Unfortunately, Ruoruo has already formed a contract with her natal spirit sword, so no matter how good the Xuanyuan Sword is, she can no longer form a contract with it.
Ruoruo happily hugged her broken wooden sword: "I don't want any Xuanyuan Sword, I have a sword! I love my sword."
Although Mo Yong felt helpless, he knew that things had come to this point, so he could only comfort himself by saying, "After all, you are a pill cultivator and have your elder brother to protect you, so it's alright."
On the other side, Zi Manqing brought Lin Ye back to the Demon Palace. Without even summoning the Demon Physician to treat her injuries, she knelt before the Demon Lord's palace and begged her father to do justice for her. The Immortal Realm was too arrogant and bullied her with their numbers, almost killing her and Lin Ye.
The main hall door creaked open, and Zi Manqing slammed her head on the floor, feeling utterly wronged.
A man in a long black robe emerged, a scorpion perched on his shoulder and black flames beneath his feet.
"A three-year-old child and a hybrid phoenix were able to injure you like this." The man's voice was hoarse, his deep purple eyes cold and indifferent. "Useless."
Zi Manqing trembled and bit her lower lip: "Father! It's my fault for being useless. I will definitely work harder in my cultivation. But the way they treat me clearly shows they don't respect our Demon Realm. Even if you don't seek justice for me, are you just going to let them bully the Demon Realm?"
She clearly knew the Demon Lord very well; as soon as she finished speaking, the black flames rolling around the Demon Lord surged even more.
"Demon Lord, the Celestial Prince Wuyu, along with three Heavenly Generals, has stationed himself at the border between the Celestial and Demonic Realms. He has sent an envoy to inquire whether the Demon Lord instructed Prince Manqing to ambush the Celestial Prince, intending to kill their Celestial Realm's alchemy genius and provoke the Celestial Realm." A demon general knelt on the ground and reported.
Zi Manqing turned around abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Three Heavenly Generals?"
The celestial army deployed from the celestial realm consisted of ten celestial generals. The divine lord has directly mobilized 30% of his forces to intimidate them!
The Demon Lord sneered, "Zi Manqing, you heard that."
"They're just three celestial generals, are you saying my Demon Realm is afraid of them?" Zi Manqing gritted her teeth and said, "Does that mean I have to apologize to them just because they hit me?"
"If you had killed Yan Ruoruo today, you would have been of some value, and I would have protected you," the Demon Lord said coldly. "But you are a defeated opponent, a useless drowning dog."
"Father, Father..." Zi Manqing's voice trembled uncontrollably as she kowtowed desperately, tears streaming down her face. "I will not lose again next time. Father, please save me once, please save me once."
The Demon Lord stretched out his foot, hooked Zi Manqing's chin, and lifted her face: "What is the Third Law of the Demon Realm?"
Zi Manqing's burns on her face had not yet been treated. Her blood-red flesh was charred and turned outwards, and tears mixed with blood crisscrossed between the scars, making her look pitiful, terrifying, and ugly.
Her lips trembled as she said, "The Third Law of the Demon Realm: The victor is king, the loser is a dog; survival of the fittest, selection of the superior and elimination of the inferior, respect for the strong and destruction of the weak..."
Her father... is going to abandon her...
"Considering that you are of my bloodline, I will save you one more time." The Demon Lord kicked her head away without any pity. "Lin Yi, take her to the border. This matter is due to my poor upbringing. I will punish her with thirty lashes in front of Mo Wuyu to settle this matter. But the Immortal Realm should not push its luck. Hand over the Phoenix Spring Water to heal my beloved daughter."
The wounds left by the Phoenix True Fire on the Demon Realm will forever become indelible scars. Unless treated with Phoenix Spring Water, even if they are barely healed, they will soon become burns and fester.
"Yes." Although the demon general was a member of the Lin Ye clan, he did not even glance at Lin Ye, but simply dragged Zi Manqing away.
Zi Manqing was forced to apologize in front of the battle, and whips lashed her body one after another. She bit her lower lip and remained silent, letting the whips beat her already severely burned skin until it was even more torn and bleeding.
She silently counted the number of lashes, her eyes bloodshot. One day, she would repay Yan Ruoruo and Mo Jinyan tenfold, a hundredfold.
She didn't hate her father; she only felt that the immortal realm was going too far. Ever since she met Yan Ruoruo, her smooth-sailing demonic life had been completely shattered.
Meanwhile, in the Taiji Palace of the Immortal Realm, Ruoruo was held on Mo Yong's lap as she watched all of this.
Ruoruo watched as Lin Yi showed no mercy, each lash cutting to the bone, the blood almost staining the surrounding ground red, and she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
"...Doesn't Zi Manqing's father protect her?" Ruoruo, who was pampered and cherished by her own father, was very confused.
"It seems that Zi Manqing is indeed the Demon Lord's favorite daughter," Mo Yong said. "If it were any other daughter, she would probably have been completely abandoned after losing the first talisman battle to you."
The demon realm only believes in absolute strength, even considering the survival of the weak a waste of resources. Every demon lord rose to power by slaughtering his own brothers and sisters.
No wonder Zi Manqing has that kind of personality. Ruoruo couldn't help but curl herself into a cat ball: "The Demon Realm is really scary."
After the thirty lashes were finished, Mo Wuyu smiled gently: "The Immortal Realm has received the sincerity of the Demon Realm. I will send you a bottle of Phoenix Spring Water first, and I will send you a sufficient amount tomorrow, along with pills, spirit stones and talismans, as compensation for my brother's unintentional injury in self-defense."
After Mo Wuyu led the three Heavenly Generals away, Lin Yi picked up Zi Manqing and went back to report. After relaying Mo Wuyu's words, Lin Ye asked, "I'm afraid that if this is the case, the Six Realms will only think that our race is cowardly."
The Demon Lord threw Zi Manqing into the spiritual spring to soak: "The Demon Clan does not win the world by relying on people's hearts. Only the weak will rely on external forces. Mo Yong will not live for long. It is okay to avoid his sharp edge for the time being. However... that Mo Wuyu is quite a character."
In the future, Mo Wuyu will surely send a grand apology, completely silencing their demon clan's words.
They were merely acting out of self-defense, and now they're apologizing and offering such a generous gift. They've even managed to heal this minor injury and boost their cultivation. It's pointless for the Demon Realm to keep pushing them so hard.
