Chapter 12 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (18)
At this moment, the crystal ball suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful force blew us away.
"Oh no! They are going to destroy the evidence!" Liang Xu cried out and struggled to stand up.
However, an even more powerful force erupted from the crystal ball, locking us firmly in place.
The light of the crystal ball became brighter and brighter, as if it was about to swallow up the entire palace...
"Feng Ziang..." Liang Xu's voice rang in my ears, with a hint of despair and reluctance.
I held his hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, my heart filled with reluctance and fear.
Are we going to die here?
At this critical moment, I suddenly remembered the special magic weapon I got from my previous investigation...
I took it out without hesitation and combined it with Liang Xu's magic power...
Dazzling light filled the entire palace, and a powerful force swept over...
"Hurry up..." I shouted, holding Liang Xu's hand, and ran towards the palace exit...
Behind him, there was a loud and earth-shattering noise...
We escaped from the collapsed underground palace and returned to the surface with the rubbings of evidence and covered in dust.
The sunlight was blinding and I squinted my eyes, as if I had just woken up from a nightmare.
Liang Xu's face was still pale, but he held my hand tightly, giving me strength.
Back to the world of immortal cultivation, we will present the evidence to everyone.
At first, they didn't believe it and even suspected that we were colluding with the demon world.
However, the evidence was irrefutable and they could not deny it.
The elders' expressions changed from shock to anger, and then to solemnity.
The world of immortal cultivation was in turmoil, and the originally tense atmosphere was replaced by a feeling of common hatred against the enemy.
In the demon world, Liang Xu announced the truth as the Demon King, which also caused a huge shock.
The two worlds quickly reached a consensus and united to fight against this evil organization hiding in the dark.
I became a key figure connecting the two worlds, and my psychic perception ability played a crucial role in this operation.
We fought side by side, uncovered the conspirators one by one, and ultimately uprooted this evil organization.
At that moment, I stood in the middle of the battlefield, watching people from both worlds cheering and celebrating, with mixed emotions in my heart.
Liang Xu and I stood side by side, accepting the cheers from the crowd.
I clearly saw some young cultivators and demons looking at us.
However, amid the cheers, I could still feel some cold gazes.
The immortal cultivators and demon elders from the older generation had mixed expressions on their faces, some were shocked, some were confused, but mostly they were disapproving.
They may have recognized my achievements, but they could not accept my relationship with Liang Xu.
When I returned to the world of immortal cultivation, I was hailed as a hero, but at the same time I was under tremendous pressure.
Those voices of opposition are like a thorn in the flesh that cannot be wiped away.
As I walked on the street, I could feel those strange looks and hear those whispers.
"He is with the Demon King..."
"It's really offensive..."
"How can such a person deserve the title of hero..."
I remained silent and swallowed these words one by one.
Liang Xu was not much better off. In the demon world, he was facing the same dilemma.
There seemed to be an unbridgeable gap between us.
One night, I stood on the edge of a cliff, looking at the mountains in the distance, my heart filled with confusion.
Liang Xu walked over to me and gently held me in his arms.
"Feng Ziang..." His voice was low and hoarse.
I didn't say anything, but just buried my head in his chest, feeling his warm body temperature.
"We..." He paused, as if hesitating about something.
I raised my head, looked into his deep eyes, and waited for his next words.
"We..." He started to speak again, but paused, his eyes falling on my hands.
I still wear the black bracelet he woven by hand, and at this moment, it is emitting a faint red light...
"Let's leave here." Liang Xu's voice was very soft, but it exploded in my ears like thunder.
Leave?
Leave here, leave the world of immortal cultivation, leave everything?
This thought grew like a weed and instantly occupied my mind.
I held his hand tightly, my knuckles turned white and beads of sweat appeared on my palms, as if I had grasped the last straw.
"Where are you going?" My voice was hoarse and my throat was dry as if I had swallowed sand.
"Anywhere is fine, as long as we are together." Liang Xu's eyes were firm and deep like the night sky, as if he wanted to suck me in.
I looked at him, and an indescribable sadness welled up in my heart.
How could I not want to leave with him, escape from this world full of hostility and prejudice, go to a place where no one knows us, and start over.
But, my master, my fellow apprentices, and those partners who once fought side by side with me...
How should I face them?
"We can't..." I uttered these words with difficulty, my heart aching.
Liang Xu's hand trembled slightly, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little, but he still held my hand tightly and did not let go.
"I know..." His voice was low, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness, "I know you can't let go of them, and you can't let go of everything here..."
I was silent, my heart filled with contradictions and struggles.
"But, Feng Ziang," Liang Xu's voice rang out again, with a hint of determination, "We can't just give up like this, we can't let those sacrifices go to waste, we have to do something..."
He paused, looking at me with burning eyes, "For us, and for the future of both worlds..."
His words were like a bolt of lightning, breaking through the fog in my heart.
I raised my head, looked at his resolute face, and a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart.
"You're right," I took a deep breath and said firmly, "We can't give up, we have to do something..."
The next day, we started a new plan.
We traveled across the two worlds, helping those in need, whether they were cultivators or demons.
We rescue injured spirits and beasts, mediate disputes between the two worlds, and even risk our own lives to resolve crises.
Our actions gradually changed some people's views, and more and more people began to understand and support us.
However, deep-rooted prejudice and hatred cannot be eliminated overnight.
I know very well that this road is still long and we still have many difficulties to face.
But as long as we hold hands and fight side by side, we will be able to overcome everything.
"Feng Ziang," Liang Xu suddenly stopped and looked at me seriously, "Do you feel that..."
He stopped talking abruptly, and a sense of foreboding came over him...
I looked around; those questioning looks were like countless tiny needles pricking me, making me feel uncomfortable.
There was an indescribable feeling of oppression in the air, like the calm before a storm, and every breath became particularly heavy.
I tightly grasped the evidence in my hand; the cold touch seemed to ease the anxiety in my heart a little.
No, I can't wait passively like this any longer.
I must do something to break this suffocating situation and let those who slander me see my determination.
I took a deep breath and walked straight to the meeting room where the elders were.
