Chapter 458 Gathering
The Blood Demon Lord stood frozen in place.
A hole appeared between his eyebrows, and blood mist exploded on his back. The demonic energy hissed and dissipated like a deflated balloon.
"impossible……"
He looked down at his chest, his face filled with disbelief.
"How could ordinary iron possibly harm me..."
Before the words were even finished, the demon's body shattered with a deafening roar, turning into a shower of black dust.
The whole place was dead silent.
Everyone stared blankly at Zhao Si.
Zhao Si remained expressionless, put away his gun, turned around, and walked straight to the small crystal cauldron, reaching out to take it.
"stop!"
Xuan Yu Taizu stepped in front of him, his expression solemn.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"Why meddle in mortal affairs?"
The Golden Phoenix Emperor descended, his feather fan waving lightly, a chill emanating from it.
Zhao Si didn't even lift his eyelids: "Get out of the way."
Xuan Yu Taizu stepped forward, refusing to yield an inch.
"I am deeply grateful for your assistance, but interfering in the mortal realm and disrupting its order is a grave taboo in the immortal realm!"
"Once the Taixu Sect finds out, you will surely be held accountable!"
Zhao Si finally raised his eyes, his gaze as cold as ice.
"Finished?"
He slowly raised the shotgun, its dark muzzle aimed at the forehead of Emperor Xuanyu.
"I must take the young master back."
"Anyone who dares to stop me will die."
Emperor Xuanyu's Adam's apple bobbed.
The weapon emitted no spiritual energy fluctuations, yet it exuded an extremely dangerous aura; even the Blood Demon Lord couldn't withstand a single blow from it...
He gritted his teeth and forced himself to speak:
"Lu Yuguan is already dead, what else do you want to do!?"
"He's not dead."
"I have a way to save him."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Zhao Si ignored Xuan Yu, walked past him, and reached out to take the small cauldron.
"senior!"
Li Chongjiu knelt down with a thud, his voice choked with sobs: "Please... can you save my imperial brother?"
Jiang Cong also came over and grinned:
"Could you please have some compassion and give those two a ride too?"
"Buy one get one free... Oh, three free!"
Zhao Si remained silent for a moment, then reached out and grabbed at the air. The three corpses suddenly turned into three points of light and flew into his palm.
"This……"
Xuan Yu Taizu's pupils contracted, and Jin Luan Taizu also showed a look of surprise.
Such methods are simply unheard of!
Zhao Si closed his hands, said no more, took a step, and his figure disappeared on the spot like ripples on water.
It came suddenly.
They left decisively.
Jiang Cong scratched his head and muttered under his breath:
"Depend on!"
"They didn't even give me a heads-up before logging off. This NPC is way too aloof!"
Xuan Yu Taizu and Jin Luan Taizu exchanged a glance, their expressions solemn.
"This matter must be reported to the Celestial Realm."
The Golden Phoenix Ancestor nodded: "Intervention across realms is indeed no small matter..."
Emperor Xuanyu sighed, turned to look at Jiang Cong, his gaze complex.
"The original plan was to lead Lu Yuguan to deceive the Heavenly Dao..."
"Now their fate is unknown..."
He sighed.
"You brat, would you like to come with me to the Immortal Realm?"
Jiang Cong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up!
"Fairy world?"
"Oh my god, old man, are you really that kind?"
"Are they going to kill me halfway through?"
Xuan Yu Taizu's lips twitched.
"going or not?"
"go with!"
Jiang Cong beamed and patted Xuan Yu Taizu on the shoulder: "Old man, you're a true friend. I'll protect you from now on!"
Xuanyu Taizu: "..."
……
The first year of Jinhua.
May.
Former Emperor Li Ping fell into demonic ways and was attacked by a group of cultivators, eventually dying in the capital.
Crown Prince Li Chonglin has disappeared without a trace.
The Ninth Prince ascended the throne and established the reign title Jinhua.
The extraterrestrial demons continue to wreak havoc, with attacks occurring across the continent. All sects and factions mobilize to eradicate the demons.
……
fairyland.
Taixu Sect.
Taixu Palace.
Li Ziming sat upright on the jade platform, his face as pale as paper, with fine beads of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
The demonic energy from beyond the realm is raging ever more rampant.
As the one bound to the Taixu Mirror, he is connected to the barrier of the Immortal Realm; if one is damaged, the other will be damaged as well.
"cough……"
Another surge of energy and blood rushed through him.
Li Ziming forced down the blood in his throat, his face turning extremely pale.
"Ming'er!"
Jin Xiaoxiao rushed forward, her eyes filled with anxiety, "We can't keep pushing ourselves!"
He caught Li Ziming's swaying body.
"Let me go!"
"I'm going to the boundary to kill those demons!"
Li Ziming slowly shook his head.
"No."
“The demonic cultivators from beyond the realm are no ordinary beings. If you go there alone, it will be tantamount to suicide.”
Jin Xiaoxiao was so anxious that her tail wagged wildly.
"But if you continue like this..."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Ziming forced a smile and patted the back of his hand.
"In thousands of years, you've been my only friend. How can I bear to see you take risks?"
Jin Xiaoxiao felt a lump in her throat and turned her head away.
Li Ziming gazed at the surging sea of clouds outside the hall, his eyes dim.
"Just one step away..."
"We've already found out Lu Yuguan's whereabouts, so why hasn't Senior Xuanyu returned yet?"
The words have not yet fallen.
A rough voice then rang out.
"how?"
"Who's talking about me behind my back?"
As he muttered to himself, Emperor Xuanyu strode into the hall.
"senior!"
Li Ziming's eyes lit up, and he forced himself to sit up.
"Lu Yuguan, he..."
Xuan Yu Taizu waved his hand to interrupt, scratched his head, and looked conflicted.
"I have two pieces of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Jin Xiaoxiao's lips twitched: "What are you still arguing about? Let's get down to business!"
Emperor Xuanyu sighed.
"First……"
"That brat Lu Yuguan's physical body has collapsed and his soul has been scattered."
"What!?"
Li Ziming shuddered violently, his vision went black, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
Jin Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped him up, and angrily turned to glare at Xuan Yu.
"Speak clearly!"
"How could his soul have been completely scattered!?"
Xuan Yu Taizu helplessly spread his hands and recounted what had happened in the lower realm.
"However, a mysterious old man intervened, took away his belongings, and said he had a way to save him."
Upon hearing this, Li Ziming's face finally regained its color.
"really?"
"Would I lie to you?"
Xuan Yu Taizu pursed his lips, then frowned: "But there's also bad news..."
As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted towards the outside of the hall.
"Don't just stand there!"
"Come in!"
Outside the palace gate.
Jiang Cong peeked out.
"Hello?"
Is anyone home?
Jin Xiaoxiao froze.
Li Ziming was stunned.
Jiang Cong grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"What?"
"Don't you recognize me?"
"You...you...you...you!!!"
"Jiang Cong!?"
Jiang Cong chuckled: "Surprised? Unexpected? I've come to find you!"
Jin Xiaoxiao rushed forward and hugged him tightly, her voice choked with sobs.
"Fuck!"
"You idiot!"
Li Ziming staggered forward, his eyes red-rimmed, and punched Jiang Cong on the shoulder: "What are you doing here? Don't you know it's dangerous here!?"
The three embraced tightly, tears streaming down their faces, and the loneliness of thousands of years finally dissipated.
Xuan Yu Taizu smacked his lips.
"have to."
"This is going to be quite lively."
After the group finished their reflections, Jiang Cong seemed to remember something and quickly opened the backpack he was carrying.
It's a hot pot set meal from Qianhua Lao!
"hot pot!"
Holy crap! It's still tomato broth!?
Jin Xiaoxiao smelled the fragrance and asked in confusion, "Where did you get this? How could there be something like this in the lower realm?"
Jiang Cong remained silent for a long time.
"Stop asking."
"It's all thanks to Guan'er."
