Bow

Throughout Zhan Shenwei kept drinking his spirit wine as he watched.

It wasn't that he enjoyed Bai Chen's antics, it was just that although he liked Xia Yunzi and would still keep his promise to Xia Tianming he didn't want her to bound to him by their engagement.

He didn't know about the Canglan continent but everywhere followed the law of the jungle, if Xia Yunzi left him to be safe he wouldn't like it but he would her let go.

Zhan Shenwei wasn't really a nice person, things he wanted he made sure he got but Xia Yunzi was different to Zhan Shenwei, he would give her a choice.

Still when Bai Chen's dogs mentioned Xia Tianming being dead Zhan Shenwei was already getting angry, Xia Tianming was someone Zhan Shenwei really respected and felt gratitude to.

And when he saw Xia Yunzi's reaction after hearing their words, morerage brewed in his heart.

Few things could faze Zhan Shenwei, fewer things fazed him much yet Xia Yunzi was something different to Zhan Shenwei.

And not just because of his promise to Xia Tianming and although he really comprehend why but deep down in his heart Xia Yunzi was someone very dear to Zhan Shenwei.

Her sorrow he would quench them, her fears he would wipe and her anger was his rage.

Taking the gourd he had been drinking from, Zhan Shenwei took one more large gulp and set it down then looked at the two lackeys.

His cold eyes fixed them as he said, " Bow! ".

Since these people felt they could insult Xia Yunzi because they felt Xia Tianming was gone, he would make them know she was still royalty.

He would make them bow as they used to anytime they saw her.

At first everyone taught they had heard wrongly, even the two lackeys asked with a sneer, " bow to you".

Not bothered by their question Zhan Shenwei shook his head, " Not to me " and pointed to Xia Yunzi, " Bow to her ".

The whole dining hall was silent as they watched what Zhan Shenwei wanted to do.

Shang Jing Mei smiled as she watched, he was finally reacting to something , these idiots had finally provoked this fiend.

She was excited to see what would happen.

Bai Chen sneered who did Zhan Shenwei think he was, even Xia Yunzi who was a princess couldn't tell any to bow anymore.

The two lackeys said coldly, " and if we don't".

The cold look on Zhan Shenwei's was replaced with his usual indifferent look, he couldn't be bothered to play games with these trash.

Standing from his seat he said, " I'll make you ! ", taking a step towards them, his usual carefree demeanour changed.

Today he was going to let these idiots know that Xia Yunzi was not triffled with.

Willing the limit of his Sacred blood demon transformation, his aura changed akin to that of an ancient demon king.

Demonic qi rose from his body as his blood qi exploded, on his forehead shone four golden ancient characters " Sacred Blood Demon Emperor ".

All those in the room felt fear crept into their hearts at his transformation.

" Sacred blood demon Emperor!", why did this guy have those script words on his forehead ?

He was clearly human, did he also have the blood demon bloodline.

Apart from cultivation his spirit qi, Zhan Shenwei had spent some time studying his first divine ability.

the Sacred Blood Demon Emperor was a demonic Emperor that had mastered the essence of blood qi, apart from his increasing blood qi and strength Zhan Shenwei discovered he could also suppress those nearby by affecting their blood qi.

Even the blood demons didn't really have the ability except those that had evolved their innate ability to a very high degre.

Zhan Shenwei had obtained his divine ability from the Sacred Blood Demon Emperor himself, his control of demonic blood qi would even equal the Sacred Blood Demon Emperor himself in the near future.

The two lackeys stood rooted on the ground, they tried moving but they couldn't as their blood and body wouldn't follow their will.

Shang Jing Mei stood up from her cushion as she looked at the ancient characters on Zhan Shenwei in suprise.

Unlike before where it just looked a bit different from the usual Blood Demon transformation of the blood demon clan.

Zhan Shenwei's transformation now, looked more powerful, more regal, more ancient.

Hadn't Zhan Shenwei just absorbed the blood essence of the blood demon king, his present transformation was even more mysterious than that of the blood demon king himself.

Although she had not participated in the Great war of centuries ago, with the resources for the Treasure Pavilion getting a spirit recording of some of the war scenes wasn't difficult, after all they had even gotten the blood essence of the blood demon king from when he was injured.

Zhan Shenwei's present transformation was more perfect that his.

And those characters on his forehead, was that the ancestor of the blood demon clan?.

Shang Jing Mei was really baffled, had Zhan Shenwei fined the blood demon bloodline and evolved it to atavism.

So quickly!

It was even easier to believe he had the direct Sacred blood demon Emperor bloodline from the beginning.

But that wasn't so, Zhan Shenwei bought the blood essence from their Treasure Pavilion.

Just a drop, a drop!, from this drop of blood essence it would have been astonishing if he could have obtained the blood demon bloodline, very astonishing if he could have obtained the demon king bloodline, but the Sacred blood demon Emperor!...

Atavism was when one traced their bloodline down to it's source.

As descendants of powerful powerhouses procreate the bloodlines of later generations thinned.

Atavism was extremely difficult almost impossible, it required massive opportunity, resources, time, comprehension, it was really really difficult.

Zhan Shenwei had absorbed the blood essence of the blood demon king, naturally that should have being his limit even if he evolved his bloodline.

Even if they was hope of atavism for him, it was extremely low almost impossible.

Even if he evolved his bloodline there was a lot of stages , for the blood demon clan for example there was normal blood demons , demon warriors, demonic generals, demon kings, demonic lords , High lords then finally Demonic Emperor.

Each rank was very difficult for even blood demons not to talk of an human.

According to ancient texts Demonic Emperors were existences on par with Immortal Kings, these were extremely powerful powerhouses, yet Zhan Shenwei had the bloodline of one in him now, how was that possible.

.....

Although Shang Jing Mei was wrong about Zhan Shenwei having the bloodline of the Sacred Blood Demon Emperor, having devoured it, he did indeed have the ability of the Sacred Blood Demon Emperor in him.

He knew exposing the Sacred Blood Demon Emperor rune on his forehead would garner a lot of attention but at times being too inconspicuous or low key would make people step on you.

In fact Zhan Shenwei had planned to reveal it before, Bai Chen and his dogs just brought it forward.

Xia Yunzi was very talented and if he couldn't show his worth, after reaching the Canglan continent he could be tossed afar from her.

Carrying his focus back to the matter at hand, with steady steps he walked towards the two lackeys, carrying them by their necks he brought them in front of where Xia Yunzi was seated before pushing them towards the ground in a kneeling position.

" Bow !", Zhan Shenwei said in a cold voice.

Bai Chen erupted in anger," How dare you !".

One had to look at the master before beating his dogs , although this lackeys didn't mean much if he allowed them to be humiliated wouldn't that affect his reputation, how could others follow him in the future.

Zhan Shenwei looked at Bai Chen and sneered, this Bai Chen was still vexing for others, who told him he was going scot-free.

Having put the other two on their news , with his now free hands, Zhan Shenwei grabbed the sitting Bai Chen by the neck and put him beside his dogs, on their knees.

Bai Chen felt so much anger and shame, although he wasn't really a genius he was still far better than the two lackeys, when Zhan Shenwei tried grabbing him he had erupted with the full might of his cultivation yet he felt body weaken, his blood stiff not flowing in his body, unable to mobilize his strength and Zhan Shenwei had grabbed him like he was nothing.

The whole hall was silent, the usually very normal Zhan Shenwei now gave them a really demonic aura.

Although Bai Chen wasn't really strong and relied on his family's power, Zhan Shenwei lifting him up even when he resisted was enough to instill fear them.

It was easy.

From the top floor Shang Jing Mei watched on from the screen, although she had expected a reaction from Zhan Shenwei, she didn't expect him to be this domineering.

He was clearly not sparing them any mercy, what an interesting kid, she liked it.

Zhan Shenwei said coldly once more, " Bow ! " .

Seeing they weren't willing to budge Zhan Shenwei brought his feet on the head of the first lackey, pushing down and stomping his head towards the floor.

The ground shook light as Zhan Shenwei used little force, he wasn't interested in injuring any of them, he wanted them to be well and enjoy the shame.

Injuring them would only give them a reason to hide away, raising his leg once more he stomped the head of the second lackey.

Fear creeped through Bai Chen, he didn't know if it was purposely, Zhan Shenwei had made him the last.

In fact he was right!

Zhan Shenwei wanted him to witness shame and fear of his lackeys before it was his turn and he was doing it slowly.

When Zhan Shenwei grabbed Bai Chen, one of those that flattered Bai Chen had run to tell one of the elder members of the Bai Clan.

On getting to the dining hall, seeing that Zhan Shenwei was about to humiliate Bai Chen, Bai Mu was furious.

As a place where only those of the younger generation gathered, the elders stayed off, yet here he was seeing his Young Master being humiliated.

" You dare, stop !", Bai Mu shouted in rage.

Seeing a member of the elder generation was about to involve himself, Xia Yunzi wanted to stop Zhan Shenwei, in fact everything had happened so fast before she could react.

Knowing him Xia Yunzi knew Zhan Shenwei wouldn't listen, she knew he was angry.

As someone who spent the most time with Zhan Shenwei she knew he was indifferent to most things yet he was angry for her sake.

Xia Yunzi was happy at this but she could see things were getting serious, to be safe she clenched the talisman Ye Mo had given her.

Ye Mo hadn't expected anything to happen after all this was the spirit boat and they were just going to the dining hall to eat, what could happen?, so he was a bit surprised when he sensed it still he rushed towards the dining hall.

In the dining everyone watched waiting to see what Zhan Shenwei was going to do now that an Elder was involved.

Zhan Shenwei looked at Bai Mu although he didn't know what level exactly was Bai Mu's cultivation, he could discern he was in the Qi refinement realm.

those who were in the Core formation had evolved their qi to another level, as far as they released their breath their aura was enough to pressure those below their realm, Bai Mu didn't give him such pressure.

A mere Qi refinement dared tell him to stop, it didn't even matter even if he was in the peak of the Qi refinement realm, to Zhan Shenwei those that couldn't kill him weren't worthy of his attention and a mere Qi refinement cultivator wasn't enough to stop him today.

Sneered coldly at Bai Mu, he mouthed "Trash !".
