Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Bai Wenbin scanned the courtyard behind him and then snorted coldly, "Who's there! Show yourself if you dare!" Though he spoke confidently, Bai Wenbin's back was already sweating profusely. The fact that someone had approached him so silently indicated that their strength was at least above his own. Bai Wenbin seriously suspected that the Blood Rainbow Pavilion had already sent an assassin to kill him. At this thought, Bai Wenbin tightly gripped the sword in his hand. Just then, a voice rang from outside the pavilion, "Commander Bai, no need to be nervous. I have come to help you." Bai Wenbin quickly turned to look at the entrance of the pavilion, only to see a cloud of black mist slowly dissipating, revealing an old man in a black robe. His hood covered his cheeks, and only some wrinkled, tree-bark-like skin was faintly visible. Feeling the aura emitted by the old man in the black robe, Bai Wenbin's forehead began to sweat profusely. This man's strength was at least at the Yin-Yang Realm, or even possibly the All Law Realm. He had encountered Yin-Yang Realm Cultivators before; normal ones did not have such an oppressive presence. Bai Wenbin tried to calm the fear in his heart. The old man had just said he came to help, so he likely wouldn't harm him. Thinking this, Bai Wenbin asked, "Senior said you wanted to help me? May I ask what exactly Senior intends to help with?" The old man replied, "Naturally, to help Commander Bai kill Lu Chen." Bai Wenbin was momentarily stunned, then a great joy welled up in his heart, and he hastily inquired, "Senior plans to personally kill Lu Chen?" "What does Senior desire? As long as Senior can kill Lu Chen, anything that Junior has is yours to demand." The old man said, "Commander Bai, you misunderstand my intention." "I only said I would help Commander Bai kill Lu Chen. I did not say I would take action myself." "If Commander Bai wishes to kill Lu Chen, you still need to take action personally." This... Bai Wenbin frowned and then said, "Senior, Junior only possesses the power of the Genesis Realm. Aside from Lu Chen in Black Moon City, Ji Qiuyu is also a Genesis Realm Cultivator. How could I possibly stand a chance against both of them?" "Moreover, the Blood Rainbow Pavilion seems to highly value Lu Chen and forbids anyone from making a move against him. Presumably, they've already sent people to Black Moon City to protect him." "Relying solely on Junior's power to kill Lu Chen would be as hard as ascending to heaven." The old man in the black robe let out a strange laugh, "Hehehe," and then said, "That's simple, as long as you become strong enough, none of them will be your match." Hearing this, Bai Wenbin thought to himself that this was nonsense. Cultivation wasn't easy, and to have the strength to kill Lu Chen, he would need to be at least at the Yin-Yang Realm. By the time he reached the Yin-Yang Realm, Lu Chen would probably also be a Yin-Yang Realm Cultivator. The key point was that the Blood Rainbow Pavilion might be protecting Lu Chen. If it were one-on-one, he might have a chance, but even disregarding if he could kill Lu Chen, if he succeeded in assassinating him and the Blood Rainbow Pavilion found out, they might just wipe him out immediately. Bai Wenbin looked once more at the old man before him; for some reason, he always felt a particularly uncomfortable aura emanating from this elder. Bai Wenbin then said, "Please enlighten me, Senior!" Bai Wenbin did not believe that this powerhouse had come here merely to encourage him to go to his death. Since the old man had spoken of making him stronger, that proved that he must have the ability to enhance his powers. The old man then said, "As long as you are willing to accept the power of the Heavenly Demon, I can grant you enough strength." Bai Wenbin's heart skipped a beat. Heavenly Demon Power... Bai Wenbin's eyes widened with a fearful expression as he stared at the old man in front of him. No wonder he always felt an uncomfortable aura emanating from this old man, it turned out to be the Heavenly Demon Power. Since Heavenly Demon Power suppresses a cultivator's Spiritual Power, it naturally makes the cultivator feel uneasy. Thus, this old man must be a Demon Cultivator, and not just any ordinary one—ordinary Demon Cultivators don't possess Heavenly Demon Power. A Demon Cultivator who possesses Heavenly Demon Power must have had direct contact with a Heavenly Demon. Suddenly, Bai Wenbin felt a surge of panic within him. He hadn't expected a Demon Envoy to find him, he was very aware of the world's hatred for Demon Cultivators; if he became one, he would likely live a life of hiding. But the person in front of him was a Demon Envoy, far stronger than him—if he refused, the Demon Envoy would surely kill him. At this moment, Bai Wenbin felt his brain go blank. It's over, it's all over... What to do now... Seeing Bai Wenbin did not immediately agree, the old man gave a chilling smile, "Commander Bai, you've been a general in the Great Chu Dynasty for almost a hundred years, don't you want to advance further?" "With your talent, reaching the Yin-Yang Realm would take hundreds of years, if not impossible even at your life's end." "You approached Qiuyu Ji and pursued her merely to connect with the Zixiao Dynasty through her, thereby gaining more cultivation resources, didn't you?" "Unfortunately, Qiuyu Ji is now Lu Chen's woman, and your path has been severed." Hearing this, Bai Wenbin fell silent. Indeed, his talents were mediocre; otherwise, he wouldn't have been merely a general at the borders of the Great Chu Dynasty. With the current fragmentation of the Great Chu Dynasty, this was a perfect opportunity for him, but sadly he controlled only a small territory. He had thought about expanding his land and power, but his strength was insufficient to compete with other Military Governors. He pursued Qiuyu Ji not only for her beauty but also for the power behind her. Even though the Zixiao Dynasty had long stopped sending people to Black Moon City, Qiuyu Ji was still a member of the Zixiao Dynasty, and behind her was the powerful Ji Family. But now all was lost, Qiuyu Ji was with Lu Chen, and with the protection of the Blood Rainbow Pavilion, he found it difficult to separate them. He feared that the day might come when the Great Chu Dynasty would completely disintegrate, and his territory would be swallowed by other Military Governors, forcing him to flee or submit. As an ambitious man, he didn't want to live under someone else's roof any longer. With this thought, Bai Wenbin clenched his fists. Although Demon Cultivators were hunted in the Ziyang World, if he hid well, others might not discover he was a Demon Cultivator. Therefore, Bai Wenbin said to the old man, "Senior, I am willing to accept the Heavenly Demon Power!" Seeing Bai Wenbin agree, the old man laughed heartily, "Good! Very good!" "The humble one will now bestow upon you the Heavenly Demon Power!" As his voice dropped, the old man raised his hand, and a mass of black fog surrounded Bai Wenbin's body, then the black mist entered his body through his orifices. Instantly, Bai Wenbin let out agonizing, heart-wrenching screams. The old man waved his hand, and a soundproof barrier enveloped the courtyard, completely isolating any noise from the guards on the Flying Boat.
