I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 13

When facing those black radiant eyes, Shangguan Song lowered his head. When facing such a formidable individual, even if Chen Luoyang was injured, he didn’t dare to face the Cult Master by himself.

“To be able to blaze a new trail for the Divine Cult is this old one’s honor,” Shangguan Song said in a light voice. “This old one is only worried that I am aged and incapable. I might delay the Divine Cult and Cult Master’s great plans.”

“That isn’t something you should be worried about.” Chen Luoyang turned back and continued reading while saying, “You just have to act according to orders.”

“…Yes, I shall comply with Cult Master’s orders.” Shangguan Song took a deep breath. He used his peripheral vision and saw Vajra standing by the side while grinning and letting out a chuckle.

Shangguan Song wanted to cry but didn’t have tears.

Chen Luoyang’s face didn’t have any waves of emotions, while his heart had relaxed. It seemed like his plans were already having some initial success.

Settling Law King Huijue and the Shu Prefecture Governor; giving the orders to muster troops to invade the Shu Prefecture; displaying an aggressive attitude for advancement. For all those people who had the intention to revolt, these actions that Chen Luoyang took didn’t allow them to find out clearly about his injuries.

When Shangguan Song took the initiative to come over, it had actually exposed his guilty conscience. If Chen Luoyang was able to continue stalling until the day he fully recovered, it would be a whole different situation.

It wasn’t easy, but Chen Luoyang had to try his best.

At this moment, Chen Luoyang’s jade pendant rang three times. Chen Luoyang skillfully responded with three taps too.

Two individuals entered. One of them was a middle-aged man, Azure Dragon 5. The other was a pale-looking and slim youth.

“Azure Dragon Hall’s Azure Dragon 3 pays his respect to Cult Master. Long live Cult Master.”

Chen Luoyang nodded indifferently. Previously he had used the excuse of giving a test and tricked Azure Dragon 5 to speak of the Azure Dragon Hall’s rough situation.

Azure Dragon 3 was one of the two individuals among the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations who was responsible for gathering and handling information.

Similar to Azure Dragon 5, he didn’t excel in the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations because of his martial strength and had extremely heavy responsibilities. He was the Azure Dragon Hall and also the Demon Cult’s eyes and ears.

He commanded a hierarchy of subordinates, and they were innumerable. There were scouts who had eyes and ears that could enter any place. During normal days, Azure Dragon 3 would be traveling around the world, and his whereabouts would be indeterminate.

As the Cult Master was going to conduct a punitive expedition in the Shu Prefecture, and because there was a great battle imminent, he had specially returned to receive orders from the Cult Master.

“Tell me then,” Chen Luoyang said.

Azure Dragon 3 replied, “Reporting to Cult Master, there are indeed Great Xia Empire’s martial kings that entered the Shu Prefecture. Currently, we have already verified a total of two. As for the nearby northern Ba Prefecture, there are already signs of experts from the Sword Pavilion that are going to head south. Their intention is to assist the Huayan Temple that resides in the center of the Shu Prefecture. A verification is to be conducted on their numbers and identities.”

“At the eastern Yu Prefecture, the Five Color Hall also has activity. The Five Color Hall Master, Song Lun might personally enter the Shu Prefecture.”

“The Er Prefecture’s Great Unity Taoism Sect and Qin Prefecture’s Zhao Clan also show signs of personnel mobilization. However, they have yet to depart. This subordinate will order my men to monitor them closely.”

“Apart from them, the?Qingliang

Temple’s Elder Mingjing just happened to visit the Huayan Temple as a guest. I believe that he will stay behind to offer the Huayan Temple assistance.”

Chen Luoyang nodded in response.

Qingliang Temple and Huayan Temple were both part of the three Buddhist factions. They were located far away at the northern Jin Prefecture’s Qingliang Mountain. They were both at the head of the three Buddhist factions, and they were located far away from the head of the Taoist factions, Great Unity Taoism Sect. One was in the north, and one was in the south.

The Qingliang Temple was superior to the Huayan Temple even though they were both A-class factions.

Chen Luoyang didn’t know much about Elder Mingjing. But since Azure Dragon 3 gave a special mention, then he must be a formidable Buddhist martial king.

“Song Lun has always been benefiting from staying between our cult and the Great Xia Empire. This time, he is actually traveling far just to offer assistance to the Huayan Temple and to confront our cult. It is entirely different from his style of work in the past.” Azure Dragon 5 asked while feeling puzzled, “The Huayan Temple doesn’t have that much influence. Could the Great Xia Empire or the Sword Pavilion be behind this? What could the benefits be for Song Lun to actually risk his life?”

Yang Xiaofeng…

Chen Luoyang thought in his mind.

Yang Xiaofeng is probably the main reason for Song Lun to enter the Shu Prefecture. It was now clear that this son had an extraordinary spot in Song Lun’s heart. Yang Xiaofeng might be his sole descendant.

As Chen Luoyang was racking his brains, his face remained calm and composed.

“Arrange a detailed record of all these people’s information and present it to This Seat.” He then instructed, “In addition, continue to investigate and verify their exact circumstances. The best is to track down their whereabouts.”

Azure Dragon 3 kowtowed and said, “Yes, this subordinate understands.”

Azure Dragon 5 spoke at this moment, “Reporting to Cult Master, Hall Chief sent a letter back. He mentioned that he is currently disguised and working undercover, and it is at a crucial moment. He might not be able to make it for the battle at Shu Prefecture. About that…”

“It doesn’t matter,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently.

Azure Dragon Hall Chief, one of the most authoritative members in the Demon Cult apart from the Cult Master…

Chen Luoyang noticed that when the Hall Chief was mentioned, Shangguan Song’s expression became more solemn.

Azure Dragon 5 continued talking, “Big Sister 1 sent a letter saying that she is reaching Shu Prefecture and will be here in a few more days.”

Big Sister 1?

Chen Luoyang pondered.

Is he referring to Azure Dragon 1?

The First Azure Dragon Constellation, the leader of the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations. In the Demon Cult’s Azure Dragon Hall, her status and strength were only inferior to the Hall Chief.

Different from Azure Dragon 5 who was responsible for logistics and constructions and Azure Dragon 3 who was responsible for information, Azure Dragon 1 was specialized in assassination and the annihilation of the Demon Cult’s enemies.

Before Chu Xincheng, the previous Shu Prefecture Governor died in the hands of Azure Dragon 1 three months ago.

“What about the others?” Chen Luoyang remained calm and collected.

“Cult Master instructed me to call for the members nearby. This time, the three protectors — Snow Domain Plateau’s?Xingtian

, Dian Prefecture’s Zhurong, and Qian Prefecture’s?Kuafu

— are bringing their branch’s experts and entering the Shu Prefecture from three directions. They will work with our Azure Dragon Hall to take down Shu Prefecture. They will be arriving in a few days.”

“No need to wait anymore, issue the order to them. Ask them to rendezvous with us at Shu Prefecture. We will depart for the north right now.” Chen Luoyang stood up and said, “Vajra, prepare the carriage.”

“Yes, Cult Master!” Vajra responded loudly.

Azure Dragon 3 and Azure Dragon 5 quickly responded too, “This subordinate shall obey Cult Master’s orders.”

On the other hand, Shangguan Song was astonished. This chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Chen Luoyang walked past Shangguan Song and said, “This Seat is looking forward to seeing Seventh Elder clearing the obstacles as the vanguard.”

“…” Shangguan Song forced out a smile and said, “This old one shall devote himself and strive to do his best until death.”

The Amrita Manor had already converted from dark to light. It was used as a fulcrum for the Demon Cult to seize the entire Cloud Martial County and also the entire southern part of the Shu Prefecture.

It was fine when the Demon Cult didn’t make a move, but once they made a move, it was swift like lightning. They swept through the southern part of the Shu Prefecture like how autumn wind would sweep fallen leaves.

However, before they could occupy this place completely, it would be determined by the outcome of the subsequent battle at Shu Prefecture.

After arriving in this world, this was Chen Luoyang’s first time walking out of the Amrita Manor. When he saw the spacious skies and lands on the outside, he felt carefree and relaxed.

When he saw the carriage that Vajra prepared, he was rather stunned.

Vajra addressed himself as a coachman. To be honest, only an expert like him would be able to steer this Demon Sovereign’s carriage.

The Demon Sovereign’s carriage wasn’t pulled by horses; it was pulled by six flood dragons that were a hundred meters long.

It was because the Grand Divine Province’s true dragons were extinct; otherwise, Chen Luoyang suspected that the Demon Cult might really capture true dragons for their Cult Master as mounts.

The carriage didn’t look luxurious and was actually classical and unadorned. However, the interior of the carriage was just like a palace.

Chen Luoyang could enter with all of his attendants and still be able to move around with ease.

I am really curious where you people hid this toy previously.

Chen Luoyang ridiculed frenziedly in his heart.

When looking at the so-called “carriage” in front of him, his facial muscles nearly spasmed and he wasn’t able to maintain a composed expression.

Subsequently, holding the six dragons by the reins, the carriage flew into the sky. The giant palace lifted off and soared through the sky, departing from the Amrita Manor.

Apart from the members staying to stand guard in the manor, the rest of the Demon Cult members utilized their various methods to keep up. Some of them rode on spirit birds to fly in the sky; some rode on mythical beasts to cross the mountain ridges. They might all be using various methods, but everything was in order.

In an instant, a Demon Cult army was assembled and was marching up north.

In the sky, Chen Luoyang made a rough observation and realized that this dragon carriage had quite a good speed. At this moment, he had an initial understanding of how vast the Grand Divine Province was.

When he read the , he felt that the Grand Divine Province’s topography and partition of regions were rather similar to his homeland, the Blue Star. However, as the flood dragons pulled the carriage through the air, he checked a few of the locations along the way, and Chen Luoyang realized that the surface area of this world was much larger than the Blue Star.

It was as though the proportions were several times bigger.

This world’s population is probably far more than I can imagine…

Chen Luoyang thought in his heart.

There might be many martial artists, but when compared with the massive population, they were ultimately the minority.

It wasn’t just the case; otherwise, the commoners wouldn’t be able to provide for so many martial artists who devoted themselves to the martial arts and weren’t productive at all.

While Chen Luoyang was mulling things over, the others didn’t idle around. Especially the Demon Cult’s Seventh Elder, Shangguan Song.

He didn’t have a choice and had to take charge of the heavy responsibility as the vanguard.

After being duped by the Cult Master, the Seventh Elder vented all his anger onto the Shu Prefecture’s factions that stood in front of him.

All those who didn’t surrender were killed without mercy.

The Demon Cult army traveled up north while conquering or destroying all the local factions, dyeing the Shu Prefecture with a unique color.

They were gradually approaching the Shu Prefecture’s Golden Summit.

From other directions in the Divine Province, many other powerful currents were gathering towards the Golden Summit.
