Chapter 125
Upon hearing this, Luo Suyi's heart skipped a beat.
How could he know?
The turmoil of thoughts lasted only a couple of breaths.
Zhu Yuan impatiently raised his hand. This time, the black mist was accompanied by a world-destroying pressure, but it just so happened that it did not hurt Uncle Zhang, who was holding the child and was already in a daze at the corner.
Luo Suyi bit her lip and was about to turn around and flee from this place, but as soon as she took a step, she felt a pain in her chest.
Zhu Yuan's black mist actually penetrated her body!
"Zhu Yuan!" Luo Suyi exclaimed in surprise, and then instinctively wanted to fight back, but for some reason she forcibly suppressed it.
Those eyes were moist, and there was a hint of a triumphant smile.
"I'll release her, then let me go."
"Um."
Zhu Yuan's tone was calm, but the threat beneath that calm was terrifying enough.
Just as Luo Suyi released the middle-aged woman, Uncle Zhang, who was trembling in the corner, rushed forward and hugged the middle-aged woman who seemed to have lost her soul!
"Can you let me go now?" Luo Suyi said, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Zhu Yuan clenched the demonic energy in his hand, but in the end, he used only a single wisp of demonic energy to blast her out of the room.
Seeing the disbelief in her eyes, Zhu Yuan gave a light, sarcastic remark:
"I have said before that I am not as easily fooled as Lu Xuanzhi. First you forced Lu Xuanzhi to kill you, and now you are trying to take advantage of my temperament to kill me with your own hands."
The beauty mark under his eye seemed indifferent for no reason. "Your heart in the demon realm is truly big, but your father is senile. He just gave you the demon realm's most precious treasure like that."
"How could you know the function of my demon realm's most precious treasure?" Luo Suyi lowered her eyes, then gritted her teeth. "It is said that the Demon Lord does not concern himself with the affairs of the demon realm, but now it seems that it is too secretive for anyone to know!"
Zhu Yuan ignored her speculation.
He indeed doesn't concern himself with the affairs of the Demon Realm. The fact that he planted spies in the other realms was all done by those mentally unstable demons.
But why should he explain it to her?
The treasures of the demon realm are so powerful that if someone kills the person who has recognized the treasure as their master, that person will become completely devoted to it and will never do anything else.
She may seem petty, but if Lu Xuanzhi kills her once, and he kills her a second time, with him and Lu Xuanzhi protecting her, she could indeed rise to prominence in the Six Realms.
As for why she still went through that whole charade with Lu Xuanzhi...
"You are in love with Lu Xuanzhi," Zhu Yuan said with certainty.
After the long-hidden secret was exposed, Luo Suying smiled through her tears.
"So what? Do you dare to kill me? Heh..." She seemed to have obtained an invincible magic weapon, showing no fear whatsoever.
But Zhu Yuan merely dismissed it lightly, "Do you think only your demon realm possesses such a treasure?"
Luo Suying's face was pale, but she forced a smile: "After the old Demon Lord died, the Demon Realm's most precious treasure was also lost. You don't need to put on airs here."
"You can give it a try." Zhu Yuan said calmly, his gaze as if looking at an ant, which inexplicably instilled fear in Luo Suyi.
She bit her lip, then snorted coldly and disappeared on the spot!
Zhu Yuan did not chase after them, but only glanced at the family of three embracing each other before turning around and stepping out of the room.
"Xiao Yuan, thank you!" A familiar male voice sounded from behind.
Zhu Yuan gave a slight smile, but never turned back.
Wherever he goes, he brings disaster to those around him.
Zhu Yuan calmly watched as the black mist in his hand, seemingly capable of destroying the world, dissipated little by little...
His face was extremely pale.
This is the weakness of a mortal body, but fortunately, the woman was also timid and hesitant.
Upon glancing up and seeing Ling Wu, he didn't have time to think it over. He pretended that nothing had happened and strode towards Ling Wu.
"elder sister……"
Unfortunately, the woman's gentle voice remained unchanged, but instead of saying "Xiao Yuan" as she had hoped, she softly said, "Zhu Yuan."
A barely perceptible bitterness flashed across Zhu Yuan's face, but she still smiled and said, "Why is Sister calling Xiao Yuan by her full name? Did Xiao Yuan do something wrong? Sister can tell Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan will correct it!"
Ling Wu shook her head. "Xiao Yuan is already dead."
These words were like pushing Zhu Yuan into an ice cellar.
He stood there, stunned, not knowing what to say, only feeling a dull pain in his chest.
Lu Xuanzhi had never seen Zhu Yuan look so lost and dejected before. The young man in front of him gradually resembled the Demon Lord with his fluttering robes from that day.
"Zhu Yuan, the situation is dire, the Six Realms are heading towards destruction. Where exactly is your Demon Realm's treasure?" Lu Xuanzhi asked frankly.
Zhu Yuan lowered his head, his hand, which was about to touch Ling Wu's hem, paused in mid-air.
He raised his face, his pale complexion and the beauty mark under his eye making him look even more pitiful. "Will you send me away?"
Seeing him staring at Ling Wu, Lu Xuanzhi finally fell silent, unable to express the thousand words he wanted to say.
"You can leave if you want, or stay if you want, but you are you, and Xiaoyuan is Xiaoyuan." Lingwu did not use this to restrain him.
The glimmer of hope that had just risen in Zhu Yuan's eyes was crushed by the second half of his sentence.
Her clear voice trembled slightly, making it a little hoarse. "I was the one who wished him well, so why were you like that to him, but so indifferent to me?"
"Zhu Yuan's wishes, a difference of one word, yet a world of difference."
Her beautiful, clear eyes seemed to hold the weight of half a lifetime of mist and rain.
But Zhu Yuan only felt a sense of alienation and indifference.
"But the wish is for me, so how am I any different from him?"
Seeing that he was still lingering on the subject and unwilling to extricate himself, Lingwu said, "If Xiaoyuan were here, even if he had absolutely no connection with you, he would only bow his head and apologize. Perhaps that's the difference. Besides, didn't you want to be who you are now back then?"
"But people are greedy, and becoming a demon queen will only make them more greedy." Zhu Yuan lowered her long eyelashes, didn't continue speaking, and turned to leave.
But after a few steps, he slightly turned his head:
“Five hundred years ago, the Demon Realm’s most precious treasure disappeared along with the fall of the previous Demon Lord.” His voice was low, yet extremely clear.
"The most precious treasure of the demon realm is with Jiu Su; I know nothing about the rest." As soon as he finished speaking, a black mist enveloped him, and his figure disappeared.
Lingwu stared at the spot where he had left, remaining motionless and silent for a long time.
"Xiao Wu..." Lu Xuanzhi called out to her, about to comfort her.
Ke Lingwu had already come to her senses. She pressed the domain ring on her wrist and murmured, "It's with the Heavenly Emperor."
"Xiao Wu, are you referring to the Demon Realm's supreme treasure? But if the Heavenly Emperor wanted to gather all the supreme treasures of the six realms, then why... would he entrust the Immortal Realm's supreme treasure to you?"
He looked down at the gold bracelet on Ling Wu's wrist.
Ling Wu stroked the area, "It's a counterfeit."
"This is a counterfeit?" Lu Xuanzhi was surprised for a moment.
“A true celestial treasure can ignore everything within its domain, its killing intent invisible.” Ling Wu took the domain off and tossed it upwards. “But a replica can only imprison specific people in this space; otherwise, it’s useless. However… it will also make it easier for me to find Jiu Su.”
Despite being severely injured, Luo Suyi did not sense anything strange about her surroundings.
She gritted her teeth and entered the mansion, but her emotions were stirred when she saw the immortal in white.
"Xuanzhi, you're finally back."
The long sword in the white-clad, aloof man's hand was gone, but a slender figure appeared beside him.
High above, backlit, the woman in white could not be seen clearly.
All she could see was the gorgeous skirt fluttering slightly in the wind, and the intimacy of the man who had been with her for two years but remained perpetually cold.
Even the white hair ribbon, which usually carried a sense of distance, seemed to be following its owner's wishes, constantly entwining itself around the woman...
Luo Suyi couldn't help but feel her heart pounding with anger!
