Chapter 1241: Direct Attendant Relays an Order

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In the third devil palace, during these few days, many bottom ranking devil generals came by to pay their respects. However, it was Juyu who received them. These generals didn’t even have the chance to see Qin Wentian’s face.

This made many of them extremely unhappy. But when they thought of the fact that Qin Wentian could take over the third-ranked position, they could only hide their dissatisfaction deep in their hearts.

Killing Zong Yan in a single strike. Qin Wentian’s strength was definitely extraordinary.

Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t care about what these people thought. Respect was won through strength, and wasn’t through flattery on the surface. If it wasn’t for him being powerful enough, things would be like back then during the ranking battles. These generals wouldn’t even be bothered with him.

In the devil palace, Qin Wentian closed his eyes in meditation. At this moment, Juyu came over and said, "There’s another devil general who came by to pay respects."

"Didn’t I already say that it’s the same if you met them for me?" Qin Wentian calmly replied.

"It’s Lu Xuejia." Juyu spoke. Qin Wentian opened his eyes as an expression of interest appeared on his face.

Lu Xuejia actually came by to pay her respects to him?

During the ranking battle, after Lu Xuejia abandoned him, he accepted Juyu’s invitation, becoming her protector. At that time, Lu Xuejia even said that he was the one who betrayed her, exuding killing intent wanting to finish him off.

Right now, this Lu Xuejia actually still dared to come over to meet him?

"Let her enter." Qin Wentian calmly spoke.

"Roger." Juyu stepped out. She came to the repaired stairway and glanced downwards at the devil general Lu Xuejia below. Lu Xuejia was still as beautiful as ever, possessing an extraordinary demeanor.

Juyu couldn’t help but to admit that both of them were females, but Lu Xuejia’s beauty was far above hers.

"Come on up." Juyu spoke. Lu Xuejia frowned, in the past Juyu was merely the last-ranked general, how would she have been so brazen towards her? But now after becoming Qin Wentian’s protector, Juyu actually acted in such a manner.

Lu Xuejia walked up the stairway slowly, coming to the side of Juyu as she transmitted her voice, "You are just a protector, why didn’t you bow when you see me, a devil general?"

Juyu glanced at Lu Xuejia. Today, Lu Xuejia was still clad in simple clothing but that had no way to hide her alluring figure. That in combination with her cold attitude, caused many to not dare to profane her beauty with their eyes.

"Even when I meet my general, I don’t have to bow. Let alone you." Juyu calmly replied, continuing to lead the way.

"Generals are generals and protectors are protectors. Don’t you feel that you’ve elevated your position too much?" Lu Xuejia transmitted her voice as she followed.

"You think too highly of the generals. Are you assuming I should fear and respect all of the generals? I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. Although I’m a protector, I became one willingly. Right now, you are in the third devil palace, and not your own. And he even allows me to peruse all the cultivation arts and innate technique manuals that were hoarded here. What about you, Lu Xuejia?"

Juyu’s domineering reply caused Lu Xuejia to snort coldly. Sharpness gleamed in her eyes, as an unusual light could also be seen within.

Outside the hall, Juyu didn’t enter. As a protector, she would guard the entrance to the throne hall when Qin Wentian meets with other generals.

Lu Xuejia entered alone and saw Qin Wentian who was sitting on the devil throne.

Back in the past when she first saw him, she was the one sitting on a throne, peering down at him, giving him the position as her devil knight.

While right now, their positions were reversed.

"Lu Xuejia pays her respects to the devil general. Congratulations." Lu Xuejia bowed, showing no hints of unwillingness.

The devil generals in the sect could truly bow when and as needed. Lu Xuejia’s state of heart was truly extraordinary.

If she was truly too proud, there was no way that she would come here to pay her respects to Qin Wentian today. Since she was here, it meant that she wanted to neutralize the grudge between them. For a powerful existence that could kill Zong Yan, if Qin Wentian viewed her with enmity, it would be an extremely dangerous thing in the perspective of Lu Xuejia.

"Lu Xuejia." Qin Wentian stood up and walked down from the devil throne. He slowly moved towards Lu Xuejia, staring at her sexy curves openly.

Lu Xuejia calmly stared at Qin Wentian’s eyes, there were no fluctuations within.

"Didn’t you want to dig my eyes out?" Qin Wentian laughed. Back then when he glanced at Lu Xuejia, he was threatened by her.

"Sir general must be joking." Lu Xuejia spoke. "If in the past I showed some disrespect to the third devil general, I still hope that the third general would forgive me. If you need Xuejia to do anything to compensate for my rudeness back then, please just tell me directly."

"Is that so?" Qin Wentian took another step forward, his body pressing closer to Lu Xuejia’s. Stretching out his hand, he wrapped it around her waist, feeling the softness of her skin as a look of enjoyment appeared on his face. Lu Xuejia’s body trembled slightly, there was panic flashing through her eyes but there was also a sharp coldness.

"What if I want you?" Qin Wentian stared into Lu Xuejia’s beautiful eyes as he spoke, his finger lightly brushing across her body, before tipping her chin up.

Lu Xuejia stared at him. Her gaze soon returned to her normal calmness as she spoke emotionlessly, "For us devil cultivators, the body is merely an external layer of flesh. If sir general likes it, Xuejia wouldn’t have any objections."

Qin Wentian let go of Xuejia, when he did that he could clearly sense the tensed body of Lu Xuejia relax a notch. As a female, how could one truly not care about their body?

When the eighth-ranked general Situ coveted her, Lu Xuejia clearly wanted to kill him.

"Give me your best efforts and aid me in one thing. If you are successful, I will forget what happen between us in the past." Qin Wentian turned about, returning to his devil throne. The him now exuded a terrifying majesticness, causing Lu Xuejia to sigh silently in her heart. Initially, Qin Wentian was her protector. Earlier when he showed her that lecherous side of him, as well as now, he who was exuding an imposing majesticness, which then, was the real him?

"Please command me." Lu Xuejia spoke.

"Help me search for some people. After you have found them, do not do anything recklessly and come and report to me immediately." Qin Wentian spoke. After that, he transmitted her the info regarding the participants of the adjudication battle to her.

"Okay." Lu Xuejia nodded.

"You can leave." Qin Wentian waved his hands. Lu Xuejia bid farewell and departed. She drew in a deep breath and she discovered that her clothes were actually wet from perspiration. Clearly, she wasn’t as calm and collected as she appeared to be on the surface.

If Qin Wentian wanted to acquire vengeance for her past actions, her strength wouldn’t be enough to stop him.

When devil cultivators act, they were often uninhibited and extremely tyrannical. As long as Qin Wentian didn’t kill her directly, he could do whatever he wanted to her and those above wouldn’t say anything. Strength was power.

Hence, if Qin Wentian really wanted to do some vile things to her, she could only accept it silently.

Lu Xuejia left. Juyu walked into the devil hall, staring at Qin Wentian as she asked, "You feel reluctant to deal with her because she is a beauty?"

"Is she beautiful?" Qin Wentian smiled. "To me, she poses no threat at all, and she can even be of use to me. Leaving her alive to do things for me, isn’t that even better?"

Juyu knew what Qin Wentian was referring to. She couldn’t help but to feel a little bewildered. As for those people Qin Wentian wanted to find, who were they exactly?

"Reporting to sir general, the direct attendant of the devil king is here, wanting to meet with you." From outside the palace, a voice rang out, causing Qin Wentian’s gaze to flicker. Has his actions startled the devil king?

Although devil lords also had the cultivation bases of devil kings, which were equivalent to immortal kings, the only person who could claim to be the sovereign of this place, was none other than the Blackstone Devil King.

His immortal sense swept by, Qin Wentian saw an expert floating in the air outside the palace. It was none other than the direct attendant, and he seemed to be waiting for himself to go out and meet with him.

This devil king’s attendant seemed to have sensed something. He turned his gaze towards the palace, as his eyes gleamed with sharpness, seemingly able to see through everything. It felt like he could see Qin Wentian staring right at him.

"Are direct attendants considered to have a higher status compared to generals?" Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Juyu.

"The devil king’s attendants are merely his imperial bodyguards, they don’t have any power or authority associated with that status. Who do you think then, ranks higher?" Juyu spoke. "However, many generals hope that they would be able to become an attendant because they wish to get closer to the devil king. Other than a few truly powerful devil generals, everyone would give the attendants face."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Understood." Qin Wentian laughed. He turned his gaze outside and spoke, "Since he wants to meet with me, tell him to come on in."

As the sound of his voice faded, Juyu’s eyes narrowed. The bodies of the guards outside trembled violently, thinking that they might have heard wrongly. They only felt their hearts pounding wildly, the third devil general wanted the attendant to head in personally to meet with him?

"This..."

"This fellow." Juyu stared at Qin Wentian’s eyes which were now gleaming sharply. How tyrannical. She initially wanted to say something but she decided to be quiet and shut her mouth instead. The third-ranked devil general could kill anyone he likes to. If Qin Wentian wanted to do things this way, who was she to say no?

The direct attendant of the devil king was merely a bodyguard. It doesn’t have any authority attached to it. Hence, it’s only natural for the attendant to come in to see him, instead of him going out to receive him.

During the devil ranking battles, a direct attendant of the devil king appeared. Most of the devil generals paid their respects but the first devil general still sat calmly on his war chariot. Why did everyone feel that it was only normal?

The first devil general could have some imposiness, but he Qin Wentian, didn’t have it? Why must he go out to meet with the direct attendant?

"Didn’t you hear what I said?" Qin Wentian coldly spoke. After that, the people outside the palace trembled from fear. They could only turn about and faced the attendant, "Sir, general tells sir attendant to head into the palace to meet with him.

The attendant’s eyes gleamed with coldness. He naturally heard Qin Wentian’s words earlier, there was in fact no need to repeat them.

He stood there as he icily spoke, "The third-ranked devil general Qin Wentian, listen to your orders. The third princess has commanded you to meet with her. Farewell."

As the sound of his voice faded, the attendant flicked his sleeves and departed.

"Third princess?" A look of bewilderment appeared on Qin Wentian’s face.

Juyu also started. After that, she laughed, "Seems like your action of killing Zong Yan and taking over the position of the third-ranked devil general, have already garnered the attention of those major characters within the sect."

Clearly, the princess was the daughter of the Blackstone Devil King!
