Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"I have spoken out of turn. What do you plan to do?" Taibu Xingjun asked in a different way.

"I don't know either. I can't beat him, and Cang Mo is not a three-year-old child who can listen to me. Old fortune teller, why don't you give me some advice! How can I make Lord Cang Mo return to the God Realm obediently?" Bai Ji then changed his tone to ask for advice.

He couldn't even take out the Soul Binding Rope to deal with Cang Mo. Did he really have to call the four great gods, all those who could fight, to catch Cang Mo back? In this way, wouldn't it be back to the scene ten thousand years ago?

"Alas! I am at a loss now! My mission is full of difficulties and obstacles. Whether I can complete it successfully depends on fate." Taibu Xingjun frowned and thought to himself. When he thought that he needed to convert the stubborn Wei Qing, Helan Ruofeng was only interested in love and didn't care about his future.

"Has the old fortune teller failed to convince Weiqing so far?" Bai Ji asked slowly with a bitter smile on his face.

Cang Mo's cultivation was too high, and he had no way of competing with it, let alone capturing it back to the divine realm.

But Wei Qing is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, and his status is extremely respected.

It is obviously not advisable to use force against Cang Mo, but it is absolutely impossible to use force against Wei Qing. These two things are really ironic.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying more. I'd better go down to the mortal world as soon as possible and continue to think of ways to convert my stubborn disciple." Taibu Xingjun sighed and shook his head, with a helpless look on his face, and slowly left with heavy steps.

Bai Ji silently watched the figure of Taibu Star Lord walking away until he completely disappeared from his sight. Then he turned around and began to mobilize the divine soldiers and generals from all sides, preparing to personally lead them to the lower world to capture Cang Mo.

Regardless of whether the victory can be won or whether the mission can be completed, the Emperor of Heaven's order must be carried out in the end.

Coincidentally, as soon as Bai Qiyang informed Taibu Xingjun, the latter arrived immediately.

"Old Master, you are finally here! Su Jin missed you so much!" With a cheer, Su Jin ran straight towards Master Taibu like a pug. However, just when he was about to jump into Master Taibu's arms, he was stopped by the other party.

At this moment, Taibu Xingjun was completely stunned, his heart full of doubts and puzzlement. Su Jin was a member of his Sichen Palace, how could he suddenly appear in this human world? And this little guy seemed to have experienced a lot.

"That's not right..." Taibu Xingjun muttered to himself, his brows tightly furrowed, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth over Su Jin.

At this moment, Su Jin was more like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances. He sobbed and said, "Old lady Bu, I have been looking for you for a long time. I have gone through a lot of hardships along the way. Finally, you are here! Wuuuu..." At the end, Su Jin could no longer suppress his inner excitement and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Taibu Xingjun hurriedly comforted her, "Alright, don't cry, don't cry. Tell me what happened. How did you end up in this human world? Who brought you down here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taibu Xingjun's sharp eyes shot like two lasers directly at Bai Qiyang who was standing beside him. His eyes were full of blame, as if questioning why he brought Su Jin to the underworld.

Feeling Taibu Xingjun's unfriendly gaze, Bai Qiyang suddenly felt a little wronged. He hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself, "Old Taibu... please don't look at me like that. I really didn't bring him down." After saying that, he did not forget to reach out and pull Su Jin, signaling him to help clarify the facts.

Su Jin broke free from his hand, and explained to Taibu Xingjun sincerely, "Old Taibu, it was really not Xiaobai Xianjun who brought me down. It was because I missed you so much that I went to ask Cong Li to bring me down to see you."

"Hmph! Brat, why don't you stay in the Sichen Palace obediently? Why do you come to the lower world to find me?" Taibu Xingjun raised his hand and tapped Su Jin's head lightly, then asked with a stern face, pretending to be angry.

Su Jin touched the place where he was hit, and the smile on his tearful face did not fade at all. He pursed his lips and muttered aggrievedly, "Oh, I'm so bored alone in the Sichen Palace, so I thought of coming down to the world to play." While speaking, he deliberately blinked his eyes, revealing an innocent child's appearance.

Taibu Xingjun couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when he saw Su Jin like this, but he still said mercilessly: "You, you are always so naughty! The underworld is not a fun place, and there are dangers everywhere. You have to listen to me. If you get lost accidentally, you might be caught by demons and used to practice evil skills!" After saying that, Taibu Xingjun pretended to have a gloomy and terrifying expression, trying to scare Su Jin.

Bai Qiyang didn't wait for Taibu Xingjun to continue playing with Su Jin. He stretched out his hand and pulled Su Jin to his side, and asked him to stand steadily. Then he looked at Taibu Xingjun with a serious face and said seriously: "Old Taibu, please don't be in a hurry to teach him a lesson. We are looking for you this time because we have something important to discuss!"

"..." Taibu Xingjun's face was clearly unhappy. He didn't come down to the human world to play, but to find his obedient disciple Helan Ruofeng.

"The human world is about to face a catastrophe that will destroy the world. The divine world has had the responsibility to protect the human world since ancient times. As the master of the Sichen Palace in the divine world, shouldn't you do your bit?" Bai Qiyang started by flattering Taibu Xingjun and putting the yoke of responsibility on him.

"..." Taibu Xingjun looked at Bai Qiyang half-believingly and half-doubtingly without saying anything. He was just a civil official in the divine world. How could he solve any major issues concerning the survival of the human world?

"A cultivator who practices evil skills has appeared in the immortal sect. This evil skill can control the consciousness of others, turning these people into killing tools that are not afraid of pain." Bai Qiyang told the story without waiting for Taibu Xingjun to react.

When Taibu Xingjun heard what Bai Qiyang said, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that this matter might be very serious. He immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Bai Qiyang took a deep breath and methodically recounted everything he knew after arriving here.

Taibu Xingjun listened quietly, sometimes nodding slightly, sometimes frowning.

When he heard the name "Chu Yan", Taibu Xingjun couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. He stroked his white beard and fell into reminiscence. After a moment, he said: "Chu Yan? The young man from Chonghai Sect... I have some impression of him. At that time in Fanxing Town, it was this boy who followed Feng'er and Xiaoyu to Fanli Mountain to rescue people!"

"Fanxing Town? I still remember that there was a snow monster there, right?" Bai Qiyang turned to Taibu Xingjun with a puzzled look on his face and asked as if seeking confirmation.

Taibu Xingjun was stunned when he heard this, and then replied unhappily: "Xiaobai Xianjun, is it possible that your memory is not as good as this old man's?" There was a hint of blame in his words, but more of it was sarcasm.

Being asked this question by Taibu Xingjun, Bai Qiyang smiled awkwardly, and then quickly responded: "Haha, yes, it was in Fanxing Town. At that time, I helped Weiqing to repel the snow monster!" At this point, Bai Qiyang's face unconsciously showed a trace of embarrassment.

"Are you embarrassed to say that you drove away your ex-sister-in-law?" Taibu Xingjun added in a deliberately unpleasant tone.

"You two gods should stop arguing. We are all gathered here to protect the Immortal Sect. There is no need to ruin the harmony because of some trivial matters." Long Xiao was really afraid that these two would run away after arguing, and the people in the Immortal Sect would definitely lose a lot of help.

At this moment, Zhou Ze led the Lingque Elder of the Yuling Sect and a group of people to pay a visit to Bai Qiyang, but he never expected that Taibu Xingjun was also here.

"Little Zhou Ze, why are so many of you here?" Taibu Xingjun was very happy to see Zhou Ze and immediately went up to him and asked.

"Old Immortal Master, Elder Lingque of the Yuling Sect heard that there was an Immortal Lord from the Divine Realm here, so he asked me to bring him here to pay him a visit." Zhou Ze said truthfully and respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Taibu Xingjun looked in the direction Zhou Ze was looking, and saw an octogenarian old man with an immortal look looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Is this Elder Lingque?" When Taibu Xingjun saw this old Taoist who looked much older than himself, he couldn't help but feel a little respect in his heart.

"My two immortal masters, I am honored to be here." Lingque bowed to Taibu Xingjun and Bai Qiyinyang very humbly and respectfully.

"There is no need to be so polite, Elder Lingque. Please stand up quickly." Taibu Xingjun hurriedly went forward to support Lingque.

"My sect has encountered such a great disaster this time. Fortunately, the two immortal masters came to our aid in time. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you two!" Elder Lingque bowed slightly, his words full of humility and gratitude.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyang stood up and waved his hand, saying, "In the Three Realms, all living beings are equal. Elder, you really don't need to be so polite."

Bai Qiyang has an upright posture and a dignified bearing. As a member of the God Clan, he has a long life and still looks like a vigorous young man.

Looking at Elder Lingque again, it is truly amazing that he has survived for more than 500 years with his mortal body. I heard that he has already cultivated into a body of an immortal, which can be said to be extraordinary, but he already looks like an octogenarian.

Taibu Xingjun had a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Since Elder Lingque has achieved immortality, he should have ascended to the fairyland according to common sense. I wonder why he is still staying here?" His eyes were sharp and he could tell at a glance that Elder Lingque was no longer an ordinary mortal.

Facing Taibu Xingjun's question, Elder Lingque looked calm, with no intention of concealing anything, and said slowly: "This old immortal master doesn't know that although I am fortunate enough to cultivate the way of immortality, my heart can never let go of those people in this mundane world who make me worry." After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh softly, as if he had a thousand worries and helplessness in his heart.

"The elder's memories have been lost in the immortal world, so why is there someone he can't let go of?" Taibu Xingjun asked puzzledly.

"Of course they are the disciples of Yuling Sect. Their leader is now practicing in seclusion all day, thinking about how to ascend to heaven. The chief disciple Huo Ning only wants to eliminate evil and protect the peace of the human world. The slightly more capable disciples all have irritable personalities that are difficult to control. It's difficult for Yuling Sect to fulfill their trust." Lingque told Taibu Xingjun his worries truthfully.

"What Elder Lingque said makes sense. Not to mention you, even I, an old man who has lived for tens of thousands of years, have endless sufferings in my heart." Taibu Xingjun seemed to have met someone he could talk to, and enthusiastically took Lingque's hand and walked towards a secluded place.

"I never thought that my old lady Bu, at her age, could still find a soulmate in the underworld." Su Jin's ignorant voice suddenly sounded.

The next day, the sun was high in the middle of the sky, and its scorching light mercilessly poured down on the earth, enveloping everything in the world in a dazzling golden color.

At this moment, time has quietly passed until noon...

Everyone in the Immortal Sect had been alert and ready since early morning, because Chu Yan had made a bold statement yesterday, saying that he would come to talk with them again today.

Everyone was nervous and anxious, quietly waiting for that frightening moment to arrive.

But as time went by, not a single mosquito was seen at the foot of Danxia Peak. Chu Yan, who was supposed to arrive as promised, seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and had not yet appeared.

As for the puppetry that everyone had been talking about before, even the highly respected Taibu Xingjun had clearly stated that one must witness it with one's own eyes before one can accurately judge what kind of evil magic it is.

Just as everyone began to relax and unwind, suddenly, a light sound of footsteps came from far away.

Then, Chu Yan finally appeared at the foot of Danxia Peak. He was seen taking long, calm steps, followed closely by a group of puppets moving in unison.

From the moment he showed up, everyone in the Immortal Sect instantly became alert, and each of them was like an arrow on a bowstring ready to be shot, staring at the uninvited guest.

Chu Yan obviously didn't expect that his appearance would cause such a big reaction. He couldn't help but feel surprised by their attitude of facing a great enemy. After a short pause, he suddenly raised his head and laughed arrogantly.

"Hahahaha! It's so ridiculous! Those major immortal sects that are usually so majestic and arrogant, have now become as timid and cowardly as frightened birds in front of my senior brother!" Seeing this, Chu Xin, who was standing aside, stepped forward without hesitation and laughed loudly with sarcastic words.

"There will be many more things you can't imagine in the future! Wait until I conquer the five major sects of the immortal world. By then, all the independent cultivators in the world will crawl at my feet and submit to me. How spectacular will that scene be?" Chu Yan was a little proud. He even began to imagine the various feats he would accomplish after unifying the world.

Just as everyone was about to open their mouths to refute, Taibu Xingjun raised his hand to stop them from speaking.

"Chu Yan... do you still remember me?" Taibu Xingjun walked calmly in front of Chu Yan and asked in a gentle tone.

“You are…” Chu Yan was confused for a moment, but in that moment, he remembered the old Taoist in front of him, and then he suppressed his arrogance and said calmly: “I remember you, you are Helan Ruofeng’s master, the God Realm’s Grand God of Fortune.”

Everyone was surprised to see Chu Yan's attitude change so quickly. Such an arrogant person was so peaceful in front of Taibu Xingjun.

"Chu Yan... do you still remember your original intention when you joined the immortal sect?" Taibu Xingjun asked again softly.

"What was your original intention when you joined the immortal sect?" Chu Yan fell into deep thought for a moment after being asked by Taibu Xingjun.

What was his original intention in joining the immortal sect? Wasn't it to eliminate demons, defend the way, and protect the weak? Yes, that's right, but what happened after he joined the Chonghai Sect?
