The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 875 - The Story Of The Emperor, The Flower And The Demon

Just a day after Lory was kidnapped by Wei Zu Tian, hundreds of members of Hei Shen attacked the villa where Wei Zu Tian lived, however, Wei Zu Tian was not there nor his Heavenly Knight warriors there were only a few lowly members of the Heaven Gate sect and a few males and female Wei Zu Tian Concubines including Guan Men Niang that still remain in the villa.

Zhao Li Xin's brash actions were taken as a desperate measure to get his wife back, many people laughed at him for they thought they finally, saw how The great Long Ming fall from grace into nothing but a loser cuckold. They praised Wei Zu Tian's abilities and more sects were join Heaven's Gate sect because they put complete trust in Wei Zu Tian and Heaven's gate sect's strength.

When the luxurious villa where Wei Zu Tian and his people lived caught fire, three people watched the gray smoke rise to the sky tainting the beautiful dawn with black and greyish smokes, meanwhile at below people scramble and shout in panic as they trying to control the fire could be heard faintly even from the distance.

"Are they really back to the Hwang Wu continent now, what will happen if they run to the Whispering forest instead?" Jiang Jin Wei crossed his arms in front of his chest, his tightly knitted brows showing his concern.

Bei Li Yan heard his muttering and chuckled, "So they can be comforted by Wei Zu Tian?" Bei Li Yan sarcastically said "You think Wei Zu Tian will be caring enough to take them under his arms? right now he feels he has the upper hand and might laugh at our Lord's useless attempt to vent his anger, this is exactly the reaction he wants to see so will he care about the fate of his subordinates or concubines? Of course not, they are worthless in his eyes so at most he sent whoever remain back to the Hwang Wu continent instead of bothering his business in the whispering forest" Bei Li Yan waved his hand casually.

Although it sounds cruel, but that prediction alines with Wei Zu Tian characters, "That's right, from the shadow guards information only Wei Zu Tian's confidants are allowed to enter the whispering forest none of his concubines has visited him there" Jiang Jin Wei admitted that this plan would work.

"Hey, Milord already told you this, are you starting to doubt our Lord's decision now? he may be lazy and rarely pay attention but when he focuses he is much smarter than all of us combined!" Bei Li Yan pursed his lips with an annoyed expression.

"Who said I doubted our Lord? I was just a little worried!" Jiang Jin Wei immediately defends himself.

Bei Li Yan let out a loud snort, but then he realized that Wu San Bo had been silent for a long time and just stared at the burning villa with a serious expression. Bei Li Yan more or less know what his good Brother thinking so he places his elbow on Bei Li yan's shoulder while saying in assuring tone "Don't worry, Miss Guan, will be fine"

Wu San Bo looks annoyed then giving Bei Li Yan side eyes "I'm not thinking about her"

Bei Li Yan only grin and quipped "Of course, you're not"

It was no secret that Wu San Bo visited Guan Men Niang personally using an 'important task' as a reason, however, everyone knows such a task could be assigned to any of his subordinates, but Wu San Bo chose to do this trivial job himself and left his business to his subordinate to handle, why Wu San Bo suddenly become dutiful?

Everyone including the insensitive ones like Jiang Jin Wei also aware of this but they all chose to remain silent, only regarding the relationship between men and women they chose not to interfere unless they were asked to.

"I have also warned the people I sent to storm the villa to make sure Miss Guan safety even I have shown them Miss Guan's painting so that they should recognize GuabN men Niang face, so you can be relaxed, my brother." Jiang Jin Wei patted Wu San Bo's other shoulders thoughtfully.

Knowing he has been teased by his two brothers Wu San Bo flung his shoulder away from his brothers and grumbling, "I told you I'm not worried about her, after all... I've already given her a spatial ring full of talismans and protective talismans, of course, she'll be fine!" he accidentally exposed his thought.

Bei Li Yan and Wu San Bo who heard him simultaneously gave a thumbs up, "Smart, just like our Lord when courting a woman, you must be firm and swift!" they sincerely praised Wu San Bo's moves.

"I'M NOT COURTING HER!" Wu San Bo remains persistent.

"Alright, then we're wrong" Bei Li Yan raised both his hands in surrender then he turned around and sighed "Since the business here is done then I should also do my job"

"Make sure no information gets out of the Liang Zu kingdom!" Wu San Bo warned.

Bei Li Yan smirked while spreading his arms, "Come on, you know covering up and spreading fake news is my forte" Bei Li Yan laughed as he walked away.

"Then I also go, I have to prepare my troops for the real war" Jiang Jin Wei fixed his robes then also left.

Wu San Bo was left alone, his eyes fixed on the direction of the villa although he looks calm there is an inexplicable glint flash in his eyes, after a while, he flicks his robes then turns around and left.

Meanwhile, inside the spatial ring, Zhao Li Xin inspected the transparent crystal bottle, several leech-like creatures were twitching in the bottle, anger and disgust fire in her eyes, it was Lazarus who brought these creatures into this world for whatever reason Devil infects There were many Humans and Beasts even though he was indifferent to the fate of this world but he knew Lory would not back down and let Lazarus mess up this world.

The truth is Zhao Li Xin never blamed Lory for what Lazarus did to this world, if anyone was to blame he would blame all of Lao Min Na because she was the one who willingly follow Lazarus every whim in exchange for power and fame.

Both Lao Min Na and Lory were under the same influence of Lazarus both made a deal with Lazarus but Lory never really resigned herself to the Demon schemed, in his own way, Lory fought Lazarus relentlessly and it cost her everything while Lao Min Na did the opposite that's why Lazarus has become much stronger here than in Lory's world, still, Lory feels responsible for everything that Lazarus has done, Lory also subconsciously bears half of Lao Min Na's mistakes which is unfair in Zhao Li Xin opinion because Lao Min Na made a conscious decision to work with Lazarus and that is in no way Lory's responsibility.

"Why did you bring the Demon parasite here?" Huo Long's head suddenly popped out behind Zhao Li Xin.

Zhao Li Xin glanced at Huo Long for a moment then turned his gaze back to the bottle in his hand "There's something I want to try Zhao Li Xin said indifferently.

"Like what?" Huo Long tilted his head.

"I want to try to kill this thing with my own strength since I am already at Sage level, I should be able to kill this thing, right?" Zhao Li Xin's voice hints with uncertainty.

Huo Long clasped his hands behind his back then suddenly throw an unexpected question, "Do you know what the demon parasite is made of?"

Zhao Li Xin cast his questioning gaze at Huo Long. Realizing he had ignited Zhao Li Xin's curiosity, Huo Long's lips curved into a proud smile, "There was a beautiful flower that once grew on the peak of the highest mountain, the flower then absorbed the power of heaven and earth to cultivate itself then after thousands of years the flower began to grow sentient. even so, because it living in seclusion on the top of the mountain the flower is still untainted with worldly emotion as the flower is purer than the snow that falls from the sky soon after the flower becomes the mountain deity. Then one-day humans heard about this celestial flower that grew on the top of the mountain the rumor said the flower has divine ability to make anyone who devours it become string and immortal, although it is just a rumor and no one have proof yet, but... humans did what humans have always done'¦"

"They want the flowers for themselves'¦" Zhao Li Xin interrupted with a cynical grin plastered on his face.

Huo Long cast his gaze on the volcano with unreadable emotion, "Thousands of humans from different races and countries marched to that mountain, they fought at each other, they schemed, killed and destroyed everything that stood in their way it didn't take long for the beautiful mountain to covered in human blood, the stench of human corpses and dried blood seeping into the air it attracts scavengers Beasts from every corner not long after more ferocious and bigger beasts also come and the fight expand not only between human but Beasts also in the mix after that the once sacred mountain became a bloody battleground, because of so much death, hatred, resentment, envy and anger that left by the human soul soon the pure flower inevitably got influence.

Angered and sad by the greed of the humans the flowers spitting its pollen into the sky and it infecting humans and beasts and it turns them into a frenzy they started killing each other indiscriminately'¦ sound familiar?"

Zhao Li Xin's eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened because of the utter shock, "The Demon Parasite is the pollen of a Celestial flower?"

"Amazing right~" Huo Long smiled ironically, "It's amazing how something so pure could be so easily corrupted" Huo Long stared at the creature in the bottle with an inexplicable expression however it soon disappeared in a second.

"But Lory said it was Lazarus who brought the Parasite beasts into his world, how come?" Zhao Li Xin looks perplexed.

Huo Long took a deep breath he found a small flat stone then he sat down looking deeply at Zhao Li Xin. "Lory isn't wrong, Lazarus is the one who released the Demonic parasite into the world but she doesn't know how isn't she?"

"Stop with the suspense and tell me everything!" the tension makes Zhao Li Xin impatient.

"Once the Heavenly flower turned into an evil flower, a hero came and destroyed the flower, and that hero was Emperor Lei Yu'¦ your ancestor"

Huo Long's words hit Zhao Li Xin like lightning in the middle of the day, his entire body stiffened, his dark eyes filled with unfathomable emotion as he muttered under his breath "What are you saying?"

"You don't believe me?" Huo Long raised his eyebrows then he pointed at the bottle, "Just look at those creatures, aren't these similar with the 'Gu', people who created 'Gu' where do you think they got their inspiration from? Do you think this is a coincidence? Forget it Boy, everything that happens in this world has been ordained since a long -long time ago even longer than my own existence"

Zhao Li Xin stunned, It had always been an unanswered question lingering in his head how similar the Demon parasite was to 'Gu', even its effect on its victims was almost the same, deep down he knew there must be more in it but he hesitated to dig deeper, Zhao Li Xin heart restless and a voice inside his head told him that he would not be able to accept the truth.

"The first emperor Lei Yu killed the evil flower and his subordinates cleansed the mountain from the Demon parasite, however'¦Emperor Lei Yu took pity on the innocent evil flower that was affected by human greed so he took the flower core seed. He thought it wasn't too late to purify the flower to its previous state, unfortunately, he didn't have the power but he knew who had it so he gave it to Lazarus..."

"So, in other words, the Demon Parasite isn't from the Lory world'¦ it's from here.." Zhao Li Xin's heart skipped a beat, the truth shaking him to the core. Turns out their worlds were connected long before he and Lory existed so what does this mean for them?
