Chapter 1281: Slaughter Every Last One of You
Was Xiang Shaoyun dead? Naturally not. With the Nether Soul Dragon Headband, he could survive even a God Realm expert's attack. A Great Devil Saint wouldn't be able to kill him so easily.
However, he still didn't feel too well. His clone was blasted far away, the damage causing his soul power to drop sharply. Before anyone could realize it, his clone turned into a specter and merged back into his main body.
He was afraid that someone would mount another sneak attack on him at this time. He could hardly survive another attack in his current condition. The moment his soul returned to his body, his face paled. Without any hesitation, he dissolved some soul spring water to replenish his soul power.
He could not afford to be careless on the battlefield. When he dissolved the soul spring water, he also absorbed the ambient devilish energy in the air. He even swallowed a devil core to accelerate his recovery.
After obtaining a devil cultivation, he had formed a devil core. However, he had formed a devil pearl instead of a regular devil core. Despite his irregular core, he was still able to absorb devilish energy.
Xiang Shaoyun had killed a lot of Devil Sovereigns in the Devil Domain, so he had quite a collection of devil cores. Energy exhaustion was the last thing he needed to be worried about. At this time, the God Realm experts were still fighting, but they were no longer on the same battlefield.
The regular devils remained and started searching the area. They would not allow even a single dark devourer devil to survive. Of the three clans, the Imperial Nether Clan had suffered the most casualties. About 100 of them had come, and 40 had perished, including several princes and princesses.
Second to them was the Diabolic Dragon Clan. About 100 of them had come, but despite arriving later than the Imperial Nether Clan, they had still lost over 10 diabolic dragons.
If they had come earlier, they would have suffered even more losses. As for the Undying Devil Clan, they had not lost even a single member. The three clans started combing through the area. The baleful blood poison was cleared while they searched every nook and cranny of the area.
Finally, they confirmed that there were no survivors. They separated into their respective groups as they prepared to leave. There wasn't much interaction between the three clans, as though they were complete strangers.
Before long, the God Realm experts returned. Among them, an undying devil announced, "The Dark Devourer Clan has been exterminated."
Everyone roared at the same time, "The Dark Devourer Clan has been exterminated!"
"Well done. Let's leave," said the undying devil.
At this time, a Devil God from the Diabolic Dragon Clan said, "Mo Wufeng, my clan is interested in getting some undying grass from your clan."
The undying grass was a god-grade plant exclusive to the Undying Mountain. Generally, this plant would not be traded out of the clan unless some incredible treasure was offered. After all, the undying grass was something that could save even a God Realm expert's life due to its unique properties.
With a diabolic dragon asking for undying grass publicly, all the Undying Devil Clan and Imperial Nether Clan members were stunned. Everyone knew that the Undying Devil Clan viewed the undying grass as their ultimate treasure, and it wasn't something they would give out easily.
The undying devil named Mo Wufeng glanced at the diabolic dragon coldly and said, "Xie Lou, do you want to die?"
His words were laced with killing intent, and an overbearing aura erupted from his body, causing the sky to shake.
"Haha, of course I don't want to die. Everyone knows that the Undying Devil Clan values the undying grass more than your own lives. I naturally wouldn't dare to steal from you. I'm proposing a trade," said Xie Lou.
"Does the Diabolic Dragon Clan even have anything worth trading for our undying grass?" said Mo Wufeng with disdain.
"Yes, we don't have anything you're interested in, but we have someone you're definitely interested in. Bring that girl over," said Xie Lou. As he said that, he tore the space beside him, allowing a diabolic dragon to fly out from within. Tied up on the dragon was an exceptionally beautiful woman. She had long black hair, eyes as bright as stars, fair and tender skin, and a flawless figure.
Xiang Shaoyun was busy healing himself when he looked over. His eyes widened as he exclaimed inwardly, Mumu!
This woman was none other than Ye Chaomu. After Xiang Shaoyun reclaimed the Ziling Sect, Ye Chaomu had returned to Wuxie Valley. She had been gone since then. Xiang Shaoyun had originally thought that Wu Xie had kept her behind so that she could focus on cultivation.
He had thought of visiting her, but he was also afraid that he would bring trouble to her. Thus, he had put it on hold until now. But after so many years, she had actually appeared in the Devil Domain's seventh layer. He even wondered if he was seeing things.
To make things worse, Ye Chaomu seemed to be held captive by the Diabolic Dragon Clan. He was infuriated. Only when he saw that she seemed unhurt did he manage to suppress his anger.
Ye Chaomu's appearance shocked many Undying Devil Clan members. They stared at her forehead, staring at the rune on her forehead. This rune was something nobody could replicate. Furthermore, an aura that was similar to theirs could be felt from it. That aura made it impossible for them to focus on it.
Mo Wufeng roared furiously, "Xie Lou, what is the meaning of this? You dared kidnap someone from our clan? Are you trying to start a war?"
This time, the aura he released became even scarier. It was as though a natural calamity was about to happen.
"Calm down, Mo Wufeng. Are you sure she's your clan member?" asked Xie Lou.
"Nobody can replicate our undying rune. Release her, or we'll consider this a declaration of war!" demanded Mo Wufeng furiously.
As he said that, the undying devils behind him stepped forth and unleashed their auras. The Undying Devil Clan had always been extremely united. Due to their low numbers, they had a strong sense of unity.
"But she came from the human territory," said Xie Lou. "Ask the fellows behind you. Does anyone know her at all? Which family is she from?"
The undying devils sank into thought as they started trying to sense Ye Chaomu's bloodline.
After several verifications, Mo Wufeng said, "She is one of us. Release her, and we will pay you 100 million devil saint crystals as a reward."
"Haha, we don't need that. We only want a stalk of undying grass," said Xie Lou.
"Xie Lou, don't be too greedy!" said Mo Wufeng coldly.
"No haggling, or we'll kill her," said Xie Lou.
"If you dare touch even a hair on her, I'll slaughter every last one of you!" a domineering voice rang out.
