Chapter 402: Abilities (2/2)
”Young master, I am willing to do the same!”
”Me too!”
All of the demon elites fell to one knee, their green demonic eyes glowing in the rain.
”How dare you! I had already made a deal with him not to chase him down whilst he is still in the Southern Regions! Do you want me to break my promises?” Yun Qingwu bellowed.
”Young master!”
”Young master, please think twice. Fang Zhengzhi cannot be allowed to live!”
”Young master, please give the order to kill Fang Zhengzhi!”
All of the demon elites looked at each other after hearing what Yun Qingwu said. Then, they replied in unison.
”Young master, I will take responsibility for the dishonor. I made up my own mind and disobeyed your orders. However, I hope that young master can spare my family!” Bai Xing's eyes were filled with an icy aura as the silver light in his hand glowed radiantly.
Yun Qingwu's expression changed.
She did not expect that Bai Xing would be this determined. She did not expect that he was prepared to disobey her orders.
The silver light in Bai Xing's palm beamed.
Yun Qingwu knew how powerful this strike was going to be. If it hit home, even the Supernatural State Fang Zhengzhi would not be able to survive.
”Bai Xing, don't you dare!” Yun Qingwu stepped between Bai Xing and Fang Zhengzhi, her expression steely.
”Young master!” Bai Xing's hand stopped in mid-air, his expression filled with anxiety and disbelief.
Fang Zhengzhi was ripe for the picking.
If he missed this opportunity, he may not have another one. This was an unprecedented chance.
As such...
How could he miss it?
He had to kill Fang Zhengzhi!
He had to destroy this potential threat to the Demons. This was something that he had to do. However, Yun Qingwu was in his way! How could he strike?
”Capture Bai Xing!” Yun Qingwu's voice was icy.
”Young master, please let Domain Chief Bai off!”
”Young master, please spare him!”
All of the demon elites looked at Bai Xing and Yun Qingwu and began to plead on Bai Xing's behalf.
”I have controlled the Star Domain for more than a decade. Since I have disobeyed the orders of the young master, my death is imminent. However, I must kill Fang Zhengzhi. Is there anyone else who is willing to die with me? Help me hold down the young master whilst I take care of Fang Zhengzhi!” Bai Xing bit his lip and drew blood.
”Domain Chief Bai, I will die with you!”
”Me too!”
Two demon elites stood forward.
”What is this rubbish! Whoever dares to disobey the young master is going up against the entire Demon Race. Do you think that your death will change anything?” Wu Ji's voice rang out, his sword lowered at the two demon elites who stepped forward.
The expressions of the two demon elites changed.
They were loyal to Yun Qingwu, but when they saw Fang Zhengzhi faint, their emotions got the better of them.
They had the same idea as Bai Xing.
Fang Zhengzhi had to die!
They knew the consequences of insubordination...
However, when Wu Ji had spelled it out...
Their determination wavered.
Death...
Would not be enough to wash the slate clean.
Insubordination was akin to rebelling. A demon like this would go down in infamy. Generations of demons would shame and demean such a demon.
Hesitation, terror.
”Young master, my apologies!”
”Please forgive us!”
The two demons fell to their knees and kowtowed to Yun Qingwu.
When Bai Xing saw this, he chuckled rather manically. He had expected this to happen.
Yun Qingwu!
She had become the young master of the demons at the age of 10. She was not particularly talented. To be more precise, her talents were not in cultivation.
The Demons prized ability above all else.
Ability and prowess gave you status amongst the Demons.
However, Yun Qingwu had shown them another type of ability, an ability that was terrifying. This was an ability that made everyone willing to serve her.
When she was five, Yun Qingwu was sent to a neighboring city many miles from the Blood Shadow City. That was a city which was extremely barren.
Five years later...
Yun Qingwu had made that outpost a bustling city.
The security around that outpost was not less than the Blood Shadow City. She was not particularly powerful, but her subordinates included countless powerful demons.
Each of them masters in their own rights.
However, all of these powerful demons were willing to serve a 10-year-old girl.
No one in the Blood Shadow City knew how she had managed to accomplish all of this.
However, they knew that Yun Qingwu's return to the Blood Shadow City was not out of pity or talent...
It was ability!
After the defeat, the Demons had been trapped in the Blood Shadow City and embroiled in civil war.
In five years, Yun Qingwu had managed to stop all the infighting and set up the Six Domain Demonic Army.
When she returned to the Blood Shadow City...
There were countless powerful demons standing behind her. All of them were loyal to her and her alone.
Talents?
The Demons had countless talents!
But they only had one Yun Qingwu.
Yun Qingwu did not use her talents in cultivation to re-enter the Blood Shadow City. She had used her ability to unite the Demons.
That year, she was 10.
The Demon Lord, the leaders of all the four largest families, all of the reputable demons, and all the talents stood at the entrance to the Blood Shadow City.
They waited to receive their new young master!
”Capture Bai Xing!” Yun Qingwu's voice was icy, her aura enough to scare most demons into submission.
”Young master... I have been with you since you were seven. I have never disobeyed any of your orders. But this time, I really cannot listen to you!” Bai Xing's eyes sparkled. It was almost as if the stars in the skies were captured by his eyes.
At this moment, a ray of light shot down from the sky.
A figure stepped forward.
