Chapter 1648: Private Talk
The battle between Gods ended with the Ziling Sect’s victory. The three attacking organizations had lost a total of three Gods, including the Jing Sect’s previous sect master, Wu You. When the news spread, a subtle mood enshrouded the entire Western Desert. Everyone had a sensation that this was the calm before the storm.
One ought to know that the three organizations could definitely put more into their war effort. However, the mere fact that they had failed to defeat the Ziling Sect even when working together proved that the Ziling Sect was no ordinary tier-8 organization. Perhaps they were strong enough to advance and become a tier-9 organization.
Xiang Shaoyun’s group only noticed that something had happened after returning to the sect. They were given quite a scare when they saw that the sect was completely empty. Fortunately, Xiang Yangzhan and the others had appeared immediately, preventing him from losing his mind.
“Father, what happened? Did the Di Clan come again?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.
“Yes, the Di Clan did participate, but the main enemies are our old opponents. They have discovered our existence,” answered Purple Lightning Marquis on Xiang Yangzhan’s behalf.
“So, they finally found out about our existence?” muttered Xiang Shaoyun with a sharp glint in his eyes.
“That’s right. They had come twice so far and had sent several Rebirth Realm fellows over to create trouble,” said Scarlet Flame Monarch.
Xiang Yangzhan said, “Without your little sister, Little Mu Mu, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have an old man to return to.”
“Little Mu Mu?” Xiang Shaoyun muttered doubtfully before glancing at the young woman clad in a black hood.
Ye Chaomu pulled her hood off, revealing a peerlessly enchanting face. She pounced on Xiang Shaoyun, “Big brother!”
Her voice traveled through the space between them, slamming straight into Xiang Shaoyun’s heart.
“Little Mu Mu, you’re back!” Xiang Shaoyun was overjoyed.
Right before everyone’s eyes, Ye Chaomu jumped into Xiang Shaoyun’s arms and replied with a satisfied expression, “Yes, I’m back.”
Nobody knew the hidden meaning behind their exchange. That was a secret only they knew. Ye Chaomu was a princess of the Undying Devil Clan, and she had even entered the Devil Domain’s seventh layer. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun was very surprised to see her here.
“It has been a while since you two met, right? Let’s go in and catch up,” said Xiang Yangzhan.
He had yet to discover that the two’s relationship had grown into something more than siblings. Everyone entered the sect, with Xiang Shaoyun bringing Devouring Ghost straight into the main hall to get updated on what had happened during his absence. Naturally, Purple Lightning Marquis told him everything. After listening to the full story, Xiang Shaoyun’s expression turned ugly.
“With new and old hatreds adding together, it’s time we put an end to this,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a sinister look on his face.
“Boss, do not be rash. They have some ancient farts among their ranks. At the very least, you need to enter the Rebirth Realm before thinking of revenge,” advised Scarlet Flame Monarch.
“Um. Don’t worry. I know what I should do,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.
Xiang Yangzhan said, “Since the sect is already exposed and we have already fully offended them, we need to take some precautions. Otherwise, the sect will probably be destroyed in their next attack.”
“Father, let all the sect members return,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“What? Do you want them all to throw away their lives?” exclaimed Xiang Yangzhan in alarm.
“If we continue sheltering them, how can they grow strong enough to protect the sect? Only by letting them experience the crisis with the sect will the sect be able to grow stronger and the members more united,” said Xiang Shaoyun solemnly.
Everyone sank into thought. Clearly, they found his words agreeable. The Holy Hall master said, “Shaoyun is right. If they are all hidden away at the sign of danger, they will only grow into cowards.”
“Ok. I agree, but we must strengthen our defenses,” said Xiang Yangzhan.
“They will think us weak if we focus only on defending. Wait until I break through into the Rebirth Realm. I’ll lead a group of people to pay them a visit and have a nice chat with them,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a reckless look on his face.
After a short discussion, everyone left. Xiang Shaoyun and Ye Chaomu finally gained some private time.
Xiang Shaoyun wrapped his arm around her and asked, “How did you leave the Devil Domain? Did your clan members actually allow you to leave?”
“If I was still weak, they naturally wouldn’t let me leave. Now that I’m a Devil God, it is only natural that they can no longer control me,” said Ye Chaomu as she nestled her head against Xiang Shaoyun’s shoulder.
“What is your future plan?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.
“We’ll worry about that in the future,” said Ye Chaomu, clearly unwilling to talk about the topic. “Big brother, my master wishes to see you.”
“Your master?” Xiang Shaoyun appeared doubtful.
“Master Wu Xie!” said Ye Chaomu with a smile. “I remember that my master wanted to accept both of us as disciples when we were young. To be precise, he wanted you as a disciple the most. However, you had rejected his good intentions. He is known as the Western Desert’s number one expert. Even Father treats him with respect. You had truly humiliated Master when you had rejected him back then.”
Xiang Shaoyun laughed dryly and said, “You mean the man that looks like a woman? I’m definitely not interested in having him as my master.”
“You can’t say that about Master! He’s very strong!” said Ye Chaomu.
“Did he tell you why he was looking for me?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.
Ye Chaomu shook her head and said, “I don’t know. However, he had long known about my identity as an undying devil. Even so, he still treated me well. Thus, he won’t do anything to you.”
“I see. Well, I am quite curious about the Peach Blossom Island’s master as well,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“Big brother, now that we’re done talking business, shouldn’t we have some private talk?” said Ye Chaomu as she hugged Xiang Shaoyun’s arm with her face flushed red.
“What private thing do you want to talk about?” asked Xiang Shaoyun in confusion.
Ye Chaomu replied with action. She jumped and planted her lips against Xiang Shaoyun’s lips while her arms wrapped around his neck like a pair of snakes. Her entire person seemed to be hanging off him.
Xiang Shaoyun immediately understood what she meant. It had been quite a while since he last touched a woman. Furthermore, he had missed Ye Chaomu as badly as he had been missing Tuoba Wan’er. Thus, he was like a volcano that erupted at the tiniest provocation.
“Big brother, pamper me!” Ye Chaomu crooned.
