At this moment, no matter how bold they were, no one dared to follow Ye Chen any further.
Even if someone was stubborn and didn't want to leave, soon an elder from their family would appear and drag them away by force.
One of the elders, before leaving, gave Ye Chen a cold glare.
"This time I won't take you back, only because of my child's feelings."
"But if you ever get involved with my child again, I'll make your whole bloodline die with you!"
The sharp scolding was deafening, and it made Ye Chen so angry he was about to explode.
This was insane!
All of this was because of that Su Ming!
His mood turned foul, his chest heated up, and he nearly coughed up blood again.
"Suuu Ming! Just wait, you bastard!"
"I'm about to gather all five talismans. Next time we meet, I'll make you regret for everything! Arghhhh!"
Ye Chen's helpless rage echoed throughout Songfeng City.
[Ding! Ye Chen is abandoned by all, no one dares to come near. Luck points decreased by 100. Host gained 2000 Demonic Charm points.]
Inside the imperial palace.
Hearing the system message, Su Ming felt very satisfied.
Ye Chen had spent a whole month gathering that 100 points of luck.
And now, it was gone just like that.
Su Ming let go of that thought.
To Su Ming, destroying the Lei Clan wasn't even a big deal.
The Infinite Demon Palace was one of the ruling overlords of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Only a few could stand on the same level as the Infinite Demon Palace.
The Demon Emperor's Son returned to the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
Within the sect, Master Yuhua and others had already heard of the Lei Clan's destruction.
Their gazes toward Su Ming were full of fear and caution.
That was an Ancient Clan!
The Lei Clan's strength was far greater than theirs.
Yet it had been wiped out, just because of a single word from the Demon Emperor's Son.
So what about their tiny little sect?
In that moment, the entire Yuhua Immortal Sect felt as if they were just an inch away from their death. Their manners and rituals became meticulous and flawless.
Even Master Yuhua didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Su Ming.
Within the Yuhua Immortal Sect, only Fang Qingxue could still remain calm and composed.
"Your Highness."
Fang Qingxue was summoned and still felt a bit puzzled.
Ever since the Lei Clan incident, she had started feeling confused whenever she looked at Su Ming.
Clearly, this was the Demon Emperor's Son, Su Ming standing in front of her.
But he felt nothing like the terrifying man described in the rumors.
The Su Ming before her was gentle and elegant, not the least bit overbearing.
The world claimed he destroyed Dao Sects and Ancient Clans at the slightest anger, a terrifying figure.
"Today I called you here because I have a question for you."
Seeing her confusion, Su Ming smiled softly and asked,
"Soon, I will be leaving the Yuhua Immortal Sect. Will you come with me?"
What…?
Fang Qingxue trembled slightly, her cheeks turning red in an instant.
The Demon Emperor's Son was inviting her… to follow him?
For Fang Qingxue, this was like a gift from heaven.
This was something countless others had only dreamed of.
During Su Ming's time in the sect, the behavior of the other senior and junior sisters had said it all.
Those once proud women would often stroll around the palace entrance.
Dressed in thin, very thin, short and flashy clothes, trying to catch his attention.
But even with all that effort, they couldn't get Su Ming to even glance at them.
Fang Qingxue couldn't help but wonder, was she really worthy for all this?
She was just an ordinary martial artist.
A struggle rose in her heart.
Su Ming didn't rush her, he simply looked at her calmly.
After a while, Fang Qingxue clenched her teeth and made up her mind.
In a moment like this, how could she care about pride or a woman's reserve?
If she didn't say yes now, she might never get another chance like that.
Then, it would be truly over.
Fang Qingxue had a cool and graceful nature. Once she decided, she didn't care what others thought.
These past days, she had already started to admire the Demon Emperor's Son.
Gentle, refined, and with a unique presence.
Even if others feared him like a supreme being or devil,
To her, this was who he had always been.
"Qingxue… is willing to join.... Your Highness."
Fang Qingxue nodded, her face flushed.
That sentence was her giving him her heart.
Su Ming smiled.
"Good."
He casually took out a jade slip. "This is for you."
Fang Qingxue looked. On the golden slip were four big words: 'Sword Dao True Secret'.
"This is… a Heaven-grade technique?!"
Her eyes widened in shock.
The 'Sword Dao True Secret' was a legendary treasure for sword cultivators.
It held the knowledge of thirty thousand sword arts. To master its secrets meant to command the sword path itself.
When that time comes, with one swing of the sword, all other swords would bow.
Just incredible power.
And now… the Demon Emperor's Son was just giving it to her?
Fang Qingxue stammered, "Your Highness, t-this is too valuable…"
"Take it. You're not an outsider."
Su Ming lifted her chin slightly and smiled, "You have the talent, so make good use of it. Don't waste it."
*Whoosh!*
Fang Qingxue's face turned even redder, her heart pounding like crazy.
But she didn't resist. Her beautiful eyes shimmered like autumn water. "Yes…"
"Go on."
Su Ming gave her a gentle smile.
Fang Qingxue, like a startled little rabbit, quickly ran off.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Another gentle little lamb has fallen for you."
A soft, slightly jealous voice echoed nearby.
Qin Yingluo, graceful like an immortal, walked out from the inner hall.
Known as one of the most beautiful women in all Three Thousand Worlds, her presence was ethereal, her beauty and figure flawless.
But now, her face showed clear jealousy and longing.
"Oh? I think I smell something burning."
Su Ming looked at Qin Yingluo with a teasing smile.
"How would I dare be jealous?"
Qin Yingluo's voice still had a hint of sourness. "After all, I'm just a lowly maid of the Prince."
"Your Highness treats Fang Qingxue so well. You weren't like that to me at the beginning…"
As she spoke, she remembered how cold and overbearing Su Ming had been when they first met.
Distant and untouchable, like a towering mountain.
His eyes had looked down on everything, filled with killing intent, like a supreme majestic being or.... a demon...
