"Really?" The woman asked in a mocking tone. "Did you think I would let you capture them?"
"Sister Ruxue!" Mo Xiaoqi was very surprised by her presence, because Mu Ruxue hardly ever left Xia Tian's Ancient Sacred Realm.
"Tian is worried about you, Little Qi." In fact, it wasn't Xia Tian who asked Mu Ruxue to save them; it was Alice who asked her, knowing that the three women were in danger.
Bing Huang and Yao Yin were relieved by Mu Ruxue's presence; they had met her when they fought Bei Yuan and the demons a few days ago, but they did not know her true strength. Even so, they were aware that she was very powerful, especially since they were unable to sense her cultivation.
The demon in black became wary of her presence because she didn't notice Mu Ruxue's presence before she appeared before him; even the demon beasts beneath him trembled after seeing her. 'Hmm? Why is my demon beast afraid of that woman?'
"You demon from the north, what are you doing in this village? You even massacred all the inhabitants of this village." Mu Ruxue said it coldly.
"That is none of your business!" The demon in black was still arrogant, even though he was wary of Mu Ruxue. "Get out of the way, and leave those women to me."
*Splurt*
"Ugh!" The demon in black groaned in pain, and blood spurted from his chest. He looked down, and an icy blue sword had already pierced through his heart squarely. Then he looked back and saw Mu Ruxue holding the sword.
After that, Mu Ruxue pulled her sword out of his chest and kicked him, and he was knocked to the ground.
He looked at Mu Ruxue, who was on top of the demonic beast. Then turned to her, who was standing in front of the three women.
Even Yao Yin and Bing Huang were stunned to see that; they didn't understand how there could be two of her.
"How is this possible?" He mumbled to himself when he saw that, but in that instant, Mu Ruxue, who was standing in front of the three women, melted away.
That was the advantage of Mu Ruxue's innate ability, Ice Doppelganger. She was able to create an ice clone that looked exactly like her, while her real body was already moving really fast using her Snow Feather Steps.
"Your mistake was coming to this southern continent, and your biggest mistake is wanting to capture them." Mu Ruxue spoke as she glared coldly at the demon in black.
*Soowsh*
"Little Qi! Are you okay? Why are you going alone?" Xia Tian, who had just arrived with Shen Huang, immediately grabbed Mo Xiaoqi's shoulder. Then he turned to the other two women. "Are you guys not hurt?"
"We are fine, Xia Tian." Yao Yin and Bing Huang replied with a shake of their heads.
"I'm sorry, young master. I had a strange vibe earlier, so I went to find the source. But unexpectedly, I ran into this demon instead." Mo Xiaoqi then pointed at Mu Ruxue, who was standing on top of the demon beast's head, and suppressed it with her aura. "Fortunately, Sister Ruxue came to save us, so we are fine now."
However, Xia Tian raised an eyebrow as he didn't remember asking Mu Ruxue to leave the Ancient Sacred Realm, but he chose to ignore it for now, and the most important thing for him was that Mo Xiaoqi wasn't hurt.
"Tian, he was the one who massacred this village." Mu Ruxue pointed at the old demon man who was lying on the ground; although he is not dead yet, he is not far from death either.
'Who exactly is this Mu Ruxue? And what is her relationship with him?' The two women wondered in their hearts, and they were even more curious about Xia Tian's true identity and strength. Especially Bing Huang, after he gave her a technique that belonged to the Ice Phoenix Tribe, as well as the whip and armor at Immortal Grade.
Meanwhile, Yun Feng and Huo Jun thought differently in their hearts. 'Brother Xia really is a badass! All his women are so beautiful!'
Xia Tian then released Shen Huang from his arms and approached the demon, grabbing his neck and lifting him high."Now tell me that demon emperor's true identity."
The demon in black froze upon hearing that; he didn't expect that anyone on the southern continent would know about the demon emperor. "Cough... You could kill me! I would never tell you!"
"Even if you don't want to say it, I can search for it myself, soul search." The demon in black's eyes bulged at Xia Tian's actions, he didn't expect the man in front of him to have a devil technique.
Before long, Xia Tian let go of his hand and frowned; he didn't get the information he wanted. "Tsk, what a waste!"
"Cough! Haha! Cough! None of us know the true identity of the Demon Emperor." The demon in black laughed with satisfaction at seeing Xia Tian's reaction.
"Even though I didn't get the Demon Emperor's true identity, I got a lot of important things from you. Since I don't need you anymore, you can die now." Xia Tian quickly took out the Qingfeng Sword and beheaded the demon.
Bing Huang and the others gasped in horror at that sight, even though they had witnessed Xia Tian's cruelty many times, they still couldn't adapt to his actions. Although Shen Huang was also terrified by his actions, she was also happy that the demon who killed his parents and villagers was dead.
Xia Tian then looked at the demon beast and asked. "How did you become a demon beast?"
"He injected me with a strange liquid, and it got me under his control."
"Oh? Stage liquid?" The demon beast nodded to Xia Tian.
Seeing Xia Tian communicate with the demon beast, especially since it responded to him, made their jaws drop.
'This guy is so absurd! He can even communicate with beasts!' They muttered the same thing in their hearts.
"You've massacred this whole village; you even killed the little girl's parents. So-"
"Kill me! I don't want to continue being a demon beast like this."
Xia Tian nodded at it. "Ruxue, give it an easy death."
Mu Ruxue quickly used her technique, and the demon beast instantly froze completely, and before long, the ice broke into small grains.
Xia Tian purposely asked Mu Ruxue to do it because he didn't want the strange liquid inside the demon beast's body to spread around; that would create more trouble for him later.
After that, Xia Tian contacted Zhu Yuhe through the family mark and asked her to bring a lot of people because the villagers' corpses had to be properly buried.
Xia Tian then carried Shen Huang in his arms again. "Now you can rest easy, right? The demons that killed your parents and the villagers are dead."
"En, thank you, Big Brother." Shen Huang nodded then hugged Xia Tian's neck, and she cried tears of sadness and happiness at the same time.
Mo Xiaoqi then asked. "What are your plans for her, young master?"
"Hmm? "I figured I'd bring him over to our sect so she could live and cultivate in peace."
However, Shen Huang suddenly said. "Big brother, I don't want to stay in the sect; I want to come with you."
"Eh? You want to come with me?" Xia Tian asked in surprise.
Shen Huang looked at Xia Tian and nodded firmly. "En, I want to come with you wherever you go."
Xia Tian smiled and rubbed her cheek. "Alright, you can come with me, but I'll be in the sect more often for a while."
"En." Shen Huang nodded with a smile, then she hugged Xia Tian's neck again.
Two women suddenly landed near them, and one of them said. "Xia Tian, I will take Chen'er to another realm, but first we need to settle our debt."

My other novels
1. Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System: To begin with, Ling Yun's character was still too gentle and naive, when compared to Xia Tian, but he would change with time.
2. Otherworldly-Cultivator : There is no doubt about Chen Li's character, he adapts quickly, smart, gentle towards those closest to him, and sometimes wise. But he is also psychotic, vile, ruthless, and violent towards his enemies.
3. Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son: I have started rewriting this novel, and the story will be a lot different from the original novel.
