"You guessed half right." Li Muge said coldly, "Well, I don't care about any grudges or entanglements between you and this woman, nor am I interested in them."
"If you give me the antidote for the Heart Gu, I guarantee I'll spare your life, how about that?"
Ale put down the bronze mirror.
He spat at Li Muge and said, "Li Muge, stop dreaming. I might save anyone in this world, except you."
"I, the prince, will definitely not save him."
Li Muge smiled enigmatically: "Yun Qi, do you have any more talismans? Give me two stacks. Today, this protector will definitely burn this psychopath to ashes."
Yun Qi's indifferent eyes lit up.
He seemed particularly interested in anything that could make money.
"Come on, Li Muge, if you need more, just ask. There's plenty."
“Okay, I understand.” Li Muge’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: “Prince Ale, even a death row inmate should know the reason before he dies. We have no past grudges or recent conflicts, so why must you kill me?”
"Is it simply because I, the protector, am a demon?"
Ale slightly turned his hand, revealing a compass: "Li Muge, I have already calculated your fate."
“If you are allowed to live, you will surely bring destruction to the Three Realms. There are many demons, but you, Li Muge, cannot be allowed to live.”
As he spoke, Ale closed his eyes, his voice sounding as if he were in great difficulty: "Li Muge, go to your death, just for the sake of the Three Realms."
He's already made a mistake once.
Back then, he caused trouble for the Phoenix Clan because of a wrong love and a love that was not worth it at all, and the Three Realms were almost implicated by him.
This time, he couldn't afford to make another mistake; Li Muge had to die.
Li Muge pursed her lips.
She felt uneasy about what Prince Ale said, because in her past life she had indeed broken the contract barrier between immortals and demons.
This is what allowed Yun Qi, that madman, to wreak havoc and bloodshed throughout the Three Realms.
But Li Muge found the idea that she had to die for the sake of the Three Realms utterly baffling.
“Prince Ale, I only treated you like a human being because I gave you face. For the sake of the Three Realms, how could you slit your own throat and offer yourself as a sacrifice to the Three Realms?”
"If life is so trivial to you, then why do you, a grown man, hide in a woman's body and eke out a living?"
"Living a wretched life." Ale stroked his face—no, that's not right, it should be the face of the high priest.
"Do you know what I've been through? This is her retribution, this is Yu Linglong's retribution."
"Back then, for her sake, I was willing to give up the throne, and I don't know how much blood of my own kind I stained my hands with, but what did I get in return?"
The soul of Ale exists.
So, is Yu Linglong's soul either dead or still existing in this body?
Ale shed tears, raised his sword and cut off his long hair: "In this world, the least trustworthy thing is a woman's words."
Li Muge smiled but remained silent.
They make it seem like all men are good people.
Ale raised his hand, the sunlight on the horizon stinging his eyes: "I gave my heart, only to be betrayed in return. Yu Linglong was nothing but bait for the demons, a lure to entice this prince into demonic possession."
Taking advantage of Ale's grief, Li Muge threw out a talisman, picked up the sword on the ground, pierced the talisman, and slit Ale's throat with the sword.
Ale clutched his neck, his eyes filled with a chilling smile: "Li Muge, you've lost. I won't die, but you will eventually die from the Heart Gu."
"This is the only way I can atone for the sins I have committed."
Li Muge curled her lips into a cold smile.
She placed the talisman on Ale's forehead: "Prince, your thoughts are truly pathetic."
"How can worldly affairs be determined by fate?"
"Don't even mention that I haven't destroyed the Three Realms yet. Even if I had, so what? Anyway, I'm no longer a good person."
"Why should you wrong yourself by dealing with these irrelevant people?"
After Ale was bound.
As the illusion faded, Li Muge and Yun Qi returned to the main hall, their gazes clashing.
Li Muge suddenly felt another wave of cold.
Frost appeared on Li Muge's skin, and as the ice layer grew thicker, Yun Qi waved his hand and cast a spell to dispel the cold.
Li Muge's gaze was fixed on the pendant around Yun Qi's neck, but it held a different kind of attraction for her at that moment.
Seeing that his spells could not stop the speed at which Li Muge's body was frozen, Yun Qi frowned, made a difficult decision, and hugged Li Muge.
The ice on Li Muge's body slowly melted.
She wanted to touch the pendant on Yun Qi's body, but the next moment, Yun Qi's aura changed.
He pushed Li Muge away directly.
“Protector Li, don’t take my leniency as a bargaining chip to overstep your bounds.”
"What?" Li Muge stood up: "Demon Lord, you misunderstand me. I just find it strange that since my heart worm flared up, the pain of my heart worm would be temporarily relieved whenever you came near me."
But Li Muge seemed to have touched a taboo of Yun Qi. With a gloomy face, he used magic to hide the pendant around his neck.
"Li Muge, you'd better not covet my things."
"Fine, don't fight then. You stingy little thing, you'll be going to hell sooner or later."
Li Muge muttered, "Damn madwoman, she better not let her find a chance, otherwise she will definitely make sure that damned man Yun Qi never has a chance to turn the tables."
"Guardian, something terrible has happened!" Niu Zhan ran into the hall covered in blood, one of his horns had been cut off.
"What's wrong?" Li Muge suddenly had a bad feeling.
Niu Zhan knelt dejectedly on the ground, blood dripping from the wounds on his hands onto the marble floor.
The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became tense.
"Guardian, it's all my fault for being useless. Little Peony has been captured by people from the Immortal Realm. They said that if you don't go to rescue Su Qing..."
"Just...just...save him." Niu Zhan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"What is it? Tell me quickly!" Li Muge's eyes were sharp, and his imposing aura made the palace servants guarding the palace gate lower their heads and dare not breathe.
“Guardian, they say that if you don’t save Little Peony, you will be punished by heaven.”
"Bastard!" Li Muge roared in anger, her resentment uncontrollably emanating from her body.
"Who? Who devised this idea?" Li Muge closed her eyes.
A hint of fatigue could be seen between his brows.
"I heard it's the Immortal Emperor Wuchen from the Celestial Realm." Niu Zhan knelt on the ground, the blood flowing from his head making his face unrecognizable.
He kowtowed several times, his head hitting the ground hard.
“Guardian, this whole thing is my fault. I was incompetent and failed to protect Xiaoshaoyao.”
Niu Zhan raised his head: "Guardian, you must not give in to the wishes of those scoundrels from the demon realm. Send your subordinate to save Xiao Shaoyao. Even if it costs me my life, I will bring Xiao Shaoyao back."
Yun Qi observed Li Muge's expression.
Although this incident was orchestrated by the celestial realm, he did it rather naturally.
Li Muge's fate was predetermined.
Even if he lets it go, the Immortal Realm will not let him go.
