Chapter 402: Zhang Xiu and Demon God Green Lake (2)

Translator: CKtalon

Zhang Xiu said excitedly, “As long as I hold a high position wielding great power and have the masses prostrate before me, so what if I become a demon? That only rejoices me.”

“There’s nothing wrong with people wielding power, but they can’t be blinded by it.” Xu Jingming stared at him.

“Blinded? No, I’m fine! It feels good to be a demon,” Zhang Xiu said.

Xu Jingming shook his head. “But the first person you went to after becoming a demon was your third brother!”

“Yes, so what if he has achievements in martial arts? He still trembled in front of me. I ate him in one bite.” Zhang Xiu’s eyes were filled with madness.

“You’re envious and jealous of him—don’t deny it,” Xu Jingming said. “I saw your memories. When your parents stopped caring about you and focused on grooming your third brother, you were down and envious of him.”

Zhang Xiu was stunned.

“Although you suffered when you joined the gang, your father still secretly took care of you,” Xu Jingming continued. “You later came to realize this too! After your father died, you truly fell into the gang’s abyss.”

Zhang Xiu fell silent.

“Therefore, the first thing you did after you made a name for yourself was to visit your father’s grave, drunk. In fact, you really want your father to be alive and see your success,” Xu Jingming said. “You wanted to prove yourself to your father.”

Zhang Xiu nodded gently. “I admit it. I want him to see me make a name for myself and see that I’m much better than Third Brother! I like the feeling of making a name for myself! I like the feeling of being high and mighty!”

“Don’t be blinded by the allures of the world. Think carefully—what do you really want?” Xu Jingming asked.

“If I were to exchange a carefree life in which you have your father’s approval and your mother’s love for your high and mighty life as a demon, which would you choose?” Xu Jingming asked. “Ask yourself. Are you willing to make the exchange?”

Zhang Xiu was stunned.

His father’s approval, his mother’s love, and a carefree life? What a distant memory.

Those were the best days; his father shielded him from the storms and cared for him with his mother.

“You should understand what you truly desire,” Xu Jingming said.

Zhang Xiu’s obsession trembled. He understood that what he yearned for the most wasn’t power but his father’s approval and mother’s love—a happy and carefree life. Once he denied his obsession, it began to collapse.

Zhang Xiu murmured in a low voice, “Since when did I only want to make a name for myself? To trample on others?”

“I—I even ate my third brother. Yes, I was controlled by my obsession and became a demon.” Zhang Xiu suddenly jolted awake. He felt as if he had woken up from a dream.

“Stay true to yourself.” Xu Jingming looked at him. “Don’t be controlled by your desires and become its puppet.”

“Thank you,” Zhang Xiu said softly, “but I can’t go back to the past.”

His obsession dissipated.

…

Xu Jingming opened his eyes on the bed with mixed emotions.

Desire is the motivation for people to work hard and the driving force for all of humanity. But if one isn’t in control of their desires, only to be controlled by it… Things can only go south,?Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Those who controlled their desires were humans.

Those controlled by desire were demons.

Xu Jingming gained a clearer understanding of desires and had it deeply imprinted in his consciousness, naturally strengthening his mind and consciousness.

Creak.

Xu Jingming got up and opened the door. It was beginning to brighten, and there was a hint of red in the eastern sky.

******

On a towering mountain more than 800 kilometers east of the prefecture capital.

“Master, Master.” An old woman flew into a pavilion as a cloud of mist.

In the pavilion, a woman in red was leisurely painting.

“Master.” The old woman bowed respectfully after landing.

“Why are you panicking?” The red-shirted woman glanced at the old woman.

“City Envoy Zhang Xiu is dead,” the old woman stated. As she spoke, she respectfully handed a piece of paper to the red-shirted woman.

“Huh?” The red-shirted woman’s expression changed slightly.

She took the rolled-up piece of paper and slowly unfolded it. After reading it, she frowned slightly. “Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming? Where did this newcomer come from to be so ruthless?”

“Master, what should we do?” the old woman asked.

“Zhang Xiu had been quite diligent.” The red-shirted woman shook her head. “But Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming seems to have an extraordinary relationship with the Qi family’s patriarch, Qi Chen. Zhang Xiu was killed after Qi Chen arrived.”

“Yeah.” The old woman nodded. “They address each other as brothers. They must have an extraordinary relationship.”

“The prefecture capital belongs to the Demon Vanquishers,” the red-shirted woman said leisurely. “It’s not worth the risk for a dead Zhang Xiu.”

“Are we just going to let it go?” the old woman asked.

“Doesn’t Zhang Xiu have many friends? Send the news to the other Demon Gods and all the envoys,” the red-shirted woman replied.

The old woman asked, “Should we report it to the Mountain Lord?”

“Mountain Lord can’t be bothered to manage trivial matters to begin with. He left plenty of matters to me,” the red-shirted woman said. “Why would he care about the life and death of a city envoy?”

The old woman nodded slightly. “I understand.”

Her master was the Blood-Robed Demon God of the five Demon Gods, and she was also the true administrator of Dongming Mountain!

…

The news quickly spread to many Earth Demons, but Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming was able to crush Zhang Xiu. He also had an extraordinary relationship with the Qi family’s patriarch and was still living in the prefecture capital. These Earth Demons weren’t willing to take the risk.

After fighting for so many years, demons only occupied half the world!

In the prefecture capital where Demon Vanquishers gathered, Earth Demons had to be careful.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In Cheng’an Prefecture, the lake water rippled.

Green Lake was more than 50 kilometers wide, and hundreds of thousands of citizens lived in it. In this area, the most famous person wasn’t the officials or the Demon Vanquishers but the owner of Green Lake, Demon God Green Lake!

Brother Zhang Xiu is dead??Demon God Green Lake’s eyes were cold as he looked at the letter in his hand angrily. He had a birthmark on his face.

“Lord Demon God?” The subordinate who delivered the letter was a little puzzled.

“You are dismissed.” Demon God Green Lake waved his hand. He then sat alone in the hall and stared at the letter.

Brother Zhang Xiu is my best friend. To kill him is akin to crossing me.?Demon God Green Lake’s eyes were filled with killing intent.?This Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming deserves death!

Demon God Green Lake burned with killing intent but remained calm.?These Demon Vanquishers are very cunning. Perhaps they will set up a trap for me to fall into.

Over the years, the battle with Demon Vanquishers made Demon God Green Lake much more cautious.

Moreover, his relationship with the Qi family’s patriarch isn’t ordinary. It’s entirely possible for him to mobilize experts to set up an ambush,?Demon God Green Lake thought to himself.?However… I won’t be happy if I don’t kill Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming!

Demon God Green Lake was filled with killing intent.

If they ambush me, they will be very patient in the beginning, but as time passes, those experts won’t be able to keep up their guard.?Demon God Green Lake thought inwardly,?Yes, I’ll wait for another three months before taking action.

I don’t believe that the Demon Vanquishers will still be lying in ambush three months later!

The more Demon God Green Lake thought about it, the more pleased he was with his acumen.?I can’t enter Wu Ming’s residence either; I have to wait for him to come out! I’ll then choose the location and time to attack.

Once I make a move, I’ll eliminate Demon Vanquisher Wu Ming in 30 seconds. Then, I’ll use the water element spell to leave the prefecture capital quietly.?Demon God Green Lake was very satisfied.?My plan is excellent; there shouldn’t be any flaws.

It’s decided!?

Demon God Green Lake made a decision.

…

Days passed.

City Envoy Zhang Xiu said that he has many friends, and Demon God Green Lake is his best friend. Unfortunately, these Earth Demons don’t seem willing to avenge him.?Qi Chen—who had been waiting for an opportunity—was sitting on a recliner and reading in boredom.?It looks like I’ve waited in vain.

Qi Chen felt exasperated, but he couldn’t force the Earth Demons to attack if they didn’t choose to.

…

In Xu Jingming’s residence.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Rays of sunlight gathered from all directions, causing the roof tiles to glow with golden light. The power of the sun seeped into the house and landed on Xu Jingming, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

He constantly absorbed the endless stream of solar power, causing the Demon Vanquishing Dharmic powers in his body to transform constantly.

Wu Qi stood guard outside the house silently, not letting anyone approach and disturb his young master.

More than an hour later.

Creak.

Xu Jingming pushed open the door and walked out.

“Young Master,” Wu Qi said happily, “your Demon Vanquishing technique seems to have improved?”

“Yeah, it improved a little.” Xu Jingming nodded.

He had finally reached the fourth realm.
