I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 12

Yang (Song) Xiaofeng? Wow, this is exciting. Does it mean that this Young Hero Yang’s real surname is Song?

Chen Luoyang quickly checked Yang Xiaofeng’s life resume.

As expected, the first sentence was already extremely stunning.

[Biological father, Song Lun. Biological mother, Tong Zhen’er. When Tong Zhen’er was pregnant, she married Yang Xian, and the newborn son was named Yang Xiaofeng.]

Chen Luoyang was clicking his tongue as he read.

This next door, old Song is incredible.

Subsequently, Chen Luoyang suddenly felt that Song Lun’s name was rather familiar. He thought carefully about the time he read the information on the jade scrolls. There was a brief mention of this name.

Five Color Hall Master, “Nine Lives Soaring Dragon” Song Lun.

The Five Color Hall was one of the A-class factions, and Song Lun was one of the remaining and active underworld heroes within the Great Xia Empire. The Five Color Hall had been occupying the water channels in Yu Prefecture’s Mountain City. He was close to succeeding as king.

Hall Master “Nine Lives Soaring Dragon”, Song Lun was once the No. 1 individual of the underworld in the southwestern part of the Central Divine Province. He was the master of Yu Prefecture’s Seven Mountains and Twelve Ridges. At the same time, he was also the chief of the 36 water stockades on the upper reaches of the Great River.

The Five Color Hall of the Yu Prefecture was similar to the Great Unity Taoism Sect of the Er Prefecture and the Huayan Temple of the Shu Prefecture. They were all considered authoritative factions of their prefecture.

Everything was going smoothly for Song Lun. There were plenty of talented subordinates in the Five Color Hall, and they had remained standing for many years even when they were pincered between the Great Xia Empire and the Demon Cult.

However, there were too many people with the same family names and given names in this world. Was this Song Lun the same as the stated Song Lun?

Chen Luoyang read Yang Xiaofeng’s life resume again and saw this line.

[When he was six years old, he obtained a Cloud Star Herb that was secretly gifted by his biological father, Song Lun. It aided him to alter his meridians and transform his marrows. It allowed him to put down a firm foundation for martial dao cultivation.]

Chen Luoyang nodded slightly. His earlier intuition of danger was correct. Chen Luoyang nodded silently. There were quite a fair number of 16-year-old connate martial experts in A-class factions. However, for the Flying Phoenix Sect to nurture such a talented figure, they could only rely on luck. It might really be due to Yang Xiaofeng’s impressive personal talents and perception for him to have his current achievements, but it was definitely also contributed to by his biological father.

Cloud Star Herb?

Chen Luoyang stood up and walked to the bookshelf in the room. He took out and checked it carefully. According to the descriptions, the Cloud Star Herb was an extremely rare and expensive spirit herb. It was hard to find even a single stalk in the entire Grand Divine Province.

In order to find it, one would basically have to rely on luck. An ordinary person might be lucky enough to find it, but to use this spirit herb to alter the meridians and transform the marrow, it was necessary for a martial artist to be of at least the martial king level to do so, and it was a strict requirement.

Only the Song Lun from the Five Color Hall would fit such a requirement in this world.

This is truly interesting now…

Chen Luoyang thought in his heart.

According to the information from the Demon Cult, Song Lun’s cultivated absolute martial art was exceptionally good. It might not affect a man’s masculinity, but it prevented future offsprings. This wasn’t a secret and was basically known throughout the province.

After calculating the timing, 16 years ago, his martial dao might not have been at the completion stage; therefore, there was a chance then for him to produce offspring. Song Lun finally found Tong Zhen’er and his son, but kept it a secret and pretended as though he didn’t know.

Chen Luoyang guessed that this formidable figure of the martial world might not have wanted the outside world to know that he actually had an heir. Firstly, it would be safer for Tong Zhen’er and his son if it was kept a secret. Secondly, Song Lun wouldn’t have to worry about not having an heir and could work hard without restraints.

The Five Color Hall stood at the top of the Yu Prefecture and had awe-inspiring authority. However, they were like a ship that sailed in treacherous violent winds and surging waves. If they weren’t careful and capsized, they might never turn over again.

It was a pity that the world had plenty of unexpected situations. Yang Xiaofeng offended the Demon Cult and invited a disaster of extermination for the Flying Phoenix Sect. Young Hero Yang himself was also turned into a prisoner.

However, he didn’t know about his own history, and it was uncertain if Song Lun had received the news of his son’s capture or not.

Chen Luoyang’s mouth revealed an odd smile.

This is truly a pleasant surprise, or could this be an opportunity? I just don’t know if Hall Master Song has secretly sowed one seed or more. The Cloud Star Herb is extremely rare, and no matter how lucky Song Lun is, he couldn’t have a lot more. If he is willing to invest it on Yang Xiaofeng, it means that he views Yang Xiaofeng with great importance.

Chen Luoyang checked on the amount of blood-red serum in the black pot, and there was only a limited amount.

There wasn’t a need to use it on Song Lun for now. He gently knocked on the jade pendant and called for his subordinates. He instructed them to collect as much information about the other elite factions in the vicinity of the Shu Prefecture and also to pay attention to current events. This naturally included the Yu Prefecture that was connected with the Shu Prefecture.

The subordinates immediately acknowledged and were very efficient as they delivered the information that Chen Luoyang wanted in an extremely short period of time. Chen Luoyang read through the information unhurriedly and carefully.

For the next few days, Chen Luoyang had been cultivating and continued to read through all sorts of reports, books, and scrolls. There was something that had been on his mind.

His whereabouts at the Amrita Manor was known by outsiders. Who leaked it out?

The gray-clothed elder named Elder Fu had already sent back information. Ying Qingqing had headed north and went through the Shu Prefecture and was headed towards the northern Ba Prefecture’s Sword Pavilion. There wasn’t any anomaly.

Be it in experience in the martial world or in cultivation stage, Elder Fu was superior to the young girl. Logically speaking, Ying Qingqing shouldn’t have been able to notice Elder Fu stalking her.

If it isn’t her, then it must be someone within the Demon Cult…

Chen Luoyang had a pensive expression.

Right at this moment, his jade pendant rang. Chen Luoyang withdrew his thoughts and responded by knocking back on the jade pendant.

Soon enough, Vajra appeared in front of him and knelt down on one knee. “Reporting to Cult Master, that old man Shangguan Song came over.”

Shangguan Song?

Chen Luoyang thought back for a moment. Inside that life resume, before Chen Luoyang ascended to the Cult Master’s position, there was this description…

[Took over Protector?Zhurong

, Shangguan Song’s responsibility as a protector, who was then promoted to the Elder Pavilion to take up the role as the Seventh Elder.]

It might be a promotion to the Elder Pavilion, but it was actually a public promotion but a hidden demotion.

The secret temple like the Amrita Manor was only one of the feelers that the Demon Cult used to extend into the Central Divine Province. In the spacious Southern Desolate Demon Domain, there were branches in all locations. They each stood guard over spacious lands and established the Demon Cult’s local regime.

The branch protectors were all individuals who were governors of an entire region. The Elder Pavilion seemed like they had esteemed status, but the actual authority and benefits were lesser.

When Cult Master Chen took over, he vigorously promoted the young members. Shangguan Song, the Seventh Elder, was one of the elder faction’s members whose interests had suffered. Since he traveled thousands of miles from the Demon Domain to the Shu Prefecture, it definitely wasn’t going to be as simple as paying his respects.

Chen Luoyang immediately recalled the report that he received previously. The cult shrine was spreading information about him being severely injured, and the elder faction was getting restless. This Seventh Elder was here to investigate the truth. nove(l)bi(n.)com

“Let him in.” Chen Luoyang pondered in his mind while his face had an indifferent expression.

Vajra responded, “Understood.”

A short moment later, a refined-looking elder arrived. He bowed to Chen Luoyang and said, “Shangguan Song pays his respect to Cult Master.”

“This Seat doesn’t remember summoning you.” Chen Luoyang was still flipping through the scrolls and didn’t even turn to look at him.

Shangguan Song’s face had flawless etiquette as he said respectfully, “Cult Master has stopped in Shu Prefecture for many days without returning to the sacred land. Members of the cult are very concerned about you and entrusted this old one to visit you.”

“Is that so? So you people are being considerate, huh?” Chen Luoyang said indifferently. “Since you already visited, then you may return.”

Shangguan Song said, “I heard that the Cult Master is preparing to attack the Shu Prefecture?”

There wasn’t any anomaly from the physical appearance of Chen Luoyang. In order for Shangguan Song to find out if Chen Luoyang was injured, or if his injuries were severe, the attack on Shu Prefecture could expose some clues.

“This old one is untalented but wishes to contribute to our Divine Cult’s great cause…”

Before Shangguan Song could finish, Chen Luoyang immediately said, “Alright, then you shall be the vanguard.”

“…” The Demon Cult’s Seventh Elder suffocated a little as he said, “Uh, this old one will naturally obey Cult Master’s orders. But this old one has only visited alone…”

At this moment, Chen Luoyang’s eyes finally shifted away from the scrolls. A pair of eyes that flashed with black radiance looked at Shangguan Song quietly. “Is there a problem?”
