The Quest for Immortality

Aunt Xue’s face changed immediately.

Saint Heir??!

She looked at the handsome youth, incredulous:

"You... are the Demon Path’s Saint Heir?!"

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi both had serious expressions on their faces.

Only Mo Hua looked confused.

What on earth is a Saint Heir?

Bai Zixi knew he didn’t understand, so she quietly explained:

"The master of the Demon Sect, self-proclaimed Demon Monarch, refers to the ones who are eligible to succeed as the Demon Monarch as Saint Heirs..."

"The Saint Heirs compete against each other, and the final victor will become the next Demon Monarch."

"Most Saint Heirs have extraordinary bloodlines and talents, and they cultivate the most orthodox Demon Sect Cultivation Techniques. Despite their young age, their statuses in the Demon Sect are extremely high."

Mo Hua took another look at the "Saint Heir" in front of him.

He really wasn’t old, probably around twenty or so, and his Cultivation was already very high, at least Foundation Establishment, and possibly even Golden Core.

He was dressed in crimson finery, his skin was pale, and his appearance handsome yet demonic. His pupils were cold and arrogant, with an archaic blood stain between his brows.

In this group, only this youth had a blood stain between his eyebrows.

Could this be the mark of a "Saint Heir"?

As Mo Hua sized up the Saint Heir, the Saint Heir was also looking at him.

Liao Tiande whispered something in his ear, and the Saint Heir smiled faintly, pointing at Mo Hua and said:

"This kid, leave him behind for me!"

Bai Zisheng and the others were somewhat taken aback.

Mo Hua was even more puzzled, why did this effeminate demon single him out, wanting him to stay behind?

Aunt Xue pulled Mo Hua behind her and said firmly:

"We are from the Bai Family..."

"I know you’re from the Bai Family..."

The Saint Heir sneered, "You’re from the Bai Family, and the siblings next to you are from the Bai Family’s core lineage, so I gave you some face."

"You may leave, but that kid..."

The Saint Heir sneered, "He must stay behind!"

Aunt Xue frowned, "You want Mo Hua to stay behind, what for?"

"Nothing much..." The Saint Heir’s eyes, full of ambition, "I want to meet Mr. Zhuang, but I need some leverage in hand, and his little disciple here is just right."

Mo Hua finally understood, they wanted to capture him to use as leverage against his master!

Bai Zisheng understood as well and angrily said, "Demon, don’t you dare!"

The Saint Heir’s face trembled slightly, revealing anger and ferocity in his eyes.

No one had ever dared to insult him to his face as he’d grown up.

He looked at Bai Zisheng with a venomous gaze.

Bai Zisheng met his gaze resolutely and unafraid.

The Saint Heir was somewhat surprised and nodded, "Worthy of being a disciple of the Bai Family, you do have some backbone..."

However, as he said this, he couldn’t hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

The Golden Core Stage Fat Buddha saw this and ingratiatingly said, "Saint Heir, let me kill this brat for you."

The Saint Heir neither agreed nor disagreed, remaining silent.

On the other side, a gaunt Taoist with half his face burnt scathingly said:

"Buddha of Ghosts, if you’re going to suck up, use your brain. The core descendants of the Bai Family have their special Eternal Life Rune. Do you dare to attack them and seek death?"

Fat Buddha’s face trembled with rage, yet shock was evident on his features.

"A special Eternal Life Rune?"

Mo Hua was somewhat bewildered.

What was this rune? He had never heard of it...

The half-faced, burnt Taoist continued to mock the Buddha of Ghosts:

"The special Eternal Life Rune, created by Heaven Void Ancestors and above using their personal true essence, is imprinted within the vital energy of the direct descendants. When they face mortal danger, it activates automatically, killing all external enemies and ensuring the survival of the descendants."

"It’s their ’Death Exemption Token,’ a one-time ’lifesaver’..."

"It’s the additional ’life’ for these noble clan’s direct descendants!"

"Otherwise, why would the clan elders dare to let their extraordinarily talented and exceptional descendants go out and temper themselves?"

The skinny Taoist looked at the Buddha of Ghosts with scorn, "I’ve lived so long and have never seen what this ’special Eternal Life Rune’ looks like. Why don’t you make a move and force these two young cultivators to reveal their runes, so I can also have a glimpse?"

Buddha of Ghosts’s face turned alternatively green and white.

Make a move?

Make your mother’s move?

If it involved the means of the Heaven Void Ancestor, "able to kill all external enemies," wouldn’t my action be courting certain death?

Dammit!

The Buddha of Ghosts seethed internally.

He had joined the path halfway through, had fed on humans to become a demon, and his lineage was not pure, which is why he was utterly ignorant of these high-level Cultivation knowledge.

The special Eternal Life Rune, the Heaven Void Ancestors... these were things he’d never heard of before.

Now he’d made a fool of himself right as he tried to gain attention.

And in front of the Saint Heir...

The enraged Buddha shot the Taoist a venomous look.

The Taoist kept sneering proudly.

Both of them were Golden Core Great Demon Cultivators, and if they hadn’t come together, they would be considered "Ancestors" in their own right, with immense authority; naturally, neither would want to submit to the other.

The eyes of the Saint Heir were cold and detached as his thoughts whirled.

The Taoist was not wrong...

On one hand, he was wary of the Bai Family, so he dared not make a move against the siblings.

The Bai Family was an enormous entity.

These two young cultivators were from the Bai Family’s direct core lineage, and attacking them would provoke the Bai Family directly.

Even though he was a Demon Path Saint Heir, without a huge benefit, he saw no need to make such a formidable enemy.

On the other hand, he did indeed fear the special Eternal Life Rune.

With that rune in place, he couldn’t do anything to the siblings.

Therefore, the only one he could truly target and the only one he could use to gain leverage was the one without any power, background, support, with a bad Spiritual Root, weak Cultivation, without the special Eternal Life Rune to protect him, who also happened to be the direct disciple of Mr. Zhuang — Mo Hua!

The Saint Heir glanced at Bai Zisheng and his companion, "I won’t trouble you..." Then he turned his gaze back to Mo Hua, "But this kid is mine!"
