Su Xun followed the attendants into the Demon Palace and saw Li Muge's weak appearance, which pained him deeply.
"Mu Ge, you..."
"Third Brother." Li Muge's eyes were filled with tears, but she stubbornly held them back, refusing to let them fall.
She understood long ago that tears are the most useless thing in the world.
"Mu Ge, let me tell you, Father and Mother have found the High Priest and activated the Heart Gu in your body. If they come looking for us..."
"You must not confront them head-on. If they destroy the spirit pearl that controls your heart-devouring poison, Mu Ge, your life may be in danger."
"Don't worry, Mu Ge. Just go along with them for now. Once Third Brother finds a way to save you, we'll make other plans."
Su Xun actually had another meaning: since his father and mother had something that could restrain Li Muge, they would definitely force Li Muge to save Su Qing.
"Hahaha, how ridiculous!" Li Muge's pupils turned blood red: "I, the protector, let them go, yet they still won't let me go."
"Guardian, the Phoenix Clan has arrived."
The guards of the Demon Palace reported respectfully.
This demon palace is full of spies from the King of Yecheng and other ministers.
If the Demon Lord continues to be this foolish, anyone can become the Demon Lord, except for Li Muge.
"Heh, they've come at the perfect time." Ignoring Su Xun's attempts to stop her, Li Muge got out of bed.
"Mu Ge, don't be impulsive. You are no match for them right now. You can't act rashly. The Heart Gu is powerful, and neither you nor I can defeat it."
Su Xun's narrow eyes were filled with worry, and he held Li Muge's arm tightly with both hands.
"Third Brother." Li Muge slowly pushed Su Xun's hand away, her eyes icy cold: "How can you still be so naive? Do you think that if I, the Protector, show weakness, the Phoenix King and Su Qing will let me go?"
“Su Xun, what they said is true. I am no longer the sister you used to be. You don’t need to worry about my affairs anymore.”
Li Muge raised her eyes.
Since we can't keep to ourselves...
Then don't blame her for being ruthless.
It's incredibly naive of them to think they can control her with a mere Heart Gu.
"Father, my brother has run away into the Demon Realm and must have told my sister everything. What should we do? What if my sister Muge was prepared?"
Su Qing, dressed in a butterfly-patterned silk dress, said in a choked voice, "Father, why don't we go back? Even Brother Wuchen is no match for Sister Muge. What if, what if you encounter some danger?"
"Father, let's go back. Even if I die without Sister Muge's heart's blood, I don't want you to get hurt."
"Hahaha, Su Qing is right, in that case you should just die."
Li Muge dodged, raised her hand and grabbed Su Qing's neck, pulling her directly to her side.
"Cough cough cough, Father, save me, save me." Su Qing's neck was bleeding from exhaustion.
Li Muge's bone whip was covered with many poisonous curses. Su Qing was already seriously injured, and it was only after the Phoenix King transferred three hundred years of his true energy to her.
Su Qing's injuries then stabilized somewhat.
"You wretched creature, release your sister at once, or else..." The Phoenix King opened his palm, and the spirit pearl was now emitting an eerie red light.
Li Muge felt a pang of pain in her heart.
It doesn't matter what's on the surface.
"What, Phoenix King, are you going to kill me? If I remember correctly, a thousand years ago, didn't you already say that I, Li Muge, had nothing to do with your Phoenix Clan?"
"Since there is no connection, why should I necessarily save Su Qing just because you ask me to? You righteous people are full of benevolence and morality, but you are actually the most hypocritical."
"Since you, Phoenix King, insist that I, the Protector, save Su Qing..."
As soon as Li Muge raised her hand, Su Qing's body was thrown uncontrollably to her side.
The Phoenix King felt sorry for his daughter: "Mu Ge, you have really disappointed me. Although you were arrogant in the past, you were not so unable to distinguish right from wrong."
"The evil of the demon realm is something that the entire righteous path must eradicate. My child, you must not let the riches and glory before your eyes cloud your judgment."
The Phoenix King spoke earnestly.
The reasoning behind it is certainly excellent.
Li Muge scoffed: "Phoenix King, you seem to have forgotten who forced me into the Demon Realm."
"Alright." The Phoenix King sighed, "Since Li Muge, no matter how much I try to reason with you and appeal to your emotions, you still keep making the same mistakes, then don't blame your father for being heartless and disregarding our past father-daughter relationship."
"You dare!" Little Peony stood protectively in front of Li Muge, summoning the green vine as a weapon. "Old man, I don't care if you're the Phoenix King or some other random thing, you can't hurt my guardian."
"Get out of the way. I, the Protector, want to settle my score with the Phoenix King personally."
Li Muge raised her hand, and the vengeful spirit bit Su Qing's arm, causing Su Qing to writhe on the ground in pain.
"Father, please save me! It hurts so much!"
"Qing'er!" The Phoenix King roared, "Li Muge, aren't you afraid I'll destroy the Spirit Pearl?"
"Afraid? Phoenix King, are you out of your mind? Who in this world isn't afraid of death? But even if I die, I won't die a cowardly death."
Li Muge gripped the bone whip: "Phoenix King, you can destroy the Spirit Pearl, but can I guarantee that your precious daughter will not survive?"
Upon receiving the news, Niu Zhan also rushed to the outskirts of the Demon Realm.
In the Three Realms, there has always been an unwritten rule in order to protect the rare peace.
People from the celestial realm cannot enter the demon realm.
Furthermore, demonic cultivators are even less allowed to enter the Immortal Realm.
"Wife, wife, what's wrong?" Yun Qi ran to the outside of the Demon Realm by himself and saw Li Muge with a serious expression.
He immediately ran to Li Muge's side and scolded Feng Wang: "You big bearded man, you can't bully my wife."
Although his words were childish, they warmed Li Muge's heart.
I never would have guessed that Yun Qi, who's become a fool, actually knows how to behave.
What a mistake! I should have made this guy stupid sooner, turning this madman into a sweet and adorable little darling. That would have been such a worthwhile deal.
Su Qing then believed the rumors that Li Muge had actually married a fool, and she felt a bit of schadenfreude.
What does it matter if he's good-looking? It's just that this Demon Lord is a fool.
It seems that when it comes to important matters like marriage...
She was now a step above Li Muge, as Emperor Wuchen was the only son of the Heavenly Empress and the Heavenly Emperor.
Although my eyes are injured now.
But with the support of the celestial realm, she believed that Brother Wuchen's injuries would definitely heal.
All she needs to do then is marry Emperor Wuchen.
The title of future queen of pop will surely belong to her.
Phoenix King did indeed want to destroy the Spirit Pearl.
To be fair, although Li Muge is not his biological daughter, he has long regarded her as his own daughter.
But-
How did Li Muge repay him?
Joining the demon race and slaughtering righteous people is a disgrace to him and the Phoenix God Clan.
Phoenix King silently recited the incantation.
The spiritual pearl in his palm began to shine brightly.
It felt as if countless needles were piercing deep into Li Muge's heart.
She clutched her heart tightly, and then something even stranger happened.
Li Muge discovered that he couldn't move his legs at all, as if they were rooted to the ground.
