9 chapter 9 - Nine heavenly pills

They held the position in which people would revere or coward the mere mention of their power but what they face made them doubt their own ability.

What all of them saw was only a flash of where a crippled only swipe his fingers then instantly slice the head of a powerful member of their group.

The clouds above the sky were severed into two halves, this unbelievable display of strength made them purposely sweat. Some wanted to run and inform their clan about the situation yet their pride did not allow it.

"That was it? Pity is this truly the strength of dou zun!? Bring me someone stronger, therefore, I could relish the smell of blood!"

Everyone was offended by his word releasing their killing intent that was felt by the people of the wu tan city but xiao shen quickly place barriers to not locate them.

He didn't want his family to get involved. Xiao shen took a stance at the same time as the so-called supreme expert. The strongest among them was only 6th-star dou zun which made him disappointed but he could enjoy more his bloodbath once he went to the gu realm.

"What are you waiting for!? Come and let me Baptist myself with your blood!"

True to his words it was a genocide not even twenty breath has passed everyone was on the ground with broken bones. None could stand a chance from the immense strength he displayed.

Every dou skill the used was instantly dispelled from his mere swing of his fist. The moon shone revealing his menacing figure that held a man by the neck.

"D-Don't! Gaah!!"

"this is for interrupting my time with my fiancée!"

Xiao shen ripped the person's right arms that spew blood while he let a blood-curling scream that could be heard throughout the wu tan city if not for the barrier.

"Please have mercy!"

From that a crack in space was form and a person came from that radiates power that couldn't be compared to the one xiao shen brutally torture. He allowed the person to pass the barrier and did not kill them as a courtesy for his lover's clan.

"Oh, finally someone slightly stronger! Are you here to die by my hands!?"

"…..No, I merely here to asked forgiveness and request that you let them lived."

"Hmph! Then so be it, take this as my courtesy since you are part of my fiancée's clan but I vow on the heaven that you will not have a second chance!"

All of them buried his face who grinned throughout the massacre. He was no mere human but a demon god that rose from the underworld. None wish to offend him even if the gu clan forces them to.

The fear was forever imprinted within their heart that anyone related to him they would avoid at all cost. This unknowingly cost the xiao clan to have protectors.

"Young lady xun-er I am happy that you are well."

"Thank you, elder."

"But I say that you selected a fine man. I would like to invite to the gu clan if that is alright with you sir xiao shen?"

The elder knew that having him by their side is much better than the ancient tomb. They would surely benefit from his presence.

Xiao shen could see no lies from his words and the person was genuinely kind but troublesomely cunning. Flick the blood from his hands then turn to look at xun-er.

"It is improper to go when it is currently the night but rest assured that I will pay a visit tomorrow."

"Very well then I shall take my leave. Please take good care of our young lady."

"That is something that even if countless epochs came to pass I shall not break."

After giving pills to heal the wounded army they took their leave while giving xiao shen fearful gaze.

"D-Did you know from the beginning, xiao shen ge-ge?"

Voice quivering not because of the bloodbath that she had witnessed but the realization of her secret was known by her new fiancée.

She was afraid that he treat her differently and end up hating,g her. Xiao shen approach then raise her lips to resume their kiss then departed.

"Yes, but it does not change that you are my little xun-er and no one else."

Her heart finally became whole and enjoyed the remaining time. They return to the xiao clan compound where nobody even notices that countless experts had died by the someone who had a young woman clinging to his arms.

The next day xiao shen prepared some treasure to present the gu clan to take xun-er hands in marriage. From his creation are pills that allowed someone to instantly reach dou saints even that person was a dou disciple.

He only made ten pills knowing they would become far too greedy though if they did then only another slaughter would come.

Before leaving he had brought yuki and xun-er within his inner world where it radiates pure and dense primordial chaos god energy. It makes the dou di origin/zenith energy look like a fart.

Xun-er was surprised that something existed but accepted it since it was her fiancée and didn't question why he didn't share with his other clans or with xiao yan cause even she doesn't give anyone close to her powerful treasure.

It's not she'll give xiao yan one causes xun-er wasn't in love with him unlike the original.

Moving on he had created a mansion similar to the immortal mansion of apotheosis where the alchemy hall where it had the most powerful cauldron, Dungeon trial where one could train their strength and finally the library with a countless story, cultivation methods that divided by body, soul, and energy.

They are more but it was the major part of it. Xiao shen was here to give some martial art for them to train. Yuki was given bo staff manual where she would be truly become the monkey queen.

While xun-er picks a sword manual. She didn't rely on too heavily in weapons but xun-er was proficient in the use of blades.

They took few hours inside to explore and trains until xiao shen and xun-er decide to go where the gu clan was.

"Are you ready xun-er?"

"Yes, If they disapprove then I shall abandon the name of gu xun-er and remain as xiao xun-er."

Xiao shen was happy that she was willing to do that just to be with him. He felt blessed to have such a loyal lover, unlike his past life where he was alone even how much he tried.

Existing the inner world, xiao shen held xun-er waist then used void god azathoth to bypass the dimensional barrier around the gu realm. It was laughable that he could easily enter the place.

The gu realm was created by a powerful dou saint that was comparable to the northwest region of the central region.

Xiao shen saw that everyone had the diluted dou di bloodline but couldn't compare to xun-er.

They were far from the populated area of the gu clan and decided to walk toward them letting xun-er tour him.

Many people couldn't recognize xun-er who became far more mature compared to the older canon despite only being thirteen.

They explore a bit until they arrive where powerful dou saint was gathered. Xiao shen couldn't help but grinned seeing two to three people had Ill intent.

The strongest among them is in the bottleneck of 8th star dou saint. The guard saw them and instantly recognize their young lady quickly inform their patriarch which was xun-er father.

It didn't take long for the guards to bring them to the main hall where their elders, grand elder, and patriarch await their arrival.

They gesture for him to sit down while xun-er was about to sit beside him was stopped by one of the elder.

"Xun-er do not sit beside him. Sit here instead."

"Elder I do not wish to be far from my fiancée."

"A fiancée who's a cripple? Have you lost your mind, young mistress!?"

"Hmph!"

She did not listen and sat on xiao shen's lap who only smiled from the show of affection while the people felt the killing intent.

"Enough, Forgive me xiao shen but many disapprove of your relationship with my daughter."

The one who spoke was gu yuan who was middle age who was good-looking despite being one thousand years. He himself approves of her daughter's choices but the elders' persistence is making it hard for him.

"I did not come here to fight nor to argue with an old coot. The reason I present myself is to give the bridal gift for the gu clan."

From the shadow came a butler, xiao shen created Sebastian from Black butler to act as his servant. He wore tailcoat that was foreign to the people around him. Sebastian carry with him were ten pills place on a tray

"For those who are curious, this gift is called the Nine heavenly pill which allows a simple dou disciple into becoming a dou saint in an instant."
