After Meng Ji's figure disappeared, the Demon Lord stopped what he was doing, and Nan Guangyu's withered body regained its plumpness.
The two looked at each other expressionlessly. The next moment, Nan Guangyu transformed into a beam of light and floated into the Demon Lord's body, and the two merged back into one.
Nan Guangyu instantly obtained everything that happened after his main body left the capital.
Not long after his main body transformed into a little white rabbit and left that day, his clone, Nan Guangyu, woke up.
As soon as Nan Guangyu woke up, he framed Meng Ji and Qing Wu for colluding with the demons and using the Yaoqing Divine Herb to lure the goddess into a trap they had carefully prepared.
Meng Ji and Qing Wu naturally denied it vehemently.
However, Yingzhao, after regaining consciousness, also said that she had sensed Qingwu's presence more than once in her dreams.
Yingzhao is a divine beast that loyally followed the priest during the war between gods and demons ten years ago. It possesses extraordinary divine power and has shielded the priest from swords and bullets several times. There is no way it is lying.
Coupled with the fact that Nan Guangyu's wounds exuded a faint demonic aura, most of the priest's men believed his story.
Meng Ji was speechless and unable to defend himself.
Seeing that even the priest was scrutinizing him, Meng Ji made a snap decision and immediately distanced himself from Qingwu, saying that he only went there because Qingwu said there was Yaoqing Grass there, and that he knew nothing else.
Qingwu stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Mengji, what do you mean?! I only went to find that Yaoqing Grass for you because you said you wanted it, how could you do this to me..."
Meng Ji didn't even glance at her before kneeling down in front of the priest with a thud: "Father, I have something else to report."
"explain."
The priest's scrutiny intensified.
Meng Ji: "Originally, I could have saved the goddess... It was Qingwu who grabbed the goddess's clothes and even pushed her into the demonic energy. I was worried because Qingwu and I are of the same clan, so I didn't report this to the priest immediately... Father, Qingwu must have been bewitched. Please be lenient with her!"
“Father,” Yingzhao remembered, “Although I was possessed by demonic energy at the time, I clearly remember that Qingwu did push the goddess.”
Qingwu was stunned; she hadn't expected Meng Ji to be so ruthless.
Then, he crawled toward the priest like a madman.
"Father! Meng Ji's approach to the goddess has ulterior motives. He deliberately lured her to the Abyss..."
"I first met the goddess through Lord Bai Ze's introduction!"
Meng Ji looked at Qing Wu with a cold gaze.
Everyone knew this, and only then did Qingwu understand why he hadn't stopped him from saying it.
"So, it turns out I was just a pawn in your game..."
Qingwu was disheartened and closed his eyes, no longer speaking.
With two witnesses, Qingwu was imprisoned and awaited the goddess's return for further judgment.
Meng Ji knew this was not enough to dispel the priest's doubts, so he volunteered to be an envoy to deliver a message to the demons.
In the minds of all the gods, the demons were ruthless killers with no credibility whatsoever.
Although the two races are supposed to refrain from killing envoys during wartime, it's hard to guarantee that the demons won't become bloodthirsty.
As soon as Meng Ji said this, the divine soldiers and generals under the priest looked at him with approval.
He was also in charge of negotiating with the demons afterwards.
His level was insufficient to meet the Demon Lord, and Nan Guangyu's clone was far away in the capital, so he naturally did not realize that the person who came was Meng Ji.
If he had known it was Meng Ji earlier, he would have killed him long ago to clear the way for himself.
It's not that Meng Ji can't be killed now, but Meng Ji has pushed "Nan Guangyu" towards the "Demon Lord"...
And it was in front of the goddess.
Nan Guangyu touched the Yaoqing Grass in his arms, his expression becoming playful.
......
Protoss.
Chu Xinxin was awakened by a pain in the back of her neck.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Mengji.
Chu Xinxin was in a daze for a moment, then remembered the scene she saw before she fainted, and immediately sat up and shouted: "Xiao Yu!"
Meng Ji's face showed regret: "Goddess, Yu Shenshi died at the hands of the Demon Lord in order to save you."
After saying that, he reached out to touch Chu Xinxin's face.
Chu Xinxin slapped his hand away hard: "You pushed him there!"
Meng Ji seemed to have heard something funny, and even laughed out loud: "Goddess, you are so heartbroken that you are hallucinating."
Chu Xinxin didn't have time to play along with his act.
She pushed him away and went outside.
Meng Ji activated his incantation: "Goddess, come back."
Chu Xinxin continued walking out.
The pendant offered protection, but the incantation technique was useless against Chu Xinxin.
Meng Jixin's heart sank.
The goddess saw him push Nan Guangyu toward the Demon Lord...
We absolutely cannot let her leave this door!
Meng Ji blocked the doorway: "Goddess, where are you going?"
"Get out of my way!"
Chu Xinxin struck Meng Ji with a palm strike, and Meng Ji instantly flew away into the distance like a kite with a broken string.
"Holy crap? When did I become so powerful?"
Chu Xinxin looked at her hand in disbelief, the ring on her ring finger faintly reflecting light.
I can't worry about that anymore.
Chu Xinxin quickly went out.
This is a town of gods. Chu Xinxin wanted to go to the front line, but the guards behind the city gate wouldn't let her through.
“Goddess, this is the priest’s order.”
The guard explained that the priest had set up a barrier around the town, and the entire town was now inaccessible until the priest returned.
Chu Xin wanted to force her way in, but her hand was grabbed.
I turned around and saw Meng Ji.
"Goddess, stop fooling around! A demon spy has infiltrated. It's dangerous. Let's go back first."
Outside, Meng Ji still acted humble and submissive, which, in the eyes of others, made it seem like Miss Chu Xinxin was being unreasonable and lacking manners.
"Yes, Goddess, you should go back with Lord Mengji."
"Goddess, don't be temperamental."
"goddess......"
More and more people surrounded and trapped Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin understood from this situation that the small town was under Meng Ji's control.
Chu Xinxin was partly coerced and partly had no choice but to return to the small courtyard.
As he closed the door, Meng Ji approached step by step: "Goddess, tell me what's wrong with this place, and I'll fix it."
Meng Ji spoke as if he were admitting his mistake, but his eyes were fixed coldly on Chu Xinxin, making it seem more like an interrogation.
Chu Xinxin felt the oppressive aura of the incantation technique again...
And divine power no less than Yingzhao's!
The system immediately cut off the connection.
Chu Xinxin didn't answer, her fingers stroking the ring as if she were considering her chances of winning if she were to fight Meng Ji.
Meng Ji observed her carefully.
Suddenly, Chu Xinxin smiled sweetly and stepped forward to take Meng Ji's arm.
"Mengji, what just happened to me?"
Chu Xinxin blinked, looking incredibly obedient: "Why do I feel like you're really angry?"
Meng Ji probed, "Goddess, don't you remember?"
"Remember what?" Chu Xinxin was a little confused, then, as if remembering something, she patted her head: "Meng Ji, I was captured and taken to the Demon Clan, and then, and then you saved me..."
Where is Nan Guangyu?
"Xiao Yu?" Chu Xinxin looked sad, her voice trembling with tears: "Xiao Yu died at the hands of the Demon Lord while trying to save me."
"The goddess just said that it was I who pushed the Divine Servant Yu..."
Chu Xinxin hugged Meng Ji tightly: "Meng Ji isn't that kind of person, Meng Ji has..."
What is it?
"It has a six-pointed star..."
The six-pointed star is the goddess's secret. Meng Ji had previously tried to get the goddess to reveal other information about the six-pointed star to prevent the secret from being exposed.
Unexpectedly, when he brought up the matter, the goddess not only fell silent, but also showed signs of breaking free from the control of the incantation technique.
Now the goddess spoke out without any warning.
Meng Ji finally felt relieved.
