Chapter 622: Chapter 621: Threatening You, So What! Preparing to Clean Out the Xuanyuan Family!
If Chu Sheng resisted to the death, it would undoubtedly cause some trouble and disrupt the upcoming ritual for his ascension to godhood.
It would be for the best if Chu Sheng cooperated obediently.
That was precisely why he had wasted so much breath.
So, when he heard Chu Sheng give in, a wave of relief washed over him.
Just then!!!
The expression on Xuanyuan Changfeng’s face suddenly shifted.
He suddenly sensed an infinitesimally small presence above his head.
This presence was as faint as a single strand of hair floating down beside him.
Without careful perception, it would be utterly undetectable.
Ordinarily, this minuscule presence—something he could swat out of existence with a single swipe—wouldn’t have warranted a second thought.
However, the target of this presence wasn’t him, but his head.
Or more precisely, the little red flower on his head!
Xuanyuan Changfeng reacted in an instant.
With no time to even think, he instinctively unleashed his Domain Power to its fullest extent, swatting at that tiny presence with all his speed.
He put every ounce of his strength into this strike.
The minuscule presence didn’t have a chance to resist before it was instantly obliterated into dust.
Only after destroying the presence did Xuanyuan Changfeng get a clear look.
It was a completely and utterly ordinary, unremarkable... White-striped Aedes Mosquito!
Instantly, Xuanyuan Changfeng realized he had been tricked!
Chu Sheng never intended to cooperate obediently at all!
From making the big black dog feign an attack at the start...
...to the furious assault that followed...
...and finally, the compromise after a long hesitation.
Chu Sheng did all this with only one goal.
To distract him, to create an opportunity for a clone to seize the moment and pluck the little red flower from his head!
Xuanyuan Changfeng could no longer maintain his previous composure.
"How did you know about the special nature of this red flower?"
Chu Sheng flew out from the rubble, waving a foreleg disdainfully. "You old codger, don’t think you’re the only one who knows about the Forbidden God Law or how to hide from the perception of the Heavenly Dao."
"This Lord Mosquito knows far more than you could ever imagine!"
"You..." Xuanyuan Changfeng was choked speechless by Chu Sheng.
He never would have imagined that a mosquito, born just over a year ago, could actually know these ancient secrets that even Emperor Realm experts might not be aware of!
"Fine! Just fine!"
Xuanyuan Changfeng took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure.
"This Emperor was right about you. You truly have some skills."
"A heaven-defying Bloodline, extraordinary intelligence, and so many strange trump cards."
"You are the perfect candidate to take this Emperor’s place under the Forbidden God Law."
"Since you’re unwilling to cooperate obediently, then this Emperor can only use force."
As Xuanyuan Changfeng spoke, he slowly raised his right hand, and a terrifying power began to gather in his palm.
Just then, Chu Sheng suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
Xuanyuan Changfeng frowned and said coldly, "If you have any last words, spit them out."
Chu Sheng sighed. "Since that move was useless, this Lord Mosquito can only accept his fate."
"But, as the saying goes, it’s a terrible thing for a mosquito to die hungry."
"Since I’m going to die anyway, you can’t let this Lord Mosquito die a starving mosquito, can you?"
"Besides, if you want this Lord Mosquito to bear the Forbidden God Law for you, you have to let this Lord Mosquito eat and drink his fill first."
"If this Lord Mosquito is starving and weak, I’ll kick the bucket before I can put up a fight. That’s sure to make the Forbidden God Law suspicious."
"And when that happens, the Forbidden God Law might just come after you again."
Xuanyuan Changfeng’s hand slowly lowered.
What Chu Sheng said did make sense.
He pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want to eat? This Emperor will immediately have his servants prepare it."
"As long as you cooperate obediently, this Emperor will satisfy your request for any delicacy."
"Forget the delicacies, this Lord Mosquito doesn’t like that stuff," Chu Sheng said.
"This Lord Mosquito only likes to eat things like Spiritual Plants, Spirit Grass, Elixirs, and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. The higher the quality, the better."
"Once this Lord Mosquito has eaten his fill and is in peak condition, he can naturally face his doom with a full stomach."
Xuanyuan Changfeng waved his hand dismissively. "This Emperor will have someone bring you some of the Spiritual Plants and Elixirs from the treasury."
"Wait a minute," Chu Sheng quickly stopped him.
"Bringing it here is so much trouble, and you can’t bring very much at one time."
"This Lord Mosquito’s appetite is huge, it won’t be enough."
"Why don’t you just have someone take this Lord Mosquito to your Spirit Plant Garden, alchemy labs, and treasury?"
"This Lord Mosquito can eat right there on the spot. I can eat as much as I want. Much more convenient."
Xuanyuan Changfeng snorted. "The restricted areas of the Xuanyuan Family are not places you can just waltz into."
"Did you think this Emperor doesn’t know what you’ve done?"
"You ate the Provincial Government’s treasury dry, you ate the Qin Family’s treasury dry, you ate the Sakura Country’s national treasury dry..."
"If I let you into the Xuanyuan Family’s treasury, I’m afraid there wouldn’t be a speck of dust left when you’re finished."
"I don’t care." Chu Sheng simply flipped onto his back, all six legs in the air, and started playing dumb.
"If you don’t let this Lord Mosquito go to the treasury and Spirit Plant Garden to eat his fill, this Lord Mosquito will die in front of you right now."
"Your Desolate Ancient Giant-Armored Kun has already been sucked dry by this Lord Mosquito."
"If this Lord Mosquito dies, where will you find another suitable sacrifice?"
"Without a sacrifice, this Lord Mosquito would like to see how you’ll ascend to godhood."
Xuanyuan Changfeng looked coldly at Chu Sheng. "Within this Emperor’s Domain, you think you can die just because you want to?"
"You can try," Chu Sheng said, casually lifting a foreleg.
"This Lord Mosquito has many methods. I have plenty of ways to self-destruct before you can make a move."
"If you don’t believe me, you’re welcome to try."
Xuanyuan Changfeng hesitated.
He had to admit, Chu Sheng was telling the truth.
This mosquito’s methods were endless and bizarre.
Killing it would be easy.
But completely controlling it would be quite troublesome.
If it was dead set on killing itself, he really might not be able to stop it.
Once Chu Sheng died, his path to godhood would be delayed indefinitely.
’In any case, Chu Sheng is always within my Domain.’
’Even if Chu Sheng has countless schemes and tricks, there’s no way he can cause any real trouble for a master at the Peak of the Emperor Realm!’
’The power gap is just too immense.’
’It’s not something that can be overcome with schemes and tricks.’
’Besides, the time for my ascension isn’t here yet. I still need a few more days to prepare.’
’So what if I let Chu Sheng eat his fill?’
’Compared to the monumental task of ascending to godhood, what are the Xuanyuan Family’s assets worth?’
’As long as I can achieve godhood, I’ll be able to get as many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures as I want in the future.’
After weighing the pros and cons, Xuanyuan Changfeng called out towards a rockery in the distance, "Xuanyuan Qing, come out."
"Take Lord Divine Mosquito to eat."
"Whatever it wants to eat, however much it eats, satisfy its requests."
"Yes, Ancestor."
A respectful voice came from behind the rockery.
Immediately after, a young man in a green robe walked out from behind the rockery with his head lowered.
It was none other than Xuanyuan Qing, who had been beaten by Chu Sheng in the Capital City and later escaped by faking his death.
"Well, if it isn’t Xuanyuan Qing?" Chu Sheng teased. "I thought your brother Xuanyuan Hong hit you so hard he’d killed you long ago."
Xuanyuan Qing’s face instantly turned ashen.
But he didn’t dare to act out. He could only lower his head and grit his teeth, saying, "Lord Divine Mosquito jests. Please, follow me."
Chu Sheng wasn’t polite either, and directly landed on Xuanyuan Qing’s head.
His proposal to die with a "full stomach" wasn’t about peacefully meeting his end at all.
’Immortal Venerable,’ he had asked Immortal Venerable Shi Xi immediately after the flower-plucking plan failed, ’didn’t you say the Twelve Ancestral Witch Stone Statues have Divine Level power?’
’Is there any way to unleash their full power right now?’
’I don’t even need all of it, just one-tenth would be enough.’
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi had replied, ’As long as your own strength rises to the mid-stage Sovereign Realm, you can unleash the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witch Stone Statues at the Emperor Realm Early Stage.’
’Then I’ll teach you a combined attack technique for the Twelve Ancestral Witches. It will be enough to slay Xuanyuan Changfeng.’
That was why Chu Sheng had come up with this idea on the spot, demanding to go to the Xuanyuan Family’s Spirit Plant Garden and treasury.
His current Qi Blood was at 170 million, leaving him 130 million short of the mid-stage Sovereign Realm.
’As the most ancient family in the history of Great Xia, surely the Xuanyuan Family has at least that much in stock, right?’
’This time, I’m going to eat the Xuanyuan Family’s treasury completely bare!’
