Chapter 972: Chapter 0972: The Secret of the First Emperor
Long Fei sneered inwardly, thinking Grandma wasn’t exactly impressive, just on par with Wang Xiaoya’s foster mother.
The Witch God Flag had not come easily. Just earlier, when he was trapped in the Array and delving into these artifacts, he had nearly been devoured alive by the Mystic Pattern.
Now, Xie Sanniang demanded it as though he owed her something.
For the sake of her being Wang Xiaoya’s mother, Long Fei refrained from arguing with her.
He responded perfunctorily, "Elder Xie, I understand you want this item for revenge against Mount Shu. But the item already bears my Spiritual Imprint, even if I gave it to you, you wouldn’t be able to use it. Since we’re all family, just give me a call when you want revenge, and I will definitely help you."
Xie Sanniang raised her eyebrows, realizing this kid wasn’t easy to handle, and hadn’t expected him to refuse so decisively.
She stared at Long Fei and scoffed, "Well said, family. It seems I need to clarify the rules of the Mystic Yin Sect to you. Our sect’s Saintess is forbidden to marry, let alone to a man who already has a wife."
Wang Xiaoya bristled at that and urgently protested to Xie Sanniang, "Mother, I already belong to Long Fei. Though we have not the name of husband and wife, we have long shared the reality. If you forbid me from marrying him, then I refuse to be the Saintess."
"Nonsense!"
Xie Sanniang scolded sharply, "Is this your place to speak? Is this how you honor your mother?"
Wang Xiaoya’s eyes swirled with tears, shocked by her mother’s tyranny.
Qin Yao, and the others were frightened, not expecting the master to scold her daughter so fiercely.
Long Fei solemnly said, "Elder Xie, I respect you as Little Ya’s mother, but don’t go too far. You abandoned her in the mundane world for twenty years, and now you remember you’re her mother? Where were you when she was hungry as a child? Where were you when she was bullied at school? Now that she’s grown up, you recognize her and still want to control her happiness and future, do you have the right?"
"What did you say?"
Xie Sanniang immediately exploded, her aura flaring so intensely that it made the dinnerware on the table tremble.
Long Fei countered sharply, "You know what I said. Little Ya is my wife, and no one can take her from me. Anyone who tries to separate us is my enemy, don’t blame me for not showing you respect."
His dragon’s might spread out, completely suppressing Xie Sanniang’s aura.
Even Uncle Gui, a formidable Daoist, felt a chill watching from the side and quickly intervened, "Enough, we’ve just escaped from death, let’s not talk about these unpleasant matters. Little Ya, pour the drinks, and let’s have a toast first."
Xie Sanniang swallowed her anger, knowing what Uncle Gui meant.
With Alchemy Cauldron Sect destroyed and only Uncle Gui remaining as an elder, he had always been her strategic adviser.
His disapproval of confrontation left Xie Sanniang with no choice but to relent.
However, the fact that Long Fei possessed the Witch God Flag was something she could not accept.
In her eyes, Long Fei was nothing more than a mediocre Body Cultivator, and him holding the Witch God Flag was a complete waste.
This artifact, after all, was not just any artifact. It was said to be made from the bones of strong warriors of the Ancient Demon Race, using their skin and flesh as the banner.
Although not as powerful as the body of a Witch God, it was a rare treasure.
It could absorb all forms of malevolent energy from the world, poison, miasma, Yin Qi, everything.
Most crucially, it could consolidate the Witch God Dharma Laksana.
One must know, only with Mystic Pattern could the Dharma Laksana be condensed.
The tadpole script on the pole, invaluable, contained secret techniques exclusive to the Demon Race.
After a silent meal, the table was cleared.
As night approached, Long Fei set up three tents in the courtyard, planning to rest there for the night before leaving the next day.
Uncle Gui didn’t stay in a tent but instead climbed a tree outside the yard and sat down, pulling out a dry tobacco pipe to smoke.
Xie Sanniang took a tent and called Wang Xiaoya inside to talk.
Qin Yao shared a tent with Yu Ping and Jiu Ge, who were both exhausted and fell asleep as soon as they entered.
Even after taking the Pill, the malevolent aura in their bodies couldn’t be fully dispelled for quite some time.
Qin Yao looked at Long Fei, wanting to say something but hesitated, then followed them into the tent to meditate.
Xu Wei knelt before Long Fei with a thump and said, "Brother Long, a great kindness doesn’t need to be thanked in words. You avenged my father and cured my uncle’s illness, bestowing immense grace upon me, Xu Wei. From now on, I’ll do anything you ask of me without hesitation."
Long Fei helped him up with a smile, "We’re all so familiar now, no need for this politeness."
Yet Xu Wei did not rise and insisted, "I know you’re incredibly powerful, like an Immortal descended to earth. Would you take me as your apprentice and let me serve by your side?"
"Was this Uncle Liuu’s idea?"
Long Fei smiled as he glanced at Liuu Wenhan.
Xu Wei touched his head and admitted, "Not only him, but I truly admire you too."
Long Fei chuckled, thinking to himself that under Xu Wei’s leadership, his Yin Yang Sect really seemed a gathering place for scoundrels like the Demon Clan and Demon Race.
The Pill that Xu Wei had consumed was likely the legendary Immortality Pill that Xu Fu sought for Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
The person in the stone coffin was none other than Emperor Qin Shi Huang himself.
The Pill was mingled with Demonic Blood, and the price of longevity was becoming a Demonizer.
Xu Wei’s Pill was of the water attribute; Long Fei guessed there was another of the fire attribute.
The empty stone coffin proved that the person inside had consumed this Pill and, after undergoing a transformation into a Demonizer, had escaped the restraint of the altar.
The reason the nine Copper Cauldrons on the altar were so heavy wasn’t their physical weight but the magnetic field from the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Formation beneath them, which firmly attracted the cauldrons.
These nine Copper Cauldrons were indeed the entrance to the Array; by positioning the cauldrons correctly, one could be transported into the Formation.
Originally, someone deliberately set up this Array specifically to trap Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
As soon as he emerged from the stone coffin, he would be instantly transported into the Divine Demonic Great Formation.
Even as a member of the Demon Race, the erosive murderous aura would still transform him into a mist of blood.
But what man proposes, heaven disposes; due to the passage of time and shifts in the earth, the Array developed flaws.
The displacement of the Array on the altar failed to contain the person inside the coffin, allowing him to escape.
Upon his departure, he left behind the words, "So that’s how it is."
Referring, of course, to the secret of immortality.
The Pill inside the box was his joke, making those who consumed it afterward, like him, turn into Demonizers, turning into beings everyone sought to kill within the Demon Race.
Considering this, had it been anyone else, they surely wouldn’t have accepted Xu Wei, this hot potato.
But Long Fei did accept him, nodding as he agreed, "Alright, I’ll take you as my apprentice."
Xu Wei’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Liuu Ruyan chuckled from the side and reminded, "Brother, aren’t you going to offer the tea of respect to your master?"
Having taken Long Fei as her master, she knew a bit about the simple protocol.
Xu Wei nodded repeatedly, ran to the kitchen to fetch tea, then came out carrying a large bowl and knelt before Long Fei, offering it respectfully and said, "Master, please drink the tea."
This bowl, bigger than a person’s head, was typically used by the People of Guanzhong for eating noodles.
Xu Wei, being sincere, had poured a full large bowl, which made Liuu Ruyan at his side burst into laughter.
