Whoosh—
Two more sharp knives plunged into A Yao's body.
Screams echoed through the palace.
Drip, drip, A Yao's blood fell to the ground, which had turned pitch black. From the shadows, mouths appeared, like red cracks, from which sticky tongues emerged, sucking her blood.
"He hasn't come for so long, it seems he's not coming to rescue you." Lou Munan sighed.
The daggers that had pierced A Yao's body went even deeper, and these black daggers transformed into countless fine needles inside her body, suddenly piercing out again.
The pain was like being slowly sliced to death.
"ah--"
A Yao's shrill voice echoed throughout the palace. The moment thousands of fine needles pierced through her body, a mist of blood enveloped her. She fell to the ground like a bird pierced by a thousand arrows, and she was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
She collapsed to the ground, almost numb with pain.
The black-haired, red-eyed man appeared in front of her and lifted her up. He gripped her smooth chin tightly and said with feigned regret:
"It seems you're no longer of any use to me, so I might as well eat you up!"
Lou Munan opened his mouth to bite A Yao's snow-white neck. Just then, the entire palace suddenly bloomed with red spider lilies. The bewitching flowers of hell bloomed, and a dark figure tore through space. He pointed at Lou Munan, and a beam of red light shot out from his fingertip.
A red beam of light, swirling with red lightning, shot towards the black-haired, red-eyed Demon Lord, carrying the power of the law of death. This forced him to release the girl in his arms and flash into the air.
Mie Xinluo embraced A Yao's body, reaching out to caress her wounds. Instantly, he drew out most of the dark power within her. A Yao weakly gazed at his face, at his face that was exactly like Xu Fengzhi's, tears welling in her eyes. She weakly said:
"You've arrived?"
She thought he would ignore her question as before, but to her surprise, she heard him reply, "I'm here."
His voice sounded neither joyful nor sorrowful, and the way he looked at her seemed no different than usual, but A Yao was filled with joy, yet also with pain. She was happy that he had come to save her, but the thought of him being devoured by Lou Mu Nan caused her immense pain.
She cried and asked, "Why?"
Why did you come?
She was just an incarnation of Feng Yao. Even if she died, Feng Yao would still be Feng Yao.
Why? Why did we come?
Even Mie Xinluo himself didn't know.
Just like he knew from the beginning that he couldn't have any involvement with Feng Yao, whether it was her or her clone, but when he met her, he couldn't help but want to help her. Even if he could resist communicating with her, he couldn't suppress the feelings growing in his heart. Even though he knew that the feelings in his heart came from the obsession of the main soul, he was unknowingly getting deeper and deeper into it.
Is this what they call love?
Once you're caught up in it, you're no longer in control of your own destiny.
"Hahahaha..."
Lou Munan, who was in mid-air, laughed loudly: "You actually dared to come. A clone. You risked your life for a clone. You're as foolish as your main soul. You don't actually think you can take her away, do you?"
"The moment you enter this cultivation star, you will never be able to leave."
Lou Munan was right. This entire cultivation star was filled with restrictions he had set up. As soon as Mi Xinluo stepped into this place, he would be caught like a turtle in a jar.
"You can't save this little girl, and you can't save yourself either."
Lou Munan's voice was cold, seemingly echoing throughout the entire cultivation star, causing mountains and seas to tremble. A chilling light flashed in his eyes as he opened the gates to the Netherworld behind him. The instant the Netherworld opened, the Extinction Heart Demon also opened its own realm. Ayao watched as he and Lou Munan vanished simultaneously.
The palace was deathly silent, with only Ayao remaining.
Because eighty percent of the dark power within her body was absorbed by the Extinction Heart Demon, A Yao's injuries healed quickly. However, the connection between her and her original body was forcibly severed by Lou Munan, and she has now become an independent individual with her own consciousness.
Her current relationship with her original self is like that of Lou Munan and Xu Fengzhi, or Miexinluo and Xu Fengzhi.
Ayao tried to open the storage space but couldn't.
She is Feng Yao's clone. The clone and the main body have always shared the storage space, so she has not opened up her own storage space. Now she can't even take out a bottle of pills, let alone other magic treasures.
Ayao's face is pale, what should we do? What should she do now?
Her body was weak and powerless; due to the residual dark power, her magical strength was recovering very slowly. Since the dark power within the Nirvana Bead hadn't been completely expelled, attempting suicide and rebirth to regain her strength was completely futile. Ayao leaned against the wall and walked outside; she was now even weaker than an ordinary woman.
Ayao went outside, where there were only withered bones. These withered bones were the guards of this palace. This palace belonged to a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage. Like everyone else on this cultivation star, that cultivator had his life essence and blood drained by Lou Munan, and even his primordial spirit had not escaped.
Ayao gazed at the sky, a blood-red expanse shrouded in a bloody mist, death palpable. Leaning against the railing, Ayao knew not what she could do. She had never felt so powerless. What could she do to help Miexinluo?
Boom—
The palace behind her suddenly exploded, the shockwave sending A Yao flying hundreds of feet away. She crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Struggling to her feet, she looked up at the sky and saw two crimson lights colliding, causing red lightning to shake the heavens.
Lou Munan and Mie Xinluo fought their way out of the Netherworld and engaged in fierce combat on this cultivation star.
They moved too fast for A Yao's weakened divine sense to keep up with them. She collapsed to the ground and watched as the sky darkened, revealing a dense array of ancient restrictions covering the entire sky. Lou Mu Nan had indeed sealed the entire cultivation star.
The pressure of a battle at the Immortal Emperor level was unbearable for A Yao. She clutched her heart, listening to the distant explosions, her heart pounding violently.
She felt time slow down, as if it had frozen. She didn't know how much time had passed before the whole world fell into a deathly silence, a silence that terrified her.
Then, a black figure appeared in front of her.
The man with black hair and red eyes looked down at her and said coldly:
"Did you hope that it would be Mie Xinluo who returned? I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Ayao looked at Lou Munan, who placed one hand on his chest and gave her a cruel smile: "That guy is here."
He devoured the Heart-Destroying Demon, or more accurately, he reclaimed the Heart-Destroying Demon, just as he had reclaimed Xu Fengzhi back then.
Ayao lowered her head, her heart aching, and two lines of tears slid down her beautiful cheeks.
Fool!
Why did we come?
Knowing full well what fate awaits them, why do they still come?
