Chapter 11

[Lower Realm 4]

Xiaosheng listened to the report of Yaoyue regarding outside world, even though she didn't get to roam outside and only stay at the hidden realm. She is still, after all, a well informed individual considering she is taught by many ancestors of their family.

So knowing the outside world isn't a strange thing.

Then there are Four Great Divine Kingdom in the central region. The divine kingdoms are the Asura Divine Kingdom, Nine Furnace Divine Kingdom, Sublime Smelting Divine Kingdom, and lastly, the Seven Star Divine Kingdom.

These Four Great Divine Kingdoms held over a dozen well known and famous Emperor powerhouses. In addition to all those other Emperor level powerhouses that remained hidden in the world, every Divine Kingdom had nearly 10 Emperor level powerhouses, or perhaps even more.

She also explained the other places such as the Four Seas and the other small lands like Vermillion Bird Holy Land.

The Asura Divine Kingdom is at the third out of the kingdoms. But, with the Young Master here, no one is capable on standing on their equal grounds anymore. She thought evilly as she imagined herself trampling the other kingdoms with her feet.

Situ Yaoyue might seem weak and ordinary, but that's how Xiaosheng view her not for the others. As she follow the Demonic path and is accustomed to it, she is ruthless and decisive in her actions.

Xiaosheng woke her up in her daydream as he spoke with his like heaven voice for anyone to hear. "Yaoyue, any information that is unusual?"

"What kind of unusual Young Master?"

"Like, a normal cultivator suddenly became a heavenly genius."

Yaoyue frowned as she try to look into her mind but she didn't remember any kind of unusual things like that. She shook her head to indicate that there is none.

Xiaosheng nodded lightly and rose from his seat gracefully, his robe is swaying by the soft winds as he stand on the balcony.

He look at the sky and smiled lightly. "Oh, destined one. Give me some entertainment in my visit." He murmured as if he can foresee Lin Ming getting stronger and battling him.

"But...I need to hasten your growth, destined one. My time is limited." He murmured audibly as his eyes glinted with mystical light, that even Yaoyue can't hear his murmur and just felt a sudden chill.

"Yaoyue, prepare the carriage, we will visit a good friend." He smiled mysteriously with a hint of danger in it. Yaoyue didn't ask and just follow his order. Questions? She's a maid, and a maid's duty is to fulfill the order of the Young Master.

She took her leave respectfully and obeyed his order.

***

2 hours later.

Xiaosheng along with his companions and even Haotian came with him. Interested who his 'friend' was, how can he have a friend here when he's from the divine realm?

They didn't hide their presence and arrived at a small kingdom named Sky Fortune Kingdom. Causing the small kingdom to fall in chaos.

Meanwhile, the group was confused as to why they are here. They look at Xiaosheng with questioning look but he didn't even respond and just watch the kingdom fall on chaos.

He opened his Fiery Golden Eyes as he tried to find where the destined one is. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Lin Ming is still weak, right now, he must still have punching the tree and haven't find the cube.

So he needs to hasten his growth, even if it resulted in a new path for him. It doesn't matter. He wanted to fight this destined one and enjoy it for his own curiosity and interest.

Then as he spread his divine sense along with his golden eyes. He saw an ordinary young man quivering in fear along with a girl.

His eyes glowed brightly as he found them! He immediately leap to their direction and descended while his companions followed him curiously.

While he is happy, the kingdom isn't. They were amazed at his profound and mystical aura he had. But it brought terror to them as they didn't know who it was, but every martial artists felt predation in his presence.

They felt like being devoured by a dark being to the abyss, to eternally suffer on his torment and pain.

The young man, Lin Ming, look up at his divine visage that seems to to even illuminate the night sky with his presence alone.

He felt an innate reverence as he look into his nearly white eyes.

He nervously asked. "Wh-What c-can I do f-for you, Sir?"

"Hmm...."

"..."

He only hummed a little but he felt suffocated at his small actions. That's how terrifying Xiaosheng is to him. He's like a giant that towered over the heavens that can trample anyone below his feet.

Lin Ming is terrified at his unfathomable presence. Xiaosheng spoke lightly that attracted everyone's attention.

"You....don't have the right to speak to me, no, even looking at me is considered a sin. Vermin." Xiaosheng said indifferently as his eyes shone with cold light. He lifted his chin even higher, making him look more arrogant.

Lin Ming never felt humiliated this before, even if the others belittled him, he didn't get offended easily.

But Xiaosheng words had that condescending tone in it. Lin Ming thought that once he practice martial arts he can get to his level and get back at him.

But Xiaosheng didn't let him dwell on his thoughts too much. He turn to look at the girl holding Lin Ming's hand while quivering in fear.

He smiled inside his heart as the two still look close. And the best thing that can be fuel to his growth is rage and madness.

He brought his hand to her chin and made her look at his face. She tried to resist but resistance were futile.

Xiaosheng said as he look directly into her eyes, "You don't have talent nor even will to grow strong. You're a waste but I'll give you a chance. Stab his heart and I'll give you a treasure that can strengthen your meager talent."

But she didn't budge and kept looking the other way, Lan Yunyue, the childhood sweetheart of Lin Ming. A tear fell from her eyes as she saw his dear and special friend be humiliated.

Xiaosheng spoke again, but this time, his voice slightly higher. "Do you think you would get to any heights or have the ability to look down from heavens if you're with him? No, he's weak. So what are you waiting for, grab the opportunity that I gave you and you won't regret it. Not even one bit."

Yes, he's right. She is ambitious and still a teen. She easily get enticed by his sweet words.

Xiaosheng took out a dagger from his spatial ring and gave it to her, Lan Yunyue look at Lin Ming with trembling eyes as she hesitated along with sympathy and sadness.

"Go and do it. Stab his heart to kill him and you'll obtain power. A small price to pay, isn't?" His whisper sent a shiver on her spine, and as if possessed, she raised the dagger to the air.

Like a devil that descended to the mortal world to entice the pitiful mortals into eternal suffering. And Lan Yunyue accepted that enticement willingly, pitiful mortal.

Lin Ming look at the two of them with wide eyes. Yunyue, his childhood sweetheart wants to kill him? For power? For an item to increase her talent? Lin Ming's heart was shattered when he saw how her hesitation vanish and is about to kill him.

He is filled with sadness but another emotion surged in him. Anger. This is because of only one person. And that is Xiaosheng. This mysterious martial artist that not only humiliated him but also made his childhood sweetheart like that.

In his eyes, Xiaosheng shattered their relationship, he took his beloved and she only hesitated before she accepted it.

He mouthed a few words while staring into her eyes, "Disgusting whore."

It pained her seeing his eyes have that look, but what can she do? Stay by his side where he won't be able to achieve anything?

As Lan Yunyue raise the dagger, she stab him in the chest, penetrating his heart. She let go of the bloody dagger as she look into Lin Ming's eyes that contain pure disgust toward her and also rage and anger in it.

He didn't fight back as his heart was so broken that he's mind is so cloudy.

It doesn't matter now since he died. She can become strong and achieve her dreams. Right?

She staggeringly turned to look at Xiaosheng who look at this situation who had a happy smile on his face. His eyes clearly reflect to everyone how happy he is.

Xiaosheng turn to look at Lan Yunyue who, was standing in front of him weakly. He smiled lightly as he signal Yaoyue to come.

"Yaoyue, let's go, our business here is done, oh and lastly. Prepare a room for her once we came back." He said as he turn around and spoke lightly, giving orders as he walk towards the carriage.

"Yes, Young Master!"

"..."

Leaving the terrorized citizen of the Sky Fortune Kingdom. They didn't dare to look at him as he might just kill them. No one dared to.
