Chapter 670 Sword Spirit
Chu Feixue was startled: "Your Majesty, are you going to deal with Senior Brother Chonghua?"
If he wanted to harm his senior brother, he absolutely couldn't say it!
The Demon King looked down at her condescendingly, "I promised the Demon Queen that after the wedding, I would hand over the person who betrayed her to her to deal with."
Chu Feixue was shocked: "Your Majesty, how can you, the dignified Demon Emperor, break your promise?"
The Demon Emperor's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Oh? I don't remember what I promised you?"
Chu Feixue stammered, "You promised that if I helped you get that demoness, you would find a way to make my relationship with my senior brother happen..."
The Demon Emperor snorted coldly: "I adopted your plan, but now, my Demon Queen has escaped! She has vanished without a trace, surrounded by my Spirit-Locking Maze and 20,000 demon soldiers!"
Chu Feixue stared in disbelief, dumbfounded: "They ran away? Could it be..."
"What is it?"
The Demon Emperor leaned down, staring intently at her with eyes like a hunter locking onto its prey, his voice as soft as a whisper, "True Lord Chonghua has arrived, hasn't he?"
Chu Feixue's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her face pale. "I...I don't know..."
A playful glint appeared on the Demon Emperor's lips, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. "He's here, isn't that perfect? How about I capture True Monarch Chonghua and hand him over to you for disposal?"
Chu Feixue suddenly looked up, her eyes burning with desire, "Really?"
The Demon Emperor leaned back on his throne, looking at her with a half-smile, "It all depends on whether Fairy Chu wants to make amends."
Chu Feixue's lips turned pale; this was probably her best chance to win over her senior brother!
She finally made up her mind, looked up and stared directly at the Demon Emperor, her eyes filled with a desperate ruthlessness.
"Senior Brother Chonghua's natal sword is named Taixu. It was forged from meteorite iron from the Taixu Secret Realm and has the ability to tear through space. When he achieves mastery of swordsmanship in the future, he will be able to draw upon the power of Taixu to banish his opponents to the endless void!"
The Demon Emperor suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"
No wonder there was always a trace of void power whenever Jiang Li disappeared; it turns out that the Taixu Sword was the culprit!
"Has his Taixu Sword already developed a sword spirit?" the Demon Emperor continued to press.
Chu Feixue nodded: "When Senior Brother formed his Golden Core, the Taixu Sword already had a spirit. After he becomes an Infant, the sword spirit will probably be able to manifest."
The Demon Emperor frowned deeply. No wonder a sword spirit that could freely traverse the void could take Jiang Li away unnoticed amidst a heavy encirclement!
He's using a void passage; even if all 100,000 demon soldiers were deployed, they couldn't trap him!
Chu Feixue bit her lip and mustered her courage to say, "Your Majesty, after my senior brother and I become Daoist partners, may we leave?"
The Demon Emperor's lips curled slightly: "What, you still want to return to the Sword Sect?"
Chu Feixue lowered her eyes, "We both grew up in the Sword Sect since childhood, and the Sword Sect is like our home..."
The Demon Emperor laughed heartily, "Could it be that Fairy Chu is unaware? You and your master are no longer disciples of the Sword Sect!"
Chu Feixue's eyes widened suddenly: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
"The Sword Sect has issued a decree, announcing to the world that you and True Monarch Ling Shuang have been officially expelled from the sect!"
"what?!"
Chu Feixue was struck dumb, her face filled with disbelief.
"No, no, my master is a Nascent Soul True Monarch!"
Which sect would expel a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch from its ranks?
The Demon Emperor tossed her a document, saying, "Read it yourself."
Chu Feixue took it with trembling hands and unfolded it to take a look.
This is the cloud-patterned jade paper used by the Sword Sect to write important documents. It clearly states, "...True Monarch Ling Shuang protected his disciple, colluded with the demon race, and plotted to harm his fellow disciples. His disciple, Chu Feixue, for her own selfish reasons, instigated the Demon Emperor, intending to provoke a conflict between the two races..."
"...The two have committed despicable acts that have tarnished the reputation of our Sword Sect. From this day forward, they are expelled from the sect, stripped of their membership, and are no longer permitted to identify themselves as disciples of the Sword Sect!"
In addition to the sect's golden seal, the signature also includes the spirit seals of the sect leader, Lingxu Zhenjun, and the Supreme Elder, Ziyang Sword Master!
Chu Feixue's face turned deathly pale, and she collapsed to the ground.
She can never go back!
It even implicated his master, who was expelled from the sect!
How can a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch face his fellow cultivators after suffering such a humiliating disgrace? How can he maintain his standing in the Heavenly Flame Realm?
"Master, it is your disciple who has dragged you into this..."
Chu Feixue burst into tears.
She crawled to the Demon Emperor's throne, her expression urgent. "Your Majesty, how is my master? Where is she now?"
The Demon Emperor smiled calmly and said, "Your master, feeling ashamed and indignant, has left the human territory and entered the demon realm."
"My master has arrived?"
Chu Feixue was filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy. "Your Majesty, I have a request. May I bring my master here?"
The Demon Emperor said calmly, "The Demon Realm is the location of the Demon Clan's imperial city. No one but nobles is allowed to enter, let alone humans."
Chu Feixue was taken aback: "Then I..."
"The Demon Emperor Token you possess is a gift from me to your master in gratitude for her great help to me back then. With this token, you may meet with me and make a request."
"You've already used this token."
Chu Feixue was stunned for a long time, then cried out, "Your Majesty, but I also helped you!"
The Demon Emperor scoffed, "What I hate most in my life are humans like you who take advantage of kindness! I have already repaid your master's kindness. Your agreement with me was nothing but a transaction. Once the transaction is complete, we are even."
He said coldly, "If I can't find my Empress, think carefully about what price you're willing to pay."
Chu Feixue returned to the side hall, dejected and distraught.
The Demon Emperor leaned back on his throne, his knuckles tapping absently on the table, his brows furrowed.
After a moment, he instructed the guards outside the hall: "Issue a warrant throughout the entire Demon Realm: Sword Sect True Monarch Chonghua is despicable, shameless, and insane; he has abducted my demon clan's heir! Anyone who can capture him alive and return him to the Demon Clan will be appointed as the Imperial Preceptor; anyone who provides clues will also be richly rewarded!"
"Yes! We will obey Your Majesty's command!" the guard replied.
"Summon the left and right guardians."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Yingzhe and Qiongqi came to see the Demon Emperor.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Do any of you have a way to enter the void?" the Demon Emperor asked.
Both Yingzhe and Qiongqi showed signs of difficulty.
"Your Majesty, the void is a boundless and chaotic land, filled with spatial storms and void turbulence. I'm afraid that once you enter, you'll be torn to pieces."
The Demon Emperor frowned deeply: "That's strange. How could True Monarch Chonghua enter the void?"
Ying Zhe said, "I have heard that True Monarch Chonghua is born with sword bones and can become one with his sword after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, transforming into sword light. Perhaps in this way, one can enter and exit the void without any injury."
The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow: "Born with sword bones? No wonder."
Qiongqi raised an eyebrow: "Does Your Majesty mean that it was True Lord Chonghua who abducted Her Highness the Demon Queen through the void passage?"
The Demon Emperor nodded slightly: "That should be so."
Qiongqi asked again, "But Her Highness the Demon Queen wasn't born with sword bones, so how could she enter the void?"
Ying Zhe said, "Perhaps, True Monarch Chonghua has a small space that can hold people."
The Demon Emperor nodded: "That makes sense."
His brows furrowed. With this Taixu Sword Spirit, wouldn't True Monarch Chonghua be able to come and go freely in the Demon Realm?
We must find a way to enter the void in order to stop him!
