Chapter 1632: The Third Question

"How did the demon pill... explode?"

When the old man said this, his voice was trembling, and his expression was like a bereaved mother, with a look of loss of soul!

Not only him, but also my expression changed drastically.

My God!

You know, there are hundreds of demon pills in the box. If they are detonated at the same time, let alone us, I am afraid that the entire Hu Mansion and even the top of the Ten Thousand Demons Peak will be razed to the ground!

"What on earth are you Zichuan family going to do!?"

I turned my head and looked at the old man with anger, but the old man was at a loss, and then his expression suddenly became fierce.

"We were plotted, we were all plotted, someone, someone wants us dead, no, someone used my Zichuan family, wanting the Hu family dead!"

"Isn't it the Zichuan family's idea?" I shuddered, and at this time, the blazing light had enveloped the entire reception hall, and the terrifying energy wave also swept across.

"Qian Yu, get out!" Hu Shihua shouted, and then his figure flashed, pulling several members of the Hu family out and quickly flew away.

I followed closely behind, and directly flashed out of the door.

Seeing this, the old man grabbed Zifei and wanted to escape, but he was a step too late.

I saw that the blazing light instantly spread and spread, and the entire reception hall turned into a piece of pure white. All living things, under this piece of pure white, were so weak and were instantly vaporized.

As this scorching white light exploded, I suddenly saw ripples spreading out in the void. It felt as if the entire living room was enveloped by water waves. No matter how violent the scorching white light in the living room was, and no matter how terrifying the energy was, it was unable to break through those milky white ripples.

"Fortunately, I had people activate the formation in the reception hall beforehand. Otherwise, hundreds of demon pills would have exploded at the same time. I'm afraid that all the people on the top of the Ten Thousand Demons Peak would have been killed. Even if we don't die, we would have been half dead!"

When Hu Shihua said this, her eyes were full of fear. Seeing this, I patted the back of her hand and whispered, "It's okay, it's all over."

"Yeah." She nodded, and at this time, the several Hu family members behind her were all shocked, and two of them even felt their legs go weak and they knelt directly on the ground.

"Oh my god, hundreds of demon pills were detonated at the same time. We, we just escaped from the gates of hell!"

Several little demons gathered together, shocked and scared. Seeing this, Hu Shihua took a deep breath and said to several little demons: "Notify the Hu family elders who just returned from the forbidden area and let them be responsible for leading the team to guard. Anyone who approaches or hides around will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes." Several little demons hurriedly left after hearing this, leaving only Hu Shihua and I standing at the door, watching everything in the reception hall.

The terrifying energy was still raging, and everything in the reception hall was instantly turned into dust. If it weren't for the formation to protect it, I'm afraid the entire reception hall would have become a ruin.

"This formation... can actually withstand the energy after hundreds of demon pills exploded?" Hundreds of demon pills were detonated together, and the energy generated was simply unimaginable. Although it was not as powerful as a nuclear bomb, it was powerful enough to rival a missile.

However, this formation actually withstood the attack?

"This was the formation set up by the predecessor of the Fiery Sun Fox three hundred years ago. Later, an elder of my Hu family who specialized in formations also perfected it. However, after this explosion, I'm afraid that the formation will dissipate!" Hu Shihua said calmly.

I nodded, and then suddenly remembered the old man's previous words and changes in expression, and whispered: "This doesn't seem to be done by the Zichuan family themselves. If it was done by the Zichuan family themselves, they would have sent a descendant of the Purple Emperor. This is... too much of a cost!"

In response, Hu Shihua shook his head.

"A demon king often gives birth to dozens of offspring, and there are also many who give birth to hundreds of offspring. The demon race does not take bloodline seriously. Perhaps, this is the plan of the Zichuan family, but it is not ruled out that the Zichuan family is used by other families. I have to investigate this matter carefully."

"How do you investigate?"

The Hu family just experienced a massacre, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality. Although many ancestors of the Hu family are still sleeping in the Hu family's forbidden area, they are the last trump cards of the Hu family. They cannot be awakened unless it is absolutely necessary.

And if those ancestors are not awakened, then with the current strength of the Hu family, it is too unrealistic to want to be enemies with the entire demon race.

"I don't know either, but... after all, our Hu family was ordered by the saint to guard the demon world, and we are the head of the lower nine families. Now our mansion has been bombed, and even I, the head of the family, was almost killed. We can't just let it go. If we let it go, how can our Hu family survive in the demon world?"

At this point, Hu Shihua turned around and left, but I stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Shihua..." I opened my mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Can you... stop being the head of this family? Come with me, we will no longer ask about the affairs of the Hu family and the demon world!"

Hearing this, Hu Shihua was stunned at first, and then suddenly laughed.

She smiled and shook her head, and said lightly: "I have three questions, I hope you can answer them for me."

She combed her hair, then spoke, looked into my eyes and asked: "Can you not be the leader of the Wu Shushan reserve force? Can you not be a living ghost? If there is a trouble in the world, can you... sit back and do nothing?"

I froze when I heard that, and was speechless for a moment.

"Qian Yu, we are not children anymore. We all have responsibilities on our shoulders. How can we just walk away like children? What's more... the turmoil in the demon world concerns the human world. If all the races revive, the human world will be the first to be affected, and it may even... rewrite the history of the human race again. Do you really think I'm only doing this for the Hu family? Is it really just for the stability of the demon world? In fact... I'm helping you!"

"Go back to the human world, the human world needs you, just like the demon world needs me now, and... Chujiu also needs you!"

After saying that, she looked at me deeply, pulled her hand out of my palm, turned around and left quickly, leaving me alone, standing there in a daze, staring at her slowly receding back in a daze.

Yes, we are not children anymore, we all have responsibilities that cannot be shirked.

However,

we are also mortals with flesh and blood. If the sky really falls, can we really... withstand it?
