Chapter 940: Blood Parasite
"It’s over, Supreme Elder. Just give up," said Wu Zhou.
These words echo in the ears of the Supreme Elder. The person cannot accept it and even questioned reality for this defeat. He was obviously winning and just a bit more he can definitely take over the Black Cloud Academy. He pushed down Wu Yao even selling half of the academy just to make sure Wu Yao would fall without any traces falling onto him after all, the Everlasting Moon Empire had decreed that Wu Yao must not be killed or whoever do such a thing would be the enemy of the Yue Clan.
The Blood Seed Poison is almost untraceable as it merges with blood upon contact with the target’s body. It would become a part of the target’s blood and would run in his system naturally so that it wouldn’t be found out as a poison. Instead it would slowly affect the target’s mind and body until the person becomes a madman. This is an exclusive poison from the Blood Sea Empire and something that cannot be bought by money.
"Even if you defeated me, I had already sold half of everything this academy has to the Blood Sea Emperor! Sooner or later, they would come for the lives in it. None of you can escape! Hahaha~" the Supreme Elder laughed like a madman.
On the other hand, the moment the Blood Sea Emperor was mentioned, the indifference of the Immortal Sun Emperor had changed into a frown. Thinking of something, Shen Jueyang approached the supreme elder when with a single slash of his sword, the clothing of the old man had been shred to pieces exposing his skin to the air. The others are surprised as they didn’t know why this senior was doing this until they had seen a living blood moving around the heart of the old man. Based on its movement it seems to be devouring this man’s blood and flesh. There is a Blood Parasite on his chest breathing and beating in the movement of the heart. Everyone else was terrified by the scene except the Immortal Sun Emperor.
"This is..."
"Is that thing alive?"
"It’s moving and beating."
"Is that a heart?"
"No it doesn’t seem so..."
Someone tried to stop it, but his hand was hit by someone’s sword and had to retract their hands. The one who hit him was none other than the Immortal Sun Emperor who had a serious expression on his face while staring at the Supreme Elder’s chest.
"Lord Shen, what is this thing!?" Wu Zhou asked.
Shen Jueyang frowned and said, "Move back. This is a Blood Parasite. A sinister parasite that will not its host body unless it has drained its flesh and blood. It seems this old thing truly had a connection to the Blood Sea Tribe. If the contract he mentioned is not fake then those from the blood sea would come for the academy. The Ruler of the Blood Sea is also an Emperor Realm cultivator and he is not human."
"Hahaha~ that’s right. He is not human! I’ve sold half of his academy to him. This meant half of the lives in this academy was his. His to control or destroy!" said the dying supreme elder.
Before everyone’s eyes the supreme elder was shrinking as if something was devouring him from the inside but they all know that the real culprit of this situation was none other than that parasite on his chest. Shen Jueyang noticed the intent of the parasite to find another host and his eyes narrowed dangerously. Just after the body of the supreme elder was left entire with just bones and skin, the Immortal Sun Emperor made a move.
He pulled his sword and stabbed through the blood parasite that looked like a red alien flesh insect. He was merciless when he had stabbed it and a crying sound made of something like a distorted voice echoes in the whole area. Those who failed to protect their ears at that moment had suffered eardrum rupture,
SHRIEKS~
Wu Zhou covered his ears and cursed, "What the hell!?"
Shen Jueyang was unharmed as such a thing never harmed him before with a twist of his sword, the blood parasite was suddenly burned with a crimson gold flame that instantly turned the blood parasite into ashes. Once nothing is left of the blood parasite and the human called supreme elder remained that he had sheathed his sword.
The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Alright. This faction war is over. You handle the cleaning yourself. I’m going to find Xue’er." He left without waiting for everyone’s response and no one had stopped him. He is a senior whose actions were never controlled by them.
Staring at the now ashes supreme elder, Wu Zhou turned his head to the vice-principal who had fainted with a bleeding nose and a pair of ears. With a light kick he woke up the vice principal. Unlike his arrogant persona from before everything that had happened in the principal’s office to the gruesome death of the supreme elder, the vice-principal had witnessed it all and was terrified by it.
"Principal, save me. I don’t want to die. Please remove this on me. I also have the same thing the supreme elder has!" The vice-principal pleads even crawling to try and hug the thigh of Wu Zhou only to be avoided.
Who would let someone with the same parasite as that supreme elder to have direct contact with them after witnessing such a tragic death of the elder one. This is something that right now they don’t dare to touch at all.
With a dark expression on his face, Wu Zhou commanded, "Restrain him. Don’t touch him directly. Bring him back. I will ask my brother’s disciple what to do after this. The rest of you start the clean up. Those that surrendered let them leave. Those who had done unforgivable things, erase them. After that started the renovation of the whole academy. Three days after school will resume."
"Yes, principal!"
Back at the main peak, Shen Jueyang immediately looked for Yue Xuexia who was in the backyard heating from medicine for his teacher while napping at the rocking chair. In the territory of her master, Yue Xuexia chose not to hide her face behind the veil even more so in front of Shen Jueyang. Once her master is awake, she is willing to show her real appearance to her master’s family.
Yue Xuexia, who had her face hidden under a straw hat, lifted the hat and looked at Shen Jueyang, who had just arrived.
"You’re back. Is everything over?" The Moon Goddess asked.
The Immortal Sun Emperor took over the job of fanning the medicine over the fire and was even willing to crouch near the fire.
He said, "The thing on the surface is over. Something else unexpected was involved."
"Something that can make even you look serious. Another emperor? Who was it?" Yue Xuexia asked.
Shen Jueyang said, "The ruler of the Blood Sea."
"Is he stronger than you?" Yue Xuexia nonchalantly asked.
A rare arrogant smile appeared on his face which is rare, "A mere sea monster that reached the emperor ’s realm and had never even once come out of the sea was something I won’t need to fear, nor is it something you should worry about. As long as I am alive, no one shall be able to harm you. In this lifetime, I promise you this."
He reached out Yue Xuexia’s hand and lightly kissed the back of Yue Xuexia’s hand and then looked at her with affection that never appeared on his face in their previous life. For the first time, even though it was only for a split second, a smile appeared on Yue Xuexia’s expressionless face. This caught Shen Jueyang off guard that he immediately stood up with a rare shocked expression on his handsome face.
Yue Xuexia was startled that her smile instantly faded and returned to its expressionless state. Looking worried at Shen Jueyang, the Moon Goddess reached out a hand to check his temperature but touched his forehead.
She asked, "Are you alright, Jueyang? Suddenly standing up like that, is there something wrong?"
Feeling the soft yet slightly cold hand of the Moon Goddess on his forehead, Shen Jueyang uncontrollably blushed. The closer and longer contact he had with Yue Xuexia the more his heart beat faster and beyond his control.
Yue Xuexia who noticed the reddish area on Shen Jueyang’s neck felt that something was wrong with him and was about to bump forehead with him to check the temperature closer yet it just made Shen Jueyang almost out of control and trying his hardest not to pull the innocent flower approaching him so close that they can almost kiss as long as he leans down.
The Immortal Sun Emperor can even hear his heartbeat ringing near his ears yet the face of the Moon Goddess becomes even more vivid especially staring at those crimson soft looking lips.
Gulps~
Just as Shen Jueyang was about to move, a puppet maid came over with an urgent report.
"Mistress, Master Wu Yao has woken up."
Yue Xuexia immediately turned her head to the source of the voice and said, "Bring the medicine over."
Then she looked at Shen Jueyang and used Sacred Healing on him before saying, "Your state is normal but just in case I’ve used Sacred Healing. Have a rest Jueyang, I need to check on Master."
Sigh~
"Alright. Go ahead," The Immortal Sun Emperor said.
Yue Xuexia nods her head and returns to the mansion to check on her master. Only when she is no longer around that, Shen Jueyang fell seated squatting on the ground covering his face with both his hands.
He murmurs, "Fuck! I almost couldn’t hold back."
