202: You have to learn to be cool

“Swish!”

Everyone's eyes simultaneously focused on Cao Nie, a mix of confusion, curiosity, and suspicion intermingling on their faces.

Night Youyou frowned, about to reprimand him, when Blood Nine had already darted in front of Cao Nie, exclaiming excitedly, “Sect Master, do you really have a way to cure my sister?”

Cao Nie nodded, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, “A mere Xuan Yin Magic Breath is not worth mentioning!”

“But you just now…”

Cao Nie raised a hand to interrupt, tilting his head forty-five degrees to the sky, and declared loudly, “If I didn’t let him make a move first, how could I show how formidable this Sect Master is?”

“Blood Nine, you still have much to learn about showing off.”

With that, he patted Blood Nine’s shoulder and strode towards the bed.

Blood Nine stood frozen in place, his mouth twitching wildly.

So, the Sect Master had deliberately refused his request just to show off.

So, whether he begged or not, the Sect Master would still make a move just to show off.

So, he was almost going to be hammered by his master for a lifetime…

Not just Blood Nine, everyone present looked at Cao Nie with strange expressions.

Regardless of whether Cao Nie could cure the Seventh Princess, he had undeniably put on a show.

However, whether this show was perfect or not would depend on his subsequent performance.

If he cured her, the show would be perfect.

If he failed, it would be a complete disaster.

“Do you really have a way?” Night Youyou subtly blocked Cao Nie’s path. She had no trust in strangers.

Cao Nie stood with his hands behind his back, nodding calmly, “This Sect Master tells you truthfully, only I can cure her illness.”

“What if you can’t cure her?” Night Youyou pressed, staring intently into his eyes.

Cao Nie pointed to the bloodstains on the ground, “If I can’t cure her, like him, blood will splatter three feet.”

“Why should this Princess believe you?” Night Youyou’s tone was icy.

Her daughter was already running out of time. If Cao Nie was as incompetent as Zhao Heng, he would not only fail to cure her daughter but also accelerate her death. At that time, killing Cao Nie would not even appease her hatred.

Just then, Blood Nine reacted and quickly rushed between the two, “Mother, trust me! I believe in the Sect Master, he will definitely cure my sister!”

Night Youyou frowned, “How long have you known this person to trust him so much?”

Blood Nine nodded emphatically, “I believe in the Sect Master.”

He looked at Cao Nie with complex eyes, “The Sect Master never leaves his show halfway. If he’s going to show off, he’ll make sure it’s earth-shattering and ghost-wailing.”

“But…”

Night Youyou wanted to say more but was interrupted by Blood Nine, whose eyes showed determination, “Mother, trust me this once, trust the Sect Master, and my sister’s illness will be cured.”

Night Youyou gave Cao Nie a deep look, and finally stepped aside.

Cao Nie’s gaze swept over her slender jade-like legs, a flicker of desire in his eyes.

Those jade-like legs were covered in demonic patterns, possessing a unique charm. Playing with them would surely be exciting.

Noticing this blatant gaze, Night Youyou’s expression turned cold. She subtly pulled her skirt to cover the patch of snow-white skin.

This lecher, as if he had never seen a woman before.

Blood Nine also noticed this scene, his face instantly darkening.

At a time like this, the Sect Master was actually still coveting his mother’s beauty?

He couldn't stand it anymore and quickly nudged Cao Nie, “Sect Master, my sister is dying.”

Cao Nie withdrew his gaze and smiled politely, “My apologies, my apologies.”

Upon hearing this, Night Youyou's anger flared even more.

This lecher, how dare he even say 'my apologies'?

That gaze just now looked like he wanted to pounce on her, hug her thighs, and lick them from bottom to top, sending shivers down her spine.

Blood Nine’s mouth twitched even more.

Damn, what kind of weird den was this Soul Refining Sect that he had to run into it?

Cao Nie was about to cast a spell when he suddenly looked at Blood Nine with displeasure, “Blood Nine, it’s better not to think about some things in front of me.”

There was a hidden meaning in his words, and Blood Nine’s expression instantly changed.

Could the Sect Master know what he was thinking?

As he was thinking, Cao Nie’s voice came again, “That’s right, I know everything.”

Blood Nine’s face changed again. He immediately thought of the Divine Demon Seal, his heart sinking. He instantly offered a fawning smile and raised his hand, “Sect Master, let’s save my sister first.”

As his voice fell, he quickly emptied his mind, not daring to think any more nonsense.

Cao Nie nodded and turned to look at the young girl on the bed.

He had to admit, the girl was too alluring, making him involuntarily react.

This scene was coincidentally seen by Blood Nine, who felt his vision go black.

It’s over, it’s over.

Not only did the Sect Master take a fancy to his mother, but he wouldn’t even let go of his sister?

How could this bastard be so lustful!

Suddenly, Cao Nie’s gaze swept over, making Blood Nine tremble all over. He quickly emptied his mind again.

Only then did Cao Nie turn around, raise his hand, and unleash a demonic energy, beginning the “difficult” treatment for Blood Li.

Although it was called treatment, in reality, he was absorbing and devouring the Xuan Yin Magic Breath from her body to strengthen his own cultivation.

The further one progressed in cultivation, the harder it was to break through.

Previously, he could advance a small realm in a month, but now, it might not even happen in half a year or even a year, unless he encountered a fortuitous opportunity.

And the Xuan Yin Magic Breath within Blood Li was his opportunity.

He had a premonition that after devouring this demonic breath, his cultivation would definitely break through.

This was also one of the reasons he didn't let Cao An make a move; he only gave things he coveted to Cao An and the others when he couldn't use them himself.

At this moment, a resonant voice came from outside the hall, “Concubine You, how is Li’er doing?”

“With that kid Zhao Heng making a move, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

“And Little Jiu, has he returned?”

Before his voice finished, a burly man wearing a demonic dragon robe walked into the hall.

Upon seeing him, everyone bowed, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

This burly man was none other than the Demon Emperor of the Wu Xiang Demon Dynasty, and also Blood Nine’s father.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“Your child greets Father Emperor.”

Blood Nine and Night Youyou bowed in succession.

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor smiled and raised his hand, “No need for formalities.”

With that, he glanced at Blood Nine, noticed that his cultivation had improved, and nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad, you’ve already reached Gui Xu Realm sixth layer.”

“Go to the Imperial Study later, I have something to ask you.”

Blood Nine nodded in agreement, naturally knowing what his Father Emperor wanted to ask.

It was then that the Wu Xiang Demon Emperor noticed Cao Nie and the others.

He saw that these few people stood upright, showing no intention of bowing.

Seeing this, Blood Nine quickly explained, “Father Emperor, I joined the strongest demonic sect in the Three Thousand Dao Domains, the Soul Refining Sect. They are all elders of the Soul Refining Sect, and this is the Sect Master, Soul Heaven Emperor.”

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor looked at Cao Nie, who was currently casting a spell to save his daughter, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

What an arrogant title!

The two characters “Heaven Emperor,” “Heaven” taken from the Heavenly Dao, and “Emperor” taken from Emperor, combined, don't they signify an Emperor granted by the Heavenly Dao?

Damn it, this invisible show-off is even aimed at me!

“He’s saving Li’er, what about Zhao Heng?”

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor looked around and then saw the bloodstains on the ground.

Night Youyou stepped forward to explain, “Your Majesty, this Zhao Heng is merely a man of empty reputation; he almost sent Li’er to her early demise.”

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor frowned, a murderous glint in his eyes, “Dead? Was he not dismembered? Was he not subjected to slow slicing? Was he not branded?”

Night Youyou shook her head, “No, this concubine directly annihilated him.”

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor sighed, “Concubine You, you are still too soft-hearted. How can such a person be allowed to die so painlessly?”

Night Youyou hesitated, then said, “I have already sent people to annihilate the Zhao family.”

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor asked, “They haven’t arrived yet, have they?”

“They should be arriving soon,” Night Youyou was not entirely sure.

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor sighed, “Forget it, if they’ve arrived, they’ve arrived. But it’s a pity for him to die just like that.”

Suddenly, he noticed an old man prostrating on the ground nearby, trembling all over.

“Who is this person? Why is he trembling like this?” He asked in confusion, “Lift your head.”

Night Youyou glanced at him and immediately realized, “Your Majesty, he is an elder of the Zhao family. I forgot to kill him just now.”

“Oh.” The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor walked up to him and said to the outside, “Come here, drag him out, and give him a hundred repetitions of the tortures I just mentioned before letting him die.”

Upon hearing this, the Zhao family elder quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, “Your Majesty, this commoner only begs for death, just for death!”

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor impatiently waved his hand, “Drag him out, and give him ten thousand repetitions of the tortures I just mentioned.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Two Imperial Guards walked in and immediately dragged out the wailing Zhao family elder.

Soon, the hall fell silent.

Everyone stared intently at Cao Nie, even the Wu Xiang Demon Emperor was no exception.

This was his beloved daughter; if anything were to happen to her, many heads would certainly roll.

“Little Jiu, is this Soul Heaven Emperor truly capable? I see he’s only at Tribulation Extinction Realm eighth layer, which is a bit weak.” The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor was still somewhat worried.

Blood Nine quickly whispered an explanation, “Father Emperor, don’t just look at his cultivation; you must look at his combat power.”

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor immediately frowned, “What do you mean by that?”

Blood Nine said, “The Sect Master can survive in the Three Thousand Dao Domains precisely because his combat power is comparable to a Nine Tribulation Half Immortal, even on par with you, Father Emperor.”

Upon hearing this, the Wu Xiang Demon Emperor and Night Youyou exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.

“Is that true?” the Wu Xiang Demon Emperor asked in disbelief.

Blood Nine nodded emphatically, “I swear, there is absolutely no falsehood! Your child personally saw him make a move, easily slaying a Seven Tribulation Half Immortal.”

Well, he certainly hadn’t seen it with his own eyes; all of this was heard from Cao An.

Anyway, he would praise the Sect Master to the heavens, wishing he could say he was the number one in the world.

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor re-evaluated Cao Nie.

If he had been dismissive just now, he now had to adopt a completely serious attitude.

His Wu Xiang Demon Dynasty only had three Nine Tribulation Half Immortal experts: himself, an old ancestor in seclusion, and a fellow prince, the One-Worded Shoulder-to-Shoulder King, guarding the Demon Sealing Abyss.

His Wu Xiang Demon Dynasty was already the head of the ten major powers. If Cao Nie assisted them, unifying the Demon Sealing Abyss and even the Three Thousand Dao Domains would be within reach.

Thinking this, he had already decided how to treat Cao Nie and his group.

“Little Jiu, you did very well this time.”

The Wu Xiang Demon Emperor patted Blood Nine’s shoulder, very satisfied, “I promise you, once your elder brother ascends the throne, you will be the One-Worded Shoulder-to-Shoulder King of the Wu Xiang Demon Dynasty, sharing the world with your elder brother.”
