Chapter 1480 - 540: A Different Kind of Love
But, doesn’t something seem off?
If it had been Qin Xiaochuan, he would likely have already jumped out to stop those demon soldiers.
Fortunately, Wuyue is here with Di Shen.
Wuyue is very calm, although she is anxious, she looks over at her Sixth Brother.
Sixth Brother appears calm and unfazed even in face of a collapsing mountain.
This is where things seem off, knowing Sixth Brother’s personality, anything involving Sixth Sister-in-law would turn him from the Emperor of Calm into the Volcano Emperor. Yet today, such a huge ambush, Di Shen doesn’t even bat an eyelid, instead repeatedly appraising the Golden Horn Demon King.
The Golden Horn Demon King hasn’t noticed Di Shen and Wuyue’s presence, he probably never expected anyone to venture into his territory.
For an average Human Warrior, discovering the Demon Clan is difficult.
But for Di Shen, who is the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor, it’s a piece of cake.
After entering the Central Plains region, Di Shen just needs a sweep of his Demon Sense to accurately pinpoint the distribution of various demon beasts.
Only against a Demon Clan of similar strength would truly be a match.
Not until the Golden Horn Demon King with his subordinates vanished into the endless night, did Di Shen retract his gaze.
Actually, Di Shen was calculating that since the Golden Horn Demon King looks strong, if he slays the guy and refines his Demon Core to make a Demon Essence Pill for his wife, it should boost her power significantly.
"Sixth Brother?"
Wuyue was startled, she suddenly saw a blatant hunger in her Sixth Brother’s eyes.
"Fifth Sister, I’m listening. This isn’t urgent, my wife asked us to inform the City Lord and report to the Jiu Provinces Alliance after three days."
Di Shen handed over the Phoenix Token, accurately informing Ye Lingyue of his observations and the number of demon soldiers.
"Three days later? By then, even the pickles will be cold. You must know that Sister-in-law’s team only has eleven people, even with another team, it’s barely over twenty. This isn’t simply hitting an egg against a stone wall."
Wuyue couldn’t fathom it.
"My wife has the ability to turn ruin into wonder, how she says it, we do it."
Di Shen spreads his hands, leaving Wuyue speechless.
She knows well that the tacit understanding between Di Shen and Ye Lingyue formed over years through several life-and-death experiences.
At times like this, their relationship far exceeds that of most couples.
This particular understanding makes Wuyue envy their relationship, wondering when she’ll meet her other half.
Thinking about this, Wuyue felt bitterness.
Having entered the Central Plains for a month now, she still hadn’t a trace of the demon beast that killed her parents years ago.
Despite Sixth Sister-in-law administering acupuncture before they set out, issues with her Dantian seem to be reoccurring.
While others gained strength after arriving at the Ancient Nine Provinces, she has stagnated without improvement.
At this rate, she’ll soon be useless like a waste.
The change in Wuyue’s expression was observed by Di Shen.
"Fifth Sister, you’re thinking about your enemies again. By the way, did you get any clues from the master?"
The former life of the Demon Ancestor had Yan Jiu alone as a friend, but this life and meeting Ye Lingyue shattered the ice within Di Shen’s heart, accepting Qin Xiaochuan and Wuyue as siblings and sister.
Wuyue is strong-willed like his wife, yet his wife is more optimistic, part of it due to Fifth Sister’s unresolved Dantian issue.
"Very few useful clues, Master wasn’t there at the time. All he knows is that the ones who killed my parents were active in the Central Plains region, probably Northeast of it."
Wuyue’s parents were the same sect as Master Wuya, both remarkable at Lonely Moon Sea, they became partners shortly afterward and entered the Ancient Nine Provinces, participating in the Wild Hunt.
However, during the hunt, her mother became pregnant, and when nearing labor, faced a formidable foe.
Wuyue’s father was slain on the spot.
Wuyue’s mother held on for her child, feigned death to escape the peril.
She crawled out from the pile of dead bodies, rescued by the arriving Sect Leader Wuya, sadly passing away after Wuyue’s birth.
"Usually, the domain awareness of demon beasts is stronger than that of the Human Clan; unless there’s a major change, they won’t leave their domains on their own. I think if you want to find the real culprit who killed your parents, you should start from the Northeast direction."
Di Shen’s demonic power began to slowly recover after entering the Central Plains, becoming well-versed with demon habits.
His suggestion reminded Wuyue.
"Sixth Brother, you’re right, I cannot sit idly. I plan to set out for the Northeast tomorrow to see if I can get any clues. You don’t need to come with me, you still need to watch over Sixth Sister-in-law and Fourth Brother’s matters."
Wuyue acknowledges Di Shen’s reasoning.
The Wuling Team had been split after entering the Central Plains, some ventured to the west, the domain of the Golden Horn Demon King where Di Shen and Wuyue currently are.
While others went east, under another Demon King’s influence.
"This..." Di Shen hesitated.
"Don’t hesitate any longer. Trust me, I won’t act recklessly, if I’m defeated I’ll run. If in real trouble, I’ll contact you."
Wuyue said heartily.
She also needed to emulate Sixth Sister-in-law, after all this way, Di Shen has been watching over her, continuing like this she couldn’t become an independant spy.
Seeing Wuyue’s persistence, Di Shen grudgingly had to comply due to his commitment to matters concerning Ye Lingyue.
Before dawn, Wuyue headed towards the Northeast part of the Central Plains, temporarily parting ways with Di Shen.
Now, in the jail in Fang Ah County.
The Huangquan Team members had been detained for two days, yet had not received instructions from Ye Lingyue.
The group was feeling uneasy.
Before dawn, Ye Lingyue suddenly rose.
"Everyone prepare, tonight or early tomorrow morning, our ’reinforcements’ will arrive."
A bright smile emerged on her darkened face, leaving everyone astonished, unclear about Ye Lingyue’s specific intentions.
Meanwhile, outside, Captain An stealthily monitored Ye Lingyue and her team’s actions.
Seeing the Huangquan Team showed no signs of disturbance over two days.
Eating when hungry and sleeping when tired, not a hint of discontent, they seemed content to remain imprisoned for long.
Captain An was puzzled, reporting Ye Lingyue’s team’s reactions to Master Chen.
"That Ye is probably still clinging to the dream of vindication. Indeed, women are just women, she probably only became City Lord thanks to Di Shen’s help, without a man she can’t accomplish anything." Master Chen remarked disdainfully.
