885 14.161 Last Violet Star – Jin Tiangui Sect’s Crisis

After that, Hei Anjing and the God of End’s discourse came to an end. Hei Anjing began to make plans after learning how to forcibly make that person rejected by this world. He and his family will be able to spend more time together in this world as long as that individual is no longer there. Hei Anjing is currently most interested in doing this.

Nevertheless, Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye refrained from joining the conflict between mortals and demons. But, they kept an eye on Yun Huaxia, Bai Qiyin, and the young disciples who were assisting them in their labor. The Capital City is not far from West City. The demons did not immediately assault the Central Region after trampling the North; instead, they targeted the Eastern City.

When contrasted with the North, the Eastern City is less strong. Even though Jin Shiyan made every effort to safeguard his country, the demonic monsters, whose number appears to never stop, continued to assault it. The opulent road was broken up, and the buildings were destroyed. Only the Jin Tiangui Sect was sheltered behind the formation Jin Shiyan created on his brother-in-law Hei Anjing’s instructions to keep them safe, but even that final barrier is on the edge of collapsing as fire spreads throughout the city.

Inside the Jin Tiangui Sect Main Palace…

The surviving clan elders were assembled with Jin Shiyan, his wife Bai Lili, and other family members. The majority of them had dejected looks on their faces as they pondered what had just occurred in their cherished city. All of their efforts had been lost in an instant due to the brutality of the demon creatures and the devils that were leading them.

They are helpless as they are about to be murdered in their own country. They had assembled together in order to discuss what they ought to do next. The first thing those demons smashed was their communication crystal. Every communication crystal in the Jin Tiangui Sect was destroyed by those who disguised themselves as humans. They were in such a predicament that they were unable to seek assistance from other groups.

“Sect Master all communication orbs had been destroyed by that demon in human disguise. They did this before they surrounded our city and started their invasion.” 𝘰𝑣𝘭.𝗇𝓔t

“It seems that they have an intelligent leader if they move this organized. We need a way to contact the other sect, especially the Lan Zhuayun Sect where Lord Hei is.”

…..

“But I heard that Northern City had already been destroyed! That’s the first land those vicious creatures had attacked first.”

“I wonder if there are survivors in the Bai Lengshui Sect?”

“There must be. There are immortals living in the Bai Clan. They might already join the Lan Zhuayun Sect in the West.”

“What should we do now? There is no one who could use space elements among us.”

Bai Lili raised her hand and said, “I don’t have a communication orb but I have the special flares my Bai Clan had given me. But…”

“But… What is it, Lili? Is there a problem?” asked Jin Shiyan as he finally got a spark of hope that they might be able to survive.

Bai Lili said, “Those demons outside might block it as we need to do it outside the formation for the flares to be seen.”

When they first learned about the unique flares, Jin Shiyan and the elders were pleased. But, things changed when they learned that it had to be done outside of the formation. The formation itself blocked the sight of those who were outside the formation. To achieve it, certain sacrifices must be made.

“Mistress, we can block those devils for you until you use the flares. We will ensure you are safe until the reinforcements from Lord Qiyin and Lord Wuan arrive.”

Bai Lili calls with tears in her eyes, “Uncle Lan…”

The other Jin Tiangui Sect members were now able to witness Bai Lili’s special guards for the first time; even Jin Shiyan, who had only recently learned of their existence, had never seen them before. After all, these guards would only appear in front of Bai Lili, their Mistress.

But now when their Mistress is in danger and cooperation is the only option, these guards are finally prepared to reveal themselves. The elders of the Jin Tiangui Sect, including Jin Shiyan, were astounded. These little bands of guards are already at their peak stages of the golden core stage, and some of them were even at their peak stages of soul transformation. They are powerhouses when compared to the other elders of the Jin Tiangui Sect.

The Jin Tiangui Sect experienced this as a smack in the face. When they were still battling it out for power in the Sect before the catastrophe brought on by demons and devils had befallen their species several of them had pushed Bai Lili to the point where she and her son returned to her original home after Jin Shiyan went missing. Who would have thought that at that time these men were hiding in the dark watching them act like stupid dogs that need kicking? Fortunately, they didn’t cross any lines or they wouldn’t be alive today.

The moment a few men wearing a dark navy blue robes appeared they saluted to Bai Lili.

Bai Lili said, “Uncle Lan, the other uncles too. Thank you very much. Lili is extremely grateful for your help and… I’m sorry. I’m still… Too weak even though I have immortal blood on me.”

“That’s not true, my lady! You have grown powerful enough. It’s just that the enemies this time are too many and… There is something outside there watching us like he is observing something. I fear that his target is my lady herself but I don’t know why.” A secret guard called Uncle Lan said.

Jin Shiyan said, “Is it a high-ranking devil?”

“I haven’t seen a high-ranking devil myself but heard a few things about them. That their aura is menacing and disguising as it was made up of death qi but… But the aura I am feeling from that person is so different. It wasn’t suffocating and nauseating but… A serene aura of purity.”

“If it’s a pure aura is it not a devil then?” asked Jin Shiyan in confusion.

“It is but… His aura is not simple. It is obviously demonic yet not at the same time. Yes, it was a bit similar to Lord Wuan’s aura but this man’s aura is much more sinister.”

Upon hearing what Uncle Lan had said, everyone remained silent. They felt uneasy knowing that there was a factor outside of themselves that they couldn’t oversee, whether it was an adversary or not. Even at that point, Jin Shiyan was aware that they had run out of time and needed to make a decision that would either rescue them if they were successful or kill them all if they failed.

Jin Shiyan spoke, “Okay. Just keep that presence in mind and put your guard up. We need to make sure that the flare is lit so those who are outside would know that we need help.”

“This servant will do his best to support the Lord and My Lady!” said Uncle Lan.

They devised strategies for using the special flares that Bai Lili was in possession of. To ensure that at least one of the flares would be successful, they had to make sufficient preparations. At this point, the elders of the Jin Tiangui Sect let go of their greed and gave it their all to ensure the survival of the Jin Clan’s surviving members. They themselves are married, have kids, and have a family. Those they sought to protect would be able to survive as long as this strategy was successful. They would be more than eager to carry out this objective to the very end. As long as they could guarantee the future of the people they care about.

Meanwhile in the Upper Realms…

On their journey to ascension, the demonic creatures that sought to attack the capital city were slain by Bai Hua and Hei Wan. Because of this, the Human Emperor was able to plan well in order to save his people and assist those who had managed to flee from the other city that had been taking them in. Also, they have combined all of their resources to maintain the formation that is only permitted in the Imperial Palace in order to expand the city’s boundaries.

As soon as Bai Hua and Hei Wan reached the Heavenly Domain, they rushed to the Ice Jade Imperial Palace to inform the palace of the events that had taken place in the Mortal Realm. When they learned that the barrier between the human world from the demon realm had broken, the Immortal Empress and Immortal Emperor had dreadful expressions on their faces as was to be anticipated.

The Immortal Emperor asked, “Who broke the world barrier that protects the Mortal Realm.”

“Answering the Imperial Father’s question, Erchen heard that it was a human traitor named Jin Baihua. He is the former Sect Master of Jin Tiangui Sect. He is an ominous person who even imprisoned his own brother for the sake of fame and greed.” Hei Wan said.

Bai Hua added, “This mortal is also a devil’s vessel. He had been lurking in the mortal realm for a long time and only got his mask broken when Xiao Jing had once again descended into the mortal world. It seems he was afraid of him which made him make actions that expose his identity as a devil’s vessel.”????????w??????o??????. c????

“How can such an evil human exist??! He must be exterminated or he would bring more chaos to the three realms,” said the Immortal Empress.

The Immortal Emperor decreed, “Record this Zhen’s words… No human or devil with the name of Jin Baihua would be allowed to ascend to the Upper Realm. He would be forbidden to reach Godhood even as a devil!”

The ministers in the throne room saluted and said, “As you command, your majesty the Emperor!!”

“Next orders… Recalled the royal guards and soldiers. Keep half to protect the Heavenly Domain. Now that the barrier is broken, the Devil King would definitely force his way into our kingdom. Defend at all cause!”

“Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!!!”

“The other half shall follow this Empress. This Empress will personally lead a group to help the mortal realm defend their land.”

“Honey, you can’t do that. The Mortal Realm wouldn’t be able to hold on if there are too many immortals fighting. Xiao Jing and Xiao Jie are already there.” said the Immortal Emperor.

The worried Immortal Empress said, “But would just the two of them be enough? My baby had just recently gotten better from the backlash of being in Purgatory for too long and that disciple of yours… Isn’t his powers as God been sealed for too long? Can he even control it?”

“Imperial Mother please don’t worry. Ye Xiajie is capable of controlling his power. I had sparred with him once and his capabilities didn’t even diminish and instead increased. He is even stronger than he is before. When we fought in the void once I could feel he was holding back a lot and his cultivation… His cultivation seems to have greatly increased as well. Imperial Father… Your disciple’s strength might be as much as yours already.” Hei Wan said.

The First King had just stated something that had left everyone in utter silence. What does it mean to possess the Immortal Emperor’s level of power? It implies that the God of Judgment has at least begun to cultivate a True God. If he can overthrow the present Immortal Emperor, he may be able to rebel if he so chooses and become the new Immortal Emperor.

Gulps~

The Immortal Emperor had hidden delight flashing within those argent eyes and said, “Can I just pass the throne to him D let Xiao Jie and Xiao Jing sit on the throne? After all, A’Wan also doesn’t like it… So should I…”

“NO, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT!”

The Immortal Empress, Hei Wan, and Bai Hua were the ones who yelled. They flatly rejected the Immortal Emperor’s scheme to hand Ye Xiajie the throne.

The Immortal Empress said, “If your disciple takes the throne that means my baby has to work as an Empress! Don’t you know how trying it is to be an Immortal Empress!”

“Imperial Father, please stop joking around. If you don’t want your throne just give it to me. Xiao Jing now has children he wouldn’t have time to care for the royal court.” Hei Wan said.

Bai Hua said, “If the Imperial Father is tired. I and A’Wan can take over. Please don’t give work to Xiao Jing. He wouldn’t do anything if he didn’t want to do it. There wouldn’t be any progress in the court if he sat on either of the thrones.”

Sigh~

“Okay. I understand. Don’t worry this old man is still kicking you two. You don’t need to assume the throne yet. We will give it to you when we choose to ascend to the higher realm,” said the Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor abandoned his plan to hand the crown over to his disciple after hearing that his wife and sons had rejected him. His son is ready to take on the role of the next Emperor even though he doesn’t desire the throne to save their youngest from being burdened with royal duties. It would also need him to force his youngest to become an Empress if he really does offer his crown to the disciple who appears to be the most qualified. After all, the two were Dao Companions. The other had no option but to take the role of queen if one were to become king
