“The matters outside have been settled.”

Xiao Chen’s voice was faint. As he spoke, he sat down on the chair at the front of the hall. There were many people in the palace below every day. Only he, Lustless palace, was always cold and lonely.

“Back to Excellency …”

At this moment, Yang Xiaoran became somewhat hesitant. After a long time, he only said three words. Xiao Chen glanced at him and said, “Speak.”

“Yes …”

Yang Xiaoran cupped his hands and said, “The Azure Wave Sect and Blood-clothed Sect have all submitted. Only …” He paused for a moment before continuing, “Only the Sky Scorpion Sect’s Yin Chunqiu refuses to submit.”

“There is naturally a reason why you refuse to submit. Continue.”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. At this moment, his face was as calm as water. For the past ten years, he had always been like this. His words were cold and cold, and he treated everyone like this.

Yang Xiaoran trembled slightly. He knew that no matter what the reason was for the failure to subdue the Scorpion Sect, he could not help but blame it. He said, “This subordinate accidentally discovered last month that Yin Chunqiu’s son, Yin Feng, seemed to have a close relationship with the people of Wu Huang Hai …”

“Wu Huang Hai …”

At this moment, a change finally appeared on Xiao Chen’s calm face. A moment of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.

Yang Xiaoran kept looking up at him and didn’t notice the slightest change in his eyes. He continued, “Qi Liang’s Earth Vein power has been decreasing since last year. This subordinate now suspects that it has something to do with that old thief Yin Chunqiu …”

“I know.”

Xiao Chen glanced at him. This glance caused Yang Xiaoran’s entire body to tremble. Finally, he whispered, “Then Excellency … is he going to the Scorpion Sect personally?”

Before coming to Lustless palace, He had always been somewhat panicked and uneasy, This time, Xiao Chen gave him the order to kill. However, he was still unable to subdue the Scorpion Sect. If it was another sect, he could naturally destroy it in one fell swoop. However, the Scorpion Sect was too troublesome. Not to mention that he did not have the ability to destroy the Scorpion Sect, even if there was a mistake, he would probably lose ten lives.

Yang Xiaoran raised his head. At this moment, he didn’t even dare to breathe a mouthful of air. Only when Xiao Chen stood up did he let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Chen didn’t say anything and decided to personally go to the Heavenly Scorpion Sect. In this way, he had abandoned this heavy burden and didn’t have to worry about anything anymore.

“Right …”

As Xiao Chen walked towards the back hall, he suddenly stopped. Seeing that he had something to say, Yang Xiaoran immediately walked up and said, “What else can I do for Excellency?”

Xiao Chen turned his head slightly and looked at him, “You seem to be very afraid of me now?”

Yang Xiaoran originally thought that there was something else, but he didn’t expect to receive such a sentence. He couldn’t help but be stunned. He recalled the time at Pingyang Peak. Although it had been so many years, he clearly remembered what he had done at that time.

Xiao Chen said, “Seven years ago, I annihilated your entire sect. Now, you still hold a grudge in your heart?”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoran felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body trembled. In the next moment, he raised his head and saw that pair of the coldest eyes in the world. He felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. He hurriedly said, “This subordinate definitely does not dare to have two hearts! All these years, this subordinate …”

“I’m just talking.”

As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked into the back hall. Yang Xiaoran watched him leave like this. He stood there without daring to move. It was only when he couldn’t see his back that he suddenly realized that the clothes on his back were soaked in cold sweat.

Back then, on Pingyang Peak, for a moment he was eager for profit, Conspiring with Prince Sun Zhao, many times, as long as he took the first step, he would never be able to turn back. How did he expect Xiao Yichen to be targeted by Fairy Miaoyin during the Profound Azure Ceremony? Because he was afraid that things would be exposed, he escaped overnight. However, the Profound Azure Sect lacked someone. Even if it was just a small disciple of Pingyang Peak, how could the elders ignore him?

Therefore, he clearly understood in his heart that although the world was vast, only the Devil Religion had shelter for him, Yang Xiaoran. Afterwards, he went all the way to the northwest for fear of being found by the people of Xuanqing Sect. Finally, he arrived in Dingfeng City and mixed up in the city.

That year, Xiao Chen went to Dingfeng City for the first time and killed Xiao Tian’s adopted son. Actually, he had also seen him at that time. At that time, he absolutely couldn’t believe that Xiao Chen wasn’t dead. He still had the ability to do so.

Afterwards, during the chaos in Dingfeng City, he left the city and went outside. However, he was still unwilling to do nothing in this life. He did not dare to go to the Profound Sect, so he had no choice but to join the Devil Religion in the end.

All these years, he had been rolling around in the Devil Religion, fighting against people, fighting against the heavens. It was only ten years ago that he finally managed to make a name for himself. Because of the righteous chaos ten years ago, the Devil Religion was even more prosperous. It could be considered that the current situation had created him, causing him to rise up. Three years later, he had actually become the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Wind Hall.

Back then, the Blood Wind Hall’s influence wasn’t small either. It was on par with the Blood Clothes Sect and other Devil Dao sects. However, things were unpredictable. Afterwards, because the Hall Master of the Blood Wind Hall vowed not to surrender, he was eventually annihilated. When Yang Xiaoran saw that it was Xiao Chen who had brought people to destroy the sect, he stood in a pool of blood. It was as if he had lost his soul.

At that time, he thought that he was doomed. He clearly remembered how he treated Xiao Chen back at Pingyang Peak. Just as he was about to exterminate all thoughts, he didn’t expect that the other party would suddenly say, “You and I were originally from the same sect. If I don’t kill you, you can leave now.”

Yang Xiaoran never thought that the other party would let him go, but now he was so sharp that he immediately thought, who was this person in front of him? The entire sect didn’t even blink an eye. Why did he let him off alone? Obviously, he was useful to him …

Yang Xiaoran was naturally a smart person. He thought that if he really left, he would probably die under the cold light behind him within ten miles. Thinking of this, he immediately knelt down without hesitation and said, “I, Yang, am willing to follow the Sovereign Lord in this life until death do us part!”

Afterwards, Yang Xiaoran became Deputy Envoy Yang of Wuyu Tian. The reason why Xiao Chen left him alive was naturally reasonable. Because of this, he had lived in the Devil Dao for many years and would definitely be useful to him in the future.

Afterwards, it turned out that he was not wrong to keep this person. Over the past few years, Yang Xiaoran had helped him conquer the city and made countless contributions. However, without this person, Wu Yu Tian would not have become as impressive as he is now in just seven years.

However, although Yang Xiaoran had been cautious and didn’t dare to make any deviations over the years, every time he saw Xiao Chen, he still felt an icy coldness like he had entered a cold pond. Especially in recent days, the cold killing intent in his opponent’s eyes had caused him to panic and unease.

At this moment, looking at the deep palace, for some reason, Yang Xiaoran suddenly remembered the appearance of the white-clothed youth on Pingyang Peak.
