Chapter 112 Demon Lord 112%
The young man is the grandson of the master of Sixiang Pavilion.
The Four Symbols Pavilion is the chief of the four pavilions of the Wanmen Immortal Sect. Its master, the Thousand-Faced Taoist, is nearly ten thousand years old and is also the most respected elder in the sect.
.
Something happened in Sixiang Pavilion.
The dark clouds came strangely, and a thick mass enveloped the sky above the Four Symbols Pavilion. The entire Four Symbols Pavilion was wrapped in a blood-red barrier.
Disciples from all sects and peaks went to the Four Symbols Pavilion to inquire, but they waited and waited but no disciples came out of the Pavilion. An elder from another pavilion happened to pass by and noticed something was wrong so he went into the pavilion to check, but still no one came back.
"Ah! Something happened, something happened!"
On the other side, the guards outside the underground palace waited for a long time but their young master did not come out. They rushed into the underground palace to check, and saw blood and torture instruments all over the floor. They shone a candle on the chain, only to see the chain broke into pieces. Chao Yuan and his young master were nowhere to be seen.
"Tianzun, there is something unusual in the Four Symbols Pavilion."
"Tianzun! Something happened in the underground palace, Demon Lord Chao Yuan is missing!"
"Please, Tianzun, please think of a solution quickly. The Pavilion Master's grandson is still in his hands."
"Tianzun, the disciple we sent to the Four Symbols Pavilion has lost contact again!"
When the bad news reached Mo Xuanxiao, he was in Qu Yaoyao's room, tucking in the quilt for her who had just fallen asleep.
Gu Tianci couldn't sit still any longer. He hurriedly pushed the door open and saw the scene before him. He almost couldn't hold back his voice, "It's already this time and you're still fussing about love? Mo Xuanxiao, Chao Yuan ran away!"
"I understand, please keep your voice down." Seeing the girl on the couch frowning, Mo Xuanxiao cast a silencing spell in her ear, patted the wrinkles on his clothes and stood up.
He had expected Chao Yuan to run away, but he hadn't expected him to escape so quickly. He didn't take the unusual situation at the Four Symbols Pavilion seriously. Despite Gu Tianci's dissatisfaction, he closed Qu Yaoyao's door and whispered, "I'm going to go change my clothes first."
"You're still changing..." Gu Tianci wanted to urge him, but the words stopped in his mouth. His eyes fell on the bright red wedding dress on Mo Xuanxiao, and he tilted his head, "Go ahead."
It was ridiculous that the wedding ended so quickly, and it was in an extremely embarrassing situation. Although many people had changed their ways to call Qu Yaoyao "Queen of Heaven", everyone knew that the wedding was not completed.
So what if he was a Celestial Sovereign? So what if he was a descendant of an ancient god? Even a god would fall back into the mortal realm if they fell in love. Mo Xuanxiao knew firsthand how ironic it was to wear the wedding gown he was so reluctant to take off.
"Don't disturb her. I'll go to the Four Elephants Pavilion myself to investigate."
Nowadays, no one who enters the Four Symbols Pavilion returns, and no one knows what's going on inside. The blood-red barrier shrouding the sky is filled with a sinister aura. Mo Xuanxiao smells Chao Yuan's presence and knows that this incident is closely related to Chao Yuan.
Gu Tianci responded casually, "Yeah, I got it. I will definitely keep it a secret for you before you come back. I will never tell Qu Yaoyao that Chao Yuan has escaped."
Mo Xuanxiao coughed a few times, glanced at him and said, "You know that this is not what I meant."
He just didn't want Qu Yaoyao to worry about the Immortal Sect anymore and fall into a dilemma.
Gu Tianci grinned and changed the subject, "Your cough has been getting worse recently. Once this matter is dealt with, let's get Old Man Hua to take a look at you."
"It's okay." Mo Xuanxiao coughed a few more times, turned into a golden light and disappeared into the Four Symbols Pavilion.
In the half minute that Mo Xuanxiao entered the Four Symbols Pavilion, Gu Tianci leaned against a tree and waited quietly for Mo Xuanxiao's return, and also leisurely sent back a few voice messages.
Half an hour after Mo Xuanxiao entered the Four Symbols Pavilion, Gu Tianci's smiling face gradually faded. He frowned and stared in the direction of the Four Symbols Pavilion. After waiting for another half an hour, he wandered anxiously under the tree, gradually developing a bad premonition in his heart.
Two hours passed, and the dark clouds over the Four Symbols Pavilion did not dissipate. The barrier was silent and motionless, so quiet that it was a little eerie.
No one, perhaps not even Mo Xuanxiao himself, had imagined that he would be trapped in the Four Symbols Pavilion. Gu Tianci began to regret not letting Mo Xuanxiao go in with the sound transmission mirror. He had too much confidence in Mo Xuanxiao, so much so that he thought nothing in the world could stump him. Now that he had suddenly lost his voice, the entire Immortal Ruins began to panic.
Qu Yaoyao was awakened by the noisy noise outside.
She did not sleep well. In her dream, she saw Chong'an in red clothes and mask, and Xie Qingxun in white clothes and coldness. They appeared alternately in Qu Yaoyao's dream, and finally merged into Chao Yuan's face, watching coldly as she was burned to ashes by the red lotus karma fire.
"Gu Tianci, calm down. If you get killed, what will happen to the Wanmen Immortal Sect?"
"Are we going to just keep waiting like this? It's been almost three hours, and there's been no news, good or bad. Tianzun and two elders have already been killed in the Immortal Ruins, and there are still so many disciples waiting to be rescued."
"Wait? How long do we have to wait? Maybe they've encountered some problems and are waiting for us to rescue them!"
"Gu Tianci!"
squeak--
The door was slowly pushed open from the inside. Qu Yaoyao, wearing a simple white dress, stood by the door, looking at the people in the yard. Her voice was still hazy with sleep, "What... are you doing?"
Gu Tianci stopped, and Qu Yushu and Qu Jingxian, who were trying to stop the man, also stopped and fell silent.
Qu Yaoyao smelled something amiss and turned to look at the cloudy sky not far away. When she saw the blood-red barrier, she froze for a moment, as if finally coming to her senses. She said uncertainly, "That is—"
"Chao Yuan?"
He escaped from the underground palace.
“…”
Gu Tianci decided to go to Sixiang Pavilion to find out what was going on.
When Qu Yaoyao learned that something had happened there, she wanted to go there herself, but was stopped by the three of them. Qu Yushu advised, "The situation inside is unclear. We've lost too many people going in. You can't go in rashly again."
"Then why did Gu Tianci still want to go in?"
"I'm going to explore the way. The most important thing for us now is to find out what happened inside."
Qu Yaoyao lowered her eyes and said, "I'll go. I can also help you find out what happened inside. Besides, my cultivation level seems to be higher than yours now."
Gu Tianci sighed, "Do you really want me to explain it clearly?"
"Yaoyao, whether you admit it or not, you are the Queen of the Immortal Sect. Now that our Heavenly Lord has lost contact, your presence will give the disciples of the Immortal Sect more peace of mind. If you too go in and become silent, how are we going to explain this to these disciples?"
Qu Yaoyao does not really identify with the identity of "Queen of Pop".
She opened her mouth, wanting to refute something but couldn't find a reason. Seeing this, Qu Yushu patted her shoulder and said, "Let it go. Gu Tianci will bring a sound transmission mirror with him this time. He will contact us anytime if he has any questions."
"If something happens to him again, it won't be too late for you to go in again."
"Pooh." Gu Tianci said dissatisfiedly: "Master Qu, what are you talking about? Can't you hope for the best for me?"
"I'm sorry." Qu Yushu changed his tone gently: "I made a slip of the tongue."
It’s not like there were no disciples who had brought sound transmission mirrors in before, but I don’t know if it was because the danger came too quickly or the sound transmission mirror was interfered with. In short, no matter how the disciples outside shouted, it was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard from the sound transmission mirror.
To be on the safe side, Gu Tianci not only brought a sound transmission mirror, but also brought several other magical instruments that could transmit sound. He led ten disciples from Xianxu into the Sixiang Pavilion at night.
After entering the barrier, the sound transmission mirror lost its function of transmitting sound. Gu Tianci tried several magic instruments and finally received a response from the outside through the last one. Qu Jingxian asked anxiously, "Can Immortal Tianci hear my voice?"
"Have you guys gone in? What's the situation inside now? Speak quickly and don't scare us."
Gu Tianci covered his magic weapon, looked around cautiously, and coughed: "I heard you, please keep your voice down."
There was a sound of relief from the other side.
Gu Tianci walked softly, gesturing and leading the disciples inside. He whispered, "We just entered the pavilion. It's foggy and gloomy everywhere. We can't see anything clearly."
The Four Symbols Pavilion occupies two hilltops and is the largest of the four pavilions. It is filled with magic arrays.
Gu Tianci and the others walked for a while before they reached the center of the Four Elephants Pavilion. He frowned and replied, "We're about to go in."
"Is there anything unusual around here? Have you encountered any disciples from the pavilion?"
"No." The sound from the magic weapon began to become intermittent.
The three siblings, Qu Jingxian, Qu Yushu, and Qu Yaoyao, had been carefully guarding the sound transmission instrument, fearing that something might happen to them. Upon hearing this, Qu Yushu pondered, "Are there any traces of the Heavenly Venerable's magic left?"
“No.”
It's so weird here, "We haven't found a single living thing yet."
Suddenly, a disciple exclaimed from the magical instrument: "Look, Immortal Lord, what is that?"
Qu Jingxian gasped, "What happened over there?"
No one responded.
In the quiet room, the three of them could only hear the sound of hurried running. Then, for a long time, the magic weapon lost contact with them. Qu Jingxian was so anxious that her voice was almost hoarse. "Gu Tianci, answer quickly!"
"What happened over there?"
"Gu Tianci, Gu Tian...ci." Qu Jingxian was about to cry.
Just when they thought they were about to lose contact with the Four Symbols Pavilion again, the magic weapon suddenly lit up again, and Gu Tianci's vague and weak murmurs were heard from it.
"What?" Qu Jingxian quickly moved closer to the magical instrument to listen.
"Here...the original...place..." The voice from the magic weapon became even more vague.
Qu Jingxian was so anxious that she could only guess, "Where do you want us to go?"
"Original...place." Qu Yaoyao silently recited the voice from the magic instrument. Suddenly, she thought of something and rushed to the magic instrument and asked, "Are you talking about the phoenix?"
"Is it the genie flower?"
After clarifying Gu Tianci's vague words, the following sentence became easier to understand. What he said was -
The place is full of hibiscus flowers.
Click.
As expected, the important information was transmitted, and the magic weapon instantly dimmed.
…
The Four Symbols Pavilion is full of phoenix flowers. Anyone who enters will fall into the phoenix flower illusion, so no one can come out.
After figuring this out, Qu Yaoyao rushed to save the people. Qu Yushu stopped her and asked, "Do you know how to break the phoenix flower illusion?"
Qu Yaoyao didn’t know, but she had fallen into the Xuanquehua illusion before and came out alive.
"But Yaoyao, they are not you. Not everyone can come out of the Xuanque Flower like you." There has been no news from Mo Xuanxiao for such a long time. I think he has fallen into the illusion of the Xuanque Flower. The danger inside can be imagined.
"Fortunately, we know what's inside. The most important thing now is to find out how to break the illusion of the phoenix flower." So far, except for Qu Yaoyao, Qu Yushu has not heard of anyone who can come out of the phoenix flower illusion.
They can't mess around, they absolutely can't mess around now.
Under Qu Yushu's command, the three of them acted separately to find a way to crack the Xuanque flower. Qu Yaoyao and Qu Jingxian went to the library.
As Qu Yaoyao was anxiously flipping through ancient books on the top floor of the library, a gentle breeze fluttered the pages in her hands. A soft sigh came from the window, and someone softly said, "Do you need help?"
Qu Yaoyao turned her head and found someone sitting quietly by the window.
Huang Ying's bright yellow dress swayed as she leaned against the window railing with one leg bent, her lips curled up at Qu Yaoyao. Qu Yaoyao was startled, not knowing when she had appeared here. She took a few steps back and asked, "How did you get in?"
Chao Yuan and Huang Ying came and went freely in the Wanmen Xian Sect, which made Qu Yaoyao begin to doubt whether the defense barrier in the sect was just for show.
Huang Ying scoffed: "Does it matter how I got here?"
"You only need to know one thing: if I came to kill you, you would be a dead flower by now."
"Yaoyao." Seeing that Qu Yaoyao was still retreating, she raised an eyebrow and spoke softer, "Don't be so hostile to me. I'm here to help you."
"Help me?" Qu Yaoyao stopped and asked, "What are you helping me with?"
"Of course, it's to help you rescue Mo Xuanxiao from the Four Symbols Pavilion." Huang Ying paused, propping up her chin and asking Qu Yaoyao, "Don't you want to know how to break the phoenix flower illusion?"
"They don't have much time left to wait for you to rescue them."
Qu Yaoyao was indeed eager to know the solution, but she also didn't trust Huang Ying. After all, Huang Ying had been Chao Yuan's friend before, and she was also a demon. Qu Yaoyao couldn't judge whether her method was right or wrong.
Huang Ying seemed to understand Qu Yaoyao's thoughts and said slowly, "Perhaps you don't know yet, I am also from the Ancient Phoenix clan, and I am also the Golden-Feathered Divine Phoenix."
Qu Yaoyao really didn't know this, but looking at Huang Ying's red-gold eyes, she was not surprised.
"There are two ways to break the phoenix flower illusion. One is the cry of the golden-feathered divine phoenix. The king's power can break the phoenix flower illusion. This is the simplest method." Huang Ying came down from the window and said word by word, "I can do it."
"Then why are you looking for me?" Qu Yaoyao didn't completely trust her words.
Huang Ying smiled, "I can save them, but I can't save them yet. That kid painstakingly laid out such a big plan, how can I bear to ruin it?"
"Yaoyao." Huang Ying walked up to her, her fingertips casually brushing the lotus on her wrist. She raised her eyes and said, "Do you want to guess the second method to break the phoenix flower illusion?"
"Chao Yuan has tried that method for you."
Qu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously recalling what Chao Yuan had done after she entered the Xuanwuhua illusion. She lowered her eyes and said, "I don't want to guess."
Huang Ying didn't force her, but whispered to her: "When the phoenix flower blooms, love and hate are divided; the land of bliss is the land of death; the land of happiness is the land of death, and hell is the land of joy; the emperor's cry awakens the dream, and the joy and sorrow of the universe are intertwined."
"Think carefully about how Ri Chaoyuan lured you out of the illusion. The answer lies in these words."
Tick, tick.
The window was shaking slightly in the wind, and Huang Ying was no longer beside Qu Yaoyao.
"The land of happiness is the land of death, the land of hell is the land of pleasure...The emperor's cry awakens the dream, the world is filled with sorrow and joy." She stood there and repeated Huang Ying's so-called answer over and over again, and the scene of herself falling into the dream of the phoenix flower appeared in her mind again.
[Qu Yaoyao, you killed Xie Qingxun a long time ago. How can your Immortal Lord still be here?]
[Do you know why I go to the cold pond to see you every full moon? ]
[Because you can absorb the demonic energy emanating from my body. Qu Yaoyao, I have been using you all along. Can't you see that?]
【Wake up quickly.】
[I still need you as a sacrifice.]
Recalling every word Chao Yuan had spoken to her in the dream, Qu Yaoyao's eyes ached and moistened, her heart aching with pain and difficulty breathing. The more she felt, the more she repeated Huang Ying's words to her. After repeating them countless times, she suddenly settled on the last sentence: "The emperor's cry startled me in my dream, and the sorrow and joy of the universe were all over the place."
Qiankun represents yin and yang, which are opposite to each other.
To seek death in paradise, to seek pleasure in hell, Huang Ying meant... to make her dreams upside down.
This was the method Chao Yuan used to lead her out of the illusion.
