He is famous and powerful, and has great killing power, which makes many monsters tremble in fear.
Then, on a quiet moonlit night, Mo Qianqiu led a number of demon cultivators to ambush a demon troop. He unfurled his magic whip, smiled carefreely, and prepared to start a massacre. Unexpectedly, the next moment, he was ambushed and saw the mysterious demon lord hiding in the enemy camp.
Demon Lord Jin Li.
Mo Qianqiu had heard of this name before, but that was all he had heard of. Rumor had it that Jin Li rarely left Dragon Island. Although he was only an Earth-rank Demon Lord, his status as a divine beast meant he was incredibly powerful, comparable to a Heaven-rank Demon Lord.
Mo Qianqiu didn't dare exaggerate, and the two began their first battle. Mo Qianqiu barely managed Jin Li's attacks, repeatedly falling into dangerous situations that nearly cost him his life. The two fought all the way from the Thirteenth Sea of the Demon Realm to the Demon Realm, then through Yunzhou and to the border between Cenzhou and Mingzhou.
There lies a perilous region called Wanming Mountain. Within Wanming Mountain, one can occasionally hear strange beastly roars. Hidden within these foggy mountains are strange beasts. These aren't demonic beasts, but they possess a hint of ghostly energy that can damage a cultivator's spirit, but has no effect on demonic beasts.
Arriving at such a place, Mo Qianqiu naturally had to be careful, but Jin Li was like a fish in water.
Mo Qianqiu knew that even if Jin Li couldn't kill him, he could still cripple his cultivation or cause his realm to plummet. Covered in wounds, Mo Qianqiu took the opportunity to hide on a cliff. In the raging wind, countless strange flying beasts tore at his body, but he couldn't utter a single sound.
These beasts could not cause any injuries to his body, but they could bite his soul directly through his body.
The pain of the soul far exceeds that of the physical body.
Mo Qianqiu couldn't attack them. Beneath him was a bottomless abyss, hiding countless flightless beasts; above him was a slowly approaching demon king. Demon beasts were not good at using their spiritual sense to locate people, so they could only search carefully bit by bit.
Hiding among these wild beasts, the breath of the wild beasts can confuse his own breath, and he can also avoid Jin Li.
Mo Qianqiu held onto the mountain wall, his body trembling, his soul being torn apart countless times. He hid for seven whole days, and Jin Li stood above him for seven whole days. After seven days, Jin Li sighed softly and turned to leave.
He didn't even kill her!
Afterwards, if Mo Qianqiu's strength improved, he wouldn't be so embarrassed against Jin Li. The two had fought over twenty times over the course of hundreds of years, and almost always both suffered losses. Mo Qianqiu was at a disadvantage more often, while Jin Li suffered less.
Later on, the two seemed to have reached an unspoken understanding: neither would kill the other.
This tacit understanding continued until Wu Xiaozi found Mo Qianqiu and prepared to join forces with him to seal Jin Li.
The past had become a fleeting cloud, passing by in a hurry. To Mo Qianqiu, these events were but a fragment of his long life. Only now, when they were mentioned, did he feel as if he were experiencing them all over again, and finally, a strange thought came to him -
In fact, his relationship with Jin Li is not that bad.
It's not a very good relationship, but it's not a life-and-death relationship either.
——Before he gouged out Jin Li’s heart and took away the demon pill.
Mo Qianqiu listened to Jin Li's story, and he began to talk about Dragon Island. Mo Qianqiu had never been to Dragon Island, but he had heard that it was a paradise on earth. Fairylands are usually sparsely populated, devoid of the mortal air. Therefore, Dragon Island was inhabited only by the dragon clan, and now, only by Jin Li.
Jin Li hadn't been talking all the time. He had been talking intermittently. Suddenly, he stopped and asked casually, "What do you like?"
Mo Qianqiu's heart tightened. He was no longer as vigilant as before, but he still didn't dare to relax.
After a long moment, he let out a low laugh from his throat. It wasn't sarcastic, just a normal laugh. Then he said, "I like beautiful women. If they're ugly, I don't even want to look at them. Take Wu Xiaozi, for example. The wrinkles on his face could kill a mosquito. I always find it disgusting to look at him."
Jin Li lowered his eyes and said, "Wu Xiaozi wasted his time. He didn't discover his super-grade physique until he was in his fifties and began to cultivate. Therefore, by the time he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he was already sixty years old and didn't look young anymore."
Mo Qianqiu hummed indifferently: "He is ugly anyway."
Jin Li said calmly, "Then who's good-looking?"
Mo Qianqiu said as a matter of course: "Of course I am the most beautiful."
"The skin is just an appearance, why bother with it? No matter how beautiful you are, you won't stand a chance against a strong person, and you will still be powerless to turn the tide."
Upon hearing this, a figure flashed through Mo Qianqiu's mind. He narrowed his eyes and his voice immediately became colder: "Why did you save me?" He returned to the original question and didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore.
Jin Li ignored him and remained silent for a long time.
Several years have passed since the two entered this dark space.
Jin Li had no intention of taking his heart, and Mo Qianqiu gradually recovered his strength and already had half the strength of his peak period.
The moment his spiritual power returned to his body, Mo Qianqiu took out his whip from his ring, clenched it in his palm, and cautiously waited for Jin Li. He didn't know why Jin Li saved him, but he knew that if Jin Li wanted to kill him again, it would be easy.
Mo Qianqiu was not a good person. If Jin Li wanted, he could return the heart to him immediately and experience death again. However, this did not mean that his life would be controlled by him.
