Chapter 577:

"Sigh, why did the Vermilion Bird clan have to cause trouble at this time?"

Watching the departing figure of Lord Hongyan, Qiyou sighed and said to Qingcheng, "But don't worry, although the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Phoenix Clan are not on good terms, they are still considered half of the same clan, so they generally won't cause any major trouble."

"That's hard to say. Ten thousand years ago, when the Vermilion Bird descended to the mortal realm to cause trouble, the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan stopped it. I guess the Vermilion Bird is now thinking of joining forces with the Demon Clan to take revenge on them."

When this matter was brought up, Qingcheng began to worry, because she knew how bad the relationship was between the Phoenix and Vermilion Bird clans.

Although the Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird are both divine beasts, the Phoenix is ​​a naturally auspicious divine beast that advocates peace, while the Vermilion Bird is an absolute troublemaker who always likes to cause trouble everywhere. Therefore, despite having some kinship ties, their relationship is not very good.

"Sigh, even if something really does happen, there's nothing we can do about it right now. Don't forget, we haven't heard anything from Jiuling yet."

Qi You took out her phone and sent a message to Yue Jiuling, but she didn't receive a reply.

The Demon Realm.

Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi have been trapped for a long time. Inside the barrier, the black energy keeps surging into Ya Zi's body, causing both of their souls great torment.

"Damn it, I feel like my soul is about to dissipate, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on any longer."

Ya Zi lay on the ground, weakly asking, "Jiu Ling, how are you feeling now?"

"It's alright. Actually, I thought we were probably going to die here. It's just a bit of a shame. We just started dating and haven't even gone on a date yet. It's so pitiful that we're going to die."

Yue Jiuling spoke weakly inside Ya Zi's body.

"Sigh, what bad luck! This is my first love, and I'm dying like this? I'm not reconciled!"

Ya Zi gave a bitter laugh, looked up at the thick black mist above his head and repeated, "Tsk, I'm really not reconciled."

"That's right, I'm not reconciled either, dying at the hands of 'myself,' hehe~"

Yue Jiuling also smiled bitterly: "Damn it, I shouldn't have met that bastard inner demon back then!"

Just as the two of them were 'waiting to die', Ya Zi suddenly heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the barrier. He knew that it was the inner demon controlling Yue Jiu Ling's true form again, and he was about to tell Yue Jiu Ling.

But just as he was about to speak, a brilliant idea struck him, and he thought of a way to avoid dying.

"Nine Spirits, your true form has returned. Let's all stay still and continue to play dead, and see if we can find a chance to escape."

Ya Zi whispered to Yue Jiuling, and after hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiuling understood what he wanted to do. She immediately cooperated and remained silent. Anyway, her usable body was already ruined. If the inner demon couldn't see her, it would definitely think something had happened to her, and might even open the barrier to come in and check the situation.

After Ya Zi finished speaking with Yue Jiu Ling, he closed his eyes and lay down on the ground pretending to be dead. Sure enough, the inner demon controlled Yue Jiu Ling to come outside the barrier. When she saw that only Ya Zi was lying inside the barrier, she immediately felt something was wrong.

"Where's Yue Jiuling? Why are you all alone?"

Upon discovering that Yue Jiuling was missing, the 'inner demon' immediately became anxious. She approached the barrier and looked inside, only to find that besides Ya Zi, there was only that extra grave mound inside the barrier.

"Hey! Where's Yue Jiuling!?"

The inner demon shouted a few words at Ya Zi, finally waking him up. Ya Zi struggled to open his eyes, glaring angrily at Yue Jiu Ling outside. He weakly cursed, "Inner demon, you bastard! Give me back Jiu Ling! She's dead! Her body is rotting! Her soul couldn't withstand this black energy either, and she's dead!"

Upon hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiu Ling's expression outside immediately changed. She became very excited and said, "Dead? Is her soul scattered? That's great! I'll go in right away to collect her scattered soul so I can get that remnant soul!"

As Yue Jiuling spoke, she opened the barrier and stepped inside. Since the black energy was released by the inner demon, it had no effect on her. Therefore, when she entered the barrier, Yue Jiuling's true form felt no discomfort at all.

But just as the 'inner demon' entered the barrier, Ya Zi, who was standing to the side, jumped up with all his might, grabbed Yue Jiu Ling's true form, and shouted, "Quick, Jiu Ling, take back your true form!"

At the same time, a white light flew out of his body and quickly entered Yue Jiuling's true form!

After seeing Yue Jiuling's soul return to his body, Ya Zi hurriedly pushed Yue Jiuling away from the barrier to prevent them from being trapped again.

"Yue Jiuling! You were faking your death!"

When Yue Jiuling returned to her body, a wisp of black energy flew out from within her body; that was the inner demon that had been forced out!

Seeing that he had been forced out, the inner demon became extremely angry. After circling around angrily in mid-air a few times, he said fiercely, "Fine, very well. I originally wanted to keep you as a subordinate, but since that's how it is, then you can die!"

After saying that, the black energy launched a heavy attack on Yue Jiuling. At the same time, the ground beneath Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi's feet suddenly sank, and the entire ground began to collapse. They couldn't react in time and fell down.
