Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Just come clean and return the valuables to us!"

"As long as you give the items back, we can forget this ever happened!"

A group of powerful individuals united in pointing their spearheads at Xiao Yi and Yue Shanchuan.

Their barrage of filthy language made Yue Shanchuan's face turn exceedingly ugly.

He never imagined that his good deed of saving others would lead to this outcome.

Xiao Yi let out a deep sigh, having already guessed that it might come to this. He saw that many in the crowd actually understood that all of this was the doing of the War God, but they simply didn't care.

After all...

In their eyes, if Xiao Yi could even subdue the War God, he surely must have taken some benefits from the War God.

They couldn't possibly reclaim their possessions from the War God, so they conveniently directed their grievances at Xiao Yi, perhaps even hoping to extort something from him.

Such is human nature!

Without distinguishing right from wrong, good from evil, or truth from falsehood.

Fixated only on self-interest.

Only following the crowd...

The reason Xiao Yi didn't continue to stop Yue Shanchuan was his hope that Yue would come to recognize the reality of their situation.

After all...

When facing Du Long and his band of pirates earlier, Yue Shanchuan had made the same mistake. As a martial fanatic with a comparatively simple mind, that's why he was nearly killed by Du Long and the others.

Moreover, since Xiao Yi had dealt with Du Long and his men himself, their ugliest side was not exposed to Yue Shanchuan.

The lesson wasn't profound enough!

But now.

Looking at Yue Shanchuan's tightly clenched fists, blood seeping down between his fingers, and his shaking shoulders, it was clear he had learned his lesson.

And it was an exceedingly harsh lesson!

Hu!

Xiao Yi exhaled a long breath of foul air, smiled, and patted his shoulder, saying, "Brother Yue, do you now see their true faces?"

"Hmm!"

Yue Shanchuan showed a bitter smile mixed with reluctance and anger, but mostly helplessness, "I just couldn't believe that human hearts could be so vile, but now I know... Xiao, leave this place to me!"

Seeing the resolute look in his eyes, Xiao Yi nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll leave it to you!"

These people had to be slain by Yue Shanchuan himself!

Only by killing them could he rid himself of his Heart Demon.

Moreover...

Since none of these people had expressed gratitude for their lives being saved, Xiao Yi naturally felt no inclination to stop Yue from taking action.

Boom!

Yue Shanchuan's body shook, and with a low roar, a pure and flawless white warblade burst forth from his body.

Above the warblade, a white dragon coiled, exuding an aura of righteousness. Yue Shanchuan said coldly, "I have always held on to my principles, believing there are more good people in the world, but I understand now that I was indeed too naive. From now on, I won't be so naive..."

Hum!

The white dragon on his warblade seemed to come to life.

Two beams of light shot from his eyes.

Boom!

The white dragon soared into the sky, emerging from the blade and encircling Yue Shanchuan. After circling Yue, the white scales began to shed, transforming into a pitch-black dragon. The dark Black Dragon attached to the blade, turning it a sinister black color.

The blade emitted an evil aura of Evil Qi.

"A high-ranking seventh-grade spirit weapon?" Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow.

He hadn't expected Yue Shanchuan's warblade to be a seventh-grade spirit weapon.

And he certainly hadn't expected...

As Yue Shanchuan's temperament changed, his warblade transformed from a weapon exuding righteousness to one now teeming with evil intent.

Without giving everyone time to react, Yue Shanchuan, gripping the warblade, charged into the crowd.

"Tyrant Blade's First Form!"

"Tyrant Blade's Second Form..."

Yue Shanchuan, like a demon god swinging his warblade, unleashed terrifying power with each slash, claiming life after life. But he showed no mercy, his conviction solidified by the crowd's recent hostility, revealing the vile nature of human hearts to him.

He would destroy such vile hearts with his warblade!

"Run..."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

"We shouldn't have wronged you..."

Screaming hysterically, the mighty warriors laid on the ground, but Yue Shanchuan's blade showed no mercy.

In an instant.

The underground palace was littered with hundreds of bodies. Having transformed his mentality and broken through his Heart Demon, Yue Shanchuan's cultivation had advanced further. All he needed to do was stabilize his realm, and he could then make a push for the Sixth Nirvana Realm.

The crowd fled towards the outside of the underground palace.

Yue Shanchuan, holding a black saber, was hot on their trail.

Little Lin swallowed hard, "Boss, hasn't Yue Shanchuan changed a bit too drastically?"

Xiao Yi rubbed his head and smiled, "He's always been a swordsmanship prodigy, and especially one suited for the path of slaughter. He was just on the wrong path before. Now that he has broken through his Heart Demon and is on the right path, it's only natural that his strength has surged!"

"I see!"

Little Lin nodded, his memory of his inheritance meaning he just needed to cultivate step by step without the trouble of choosing a path. Curious, he looked at Xiao Yi, "Boss, which path are you on?"

"Me?"

Xiao Yi paused before smiling, "I walk my own path, and leave others, no path to follow!"

Little Lin: "..."

Xiao Yi glanced at the War God, who was feigning death on the ground, and said indifferently, "If you don't get up, you can't blame me!"

"No, no, no..."

The War God scrambled to his feet, looking at Xiao Yi with a mournful face, "Young hero, you've used up my Spiritual Blood Pool, and my War God Temple has been destroyed. Please, spare me!"

Xiao Yi said lightly, "Come with me. As long as you satisfy me with your behavior, I won't make things difficult for you!"

Now with Yue Shanchuan chasing after those people and leaving the War God Temple, misunderstandings were bound to arise. Only by having the War God himself come forward could things be clearly explained.

The War God, head drooping, had no choice but to follow Xiao Yi out of the War God Temple.

......

Outside the War God Temple.

Boom!

The massive doors of the War God Temple burst open with a bang and several bodies were sent flying out, shocking the strong warriors around. They stared in disbelief at the group of warriors running out of the temple, "Isn't that Ye Weijun who failed to challenge the War God last year and mysteriously disappeared?"

"That's Zhao Yunwei who challenged the War God three years ago..."

"That one is..."

One by one, the warriors were recognized, but when they saw Yue Shanchuan chasing people out of the temple, their faces changed again, "Who is this man? How, how is he chasing those people all the way out of the War God Temple?"

Ye Weijun and the others, seeing Yue Shanchuan getting closer, shouted for help, "Save us! The demon Yue Shanchuan is plotting against the War God and wants to silence us by killing. Someone, stop him!"

"Yue Shanchuan is a devil, he's killed hundreds..."

The crowd shouted one after another.

For a moment...

The area was filled with alarmed cries.

"What? He plotted against the War God?"

"This Yue Shanchuan is really a demon; look at how ruthless he is!"

"Act quickly and capture him..."

The crowd surged to attack.

Yue Shanchuan's eyes had already turned bloodshot with rage, as Xiao Yi had said, he excelled in the path of slaughter. This had been suppressed all along, and now his killing desire was unleashed, somewhat out of control.

His eyes a sea of crimson, only thinking of kill, kill, kill!

"I saved you, and not only did you repay kindness with malice, but now you're also spreading lies and slandering me..."

"Those who repay kindness with malice, kill!"

Yue Shanchuan raised his saber high, ready to cleave Ye Weijun in front of him in two.

Just at that moment...

A white ribbon with a silver ring attached flew out of nowhere, ringing as it struck Yue Shanchuan's saber. The force knocked the blade out of his hand, followed by a wave of fragrance on the wind and an aloof voice, "You devil, dare to harm the innocent before this saintess? Don't you put down your weapon and end your life?"

In the void.

A woman, dressed in a holy white gown, stood elevated in the air, otherworldly. The white ribbon had come from her hand.

"Is that Sha Bolian, one of the seven saintesses of the Sha Family?"

"Who would have thought that the saintess herself would come? Haha, this demon is done for!"

Ye Weijun and the others looked at Yue Shanchuan with eyes filled with mockery and provocation.

Yue Shanchuan's face was gloomier than ever.

Before he could speak...

Xiao Yi's voice came from the void, "Who do you think you are? How dare you ask my brother to end his own life?"
