As Cheng Xiaofan gazed at the demon cultivators before him, he couldn't help but marvel. No wonder he always felt such a strong demonic aura whenever he came to the Star Lord's Palace.
It turned out all the demonic energy came from these demon cultivators!
He immediately raised his voice and shouted at them, "I know you are all loyal to Chen Xi, but today, with me, Cheng Xiaofan, around, she will never see the sun again!"
"I can see that you came prepared to rescue Chen Xi!"
"Come on, stop gawking there and charge at me together!"
"Wuwu—"
The demon cultivators let out earth-shattering roars and lunged at Cheng Xiaofan.
*Whoosh!*
Cheng Xiaofan slowly took out the Demonic Bone Saber from his spatial storage.
The saber was drawn!
He pushed the saber forward with both hands.
The demon cultivators, more than ten meters away, had their heads roll to the ground in neat rows.
In the blink of an eye, all three thousand-plus of them had fallen.
Slaughtering demon cultivators!
The Demonic Bone Saber was perfect for this!
Cheng Xiaofan turned back to face Chen Xi and asked, "How do you feel?"
"You are very powerful, even more so than I imagined!"
Chen Xi knelt on the ground again, "I lost, and I lost completely!"
"However, losing to my own husband is not so bad!"
"Seeing you so strong, honestly, I'm very happy!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly drew a gleaming saber from her sleeve.
She abruptly slashed it across her neck.
At that moment!
The scene before everyone's eyes was: Chen Xi knelt stiffly on the ground, holding a blood-dripping short saber in her left hand and her own head in her right.
Though her eyes were closed.
Two lines of crystal tears rolled down from the corners.
Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned.
How did she do that to herself?
Was this the most ruthless woman in the world?
"Alas—"
Cheng Xiaofan sighed and shook his head.
Thinking of their intimate moments the previous night, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.
At that time, he had already decided her fate.
Unfortunately, lost in the madness of pleasure, she hadn't noticed anything.
He instructed the female guards, "You will be responsible for collecting Chen Xi's body. Choose a place and give her a proper burial!"
After all, she had genuinely loved him.
Moreover, she had given him her first time last night.
He truly couldn't bear to abandon her to the wilderness to be devoured by wolves.
"Yes, Star Lord!"
The female guards responded, and immediately brought a large piece of white cloth to wrap Chen Xi's body before carrying it away.
By then, the sky had begun to brighten.
Returning to the Big Dipper Palace.
Cheng Xiaofan dialed Luo Shu's number.
"Ah, Mr. Cheng, how is the situation on your end?" Luo Shu asked eagerly upon seeing Cheng Xiaofan's call.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Old Luo, everything is going smoothly!"
"I know that beside you, there is a group of hidden generals, all loyalists of the former Star Lord Cheng Xiaofan. Gather them and have them temporarily take over the Star Lord's Palace!"
Luo Shu was immediately excited and asked, "Mr. Cheng, was the Star Lord rescued?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "When you arrive, you will see the Star Lord!"
"Oh, and bring Gan Xiao Tang and Yue Jia along when you come!"
Luo Shu happily exclaimed, "I understand!"
After hanging up.
Cheng Xiaofan led Xing Xi to the sleeping quarters, took out a bottle of energy water from his spatial storage, and handed it to her. "Xing Xi, drink this water and lie down to rest."
After all, Xing Xi had been imprisoned in the underground secret chamber for over ten years, and her body was still a bit weak.
Xing Xi immediately shook her head and smiled, "Star Lord, I've already slept for over ten years. If I sleep any longer, more than half my life will have passed!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Not long after.
The sound of aircraft could be heard from the sky.
Cheng Xiaofan, hand in hand with Xing Xi, walked out of the Big Dipper Palace.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
More than ten aircraft landed on a plaza to the left of the Star Lord's Palace.
Luo Shu, surrounded by a group of fully armed soldiers, was heading towards them.
Following closely behind Luo Shu were Gan Xiao Tang and Yue Jia.
"Long live the Star Lord!"
Luo Shu and the others spotted Cheng Xiaofan from afar, knelt down, and crawled forward.
Cheng Xiaofan hurried forward, pulled Luo Shu up, and shouted to everyone, "There's no need for such grand gestures, please rise quickly!"
"Ah, why are there so many corpses here?" At this moment, someone pointed at the demon cultivators lying scattered on the ground and exclaimed to Luo Shu.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Those are Chen Xi's demon cultivators, I took care of them!"
Luo Shu was astonished and said, "Star Lord, I never imagined you would be so powerful, defeating so many demon cultivators by yourself!"
Cheng Xiaofan replied with a smile, "It was just a small effort!"
A small effort?
In Luo Shu's memory, the Star Lord was extremely weak. How had he suddenly become so incredibly powerful?
Luo Shu immediately recalled what Cheng Xiaofan had told him the night before when they parted ways, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
Could it be that the legendary Star Lord had merged with Cheng Xiaofan from beyond the universe?
"Prime Minister Luo, how should these corpses be dealt with?" At this time, someone asked Luo Shu for instructions.
Luo Shu waved his hand and said loudly, "Transport all of them out of the Star Lord's Palace and burn them with fierce flames, leaving no remains!"
The soldiers, upon receiving Luo Shu's command, immediately got busy.
Cheng Xiaofan said to Luo Shu, "Old Luo, let's go inside the Big Dipper Palace and sit down!"
Luo Shu happily agreed, "Yes, your humble servant will obey all the Star Lord's commands!"
Upon entering the Big Dipper Palace.
Cheng Xiaofan instructed the female guards, "Please prepare lunch in the kitchen, I will be entertaining some friends here!"
"Yes!" Some female guards immediately went to the kitchen.
Two female guards remained to prepare tea and pastries for Luo Shu, Gan Xiao Tang, and the others.
"Xiao Tang, why are you just sitting there? Have some pastries!" Cheng Xiaofan said, seeing Gan Xiao Tang looking restless and offering her a pastry.
Gan Xiao Tang stared at Cheng Xiaofan with a shocked expression, "Star Lord, how do you know my name?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Don't be ridiculous, how could I not know your name!"
"Have you forgotten? The first time I ate at Old Luo's place, I came back late, and you closed the inn's door, forcing me to jump through the window!"
"Ah, you, you, you..." Gan Xiao Tang's mind went blank.
Who exactly was this Star Lord before her?
Why was he impersonating her husband?
No!
How could the Star Lord know about that incident?
Seeing her bewildered look, Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter and said, "Xiao Tang, my real name is Cheng Xiaofan, which is also the Star Lord!"
"I didn't die, I just changed my appearance and appeared before you!"
"Right now, I've merely reverted to my original appearance!"
As for the specific details of what happened, he couldn't explain them to her clearly at the moment.
Even if he explained, she might not understand.
"Greetings, Star Lord!" After hearing Cheng Xiaofan's explanation, she finally understood what was going on and quickly knelt on the ground.
Cheng Xiaofan pulled her up and said, "Xiao Tang, you are my woman, don't be so formal, get up quickly!"
