Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Xiao Yu, I like you, and you have always known it." Helan Ruofeng boldly expressed his feelings to Yu Xiaobai.

"I know you've said it more than once." Yu Xiaobai felt sweet and happy in his heart.

In this small space, there are only the two of them, so they can open their hearts and express their feelings to each other without any scruples.

Just like Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong who met by chance, they can express their love to each other without being bound by the rules and secular prejudices of this world.

But once she leaves here, Yu Xiaobai may face attacks from countless immortal sects and endless pursuit.

As for Helan Ruofeng, he has only two choices: to face everything Yu Xiaobai has to face together, or to choose to stand against her.

No matter which of these two options Helan Ruofeng chooses, his heart will never be at peace.

At this time in Yunji Villa, the high priest who had been in a coma for many days slowly woke up.

"The High Priest has woken up." A young disciple who was guarding him asked happily.

This shout called back the sect leader and the elders outside.

"Master Priest, you are seriously injured and need to recuperate for a long time..." As soon as the elders entered the room, they saw Lan Moqiu trying to put on his clothes with his weak body.

"Thank you for saving me. I have something important to do and must leave now. I will repay you for saving my life another day. May I ask, how many days have I been in a coma?" Lan Moqiu asked while putting on his clothes.

"Master Priest, you have been in a coma for six or seven days." One of the respectful elders replied.

"What..." Lan Moqiu was startled and almost fell down.

Six or seven days have passed. If nothing unexpected happens, Yu Xiaobai has been found by the demons. He only hopes that she will be a simple little fish in this life. But now that so many days have passed, the resentment in her body has been triggered, and it is probably too late.

"Is the high priest in such a hurry to leave just to find that demon?" Sa Hurricane asked harshly as soon as he entered the room.

"We in Yunji Mountain Villa respect the high priest as the head, all because you are the master of our founder, Master Xu. Now, I know that the high priest is the Lord of the Upper Realm, extremely honorable, and I have no right to interfere with the Lord of the Upper Realm's actions. Is the Lord of the Upper Realm really willing to damage his reputation for a demon woman?"

Sa Hurricane didn't wait for Lan Moqiu to speak before he started to lecture him on the truth.

"Heh, do you know that the demon you mentioned is just an ordinary creature? She could have lived a peaceful life, but thanks to your precious daughter, she has become what she is now."

Lan Moqiu supported his broken body, staggered to Sa Hurricane, pointed at his nose and said angrily.

Sa Hurricane looked confused when he was pointed at, and was completely unaware of his accusation.

"You don't have to pretend to be innocent. I will tell you the whole story right now." Lan Moqiu swept his sharp eyes over everyone present.

Present at this time were the headmaster, three elders, Zhou Ze, Not Many, Yun Qing, and a group of disciples from Yunji Villa who liked to join in the fun.

"On the night before the selection competition four years ago, in order to take revenge on Zi Yan, Sa Yulong extracted half of her soul and half of Xue'er's soul and exchanged them." Lan Moqiu looked at Sa Hun and spoke clearly word by word.

"What..." Everyone present was shocked. How could Sa Yulong do such an immoral thing?

"So during that year, Zi Yan couldn't learn any magic because half of her soul was a dog, and an innocent puppy at that." Lan Moqiu continued to tell the story of that year.

"As for the fact that Sa Yulong forced Ling Yuwei to release the red-banded snake demon, I believe you also know about it, right?" Lan Moqiu looked at Sa Hun with an expression as if he was confirming that Sa Hun knew about it.

"What?" This time Sa Hurricane jumped up in shock.

"Master, I haven't reported this matter to you yet. When we were in Chan City, Ling Yuwei had already pointed it out in front of everyone. Before entering the Danxia Secret Realm, my junior sister did threaten Ling Yuwei to bring the red-bellied snake demon in, and then released it in the cave on the isolated island." Seeing Sa Hurricane's face full of disbelief, Zhou Ze immediately stepped forward to report.

"Why are you telling us such an important thing now? If I knew this rebellious girl was so vicious, how could I let her do such evil things? How could I let her disrupt the wedding?" Sa Hurricane yelled at his disciples present.

"Although the Sect Master is upright, he is biased towards the Senior Sister. Even if I tell her, what good will it do? At most, she will be punished by being locked up in the Shadowless Cave for a while and then released." Mo Xiaotan complained fearlessly.

Wei Xin, who was beside her, quickly pulled her and signaled her not to speak.

“Secretly, your majesty and Zi Yan almost died in the cave. Xiaoyu once told me that Helan Ruofeng almost died at the hands of the red-banded snake monster. It was she who tried her best to bite the red-banded snake monster, which gave Helan Ruofeng a glimmer of hope and seriously injured the red-banded snake monster.” Lan Moqiu stared at Sa Hurricane.

"It was because she bit the red snake monster out of instinct that she accidentally ate the blood of the ten thousand year old monster and swallowed the red snake monster's demon pill. As a result, the ordinary puppy suddenly changed into the small fish at this moment. Sect Master Sa, please tell me, who else can you blame if not your daughter? Is it your daughter who should be killed, or my innocent disciple?"

"If I hadn't discovered that they had swapped their souls, Xiaoyu and Ziyan would have had to endure a lot of suffering to get them back."

Lan Moqiu was so angry at the end that his body was shaking and he could not stand up.

Sa Hurricane heard Lan Moqiu's questioning. Although he felt that Yu Long was wrong, Xiaoyu was a demon after all. He held the idea that those who were not of my race must have different hearts, so he always felt that he should be killed.

"Your Majesty, Sa Hurricane will make my daughter give an explanation to everyone for the mistake she made. But Xiaoyu is a demon. Even if we don't kill her, we have to capture her and keep her under guard in the Demon Locking Tower." Sa Hurricane said stubbornly.

"You dare..." Lan Moqiu roared, then felt dizzy and fell down.

"High Priest..." Zhou Ze hurriedly supported him.

Before Lan Moqiu fainted, he couldn't help but curse Taibu Xingjun a hundred times.

"Master...what should we do when the high priest behaves like this?" Zhou Ze asked worriedly.

"Send him back to the priest's mansion. With Taibu Xingjun here, he will definitely be able to heal the high priest's injuries." Sa Hun thought for a while and said.

The three elders took turns with him to supply the high priest with spiritual power for two or three days before he could barely wake up. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to be completely cured.

The high priest's injury was originally caused by the soul-binding rope of Taibu Xingjun. He must have a way to heal it.

"Then I will escort the high priest back to the mansion right away." After Zhou Ze said this, he began to arrange the servants.

Sa Hurricane had a sinister look on his face. He never dreamed that he would give birth to a traitor like Sa Yulong.

He originally thought that she was just being willful and naughty occasionally. It was a sin to draw a sword and hurt someone at a wedding, and she had done such an unforgivable thing before. This time, he would not let her get away with it easily no matter what he said.

"Not much, Yunqing." Sa Hun shouted sharply.

"Master." Soon, Yunqing and the other man stepped forward immediately.

"You two are responsible for keeping an eye on the senior sister. Don't let her step out of the room again before she recovers from her injuries. Any punishment will be decided after she recovers." Sa Hurricane ordered sternly.

"Understood, Master." Yunqing and the others bowed in response.

No one came to plead for Sa Yulong today. If it were in the past, the three elders might have said something, but now there were more sighs and disbelief.

As soon as Sa Hurricane left, a group of disciples started discussing the identities of Zi Yan and Yu Xiaobai.

"No wonder we bullied Zi Yan back then. Senior Sister called her a stupid dog. We were just joking. Senior Sister is really bad." Wei Xin said angrily.

"That is to say, the Zi Yan at that time was not the real Zi Yan, but Xiao Yu?" Bai Xing's mind turned around before he came to his senses.

"No wonder that little girl Xiaoyu hit me the first time we met." Wei Xin suddenly realized something and said angrily.

"Yes, you guys bullied her the most harshly back then. Who else would she hit if not you?" Xing Fang said deliberately provocatively.

"What does it have to do with you? Does she look good to you? Why don't you laugh at yourself for trying to curry favor with a dog?" Wei Xin retorted to Xing Fang.

"Stop talking, you're making it seem like everyone is innocent. Everyone was involved in bullying her back then." Mo Xiaotan yelled in annoyance.

"I heard that she was assassinated by the senior sister at the wedding. She is probably on the run now. Should we find her and kill her in advance? To avoid any further trouble and her revenge on us in the future." Wei Xin suddenly asked with a calculating look on her face.

"The leader has already said that we will just capture him and lock him up in the Demon Locking Tower." Hong Ling said coldly.

"What if she escapes again after being locked up in the Demon Locking Tower? In my opinion, it is better to kill her on the spot." Wei Xin said again.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing what she said. Why did she want Xiaoyu to die so much?

Everyone felt a little panic in their hearts. What if it was true as she said, and Yu Xiaobai came back to take revenge on them?

However, during the more than half a year of trial, Xiaoyu did not do anything to hurt them!

"Junior Sister Xiaoyu is so kind. If she really wanted to take revenge on you, why wait until now? You are a bunch of bad guys." Bu Duo asked angrily after hearing what they said.

"Brother Buduo..." everyone shouted respectfully.

After several years of training and instruction, these disciples finally learned the importance of respecting their senior brothers, and they are no longer treating them too harshly or unreasonably as before.

"You are not new disciples anymore. The selection of new disciples is about to begin. If you have the free time, you might as well practice magic well. Don't wait until the new people come in and you are already surpassed by others." Yunqing also said sarcastically.

"Let's go, we'll go see the senior sister first." Buduo ignored everyone and called Yunqing to leave together.

He knew that the person who had gotten along well with him that year was Xiaoyu, and he suddenly worried that the headmaster would really catch her. He just hoped that she could hide as far away as possible and not be caught.

At the priest's house, Zhou Ze sent Lan Moqiu back in a carriage. Aji and Long Xiao, who had just recovered from his injuries, looked anxious. When they saw the unconscious Lan Moqiu, Aji cried out of anxiety.

"Why are you crying? The master is not dead, he is just injured." Long Xiao knocked Aji's head in annoyance.

"Oh my god, put him back to the room quickly." When Taibu Xingjun saw this, he shouted more anxiously than anyone else.

Zhou Ze could only obediently send the person back to the room.

"Old Bu, how did the high priest get injured? What happened after the disciples left that day? Why did Junior Sister Xiaoyu become a demon?" Zhou Ze dared to ask the Grand Bu Xingjun only when he had some free time.

"You should go back and ask your leader about Xiaoyu's matter. I don't know either. However, Lord Cangmo injured himself. There are only a handful of people in the Three Realms who can hurt him." Taibu Xingjun explained calmly.

"Lord Cangmo?" Although Zhou Ze was puzzled, he did not ask any more questions.

"Then I will take my leave." After sending the person off, Zhou Ze said goodbye and returned to Yunji Villa.

In the priest's house, Long Xiao invited a bunch of doctors to treat Lan Moqiu's injuries, but every one of them shook their heads and said that there was no cure, forcing Long Xiao to cry his eyes out.

Taibu Xingjun volunteered, took out a bunch of pills and fed them to the master quickly.

After Lan Moqiu took his medicine, his injuries did not get better. Instead, he vomited large mouthfuls of blood. His face turned pale and he was about to die.

"Old man, are you trying to kill my master on purpose? You look kind, but I didn't expect you to be so bad." Aji pointed at Taibu Xingjun's nose and cursed.

"Sir, you must hold on. Xiaoyu is waiting for you to pick her up." Long Xiao looked ashen as he quietly helped Lan Moqiu wipe the blood stains.

"I didn't mean to harm Lord Cangmo. It is said that if he forcibly breaks free from the Soul Binding Rope, he will either die or be injured. He didn't listen to my advice!" Taibu Xingjun felt it was too unfair. At that time, he just wanted his disciple to take the person away. He didn't know that Lan Moqiu would be so strong.

Not only did he destroy his Soul Binding Rope, but he also made himself look like this. If he knew Cang Mo would do this, he would never use the Soul Binding Rope even if he was beaten to death.

If he continued to vomit like this, Cang Mo would definitely die. What should he do? He couldn't let the Emperor know that he was still alive, and he couldn't find a doctor from the upper realm.

After much thought, Taibu Xingjun could only think of one person who could be used.

The divine world, the secret realm of Solo in the outer world…

Cong Li squatted in the yard concentrating on drying herbs. She didn't like this place, hanging outside the sky, with no daylight, only stars in the sky.

In the small courtyard, only Bai Qiyang was busy going in and out. He always asked her to recite the names of herbs, shapes, effects, conflicts, complements, and all kinds of strange things from time to time.

Whenever she started to recite these, Bai Qiyang would sit beside her with his chin in his hand, staring at her blankly, as if he had lost his soul.

Whenever Bai Qiyang looked at her like this, Cong Li's heart would beat as fast as if it was being trampled by a deer, so fast that she almost hated this feeling.

"My disciple is truly a rare beauty in the Three Realms. She is truly pleasing to my eyes." Whenever this happened, Bai Qiyang would praise her without hesitation.

Cong Li also went from being at a loss as to what to do with his praise in the beginning to being accustomed to it now.

This day, it was time for Cong Li to recite the amounts of various ingredients, the order of adding, the size of the fire, and the time for refining.

Bai Qiyang began to stare at her blankly as usual. Suddenly, Cong Li's beautiful face turned into an old face with wrinkles and white hair.

"Ah..." Bai Qiyang was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

When he got up again, he saw Taibu Xingjun looking at him attentively and smiling.

"Taibu Star Lord, how did you get up here? Did Lord Weiqing successfully pass the tribulation?" Bai Qiyang looked around behind Taibu Star Lord.

"Xiaobai Immortal Lord, please quickly get me some life-saving pills. I'm in big trouble!" Taibu Xingjun pulled Bai Qiyang and begged directly.
