Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

Bi Cangyan joined in without saying a word, only Hu Xiu retreated far away.

The three of them knew that he had finally regained his human form and didn't have much cultivation left, so they didn't blame him anymore.

Seeing that they had no intention of blaming him, Hu Xiu followed Lan Moqiu.

The turmoil in the demon world finally came to an end at this time, as if an invisible hand had pressed the pause button.

However, the turmoil in the demon world stopped, but a huge turmoil like a raging storm quietly broke out in the human world.

However, what was unexpected was that the source of this unprecedented unrest was actually caused by the Chonghai Sect, which had been unknown before.

Thinking back to the beginning, Bai Ji let Chu Yan go out of consideration for the disciples of Chonghai Sect, but this allowed Chu Yan to practice the spirit controlling technique even more unscrupulously.

As soon as Bai Ji left, Chu Yan completely let himself go like a wild horse.

At first, he was still somewhat fearful and deliberately avoided those powerful and famous immortal sects, and instead turned his attention to those small sects that were not noticed by people.

With the continuous improvement of his spirit-controlling skills, the forces he gathered became more and more powerful.

As time went by, Chu Yan's strength grew day by day, and his self-confidence also grew. In the end, he was no longer satisfied with only attacking those small sects, and instead set his greedy eyes on those prestigious immortal sects.

The first to suffer retaliation was the Haiyi Pavilion, because of the previous conflicts between the Chonghai Sect and the Haiyi Pavilion, Chu Yan just made a big move and directed his attack at the Haiyi Pavilion.

The people of Haiyi Pavilion did not expect that Chonghai Sect would launch a sneak attack. Except for Li Xianyun and Yun Fan who went out and escaped the disaster, the rest of the people were all controlled by Chu Yan.

Haiyi Pavilion certainly didn't expect Chonghai Sect to do this. After all, Chonghai Sect had been keeping a low profile for more than a decade. It was only in recent years that a few arrogant female disciples started to stir up trouble.

After Haiyi Pavilion was controlled by Chonghai Sect using spirit-controlling magic, Li Xianyun, as a lucky fish that escaped the net, immediately thought of asking for help from Yunji Villa in Xinyue Kingdom, which was closest to the Black Sea.

Sa Hurricane was skeptical about Li Xianyun's description, and Zhou Ze beside him also had a frightened expression.

Ever since the incident with Sa Yulong, the head of Yunji Villa, Sa Hurricane, has become increasingly haggard and no longer as high-spirited as before. All matters both inside and outside the villa are handled by Zhou Ze, who is assisted by the three elders.

"Brother Sa, you are the most fair and strict. Please help Xianyun rescue all the disciples. Xianyun kowtows to you." Seeing that Sa Hurricane fell into deep thought and did not say whether he would agree or not, Li Xianyun was so excited that she knelt down and begged.

Sa Hurricane came to his senses upon seeing this and signaled Zhou Ze to help Li Xianyun.

Zhou Ze could only help Li Xianyun up before Sa Hurricane and said, "Uncle Li, you should get up first! Master will definitely help you."

Li Xianyun let out a long sigh. Although the five major sects of Xianmen would gather together to discuss matters, the other three major sects were far away. Not to mention the long journey, even if she could get there, they might not help her.

Compared to seeking help from those distant and distant sects, she prefers Yunji Villa, which has a deep friendship with Haiyi Pavilion.

Sa Hurricane pulled himself together and began to make arrangements: "Aze, go and quickly gather the three elders and all the disciples. In addition, you must immediately release the spirit bird to pass the message to each sect, and make sure they gather at Yunji Villa within three days!"

After hearing the order, Zhou Ze bowed and agreed, then turned and left, hurriedly carrying out his mission.

At this time, Li Xianyun showed a trace of fatigue on her face, and said guiltily: "Brother Sa, I'm really sorry, if I didn't really have no way out, I would never come to bother you at this time. After all, you must have been exhausted because of the matter of your nephew Yulong and the escape of the monsters from the Demon Locking Tower." After that, she sighed deeply.

Sa Hurricane waved his hand carelessly and comforted Li Xianyun, "Junior Sister Li, please don't say that. The Chonghai Sect has committed many evil deeds and openly disrupted the order of the entire immortal sect. Their evil deeds are notorious and cannot be tolerated by heaven! Even if I don't deal with them, they will deal with my Yunji Villa sooner or later. This time I have summoned all the immortal sects to deal with this matter together, not only for Haiyi Pavilion, but also to defend the righteousness of our immortal sect and protect the people of the world!"

"I'm really worried that as time goes on, all of our disciples will be controlled forever by Chu Yan." Li Xianyun had to tell Sa Hurricane about her concerns.

"I don't know what kind of magic that scum is practicing. For now, you and I can't act rashly. We can only wait for other sects to arrive before discussing it." Sa Hurricane also knew that they must not act hastily in such a situation.

"I also know that Chu Yan's magic power has made great progress now. Even our Pavilion Master and several elders have been controlled. We can only wait for everyone to gather together to discuss and make a decision to defeat this demon." Li Xianyun said this not only to Sa Hunny, but also to comfort herself.

"Junior Sister Li, you should have a good rest for the next two days and don't think too much." Sa Hurricane said, and then said to Buduo who was standing beside him: "Buduo, take your Uncle Li and this young friend to the guest room to settle down, and we can discuss it after other sects have arrived."

Li Xianyun was exhausted after all the escape, and all she could do now was to wait. Besides, Yun Fan was still young, so it was not appropriate for her to work any more. Thinking of this, she led Yun Fan back to the guest room.

Nanliang, Haiyi Pavilion...

Haiyi Pavilion is the state religion of Southern Liang. Half of the disciples, including the Pavilion Master, Elders, and even the disciples, are from the Southern Liang royal family. Pavilion Master Li Yong is the uncle of the current emperor, and one of the four elders is his grandfather. There are more than a hundred disciples in the sect who are descendants of the royal family, and the other disciples are also the sons of high-ranking officials in the court.

It is said that Chu Yan led a group of disciples of Chonghai Sect and entered Haiyi Pavilion in a mighty manner. This originally quiet and peaceful pavilion was instantly shrouded in a haze.

The leader of Haiyi Pavilion and his many devout followers were caught off guard and became puppets of Chonghai Sect.

However, what was surprising was that Chu Yan only used the spirit control technique to treat the people of Chonghai Sect. He not only used the spirit control technique on the people of Haiyi Pavilion, but also intensified the cruel abuse.

This is all related to the previous oppression of Chonghai Sect by Haiyi Pavilion. All the people in Haiyi Pavilion have become puppets in Chu Yan's hands.

Among the two fish that slipped through the net, one of them, Li Xianyun, is the only daughter of Li Kuisheng, the second elder of Haiyi Pavilion. Li Kuisheng is a member of the royal family of Southern Liang, and another identity of Li Xianyun is the aunt of the current emperor of Southern Liang.

The other person, Yun Fan, is the youngest and most intelligent disciple of the four elders of Haiyi Pavilion. He is also the son of a high-ranking official in Nanliang.

Chu Yan had strength, and then he began to recruit soldiers and disciples. He claimed to the outside world that he was a guest personally invited by Li Yong of Haiyi Pavilion, but in fact, a few sober villains of Chonghai Sect manipulated a group of unconscious puppets to occupy the magpie's nest.

"Big Brother! Now Haiyi Pavilion has sincerely submitted to us... to you, and is bowing down to you! So what should we do next?" Chu Yu's eyes widened, his face full of admiration and respect. He stared at Chu Yan who was sitting on the Pavilion Master's throne, and asked in an extremely pious and respectful tone.

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a confident smile.

He responded calmly, "Do you even need to ask? Of course we should strike while the iron is hot and continue to recruit talented people and more disciples to join the Chonghai Sect. In this way, we can continue to grow our influence and, in time, we will surely make our sect the undisputed leader of the five major sects among the immortal sects!"

Chu Yan's words all revealed a determination to win.

To be fair, Chu Yan's ambitions are understandable. It's just a pity that he chose the wrong path. He did not choose to achieve his grand goal through legitimate means, but instead tried to take shortcuts and embarked on a path that was regarded as a crooked path and was not tolerated by the righteous immortals.

Seeing this, Chu Xin, who was standing by, hurried forward with a flattering look on his face. He carefully massaged Chu Yan's shoulders while praising him nonstop: "Oh, Senior Brother is truly wise and intelligent! If it weren't for your amazing talent leading us, I'm afraid we would still be a small sect that is bullied and unknown until now."

These flattering words were very useful to Chu Yan. He half-closed his eyes with a smile on his lips. He was no longer the timid but determined boy in Fanli Mountain.

That’s right, ever since joining the Chonghai Sect, he has been bullied by several senior sisters internally, and has also been bullied by people from other immortal sects externally along with them.

He had long been fed up with this kind of life where he was bullied everywhere. Since his master could not protect him, he would find a way to make himself stronger.

He knew very well that he did not have the extraordinary talent to establish a new school or create new techniques, but this did not mean that he would easily give up his ambition to pursue power.

After some twists and turns, he finally found what seemed to be the quickest and most effective way - practicing the spirit-controlling technique that was considered a forbidden technique in the demon world.

There are two ways to practice the soul-controlling technique. One is to directly devour the soul of others for your own use. The other is to absorb the thoughts of others and control their bodies for your own use.

When Chu Yan was in Hanyu City, he witnessed the eerie and terrifying scene when Xiao Yu used the soul-controlling technique. So, he chose the latter - absorbing other people's thoughts and controlling their bodies for his own use.

His choice was indeed a good one. These people were all controlled by his thoughts. Not only did he gain cultivation, but he also got a group of puppets who obeyed his orders.

With these puppets, no one dared to hurt him easily. After all, he controlled the lives of so many puppets.

This shortcut was full of unknowns and challenges, but Chu Yan was surprisingly successful along the way. At first, he carefully targeted people close to him. One, two, three, he easily achieved control over these people.

Over time, this control became more and more handy.

Then, he began to systematically defeat and control more targets one by one. One after another, the once familiar faces lost their self-awareness under his control and became obedient tools in his hands.

Before long, even the entire sect fell into his hands, including the mediocre sect leader Chu Yanliang.

After successfully controlling the entire sect, Chu Yan's ambitions grew. He was no longer satisfied with this little achievement, and began to look at some unknown small sects around the sect. Like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, he quickly recruited all of these forces.

In this way, in the process of continuous expansion, his strength grew day by day. Soon, he became strong enough to compete with Haiyi Pavilion, one of the five great immortal gates.

As expected, the first step Chu Yan took after becoming powerful was to turn his guns against Haiyi Pavilion. After some planning, he used very dishonorable means to recruit all the people in Haiyi Pavilion.

"Haiyi Pavilion has been defeated by me. Our next step will be to go to Yunji Villa." Chu Yan's face was full of sinister smiles, and he spoke in a gloomy manner.

"Yunji Villa?" Chu Yu was shocked when he heard this. Yunji Villa had been severely damaged by the escape of the Demon Locking Tower. I guess it hasn't recovered yet. Senior Brother, is it appropriate to take over Yunji Villa at this time?

"Yes, it is Yunji Villa. Yunji Villa is very powerful, with three elders with high cultivation, the upright leader Sa Hurricane, and the chief disciple Zhou Ze with outstanding qualifications..." Chu Yan carefully calculated the people in Yunji Villa. If he could take all those people into his pocket, including the monsters in the Monster Locking Tower, then he might become invincible.

"Yunji Villa is as famous as Haiyi Pavilion, so its strength must be strong. But since Senior Brother can make Haiyi Pavilion sincerely submit to our Chonghai Sect, he will surely be able to take over Yunji Villa smoothly." After some thought, Chu Yu said confidently.

"Junior Brother Chu Yu is right. I can actually make Haiyi Pavilion submit to me, so Yunji Villa is naturally no problem as well." Chu Yan was already overwhelmed by the flattery of his two junior brothers and was completely convinced of his own strength.

"You go and prepare first, notify the sect master and everyone, and notify the people in Haiyi Pavilion as well. We will set out for the Xinyue Country in three days, and our destination is Yunji Villa." Chu Yan gave orders to the people around him with the attitude of a superior.

Chu Yan's side was scheduled to march to Yunji Mountain Villa in three days, and Yunji Mountain Villa also sent out a spiritual bird to notify all immortal sects to gather and attack Chu Yan. Who will win or lose between the two groups in three days? It is still unknown.

The Southern Liang royal family had no idea that Haiyi Pavilion was controlled by Chu Yan, but the Xinyue Imperial City had already received the news.

As soon as Jin Xuan received the news, he mobilized 100,000 imperial city guards to garrison at the foot of Danxia Peak.

Sa Hurricane originally disagreed to let the garrison troops take risks. After all, they were not facing flesh-and-blood soldiers, but a group of puppets controlled by magic attacks, who knew pain but not fear of life and death.

Jin Xuan firmly believed that as the ruler of a country, he had the obligation and responsibility to protect his country villa. Whether it was an enemy or an evil demon, he must fight it to the end.

Sa Hun could not overcome Jin Xuan's firm attitude, and finally had to arrange Zhou Ze and Yun Qing to protect Jin Xuan closely.

In fact, Jin Xuan would not agree to this at first, as Zi Yan was already by his side. After spending so much time together, they had become close friends, so he naturally felt relieved to leave his safety to Zi Yan.

While Sa Hun was grateful to Jin Xuan, he also felt that he was here to cause trouble. If these 100,000 troops were accidentally controlled by Chu Yan, the consequences would be unknown.
