Three days later at a location with foggy weather.

Xue Ying was seen enjoying wine by himself in a pavilion next to the lake. A spear was placed on his knees. As the incarnation of Old Mother Ying Shan was currently still in the Ardent Fire City, Xue Ying did not practice in any techniques at all. Instead, he was merely comprehending the profound mysteries from the spear body.

As he enjoyed the wine, the female attendant Yan Yu was constantly refilling it for him.

“Xue Ying.” A voice was heard.

A red-haired male–Marquis Ardent Fire, flew over with a black-robed demonic teenager.

Xue Ying kept his spear and stood up immediately.

“Grandpa Marquis.” Xue Ying greeted. His gaze soon landed on that black-robed demonic teenager. That teenager was currently holding on to a fan fanning himself. His aura was relatively demonic too.

“This one is Magic Servant Blood Rain.” The black-robed demonic teenager kept his fan. He bowed, “Old Mother has bestowed me with the name ‘Ying Shan Zi Bai’. In the future, this one will be Prince’s protector. The day Prince breaks through to the Primal Chaos realm is also the day I return to the ancestral family.”

Xue Ying was startled.

Magic Servant ‘Blood Rain’?

It was rare for fleshy puppets to wield strength at the Primal Chaos realm. There were even fewer with the ability to generate energy. Magic Servant ‘Chao Qing’ was considered to be the lowest graded amongst them and also the cheapest. Nevertheless, it required 50 million cosmos crystals to purchase, though there were quite a few Cosmos Gods who could refine it. But Magic Servant Blood Rain was different. Only the ‘Summer Wind Ancient Nation’ out of the six great ancient nations could refine it. It could maintain an underlying strength of God Yuan Palace seventh level and persist for quite an extended period. During the most crucial moments, it could refine its body to unleash a force at the God Yuan Palace eighth level. After the battle, a massive amount of external materials would be required to restore its energy back.

A magic servant that could unleash power at the God Yuan Palace eighth level… the price to purchase it was quite horrifying–equivalent to about six Chao Qings’ price. Marquis Ardent Fire could not afford this magic servant even if he sold all his belongings. Only Old Mother Ying Shan could afford it, to which she bestowed it with the name Ying Shan Zi Bai.

“I’ll have to trouble Zi Bai in the future.” Xue Ying immediately said.

“It is my honor to be a protector of Prince.” Zi Bai held onto the fan and gave an elegant salute.

“Xue Ying, the old ancestor is afraid that the mastermind of this assassination would not give up just like this. Hence, she sent Zi Bai over.” Marquis Ardent Fire explained.

“The mastermind hasn’t been found?” Xue Ying followed with a question.

“We can only deduce that it should be a devil from the Black Devil Great Lake.” Marquis Ardent Fire shook his head.

Xue Ying felt his heart tightening.

Black Devil Great Lake?

Including the Southern Cloud Nation, the four nations around the lake were known as the Black Devil Four Nations. Why? Precisely because they were located next to the ‘Black Devil Great Lake’, and that location was a famous gathering place for devils across the entire Realm Heart Great Land. Horrifying devils that were placed on the wanted list by the six great ancient nations were mostly hiding in the Black Devil Great Lake.

And since these devils could escape from the six great ancient nations, much less was needed to say about other second-tier nations like Southern Cloud Nation. They had a hard time facing the Black Devil Great Lake. After all, there were more than ten Cosmos Gods that were deduced to be staying within the lake, and included amongst them included those great devils that had once brought disaster to the six great ancient nations.

“A devil from the Black Devil Great Lake has sent someone to assassinate me?” Xue Ying felt puzzled.

“It should be an enemy of my Ying Shan Clan.” Marquis Ardent Fire said, “This cannot be avoided. Over the long years, the Ying Shan Clan had dealings with the devils from the Black Devil Great Lake. Naturally, our Ying Shan Clan would not be willing to be humiliated by them. There were even times when we began a huge massacre of those devils!”

“To have dealings with the devils?” Xue Ying felt puzzled.

Why would the Conferred King families within the Southern Cloud Nation have a deal with the devils?

“You will naturally understand these when you reach the Primal Chaos realm.” Marquis Ardent Fire said, “Alright, let’s not waste any more time. You should hurry to the capital.”

“Okay. I have prepared everything and could set off anytime.” Xue Ying grinned.

At that moment, Zi Bai whipped open his fan and continued fanning himself. He chuckled: “It has been a long time since I last visited the capital.”

******

That day.

Xue Ying brought along the Magic Servant Zi Bai, Tian Yi Zhi, the two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, nine personal guards and a female attendant Yan Yu. Even though his mother Rong Xing Lan asked him to bring more female attendants over, Xue Ying was used to cultivating alone in his previous life. Bringing a female attendant was already the limit of which he did to cope with his mother.

“Hu.”

They first proceeded to the teleportation array in Ardent Fire City in the direction of one of the three Great Emperor ranked cities, ‘Chun Yu City’.

Following that, they went to another teleportation array within the Chun Yu City which led them towards the capital!

“Hua~”

The space regained its usual calm.

A white-robed handsome young man with a female attendant by his side, a gray-robed old man, a black-robed demonic male fanning himself and two Black Stream Cloud Wolves were looking around with wary. Those wolves were letting out soft growls, and the nine personal guards remained solemn.
