Chapter 400: 9.19 Second Blue Star - Corrupted Being

Xue Yan and Ou Ya were captured by the villagers under the orders of the chief. Ou Ya kept struggling as he was tied up with Xue Yan by the villagers. The words that came out of his mouth were full of curses and his spit was flying all over. Meanwhile, Xue Yan is thinking about what the Village Chief had said just now.

Once Xue Yan heard that his younger brother, Xue Hua, was given to the Ghost King as a substitute bride in Lou Lan's instead that his expression finally turned dark. Xue Yan has always known that Lou Lan, this half younger brother of theirs, hated him and his little brother as they were his father's Illegitimate children.

Xue Hua is his biological brother having the same parents while Lou Lan is his younger brother from his father's side who remarried after their mother's death. Their mother has always warned him about their clan's disgusting means. He heard from his mother that their Lou Clan isn't as clean as other thought they are. Lou Ming, their father, and the Clan's Leader is not an amiable man as he portraits. That man is a cold-hearted man who looks at his children only as pawns.

As long as you are useful, he will give away his love but if you are useless that man will treat you worse than servants. That man only loves his authority and power. He loves only himself, that's what his mother said to him. Before his mother died from illness, she said that he must protect his little brother. Their mother said like he is, his little brother is born with the purest spiritual qi and sight, but everything was sealed by his mother as she was afraid that their father will make use of Xue Hua like how he treated Lou Lan.

Lou Lan's special physique is an open secret in their clan. Once he heard the word Supreme Water Physique, Xue Yan sneaked inside their clan's library forbidden zone and learned about everything regarding the said Physique. Once he read through the book about the Supreme Water Physique, he knew that the possessor of this physique will become a life-prolonging treasure that allows one to upgrade and prolong one's life as long as they had intercourse with him.

His spiritual qi also got recharged by itself as he took a long sleep. In short, Lou Lan was protected by their father because he wanted to awaken Xue Bing's special physique and enjoy all merits of his special physique.

Once Xue Yan learned about that his first thought is to save that foolish youngest half-brother of his but suddenly he remembers his mother's words that his younger brother, Xue Hua, is also born with a special physique called Extreme Yin Physique. This Physique is one of the extremities and one of the strongest physiques under Yin. The Extreme Yin Physique possessor will be born with endless yin qi which Yin creatures cover but are harmful to humans.

Once a human sleeps with an Extreme Yin Physique possessor and accumulates enough yin to his body from the Extreme Yin Physique possessor, the former will be nothing but an extremely delicious delicacy for Yin Creatures like demons, ghosts, and such. A fully awakened Extreme Yin Physique possessor can control his Yin Qi to instantly take someone's life or save anyone from the dark side. He possesses enough Yin loved by Yin creatures and they treat him like their God.

Reading through this passage about Extreme Yin Physique, Xue Yan knew that once his father learned about Xue Hua's special physique that his younger brother would be imprisoned with the Ghost under their clan's command as a sacrificial pawn. He didn't wish for that to happen and brought away his younger brother, Ou Ya and Lou Ye from the Lou Clan. Of course, this course of action was planned well. They had chosen Lou Lan as their main target. They made sure to annoy and piss off the little spoiled master, making the clan disown them.

As expected they were all kicked out of the Lou Clan as they wanted. After being thrown away by the clan with the accumulated money the three of them had gathered they were able to have a simple life until they became adults. Then Ou Ya was found by his maternal Clan and was brought back to Ou Clan while Lou Ye decided to join the Yuelian Sect to seek revenge on the Lou Clan in the future. The Xue Brothers followed their mother's surname and changed Lou to Xue. They've been living quite freely this time.

But he didn't expect this time that the Lou Clan would blackmail him with his brother for a task. Not only he and Ou Ya were sent out of the city they had also schemed with his younger brother. The latter was taken to the Ghost King's Palace as a substitute bride and even they were given to be sacrificial pawns for a Demonic Tree God. He needs to return back to the city as soon as possible to look for Xue Hua. After all, he will definitely be alive. Xue Hua is still the vessel Lord Hei had chosen to house and there is no way a mere Ghost King can harm that God of Destruction. Plus with the possibility of the Ghost King being the vessel of the Lord God of Nether System, the life of Xue Hua will definitely safe. But the original Xue Yan's remaining brotherly feelings for Lou Lan completely disappeared after this event.

Village Chief, "Since you've heard your answer let's be the Sacrificial Ceremony. Kill the Sacrifice!"

Once the voice of the village chief resounded, the people surrounding Xue Yan and Ou Ya all jumped over them to take their lives. Seeing this situation the two could only free themselves from the rope and fight back against the villagers.

Even though they were completely surrounded from all sides and attacked. Xue Yan's expressionless face remained and an excited expression on Ou Ya's face appeared. This Ou Ya likes dangerous situations the most, it makes his blood boil with excitement and he couldn't help but enjoy the scene.

Countless red strings come out of Xue Yan's hands capturing every human in the village. While Ou Ya pulled out talismans from his pocket and used them to attack the villagers. These talismans were extremely useful as most of them were made by Xue Hua and bought by Ou Ya in bulk.

It only took a moment before Xue Yan took everything under his control. The red strings made from his spiritual qi spread around the land endlessly. The Village Chief and his villagers were looking at Xue Yin like he was some kind of a monster.

Stunned Village Chief, "N-No w-way! T-They said that your.."

"An ordinary disciple? Hahaha~ No way this deadpan face dude is never an ordinary person. He is a monster. A powerful one at that. Hahaha~" said Ou Ya while laughing as he saw the villager's astonished faces when they witnessed Xue Yan's strength.

"In their eyes, I might be.. because that's how I wanted them to see me," said Xue Yan. "My strings are usually used to bind someone's fate but.. it doesn't mean I can't use it to kill people!"

Frightened, the Village Chief could only beg their corrupted God to save them. "N-No! No! Tree God! Save us! We are willing to sacrifice half of our lives. Please kill these Celestial Masters!!"

Once the village chief said that he looked at Xue Yan and Ou Ya with a mocking gaze as if looking at a dead man only to feel something piercing him from behind. Looking down he saw a tree branch passing through his body, covered in his own flesh and blood. Around him he heard the sound of his villagers screaming, most of them ended like him pierced with a tree branch getting their vitality and blood sucked out while still alive.

"W-Why?" asked the chief to their tree god.

Behind him, on the black trunk of the huge tree, a human face appeared but wearing an evil and mocking expression on his face.

Corrupted Tree God, "Delicious. Delicious Humans fodder. Hehehe~"

Ou Ya made a disgusted expression and said, "Shit! What the hell is that? A demonic being and at a God level. Yanyan, can we defeat it?"

Xue Yan looked at the dying village chief and the corrupt God behind him. "That's a Corrupted God. It's no longer holy once you've started sacrificing human lives as tribute. It's no longer a God but a Demonic Being that is fed on flesh. It only lives with the instinct of Killing to eat. You've created a vile creature at God Stage."

"Hah! What are you talking about? You are going to die with us?!" yelled the village chief while bleeding all over.

Xue Yan sighed and said, "Are you just going to watch or help me kill the tree?"

He just spoke out of nowhere that even the village chief thought he had gone crazy until they saw a figure descending from behind him. It was the fox masked man in Japanese Kimono whom he met from before.

Fox God spoke, "I will protect you. You can go whatever you want. In exchange you tell me your name." as his Nine black tails appeared from behind him protecting Xue Yan from all sides. The Fox servants helped in protecting their Fox God and the humans in his protection.

"Is that so? I will think about it afterward." Replied Xue Yan. This short conversation is enough for the two to recognize each other,? Though they could speak directly words of telling each other's real identities, this causal interaction without going against their characters is enough proof that they knew each other.

Xue Yan moved his hands and took control of the red strings all over the place once again intending to cut all the branches of the Demonic Tree. The Fox God behind him protects him from all sides with his foxtails while using his foxfire to burn every branch he cuts off. They had a nice tacit understanding of what they should do and how they should work together.

Ou Ya and the other fox servants stood at the sideline letting the boss do the fighting.

"Wow~ they are both badass~"

"This human is indeed amazing. He can move at the same speed as the master~"

"Not bad. Not bad~"

Ou Ya asked, "What is not bad?"

"Human, this human friend of yours is amazing. He fits our Master the most. What do you think?"

"Hahaha~ you wanted our Yanyan to become a Fox Bride?! Pfft~ That's a nice dream you have..."

"What do you mean, Human?"

"Yanyan is the one to make a decision whether he would accept your God or not. It's not like you can force him right? Because Huahua would get angry if you do~" said Ou Ya with a huge grin.

The Fox servants hearing this human mentioned that Ghost King's Consort made them realize that a human that is able to make that evil being married a mere human would definitely be not normal. They were rendered silent as they thought about this topic. On the other hand, Ou Ya knew that Xue Hua's identity and strength had never been ordinary since the beginning.

He also noticed that Xue Yan would sometimes act like a servant that serve his lord before Xue Hua and there would also be times that Xue Hua's clear gaze would suddenly turn cold as if someone would overtake his body but at the same time his intuition says that the cold faced man is still Xue Hua. There is no question that Xue Hua is the strongest among them, even far stronger than the Fox God that appeared out of nowhere.

It took them only a whole hour to eliminate the Demonic Tree God. Once they've defeated their enemy, aside from Xue Yan no other humans were left alive.

Fox God asked, "Do you wish for me to clean up?"

"Can you teleport me to the Ghost King's Territory?" asked Xue Yan.

"Teleportation is impossible since there aren't enough materials for creating the Teleportation Circle, but I can run back. It will only take an hour with you on my back." Replied the Fox God.

Xue Yan nodded his head in agreement. "Turn around." He said as he watched the Fox God staring at him.

"Tell me your name and I will carry you on my back." Said the Fox God.

"Name Yan surnamed Xue. You?"

The Fox God smiled and took Xue Yin's left hand on his and landed a kiss on his wrist. "Nice to meet you, Yan'er. You can call me Hu Yue. I'm a? Fox God."

Ou Ya and the fox servants' reactions, "Hey! Don't forget we are still here!"
