Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Leave me forever? Brother, do you know that you are talking nonsense! You and I are brothers and sisters from the same mother, twins, and have been dependent on each other and sharing weal and woe since childhood. How could you say such heartless words, do you want to abandon me?" Ji Wu widened his eyes, staring at the person in front of him with eyes as cold as ice, and his voice was extremely cold.

Ji Zhang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Brother, if you can give up and stop practicing the spirit control technique, then we two brothers can still rely on each other as before. If you still insist on doing it, then I can't stop you. Rather than watching you get deeper and deeper, I'd rather withdraw."

Hearing this, Ji Wu's face became even gloomier, and his already cold tone now added a bit of chilliness: "So, in the final analysis, you just want to betray me, right?" He gritted his teeth tightly, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he would explode at any time.

Ji Zhang shook his head helplessly and emphasized again: "I didn't betray you, I just hope you can turn back from your wrong path. As long as you stop, I will not leave you..." However, before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Ji Wu.

"Stop it, it's impossible, don't even think about leaving me." How could Ji Wu tolerate his only brother leaving him? In anger, he did not hesitate to tie up Ji Zhang tightly with the magic rope.

"Ji Wu, what are you doing? I'm your biological brother." Ji Zhang's eyes were full of disbelief. His younger brother, who had depended on him since childhood, actually treated him like this.

"It is precisely because you are my biological brother that I don't want you to leave. I can refine these demon essences for my own use without you protecting me. Brother, don't worry, I will let you go when everything returns to calm." After Ji Wu finished speaking, he ordered people to lock up Ji Zhang with a determined look.

Before the demon world was unified, he didn't want his brother to leave, nor did he want him to be in any danger.

Without the guardian Ji Zhang to protect him, Ji Wu made a prompt decision and decided to set up a magic array and barrier on his own.

He knew very well that this matter could not afford to be careless, so he carefully selected several subordinates with relatively good cultivation and had them stationed on the periphery to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

At the same time, how could Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng, who were on the side of justice, be content with peace? Under Lan Moqiu's careful guidance, the two of them began a nearly crazy practice.

This time, they started to learn the basics of immortal arts from the beginning, from the most basic methods of training qi, how to set up formations and seal techniques, to the later methods of controlling demons, beasts and gods, etc.

When it comes to practicing immortal arts, Yu Xiaobai is not a gifted person. Fortunately, Helan Ruofeng accompanies her in practicing together. In addition, she can absorb spiritual power and demonic power on her own, which makes her cultivation progress by leaps and bounds, and her progress is even faster.

Compared to Yu Xiaobai's hard work, the four elders of the demon world dared not take it lightly. They didn't know what situation the demon world would face. So they dared not slack off for a moment, and they all trained their demon soldiers diligently. After all, no one could predict when Ji Wu would come back again.

As the only commander without troops among the four elders, Hu Xiu had no soldiers to train, so he could only practice in seclusion in the temple. He had to take advantage of these days to cultivate his own skills. Even if he couldn't return to his previous state, he couldn't be as weak as he is now.

Bai Ji had obviously become much smarter this time when he stepped into the demon world. He did not show his true face, but skillfully used the art of transformation to transform into an inconspicuous demon man.

The Suzaku Envoy walking side by side with him was amazing. She transformed into a charming and charming lady. Her graceful figure and charming and beautiful face would make anyone stop and stare.

While walking, Zhuque suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Ji beside him, and said softly: "Lord Bai Ji, thinking back to the battle ten thousand years ago, you and I fought against Lord Cangmo together. To be honest, I had no intention of hurting him at that time. Now that I know he is still alive, the heavy stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground, and the knot that has been entangled for many years has finally been untied." After that, Zhuque sighed slightly, as if recalling various scenes from the past years.

After hearing this, Bai Ji did not show the slightest bit of relief on his face. Instead, his brows were furrowed and his expression became more confused.

He let out a long sigh and replied slowly: "Although the knot from ten thousand years ago has been resolved, but in the current situation, Cang Mo refuses to agree to return to the God Realm. It's as if the gears of misfortune from ten thousand years ago have reappeared, and a new knot has been formed." His words were full of helplessness and worry.

The Suzaku Envoy certainly knew what he was talking about? Ten thousand years ago, they didn't want to kill Cang Mo, but isn't the current situation a repeat of the situation ten thousand years ago? If it's not handled properly, it will be the same deadlock as ten thousand years ago.

"Ten thousand years ago, the Lord of the Demon Realm secretly protected him. Now, no one knows where the Lord of the Demon Realm is. If the scene really happens like the confrontation ten thousand years ago, who can come out to protect him?" Bai Ji couldn't help but express his worries. If the time came, there would be a war, and he didn't want to see that happen.

"Now, both the God of War Yan Xiao and the Emperor Huo Rong have died. Apart from the Emperor of Heaven, the only one in the God Realm who can compete with Lord Cangmo is probably Lord Weiqing who is currently undergoing tribulations in the lower realm." Zhuque said thoughtfully.

"You will not hurt Cang Mo, Emperor of Heaven... Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Emperor of Heaven will never take action against Cang Mo personally." Bai Ji said in a troubled tone.

He could probably guess the relationship between Lan Moqiu and Helan Ruofeng. If based on his previous understanding of Wei Qing, Wei Qing, the son of the Emperor of Heaven, who was kind-hearted and disliked fighting, would definitely not take action against an innocent person.

What's more, Helan Ruofeng is now married to a demon girl, who is also Cang Mo's apprentice. They will definitely help each other and will never break up because of an unimportant order.

Even if we take a step back, Wei Qing is now just an ordinary cultivator, and has no intention of going through tribulations and ascending to heaven.

This life is Wei Qing's last life. If he gives up ascending to heaven because of a demon woman, he will eventually become an ordinary mortal or an immortal and will never be able to return to the throne of god.

"Anyway, this is a thankless and very difficult task. If you and I cannot capture Cang Mo, we will have to hide in the Three Realms like him from now on." Bai Ji couldn't help but tease.

"Lord Bai Ji, is Cang Mo really that powerful? Ten thousand years ago, before we even did anything, the God of War Yan Xiao had already used the Black Glazed Fire to deal with him. If it weren't for the Demon World Lord protecting him, could he really be alive until now?" Zhuque didn't seem to believe Bai Ji's judgment. In her impression, Cang Mo was not as powerful as the legend said.

"I have fought with him before. If it were just the two of us, we would be no match for him. But if we gather many divine soldiers to go down to the mortal world together, we will inevitably have a conflict with the demon world, and there will be countless casualties. I don't want to see that kind of scene." Bai Ji told the Suzaku Envoy his concerns truthfully.

“I really don’t understand what Lord Cangmo is thinking. Among all the living beings in the Three Realms, who doesn’t want to ascend to the divine realm and enjoy eternal immortality?” Zhuque was conflicted for a moment.

"All mortals in the world are burdened by the seven emotions and six desires. It is precisely because the gods are ruthless that they can have mercy on all living things. Lord Cangmo has great love in his heart, but he can't suppress the love between men and women in his heart. In the end, he was trapped by love and caused the current situation." When Bai Ji said this, he couldn't help but recall the beautiful woman who was as white as snow seven thousand years ago.

Yes, speaking of love between men and women, he finally recalled Meng Jiao, his immortal partner who had promised to live forever with him. The woman who was willing to give up her divine status and fall into the devil's way forever for a human man.

"Lord Baiji, love in the world is really poisonous. It not only poisoned the God of Dark Water, but also Lord Cangmo. Lord Baiji, you must take care of your heart and don't lose your original intention like those two." Zhuque felt that love could cause great harm to people, so he reminded them specially.

"Envoy Suzaku, why didn't I notice that you are such a gossip before?" Bai Ji looked at the Envoy Suzaku with stern eyes. Such a beautiful woman, but she has such a gossipy temper.

"Oh, I'm doing this for your own good. How can you say I'm a gossip? Well, do whatever you want." Zhuque was upset by what Bai Ji said, so he just waved his hand and walked to the front.

Bai Ji saw that Zhuque was angry, so he could only follow her and continue walking forward. They walked to Maple Ridge. The originally warm and harmonious Maple Forest tree house complex had long been deserted, leaving only a few unique tree houses in silence.

"Suzaku Envoy, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Why do I feel like there's something strange here? Why is it so quiet?" Bai Ji was the first to notice something was wrong and couldn't help but shout.

"Isn't it good to be quiet? I don't like noise, but I think this is good." Zhuque was obviously still angry, and his tone was obviously a little unhappy.

"I'm talking about serious matters. This is the territory of Hu Xiu, the second elder of the demon world. There should be many demons living here, so it should be very lively. Now it's so desolate and cold. Something must have happened to make it so quiet here." Bai Ji said vigilantly while observing the things around him.

Zhuque slowly came to her senses and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. She found that Maple Ridge, which should have been noisy, was surprisingly quiet at the moment, and not even a cicada could be heard.

The entire Maple Ridge was so quiet that it made people feel inexplicably uneasy and nervous. Suzaku couldn't help but feel confused and asked, "What is going on? Why is it so quiet here? Could it be that something terrible has happened, as Lord Baiji said?" Thinking of this, Suzaku couldn't help but look at Baiji beside him.

"Instead of making random guesses, it's better to keep moving forward and catch a little demon to ask." Bai Ji said as he carefully leaned forward and said to Zhuque behind him without turning his head.

Zhuque frowned slightly, but quickly followed Bai Ji's pace. The two walked quickly in the forest full of maple trees, and the dead branches and leaves under their feet made crisp sounds.

After walking for a long distance, Suzaku suddenly noticed something strange around her. She stopped and listened attentively.

But at this time, Bai Ji was still unaware and continued to walk forward.

After a while, Suzaku finally confirmed that his feeling was correct - someone was following them secretly.

In a flash, Bai Ji appeared in front of the little demon like a ghost. The poor little demon had no time to react and was firmly caught in Bai Ji's hand.

Seeing this, Suzaku hurried forward. When she saw the trembling little demon in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

Bai Ji didn't have so many thoughts. He was the first to ask in confusion: "Why are you following us? And what happened here? Tell the truth!"

The little demon raised his head tremblingly, and glanced at the two people in front of him with a pair of eyes full of fear and panic. He muttered to himself: These two people have no demonic aura, but they can perform such powerful magic. Where did they come from? Thinking of this, the little demon felt more and more scared.

"What are you looking at! If you dare to look at me again, believe it or not... I will dig out your eyes immediately. Answer my question quickly!" Bai Ji deliberately made a ferocious look and threatened the little demon viciously.

"Who are you? Why did you trespass into my demon world? You are not demons, right?" The little demon saw that although the two men were wearing demon clothes, there was no demonic aura on them, so he mustered up the courage to ask.

"Why do you care who we are? Are you going to answer the question I just asked you?" Bai Ji's hands tightened, and Xiao Yao's neck was tightly grasped, and his breathing became a little tight.

"Please spare my life, please spare my life... I'll tell you now." She wanted to hold Bai Ji's hands tightly with both hands, wanted to pry open the fingers that were clamped around her neck, and kept begging for mercy.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ji separated his hands that were clamped around his neck and said, "If you lie to me even with a single word, I will destroy all your demon essence."

“Don’t dare…don’t dare…” The little demon waved his hands hastily and said, “The twin brothers Ji Wu and Ji Zhang, who were under the command of Elder Hu Xiu, suddenly rebelled. Not only did they kill Elder Hu Xiu, they also practiced the forbidden technique of controlling spirits in the demon world. In order to practice the technique of controlling spirits, they also killed many soldiers and civilians in the demon world.”

"Forbidden techniques in the demon world? Soul-controlling techniques?" Bai Ji asked again with a frown.

"I'm just an ordinary little demon. I used to live in a wooden house in Fengmuling with my family. Not long ago, Ji Wu suddenly led a group of demon soldiers to attack Yuwu City, which was ruled by the Great Elder. After being defeated by the Great Elder, Ji Wu returned to Fengmuling and began to recruit demon soldiers. Rumor has it that he would also use his demon soldiers to practice spirit-controlling techniques. My family and I were worried about being harmed by him, so we hid." The little demon explained roughly what he knew in panic.

"Using demon soldiers to practice the art of controlling spirits? Is this art of controlling spirits so evil?" After Bai Ji said this, he looked at Zhuque standing beside him.

"Don't look at me. I have never heard of such evil magic." Zhuque also said that he knew nothing.

Then, after thinking for a while, she said, "Evil spirits have always been evil, so it's not surprising that they have such evil forbidden techniques. Have you ever heard of anyone in the God Realm who practices such evil techniques?"

"I don't agree with what Envoy Suzaku said. Last time, when I went to the human world, I met a disciple from an immortal sect who also practiced this kind of evil magic." Bai Ji suddenly remembered the incident with the Chonghai Sect he encountered in the Black Sea.

"You are right. What should we do next?" Zhuque stopped dwelling on this matter and asked again.

"The disputes in the demon world will be resolved by the demon world itself. The most important thing for you and me now is to find Cang Mo first." Bai Ji said after thinking for a while.

"Then if we find Lord Cangmo, how can we convince him to go back to the God Realm with us?" Zhuque once again asked a question that Bai Ji could not answer.
