Pei Zhi felt a sharp pain, and then her neck was grabbed.
Pei Zhi tried to pry open the thing holding her neck with her hands, but it was magic that was gripping her neck, and Pei Zhi couldn't touch it at all.
Pei Zhi revealed a mask of pain, but could not utter a sound.
Sikong Ren, dressed in black with white hair and bloodshot eyes, stood before Pei Zhi.
"Why is it another hallucination?" Sikong Ren narrowed his eyes and gently stroked Pei Zhi's face. "This time, the hallucination feels a bit real."
Pei Zhi struggled desperately and kicked Sikong Ren hard.
Sikong Ren was kicked squarely and was a little caught off guard.
Pei Zhi then kicked Sikong Ren hard with all her might.
Sikong Ren waved his hand and caught Pei Zhi with both hands, calling out cautiously, "Pei Zhi?"
Pei Zhi coughed violently twice, and tasted blood in her throat.
"It's me."
Sikong Ren snapped his fingers, and the inner room was immediately brightly lit.
Pei Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly, and was stunned when she saw Sikong Ren's current appearance.
Sikong Ren seemed to remember something, and with a wave of his hand, the demonic markings on his face disappeared.
Pei Zhi was sure she wasn't seeing things. "You've turned into a demon?"
"Why are you here?" Sikong Ren avoided answering. "Were you injured just now? Where does it hurt?"
Pei Zhi grabbed Sikong Ren's hand, "Have you become a demon?"
"Have you eaten? I'll have someone get you something to eat."
Pei Zhi raised her voice and called out, "Sikong Ren."
Sikong Ren lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
With his white hair cascading down his back and his eyes bloodshot, coupled with the demonic markings from before, Sikong Ren was clearly acting strangely.
"I'm sorry," Sikong Ren said softly, "I practiced the secret technique that Wan Kui gave me."
Sikong Ren didn't explain to Pei Zhi; he had no choice, he was forced into it.
His inner core was shattered, and he didn't want to just wait to die.
He didn't want to be unable to save even his own woman.
He was only able to survive because Pei Zhi held a knife to his neck; only then could he escape.
Therefore, he couldn't just do nothing. Even if he knew it was a trap set by Wan Kui, he still had to fall into it.
"Don't worry," Sikong Ren reassured Pei Zhi. "I originally planned to absorb the power of the ancient tree once more before going to save you."
"After I place you in the Demon Realm, I will offer a sacrifice to the ancient tree, and the next Demon Lord of the Demon Realm will be born."
“I will not be driven by Wan Kui. The next Demon Lord will protect you.”
Pei Zhi said nothing, but simply reached out and hugged Sikong Ren tightly.
Sikong Ren knew that, given Pei Zhi's personality, she must be absolutely furious with Wan Kui for scheming against her.
Consequently, Pei Zhi might come to dislike him after he becomes demonized.
But he didn't expect Pei Zhi to give him a passionate hug.
Sikong Ren carefully reached out and hugged Pei Zhi in his arms.
Sikong Ren thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I won't go after Zhong Changyuan."
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhi burst into laughter. "You should go and settle the score with him. At least give him a good beating to vent your anger."
Sikong Ren thought that Pei Zhi hugged him because she didn't want him to cause trouble for Zhong Changyuan.
Pei Zhi blinked her watery eyes and said, "You've worked hard."
Pei Zhi felt sorry for Sikong Ren. Even though Sikong Ren was forced into this situation, he still managed to arrange everything afterward.
Sikong Ren shook his head, then suddenly remembered something, and a box appeared in his palm.
"for you."
Pei Zhi took the box: "What?"
Sikong Ren said mysteriously, "You'll know once you open it."
Pei Zhi opened the box, inside was a crystal-clear pill, which looked a lot like a golden pill, but not quite.
Where can one retrieve a cultivator's golden core?
"This is a golden pill I refined using my inner core. After you consume it, you will possess the cultivation level of a golden core and will be able to continue cultivating in the future."
Sikong Ren thought for a moment and added, "From now on, you can only cultivate the magic of the demon realm, because this is my inner core."
Pei Zhi stared blankly at the pill; Sikong Ren had actually taken out his own inner core for her sake.
"In this way, after I sacrifice the ancient tree, you will have an inner core and will be able to continue living well."
Sikong Ren had truly arranged everything for his funeral.
Pei Zhi lowered her head and blinked desperately to stop her tears from falling.
"You gave me your inner core, are you alright?"
Sikong Ren explained, "The inner core was already broken, so it's useless for me to keep it. I might as well give it to you to use."
Even if the demon core of a thousand-year-old demon is broken, its power is still extraordinary. Moreover, Sikong Ren is the king of demons.
“Okay.” Pei Zhi nodded. “You’ve thought of everything. Thank you so much.”
"After you die, I will stay in the demon realm. The next demon lord should treat me well. As for me, I have nothing to do, so I will keep a few, a dozen or so male concubines."
Pei Zhi seemed to remember something, "Those rabbit-like men in the brothels of the Demon Market, I think they're quite nice. After you leave, I'll have them all come and serve me alone, what do you think?"
Sikong Ren's face was tense, and he didn't say anything, but he was clearly unhappy.
Seeing that Sikong Ren remained silent, Pei Zhi continued to provoke him: "Your treasure vault shouldn't have changed, right? I'll still need these to support my male lovers in the future."
Pei Zhi's words are truly outrageous.
After Sikong Ren's death, she actually said that she would use Sikong Ren's property to support men. No one could say such a cruel thing.
"I won't allow it," Sikong Ren said through gritted teeth. "I'll go and kill those rabbit men right now."
Seeing that something was wrong, Pei Zhi quickly grabbed Sikong Ren's hand.
Seeing the demonic energy emanating from Sikong Ren's body, Pei Zhi's heart sank to the bottom.
If things continue like this, Sikong Ren won't be able to hold out for long.
If Sikong Ren is truly corrupted to the point of losing his mind, then things will really get complicated.
Pei Zhi grabbed Sikong Ren's hand, "Forget about the rabbit man, you can go kill someone else first."
Sikong Ren raised an eyebrow curiously: "Kill whom?"
Although Pei Zhi always said that she had a bad temper and was vindictive, Si Kongren always thought that Pei Zhi was too kind.
Pei Zhi only gave those who upset her a minor punishment, never going to the extreme.
This was the first time Sikong Ren had heard Pei Zhi say who he was going to kill.
Still using that tone of deep hatred.
Pei Zhi said angrily, "Kill one, the culprit!"
Kill one, harm her, and also those who have fallen to this state, including Sikong Ren.
Pei Zhi could not quell his hatred without killing him.
The killing must be done quickly; it cannot be delayed any longer.
Wan Kui is the biggest villain in this world, and even if Wan Kui dies, he won't cause too much trouble for this world.
The demons reside in the Demon Realm. After Wan Kui's death, even if the cultivation world wanted to unify the Demon Realm, they would be unable to do so.
After Sikong Ren kills Wan Kui, Pei Zhi will bring Sikong Ren back to offer sacrifices to the ancient tree.
The demon realm is busy welcoming the next demon lord and has no time to deal with the turmoil in the demon world.
So, Wan Kui, wash your neck clean and prepare to die.
