After her thoughtful deliberation in Hades' Palace, Chuchu's mind had calmed down. Her fear and uneasiness about the unknown had been replaced by a resolute resolve. She knew that as the future heir of the Underworld, she must remain calm and rational in order to lead her people through this difficult time. So, she quickly implemented a series of measures to strengthen the Underworld's defenses and deployed an elite team of spies to monitor subtle changes between the three realms around the clock, ensuring that any disturbances were promptly reported back to the Underworld for emergency response.
After leaving the Palace of Pluto, Chu Chu flashed and traveled to the boundary between the human world and the underworld. Her determined figure instantly blended into the hustle and bustle of the human world.
At the same time, according to the plan, Qingtian transformed into a Taoist priest, wearing a plain Taoist robe, holding a whisk, and revealing an extraordinary temperament between his eyebrows.
Song Yaqing, on the other hand, was driving her beloved car, smoothly shuttling through the night, with two companions in the car who were about to embark on an extraordinary journey.
Night had fallen when they arrived at the Lu residence, but Ren Jinting had already been waiting. Her eyes held both anxiety and a subtle glimmer of hope. Seeing Chuchu and Qingtian, she hurried forward, exchanged a few brief greetings, and then led them straight to Lu Chenguang's room.
In the room, Lu Chenguang's face was pale. He lay quietly on the bed with a frown on his face. It seemed that even breathing was extremely difficult.
Seeing this, Chu Chu felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she quickly adjusted her mood and whispered a few words softly in Lu Chenguang's ear.
After hearing this, the resistance in Lu Chenguang's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a faint trust and expectation.
Ren Jinting was very relieved. She didn't expect her son to not resist.
Qingtian was about to begin his performance. He closed his eyes, concentrated, and gently formed hand seals, muttering a low, rhythmic incantation that seemed to penetrate the barriers of time and space, summoning the purest power of heaven and earth. As the incantation continued, the faint light in the room began to converge, gradually forming circles of soft light that enveloped Lu Chenguang.
"This is the protection of the Three Pure Ones. The Six Jia gods will obey my command, exorcise evil, uphold justice, and protect my friends." Qingtian spoke in a deep voice, each word like a hammer striking the heart, instilling awe in the heart. He gently waved the whisk in the air, and suddenly, each silk thread seemed to come alive, shining brightly, weaving in the air into a complex and exquisite network of talismans.
As the talisman took shape, the aura in the room subtly shifted. A warm and powerful energy emanated from the talisman, slowly seeping into Lu Chenguang's body. Chu Chu and Ren Jinting watched with bated breath as Lu Chenguang's face gradually regained some color, his furrowed brow slowly relaxed, and even his breathing seemed to become much smoother.
"Next, I will guide the turbid air and disease in his body to be discharged." Then, he increased the strength of the spell, and at the same time used the Taoist's unique internal breathing method to guide the negative energy in Lu Chenguang's body to be discharged.
As time passed, the glow in the room grew increasingly dazzling, eventually converging into a single beam of intense light that shot straight into the sky, as if announcing to heaven and earth the success of the exorcism ritual. When the bright light dissipated, Lu Chenguang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with life and energy, as if he had been reborn.
"I... I feel much better." Lu Chenguang forced a smile and cooperated with the acting perfectly.
Ren Jinting's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. She quickly stepped forward and gently stroked Lu Chenguang's forehead with both hands. To confirm that it was no longer burning hot, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and her voice trembled a little: "Son, do you really feel better? That's great. Mom can finally let go of her worries."
Lu Chenguang nodded gently, his eyes revealing firmness and determination: "Well, Mom, I will take good care of myself. You guys go and rest first, Chuchu and I have something to talk about."
Ren Jinting hesitated for a moment, but was eventually pulled out of the room by Song Yaqing. Song Yaqing smiled and said to Ren Jinting, "Jinting, let's not make trouble here. The children have grown up and have their own world and secrets. Let's go downstairs for a cup of tea and a chat." Ren Jinting nodded helplessly and went downstairs with the two of them.
In the room, Chu Chu looked at Lu Chenguang, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She knew that as the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, Lu Chenguang shouldered a heavy responsibility and mission.
She spoke softly and recounted the story of the great war between demons, making every detail as clear as possible, hoping that Lu Chenguang could fully understand the current situation.
The two then set off back to the Demon Realm. Along the way, they discussed tactics, analyzed the strength comparison between the enemy and us, and the various situations they might encounter. Although Chu Chu's cultivation was not weak, she still chose to trust and rely on Lu Chenguang in front of him, because she knew that Lu Chenguang not only possessed great strength, but also possessed extraordinary wisdom and courage.
As they entered the Demon Realm, a familiar yet unfamiliar aura washed over them. The Demon Realm, considered a forbidden place by the world, was now brewing an unprecedented storm. Bai Ling, the powerful demon possessing the power of the nine-tailed fox, had been waiting there for a long time. Her eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions: hatred for Lu Chenguang and anticipation for the battle.
"Youming or Rong Lin? Why aren't you just cowards?" Bai Ling's voice was cold and harsh. She slowly stepped forward, her nine tails swaying gracefully in the air, emitting bursts of eerie light. "You think you can stop me just by coming back? What a joke!"
Lu Chenguang met Bai Ling's gaze and spoke calmly, "Bai Ling, let's put an end to the grudge between you and me today. But I want to tell you, I'm not here for personal grudges. I'm here for the peace of the Demon Realm and the balance of the six realms. No matter what the outcome of this battle, I will give it my all."
"Hmph, that's nice to say." Bai Ling sneered, "Then let me see how powerful your so-called all-out effort is!" After she finished speaking, she stretched out her body, and her nine tails attacked Lu Chenguang like nine spirit snakes, at an astonishing speed, with the power to tear open space.
Lu Chenguang moved his body and easily dodged Bai Ling's attack. Using the secret technique of the demon world, he mobilized the dark energy around him, forming a series of black barriers, which neutralized Bai Ling's attacks one by one.
"Bai Ling, I will make sure you die without a burial place today!" Lu Chenguang's voice echoed in the air!
Bai Ling paused for a moment, but soon resumed her attack. She knew she couldn't be swayed by Lu Chenguang's words.
Lu Chenguang was too powerful. No matter how she attacked, she could not completely defeat Lu Chenguang.
Chuchu watched the fight nervously from the side, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. Lu Chenguang was seriously injured and might not be a match for Bai Ling.
She was waiting for an opportunity to help Lu Chenguang.
