Chapter 1218: Venomous Snake Hissing (2/2)
A high-ranked Blood Demon?
That mysterious red-clad man clearly gave off the aura of a high-ranked Blood Demon. Furthermore, there was no presence of any other bloodline. This was a bona fide Demon expert and not a mixed-blood.
Strange, why is there a high-ranked Blood Demon here? This question popped into everyone’s head. The place where such a high-ranked Blood Demon should be appearing is the Astral Battlefield.
Seeing this group of half-step Martial Emperors with heavy auras and strong murderous intent pause, Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and asked indifferently, “What’s wrong? Are you not going to give chase? If you do not, you really won’t be able to catch up.”
The group of half-step Martial Emperors came to their senses and recalled that their main purpose was to chase down Xiao Chen and prevent him from obtaining the Flower of Life.
It was not to stop here and waste time with people who were not related. As for why a Demon Race expert was here, that was not something for them to worry about.
“You! We will return to settle this later.”
The half-step Martial Emperors glared at Chu Chaoyun before soaring away, heading in the direction Xiao Chen had taken and giving chase frantically.
“Chu Chaoyun, do you really think that I do not dare to do anything to you?” the red-clad person asked coldly. He felt ignored when he saw Chu Chaoyun allowing himself to be distracted, stopping the half-step Martial Emperors from chasing Xiao Chen despite being in a confrontation with him.
Chu Chaoyun slowly returned the sword to the sheath on his back. Then, he smiled humbly and said, “Naturally, I do not.”
“Don’t bother playing tricks with me.” The red-clad man said, “I am under the Night Blood Demon Monarch’s orders to come and kill the Azure Emperor’s descendant. Why are you stopping me? Are you trying to oppose the Demon Monarchs?”
Chu Chaoyun bent slightly. As he faced the red-clad person’s overbearing behavior, he remained calm, saying indifferently, “I do not dare. I am just here to tell you that you have a new mission, and you now need to depart immediately.”
The red-clad man smiled coldly and retorted, “Do you think that I am a fool? Do you think that I would not know if there is a mission? In the eighteen realms of the Deep Abyss Demonic World, only the Night Blood Demon Monarch can command me and give me missions. My current mission is to kill the Azure Emperor’s descendant. Anyone who stops me is being disrespectful to the Demon Monarchs and has to die!”
As the red-clad person spoke, he walked over, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He approached overbearingly and said, “Break your arm yourself first, and I can pretend that this never happened. Otherwise, if the Night Blood Demon Monarch comes to know of you, you will not be able to survive even if you have nine lives.”
Chu Chaoyun did not move. When the red-clad man was about to rage, a cold black medallion suddenly appeared in Chu Chaoyun’s hand.
“The Dark Medallion!”
The sight of this medallion greatly startled the overbearing red-clad man. He was in disbelief and no longer exuded that arrogant bullying zeal that he had earlier.
The Dark Medallion. Its bearer was definitely under the orders of the highest levels of the Dark Church. These people held the position of envoy, and even the Demon Monarchs had to obey when seeing them.
“Greetings to Lord Envoy,” the red-clad man said in a low voice as he bowed with a gleam of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Chu Chaoyun’s eyes narrowed as he smiled faintly. “You are too polite. However, Ye Wuxin, you should be saying ‘greetings to Envoy Chaoyun’ and not just Lord Envoy.”
[TL Note: The name Ye Wuxin can be translated to Heartless Night. This might be related to the Demon Monarch’s t.i.tle, Night Blood Demon Monarch. The word for night is in front in both cases and might be used as a family name.]
The red-clad man, Ye Wuxin, suppressed the rage in his heart and said, “Yes, Ye Wuxin greets Envoy Chaoyun.”
“Thank you for your politeness!” Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and continued, “Ye Wuxin, heed the orders. You are to rush to the Astral Battlefield and suppress Di Wuque and the other younger generation of the Kunlun Continent, preventing them from rising up.”
When Ye Wuxin heard that, it boggled him. “You must be joking. We need to activate the talents of the Demon Race with King Grade bloodlines for that group of so-called outstanding talents from the Kunlun Continent?”
Chu Chaoyun’s tone remained calm as he said at an unhurried pace, “This is your mission. Whether you believe it or not, it is up to you.”
“You have the Dark Medallion. I’ll believe you for now. However, if I find out that you lied to me, I will definitely not spare you.”
Although Ye Wuxin was not satisfied at leaving like that, Chu Chaoyun held the Dark Medallion. Thus, Ye Wuxin had to rush to the Astral Battlefield immediately.
“How could I? No matter how bold I am, I would not dare to use the Dark Medallion as a joke,” Chu Chaoyun said softly with a sincere expression.
Ye Wuxin also surmised that Chu Chaoyun would not be that bold. After snorting coldly, he turned into a clump of scarlet light that bounced around and disappeared from Chu Chaoyun’s sight in the time it took for one to blink.
After Chu Chaoyun watched the other party leave, he muttered, “Those Demons with the King Grade bloodline are indeed difficult to deal with. Just this speed alone, not many within the same generation would be able to keep up with it.
“However, he is still rather stupid.”
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and brought the Dark Medallion in his hand up to his lips and gently blew on it. The so-called Dark Medallion, which made Ye Wuxin quail, turned into a pile of ashes and scattered with the wind.
If Ye Wuxin were here, he would have realized that Chu Chaoyun tricked him into leaving obediently and even bowing to him. By then, he would probably have vomited blood out of frustration.
With this, Chu Chaoyun helped Xiao Chen by sending off a strong enemy with a few words.

On the other side, the eight half-step Martial Emperors frantically gave chase. However, after missing their opportunity, combined with the complicated geography of the Human-Demon Paradise, they lost track of Xiao Chen.
The half-step Martial Emperors split up to search but could not find anything. They were frustrated and angry, so they turned back to look for trouble with Chu Chaoyun. However, they could not figure out where he ran to, either.
Having failed in both endeavors, they became even more frustrated than before.
“Never mind. Let’s not chase him anymore. We will just wait for him outside. The Human-Demon Paradise will close in ten days. At that time, it will eject the people inside. The instant he comes out, we will take him down without speaking any nonsense to him,” one of the remaining experts from the Three Holy Lands said coldly.
