In the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord returned from Kunlun Ruins severely injured and immediately went into seclusion. He killed several great demons, absorbing their cultivation and souls to stabilize his own soul.
However, he would have to wait another hundred years to cultivate a new body, so he first possessed the bodies of these great demons who were just empty shells.
Lin Yi knelt below: "Reporting to Your Majesty, all the demons have withdrawn from the academy. The whereabouts of Mingye and his daughter are unknown. Some powerful demons outside are dissatisfied, believing that Your Majesty's act of agreeing to the God Lord's conditions is beneath the dignity of the demons."
"Fool!" the Demon Lord roared. "Mo Yong's attack today was powerful, his immortal energy was abundant. It seems that his tribulation last time really resolved the poison. I no longer have the Soul Devouring Tower, so I am no match for him. Who in the entire Demon Realm can fight him? The war between immortals and demons cannot be fought, otherwise the Demon Realm will surely be defeated. Tell those great demons to either shut up or not blame me for devouring them as nourishment."
"Yes," Lin Yi replied.
The immense pain caused by the discord and rejection between his soul and body drove the Demon Lord to even greater rage: "Where is Zi Manqing! She stole my Soul Devouring Tower, causing my defeat. I haven't even settled the score with her yet!"
"Princess Manqing, with the help of your bloodline and by staking the fate of the demon race, signed a contract with the Soul Devouring Tower and is currently in seclusion within it," Lin Yi said expressionlessly. "If we kill her, the fate of the demon realm will decline, and Your Majesty's cultivation will also be damaged."
"Boom!" A massive burst of demonic flames erupted from the Demon Lord's center. The Demon Lord snorted coldly, "Truly worthy of being my good daughter. When she emerges from seclusion, bring her to see me."
"Yes," Lin Yi replied.
"Oh dear, Demon Lord, your anger is immense." A man with blue water patterns on his forehead slowly walked in, waving a fan. Demon Flame was brushed aside by the fan and automatically made way for him.
The Demon Lord frowned: "What business does the Demon Lord have in my Demon Realm?"
Asakusa snapped his folding fan shut: "Of course, I have a good business deal to discuss with you. How about I trade you a piece of information about Mo Yong for the Soul Devouring Tower? I guarantee it's a secret you don't know."
The Demon Lord scrutinized him for a moment, then sneered, "Please sit down, let's talk slowly."
The closure of the academy caused widespread panic throughout the six realms. The last time the academy was closed was during the chaotic war three thousand years ago.
That chaotic battle resulted in countless deaths and injuries, shattered the Great Wilderness Barrier, and led to the rampant spread of wild beasts.
This forced the six realms to join forces to protect the foundation of this realm and lock the wild beasts in the Great Wilderness.
Every five hundred years, the wild beasts revolt once, and it is precisely because of the external threats that the Six Realms have barely maintained a balance.
Even so, every time the wild beasts rampage, the six realms must still be wary of each other's open and covert attacks.
Beneath the seemingly harmonious surface of the Six Realms, undercurrents have been surging.
However, the two most powerful realms, the Immortal and the Demon Realm, are showing signs of breaking off relations. The academy has closed again, and various realms are sending people to the Immortal and Demon Realms to gather information.
The luminous pearl in the Taiji Hall has never gone out.
Ruoruo lay beside Yan Qingran's Soul-Nourishing Jade, refining medicine as she said, "Mother, when will you wake up? If this continues, I'm afraid Father's body won't be able to hold on."
She didn't even have the right to open that half-finished Nine-Turn Golden Elixir.
Ruoruo recounted everything that had happened recently, but still received no response from Yan Qingran.
However, Ruoruo has gotten used to it now and doesn't feel as uncomfortable as she did at first.
Judging that Mo Yong should be coming to see Yan Qingran soon, she packed up her twenty-odd alchemy furnaces and said, "Ruo Ruo is leaving now. Father doesn't allow Ruo Ruo to stay here any longer. He's afraid that Ruo Ruo's soul will be sucked away. Ruo Ruo will come to see Mother again next time."
However, as soon as Ruoruo stepped out the door, Mo Yong grabbed her by the collar and pulled her up.
"I always felt that the Soul-Nourishing Jade was changing color a bit too quickly lately?" Mo Yong sneered. "Sure enough, I caught him red-handed."
Ruoruo hugged Kunlun, blinked her eyes, and said innocently, "I just arrived too, and I haven't had time to do anything yet."
"Hand over your alchemy furnace!" Mo Yongcai wasn't going to tolerate her.
Ruoruo had no choice but to slowly hand over an alchemy furnace.
Mo Yong pinched her cheek: "I just saw you take more than one. Hand it all over."
Ruoruo dawdled around in the pendant space for a long time before taking out two more, then said with a serious expression, "That's all, there are really none left."
Mo Yong almost laughed out of anger. He flicked her pendant with his finger, and Ruo Ruo's head spun. Mo Yong had already thoroughly searched her space, and all twenty-seven alchemy furnaces were found without missing a single one.
"Huh? Is it really all gone?" Mo Yong gritted his teeth slightly. "Do you know what you're doing? Qingmu can only refine pills in two batches at most, and you actually dared to use so many at the same time. If you suffer a qi deviation, your cultivation will be completely ruined."
"I only made two batches at first," Ruoruo pouted, unconvinced. "But then I found it was too slow, so I added one. Then I found it was quite simple, so I added another one. I added several times, and before I knew it, I had twenty-seven."
"Really, controlling twenty-seven alchemy furnaces simultaneously is not difficult at all, especially since my fire is the Phoenix Fire given to me by my third brother, which is even more effective. Just because Master can't do it doesn't mean I can't. If I can't surpass Master, what's the point of Master teaching me?"
Ruoruo chattered on and on, giving Mo Yong a headache: "Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to come to Ziwei Immortal Pavilion anymore!"
The little girl's eyes darted around: "Okay."
They can just sneak over later.
Mo Yong saw through her thoughts and said helplessly, "Starting tomorrow, you will go to Kunlun Ruins to cultivate with your second brother."
"Huh?" Ruoruo's eyes lit up. "Really? I can go to Kunlun Ruins?"
Kunlun Ruins was her fiefdom, but she never managed to visit it even once.
“You’ve grown nine tails and forged a natal artifact, Kunlun. You should really go and work on them properly,” Mo Yong said.
If Ruoruo's strength increases too quickly, and has been skyrocketing since she came out of the Hongmeng Secret Realm, he is afraid that if this continues, Ruoruo will be too eager for quick success and destroy her foundation. It would be better to let her go and work with Kunlun properly.
Ruoruo looked at Mo Yong expectantly: "Daddy, are you going too?"
“Father has official duties to attend to and cannot leave,” Mo Yong said.
The little girl lowered her head dejectedly: "Okay."
Mo Yong couldn't bear to see Ruoruo like this, and his heart softened immediately: "Father will definitely visit you more often, okay?"
Ruoruo hugged Mo Yong's leg tightly: "Daddy, you must come often!"
Mo Yong was still moved when, in the next moment, Ruoruo put the twenty-seven individual moments on the ground into her space. She transformed into a cat and kicked her four legs very fast, then turned and ran away.
Mo Yong was stunned for a moment, then caught up with her in a few steps, grabbed her by the back of the neck, and a vein throbbed on his forehead: "Ruo Ruo, don't be silly."
Seeing that its escape plan had failed, the kitten drooped its ears and tail and looked pitifully at Mo Yong: "I promise I won't go into qi deviation, Daddy, you have to believe me. I will heal you and won't let my cultivation be ruined."
Mo Yong was at a loss with her, and could only repeatedly remind her, "Stop immediately if you feel unwell, understand?"
Ruoruo Cat nodded vigorously: "I know! Don't worry, Daddy."
