The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 1300 (First Ending), Uncrowned Sovereign

Proofreader: Papatonks

Father!

Elder brother!

The Luo clans leadership gathered in the main hall of their city and discussed. The sudden shouts had them looking towards the doors, now burst open by Gu Santong, Qiaoer and Ye Lin.

Their auras clearly placed them at the Saint Stage.

Ouyang Changqing lit up, Ye Lin, youve been enjoying yourself with the dragons by the looks of it. I ought to take a trip to the Dragonizing Pool as well

Get back!

Ye Lin  pushed him away, rushing to Luo Yunhai, Clan Head, where is my elder brother? Why do all the dragons say that hes dead?

Luo Yunhai sighed and patted his shoulder, Big brother Zhuo has a glimmer of hope but Shuanger and miss Yuyu

They

They passed on to save dad!

Sword Child stepped up with a grave look, They leaned on a Sovereigns path for a power boost and wrested dads weak soul from the Heavenly Sovereign. They, however, couldnt withstand a Sovereign paths power and crumbled, soul and all.

Ye Lin shook and sighed.

Qiaoer cried, recalling the good times she had with Bali Yuyu.

The closest to her were Baili Jingtian and Baili Yulei. The three had gone with Zhuo Fan to the Sacred Domain once their clan fell, but now one of them was no more.

Bali Yulei saw her as his little sister, while Baili Jingtian felt the pain of losing his relative.

They had no hatred among the sadness, for this was Bali Yuyus choice.

Thunder Sword King, our revenge for Zhuo Fan is no longer important.

Baili Jingtian said, Frigid Rain Sword King is gone and I feel a piece of me missing. We need to live in the moment and have no regrets.

Baili Yulei nodded heavily.

I dont know if Zhuo Fans Sovereign path had something to do with it when he entered the Emperor Stage, but my eyes have opened up. I had spent a century obsessed with killing him, but forgetting all the people around me, my father, you. My hatred didnt change even as the empire fell. Now that Frigid Rain Sword King is gone, I have come to see that while hatred blinded me those hundred years, I failed to realize how many things I lost. Thunder Sword King, lets go home. I want to live my life in peace along with my father.

His Majesty is at Drifting Flowers City. Baili Yulei said, We will find him there.

Baili Jingtian started, How do you know?

Zhuo Fan told me.

Baili Yulei muttered, He knew your desire, but since you helped him, he looked after your family regardless of your intentions. His Majesty hasnt become a prisoner, but is living safely in Tianyu. It was there where Zhuo Fan lived his quietest moments. He hoped that the past emperor would find peace as well.

Baili Jingtian felt ashamed, He did all this while I almost left father to be forgotten

Thats why Zhuo Fan thinks of everything. He has his own path that brings people together, which makes up his power.

Baili Yulei smiled, Lets wait for Steward Zhuos return. Well help him in this fight and then go see His Majesty. What do you say?

Baili Jingtian closed his eyes and nodded through tears

Get lost!

Ye Lin was furious as he stormed outside, Whos shouting in the Luo clan?

I am, what of it?

A middle-aged man in golden robes stood tall and majestic alongside two others.

Gu Santong and Qiaoer knew them on the spot. Ye Lin was human and didnt know of dragon ancestors human form, cursing instead, You got some nerve! Who are you to run wild in the Luo clan?

Oh, you got to spread your wings, brat, and now youre teaching me? Dragon ancestor started, smiling at his disciple.

Gu Santong and Qiaoer pulled Ye Lin back.

[Are you mental? To dare to go after the three monsters?]

Kunpeng didnt care, looking around. The most pressing matter was to find Zhuo Fan.

The Dragon Saints came as well and immediately kneeled, Ancestor, youre alright! We couldnt be more gratified to find you once more with us!

Y-youre master? Ye Lin cried out.

Dragon ancestor glared, Brat, Ill deal with you later. Wheres Zhuo Fan? Come out already! You cant be dead!

Ancestor, a few days ago, the Dragon Sovereign was butchered by eight people. You have to set this right and get revenge for him!

The old dragons lamented.

Dragon ancestor waved their whining away, Since hes dead, thats that. Just go pick other dragons with some talent. Zhuo Fan is more important right now? Is he dead or not?

Ugh!

The dragon Saints were stumped. They rushed here the minute they heard their ancestor was back, hoping to get support.

Only the ancestor cared not for them, wanting to know more about some humans life instead.

[Zhuo Fan must be Ancestors aide for sure.]

So they changed tactics, Ancestor, taking revenge for the Dragon Sovereign or Steward Zhuo is the same, because the same man killed them both.

Hes really dead?

Dragon ancestor turned to Kunpeng, What now? The kid is dead and the sky will fall.

Kunpeng shouted, Listen well, the fate of the world rests on Zhuo Fan. Tell me exactly if he is dead or not! Did you see it happen?

Seniors, this is what happened

Sword Child came forward and retold the events.

The three seniors eased up, I see, thats why theres a glimmer of hope. How fortunate.

Old man, hes but a ruined soul now, with his strength robbed. It cant get worse than this. What hope are you talking about?

Dragon ancestor asked, You alright there? What can a cripple do?

Cripple? Humph, youd never say that if you knew who he is.

Him?

Dragon ancestor raised an eyebrow, Isnt he a pawn in your schemes? Or is he some Sovereigns reincarnation?

Kunpeng said, Pretty much. Old dragon, remember the Uncrowned Sovereign?

Him?

Dragon ancestor gasped, The Heavenly Sovereigns younger brother, the one who with the Heavenly Sovereign was called Heavenly Daos Exalted? Thats Zhuo Fan? Why is he on the demonic path?

Isnt the goal of all Sovereigns the Supreme Stage? Kunpengs eyes shone.

Heaven Sealing Sea Ao and dragon ancestor thought

[The union of ten paths, the Supreme Stage.]

Was such a legend true?

Uh, senior, could you

The trio chatted back and forth, when Luo Yunhai finally came forward with a smile and a bow.

Kunpeng said, Were three sacred beasts, Vaulting Kunpeng, Decimating Dragon Ancestor and Heaven Sealing Sea Ao. We guided Zhuo Fan once and came to see what happened to him.

Sacred beasts? The same ones that can fight Sovereigns? Luo Yunhai and everyone cheered, With sirs, we can beat the two enemies!

Kunpengs face twitched, Win? One of them is the Heavenly Sovereign, who fought all the others by himself. Us three are nothing. Stop dreaming! Our only hope rests with Zhuo Fan.

But Zhuo Fan is only a broken soul, how can he Dragon ancestor shook his head.

Kunpeng sneered, Didnt Sovereign Yun take the same ruined soul with his star path? By my reckoning, he must be at the Heavenly Rebirth Lake. There he will regain everything, including the ancient power closest to the Heavenly Sovereign
