"So that kid really is the Alliance Leader’s son, and he actually participated in the Dragon List!"

Elder Sunx’s eyes glinted coldly, then he turned to look at Demon Elder and said in a deep voice, "Demon Elder, should we make a move?"

"Cut the grass and remove the roots!"

Demon Elder’s eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent as he shouted.

"No action!"

At this moment, a black-robed elder walked in.

"Master!"

Seeing the newcomer, the Demon Elder quickly stood up and called out.

"Leave that kid alone for now!"

This black-robed person was one of the group who had teamed up earlier to attack Xiao Chen, knowing he was Chong Lou.

"Why? He’s the son of the Bounty Hunter Alliance Leader, shouldn’t we cut the grass and remove the roots?"

Demon Elder asked in confusion.

"You will understand this later; for now, don’t touch him. Your aim is to take control of all the hunters in the Ancient Realm!"

The black-robed elder said coldly. The reason he didn’t let Demon Elder act against Xiao Yifeng was because of Chong Lou; after all, Xiao Yifeng is the son of the reincarnation of Chong Lou.

They didn’t know what Chong Lou felt about Xiao Yifeng. If they ended up killing him, it could anger Demon Lord Zhonglou from the Ancient Era, and they would all be doomed, so they stopped Demon Elder from acting.

As for Chong Lou, he was currently in a deep mountain in the Ancient Realm, where a cave room filled with dense demonic qi had been opened by someone.

Within this demonic qi sat a figure, and this figure was Xiao Chen, or more precisely, Chong Lou, because at this moment, the will of Chong Lou controlled this body.

Reincarnation usually leads to the integration of both past and present memories and wills into one.

Yet now, the will of the reincarnated Chong Lou rebirth was in conflict with his original self, Xiao Chen, just like the twin soul body of the Ice Snow Empress, vying for control of this body.

"Humph, you’re merely a soul will birthed from my reincarnation; this body was mine originally. Do you think you can fight me? Know your place!"

Chong Lou coldly spat, his eyes glinting with sinister cold light, and his entire being surged with a terrifying Demon Might.

"Your son is called Xiao Yifeng, right? No, he should be my son. Now he’s a genius ranked on the Dragon List. Tomorrow I’ll go and extinguish him to sever your hopes completely!"

Chong Lou’s face turned icy cold, his voice chilling as he spat.

"You dare?"

Just then, Xiao Chen’s voice suddenly rang out.

"You still dare to resist? Just disappear obediently!"

Chong Lou snorted coldly, the black mark on his brow extremely clear, from which terrifying demonic qi erupted, intending to suppress all of Xiao Chen’s power.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a series of booming sounds came from this body, and a force not belonging to Chong Lou burst forth from it.

This force was incredibly terrifying, emitting a scarlet light that gradually suppressed Chong Lou’s black demonic qi.

"I will absolutely not let you harm my son!"

Xiao Chen’s angry roar echoed as he began resisting Chong Lou, regaining control of this body.

"Damn it, get out! This is my body!"

Demon Lord Chong Lou raged; he had never expected that in his reincarnation rebirth, he would encounter such an issue, unable to fully control his own body.

"Essence Blood Burning, Red Sky Shatterer!"

Xiao Chen’s loud roar sounded, his body’s essence blood began to burn instantly.

A terrifying crimson light suddenly shot forth, creating a massive crater in the mountain, as endless crimson light began to annihilate the black demonic qi.

"Damn you, how dare you burn your essence blood!"

Chong Lou’s voice rang out, icy and furious.

"If you push me further, I’ll self-destruct this body right away; let’s see what you’ll do then!"

Xiao Chen shouted coldly.

"You dare?"

Chong Lou raged.

"Watch me dare! I’ll go down with you at worst!"

Xiao Chen shouted fearlessly.

The demonic qi within this body dissipated slightly, as Chong Lou’s voice sounded: "You’re ruthless, but eventually, I’ll control this body; then it will be the day I return as Demon Lord Chong Lou!"

"Humph!"

Xiao Chen snorted coldly, the crimson light on his body growing stronger, directly suppressing all the demonic qi on him.

"Little Feng, I will not let anyone hurt you!"

Xiao Chen said firmly, with a terrifying aura surging from him.

Xiao Yifeng knew nothing of what was happening with Xiao Chen; he had already left the Cheng Family and was heading back to Ling Sect.

But soon after he left, his sixth sense suddenly warned him of danger, his back hair standing on end, a sense of crisis appearing rapidly; he stopped in his tracks instantly and scanned his surroundings.

A figure appeared before him, it was the master of Compassionate Silence Nunnery, Miaoyin, whose terrifying aura directly locked onto him, revealing Dominant Realm strength.

"Predecessor Miaoyin, do you have any matters to discuss?"

Xiao Yifeng asked while looking at Miaoyin.

"I didn’t intend to do anything to you, but your existence affects Xin’er’s cultivation. As long as you live, she cannot calmly cultivate the Martial Path, failing her duties as a Saintess, so you must be sacrificed!"

Miaoyin said coldly.

Xiao Yifeng frowned, his eyes flashing with unusual light, "You wish to kill me?"

"That’s correct, it’s a pity, you’re a promising Martial Path talent, but sadly Xin’er has fallen for you, so for the future of Compassionate Silence Nunnery, you must be sacrificed!"

Miaoyin said, preparing to kill Xiao Yifeng, who inwardly lamented his misfortunes from being liked by someone.

He was about to summon the Golden Barbaric Bull when a figure suddenly rushed forward, directly kneeling before Miaoyin—it was Bai Xin’er.

"Xin’er!"

Seeing Bai Xin’er, Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but call out.

"Xin’er, what are you doing? Get up now!"

Miaoyin quickly urged.

"Master, if you don’t agree to spare him, I will kneel forever!"

Bai Xin’er stubbornly replied.

"You..."

Miaoyin’s face darkened.

"You’re degrading yourself for this guy!"

Miaoyin’s expression became exceedingly unpleasant.

"Master, please spare him. I will thoroughly throw myself into cultivation and not let you lose face, we can return to Compassionate Silence Nunnery now, and I’ll enter seclusion for cultivation, never to come out, never to meet him again, just don’t kill him!"

Bai Xin’er pleaded with tears shining in her eyes.

"Xin’er, don’t do this!"

Xiao Yifeng looked at Bai Xin’er, his expression complex, feeling uncomfortable and unsure how to respond.

He never expected Bai Xin’er to have such deep feelings for him; if not for their meeting at this Dragon List contest, he might’ve forgotten she existed.

He hadn’t anticipated Bai Xin’er would feel so sincerely about him, even kneeling on the ground to plead with her master, sparking feelings of guilt within Xiao Yifeng.
