Celestial Peak

Butler Su suppressed the remaining devil cultivator. He constrained their movements before lifting them up the air using his spirit qi and directed them a fierce glare.

"Tell me how you want to die! Also, you might as well tell me where your headquarters is, I'm going to pay them a visit later. I'll directly come to your place and eradicate all of your people myself."

Sun Wu asked with a calm tone. The Demon Blood Cult Members did not speak. No, they were unable to speak. They feared that they would die the moment they opened their mouths.

However, one of the prouder ones couldn't stand being suppressed like this and shouted at the overbearing Sun Wu.

"I'm not going to answer you an—"

Boom!

The shout immediately disappeared as Sun Wu waved his hands and an invisible palm able to blot out the sky came crushing down at the body of the devil cultivator. What a stupid man to shout at someone who held their lives.

Sun Wu did not let him off after turning him into meat paste. After killing the devil cultivator, he went ahead and took a hold of his soul. The devil cultivator's soul was translucent but still contained its features right before his death.

Sun Wu flicked his right hand and a crimson flame erupted on the devil cultivator's soul.

He started burning the soul and watched it being tormented. Screams of agony resounded in the hearts of those who were watching. Their fear towards this ordinary looking butler became deeper than the deepest trench. In comparison, the fear they have for Wang Shu Qing is now a mere puddle by the roadside.

At least Wang Shu Qing does not go to the length of torturing their souls. General Wang Shu Qing was an upright man who respected his comrades and enemy alike. However, this butler was the polar opposite.

"It burns! Please make it stop, make it stopppppp! I'll tell you everything I know, just make the flames go away! Sob*, please make it stoooop!"

The soul started begging for mercy. He was in so much pain after death that he didn't know how he should react. They say that death was an escape from pain, but this butler was clear about not making their death painless.

Even after death, their souls will be tortured, their souls will suffer, for how long you ask? No one knows because only Sun Wu know the answer to this question. They were devil cultivators who had done the most horrible crimes there is.

They pillaged ambush travelers, killed the family of those who opposes them, and **** innocent virgins. They look like true devils in the eyes of ordinary people. However, even they feel fear, and the man in front of them was capable of inducing them to feel fear.

The screams of the soul continued until Sun Wu sighed in boredom. He raised the intensity of the flames and destroyed the soul in an instant.

"Sigh, his scream was not pleasant to the ears… because he was too noisy I will change my proposition. You can't pic how you die anymore. Also, I need the information about your base. I only need one of you though so I'll kill the rest and leave only one.

"So here's what I would like to propose. I will pick the most suitable person to give me information and I will spare him with the flame soul torture.

"To the remaining eight people, I will kill you and torture your souls before destroying it, therefore stealing away your right to reincarnate. So, who here doesn't want their soul bask in my beautiful flames?"

Sun Wu's voice was not loud but it was crisp and clear. The nine remaining survivors of the Demon Blood Cult began to sweat as his words finally started sinking in.

Their souls will be destroyed by the flames and only one will be spared from that fate! Will they speak or not? What a stupid to thing to ask, their very existence depends on this, of course they will speak.

"I know everything about the sect, please spare me. I will tell you everything you want to know, you want to know our location correct? I'll tell you where it is."

"Don't be fooled by him esteemed elder. What he knows is a mere fake. He is hated by the sect so we only told him the fake headquarters so we won't see his ugly mug. Believe me, I know where it is, I know better than anybody else."

"What did you say? You know where it is? Stop spouting nonsense to trick this handsome and respectable elder, what you know is the pig pen not the headquarters."

Sun Wu who was listening by the side finally had enough and said

"That's enough, this is too irritating, all of you, die!"

With the wave of a hand, the eight sky root stage cultivators turned into meat paste without trouble. The only one who remained alive was the pale man. Sun Wu didn't immediately went to questioning the pale man but first took the souls of the eight sky root stage cultivators and burned them with his crimson flame.

Sun Wu then turned to look at the pale man and said.

"You were the one who cut off the young master's arm correct? You know what, you don't need to speak. I'll just get all the information I want from your soul. Also, you're the winner. I won't torture you with my flames but treat your soul into something great later."

Sun Wu waved his hands and killed the pale man with the invisible palm he used to kill all of the devil cultivator. True to his words, Sun Wu immediately started extracting every bit of information he could from the pale man's soul.

The technique he used was called Soul Extraction. It was a skill every cultivator will gain once they reach certain level of cultivation.

Sun Wu digested the bit of information the pale man got him before keeping his soul inside a red bottle.

"So they're all hiding in the Hideous Ghost Valley. I'll eradicate them after confirming the young master's situation. His life shouldn't be in danger but the hellish qi inside his body is rather problematic. The young miss is also about to head home, I can't have her worry."

Sun Wu then looked around the area before flying up to the sky. He looked down when he reached a certain point before raising his hands. He exerted a bit of force and the ground one hundred-meter radius of him as the epicenter turned to rubbles.

The houses were also destroyed in the process.

"The Blood Devil Sacrifice Formation is now destroyed. Hmph, for a formation to be set up inside the Kingdom, what is that idiotic King doing? He's too benevolent and does not care for... sigh*, I'm blaming others too much, and it's also my fault for being too lax on the safety of the family.

"Being stuck in this backwater of a kingdom has made me grow dull."

With that, an uproar appeared in the Azure Skies Kingdom, the Hundred Orchids Street was destroyed by a sudden explosion. The Crown Prince and his men came to the Hundred Orchid Street as soon as they received this news. They looked at the devastation and the blood all over the place. They then turned to look at Sun Wu.

Azure Lin, the Crown Prince of the Azure Skies Kingdom stepped forward, he bowed respectfully to the Sun Wu before saying.

"Butler Sun what are you doing here?"

He was well aware of Butler Sun's identity as he had seen him numerous time before. Sun Wu only nodded to him before saying.

"I killed the people of Demon Blood Cult who managed to infiltrate the Kingdom. There was an energy palace stage cultivator with them so the area turned to this after I fought them.

"Prince Lin, tell the king that the contract of our Wang family and your Azure Royal family might end sooner. Tell him that the young master of the Wang family has been injured and we might return to our main house."

Butler Sun explained the situation to Azure Lin without much problem.

"Don't dawdle crown prince. The King will be angry at you if you don't quickly deliver my message to him, as for what happened here, blame it all to the Demon Blood Cult. If the public starts questioning about their safety tell them that the cult will be no more tomorrow."

Azure Lin did not dare be respectful to the butler of the Wang family so he immediately complied with his instructions. He was the Crown Prince but even his father had to lower his head to the Wang family. What was he compared to his father the King?

He went back to the Royal Palace together with his men as soon as Butler Sun told him to.

After seeing the Crown Prince leave, Butler Sun tapped his feet on the ground and disappeared from that place. He reappeared above the Wang family manor and descended from the sky.

"Shadows come to me!"

A man who was clad in black appeared from out of nowhere and stood behind Butler Sun.

"Where is the young master?" Butler Sun asked.

The 'shadow' pointed towards Wang Ling's courtyard and Butler Sun disappeared from sight. He soon reappeared in front of Wang Ling's door, as soon as he entered, hellish qi burst out of the room.

His face turned grim. He turned to look at Wang Ling and saw that his body was continuously emitting that vile and malicious qi.

"I already knew something was wrong but I never thought that it would be this bad. For the young master to have this kind of evil qi inside his body, did he awaken some kind of bloodline or unique constitution when he broke through the earth root stage? Or does this have something to do with the Blood Devil Sacrifice?"

Bloodline power and Unique Constitutions, these are rare blessings from the heavens. They can appear on anyone who is smiled upon by the heavens. An[Extreme Yin Physique]is such an example of a constitution.

"Wait, this is not devilish qi… is this qi from hell? Hellish qi? How can such a dangerous qi exist inside the young master's body? For him to possess this kind of qi, the young master is frowned upon by the heavens. "

For such a dangerous qi to exist in Wang Ling's body made Butler Sun worry even more. This kind of qi was special and powerful, it can even be considered as a special constitution on its own but it is also dangerous for the possessor.

From what he knew, there's a high chance that something bad might happen to the Wang Ling in the future if this hellish qi is not suppressed or dealt with. It has to be either contained, suppress or be tamed by the young master or else it might harm him in the future.

Butler Sun sighed but said nothing else. He wanted to cure Wang Ling but he was no doctor. He can kill but not heal. He can only do one thing and that's to stabilize the spirit qi inside Wang Ling's body.

He initiated his own spirit qi and placed his right hand on Wang Ling's chest. Butler Sun used his own spirit qi to suppress the hellish qi. For a continuous twenty minutes he circulated his spirit qi over and over again until the hellish qi has been suppressed.

He managed to push back all the 'over energized' hellish qi back to Wang Ling's spirit ocean and qi pillars.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he heave a sigh of relief.

There were still residual hellish qi inside the room so Butler Sun went ahead and took care of that as well. The hellish qi was purged out of the room with a sway of his right hand.

"This qi is really dangerous, thankfully the young master is still weak. If he's as strong as the Second Young Master then suppressing it will need the use of an artifact or a[Saint Spirit Plant]. But still, how did this qi came to be? Was the young master expose… with devilish qi?"

As he realized how stupid this remark, Butler Sun raged up and understood what is happening.

"Demon Blood Cult, your puny formation even initiated this kind of malicious qi inside the young master? The Blood Devil Sacrifice must have connected the young master to Hell Realm. It should be the blessing of the devil.

"I need to tell the master we need to hurry and go back to the main house or else we won't be able to do anything about this."

Butler Sun looked at Wang Ling's pitiful state and felt the need to curse himself. Wang Ling's severed left arm and bloodied clothes. Butler Sun felt an ache in his chest.

His breathing became haggard and his chest tightened. His hatred for his own stupid disregard for unknown circumstances endangered the young master he was supposed to look after.

Pah!

He gave himself a tight slap to the face. This slap was enough to make him bleed. A clear bright palm mark appeared on his right cheek and a bloody nose began to surface. He was finally clear headed.

"I need to concentrate!"

As he resolved himself, a black clothed man appeared behind him.

"Azure Botai has arrived. Please give us your instruction and we will punish him for letting the rats of the Demon Blood Cult enter his Kingdom."

The man clad in black spoke with hostility. Azure Botai was the King of these lands. Their enemy was the Demon Blood Cult and they actually let their enemy inside the Kingdom?

Butler Sun shook his head while wiping the blood out of his bloody nose.

"Enough, punishing him will not do any good. I will meet with Botai and you prepare a letter to let the master know I'm coming to meet with him tonight. The distance of the southern garrison is rather far so use the Silver Emperor Swallow as the carrier."

The man clad in black dared not disobey Butler Su and left to do what he was told. Butler Sun turned to look at Wang Ling once more before leaving that place. He called some maids over to clean Wang Ling's bloodied body.

Just as Butler Sun went out, the over energized hellish qi inside Wang Ling's spirit ocean and qi pillars began to throb. His body that had been (slightly) tempered by the hellish qi began absorbing the over energized hellish qi.

The hellish qi soon found its way to his blood… it was the start of an even harsher fate.
