Yaoyue covered her face, looking at Chengyuan with disbelief: "Big cousin, why did you hit me?"
Cheng Yuan's back teeth clenched, and his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito. He couldn't understand why the God of War would bring her here to embarrass herself, and he also wanted to know what had happened to her in the mortal realm, but now was really not the right time to ask.
He yanked her away from the phantom and pushed her into the arms of a female fairy behind her, ordering, "Keep an eye on her."
Di Xiu glanced at Yao Yue, who was causing a ruckus and was under a spell, then looked at the demon elders with an unfriendly expression. After scoffing, he swept his divine sense fiercely and arrogantly across the entire demon realm.
All the elders were dissatisfied, but they couldn't help but feel terrified. The most active purple-robed elder suddenly fell to the ground, his legs trembling. His eyes were filled with fear, and he could no longer show any disrespect.
Wuji chuckled, quite pleased with himself.
Emperor Xiu could not possibly find a demon more powerful than these elders in this demon realm, and no one knew Ming Wuqiu's whereabouts better than him.
However, on his face, he seemed to be laughing in extreme anger: "Very well, very well. I thought your Demon Realm was full of talented people, but I didn't expect the Demon Lord to take action personally. Does your Demon Clan intend to emulate the Twelve Demon Gods of the past..."
"Your Majesty!" The elder who had been speaking at the front hurriedly called out, closed his eyes, and secretly resented Di Xiu for being unreasonable. He also blamed Ming Wuqiu for being incompetent, failing to harm Di Xiu at such a good opportunity and instead getting himself into trouble.
He gritted his teeth and resisted the overwhelming force, saying with utmost respect, "We do not know the Demon Realm, nor do we know when Ming Wuqiu left, or even that he attempted to assassinate you. The Six Realms have been at peace for a long time, and our Demon Realm has absolutely no intention of stirring up chaos again."
Di Xiu chuckled, his voice full of sarcasm, then looked at Yao Yue and removed the restraints from her body: "Yao Yue, when did you meet that A Qiu?"
“Brother Xiu, A Qiu could never be the Demon Lord. He’s just an ordinary mortal.”
Cheng Yuan took a deep breath and replied to Di Xiu on her behalf: "Divine Lord, she left the Immortal Realm twenty-two years ago and returned half a year ago."
Yao Yue immediately grasped at a straw and said, "When I met A Qiu, he was not even ten years old. How could he be the Demon Lord?"
Di Xiu pointed at the phantom: "Is he Ah Qiu?"
Yao Yue nodded without hesitation, looking at Huan Ying with tender affection: "The sachet at his waist was embroidered by me, stitch by stitch."
All the immortals felt a toothache and desperately wanted to pry open her head to see what was inside. They'd already said it was an assassin who tried to kill the God of War, and most likely a Demon Lord, yet you insisted on emphasizing that he was some kind of assassin.
With Xia Xueqing as a reference, Di Xiu was already able to predict Yao Yue's behavior quite well, so he was not surprised at all. However, he couldn't help but feel sad that someone as capable as Yuan and Fu Lian (Yao Yue's mother) could give birth to such a thing.
He loathed Yao Yue for conspiring with Ming Wuqiu to harm him and betray the Immortal Realm, but out of consideration for her parents' past relationship, he still decided to give her a chance.
If she can come to her senses, this farce can be considered a trick by Ming Wuqiu; if she remains obstinate, with the many immortals and demons present as witnesses, the immortal realm can no longer keep her.
—In the end, it was all for naught.
Yao Yue suddenly trembled, looking at Di Xiu with eyes full of fear: "Brother Xiu, so A Qiu isn't dead, right? It was you, it was you who killed A Qiu?"
As she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with hatred.
Cheng Yuan could no longer bear it. He raised his hand and used a burst of immortal power to knock her unconscious. He wondered to himself, "Is this really my aunt's daughter?"
Di Xiu raised his hand and pinched his brow, as if he had a headache.
After putting his hand down, he said to the demon elder who wanted to watch the show but dared not, "Ming Wuqiu deliberately approached the fairy Yaoyue of the immortal clan and controlled her mind first. I suspect that he wanted to obtain information about the immortal realm. Then he ambushed me. The demon clan must give an explanation for this matter."
The demon elders could only nod bitterly.
Emperor Xiu turned and left. Just as the demon elders were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a huge roar suddenly sounded behind them.
It was as if the pillars of heaven had collapsed, the highest mountain had sunk, and the most magnificent palace had fallen.
Seeing demons flying out of the Demon Palace one after another, the elders couldn't even muster up anger. They thought to themselves, "Is this the power of the gods that can rival the demon gods?"
As soon as Cheng Yuan left the Demon Realm, he telepathically informed the Immortal Emperor of what had happened. The Immortal Emperor immediately felt that he had already lost all face without even leaving his home.
They had barely returned to the Celestial Realm when a Celestial Attendant came to deliver a message that the Celestial Emperor wished to see them.
Cheng Yuan showed the recording stone to the Immortal Emperor before waking Yao Yue up. When she saw him, she looked like she was ready to fight to the death.
"Yaoyue".
When Yaoyue saw her uncle, she burst into tears, crying, "Uncle, they killed the most important person to me, and they bullied me."
Immortal Emperor: "..."
Yao Yue turned her gaze to the Emperor Xiu next to the Immortal Emperor, and her eyes reddened even more: "Brother Xiu, I hate you. I never want to see you again. I will never, ever forgive you."
Emperor Xiu: "..." This sounds so familiar.
The Immortal Emperor said with a heavy heart, "Yaoyue, of all people you could love, you had to fall for the Demon Lord. Have you forgotten how your mother died?"
Yaoyue retorted, "I know my mother was killed by someone sent by the Demon God, but what does that have to do with Aqiu?"
Emperor Xiu's gaze was icy, and even the Immortal Emperor's heart froze.
"Are you going to betray the Immortal Realm for Ming Wuqiu?" The Immortal Emperor spoke each word slowly and deliberately, as if blood were seeping from between his teeth. This was the child his sister had risked her life to protect; how could he have grown up like this?
Demons are born from the human heart, and this is the end that all races can choose. Therefore, the demon realm cannot be completely eliminated. After the death of the demon god, the chaos in the six realms will end, and can only end. However, the other five realms will absolutely not tolerate anyone colluding with the people of the demon realm.
Yao Yue was stunned, and said urgently, "I did not betray the Immortal Realm. It was clearly Brother Xiu who killed A Qiu. Brother Xiu was unreasonable and unforgiving. He was wrong, I was not wrong."
"So, you think it was right for Ming Wuqiu to attempt to murder the God of War?"
"No, no, Ah Qiu didn't succeed! Brother Xiu wasn't hurt at all..."
"Enough!" The Immortal Emperor was furious, looking at her with disappointment.
An immortal said indignantly, "Now that it has been confirmed that Fairy Yaoyue was not controlled by the demons and that her words and actions were her own, in order to prevent future troubles, I request that the Immortal Emperor deal with her in accordance with the third law of the Immortal Law."
"Please, Immortal Emperor, handle this according to the Immortal Laws," the other immortals echoed.
The Immortal Emperor closed his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he brought all the power and rules of the Immortal Realm under his control.
A huge and dazzling scroll appeared from the sky. All the immortals stopped what they were doing, closed their eyes to listen, and then looked astonished.
Yaoyue felt the immortal power within her body disappear and collapsed to the ground in despair.
A celestial general appeared and took her away. She shook her head and struggled, but her gaze fell on the bracelet on her wrist, and hope suddenly rose again.
A string of bells appeared, but as she reached out to catch it, it suddenly turned to dust, and in the next instant, the entire bracelet shattered into pieces.
Her eyes widened in resentment and despair as she glanced at Di Xiu, who had remained seated steadily on the platform the entire time, before being escorted to the Execution Platform.
