Chapter 88 Demon Lord 088%
The current Wanmen Immortal Sect can be described as more than just 'lively'.
Not only the Wanmen Immortal Sect, but other immortal sects have also discovered the demonized puppets one after another. They are killing people wantonly in the immortal sect. Many disciples cannot bear to take action because of their fellow sect members’ friendship, and are instead infected and demonized by these puppets.
It has to be said that the person who planned all this seized the cultivators' weaknesses, and this move was both sinister and vicious.
"You did all this!" Qu Yaoyao's originally pale face turned red due to shame and anger, and she looked a little cute through the mirror.
Chao Yuan stared at the girl in the mirror without blinking, then changed his position to lie on his side like a big cat, resting his chin on his arm, looking lazy and casual. "It was me who did it, what can you do about it?"
"You..." Qu Yaoyao was furious at his provocative attitude.
She threw the mirror onto the table. Not wanting to see Chao Yuan again, she collapsed onto the couch in exhaustion. The mirror spun around, and when it stabilized, Chao Yuan could only see the crystal rabbit lantern hanging from the ceiling, no longer a trace of Qu Yaoyao.
"Where have you been?" The smile on Chao Yuan's face gradually disappeared.
Qu Yaoyao remained silent, burying her head in her arms and closing her eyes. There was silence for a moment before she heard Chao Yuan's cold voice: "Qu Yaoyao, come back to me."
"Who allowed you to ignore me like this?"
A white shadow flashed across the mirror, then snapped shut. Chao Yuan couldn't even see the rabbit light on the roof; the mirror was completely dark, as if covered by something. Qu Yaoyao accurately dropped a pillow onto the sound-transmitting mirror and whispered back, thinking Chao Yuan couldn't hear, "I'm just ignoring you. What can you do about it?"
"Come out and hit me if you can."
"Annoying and annoying."
Chao Yuan had sharp ears, and while he couldn't hear all of her mumbling, he could hear the insults she was saying clearly. Taking advantage of the fact that he wasn't in front of her, she dared to talk back and provoke him in his tone. She was incredibly bold.
He listened quietly for a while, and when the little girl had vented enough, he asked, "Do you think I dare not go to the Wanmen Xianzong?"
"If you really miss me, I don't mind making a teleportation circle to be by your side immediately, but—"
"Are you sure that the Wanmen Immortal Sect can bear the presence of this deity?"
If he went to the Wanmen Immortal Sect, he would not just want to see Qu Yaoyao. If he didn't do something, it would be a waste of the teleportation array he had created with the huge amount of magic power.
"You dare!"
As soon as the words fell, Qu Yaoyao's angry and panicked threats came from the other side. She seemed to run back to the mirror and hit the pillow covering the mirror with force. "The Immortal Sect is already in chaos enough. Can you please stop making things worse?"
"Chao Yuan, what on earth do you want?"
Chao Yuan ordered: "Pick up the sound transmission mirror, I want to see you."
Wow——
Qu Yaoyao lifted the pillow on the mirror.
There are two realms between the demon world and the upper world. It is not easy to teleport directly. Even Mo Xuanxiao, who sits on the throne of the Heavenly Venerable, cannot do it. However, Chao Yuan casually uses this as a threat.
Qu Yaoyao didn't know whether he could really do it or was just lying to her, but no matter whether it was true or not, she didn't dare to take the risk of getting angry with the Wanmen Xian Sect. She could only obey his orders and pick up the mirror again.
Seeing Qu Yaoyao's face again, Chao Yuan's expression improved. "You always forget your lessons."
He said, "What good will it do you to anger me? You will come back to me eventually, and then you will be the one crying and begging for mercy."
She had never begged for mercy or acted like a spoiled child to him.
After all, Qu Yaoyao was frightened by Chao Yuan's threats. She didn't dare to talk back and get angry in public, but she refuted his words in her heart. Since he wanted to see her, she let him see.
Qu Yaoyao propped up the mirror with a teacup, facing it but refusing to look at it, letting Chao Yuan talk alone on the other side of the mirror. She just focused on folding paper, like a child who was scolded by her elders and dared not say a word but was unwilling to accept it, and could only make small moves secretly.
"Speak." Chao Yuan's cold voice came again from the other side.
Qu Yaoyao had already folded a little frog. She didn't look at Chao Yuan's expression in the mirror, but only listened to his cold tone. She didn't feel afraid at all.
She pressed the paper frog's body with her fingers, and when she let go, the little frog jumped out. Qu Yaoyao burst out laughing, her eyebrows curved and dimples appeared. She asked perfunctorily, "What did you say?"
Looking at Qu Yaoyao's bright and clean smile, Chao Yuan didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. He glanced at the paper frog and said calmly: "I want to ask when you will come back."
"Well, I originally wanted to go back in the next few days, but something unexpected happened in the sect, and I have been busy these past few days."
"What do you mean?"
Qu Yaoyao held down the jumping paper frog and said with her head down, "At least I need to make sure my sister is okay..."
"Your sister is fine." Chao Yuan interrupted her, "She was very alert. I didn't find an opportunity to attack her, so I didn't poison her."
Qu Yaoyao felt slightly relieved and continued to probe secretly, "Then let's wait until the sect finds a way to break this poison. I can't let Mo Xuanxiao face it alone."
Chao Yuan was so angry that he laughed.
How could he not see what this little flower was up to? So he pinched it out word by word with his own hands, "You want to get the antidote from me?"
It was so innocent that he felt pity for her. "If you don't want the Immortal Sect to be destroyed faster, I advise you to take the Kunlun Stone and return to me immediately."
"What about me?"
Qu Yaoyao gathered the paper frog in her palm and wrote something on its back with a pen. Hearing Chao Yuan's threat, she asked, "Didn't you poison me too? If I don't return to you, will I soon become one of those demented, demonized puppets?"
Chao Yuan was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about this question.
"Qu Yaoyao..." Just as she was about to answer, another person's gentle voice came from the mirror: "Demon Lord, Tu Ling has something to report."
Snap——
The mirror suddenly lost its luster.
Qu Yaoyao looked up and saw her face reflected in the mirror, and she had lost contact with the demon world.
The room fell silent again. She stared blankly at herself in the mirror. After waiting for a long time, Chao Yuan did not reappear. She blinked her dry eyes and lowered her head.
The ink on the paper frog had dried. Qu Yaoyao placed the paper frog on the table and pressed it hard. This time the paper frog jumped directly from the table to the door, but it did not wait for its owner to pick it up.
“…”
As the foremost sect of immortal cultivation, the Wanmen Immortal Sect handled the demonized puppetry issue swiftly and steadily, promptly controlling the infestation. However, other sects, with far fewer puppets than the Wanmen Immortal Sect, suffered severe losses due to late detection and inadequate handling, making them even more problematic than the Wanmen Immortal Sect.
Right now, everyone in the world of immortal cultivation is in danger, fearing that they will be transformed into puppets by demons without being careful. Mo Xuanxiao immediately hurriedly discussed with the leaders of various factions. Because they were worried about being demonized, they all communicated with each other through voice mirrors. Everyone had their own excuses and no one believed anyone else. Some even complained that Mo Xuanxiao and his team were the ones who took the greatest responsibility because they failed to discover the problem in time when they were rescuing people.
Of course, most of the leaders of the immortal sects were sensible. They believed that communicating through the sound transmission mirror was not as good as talking face to face. After several hours of discussion, they still could not come up with an effective solution.
"These demons are simply too much. After this battle, we must settle the score with them."
"Yes, Tianzun, our repeated tolerance has only resulted in those demons becoming more and more rampant. If we don't take action, those demons will surely wreak havoc on the human world and cause great chaos."
"All of this was done by that Demon Lord Chao Yuan. Ever since he ascended to the throne, these demons have been restless. I wonder what he's up to by using the name of the Emperor Feng Crown Prince. Heavenly Lord, we must not let him off easily. We must capture him alive..."
"Alright!" Gu Tianci couldn't bear to listen any longer. He asked coldly, "The demonization issue hasn't been resolved yet, and you're already thinking about attacking the demon world."
"When the two venerables fell, it was you who called for a truce, and now it's you who are talking about attacking the demon world. I would like to ask you, when we attack the demon world, how many disciples can you send to lead the charge?"
"Tian Ci Immortal Lord, what do you mean by this?"
Gu Tianci sneered, "Do I have to tell you what I mean? You won't be able to save your reputation if you do."
"Oh, Tianci Immortal Lord is so arrogant."
One of the sect leaders said sarcastically, "Everyone, please show some respect. Tianci Immortal Lord used to follow Qingxi Immortal Lord. Since he can accept the demon as his master, Tianci Immortal Lord must be confident."
"What did you say! Try saying it again." Gu Tianci jumped up and down, feeling that they had hit a sore spot.
Mo Xuanxiao glanced at the sect leader who had made the sarcastic remark, chuckled softly, and said, "Master Xuanjian, have you forgotten that I was once a disciple of Immortal Qingxi?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent, and even Gu Tianci shut up.
Mo Xuanxiao examined the several sound transmission mirrors suspended in the air one by one, tapped the table, and gave an order, "I have already dispatched disciples from the Medicine King Sect to rescue the various sects. As long as we can control those demonized disciples and properly accommodate them, there will be a chance for a turnaround."
"Right now, the more chaos we cause, the more opportunities those demons will have to take advantage of us."
One of the sect leaders heard the hidden meaning in Mo Xuanxiao's words and asked, "Does Tianzun think there's a bigger conspiracy behind those demons?"
"The demon world hasn't attacked the Immortal Sect in a hundred years. Chao Yuan's move caused chaos in the Immortal Sect. He couldn't have failed to anticipate the disaster that would follow this method."
"What the Heavenly Venerable said makes sense."
Everyone regained their composure after Mo Xuanxiao's few words and analyzed the situation carefully, "The demon world is not yet fully capable of surpassing the immortal sect. There must be something mysterious behind Demon Lord Chao Yuan's actions. We must proceed with caution."
"Tianzun, please tell us what arrangements you have, we will follow your instructions."
Gu Tianci breathed a sigh of relief and gave Mo Xuanxiao a thumbs up where the sound transmission mirror couldn't see.
By the time the discussion was over, another two hours had passed and Mo Xuanxiao was physically and mentally exhausted.
Gu Tianci originally thought he would go back to rest, but he didn't expect him to go straight to Qu Yaoyao's bedroom after returning to the Immortal Ruins. He couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity..."
Mo Xuanxiao didn't know what he was regretting, nor did he feel like knowing.
Standing in front of Qu Yaoyao's room, a layer of faint golden light barrier enveloped the entire palace. This was what Qu Yaoyao begged him to set up when he left, for fear that he would suddenly turn into a demon and hurt others.
"Yaoyao."
After knocking on the door, Mo Xuanxiao didn't get a response from the person inside. Worried that something had happened to Qu Yaoyao, he knocked again to remind her, "Am I coming in?"
Seeing that the person in the house was silent, he pushed the door open and entered the room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a paper frog left in front of the door. This was what he taught Qu Yaoyao himself. Qu Yaoyao learned things very quickly. She folded a cute paper frog in just a few tries and showed it to him like a treasure.
Back then, without Xie Qingxun or anyone else, he stayed by her side all day in the vast Immortal Ruins, patiently waiting for her to emerge from the shadow of Xie Qingxun's death. Mo Xuanxiao still remembered the first smile Qu Yaoyao gave him. The innocent and beautiful girl was fragile yet strong, her sparkling eyes filled with stars.
Thinking of these memories, Mo Xuanxiao's expression gradually softened. He bent down to pick up the paper frog on the ground and saw four words written on the frog's back -
The devil Chao Yuan.
With a smile frozen on his face, Mo Xuanxiao stared at the paper frog in his palm and slowly tightened his grip. When he let go, the paper frog turned into powder and dissipated from between his fingers, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The author has something to say: Poor paper frog.
