n893 14.169 Last Violet Star – Seven Deadly Sins

nLu er woke up. He just took a nap at his elder brother’s request. Who would have expected that everything would change the next time he opened his eyes? He is no longer inside the Sect, that small place that protected yet imprisoned them. He is now outside overlooking the space that he used to not care about at all.

nHe inquired as to the whereabouts of his elder brother but received only silence in response. Even though his knees were trembling like a newborn baby quail, he forced his frail body to get up as his face grew more whiter than before.

nLu Yier said, “LITTLE MASTER!”

n“Sect Master, please calm down!”

n“You are not well yet and you’ve just woken up from qi derivation.”

n“You’ve been asleep for quite a long time.”

nGroans~

nLu Er got up weakly halfway after discovering that his older brother wasn’t around, choosing to ignore the soreness and numbness in his body. Lu Yier, his little disciple, grasped him to stop the force of his rapid fall.

nLu Yier said worriedly, “Little Master, Be careful!”

n…..

n“Help me sit up. Give me some. Water and Qi Replenishing Pill!” commanded Lu Er.

nDespite having nearly no qi in his body, the terrified little disciple was forced to help his little master sit up while giving whatever his little master requested. In front of everyone, Lu Er began to meditate.

nLu Yier asked the elders, “Elders what should we do? If the Little Master wants to turn back, are we going to?”

nElder Shing caught their attention since, next to the Sect Master, he held the most power. They are prepared to carry out his instructions. If the Sect Master wanted to depart, they could only accompany him even if they were aware that some of their relatives who had been left behind had long since been devoured and were simply seeking death to return there.

nA serious expression appeared on Elder Shing’s face. He made a promise with his friends and the Great Elder to bring the Sect Master out of the southern territory. Keeping him alive and safe.

nElder Shing spoke, “Put him back to sleep and bring him back. I made a promise with the Great Elder to keep him alive.” There’s a look of determination and seriousness imprinted on his face.

nThis choice had been accepted by all parties. Many have been sacrificed only so they may survive. At this stage, selfishness would be deemed irresponsible. Lu Er spent a whole night in meditation.

nHe is no longer as sluggish as when he initially woke up by the time dawn comes. He was expected to open his eyes to everyone. What the others didn’t anticipate was that their Sect Master would utter a few words as soon as his eyes opened, rendering them unable to respond to his statements.

nLu Er declared, “Starting to today Lu Weifeng Sect will no longer exist and be disbanded. As the last descendant of the Lu Clan, I announced that the Sect is no more. You guys are free to do whatever you want and I am allowed to do whatever I want. Any promise made at this point can no longer be fulfilled. I’m coming back to the South. Anyone who dares to stop me at this point would have to die under my blade.”

n“What!?”

n“Sect Master! You cannot do that! Why would you disband the Sect just like this!?”????e??????????o??el. c??? 𝒷𝒹𝓸𝓿𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶

n“How about your disciple, Yier, are you going to abandon him too?”

nLu Er responded, “If I can come back from the South this time, I will give him the remaining life I have in this world. If not then… Yier, Little Master can only apologize.”

n“Little Master, Master wouldn’t want you to do this! Please… Please just leave with me,” said Lu Yier.

nElder Shing says, “Go back to the south alone? Please stop they… they can no longer be saved. The moment you woke up everything had already ended, Second Lord Lu.”

nLu Er was confused at first, he didn’t understand why Elder Shing said such a thing. Upon seeing his expression Elder Shing knew that the Sect Master didn’t understand what his words meant and had to explain things to him.

nElder Shing spoke, “Second Lord Lu, do you really think you are too tired to keep yourself awake for a few days? We had been on the road for at least three days even if you were Qi Deprived one would wake up in just a night. The reason you were sleeping for three days straight had something to do with Eldest Lord Lu.”

n“He had utilized his qi to make sure you would be asleep all the way through our journey. The Qi of the Eldest Lord Lu on you is connected to his life essence. Since you suddenly woke up it means that the Eldest Lord Lu is… is no longer around.”

n“Second Lord Lu. Please don’t be willful. The Eldest Lord and a few elders had sacrificed themselves to keep us alive. Going back there at this point is just plain suicidal. Please understand that our lives were extended thanks to the sacrifice of the people who love us. I’m sorry for the rudeness but this old man would bring the Second Lord to the West Territories no matter what the consequences are.”

nLu Er had almost lost his mind when he learned that his elder brother had used a qi created of his life essence to put him to sleep, but Elder Shing had explained everything to him. Another reason Lu Er and a few of the elders were still alive was that Lu Yi and his people made the decision to face the herds of demonic creatures in order for them to get out from the encirclement.

nHe was completely upset when he learned from Elder Shing that the instant he woke up, his older brother would have died unexpectedly. He was very saddened and repentant. Lu Er hadn’t realized that he was crying since the sorrow in his heart was so intense for him to notice his tears.

nLu Er mumbled like a broken doll, “Life essence? Big Brother’s life essence put me to sleep. I woke up. Doesn’t this mean my brother is… no longer here anymore?” His tears continuously stroll down his face as his hand was trembling from the great shock he suffered from.

nSeeing the sole pillar of their group breaks down like this, Lu Yier and the other elders could almost no longer stop themselves from crying the same way. The restraint on the emotions of the child-like Lu Yier also broke down when he saw his Little Master cry like this. When he initially learned that his Master had passed away, he was unfazed. He is still fine since he has his Little Master.

nBut he started to lose it when he saw that even his Little Master was in this state. This is due to the fact that both he and his small master had lost the most important person in their lives.

n—

nOutside the gates of the Western City…

nA massive barrier, like the one separating the Mortal Realm from the Infernal Region, encircled the West Territories. It was entirely impervious to all non-human beings and had the death or resentment qi that only devils could control are unable to enter this barrier. It also prohibited the entrance of miasmatic demon creatures.

nThe City itself is surrounded by yet another barrier. It eliminated people who wanted to cause harm to Chun Hongyun-Jun. After all, everyone was already aware of his ancestry—he was related to the King of Demons by blood. The barrier around the city would kill anyone attempting to harm him.

nOnly those who have a pass from the Lan Zhuayun Sect are able to reach the mountain ranges underneath the Sect’s main territory. There is another barrier around the Sect, but it keeps out the majority of people. Because cultivators of the Yun Clan and the Lan Zhuayun Sect dwell in this territory. Without permission from those who reside there, mortals are not permitted to enter this location.

nA few elders and disciples from the Lan Zhuayun Sect were standing by and guarding the Teleportation Array that had been constructed just outside the gates at this very time. Before they could enter the city, it was their duty to gather the survivors’ information and control the crowd.

nThe Teleport Circle had suddenly glowed which caught everyone’s attention.

n“The Array is activating. But how come it was too small?”

n“Prepare to welcome the survivors. Make sure to record their name before letting them inside the city.”

n“Yes, elders!” responded the disciples who were given the task to record names.

nPeople started to arrive in the area’s center as soon as the teleportation array’s glow started to dim. As they realized who it was, the people waiting were in a state of shock. Together with Sect Master Jin Shiyan, who was carrying his wife, Bai Lili, were Lord Bai Yuyan and Madam Bai. When the seniors showed up like this with only Sect Master Jin and his wife, the elders suspected something had happened.

nBai Yuyan didn’t even explain the details but still spoke out to one of the elders and said, “The survivors are about to come over. Do handle them well. There’s an emergency. We are going back to the Sect for now.”

n“Please go ahead, Seniors!”

nBai Yuyan and Xue Wuyue were honored by all the elders and disciples present. Who wasn’t aware that these two were the parents of Sect Master Bai Qiyin, who is practically their Sect Master Yun Huaxia’s Dao Companion? Their status is comparable to that of the Lan Zhuayun Sect’s elders of the Inner Core Region.

nMadam Bai said to her son-in-law, “Shiyan, hold on to us. We are going to directly teleport to the Crimson Cloud Peak to meet An’er.”

n“Yes, Mother Bai,” answered Jin Shiyan.

nBai Yuyan and Xue Wuyue grabbed each of his shoulders and used teleportation to directly appear in Crimson Cloud Peak where Hei Anjing and Xie Jieye’s family live. They wanted Hei Anjing to save Bai Lili who is affected by Death Qi from the inside of her body.

nBai Yuyan and the other three suddenly materialized before Hei Anjing and his spouse, Xia Jieye, as they were watching their children play with the disciples of their peak.

n“Aunt, Uncle. Also Shiyan and Lili…” Hei Anjing immediately noticed something was wrong with his younger sister and his smile faded almost instantly. “This is… Death Qi?”

n“Please get inside the house first. I will handle the children. Go ahead and treat her first, Jing’er.” Xia Jieye said.

nNods~

n“Shiyan, follow me inside,” said Hei Anjing.

nJin Shiyan responded, “Yes, Brother Wuan.”

nHei Anjing gestures for Jin Shiyan to bring Bai Lili inside the home while nodding his head toward his elders. Bai Yuyan and Xue Wuyue waited outside with Xia Jieye and the children in order to prevent the interior from becoming overcrowded.

nAs he hadn’t seen his older brother Yun Huaxia returning with them, Xia Jieye went up to the seniors and inquired as to what had transpired. The two were totally upfront and informed Xia Jieye of what took place in the Jin Tiangui Sect as well as what they had learned from Jin Shiyan.

nChun Hongyun-Jun spoke, “If Jin Baihua had indeed turned into a devil, it means he had been successfully converted into one. His strength would be directly proportional to the strength of his devil. According to the appearance of the devil who told me I think I knew who that devil was beside him.”

n“The Devil that rules Wrath. One of the Seven Deadly Sins. Devil Fennu.”

nBai Yuyan asked, “What are the Seven Deadly Sins?”

n“The Seven Sins are High ranked Devils that lord over the Infernal Region. Their authority is only under the King of Devils and their existence was made directly with the soul wisps of the Devil King. There are the seven strongest high-ranking devils that live in the Infernal Region and their strengths were all at least above the Soul Formation Stage and even stronger. They are also the commanders that lead herds of Demonic Creatures,” explained Xia Jieye.
