Kong Qing cried for a long time before venting his resentment.
Lin Jiansheng waited for Kong Qing to calm down before carrying him back to their bed. Kong Qing was already an adult, but he still insisted on sleeping on the same bed as Lin Jiansheng. Only with someone lying beside him did he feel at ease.
The father and son cuddled on the bed while Kong Qing curled up in Lin Jianshengâs arms with his back facing him. Kong Qingâs sleeping posture was always like that of a fetus, and he could only fall asleep by curling up.
Lin Jiansheng patted Kong Qingâs arm gently and said, âYou were the one behind Caro Zhengyangâs incident, right?â
Kong Qing sniffed and admitted it. âItâs me.â He grabbed Lin Jianshengâs arm and said angrily, âYouâre not allowed to interfere in this matter. Even if the Caro Clan comes looking for you, youâre not allowed to interfere in this matter.â
âAlright, I donât care.â Ever since Lin Jiansheng heard Sheng Lingfeng mention that Caro Zhengyang had formed a Demon Fetus, he had suspected Kong Qing. Other than Kong Qing, Lin Jiansheng couldnât think of anyone else who could cast an evil spell on Caro Zhengyang.
But the question was, how did Kong Qing cast the evil spell on Caro Zhengyang?
Caro Zhengyang was a Prime Emperor. How could he not sense the additional magic power in his body?
âKong Qing, how did you manage to bewitch Caro Zhengyang so discreetly? His cultivation level is high, so why couldnât he sense that your demonic aura had already entered his body?â
In the darkness, Kong Qing pursed his lips and revealed a somewhat evil smile. He told Lin Jiansheng, âAs early as when the Caro Clan held the Prime Emperor banquet for Caro Zhengyang, when I shook hands with him, I injected my main bodyâs demonic aura into his body.â
After a pause, Kong Qing continued, âIâm his child. His bloodline flows in my body. My demonic aura can be detected by anyone in this world, but he wonât, because my demonic aura and me are a part of him.â
âI seeâ¦â Caro Zhengyang really had it coming.
âThen can he take out this Demon Fetus?â
Kong Qing shook his head. âNo. Thereâs only one way for him to take out that Demon Fetus.â Kong Qing suddenly squeezed Lin Jianshengâs hand tightly. He said, âKill me, and the demonic aura in his body will naturally disappear.â
However, in this world, only Lin Jiansheng and Su Xuanye had the ability to kill Kong Qing.
Lin Jiansheng subconsciously hugged Kong Qingâs trembling body and said, âDaddy will always protect you. I wonât hurt you, nor will I let Su Xuanye hurt you.â
The evil smile on Kong Qingâs lips slowly turned gentle and innocent. âI believe you.â
Kong Qing turned around and burrowed into Lin Jianshengâs arms. He grabbed the collar of Lin Jianshengâs pajamas and said in a choked voice, âHe has to experience all the pain that my mother has endured. This is only the beginning. The terrifying thing is yet to come.â
Originally, Kong Qing wanted to find Caro Zhengyang and kill all the people of the Caro Clan, just like how the ancient mermaid slaughtered the entire Merman Clan. However, he didnât want to do that. If he killed Caro Zhengyang, it would be called revenge. If he killed the entire Caro Clan, it would be called slaughter.
His father didnât like children who killed the innocent.
He wanted to be a good child.
Lin Jiansheng said, âAlright! I support you!â
Caro Zhengyang was indeed a jerk. He should be punished.
â¦
At this moment, the Caro Clan disciples and elders still didnât know about Prime Emperor Zhengyang being possessed.
As the president of the Beast Tamer Alliance, Caro Zhengyang had three working assistants under his name. Caro Zhengyang hadnât appeared to deal with the matters of the alliance for two weeks. The documents that he needed to look through had already piled up into a small hill.
The assistant piloted the helicopter and moved all the documents that Caro Zhengyang needed to handle to the floating island in the Divine Sea.
The assistant was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a dark blue tie around his neck. The assistant was a wandering cultivator with a Supreme Master cultivation level. His name was Fu Yuâan. He had worked for the Alliance for more than twenty years and had already assisted three Presidents.
The first president he had assisted was Yin Mingjueâs father, Yin Sikong. The second president was Sheng Lingfeng, and Caro Zhengyang was the third.
Therefore, although Fu Yuâan only had the cultivation of a Supreme Master, his status and authority in the Alliance Headquarters werenât inferior to those vice presidents. If the President was compared to the Emperor, then Fu Yuâan was the Grand Tutor who assisted the Emperor.
Fu Yuâan alighted from the helicopter and was immediately respectfully invited to Caroâs small courtyard.
This was Fu Yuâanâs first time coming to an island in the sky. He couldnât help but feel speechless and curious about the extravagance of the Caro Clan. He sized up the island with a shocked expression.
It was true that the Caro Clan was rich and powerful.
âSecretary Fu.â The chief steward brought Fu Yuâan into the magnificent banquet hall and invited him to sit on a pure leather sofa. As soon as Fu Yuâan sat down, the sofa under him spoke in human language and said, âDear guest, do you need a massage mode?â
Fu Yuâan was shocked.
He stood up and turned to look down at the sofa. Only then did he realize that there was a pair of black beast eyes on the back of the sofa. âThis isâ¦?â After living for almost a hundred years, this was the first time Fu Yuâan had seen such a strange sofa.
Seeing that Fu Yuâan was frightened, the chief steward hurriedly explained, âSecretary Fu, donât be afraid. The skin of this sofa is made of the skin of the Jade Beast. The nerves of the Jade Beast grow in the pores of its skin. The skin of the Jade Beast is delicate and is most suitable for making a sofa. After this kind of demon beast dies, its consciousness will exist with its skin. It has the ability to massage guests and automatically adjust the temperature of the sofa.â
âSecretary Fu, please sit for a moment. Iâll go get Prime Emperor Zhengyang.â
â⦠Okay.â
Fu Yuâan stared at those eyes. When he thought about how this skin was peeled off from a demon beast, he couldnât bear to sit down.
Fu Yuâan simply stood there and waited for six to seven minutes. Then, he heard heavy footsteps of someone coming down the luxurious spiral staircase. Fu Yuâanâs hands immediately hung in front of him. He turned around and lowered his head in the direction of the stairs. âPresident, I heard that youâre not feeling well. Are you feeling better?â
Caro Zhengyang replied weakly, âIâm in good spirits.â
Although he said that he was in good spirits, Fu Yuâan felt that Caro Zhengyang wasnât in a good state of mind. His voice sounded tired and weak.
Fu Yuâan looked up and was shocked to see Caro Zhengyangâs pale face.
With Prime Emperor Zhengyangâs current cultivation, what illness could torture him to this extent?
Beast Tamers like them wouldnât catch a cold. If they were seriously ill with cancer, there were also high-level healers who could treat them. Prime Emperor Zhengyangâs cultivation level was high and his status was noble. If he was sick, as long as the news was released, the threshold of the Caro Clan would be filled with healers from everywhere.
Why was he so sick?
Caro Zhengyang pointed at the sofa and said, âSit down. Letâs sit down and talk.â
Fu Yuâan sat down on the sofa uneasily.
The sofa probably sensed Fu Yuâanâs uneasiness, so it didnât ask him if he needed a massage or to adjust the temperature of the sofa.
Caro Zhengyang leaned against the armchair sickly and looked at Fu Yuâan with narrowed eyes. He said, âI havenât been to the Alliance for a long time. I must have accumulated a lot of documents to deal with. I heard that you brought all the documents over. Iâll get Zhong An to bring someone to get them.â
Fu Yuâan was indeed here to deliver the document, but seeing that Caro Zhengyang was sick and didnât have much strength to speak, how could he be heartless enough to let him handle official business? Fu Yuâan thought for a while and said, âPresident, I see that youâre mentally exhausted and not suitable for work. Why donât I bring the document back first and let you deal with it after you recover?â
Caro Zhengyang waved his hand and said, âThe documents that need my approval arenât small matters. They canât be delayed.â Caro Zhengyang called out, âZhong An.â
The main butler quickly bowed. âPrime Emperor, please speak.â
âGet someone to bring the documents over and put them in my study.â
âOkay.â
Caro Zhengyang then said to Fu Yuâan, âSecretary Fu, since youâre already here, stay for lunch before returning.â
As the chief secretary of the Alliance, Fu Yuâan was busy with work, so he naturally wouldnât eat here. âThereâs no need to stay to eat. I came this time because I have something to discuss with you.â
âHuh? What is it?â
Fu Yuâan said, âIn the past week, all the major families on the Holy Spirit Continent have been investigating the traitors. Currently, a total of 2,165 members have been found to have submitted to the Blood Peacock Organization. More than 100 of them have been dealt with by their families. However, we have no idea how to deal with the remaining 2,005 traitors. Directly beheading them will also be a huge loss to our cultivation world. The vice presidentsâ opinion is to detain them first. After the battle is over and the Blood Peacock dies, we will deal with them all. President, in your opinion, where should we imprison them?â
âThat many?â Caro Zhengyang was clearly shocked by this number.
Fu Yuâan said, âThese are only the traitors counted by the major families. There must be many members of the Blood Peacock Organization hidden among the itinerant cultivators.â
Caro Zhengyangâs expression turned cold. He thought about it and said, âThe war is imminent. We definitely canât let Su Xuanye save these people. Why donât we lock them up in the Beast Tamer Prison? Thatâs the most heavily guarded place in the world. I believe Su Xuanye will be helpless even if he wants to save them.â
Fu Yuâan said, âThe vice presidents have the same thoughts as you.â Indeed, the Beast Tamer Prison was the most heavily guarded place on the Holy Spirit Continent. Itâs indeed a good idea to imprison these people in the Beast Tamer Prison.
âIn order to prevent Su Xuanye from breaking into the prison to save people, I suggest letting the vice presidents take turns to guard the prison to ensure that nothing goes wrong.â
âOkay.â
The two of them chatted for a while more before they saw Zhong An return with three to four people and a pile of documents.
Fu Yuâan noticed that Caro Zhengyang was in weak spirits and frowned. He stood up and bade farewell. Caro Zhengyang politely invited him to eat, but Fu Yuâan still rejected him firmly.
After Fu Yuâan left, Caro Zhengyang sneered. âThis person is quite a fence-sitter.â
The chief steward stood beside Caro Zhengyang and said, âApart from being famous for his level-headedness, Fu Yuâan has assisted three presidents and has never eaten at any of the presidentsâ houses. He doesnât take sides or make enemies.â
Caro Zhengyang sneered. âHeâs just a dog of the Alliance!â
With that, Caro Zhengyang suddenly felt nauseous. He punched the sofa, got up, and ran to the toilet.
After vomiting, Caro Zhengyang walked out of the bathroom with a dark expression and cursed softly, âDamn it, did you send someone to invite Lin Jiansheng?!â Caro Zhengyang had always looked down on Purifying Spirit Masters and felt that Purifying Spirit Masters were trash who had failed to awaken their beast form.
Unexpectedly, one day, he would actually look forward to a Purifying Spirit Master saving him!
The steward didnât even dare to breathe loudly. He only replied softly, âHe went early in the morning.â
It had been half a day. Why wasnât Lin Jiansheng here yet?
Caro Xiangfu was so useless!
â¦
Caro Xiangfu stood in front of Jingduâs Purifying Spirit Academy. After waiting for a moment, he finally saw someone come.
However, the person was wearing an ordinary Purifying Spirit Master robe, not Lin Jianshengâs purple robe.
Seeing this, Caro Xiangfuâs expression darkened.
What was Lin Jiansheng doing? Why wasnât he willing to come and see her personally?
The person who came was a registered disciple of Lin Jiansheng. He was also a Level 7 Purifying Spirit Master called Huo Sanyang.
Caro Xiangfu recognized this person. The corners of his mouth twitched before he said, âGood afternoon. May I ask why your master, Saint Ling Xiao, didnât come to see me?â
Huo Sanyang looked troubled. He said, âItâs not that my master refused to come to see you, but you really came at the wrong time. In the battle of the Eight Towers Mountain, due to the sacrifice of the souls of the Yin Clan, his cultivation level increased greatly, causing his psychic power to be unstable. In order to stabilize his cultivation level and strive to defeat Su Xuanye in the battle two months later, my master ran to Broken Cliff to enter seclusion early yesterday morning.â
âIf he had known that Prime Emperor Zhengyang was possessed, he wouldnât have gone.â
âIf only you had come a day earlier.â
Caro Xiangfu looked at him suspiciously.
What a coincidence.
