Chapter 73 Meeting the Inner Demon Again

Jiang Jiu seemed to sense something in the dark. She stopped, closed her eyes gently, and heard her own voice vaguely in her ears.

"Are you stupid?"

The disappointed woman's voice was full of disdain, yet seemed to conceal concern.

When he opened his eyes again, a smile flashed in Jiang Jiu's eyes. The inner demon... No, it should be called the tree spirit of the Origin Divine Tree. It still has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

In fact, along the way, Jiang Jiu could vaguely feel that she was following a route that had been set long ago.

Even though she came to the mortal world because she wanted to indulge herself in her last moments, she was still taken into account by Gou Tiandao.

Showing her the sufferings of the world made her feel more compassion for the world, moved her to sympathize, and willingly sacrifice herself to become a kind of fire.

The material that allows the 'little loach' to transform into a dragon is the bait.

The 'little loach' suddenly broke out of its shell for no apparent reason, without any warning signs, and without the assistance of the Longyuan Pool. Back then, only Long Xuan had broken out of his shell.

Tiandao's move was really powerful, even Long Xuan was tricked into it without realizing it.

This is probably the end.

She could even hear the voice of the spirit of the Origin Divine Tree. Perhaps this was the root system of the Divine Tree. The Divine Tree was the most important and the core that needed to be rekindled.

The ethereal and almost non-existent voice floated into Jiang Jiu's ears again, and the inner demon's voice could not hide the heartache for her at all.

She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Jiang Jiu knew this a long time ago, so every time she said something, Jiang Jiu listened attentively.

"You've really been sold, and you're still counting money for others."

The inner demon kept nagging, and Jiang Jiu could almost imagine that if the inner demon was in front of her, he would uncontrollably point fingers at her.

"Please, I don't want you to die either."

Jiang Jiu smiled self-deprecatingly and murmured to herself in a low voice. She knew that her inner demon could hear her.

As the spirit of the sacred tree, her inner demon will become weaker and weaker as the sacred tree declines.

Now she has no way to leave the core of the sacred tree, and with the intervention of heaven, she can only be protected inside and wait for the fire to descend.

Only when Jiang Jiu gets close enough to the center of the sacred tree's roots can he re-establish communication with her.

But this also means that ginger wine is one step closer to death.

"I will help you protect the living beings you guard."

As Jiang Jiu was speaking, a huge shadow of a sacred tree suddenly appeared before her eyes, and the tree spirit was deep in its trunk, looking at her with a complicated expression.

The first time they met after they separated was at this moment of life and death. Perhaps this would be the last time they would see each other.

Jiang Jiu curled the corners of his mouth, looked into her inner demon's eyes frankly, and faced death calmly.

"You are the stupidest person in the world."

The tree spirit closed its eyes and turned its head away in embarrassment, not daring to look her in the eye again.

Jiang Jiu didn't know that Chi Li, who was originally waiting by the marriage tree, suddenly changed his expression the moment he noticed Jiang Jiu stepping onto the peak of Fuxing Mountain.

The whole person almost turned into a stream of light and rushed straight into the lower world.

"Faster, faster."

Chi Li's eyes were red and he kept muttering. The nine tails behind him emerged uncontrollably and danced wildly in the wind.

It showed how panicked he was inside.

He should have calculated it earlier. Heaven was using a trick to deceive people. Even though Jiang Jiu seemed to be free during this period, he was actually still under its control.

The disguised core of the sacred tree, the last ray of life that has withered, is hidden at the destination of the ginger wine to confuse their sight and hearing.

“Damn it!”

Chi Li closed his eyes. No matter how much he planned, he still lost to the will of heaven.

He was unwilling to give up, as he was just one step away from saving the ginger wine!

"No, it's not over yet."

The feeling of powerlessness lingering in his heart almost made Chi Li collapse, but when he thought that Jiang Jiu would die in a foreign land, Chi Li instantly exerted a burst of strength in his body.

Although the fire will automatically start to burn and "sacrifice itself" after entering the core of the sacred tree, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, as long as Jiang Jiu still has a chance to survive and has not completely burned out, he must go to save him.

No matter what method.

"Wait for me, little one."

Chi Li almost turned into a lightning that was so bright that it was impossible to see clearly, but he was frozen in mid-air.

There was originally the sound of wind around, passing by noisily, and then it returned to silence in an instant. In Chi Li's suddenly narrowed eyes, a human figure with a white glow appeared in front of him.

"You were once a supreme god, yet now you have fallen to the point of wanting to destroy the world. What crime should you be punished for?"

The majestic and ruthless voice was questioning Chi Li, or perhaps judging him, but Chi Li was not afraid at all. The only thing in his mind was that the little thing was in danger and he had to save her.

But the power of Heaven is so powerful that no matter how powerful Chi Li is, he still cannot resist the will of this world.

As long as he is still a living being in this world, he cannot escape the control of the laws of nature.

"Are you scared? If you were so confident your plan was foolproof, you wouldn't have shown up to stop me!"

Chi Li lowered his eyes, hiding the anxiety in his eyes, and tried to use provocation to get Tiandao to let him go.

"No, I just don't want her to lose her last chance of survival."

Tiandao's voice was calm, like a machine operating without emotions. Or perhaps he was a machine in the first place, just a large intelligent machine used to maintain the world.

"Can the heavens lie?"

Chi Li scoffed, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

He searched through many sealed records and ancient books, and all signs indicated that the fire had no chance of survival, and every alien who was summoned would be completely burned to ashes.

Including the first generation of extraterritorial demons who had caused chaos before, she even had the best ending among all the Pure Branch Goddesses. She was able to preserve her consciousness and memory by relying on crooked means, but her soul was also burned out.

No matter who said this, Chi Li would fight to protect the opportunity it mentioned.

Only the way of heaven is not enough.

"Whether you believe it or not, it won't change the facts. Everything is about to begin."

Tiandao's tone was indifferent, as if he was talking about something insignificant. It was impossible to tell from his words that he had already determined a person's fate of death.

"Let me go! I want to save her!"

Hearing Tiandao's words, Chi Li's immortal power exploded and attacked Tiandao madly like a sound wave.

At this moment, he actually broke free from the constraints of heaven.

But it was only for a moment.

And his power seemed to penetrate the air, going straight through the sky without leaving any trace on it.

"Don't try to struggle."

As soon as Tiandao finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Zixia Heavenly Palace.

The next second, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and Chi Li regained control of his body.

He didn't have time to think about the reason why Tiandao left, he just wanted to get to Jiang Jiu quickly.
