Chapter 283 – Show No Mercy To Any Troublemakers.
"Are you sure this is where you last felt that energy?" An older man was oozing out his dangerous vibe as he shot the younger man behind him a look.
The younger man bowed his head lower before giving an affirmative grunt, "I was passing through this land with my other junior brothers when we sensed it. You can ask Brother Xie if he could confirm my words."
The old man only nodded in satisfaction, not intending to return and go through all the trouble of going back just to ask Lu Yan's Sect Brother Xie if he was telling the truth.
Standing atop the hill, the old man looked over the vast land of Zheng Empire and frowned. With his excellent eyesight, he could see the people inside the gate walking to and fro with a friendly smile as they tried to interact with the other people beside them. With such a peaceful scene, the old man wickedly smirked as he thought of how he could make all those peacefulness into terror and fear.
Seeing his master smiling sinisterly, the younger man also looked forward.
He and his junior brothers were flying across the sky with the clouds under their feet when some dark energy started to seep out of nowhere. At first, Lu Yan wasn't sure of it but seeing that Brother Xie also sensed and didn't speak for a while, Lu Yan became sure of it. They soon located where it was coming from, but when they arrived there, it disappeared, and they were unable to pinpoint where exactly it was coming from.
That dark aura… Who and what could produce such sickening and pure dark energy?
Lu Yan turned to his master and asked casually, "Master, do you have any idea who owned that energy we felt that night?"
The old man was silent for a moment before shaking his head as he said, "I have no idea."
Still looking at the picturesque scenery before him, the old man continued to say, "However, I only know that if what you said about that energy being too powerful really turned out to be true, we have to make haste and tie that person to our side or else others will surely come and steal 'it' from us."
Since the old man wasn't there when they felt and sensed that energy, like Lu Yan, he also doesn't know whether this energy belonged to a human or an artifact left by some powerful figure. But whether it came from a human or an artifact didn't matter. The Demonic Sect must possess this energy and add to their strength.
The Demonic Sect was slightly suppressed by all other Sects because they couldn't bring out any satisfying result to stay at the top ten sects in the Heavenly Realm. Although the Demonic Sect was once standing on the fifth spot of the strongest sect in the Heavenly Realm, because they failed in getting promising talents and leveling their spiritual energy higher than others, they declined and now hanged on the top ten seat.
In any case, if they obtained this energy and added it to their strength, there was no doubt that Demonic Sect will surely go back to its previous glory and stand amongst other top sects.
After thinking of this hopeless dream, the old man, Jiang Ruan, felt great, used his spiritual energy on his feet, leaped to the sky, and flew to the Zheng Empire's gate without the guards' notice.
The two of them walked side by side, their exquisite robes swayed as they moved, and several eyes couldn't help but look in their direction.
…
Inside the Qu residence.
After a tiring bed activity session, Lin Xiaofei could no longer stay awake and fell asleep in the arms of Qu Xing Xu. Her ink-black hair framed her cheeks and was draped across the bed as she laid on her side with her hand on the waist of the man sleeping beside her.
Suddenly, the handsome sleeping man beside her abruptly opened his eyes; a dangerous glint was flashing in it. Because Lin Xiaofei was already deep in her sleep, she didn't see that Qu Xing Xu's eyes turned red golden for a second before turning black as if the change was never there.
The dangerous glint in it also disappeared as his gaze fell on the deeply asleep figure of Lin Xiaofei. A warm and gentle look replaced as he reaches out his hand and caresses her cheeks and eyes, wiping the unshed tears in her eyes and sweat on her cheeks.
'Gu Yan.' Qu Xing Xu inwardly called out, knowing that his shadow would send out his words to his servant.
Lin Xiaofei lightly stirred as she dragged her naked body closer to Qu Xing Xu and hugged his waist before moaning in satisfaction as if she finally found a good source of heat.
Qu Xing chuckled at her childish attempt and put his arm over her waist too.
'Master…'
Qu Xing Xu's fingers paused as he heard Gu Yan's vice entering his mind. He said in his mind, "See if there are any intruders who entered the Zheng Empire.'
'Should I approach them if I find them?'
'No… Just find out what they have come here for.'
After not getting any reply from Gu Yan, Qu Xing Xu cut off their communication. Just now, he felt two energies that didn't belong to anyone from the Zheng Empire or any other people from other empires. Their energies were too oppressive for them to belong to an ordinary person, and thus, Qu Xing Xu wanted to check them out and find out their purpose in coming to this land.
He felt that those two energies he sensed… it was too bright and strong compared to an ordinary person's light energies.
Qu Xing Xu wasn't too sure whether they came to the Zheng Empire to sightsee only or whether they seek trouble by coming here.
It was okay if it was the former. This kind of people could freely come to sightsee without him interfering like in the past years when countless people like those two people who owned that energies came.
But if it were the latter…
Sorry, but he shows no mercy to any troublemakers.
