Chapter 78 Demon Lord 078%
.
Qu Yaoyao has been having strange dreams recently.
In the dream, the world was covered with ice and snow, and the blood-red sky was gloomy and dull. Someone wrapped her in a cloak and carried her away. She could grab the man's black hair and touch his cold, crimson robe, but she could never look up and see his face clearly.
"Yaoyao." The person in the dream also called her this.
Qu Yaoyao tried to see his face clearly, but as soon as she poked her head out from under the cloak, she heard the rumbling sound of an avalanche in the distance. Just like the several times before, Qu Yaoyao saw nothing but white in front of her eyes and woke up from her dream gasping for breath.
"Is Fairy Yaolian in the Immortal Ruins?" The voices of two people talking could be heard outside the door.
Yunzhi lowered her voice and replied, "The fairy has not looked well these past few days and is resting in the house right now. What's the matter?"
"Nothing." The man smiled. "Xuan Yao Tianzun got a few clumps of snow coral and said burning them can help with sleep and calm the mind. He asked me to bring them to the fairy."
Yunzhi was very surprised, "Then let me thank Xuanyao Tianzun on behalf of the fairy.
Qu Yaoyao listened quietly to the conversation outside the door, her thoughts wandering.
...It's been a hundred years.
A full hundred years have passed since that day.
During this long hundred years, there was no more Immortal Lord in the world of cultivating immortals. After experiencing a period of chaos and no leader, Mo Xuanxiao completely awakened the dragon bloodline and was honored as Xuan Yao Tianzun. He moved into the Immortal Ruins and merged the two into one, becoming the new ruler of the world of cultivating immortals.
He is also the only one in charge.
And Qu Yaoyao is honored as the Fairy Yaolian.
It was not until Chong'an left completely, leaving Qu Yaoyao alone to face this dire situation, that she truly understood his good intentions.
As Xie Qingxun's wife, Chong'an seemed to have anticipated the revelation of Xie Qingxun's true identity, anticipating his hatred and imprisonment. He calculated the timing, and without Qu Yaoyao's knowledge, he had Qu Yushu waiting outside the palace. He precisely timed everyone's movements, ultimately delivering the fatal blow to Xie Qingxun with Qu Yaoyao's body.
In this way, everyone will only be grateful to Qu Yaoyao for killing the devil and saving the immortal gate. Even her marriage to Xie Qingxun has become a sacrifice she had to make in order to get hold of the devil's handle.
Chong'an made her the justice of the immortal sect, and also let her kill Xie Qingxun with her own hands.
"Thank you..." Thinking of this name, Qu Yaoyao opened her mouth softly, but only uttered one word and didn't dare to say it anymore.
squeak--
The door was gently pushed open.
Yunzhi came in holding snow coral and was about to light a bunch to try it out, but when she turned around, she saw Qu Yaoyao sitting on the couch.
"Is the fairy awake?" Yunzhi walked forward quickly, and she asked worriedly, "Did the fairy have another nightmare today?"
I had a dream, and the dream became clearer and clearer.
In order not to make Yunzhi worry, Qu Yaoyao forced a smile and replied, "I had a good rest last night. I had no dreams."
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief and showed Qu Yaoyao the snow coral in her arms. She smiled and said, "It was sent by Xuanyao Tianzun. I know you haven't been sleeping well recently, so I sent someone to bring you some snow coral to help you sleep."
"Xiao Tuan said that Tianzun found this coral accidentally. I think he went to the Snow Mountain specifically to find it for you. I heard that this snow coral is extremely difficult to find. Tianzun must have put in a lot of effort."
"If you ask me, Fairy, you've been cultivating for such a long time, it's time to come out and meet people." Yunzhi kept rambling on and on, but got no response. She turned her head away angrily, "Fairy, are you listening to me?"
"I'm listening." Qu Yaoyao glanced at Xue Shanhu, put on her clothes and sat up from the couch, nodding repeatedly and said, "I'll go out for a walk now."
Yunzhi sighed, "It's cold outside, at least put on a robe before you go out!"
When she chased after him with her outer robe, the man had already disappeared.
“…”
It's snowing again this year, and the snow this year is heavier than in previous years.
Heavy snow blanketed the eaves, the whiteness overwhelming the sky, a dreamlike scene. Qu Yaoyao looked up and saw the sky was a grayish-blue and somewhat gloomy, but not the blood-red she had dreamed of. She shook her head and murmured, "Not here."
Since the Immortal Ruins was returned to Mo Xuanxiao, it has changed from its previous indifference and is now bustling with people coming and going. People passing by will greet her when they see her.
Although Qu Yaoyao had killed Xie Qingxun, her status was awkward. Initially, no one knew where she should stay. It was Mo Xuanxiao and Gu Tianci who persuaded her to stay in the Immortal Ruins, and Qu Yaoyao has lived there ever since.
The Xianxu is still the Xianxu from a hundred years ago, but the owner living there has changed.
Qu Yaoyao walked all the way to the cold pond under the Jingyue Tower. There were still only a few snow lotuses there. The cold pond became even colder in winter, and she was the only one willing to go close to it.
A hundred years ago, she hid the Kunlun Stone here.
When everyone was chasing her, she asked Mo Xuanxiao to sneak back to the Immortal Ruins and place the Kunlun Stone in the pistil of one of the snow lotuses. The words she said to Xie Qingxun before her death were her final reminder to him.
But she never imagined that the Kunlun Stone was still there, but the person who wanted it was gone. Perhaps even Xie Qingxun hadn't thought that he would die at her hands.
"You are here indeed." While she was lost in thought, a thick cloak fell on her shoulders.
Qu Yaoyao looked up and saw Mo Xuanxiao standing beside her at some point. The man was dressed in a dark gold robe, looking noble and indifferent. There was a golden totem printed on his forehead. His face was handsome, but a little pale.
He explained, "Yunzhi thought you went to my place and couldn't find you anywhere, so she was very worried."
Qu Yaoyao gathered the cloak she was wearing, which was the one Yunzhi had given her. "Then how did you find me?"
Mo Xuanxiao curled his lips slightly, "Every time you're in a bad mood, you come to the cold pond and stare blankly."
Qu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and explained palely: "I'm not in a bad mood, it's just..."
Just what?
Qu Yaoyao was speechless. Seeing that Mo Xuanxiao's face was abnormally pale, she quickly changed the subject, "Why are you so pale? Are you sick?"
Mo Xuanxiao was about to say nothing was wrong when someone leaned against the porch, holding a sword, and said leisurely, "He was bitten by a water monster while trying to find snow coral for you. It's nothing serious, just poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Qu Yaoyao quickly grabbed Mo Xuanxiao, "Where are you injured?"
Mo Xuanxiao's arm was injured. He didn't want Qu Yaoyao to see it, but she insisted. He had no choice but to roll up his sleeves, revealing the wound. It had been a few days, so the wound had scabbed over, but a dark, demonic aura was visible around it, threatening to spread.
Qu Yaoyao waved spiritual energy from her fingers and tentatively wrapped it around his arm.
For a hundred years, Qu Yaoyao rarely ventured outside, diligently cultivating, nearing the point of merging with the Snow Lotus essence within her body. This earned her the name Yaolian Fairy, capable of dispelling toxins and dispelling evil spirits. The title of Fairy was truly authentic and not in vain.
"No." Qu Yaoyao could only help him dispel the evil spirit from the wound, but could not remove the poison from it.
She asked, "What bit you?"
Mo Xuanxiao recalled: "It was completely red, with a spider body and a snake head no bigger than a fist. It could not only enter the water but also come out of it."
Qu Yaoyao understood, "It's a spider fish. This thing is a monster with a highly poisonous body. No wonder it is not afraid of your golden dragon body."
In addition to cultivation, Qu Yaoyao had also read a lot of books over the past hundred years, covering a wide range of subjects. Spider fish were unintelligent monsters, originally unique to the demon world. However, the demon world had been turbulent in recent years, and many monsters had emerged.
"It's nothing serious." Not wanting to worry Qu Yaoyao, Mo Xuanxiao lowered his sleeves and said, "I just need to meditate and practice Qigong three more times, and the poison will be expelled."
"But it's going to hurt." Qu Yaoyao knew all too well the symptoms of a spiderfish bite, and she also knew the poison wasn't as easily cured as Mo Xuanxiao claimed. He was a supreme being in the world of immortal cultivation, and he'd been injured while collecting snow coral for her. It was neither moral nor logical for Qu Yaoyao to just ignore it.
She thought for a moment and said, "I know there's a magical herb in the lower realm that specifically counteracts spider fish venom. I'll go get it for you right away."
She was about to leave when Mo Xuanxiao grabbed her. Knowing he couldn't persuade her, he said, "I'll go with you."
"Need not."
Qu Yaoyao waved her hand and said, "That kind of spiritual herb is very common. I'll be back soon."
Watching her walk away, Mo Xuanxiao pressed his forehead and sighed, "You know her temper, you shouldn't tell her such trivial matters."
Gu Tianci sneered: "Do you think I did this for you?"
His eyes also fell on the receding figure, and his lazy expression gradually subsided. "She's been bored for so long, why not let her take this opportunity to go out for a walk?"
She really should go out for a walk.
Mo Xuanxiao's brows were still furrowed. "The lower realm has been uneasy lately. I'm worried..."
"It's just picking a herb." Gu Tianci stretched and interrupted him, "Don't worry, most small demons avoid her. There are not so many big demons in the lower world for her to encounter."
Thanks to Gu Tianci's good words, Qu Yaoyao really encountered a big monster.
.
The spiritual herb that Qu Yaoyao wants to pick is called Yanye, which grows in the mountains and forests of the lower world.
Originally, this kind of grass was very common in the deep forests, but this time she went to the lower world and couldn't find any Flame Leaves. Just as she was wondering, she heard the old man's pleading voice not far away: "All the Flame Leaves in this lower world have been picked up. There really are no more. Please let me go, sir."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you can't find Yan Ye, I'll eat you!"
Qu Yaoyao approached quietly and saw a little demon wielding a knife at the old man. Before the knife could touch the old man, Qu Yaoyao swung out a stream of spiritual power to disperse the little demon. The old man knelt down and cried, "Thank you for saving my life, immortal. Please go and save my grandson. He is still in the cave of those monsters."
Qu Yaoyao helped the old man up and said soothingly, "Old man, please speak slowly."
From the old man, Qu Yaoyao learned that a fox demon lived in a cave in the forest. It not only ate people but also captured many doctors to pick Yan leaves for her. This is how the Yan leaves in the mountains were picked.
Knowing that there were several mortals imprisoned in the cave, Qu Yaoyao asked the old man to wait for her outside the mountain and went to the fox demon's cave alone.
Qu Yaoyao thought it was just an ordinary fox demon, but once she entered the cave, she discovered it was a seven-tailed fox demon with a high level of cultivation. The fox demon was beautiful and dressed in red. When she saw Qu Yaoyao, she just chuckled and said, "Another immortal cultivator has come to seek his own death. Looks like I can have a good meal today."
"You guys leave quickly." Qu Yaoyao protected these mortals and left, using magic to block the fox demon's attack.
Among fox demons, three tails were considered great, and seven tailed fox demons were extremely rare, making them the greatest of the great. With nine tails, they were powerful enough to wreak havoc. Qu Yaoyao secretly calculated her odds of winning against her, and upon discovering that this seven-tailed fox demon was injured and unable to fight at full strength, she decided to seize the opportunity to eliminate it.
After a long fight, the injured fox demon revealed a flaw and was slapped against the wall by Qu Yaoyao.
She spat out a mouthful of blood and weakly transformed into her original form. Unable to fight, she begged, "Please don't kill me. I was forced to do so."
Qu Yaoyao covered her with a magic circle and asked, "Where is Yan Ye?"
The fox demon replied honestly, "It's in the wooden box on the table."
Qu Yaoyao didn't dare to believe her words completely, so she walked to the table and used magic to test it. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she opened it and found that it was full of Yan leaves.
"What do you want so many Yanye for?"
The fox demon's voice grew weaker and weaker. "I was ordered to pick snow corals, but the monsters underwater bite anyone they see, regardless of friend or foe. I made these flame leaves into a robe and hung it on my body to keep those monsters away."
I see.
Qu Yaoyao placed the Flame Leaf into her storage bag and quickly found the Snow Coral the fox demon had mentioned. It was contained in an exquisite box, dozens of clumps. Regardless of what the fox demon wanted it for, Qu Yaoyao put it all into her storage bag.
She walked up to the fox demon and said, "I won't kill you, but you must come back to the Immortal Sect with me."
The Wanmen Immortal Sect has a special place for imprisoning powerful demons. This fox demon behaves strangely, so Qu Yaoyao plans to bring her back to the sect for a thorough interrogation.
The fox demon crouched on the ground and said weakly, "Thank you, Immortal... for not killing me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fox demon in the magic circle suddenly turned into a ball of white hair. A murderous aura invaded Qu Yaoyao's back, and the fox demon laughed wantonly, "Little fairy, do you really think you can trap me, the seven-tailed fox demon?"
Qu Yaoyao quickly turned around and slapped out with her palm, but found that the fox demon behind her turned into white hair and disappeared again.
To be able to become a seven-tailed fox demon, this fox demon was not only powerful in cultivation, but also cunning and insidious. Qu Yaoyao did capture this fox demon, and the fox demon did not escape her binding magic circle, but simply used an illusion on her.
Qu Yaoyao had only cultivated herself for the past hundred years but had no actual combat experience. Although she had learned knowledge from books, she could not withstand the cunning of the fox demon. She was tricked by the demon when she was not paying attention. By the time she reacted, the fox demon had already escaped from the magic circle and was trying to catch her.
Swish——
Before the sharp claws could grab Qu Yaoyao's heart, a red-gold phoenix appeared from her wrist and blocked the fatal blow for her.
"Ah--" the fox demon screamed, and one of the seven tails behind it was burned in an instant.
In the flames, the fox demon stared at the phoenix in front of Qu Yaoyao with wide eyes. She said in disbelief, "How could you..."
The phoenix flapped its wings, golden light poured out and flowed, and red lotus blossomed.
The breath traversed mountains and rivers, passed through layers of miasma, and penetrated deep into the earth, following tens of thousands of demons into a gloomy palace. Layers of red curtains fluttered and fell, and the person sleeping on the couch, as if sensing something, slowly raised their long eyelashes.
This is the first time that Lian Chao has appeared in a hundred years.
The author has something to say: Sorry for the long wait.
The first volume is finally over, I was so frustrated.
Yes, it was the male protagonist who died in the first volume, and this was also the reason for Chong'an's appearance. As for the purpose of doing this, you will suddenly realize it as the second volume ends, and then reread the first volume from another perspective, and you will have another new feeling.
(This volume may end with a character biography of Qu Yingsi and Pei Ziyi. Please subscribe if you like. If it is written, it will not affect the update of the main text.)
The second volume is the sacrificial volume. It won’t be as long as the first volume. Don’t think that because the first volume ends with many misunderstandings, the second volume will be very sad. I personally think it’s just sweet and sour.
I can only say that the hero will indeed grow and become evil after this disaster, but his IQ will not decrease, and he still has at least some judgment. There is a reason why he laughs before his death.
That's it.
