Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Let's talk about this after you catch the bird monster! Yuwei, let's go." Zhao Hua looked at Mo Xiaotan with disdain, turned around and left.

As soon as they left, everyone started discussing Sa Yulong's matter.

"Do you think that the eldest sister was the one who released the red snake demon?"

"Releasing the Scarlet Snake Demon is equivalent to taking Zi Yan's life, isn't it? I never expected this senior sister to be so vicious."

"How much do you think Ling Yuwei's words can be trusted?"

"I feel like it's true. After all, she herself released the snake demon and did something bad. She is the accomplice of the senior sister."

Everyone was talking at the same time, it was quite lively.

"I didn't expect the snake to come like this." Yu Xiaobai murmured to herself as she walked towards the inn, completely forgetting about Heiduo following her.

Helan Ruofeng was just about to ask her why she knew so much about this when the second wave of people arrived.

Aying and her brother, the housekeeper and Zhu Changgui ran towards them like crazy.

"Little fairy, wait..." Ah Ying shouted loudly while running.

Aying and Aquan ran in the front, while the housekeeper and Zhu Changgui ran behind, panting.

Yu Xiaobai had to stop and wait for them.

"Aying, why are you here?" Yu Xiaobai was still very happy to see Aying.

When Aying saw Heiduo beside Yu Xiaobai, she was so scared that she didn't dare to go forward.

Yu Xiaobai took a look and then looked at Heiduo in a flattering manner.

"Little cutie, how about you go into my Qiankun bag first so I can play with it for a while?"

When Hei Duo heard this, he immediately shook his head in resistance. He had finally escaped from the seal, and now he was forced to go into the bag. Wasn't this making things difficult for him?

"Please, you go in first. I will let you out after I finish dealing with these things, okay?" Yu Xiaobai begged Heiduo.

Seeing her sincerity, Hei Duo could only nod and agree reluctantly.

When Yu Xiaobai saw that Heiduo agreed, he immediately took out the Qiankun bag, chanted a spell, and put Heiduo in it.

"Little fairy, you must save my aunt." Aying said anxiously when she saw Heiduo being put away.

Her aunt? Isn't she Lin Hongwen's wife, Zhu Changgui's eldest daughter Zhu Hui?

"Little fairy, please save my daughter!" Zhu Changgui knelt down to Yu Xiaobai as soon as he arrived.

"No, Mr. Zhu, please tell me what's the matter first. I'll help you if I can, okay?" Yu Xiaobai stopped Zhu Changgui and said loudly, no one should kneel down to others at every turn.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Zhu Changgui stood up and said hurriedly.

"My daughter Zhu Ji, her soul was taken away by someone. The doctor said that if her soul doesn't return within seven days, she cannot be saved." He said anxiously, tears streaming down his face.

"Or, you can come back to the inn with me and let Senior Brother Zhou Ze help you find a solution." Yu Xiaobai suggested. She would never do something like calling back souls.

"Okay, okay, okay..." Zhu Changgui was already frightened by the doctor's words. He just kept saying okay no matter what Yu Xiaobai said.

In this way, Zhu Changgui was brought to Zhou Ze by Yu Xiaobai.

"Mr. Zhu, what happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly." Zhou Ze comforted Zhu Changgui when he saw that he couldn't calm down.

"The servants haven't been into the eldest lady's room for a few days. Yesterday, the cousin and the young master came home, and the master wanted to let them see her. Unexpectedly, when they entered, they found that the eldest lady was lying motionless. We asked a doctor to check, and his pulse and breathing were normal, but his eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't hear us talking." The housekeeper hurried forward to explain.

Zhou Ze only half understood what the housekeeper said and was not sure whether Zhu Ji had bewitched the soul.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to take a look." Zhou Ze decided to go to Zhu's house first.

"Big Brother, can we go together?" Mo Xiaotan suddenly asked.

They had come out for the trial, and so far they hadn't encountered anything special.

"Okay! Anyone who wants to go can follow me." Zhou Ze said after thinking for a while.

Just like that, a group of people followed Zhou Ze to Zhu Mansion.

It was snowing heavily along the way, and everyone was in high spirits, which contrasted with Mr. Zhu's anxiety.

Following at the end were Helan Ruofeng and Cong Li.

Cong Li was particularly excited. He was so happy to be able to follow Helan Ruofeng everywhere. These days, Bai Qiyang was watching him practice every day. He always felt hot all over, and even his heartbeat became much faster. He was really afraid that he would be burned one day.

"Do you know how to make pills?" Helan Ruofeng asked him in a low voice.

"No, I just practice martial arts every day and learn some materials needed for alchemy." Cong Li imitated Helan Ruofeng and said in a low voice.

"When you learn how to make pills, don't forget to make some for me to strengthen my body, okay?" Helan Ruofeng asked in a low voice.

"Of course, Brother Helan is my best friend. Not only can I strengthen your body and prolong your life, I will give you whatever you want." Cong Li patted his chest and promised.

"Cong Li, I have a treasure for you. You will definitely be able to use it when the time comes." Yu Xiaobai was waiting for the two of them and quickly spoke up.

"What treasure?" Cong Li immediately became excited when he heard the word treasure.

"When Ruofeng and I were in Fanli Mountain, we met a huge elk. It gave me its horns," Yu Xiaobai explained.

The pair of elk's antlers were too big and very tough. She was afraid that after a long time, they would puncture her Qiankun bag. She was not used to keeping these things in her Lingxu.

"Lost? Chicken feet?" Cong Li was confused.

"The elk Xiaoyu was talking about is the legendary four-legged beast, and the horns are the pair of horns on the elk's head." Helan Ruofeng helped Yu Xiaobai explain.

"Oh! That is indeed a treasure. Master said that the horns of the four-legged beast will mature and fall off every winter. They are excellent materials for refining alchemy. They can be used to refine fire pills, which can be used to treat diseases and keep warm. They can also be used to refine spiritual weapons." Cong Li immediately shared what he had learned and known in the past few days.

As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at Zhu Mansion. Today, Zhu Mansion was covered with heavy snow, but it still looked very spectacular at a glance.

Everyone followed Mr. Zhu to Miss Zhu's yard.

As soon as you enter the yard, the temperature drops suddenly and a cold air fills the entire yard.

Everyone shuddered unconsciously.

"Something is not normal here." Cong Li was the first to notice something unusual.

The housekeeper hurried forward to open the door, but found that the door could not be pushed open at all.

"The door seems to be blocked from the inside and can't be opened." The butler said, turning around.

"Let me try." Xing Fang volunteered to step forward.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when he grew up he entered the immortal sect to learn magic, so he is naturally not considered a weakling.

At first, he just gathered up his strength and pushed the door hard. Seeing that the door still didn't move, he began to use his spiritual power to push it, but it still didn't move.

Xing Fang turned around and looked at Zhou Ze in confusion.

"Is there anyone who can't break the barrier?" Cong Li said again at this moment.

Xing Fang listened to him and tried it with his spiritual power, and found that there really was a barrier.

"Big Brother?" Xing Fang could only wait for Zhou Ze to make a decision.

"Mr. Zhu, have you ever asked any expert to set up a barrier in this yard?" Zhou Ze turned around and asked Zhu Changgui, who had been silent.

"How would I know those things? There is the Yuling Sect stationed outside the Zen City, and I've never heard of any evil spirits appearing before. Until that bird monster appeared, my family has always been peaceful and quiet. Nothing strange has ever happened." Master Zhu said affirmatively.

"Let's break the barrier together!" After hearing what Master Zhu said, Zhou Ze had no choice but to break the barrier first. The person who set up the barrier was very powerful.

After hearing this, everyone stepped forward to help Zhou Ze destroy the barrier from the outside, otherwise they would have no idea what was happening inside.

Everyone tried it, but there was no sign of the barrier loosening.

"Why don't you let me do it!" Helan Ruofeng suddenly said.

"How did you crack it? No one could crack it just now." Zhou Ze asked curiously.

"Three years ago in the secret realm, we were also trapped in the barrier of the red snake demon. The barrier of the ancient demon must be difficult to break, right? But we have a way to break it." Helan Ruofeng said proudly as he took out a sparkling stone from Lingxu.

"Pink crystal stone?" Yu Xiaobai shouted in surprise. At that time, she and Jin Xuan broke the monster's barrier with the help of the pink crystal stones in their hands.

"Just use this?" Everyone looked at Helan Ruofeng with suspicion.

"I believe him. We used this to break the red snake demon's barrier last time." Seeing that others doubted Helan Ruofeng, Yu Xiaobai quickly stood up to prove it for him.

"What?" As soon as she said this, Helan Ruofeng and Zi Yan looked at her at the same time.

"Why are you looking at me? Break the barrier quickly!" Yu Xiaobai didn't notice that he had let something slip.

Helan Ruofeng suppressed his doubts and used the pink crystal in his hand to attack the barrier. As he had guessed, the pink crystal stone had such a magical effect when used to attack the barrier.

Tiny cracks began to appear in the inner barrier. With the addition of Helan Ruofeng's spiritual power, the cracks grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, the entire barrier suddenly disintegrated and disappeared.

"I didn't expect pink crystal to be so magical. After returning to Yunji Villa, we will get some and store it for emergencies." Xing Fang, Mo Xiaotan and others said excitedly.

As soon as the barrier was broken, Zhou Ze immediately stepped forward and forced open the door of the house.

Everything in the main room was neatly arranged. In the side bedroom, Miss Zhu was lying quietly on the bed in a red dress, not moving at all.

"Daughter?" Mr. Zhu was about to step forward when he saw her, but was stopped by Zhou Ze.

"Miss, you were wearing ordinary clothes before, when did you change into red?" the housekeeper shouted.

After he shouted, Mr. Zhu was so frightened that he dared not move forward.

Zhou Ze walked forward to check Miss Zhu's breath. The person on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. Her pair of dark eyes were so terrifying that they seemed to suck in people's souls.

Zhou Ze was startled, and the person on the bed suddenly attacked him. Zhou Ze barely dodged, and the other person bounced up from the bed like a spring, and a pair of hands like sharp claws came towards him.

"Monster, are you the one who escaped that day?" Zhou Ze asked loudly.

"Hahahaha, you actually found me? Why are you talking so much nonsense? Come on if you want to fight?" As soon as the woman in red finished speaking, she attacked Zhou Ze frantically.

The two of them were fighting fiercely in an instant, and the master and the housekeeper were so scared that they immediately left the house.

"What happened?" the person outside asked when he saw this.

"Miss, Miss, Miss, she, she has turned into a monster." The housekeeper stuttered.

"What? Senior Brother..." It must be said that the disciples of Yunji Villa showed their unity very well.

Xing Fang was the first to draw his sword and rushed forward, and the people behind him all followed suit with their swords drawn.

Yu Xiaobai, Helan Ruofeng, and Cong Li all looked at this rare scene in amazement.

"I didn't expect them to work so well together." Yu Xiaobai said seriously.

"Even the usually indifferent Miss Zi Yan is so active." Helan Ruofeng continued.

"Aren't they like this usually?" Cong Li asked curiously.

"They usually like to form gangs or factions in Yunji Villa, fighting against each other and bullying the weak." Yu Xiaobai explained expressionlessly.

"Miss Xiaoyu, don't you need to go forward and help? Don't they all call you Junior Sister Xiaoyu?" Cong Li still asked in confusion.

"I'm not a disciple of Yunji Villa. Besides, it won't be too late to attack them when they can't beat me." Yu Xiaobai said casually.

With Zhou Ze's level of cultivation, it should be no problem for him to deal with a demon clan, not to mention that there are so many people helping him. It would be unfair to use the majority to bully the minority, so she didn't want to join in.

In fact, there is one point that Yu Xiaobai didn't say, and didn't think about it deeply, that is, she herself is a demon, and there will always be a day when she will be exposed over time. She doesn't want to make enemies for herself in advance and then be caught in a dilemma.

As expected, the woman in red was soon defeated by the crowd and escaped.

Miss Zhu collapsed limply to the ground.

The housekeeper wanted to get closer but didn't dare to, and Master Zhu was also hesitant and didn't dare to go forward.

"She's fine now. Junior Sister Mo, you girls help him up." Zhou Ze glanced at Mo Xiaotan and said.

Mo Xiaotan and Hong Ling responded and stepped forward to help Miss Su up and put her on the bed.

Miss Zhu also woke up slowly at this time, looking at the scene in front of her in confusion.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" she asked as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Do you still remember who you are?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Daughter, do you still recognize your father?" Mr. Zhu also stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"Miss, do you still recognize me? I'm Uncle Gong!" The housekeeper also stepped forward and asked.

Miss Zhu glanced at everyone's faces one by one, and then returned to Mr. Zhu.

"Dad, I recognize you, and you, Uncle Gong." Her voice was soft and she seemed very tired and weak.

"Do you remember what happened?" Zhou Ze asked again.

"Daughter, you were possessed by an evil spirit, and it was this little Taoist priest who saved you." Master Zhu said quickly.

"Why is it so cold now?" Miss Zhu touched her clothes and answered a question that was not related to the question.

"Why don't you answer the little Taoist priest's question first?" Master Zhu suddenly ordered in a serious tone.

"Dad... okay, I'll tell you." Miss Zhu seemed to have compromised.

"Half a year ago, I went to Lanyin Temple, where Lin Lang and I met and got to know each other. I met a woman in red. She said she had the same name as me, also called Zhu Ji, and that we had a connection and wanted to make friends with each other." Miss Zhu said slowly.

"What happened later?" Zhou Ze asked.

"One day she came to my house and said she wanted to borrow something from me. I thought she was just a scammer who wanted to borrow some money from me. Unexpectedly, her request was very ridiculous. She even wanted to borrow my body. I did not agree to her ridiculous request, but later." When Miss Zhu said this, the result was already clear.

"If you didn't agree, she would forcibly take over your body, right?" Zhou Ze said for her.

"That's right. Since that day, I have often been in a daze and felt sore all over when I woke up. And I always wear this red shirt. I don't like the color red and rarely leave the courtyard. What did she do to me?" Miss Zhu asked worriedly.
