Past
After the great war between immortals and demons, Shan Miao was seriously injured and the immortals were sealed in the underworld.
The Medical Master treats Shan Miao and unexpectedly discovers that she is pregnant. However, the demonic energy has already entered her body, which has a profound impact on her. If he wants to save Shan Miao, he will lose the baby.
Shan Miao felt guilty and asked the doctor to keep the secret. She gave up treatment and used her remaining life to give birth to a baby girl, naming her Guiyun.
The moment Guiyun was born, all the demonic energy within the Jiming Seal spontaneously poured into her body, like an endless abyss, capable of accommodating any amount of demonic energy within that tiny body. The Medical Master and the Wind God were horrified and immediately hid the little girl.
When the Heavenly Lord inquired about the situation, the Wind God only said that Shan Miao had absorbed all the evil energy in the seal before his death, restoring clarity to everyone.
For the next hundred years, Guiyun grew up in hiding, never discovered by the other immortals, and only knew two outsiders: the Rain God and Liuyu. She thought her life would be peaceful until one day, while playing with Liuyu, she took the wrong path and ran into the Heavenly Monarch.
Those red eyes were exactly like those of the demons. The Heavenly Lord immediately ordered Gui Yun to be captured and executed. If it weren't for the intercession of the Wind God and the Rain God, she would have died long ago.
Yiwu was lost in memories for a moment, and her expression was not very good.
Ling Hua mistakenly believed that he was dissatisfied with Changyao and was going to part ways with them, so she spoke out to persuade him, "Brother Qin, the world is in turmoil right now, and it's time for us all to work together. Don't worry, Changyao is not someone who can't distinguish between the important and the urgent, and she will definitely not target you again."
As he spoke, he glanced at Changyao subtly, with an implicit warning in his eyes.
Yiwu came back to her senses, still somewhat resistant.
Jian Qinyuan didn't understand what was going on in her mind. She had gone to such great lengths to infiltrate Ji Ming, and now she was so unwilling to go back. He looked left and right, but didn't say anything.
"Your Highness, we have all witnessed the situation of the demon race. We don't really need Qin Mo to testify."
Liu Yu lowered his head slightly and spoke for Yi Wu, "The Blood Demon Fruit that Qin Mo obtained from the Demon King is in the hands of War God Ling Hua. I'm sure the Heavenly Monarch will believe it."
"After all, having both witnesses and physical evidence is more convincing," Jun Xuan smiled and looked at Yi Wu with some anticipation, "right, Qin Mo?"
All eyes were focused on Yiwu, waiting for her reply.
This is indeed an opportunity. Yi Wu had just tried to persuade Jiufang Mingyuan but failed. If she could convince the Heavenly Emperor to return the Yin-Yang Universe Pearl, perhaps the conflict between the immortals and demons could be settled.
Yi Wu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you."
The tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared, Jun Xuan smiled, turned around and continued walking forward.
Jian Qinyuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you want to go to Ji Ming again?"
Yi Wu sneered and shrugged, lowering her voice: "I'm afraid the Heavenly Lord will execute me again."
"Again?" Jian Qinyuan was confused and almost lost control of his voice. "Why? You are the hero who opened the seal. The Heavenly Emperor should reward you. Why would he execute you? He wanted to execute you before too. Why?"
He had too many questions, and Yi Wu was too lazy to answer them. She just shook her head and walked forward.
On the way back to Ji Ming, the two sides began to exchange what they had recently investigated.
The wanted order for Wan Mingguo has been revoked. The emperor wanted them because he suspected they had killed Feiqin.
It turns out Feiqin had accidentally saved Concubine Yuan's life, and Yuan regarded her as her savior. Despite their status differences, they became close friends and were particularly valued. After Feiqin disappeared in Xicheng, Yuan Xingquan reported their suspicious behavior to Concubine Yuan, which led to the wanted order.
When the Emperor and Concubine Yuan heard that Feiqin was a fox demon, their reactions were filled with fear and a bit of strangeness. They rushed over to rescue her and had no time to find out the reason.
Yi Wu, feeling suspicious, happened to be passing by Wanming Country and called out to Jun Xuan, "The demon clan's conspiracy hasn't been fully investigated yet, so we can't just go back like this. Right now, everything we have is just speculation. Without solid evidence, it will be hard for the Heavenly Emperor to believe it."
"Besides, the mission assigned to Your Highness by the Heavenly Monarch has not yet been completed."
Everyone stopped and discussed it seriously. They had to admit that what she said made a lot of sense, so they changed their route and attacked the city.
It’s been less than a month since the last attack on the city, but a lot has happened in the meantime.
They were all injured to varying degrees, and staying in ordinary restaurants might cause panic, so they could only stay in Changling Sect and investigate the collusion between Changling Sect and the demon clan.
When we arrived at the mountain gate, the sun had just risen, and the sunlight filtered through the branches, creating spots of light of varying sizes.
The gatekeeper disciple of Changling Sect recognized Ling Hua and rushed in to report to the Sect Master.
Upon hearing that the Immortal Prince and the God of War were coming in person, Sect Leader Wang Suyang personally came down the mountain, welcomed them respectfully, and arranged for them to rest in a room.
Everyone suffered only superficial injuries. After settling down, they helped each other treat the wounds and apply medicine, and then took a short rest.
After being nervous all night, Yi Wu felt a little tired. She picked a long couch at random, lay down with her clothes on, and closed her eyes to take a nap.
The others lay down to rest one after another. Someone was snoring in the next room, and the snoring was particularly loud when it came over here.
There were disciples of the Changling Sect guarding the gate of the courtyard, secretly watching their every move.
Time passed quickly, and half a day passed quickly.
Yi Wu wasn't sleeping soundly. She woke up almost immediately when footsteps sounded at the door. She didn't open her eyes, but just listened attentively to everything around her.
The figure stood at the door for a long time, as if waiting for someone. Finally, someone walked out of the room, and the two stood in the yard and talked in a low voice.
"Are you angry? I really didn't want to shoot Qin Mo at that time, believe me."
"Fairy Changyao, there's no need to explain. I know."
Hearing whose voice it was, Yi Wu quietly opened her eyes and turned towards the window.
Liu Yu didn't misunderstand, but he still kept his distance from her, which broke Chang Yao's heart. She turned her head and looked into the room. "Qin Mo is a woman, right? Otherwise, I can't understand why you think so highly of him."
"I used to think that as long as I stayed by your side, one day, when you had forgotten Gui Yun, you might be able to see the good in me. But ever since Qin Mo showed up, you only have room for him."
Following her gaze, Liu Yu looked at the person on the couch in the room.
After a long silence, Liu Yu withdrew his gaze, sighed, and gently advised: "I am deeply grateful for the favor of Fairy Changyao. I am unworthy of it."
"There are tens of thousands of men in the world. You don't need to worry about me alone. Even without Qin Mo and Gui Yun, we wouldn't have achieved anything. I hope Fairy Changyao won't let my emotions get the better of you in the future.
When he said this, he was as gentle and distant as ever, and he looked a little injured, with his lips slightly pale.
Changyao stared at him intently, a little distraught. "You mean, even if there's no one else, you can never love me in this life, right?"
Liu Yu did not speak again, but turned his face away slightly and remained silent.
Two lines of hot tears rolled down her face, Changyao took a few steps back and flew away.
The surroundings became quiet again, with no other sounds except the birds singing in the branches outside.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is ruthless, it is destined to be sad..."
Jian Qinyuan yawned and turned over, looking at the back of Yiwu's head and whistled, "Stop pretending, I know you are awake."
Yiwu didn't move until Liuyu came in to pour her some tea, then she slowly sat up.
The three of them pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth. They gathered around the table to drink tea and no one spoke.
Combined with recent events, Jian Qinyuan was almost certain that Liu Yu already knew Yi Wu's true identity. He knew that she was Yi Wu and also knew that she was Gui Yun, but he just didn't expose it.
The disciples of Changling Sect brought a few lunch boxes at the right time, and served them delicious meals and a few pots of fine wine.
Jun Xuan invited everyone to have dinner together, and everyone realized that one person was missing.
"Where's Changyao?" Ling Hua looked around but couldn't find anyone anywhere, and felt a little worried.
Jian Qinyuan glanced at Liu Yu and said in a half-joking, half-serious tone, "He was pissed off by Immortal Lord Liu Yu."
Ling Hua guessed something from his expression, and her face turned unhappy. "At this moment, her mind is still full of romantic feelings. When will she mature a little?"
He didn't mean to blame Liu Yu. He couldn't let him pretend to coax others.
"Forget it, it's human nature. Why get so angry?" Jun Xuan poured herself a glass of wine, raised it with both hands, and toasted the person opposite her from afar, "Thank you, Qin Mo, for saving my life. If you hadn't shown up in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be here anymore."
Yi Wu poured herself a glass of wine and clinked glasses with him, "Your Highness, there's no need to be polite. This is just to repay you for saving my life."
Both parties raised their heads to drink, and the others followed suit and picked up their chopsticks.
Yiwu finished her drink and stroked the glass, seeming to be lost in thought.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the wine?" Jian Qinyuan took the wine jug and poured himself a glass, but didn't smell anything wrong.
Yi Wu slowly put down her wine glass and turned to look around. Seeing no one from the Changling Sect, she spoke, "The wine is fine, it just seems familiar."
"Try it, it tastes exactly like the Ecstasy Wine from Yaoyue Tower."
Hearing this, Ling Hua and the others picked up the wine jugs, poured wine, and tasted it carefully.
Jun Xuan had never been to Yaoyue Tower and didn't know what was wrong with it. Ling Hua explained it to him, and only then did he understand. He stood up and said, "This Wang Suyang..."
"Your Highness, please wait." Yi Wu looked up and called out to him, "What are you looking for him for? If I confront him, he will definitely not admit it."
"On our way to the demon tribe, I heard from other captains that the Changling Sect had broken with the demon king. Even if you ask him, he will definitely not admit it."
Jun Xuan sat down again and gradually calmed down. "I was so angry... Wait, the first blood demon vine you found was at the foot of Changling Sect's mountain. Can he still deny it?"
Jian Qinyuan put down his wine glass and advised, "Your Highness, you don't know that Wang Suyang has always been a sinister and cunning person. Even if the blood demon vine was right at the foot of his mountain, he would find a reason to excuse himself or pretend to be ignorant."
As he spoke, he remembered something and his eyes lit up, "Oh right, if we can find the token he gave to the demon tribe, it will be irrefutable evidence."
Yi Wu also remembered that the demons had indeed disguised themselves as disciples of the Changling Sect and brought people into the cave with a token. As long as they found the token with demonic aura, they would be able to prove that Wang Suyang was colluding with the demons.
