Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

When looking for water, Lan Moqiu accidentally discovered that the dog actually had a very familiar soul hidden in it. He would certainly not let the dog fall into Sa Yulong's hands.

Sa Yulong never dreamed that the reason she was able to enter the priest's house was because of a favor from a dog.

"The person is gone, why can't I let go?" Lan Moqiu sat on the ground next to Xue'er sadly.

Xue'er didn't move, tears streaming down her face. She just had a dream, she wanted to become an immortal.

She also withstood the test of the magic mirror. Why did the eldest lady treat her like this?

She is now trapped in Xueer's body and can't do anything. Is she destined to be a dog for the rest of her life?

...At this time in the human world, all immortal sects were recruiting disciples, and in the heavenly world...

"Report to the Lord of Heaven, an immortal official has come to report that strange phenomena have occurred in the Mixu Realm, where the demon world and the human world meet." The Guardian God reported with a serious face.

"After the Demon King Feng Xi was killed ten thousand years ago, the elders of the demon clan each ruled their own country, causing the demon world to fall apart and become a pile of loose sand. No longer able to compete with the heaven, they retreated back to the demon world and never set foot on the human world again." The Emperor of Heaven recalled.

"Your Majesty, when the Demon King was burned to death, you predicted that the Demon King would be reborn ten thousand years later, and my heaven would lose a star." Taibu Xingjun said, stroking his long white beard.

"If the Demon King is reborn, he will destroy a star in our heaven. We must take precautions in advance to stop the Demon King from being reborn successfully. But where are you?" The Emperor of Heaven asked upon hearing this.

"This..." Taibu Xingjun looked embarrassed and didn't know how to start.

Wei Qing is the youngest son of the Emperor of Heaven, and his mother is the eldest princess of the Phoenix clan in the fairy world.

He was born with a pearl in his mouth. He inherited the body of a dragon from the Emperor of Heaven, and also got the elixir of fire phoenix from his mother clan. He was gifted with extraordinary talents and was regarded as the hope for the future of heaven.

However, Wei Qing had a strong interest in divination, even more than his cultivation and magic.

When he was young, he often pestered Taibu Xingjun to learn the art of divination. Taibu Xingjun had nothing to do so he fulfilled his wish.

Once, Wei Qing used divination to predict the rebirth of the Demon King. If the Demon King is reborn, the three realms will be rekindled in war, and all living beings will be devastated.

He also discovered that a god would fall from heaven to offset this disaster, and that this was the only way to ensure eternal peace in the three realms.

Wei Qing knew the responsibility he shouldered, and he was willing to save others by his own example. He gave up his immortal body and fell into reincarnation to influence the demon king and make him give up reincarnation into the demon world.

"What's this? Taibu Xingjun, at this point, what are you still hesitating about?" The Guardian God looked anxious.

"Your Majesty, Lord Weiqing asked to go to Luoxiantai after fortune-telling. Now, I don't know how many reincarnations he has experienced in the human world." Taibu Xingjun thought that he couldn't hide it, so he might as well tell it directly and accept the punishment.

"What? Wei Qing went to the human world without permission?" The fairies began to whisper.

"No wonder I haven't seen Lord Weiqing for some time."

"When this demon king comes to the world, we should ask the war gods and generals in heaven to go and punish him. How can we ask the future Lord of Heaven to save him?"

"If you act like this, my heaven is in danger."

"Forget it, everything is destined. Let's see how things develop in the future!" The Emperor of Heaven did not blame Taibu Xingjun. He just waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

Demon Realm, Yuwu City...

The great elder Yuan Ze had established his own faction in the demon world after the demon king Fen Ji. The pleasure of being in power was incomparable to that of being a minister. He controlled more than half of the troops in the demon world. Although the other elders were all powerful, they were afraid of him and dared not cross the line.

Therefore, he is now standing on the same side as the Heaven in disguise. Like the Heaven, he also does not want the Demon King to return.

"Great Elder, Fifth Elder Xiao Yu requests to see you." Guard Sang Zi entered the room and reported.

"What is he doing here? Please come in." Yuan Ze was puzzled, but then he thought, could he be thinking the same thing as he thought?

After a while, Xiao Yu walked into the room with a serious face.

"You and I haven't seen each other for a thousand years. Why did you suddenly come uninvited?" Yuan Ze asked directly.

"Then I will tell you the truth. Ever since the Demon King Fen Ji, our five elders have each had their own ulterior motives and have been fighting openly and secretly for thousands of years to maintain this result. Now, the time for the Demon King's rebirth is approaching, and then our demon world will be united again. I wonder what the great elder thinks about this?" Xiao Yu asked directly.

His deep eyes were fixed on the Great Elder, as if he wanted to see through his eyes to see his true thoughts.

A barely perceptible hesitation flashed across the Great Elder's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Ten thousand years have passed since the incident of Demon King Fen Ji. Now the Demon King is about to be reborn. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the demon world. But after the Demon King is reborn, will he provoke war among the three realms again and cause unrest in the demon world? At that time, what situation will our demon world be in?"

Xiao Yu frowned slightly. He knew that the Great Elder was a meticulous and calculating person, and what he said must have a deep meaning.

"Then according to the Great Elder's opinion, how should we respond?" he asked.

"After the Demon King is reborn, it will inevitably have an impact on the situation in the demon world. The Demon King is the leader of our demon clan. If the Demon King regains control of the demon world, we will naturally obey him loyally. But if the Demon King cannot control the situation, then we need to prepare countermeasures to ensure the stability and tranquility of the demon world." The Great Elder pondered for a moment and answered in a serious tone.

Xiao Yu nodded, indicating that he agreed with the Great Elder's point of view.

However, he still had doubts in his heart and continued to ask: "What the Great Elder said is very true, I think so too. But how can we judge whether the current status quo can be maintained after the Demon King returns?"

Yuan Ze smiled slightly, without any emotion in his eyes.

"This requires us to pay close attention to the trajectory of the Demon King's rebirth. Besides, there are more than just you and me two elders in this demon world. We also need to listen to the opinions of the other three."

Yuan Ze secretly guessed that Xiao Yu was an ambitious and ruthless person. When the demon king Fen Ji came, he was the first one to cause trouble.

How could he be inferior to someone else now? He didn't believe that Xiao Yu really wanted to welcome the Demon King back.

Xiao Yu fell into deep thought after hearing this. Was Yuan Ze really hoping that the demon king would return? Did he not want to maintain the status quo?

You must know that once the Demon King returns, the five elders will unite as one and become the essential personnel to assist the Demon King.

At that time, the left and right guardians of the demon world who have been sleeping in the Shuanglong Secret Realm for ten thousand years will also wake up.

Millions of demon soldiers in the demon world will also follow the will of heaven and only obey the orders of the Demon King. Their status will also undergo tremendous changes.

Now, he couldn't figure out Yuan Ze's true thoughts, so he could only continue to look for the other three elders to find out.

"Great Elder, the Fifth Elder has already left." Sang Zi reported.

"Okay, I understand." Yuan Ze nodded slightly, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Great Elder, Xiao Yu is a man with deep scheming. Is he really willing to welcome the Demon King back to the demon world?" Sang Zi couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Ze frowned and thought for a moment.

"Xiao Yu is indeed a thoughtful person, and his answer just now was flawless. Overtly and covertly, he is mainly concerned about the demon world. He did not say that he wants to fight against the demon king, nor did he say that he wants to welcome the demon king back. But whether he sincerely wants to welcome the demon king back is not important."

Sang Zi nodded in agreement.

"In my opinion, the Fifth Elder must not want the Demon King to return, otherwise he would not have proposed to discuss this with the other three elders."

"Yes, there must be a deep meaning behind Xiao Yu's move. Maybe he has other plans. He may want to join forces with the other three elders to prevent the Demon King from being reborn." Yuan Ze said in a deep voice with a shrewd look in his eyes.

"Great Elder, if that's the case, should we choose to join them, or..." Sang Zi looked at Yuan Ze tentatively. If they didn't join, after the four of them worked together to stop the Demon King from being reborn, would they turn their guns against the Great Elder and divide his power?

Or it could be said that the four of them tried their best to invite the Demon King back to the demon world. Once the Demon King returned to the demon world, the Great Elder would definitely become a lone wolf, spurned by all the demons and not tolerated by the demon world.

"The current situation is still unclear, and the elders have not made a clear statement, so we should not act rashly. Moreover, the four elders may not be able to reach a consensus, and they all have their own ulterior motives. The only thing we can do now is to wait for the opportunity and observe their movements." Yuan Ze shook his head slightly and analyzed calmly.

"What the Great Elder said is absolutely right. I understand." Sang Zi bowed and said.

"Remember, from now on, send someone to closely monitor the Fifth Elder's whereabouts, and pay attention to the movements of the other three elders. If you find any abnormal situation, report it to me immediately. In addition, strengthen the monitoring of the Demon King's rebirth trajectory."

Sang Zi took the order and left. Yuan Ze sat alone in the hall, gazing deeply into the distance, lost in deep thought...

Yunji Villa...

The sun is shining, the sky is as clear and blue as a gem, and the sunlight shines on the silver snow, reflecting a dazzling light.

It was the day of the three-yearly disciple selection competition held at Yunji Mountain Villa. This grand event attracted countless young talents to participate, all of whom had aspirations and aspirations for the path of cultivating immortals.

A total of thirty-seven disciples stood out after the preliminary selection by the Divine Mirror a few days ago.

These disciples came from different backgrounds, including six children of private merchant families, seventeen sons and daughters of official families, seven unknown independent cultivators, and five children of ordinary people with excellent qualifications.

It is worth mentioning that the current emperor of Xinyue Kingdom, Jin Xuan, is also among them.

In addition, there was an unexpected person - Zi Yan. She was a maid at Yunji Villa and the last disciple to be selected, bringing the total number of people who passed the preliminary selection to exactly thirty-seven.

However, this was just the beginning, because today, before they could officially become disciples of Yunji Villa, they still had to face two key tests.

The first stage is to test their physical strength. Therefore, all the selected candidates must climb to the top of Danxia Peak on foot within one day, carrying heavy objects on their backs. And they are not allowed to cast any spells or secret arts during the whole process. Only by passing this test can they truly enter the next stage of selection.

As the competition began, 37 contestants set out on their mountaineering journey. They carried heavy bags filled with sandbags made of special materials, and heavy sandbags were tied under their feet.

They moved step by step towards the towering Danxia Peak. The scenery along the way was picturesque, and the snow scene was even more charming. But no one stopped to watch. They were concentrating on climbing the mountain road.

Some people are panting and sweating; others are walking steadily and with a firm gaze. Every step is a challenge to one's physical strength and perseverance, and also a solid step towards one's dream.

During the climb, some contestants encountered difficulties and their steps gradually became heavy, but they did not give up, but encouraged each other and overcame the difficulties together.

Among them was Jin Xuan, who had accompanied Zi Yan at first. But now Zi Yan no longer felt grateful to him, and instead groped her way forward in frustration.

"Miss Zi Yan, didn't you swear before that you wanted to cultivate immortality? Why are you so unhappy now that you have the chance?" Jin Xuan asked the half-dead Yu Xiaobai with his teeth bared, while walking and panting.

"I don't want to cultivate immortality, I want to win without doing anything. It's so tiring, I'd rather go back and be a dog..." Yu Xiaobai looked at Jin Xuan with a dying look and complained.

At this moment, she was carrying sandbags on her back and tied to her feet. If this happened in modern times, it would be considered employing child labor and exploiting labor.

She has been living a life of luxury all her life, when did she ever need to work so hard? To participate in that kind of competition?

It was all because of that bad girl Zi Yan, who had hurt her so badly. She had to come here to do hard labor and climb the mountain with heavy loads despite the wound on her forehead. She didn't want to come at first, but she couldn't resist Sa Yulong's tyranny.

People brought her here just to see her make fools of herself.

She thought that since she was already here, she might as well try her best for Zi Yan and climb the mountain! She should get through the current difficulties first, maybe she could get it back in the future.

"God? Bodhisattva? Why did I have such thoughts just now? Instead of being a good person, I want to go back and be a dog?" Yu Xiaobai was frightened by his own thoughts. He was really a hopeless person.

"Miss Zi Yan, I won't wait for you. I want to be the first. You take your time!" After saying this, Jin Xuan rushed forward regardless of everything. His swaying appearance made him look like a stupid big penguin.

"Haha...ah..." Yu Xiaobai was about to make fun of Jin Xuan when he fell flat on his face.

"I can't get up! I can't get up!" With heavy objects on her body and weights on her feet, Yu Xiaobai struggled several times but couldn't get up. The sandbags on her body were also cast into a spell and couldn't be taken off at all. She simply lay on her side in the snow and shouted leisurely.

"A beast is a beast, haha..." Sa Yulong covered her mouth and chuckled.

What was reflected in the Ningguang Mirror was the teleportation scene of each contestant during the competition.

Those who watched this scene were the head of Yunji Mountain Villa, the elders, high-ranking people such as Lan Moqiu, and all the disciples in the villa.

"Why is Zi Yan's behavior so different from a few days ago?"

"Yes, that day she clearly knelt down and begged the owner to give her a chance. Why is she showing such a negative attitude today?" someone asked puzzledly.

"She is also the only one who can form a bond with the mirror and shine with colorful light." Another person exclaimed.

"Could it be that she couldn't bear the hardship today and wanted to give up?" someone speculated.

"It's such a pity to waste this immortal opportunity..." people sighed.

Yu Xiaobai's performance caused everyone to feel very sorry, and they were all guessing why she was like that.

However, what they didn't know was that Yu Xiaobai had simply fallen down, and was too weak to stand up and move forward.

As for why she was so weak, it was because Sa Yulong had not wanted to let her eat enough in the past two days. She was not only exhausted, but also starving.

Everyone who passed by her looked at her with contempt and spoke mocking words.

"So what if you have a connection with the magic mirror? Such a stupid person actually wants to practice Taoism?" A mocking voice came from behind him.
