The battle at the boundary marker went awry. The Rubik's Cube suddenly summoned numerous powerful demons, their evil aura overflowing. The fifteen immortals fought with all their might, barely managing to save the remaining heavenly soldiers. The heavenly realm retreated again and again.
The Jade Emperor spent his days in the palace discussing countermeasures with the high-ranking immortals of the Nine Heavens. The sudden appearance of powerful demons in the Demon Realm, which he was unaware of, and their considerable numbers, made him suspect that the Demon Realm had other tricks up its sleeve.
Given the Demon Realm's consistent ambition, this move is undoubtedly aimed at initiating a war, and a war between the two realms is certainly not what it wants to see.
Just as everyone in the Nine Heavens was racking their brains trying to come up with a strategy, a high-ranking immortal from the front lines returned, bringing news that baffled them all.
The demon realm retreated. The powerful demons that had suddenly appeared were the first to withdraw, followed by the dark, swarming demon army, which returned to the boundary marker like the receding tide and disappeared without a trace.
The Jade Emperor couldn't figure out why they would retreat after gaining the upper hand. "What happened?"
The immortal who had rushed back from the front lines overnight remembered the words left by a great demon before he left, and told them to everyone exactly as they were.
Si Ming tapped his index finger on the table, seemingly lost in thought. "So, it was the sudden intervention of the High God Shu Yun that shocked the Demon Realm?"
A few days ago, Feng Ziyi was also sent back intact, and he is now recuperating in his father's palace.
When the Supreme God went to the Demon Realm, he carried the divine artifact Tai'a. With his divine power, he swept directly onto the Demon Realm's main city. Not long after, Feng Ziyi, who had been kidnapped, was returned. Now, even the Demon Army, which had been riding high, has retreated. He can't think of any other reason other than the Supreme God.
Zi'e waited in Penglai for more than half a month without seeing her god return. Even though the god was exceptionally powerful, she couldn't sit still any longer. Just as she was about to gather everyone in Penglai to go to the Demon Realm to investigate, the god sent a message.
A camellia petal, carried by the distant wind, fell from the far-off demon realm into Penglai, then drifted into the palace through the carved window lattice, floating in front of the purple calyx.
Purple Calyx cried out urgently to the camellia petal, "Goddess!"
But there was still no sound from the other side. Zi'e pinched the petals and turned them over and over, thinking that the petals were damaged.
After a long pause, Shu Yun's voice finally came through, "I'm fine."
Zi'e finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Where are you, High God? Are you in trouble? Should I send some people to help you?"
There was another silence on the other end, which made Zi'e uneasy.
"do what?"
Shu Yun shook off Jiang Yan's hand, her usually cool and composed face showing annoyance.
Jiang Yan stubbornly insisted on moving closer, the delicate shackles in his hands making a crisp, clear sound with his movements. "I'm withdrawing from the army. Master must keep his promise and grant my request."
Like the Tai'a, the Linglong Shackles are ancient artifacts. However, the Tai'a was a weapon bestowed by the goddess Nuwa, the creator goddess, while the Linglong Shackles were used to punish deities who had made mistakes. Deities bound by the Linglong Shackles could not mobilize their divine power and could only obediently accept their punishment.
She had thought things through too simply; who knew that Jiang Yan's request was for her to wear the Linglong Shackles?
“This is an exquisite shackle.” Shu Yun frowned. “If I wear it, I won’t be able to use any divine power at all.”
Knowing what she was thinking, Jiang Yan explained gently, "Ancient artifacts are not so easy to find. This exquisite shackle is already damaged. If Master wears it, at most half of his divine power will be sealed."
Looking at Jiang Yan standing in front of her, holding the exquisite shackles and determined to put them on her, Shu Yun felt helpless. "Are you afraid I'll run away? Since I promised you, I won't run away."
“I don’t believe it,” Jiang Yan said patiently, his long, slender fingers arranging the tassels on the exquisite shackles. “Master has lied to me too many times.”
