Chapter 3 Dark Vortex



Demon Cave Mountain

The dark demon realm is perpetually devoid of sunlight; even the beautiful moonlight carries an air of endless desolation…

On this day, the lights of countless homes illuminated the entire demon territory, and the demon chieftain Cangmu commanded all his people to gather here—

"The Celestial Race survives for a hundred years, the Demon Race for a thousand, but my Demon Race must endure countless calamities to survive—" Clad in black robes, wielding a jet-black demonic sword, his crimson eyes like those of a dormant, ferocious beast, he pointed his sword at the heavens and roared, "Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating us like straw dogs. Only by conquering the Heavenly Palace can we live as long as the heavens!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a powerful and heartfelt cry erupted, with everyone shouting in unison:

"Conquer the Heavenly Palace and live as long as Heaven!"

"Conquer the Heavenly Palace and live as long as Heaven!"

The support of his clansmen brought a sinister smile to Cang Mu's face. Beside him, a man in a blue lotus robe silently toyed with a dark ring on his finger.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Palace Flower Mansion, a gentle breeze blew, and fallen petals landed on the window sill—all signs of a peaceful and auspicious occasion.

Hua Baixian reached out and carefully picked up the fallen flower in her palm, gazing at it with longing. Her mind was filled with the image of the gentle, refined, and handsome young man in white who had become acquainted with her through the flower.

“Gu Liyan…” Hua Baixian smiled dreamily, as if she could see the shadow of that young man.

And the parties involved at this time—

The fair-skinned, beautiful, and adorable little fox was lying on the bed behind her, fast asleep with its paws in the air, completely oblivious to the fact that it was on someone else's territory.

Hua Baixian turned to Gu Liyan's side and looked at the cute little fox with concern. "Little fox, how is your injury?"

Gu Liyan opened his eyes reluctantly, as if complaining that Hua Baixian had disturbed his afternoon nap.

"Come here, let me check you out." Hua Baixian ignored Gu Liyan's displeased look and turned him over as she spoke.

"Ouch!" Gu Liyan immediately rolled over and jumped up, hurriedly getting off the bed and moving away from Hua Baixian, letting out a disgusted roar.

Hua Baixian couldn't help but laugh as she said, "Why are you running?! I'm not going to throw you away, I'm just checking your wounds!"

"Awoooooo—Awoooooo!" Gu Liyan said in a serious tone: You little brat, don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?!

Hua Baixian glanced at Gu Liyan's bewildered expression, then put her hands on her hips and said, "Dare you say something I can understand!"

Gu Liyan rolled her eyes: You can't understand me, is that my fault?

Hua Baixian pointed at Gu Liyan and said domineeringly, "No matter what you say, you must listen to me on my turf!"

After saying that, she took advantage of Gu Liyan's inattention and hugged him tightly.

"Awooooo—"

Gu Liyan struggled, but Hua Baixian only held him tighter and scolded, "Don't move! Be a good boy!"

Gu Liyan's face turned completely red. He, a nine-tailed fox who had cultivated for a thousand years, had actually been... examined by a little girl!

Just as Hua Baixian was about to put Gu Liyan down, she suddenly noticed his clear purple eyes. For a moment, she seemed to see the figure of the white-robed youth in his eyes, and she was stunned.

Seeing her stunned, Gu Liyan took the opportunity to break free from her embrace and jumped out of the window—and ran away!

Hua Baixian stomped her feet angrily, "You stinky fox, your injuries haven't healed yet, why are you running away!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan was so frightened that she didn't even turn her head.

Having escaped Hua Baixian's clutches, Gu Liyan jumped directly onto the outer wall. Seeing that no one was around, he transformed into human form and wiped away his sweat, feeling a wave of lingering fear. "If this girl had given me any more random medicine, I would have been done for!"

Looking at the sky and earth connected to the Hua Mansion, he sighed, "The Heavenly Palace is still a bit lacking in the freedom I yearn for, but if there were really no constraints and no war, all of this would be alright."

Gu Liyan took out a jade flute from his bosom, took a deep breath, and smiled like the wind, "Things have changed, people have changed, but this flute and this music remain the same, that's enough!"

A mournful farewell song plays softly.

At this moment, Hua Baixian, who was about to go out to find Gu Liyan, was deeply attracted by the sound of the flute.

Naqu carries a sense of sorrow and desolation.

That tune carried longing and anticipation.

Such awe-inspiring presence permeates the soul—

A gentle breeze, fragrant flowers, the music ends but the people remain—this is the most beautiful thing in the world.

Hua Baixian raised her head, her beautiful face now streaked with tears. "Huh? Strange..."

Hua Baixian wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I... how could I..."

The intense sadness in my heart felt like the impending loss of something most precious...

Suddenly, the scene darkened, and he involuntarily looked up, his pupils contracting sharply—

Suddenly, a dark vortex appeared in the sky and descended upon the Heavenly Palace!

Not only Hua Baixian, but everyone in the Heavenly Palace witnessed this scene.

Both the Eight Directions Divine Temple and the Four Domains Imperial Pavilion were shrouded in this dark vortex...

“This is…” Gu Liyan looked at the sky and couldn’t help but tremble.

Three hundred years ago, a similar scene appeared above Thousand Absolute Mountain. Demons descended from the sky and slaughtered Thousand Absolute Mountain, burning its ten thousand years of prosperity to ashes overnight!

Gu Liyan's hands, which were tightly gripping the jade flute, began to turn white and bloodless.

Seeing the dark vortex in the sky, he panicked, "What, what is that...?"

A gust of wind swept by, and Hua Baixian couldn't help but squint her eyes—

The wind stopped, but the fragrance of the flowers remained. When she could see clearly what was in front of her, she found that the white-clad boy she had been longing for was standing there.
