Hell Emperor.

Chapter 383 Xia Wei - Heavenly Being
"The Flower-Fruit Mountain is in front of us. After crossing this mountain, we will reach the East China Sea."

Li Fei'e held a map in his hand, looked left and right, and happily pointed the way ahead. The map was drawn by a ghost from the Golden Wheel Palace, and it had a detailed record of the mountains, rivers, towns and villages on earth.

Behind her, Xia Wei followed closely. Her seemingly leisurely walk actually contained some mysterious steps. She let Li Fei'e walk forward quickly, and she followed without hurrying, as if taking a walk, but the distance between them never widened.

As they approached the mountain, Xia Wei was startled by the misty clouds and emerald green outside the mountain. She said with some vigilance, "Be careful. The spiritual energy in this mountain is rich. If there are monsters living here, they must be much stronger than other places... I heard that this mountain is the hometown of the Monkey King in the past. The monsters there must be extraordinary."

Hearing Xia Wei mention the earth-shattering King of Monsters, Li Fei'e also sighed:
"I checked the sect's books and calculated that the Monkey King had been suppressed for five hundred years. I thought that after he escaped, he would gather all the demons and fight against the Heavenly Court again, causing unrest in the three realms. However, when we inquired along the way here, we didn't get any news about him. It seems that he didn't return to this Flower-Fruit Mountain."

Xia Wei looked worried and said, "If the prophecy is true, he will bring about a catastrophe that will destroy the world and cause great suffering to all living beings in the three realms. We must stop him! I was planning to meet him, but now it seems that there is no chance."

Li Fei'e didn't think so, and quickly advised Xia Wei: "The Monkey King has reached the ninth level, and you are not even an immortal, how can you fight him? It's better not to cause trouble, and keep a low profile."

Xia Wei showed no fear: "What are you afraid of? There is an equal array here to suppress us. Even if it is a ninth-level immortal, he can only exert the strength of the third level at most. It's not like we haven't fought third-level enemies before. What is there to be afraid of?"

Li Fei'e said in embarrassment: "That's what I said, but the Equality Array is not absolute. There are still many ways in the world that can break through the blockade of the Equality Array, such as the ultimate Xuansha... Those truly powerful immortals cannot be suppressed by the Equality Array. Under absolute power, the Equality Array can only be broken."

At the end, Li Fei'e couldn't help but shrink his neck: "Although Brother Jie helped me modify the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to the Wanhua level, but against an enemy of this level, relying on a Wanhua-level technique alone is not enough, it must be much stronger than Wanhua."

While the two were talking, Xia Wei suddenly moved her ears and listened carefully. She heard people shouting in the distance.

"Zheng Shi...where are you?"

"Come out quickly and go back with us. It's very dangerous in the mountains..."

The sound gradually became clearer. Xia Wei frowned and asked in confusion: "What are they shouting?"

"Looks like he's looking for someone... let's go over and take a look?" Li Fei'e raised his eyebrows. The two of them hit it off and made a decision immediately.

Behind the two of them, Meng Junyao blinked with clear eyes. She was also very curious about the sound coming from afar and was ready to go with them.

Seeing Meng Junyao was also about to leave, Li Fei'e hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister Junyao, just wait here."

Meng Junyao looked aggrieved, her white dragon body curled up slightly, and her long and thin dragon whiskers trembled faintly: "Why?"

Li Fei'e had no choice but to explain: "The people there are all mortals. When they see you, they might think you are a monster from the mountain that has come out to eat people. It will definitely cause trouble. It will be bad if you scare them."

Meng Junyao muttered, "But... I don't eat people, why do they think so?"

Li Fei'e was sweating profusely. He was afraid of hurting Jun Yao's sister's feelings, but he didn't know how to explain it. He could only say, "Because they don't know you, they can only see you from your appearance and think you are a man-eating monster. Monsters have always had a bad reputation, and they are looking for someone nearby. For sensible reasons, it is better for you to stay here."

Meng Junyao shook her head vigorously, with a bit of loss and sadness in her eyes: "But I am a monster, not a human. Obviously everyone is a human, only I am a monster... Why is it like this..."

Li Fei'e was speechless and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. It seemed that no matter what she said, Meng Junyao would not listen and just remained sulky and sad.

According to her age, Meng Junyao's intelligence is only equivalent to that of a little human girl. It is really difficult for her to understand those profound truths and the fierce conflict between humans and demons.

Li Fei'e really had no idea what to do with her. He couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. Now he understood how his master felt. But then he heard Xia Wei say, "Sister Jun Yao, come with us."

Hearing what Xia Wei said, Meng Junyao burst into laughter and hurriedly followed excitedly.

Li Fei'e was embarrassed and couldn't help but hold Xia Wei back: "Do you really want to let her go? What if people are scared by her?"

Xia Wei said seriously: "Sister Jun Yao is our family, how can we abandon her? Besides, she is not a man-eating beast. If people are scared by her, it only shows that those people are blind."

“That’s what you say, but…” Li Fei’e wanted to persuade them again, but seeing that the two had already walked far away, he had to follow them.

Soon, several screams were heard from the front.

"Monster, the monster is coming!"

"Everyone, run!"

People were frightened by this and fled in all directions, scattering like birds and beasts. All that could be heard was shrill shouting one after another.

Li Fei'e couldn't help but hold her forehead. She knew things would turn out like this. If she had known earlier, she would have stopped Meng Junyao no matter what.

I hurried to catch up, but I saw Meng Junyao was even more sad. She said in a tearful voice, "Why did they run away when they saw me? Am I so annoying?"

Li Fei'e said helplessly: "I've already said it, people are afraid of monsters, how can they talk to you nicely? They are not practitioners, it would be wrong if they didn't run away, right?"

"But...but..."

Meng Junyao lowered her head, as if she wanted to say something. At this moment, Xia Wei discovered something: "Look, there's someone there who didn't run away."

Following Xia Wei's direction, a white-haired old man appeared in front of everyone.

The old man had a hunched body and difficulty walking, so he had difficulty walking and couldn't even run. He could only watch the people fleeing and curse in his heart, thinking that these people were so merciless and just left him to feed the monsters.

Seeing this, Xia Wei stepped forward and asked, "Old man, there are monsters lurking in this mountain, what are you doing here?"

Looking at Xia Wei, whose eyes were as fiery as fire and whose spirit was overwhelming, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. This seemed to be a misunderstanding, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Meng Junyao was still filled with fear. He explained:
"My grandson Zheng Shi is missing. He may have lost his way in the mountains, so I mobilized the villagers to look for him with me. Unexpectedly, we didn't find him, but ran into this... this..." The old man was unable to catch his breath, his eyes wide open, always fixed on Meng Junyao. If it weren't for his inconvenient legs and feet, he would have run away long ago. How could he dare to stay in front of a dragon monster that was over ten feet long?

After finding out the situation, Xia Wei understood and said enthusiastically, "I'll help you take a look."

After saying that, Xia Wei rode on Meng Junyao's back, and the clean white dragon soared into the sky. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at a height of a hundred feet where the spiritual energy was thin.

Xia Wei looked down from a high place, and suddenly a purple light flashed in the depths of her clear pupils. Contained in that light was the power of the purple air coming from the east!
Her eyes were shining with divine light. If the people on the ground raised their heads, they would be able to see two shining stars suddenly appearing in the bright sky. The starlight was a noble and mysterious purple color, which made people intoxicated.

The Purple Demonic Pupil started to work, and everything on the ground appeared clearly in Xia Wei's eyes. In the past few days, Xia Wei followed the Tang King's teachings, getting up early every day, and absorbing the fleeting purple air from the east when the sun rose in the east. The Purple Demonic Pupil progressed rapidly and broke through to the Heavenly Man stage in a blink of an eye.

The Heavenly Man Stage is only two levels lower than the All Changes Stage.

The other partners all modified the files with the help of Ye Jie, and only then were they able to acquire the Wanhua-level martial arts. However, for Xia Wei, who was extremely talented, cultivating the martial arts to the heavenly stage was a very common thing. Ordinary people needed decades or even hundreds of years to gain a deep understanding, but she only needed a very short time.

With Ye Jie's help, all of his companions acquired a Wanhua-level martial arts skill. Even Meng Junyao learned the Divine Dragon Transformation. Only Xia Wei refused to accept her master's kindness. She was unwilling to let her master waste his merits for her and learned all the skills on her own.

A purple light flashed, and with the power of the magic pupil, Xia Wei could see everything below. Even the small lines on a fallen leaf and an unnatural crease on a branch could not escape Xia Wei's eyes.

Hard work pays off. Soon, Xia Wei got the answer. She landed on the ground and said, "I found it! There is a child's footprint on the muddy ground five miles away. The person you are looking for is there."

How could the old man have seen such a trick? He thanked her repeatedly. At this time, the villagers who had fled before also turned back to inquire about the news. After confirming that they were all safe, they rushed to the place Xia Wei mentioned.

On the muddy ground, the tiny footprints of a child were so conspicuous. A couple was sobbing quietly, everyone looked solemn, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Why are you crying? Maybe he just got lost and is still alive. We need to find him as soon as possible!" The old man scolded the couple, "He told me that he still has 80 years to live. He can live a long, long time. How could such an accident happen to him?"

With an uneasy mood, everyone searched around the mud, and soon Li Fei'e discovered something unusual.

"What's that smell? It's so stinky?"

When passing by a forest, Li Fei'e pinched his nose and said with disgust that when he smelled the stench, he wanted to stay away from it and didn't want to get close at all.

"That is……"

Xia Wei seemed to realize something and had a bad premonition in her mind. She hurried towards the source of the stench and soon found the cold remains of a child in the overgrown bushes.

Seeing the remains, the couple was completely heartbroken and fainted on the spot. Everyone else also looked reluctant.

"My grandson... How could he die here?" The old man fell to his knees, looking up to the sky and crying out in pain, "Which monster did this? It brought my grandson here. Even if it costs me my life, I will seek revenge on that monster!"

Looking at the remains, Xia Wei frowned, "He doesn't look like he was killed by a monster. Monsters kill people mostly to fill their stomachs, but I see his body is intact, with no obvious wounds, which doesn't fit the habits of monsters."

Xia Wei's words made everyone stunned.

"If it wasn't killed by a monster, then who could have killed it?"

"Could it be that someone is taking revenge? Did your family offend someone?"

Everyone was discussing this, but Xia Wei's next words shocked everyone: "There are some traces of spiritual power left on his body. Someone used a technique on him. Judging from the type of technique, it was clearly a soul-binding rope... A ghost must have killed him."

"ghost?"

Everyone was shocked and there was a hint of doubt in their eyes, not understanding the truth of these words.

Unlike everyone else, the old man was the first to listen to what Xia Wei said, and believed it without a doubt: "Master, do you know where the ghost came from that killed my grandson? Please find the ghost and give my grandson justice!"

Xia Wei nodded and said loudly: "Don't worry, I will seek justice for you! Although I don't know which evil spirit did it, I will find him out. I will make his soul fly to pieces and pay for your grandson's life!"

Xia Wei's powerful words moved everyone deeply. Led by the old man, everyone kowtowed to her and praised her justice and selflessness.

After searching the surroundings again, they found the remains of several children. Their causes of death were the same. For a moment, people were in a panic, speculating that there was some evil spirit lurking around, and they warned their children not to go out alone.

At the same time, Xiao Yun, the instigator of all this, had no idea that he had been targeted and was racking his brains to find a new target.

He originally wanted to look for targets in other villages, but the defenses of those villages were much higher than here. At the door there were either wooden swords to ward off evil spirits or shrines to immortals. Once, his whereabouts were exposed and he was injured by a practitioner's magic weapon and almost lost his soul. Another time, he wanted to capture a child, but the amulet hanging around the child's neck burned him half to death.

Although there were many bumps along the way, Xiao Yun never gave up. In order to extend his mother's life, no amount of hardship could defeat him. After many failures, there would always be a day of success. Thanks to his efforts, the longevity flag that had been refined was bright in color, and it had accumulated a thousand years of life!

After completing the sacrifice of the longevity flag, Xiao Yun only felt that his connection with the longevity flag became closer. He could sense all the people who were about to die within a radius of ten miles, and he also had a hunch that if he continued to sacrifice the longevity flag, he would get even greater benefits.

"A thousand years... How many people in this world can live for a thousand years? Only the immortals in legends can live that long. But now my mother can also live that long..."

With good wishes in his heart, Xiao Yun returned home and was about to congratulate his mother, but the situation before him surprised him.

However, he found that the door of the house was not locked and the inside was in a mess. All the abnormal conditions told Xiao Yun a bad news. While he was away from home to save his life, his mother was also in danger.
