I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 56 - 54: The Divine Blood Heir from Decades Ago; Demon Hunter General’s Enlightenment and the Dao Path of the Great Innate
Pei Nanbei heard the words of Song Chai Xin.
He nodded slightly, without expressing any objection.
"Then, it’s settled."
In fact, no matter what choice he made.
For Pei Nanbei, it was the same.
And on one side, Demon Hunter General Ye Cang, the sharpness in his eyes had not yet faded.
However, when he recalled the person represented by that statue in the center of the Martial Temple,
he felt relieved.
The Great Zhao Demon Hunting Department, whether it is the Demon Hunter General, City Demon Hunter, or the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Demon Hunting Patrols corresponding to the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth Grades.
Which one does not revere that person as if worshipping a god?
The true image may no longer be traceable.
But the records engraved in various sects and government offices had long elevated the status of that ’Great Demon Hunter Master’ to an extremely sacred and glorious level.
Without the Empress,
who else but him?
As the sword-carrying maid of the ’Great Demon Hunter Master’ back then, Pei Nanbei’s experience undoubtedly made her much older than a second-generation Demon Hunter General like him, and her ties with that figure naturally ran deeper.
In this light,
no matter what gift this young man received from the Great Demon Hunter Master, with a State Lord to vouch for him and the denial of the Martial Temple’s will, even if he is a Half-Demon, what of it?
As long as it is not a trace of Demon Suppression Dao Qi, no one can touch him!
The Demon Suppression Dao Qi relies on slaying demons and exorcising devils, and gathering dusk energy to strengthen the Dao Breath, thus deducing the Spiritual Body, Profound Body, and Royal-Level Physique. How could the Great Demon Hunter Master pass Dao Qi to a Half-Demon?
That is clearly impossible.
Ye Cang shook his head, cutting off his thoughts.
"I wonder why the State Lord and the Demon Hunter General... don’t see Lord Bai’s presence at the Government Office?"
With his career discussions coming to an end and the crisis from the Martial Temple temporarily resolved, having buried his greatest secret, Song Chai Xin couldn’t help but feel elated for a moment.
Yet he had not forgotten Lu Miaomiao’s words.
The Female Leader of Changle District in the Divine Capital had solved his confusion, and thus the additional message she sent was also etched in Song Chai Xin’s heart.
It’s just that he didn’t see Bai Qiuyi and Jiang Yi yesterday, and by chance, two powerhouses of Baoping State stood before him, so he curiously asked.
Wutong Prefecture Venerable, Bai Qiuyi.
Upon hearing this name, Pei Nanbei’s eyes chilled, and Ye Cang, the Demon Hunter General on the side, instantly became indifferent:
"Didn’t see?"
"It’s just right that you didn’t see him."
Ye Cang’s fist clenched with a ’crack’, and with just a slight leak of his qi and blood, it was as if Song Chai Xin became a leaf-boat in a stormy sea, seemingly about to capsize at any moment.
Noticing his own gaffe, Ye Cang restrained his power, then looked out the window, his eyes revealing surging killing intent:
"The Bai Prefecture Venerable, Bai Qiuyi, you’re talking about is, in fact, the remnant swept into the dustbin of history when the current Great Zhao was established decades ago."
"Decades ago, the Jianghu, the noble families, the demons, and the Divine Blood, were the actual rulers of the Northwest Land."
"Among them, the so-called Divine Blood are ’Half-Demons’ like you."
"Now you understand why the world is resistant to Half-Demons, don’t you?"
"It’s just that the so-called Divine Blood now deemed as tainted blood are far more formidable than you, Half-Demon."
"The original Divine Blood Nobility can no longer be traced."
"But such things, using ’Demon Bloodline’ as a catalyst, combined with unique physiques like ’Saint, King, Profound, Spiritual’, fused and refined over generations, emerged as these mongrels."
"They do not intermarry with outsiders or demons, maintaining their pure heritage and bloodline with several castes."
"At the height of their development, they possess the special physique, magical powers, and perceptiveness of human cultivators, while concurrently harboring various incredible powers of demons."
"Therefore, decades ago, demons roamed the wild, crisscrossing rivers and mountains, the Divine Blood akin to dukes and marquises, sharing national destiny with worldly emperors!"
"Even the royal family could only intermarry with said ’Divine Blood’ branches, overshadowing the aristocratic families of the Jianghu, imagine to what extent it reached!"
"But later, with the emergence of the Empress of Great Zhao and the Great Demon Hunter Master, these Divine Blood castes were eradicated in a single sweep, only a centipede that dies but does not stiffen."
"This Bai Qiuyi... is a descendant of the Bai family, who fused with ’Dragon Blood’ and ’Profound Body’, after losing power, belongs to the Jing River branch, colluding with Jing River Dragon Court!"
"Come to think of it, you should be credited for this."
At this point, Ye Cang glanced at Song Chai Xin, slightly restraining his killing intent. While sighing internally, he truly felt that reality can be stranger than fiction.
If not for this kid’s significant act in the Divine Capital, startling the will of the Martial Temple, which left the Martial Temple Sacrificial Officer Ge Xiu unsure, leading him to summon both himself and the Master of Baoping State, Pei Nanbei’s Divine Thought,
This Wutong Prefecture...
Might have met its downfall!
The Prefecture Venerable, by position, need not travel to Baoping State, because Lady Pei Nanbei usually doesn’t concern herself with such matters.
This Bai Qiuyi, after years of establishment, introduced tainted blood into Wutong Prefecture, reaching the third step Elder level, relying on their presence and the leftover traces before they vacated...
Was nearly double-digit in number!
If he and Pei Nanbei hadn’t reached the fourth step and stayed in this area for most of the day, they would have noticed the flaw.
It was likely that Bai Qiuyi would continue to be audacious, daring to linger even longer!
This secret, akin to ’a stone-cold shock’, caused Song Chai Xin’s eyes to widen in disbelief.
So...
It was all because of me?
No wonder, while on the way to the Demon Hunting Department yesterday, he detected so much strange and dense ’dusk energy’ near the Prefecture Government Office.
Turns out the causal relationship stems from this!
However, speaking of which,
Does Jiang Yi know that he is involved with the tainted blood that the Great Zhao is purging?
If he doesn’t know, wouldn’t Bai Qiuyi have led him into a trap!
Recalling the approving look in that Prefecture Venerable’s eyes, Song Chai Xin felt a cold sweat down his back.
Luckily, he refused quickly.
Otherwise, being a ’Half-Demon’ himself, already an awkward identity.
If further entangled with the so-called ’tainted blood’...
Let alone the Master of Baoping State and Demon Hunter General, even if the Heavenly King arrived, they probably couldn’t protect him.
An origin like this can barely be explained.
But if intentionally collaborated...
Who would believe him blameless in his life?
It’s feared he couldn’t clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
"By the way, be more careful in the future."
"I’ve already dispatched people, deploying the City Demon Hunter from a nearby prefecture city, to lead the patrols along the traces, to capture that Bai Qiuyi."
"Though he concentrated so much manpower in the Wutong Prefecture, his intentions were certainly not small."
"Having disrupted his plans, in the future, you’re bound to..."
Ye Cang hinted.
Upon hearing this, Song Chai Xin felt a lump in his throat.
This...
Truly, the overwhelming force descended upon him, allowing him no escape!
A calamity befalling out of nowhere!
"Well... speaking of which, you seem to have suffered some loss too."
"Since descending from the Ancient Path of Reception, continuously opening nine apertures, your Leakless Vajra Body appears somewhat unstable. How about this, I will personally take action and give you a ’sermon’, to solidify your foundation!"
"Moreover, if you have any confusion about the ’Great Innate Realm’..."
"I can explain and elucidate for you."
"As for the cultivation resources needed thereafter... you’ll have to rely on your position to figure it out for yourself."
Prior to arriving, Ye Cang had looked into Song Chai Xin’s history, aware that this unfortunate child’s life had been fraught with adversity.
Coupled with the records in the Demon Hunting Department files, he had repeatedly made contributions to the department, considered a direct line of Wutong Prefecture, thus in his compassion, he intended to offer his support.
Instantly, Song Chai Xin’s eyes brightened, joyfully saluting with clasped fists.
Regarding post-Great Innate Realm cultivation and thresholds, and how to break through, how to measure superiority, he was as if viewing flowers in the mist.
He originally planned, after being appointed to the Seventh-Grade Guardian position, to return to the Xie Mansion to consult with Xie Qiaoxuan.
However...
To hear the teachings directly from a fourth-step Half-Immortal, reputed to have ’white hair turning into black hair’, slaying the Red Dragon and taming the White Tiger, embarking from a Martial Artist towards longevity and eternal life, and to consume magical power for a ’sermon’!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be bought for a thousand gold!
Must treasure it and listen attentively.
...
At the same time.
