon's sea of consciousness.

After dealing with Shadowmoon, Cao Nie turned to look at Night Youyou and Moon Yaoji, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "It's your turn."

The two women exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion: "What is this?"

"The Divine Demon Seal." Cao Nie slowly walked towards them, his voice carrying an undeniable sense of oppression: "Once planted, your lives are entirely at my whim."

Upon hearing this, Night Youyou and Moon Yaoji's faces instantly paled.

Night Youyou suppressed the panic in her heart, stepped forward, and linked her arm with Cao Nie's, her voice soft and coaxing: "Brother~ Can you not plant this Divine Demon Seal on me?"

Cao Nie chuckled softly. The Netherworld Sword suddenly unsheathed, its tip precisely pressed against Moon Yaoji's neck. A trace of crimson blood slowly trickled down the blade.

"You two even dared to kill Demon Emperor Wuxiang. If I don't plant the Divine Demon Seal, do you think I can rest assured keeping you by my side?"

His eyes turned cold, his tone full of deterrence: "Now I'll give you two choices: either die, or obediently let me plant the Divine Demon Seal. Choose."

Moon Yaoji still held a glimmer of hope, her voice trembling as she spoke: "Soul Heaven Emperor..."

"Pfft!"

The sound of a long sword tearing through flesh echoed in the chamber.

Moon Yaoji looked down at the Netherworld Sword piercing her abdomen, her face filled with disbelief.

She stared at Cao Nie before her, feeling as if she had fallen into an abyss even more terrifying than when she faced Demon Emperor Wuxiang.

"I'm giving you one last chance." Cao Nie's voice was devoid of warmth: "Say one more word, and it won't be as simple as piercing your abdomen."
