Chapter 49 Chapter 49 "Are you willing to submit to me?"...
The zombie stared into space, shook his head, and said, "This is the second person to walk out of the Ice Flame Mirror. Sect Master Du, are you truly loyal to me?"
Du Wuzhu's face turned pale, and he knelt down and said, "I am guilty."
He glanced at Yao Ning and gritted his teeth, saying, "I would like to challenge Daoist Master Zixiao to a duel."
Jiangcan said: "You are no match for him."
Jiangcan closed his eyes, then opened them after a moment. "They haven't woken up yet. Kill them, and I'll make amends for your mistake."
Du Wuzhu was awed and kowtowed, accepting the order: "Yes!"
He knew clearly in his heart that if anyone except Yao Ningchenqian survived today, he would be the one to die.
He saw nothing else. He carried the flute on his back and walked out of the palace with steady steps. However, he had already calculated all the possibilities a thousand times in his mind.
There is no way out.
The Demon Lord never thought about being open and honest from the beginning. He believed that those who came were enemies and would die.
In Jiangcan's eyes, he could only see Yao Ning, and now he could probably see Chen Qian as well.
But if these two people cannot be used by him, they will naturally not escape death.
Du Wuzhu has done everything he can.
If I take one more step, I will fall into it myself.
He walked out of the Demon Lord's Palace. Ten thousand steps stretched down. Standing in front of the palace, he felt like he was on the edge of the clouds.
Looking down, the river was like a mirror, and the water and the sky were the same color. However, from his high vantage point, he could see that beneath the blue waves, dense swarms of demons were rapidly gathering towards the center of the river.
Those righteous cultivators were still trapped in the Ice and Flame Mirror and had not yet woken up, completely defenseless. The demons with horns on their heads, wings on their backs, sharp beaks and teeth could easily tear the flesh and blood of sleeping people, chew up their bones, and even absorb their Nascent Soul Golden Elixir in the fight with their companions.
The demons that ultimately win will devour the Nascent Soul Golden Cores of these people. If they do not explode and die, their cultivation will be able to reach a higher level.
Every demon will not miss this opportunity.
The skylight made Du Wuzhu's face look extremely beautiful. As he looked at this scene from afar, there was only desolation in his sentimental eyes.
He sighed silently in his heart.
Du Fengyan, you can live a good life, why do you want to die?

Bai Su carried the knife on his shoulder, his hands hanging on it, and said to the Demon Lord with a nonchalant smile: "Let me deal with the pretty boy?"
Jiangcan sat on the throne, looking down at Yao Ning who was struggling on the ground.
Bai Su narrowed his eyes and took a step forward calmly, just blocking half of Yao Ning's body: "Your Majesty forgot, this woman must be left to me."
The silkworm said, "Are you willing to surrender?"
Bai Su was stunned, then realized that these words were directed at Yao Ning.
Yao Ning crawled on the ground, raised his head with difficulty, and his clear black eyes met the Supreme of the Demon Realm on the high platform.
She smiled with the corners of her lips pulled: "In the past, I only knelt before Master, and it will be the same from now on."
"Master?"
Bai Su thought for a long time: "The leader of the Xuanqing Sect of the Righteous Path is called Gu Shichen. He is a mediocre person with no real use."
Yao Ning smiled: "What a coincidence, someone said the same thing about my master a few days ago."
Bai Su raised an eyebrow: "Oh? It seems I remembered correctly."
"At that time, I told her that I was the least capable disciple under Master, and asked her to compete with me." Yao Ning's voice was flat, as if joking with a friend. "I wonder if Protector Bai has the courage of that girl?"
"Immortal Master Yao Ning, do you want me to remove the pressure and restraints on you?" asked the zombie.
Yao Ning knew that Jiangcan was not Bai Su and would not be easily provoked. However, he was weak at the moment and he didn't know when Chen Qian would be able to find Shang Linran and the others, so he naturally had to delay for a while.
She looked up at the Demon Lord from below, and this angle made her almond-shaped eyes reveal a rare charm.
"I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to do it for me?"
Without waiting for the silkworm to answer, she continued, "Actually, compared to removing the restraints, I'd rather see His Majesty's face behind the mask."
The silkworm paused in its movement to get up.
Yao Ning looked up at him and said in a clear voice, "We've known each other for a long time, but I've never even seen what you look like. In our human world, isn't this in line with how we treat our friends?"
Jiangcan's face, which was covered with a woman's mask, tilted slightly and he slowly sat back down. "Friend? Do you consider me a friend?"
Yao Ning moved his neck to relieve the accumulated pain and said casually, "I regard Your Majesty as my best friend, but it's a pity that the falling flower has feelings, but the flowing water is ruthless."
Bai Su listened, his eyebrows twitching violently, and he looked at Yao Ning gloomily and warily: "What are you doing?"
Yao Ning shut up and stopped talking.
The silkworm sat on the throne, looking down at the woman on the ground. After a while, he asked her again, "Are you willing to submit to me?"
Yao Ning raised his eyes to look at him and said seriously, "I don't want to."
Jiangcan nodded: "The Immortal Venerable is like flowing water to me."
Yao Ning was stunned. Before he could react, he saw the Demon Lord stand up and take a step forward.
In the main hall, on the gilded crane candlestick, the faint phosphorescent light suddenly shot up to more than a foot high, illuminating every detail of the hall.
Yao Ning then discovered that the hall, which he thought was empty, was actually filled with demons wearing armor and holding weapons!
These demons have strange and deformed appearances, and almost all of them retain the parts of their original bodies before becoming demons, such as the wings of a bird of prey, or rugged and hard leather armor. If they become demons in human form, they will also have horns on their heads to show their identity.
In the world of cultivation, if a person has outstanding cultivation and abundant spiritual power, it can be revealed through the bones and flesh. Therefore, those who are in the Nascent Soul stage or the Out-of-Body stage all have fresh faces and are full of energy. Even a centenarian looks like a teenager of 28.
The same principle applies to the demon world. Those with high cultivation have demonic energy so strong that it overflows, and demonic energy lingers around their bodies, allowing people to tell the depth of the demon from a distance.
At first glance, these demons hiding in the dark were so shrouded in demonic energy that their faces were almost blurred.
Demons are bloodthirsty by nature and ignore rules.
These demons were as orderly and silent as a well-trained and disciplined army on earth.
The moment the Demon Lord stood up, all the demons in the hall knelt on one knee in unison, and the sound of armor clashing echoed throughout the hall.
The silkworm walked forward step by step. He didn't say anything, and the demon just knelt with his head down in silence.
He stopped ten feet away from Yao Ning, looking down from above. His voice was hoarse, but his tone contained a subtle regret: "Then I'll have to trouble you to die."
Bai Su's pupils shrank, and his hand gripping the knife handle suddenly tightened, but he saw the Demon Lord suddenly turn his head, and the white mask with thin eyebrows and red lips faced him, as if he could see clearly what he was thinking.
"You go and deal with Zixiao Daojun."
Bai Su wanted to force a laugh, but found that his facial muscles were out of control, as if a part of his body was suppressed by absolute power and became something that no longer belonged to him.
The Demon Lord didn't allow him to laugh, so he couldn't laugh in front of him.
His heart trembled, his Adam's apple rolled, and he knew that he could not disobey this time.
Bai Su knelt on one knee, bent his back deeply, and adopted the same submissive posture as the demons behind him: "Yes."
After uttering this word, he seemed to feel his facial features again, but he could no longer laugh when he looked at Yao Ning who had no power to resist and could only wait to die.
As Bai Su stepped away, the Demon Lord moved his fingers, and a slender vine pierced through the bricks and stones and pierced out from the ground. At the critical moment, Yao Ning turned his head and barely avoided the arrow-like tip.
But when he turned around, he saw that the bloody tip was less than an inch away from his eyes.
Yao Ning's pupils reflected the rapidly approaching vines, and the moment of death seemed to be stretched infinitely long.
*
Du Wuzhu stepped onto the ice mirror in the middle of the river.
The group of people still maintained the same posture as when they unfolded the Ice Flame Mirror, with panic, shock, anger... all kinds of emotions clearly and vividly frozen on their faces.
Du Wuzhu walked past several corpses of monsters, and under the gaze of a large group of monsters, he passed through several righteous cultivators outside and came to a petite woman.
One arm was across Adu's body, which was a subconscious protective gesture. The owner of the arm was dignified and maintained a leisurely demeanor even when danger suddenly approached.
This calmness in the face of adversity was naturally an eyesore to the enemy demons, but Du Wuzhu leisurely admired it for a moment.
"Impeccable." Du Wuzhu said softly, "Your vision is much better than hers."
He looked down at Adu with a gentle gaze, but gradually a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"You've already taken essence from him, no wonder you look so radiant."
There was a rustling sound everywhere, and the rain that had stopped for a while began to fall again. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the river water was dancing like white beads.
There was no sign of rain wetting his clothes. Du Wuzhu looked up and saw a huge transparent wind seal with ancient patterns flowing on it and dozens of orange and yellow dots on the edge.
Du Wuzhu was stunned for a moment, then recognized that it was the Xunfeng Seal from the Listening Wind Land in the human world.
His peach blossom eyes became more lonely and sad: "You could have lived a good life, why, why did you come?"
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his affectionate eyes were as calm as a deep pond.
The wing bones stabbed into the ice, making a dull sound, and a demon approached Du Wuzhu from behind.
"Master Du, why haven't you made your move yet?" The bat-winged demon, a size shorter than Du Wuzhu, circled around him. "If Your Majesty knew that you killed the monster that approached this group first, and that you lingered here—"
The Bat-Winged Demon chuckled and said, "Do you think His Majesty will be angry?"
Unlike this powerful demon, Du Wuzhu looks just like an ordinary person, except for his unique beauty of Taohua An.
He glanced at Tianmo lightly, and Tianmo was so frightened that he shuddered and became alert, thinking that he was going to attack.
Du Wuzhu quickly withdrew his gaze: "Your Majesty is not here, I will delay as long as I wish."
His voice was gentle and slow, without any pressure: "As long as the task is completed, even if you kill ten times more, what do you think, in front of His Majesty, is reward or punishment?"
The Bat-Winged Demon shuddered, looked at Du Wuzhu in fear, and stepped back step by step.
The sharp claws landed on the ice, causing a numbness in the scalp. In a corner where no one cared, Miss Liu from the Weishui Sword Sect frowned in annoyance and slowly opened her eyes.
She seemed to be pulled into an illusion, but everything she saw was exactly the same as what she had rehearsed in her mind not long ago because of the incident with the fairy boat. Although Miss Liu was frightened, she did not get deeply involved.
As a result, she became the first person to wake up among this group of people.
Miss Liu looked around, her back felt cold for a while, and she held her breath.
Du Wuzhu didn't care about this ant-like woman, not even glancing at her. He took out his flute and placed it against Ah Du's neck. He held her head with one hand, lowered his head to her ear, and said gently, "Demons are born without any knowledge of family affection. It's perfectly normal for brothers to kill each other, and for fathers and sons to eat each other."
"Sister, I promise it won't hurt."
He closed his eyes and put pressure on his hands.
The mirror was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Adu was still immersed in the Ice and Flame Mirror, unaware of what day it was.
She frowned slightly, as if she was moved by the fear in the heart of another person in the ice mirror.
The flute pierced into his flesh. Adu frowned in pain and groaned, but still kept his eyes closed.
Blood spurted out.
