Everything happened too quickly. Liu Xiao was still in daze while staring at the empty large round gate, the glowing red ancient letter carvings disappeared along the black shadow and Wu Qingge. He looked around to find the young demon that was with him earlier, but he saw nothing. Wu Qingge must've called him back.

The demon cult and cultivators was surprised by seeing Liu Xiao's sword piercing through Dao Ling's chest while his bare back showed. As soon as Dao Ling coughed another amount of blood for the second time, the demon cult didn't hesitate to group up and attack Liu Xiao all at once.

They thought Liu Xiao was defenseless seeing that he was in daze while staring at the underworld gate. But Liu Xiao instantly withdrew the sword that was pierced on Dao Ling's chest and waved it with a large force at once to the demon cult's direction.

An enormous white pink spiritual qi appeared with a few plum blossom petals dancing all over. It looked so slow while it approached the demon cult's direction but it was actually so fast and full of killing intent.

Suddenly, the large wave of white pink spiritual qi passed through the demonic cultivator, it first felt soft and full of fragrance. But after that, they coughed a mouthful of blood and their bodies fell on the ground, cold and lifeless.

"Wow amazing..."

"The Meihua Swan destroyed the spiritual core of those countless demonic cult in an instant..."

"He truly lives up to his reputation and title."

"Looks like our side will win."

Liu Xiao paid no attention on the whispers of the people around him and was still in daze. The few heavenly demons and generals who survived flee instantly, leaving Dao Ling behind. A few moments later, Liu Xiao get a grip of himself and shook his head.

He glanced on Dao Ling's direction who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed and grabbed the collar of his robe and spoke,

All the cultivators were shocked and readied their swords again, alarmed on Dao Ling and countless glares were directing on his unconscious state. Later on, Dao Ling opened his eyes with a grin on his face and spoke, Liu Xiao was about to answer but decided to keep his mouth shut.

Of course, i know! I have read the second last page of the novel and it was revealed that you were possesing his body when your demon flames escaped through the underworld gate!

Dao Ling laughed hoarsely and spoke again,

Liu Xiao said while gritting his teeth.

Dao Ling looked at him with disbelief and replied,

Liu Xiao was about to pull out his talisman but the owner of the floating palace landed on the ground and stopped him, do you think he will let you interrogate him, Elder? Of course, he won't! He will most likely to-

Dao Ling laughed loudly but his voice was hoarse and weak. Suddenly, a black red flame exited Dao Ling's body and it slowly trembled, letting out a loud cry and it slowly laughed in the end while slowly disappearing.

Liu Xiao sighed and sheathed his swors back to it's scabbard, it made a soft shing sound and he glanced at the large round gate then thought about what the demon king said.

There are many demon cult? I thought there is only one? And there were underworld gates hidden all around the world?! What's the meaning of this?! I thought that after this, the story will end-

Wait... Could it be that... The novel i read was only book one? Is there book two, three or more?!

What the...

Liu Xiao massaged his temples. I can't believe i went around thinking that i ganied the advantage from knowing the novel so i thought i woukd survive but WHAT IS THIS?! THERE ARE MORE?! MY DEATH FLAG THAT WAS ABOUT TO FALL WILL PROBABLY RAISE AGAIN! MY EFFORTS ARE ALL IN VAIN!

︵ヽ('Д')ﾉ︵

Dammit, to think that this war is only a pawn from a chest board. This war is only the first step to calamity! And there will be more!? Should i take and endure everythin?! Or should i run away far from here or bury myself and pretend to be dead? Ugh, my head hurts! (;'༎ຶД༎ຶ')

After this war, the other demon cult would most likely make a move in the future to find the remaining underworld gate and unseal the demon king. But Wu Qingge is inside and most importantly... Their efforts would be in vain!

After Wu Qingge escape the underworld, he would become the next demon king! What if he went back and forgot about me and ki...

After all the thinking, Liu Xiao forgot about one thing that happened earlier. His hands were trembling while he touched his soft lips. His stoic and dazed face suddenly expressed disbelief and his knees became weak, making him loose balance and kneel on the ground.

I..... I was kissed..... By a man.....

(Omg Liu Xiao you were kissed many times!)

I treated him like a brother... Yet he never told me he was actually gay-Wu Qingge became bent!

Liu Xiao was not a dense man. Even though he was never in a relationship in his modern life because he spent his time reading novels, he actually knew about these things because it's usually written in most novels. Romance was a genre that always excite most readers.

His eyes and nose was swollen red as he turned to Mo Xian and others. Mo Xian was hesitant to approach him because he didn't know what to say to comfort him but in the end, seeing Liu Xiao cried for the first time, made his heart melt and ran to approach him and gave him a hug.

Mo Xian said as he patted Liu Xiao's head.

Liu Xiao unconsciously started crying. He didn't know why but seeing that his Master went to hug and comfort him, his worries and problems in the future, also Wu Qingge's disappearance and realizing he was bent made him burst into tears. He whined like a small child while hugging his Master and ended up falling asleep.

Mo Xian sighed at his disciple's pitiful situation and carried Liu Xiao's sleeping body in his arms. He felt like he saw his own son went into trauma, it made him sad seeing the dignified and strong Liu Xiao like this. Bai Lan, Shan Ling and Chen Yi was speechless by seeing Liu Xiao, a tall man being carried by his Master while Tian Lang just sighed and fanned himself.

Chen Yi bitterly said but there was a faint despair in her face seeing that Wu Qingge was gone.

After the war, all the peak masters focused on rebuilding the mortal ream and providing them their needs that was sponsored by the owner of the floating palace and after that, all the peak masters was able to celebrate and wrote another unforgettable history in the history book.

They visited the Mount Hua Peak and gave Mo Xian condolences on Wu Qingge's disappearance but it's obvious that they were not sympathetic at all. They were just half thankful and furious of the Mount Hua Peak for saving their peaks and stealing all the credits in the history.

On the other hand, Liu Xiao stayed in the Mount Hua Peak because he had no reason to travel in the world anymore now that Wu Qingge was gone. Everyday and night, his usual routine was meaningless and every move he made was lifeless. Most of the Mount Hua Peak disicples were sympathizing him and didn't dare to ask him question related to Wu Qingge seeing that it made him traumatized.

Liu Xiao was getting ready for the banquet the Mount Hua Peak hosted because of Mo Xian's meridians were finally healed using the black lotus essence. After Mo Xian successfully absorbed to black lotus essence dry, his cultivation instantly increased but his spiritual qi was not influenced by the black lotus essence's spiritual qi. Even if the black lotus qi is a demonic qi, the way you absorb it was based on your intent.

If you absorbed it with a malicious intent, the demonic qi will fully influence you and take advantage of your greedy goals and it will make you mad like what happened to the Former Mount Hua Peak Master. Mo Xian's only desire was to be fully healed. He did not carry any malicious intent in his mind and focused on letting his meridians healed. He was a trully soft and kind man.

Liu Xiao fixed the belt of his light blue elegant robe and sighed heavily before entering the Mount Hau Peak great hall. The hall was full of renowned oeak masters including Su Luxia, Zhan Baiwon, Tian Lang and many more that congratulated Mo Xian on his recovery. Even though therw is only few peak masters who attended, their influence was vast and their intentions were pure.

Su Luxia and Zhan Baiwon became acquaintances after the war and Chen Yi and Shan Ling became.... I don't know their relationship is conplicated to explain. They often fight and Shan Ling was too clingy in Chen Yi but Chen Yi endured it often and never resorted to violence and just let Shan Ling tail around her.

Liu Xiao sat beside Bai Lan unnoticed and sipped the tea on his table and started munching the small biscuits. He glanced at Bai Lan and Lan Yang who were glaring at each other with their eyebrows raised then glanced at Chen Yi on the other side of the table frowning while listening Shan Ling's nonesense stories. Liu Xiao shrugged and sighed. What happened when i was staying lowkey for a while?

Chen Yi noticed him beside Bai Lan munching biscuits and pushed Shan Ling's face and spoke, her shout echoed throughout the hall while approaching Liu Xiao, the whole attention of the masters and disciples were shifted to him.

Mo Xian, who was happily talking to the peak masters glanced at him and excused himself in the midst of the crowd to greet Liu Xiao. Mo Xian asked with his usual gentle and soft smile.

Huh? I'm always fine. What does he mean by that? Liu Xiao paused for a bit before hesitantly answering,

Chen Yi sighed and spoke,

Liu Xiao frowned.

Chen Yi answered.

A...widower...
