Reborn as a Demon Emperor, I Need to Stay Away From Them – Chapter 52

Ch 52: The Repercussions of Luck

“Understood!”

Xiao Jiba, suppressing the anger in his chest, leaped forward with a ferocious grin! In front of everyone, he slapped Ma Ge Bi twice, leaving him stunned and hurt!

Ma Ge Bi, however, could only widen his eyes and glare at Xiao Jiba with murderous intent. He… absolutely dared not retaliate.

Having heard that Yu Mu was tyrannical even in the Yunhe Sect, killing dozens of disciples without facing any severe punishment, how could anyone withstand such a villain if he were to kill here?

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yu Mu indifferently said, “Xiao Jiba, come with me. The rest of you, do as you please.”

Having spoken, he resumed his leisurely stroll towards King Bei Ying’s coffin. Xiao Jiba respectfully followed, and Xiao Jiji and the others hurriedly followed in Xiao Jiba’s footsteps.

Otherwise, without the Young Lord holding down the fort, what if they were retaliated against?

Thus, the group followed Yu Mu to where King Bei Ying’s coffin lay. At this time… the heat of the black and purple flames had subsided. There was no smoke here, only an indescribable and inexplicably vast aura.

A small flame still flickered, as if silently recounting the life of the fallen expert, the life of a rogue cultivator king.

“Xiao Jiba, kneel down, kowtow, and call out ‘Master’.”

Yu Mu’s brow seemed to carry some emotion. Perhaps no one in this world understood the feeling of passing away better than he did.

Xiao Jiba was very obedient. For some reason, he felt the soul of a warrior within him tremble! He felt… a similar soul was passing away.

“Disciple Xiao Jiba pays respects to Master!”

He knelt solemnly and kowtowed three times.

Suddenly, that last wisp of flame that was still burning… extinguished.

“Farewell, Your Highness,”

Yu Mu said in his heart, then turned and said, “There aren’t many opportunities in King Bei Ying’s tomb. He was a strong man who didn’t covet treasures throughout his life. There’s no need for you to search anymore.”

“You can cultivate here. You can return to the sect when the barrier opens in a few days.”

“As Young Lord commands!”

The others shouted in unison, but only Xiao Jiba looked at the coffin that had turned to ashes. There was no soul left here.

Perhaps in a few years, this space would collapse, and the barrier to the outside world would eventually disappear. Perhaps only in the historical records of the continent could a few words about King Bei Ying be found.

As proof that he once shone brightly in this world.

Only, there was reluctance in his heart.

He had, after all, inherited the legacy of this rogue cultivator king. All of this… was given by the Young Lord.

He glanced again at Yu Mu, who was sitting cross-legged and breathing, and respectfully saluted Yu Mu, along with his brother Xiao Jiji.

Perhaps from now on, there would truly be two more true fans of Yu Mu in the Yunhe Sect, while most of the rest were brainless fans…

As for the disciples of the other two sects, as well as Ye Tian and Xiao Yu, they nearly turned the entire space upside down, but only found some pills.

Yu Mu didn’t care much. He had already achieved his goal for this trip. It wasn’t for anything else, but simply because he didn’t want such a strong person who cared about his race to have his corpse desecrated by Ye Tian after death, his remnant spirit refined, and his chance at reincarnation lost.

And to give Ye Tian a little discomfort along the way.

As for this space… when a person dies, their light goes out. King Bei Ying had already entered reincarnation and left behind a legacy. No one would care about what happened here.

However… this matter made the Spirit of the Heavenly Dao above the heavens smile madly!

Having shed its lofty shell, descended in life level, and possessed human emotions through Yu Mu, the Spirit of the Heavenly Dao was no different from ordinary living beings.

It had joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Especially the excitement at this moment! This was the first time Yu Mu had most directly weakened Ye Tian!

King Bei Ying’s remnant spirit and essence could have greatly helped Ye Tian, but in this life, Ye Tian didn’t even get a whiff of it. A series of chain reactions caused the Heavenly Dao luck on his body to weaken imperceptibly by a thin layer.

Moreover, through the karma of the Returning Void expert, Yu Mu was completely drawn into this vortex, and it also gained considerable benefits from it. Having power… it could begin to lay out its plans.

There had to be a game that would allow Yu Mu, bearing the Heavenly Dao luck, to kill Ye Tian ten times over!

“Demon Emperor… you must not disappoint this spirit!”

The Spirit of the Heavenly Dao clenched its fist. It would be restricted and suffer backlash from the will of the Great Dao for making these moves. In fact, from the moment it reversed time, it had been suffering backlash at all times.

However… it thought it was worth it! Human emotions… were indeed useless. There were too many dregs and entanglements that would become weaknesses, but they could also allow it to see more clearly.

This time… it couldn’t lose, and the Demon Emperor couldn’t lose either!

……………

Several days later, the group emerged from King Bei Ying’s tomb.

Of the original thirty prodigy disciples from the three sects, only nineteen remained, a loss of thirty percent! A large portion of them were killed by Ye Tian.

However… in the secret realm, casualties were inevitable. The Supreme Elders of the Muyu Sect and Earth Fire Valley didn’t say anything, but left with their people with gloomy expressions.

Zi Li first saw that Ye Tian and Xiao Yu were unharmed, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she turned her gaze to Yu Mu: “Mu Er, are you injured?”

Unexpectedly, Yu Mu walked directly past her, not even casting a glance at that exquisite face. Instead, he leaped lightly onto the back of the giant beast that had been waiting for a long time, and closed his eyes.

He didn’t care at all about Zi Li’s darkening gaze and expression!

He’s about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Yu Mu frowned slightly. He shouldn’t have had such bottlenecks in his cultivation, but… after provoking Ye Tian, these bottlenecks began to reappear.

Moreover… there was something seemingly in the dark, as if stirring his Dao heart.

No wonder, no wonder the Child of Destiny was so terrifying. Wasn’t this blatant cheating?

If it weren’t for the Heavenly Dao Sapling in his sea of consciousness, he might have really been ruined by this thing.

“The Heavenly Dao luck, and the resistance of the Heavenly Dao power?”

Yu Mu murmured in his heart. Ye Tian obtained the Heavenly Dao luck and was almost flawless, while his Heavenly Dao power was incomplete and even needed to rely on himself to exist.

Thinking about it… he was able to kill Ye Tian nine times in his previous life, and was only a little bit away from the last life. It was truly something to be proud of.

However… even if the luck of the Child of Destiny backfired on him, Yu Mu didn’t care much. If he were influenced by such a thing, he wouldn’t be worthy of being the Demon Emperor.

The whistling wind came, and the giant beast had already taken off.

The wide back was equipped with restrictions, making it quite stable.

Before long, Zi Li was heard speaking softly, “Xiao Jiba, I heard you obtained King Bei Ying’s legacy?”

“In response to the Supreme Elder, yes.” Xiao Jiba looked back at Yu Mu. Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, he could only respectfully acknowledge it.

“Oh?”

Zi Li’s exquisite face was full of majesty, and a kind of aloofness that didn’t partake in worldly affairs.

“Perhaps you can let this one take a look.”
