Chapter 52 Revenge

Li Yuanying didn't know how long she had been running in the cold water until she heard a familiar voice in a daze. The voice touched her heartstrings, making her feel a little happy and a little sad.

"How is she?"

"Your Highness, she just fainted."

Li Yuanying heard the conversation between Qilang and Fuyu Imperial Master. He had returned. She forced herself to open her eyes, but endless sleepiness bound her in darkness. She could clearly hear the voices, but could not wake up.

"I got the Polar Cold Lotus."

"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness. Our great cause is about to be accomplished."

"Once the Yuanming Realm is broken, can I take out my mother's things?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll go break through now, you keep an eye on her."

no.

Li Yuanying wanted to scream, she wanted to stop Qilang, but she was powerless.

The Yuanming Realm was sealed at the cost of three generations of her Li family's souls, preserving Chang'an's peace for a century. Now, Qilang wanted to destroy all her family's hard work, and Li Yuanying was unwilling to accept it.

She originally had a better way to allow humans and demons to coexist peacefully, but Qilang's behavior made all her plans go to waste.

Li Yuanying struggled, digging her nails into her palms. She finally managed to open her eyes slightly.

"Qilang..." She called out the name with difficulty.

She felt the boy pause, and she saw his boots turn in her direction.

"Don't... don't go... I... I have a way... I have another way..."

"What did you say?"

Li Yuanying saw Qilang walking towards her.

"I have a way...to protect both clans..."

"Your Highness, don't believe her. Please break through quickly!" Master Fu Yu knelt on one knee and begged Qilang.

Qilang looked at the girl in the water. She was pale from the cold and barely breathing, like a flower soaked in water, half wilted and lifeless. He felt a pang of pain, but he couldn't rescue her from this soul-binding cage. If she were to be rescued, her Yuanming Realm would be broken, and she would die.

Only by trapping her soul in this forbidden cage can she avoid being affected by the destruction of the Yuanming realm.

Wanwan, just be patient a little longer. Once you get through this, everything will be fine.

Qilang turned around and left. He wanted to complete everything his master wanted as soon as possible, and then he could get what his mother left behind.

He wants to take her home.

“No…no…”

Qilang heard voices of pleading behind him, and there was even a crying tone in the pleading. He had never seen Li Yuanying beg anyone, nor had he heard her cry.

She was the god of war who single-handedly defeated thousands of troops in the Battle of Black Water. She was the goddess who single-handedly conquered the Nine Provinces by slaying demons and monsters. She had always been aloof and pure, never bowing to anyone. Therefore, this prayer deeply distressed Qilang.

But he couldn't turn back. Perhaps she would misunderstand him and be sad, but it was better than death.

When you die, you have nothing.

I once said that I would definitely save you, and I can't go back on my word.

You have made enough sacrifices for the people and the world. From now on, live for yourself.

Qilang walked out without hesitation. He raised the Polar Cold Lotus and threw it into the air.

"Break the formation!" Qilang raised the Tuling Flame Umbrella, and the blazing flames soared into the sky. The blue flames poured into the polar cold lotus. The cold lotus bloomed, white mist rose, and the transparent petals slowly opened, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

Suddenly, the transparent petals fell off and became pieces, floating scattered in the air. Then, the petals flew into the air and embedded themselves into the transparent giant screen of the Yuanming Realm.

Each petal, once embedded, transformed into a silver thread. This silver thread then morphed into countless strands, rushing upward from the bottom to the very core of the Yuanming Realm. There stood a massive plum blossom, beneath which lay a moon rabbit scattering petals. The moment the silver thread penetrated the blossom, its petals began to wither, one by one, and the moon rabbit beneath the petals vanished.

Bang.

This Yuanming Realm, located in Chang'an City, has protected Chang'an City for a hundred years and overdrawn the heroic spirits of three generations of the Li family.

disappeared.

Rolling evil spirits rose from all over Chang'an, green, purple, and gray. From today on, Chang'an would no longer be protected by anyone.

Purgatory returns to the world.

A hundred years ago, his mother was tricked here by that man, her demon pill was taken away, and then she was exiled back.

The man knew the mother's real name, so he called her real name and killed her.

Now, a hundred years later, your retribution has finally arrived. Qilang watched as the city slowly began to stir. People began to leave their homes one after another, looking up in horror. They had been cowards for a hundred years, and today they were finally facing the powerful enemy from outside.

Now the Zhang and Li families can no longer protect you. Qilang looked at this mob with indifference. He had finally waited for this day.

After his mother's murder, Emperor Yongning led the Guards of the Ming Dynasty to massacre the Fuxi clan, killing tens of thousands of them. The Fuxi clan retreated north of the Black Water River, living in the perpetually cold Buzhou Mountain. These deep grudges had finally found their chance for revenge today.

The Chang'an tragedy began from then on.

This was a massacre with a huge disparity in strength, which started from the outer city and spread to the inner city. The people who had been protected by the Yuanming Realm for a long time had never seen monsters. Puppets, demons, and spirits gathered from all directions. Some were parasitized by puppets, some had their souls sucked away by demons, and some were torn to pieces by spirits.

For a moment, screams filled the entire Chang'an, and a strong smell of blood rose up. The blood seeped into the ground, dyeing it red.

At this moment, a group of hermits dressed in black appeared outside the city. They had their faces covered and carried swords with the word "Gu" engraved on them.

These hermits continued to move swiftly, like ghosts, forming different formations and coordinating with extreme tacit coordination, strangling the monster from the outside in. They were not only equipped with swords, but also darts, knives, nunchakus, arrows, etc. They constantly changed their formations and used different weapons according to the situation.

When the giant spirit attacked, a team of thirteen people immediately gathered together, took out a shield from somewhere, squatted down together, raised the shield, and there was a loud bang. The huge spirit hit the shield, but the thirteen people were unharmed.

Then, they took out daggers and started fighting Ling in close combat. The thirteen people attacked Ling in turns like propellers, making Ling unable to resist.

These thirteen men were like ghosts, invincible, and they advanced against their enemies on their own.

"Your Highness, a group of thirteen hermits came from the south of the city. They are very powerful and have dealt with all the monsters." Bingyi came to report.

Qilang was a little confused. Now that the Li and Zhang families were both ruined, who was coming now?

Qilang touched the Frost Ember he wore at his waist. The sword was completely transparent, with a tassel at the end. It was a silver chain with a white plum blossom at the end. It was very beautiful. It was said that the sword was made by the Gu family for Li Yuanying. The Gu family had long since disappeared from the Jianghu. Could it really be them?

"Did you get the stuff?"

"I got it. After you broke through the Yuanming realm, the seal was lifted, so I brought this out." Bingyi handed Qilang a sandalwood box with the mark of a broken seal on it.

Qilang took it carefully. He gently opened the box and a red light shot out. Inside was a charming red demon pill.

Mother, the man who stole your demon pill has finally got it back.

Qilang put the box away and asked, "Where is she?"

"She's safe and sound thanks to the Soul Binding Cage. I left the key with Fifteen, and she will be released at midnight."

"Okay, good job. Let's go."

Qilang and Bingyi disappeared together in the night.

*

Li Yuanying felt that some connection between herself and this world had been severed, and she suddenly felt as if her soul had been hollowed out. Then, screams were heard outside.

Master Fu Yu rushed out excitedly. He had waited for this moment for too long.

He waited for a full hundred years.

He and the demon queen grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Later, she fell in love with a human man. No matter how he tried to persuade her, the queen threw herself into the arms of love without hesitation. In the end, the man betrayed her and cheated her of her demon pill, leaving her with a terrifying death. He also massacred tens of thousands of Fuxi people, eliminating the threat of the Fuxi tribe to humans in one fell swoop.

After that, he began to lurk in the palace, searching for a way to break the formation and take revenge on Emperor Yongning. Eventually, he realized that the Li family had overdrawn the souls of three generations to forge the Yuanming realm. Therefore, he had to wait until the third generation of the Li family was born, until that most important person was born, before he could break the formation.

Only when she is born will the polar snow lotus begin to grow slowly with her birth.

When her luck is about to end, she can activate the Polar Cold Lotus to merge her last soul with the Yuanming Realm. From then on, the Yuanming Realm will be perfected and will never be broken.

However, this lotus can achieve a state of mind, and it can also break a state of mind.

After sleeping on straw and tasting gall, and drinking ice for a hundred years, he finally got his revenge.

Master Fu Yu let out a long cry towards the sky. He seemed to see the empress's smiling face as bright as a flower. She was still so beautiful and moving.

His Highness Qi also had eyes like this, and a soft heart like this. Imperial Preceptor Fu Yu knew that he had to stay by His Highness Qi's side and not let him be deceived by these cunning humans.

The cage and deception in the name of love are tailor-made for people as passionate and emotional as His Highness the Seventh Prince and the Empress.

"Your Majesty, this time, I protected the prince, Your Majesty! I protected the prince!" Master Fu Yu roared, tears streaming from behind his mask.

That day, he failed to protect her, but this day, he protected her son.

Master Fu Yu knew that now was not the time to feel sad. He still had something to do, and he was not going to let go of anyone who had hurt her.

So, Master Fu Yu walked towards the palace.

Although Emperor Yongning is dead, Zhao Yu and Zhao Wenyan are still alive.

None of you can escape.
