Sisters separated
The Demon Realm now looked brand new, much better than when they left. Yunti successfully found the Purple Stone Spirit, but he never expected that the Purple Stone had used Yunti's heart blood to cultivate into a human form. Now standing before Yunti was a handsome young man.
Yunti said happily, "I haven't seen Zi Shiling for a long time. Everything has changed."
The young man said shyly, "Thanks to your bloodline's help, otherwise I don't know how long it would take to cultivate into an adult."
Yunti smiled sweetly: "They are all thousands of years old stones, yet they still look so shy."
"Stop teasing me. What brings you here this time?" The young man Zi Shi said with lowered eyebrows and eyes.
Yunti changed the subject: "I came to ask you about the black energy."
Zi Shi said righteously, "Ask me, I will tell you everything I know!"
"Okay." Yunti got straight to the point. "Do you know when this black energy started to spread?"
Zi Shi thought for a while and said, "I can't remember the exact date, but I have seen this black energy for at least twenty or thirty years."
If that's the case, then the person behind this must have been planning it carefully for decades, Yunti thought.
"Then do you know where the source of the black air is?" Yunti asked again.
"As for the source..." Zi Shi pondered, "I only know that the black energy in my body is a gift from the Demon Lord. I think it must have been transmitted from the Demon Palace in the beginning."
Yunti suddenly had an idea: "So the Demon Lord might know a little more. Where is the Demon Lord?"
Zi Shi replied, "After you left last time, the Demon Lord also disappeared."
"How could this be..." Yunti murmured.
In an unknown corner, a big net is quietly being laid.
When Xian Youlin returned to the palace, Bitar was a little surprised: "I thought it would take at least a year and a half for you to come back."
"Master, you're joking. I can't really leave Youming to you." Xian Youlin said jokingly.
"Hmph." Bitar didn't buy his trick. "Look at you, you offended her instead of catching her."
Xian Youlin regretted: "Master is right."
"The fairy world is putting pressure on you, so it's just right for you to come back and deal with these messes." Bitar said unhappily.
Xian Youlin lowered her head and smiled faintly, "I wonder if my cousin has caused any trouble to Master recently?"
Bitar said meaningfully, "I know what you mean. That little fellow is quite clever, but his only shortcoming is his playfulness and recklessness. In this respect, he's definitely not as good as you were back then."
"That's right." Xian Youlin puffed out his chest and smiled embarrassedly.
Bitar sighed, "Alas, I was wrong. That kid is far more modest than you."
It seems that the pressure from the Immortal Realm is to make him give up and stay away from An Luoyi. I don’t know what quirks these people in the Immortal Realm have that make them so hostile to outsiders...
This was not the first time Fang Jinghe had escaped without permission. This time, after being caught by Fang Jiming, the two had a big fight.
"Father, I want to cancel my engagement with An Luoyi." Fang Jinghe's unprecedentedly affirmative attitude surprised Fang Jiming.
"You unfilial son! I haven't punished you yet, yet you have the nerve to say such nonsense!" Fang Jiming said angrily.
"I'm serious! I used to treat this engagement as a joke, but now I have someone I like, and I don't want to be bound by the engagement. I don't like An Luoyi! An Luoyi doesn't like me either!" Fang Jinghe said confidently.
Fang Jiming was so angry that he hit Fang Jinghe with his palm. Fang Jinghe knelt on the ground and did not move at all.
Fang Jiming looked at him coldly: "In the case of an immortal marriage, no one cares whether you are happy or not. What matters is the result! Are you going to go against your father?"
Fang Jinghe stood up straight and said, "I never thought of going against my father. I just didn't want to be a puppet."
"Hahaha! Well said, puppet..." A trace of sadness flashed across Fang Jiming's eyes, "Others want to be this puppet, but they can't! You don't have to think about the engagement!"
Fang Jiming ordered, "Come here, lock this rebellious son in the confinement room. He is not allowed to come out without my order. Send twice as many people as possible. If he escapes again, everyone will be exiled to the Frost Prison Valley!"
"Father! You can't do this to me!" Fang Jinghe shouted unwillingly. He cast a spell to shake away the immortal servant who was holding him.
Several immortal servants were thrown to the ground by the powerful spiritual power that erupted, unable to get up. Fang Jiming immediately sealed Fang Jing and several other academies: "Why don't you take them away!"
Fang Jinghe was unable to exert his spiritual power, and he struggled as he was dragged away by a group of quick-eyed and agile immortal soldiers.
The next day, Nanyuan Immortal Palace held a court meeting, and all the immortals gathered there. Coincidentally, Yunti also returned from the Demon Realm.
Yunti noticed more and more immortals on the way, so she quickened her pace and tried not to attract attention, but she was still stopped unexpectedly.
"Luo Yi..." A deep and powerful voice called out to Yunti.
Yunti had no choice but to turn around, a hint of surprise flashing across her face. She had seen this person in the memory of her mother. Perhaps because she had a bad impression of this person in her memory, Yunti was very alert.
The man smiled peacefully, "How come you're so distant? You don't even call me Uncle Fang when we meet."
The person who came was Fang Jiming. Yunti suddenly realized that she had heard of this name before. He was Fang Jinghe's father and also a famous general in the fairy world!
Yunti had a rough idea in her mind, and she bowed to Fang Jiming and said, "Uncle Fang."
Fang Jiming tapped his forehead lightly: "I heard that you were in seclusion for many days, are you out now?"
"Ah...that's right." Yunti remembered that his sister had declared to others that she was in seclusion, and now that she was discovered, she had no choice but to continue the lie.
"But you have broken through the bottleneck. Do you want my brat to practice with you?" Fang Jiming said with a smile.
Fang Jinghe... didn't know what happened to him. His sister had never been familiar with him. Yunti spoke up and refused Fang Jiming.
Yunti said politely, "Uncle Fang, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Fang Jiming stepped aside to make way for her: "Go ahead, go ahead. Uncle Fang won't bother you anymore."
Yunti walked over quickly. Fang Jiming had watched his sister grow up, so he couldn't stay for long or let him see anything.
Fang Jiming watched Yunti's back until she walked a long way away before he looked away.
After An Luoyi returned from Hanyu Valley, he thoroughly checked Chaoyun Palace. The already sparsely populated residence was now even more deserted. When he came in via the ladder, there was no one there. He even had to step back to take a look at the plaque before confirming it.
A'li was on guard outside the house and saw Yunti and hurriedly pulled her into the house.
"Ari, what's going on?" Yunti asked in confusion.
Ah Li whispered, "The Saint said we have spies in the palace, and they have dismissed many unfamiliar immortal servants in the past two days!"
Yunti raised his chin: "Where's my sister?"
"Here." An Luoyi responded in a clear voice.
The corners of Yunti's mouth curled up and she pulled An Luoyi and said, "Sister, why do you look worse? Aren't you almost recovered?"
An Luoyi placed his palm over Yunti's excited hand and spoke in a relaxed tone, "It's okay, don't worry."
Ah Li said frankly, "The Saint was almost recovered, but for some reason the Immortal Lord punished her and sent her to the Frost Prison Valley, where she ended up injured again."
"Ali!" An Luoyi gave her a cold look that made people tremble. Ali lowered her head with a look of knowing she was wrong.
"Sister, what's going on?" Yunti said with some resentment. "I hope to walk hand in hand with you, instead of hiding behind you like a child who knows nothing."
An Luoyi didn't answer Yunti but asked, "Did you get anything from Zi Shiling?"
Yunti lowered her gloomy eyes. It didn't matter. She knew that her sister was used to being alone and might not be used to sharing her troubles with others... In just a moment, Yunti wiped away the sadness in her eyes and obediently reported to An Luoyi.
Suddenly, An Luoyi waved his two fingers and a blue light flashed across the window eaves like an arrow. The sparrow that wanted to fly away was shot down and blood splattered all over the ground. An Luoyi and Yunti ran out to check.
"So that's how it is..." An Luoyi said, staring at the blood on the ground.
"What?" Yunti was a little confused.
An Luoyi said, "Every time our whereabouts are exposed, I become suspicious. It seems that person is using this sparrow to monitor Chaoyun Palace's every move."
"So my identity has been exposed?" Yunti said uneasily.
An Luoyi hesitated and said, "Not necessarily. We've only appeared in Chaoyun Palace at the same time twice. Anyway, Nanyuan Immortal Palace is not safe. Let's go out and hide first."
"But where can I go?" Yunti felt lost. Apart from staying with her sister, she couldn't think of any other place to go. She couldn't help but realize that there was no place for her in this big world.
An Luoyi was stunned...endless self-blame crept into her heart. She said she wanted to give her sister a home, but now she let her leave.
"The Netherworld is remote. Go find Xian Youlin. He will definitely help me take care of you!" An Luoyi fought back tears. "I am sorry for you. Don't worry. Once I have taken care of everything in the Immortal Mansion, I will definitely let you come back with a legitimate reason!"
Yunti cried and trembled: "Okay, sister, I believe you, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you."
A'li quietly left Chaoyun Palace with the ladder. She couldn't see the ladder off too far, so she pointed the direction for it and went back.
Looking towards the horizon, Yunti felt uneasy about the road ahead...
After the court meeting, the people An Luoyi sent to inquire about the news also came back. The fairy world was going to hold a "sacrificial ceremony" once a hundred years. The sacrificial ceremony was mainly hosted by the Priest Hall and presided over by the Grand Master of Destiny. It was a grand ceremony to seek the will of heaven to guide the future behavior of the fairy world.
This was An Luoyi's first time participating. She thought that perhaps she could use this ceremony to give Yunti an identity. As for the bloodline of the Demon Phoenix Clan, she would keep it secret for the time being and make long-term plans.
The immortal world had been silent for a long time, and everyone was eagerly anticipating this grand sacrificial ceremony. The Immortal Lord attached great importance to it and would not tolerate any mistakes. Mu Qianyu was extremely busy with this matter. She was still young and inexperienced, and she had recently visited countless immortals for advice.
When An Luoyi arrived, Mu Qianyu was comparing the ceremony procedures with his men. Although the ceremony was still more than a month away, it was a serious occasion after all and they couldn't rehearse in advance. They could only be meticulous and careful about trivial matters.
Mu Qianyu didn't even notice An Luoyi's arrival until An Luoyi took the initiative to speak to her.
"Look, I was so busy that I didn't even notice you coming." Mu Qianyu said sadly.
An Luoyi said bluntly: "I came here to discuss something."
Mu Qianyu said calmly, "Is it still about the ladder?"
"Yeah." An Luoyi said without changing his expression.
"Let's go to another place." Mu Qianyu took An Luoyi to a remote place.
Mu Qianyu has always understood An Luoyi. Although An Luoyi always has a cold face and no emotion can be seen, once she has an idea, that tenacity will be unshakable in her, and she must have planned everything.
Mu Qianyu said, "What plans do you have in mind? As long as I can be used, I will do my best."
An Luoyi leaned close to Mu Qianyu's ear and whispered softly: "I think..."
Mu Qianyu glanced at An Luoyi and asked, "Are you sure you don't need to communicate with the Immortal Lord in advance?"
"I already know my mother's attitude. Let me do what she dares not do. I said I would give Yunti a home." An Luoyi made up his mind and said the last sentence with certainty.
