The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: On the Verge of Demonization

AWOO!

Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul swallowed Ma Fei’s Divine Soul in a single gulp!

The stomach of Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul bulged out, looking like it was ten months pregnant.

A tube made of black qi connected Ma Fei’s Divine Soul to Cheng Yuan’s.

Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul suddenly produced a strange substance, which was quickly transported through the black tube to Ma Fei’s Divine Soul.

Under the effect of this substance, Ma Fei seemed to be anesthetized, as if he had been hypnotized!

At this moment, Ma Fei’s Divine Soul was like a newborn baby in its mother’s womb, feeling an intimate closeness to Cheng Yuan. It voluntarily opened its mind’s memories to him.

Cheng Yuan eagerly began to search Ma Fei’s memories!

Soon, Cheng Yuan found useful information.

’So after I arrive at the Celestial Witch Sect, the current Sect Leader has to unconditionally abdicate his position! And they have to pour all the sect’s resources into training me!’

’If I were the Sect Leader, I’d probably be pretty pissed off too, right?’

As for the Celestial Slayer Spirit Liquid, Cheng Yuan didn’t need it at all. His constitution was already absurdly strong; the Celestial Slayer Spirit Liquid would have no effect on him.

Confirming that this matter had nothing to do with Xuanyuan Potian, Cheng Yuan’s expression softened slightly.

’Xuanyuan Potian is, after all, a War God of the Battle Department with a distinguished combat record. Killing him would have a very negative impact, and it would be hard to explain things to the Old Dragon King.’

’Since I have the information, I should just spit Ma Fei out!’

’After all, devouring a living soul creates immense Karmic Obstacles, which will cause great trouble when I try to attain the Dao in the future!’

Cheng Yuan didn’t want to be entangled in such unnecessary karma!

Just as Cheng Yuan opened his mouth to spit him out, a very sinister voice suddenly emerged in his mind.

’What a nourishing Divine Soul! Absorbing it will allow my own Divine Soul to advance! The power of my Double Pupil will also increase dramatically! Besides, I have a lot of Merit on me right now; it can balance out some Karmic Obstacles! Just once! I’ll just absorb it this one time!’

Cheng Yuan hesitated.

’That’s right, with so much Merit on me, what’s a tiny bit of Karmic Obstacles to me?’

At Cheng Yuan’s thought, the black cord connecting his and Ma Fei’s Divine Souls suddenly began to squirm. It frantically began to suck the nutrients from Ma Fei’s Divine Soul, transporting them toward Cheng Yuan’s like an umbilical cord!

When the black cord wasn’t absorbing his energy, Ma Fei’s Divine Soul had regarded Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul as its dearest kin.

Faced with life and death, Ma Fei’s Divine Soul broke free from the mental control Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul had over it.

”Demon! You’re a Demon!!”

Ma Fei’s Divine Soul roared madly, desperately trying to pull back the nutrients from inside the black cord!

But the gap in power between him and Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul was too great. Even with all his might, he was unable to stop the nutrients from getting closer and closer to Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul!

Fortunately, Ma Fei’s clamor did have a tiny bit of an effect; it woke Cheng Yuan from his frenzied state!

Seeing the nourishment from Ma Fei’s Divine Soul about to reach his own, Cheng Yuan suddenly shuddered!

’What’s going on?’

’What am I doing?’

’If I devour Ma Fei’s Divine Soul, what’s the difference between me and the Evil Cultivators reviled by everyone in the Ancient Martial Realm?’

At the critical moment, Cheng Yuan remembered the Old Dragon King’s words.

’Power itself is not wrong. What’s crucial is whether the person who wields it can resist the corrosion of evil!’

Cheng Yuan let out a furious roar!

”I’ll be damned if I’m going to become a demon! Break!!”

SNAP!

Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul ripped apart the black cord linking him to Ma Fei’s Divine Soul!

Cheng Yuan’s Divine Soul swiftly withdrew from Ma Fei’s Sea of Consciousness!

After his consciousness returned, beads of cold sweat appeared on Cheng Yuan’s forehead. His face was filled with lingering fear as he gasped for breath.

’That was way too close!’

’Something like this is like cheating—it’s either never, or it’s countless times!’

’I was just a hair’s breadth away from completely falling to the demonic path!’

Cheng Yuan secretly resolved that until his will was strong enough, he must never again use such evil Witchcraft!

Ma Fei slowly opened his eyes and stared at Cheng Yuan with a look of utter terror. ’Is this the power possessed by the master’s blood descendant?’

’It’s just too terrifying!’

’In front of the Young Master, I have absolutely no ability to resist!’

’How ridiculous! The Sect Leader is utterly ridiculous!’

’To think he’d dare try to steal what belongs to the Young Master!’

’The skies over the Celestial Witch Sect are about to change!’

”Thank you, Young Master, for not annihilating my Divine Soul, for giving this subordinate a chance to enter reincarnation! Young Master, you must be careful of the... the succession...”

Halfway through his sentence, Ma Fei’s head lolled to the side, and he stopped breathing.

”Ma Fei, what were you trying to say? Be careful of what succession?”

Cheng Yuan frantically applied acupuncture needles, but alas, even with his heaven-defying medical skills, he couldn’t save someone who was already completely dead.

Cheng Yuan took out his phone and dialed Xuanyuan Potian’s number. The call connected quickly. ”Young Master, have you arrived at the Celestial Witch Sect? Is there anything you need me to do?”

”I haven’t reached the Celestial Witch Sect headquarters yet. I’d like to understand the power distribution among the sect’s upper echelon.”

”Including this subordinate, the Celestial Witch Sect has a total of six Martial Emperors. The strongest is High Priest Wutubo, who is at the Martial Emperor Peak. Next is Sect Leader Wu Qinghe, at the Martial Emperor Late Stage. The others are all at the Martial Emperor Early Stage. However, it’s been six years since this subordinate has returned to the Celestial Witch Sect, so their strength may have improved!”

Cheng Yuan continued to ask, ”I also want to know, is it dangerous to enter the Secret Inheritance Holy Land?”

”This subordinate has entered the Secret Inheritance Holy Land twice and never encountered any danger, because a Trial Taker can choose to teleport out at any time.”

”Last question. Can a Celestial Dao Blood Oath be broken? If one breaks it, what kind of punishment will they suffer?”

Xuanyuan Potian’s tone became extremely serious. ”The Celestial Dao Blood Oath is the most sacred of vows, made under the supervision of the Celestial Dao itself! Once broken, one will suffer the Celestial Dao’s most severe punishment! To date, I have never heard of anyone surviving after breaking a Celestial Dao Blood Oath.”

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan felt relieved.

’Since the Celestial Dao Blood Oath cannot be broken, as long as I can get into the Celestial Witch Sect’s base, Wu Qinghe must obey me unconditionally!’

Cheng Yuan wasn’t interested in the position of Celestial Witch Sect Leader, but he was very interested in the inheritance his grandmother had left in the sect.

Cheng Yuan hung up the phone, got into the battered off-road vehicle, and, following the route he’d acquired from Ma Fei’s memories, headed straight for the Celestial Witch Sect’s headquarters!

According to Ma Fei’s memories, it would take about two hours to reach the Celestial Witch Sect headquarters from here.

VROOM! VROOM!

The off-roader sped along. Cheng Yuan hadn’t noticed that the earlier collision had created a small crack in the gas tank.

As the vehicle went faster and faster, the crack in the gas tank grew larger. Drip by drip, black gasoline spilled onto the road, forming a long, thin line.

The needle on the fuel gauge dropped at a visible rate, hitting empty in just two minutes.

The off-roader suddenly lost power, coasting for a distance before coming to a stop!

Cheng Yuan wasn’t very good at reading the dashboard. He looked completely baffled. ’What’s going on?’

Cheng Yuan tried to start the car, but it wouldn’t turn over no matter what he did.

Cheng Yuan’s nose suddenly twitched. He smelled a strong scent of gasoline.

Cheng Yuan got out of the car to take a look and saw the long line of oil. He instantly understood what had happened!

’The gas tank is busted!’

’The car’s out of gas!’

Cheng Yuan wasn’t panicking in the slightest. He could ask Dragon Flame for backup.

Cheng Yuan took out his phone and dialed the Dragon Lord’s number.

BEEP... BEEP...

After ringing twice, the phone screen suddenly went black!

Cheng Yuan was dumbfounded. So much had happened in the past few days that he’d forgotten to charge his phone! The battery was dead!

’Could my luck get any worse?’
