Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

After Huo Ning's analysis, he felt overwhelmed and had to give up. Anyway, he would have to wait until Xi Meng woke up to find out the truth.

"Let's go, let's leave here first." Huo Ning looked at the bloodstains on the ground again and left with his men.

After leaving the scene, Ji Wu quickly returned to the cave where he was hiding. He excitedly took out two glass bottles, rubbed them in his hands, and played with them with shining eyes.

"What a great treasure! I've been itching to collect them in the past, and now they're finally in my hands." As he spoke, he opened one of them and began to carefully absorb the spirit in the bottle.

It took him a long time to absorb all the spirit in the glass bottle. Then he began to sit cross-legged and used his own demonic power to refine it for his own use.

It took two days and two nights to complete this operation.

"Ah...it feels so good. No wonder that old guy Xiao Yu likes to do this." Ji Wu's face was full of excitement. He raised his hand and struck out towards the cave.

He had never thought that by absorbing the essence of living beings, his skills could grow so fast, it was like a thousand miles a day. No wonder some monsters always like to absorb the essence of humans, monsters, and even disciples of immortals.

At this moment, he felt as if he had suddenly opened the door to a new world. For a moment, many thoughts that he usually did not dare to have broke through the constraints and popped up.

"Lord Demon King? Lord Demon King whose demonic power has not been awakened, Hu Xiu..." A strange and unpredictable smile appeared on Ji Wu's face.

Five days later, the injured and unconscious Xi Meng woke up in the City Defense Department.

As soon as she woke up, all the disciples of the Immortal Sect and even the people from the City Defense Department went to visit her. The small room was surrounded by these people in three layers, and there was no way out.

Some people are concerned about her health, while others are concerned about what happened on the night she was stabbed.

In addition to the disciples of Chonghai Sect, Huo Ning and others from Yuling Sect were also guarding her. After the doctor's repeated confirmation, Huo Ning dared to ask her what happened that night.

"Miss Ximeng, how do you feel now? Can you speak?" Huo Ning first asked about her physical condition.

"Senior Sister Ximeng, if you feel unwell, we can take care of our bodies first." Chu Yan said with a worried look on his face.

Xi Meng looked a little pale, but she was in good spirits.

She nodded, then glanced around at the people in the room and asked in confusion, "Where's Senior Sister Xiyun? Why isn't she here?"

Everyone in Chonghai Sect knew that Ximeng and Xiyun had a very good relationship. When they went out, they were always inseparable. It was not surprising that the first person she asked about when she woke up was Xiyun.

"Senior Sister Xiyun she..." Chu Yan said a few words, a sad look on his face, as if he couldn't say it and was hesitant to speak.

"Senior Sister Xiyun was killed by the demon clan." Xiyao said without hesitation.

"What? Uh..." Xi Meng was so excited that the sword wound on her body was affected, and she couldn't help but snorted.

"Senior Sister Ximeng, don't get excited. When I rushed to the alley that night, I saw that you had fainted. Senior Sister Xiyun was also stabbed and fell to the ground. She was no longer breathing." Chu Yan hurriedly said, pressing Ximeng's hand.

"Senior sister... Senior sister..." After hearing Chu Yan's words, Xi Meng began to sob softly, tears dripping down her face.

Seeing this, Huo Ning comforted her, "Miss Ximeng, Miss Xiyun is no longer with us. What we need to do is to find the demon who killed her and avenge her. Can you tell me in detail what happened that night and how you met the demon?"

Xi Meng cried intermittently for a while after hearing what Huo Ning said, and then she slowly said, "That night, my sister and I wanted to take a walk and happened to walk near that alley. Suddenly, a figure appeared and we chased after him. When we got there, we realized that we were deceived. It turned out that he had an accomplice who deliberately led us there."

"How many of them are there?" Huo Ning couldn't help but ask.

"Two people, there were two of them. Senior Sister Xiyun and I confronted them. I was no match for them and passed out after being stabbed by the sword. When I woke up, it was now." Xi Meng said, looking at the people in the room in a daze.

"So, you don't know what happened afterwards?" Huo Ning couldn't help but pursed his lips and said a little frustrated.

"Hmm..." Xi Meng nodded, and couldn't help but ask again, "How did Senior Sister Xi Yun die?"

"He was killed by a sword stab in the heart. Your sword wound was not fatal, so we rushed over and saved you." Huo Ning said again.

"I remember that at that time, he just stabbed me and made me unable to move, then he took out a glass bottle and tried to suck away my soul. If they wanted to suck our essence, they should not kill me." Xi Meng recalled.

"There were four pools of blood on the ground. I suspect someone took advantage of the fact that the two monsters were unable to split themselves and attacked them," Huo Ning analyzed.

"Senior Brother Huo, Senior Sister Ximeng just woke up. Let her have a good rest, we will go out and talk." Chu Yan reminded from the side.

"Okay, Miss Ximeng, just take care of your injuries first. I won't bother you any more." After Huo Ning said that, he stood up and said goodbye.

The patrol at this time was divided into groups of ten. Behind Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng were Chu Yan and seven other disciples of Chonghai Sect.

Among these people, there are both men and women, and their tempers are much better than Xiyun and Ximeng's.

"Ruofeng, what do you think happened that night? Two people were injured, four pools of blood, and four swords, but only one sword was stained with blood... It's quite weird, it's turned into a suspenseful incident." Yu Xiaobai discussed the attack on Ximeng with Helan Ruofeng as they walked.

"I don't know, maybe there are more than four people and four swords at the scene?" Helan Ruofeng thought in his mind and blurted out unconsciously.

"Do you suspect that there were other people at that time? Other monsters?" Yu Xiaobai was also drawn into Helan Ruofeng's thoughts.

"Well, maybe there were more than two demons at that time, maybe three, four or even more." Helan Ruofeng said.

"Then they attacked the two monsters from behind and killed Xiyun, so the bloody sword at the scene belonged to Ximeng. The reason why the other three swords were not stained with blood was because the owners of the swords had no chance to use them. Am I right?" Yu Xiaobai asked Helan Ruofeng as if asking for a reward.

"That's about it, but my guess may not be completely correct." Helan Ruofeng looked at her and smiled slightly, then stretched out his index finger and gently scratched the tip of her nose.

"Don't be like this. There are so many people here. Do you want others to scold me for having an affair?" Yu Xiaobai smiled and patted Helan Ruofeng's hand.

Behind them, Chu Yan looked normal, but he was shocked. The two of them chatted and laughed and guessed what happened that night. However, no matter how smart they were, they would not think of him.

Ever since Xiyun was attacked and killed, the public security in Hanyu City has improved a lot in the past few days, and not a single trace of the demon tribe has appeared.

Of course no demons would appear because they were all hiding.

Ji Wu was hiding in the cave, digesting the essence he had obtained, which included both human and demon essences, enough for him to digest for several days.

Jun Yao and Qiu Chu, the most proud men of the Fifth Elder Xiao Yu, have become supplements for Ji Wu to improve his cultivation. Without a leader, all the minions under the two of them have retreated to the demon world.

Cheng Feng and Qing Yu, two naive little guys, were frightened by Ji Wu and then by Chu Yan. After returning to Ming Chang Yi, they refused to come out again no matter what.

“Third Elder, you don’t know how cruel Ji Wu is. While the two were casting a spell to absorb the essence of the human race and were unable to move, he stabbed them to death from behind and also took away their demon essence.” Cheng Feng’s eyes widened and he exaggeratedly gestured the scene at that time. Just thinking about it made him feel cold in his heart.

"Third Elder, Ji Wu's sneak attack was hateful, but that disciple from the Immortal Sect was even more hateful. He killed a disciple from the Immortal Sect who was present and then put the blame on the demon clan." Qingyu also hurried forward and said.

"So, Ji Wu had only been monitoring the high priest's disciples before? And he didn't start killing people until that night?" Ming Changyi asked puzzledly.

"We didn't know this before." Qingyu said innocently.

The elders did not let them follow what happened before, so they had no way of knowing.

"You two continue..."

"Third Elder, please don't send us out again, okay? I'm afraid that I'll end up like Zhu Ji, the same..." Cheng Feng swallowed and didn't dare to say the rest. After all, Zhu Ji was the Third Elder's adopted daughter.

"Third Elder, Cheng Feng and I have never been out of the demon world before. We have not even been out of Jiuming City. Please..." Qingyu knelt down and looked at Ming Changyi with a pleading face.

Ming Changyi thought for a moment and decided not to embarrass the two of them anymore. Zhu Ji was no longer around, so why should he force Cheng Feng and Qing Yu, who had never set foot out of the demon world?

"Get up, I will arrange another way to go to the human world." Ming Changyi raised his hand and motioned Qingyu to get up.

"Third Elder, let's go out then." Qingyu asked carefully again.

"Ah..." Ming Changyi sighed and waved his hand.

Qingyu pulled Chengfeng and ran away as if they were escaping.

Ming Changyi had no choice but to call Gu Chenyang who had been following him.

"Chen Yang, go to the human world!" Ming Changyi turned around and looked at Gu Chen Yang with a complicated expression.

"I obey your command." Gu Chenyang agreed without any objection.

"You don't blame me?" Ming Changyi was a little surprised. He thought he would refuse politely or use the excuse of protecting it to shirk responsibility.

"Don't blame me. I am grateful to the elder. Zhu Ji is dead, and I want to avenge her." Gu Chenyang said in a deep voice.

Gu Chenyang, Ming Changyi's only bodyguard, grew up with Zhu Ji and they are childhood sweethearts. He is cold, arrogant, and unsociable, not good at speaking, but secretly likes Zhu Ji.

"You have been acting very calm, and I thought you didn't care about her life or death." Ming Changyi was shocked again.

"Elder, I grew up with Zhu Ji and I care about her, so I am willing to go to the human world." Gu Chenyang pleaded firmly with a cold face.

"Go, but be careful with Ji Wu. He kills his own kind to practice magic, so his power is extremely powerful. Don't conflict with him unless necessary." Ming Changyi warned.

"Okay, then I'll go right away." Gu Chenyang resolutely left Jiuming City and went to the human world.

Ming Changyi went to find Yuan Ze alone only after seeing Gu Chenyang leave.

Yuan Ze was shocked when he heard the information brought by Ming Changyi. Ten thousand years ago, the demon world had made an agreement with the gods that no demon people were allowed to step into the human world. If anyone violated the order, they would be killed without mercy.

Over the past ten thousand years, unless necessary, few demons have set foot in the human world. Even if they do, they will use various methods to conceal their own breath and go and come back secretly.

Xiao Yu was so bold as to release a large number of demons into the human world, killing humans to increase his cultivation, and even dared to kill demons.

"I didn't expect Xiao Yu to be so bold and presumptuous. He wants to put my demon clan to death." Yuan Ze roared angrily.

"Not only Xiao Yu, but even Hu Xiu's people are doing it secretly." Ming Changyi added.

"You said Ji Wu is Hu Xiu's man? He is now targeting the high priest's apprentice? The high priest's apprentice is the new owner of the Huo Dou?" Yuan Ze has now returned to the point and turned the focus back to finding the Demon King.

"That's right. I sent Cheng Feng and Qing Yu out before. They were scared by Ji Wu and refused to go to the human world again. Today, Gu Chenyang has already gone to the human world. If we follow this line and investigate, I believe he will have news soon." Ming Changyi said hurriedly, afraid that Yuan Ze would yell at him again.

"Sang Zi said that the New Moon High Priest once saved a girl from his hands, and the girl was carrying a Pi Lingzhu." Yuan Ze told Ming Changyi the news he knew.

"You are doubting..." Ming Changyi looked at Yuan Ze uncertainly.

"If that girl is the disciple of the New Moon High Priest, and she happens to be carrying the Pi Lingzhu, and her spirit beast happens to be the Demon King's evil beast..." Yuan Ze's suspicion no longer needs to be stated.

"Do you suspect that the girl is the carrier of the Demon King's rebirth? Since the Demon King has been reborn, why doesn't he return to the demon world? Instead, he uses the Pi Lingzhu to cover up his breath, worships a fairy from the immortal sect as his master, and hides in the human world?" Ming Changyi expressed his opinion on the matter.

Logically speaking, the Demon King had experienced the pain of burning silence and turned into ashes, and was destined not to come back.

But at that time, the demon king's friend in the God Realm, Lord Cangmo, used some unknown method to find the legendary Soul Gathering Pill. After many hardships, he collected the scattered fragments of the demon king's soul and sent them to the Netherworld Jiuyuan, and predicted that the demon king would return to the demon world in ten thousand years.

Now that ten thousand years have passed, their five elders have secretly sent people to search for the Demon King. Before this, the Demon King was reborn in some strange images, such as plants, sea creatures, flying things in the sky, and running things on the ground, but they were all tangible without soul.

Lord Cangmo once said that the only way for the Demon King to slowly collect and repair his shattered soul is through constant reincarnation and rebirth.

Before the real Demon King returns, if they want to help her, they can follow her reincarnation trajectory to help her collect the fragments of her soul, and at the same time they can also collect her scattered demonic power.

They had not taken it seriously before, and only started searching for the Demon King in the last hundred years.

Originally, through the demonic power collected earlier, I could still sense the location of the Demon King. Until four years ago, the Demon King's aura suddenly disappeared from the Three Realms and could no longer be sensed.

Two years ago, Hei Yu suddenly discovered the breath of the Demon King again in the new moon, but it was only for a moment, and then it was gone.

"Apart from this reason, how else can you explain all this? The Huodou is not an ordinary spiritual pet. It is ferocious and cruel by nature, but very loyal to its master." Yuan Ze analyzed.

"Although Huo Dou has been protecting his master, tens of thousands of years have passed. It is truly loyal to change his master every ten thousand years." Ming Changyi couldn't help but sigh.

"Ming Changyi, why do you always fail to grasp the key point when you look at the problem? Am I telling you about Huodou's loyalty?" Yuan Ze was very angry and asked angrily.

"I know what you mean. You suspect that girl is the Demon King, right? You suspect that girl is the Demon King, right? I know." Ming Changyi's tone softened immediately when he saw Yuan Ze was angry.

"Since you have already suspected it, then send people out to investigate. With a target, manpower and clues, are you still afraid that you won't be able to find out the truth of the matter?" Ming Changyi said again with a good temper.
