I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 64

64: Investigating Tang Xiaowu – A Sure Capture!

In the Heavenly Demon Grand Hall.

“Forget it. Bai Xin’er is now wholeheartedly devoted to me. No matter what happens, I must ensure her safety.”

“That’s what a real man should do!”

Seated on the throne of the grand hall, Lu Yuan’s chaotic thoughts finally settled. Without delay, he turned to official matters.

—

“Young Master, you summoned us?”

Two guards of the demonic sect entered the hall and bowed.

“There’s something I need you to handle for me,” Lu Yuan said, smiling faintly.

“Rest assured, Young Master. We will carry out your orders with utmost diligence!”

The guards responded immediately, their tone respectful. This was the first command Lu Yuan had issued since his return, and many within the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect had been eagerly awaiting his instructions.

“It’s nothing too major—just investigate someone for me.”

“Her name is Tang Xiaowu, Tang Yun’s elder sister.”

“I need detailed information on her.”

“Remember: speed and thoroughness are key.”

Lu Yuan’s voice was calm, but the weight of his words was unmistakable.

After all, this was a task Bai Xin’er had entrusted to him. Naturally, he would see it done flawlessly.

Besides, if this so-called “Profound Yin Body” truly is suited for dual cultivation… securing her as a concubine wouldn’t be a bad outcome.

—

“This…”

The two guards froze, momentarily stunned.

What kind of request was this?

Not an assassination order, but an investigation into Tang Xiaowu—Tang Yun’s sister.

Hadn’t they already killed Tang Yun?

“Hmm?”

Lu Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly. His gaze swept over them, eyes glinting with a cold, warning light.

“W-We’ll retrieve Tang Xiaowu’s information immediately, Young Master! You have our word!”

Snapping back to attention, the guards nodded vigorously before bowing and hurrying out.

Gathering intelligence was child’s play for the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect.

Though slightly disappointed they weren’t sent to kill someone, the guards knew better than to question orders.

When the Young Master commanded, they obeyed—without hesitation.

Now that Lu Yuan had returned, his authority was overwhelming. Even this first command-seemingly just investigating a girl-drew the attention of many elders.

Since she was Tang Yun’s sister… Was the Young Master planning to eliminate the root of the problem?

For the demonic sect, this was good news regardless.

That Lu Yuan had “turned over a new leaf” and abandoned his cultivation to start anew and even accepting Bai Xin’er, was already cause for celebration.

And though only one night had passed, the fact that the two had remained in Lu Yuan’s palace all night spoke volumes about what had transpired.

…

“Young Master, here’s all the information you requested on Tang Xiaowu, detailed as ordered!”

A guard presented a Memory Stone, meticulously recording Tang Xiaowu’s personal details.

“Good work. You may leave.”

Lu Yuan took the stone and waved them off. Only once they were gone did he activate it to review the contents.

A few simple lines of text appeared:

Name: Tang Xiaowu
Age: 27
Relation: Tang Yun’s elder sister
Status: Inner disciple of the Tyrant Blade Holy Land.

“Divine Transformation Realm at such a young age? Impressive talent!”

“It seems she hasn’t awakened the Profound Yin Body yet, or perhaps she doesn’t even know about it herself.”

“Also, the core disciple Hai Jinping hasn’t started pursuing her yet.”

“Now is the best opportunity to make a move!”

Lu Yuan looked at the information above and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Tang Xiaowu’s way of doing things was also very secretive.

She stayed all the time in the Sacred Land of Overbearing Blades, cultivating diligently, never going outside.

Therefore, even the Shadowstone image of the Ten Thousand Bone Demon Sect didn’t have her image.

Inner disciples of any sect are already considered key members.

The sect would provide protection for them.

These seemingly simple pieces of information were not something any force could easily obtain.

“It looks like I have to come up with a plan to capture her.”

“This matter still needs to be discussed with Bai Xin’er.”

Lu Yuan’s mind stirred with doubts.

For him, being able to seize Tang Xiaowu was the most crucial thing.

“It seems you’re even quicker than I imagined, you have already gathered Tang Xiaowu’s information.”

Just then, Bai Xin’er entered the hall wearing a purple dress.

However, her walking posture was somewhat strange.

-A Moment of Intimacy-

Bai Xin’er’s cheeks flushed slightly, but before she could speak further, the guards of the Demon Hall silently withdrew.

They knew better than to disturb the Young Master and the Holy Maiden in such… delicate circumstances.

“Don’t move. You overexerted yourself last night—it’s better if you sit on me instead.”

Lu Yuan, seated on the throne, pulled Bai Xin’er onto his lap.

“Alright, let’s get back to serious matters.”

Bai Xin’er steadied her breathing and spoke calmly:

“Capturing Tang Xiaowu won’t be difficult.”

“In two months, the sacred sects will gather for the opening of the Thunderpeak Mountain Secret Realm. Every major faction will participate.”

A knowing smile curved her lips.

—

A Grudge from the Past

According to Bai Xin’er’s memories, in her past life, Tang Xiaowu had led the Tyrant’s Holy Land disciples in ambushing Lu Yuan within the Thunderpeak Mountain Secret Realm.

At that time, Lu Yuan had been weak, barely surviving a near-fatal ordeal.

He had entered the secret realm seeking fortune…

Only to be blindsided, severely wounded, and nearly killed by Tang Xiaowu.

Thus, a deep-seated vendetta had formed between them.

—

The Thunderpeak Mountain Secret Realm

“Thunderpeak Mountain Secret Realm?!”

Lu Yuan’s mind raced with details about this legendary domain:

– An ancient mystic realm, home to primordial spirit beasts and lost treasures.
– A convergence of rare opportunities, jointly maintained by the great sects.
– Opened once every five years—and now, only two months remain until its next awakening.

When the time came, the younger generation of every faction would swarm inside, hungry for glory.

—

A Hunter’s Revenge

“Just as you said—if they can ambush me, I can ambush them in return.”

“This time, I’ll strike first.”

A bold strategy took shape in Lu Yuan’s mind.

If Tang Xiaowu planned to repeat her treachery in this life…

Then he would be waiting—reversing the roles of hunter and prey.

But then Bai Xin’er interjected sharply:

“You’re overlooking one critical detail.”
