Chapter 738: 14.14 Last Violet Star – Luan City
Hei Anjing teleported to the nearest town. As soon as they arrived at the inn, he felt that his head was about to split and Zhi Yue had no other choice but to place his lord on the bed with a creased forehead and covered in sweat in his half-asleep state. He is currently dreaming of something he had forgotten in the past.
The dreamscape in his dreams.
Hei Anjing woke up in a white space with more than thousands of mirrors scattered in the area. Each mirror shows a memory that he owns. He glanced at some memories that did not involve the current world and looked sullen. There are too many mirrors but he had to find the ones that involve the current world.
Walking around for a few hours, Hei Anjing finally found one among the thousands. The current mirror before him shows a younger version of himself surrounded by scrolls and books. There was no Zhi Yue or Zhi Yang in this memory. He watches the young man with his features focusing on something within those scrolls.
The content of those scrolls was all about the night hunts his current sect had recorded. At this moment, the younger version of Hei Anjing was wearing a blue robe with a white wave pattern.
Hei Anjing muttered as he watched himself, “Blue robes? Waves pattern? What sect is this?”
He could only see the things his younger self is looking at. There are tons of opened scrolls on the table before him and even on the floor surrounding him. Then he listens as he mumbles on his own.
.....
“Within the human realm, the Devil Race wore human skin. But it wasn’t easy to differentiate them from humans as they could control the world qi, death qi, and darkness elemental qi. Death qi is gray energy controlled by the devil race. It was used to control humans by pulling whatever they desired the most in their hearts. Tempting them to do bad things in exchange.”
“The humans imprinted with death qi had a cursed mark on their bodies. It would slowly spread on their bodies, tainting their vessels and their souls until they became a devil themselves.”
“There is no other way to save a tainted human. To save its soul, the only way is to kill it before the soul is completely consumed. The cursed mark that appeared on their bodies was in the shape of red spider lilies. It looks beautiful yet deadly.”
“High-leveled devils had more spider lilies on their bodies. The more spider lilies can be seen the more powerful they are. These flowers were created from the blood of the cursed one. And it appears on their bodies with the same color of blood. The darker the shade of red is, the more they have fallen to the evil side.”
“In rare cases, there are humans who survive the curse but... It leaves a permanent mark on their bodies. Their eyes turn...”
Before the younger version of him completely read what was written on the scroll, a young man wearing the same clothes as he had appeared in the room.
The young man said, “Big brother, stop working anymore. It’s time for lunch. We still need to attend the alliance exchange studies for disciples.”
“Hm. Did Father say where are we going this time?” asked Hei Anjing’s younger self.
The young man in a blue robe responded, “Dad says we are going to West City this time.”
“West City? The (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect? Not bad~ that annoying man was reborn there~” mumbled the younger version of Hei Anjing. The corner of his thin yet cerise lips was curled up in a sneer. He was thinking about the man who descended into the mortal realm with him.
“Huh? Did you say something, Big Brother?” asked the young man in blue robes.
The young Hei Anjing said, “Nothing much. I just remembered that their uniform is all white like those in funeral clothes. Can we wear a different uniform there?”Please visit ｆ𝗿𝗲𝒆we𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝚎𝒍. 𝒄o𝚖
“That... I don’t know big brother. Anyway, hurry up and get up. It’s time to eat. And look at your room, it’s so messy!”
“No worries. One spell can return everything to its normal state. Let’s go. Eat together?”
“Move fast brother. Sisters together with Father and Dad are all waiting for you!”
“Hai. Hai. I’m coming over.” said the young Hei Anjing as he brought out a talisman and activated it.
Under his white aura, the cleansing talisman had activated and everything inside the room was cleaned to its normal state. Only the scroll he was reading just now was left behind which he left on his table to continue reading again after he finished eating. Then he followed the young man who called him big brother out of the room and headed to the dining room.
But Hei Anjing in his dream form was like a floating soul. He chose not to follow his younger version of himself and instead floated on the open scroll to continue reading. His mission is to eliminate the devil race and so he needs information about them. Though the scroll only shows symptoms of the victims, if the victims exist then so are the suspects. In the mortal realm, the devil race is not much different than a parasite. They live in someone’s body waiting for their prey to get weaker and finally take over their bodies.

When Hei Anjing woke up it was already evening the next day. Zhi Yue was napping on the side table leaning his head on his fist. His head was swaying right to left and left to right. Obviously, I planned not to sleep but ended up sleeping.
He slowly got up from the wooden bed with a thick and soft futon that cannot be found in this world. Obviously, everything in this room was renovated to make Hei Anjing’s life comfortable and everything was done by his subordinate, Zhi Yue.
Hei Anjing moved slowly to sit on the bed and found that Zhi Ye even laid down a carpet in the whole room.
“Yue. Yue?” calls Hei Anjing but the latter seems to have fallen into a deep sleep.
(_o_) z Z Z Z ~
Sigh~
“Forget it. Let him sleep for a bit longer,” murmured Hei Anjing as he waved his hands and controlled his qi to carry Zhi Yue to the side room and placed him on the bed properly.
Then he went to the tearoom and made some hot milk tea for himself. Before he descended to the land of mortals, his elder brother and brother-in-law had given him a lot of things. Herbs, spiritual food, weapons, etc. After them, his mother and father also gave him a lot of gold which can be used in the mortal realm. Now he can be considered the richest man in the mortal realm.
The tea room is adjacent to his room and only a wooden folded wall hides his bed from anyone who would enter the room. The table Hei Anjing had taken a seat on was located near the open window. He can see the empty streets and dimmed lighted lanterns on the road. The moon above the sky looks so big and scenic. The whole world is so quiet that only the sound of wind can be heard.
While watching the scenery outside the window, Hei Anjing’s face remained expressionless. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to smile or show any emotions. It’s just that he recently lost those feelings and couldn’t understand how to express them anymore.
When he opened his eyes to this world, he had forgotten a lot of things. Then he recalled what he saw in his dream. More than a thousand mirrors hold more than thousands of worlds and memories.
Hei Anjing mumbled, “If all those mirrors held a part of my memories in all these years. Then I must be an immortal not from this world but from somewhere else but... Why do I feel that I need to stay here in this mortal realm? What is it that I’m looking for?”
The thin veil he was wearing was slightly lifted every time he sipped his tea. He couldn’t remove it until his vessel completely synchronized with this lower realm. After all, even his Godly physique was sealed and half of his strength was also restrained by the heavenly laws. At most he could only use the Ascension Stage of cultivation at its peak. Any more than that and he would be forced by the world to ascend back to the mortal realm and resume his identity as a God.
“Forget it. I will just try to find more memories connected to this world and understand whatever is making me come to this realm. Anyway I have all the time in the world,” mumbled Hei Anjing as he passed his time enjoying the view of the moon tonight.

Meanwhile, the news about the southern countryside town being besieged by more than hundreds of fierce corpses had reached the ears of the other Sects, especially the 5 big Sects.
The Five Great Sects:
(North): Bai Lengshui Sect (White Frozen Water Sect)
(East): Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect)
(West): Lan Zhuayun Sect (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect)
(South): Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect)
(Central): Hou Long Sect (Red Dragon Sect)
These were the five greatest sects that the mortal realm has. Most of the leaders of each Sect possess the strength of the Golden Core Stage at least. Each great sect protects one direction of the mortal lands. This is to prevent the Infernal Realm from attacking their land.
The largest and wealthiest sect among the five is found in the east. The Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect). The one in lead in this sect was a clan with the surname of Jin. Du Sang was someone from this clan but he and his mother were exiled by the former Sect Leader after learning he was a cut-sleeves (homosexual).
After all, among all the great clans, the Jin Tiangui Sect (Gold Heavenly Turtle Sect) had been Sect rules that only those with the bloodline of Jin could lead the Sect. Du Sang already lost this opportunity when his family was kicked out of the clan.

Right this moment, Hei Anjing and Zhi Yue were in the Southern land, Luan City. In this place, the great sect that took over the governance is the Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect) which is led by the Lu Brothers from the Lu Family.
The Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect) practices cultivation with sabers as weapons. A saber is a larger type of sword that needs two hands to wield. So most disciples from this sect had thicker muscles than other cultivators. They lean more on enhancing their strength each time they wave their weapons.
The Lu Clan is led by two brothers. The elder Lu is called Lu Yi and the younger Lu is called Lu Er. Their courtesy names were Lu Wang and Lu Tian. Their courtesy names seem to be grander than their birth names.
Lu Yi was born with special talents in cultivation and fighting. He is now the second commander in their Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect). As for why his younger brother, Lu Er, had become the Sect Leader instead of him because Lu Er is born smarter but weaker than Lu Yi. On the other hand, Lu Yi was born with the talent of cultivation instead of intelligence. The brothers are in contrast to each other and complement as well. Once they work together it can be considered a perfect result for the Sect and the City.
At this moment, the brothers received the news about the descent of someone from the Immortal Realm and the calamity that almost affected their city from the countryside borderlands.
Lu Yi, wearing dark green robes with yellow leaf patterns, wore his clothes loosely and showed his chiseled chest with hard muscles. He was swinging his saber in practice and as exercise. While Lu Er on the other hand was working on their Sect’s paperwork and recent reports.
“Hm? Dage please come over for a moment. A report says that an immortal had descended on our realm and a large group of the undead attacked one of our border villages. Thankfully, Chun Hongyun-Jun had come because their sect disciples were there at that time,” said Lu Er.
Lu Yi responded, “Don’t worry. I will send a few disciples to that village to check. But it seems Chun Hongyun-Jun would be coming over to this city. Shall we make preparations for it?”
“Leave it to me, dage. But I’m worried about our ancestral mound. Something weird is happening there,” replied Lu Er.
Lu Yi said, “I’ll check that place myself. Just prepare to welcome Chun Hongyun-Jun’s arrival.”
“Okay. Make the best preparations to welcome him,” said Lu Er.
