Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"That's more like it. Sang Zi has already gone to the human world. He is determined to help Zhu Ji resurrect Hei Yu. I didn't tell him that there is a Jupo Divine Pill in this world because I wanted him to concentrate on finding the Demon King first." Yuan Ze said to Ming Changyi with a cold face.

"Heiyu? Is he the subordinate that Zhu Ji likes? Didn't he die?" Ming Changyi asked in surprise.

"That's right, his soul and spirit were completely destroyed, just like the Demon King Fen Ji back then. However, Zhu Ji used the Soul Gathering Lamp to trap a piece of his soul, and tried to use a human soul to repair it, which led to the Immortal Sect's siege and killing." Yuan Ze explained.

"Then do you know if there is any Soul Gathering Pill in these three realms?" Ming Changyi suddenly asked. If there is, he will help him find it, which would also be considered as fulfilling his daughter's last wish.

"How would I know that it was Lord Cangmo who saved the Demon King back then, and it was he who found the Soul Gathering Pill. Lord Cangmo has long passed away, and it's not even certain whether the Soul Gathering Pill really exists in this world." Yuan Ze said angrily while looking at Ming Changyi.

This Ming Changyi, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, still can't distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and can't tell the big from the small. Now the matter of the Demon King is the most important, but he is thinking about the Soul Gathering Pill. Could he be thinking of using it to resurrect his adopted daughter?

"I don't know, forget it. I'll go find it myself. Goodbye."

Ming Changyi strode away from Yuan Ze's territory.

New Moon Imperial City, Lan Mansion...

Today's Lan Mansion, the former residence of the New Moon High Priest Lan Moqiu, was formerly called the Priest's Mansion, and the door plaque was changed a month ago.

Lan Moqiu originally wanted to move away as soon as possible, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, but he was worried that someone who had lost his memory would like crowds, so he reluctantly changed the Priest's Mansion to the Lan Mansion.

He has a lot of free time now, and every day he either reads books or teaches Aji various divination techniques.

At this time, Aji was almost as tall as his shoulder and looked like a little adult, but he had made little progress in divination and cultivation.

Lan Moqiu could only sigh at the importance of talent, as not everyone can achieve results just by working hard.

Soon, spring passed, and the summer heat was slowly approaching the Crescent Imperial City.

Ah Ji couldn't help but ask Lan Moqiu: "Junior Sister Xiaoyu has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet? Are there so many monsters to catch in Hanxing Country?"

"I don't know..." Lan Moqiu lay lazily on a chair in the yard.

A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly closed, and a round fan covered the section above the nose, revealing only the beautifully shaped thin lips and the extremely graceful jawline.

"So, sir, are you joking about marrying Junior Sister Xiaoyu?" Seeing that he was in a good mood today, Aji asked tentatively.

"What do you think?" Lan Moqiu asked back softly.

"Sir, if you really marry Junior Sister Xiaoyu, then Aji will have to call her Madam Xiaoyu?" Aji said, his lips drooping involuntarily.

He had finally managed to become a senior brother. If the high priest really married Junior Sister Xiaoyu, then he would be demoted again.

"Hehe..." Lan Moqiu was amused by his words. She took off the round fan from her face, sat up, and looked at him in a daze and smiled.

"Do you still want to go back to your hometown?" Seeing Aji's puzzled face, Lan Moqiu asked seriously.

"Yes, but Aji doesn't want to leave you, adults." After hearing Lan Moqiu's question, Aji was happy at first, but then he said with a sad face.

"Can't bear to part with me? Sometimes people must know how to make choices and give up..." Lan Moqiu whispered while looking at the sky, as if he was talking to Aji, or also as if he was talking to himself.

"Aji doesn't understand..." Aji looked at Lan Moqiu with a confused face.

Lan Moqiu ignored him, slowly covered his face with the round fan and closed his eyes.

It is said that Ji Zhang went to the Crescent Moon Imperial City to look for the portrait of the high priest, but he found nothing after searching for a long time.

He went to many art shops and study rooms to buy the portrait of the high priest as a pretext of worship, but no shop had it.

He spent a large sum of money to hire a painter, and asked the people who had seen the high priest to describe what the high priest looked like. However, the paintings turned out to be different for each person, and each person described something different.

Ji Zhang believed that the high priest must have used some kind of shapeshifting technique, which made people who had seen him remember his appearance differently.

He simply thought of breaking into the Priest's Mansion directly, but found that the barrier of the Priest's Mansion was comparable to the Mixu Realm, and he could not enter at all with his cultivation level.

After some twists and turns, Ji Zhang thought of another way. There was a reason why the high priest used his transformed form in front of the people. But he wouldn't do that in front of Xin Yue and the other courtiers, right? After all, they would meet frequently.

So, he turned his target to the officials of Xinyue. After visiting for many days, he finally stole Lan Moqiu's portrait from the home of a civil official who liked to paint figures.

After getting the portrait, Ji Zhang finally hurried back to the demon world.

The moment Hu Xiu spread out the portrait, all his previous guesses and doubts were confirmed.

The high priest of Xinyue looks exactly like the god Cangmo who suddenly disappeared ten thousand years ago.

His only disciple carries the Pi Lingzhu which can conceal the evil spirit. The girl carrying the Pi Lingzhu is the master of Huo Dou.

"Are you sure this is the high priest of Xinyue?" Hu Xiu asked suspiciously.

"I am sure that the official is very keen on painting people, and he likes to paint those with handsome appearance. I asked his servants, and he is indeed the high priest of the New Moon." Ji Zhang said affirmatively.

After he stole the portrait, in order to verify the identity of the person in the painting, he used the magic of hypnosis to question many people, and they all said with certainty that the person in the painting was the High Priest of the Crescent Moon.

"Lord Cangmo and the Demon King were once close friends. The prophecy that the Demon King would be reborn ten thousand years later was also made by him. I heard that this Lord Cangmo had already passed away, but I don't know whether it is true or not." Hu Xiu recalled the events of the past seriously.

"If it was really the guy who found the reborn Demon King before us and found the Pi Lingzhu for her, that's not right... why did he hide the fact that the Demon King was reborn? Did he already know that we would do something bad to the Demon King?" Hu Xiu was overwhelmed for a moment and had to start thinking about the news behind closed doors.

Hanyu Castle...

Xiao Yu's two capable subordinates, Jun Yao and Qiu Chu, suddenly disappeared, which made him feel very uneasy. He decided to go to Hanyu City in person to investigate the matter.

Xiao Yu was a sinister and cunning person, and his methods were cruel. This time he not only went out himself, but also brought dozens of low-level monsters that he could mobilize.

These men were all brave and good at fighting, but their intelligence was not high, so they could only obey Xiao Yu's orders. In this way, Xiao Yu set out with a team.

His appearance made the entire Hanyu City and even the people in the surrounding villages and towns panic.

Facing the threat from Xiao Yu and his group of demons, Huo Ning did not back down. Instead, he sent a message directly to Chan City to seek support, hoping that the head of the sect would send more people to fight against Xiao Yu.

After receiving the news, Chancheng immediately sent a large number of disciples from the Yuling Sect to settle in Hanyu City.

At the same time, other immortal cultivation sects also responded. The five major immortal cultivation sects, Xiaoyao Sect, Haiyi Pavilion, Biqiong Pavilion, Xiaoyao Sect, and Yunji Villa, all sent disciples to help.

Not only that, some slightly smaller immortal sects also joined the battle.

Such as Xuanxin Sect, Qingyang Gate, Ziluo Palace, etc., although they are small in scale, they also have considerable strength.

The addition of these immortal sects made Hanyu City the place for confrontation between Xiao Yu and the immortal sects.

A fierce battle is about to begin, and both sides are ready to go all out.

After years of slaughtering humans and demons to practice magic, Xiao Yu's cultivation has reached an immeasurable height.

He had never competed with any masters before, so this time in the human world, it was a good opportunity to test the waters.

As expected, as soon as he arrived in the human world, he went straight to the City Defense Department to provoke the people from the Immortal Sect.

"I heard that you, a bunch of rabble, gathered here to kill my demon people?"

Xiao Yu was hanging high in the open space outside the City Defense Department, looking at the crowd below with contempt, as if in his eyes, these people were just a group of ants.

A powerful demonic aura emanated from him, making the air around him heavy.

Nearly a hundred disciples of the immortal sect had gathered outside the city defense department at this time. They all came to kill the demons. When they saw Xiao Yu appear, they all drew their swords and pointed them at him, their eyes full of vigilance and hostility.

"You bold monster, you have such a big mouth and dare to speak so arrogantly. Do you know the agreement between the God Realm and the Demon Realm? If any demon sets foot in the human world, we will kill you on the spot!" Huo Ning asked loudly in the crowd, his voice filled with anger and hatred.

"Just you two, a bunch of useless greenhorns?" Xiao Yu laughed arrogantly, with a look of disdain on his face.

He swept his eyes over the disciples of the Immortal Sect in front of him, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule. To him, these younger generations of the Immortal Sect were not worth mentioning at all.

Xiao Yu was well aware of his own strength. He had once single-handedly killed the previous elder and thus ascended to his current position.

And these disciples of the immortal sect are just the young generations who have just started out. How could he take them seriously?

Looking at these immortal sect disciples in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head. These people together were not as difficult as the previous five elders.

"I say, Senior Brother Huo from the Yuling Sect, why bother talking to him? Just kill him and get rid of this harm to the people." Ao San from the Zi Luo Palace suddenly jumped out and said bluntly.

This Ao San is a rising star who is as famous as Zhou Ze and Gu Yunnuo, so naturally he has the ability to be arrogant.

"Young Master Ao San is right. Don't waste time talking to him and just take action." Yun Fan from Haiyi Pavilion also quickly echoed.

"Come on, come and kill me!" Xiao Yu opened his arms arrogantly and shouted at them provocatively.

Huo Ning hated the demons in the first place. Over the past year, he had been fighting with them and had seen too many scenes of demons killing humans.

Provoked by Xiao Yu at this moment, he suddenly became furious and ordered the disciples of the Yuling Sect to attack Xiao Yu without hesitation.

In an instant, the disciples of the Immortal Sect, the soldiers of the City Defense Bureau and the people of the Demon Clan were caught in a melee, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

All kinds of strange magic and sorcery frequently appeared in the battle, and the sounds of various weapons colliding made for a while of fighting.

On this day, Yu Xiaobai and Helan Ruofeng walked slowly from the inn, playing and joking along the way.

"You just said that whoever finishes eating first will win, and what should the loser do?" Yu Xiaobai pulled Helan Ruofeng's sleeve with one hand and shook it gently.

"Got it." Helan Ruofeng smiled, gently lifted his robe and half squatted down.

"That's right." Yu Xiaobai lay on his back familiarly.

Helan Ruofeng gently carried Yu Xiaobai on his back and walked slowly.

"Ruofeng, do you want to hear a story?" Yu Xiaobai asked tentatively. After spending these days together, she felt more and more that she couldn't live without this guy.

They lived in the same inn. In the morning, when she just woke up, he had prepared toiletries for her and boiled hot water.

He would wait outside her door like a waiter, and when she was eating, he would always remember what she liked and hated.

He no longer said those inexplicable words that bothered her. He spoke to her carefully, as if she were a friend, but protected her with the care and love he would give to his beloved.

The climate in Hanyu City is very cold, so cold that sometimes Yu Xiaobai feels scared.

This is a different world, she has no relatives or friends here. Her sense of belonging is not here, including the High Priest's Mansion in the New Moon Imperial City.

Therefore, for a long time, she always regarded Lan Moqiu, the first person she saw when she woke up, as her home.

However, after these days, her heart is slowly changing.

She thought Lan Moqiu was her final destination, so she treated her beloved Helan Ruofeng with a playful attitude.

Because he is not fickle, he has a home and parents, that's the difference between him and her.

She seemed to like him very much, but at the same time, she was a little jealous. Not only did he have parents, he also had the noble Taibu Xingjun from the God Realm as his master. He also had a handsome appearance and excellent cultivation talent, as well as a kind, intelligent and pure heart.

Who doesn't want beautiful things in this world?

"Go ahead and talk. I'm listening." Yu Xiaobai's breath felt warm on his neck, and Helan Ruofeng was in a very happy mood.

"Okay, then I'll start talking. You have to listen carefully because I want to test you." Yu Xiaobai said seriously.

"Yeah!" Helan Ruofeng responded.

"It is said that a long time ago, a famous demon sect appeared in the martial arts world. Their leader was called Dongfang Bubai..."

Yu Xiaobai carefully recalled the plots in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", selected the story of how Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong met, and told it to Helan Ruofeng after some modification.

The story goes something like this: Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong, without knowing each other's true identities, became close friends due to drinking.

They indulged in fine wine, sang and laughed, looked at life with an open mind, talked and laughed, and joined hands to fight against the evil people who oppressed the weak.

This is such a wonderful and happy world, however, the turning point of fate comes at this moment.

Ren Woxing, the mortal enemy of Dongfang Bubai, appeared and revealed Dongfang Bubai's true identity as the leader of a cult in front of Linghu Chong.

As Linghu Chong is the leader of a famous and upright sect, many people behind him are expecting him to lead everyone to eliminate the great evil Dongfang Bubai in one fell swoop.

"Did they fight?" Helan Ruofeng couldn't help but ask.

"Please listen to what I have to say first!" Yu Xiaobai patted his shoulder and continued speaking.

Before the war began, Dongfang Bubai asked Linghu Chong whether Linghu Chong had ever been sincere to him before his identity was revealed.

Linghu Chong looked at Dongfang Bubai expressionlessly. Although he had thousands of words in his mind, he still resolutely answered "no".

When Dongfang Bubai heard this answer, a trace of despair and pain flashed in his eyes.

He stared at Linghu Chong silently, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance into his heart. He only said two words - very good...

Just like that, the two of them attacked at the same time, starting a life-and-death battle.

Judging from their respective fighting strengths, it would be easy for Dongfang Bubai to kill Linghu Chong.
