If this continues, they'll die here!
Negative emotions from cultivators seeped into the formation, and the life and cultivation of cultivators struck by lightning were absorbed by the formation, making the formation stronger and stronger while they themselves grew weaker.
Phoenix Kite was in hand. It was swung into the air and a purple fire dragon condensed in mid-air, which swallowed the falling lightning. The next moment, it exploded and turned into sparks of fire falling down. The loud noise seemed to explode in Geng Qi's mind, and his soul began to tremble.
He only took one turn before he was like this. Rong Yu had been holding on. He suddenly turned his head. The person next to him showed no abnormality in expression, but his face was no longer so rosy. He lowered his head and looked down. The knuckles of the two of them were already white as they were clenched together.
He stroked the increasingly lustrous blade of the Phoenix Kite with his right hand. Suddenly, the jade ring on his thumb vibrated. He turned it quietly, paused for a moment, and his heart seemed to skip a beat. Rong Yu quickly noticed and turned his head to look at him. He quickly recovered and pursed his thin lips.
Looking up at the woman behind Fu Sheng, she possessed unparalleled beauty and an ethereal grace, less alluring and more divine than he had.
That is the true divine phoenix!
He was probably a mixed-blood phoenix with impure blood, so he could not revert to his original form and become a phoenix worshipped by all the people of the world.
"Do you know? I've been an orphan since birth, and I've never met my parents. Are parents in the world really that selfish?"
In his previous life, he had no parents anywhere.
His sudden words made Rong Yu's heart skip a beat: "Changyi?"
Geng Qi turned his head and smiled at him, "Actually, I'm really useless. All my cultivation wasn't cultivated by myself. It was already in my body when I woke up. If it weren't for the people in the Demon Palace protecting me, I probably wouldn't be alive to see you..."
"After you know this, you should cultivate properly and stop running around recklessly. If you had listened to me earlier, none of this would have happened!" Leng Ning Shuang scolded sharply. As soon as she finished speaking, she spun around and transformed back into her original form. A colorful butterfly suddenly took flight, its body growing larger and larger until it covered them.
"Sister Mei!" Qinghan exclaimed.
A pair of bone wings covered her head, seemingly as thin as cicada wings, yet they steadily caught the falling lightning. Although the pain caused her body to convulse, she remained steadfastly blocking the lightning above.
Fu Sheng still had feelings for her, and the thunder seemed to have lessened considerably, but it didn't stop.
With eyes fixed on him, Geng Qi did not turn his head.
Rong Yu's heart sank slightly. On this person's face, there was no worry or hesitation, but rather a resolute air.
He suddenly had a bad feeling, and his hand tightened.
"Ouch!" Geng Qi winced in pain. "What are you doing? You're pinching me!"
Hearing his cry of pain, Rong Yu subconsciously let go, but suddenly his breath caught in his throat and he couldn't move.
"Haha, you're always soft-hearted towards me." He chuckled, but Rong Yu's face darkened.
In an instant, his spiritual veins were sealed, his movements were restricted, and he couldn't even speak.
Geng Qi leaned closer to him and said, "I know this won't keep you trapped for long, but if someone wants to harm you, this little bit of time is enough. So in the future, never let your guard down like this in front of other people."
"..."
"I'm a born idle person. I can't play the zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting. I'm completely clueless about alchemy and array formation. I don't have any cultivation methods either. If it weren't for my identity as the Demon Lord, I would be a useless person." Geng Qi laughed and said, "A person like me can actually be useful."
"..."
"No matter what happens in the future, never follow the example of that person. I'm not a good person, but I don't want to be a truly wicked one either. It's not pleasant to be talked about behind your back and cursed. Also, don't forget me..."
The last syllable was swallowed between their pressed lips.
He never made such intimate gestures in front of outsiders. He cared about Rong Yu's reputation, but now... it didn't matter anymore.
In their final kiss, he was smiling, while the other man's face was ashen.
Perhaps it was anger, or perhaps it was the pent-up desire to break free from the restraints that caused it to act this way.
The thunder continued, and the Yi Ling Gate was completely silent.
They heard every word the Demon Lord uttered clearly. A relationship forbidden by the world, two people who were not accepted, kissed under the thunder, yet no one showed the slightest contempt.
Their soft lips parted reluctantly, and Geng Qi bit his lips lightly before slowly pulling away.
With a slight smile, Geng Qi turned his head and said, "Scorpion, stop bothering me. Apart from Rong Yu, none of you can stop me here."
"Young Master!"
Seeing Qinghan's pale face, Geng Qi said, "Cherish what you should cherish, enjoy what you should enjoy, don't wait until..."
He didn't say the last words, but raised his hand to stroke Rong Yu's face, his toes already off the ground.
Without a word of farewell, the red figure soared into the air, and the demon race below knelt on the ground. Leng Ning Shuang heard a voice transmission in her mind: Geng Qi said to her: Sister Mei, I'm sorry.
She suddenly transformed into human form, but it was too late to catch up with him.
Just as he said, no one here can stop him except Rong Yu.
The red figure grew smaller and smaller. Compared to the purple light that filled the sky, he was as insignificant as a speck of dust. As he approached the vortex, the bone whip in his hand shone with golden light, as if the sun had broken through the clouds in the darkness.
After the dazzling light, everyone was forced to close their eyes. Only one person broke free of his restraints and transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky. The violent roar deafened them. When they opened their eyes again, the sun and moon reappeared, and a sea of fire filled the sky. The golden flames enveloped the entire sky. The violent impact knocked the person who had just reached the air down. Rong Yu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down. Something fell out of the sea of fire. He raised his hand to grab it, and suddenly felt a jolt from behind as someone caught him in their arms.
"Little Mo..."
The person in his arms had bloodshot eyes. He had forcefully broken through the restriction, causing his true energy to become disordered. He was also hit by the raging flames, resulting in serious injuries.
He held something tightly in his hand. After landing, he opened his palm and saw a lustrous jade thumb ring. Qing Han recognized it; it was something Geng Qi never parted with.
All around was silent, and everyone stared at the sky, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock they had just experienced.
Only one person stood at the center of the formation, looking down at the jade thumb ring in his hand, his gaze blank.
