Chapter 55: Let it be

Just before he was engulfed by the evil spirit, a net as vast as the starry sky enveloped him first, protecting him tightly inside.

"Mu Yinshen, are you crazy?! Don't you know the consequences of having your body corroded by evil spirits?!"

The angry voice was right beside his ears. Mu Yinshen turned around like a puppet, his eyes empty. He said to the person who suddenly appeared here: "Thank you for not worrying so much..."

"What…?"

Tang Fengshan was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Mu Yinshen to say this suddenly. He just felt that Mu Yinshen was like a body with a drained soul, lifeless.

The demonic energy was isolated outside the barrier, which also blocked the sunlight. The vision was greatly obstructed, making Tang Fengshan unable to see the current situation clearly.

He didn't want to come here at first, but when he inadvertently calculated in the house, he found that the star map had changed abruptly, as if some invisible force was controlling it, causing the originally orderly star map to become chaotic. It was this discovery that made him nervous, and thinking that today was the day when the leaders of all major sects would gather together to deal with the birth of the Demon Lord, he immediately rushed here without stopping.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Mu Yinshen, the idiot, kneeling at the edge of the crack, motionless, and he seemed to be unaware of the monstrous demonic energy attacking him. He did not even bother to ask other cultivators how they were doing. He immediately came to Mu Yinshen's side and put up a protective barrier.

Although the evil energy this time was strong, it was short-lived and quickly receded like the tide. With the experience of the first time, no one was in trouble this time.

The thick demonic aura faded away, as if the gloomy weather had cleared up, the sun reappeared, and the sunlight bathed everyone, but the scene before him made Tang Fengshan unbelievable.

The long sword at Mu Yinshen's feet was thrown away casually on the ground, stained with dust and blood. There was blood on the ground and on Mu Yinshen's body. What else did Tang Fengshan not understand?

Mu Yinshen killed Xie Buyou...?

The star barrier disappeared into the air along with Tang Fengshan's thoughts. He just stood there, looking down at everything here, a nameless fire surging in his heart.

He pulled Mu Yinshen up from the ground, suppressed his anger and asked him word by word, "Why did you do this?"

Mu Yinshen did not resist at all, and at the same time he kept asking himself in his heart why he did this? Why did he suddenly push his worries into the cracks?

His silence made Tang Fengshan even angrier, and he wished he could throw him and his sword into the crack right now.

He even felt a little regretful inside, thinking that he shouldn't have saved him!

"Xie Senior Brother! Where is Xie Senior Brother?!"

Tang Su hurried over and looked around, but Senior Brother Xie was nowhere to be seen.

The incident happened too suddenly, and a series of unexpected situations caused other people to pay no attention to it, so no one knew what happened.

Everyone else gathered around to inquire about Xie Buyu's whereabouts, but they only saw Tang Fengshan's angry face, tightly grabbing Mu Yinshen's collar. Mu Yinshen closed his eyes and did not resist at all.

What was going on? Why was it suddenly like a fight was about to break out? Wasn't Tang Fengshan still saving people just now? How did it turn out like this in the blink of an eye?

"Brother, say something!" Tang Su shouted excitedly to Tang Fengshan.

This was the first time in many years that Tang Su called Tang Fengshan brother. The familiar yet unfamiliar title made Tang Fengshan close his eyes.

He let go of Mu Yinshen, and after a while, he spoke calmly, "Thank you for not falling down."

These words made Mu Yin open his eyes deeply, and he looked at Tang Fengshan with a little disbelief.

He was talking about Xie Buyou falling down...why did you cover it up for him?

Tang Fengshan didn't give any explanation, nor did he even look at him. He just said, "The demons will be here soon, everyone be prepared."

Then he turned to Tang Su who was standing on the edge of the crack and said, "You'd better not think about going down to save people. The situation down there is not something you can bear."

I don’t know if Tang Su heard it or not. She just stood there at the edge of the crack in a daze.

Tang Fengshan was not afraid that he would really jump down. Even if he did, he would stop him. The demons had not arrived yet, and they could not lose any more people.

Not long after, the demons arrived as expected, and there were quite a few of them.

Fortunately, everyone had already made preparations in advance, and was just waiting for the demons to arrive to start a conflict that would never end.

…

Beneath the bottomless cracks is a red hot current that is boiling like a vein. The magma is unevenly distributed, and the boiling color illuminates the entire underground.

In a cave somewhere, a father and son sat cross-legged in the middle.

"Father, didn't you say that daddy would fall down from here? Why haven't I seen daddy fall down yet?" Ye Youn looked up from time to time. It was pitch black. The person they were waiting for never showed up.

The young man in black remained silent, just stroking his chin and thinking.

After a few seconds, he doubted himself and said, "Could it have fallen somewhere else?" Then he changed his mind and said, "That's not right. I remember that I fell from here. Could something have happened?"

"Could it be that we are waiting in the wrong place?" Ye You withdrew his gaze and scanned the surroundings. The ground was all magma, and only the platform where they were was safe. There were rock walls all around and there was nothing special about it. There was a hole above his head, which just corresponded to the platform.

He was very familiar with this place. It could be said that he was born here and had been here for nearly a thousand years. He knew every corner of this place. Ye You imitated Ye Feiyu and touched his chin, thinking: "Is it possible that there are many places like this?"

“…Is that so?”

Ye Feiyu began to doubt himself. Although he had stayed here longer than Ye You, he basically didn't go anywhere else except to guard his wife's body. He never considered that he might have found the wrong place, and he didn't know that there were caves in other places exactly like this one.

Facing his son's questioning gaze, Ye Feiyu felt guilty, touched his nose and shut up.

Ye You said helplessly: "Father, you are really unreliable..."

Suddenly, he heard a slight movement. Ye Youn slowly stood up and patted his clothes. Then he looked at his father and found that his father was looking at him.

Ye You paused and said, "I'll go meet them. Father, please find the cave where daddy fell as soon as possible." After that, Ye You strode away.

After Ye You left, Ye Feiyu was still sitting there motionless. He looked up in confusion, still not understanding why his wife didn't fall down from here? He still didn't think he was in the wrong place, after all, the place where he was sitting now had a turtle because of his boredom.

Ye Feiyu moved a little, revealing the little turtle carved under his butt, and stared at it.

One second, two seconds...

After a brief thought, Ye Feiyu gave up thinking, got up and left the cave.

Maybe he has lived too long and has become senile. How could he carve something as childish as a turtle? It must be a dragon, right? So this place is definitely not a good place to lose your wife.

Not long after Ye Feiyu left, a white figure fell from the big mouth at the top and slammed heavily on the table.

“Cough cough… cough cough cough…”

The violent collision caused Xie Buyou to cough uncontrollably, and soon his vision became blurry. He just felt dizzy and heavy.

Xie Buyou soon passed out due to the continuous injuries. The wound on his chest was still bleeding, staining the entire table red, and also the little turtle carved red...

…

The people led by Mo Wanli came to a strange place. It seemed that there were traces of people living here. There was an empty hall, a stone chair on a high platform, and the molten lava was divided into two sides, becoming the only light source in this hall.

However, this was not the reason for them to be alert, but the red-haired man sitting in the high position.

The man was wearing a black mask with a weird smile, his red hair was scattered around the stone chair, and he was wearing a loose blood-red suit. He was looking down at them, and the powerful pressure emanating from his body made it almost impossible for them to resist.

The man in red was warning them.

“Is this the Demon Lord?”

Some people subconsciously thought that the only person who could appear here besides them was the Demon Lord.

Tang Qingyan shook his head and denied what the man said, "He is not the Demon Lord. He does not have the aura of a demon."

"It's a spirit." Qian Qiudai also saw it. Thinking that the red-haired man on the platform was a spirit, he felt a little unbelievable in his heart, because the opponent's strength was really too strong.

"I didn't expect that before the Demon Lord was born, a spirit would already appear here. I can't see through his strength." Qian Qiudai said and looked at the two people beside him, "What about you? Can you tell how strong he is?"

Mo Wanli shook his head, his face solemn. He couldn't see through the opponent's strength, which was enough to show that the red-haired man was much stronger than all of them.

As long as the red-haired man wanted, none of them could leave here alive.

"Have you discussed enough?"

At this time the red-haired man spoke, "Looking at your expressions, I should know that you are no match for me. So, do you want to live or die next?" He said half-jokingly.

At this time Mo Wanli took a step forward. Since they had come here, the most important thing they needed to do now was to stop the Demon Lord from being born, no matter what would happen in the future.

"Do you know that the Demon Lord is about to be born?" Mo Wanli asked him in a deep voice.

"I know." The red-haired man nodded, wanting to know what the other party would say next.

"Then do you know what consequences the birth of the Demon Lord will bring?"

“……” This time the red-haired man didn’t say anything.

But this did not prevent Mo Wanli from continuing, "The Demon Lord must have held a grudge against the seal a thousand years ago. Only by sealing the Demon Lord again or completely destroying him can we ensure that the world is not in chaos."

"We cannot fathom your true strength, but you must have lived for at least a thousand years, so you should know the consequences."

The air was quiet for a few seconds, and then the red-haired man suddenly sneered.

"What you said is very interesting. How do you know that the Demon Lord will hate you because of the seal thousands of years ago? He is very happy now."

"Don't say I hate you. I have to thank you. Otherwise, they wouldn't have met, and there wouldn't be me."

The red-haired man raised his sleeves and turned his back to them. "You don't have to say anything more. I'll let you go. Leave here quickly... I promise that the Demon King will not be born."

The sudden hurricane blinded their eyes. Mo Wanli forced himself to open his eyes in the wind and saw the red-haired man turning around and taking off his mask.

Why does he feel that the red-haired man looks familiar?

Unfortunately, the scene in front of them was too blurry and unreal. When they opened their eyes again, they were already back on the Mangya, with an abyss-like chasm at their feet.

They still underestimated the red-haired man's strength and didn't expect that he would send them up so easily. It was obvious that the other party could have killed them more easily, but he didn't. Instead, he let them go.

Mo Wanli didn't dare to delve into what the other party said. How could he guarantee that the Demon Lord would not be born?

Tang Qingyan and Qian Qiudai, who also found it difficult to understand the meaning of the red-haired man's words, looked at each other. Mang Ya's fighting quickly attracted their attention.

It's the demon clan!

The demons had indeed arrived, and they seemed quite prepared. Their people were being beaten back step by step, and they had no time to think any further, so they quickly flew forward to help.

The demons were coming in force, and the leader was even more powerful. Mo Wanli flew in front of him and confronted him.

The leader of the demon clan laughed loudly, "No one can stop our demon king from being born today. No one here can leave alive today!"

Mo Wanli snorted coldly, "Then let's see if you have the ability to keep all of us here."

After saying that, he stepped forward and started fighting with him. The two men were equally matched in strength, and the pressure from the fight even affected the people around them.

"Father."

Tang Fengshan shouted as soon as he saw Tang Qingyan.

Tang Qingyan nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he destroyed the demon in front of him, then stopped and asked him.

"Are you injured?"

"No." Tang Fengshan shook his head, then looked at the chaotic scene, "The demons came prepared, probably because they thought their demon king would definitely appear today."

Then he looked at his father, "Father, how is the situation here? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Tang Qingyan looked sad and sighed, "We met a red-haired man down there. His strength is unfathomable. He waved his hand and drove us back here."

As for how much truth or falsehood the red-haired man said, he had no way of telling.

"Even Sect Master Wan is no match for him?" Tang Fengshan was surprised. "Isn't he the Demon Lord himself?"

As soon as he said that, he felt it was impossible. If it was the Demon Lord himself, he would not let them go so easily.

"No." Tang Qingyan waved his sleeves, "No matter what, it's already been decided, let's just leave it to fate."
