NovelEnglishI Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]
14.109 Last Violet Star - (Past) Demonic Cultivators
The four Great Sects were well aware of what was going on in the Capital after just one night. As predicted, the Lu, Yun, and Bai all dispatched reinforcements once the Xie Clan became involved. Jin Shiyan, who had just escorted his fiancée to the North, hastily returns to his own Sect to purge the spies and traitors. It appears that Bai Wuan had forwarded him some evidence of his Sect's complicity in the Xie Clan kidnapping.
The locations of the abducted young cultivators were revealed by some greedy Jin Tiangui Sect members. Jin Shiyan was furious upon learning of this and made the decision to purge his own home. He refrained from sending reinforcements because of concern that one of them may be a spy. As soon as the heir returned from his training, there was blood all over the Jin Tiangui Sect.
Wen Hong's preparations took three full days, and the remainder was put to rest. The idea was for Lu Yi to lead the reinforcement while Yun Xiajie remained outside the palace in case anyone escaped. Wen Hong and Cao Junya were followed by Bai Wuan, who possessed the best stealth technique, to meet the sick Emperor in the Main Palace. They had to enter the Main Palace covertly, the three of them.
There aren't enough guards on duty, and Bai Wuan sensed something amiss as they made their approach to the main palace. Even more subpar servants exist.
Bai Wuan asked, "Were you able to contact Head Eunuch last night?"
"Not directly but... A written message was passed to me," answered Wen Hong.
"Let me see it."
Wen Hong handed the written letter from his elder brother's servant, Old Eunuch. He has known that elderly man all his life, so there is no way he could have thought the writing belonged to someone else. Bai Wuan examined the message and saw that the writing wasn't simple. He raised the paper in the light of the sun and saw some hazy marks on it.
Bai Wuan said, "Give me a small fire. Hurry!"
Wen Hong followed instructions because he could sense the young disciple in front of him was anxious. They watched as Bai Wuan held the piece of paper over the flames, but not too close for it to burn. They saw some characters in bolded ink on the page all of a sudden.
"An Anagram? Enemy. Golden. Core. Run." said Bai Wuan as he smelled the paper. "White wine. It's an invisible message. I think the Old eunuch and your brother are captured."
Wen Hong and Cao Junya were shocked to discover that the phrases Bai Wuan had stated were written in the letter exactly as they should have been after the heat affected the paper.
"That damn crown prince! How can he be so cruel towards his own father!?" cussed Cao Junya.
With a dark face, Wen Hong asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Change of plans. We are luring them all out at once. Once I saw the figure of the man watching over your brother I will drag him away. You feed this pill to your older brother. But these pills wouldn't cure his illness. What he had is a chronic disease, it was something he was born with. No ordinary pills can heal it. The pill I give you would temporarily allow him to regain strength and... To know how long he can live, I need to check on him myself," said Bai Wuan.
Wen Hong said, "I understand. Thank you, Daoist Bai!"
"Save it for later. Hide for a while. I will create a diversion to get the enemy out. If I don't see it wrong, there are four people inside the Main Palace. One of them is a cultivator while the other three are mortals. I will leave the matter to you. Beware of ambush, especially poison," warned Bai Wuan.
Wen Hong said, "I will keep those words in mind!"
"You are too smart and meticulous. I do not want you to become our enemy," said Cao Junya.
Wen Hong said, "Enough! Come over here and hide."
The group picked a moment in the middle of the day to sneak into the Imperial Palace. The Lan Zhuayun Sect's flare is white, making it difficult to view the crest in daylight. Fortunately, Bai Wuan produced some simple red ones. For a few minutes, after it appeared in the sky, it would leave a crimson smoke trail.
Yun Xiajie would recognize in a single second that this indication denotes an impending attack. Before Wen Hong could see him, he had already alerted everyone about the possibility of the Emperor being abducted. If all went according to plan, they would launch a frontal assault.
But now that their target has been caught, it appears that they actually couldn't employ Plan A.
The Old Emperor has to be saved first. Bai Wuan fired three red lights to signal that Plan A had failed and they needed to start Plan B after Wen Hong and Cao Junya hid from view.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
An explosion-like sound was followed by the appearance of a crimson mist cloud in the sky. The roar was heard and noticed by everyone in the Imperial Palace. As anticipated, they have begun to call for security, believing that there are invaders.
"Intruders! Intruders in the Main Palace!!"
"Call the Royal Guards! There's an intruder in the Emperor's Palace!!!"
While standing in front of the Emperor's courtyard, Bai Wuan ignored the advancing royal guards. The commoners serving as guards immediately recognized the handsome young man as a member of one of the Great Sects when they saw him wearing a Taoist robe with a crest on his body. They waited before attacking him since they were aware of their lack of chance against him.
"This Young Lord here! Can we ask why you appeared in the Emperor's Courtyard?"
"Well,~ let's see... Your authority seems to be not enough to talk to me. In the mortal race, only the Emperor is deemed to have such worth. Are you the Emperor?" said Bai Wuan.
"Can we ask sire if you are from the Great Sect?"
"Indeed, I am. I'm Bai Lengshui Sect. If you are asking if I have the right to represent them... Would this token suffice?" said Bai Wuan as a pure white jade with a Snowflake pattern and a single character 'Bai' at the center was enough to prove his standing.
"A White Jade. He is a direct lineage!"
When Bai Wuan revealed his Jade Token, it was clear that he was the right person to represent the Bai Lengshui Sect. He was treated with reverence by the Royal Knights as though they were the emperor himself. The Great Sects are strongholds in the realm of mortals. As Bai Wuan mentioned, they are the ones in charge, and only the Human Emperor has the power to address them.
The whole royal guard salutes Bai Wuan while bending on one knee. It's an impressive sight to witness. The individual who started it, though, seemed casual as if he didn't give a damn about what they did.
"I, Bai Wuan, the direct disciple of Sect Master Bai, wish to meet the Human Emperor. I used the Jade of Bai Lengshui Sect as an authority to do so!"
"Or is there a reason why the Human Emperor is not even sending his direct servant to welcome this Lord? For example... The two guests who aren't supposed to stay in the Old Emperor's Palace, I suppose?"
"Failing to meet my demand meant something had happened to the Human Emperor and the Great Sect Alliance would have to step in."
His requests went unanswered, and the Main Palace entrance is still shut. Even the Royal Guards sensed a problem. The Emperor would typically meet members of the Great Sect in order to maintain harmony between mortals and cultivators, or he would at the very least send his most devoted servant, the Old Eunuch, to greet them. They remembered the Crown Prince arriving with a middle-aged man dressed in a black and crimson robe with an odd crest, but this time the door of the Main Palace remained locked.
"N-No one is coming! Is the Emperor in danger!"
"S-Send people to the court! Say that something had happened to the Emperor."
"Also inform them that someone from the Great Sect had arrived. Tell them we don't have enough authority to speak to the representative."
Due to the lack of a leader, the outside of the main palace was rather disorderly. On the other hand, Bai Wuan maintains his focus on the locked door that abruptly swung open to reveal a young man with dark burgundy hair and an amusing expression on his face. He is dressed in pretty opulent attire, and despite having inferior genes, he resembles Wen Hong just a little bit. Wen Kang, the Crown Prince, is shown here.
The Crown Prince, Wen Kang, started speaking with his glib mouth.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"This Esteemed Guest. Coming uninvited is quite impolite don't... you... think so? Wow~ so beautiful..."
The Crown Prince was immediately seduced and captured when he first beheld Bai Wuan's looks.
This is the first time he has ever seen such transcendent beauty. He is much more captivating than the Second Princess, who is thought to be their royal family's most attractive prince.
Bai Wuan fixed an expressionless gaze on the Crown Prince. Ice began to spread just beneath the man's foot as soon as the impolite man dared to approach him. The Crown Prince stopped walking as he saw the ice coming his way. Despite being a long way away, he can still sense the aura of the stunning entity emanating coldness in front of him.
"Is this the answer of the royal family? Welcoming this lord a direct descendant of the Bai Lengshui Sect with a mere prince! You do not possess enough manners to appear before this lord!" said Bai Wuan as he unleashed a domineering aura of a Golden Core Cultivator making the royal guards and especially the weak human prince prostrate under Bai Wuan's feet.
Ugh~
Even though Wen Hong and Cao Junya were saved from being intimidated by Bai Wuan's aura, they were nevertheless astounded by the fact that Bai Wuan is so incredibly powerful.
Stunned, Wen Hong mumbled, "He is also at Peak Golden Core Stage and he is even a few years younger than his Dao Companion."
"I remember... The Ice Demoness is said to be the most monstrous genius of their generation. He could even defeat any opponent a level or two higher than he is. In short, at the Peak Golden Core stage, he is able to equally fight a Nascent Soul Cultivator at the Early stages. His lover is also talented. He is the most talented cultivator of his clan, the Lan Zhauyan Sect," explained Cao Junya.
Wen Hong said, "Are children nowadays this strong? I just feel old just looking at them."
"We don't have to compare ourselves to these pairs of monsters. Some elders of their sect are also only as strong as us. These two are unique existences. Ah~ that hidden cultivator is finally coming out!" said Cao Junya.
The Crown Prince yells while forced to kneel on the ground, "Senior! How long are you going to hide?! Please help this prince!!"
Snort! The coercion from Bai Wuan stopped abruptly as he was stunned to see the man who comes out of the palace.
"Why should this old man save a useless and greedy prince like yourself? Didn't you sell the royal family just to sit on the throne in your dreams!"
A Xie Clan Elder emerged from the courtyard dressed in a crimson and black Taoist robe. Everyone in the vicinity could immediately smell the aroma of blood and sense the aura of death on his body. As he gazed at Bai Wuan, he appeared incredibly amicable and had a smile on his face in contrast to the present he was radiating.
When Bai Wuan noticed that this cultivator from the Xie clan had crimson eyes, a chilly posture, and traces of inner demons brought on by anger qi, he scowled briefly. He was a true Demonic Cultivator who coexists with his mental demons, not just a regular evil cultivator.
"I see now... No wonder the Xie Clan had become aggressive and arrogant lately. Not only their Clan Leader had conspired with the devil race, but they also allied themselves with genuine Demonic Cultivators," said Bai Wuan.
"Little one~ you are indeed very smart as well as strong. But... Can you even protect all the Mortals around you? Hehe~" said the Demonic cultivator as he spreads his resentment aura affecting all those within the vicinity. Suddenly screams and wails spread in the Main Palace.
