His beloved disciple was seduced by the demon race and forcibly opened the Myriad Demon Cave. To save all living beings, Li Youyang sacrificed his soul to seal it.
A hundred years later, when...
Chapter 128: Moon God hides the Master "The God of War never thought...
"The God of War has never considered that I might actually be attracted to you."
Bei Liyuan looked over with cold eyes.
The Moon God's heart sank. He was still the War God of the past, his gentleness only shown in front of the Water God. "Well, now that the War God has explained it, there's no need for me to continue pretending. Something went wrong during my cultivation not long ago. Besides absorbing the cultivation of others, it would be nice if I could obtain the Nine-Layered Lotus. But the War God also knows that the person at Nine-Curve Bridge has a strange temper and is not to be trifled with."
"After obtaining the Nine-Layered Lotus..."
"I promise I will never bother the God of War again."
"In three days, I will bring the Nine-Layered Lotus back. During these three days, you must protect the Water Temple for me."
"good."
When Li Youyang woke up, Bei Liyuan had already left a letter and left. Seeing Yue Shen staring at the two little golden lions, he couldn't help but frown: "Liyuan is gone, what are you still doing here?"
The Moon Goddess said gently, "The God of War asked me to protect the Water Temple, so naturally I have to stay here."
Li Youyang asked coldly, "Is he in danger on this trip?"
The Moon Goddess smiled but said nothing.
Li Youyang frowned and turned back to his room.
That night, the Moon Goddess went to find the God Emperor: "Bei Liyuan has left. I need a reasonable reason for Li Youyang's disappearance."
The God Emperor curled his lips. "The Moon Goddess went to such great lengths. Could it be that she not only uses Li Youyang as a cauldron, but also intends to stay with him?"
The Moon Goddess did not answer and continued, "I have thought carefully about the place that can deceive Beiliyuan. Perhaps the Fallen God Taboo Realm can do it."
The God Emperor was slightly stunned. "A trip to the Fallen God Realm would cost you half your cultivation just to get out alive, not to mention Li Youyang. If you take Li Youyang with you, the Moon God would have invested a huge sum of money. Is it worth it?"
The Moon Goddess curled her lips dangerously: "The God Emperor has a lot of problems today."
The God Emperor then said: "Tomorrow..."
"Tonight."
"good."
…
At midnight, the divine realm suddenly shook violently, startling all the gods:
"It's in the direction of the Fallen Angel's Taboo Realm!"
"If the seal is broken, the consequences will be disastrous. Go quickly."
When Li Youyang arrived, many gods were already repairing the seal, led by the God Emperor, but the cracks on the seal were still expanding.
Without thinking too much, Li Youyang hurriedly released his spiritual energy to help with the repairs. Just as he was concentrating on repairing, he was pushed by something from behind and ran directly towards the barrier. Before he could react, he was grabbed by the fallen angel inside the seal.
The gods were shocked. Asura God tried to dodge, but was stopped by the God Emperor, who said in a deep voice, "Retreat."
Asura God clenched his fists tightly, and just as he was about to move, Moon Goddess flashed over and grabbed Li Youyang, but they were both dragged in by the Fallen God.
"The two of us will intercept the Fallen Angels who are coming to destroy us from inside, and you will take the opportunity to seal them."
Half an hour later, the cracks in the seal were completely repaired.
Han Shun couldn't hide his worry, and the God Emperor patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, with the Moon God here, they'll be fine. Waiting here won't help."
Han Shun looked at the God Emperor with cold eyes: "Is it you?"
The God Emperor frowned: "You are questioning me."
Han Shun said solemnly, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of failing to repair the crack today and letting the Fallen Angel escape? How many Fallen Gods are imprisoned within the Fallen God barrier! Gu Huai, I can hardly recognize you anymore."
After saying that, he turned and left.
…
Inside the Fallen God's forbidden realm, the Moon Goddess said gently, "Don't worry, I promised the God of War that I would definitely take you out."
Li Youyang asked coldly, "Where is this place?"
The Moon Goddess looked up at the Fallen Angels rushing towards her and said, "Originally, this was a place to punish erring gods, but over the endless years, the number of Fallen Gods has increased, and this place has gradually become the most dangerous place in the God Realm."
As they were talking, the Fallen Angels had already rushed over. The two of them summoned their magic swords at the same time and began to fight with the Fallen Angels. After getting rid of the first wave of Fallen Angels, the Moon Goddess looked at Li Youyang with a bit of admiration. She had thought it was a delicate flower, but unexpectedly it was a sharp blade. If it was somewhere else, she might not be able to take this person down, but here... it was destined to be a meaningless struggle.
With wave after wave of fallen angels coming, Li Youyang didn't know how many they had killed, and he gradually became overwhelmed.
The Moon God was also shocked that Li Youyang could hold on until this moment. In one day, he would reach the exit. He was thinking about whether to take a detour. Taking a detour would mean that his cultivation would be consumed more, and by that time Bei Liyuan would have returned, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
Fortunately, after fighting for half a day, Li Youyang finally became too weak to kneel down, and he lost consciousness after another two hours. He originally thought that this trip would consume 70% of his cultivation, but now it has only consumed 40%.
After returning to Jiuxiaoyun Palace, he took Li Youyang into seclusion, and announced to the outside world that Li Youyang died in battle in the Fallen God Realm.
Bei Liyuan returned and learned the news, and directly broke into the Fallen God's barrier. The God Emperor naturally tried to stop him, but was seriously injured by Bei Liyuan.
…
When Li Youyang woke up, his eyes were covered with a black cloth.
"You are seriously injured and need to recuperate."
"Moon God?"
"It's me."
Li Youyang was about to stand up: "If you don't see me when you return from the abyss, you will definitely enter the realm of fallen gods."
However, he discovered that his hands and feet were chained. "What does Moon God mean by this? Do you think you can catch up to Li Yuan without me showing up?"
The Moon Goddess smiled, walked to Li Youyang's side, and raised her hand to brush his cheek. "Even now, the Water God still can't see my feelings. From the beginning to the end, the person I wanted was you. Falling in love with Bei Liyuan was just a way to get close to you and let you down."
Li Youyang frowned, and the Moon Goddess gently stroked his brow. "From the first moment I saw you, I developed a certain interest in you. Later, as I got to know you, I gradually discovered that my heart, which had long been cold, would actually beat. It would beat wildly for your smile. At that time, I decided that I would not treat you as a cauldron that was only used once, but as a Taoist companion who would accompany me."
Then he took off the black cloth in front of Li Youyang's eyes and said, "This is the wedding room I specially decorated. Do you like it?"
Li Youyang looked at the room covered with white silk and asked, "Are you sure this isn't a mourning hall?"
The Moon Goddess lowered her eyes and said, "I've seen that you're usually aloof and I thought you'd like this style. It's okay, I'll change it up."
After saying this, he waved his sleeves lightly, and all the white silk turned red in an instant.
Li Youyang shook the chain on his hand: "You want me to marry you like this?"
The Moon Goddess smiled and said, "I was in seclusion before, and I was worried that you would run away after waking up, so I did this. Now that I have recovered naturally, there is no need to use these shackles anymore."
With a wave of his hand, all the shackles were removed. Li Youyang got off the bed, stretched his wrists, and then a murderous look flashed in his eyes. He was about to summon the magic sword, but it was useless.
"No need to try. You have very little cultivation left in the Fallen God Realm, and I destroyed that little cultivation just to keep you obedient. Don't worry, I haven't touched your spiritual roots. When we practice dual cultivation, I will slowly pass on my cultivation to you, provided you obey and don't try to escape."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked to Li Youyang's side, gently wrapped her arms around his waist, and said softly: "I practice the Hundred Flowers Dao, and my skills in bed must be better than Bei Liyuan's. You will like it if you try it."
Li Youyang tried to struggle, but the Moon Goddess held him tighter, threatening softly, "Water God, are you impatient to try it?"
Li Youyang silently clenched his fist and stopped struggling. Yue Shen loosened his hand and said gently, "That's right."
Then she leaned close to Li Youyang's ear and whispered softly, "I couldn't help myself a long time ago, but I always thought that our first time should be grand and solemn. At least I can't lose my manners. Please wait here for a moment. I'll bring the betrothal gifts for you to review."
After the Moon Goddess left, Li Youyang was speechless. Compared to his own situation, he was more worried about Bei Liyuan. The Moon Goddess imprisoned him here and she would probably tell others that he died in the Fallen God Taboo Realm. Bei Liyuan might have already entered it by now.
When the Moon Goddess returned, Li Youyang was gone. However, he was not in a hurry. He just smiled softly and said, "Youyang, you have to be punished for being so naughty. But considering that today is our wedding day, I won't blame you. But there must not be a next time."
Then he walked to the bookshelf and picked up a book: "Youyang, do you want to come out by yourself, or do you want me to help you out?"
After waiting for a moment and seeing no response, the Moon Goddess smiled and said, "Looks like you need my help."
Then his eyes darkened slightly, and the book transformed into Li Youyang and fell into the arms of the Moon Goddess. The Moon Goddess said lovingly, "You are so naughty. You can only play this game once. If you do it again, I will not let you off."
Then he carried her to the table and said, "These are the betrothal gifts I prepared for you. Do you like them?"
Li Youyang frowned and was about to speak when the Moon Goddess kissed him on the lips: "I suddenly don't want to listen to you anymore. You will naturally like what I prepared."
Then he raised his hand and knocked everything on the table to the ground, then pressed Li Youyang on the table, leaned over and kissed him hard on the lips. After the kiss, his eyes became cold and Li Youyang under him turned into a paper man.
"Youyang, don't challenge my patience. If you come out now, I will spare you. Otherwise, I will punish you severely. You won't be able to bear my punishment."
He then searched again, finding four or five puppets one after another, but not the real person. The Moon God was so angry that he laughed: "It was I who underestimated you, Li Youyang. If I find you this time, I will definitely lock you up and not give you any freedom."
So, Yue Shen searched for the whole night but couldn't find anyone, so much so that he even suspected that Li Youyang had escaped.
…
After three days and three nights, Bei Liyuan came out of the Fallen God Realm, but did not find any trace of Li Youyang. He immediately speculated that Li Youyang was not dead, and was either in the hands of the God Emperor or the Moon Goddess.
But no matter which of the two men the person was in, he was unable to rescue him in his current state, so he did not rush to look for him, but returned to the temple to heal his wounds in seclusion.
…
The Moon Goddess searched for three days but still couldn't find it. She couldn't help but get angry and said, "Li Youyang! You'd better hope that I won't find it for the rest of my life."
"Lord Moon God, the God Emperor has arrived and is waiting in the main hall."
Before the Moon Goddess left, she said to the void, "Youyang, don't even think about escaping. I've set up a formation in Jiuxiao Cloud Palace. You can't escape in your current state. Wait for me to come back."
When they arrived at the main hall, the God Emperor looked at him and asked, "Where is Li Youyang?"
The Moon Goddess smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you he's dead?"
The God Emperor said coldly, "Li Yuan has already emerged from the Fallen God Realm. Once he recovers, he will definitely come looking for you. Li Youyang cannot stay."
The Moon Goddess laughed: "I still say the same thing, Li Youyang is dead."
The God Emperor clenched his fist and said, "Give me Li Youyang, and I will practice dual cultivation with you again..."
The Moon Goddess smiled and said, "The God Emperor thinks too highly of himself. I was willing to endure the disgust and give you two punishments because I thought you were quite pretty and your cultivation was passable. How can someone like you compare to my Youyang?"
"you!"
The Moon Goddess said nonchalantly, "What you want is the result that Li Youyang is dead, and I have already given you that result."
The God Emperor snorted coldly and turned away.
The Moon Goddess pretended to sigh, "Youyang, see? You will die if you leave me. I compromise. I know you will be unhappy if I force you to stay by my side. I promise that I will not touch you unless you agree. Now, can you come out now?"
After waiting for a long time and still no movement, Yueshen regretted more and more that she should not have removed Li Youyang's shackles, and secretly vowed to lock him up as soon as she found him.
Three days later, the Moon Goddess searched the Jiuxiao Cloud Palace for no less than a hundred times, but she couldn't find anyone. No matter how she threatened or bribed him, it was of no use.
"Could it be possible that the cooked duck really flew away?"
The Moon Goddess sat in front of the desk in a rage, and raised her hand to knock everything on the table to the ground.
Then his eyes lit up: "I caught you."
With a casual scoop, he pulled Li Youyang, covered in ink, into his arms.
The Moon Goddess looked at him with blazing eyes: "Are you still going to run?"
Li Youyang frowned at the ink on his body. Yue Shen was originally very angry, but when she saw Li Youyang's expression, her anger instantly subsided: "You found this place yourself, and you are still so disgusted with it. I really can't do anything about you."
He then cast a dust removal spell on Li Youyang, then lowered his head and kissed Li Youyang on the lips. Li Youyang quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Wait."
The Moon Goddess said seductively, "I don't want to wait any longer. I've been searching for so many days..."
Li Youyang interrupted: "You want to keep me imprisoned like this forever? And keep me by your side unwillingly."
"As the saying goes, one night of marriage brings a hundred days of love. You'll naturally be willing after a while."
Li Youyang said coldly, "I'm very stubborn. No one can force me to do something I don't want to do."
"What a coincidence! I just love forcing people like you to do things they don't like."
Li Youyang's sword finger moved slightly, and a killing array enveloped the two of them: "If I want to die, you can't stop me."
The Moon Goddess clenched her fist.
Li Youyang added, "Bei Liyuan and I have signed a Heavenly Dao Marriage Contract. Unless he dies, no matter who I end up with, Heaven will retaliate. And I don't want to die like this."
The Moon Goddess curled her lips: "You want me to kill Bei Liyuan."
Li Youyang said coldly, "Three days from now, I want you to become my Taoist partner in the most solemn ceremony, and the Divine Emperor must personally preside over it."
"Does Youyang think I'm stupid? If so, Bei Liyuan will definitely come to snatch the bride away."
Li Youyang raised his eyes and looked at him: "You are afraid of Li Yuan."
The Moon Goddess laughed: "I'm afraid of him? I'm the longest-lived god, why should I be afraid of him?"
"Since you're not afraid, why don't you dare to openly become my Taoist partner? Or do you think I'm unworthy and can only be kept as your forbidden delicacy?"
"Of course that's not what I meant. Well, I promise you, but if Bei Liyuan dies in my hands, you..."
"I will become your Taoist partner."
The Moon Goddess was silent for a moment, then continued, "I don't believe you. I want you to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. If you break it, Beiliyuan will never be able to reincarnate."
After Li Youyang did as he was told, the Moon Goddess smiled warmly, "Okay, I'll go get ready."
…
"Have you heard? The Moon God is planning to become a couple with the Water God."
"Why did he become the Moon God again? Wasn't he the God of War and Asura God before?"
"Who knows? I heard that the Divine Emperor himself presided over the wedding."
"This... I always feel like the wedding day won't be peaceful."
…
Three days later, at the wedding, Li Youyang put on the bright red wedding dress prepared by Yueshen and walked into the wedding with Yueshen side by side.
"I have to say, this Water God is truly stunning in red. No wonder even the Moon Goddess is tempted by her."
"Don't mention it, these two look quite good together."
"I think the God of War is more suitable..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was killed by the Moon Goddess. No one dared to speak nonsense now.
At this moment, a sword seal slashed down from the air, and the entire wedding hall was immediately split in half. Bei Liyuan stood in the void and looked at the Moon Goddess coldly: "You dare to steal my people, you really have lived enough."
The Moon Goddess summoned the Immortal Sword and flashed into the void: "Beiliyuan, I will take the person."
The God Emperor looked at Li Youyang and said, "Bei Liyuan is no match for the Moon God. Are you doing this to kill him?"
Li Youyang slowly adjusted his wedding attire. "Come to think of it, the Fallen God Realm was created by the God Emperor, right? It was the God Emperor who pushed me into it, right?"
"So what?"
Li Youyang summoned his magical sword and said, "You made me hide in the ink for so many days and endured so much humiliation. Today I will return it to you."
The God Emperor said coldly: "You are really courting death!"
Seeing Li Youyang's actions, the Moon Goddess said worriedly, "Youyang, you are no match for the God Emperor right now. If you want to kill him, I will do it for you after I kill Bei Liyuan."
Li Youyang didn't bother to pay any attention at all, and rushed towards the God Emperor with his sword. The gods should have stepped forward to protect him, but behind Li Youyang were the God of War and the Moon Goddess, so no one dared to move, and they simply retreated and watched.
"It's been a long time since there has been such a big battle in the God Realm."
"Why not open a game and bet on who will win?"
"You're quite courageous!"
"I'm just sitting around doing nothing."
Then the gambling really started, with the majority betting against the God Emperor and the Moon Goddess.
The four fought for three days and three nights, and Beiliyuan and Yueshen finally decided the winner.
Bei Liyuan pointed his cold sword at the Moon God's vitals and was about to kill him when Jiuqu Xingjun arrived: "Will you spare his life for my sake? If he dies, will the God of War guard the Jiuxiao Cloud Palace?"
Bei Liyuan put away his sword, but still raised his hand and severely injured the Moon Goddess with a palm. She would probably be unable to get out of bed for half a year. Jiuqu Star Lord grabbed the Moon Goddess by the collar and dragged her back to Jiuxiao Cloud Palace.
The end of Bei Liyuan's side also meant the end of Li Youyang's side. Bei Liyuan protected Li Youyang and looked at the God Emperor coldly: "Gu Huai, I gave you a chance to live, but you insisted on seeking death, then..."
Han Shun stepped forward: "God of War, don't kill him."
Bei Liyuan said coldly: "Why, you still have feelings for him."
Han Shun said anxiously: "No, it's just that if he dies, the God Realm will be in chaos. I will keep an eye on him."
"The God Realm will be in chaos." Bei Liyuan smiled, then a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. A sword seal pierced the God Emperor's vitals, and the God Emperor instantly turned to ash. Bei Liyuan raised his hand to take the Emperor's seal and injected it into Han Shun's body. "From today on, Shura God is the new God Emperor. Do you have any objections?"
The gods finally came back to their senses and bowed to Han Shun one after another: "Greetings to the God Emperor."
…
After returning to the Water God Temple, Li Youyang had a cold face for several days. He knew that it was not Bei Liyuan's fault, but he was still angry. If Bei Liyuan had not returned to the throne of God, nothing would have happened. If the two of them had killed the God Emperor directly from the beginning, nothing would have happened either.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He simply left the God Realm and returned to the Kyushu Continent. Bei Liyuan came over with hot meals but couldn't find anyone. He wanted to cry but couldn't: "Family, who understands! I lost my wife while I was cooking."
…
Inside the Jiuxiao Cloud Palace, Jiuqu Xingjun said coldly, "How dare you offend anyone? Don't you have a brain?"
"Master, please don't say anything about me. This is the first time I've met someone I really like, and I want to give it a try. Besides, I didn't expect Bei Liyuan to be so powerful."
Jiuqu Xingjun's eyes darkened. "How can you still be right? Even if you like someone, you shouldn't pursue them like this. If they don't have a Taoist partner, then that's fine. But if they do, you should just accept your fate. When did your master teach you to rob people by trickery?"
The Moon Goddess lowered her eyes in grievance: "But Master, I just like him, what can I do! I will never give up if I don't try. I'm not you. I have liked the Master of the War God for so long but never dared to express my feelings, and in the end he was snatched away..."
Jiuqu Star Lord looked over with cold eyes, and the Moon Goddess quickly kept silent.
"Think carefully about where you went wrong and write a million-word letter of repentance. I'll come out when you've finished it."
"ah?"
"Ah what?! Don't think about freedom until you finish writing."
"oh!"
Jiuqu Xingjun left. What kind of disciple did he accept? After reaching this level of cultivation, he still has to lick his old face and beg a junior for help!
…
When Bei Liyuan was chasing back to the Jiuzhou Continent, he saw Fu Guangjun trying to please Li Youyang in a servile manner. He immediately became annoyed. He thought Fu Guangjun was so good-tempered that he went on and on. He walked up to him and knocked him thousands of miles away with one palm. Then he picked up Li Youyang and went back to the room.
Li Youyang frowned: "You... um"
After three days and three nights, Bei Liyuan finally let him go: "Master, do you know that you left without a word, and I was almost scared to death."
Li Youyang remained silent. Firstly, he didn't want to bother with Bei Liyuan, and secondly, his voice was indeed hoarse from shouting.
Bei Liyuan hugged Li Youyang and said softly, "I will never be separated from you again. If you encounter a love rival or trouble again, just defeat him directly. Don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
Li Youyang said hoarsely, "I don't want to go back to the God Realm."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Bei Liyuan lowered his head and kissed Li Youyang on the lips.
"Master, I heard you're back! You... well, you guys continue. I'll come to see you later."
Nangong Liuchu hurriedly left. How come after so much time had passed, these two were still so affectionate?
"Come in."
Nangong Liuchu then reentered the room and said, "I heard that Master had returned. I was so anxious to get here because I was afraid that Master would leave again. Is the matter of the universe over?"
Li Youyang nodded: "It has been resolved."
Nangong Liuchu asked with concern, "Are Master and Junior Brother injured?"
Bei Liyuan was a little impatient: "No."
Nangong Liuchu asked again, "Then are Master and Junior Brother still leaving?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "I'm not leaving for now."
Nangong Liuchu smiled and said, "That's great. I'm getting married in half a month. Master and Junior Brother must attend."
As he spoke, he handed out the invitation, and the two took it: "We will definitely be there."
