Chapter 203 - I Will Quietly Await Your Good News~
In a forest somewhere in Qianmo Ridge.
Qianmo Xiechong stood quietly in the forest with his eyes tightly closed, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
When the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves reached his ears, Qianmo Xiechong slowly opened his eyes and said calmly:
"Since you're here, come on out."
"Father."
Qianmo Xieyu walked out from the dark woods.
He had not deliberately hidden his aura or his footsteps. He had no intention of concealing himself to begin with, so he walked out openly.
"Xieyu, it's you…?"
Seeing that the person who had arrived was Qianmo Xieyu, Qianmo Xiechong was very surprised.
"It is I, Father."
"Why have you come here?"
Qianmo Xieyu asked.
"Since you've followed me, come here."
Qianmo Xiechong did not answer, but instead beckoned with his hand, having Qianmo Xieyu walk before him.
Looking at Qianmo Xieyu standing before him, Qianmo Xiechong placed a hand on his shoulder and admonished him with a fierce expression:
"Xieyu! You are the future pride and hope of our Qianmo clan!"
"This father has placed all my hopes on you!"
"This father believes that one day in the future, you will definitely be able to surpass the Demon Lord!"
"You must not let this father down!"
Qianmo Xieyu was briefly silent for a moment, then gave a slight nod.
"Xieyu, what's wrong with you…?"
"Since you came out of seclusion, you've become a man of few words…"
Qianmo Xiechong’s brows narrowed slightly as he asked in confusion.
He keenly sensed that compared to before his seclusion over two hundred years ago, the post-seclusion Qianmo Xieyu seemed to have become taciturn.
His voice had also become a little deeper, and his attitude towards him also seemed a little more indifferent…
However, after being in seclusion for so long without any interaction with others, it was normal for his temperament to have changed somewhat…
Moreover, compared to his previous personality of being easily enraged and arrogant, becoming more mature and stable now was not a bad thing…
Just as Qianmo Xieyu was slowly opening his mouth, intending to explain, his expression suddenly hardened, and he looked warily towards a dark corner of the forest.
From the corner, a figure dressed in magnificent celestial robes slowly walked out.
This person only revealed a slight silhouette from the darkness; their face was still hidden in the dark.
Qianmo Xiechong also noticed the person behind him and abruptly turned to stare at them.
After seeing the other person's attire, he then lowered his guard and said calmly:
"You've come."
This was the person Qianmo Xiechong had been waiting for all along.
The figure hidden in the darkness did not reply, but instead looked at Qianmo Xieyu beside Qianmo Xiechong and asked:
"He is…?”
"He is my most pride-and-joy, my only son, Qianmo Xieyu."
"He only just came out of seclusion recently."
"Rest assured, he is the son I trust most. You can speak freely."
Qianmo Xiechong calmly introduced Qianmo Xieyu beside him.
Hearing Qianmo Xiechong say this, the figure paid it no more mind and spoke bluntly:
"I have come because there is a matter I must entrust to you."
"Hmph, to think that with your status and identity, you would have a favor to ask of me?"
"Lord Potian!"
Qianmo Xiechong said with a cold sneer, his tone sarcastic.
It was true that he had a cooperative relationship with the other party.
But in the end, they had different identities, one of the Demon clan and one of the Heavenly clan.
Just as the Heavenly clan often disliked the Demon clan, the Demon clan had never held a favorable impression of the Heavenly clan either.
If he didn't truly need the other's assistance, he, Qianmo Xiechong, would absolutely not cooperate with the Heavenly clan.
Facing Qianmo Xiechong’s sarcasm, Potian did not get angry, but instead changed the subject and praised him bluntly:
"Lord Xiechong, did you know, your Demon Lord is truly remarkable~"
"Even that Immortal Ancestor of the Dao Immortal Clan, who was in seclusion for over a thousand years, was no match for him."
"It is said that Immortal Ancestor was an existence who had half a foot in the Transcendent Immortal Realm…!"
"If even he was no match for the Demon Lord, how can your Qianmo clan possibly fight against him~?"
"Hmph! That is none of your business!"
"Since when did the Heavenly clan care so much about the affairs of my Demon clan!"
Hearing the other party mention the Demon Lord again and again, his words full of praise for Ning Yechen, Qianmo Xiechong retorted, his face ashen with anger.
Although he had sternly refuted the other party with his words, Qianmo Xiechong’s heart was filled with growing worry and shock.
An expert half a step into the Transcendent Immortal Realm was no match for that Demon Lord…!
The Qianmo clan didn't stand a chance at all!
Potian could see the worry and unwillingness in Qianmo Xiechong’s heart at a glance. The corners of his mouth secretly curved up slightly as he continued:
"Lord Xiechong need not worry too much, you still have me~"
"We are partners, after all~!"
"As long as you agree to help me with one thing, perhaps I can persuade my father to take action…"
"And kill that Demon Lord for you!"
"In any case, I'm going to kill him sooner or later anyway!"
"You and I have aligned interests~"
Hearing this, Qianmo Xiechong’s expression was moved.
With his son Qianmo Xieyu’s current cultivation at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, he was absolutely no match for the Demon Lord.
But if Potian’s father were to take action, then perhaps it would truly be possible!
"Speak!"
"What do you want me to do for you?"
Qianmo Xiechong asked.
"You should have also heard the news that the Demon Lord returned to the Demon Realm with his wife and child, right?"
"I want you to bring that bitch and her bastard child back to me!!"
"I want both the child and the woman alive!"
In the darkness, a fierce and cruel glint appeared in Potian’s eyes.
"You want the Demon Lord's woman and child?"
Qianmo Xiechong asked in confusion.
To go to such great lengths, and even specially come to the Demon Realm to entrust this to him, was all just for a woman and a child…?
Potian nodded, gritting his teeth as he said:
"That's right!"
"But she is not his woman, she is my woman!"
"That damn bitch…!!"
"To dare to betray me!"
"I've changed my mind. If I just let her die like that, it would be too much of a pity!"
Hearing these slanderous words against Luo Ruying, Qianmo Xieyu’s brows narrowed slightly, and he secretly watched the figure with a cold gaze.
Qianmo Xiechong, however, was completely bewildered by what he heard.
It seemed there was some kind of relationship between Potian and this Madam of the Demon Realm…
It was said that the Madam of the Demon Realm was also from a Heavenly clan…
This is truly interesting…!
But he didn't care either.
Compared to defeating the Demon Lord, although taking away a woman and child was also very difficult, it wasn't impossible!
As long as he could get the support of the faction behind Potian, he wouldn't have to worry even when facing the Demon Lord!
"Alright!"
"I agree!"
Qianmo Xiechong thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
"The correct choice~"
"I will leave some of my people behind to assist you."
Potian smiled with satisfaction, beckoned with his hand, and dozens of cloaked guards appeared behind him.
These were all his personal guards and attendants, and among them were even two of his Dao Protectors!
With the addition of the Qianmo clan's assistance, he refused to believe that he still couldn't bring that bitch and her bastard child back this time!
I truly look forward to the time when I meet her again…!
A lewd smile appeared at the corners of Potian’s mouth, and he asked again:
"By the way, Lord Xiechong, what was the name of that aphrodisiac poison you gave me last time?"
"Are you talking about the Thousand Demon Aphrodisiac Poison?"
"Yes, that's the one! It's very effective~"
"I am very satisfied!"
"Please trouble yourself to prepare some more for me later, I have a use for it~"
"Once that woman is captured, I still have unfinished business to attend to with her~! Hahaha~!”
"'I will quietly await your good news~'"
After speaking, Potian let out a lewd laugh, turned, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
He could no longer wait for the time when he would see her again!
The Luo Shen Empress!
"Hmph, to think a dignified son of the Divine Realm has such a taste…"
Qianmo Xiechong scoffed secretly in his heart, then led Qianmo Xieyu and his followers away from the forest.
The entire forest fell into a pitch-black silence.
And in this deathly silent, pitch-black forest, a black shadow slowly emerged from the shadows on the ground, and then quietly submerged back into the shadows and vanished…
