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 87: Demon Lord's Subjugation Technique Fragment
Inside a small inn in Yunshan Town, Bei Liyuan poured Li Youyang a cup of tea. "Master, do you think the tea I've been brewing lately is capturing more and more of your essence?"
Li Youyang took a sip and was about to respond when Zhou Gan hurried into the room. "What are you two planning? Why are you lifting the seal on the demon clan?"
Li Youyang put down the teacup: "Did you bring the fragment of the divine formula?"
Zhou Gan found a chair and sat down, then casually tossed the things to Li Youyang: "But if it was someone else who did this, I would definitely not let him off."
Li Youyang took it and took out the other fragments of the magic formula together. His fingertips moved quickly, and after a moment, a complex formation covered all the fragments. It took about half an hour, and the fragments of the magic formula were completely pieced together and restored to their original state.
Zhou Gan was slightly startled: "This is..."
Li Youyang gave the item to Bei Liyuan: "Improve it according to the method I gave you."
Bei Liyuan nodded, took his things and left.
Zhou Gan frowned. "Now can you tell me everything clearly? Why are you doing this?"
"The War of the Gods was actually caused by cultivators from other realms invading the Jiuzhou Continent. The fragments of the divine formula were forged by the Divine Lord who perished while fighting the disaster. They are artifacts that can suppress the cultivators from that realm. I received a warning from the Divine Lord at the Divine Lord's ruins. The disaster of that time might happen again, so I want to prepare in advance."
Zhou Gan's eyes darkened. "Then you can just state it directly. Li Youyang, the cultivators of the world will believe your words."
Li Youyang stroked the teacup with his fingertips: "Compared to the demons, they are, after all, a potential disaster in the future."
"What are your plans next?"
Li Youyang looked out the window. "To survive this catastrophe, the human, demon, and devil races must unite against the enemy. Their feud has lasted for countless ages, and it's time for it to come to an end."
“It’s difficult.”
Li Youyang said coldly, "It's just a battle away."
Zhou Gan was slightly startled: "You want me to lead the monks to slay the demons?"
"The demons have been hiding for years, finally breaking free. They will certainly not comply with their promises. Conflict with humans and demons will inevitably arise sooner or later."
Zhou Gan clenched his fist silently: "I'm afraid you will become the target of public criticism then."
Li Youyang smiled and said, "After being a god worshipped by everyone, it's quite interesting to be a shameless traitor who everyone wants to kill. Besides..."
"And what?"
Li Youyang curled his lips, looked at Zhou Gan and said meaningfully, "I actually really like seeing people get angry because they can't stand me but can't beat me."
Zhou Gan felt as if his heart skipped a beat. It was really hard not to be moved by Li Youyang, who had a bit of a mischievous and playful personality.
Zhou Gan laughed: "If you can't beat them, then join them. Look, I've become your die-hard party member. If one day you're unhappy or tired of being with Bei Liyuan, you can always come find me..."
"Senior Zhou, forget it. This day will never come." Bei Liyuan walked to Li Youyang's side and handed him the artifact. "Master, take a look. Are you satisfied?"
Li Youyang's fingertips moved quickly, the magic weapon started to work, and an ink-black vortex immediately appeared in the void.
Zhou Gan was shocked: "This is..."
Li Youyang put the things away: "It should be enough."
Bei Liyuan crossed his arms and said, "This is a special gift for the Red Fire Clan. Senior, it has been delivered. Isn't it time for you to leave?"
Zhou Gan frowned. "I worked so hard to come here, and I didn't even get a cup of tea. You want me to leave? No way."
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and said, "There's no door. You can go through the window. Oh, I forgot. You're old now. I'm afraid you can't lift your legs anymore."
"you!"
Bei Liyuan added: "It's okay, I can give you a ride."
As soon as he finished speaking, a palm attacked Zhou Gan. Zhou Gan looked down and raised his palm to meet the attack, and then he was actually shaken out of the guest room.
"Goodbye."
Zhou Gan clenched his fists, groaned, and dodged away.
Li Youyang was stunned for a moment: "Why did you suddenly fight with him?"
Bei Liyuan smiled sweetly at Li Youyang: "I simply don't like him."
Li Youyang: ...
Bei Liyuan gently put his arms around Li Youyang's waist and said, "It's just that my Youyang is too good, everyone wants to covet her."
Li Youyang held his forehead, thinking that he might be jealous!
Bei Liyuan lowered his head and leaned on Li Youyang's shoulder: "Master, your mind is too simple to see the dirty thoughts in their eyes, but don't worry, I will directly extinguish their little flames. Youyang, you are mine, and no one can snatch you from me."
Li Youyang felt helpless. This person had become more and more childish recently. "It's yours, it's yours. No one will snatch it from you. Even if they have it, they can't take it away from you."
Bei Liyuan smiled obediently.
Li Youyang said softly, "Can you let go?"
Bei Liyuan shook his head: "I don't want to let go, I don't want to let go for the rest of my life."
Li Youyang sighed silently. It seemed that he really had no way to deal with Bei Liyuan. After coming out of the Wheel of Changes Realm, he was reluctant to even say a harsh word.
"Master, are you... angry?"
Li Youyang shook his head and asked solemnly, "Li Yuan, what can I do to make you feel safe enough?"
Bei Liyuan quickly let go of his hand.
Li Youyang sighed again and ruffled Bei Liyuan's black hair: "Just pretend I didn't ask... well"
"Master, don't you want to know how to make me feel safe? It's actually very simple. Just do it this way."
As he said that, Bei Liyuan was about to kiss her again, but Fu Guangjun suddenly broke in: "Li Youyang, what the hell are you doing!"
Li Youyang awkwardly pushed Bei Liyuan away and asked, "Why are you here if you're not recuperating?"
"You're still asking me? Why did you want to lift the seal on the demons? Do you know the consequences of doing so?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Of course I understand."
"Clear?! What do you know? Now the human race wants to kill you, the demon race wants to kill you, and if you are not truly cooperating with the demon race, then the demon race will definitely kill you too! You are very strong, but you think you can fight against the entire Kyushu Continent on your own. That's too arrogant! And I'm seriously injured at this time..."
"This fellow Daoist is right. It is too arrogant for Daoist Li to want to fight against the Jiuzhou Continent on his own. However, it would be different if Daoist Li were willing to join my demon clan. Moreover, I can guarantee that no one in the Jiuzhou Continent would dare to disrespect you except me."
The Demon Lord sat down next to Li Youyang and looked at him: "Fellow Daoist Li, you might want to consider this."
Fu Guangjun looked at the Demon Lord coldly. The Demon Lord said gently, "Fu Guangjun, you don't have to look at me like that. You want him to live, and I can help him live. We are not necessarily enemies."
Fu Guangjun said solemnly: "Absolutely impossible."
The Demon Lord smiled and said nonchalantly, "If Fellow Daoist Li doesn't want to join my demon clan, then the first thing I'll do is kill him. Lord Fuguang and I have fought before, so you know I can do it. Instead of fighting me, why not try to persuade Fellow Daoist Li? After all, you don't want him to die, especially after what happened once."
Fu Guangjun clenched his fists tightly.
"I'm really impressed. I wasn't paying attention for a moment, and he ran away. Jun Wulan, don't you have any idea how badly you're injured?!"
The medicine man walked up to him with a dark face and said, "Alright, what can you do in this state? Stop causing trouble for them. If you really want to help them, then retreat and recuperate."
After saying that, he took Fu Guangjun and flew away on his sword.
The Demon Lord looked at the two men's backs and smiled: "What a pity, they are such good lobbyists."
Li Youyang said coldly, "If the demons are truly sincere, let the Demon Lord come personally next time."
The Demon Lord was stunned for a moment: "I don't understand what Fellow Daoist Li said."
Li Youyang stroked the teacup with his fingertips: "Li Yuan."
Before the 'Demon Lord' could react, Bei Liyuan had already attacked with a palm. The 'Demon Lord' hurriedly drew a formation to block it, but in just a moment, the protective formation was broken, and he was seriously injured and his mask shattered.
Li Youyang asked coldly, "Do you understand now?"
The Demon Lord stood up in a panic and bowed, "I will pass on Fellow Daoist Li's words to the Lord."
After the fake Demon Lord left, Bei Liyuan stretched and said, "Looks like I have to start working. Master, can you give me some rewards before I leave?"
Li Youyang:?
Bei Liyuan placed a gentle kiss on Li Youyang's forehead: "Didn't Master ask me what I should do to feel safe enough?"
Li Youyang looked at Bei Liyuan seriously. Bei Liyuan said gently, "No matter what time, Master always puts survival first. Is that okay with you, Master?"
Li Youyang laughed: "I'm looking at someone who wants to die all day long?"
Bei Liyuan didn't answer and said, "I'm leaving."
Li Youyang frowned slightly as he watched Bei Liyuan's departing figure. Did he really look like he didn't want to live? Although he did have two bad records, but... back then, he had no desires, no family to support, how could it compare to now? Now, he wished he could live forever.
…
The fake Demon Lord returned to the Demon Realm and went straight to the main hall: "Has the Lord not returned yet?"
The demon soldier bowed respectfully: "Reply General, I haven't returned yet."
The fake Demon Lord nodded slightly and sat down on a chair beside him, waiting.
The Demon Lord did not return until evening.
Just as the fake Demon Lord was about to kneel down, the Demon Lord interrupted him: "Are you injured?"
The fake Demon Lord nodded: "The other party saw through my identity early on and asked me to convey that if the Lord is sincere, he will go find them personally."
The Demon Lord nodded gently: "I understand, you can go down and recuperate."
After three breaths, seeing that the fake Demon Lord hadn't left yet, the Demon Lord said coldly, "Is there anything else?"
The fake Demon Lord silently clenched his fists, and finally couldn't help but speak: "My Lord, Li Youyang is now the target of public criticism. Both humans and demons want to kill them. They pose no threat at all. The seal on the demon clan has finally been lifted. There is really no need to waste time on insignificant people. It is better to go out and take revenge!"
The Demon Lord was silent.
The fake Demon Lord knelt hurriedly: "My subordinate spoke nonsense, please forgive me, my lord."
The Demon Lord said coldly: "You are also for the demon clan, get up."
The fake Demon Lord stood up, and the Demon Lord patted him on the shoulder: "Li Youyang's cultivation is extremely high, and now he is regarded as a traitor by the human and demon races. If we can take this opportunity to pull him over to our side, it will greatly benefit the demon race's hegemony. If not, I will personally eliminate him. You rest assured to recover from your injuries. Regardless of whether I succeed or not, I will lead the demon race to attack and kill the human race in ten days. Withdraw."
The fake Demon Lord's eyes lit up, and he bowed respectfully, "Yes."
After the fake Demon Lord left, the Demon Lord sighed silently.
