Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 579: Bon Voyage

The Saint Heir?

In Moonwatch City, only one person dares to call himself the Saint Heir.

Su Han followed the voice with his gaze and saw a young man in a purple robe looking at him from a short distance away. The youth’s features were refined and his posture was upright, exuding a natural air of nobility. A faint purple aura enveloped him, making him look like a god descended from heaven—so majestic that one couldn’t resist the urge to bow in worship and submit at his feet.

The Zi Mansion Holy Son!

With a single glance, Su Han recognized the purple-robed youth’s identity. The only person who would dare to call himself the Saint Heir and possessed the Purple Qi Emperor Body was the Zi Mansion Holy Son.

But shouldn’t he be in the Zi Mansion Holy Land? Why is he here?

"Fire Crow Sect Master, it seems you’ve had a fortunate encounter. Not only have you broken through to the Supreme Realm, but you have also mastered a powerful Spiritual Fire. You are quite impressive," the Zi Mansion Holy Son spoke again, his voice filled with praise. He had been attracted by the fluctuations from the battle, but he hadn’t expected Su Han’s strength to be such a pleasant surprise.

"Greetings, Lord Saint Heir!" Su Han cupped his hands in a salute to the Zi Mansion Holy Son.

At that moment, people were continuously arriving from all directions, wanting to see who had the audacity to cause trouble in the Purple Moon Palace and challenge the dignity of the Zi Mansion Holy Land.

"Greetings, Saint Heir!"

Upon seeing the Zi Mansion Holy Son, the crowd was startled and immediately bowed in unison, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Indifferent to their salutations, the Zi Mansion Holy Son gave a slight nod in response. His gaze remained fixed on Su Han as if he had just discovered a priceless treasure.

"Fire Crow Sect Master, this Saint Heir is in need of someone proficient in Fire Techniques. If you are willing to follow me, I shall not hold you accountable for breaking the rules. What do you say?" the Zi Mansion Holy Son announced, startling Su Han.

He couldn’t understand why the Zi Mansion Holy Son would take an interest in him. Was it because of his Supreme Realm strength? But there was surely no shortage of Supreme Realm powerhouses in the Zi Mansion Holy Land, and the Zi Mansion Holy Son himself was at the Supreme Realm Seventh Level. If so, what the Zi Mansion Holy Son must truly value is my Samadhi True Fire. As for whether the Zi Mansion Holy Son intended to use him as cannon fodder or a scapegoat, Su Han didn’t care. Once inside Peach Blossom Paradise, strength would be the only thing that mattered, and he had always been confident in his own power.

Su Han’s mind was sharp, and he had already guessed the truth. However, he didn’t refuse. This was not the time to offend the Zi Mansion Holy Son; otherwise, he would lose even the qualification to enter Peach Blossom Paradise.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Saint Heir. This subordinate is willing to follow you!" Su Han replied promptly, his demeanor so humble that the Zi Mansion Holy Son couldn’t spot any flaws.

"Good. In that case, go and get some rest and prepare!" The Zi Mansion Holy Son nodded in satisfaction and waved for a maidservant to lead Su Han away. Seeing that the Zi Mansion Holy Son had spoken, the others naturally didn’t dare pursue the matter any further.

However, after this incident, the name of the Fire Crow Sect Master left a deep impression on many people.

Perhaps due to a special instruction from the Zi Mansion Holy Son, Su Han’s accommodations were more luxurious than the others. After dismissing the maidservant, Su Han rested alone.

I never expected this unintentional act to lead to such a great success. The provocation from the Bi Yue Sect Master actually earned me the favor of the Zi Mansion Holy Son, instead of being a problem. It seems he needs my Samadhi True Fire for a treasure he wishes to acquire. This is actually a good thing for me. I’m not familiar with Peach Blossom Paradise and don’t know where the Life Spring Water is. Following him might lead me straight to the spring, allowing me to fulfill my wish. The Samadhi True Fire will make my disguise more convincing. My Supreme Realm strength, originally just a means to openly kill the Bi Yue Sect Master, can now be displayed freely. As for my Domain, a combination of Samadhi True Fire and Spatial Force will suffice. My disguise is impeccable.

Su Han weighed the pros and cons, seeing the current situation clearly. For the next two days, he remained in seclusion within the Purple Moon Palace.

「On the third day.」

"Everyone assemble! Prepare to head to Peach Blossom Paradise!" An authoritative voice rang out, summoning the group. Su Han immediately stepped out of his residence and gathered with the other eight people.

Originally, the Zi Mansion Holy Land had allocated ten slots to outsiders. With the Bi Yue Sect Master’s death, there were now nine. Therefore, the Zi Mansion Holy Land’s expedition this time consisted of ninety-one people in total.

WHOOSH!

Above Moonwatch City, dense spatial fluctuations rippled like massive waves, sweeping across the entire sky. Then, under the astonished gazes of countless people, a Purple Jade Battleship one kilometer in size slowly emerged from the void.

This Purple Jade Battleship was forged from the Zi Mansion Holy Land’s unique Purple Qi Spirit Jade. Its hull was engraved with eighteen interconnected Dao Formations, their combined power rivaling a low-grade Holy Formation. Moreover, the battleship was exquisitely designed, shimmering with a dazzling purple light like a magnificent work of art, a true pleasure to behold.

At this moment, the battleship was teeming with figures, each one emitting a powerful aura. Their oppressive might overshadowed the heavens, causing everyone in Moonwatch City to feel a crushing weight, as if an invisible mountain were pressing down on them.

At the bow of the Purple Jade Battleship, two figures were particularly eye-catching.

"The Saint Heir is so handsome!"

"Although this is the Saint Heir’s first time entering Peach Blossom Paradise, I believe he will emerge victorious and obtain a supreme opportunity!"

"Look! This time, the Protector is the Purple Jade Great Saint!"

The crowd boiled with excitement, their fervent gazes fixed on the Zi Mansion Holy Son and the Purple Jade Great Saint at the ship’s bow, full of adoration. The Zi Mansion Holy Son was regarded as the number one prodigy in Ji State, an idol to countless people with innumerable admirers.

Beside the Zi Mansion Holy Son stood an elegant figure bathed in translucent purple light. She was a woman with purple hair, her entire body glowing with a lustrous purple sheen. Her skin was as soft and tender as precious jade, and her purple hair cascaded to her shapely hips, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure.

This was the Purple Jade Great Saint, one of the seven Great Saints of the Zi Mansion Holy Land. She possessed the formidable strength of the Saint Realm Third Layer and an astonishing beauty that drew admiration from all. This time, she would be the one to escort the group to the entrance of Peach Blossom Paradise.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Receiving the signal, Su Han and the others soared into the air and landed on the Purple Jade Battleship.

"Fire Crow Sect Master, come to this Saint Heir’s side!" the Zi Mansion Holy Son beckoned, showing that he held Su Han in particularly high regard.

Su Han did not refuse. Under the envious gazes of the others, he walked to the bow and stood behind the Zi Mansion Holy Son.

The Purple Jade Great Saint glanced at Su Han but was unable to see through his Thousand Changes and Transformations. Noticing nothing amiss, she looked away and paid him no further mind.

After checking the headcount, the Zi Mansion Holy Son addressed the Purple Jade Great Saint, "Aunt Purple Jade, everyone has arrived. Let’s set out!" His form of address revealed a surprising fact: the esteemed Great Saint was his aunt.

"Alright."

The Purple Jade Great Saint nodded. She then activated the eighteen interconnected Dao Formations on the Purple Jade Battleship. A faint aura of Spatial Force immediately enveloped the hull, forming a protective membrane.

WHOOSH!

The next moment, the entire Purple Jade Battleship transformed into a brilliant streak of purple light. It shot across the sky, heading straight for Peach Blossom Paradise.

In Moonwatch City, Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue watched the Purple Jade Battleship depart, wishing Mr. Su a safe and smooth journey in their hearts.
