Xiao Yang was truly bewildered.
He was captured by remnants of the Demon Race, and it turned out this whole mess was Qin Fei’s doing.
Just when he thought he was about to be turned into a Demon Slave, a celestial-like being suddenly descended.
A divine aura permeated the cave.
A voice as melodious as heavenly music entered his ears, bathing him in a warm sensation that made him forget his pain.
He still had nine Devil’s Spikes stuck in him, and it hurt like crazy.
“Looks like I picked the right place to come. Not only did I find the traitor’s son from the Immortal Gate, but I’ve also run into a remnant of the Demon Race.”
The newcomer glanced at Xiao Yang on the ground, her gaze settling on the figure in black robes.
A celestial confronting a demon—it was like a classic showdown.
At this moment, Xiao Yang’s heart was engulfed in a tumultuous storm.
Celestial Race, Demon Race.
What ancient titles those are!
In his previous life, he roamed the Northern Realm, braving forbidden areas and exploring celestial tombs, so he knew plenty of ancient secrets.
The Demon Race had once invaded the Yuanwu Continent.
It was a time of suffering for its beings.
The Celestial Race had led humanity to repulse the Demon Race back to their abyss before sealing them deep within.
Looks like the ancient battle between the Celestials and Demons still had its leftover tricks.
Residues of the Demon Race were still hiding in the world.
And there were also descendants of the Celestial Race living among humans.
Could it be that the Immortal Gate is a force established by the Celestial Race?
And behind the Demon Sect, the actual Demon Race is pulling the strings?
In his past life, Xiao Yang had no clue that the conflicts between the Demon Sect and the major sects of the Northern Realm were actually an ongoing game between Celestials and Demons.
He thought the Demon Race had been trapped in their abyss, erased from the world.
And now, a remnant of the Demon Race popped up out of nowhere.
A remnant of the Demon Race is not the same as remnants of the Demon Sect.
Even Nangong Hui is merely someone with Demon blood.
Could this figure in black actually be the true Demon Race legend?
Xiao Yang’s mind was racing with possibilities.
Of course, all of this was just speculation.
The arrival of the celestial being had turned the atmosphere in the cave tense.
This mysterious celestial completely ignored Qin Fei.
But Qin Fei dared not make a move.
“I haven’t drunk the blood of a Celestial in ages; I’ll indulge today!”
The black-robed man sneered and leaped from the boulder, pouncing toward the celestial being.
“You’re asking for death!”
With a swift motion, the celestial being swung her right hand, and a Sword Light shot forth, illuminating the entire cave.
Qin Fei hurriedly dodged.
Meanwhile, the only thing Xiao Yang could do was lie on the ground, unable to move.
The Devil’s Spike lodged in his chest had finally loosened, and he desperately circulated his internal energy, trying to expel it.
The spike pulsed with energy.
Just then, the black-robed man evaded the incoming Sword Light.
Wherever the Sword Light passed, the stone the black-robed man stood on was split in two, leaving a deep gash in the cave wall behind it.
“Dancing Demons!”
The black-robed man let out a low growl, and in the next moment, countless shadowy figures appeared around the celestial being.
His true body was hidden among those shadows.
All the shadows lunged toward the celestial being.
“Sword Move of the Universe!”
The celestial’s sword burst forth with dazzling brilliance, sending countless beams slicing outward, piercing through all Demon shadows that charged at her.
Numerous shadows dissipated into nothingness.
At that instant, a single shadow unexpectedly appeared right above the celestial’s head.
With its head down and feet up, a palm struck down at her.
The fierce force instantly enveloped the celestial.
The celestial being looked up in shock.
In the next moment, a piercing Sword Light erupted from her brow, instantly striking through the black-robed man’s hand.
“Using the Spirit to Control the Sword?”
The black-robed man screamed, rushing towards Xiao Yang.
“Wait… Wait!!”
Xiao Yang was taken aback.
The black-robed man grabbed Xiao Yang and hurled him toward the pursuing celestial.
Then he dashed toward the cave’s exit with Qin Fei in tow.
Qin Fei still had his uses, so the black-robed man couldn’t leave him behind.
The celestial shoved Xiao Yang aside and made to pursue.
However, at that moment, the black-robed man threw several pitch-black objects at her.
“Huh?!”
The celestial was startled, ready to dodge.
But those objects exploded mid-air, releasing clouds of smoke that obscured her view.
She waved her hand to disperse the smoke, but the black-robed man and Qin Fei had already vanished without a trace.
“This is outrageous!”
The celestial was somewhat irritated.
“They say Demon people are cunning and treacherous; seeing it firsthand today, it lives up to its reputation!”
She murmured to herself.
At that moment, she didn’t notice the faint scent that wafted through the air.
“Oh no…”
Lying on the ground, Xiao Yang was fully concentrating on expelling the Devil’s Spike from his chest.
But he felt a rush of blood boiling and his breath becoming erratic.
Panic settled in.
He had been affected.
Those black objects the black-robed man threw were laced with something!
He felt the same sensation he once experienced in the Fox Cave.
In the air lurked something that stirred his primal desires.
Just as he was about to expel the Devil’s Spike, it felt like he was failing at the last moment.
“What on earth is happening?”
At this time, the celestial being also sensed something was off.
But it was too late.
The celestial felt a warm current swirling through her, her cheeks flushing crimson as her gaze began to lose focus.
It was an unprecedented feeling, like the first bloom of flowers in spring, yearning for the warmth of sunlight and the nourishment of rain.
“Damn Demon remnant…”
The celestial was both startled and furious.
She finally realized she had fallen victim to a trap.
She never imagined the remnants of the Demon Race could be so despicable.
She hurriedly took out a detoxification pill.
But it was utterly ineffective.
She sat down and tried to circulate her energy to expel the poison within her.
Yet the more she tried, the more agitated she became.
This toxin could evoke the primal desires innate in living beings.
Even for a cultivator with a calm mindset, it was hard to resist.
The celestial gritted her teeth, mustering all her strength to regulate her energy and suppress the overwhelming urge.
Her body trembled slightly, fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead, but her resolute eyes started to lose their clarity.
She glanced at Xiao Yang lying on the ground.
“No… I am the Sect Holy Daughter, I absolutely cannot…”
The celestial desperately tried to suppress the urge rising from within.
However, it was futile.
The black-robed man’s toxin was incredibly domineering and powerful.
Even a clear-minded celestial, the determined Sect Holy Daughter, could not maintain her composure.
Soon, the Sect Holy Daughter lost the battle and looked at Xiao Yang once again.
“Don’t…”
Xiao Yang panicked.
With the Taiyin Dragon Pearl protecting him, he had briefly been lost in the chaos, but he quickly regained his senses.
However, the Sect Holy Daughter was now losing her mind.
He frantically circulated his Mysterious Skill to expel the Devil’s Spike inside him.
The spike in his chest vibrated as he gradually forced it out.
“Clink!”
Finally, the Devil’s Spike was expelled, falling to the ground.
Xiao Yang’s hands were free again.
He still had eight more Devil’s Spikes embedded in him.
Just as he was about to remove the others, the Sect Holy Daughter lunged at him.
“Please… don’t come any closer!”
He scrambled away.
But in the next second, the Sect Holy Daughter grabbed his right leg and dragged him deep into the cave.
“Nooo…”
A series of chilling screams echoed from within the cave.
Several hours later, the screams gradually subsided.
Xiao Yang could hardly believe he had been forcibly taken by someone.
He never imagined that the Sect Holy Daughter would be so powerful in battle.
Xiao Yang wanted to cry but had no tears.
In his previous life, he dedicated himself to his little junior sister, guarding his purity and remaining a virgin for a millennium.
Now, in this new life, he had become a victim of the Sect Holy Daughter’s advances.
His virginity, shattered!
Being a virgin really speeds up the cultivation process.
Hundreds of years ago, there was a warrior named Sanfeng who became an immortal after honing his skills for centuries while maintaining his purity.
Xiao Yang had also hoped to become an immortal in this new life!
In the end, Xiao Yang fell into a deep sleep.
When he awoke, a sharp sword was at his throat.
He saw the Sect Holy Daughter holding a long sword, staring at him with anger.
“What the hell are you planning?”
Xiao Yang was furious!
“You ruined my purity! I will kill you!”
The Sect Holy Daughter gritted her teeth.
“Are you kidding? You ruined my purity first, and now you want to play the victim? Where’s the justice in that?”
Xiao Yang was so mad he almost spat blood.
He was clearly the one who was victimized!
“This is…?”
The Sect Holy Daughter recalled the circumstances and went blank.
It seemed she had indeed taken the initiative.
How could she have gotten so intimate with the traitor’s son of the Immortal Gate? What was she going to do now?
She wanted to kill Xiao Yang.
But it wasn’t his fault; she couldn’t just kill him without cause.
If others from the Immortal Gate learned she wasn’t a virgin anymore, the consequences would be dire.
After their intimate encounter, she realized Xiao Yang was a rare Chaotic Sacred Body, a cultivation physique that appeared only once in a millennium on the entire Yuanwu Continent.
If he reached his full potential, even the Immortal Gate would have a hard time dealing with him!
Realizing this, the Sect Holy Daughter sheathed her sword.
“If you dare let anyone know about this, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I’ll kill you.”
Xiao Yang was speechless; did she really think he would blabber?
“Hand over the jade pendant!”
The Sect Holy Daughter said coolly.
“The jade pendant?”
Xiao Yang was caught off guard.
“The Immortal Gate’s jade pendant. If you want to continue being hunted by the Immortal Gate, feel free to keep it!”
She said impatiently.
Xiao Yang pulled out the jade pendant.
The Sect Holy Daughter snatched it from him and turned to leave.
He didn’t expect her to just walk away so decisively.
“Hey, what’s your name?”
Xiao Yang called out.
“You’ll know who I am once you gain the strength to infiltrate the Immortal Gate!”
The voice of the Sect Holy Daughter echoed as she vanished.
“Immortal Gate…”
Xiao Yang’s expression instantly turned grave.
To uncover the truth about his origins, he would definitely have to infiltrate the Immortal Gate!
