Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"When Xiao Yu came to power, he plotted to murder the previous elder Xiao Jue. At that time, the five elders were acting independently and no one cared about his affairs. I thought the demon race was doomed, but today I saw that you got such a rare ten thousand year demon pill, but you didn't think of using it to improve your own cultivation, but used it to save Hei Yu. I think there is still hope for our demon race. You must practice diligently in the future and strive to take over my position as soon as possible, so that I can rest my old bones."

This was the first time that Yuan Ze mentioned the candidate for the next elder. Sang Zi felt flattered. He was only eight thousand years old. How could he, so young, be capable of taking on such a big responsibility?

"You don't have to belittle yourself. You are kind-hearted. In the future, you will definitely be able to assist the Demon King and protect the demon people. You are not as insidious and cunning as Hu Xiu and Xiao Yu. They harbor evil thoughts and will eventually suffer the consequences." Yuan Ze continued.

"Sang Zi's cultivation is still shallow, and I have never thought about becoming an elder. I just want to help the elders find the Demon King as soon as possible and restore the status of my demon clan in the Three Realms as soon as possible." Sang Zi immediately said modestly.

What he said was true. With his level of cultivation, if he managed to become an elder, people like Hu Xiu and Xiao Yu would definitely eat him up.

"You said you hurt Ji Wu? Did he know your identity?" Yuan Ze suddenly asked worriedly.

"No, I used the illusion technique, and he was absorbing the demon essence of the fifth elder at that time and could not be distracted." Sang Zi said.

"This Ji Wu looks a little stupid, but I didn't expect that he has such a scheming mind. You must be careful with him in the future." Yuan Ze warned carefully.

"I'll remember this, Elder, Heiyu..." Sang Zi said, and looked at Heiyu again.

"The magic power of this ten thousand year old magic pill can protect his body from being damaged for a while, and the soul gathering lamp can also collect his damaged soul. I think he will wake up sooner or later, it's just a matter of time." Yuan Ze said, stroking his beard.

"As long as he can wake up." Sang Zi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yuan Ze's words.

After Ji Wu was seriously injured by Sang Zi, he had been hiding in an ice cave in the sea. He didn't get any medicine for his injuries, so the only way was to continue to suck Xiao Yu's demon essence clean.

After some tossing and turning, Ji Wu's body was finally repaired a little, but he still didn't dare to leave the ice cave easily.

He knew that his injuries had not fully recovered yet, and if he ventured out, he would probably encounter greater danger, so he decided to stay in the ice cave and wait for his body to recover further.

The temperature in the ice cave was extremely low and freezing, but for Ji Wu, it was an ideal environment. The low temperature could help him stop bleeding and slow down the deterioration of the wound.

Ji Wu's luck seemed to be pretty good. There was a passage hidden under the ice cave that Xiao Yu chose, leading directly to the bottom of the sea. This passage became the key to his obtaining food.

Ji Wu gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain in his body. He used Xiao Yu's blood as bait to attract a group of ferocious fish to come for food. He then killed these fish to solve his own food and clothing problems.

In this way, Ji Wu recuperated in this way for quite a few days. As his physical condition gradually improved, he decided to return to the demon world cautiously.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people, especially on self-righteous smart people like Ji Wu.

Just as Ji Wu walked out of the ice cave, a huge and terrifying figure appeared in front of him, frightening him so much that he almost collapsed to the ground.

Ji Wu stared at the huge creature in front of him with his eyes wide open. It was tens of meters tall, like a giant square kite, with a tail covered with barbs at the bottom.

The monster exuded a strong murderous aura. Its eyes and mouth were located at the top. When it opened its mouth, two long and thin fangs could be seen.

"Who are you?" Ji Wu shouted.

"How dare you! Who are you?" The monster also shouted like Ji Wu, and pointed with a slender hand.

Ji Wu was frightened by it's pointing finger and took a few steps back. His injuries had not healed yet, so it was not suitable for him to fight with it again.

"I'll deal with him, get out of here quickly." With a shout, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of Ji Wu and stretched out his hand to protect him behind him.

"Brother?" Ji Wu looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"Let you go first..." Ji Zhang shouted, jumped into the air, raised an iron chain in his hand and attacked the monster.

Ji Wu obeyed Ji Zhang's words without thinking and hurriedly fled to the coast.

When the monster saw Ji Zhang attacking it, its flat body seemed to be about to collapse, and it bounced directly, sending Ji Zhang flying far away.

"Brother..." Ji Wu shouted worriedly when he saw Ji Zhang being beaten.

"Didn't you hear me telling you to go?" Ji Zhang dodged the monster's attack in a panic and yelled at Ji Wu.

Seeing that it had missed Ji Zhang, the monster turned its huge body flexibly and swung its slender hand directly towards Ji Zhang. The hand was thin and long, up to four or five meters long, with only three fingers of the same thickness, and it swept towards Ji Zhang so swiftly.

Ji Zhang jumped up and barely avoided the sweep. He turned nimbly and swung the chain in his hand, wrapping around the monster's wrist.

Seeing this, the monster raised its hands and spun them in the air. Ji Zhang held on to the chain tightly and was carried by the chain in the air for several circles, and was almost thrown out.

Ji Wu was terrified watching from the shore, and he regretted that he couldn't help Ji Zhang because of his injury. He shouldn't have been so careless and didn't guess that someone was following him secretly.

The fight between the monster and Ji Zhang became more and more intense. The little sirens around the sea came out one after another to watch the fight and started to make loud noises.

After a while, a beautiful and ethereal woman suddenly appeared. She yelled, "Stop!" and the monster quickly retreated to her side.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Meng Jiao shouted.

She just wanted to live in seclusion on the sea with Little Bear and Grandma Zhang, without being disturbed by the world. She didn't expect that someone would come here to disturb her peace.

"We ended up here not intentionally to disturb them, but this monster insisted on pestering my brother and me." Ji Zhang explained immediately.

"My guards are bothering you? My waters have never welcomed outsiders. Since you have broken in, they will naturally cause trouble for you." Meng Jiao's face was cold. She didn't believe that these two people were good people at all.

"We really didn't mean to break in. As long as this monster doesn't bother us, we will leave immediately and never come back." Ji Zhang solemnly promised.

"Master, that guy killed people in the ice cave and used blood to lure creatures in the water." The monster pointed his slender finger at Ji Wu on the shore.

Ji Wu, who was named, immediately backed away with evasive eyes. Ji Zhang was a little frustrated that he was caught in the act.

"Who did you kill in my territory?" Meng Jiao suddenly shouted in a stern tone: "Tell the truth, and don't even think about leaving today."

"Who did you kill?" Ji Zhang looked at Ji Wu and asked loudly.

"I...I..." Ji Wu hesitated and didn't dare to say anything. Killing Xiao Yu was his private plan. If Hu Xiu knew about it, he would definitely die a miserable death.

"Tell me, who did you kill?" Ji Zhang asked angrily.

"Xiao Yu, it's the fifth elder Xiao Yu..." Ji Wu said in a low voice, not daring to look at Ji Zhang.

"What? You actually killed the Fifth Elder?" Ji Zhang's voice rose unconsciously. He never expected that his seemingly dull brother would actually kill the vicious Fifth Elder.

"Fifth Elder Xiao Yu?" Meng Jiao couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "Since you killed Xiao Yu, where is his body?"

"I absorbed his spirit, and his demon pill was taken away by another unknown guy." Ji Wu replied with his head down.

These words surprised Ji Zhang and Meng Jiao again.

Ji Zhang only thought that his brother was a talkative person, stupid, and always made mistakes. He never thought that he would dare to secretly kill Xiao Yu, take away his inner elixir, and absorb his demon essence.

Meng Jiao had seen Xiao Yu before. He was young and energetic, and he looked OK. But he had a sinister look on his face, and his hostility could not be concealed. Once you met him, you would not want to meet him again.

I heard that the reason why he was able to sit on the position of elder was because he designed to kill the previous elder. It would be better to kill such a villain.

"Okay, leave quickly and don't let me see you a second time, otherwise I will kill you, suck out your demon essence, and cut open your demon pill." Meng Jiao threatened in a vicious manner.

"Thank you!" When Ji Zhang heard that Meng Jiao was willing to let him go, he hurried ashore, helped Ji Wu up and left.

"Master, why do you let them go? You can tell at a glance that they are not good people." The monster asked in confusion.

"Most of the demons in the demon world are bloodthirsty and brutal. We prefer peace, so there is no need to offend them, lest we provoke revenge." Meng Jiao said calmly.

Nowadays, there is peace all around this sea area, and she doesn't want to cause too much trouble.

On the way back to the demon world, Ji Zhang kept staring at Ji Wu. He could not imagine that this seemingly stupid brother would actually do such a thing.

"Brother, don't look at me like that. I just did what every demon wants to do." Ji Wu said without changing his expression.

It has already been discovered, there is no way for him to cover it up, he might as well be honest about it, they are all brothers after all.

"Why did you think of doing this?" Ji Zhang asked puzzled.

"I've been watching Hanyu City every day. Xiao Yu allowed his men to suck the essence of humans everywhere. They not only sucked the essence of humans, but also the essence of monsters." Ji Wu wanted to say that if others could do it, why couldn't he.

Moreover, if Ji Wu didn't do it, then it would be fine. If he did it, he would do it the best. Other monsters sucked the essence of humans, but he was nobler and more powerful than them. He only sucked the essence of monsters.

And he has a bottom line, he only absorbs the demon essence of those evil demons.

"Do you know that the Third Elder's adopted daughter Zhu Ji died in the killing array of the Immortal Sect disciples? All her demon essence was destroyed." Ji Zhang asked worriedly.

Hu Xiu also allowed his men to harm the human race, but Ji Zhang never did it. He was afraid of being retaliated by the immortal sect, and he couldn't bear to kill those innocent people who were unarmed.

"What are you afraid of? I haven't harmed any human beings, and all the monsters I killed deserved to die. How can Xiao Yu, such a vicious and brainless person, be worthy of being the elder of the monster tribe?" Ji Wu said with disdain.

"Tell me what happened. I can explain it to you when the elder asks." Ji Zhang asked.

Although Hu Xiu enjoyed punishing Ji Wu, he never intended to kill him. If he knew that he had killed his accomplice, there was no telling what he would do.

"That day, Xiao Yu, that guy, didn't know how to live or die and brought a group of subordinates to the Xianmen to provoke..." Ji Wu told Ji Zhang in detail what happened before the sneak attack on Xiao Yu.

After he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, anyway, only you and I know about this matter. The sea monsters in the sea will not go to the demon world, and the elders will not know about it.”

He didn't want his brother to complain to the elders, so he had to keep the matter secret regardless of whether the elders punished him or not.

"In that case, apart from the person who snatched the demon pill from you, no third person knows that you killed Xiao Yu." Ji Zhang analyzed.

"That's right. That guy stole my demon pill, concealed his identity and stabbed me. I don't think he would dare to make this public." Ji Wu immediately added: "Brother, let everyone think that the Fifth Elder was killed by the Immortal Sect, and you and I can just pretend that we don't know."

Ji Zhang was silent for a long time after listening to Ji Wu's words. Ji Wu's statement was undoubtedly the most appropriate.

If he said it, Hu Xiu would have some ideas, and Ji Wu would definitely be punished. If he didn't say it, everyone would think that Xiao Yu was killed by the Immortal Sect. Who made him provoke the Immortal Sect so openly?

"How is it? Brother..." Ji Wu touched Ji Zhang and asked.

"Okay, I'll do as you say and pretend that I don't know. Don't do this kind of thing again. I don't want to be alone in this world." Ji Zhang thought for a while and said solemnly.

Ji Wu is his only relative. If Ji Wu is gone, he will be the only one left.

"I got it. I won't do it again. Thank you, brother." Ji Wu was so excited that he wanted to hug Ji Zhang, which pulled his wound and made him grimace in pain.

Ji Wu thought that he must agree to his brother's request, but he still had to do what he had to do when he encountered it.

The two returned to Fengmuling in the demon world. Hu Xiu just thought that Ji Wu was implicated by Xiao Yu and his gang who were being hunted by the immortal sect.

Hu Xiu never expected that Xiao Yu, who was always cautious and ruthless, would be so impulsive as to take his subordinates to the human world to seek death. Several days had passed, and it seemed that Xiao Yu had hidden somewhere and dared not come out.

Fortunately, he felt that he had almost collected all the information he wanted by now.

Hu Xiu connected the information he had collected over the years together, and after careful consideration, he boldly came to a conclusion...

The high priest of Xinyue is suspected to be Lord Cangmo of the former God Realm. His only disciple accepted a spiritual pet, which is the spiritual beast of Lord Demon King.

His only disciple, however, carried a Pi Lingzhu which was specially used to conceal the aura of demons.

The above three pieces of information are all suspicious. Why would the high priest's apprentice wear the Pi Lingzhu that conceals the demonic aura? It can only mean that she is not from the immortal sect, but from the demon clan.

According to legend, the Huodou, who only recognized one master, was willing to change the master-servant contract. This could only mean that his current master might be his original master.

Lord Cangmo and Lord Yaojun were close friends ten thousand years ago, and it was he who predicted the Yaojun's rebirth. Is it possible that he has found the reincarnation of the Yaojun before everyone else? This person is none other than his only disciple.

Hu Xiu had a bold guess in his mind, and all that was left was to carefully verify it.

"Ji Wu, stay and recuperate. Ji Zhang, you will be responsible for continuing to monitor the girl with the evil spirit and the high priest." Hu Xiu gave the order after some calculations.

There was a hint of barely perceptible excitement in the expression on his face, and Ji Zhang noticed it sensitively.

Hu Xiu has been tracking the trajectory of the Demon King's rebirth. He just wants to capture and kill the Demon King when she is reborn and prevent her from being reborn.

Ji Zhang didn’t know whether Hu Xiu’s approach was correct, so he could only blindly follow his orders and go to Xinyue Imperial City to continue monitoring Yu Xiaobai.
