Chapter 207: Chapter 206: The Execution
Sally spotted them from a distance and said to Xiaomei, “Trouble is piling up.”
“Host need not fear, Xiaomei will protect you.”
“I am not scared, just finding it bothersome. Are these all cultivators from the Human Clan?”
“Yes.”
Sally looked in Zhu Sanlang’s direction; he seemed in a rush to come this way, showing no desire to continue fighting.
“That’s why one should never owe favors—it’s simply torturous.” Sally watched Zhu Sanlang fight with hands and feet tied, so to speak, and sighed.
“Burn them, Xiaomei!” Seeing that the cultivators were drawing closer, Sally knew there could be no more delays.
Xiaomei had also taken a dislike to these people long ago. “Alright!”
Zhao Yuan was entangling Zhu Sanlang, preventing him from getting closer to the mountain top, “Liuzhu must have turned the clouds and rain with you quite a few times, huh?”
“Nonsense.” Zhu Sanlang’s expression darkened, and flames blazed all over his body.
“Host, Zhu Sanlang has murderous intent. Do you still need to make a move?”
“No need then, he must eventually overcome this hurdle himself.”
Sally shouted at Zhu Sanlang, “Sanlang, that man touched me, molested me! I killed him!”
Zhu Sanlang, who had hesitated slightly, no longer held back upon hearing this. A fire dragon surged toward Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a sense of impending death and attempted to flee, “Zhu Sanlang! We are fellow disciples under the same master; what are you doing?”
The next instant, Zhu Sanlang left him no way out, “Domain!”
As if everything froze, within thirty meters centered on Zhu Sanlang, everything came to a standstill, and apart from his consciousness, Zhao Yuan’s entire body was controlled by the Domain.
Impossible! Since when did Zhu Sanlang cultivate a Domain… why did no one in the Sect know about it.
The fire dragon from Zhu Sanlang got closer, opened its fiery maw in his line of sight, and then, engulfed him amidst his extreme fear!
In a few breaths, Zhao Yuan had been reduced to ashes!
Zhu Sanlang released the Domain.
The ashes were blown away by the wind, disappearing into nothingness.
Zhu Sanlang hurried back, embracing Sally and checking her over, “Yanyan, are you alright? What did he do to you?”
“It’s over now. He grabbed my arm and said he wanted to… Anyway, I accidentally killed him in a moment of carelessness. You’re not angry, are you?” Sally said, gesturing to the pile of flesh.
Zhu Sanlang looked over, first stunned, then with a wave of his hand, he incinerated the remnants cleanly with flame.
“I will never let you face such a situation again.”
“No, I will still face it with you in the future. Although I’m fond of eating and lazing around, I’m not without strength.”
Zhu Sanlang believed her; Senior Brother Chen’s strength ranked in the top ten in the Sect, yet he died without a sound at her hands, which was telling of how her strength must be much greater than Senior Brother Chen’s.
“Look over there,” Sally pointed to the Sword-Flying Cultivators getting closer.
“Yunmeng Island must have caught the attention of many by now, including those pirates over there.”
Several large ships were already heading towards Yunmeng Island.
…
Five Sword-Flying Cultivators landed on the island.
Seeing the island full of heavenly and earthly treasures, all five were so astounded they could hardly believe it.
“Big Senior Brother, what place is this? How come we’ve never seen this treasure land before?” A young girl in a pink skirt, charming and lovely in appearance, asked.
She plucked a blade of grass from the ground, the core of which was a translucent color, “This is Ice Heart Grass, not even Tianmen Sect has many of these, yet there is a large patch of it here.”
“It must belong to someone.” The leading cultivator in green looked towards the mountain peak, “Let’s pay a visit first.”
Sally, through the System Map, identified the green-clad cultivator—astonishingly she had met him once before; he was a true disciple of the Tianmen Sect. There was also the round-faced disciple from Plum Academy.
The girl must also be from the Tianmen Sect, as the embroidery on her clothes included cloud and sword patterns.
The other two must be from different sects, their robes were earthy yellow, with a ‘Chuan’ character embroidered only at the angular collar.
From her prior understanding of Yunshan Continent, they should be disciples of the Baichuan Sect, also a sect that affiliates with the Tianmen Sect.
Sally said to Zhu Sanlang, “Tianmen Sect, do you know of it?”
Zhu Sanlang responded, “There was no Tianmen Sect the last time I was here.”
“…Your last visit was thousands of years ago?” Sally said, speechless.
“About four thousand years ago. Time for the Demon Clan is rather prolonged, particularly during growth phases. A mere slumber could lead to a passing of a thousand years, unlike with the Human Clan.”
“Yes, human lifespans are quite short, and they’re also exceptionally hectic and busy. In the end, often, they still don’t understand much, and their lives come to an end.”
Although Sally was now a demon, her soul was human. Thus, she has always been on the go, rushing forward incessantly.
This was her instinct as well as a characteristic of humans.
[Host, the fetus needs nourishment. Please eat as soon as possible.] Xiaomei reminded Sally that it was time for a meal.
“I’m a bit hungry, Sanlang,” Sally told Zhu Sanlang.
“I’ll prepare food for you,” Zhu Sanlang immediately replied.
“No need, you go attend to those ‘guests.’ I’ll just make do for now. Once we’ve sent them all away, we’ll make something nice.”
“Hmm, in half a month, we’ll move to another place.”
“Half a month?”
“It takes half a month to restart Yunmeng Island’s Teleportation Array,” he explained.
“There are no defensive formations on the island? Like Illusion Arrays or Slaughter Arrays, to prevent them from casually landing on the island.”
“I can activate the Slaughter Array.” He had not activated it before for fear that it would block her from coming back.
After all, these formations only exempted the island’s master; they treated everyone else the same.
Sally nodded, “Right, that will save us some trouble. If there’s someone who can break through the formation, we can deal with it then.”
“Alright,” Zhu Sanlang went to activate the formation.
As Sally ate, she watched the three mountain peaks gradually become shrouded in a white mist, hidden from view, and she could no longer see into the distance.
[Xiaomei, what if I don’t return to Earth and just become an ordinary demon here? How would that be?]
[Then, Host, you would be like the previous nineteen hosts who chose, at some point, to release the Offspring System and stay forever.]
[Wouldn’t you be sad? Your task is not accomplished yet again, and you have to start over. By the way, this is the last time you’re bound to me, right?]
[Xiaomei is number 002. There are other Ark Systems; surely, one will achieve it.]
[…What a vast System organization.] Sally replied, [It feels like whoever developed this System is the great being Xiaomei talks about.]
[Xiaomei has yet to unlock the memory about this part.]
[No rush. I hope to complete my own wish before helping achieve your mission.]
[Will the Host continue to bear children?]
[Of course, I still have many debts unpaid.]
