Chapter 262: Chapter 261 The Emperor is Destined with Her

Now that was an unexpected turn of events, Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway and snatched away Xie Jiuniang.

The Demon Emperor was aware of it.

Not long ago, the Demon Emperor made an appearance outside the Longyuan Abyss.

All the Great Sects sought his help.

With the power of one, the Demon Emperor held off numerous Divinity Transformation cultivators, and even assisted them in dealing with several Nascent Souls, of course, not without asking for a hefty reward. Later on, they noticed he only paid attention to them and made no further moves.

At this point, everyone remembered this was the Central Region.

The territory of the Demon Tribe.

The strong members of the Demon Tribe were many, and although typically disconnected like sand, that was a thing of the past.

Provoking the Demon Tribe with a Demon Emperor, even less so.

A tribe dominating an entire region was not something any Sect could achieve; for example, the area controlled by Tianxu Sect was merely a part of the Eastern Region, not even close to an entire region.

Xie Jiuniang’s heart trembled as she contacted Jian Lingyan, "Come out and tell me, why am I about to be doomed? When did I ever provoke such a powerful figure?"

"Hehe," Jian Lingyan laughed with a milk-suckling baby’s voice, very demonically.

Xie Jiuniang was speechless, "Can you not speak properly?"

Jian Lingyan imitated her former behavior, playing dead, not uttering a word.

Lord Ziyang and Lord Guangcheng still wanted to say something, but the Demon Emperor seemed impatient, "Enough, I am fated with her. I won’t harm her, your concerns are unnecessary."

Now the two of them were speechless.

Just as Xie Jiuniang was immobile, she felt a large hand press on the top of her head, instantly raising goosebumps all over her body. Everyone knows that a person’s head is tantamount to their lifeblood; it’s not something just anyone can touch indiscriminately.

Especially for cultivators.

Everyone else believed Xie Jiuniang’s situation was more dangerous than lucky.

Then, that slender hand merely gently ruffled her bird’s nest hair. Yes, earlier her hair had been struck by a strike of Thunder Tribulation, turning into a bird’s nest, not exactly good-looking.

A small action by the Demon Emperor.

Just like an elder’s doting on a junior.

The unexpectedly friendly attitude was, however, easy to misconstrue.

Xie Jiuniang finally got a chance to lift her head and look at the face of the Demon Emperor; by coincidence, he was slightly looking down, his gaze meeting with Xie Jiuniang’s.

What kind of eyes were those?

Cool like ice and snow, without any warmth.

It was as if nothing in the world could enter these eyes, as if all things under the heavens were insignificant in their owner’s heart.

With such eyes, one would subconsciously overlook his bewitching looks, incomparably handsome. Perhaps in the entire Cultivation World, very few would dare to look him in the eye directly.

Those who dared to offend him were turned into nothing but ashes.

The Demon Emperor let Xie Jiuniang scrutinize him.

Seeing that he did not mind, Xie Jiuniang immediately got cheeky, "Senior, you believe we are fated? What a coincidence, I think so too."

The Demon Emperor, "..."

The other onlookers were silent.

Were they too old? They couldn’t keep up with the younger generation’s logic.

Xie Jiuniang was again being overly familiar, "Seeing you is like seeing a family elder, very affectionate. Dear senior Demon Emperor, from now on please take me under your wings, let me walk sideways in the Central Region."

"Take under your wings?"

Suddenly, the Demon Emperor found this Human child quite amusing, no less interesting than those he had met before in the Tianshui Secret Realm.

Xie Jiuniang’s mouth started to babble again, "Don’t you understand what taking under your wings means? It means becoming my backer. Oh dear, I don’t know why, but there are always bad people who want to kill me even though I have never seen them. It’s as if I have desecrated their ancestors’ graves."

"Heh, that can be arranged."

The Demon Emperor was in a rare good mood.

The people present gasped in shock.

The Divinity Transformation cultivators from the aristocratic families clenched their hearts.

A Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Su Family was extremely frustrated and just as he was about to say something, he inadvertently caught the icy gaze of the Demon Emperor, disdainful of all life. Without needing to see his next action, the Divinity Transformation cultivators from the aristocratic families unanimously decided...

To flee!

The Demon Emperor commanded, "Pursue and kill!"

After that, he added another sentence, "Break out of the Central Region."

"Yes!"

"At your command!"

A number of responses came from the void.

Subsequently, several spaces fluctuated, indicating that the capable beings of the Demon Tribe hidden there had gone to pursue and kill the Divinity Transformation members of the aristocratic family.

Those remaining were secretly shocked, looking towards Xie Jiuniang with even more awe.

This kid, truly untouchable.

The united effort of five Divinity Transformations failed to take her down, a feat that could be recorded in the millennia of the Cultivation World’s history.

After today, who would dare to provoke her?

Frightened, some onlookers who did not want to invite trouble quietly left.

Only three were left.

Ziyang and Guangcheng, and Xiaoyuan.

The first two, out of respect for Xie Jiuniang being a disciple of their own Sect, could not just abandon her and leave, while Xiaoyuan, having been in league with the other two earlier, wouldn’t give up halfway either.

If they chose to leave at this moment, all their prior actions would have been in vain.

The situation suddenly changed.

A moment ago, Xie Jiuniang was about to be at everyone’s mercy.

This moment, she felt she was back in control!

"Ahhh, I remember now, dog owner, I remember!" Jian Lingyan spiraled into madness again.

Xie Jiuniang felt something was off about Him today and followed up on His statement, "What did you remember?"

"The Tianshui Secret Realm, the Wilderness Island Behemoth, that extremely mysterious existence, the one that followed Mo Chuan out of the Secret Realm... it turns out he was that mysterious great power!"

Jian Lingyan was flustered.

Xie Jiuniang was stunned, could it be true?

Was it that great power who could crush them with a single finger?

Just awakened, Jian Lingyan had only sensed a hint of his existence at that time, managing to remember him, and then He continued with a trembling voice, "The key is... dog owner, the Demon Emperor is a spiritual soul body!"

"Just as a soul body he is this formidable, too terrifying, too terrifying!"

"Dog owner! Wuuu."

Three consecutive sentences all expressed Jian Lingyan’s apprehension towards the Demon Emperor.

For the usually arrogant Broken Sword, it was almost impossible.

This showed how terrifying the Demon Emperor was.

Xie Jiuniang innocently said, "I didn’t provoke him, why are you acting like this, as if I have already provoked him."

"You did provoke him, you did!"

Jian Lingyan threw a tantrum, becoming illogical, "You were even hopping on his head, wuuu, we are done for, we are done..."

"Nonsense."

Xie Jiuniang simply stopped talking to the creature.

She had always been cautious, showing great respect for her elders. It was her first time meeting the Demon Emperor senior; when had she ever hopped on his head?

Pure slander!

"Hopping on my head, huh?"

With that sentence, the Demon Emperor blew up in Xie Jiuniang’s mind.

In an instant, Xie Jiuniang’s vigilance skyrocketed, her hair standing on end, "Ancestor, that’s not true, not at all! Can you... can you hear us talking?"

"That’s possible."

The Demon Emperor’s hands were wrapped around her waist.

And since he was a spiritual soul body, having cultivated a physical body from a soul state, coming into contact with another, at such close proximity, detecting the conversation between someone and their Contracted Spirit was surely simple, wasn’t it?

However, the uninformed Xie Jiuniang didn’t know this!

Oh, but now she knew...

Fear had even caused a thin layer of sweat to form on her smooth forehead.
