Lingxi bowed her head guiltily and begged for forgiveness: "It was my fault for not watching over His Highness properly and accidentally letting him in. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Ruoruo tugged at Mo Yong: "Lingxi wouldn't let me in, so I barged in myself. He didn't dare to lay a hand on me, and Father didn't punish him."
Lingxi had done everything he could. It was Ruoruo who acted so recklessly because she knew he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on her.
Mo Yong was not an unreasonable person. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, I'm afraid no one can stop this lawless little fellow."
Ruoruo stuck out her tongue, looking completely innocent, pretending that Mo Yong wasn't talking about her.
"Your Majesty, His Highness has returned with his troops," a heavenly general hurriedly reported.
"Summon the Star Lords to the Taiji Hall for a meeting," Mo Yong said.
Ruoruo grabbed Mo Yong's collar tightly and wouldn't let go: "Where did Big Brother take the troops?"
Mo Yong's eyes were cold: "Zi Manqing attacked you in the secret realm, and the Demon Lord attacked you in Kunlun Ruins. If we let them come and go as they please and leave after provoking you, how will the Immortal Realm stand in the Six Realms in the future? Wu Yu led the Seven Killings Breaking Army and the Greedy Wolf to gather the Heavenly Soldiers of the Six Directions and station them in the Demon Realm. We must demand an explanation."
"Is war about to break out?" Ruoruo Cat didn't understand these political matters, but she worriedly gripped Mo Yong's sleeve tightly. "But Father, you finally managed to seal away the Evil Poison, you absolutely cannot make a move again."
If there's a next time, even if she drains all her blood, Kunlun might not be able to help Mo Yong seal the Evil Poison again.
Mo Yong was silent for a moment, then stroked Ruoruo's hair: "Father knows what he's doing. Don't worry, Father will protect you no matter what."
"That's not what I'm worried about! Daddy did it on purpose!" Ruoruo angrily turned herself into a little kitten and burrowed into Mo Yong's collar, indicating that she didn't want to talk to Mo Yong right now.
She was clearly worried about her father's safety!
Kunlun, who had shrunk along with Ruoruo, sprouted a tender bud and poked Ruoruo's head: "Don't be angry, the Nine-Turn Golden Pill can save you."
The little kitten hugged the little wooden sword tightly: "Really? The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is a pill, right? I'll go ask Master how to refine it right away."
If we can refine this elixir, Father will be saved!
"The Demon Realm has stationed troops on the border, but no great demon general has led them. Your son and the other star lords conquered Yanmi Continent of the Demon Realm in a single day. The Demon Realm withdrew their troops, and the Demon Lord sent a letter of surrender, willing to give Yanmi Continent and Wangchuan to the Immortal Realm. Your son dares not make a decision on his own, please make the decision, Father." Mo Wuyu said loudly.
Upon hearing her elder brother's voice, Ruoruo immediately poked her head out from Mo Yong's collar.
The expressions on the faces of the star lords twisted for a moment when they saw a cat's head suddenly emerge from the chest of the majestic and domineering Mo Yong.
Why is Your Highness here?!
Mo Wuyu smiled gently and winked at Ruoruo.
Mo Yong scooped the kitten out with effortless ease and placed it on his lap: "The Immortal Realm can withdraw its troops, but Yanmi Continent and Wangchuan are only enough to atone for his crime of trespassing on Kunlun Ruins. I also require him to hand over Zi Manqing and Ming Ye, father and daughter, and let the Immortal Realm deal with them as they see fit."
"Father, I have important matters to report. Please do not issue the order for now," Mo Wuyu said.
"What does Your Highness mean by this? The request made by the Emperor is completely reasonable. If the Demon Realm truly admits its mistake, it will not refuse!" Lord Tanlang asked, puzzled.
The people of the Demon Realm only care about their own interests. Mingye and his daughter are just allies, and they have betrayed their allies more than once or twice, so it's not a big deal for them.
As for Zi Manqing, the Demon Lord wouldn't risk his life for a daughter.
In this way, the Immortal Realm received compensation and saved face, and it also served as a lesson to the Demon Realm in front of the Six Realms. No matter how you look at it, there is no problem.
“As you may not know, Yunlan told me before she went into seclusion that Zi Manqing had made a contract with the divine artifact Soul Devouring Tower. If this is true, the Demon Lord may not be willing to hand her over,” Mo Wuyu said.
"Impossible. The Soul Devouring Tower is a divine artifact inherited from the Demon Realm. Its spirit is bloodthirsty and ferocious. How could it possibly be contracted by a little witch?"
Ruoruo immediately raised her claws: "This princess knows that Zimanqing made an exchange using the luck of the demon realm. She was born as the master and died as the slave, which is why the contract was successful."
"She's essentially offering herself to the Soul Devouring Tower as a slave," Po Jun frowned. "In that case, the Demon Realm probably won't agree to the Lord's request."
The Seven Killings Star Lord said impatiently, "Since that's the case, then let's fight our way through. Whether it's the Demon Realm or the Soul Devouring Tower, let's destroy them all."
"Shut up." Mo Yong raised his eyes and shouted coldly, "Winning a battle is easy, but how difficult is it to fight a war of annihilation? The Demon Realm will definitely fight to the death, and the Six Realms will not be able to stay out of it. When the Six Realms are at war, can you bear the responsibility?"
The Seven Killings Star Lord acted impulsively, but was awakened by Mo Yong's words and admitted his mistake with shame: "This humble immortal acted impulsively, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Father, what should we do about this?" Mo Wuyu asked.
"The Demon Realm shall no longer protect Mingye and his daughter, and no one from the Demon Realm shall be allowed to enter the Academy again," Mo Yong said.
"We will obey Your Majesty's decree!" The star lords had no further objections.
Mo Wuyu was kept behind by Mo Yong, who handed him the edict of succession: "You must be careful in dealing with matters of the Demon Realm and try your best not to start a war. I am currently suppressing the Evil Poison and cannot take action again. If the Demon Lord finds out, he will probably launch a massive attack."
If that day truly comes, I will surely sacrifice myself for the Dao, and entrust the Immortal Realm and my younger siblings to you.”
“Father…” Mo Wuyu was stunned, then his eyes reddened. He closed his eyes slightly, accepted the imperial edict, and knelt before Mo Yong. “Your subject obeys the decree.”
"Father won't sacrifice himself to the Dao!" Ruoruo said anxiously. "Kunlun said that if there is a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, it can save Father."
“I remember that there was a Nine-Turn Golden Pill at the place of the God Qingmu.” Mo Wuyu’s eyes showed joy. “He was once a God of the Immortal Realm and is also Ruoruo’s master. Perhaps if we can ask for it, everything will be solved.”
Mo Yong frowned slightly: "I remember that he slaughtered the Fallen Immortal Cliff, killed nine thousand Fallen Immortals to extract their immortal roots to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. He was almost struck by heavenly lightning and his soul was scattered. He was forced to make a pact with the academy and could never leave the academy again. He regards this pill as his life and may not be willing to give it to me."
"That's because the God of Alchemy is obsessed with alchemy to the point of madness. He believes that the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is the only thing that can break through the current limitations of alchemy. But the Golden Elixir didn't achieve his goal back then, so now he's pinning his hopes on a new miracle in alchemy." Mo Wuyu turned his gaze to Ruoruo.
Upon entering the Dao, he created his own alchemy technique, breaking the limitation of twelve full pills. Refining pills became as easy and simple as drinking water. Ruoruo's existence is the most important thing to Qingmu now.
Upon hearing this, Ruoruo immediately said, "Master has always doted on me the most. I'll go ask Master for medicine!"
No matter what, she had to save her father.
