Chapter 455: Bloodline
Lin Fengmian, still dry-heaving, nodded in agreement. “All right, I won’t kill him!”
“Now I think it’s better for him to live in endless pain and torment for the rest of his life!”
He finally understood why Jun Chengye had been so brave to go to the front lines in the war against the Netherworld Family.
It wasn’t because he had some grand epiphany – he just wanted to escape from this terrifying world.
What a painful realization!
Upon hearing this, Luo Xue finally relaxed. She was completely shaken.
Her innocence had been completely shattered.
The scene she had witnessed had destroyed any lingering illusions she had about relationships, leaving only a deep-seated fear.
Luo Xue shivered uncontrollably. Was this what intimacy was like? How terrifying!
Why did she feel like vomiting just thinking about it?
She never wanted to become something so grotesque!
Weak and exhausted, Lin Fengmian asked, “Luo Xue, do you have any techniques to prevent someone from being possessed?”
He was worried that Jun Chengye might fake his death to escape, so he needed to take precautions.
Luo Xue shared a seal technique with him. “This is the Rebirth Seal. As the name suggests, there’s no way to undo it aside from reincarnation.”
“It’s a secret technique that can only be used in the Saint Realm. I’ve only seen it in ancient texts and have never used it myself.”
Lin Fengmian looked at the seal and smiled faintly. “Alright then. He’s lucky.”
The next afternoon, Jun Chengye finally managed to send away Xu Zhibai, who had been relentless and sat in his room, utterly lifeless.
A light breeze swept through the room, and a figure suddenly appeared.
The person looked pale and unsteady on his feet – it was Lin Fengmian, who had spent the entire night vomiting until he was completely drained.
“You’re here?”
Jun Chengye was calm, even a bit annoyed.
Couldn’t this guy have come earlier?
Lin Fengmian looked at him and couldn’t help but remember the events of the previous night, causing him to vomit again.
“You knew… vomit… I was coming?”
Jun Chengye turned pale, seeing his reaction. “Last night… was it you? You saw everything?”
Lin Fengmian, looking completely traumatized, nodded painfully.
“I saw it! Why did you have to show me that?”
Jun Chengye was overcome with grief. The most humiliating moment of his life had been witnessed by his greatest enemy.
It was like stumbling and falling face first in front of your rival – the kind of thing that makes you want to die.
He said in desperation, “Ye Xuefeng, just give me a quick death.”
Lin Fengmian’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he began forming hand seals. With a single strike, he sent Jun Chengye flying.
A seal quickly appeared in Jun Chengye’s sea of consciousness before disappearing just as quickly. The intense pain distracted him from noticing it.
“Want to die? It’s not that easy!”
Lin Fengmian conjured up hundreds of lightning needles and sent them flying into Jun Chengye’s body, causing him to scream in agony.
Jun Chengye, who was writhing in pain, wore a strange mixture of relief and a twisted smile.
He had already asked the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign to place a blood curse on him. Using his Void Realm cultivation and his life as the price, he could mark his killer.
Once he died, the Heavenly Fiend Sovereign would be able to track down the damned Ye Xuefeng using the mark, even if he tried to escape through the void.
One life for another, it was a fair trade!
But as he watched Lin Fengmian turn to leave, Jun Chengye was stunned. He struggled to his feet and roared in anger.
“Ye Xuefeng, kill me!”
Lin Fengmian paused before turning back with a smile. “No. For you, living might be more painful than dying.”
Not only had Lin Fengmian cast the Rebirth Seal on Jun Chengye, but he had also used the Celestial Castration Technique!
From now on, whenever Jun Chengye felt any lustful thoughts, the nightmare-like memories from last night would flood his mind, rendering him impotent.
Under normal circumstances, Jun Chengye would have noticed that something was wrong, but this was anything but a normal situation.
At most, he would think that Xu Zhibai had temporarily killed his interest in women.
Lin Fengmian felt that his actions had saved Jun Chengye from a life of misery, even though the cost was that he would live the rest of his days as a eunuch.
Not that Lin Fengmian was truly being kind, he just wanted to see if he could alter the future.
Jun Chengye currently had no heirs, but he would have a child in the future.
What if Lin Fengmian addressed the issue at its root?
Risking another assault on his eyes, Lin Fengmian took a quick look at Xu Zhibai to confirm that she wasn’t pregnant before leaving.
Judging from Xu Zhibai’s demeanor, even if Jun Chengye truly became impotent, she would likely stick by his side.
Did Jun Chengye think that he could get rid of her?
It was not that easy!
While Lin Fengmian was visiting Tianze City, the Holy Imperial Palace received a special guest.
Dressed all in black, the visitor presented a token and made a shocking statement.
She claimed to have ties to the late Saint Emperor and Consort Shu, and even claimed to know the Heavenly Evil Saint. She demanded an audience with Empress Fengyao.
The guards, who had initially intended to send her away, didn’t dare dismiss her lightly and quickly summoned Zhao Ban.
Zhao Ban examined the token and escorted the visitor in with great respect before hastily reporting to Jun Yunshang.
“Your Majesty, a pregnant woman has arrived, claiming to know the saint and requesting an audience with you!”
Jun Yunshang, who was reviewing the memorials, snapped her jade brush in half upon hearing this.
She calmly put the broken brush aside and asked, “A pregnant woman?”
What was the meaning of this?
Had Young Master Ye hidden a mistress outside?
Had she lost track of Young Master Ye and come looking for her instead?
“Yes, the woman also mentioned having ties to the late Saint Emperor and Consort Shu, but she appears to be a demon.”
Zhao Ban presented a necklace. “This is her token. I’ve seen the Empress Dowager wearing it before.”
“The woman also made a strange request. She hopes to meet Your Majesty near water. I’m not sure what she means by that.”
Jun Yunshang took the pendant and pondered for a moment before saying, “Then invite her to the Luofang Pavilion.”
Zhao Ban nodded and left to carry out the order. Jun Yunshang made her way to the Luofang Pavilion, which was surrounded by a lake, and stood quietly waiting in the courtyard.
Soon, the woman was brought in. Seeing Jun Yunshang standing gracefully in the courtyard, the woman’s eyes flashed with admiration and nostalgia.
She removed her hood, revealing slightly pointed ears and long emerald green hair, then bowed gracefully.
“Zhen Bai of the Heavenly Leech Demon Clan greets Empress Fengyao!”
The visitor was none other than Zhen Bai, the Heavenly Leech Demon that Lin Fengmian had released.
Jun Yunshang’s expression changed slightly when she heard “Heavenly Leech Demon Clan”. She exclaimed in surprise, “You are the legendary Heavenly Leech Demon?”
Zhen Bai nodded and drew a line across her forehead.
A third eye, glowing with a soft green light, opened on her forehead and gently shone on Jun Yunshang.
Zhen Bai was momentarily stunned, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
How could these two similar bloodlines suppress each other?
After a moment, she regained her composure and said, “This Clear Pupil Divine Eye is a mark of my clan. Has Your Majesty heard of it?”
Jun Yunshang suddenly understood why the woman had asked to meet near the water.
She never expected the legendary Heavenly Leech Demon, which was thought to be extinct, to appear before her. Waves of emotion surged within her.
She held up the necklace and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, was my mother’s bloodline purified by Lady Zhen?”
