Chapter 601 To Annihilate Humanity (2/2)

Guan Longzi dutifully accepted the order. Beside him, Lei Hong saw a sense of relieving pass through his eyes. It seemed that he had been waiting for this moment.

Since that day, Lei Hong never saw Guan Longzi.

.....

Guan Longzi met Emperor Xia near the hot pillar punishment platform. The heavenly lady looking Meixi imperial concubine snuggled between Emperor Xia's arms. The beautiful melody was ringing by the ears while the sixteen palace maids were dancing on the empty land. The atmosphere was like under a spell.

”You seemed to understand my thoughts,” Emperor Xia spoke.

Respectfully, Guan Longzi knelt on the floor and bowed, answered, ”My wise King, if I could not see that, I must be blind.”

Emperor Xia said lightly, ”Get up.”

”Yes,” Guan Longzi gradually stood still. Although he knelt on the floor, he looked clean and unspoiled.

”Do you know that it was frustrating to communicate with idiots? However, I did not like smart people. You were the only one who stayed by my side after so many years,” Emperor Xia uttered.

”I knew about it. Last time, I was resentful but this time, I realized my naïve. Your Highness had been indulging in sensuous for nine years owing to the success in demon arts. The tribesmen that crossed you had been punished with death using the hot pillar. However, in reality, they were not dead but became your demonic generals. I thought I had the sage heart but still, I am fooled by Your Highness. This was a disgrace,” Guan Longzi's gaze pierced through the dancers and looked at Emperor Xia. His face looked like it was crafted from Kunwu stone, flawless.

The pair of eyes were like the owner of million demons. It could steal one's heart and soul and willingly submit oneself to him.

Emperor Xia was not surprised, he replied, ”You were right. Nine years ago when I released Tianyi, I was preparing for today. It was only recently that my demonic powers were successful. However, this path was a path to emotion and character destruction. If the intention did not match, it could not be accomplished. Hence, I would like to throw this question to you, were you loyal to me?”

Guan Longzi responded, ”Of course.”

”Good. Owing to your loyalty, I needed to kill you. Consequently, you would lose your human character. You could blame me, but it did not matter,” Emperor Xia moved his eyeballs. All of a sudden, the sixteen dancers became blood rain, annihilated between the heaven and earth.

Meixi shivered in Emperor Xia's arms but did not dare to utter a word.

Guan Longzi sighed, ”If I realized Your Highness secretly practiced the Primeval Demon Technique, I would have stopped it.”

”It was too late. Many times, I tried to make you leave me due to resentment. However, you were too loyal to me that I could not bear killing you. Therefore, I needed to make a move. I needed to kill you to lose my human character and became the Primeval Demon,” Emperor Xia's hand gently caressed Meixi's face. His eyes seemed to produce purple mist, turning to two irises.

Guan Longzi spoked, ”The Primeval destroyed emotions but it was not comparable to an unruffled Taishang. Your Highness, if you entered the path of Demon, you were beyond redemption.”

”I would like to forget but who could I forget?” Emperor Xia thundered.

Guan Longzi let out a sigh and responded, ”I was guilty, Your Highness.”

The thing he regretted the most was he did not put in effort in saving the High Priest. Emperor Xia could have taken the path of unruffled emotions which was better. The technique of Primeval Demon was powerful but it could not escape from the Six Realms of Samsara and Five Elements of Destruction. He would not have to destroy his human character.
