The border of the Demon Realm.
As if the once dark land had been torn apart, streaks of white light appeared, and the gloom fell away in large swaths, like a curtain being drawn back. Slowly, the shadows of mountains and rivers appeared in the void, their lush greenery a stark contrast to the desolation of this place—a landscape belonging to the human realm.
The demon god was the first to arrive. In the blink of an eye, he appeared above the border, frowning as he looked at the land in front of him, which looked as if a huge hole had been cut out. He stared at the familiar figure in white slowly walking over amidst the large expanse of white light.
"Yuan Qi, you've gone mad!" the Demon God blurted out, still somewhat incredulous. He had actually broken the seal, even though he had schemed to put him into a deep sleep for the sake of that seal. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the aura surrounding the other was even more intense, even showing a tendency to overwhelm him. The Demon God paused for a moment, then suddenly understood, "Your power has been restored!"
Yuan Qi's face was cold and indifferent. His usual gentle and kind expression had vanished without a trace, and his eyes were filled with icy coldness. His whole body was radiating white light. He walked step by step with a sword in one hand, as if tearing through the darkness of the demon realm little by little, illuminating the surroundings.
Only after fully entering the Demon Realm did he coldly look at the Demon God, unleashing a chilling killing intent that carried the pressure of heaven and earth. In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, as if it were the end of the world. "Where is Xiao You? Release her!"
The demon god frowned, a surge of displeasure welling up within him, his anger erupting, and his demonic energy surged. "None of your business! I'm not letting you go, so what?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white light around Yuan Qi intensified, sweeping directly and unceremoniously toward the Demon God. However, it was blocked by the Demon God's demonic energy. The two auras, white and black, clashed fiercely, and his voice grew colder, "You are not worthy to stay by her side. Hand her over."
The demon god's face darkened, and he instantly exploded with rage, his demonic energy surging forth. "You're talking nonsense! She possesses half of my power! You say I'm not worthy? There's no one in this world more worthy than me!" You're the one who's not worthy! Your whole family is unworthy!
"Shut up!" Yuan Qi's anger was even greater than his. As if he remembered something, his body trembled with rage. Even the white light around him stirred up wind blades, covering the sky as if to pierce the person in front of him into a sieve. His voice was even colder, "What right do you have to say such things, someone who once betrayed her?"
"Betrayal?" The demon god was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously retorted, "Who betrayed her? I didn't, I wouldn't! You're the one who opened the seal, don't even think about framing me!" What if Youyou really misunderstood? There was no way he could shift the blame to her!
Yuan Qi's expression darkened further, his eyes filled with a deathly coldness. "Foolish, don't you even know what you've done?"
"What did I do?!" The demon god was even more furious. He hadn't even taken back half of his power. "Yuan Qi, if you want to fight, then fight. I have a clear conscience. The power in her body originally belonged to me, and it's only right that I take it back."
Yuan Qi was shocked, his face turning deathly pale. His previous indifference vanished, and he tensed up completely. "What did you do to her?!"
Seeing his expression change, the demon god instantly felt a surge of satisfaction and blurted out, "What business is it of yours what I did? Just a thief who stole my power, do you think I'd let him get away with it..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, a blinding white light emanating from Yuan Qi swept towards him. The Demon God instinctively tried to block it with his demonic energy, but found it completely useless. The other party seemed to have completely lost his mind, using all his power to directly dispel... no, to annihilate the surrounding demonic energy, whether it was the Demon God's doing or the energy around the Demon Realm, it all vanished instantly.
And that's not all. Within that dazzling white light, even the Demon Realm seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and the entire ground began to shake violently.
"Holy crap! You're serious!" The demon god was startled. This was the first time he had seen Yuan Qi completely lose his mind. The obvious killing intent was completely different from when he had schemed against him before. He really wanted to kill him, the kind of killing intent that would kill him to the death.
The demon god's heart sank. Without further hesitation, he summoned all his power to block the white light. He conjured a longsword and charged forward. "Bah! Let's fight! Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
When Youyou arrived, she saw the two locked in a fierce battle in the air. The entire realm seemed to be divided into two halves, one dazzlingly white and the other as black as ink. The two sides were locked in a stalemate, pushing and shoving back and forth, while below, the two realms were in a state of cataclysmic destruction…
The two men in the air were even more ferocious than the other.
"If I had known earlier that Feng Rong was you, I would never have allowed you to get close to her."
"You're talking nonsense! I've known her longer than you. You think you can just stay away from her like that? You're the one who should be keeping your distance!"
"What right do you, someone who can't even distinguish right from wrong, have to talk about her?"
"I'm willing, I'm happy! She's mine, she was like that when she was Feng Rong, and she's like that now."
"Shut up! Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
"Come on if you dare! Do you think I'm afraid of you? It's time to settle the score for the time you tricked me into falling into a deep sleep!"
"Hmph, my only regret is that I should have killed you back then instead of letting you fall into a deep sleep, so that you wouldn't have implicated Xiaoyou!"
"How dare you call her 'Xiao You'? You're the one who should stay away from her!"
"..."
The two of them were exchanging words, their hands clapping furiously while their verbal sparring was incessant.
Youyou: "..."
His lips twitched, and he was speechless. He couldn't help but say, "Hey, you two can fight all you want, but don't use me as an excuse, okay?" Is this some kind of acting, and a melodramatic one at that?
Unfortunately, the two were so focused on their fight that they couldn't hear her voice or even notice her arrival.
Youyou inexplicably felt that a huge accusation called 'femme fatale' was being thrown at her.
MMP!
Just as he was thinking about how to stop the two, he looked down and noticed some strange red light appearing behind the large white light on his left.
It was a defensive magic circle, quite far away. Upon closer inspection, there were several familiar figures inside, all dressed in the same white magic robes as her, both men and women. It was Shuiyan and Ling Qi.
They must have come chasing after Yuan Qi, but were restrained by his sudden burst of oppressive power, barely able to maintain the formation to protect themselves. They seemed to have spotted her, their faces flashing with surprise and joy, frantically waving and shouting in this direction, but their voices couldn't reach them.
"Shuiyan, Ling Qi..." You You took two steps forward, but was pushed back by two forces. "Danger! Don't come any closer!"
They couldn't hear anything and kept desperately trying to get closer, but they couldn't withstand the increasingly heavy pressure. They were forced to the ground after only a couple of steps.
"Shuiyan girl!" You You's heart skipped a beat. She looked anxiously at the two people in the air, and with a surge of power within her, she shouted, "Feng Rong, Yuan Qi, stop!"
