Ruan Xiyan entered seclusion, and Jun Yu settled down outside the stone chamber.
With Lin Muze's help, a simple courtyard was built outside the stone house, where Jun Yu could live and also keep watch over Ruan Xiyan.
Although Ruan Xiyan couldn't sense it, Junyu would still pick a few fresh peach blossoms and put them in a vase every day.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Junyu sat on a chair in the courtyard and poured himself a cup of tea.
He looked in the direction of the stone chamber, but there was still no sound from it.
The fact that Ayan has been in seclusion for so long suggests that the power within that ferocious beast's inner core is extremely immense.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; the power contained in the inner core of a ferocious beast is comparable to that of a divine beast.
Furthermore, that ferocious beast harbored the intention of possessing another's body, yet it couldn't relinquish its own power.
So he poured all his power into his inner core, wanting to take over Ayan's body and be resurrected in her appearance.
In this way, there's no need for arduous cultivation; simply absorbing the power from the inner core is enough to restore peak strength.
Unfortunately, all its efforts were in vain. Its remnant soul was destroyed, and in the end, Ayan gained an advantage from this power.
When Ayan emerges from seclusion, her strength will definitely have made a significant breakthrough.
Jun Yu smiled gently when he thought of Ruan Xiyan.
Suddenly, several powerful auras swept over, and Jun Yu's eyes sharpened upon sensing these unusual power fluctuations.
Those auras were powerful and well-concealed, and the others from the Illusionary Concealment Sect didn't notice them at all.
Several figures appeared before Jun Yu, knelt down before him, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to bother me unless it's something important?"
"Your Excellency, we are here on the orders of the Elder to invite you back to take charge of the overall situation," the leading man said in a low voice.
"The gods are now eyeing our demon race with hostility, and recently they have been provoking us on the demon border."
"The elder said that Your Majesty should prioritize the greater good and not indulge in romantic feelings. If Your Majesty truly loves that woman, I can share Your Majesty's burdens and bring her back to the Demon Realm."
Although the man's attitude was respectful, his tone clearly implied that he was using Ruan Xiyan to threaten Jun Yu.
A weak and helpless woman, if she goes to the demon realm, will be completely at their mercy.
Upon hearing this, Jun Yu's expression turned extremely terrifying. He glared at the man who had spoken and said, "Shut up."
As he finished speaking, the man's flesh and blood evaporated on the spot, leaving only a pile of bones scattered on the ground.
Jun Yu raised his hand and waved it, and the white bones turned to ashes and were scattered by the wind.
Nothing could be worse than being reduced to ashes!
Seeing this, the remaining people lowered their heads even further.
That man was a respected elder. His Majesty killed him without hesitation, and in such a cruel way, showing no mercy whatsoever to the elder.
This action also serves as a warning and a wake-up call for them.
If they were to overstep their bounds in the slightest, they would suffer the same fate as that man, their bodies utterly destroyed and their souls scattered.
Jun Yu clapped his hands, his oppressive gaze falling on the group. "You must remember, the Demon Lord is in charge of the Demon Clan. You are loyal to the Demon Lord, not the Elder."
"We understand!" they all said in unison.
Junyu glanced in the direction of the stone chamber, a look of reluctance flashing in his eyes.
He had promised Ayan that he would wait for her to come out of seclusion, and he was hoping that he would see her the moment she emerged.
It seems he has to break his promise now; he must return to the Demon Realm, as Ayan has not yet fully matured.
Whether it's a matter concerning the demon race or the god race, she must not be implicated.
Although he greedily wanted to stay by Ayan's side forever.
But if he doesn't leave, Ayan will never have a peaceful life again.
Those upsetting things shouldn't be something Ayan has to deal with so early.
He knew that Ayan would have to face these things sooner or later; her status made it impossible for her to avoid them, but at least not now.
Before Ayan regains her memories and strength, he will protect her and shield her from the storms of life.
May these carefree days continue for longer.
Jun Yu walked towards the stone chamber. The people were kneeling on the ground. Without Jun Yu's order, they dared not get up, let alone look up. Their heads were almost touching the ground.
Jun Yu entered the stone chamber and looked at Ruan Xiyan, who was sitting on the stone bed, seemingly oblivious. His slender fingers gently stroked her fair cheeks, finally lingering on her eyebrows and eyes.
He placed a kiss on her brow and brow, murmuring to himself.
"Ayan, I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of first and I can't say goodbye to you in person. When I come back, I will definitely apologize to you."
Junyu looked at the few peach blossoms on the stone table and poured the power in his hand into them, which would keep the peach blossoms alive.
Even though he was no longer here, he still wanted Ayan to see brightly blooming flowers the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes, instead of withered ones.
Junyu stood in front of the stone chamber, his hands forming a mudra, creating an invisible barrier outside the chamber.
Even if he can no longer protect Ayan, no one can harm Ayan who is in seclusion.
Jun Yu walked out of the stone chamber, not even glancing at the person kneeling on the ground, and coldly said, "Let's go."
His figure disappeared from the spot, and the others immediately followed.
In the Demon Realm, within a magnificent palace.
As Junyu sat down on the luxurious throne, everyone in the palace knelt down.
A man dressed in a black robe bowed to Jun Yu and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."
Jun Yu glanced at the bruises on his face and asked, "What happened?"
Wen Di spoke up, "Ever since Your Majesty left the Demon Realm, those elders have been dissatisfied with Your Majesty's decision to let me manage the Demon Realm, and they come to cause trouble every few days."
"His Majesty said that the people of the Demon Realm should not be allowed to disturb him easily. This time, they wanted to send someone to invite His Majesty back. When I tried to stop them, they beat me up with their men."
Junyu's face was expressionless.
As they were speaking, three elderly men with solemn expressions entered the main hall.
Jun Yu's eyes darkened. These old guys arrived really fast. He had just returned, and they couldn't wait to come over.
"If we hadn't sent someone to invite His Excellency, he probably would have forgotten where our Demon Realm is," one of the three elders said sarcastically.
The senior elder at the head of the group feigned a rebuke, "How dare you speak to His Majesty like that? You have no respect for elders. Please forgive him, His Majesty, he is just being outspoken."
"However, Your Majesty, as the ruler of the Demon Realm, sits on the throne of the Demon Lord and bears the heavy responsibility of the Demon Clan, yet you are always nowhere to be found, neglecting the Demon Clan. Isn't this too disheartening for the Demon Clan?"
