    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions


    When everyone saw Fang Zhengzhi face nt into the ground, there was only one thought running through their minds.


    "He fainted?!"


    "Fang Zhengzhi... fainted?!"


    All of them could not understand what was going on. It felt as though they had ordered a hooker only to find out that the hooker was a guy!


    This was...


    Completely inexplicable.


    Wasn’t he supposed to kill off the young master of the Demons? Wasn’t he supposed to save them from destruction? Most importantly, he had just broken through to the Supernatural State!


    Limitless glory and fame were ripe for the picking. All he needed to do was reach out and take it.


    Everything would have been resolved.


    But...


    Fang Zhengzhi fainting had thrown a spanner in the works.


    Could he still live?


    When they saw Fang Zhengzhi’s wound heal, almost everyone thought that his life was guaranteed. After all, if he could go up against a Rebirth State Demon as a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator...


    His powers as a Supernatural State cultivator were unimaginable.


    Without thinking about anything else...


    Staying alive!


    Should not have been a huge problem.


    But what now?


    Bai Xing’s eyes were exploding with a bright starry light. He had been suppressing his rage and terror all this while.


    But, when he saw what happened to Fang Zhengzhi, he let it all out.


    He had never believed in luck. However, when he saw Fang Zhengzhi faint in such a mysterious manner, he had a feeling.


    Perhaps...


    He was a lucky demon after all.


    It wasn’t just Bai Xing. Even Wu Ji and the dozens of demon elites had the same feeling. They saw a glimmer of hope.


    The person who had been humiliating their young master had just fainted to the ground!


    Most importantly, that human was a talent.


    Someone who was so ridiculously talented that he could break through to the Supernatural State at 16.


    "Kill!" Bai Xing’s eyes were red with excitement and fury. If not for the fact that he was surrounded by so many others, he would have wept tears of joy.


    This was awesome!


    That b*stard fainted!


    Kill him quickly!


    This was what Bai Xing, Wu Ji, and all the other demon elites thought. All of them unsheathed their des and rushed towards the cliff.


    On the cliff, the rain continued to beat down on Yun Qingwu.


    Her chest and waist were still warm from Fang Zhengzhi’s touch. She was still blushing from the humiliation.


    Shameless, shameless, shameless!


    She kept repeating these words in her heart.


    But now, she did not need to continue thinking about this. Fang Zhengzhi had fainted. He was now at her mercy.


    Comically, thismb had just been holding on to her for support moments ago. He had also tried to ask for a deal and medicine.


    Now...


    How was she going to kill him?


    Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi’s hands. The first thing she wanted to do was cut off his hands.


    These hands had taken off her veil more than once. Furthermore, he had done so in front of so many people!


    Then, she would gouge his eyes out!


    Those eyes had seen her too many times, she had to gouge them out.


    Those were the first thoughts in Yun Qingwu’s mind. However, another thought entered her mind just as quickly.


    No!


    She had already promised him that she would not kill him or hunt him down whilst he was still in the Southern Region. This was a matter of honor.


    Most importantly...


    He did not kill her!


    Yun Qingwu rarely hesitated, but she hesitated this time. On one hand, she felt that she had to take this opportunity to kill Fang Zhengzhi.


    However, she reminded herself that her life was once in Fang Zhengzhi’s hands. Fang Zhengzhi had not killed her then. If she were to take advantage of the situation and kill Fang Zhengzhi now...


    Then...


    She would me herself for the rest of her life.


    "I had sworn on this, I must keep my promise!"


    "But, I can’t let him off... if I let him off now, I may not have such a good opportunity in the future. He is too dangerous. Furthermore, he has humiliated me, I can’t let him live!"


    "What should I do?"


    Yun Qingwu clenched and unclenched her fists repeatedly, her eyes glimmering. She stared at Fang Zhengzhi, her breathing intensifying.


    "Young master!"


    "Young master, are you alright?"


    "Young master, leave Fang Zhengzhi to us!"


    Just as Yun Qingwu hesitated, figures appeared next to her. Bai Xing, Wu Ji, and the demon elites turned to Yun Qingwu.


    They were no longer anxious or terrified.


    All of the demons were excited and joyous. They had been thrown a lifeline.


    "Fang Zhengzhi... prepare to meet your maker!" Bai Xing raised his hand, a silver ray of light in his palm.


    "Hold it!" Yun Qingwu’s voice rang out at that moment.


    "Young master?" Bai Xing’s hand stopped in mid-air, the silver ray of light preparing to hit Fang Zhengzhi.


    "Let him go." Yun Qingwu ordered.


    "Why? Young master!" Bai Xing’s expression was filled with doubt. This was the first time he had questioned orders from Yun Qingwu.


    "I said let him go!" Yun Qingwu’s tone was icy.


    "Young master, I have never questioned your orders, but this time... you must give me a reason!" Bai Xing’s gaze froze.


    "Are you going against my orders?"


    "I do not dare. I know the consequences of insubordination. However, I am willing to give up my life to take his!" Bai Xing’s eyes were filled with determination.


    "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 te 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 be the young master of the demons at the age of 10. She was not particrly 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 yearster...


    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 particrly 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 aplish 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 fourrgest 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.
