"Your Highness! Calm down, don't think about anything. Your spiritual energy is chaotic and your meridians are injured. You can't let your mind get involved right now." The young man beside her stuffed a pill into Ruoruo's mouth and half-held her while feeding her water.
Looking at the boy's familiar face, Ruoruo couldn't stop the tears from falling. She cried out, almost collapsing, "Asakusa... Big Brother..."
Asakusa patted her back and coaxed her, "Don't think about it for now, okay? His Highness has made such a sacrifice for you. You can't hurt yourself because of grief. Go to sleep for a while, okay?"
Ruoruo felt a slight twitch in the blue vine on her wrist, and a faint voice from Kunlun echoed in her mind: "Master, Big Brother, you're alive! Protect me with the elixir, and use the Reincarnation Mirror..."
Ruoruo gripped his wrist as if it were her last straw, wanting to ask what was wrong: "You..."
Before she could finish speaking, she smelled a delicate fragrance, and uncontrollably closed her eyes and fainted.
The extremely weakened Kunlun Sword sank into Ruoruo's body and fell into a deep sleep.
Asakusa took back the sachet from her hand and affectionately patted Ruoruo's head: "Poor thing..."
Mo Xie pushed open the door and entered. Seeing his lord's youthful appearance, he showed no surprise: "Why did you go to such lengths to bring her back, Your Majesty? The Demon Realm has almost been completely destroyed by Mo Yong. If Mo Yong finds out she's here, it will be troublesome."
"I brought her back to protect her, of course." Asakusa curled her lips. "After this battle, Mo Yong will die, Mo Wuyu will die, and Mo Yunlan, who is only a Golden Immortal... even if he inherits the throne, he can only barely reach the realm of a High God. They can't protect this little cat."
Mo Xie's lips twitched: "Wasn't it you who instigated this fight between the two sides?"
He revealed all the intelligence he had collected over the years to the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord believed him and sent five great demons to capture Yan Ruoruo.
One reason was to seize the spiritual veins of Kunlun Ruins, and the other was to test whether Mo Yong was truly capable of taking action.
The Demon Lord had a good plan: if Mo Yong really couldn't make a move, he would kill Yan Ruoruo, extract her primordial soul, and seize Kunlun Ruins.
If Mo Yong were to intervene, he would unleash a great demon to vent Mo Yong's anger, seize the divine artifact Kunlun, and return it to Yan Ruoruo.
Neither he nor the Demon Lord expected that Mo Wuyu would be so powerful.
Mo Wuyu not only held his own against three opponents, but also chose to sacrifice himself in such a tragic way when facing four opponents, sending Ruoruo away.
Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, he killed the fifth Great Demon Bone Hideout and took Ruoruo away.
Mo Yong would only blame the Demon Lord, while the Demon Lord would only assume that Gu Cang took Yan Ruoruo away and would only suspect that Gu Cang had betrayed them.
As for the demon lord Qingxing, who had only exchanged information with him, he remained perfectly hidden since he was unaware of the demon race's plan.
Now that he says he took Yan Ruoruo away to protect her, Mo Xie doesn't believe him at all.
He glanced at Mo Xie lightly: "There are some things I have to say, or you'll die of suffocation. Today, the divine artifact Kunlun is severely injured and asleep. Otherwise, it would have heard everything you said and told this little brat. How would you apologize to me then?"
Mo Xie obediently shut his mouth: "Your subject will heed your instructions."
In the Demon Realm, Mo Yong fought with almost reckless abandon, and in just one day, he reached the Demon Realm's royal city.
But when the Demon Lord saw his overflowing immortal energy, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Mo Yong, Mo Yong, so you are nothing but a spent force. Very well, today I will take your life first, and then extract the primordial soul of that little cat to pave the way for me."
"Wishful thinking!" Mo Yong's fierce eyes were filled with chilling killing intent as he thrust his spear towards the Demon Lord's soul.
The Demon Lord's soul and body were now incompatible, and he dared not confront Mo Yong head-on, so he summoned the Soul Devouring Tower to block the attack.
Zi Manqing, who was cultivating and refining her skills inside the tower, groaned, clutched her chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly regained consciousness.
She was almost turned into a spirit by the tower and her father!
Mo Yong's shot has brought her to her senses.
Zi Manqing thought that by making a contract with the Soul Devouring Tower and becoming stronger, her father would value and pamper her. However, at the crucial moment, her father still chose to abandon her.
The Demon Lord controlled the Soul Devouring Tower and fought Mo Yong to a standstill.
Inside the tower, Zi Manqing was in unbearable pain; if things continued like this, she would surely die.
"Your Highness, I will always stay by your side, always listen to you, never betray you, and will love you even more than the Emperor. So, don't hesitate any longer," Lin Ye anxiously advised as she took him into the tower to heal his wounds.
Zi Manqing sneered, "You dare to compare yourself to Father? You're nothing but a loyal dog I keep. Would a dog dare to turn against its master?"
However... Lin Ye also gave her a reminder.
If things continue like this, she will be completely abandoned by her husband. It would be better to turn her father into her puppet.
Her father would never abandon her again.
So Zi Manqing forcibly controlled the Soul Devouring Tower by making hand seals.
Mo Yong swept his spear across, and the Demon Lord once again retreated from the Soul Devouring Tower. However, the Soul Devouring Tower suddenly swelled up and stood on the ground with a thud, no longer able to move its arms and fingers.
The Demon Lord's primordial spirit and soul were directly shattered by Mo Yong, causing him to let out a painful howl. His body instantly disintegrated like mud, and he reached out to grab the surrounding demon soldiers to devour them.
The Soul-Devouring Tower began to absorb his primordial spirit and soul. The Demon Lord was both shocked and furious: "Zi Manqing! Do you intend to kill your father?"
"Daughter just doesn't want to be abandoned by Father again!" The Soul-Devouring Tower continued to devour the Demon Lord.
Mo Yong stood on the ground with his spear, his body unsteady, and there were even faint traces of his soul being devoured.
Zi Manqing naturally discovered this unexpected joy, and she diverted some of her attention to devouring Mo Yong.
