Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Brother Zhou Ze, since you have decided to capture the bird demon on your own, let's act on our own! Please let me know if you have any clues." Huo Ning said with a fist salute.

"Okay, if Brother Huo has any clues, please tell me the truth." Zhou Ze also said.

Huo Ning and others carried the victim's body away, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only Zhou Ze, Yu Xiaobai, and Helan Ruofeng.

"It's still early tonight, I want to go and investigate. Junior Sister Xiaoyu, you go back to the inn first." Zhou Ze decided to go and investigate alone.

"Big Brother, you go ahead. I can go back to the inn by myself." Yu Xiaobai responded readily.

Zhou Ze nodded, took out the demon-hunting device he carried with him, and chased in the direction Huo Ning left.

As soon as Zhou Ze left, Yu Xiaobai started to think.

"Xiao Yu, do you also want to track down the bird demon?" Helan Ruofeng asked thoughtfully.

"Ruofeng is really the worm in my heart." Yu Xiaobai said in the tone of the ancients.

"Oh, if that's the case, then Ruofeng should also risk his life to accompany Xiaoyu." Yu Xiaobai wanted to check, and Helan Ruofeng volunteered to join in the fun.

In fact, Yu Xiaobai didn’t really want to find out where the bird demon was hiding. She was just curious because she had nothing to do.

As mentioned before, the climate in Chancheng is hot. How hot is it exactly? Even though Yu Xiaobai was wearing light clothes, he still couldn't help wanting to lift his sleeves up to his arms.

Helan Ruofeng was in a worse situation than her. He had just arrived in Chancheng and had not yet found an inn to stay in when he met Yu Xiaobai. At this moment, he was still wrapped in a heavy robe, and his inner clothes were soaked with sweat. His head was also sweating, but he was still stupid and didn't say anything.

They did not follow Zhou Ze secretly, but used the treasure given to Helan Ruofeng by Taibu Xingjun, the Purple Gold Seal, to investigate on the spot.

Helan Ruofeng endured the heat and used his spiritual energy to activate the Purple Gold Seal. He saw a strange red mist appearing around the people that the bird demon had just injured.

"What is this?" Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The Purple Gold Seal is a magical tool for hunting demons from the upper realm. If you use spiritual power to activate it, you can detect the breath of demons in a short period of time." Helan Ruofeng explained.

"Look, it left from there." Yu Xiaobai looked in the direction and saw the red mist disappearing towards a dark alley.

"Let's go." Helan Ruofeng said as he put away the purple gold seal.

"Ruofeng, why didn't you tell Senior Brother Zhou Ze?" Yu Xiaobai was a little confused. He actually had such a treasure, why didn't he share the news?

"Because I want to be with Xiaoyu." Helan Ruofeng said honestly.

"Oh! What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Xiaobai complained in his heart. This guy actually dared to flirt with her. Does he really not want his Miss Zi Yan?

"Xiaoyu, do you know what I am talking about? I want to investigate with Xiaoyu." Helan Ruofeng repeated what he had just said.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore, let's just track down the bird monster!" Yu Xiaobai said, and walked towards the alley.

When Helan Ruofeng saw her leaving, he hurried to follow her.

In the willow alley in the west, Sang Zi, dressed in black, was seriously injured and hiding weakly behind a pile of broken bamboo baskets.

Half a year ago, he arranged for Heiyu to go to the human world to investigate the trajectory of the Demon King's rebirth. Unexpectedly, Heiyu did not find any trace and was seriously injured by a group of people who showed up secretly.

After being seriously injured, Hei Yu's soul was shattered. After being rescued by Zhu Ji, he hid in a snow cave on the outskirts of Zen City.

Zhu Ji found a method to repair Heiyu's soul from somewhere. The method was to use the pure yang essence of human men to repair the damaged soul.

In half a year, Zhu Ji killed countless human men, which obviously violated the agreement between the demon world and the heaven.

Now, the demon king's soul is unknown, and tens of thousands of demon soldiers in the demon world are sealed in the Mixu Illusion Realm. If the heavenly world attacks the demon world at this time, with the current strength of the demon world, it will definitely face the crisis of extinction.

Sang Zi originally wanted to capture Zhu Ji and hand her over to the Heaven Realm for sentencing. He used Zhu Ji to absorb the essence of the human race and also swallowed their spirits to greatly increase his demonic power.

Tonight, Sang Zi followed Zhu Ji all the way here.

When Zhu Ji was besieged by the Yuling Sect, he could only hide. A conflict broke out between the Yuling Sect and the disciples of Yunji Villa, and Zhu Ji deliberately harmed the human race at this time.

He stepped forward to stop her but was defeated and was seriously injured by Zhu Ji.

At this time, Zhu Ji had already escaped, leaving him hiding in this corner and struggling to survive. If he was found by the disciples of the Immortal Sect, he would surely die.

Sure enough, Helan Ruofeng and Yu Xiaobai quickly found this place.

"There's such a strong demonic aura here." Helan Ruofeng said vigilantly.

"Why can't I smell it? I seem to smell it, I smell...your scent." Yu Xiaobai turned around and smelled the strong smell of sweat on Helan Ruofeng's body.

Helan Ruofeng was frightened by her and stepped back, kicking the bamboo basket behind him. Sang Zi was exposed in front of the two of them.

"Monster...Mei Yu, come out..." Yu Xiaobai shouted as he saw Sang Zi.

"Where?" Helan Ruofeng turned around quickly and retreated to Yu Xiaobai's side, looking at the person in front of him vigilantly.

Sang Zi was already very weak at this time, but he forced himself to stand up and acted as if he was ready to fight to the death.

"Monster, you killed someone, I must kill you, don't seek revenge on me!" Yu Xiaobai said as he was about to attack Sang Zi.

"Wait, we just need to take him in. Don't you want to rescue those three people from Yunji Villa?" Helan Ruofeng said quickly.

"I didn't kill that man." Sang Zi said viciously even though he was half dead.

"Stop quibbling. I'm going to take you in." Yu Xiaobai said and directly took out the Qiankun bag.

Suddenly, there was a flash on her neck, and Sang Zi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Pi Lingzhu? It's you!" Sang Zi said, and without waiting for Yu Xiaobai to react, he stretched out his sharp claws and pounced on his neck.

"Xiao Yu... be careful..." Helan Ruofeng hurriedly met Sang Zi, and the two immediately started fighting.

Yu Xiaobai was still in shock and hurriedly stepped aside. She reached out to touch her neck and found the bead that Lan Moqiu had warned her not to take off.

How did this guy know that she had this bead and even call out its name? Could it be?

"Damn, two years ago in the Crescent Moon Imperial City, were you the one who stole my beads?" Yu Xiaobai asked loudly.

"Do you know what this bead is used for?" Sang Zi asked anxiously while dealing with Helan Ruofeng.

"Of course I know, otherwise why would I bring you with me? Tell me, was it you that time in Crescent Moon Imperial City?" Yu Xiaobai asked again.

"You know the function of this bead, so you should also know that I am not your enemy." Sang Zi was still trying to trick Yu Xiaobai into saying this.

At the beginning, he just wanted to steal the Pi Lingzhu for his own use. With the Pi Lingzhu, even if he traveled all over the three realms and nine states, no one would know his true identity.

Later he couldn't help but think deeply. The demon world had been searching for the demon king's soul for thousands of years, but had always been able to find some remaining fragments of the soul.

All of a sudden, all of the soul fragments disappeared in the past few years. There are only two reasons.

1: During the Demon King's rebirth, his soul was scattered on some unstable creatures and was accidentally destroyed by the Immortal Sect. The Demon King no longer has the chance to be reborn.

2: The demon king's spirit has been fully condensed and has been successfully reborn, but he has used some powerful spiritual tools to hide his abilities - such as the Pi Lingzhu that can conceal the demon's aura.

"Nonsense! You hurt humans, so you are my enemy. Ruofeng, quickly take him in to make pills for Immortal Lord Xiaobai." Yu Xiaobai was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and shouted directly.

"She is also a demon, why don't you take her in?" When Sang Zi saw Helan Ruofeng take out the Qiankun bag, he could only point at Yu Xiaobai and yell.

"Stop talking nonsense. Xiaoyu is the disciple of the high priest of the Crescent Moon Dynasty, not a demon. You'd better get into my Qiankun bag obediently." Helan Ruofeng said firmly.

"The Pi Lingzhu is used to conceal the aura of demons. If she is really from the immortal sect as you said, why would she carry it with her?" Sang Zi shouted angrily.

At this moment, he has become a lamb to be slaughtered. In order to save his life, he has to desperately try to prove that Yu Xiaobai is actually a demon.

Sang Zi's words were sincere, but Helan Ruofeng did not believe him. It was just a bead, how could he doubt Xiaoyu?

Yu Xiaobai was different. She suddenly turned into a human form after swallowing the inner elixir of the red snake demon. Since the red snake demon was a demon, she naturally could not be a human anymore.

Poor girl, she was inexplicably turned into a dog, and then from a dog into a demon. She had to rely on a broken bead to cover up the demonic aura.

From the beginning of the trial till now, she finally understood why Lan Moqiu wanted her to take the trial with the disciples of the Immortal Sect. It was to let her see how much the people of the Immortal Sect hated monsters, and she had to hide her identity carefully.

"Ruofeng? How about..." Yu Xiaobai looked at Sang Zi, who was weak but still standing in front of him, and actually felt a little sympathy for him. What if one day he was also hunted down by the people from the Immortal Sect like this?

"Xiao Yu, I believe you." Helan Ruofeng said, turning around.

At this moment, a red figure suddenly appeared like a ghost and rescued Sang Zi.

"Oh no..." Helan Ruofeng was about to jump up and chase after him, but Yu Xiaobai grabbed him for some unknown reason.

Just then, Zhou Ze, Huo Ning and everyone else gathered together.

Yu Xiaobai quickly stuffed the beads around his neck back into his clothes. It was all because the weather here was too hot and he was wearing too few clothes that this happened.

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu? Helan Ruofeng? Why are you two still here and not going back to the inn?" Zhou Ze asked as soon as he saw Yu Xiaobai.

"Are we tracking the monster?" Yu Xiaobai replied quickly.

"Where is the monster?" Huo Ning asked hurriedly.

"The demon was already seriously injured, and I was planning to capture him, but how did a red figure suddenly appear and rescue him?" Helan Ruofeng answered truthfully.

"What red figure?" Zhou Ze and Huo Ning asked in unison.

"Yes! A red figure suddenly appeared and rescued him." Yu Xiaobai also said.

"Is that demon a male or a female?" Zhou Ze and Huo Ning asked at the same time.

"It's a man!" Yu Xiaobai replied.

Both of them looked at Zhou Ze, Huo Ning and others curiously.

"Brother Zhou Ze, if what they two said is true, there is more than one demon who has sneaked into the human world. In addition to the red bird demon, there are other demons." Huo Ning guessed.

"That's right, the first thing we have to do is to capture this bird demon as soon as possible and make sure he doesn't harm anyone again." Zhou Ze said.

"Big Brother, that demon said he didn't kill the man. I didn't believe it at first. But now two demons have appeared. I think he is not lying. Maybe the one in red clothes was the one who killed the man." Yu Xiaobai said with the idea of ​​not wrongly accusing a good demon.

"No matter whether the demons harm people or not, they have violated the covenant by entering the human world. We must capture them." Huo Ning disliked demons in the first place. As long as the demons entered the human territory, he would not let them go. Moreover, these two must be related to the bird demons that escaped from the human race.

"But if he escapes tonight, we will have to spend more effort," Huo Ning said unwillingly.

"Brother Huo, in that case, we'll leave first and continue the investigation tomorrow." Zhou Ze said goodbye and left without staying any longer.

Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng's lover also followed him out of the alley.

"Big Brother, we will come out to catch monsters again tomorrow, right?" Yu Xiaobai asked cautiously.

"Of course, but I promised Miss Aying that I would help him find his uncle tomorrow, so I will come out a little later to look for the whereabouts of the bird demon." Zhou Ze said after some thought.

"It's okay. We are here with you, as well as Ruofeng." Yu Xiaobai encouraged.

"Mr. Helan, you should go back earlier too!" Zhou Ze said when he saw that Helan looked a little strange.

"It doesn't matter. I will send Xiaoyu back myself." Helan Ruofeng said stubbornly.

"In that case, I'll leave first." Zhou Ze seemed to see that the two of them were of the same mind, so he didn't stay to be a light bulb.

Yu Xiaobai turned around to look at Helan Ruofeng, only to see that his face was flushed and he was sweating profusely. Only then did he notice his heavy outer robe.

"Helan Ruofeng, are you stupid? You are wrapped so thickly in this hot weather. Don't you know to take off your clothes?" Yu Xiaobai said as he started to tear off Helan Ruofeng's coat.

Helan Ruofeng wanted to stop her, but finally let her take off her outer robe.

The moment he took off his outer robe, he felt a lot more relaxed. A cool breeze came over him and he stared at Yu Xiaobai in a daze.

"Why are you looking at me? Go back to the inn and rest. I am more tired than you." Yu Xiaobai is an idiot. Helan Ruofeng looked at her with eyes full of affection, but she didn't feel it at all and walked in front of him holding her robe.

"Okay, wait for me." Helan Ruofeng followed Yu Xiaobai like a well-behaved little rabbit.

The next morning, except for Tong Yi, Liu Junsheng, and Shang Zhongyan who were detained by the Yuling Sect, Zhou Ze arranged for all the others to go out and look for people, asking around the streets for the wealthy Zhu family in Chancheng.

I came back in the afternoon to report the results, and I really gained something. The richest man in Chancheng is named Zhu.

In addition, there are more than a dozen wealthy Zhu families in Chancheng. However, there are not many who got married three years ago, got married within the past three years, or are planning to get married.

The richest man Zhu Changgui has an eldest daughter who is over 30 years old but has not married. It is rumored that this girl does not want to marry because she likes to travel, and Mr. Zhu is very worried about this.

Three years ago, Miss Zhu went to the Lanyin Temple outside the city to burn incense and met a young man from another place. She suddenly changed her personality, fell in love with the young man at first sight, and secretly got engaged to him, thus completing her lifelong event.

Two years ago, the son-in-law suddenly died of illness. Miss Zhu's temperament changed drastically after the loss of her husband. From then on, she never stepped out of the room, and no one has seen her since.

At this point, the matter is extremely obvious. This Zhu Ji is the eldest daughter of the richest man Zhu Changgui, and the son-in-law who marries into the family is naturally Aying's uncle Lin Hongwen.

Zhou Ze took a group of fellow junior brothers and sisters and Aying and her brother to the Zhu family.

However, as the richest family in Chancheng, the Zhu family was not something that anyone could enter casually. Everyone was stopped outside the door by the Zhu family servants.

"We are disciples of Yunji Villa. We would like to meet Mr. Zhu of your mansion. Please inform him." Zhou Ze went forward to pay a visit in a proper manner without any rudeness.

"Yunji Villa? Never heard of it." Servant A glanced at Zhou Ze rudely and looked away.
