Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

The two tigers' four legs were trembling, and they could not move at all in front of Hei Duo. The two kings of beasts were killed by Hei Duo one by one.

After eating, Heiduo shivered and turned back into a small one, happily running to Yu Xiaobai. He looked at her with innocent eyes, as if the cruel guy just now was not him.

"Now that you're full, can we go back home?" Yu Xiaobai asked Hei Duo with a resentful look on her face.

"We can go back now, master. Do you need me to help you shoot two pheasants?" Hei Duo suddenly said in a flattering manner.

"Yes, yes, the more the better!" Yu Xiaobai said happily when he heard that he wanted to help him hunt.

"I didn't expect that spiritual pets could have this function." Zi Yan said enviously.

"If you meet a cute one next time, I will help you catch one." Yu Xiaobai said naturally.

After a while, Heiduo came running over quickly. He transformed into a human body, holding a pheasant in one hand and a rabbit in the other, and ran to Yu Xiaobai as if offering a treasure.

In this way, the three of them returned to the hunter camp happily.

Yu Xiaobai handed the prey caught by Heiduo to Lao Sun, and she and Zi Yan joined everyone's skiing competition.

This was the first time for both of them to play with the people who had bullied them in the past, and it didn't seem so bad after all.

After getting tired of playing, everyone built a bonfire in the middle of the venue, and some people went to help Lao Sun clean the game.

The hunters nearby all came out to chat with them. Ah Zuo led the playful male disciples to pluck chicken feathers, while the female disciples talked around the fire.

Zhou Ze sat quietly by the fire, watching them play happily.

In a cave not far away, Helan Ruofeng and Cong Li also caught prey. Since neither of them knew how to roast a chicken, Cong Li suggested cleaning the pheasant and cooking it in the alchemy furnace.

So they got to work. They quickly cleaned the pheasant, set up the stove, put it in and started working.

"Will the chicken cooked this way taste good?" Helan Ruofeng asked, staring at the stove.

"It will definitely be delicious. This is my master's precious alchemy furnace. The pills refined from it have extraordinary effects. I believe the roast chicken made from it will be equally special." Cong Li said confidently.

"Helan, hurry up and work harder. When the master and old lady Bu wake up, you can eat delicious roast chicken." Cong Li kept urging Helan Ruofeng to use his spiritual power to stimulate the fire.

"Cong Li, don't be anxious. I haven't stopped yet, right?" Helan Ruofeng said anxiously.

"I smell the fragrance, a little bigger." Cong Li urged.

Sure enough, the aroma of chicken wafted out from the furnace.

Bai Qiyang, who was sleeping soundly beside him, sniffed and woke up.

The same went for Taibu Xingjun, who opened his eyes when he smelled the scent.

Just when Cong Li was delighted and thought that he could eat the chicken soon, there was a loud "bang" and the alchemy furnace on the fire suddenly exploded.

The cave was instantly filled with the aroma of chicken, and the fragments of the furnace were scattered everywhere. The chicken turned into powder and evenly spread in every corner of the cave.

Helan Ruofeng and Cong Li were both stunned by this sudden scene.

The two of them stared at the furnace that suddenly disappeared from the fire in a state of shock. You looked at me, I looked at you, and couldn't even speak.

"Cong Li, my good disciple, what happened?" Bai Qiyang hurriedly got up and walked forward to check.

Taibu Xingjun also stood up with a silly look on his face and walked in front of the two of them.

Cong Li didn't understand what he did wrong. It was just roasting a few pheasants, so why did it explode all of a sudden?

"Hahaha..." Helan Ruofeng looked at Cong Li in front of him, only to see that his clean and white cheeks were burned red, and there were some muscle fragments on his head.

"Hahaha..." Cong Li didn't care about the pain on his face and pointed at Helan Ruofeng and laughed.

Helan Ruofeng touched his head and felt something sticky, then he realized that he was not spared either.

Bai Qiyang bent down and sniffed Cong Li's head, then looked at the fragments on the ground, slapped his forehead, and was completely speechless.

"What are you doing? Using Immortal Xiaobai's alchemy furnace to roast a chicken? And then it exploded?" The old fortune teller asked the two of them.

"Uh-huh……"

Helan Ruofeng and Cong Li nodded innocently in response.

"..." Seeing the two of them like this, Taibu Xingjun didn't know whether to say they were stupid or too smart.

Bai Qiyang reacted quickly and dug out his bottles and jars to find medicine to treat the burns of the two.

He didn't understand why Taibu Xingjun had to drag them through the snow forest with great effort. Wouldn't it be better to just teleport directly?

The next scene is Taibu Xingjun and Bai Qiyang each applying burn medicine to their beloved disciples.

"Master, I originally wanted to roast a chicken to show my filial piety to you, but I didn't expect to destroy the alchemy furnace you gave me." Cong Li said self-reproachfully.

"Don't move." Bai Qiyang didn't care about the alchemy furnace. He concentrated on applying medicine to Cong Li while blowing gently towards the burnt area on his forehead.

The cool air blew on Cong Li's forehead, as if blowing into his heart, making his heart beat wildly again.

"Master...Master, let me do it myself!" Cong Li took the ointment from Bai Qiyang's hand awkwardly and ran out of the cave.

"Why did my good disciple run away? He looked like I wanted to eat him. Didn't I blame him?" Bai Qiyang said blankly with an innocent expression.

In the same way, Taibu Xingjun also focused on applying medicine and blowing air on Helan Ruofeng. Helan Ruofeng closed his eyes obediently and let him do whatever he wanted, just like a picture of a good relationship between a grandfather and a grandson.

Outside the cave, Cong Li touched his chest with one hand, his whole face flushed red. He didn't understand why some of his master's unintentional actions recently always made his heart beat faster and his whole body hot.

He even wondered if something was wrong with him. He didn't know if he would die. He still wanted to go back to Biluohai to see his parents! What a simple Cong Li!

The demon world at this time

The seriously injured Sang Zi lay expressionless on the bed. Zhu Ji's last words before her death kept echoing in his ears, and the voice of resurrecting Hei Yu could not be shaken off.

There was another bed beside him, on which lay Hei Yu, who was lying silently. There was a lamp beside Hei Yu's pillow, which contained the human essence that Zhu Ji had collected for him and his damaged soul.

"How is he? Is he in danger?" Yuan Ze asked the demon doctor kneeling beside him in a low voice with a stern face.

"Replying to the Great Elder, Envoy Sang Ling is not in danger of death, but his demon essence has been severely damaged and he will need a long time to recover."

"Where is Heiyu?" Yuan Ze glanced at Heiyu who had no breath.

"The Black Feather Envoy has, has, his demonic energy has been completely destroyed. There is no hope for him to be saved." The demon doctor said cautiously.

Yuan Ze sighed heavily and looked at Sang Zi.

"Great Elder..." Sang Zi said three words weakly.

"You should take good care of your injuries first. I will arrange other people to find the Demon King. As for Heiyu, you can handle it yourself after you recover!" Yuan Ze said after thinking it over.

Yuan Ze was also confused. As one of the five elders of the demon world, he had the ambition to be the only one in power. However, being the only one in power under the constraints of the God Realm was not fun at all.

"Take good care of him." Yuan Ze said and left the house.

"Great Elder..." Fu Yue, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, saluted.

"Go to Jiuming City." After Yuan Ze said this, he quickly walked out of Sangzi's residence without waiting for Fu Yue to react.

Jiuming City is the lair of Ming Changyi, the third elder of the demon world. Ever since the five elders of the demon world fell apart, Yuan Ze has never set foot in this place again.

When Ming Changyi learned that Yuan Ze was visiting, he began to feel suspicious.

When he learned that Xiao Yugang had visited Yuan Ze, Yuan Ze sent Hei Yu to the human world, and he immediately asked his adopted daughter Zhu Ji to follow him secretly. Now there is no news about the demon king, and even his adopted daughter Zhu Ji has no news at all.

"I didn't know why Elder Yuan suddenly came to my Jiuming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Ming Changyi came out to greet him politely.

"You and I haven't seen each other for thousands of years. Why are you so polite when we meet?" Yuan Ze didn't beat around the bush with Ming Changyi and asked directly.

Ming Changyi's face froze, but he smiled and said, "It's been a while since I last saw Elder Yuan, so I have to be polite."

Yuan Ze didn't look at his fake smile and walked straight into the hall.

Seeing him like this, Ming Changyi could no longer hold back and could only follow him into the hall.

Yuan Ze found a seat and sat down, looking at Ming Changyi with a gloomy face.

Ming Changyi felt uneasy when he looked at him. In the past, they assisted the Demon King in ruling the demon world together. They were both colleagues and brothers.

If they had not fallen out later due to power struggles, he would still respect the person in front of him very much.

"Elder Ming, if I remember correctly, Zhu Ji is your adopted daughter, right?" Yuan Ze asked Ming Changyi coldly.

Ming Changyi was stunned by his question. Why did he suddenly mention Zhu Ji? Did his people find out that Zhu Ji was following them? How should he answer so as not to cause a conflict?

"Zhu Ji is dead. Her spirit exploded after being injected with the demon pill." Yuan Ze said without giving Ming Changyi time to think.

"What? She was just following you. How could your people be so cruel?" When Ming Changyi heard that Zhu Ji was dead, he immediately flew into a rage. He jumped up and yelled at Yuan Ze, pointing at his nose.

Yuan Ze was not angry at his rudeness, and continued coldly: "Half a year ago, a group of people with unknown origins attacked Hei Yu, causing his soul to be shattered and die."

"What..." Ming Changyi didn't know why Yuan Ze told him this, and why was Heiyu dead?

"You know that Zhu Ji and Hei Yu are in love, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't let Zhu Ji follow Hei Yu." Yuan Ze continued affirmatively.

"Nonsense, how would I know that Zhu Ji has feelings for Hei Yu?" Ming Changyi retorted directly.

"Zhu Ji has feelings for Hei Yu, and she believed that the essence of human men could repair Hei Yu's damaged soul. That's why she killed human men in the human world, which attracted the people from the Immortal Sect to set up a formation to kill her." After Yuan Ze finished speaking, his eyes stared at Ming Changyi like an eagle.

"Do you know who attacked Heiyu? Tell me if you know. I want to see who doesn't want to see the Demon King return so much, and who is so determined to kill his own people in order to prevent the Demon King from being reborn..." Yuan Ze approached step by step and suddenly shouted.

Ming Changyi was startled by Yuan Ze's sudden anger. After he reacted, he stepped back in panic.

"I don't know..." Ming Changyi yelled at Yuan Ze.

Both of them were like mad hounds, staring at each other, trying to find the flaws in each other's eyes.

"I just told Zhu Ji to follow Heiyu and see what you arranged him to do. You and I have been working together as elders of the demon clan for tens of thousands of years. I am not as strong as you, and I don't have as many subordinates as you. How can I compete with you?" Ming Changyi finally compromised and slowly moved his eyes away from Yuan Ze.

Yuan Ze snorted coldly but said nothing.

"Zhu Ji hasn't contacted me for more than half a year. I didn't expect that she would do such a ridiculous thing. I just heard from you that she died of an elixir explosion. I was already feeling sad, and you actually suspected that I sent someone to attack Hei Yu." Ming Changyi defended himself earnestly.

"Since it's not you, then do you have someone you suspect in your mind?" Yuan Ze knew in his heart that the person who attacked Heiyu was not sent by Ming Changyi.

If Ming Changyi wanted to harm Heiyu, Zhu Ji alone could easily do it, so there was no need for him to go to the trouble of sending new people.

"The person who suspects? Who would do this? Could it be... Xiao Yu?" The first person Ming Changyi thought of was him.

Xiao Yu was the least qualified of the five elders. The original fifth elder was his uncle Xiao Jue. If Xiao Jue had not colluded with Meng Jiao to rebel against the demon world, Xiao Yu would have had no chance to join the ranks of the five elders.

"Xiao Yu? He did meet me before Heiyu left for the human world. At that time, his attitude towards welcoming back the Demon King was also vague, but this does not mean that he plotted against Heiyu." Yuan Ze said after thinking for a while.

"There are also Hu Xiu and Bi Cangyan. Bi Cangyan has always remained neutral on the issue of our separatism, and his attitude towards welcoming back the Demon King is ambiguous. Hu Xiu? Hu Xiu is the most unpredictable person. Could it be him?" Ming Changyi paced back and forth, analyzing seriously.

"Now our guesses alone will lead to no results. Why don't you send someone to secretly monitor their actions?" Yuan Ze said to Ming Changyi.

"Just trust me. I'll send someone to keep an eye on them." Ming Changyi replied.

"What is your attitude towards welcoming back the Demon King?" Yuan Ze asked again before leaving.

"My Lord Demon King is the lord of our demon world, so naturally I fully support him. Moreover, if we have my Lord Demon King in charge, will we still have to be bullied by the God World, dare not resist, and hide here like turtles?" Ming Changyi's words expressed a clear attitude.

"Okay, remember what you said, don't do anything behind my back in the future." After saying this, Yuan Ze walked away domineeringly.

"How could I, Ming Changyi, regret what I said?" Ming Changyi looked at Yuan Ze who was walking away and did not go out to see him off. Instead, he slumped in the chair beside him.

"Zhu Ji, you really made your adoptive father proud..." As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. How could he not feel sad that the daughter he had raised was gone?

The real person behind the scenes is not so simple. The person who attacked Hei Yu was sent by Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu also has an ally - Hu Xiu.

Hu Xiu was a sinister person who spoke little, and that was only his later appearance. When the Demon King was still alive, Hu Xiu was still a kind and amiable old man who was friendly to everyone and easy to get along with.

After the Demon King Fen Ji, the two guardians were sealed by the God Realm one after another, and his ambition was revealed at that time. I don't know what conditions he used to persuade the God Realm to interfere in the internal affairs of the Demon Realm. This caused a rift between several elders, and they fought each other, and finally each of them established their own territories and stopped communicating with each other.

After the demon world collapsed, the great elder Yuan Ze was the strongest but he only defended one side.

The third elder Ming Changyi also restrained his own people and rarely went out to cause trouble.

The fourth elder, Bi Cangyan, is aloof and aloof, and lives his life in seclusion.

Only the ambitious Xiao Yu was unwilling to be relegated to one side, and joined forces with Hu Xiu, who shared the same interests with him.
