Chapter 608

King Meets King! [王见王! Wáng Jiàn Wáng!] is the six hundred and eighth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
After biting off flesh from Ximen Lan's shoulder and eating it, Xi Sha reads his memories and realizes he truly wants to be together with her. Xi Sha asks the Gravekeeper why he cares so much about being in a one-to-one relationship. Instead of answering her question, Ximen Lan urges her to escape with her last bit of strength, revealing that he actually does not want her to die and only said he came to collect her corpse in a moment of anger. However, Xi Sha laments that she has nowhere to run since she would lose all her respect as a demon lord for fleeing a fight. However, Ximen Lan insists that it is better to live than die and stands between Xi Sha and King Chujiang, much to the latter's annoyance. The demon king orders Ximen Lan to move aside or suffer as he raises his right fist. At the same time, Xi Sha also commands him to do the same, asserting that she doesn't need his pity. Ximen Lan refuses both orders and is caught in the crossfire between Xi Sha and King Chujiang's energy attacks, which results in a tremendous explosion upon clashing. King Chujiang's attack manages to mortally wound Xi Sha due to his tripled power.

As the dust settles, Xi Sha lays on the ground defeated while Ximen Lan's corpse rests nearby. The male Bloodstain member condemns King Chujiang for killing their ally. The demon king questions why the Gravekeeper was allowed into the organization and remain neutral despite being so temperamental while the female member assures the male member that Gravekeepers can revive themselves.

As Ximen Lan's corpse teleports to the human world in a flash of light, King Chujiang prepares to kill Xi Sha. However, the demon lord uses Evil Flame Recreation and escapes in a ball of fire. The male member urges the demon king to pursue her, but the latter states that they have no need to. He explains that his attack earlier directly damaged Xi Sha's soul, and her soul will soon be completely corroded, which would irrecoverably destroy her body. He then gloats about reclaiming the Underworld for himself.

While escaping, Xi Sha begins to recreate her body while narrating that she did not flee in fear of death, but because she found a clue regarding the leader of Bloodstain. She reveals that when she bit Ximen Lan, she learned the spell password for meeting the leader, who used an encrypted spatial magic spell to hide her location from Xi Sha. Arriving at the entrance portal for the spell, Xi Sha enters a series of portals within it corresponding to the password "223698", allowing her to teleport to the location of the leader of Bloodstain, who is inside a stone building.
