Chapter 1639: Chapter 699: Oath

Little Corpse and Little Zhiyo, Little Wuya are considered closely bonded. Over the years, as it cultivated, it often reminisced about the times it ventured into the Demon Awakening Gate with its two little friends.

"Little Wuya has some matters and needs to be away for a while. Earlier, Little Zhiyo was injured in the Demon Tide and is still recuperating. Once he’s better, I’ll bring him to see you."

Ye Lingyue affectionately tapped Little Corpse’s head.

Seeing Ye Lingyue interacting closely with Little Corpse, just like in the past, Long Baobao suddenly sighed.

"Ling Yue, about what happened back then, I’m really sorry."

Ye Lingyue’s hand paused for a moment, knowing Long Baobao was referring to the matter of Feng Xun and Wu Zhong.

It was only afterwards that Long Baobao learned that the seemingly gentle and serene Prince Beiqing was actually Ghost Emperor Wu Chong.

"What fault do you have? After all, even the Sifang City Lord fell during that battle."

Ye Lingyue said nonchalantly. In the blink of an eye, several years had passed since the fall of Feng Xun and Wu Zhong.

When they first died, Ye Lingyue did have resentment.

But with Di Shen’s rebirth, she had already let go; otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken Zitang Su as her master.

Perhaps for Feng Xun and Wu Zhong, being reborn as Di Shen was true new life.

"I saw Di Shen at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp. Is he really..."

Long Baobao hesitated.

Earlier on, he had accidentally met Di Shen and was amazed by him.

Di Shen looked almost identical to Feng Xun, but unlike Feng Xun, Di Shen did not remember Long Baobao, and his cultivation was astonishing.

Long Baobao couldn’t detect a trace of familiarity in him.

But what was with that face?

How could there be two such similar faces in the world?

At that time, Long Baobao was filled with doubt and wanted to ask Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue hesitated, unsure of how to explain to Long Baobao.

Few know about the Demon Ancestor’s rebirth as Di Shen.

The tent fell silent for a moment.

"Baobao, if Di Shen is indeed Feng Xun, would you want to kill him like the Sifang City Lord did?"

Ye Lingyue suddenly lifted her head and looked at Long Baobao.

No matter how she tried to conceal it, the fact that Di Shen was Feng Xun and Wu Zhong, or even that he was the Demon Ancestor reborn with the Doomsday Demonic Sun, would eventually be exposed.

"If I want to kill him? What would you do?" Long Baobao probed.

"Then kill me first. I won’t watch him die in front of me a second time."

Ye Lingyue said firmly.

Ever since she became clear-headed, she had been striving to become stronger.

Initially, it was to protect her mother and avenge both her and her mother.

But the deaths of Feng Xun and Wu Zhong, who died saving her, profoundly affected her.

From the moment she saw baby Di Shen, she told herself that this time, she must not lose Di Shen again.

Long Baobao was stunned and looked at Ye Lingyue. Her eyes, beautiful like a fair sunny day one moment, turned into raging waves the next.

"Pfft, Ling Yue, look at you being so serious, I was just joking. You’re my savior and the savior of our Long Family. Rest assured, I won’t reveal Di Shen’s true identity to anyone."

Long Baobao laughed, and the previously tense atmosphere eased significantly.

Images from Sifang City flashed through Long Baobao’s mind.

That day, the Demon Ancestor was sealed.

The Sifang City Lord exhausted his qi and returned to Sifang City, already on the brink of death.

Before his death, he brought his sole closed-door disciple, Long Baobao, to his bedside.

"Baobao, although the Demon Ancestor and the Doomsday Demonic Sun have been sealed, they haven’t completely vanished. If one day they return to this world, they will be even more powerful and terrifying. Promise me, you must uphold justice and exterminate them."

The aged face of the Sifang City Lord was full of expectation.

Young Long Baobao kneeled by the bed, teary-eyed.

"Master... but the Demon Ancestor is Brother Feng... he is Sister Ling Yue’s lover. I don’t want to make Sister Ling Yue sad."

Long Baobao didn’t want to harm his comrades he had once shared life and death experiences with, nor did he want to hurt Sister Ling Yue.

"Baobao, a demon is a demon. They are different from the Human Clan; even if they take human form, they can’t extinguish their nature. Promise me, if the Demon Ancestor is reborn, you must kill him."

The Sifang City Lord fought with his last breath and seized Long Baobao.

Despite his young age, the Sifang City Lord knew this child had exceptional talent, and along with the Corpse Demon Weasel, he would be the greatest among all Sifang City Lords.

"Master..."

Long Baobao hesitated.

"Promise me!"

"I... promise you."

Long Baobao looked at the dying Sifang City Lord and spoke softly.

"Swear it! If you break your vow, you will forever guard the Demon Awakening Gate, unable to reincarnate."

"I promise Master, as long as I encounter the Demon Ancestor again, I will personally kill him."

After making this commitment, the Sifang City Lord passed away.

After his master’s death, Long Baobao once secretly had Little Corpse look after Sister Yue.

After Brother Feng’s death, Sister Yue was too heartbroken even to eat or drink, withered away.

Yet back then, a slight glimmer of hope lingered in Long Baobao’s heart.

With Brother Feng gone, did that mean he could replace him in taking care of Sister Yue?

Determined, he decided to cultivate diligently so one day he could personally stand before Sister Ling Yue and protect her.

But when he finally matured, he discovered Sister Ling Yue had already left the Qing Province Continent.

He heard she had joined the Lonely Moon Sea.

So he trained even harder, maturing from a small boy to the Sifang City Lord in just a few years and joined the Jiu Provinces Alliance.

He thought he could finally stand before her with a new identity.

But when they met again, she had Di Shen by her side.

Di Shen was clearly the Demon Ancestor reborn.

Master, your disciple ultimately betrayed your expectations.

Even if it meant death, he wouldn’t raise his sword against him.

Ling Yue, do you know, it’s not just Feng Xun who is willing to die for you.

Long Baobao sighed inwardly, while outwardly still wearing his signature smile.

They continued to chat about the events of the past few years in their lives.

"Ling Yue, what are you planning next? I heard the Huangquan Team is only a Fourth-tier Representative Team. How will you resolve the 200,000 Merit Points issue? If you really have difficulties, I have some Merit Points here for you to use."

Long Baobao truly felt some injustice for Ye Lingyue.

Anyone can see that this time Nian Wu Venerable has clearly teamed up with the Jin Family and Tang Family to target the Huangquan Team.

Long Baobao even suspected the leak about the Senluo Ghost Fruit King was related to Nian Wu Venerable, but unfortunately, he hasn’t found evidence yet.

Speaking, Long Baobao took out a Jiu Provinces Card and handed it to Ye Lingyue.
