  Chapter 164: “Devoured (2)”

  “Roooooaaaaar!!!” The Golden Lion let out a blood curdling roar as it trashed about, trying to shake the black beast off, however the black beast tightened its grip on the Golden Lion’s neck and used its claws to hold on.

  The battle between these two monstrous beasts was fierce and brutal to the extreme as all eyes were locked onto the vicious onslaught.

  When the black beast gradually gained the upper hand, Mo Xuan Fei’s eyes were bulging out as he glared in madness, his face twisted into an ugly expression filled with disbelief.

  How could this be?

  His almighty Golden Lion, how could it be suppressed so easily by that black beast?

  Suddenly, Mo Xuan Fei felt a strong sharp pain, as if someone was trying to pull his very soul away from him. His breathing grew raspy as he clutched his chest, gasping for air. There was a very heavy pressure as if a tyrannical force was trying to rip off part of his soul. He struggled to look up…

  The immediate scene left everyone who witnessed it shocked and speechless.

  The black beast who had pinned the Golden Lion beneath its paws was now beginning to bite off chunks of the Golden Lion. The contractual beasts could transform into physical form however they did not have real flesh and blood, their physical appearance was only a combination of their soul and spirit energy. Hence when the black beast started to devour the Golden Lion, there was no blood and gore,

  it just simply dissipated into thin air.

  How could this be?

  As Mo Xuan Fei felt his soul being slowly ripped apart, bit by bit, he was clutching on tightly to his chest, gnashing his teeth, as he struggled to try to understand what was happening. Other than the mad gleam in his eyes, it reflected his Golden Lion being devoured by the black beast, an excruciating pain filled his whole body.

  Not to mention Mo Xuan Fei, even Mo Qian Yuan and the other Rui Lin soldiers were shocked beyond words as they witnessed the black beast slowly swallowing large chunks of the Golden Lion.

  It was simply unheard of for a contractual spirit to be devoured!

  They were only a combination of soul and spiritual energy, how could they be devoured by other creatures?!

  This was simply unprecedented!

  Mo Qian Yuan forced himself to steer his attention away as his gaze rested on Jun Wu Xie’s face and to his surprise, her smile had faded and she was looking thoughtfully at the scene that was unfolding.

  Jun Wu Xie did not notice that she was in Mo Qian Yuan’s line of sight, all her attention was focused on the black beast.

  Be it past or present, Little Black had always been by her side, however no one knew that in a sense, it was part of her soul.

  In the past, that madman had delved deep into various sinister researches using the most advanced technology and Little Black was one of them.

  The black body was a synthesized body, it harnessed more strength than a regular beast, however it had not much intelligence, more accurately, it was an incomplete product. The madman’s experiment that time was on to forcefully bind an incomplete soul and a human soul together, this fusion of two completely different species and their souls were forcefully linked.

  With this established, wherever Wu Xie’s soul resided, the little black cat followed.

  The little black cat is hence a product of the soul, somewhat similar to a contractual spirit, however not exactly the same.

  The little black cat transmitted a shocking message to Jun Wu Xie. It could devour the Golden Lion and fully absorb it’s spiritual energy!

  This was a shocking new discovery!

  Jun Wu Xie’s interest was piqued. What kind of changes would devouring the Golden Lion bring about? Would it be like digesting food or would other variables come into play?

  Jun Wu Xie calmed down as she watched on with great interest, awaiting her answer.

  That regal Golden Lion was slowly being devoured in the main Imperial Hall, right in front of everyone, despite there not being a drop of blood, everyone found this scene very disturbing.

  What in the world was that black beast to even devour contractual spirits?!

  Volume 2

  Chapter 165: “Devoured (3)”

  The Kingdom of Qi’s most powerful Golden Lion was being devoured, bit by bit, by the black beast, other than Jun Wu Xie, everyone else’s mind was frazzled at the sight, leaving only the black beast who stood there licking it’s paws in delight in a contented manner.

  The black beast wagged it’s tail as it walked towards Jun Wu Xie, as it let out… a meow.

  “Meow…”

  Everybody almost toppled over when they heard that.

  “………” The awe-inspiring black beast who had shrouded the hearts of many in fear instantly vanished.

  How could the black beast who could easily devour a Golden Lion sound…sound so… cute?

  It’s awe-inspiring domineering image instantly crumbled.

  [I’ve never ate so full before!]

  “Do you feel any difference?” Jun Wu Xie did not know what impact that the huge contrast of it’s voice and appearance had on everyone as she patted its head and started to inspect it’s body.

  “Meow.”

  [Not at all! Just feel very, very full… very satisfied..*yawn* can I go sleep for a moment?]

  After eating it’s fill, the black beast felt a wave of drowsiness wash over it as it even had difficulty standing.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded as it circled her once and as suddenly as it appeared, it disappeared as suddenly as well, leaving not a single trace.

  After witnessing the black beast devouring the Golden Lion, Mo Qian Yuan subconsciously touched his neck and felt that being trampled underfoot by that black beast was not such a shameful thing after all, at least he was not eaten!

  The chaotic Imperial Hall began to restore its previous calm after the black beast disappeared.

  Mo Xuan Fei suddenly screamed, as he fell off the wheelchair and he rolled about the cold marble floor. He was having a seizure as his hands tightly gripped his collar, his face contorted in agony and was in so much pain that his face was almost white, as he struggled and writhed about, large beads of perspiration soaked through his blood stained clothes, leaving him in a more than sorry state.

  From ancient times, no one has ever heard of a contractual spirit being devoured. However what that transpired moments ago left a huge shadow looming as the black beast had not left a shred of Golden Lion behind and had thoroughly devoured it. Does that mean that Mo Xuan Fei had lost it’s contractual spirit for good?

  Everyone subconsciously looked towards his ring finger. Originally, a sparkling golden ring was proudly sitting on his finger, however now what replaced it was a rusty dilapidated ring which was on his trembling finger and fine line cracks spread over it like a spider web.

  Suddenly, the ring just shattered into smithereens, falling onto the marble floor.

  The contractual ring….broke?!

  Such a situation was unprecedented as a huge commotion stirred.

  Contractual spirits upon awakening, will follow their masters until the end of their master’s death. Upon the death of their master, the ring will dissipate and disappear, unlike what had happened, the ring simply shattered!

  They had originally thought that as long as the person was alive, no matter how weak their contractual spirit was, it would not die and just lay deep in slumber.

  But what they witnessed revolutionalised their thoughts.

  Contractual spirits would not die but could be devoured!

  After being devoured, it was equivalent to death, shattering the contractual ring. The person will…

  Looking at the sorry state Mo Xuan Fei was in as he continued writhing about the floor in anguish and pain made their scalps tingle. No one wanted to experience that, it was simply a living hell!

  Volume 2

  Chapter 166: “Devoured (4)”

  The Emperor was tremblin
g at the sight of Mo Xuan Fei that was lying on the floor, he felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife.

  He did not deny that when Mo Xuan Fei had summoned the Golden Lion, he was elated and felt that they had a high chance to win.

  However when he saw the bitter struggle it put up, and when it started being devoured by Jun Wu Xie’s black beast, he had a sinking feeling and a bad premonition stirred from within the depths of his heart.

  Jun Wu Xie was a devil incarnate!

  The Emperor no longer viewed her as a normal person, she was able to achieve so much at such a young age and able to scheme things to such an extent and her plan to force him to abdicate was not something a fourteen year old could achieve. Moreover, her black beast was able to devour the Golden Lion…

  She was simply not a human! She was a devil!

  The Emperor felt chills running down his spine, quivering as he sat back down on the throne. He did not dare utter a single word to plead on behalf of Mo Xuan Fei.

  “Carry him back.” Jun Wu Xie furrowed her brows and looked disapprovingly at Mo Xuan Fei who was twitching on the floor and started foaming at his mouth. This person could not wait for her second blow and had was already on the verge of death.

  Two Rui Lin soldiers lifted him onto the wheelchair, this time he no longer resisted, he was delirious and his mouth was foaming.

  His contractual spirit was devoured which resulted in injuring his very soul.

  After witnessing everything, Bai Yun Xian was frightened to the extreme as she cowered in fear, curling up as she tried to hide behind the column, hoping that Jun Wu Xie could not find her.

  Unfortunately, how could Jun Wu Xie forget about someone who had ‘specially taken care’ of her grandfather?

  As Jun Wu Xie glanced at Mo Qian Yuan, he immediately understood what she meant as he took two Rui Lin soldiers with him and dragged Bai Yun Xian out from behind the column, ignoring the shrill screams and even stuffed her mouth with a cloth as they dragged her to one side, waiting for her sentence.

  Now the Emperor’s abdication prelude was over, time for the main event.

  Jun Wu Xie’s smile had long disappeared as she looked coldly at the throne, taking slow deliberate steps closer, and closer to the Emperor whose face was ashen by now.

  “D..Don’t come any closer…” The Emperor trembled and shirked back in fear, her cold eyes that had locked onto him made him feel as if a chilling tempest had descended and he was caught up in it and had no way to escape.

  “I only want to ask a question.” Jun Wu Xie looked at him in the eye.

  “What question do you have?” The Emperor looked nervously at Jun Wu Xie, cold sweat soaked his entire back.

  “My father died, my uncle was hurt, was it you who acted in the shadows and caused all of these?” Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes as she looked at him icily.

  The Emperor’s entire body was shaking in fear by now as he shiftily tried to avoid her intense gaze.

  He did not dare to reply… and also he could not reply…

  If he replied, he will die!

  “It’s no..not..not me..” he forcibly squeezed out.

  Jun Wu Xie curled her lips upwards as she swiftly took out five needles.

  “This is what you asked for.” Till this point, he still did not want to admit to it, there was only one way left, that was the road to death!

  Jun family’s decline was definitely not an accident and gathering from the reactions and evasiveness of Jun Xian and Jun Qing when she had probed on her father’s death, she had guessed that it was the Emperor who was playing behind the scene.

  After Lin Palace had won the war, the Emperor had decided to get rid of them nce they had served their purposes. He actually had the audacity to treat them like his pawns and dispose of them in such sinister ways!

  “I’ll give you a chance to decide what to write on your tablet.”

  Mo Qian Yuan was surprised, before he could think further on what she meant, the next second, a shrill cry resounded throughout the Imperial Hall, it was so shocking that he even dropped his silver spear on the floor.

  Volume 2

  Chapter 167: “Regime Change (1)”

  The five needles were ruthlessly stabbed into the Emperor’s eyes directly, the Emperor let out a horrifying scream as he trashed about the throne.

  Jun Wu Xie looked at him expressionlessly, without an ounce of pity.

  She would not let the Emperor die so easily, he owes their Jun Family a great deal, nothing he could atone for, not even with his measly life. She wanted him to pay back the interest, bit by bit.

  “Throw the three of them into the dungeon.” She scoffed in an icy tone.

  The Rui Lin Army were inwardly shocked at Jun Wu Xie’s ruthlessness and were perplexed that she had totally disregarded the Emperor’s identity.

  How was this an abdication? It was simply a regicide!

  After a short moment, the Emperor, Second Prince and Bai Yun Xian were dragged to the dungeons. The very same three were high and almighty just the night before were now dragged away like dead dogs, pride and dignity were completely crushed by Jun Wu Xie.

  Mo Qian Yuan was staring at the empty throne, in a trance.

  What just happened?

  He had thought of his speech for this moment, however not a word he had prepared for was used. Jun Wu Xie solved everything…in the most simple and crudest method there was!

  “The culprits had infiltrated deep into the Palace and poisoned the Emperor and the Second Prince. Unfortunately, the Emperor did not survive the vile poison and has departed us. Our Kingdom cannot move on without a ruler.” Jun Wu Xie held up her handkerchief, wiped her soft hands and swept her expressionless gaze over Mo Qian Yuan.

  He looked at her with an incredulous expression, unable to mask his current emotions. This girl! In this short simple sentence, she was able to cover up and give a valid reason for him to ascend the throne.

  These words seemed full of loopholes, however they did coincide with all the events that had happened in the Imperial City.

  The poison was traced all the way back to the Yu Lin Army, hence if the Emperor and Second Prince were poisoned, it was not so hard to believe.

  “What are you going to do with them?” Mo Qian Yuan could not help but ask as he looked at her with a trace of apprehension.

  The methods she used against them were ruthless and merciless, leaving them alive certainly did not spell well for them.

  “Qing Yun Clan will very soon reach the Imperial City so Bai Yun Xian cannot die, yet.” Jun Wu Xie looked down as she recalled Bai Yun Xian’s threat.

  Not knowing what method she used to contact the Qing Yun Clan, for the time being she had to keep her alive.

  “You’re going to keep her alive? But what if she’s able to contact them and told them the truth…” Mo Qian Yuan did not dare imagine the aftermath if they were to learn the truth. He was not afraid if the people had learnt the truth but he was afraid of the retaliation by Qing Yun Clan if they were to know. “Qing Yun Clan’s Sovereign was very partial and over protective of its disciples, there was an incident whereby a group of Qing Yun Clan disciples were out travelling and were robbed by a group of bandits. Not only the whole group of bandits were exterminated, even the officials and their entire family were dragged in and were all executed due to their negligence that resulted in their disciples being robbed. Bai Yun Xian was the Sovereign’s direct disciple, if her master found out that she had suffered here, I’m afraid of the consequences…”

  Jun Wu Xie gave Mo Qian Yuan a glance, “They won’t know.”

  “What?!”

  “Bai Yun Xian will not utter a single word.” Jun Wu Xie replied.

  Mo Qian Yuan looked at her with mixed emotions, he did not know how much of her abilities had she not revealed, however since she said not to worry, he did not give it any more thought.

  “You just need to prepare for the ascension of the throne, there’s no need to worry about anything els
e.” Jun Wu Xie said before leaving the Imperial Hall.

  Volume 2

  Chapter 168: “Regime Change (2)”

  Barely half the day had passed after the Crown Prince Mo Qian Yuan led the Rui Lin Army into the Imperial Palace that news of the Emperor’s passing spread in the Imperial City. It was decreed that Mo Qian Yuan was to succeed the throne.

  The ascension ceremony was to be held seven days later.

  The Kingdom of Qi‘s regime changed, quiet and calm.

  With Jun Wu Xie’s bloody massacre of the Emperor’s lackeys and sycophants at the Palace Gates, not a single voice was heard in protest at the throne ascension ceremony.

  The court officials were vividly aware of the close relationship between Mo Qian Yuan and Jun Wu Xie, and with Mo Qian Yuan ascending the throne to be the Emperor, the vacant position of Empress might very soon belong to Jun Wu Xie. Moreover, with the fearsome Rui Lin Army still garrisoned within the Imperial City, they would very much rather keep their heads.

  The ascension ceremony preparations went on without a hitch, Mo Qian Yuan ordered the Imperial Palace cleaned thoroughly, from top to bottom, got rid of a bunch of palace maids and eunuchs who served the Second Prince and the previous Emperor, and gained full control of the Imperial Palace.

  From having had his life under threat, to his ascension as the Emperor. It had only been a mere few months. It all felt like a dream.

  If not for Jun Wu Xie, he would have died in the Crown Prince Residence.

  “Your Majesty, the things have been sent to the Lin Palace, as per your orders.” Mo Qian Yuan had two more days to the ascension, but the eunuchs in the Imperial Palace had all already taken up the form of address usually reserved only for the reigning ruler.
