Chapter 65 Demon Realm
To break the blood seal, we must go to the Demon Realm.
At this moment, perhaps because even more blood had been shed in the Demon Realm, this land had become even more crimson.
Inside the Tianman Palace, Xiao Qingran, who had been missing for several days, stood below the throne with bloodshot eyes, a sign of demonic possession.
He took a hasty step forward, his hands clenched into fists, brimming with rage.
"I can't wait any longer to let me kill Xiao Shuying!"
The person in front of him was none other than Feng Mingye.
Dressed in red, with alluring features, she was giving Xiao Qingran a meaningful look.
The magical artifacts obtained from the palace indicate that the spirit of the Three Realms resides in the Xiao family, whereas his previous detections indicated that the spirit of the Three Realms resides in the Tianxuan Sect.
Combining the two factors, Xiao Qingran is the most likely candidate. After all, the spirits of the Three Realms are favored by the Heavenly Dao, and only Xiao Qingran's smooth-sailing first half of life is a perfect fit.
As the eldest son of the Xiao family, he was the center of attention from a young age, and his talent was unparalleled, so he directly became a disciple of the sect leader.
From these aspects, it is indeed undoubtedly a spirit of the Three Realms.
But... why is this person so impatient?
In order to find out whether Xiao Qingran could cultivate both spirit and demon, I transferred demonic energy to him these days. However, Xiao Qingran seemed to be careless and refused to enter the demonic path. It was only today that he finally came into contact with the demonic energy.
Well, whether she's the person I'm looking for or not, we'll find out in a few days anyway, Feng Mingye thought to himself, while outwardly maintaining a calm demeanor towards Xiao Qingran.
"Don't worry, I've placed a blood curse on Su Yunyu, and with your disappearance, the master and disciple will definitely come to the Demon Realm."
Whether they will come openly and honestly, or disguise themselves like last time, no one knows.
Upon hearing the name "Su Yunyu," Xiao Qingran's manic energy subsided somewhat. He felt a struggle within him, inexplicably recalling the scene from their first meeting:
At that time, the white-robed immortal was graceful and ethereal, seemingly detached from the world. Perhaps he only had eyes for Xiao Shuying, but at that time, she only had eyes for him.
After entering the Tianxuan Sect, he learned from his fellow disciples or the sect leader that Su Yunyu had been running around trying to save Xiao Shuying's broken meridians, and he felt an intense hatred for that useless half-brother.
Despite the ominous signs that appeared at his birth, which supposedly led to the deaths of his concubine and his own mother, why does he now have such a bright future?
Xiao Qingran was filled with rage towards Xiao Shuying, and also somewhat panicked about Su Yunyu. He was now tainted by demonic energy, and what would Su Yunyu think if she saw him...?
His struggle at this moment, seen by Feng Mingye, was mistakenly interpreted as him being hesitant to go all out at the last minute. Therefore, he became even more hesitant and still told him:
"Don't worry, if Xiao Shuying really dares to come, I will definitely take his life this time."
Xiao Qingran seemed not to hear, and simply asked:
"You left a blood mark on your martial uncle."
"Uncle-Master," Feng Mingye asked, then realized he was referring to Su Yunyu. He suddenly seemed to realize he'd misunderstood something, and now understood that Xiao Qingran also had sect ties. He couldn't help but put aside his hesitation and smiled, saying:
"Yes, the bloodstain isn't fatal, it'll just interfere with his actions. He might kill Xiao Shuying on his own without me having to lift a finger."
Seeing that Xiao Qingran seemed much calmer, Feng Mingye glanced at him and said again:
"If you see Xiao Shuying, don't act on your own."
After all, Xiao Shuying is so difficult to kill that Xiao Qingran cannot handle her.
"knew."
As the words fell silent, Tenmangu Shrine fell silent again, with only the crimson wind constantly sweeping across this gloomy land.
Meanwhile, Su Yunyu and Xiao Shuying had already disguised themselves and sneaked in.
Using the pretext of searching for the missing Xiao Qingran, Su Yunyu successfully obtained the opportunity to leave Tianxuan Sect through Wenren Li.
Upon hearing this reason, Wenrenli sighed, saying that although Xiao Qingran was his disciple, he was impetuous and had ulterior motives. He originally intended to ignore him, but if his whereabouts were unknown, he would be letting down his master's heart.
He also instructed Su Yunyu that if Xiao Qingran was found, as long as he knew his situation and was not in mortal danger, there was no need to bring him back to the sect.
Su Yunyu took this reason to heart, thinking that after resolving the blood seal, she would try her luck to see if Xiao Qingran was in the Demon Realm.
If he really can't find it, there's nothing he can do. After all, once he's dealt with the Blood Seal, he has to deal with Long Aotian. Once he's done with Long Aotian, he can go back.
At that point, I really won't care about the characters' joys and sorrows in the book.
As for the Demon Realm, although they had already disguised themselves and infiltrated, they still needed to find a pretext to approach Feng Mingye.
At present, a direct attack is the worst option, since this is their territory and we should prioritize a strategic approach.
So, as Xiao Shuying whispered about the next step, Su Yunyu, relying on the background information provided by 111, said:
"Let's go to Yuehu Tower."
The twelve towers of the Demon Realm are Wind and Rain/Thunder and Lightning, Moon Tiger/Night Howl, Perilous Peak/Strange Tree, Wave Dragon/Fog Demon, Light Monster/God and Ghost, and Whirlwind/Double Blades.
They each have their own duties, but basically they all perform the same function: killing people, killing all kinds of people, and when they get ruthless, they even kill their own people.
The Tiger Tower is the strongest in terms of combat power, so the tower master and deputy tower master are the most favored by Feng Mingye. Su Yunyu plans to start from here to get closer to Feng Mingye.
After the two arrived at Moon Tiger Tower, the tower in front of them was about ten stories high. There were guards in front of the tower. Su Yunyu was not sure how they let people in, so she began to observe first.
After observing for a while without seeing anyone enter the Moon Tiger Tower, just as I was about to lose my patience and sneak in, someone finally arrived at the front of the tower. The guard said something that was unclear, but an angry shout came from inside the tower:
"He can't even find the beauty I want, get him out!"
The voice was unrestrained and extremely loud, so Su Yunyu heard it clearly and immediately discerned the information from just one short sentence.
If the people here want to find a beautiful woman, they have a way to do it.
So Su Yunyu gently beckoned to Xiao Shuying, and after he leaned in close, whispered a few words in his ear:
"First do this... then that... and finally..."
As Xiao Shuying listened, her gaze deepened, indicating she wanted to reject the proposal:
"Master, how could you put yourself in such danger..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yunyu interrupted him:
"Otherwise, I can handle the bloodstain matter myself."
That was the end of the story. Before long, the two guards watching in front of the building saw two people walking openly towards them.
One of them walked over and said:
"I have brought the beauty I need."
The guard was still wondering where this unfamiliar face came from when he heard a hurried voice coming from inside the building:
"If there are no beauties around, then tell him to get lost—"
Therefore, the guards disregarded the need to investigate Xiao Shuying's identity, as his demonic energy was so pure that it was clearly impossible for an outsider to imitate. They immediately began to examine the so-called beauty.
Where is the beauty you speak of?
At this moment, a figure slowly emerged from behind Xiao Shuying. He was dressed in white robes, incongruous with the demon realm, and wore a veiled hat. The draped white gauze concealed his face. Only when the guards urged him to reveal his true appearance did he slowly lift the veil—
The autumn waters are breathtaking, even the stars pale in comparison.
The guard was stunned and speechless. Xiao Shuying was a little impatient. She grabbed Su Yunyu's wrist and led him into the building openly.
Even after the two men went inside, the two guards were still immersed in what they had just witnessed and could not come back to their senses for a long time.
The person inside the building had not heard any movement outside for a long time. Just as they were wondering if the so-called beauty was just air and were getting very annoyed, they saw two people walk in.
He sat on the throne, casually taking large gulps of wine, and asked as he drank:
"It's the beauty you just said you found for me."
This man was none other than Yu Jingwu, the deputy head of Yuehu Tower. As his name suggested, he had the air of a warrior, rugged and unkempt. Although he was somewhat handsome, it was ruined by his sinister expression.
Xiao Shuying suppressed the urge to forcefully attack, restrained herself, and, following Su Yunyu's instructions, lowered her expression and said:
"Yes, sir."
Yu Jingwu downed another swig of wine: "Where is the beauty?"
Su Yunyu bypassed Xiao Shuying and walked directly up the steps to the hall without fear. Yu Jingwu, who had raised his wine bowl, was surprised and stopped in his tracks, even forgetting to put the meat in his mouth.
"How dare you!" Realizing what had happened, Yu Jingwu roared, slamming his wine bowl down on the long table and throwing the meat aside. His greasy hands reached for his weapon, until Su Yunyu calmly lifted the white veil covering her face—
As expected, the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Yu Jingwu remained frozen in place, still drawing his sword, staring blankly at Su Yunyu in a rather comical manner.
Seeing this, Su Yunyu first thanked Li Qingyuan in her heart for the cheat code he had given her, then smiled slightly and deliberately said:
Are you satisfied, sir?
How could one not be satisfied if one could see one's own face before death?
Upon hearing this, Yu Jingwu finally came to his senses. His face showed a series of changes: surprise, joy, helplessness, and then a sweat pouring down his face. He grinned and said:
"Satisfied, of course satisfied. I wonder if my beauty would be willing to spend the night with me..."
Before he could finish speaking, and before Su Yunyu could make a move, His Highness flashed a sharp light, and Yu Jingwu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes widening as he tried to look down to see where the excruciating pain was coming from.
Xiao Shuying had already flown to Su Yunyu's side, holding the bloodstained bone whip in his hand. The black bone blade was covered with deep red blood, exuding a chilling aura. He coldly glanced at Yu Jingwu as if he were looking at an ant.
Yu Jingwu couldn't even see where he was injured, because the bone whip had pierced straight through his throat. When he looked down, the wound became blocked, and large gushes of blood gushed out.
The bloody scene before her eyes terrified Su Yunyu, who thought to herself that Long Aotian was indeed ruthless and had no equal.
If I fail my mission, wouldn't the consequences be even worse...?
Thinking of this, Su Yunyu became even more determined to succeed on her first try!
Yu Jingwu struggled futilely for a couple of moments before passing away, his wide-open eyes still filled with shock.
Seeing this, Xiao Shuying put away her bone whip and searched his body, finally finding an identity plaque that read:
Deputy OP, Yu Jingwu.
“Master,” Xiao Shuying turned around, holding the token, and looked at Su Yunyu:
Are you really going to impersonate this person?

Author's Note: I feel like the second male lead is just a plot device, cough cough cough. Because of the needs of the plot, his stats are slightly higher here. This won't happen after this part of the story. [Please][doge]
