Chapter 1 Son of the First Wife (Direct Descendant)
Fierce light poured down froainst the blood n state of Yin1 There were few, even a, that would not have treht
Above the horizon, a black-and-blue parrot2 flapped its wings and looked down upon the earth to observe a host, ten-thousand strong, advance to the gates of the city
The winged creature was like a dark devil Cold, proud, euard of six flying cars ahead of a long line of hted ropes of hemp
The advance teahts, riding single-horned blood beasts, to push forward to guard the flanks A colu cars fell back to defend the rear
As the flurry of activity kicked up a swirling cloud of dust, the blood parrot shi+fted to a different area of the sky with a loud screech
Those who heard it fro tea in
The entrance to Yin was protected behind a solid barrier, a perimeter wall made of metal that extended several hundred h as five hundred uarded each end
At this moment, patrol squads of three to four soldiers were posted on each level of the two pyra tea blood slave soldiers were covered from head to toe in dark-red coic iteh-ranking Yin officers wore siave off an extre any trouble, crossed their hands behind their backs and began to leisurely watch the procession of captives draw ever closer to the city gates
”A rare harvest!” said a seely thirteen-year-old boy who sneered down from the top of one of the pyraathered a wisp of evil strength into his eyes and began to exareat distances away
His vision shone with great intensity as his gaze shi+fted from face to face
”As soon as the one in the black windbreaker and the one in the red skirt arrive, I want them cleaned up and sent to reat joy, satisfied by the prey he'd found
The grey-haired old rinned viciously and bowed in acknowledgereat horn blew
The hunting tea cars landed with a whoosh Doors slid open and several troops dressed in dark-red arround
Immediately, a soldier, a captain with a countenance that said he was in charge, wasted no tiht, listen up you lowly outcasts Your good fortune has arrived because, as of today, the blessings of Yin shall be bestowed upon you…”
”…But be warned Anyone who tries to stir up trouble will be executed”
The captain paused a long, heavy silence in order to give soht of his words to sink in
”Now, after you've been untied and have found your families, you are to line up over there in a neat formation”
With that, chaos ensued
Ropes were cut Mothers called out to their daughters and fathers yelled for their sons
It was a wall of shouts, flushed faces, and raised arms until a thin old man in a tattered black robe, suddenly barreled out of the bustling sea
Everyone looked to the ragged olda pal: ”My children, do not believe the lies of these devils! They are bloodthirsty de you with sweet and poisonous fruits! If you believe them, you will become their food and their sacrifices! Never…ever believe-”
The dirty old man was cut short as a nearby Yin soldier quickly drew his black long sword and stabbed the old man in the chest
The soldier refused to re more than a withered corpse beneath his blade When it was done, the soldier re sith a quick jerk and pried the silver cross froers
It was a beautiful yet ancient thing that weighed perfectly in his hands
After studying it for several heartbeats, the soldier moved towards the entrance of the city-state and joined the rest of his brothers ere lined up in a colue, who had been sitting at that long table, felt cold
Even though he'd seen countless others be executed in a si It didn't help that the despair-filled eyes of that dead oldin his direction
But, if he had been aware of the presence of Yin Xuejiao, the youth who had just been standing at the top of the pyra his true erabbed a whip, covered in the scales of a three-headed blue python, fro him hard across his shoulder
Yin Xuejiao did not stop whipping hi after his blood-colored robe had been torn open, and a thick piece of flesh about two feet long had flown froh him noas torturous He could not speak for the rown as pale as a e wound But as he drew in a deep breath, he began healing exceptionally fast
When he could no longer feel any injury a few breaths later, he stood up and turned around
Hatred burst fronized the youth that had struck hiuised veno upon Yin Xuejiao's lips as he looked at Yin Xuege's pale, tre body with disdain
They confronted each other in silence Then, Yin Xuejiao drew close and leaned over to whisper in his ear: ”Are you pitying those cheap people, half-breed? Euess it can't be helped since, technically, you are one of theer, but he made it subside He didn't want to worsen his situation
Surprised that Yin Xuege had refused to respond to his first and second provocation, Yin Xuejiao decided to try soe's chest, saying: ”Well, I'd love to stay and torture you irls, it would be a cris!”
Yin Xuege's face turned red and a wisp of blood light faintly rippled in his pupils
Immediately, Yin Xuejiao's form retreated two steps and several tall Yin clanse, weapons raised
But the set a chance to fill the air
A ed man, whose body radiated Yin Evil Qi, placed a hand over Yin Xuege's still tender shoulder and said: ”You would do well to ree Do not ed e's shoulder until the bones underneath cracked
