Chapter 129 Completely Possessed by Demons
The old ancestor was determined to die.
—She can roam freely in the heavens.
Duan Jiuyou felt a sharp pain in his heart.
This was the first time she had felt her parents' love for her, and she wanted to tell her father not to go, because if he went, he would never come back.
I also wanted to tell him that the heavens are lonely, and even if a child who has lost his parents roams the world, he still cannot find his roots.
At the same time, I was puzzled. If the gods were inhumane and Jiang Zhan was hypocritical, how could my father, with his wisdom, have been so open about that great battle?
She couldn't believe he would be so blindly loyal, nor could she believe he couldn't see through the gods' schemes. As if sensing her doubts, Han Ling casually turned the page, revealing a hidden scene—
Above the Heavenly Cloud Palace.
Emperor Jiang Zhan sat high on the throne, with thirty-two celestial ministers presenting the best plan to kill the demon half an hour ago. However, this method went against benevolence and morality, so Jiang Zhan had not yet made a decision.
The windows and doors inside the hall were tightly closed, and the light was dim. Incense burned in the auspicious beast incense burner, and Jiang Zhan's face was hidden in a wisp of smoke, making him appear even more gloomy.
"If the Divine Lock loses control of the fierce Ling, will you cut off the giant turtle's legs to form a battle formation? Do you know how many great contributions Chen Zhang has made to the Heavenly Realm? The immortals worship him as a god, and his reputation is even higher than that of the gods, higher than that of this sovereign. If people knew this, how would they view my Heavenly Realm court?"
The gods immediately offered a plan: "Simply lead the final battle to the bottom of the sea, where only we and the Emperor will be present, and no one else will know. Then, announce to the world that Duan Chenzhang has been corrupted by Han Ling and removed from the immortal register, leaving no record in future generations. Who will remember that Duan Chenzhang ever existed?"
"But he did lose a painless bone for me after all."
Jiang Zhan hesitated, as if he was waiting for someone to persuade him to make up his mind.
The gods all spoke up to offer advice.
"That is also his duty as a subject. Now that a formidable enemy is at hand, I urge Your Majesty to prioritize the safety of the Three Realms!"
"Moreover, Duan Chenzhang has always been arrogant and domineering. Relying on his immortality, he doesn't even put the Emperor in his eyes."
"And he only had one life left, so it would be a fitting death for him to use it to kill the demon."
"We just need to bring it to the bottom of the sea, and how future generations record it is up to us."
Duan Jiuyou stared at these people through the Heavenly Mirror. Their words were fierce, their faces were distorted, and they almost looked like demons.
She had a bad feeling, as if a voice in her heart was reminding her: these images are illusions. If the gods had cultivated for many years, how could they have attained godhood if they harbored evil intentions?
Then I heard someone say: "There aren't that many illusions; you just won't admit it. The Heavenly Mirror cannot be faked; there is nothing more real than it!"
What exactly is truth?
What exactly is an illusion?
The two voices merged into one, eventually converging into Jiang Zhan's words: "Since that's the case, this is the only decision we have. However, everyone must still do their best to use the Divine Lock as an array, unless absolutely necessary..."
This was not a last resort; it was clearly premeditated!
Five days later, the war between gods and demons began. The father donned his armor and went into battle as the vanguard. The mother, about to give birth, watched her father leave with reluctance. The battle at the bottom of the sea was repeated. There were no twists and turns, no one was innocent, only bloody facts!
Including the emperors after him!
He still chose the path of ruthlessness, choosing to betray them and conceal the truth in order to gain greater divine power!
He's gone mad, everyone in the entire Heavenly Realm is insane!
On the day Han Ling was killed, they raised their glasses in celebration. In the Cloud Palace, weren't those excited and triumphant faces another kind of chaotic demonic dance? They were the most ruthless demons in this world!
Han Ling had been watching Duan Jiuyou's expression, and as soon as he saw the demonic energy appear in her eyes, he immediately activated his demonic spirit to penetrate her heart!
He sent half of the demon god into Duan Jiuyou's body. Duan Jiuyou shuddered in pain, and then his entire pupils turned red, the blood color washing over him, his hatred surging!
She's completely obsessed.
Han Ling was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"It took so much effort to get you to believe me, it really wasn't easy. Now it's up to you, Ancestor Ao Zong."
...
After a short while, Da Qi Ao Zong broke through the Dragon Breath Barrier and headed straight for the Tian Sheng Nine Divisions' military camp. The defending generals hurriedly went to meet him, but they were no match for Ao Zong. The four elders of the Dragon Clan and the immortal ministers rushed to his aid, both shocked and furious.
"Duan Jiuyou! How can you, a high-ranking official of Tiansheng, attack your own military camp? Are you trying to rebel?!"
Some people suspect that she has defected to the Wilderness Clan.
"She is no longer the Heavenly Priestess. When she returned the official seal, she said she would no longer interfere in the affairs of the two races, but now it seems that was just a facade!"
The two races have been at peace for many days, but there is still no reasonable explanation. The soldiers of both races are ready to go. Duan Jiuyou's sudden attack on Tiansheng makes it hard not to misunderstand that she is on the side of the Demon Emperor.
Duan Jiuyou sat on the cloud chair, floating leisurely in the air. Facing the dragon clan's questioning, he coldly uttered only one word.
"kill."
She couldn't understand their talk of a war between two races, but she had only one thought in her mind: kill them all, resurrect Han Ling, and summon all the gods of the Thirty-Three Heavens to descend to the mortal realm!
The disciples of the Ao Sect obeyed the order and rushed towards the Dragon Clan.
The dragon clan ministers formed a shield by pressing their palms together, and the disciples of the Ao Sect charged through it with all their might, breaking through the formation directly!
The ministers were thrown to the ground, and within a short time, they were completely routed.
Ao Zong was strong and powerful; once a battle began, he was the sharpest blade in the world. His soldiers were retreating in defeat, and his ministers were too busy to help themselves. Just when they were in despair, two figures suddenly appeared on the wind. It was their own emperor and... ...Di Jiang?
The ministers looked puzzled, unsure whether to defend or attack. Bai Yanxing had no time to explain, and he and Di Jiang simultaneously formed a defensive barrier with their palms. Duan Jiuyou, who was in mid-air, suddenly turned his eyes and quickly manifested his Dharma form. The crimson demonic energy collided with the blue and white Dharma lights, and in the end, the blue and white ones gained the upper hand!
Duan Jiuyou transformed into human form and landed, his eyes fierce and ruthless. He reached behind him with his bare hand and pulled out a crescent-shaped blade, charging towards the barrier once more!
The imperial army marched forward, urgently summoning Jiuyou!
"You've been deceived by Han Ling! 9game!!"
Half an hour ago, Di Jiang and Bai Yanxing discovered an old turtle that had narrowly escaped death at Di'ao Mountain. It witnessed everything from the shadows when Han Ling and Zong Huang fought, and Di Jiang extracted the old turtle's memories. He originally intended to inform Duan Jiuyou immediately, but unexpectedly, she had been misled by Han Ling and led the turtle sect disciples to attack Dragon Breath Mountain.
In fact, the Emperor Zong's trip to Di'ao Mountain was not to "silence" them, but rather because he anticipated that Duan Jiuyou and his group would come seeking the truth, and deliberately left the Heavenly Breath Mirror as a guide.
Unexpectedly, Han Ling arrived here before them. The two started fighting, and the Heavenly Breath Mirror was destroyed during the fight. Han Ling used one of the fragments to forge a new mirror. In this way, the mirror could both deceive Duan Jiuyou with the aura of the Emperor and present the story that Han Ling had made up.
Di Jiang said, "What you see in the mirror is only half true. The gods didn't plan to cut off the tortoise's legs; rather, your father sacrificed himself to trap the demon, and so did your mother—"
Duan Jiuyou slashed forward with his sword, the crescent blade leaving a bloody gash on Di Jiang's neck. Had Di Jiang not dodged quickly enough, his throat would have been slit on the spot.
Duan Jiuyou showed no mercy and paid no attention to the truth Di Jiang told her. She had already obtained the truth and would no longer trust anyone.
Seeing that Di Jiang was losing ground, Bai Yanxing took advantage of the moment when the two were entangled to teleport behind Di Jiang and unleashed a Demon-Sealing Seal. Duan Jiuyou severed the seal with his sword, only to see it disperse and then coalesce into a sword blade that pierced his heart.
Duan Jiuyou withdrew in pain, though he was unwilling, he could only temporarily withdraw his troops and lead the Ao Sect disciples away from Dragon Breath Mountain.
After Duan Jiu left, a long silence fell on Dragon Breath Mountain. The Dragon Clan members stood there, still not understanding why the Imperial Frontier would aid them. The Demon Queen and Little Yellow Lord arrived shortly afterward. Bai Yanxing had sent them a message on his way there to explain the matter between the two clans.
Little Master Huang began his narration like a storyteller, while Di Jiang and Bai Yanxing sat under the old locust tree not far away, not participating in it.
They never expected things to develop to this point: Jiuyou has fallen into demonic possession, and the Three Realms are in danger.
Emperor Jiang looked exhausted and remained silent. His robe, fluttering in the wind, was covered with bloodstains from knife cuts.
This was the wound Duan Jiuyou left on him, without hesitation or doubt.
Bai Yanxing said, "She has become possessed by a demon. Only the Demon-Sealing Seal can temporarily suppress her. You shouldn't be soft-hearted."
"But what she saw was not the truth."
“But she is not in her right mind right now and only believes Han Ling. Just now you tried to tell her the truth, but she did not believe you. Han Ling led her into the evil path, and she has lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong.”
Di Jiang knew that Bai Yanxing was telling the truth, but he couldn't regard Jiuyou as an enemy or a demon.
“But perhaps she still recognizes you.” Bai Yanxing changed his approach, saying, “Jiuyou only attacked Dragon Breath Mountain tonight and didn’t touch the Desolate Clan. She might still have feelings for you. Perhaps she just doesn’t recognize you for the time being, but still holds affection for the Desolate Clan and the Ten Realms of Breaking Wind. Perhaps…”
Before Bai Yanxing could finish speaking, the vassal arrived anxiously.
"Lord! Duan Jiuyou has led the disciples of the Ao Sect to break into the tenth realm!"
