Chapter 240: Tragedy in the Mortal World

Chaotic Star Domain, Demon God Hall.

The Demon Lord Ji Xingzi stood on the Demon Abyss Platform with the Demon Venerables and Demon Sons of the various Demon God Halls.

They waited for the next bloodline owner to be announced.

Yesterday, he had just completely fused with the Xuanming blood essence that his beloved disciple, Mo Fei, had obtained from the Primordial Battlefield.

The next 12th place was the owner of the Xuanming Ancestral Magus Bloodline.

This time, the names of Ji Xingzi and the Demon God Hall would definitely enter the rankings and shine.

To the Demon God Hall, this was a moment of glory that would enter the annals of history.

“It’s all thanks to Mo Fei that I can obtain the blood essence of the Ancestral Magus Xuanming this time!” said the Demon Lord Ji Xingzi in a low voice.

Then, he looked at Mo Fei, one of the Demon Sons, and said, “In the future, the Demon Seeking Hall will be under your control. I will officially confer you the title of Demon Venerable Fei Qiu. Don’t disappoint me!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not disappoint you and bring our Demon God Palace to greater heights!” Mo Fei was overjoyed and immediately knelt and kowtowed in thanks.

The other Demon Sons were also jealous. Unfortunately, they did not have the ability to obtain the blood essence of an Ancestral Magus from the Primordial Battlefield like Mo Fei.

He could even appease this suspicious master of his. Now that he had successfully become a hall master, his future would definitely be limitless.

“The person on the rankings is about to be announced!” A faint smile surfaced in Ji Xingzi’s eyes.

Everyone held their breaths and focused their attention on the Heavenly Bloodline Rankings as they began to think of the congratulatory words.

At this point, everyone from the Demon God Hall swallowed the congratulations they were about to say. All of them had strange expressions and were silent.

They looked at each other and then at the gloomy Demon Lord Ji Xingzi.

Mo Fei’s face was filled with panic as he looked at the rankings in disbelief.

“Why isn’t the Demon Lord’s name here? Impossible!” Mo Fei’s expression was ugly as he panicked.

He knew that Ji Xingzi was suspicious by nature, had a bad temper, and loved face.

He was already skeptical when he offered his blood essence previously. Furthermore, it was strange. After fusing with the blood essence, not only did his strength not improve, but he also felt uncomfortable.

If he was not his most trusted disciple, he would probably not have survived until now.

Now that the owner of this bloodline did not have his name, he would probably not be able to explain himself.

Sensing the pressure of Ji Xingzi locking onto him, Mo Fei’s expression changed drastically as he knelt on the ground. “Lord, please calm down. Listen to me…”

Blast!

A terrifying magic power instantly swept toward Mo Fei. His expression changed drastically, and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The Demon Lord was too powerful. Now, this furious strike had directly destroyed Mo Fei’s body and soul.

Upon seeing this, everyone knelt on the ground in fear, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

Some Demon Sons glanced at Mo Fei’s body that had turned into ashes, and the corners of their mouths twitched as they trembled.

As the saying went, accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. This was especially true for the hot-tempered Ji Xingzi.

It was a pity that Mo Fei’s flattery had hit the nail on the head and cost him his life.

Forsaken Heaven Immortal Realm, Ancient Family—Mo Family.

When they saw their son, Mo Chen, on the rankings, the Mo Family residence was in an uproar, even though they knew this was the truth.

Meanwhile, Mo Chen was in the study. He held a Mystic Bird Jade Pendant in his right hand and examined it carefully with a complicated expression as if he was examining a beauty.

If Li Yu and Murong Xingqiao were here, they would definitely recognize that this jade pendant was almost identical to Murong Xingqiao’s Mystic Bird Jade Pendant.

“Lord Divine Son!” A figure appeared out of thin air in the study. He wore a mask and black clothes as he bowed with cupped hands.

“You brought it back?” Mo Chen asked casually, his gaze still fixed on the jade pendant.

Although Mo Chen’s limelight and strength could not compare to Gongshu Qitian and Qin Feng, he was still an extraordinary person.

Furthermore, he kept a low profile and rarely interacted with the disciples of the various families and factions.

If not for the appearance of the Sons of Heaven Rankings, almost no one would have known his true strength.

“My lord, we’ve brought the items back. According to your instructions, we’ve killed all the mortals and living beings in the Azure Sky Sect and the surrounding 5,000 kilometers. No one survived!” the black-robed man reported.

“Very good. You may leave!” Mo Chen said and continued to examine the Mystic Bird Jade Pendant in his hand.

This was the jade pendant he had obtained by chance. This was the jade pendant that had appeared in his dreams countless times. There was also the person wearing this jade pendant. Her appearance could not be seen clearly, but it always tugged at his heartstrings, as if it was an unforgettable beautiful figure.

Everything was waiting for him to slowly unravel.

Owner #3: Heavenly Venerable Li Huo

Origin: Li Fire Realm

Bloodline Purity: Medium…

When they saw the people from That’s Quite a Large on the rankings again, everyone from the various immortal realms was already expressionless, and their minds were numb.

The Bloodline Rankings had already been dominated by this lower realm faction. It was as if the various factions of the myriad worlds were competing with this lower realm faction.

However, they seemed to be inferior.

If not for the Heavenly Dao Rankings, they might never have imagined that a group of high and mighty Immortals, Saints, and Heavenly Venerables would be robbed of their limelight by a group of mortals from the lower realm.

The number of powerful physiques and bloodlines possessed by a lower realm faction was almost surpassing the entire Forsaken Heaven Immortal Realm.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not believe it even if their father told them.

What was happening in front of them was definitely the most unbelievable and shocking unsolved mystery they had ever seen in their lives.

It was even more incomprehensible than the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Rankings.

However, they could only accept what they could not understand. This was the process of living beings adapting to the world.

Just like how humans could not understand the existence of heaven and earth and the passage of time, they could only accept this setting for the time being.

Bloodline Ranking # 9: Ancestral Magus Goumang’s Bloodline

Owner #1: You Rong

Origin: Flower Realm

Reward: Bloodline Purity increases by 60%, Cultivation increases by 1200 years, Bloodline Limit increases by 200%

Owner 2: Ji Xingzi

Origin: Chaotic Star Domain, Demon God Hall

Bloodline Purity: Medium

“R-Ruler is on the rankings!”

When they saw Ji Xingzi’s name appear on the rankings, everyone from the Demon God Hall had complicated expressions and fell silent.

The corners of Ji Xingzi’s mouth twitched, and his gaze was complicated as if his heart was being stabbed.

It turned out that Mo Fei did not lie to him. He did not give him the fake blood essence that wanted to harm him, but the blood essence had the wrong name.

He really regretted it now. No matter what, Mo Fei was the most loyal among his many disciples and the only one he could trust.

Yet, he had killed him personally.

‘I… I was too impulsive.’

‘My beloved disciple! I’ve let you down!’

Ji Xingzi wailed in his heart and cried with regret, but he still pretended that nothing had happened.

He had to finish the path he had walked no matter what.

“Men, bury Mo Fei properly. He will keep the title of Demon Venerable Fei Qiu and be added to the position of the Demon God Hall!” Ji Xingzi ordered.
