The legendary Ring of Beiming was lying quietly in a wooden box, being slowly passed around in the hands of several teenagers.
Feng Huo didn't want to look at it again because he had experienced being bewitched by this demon in Nanzhe City. And the same is true for Ouyang Hongye now. Even if he only heard its voice once, he could not forget the itch that was evoked by feathers in his heart.
According to Min Endong's analysis, although the highest recorded temperature that humans can create is 510 million degrees, it is impossible to reach such a high temperature with the equipment currently on hand. Therefore, if you want to melt this demon world, you must throw it into the gap leading to the black fire purgatory, and only Xia Qiu can do this.
But before taking it to the gap in the Black Fire Purgatory, she must also accept the test from her inner demons.
Ouyang Hongye explained to them: "The magic power of this ring, as we now know, is that no matter who it appears in front of, it can instantly see through the strongest desire deep in your soul, and control you by realizing the desire in the illusion. consciousness.”
The four teenagers said nothing after hearing this. They just stared blankly at the magic ring, and their eyes gradually became empty. Ouyang Hongye guessed that the ring should have started to take action again, but if they wanted them to be able to successfully protect it, Xia Qiu arrives at the Black Fire Purgatory and destroys it. This is obviously the only way to go.
Qian Qi had never seen any metal with such beautiful color and crystal clear luster. He couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it. Perhaps because dragons and Pixiu are both mythical beasts from the deep sea, he is the first to resonate with them among several people.
"I can see what you are thinking. You like the human girl next to you, right? But what should I do? That girl is destined to be with the Lord of the Demon World. Unless...unless you become the Lord of the Demon World, and this does not mean Nothing is impossible!”
Qian Qi's eyes were filled with darkness, and he shouted into the air: "What are you talking about? Who are you?"
"I am the Ring of the North Ming, or you can say that I am the remaining thought of Pixiu. Your father and I are both ancient mythical beasts from the deep sea, older and nobler than any species on this continent. Why do you want to Are you willing to be the subject of the Demon King Fox and grovel under him? Your father gave up the perfect opportunity to become the master of the demon world or even the three realms. If he was willing to give it a try, then your mother might be saved! "
"Stop it, I won't be deceived by you!" Qianqi didn't know how this monster knew about him, his father, and even his mother.
"Your heart has obviously been shaken, why are you blocking your desires? Don't you want that human girl? If she stays with the Demon King Fox all the time, her life will eventually disappear, and that day is not far away If you don’t believe me, just wait until the moment comes when you will be overwhelmed by regret. By then you will regret it, but you have already missed the opportunity to save her. "
Qian Qi hesitated for a while, but when he thought of the danger Xia Qiu might face, he couldn't help but ask: "Life disappears? Tell me what's going on?"
"When you find the last link of the Qi Lie Formation and attempt to destroy it, you will encounter an unprecedented dangerous situation. And for the Demon King Fox, this human girl will eventually choose to sacrifice herself, because she is the one who breaks the Qi Lie Formation The key is, there is only so much I can tell you, believe it or not!"
Qian Qi began to struggle in his heart. He was doubtful about Beiming's Ring's words, but he could not ignore the danger that Xia Qiu might encounter. He knew Xia Qiu, and if she had to sacrifice herself to completely destroy the Qi Lie Formation, she would definitely do that.
When Mucheng faced the powerful opponent Lan Snake Xizhen, her courage without fear of life and death was clearly revealed. In particular, he knew clearly in his heart how deep her feelings were for Ouyang Xiaoleng, and how much self-sacrifice she would make for that guy.
What should he do? To change Xia Qiu's fate and become a slave of the Ring of Beiming? He suddenly thought of Blue Snake Xizhen and her lover Cang Emperor. The current situation is so similar to their previous situation. Xia Qiu will definitely make the same choice as Cang Emperor. Although they are not lovers, he is her best friend and partner.
"If I listen to you, it will only make her sad! And that is exactly what I will never do!" Qianqi made the final choice.
"You will regret it, you will regret it..."
The Lord of the Rings kept repeating these words, but the voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared.
When Ling Yu came to his senses again, he had returned to Chilemir Underground City. The city was brightly lit and the scene was peaceful, no different from what he was familiar with in his memory.
He habitually walked straight back to Paradise on Fengyue Street. Two new faces greeted him at the door. He was dressed in men's clothing at this time, so they mistook him for a guest, nodded and bowed to him, and smiled charmingly. He went in.
But he ignored them and broke away from their entanglement. When I came to the counter, fortunately, the proprietress Zeng Niang was still here.
"Mother Sturgeon!" Lingyu shouted with a smile.
"Ling Yu, it's you! I haven't seen you for such a long time. Where have you been?" Behind the counter, an old woman with heavy makeup looked up from her account book and stared at it for a long time before she recognized Ling Yu.
"It's hard to explain... Where's Leng Ai?" Ling Yu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and then asked.
Lady Sturgeon's eyes turned red when she heard Leng Ai's name, and she choked and said, "Not long after you disappeared, City Lord Salamander's men came here to find out, saying that Leng Ai was harboring felons from the demon world. Leng Ai, that kid In order not to implicate us, he took all the blame alone, and then... she was taken away by Salamander's men, and later... "
In the past, when Ling Yu was around, Lady Sturgeon often bullied Leng Ai, often making her do the hardest and most tiring work without giving her enough to eat. In fact, at the last moment, Leng Ai could have taken revenge on her and Paradise and pushed the whole thing onto them, but this little girl who values love and justice did not do that. Thinking that the innocent and kind-hearted Leng Ai had such a tragic ending, Lady Sturgeon was so choked up that she could not speak.
"What happened next?" Ling Yu reached out and grabbed her arm and asked, shaking it.
"Leng Ang couldn't bear the humiliation by the little demons under Salamander and committed suicide..."
Ling Yu felt a surge of anger rushing to the top of his head, followed by heart-wrenching sadness and regret. No matter how many times he was beaten and scolded, that thin Leng Ai would still smile when he took the food he handed her. She doesn't like fireworks so much that even in this fireworks alley, she is like a little lotus that emerges from the mud but remains unstained. If he hadn't insisted on her helping the shadow brother out of loyalty, why would she have died tragically.
The picture in front of him gradually became blurry, and the people and scenery around him disappeared, leaving only darkness.
"This is the consequence of your wrong choice back then. You know it clearly in your heart, so why are you still indifferent? Are you really hard-hearted?" The cold and angry voice echoed in the empty darkness, hitting him word by word. Heart.
"Leng Ai? Leng Ai, I..." Ling Yu tried to find the trace of Leng Ai in the darkness, but what he could reach out to hold was only the cold air.
"If I could give you a choice, would you choose to save me? Leave these people around you, turn back time, and return to Chilemir. We will be the same as before!"
"Is it possible? How can I do it?"
"Take the Ring of Beiming and don't let that human girl take it to the Black Fire Purgatory. As long as you have it, you can save me!"
Ling Yu struggled fiercely in his heart. If it weren't for him, Leng Ai would have spent his life peacefully in the Paradise of Paradise. It is also very likely that one day I will save enough money to leave there and gain the freedom to travel to the outside world. Anyway, the life of a demon can last for hundreds of thousands of years. But a cold and angry smile suddenly appeared in his mind. She smiled and shook her head at him. Although she didn't say a word, he understood her thoughts.
"Leng Ai will never hurt anyone to protect herself. I know her very well. You monster, don't even think about lying to me!"
He yelled and was brought back to reality.
The sound of fireworks came from outside the house, and through the black window lattice, the quiet moonlit night was illuminated by fireworks. Ouyang Xiaoleng turned around and saw Xia Qiu sitting at the round table in front of him and the baby in her arms, and suddenly fell into a trance.
Taking a closer look, it was not Xia Qiu, but a woman with a very similar temperament to her. She was humming a lullaby and patting the baby in her arms, with a motherly smile on her face. Any man would be attracted by this scene. I think Ouyang Xiaoleng was also impressed.
He found that he could not control his body and walked to her side. He stretched out his hand to play with the baby's cute little face, which was as cute as the full moon. The baby stretched out its little hand to him and made a squeaking sound. Everything was so warm. harmonious.
After a burst of rapid footsteps, the door was pushed open violently. Ouyang Xiaoleng turned around and saw that it was Ouyang Hongye. He had never been so reckless. Something big must have happened.
Ouyang Hongye's clothes were stained with blood, and his body seemed to be injured in many places. He held the door and gasped, shouting: "Xueye, take Susu and leave quickly! We were sneak attacked by Qingyun!"
"What did you say? How is it possible?"
Ouyang Hongye looked outside the gate, turned back and urged: "I don't know how they broke into the royal city. They have been ambushing all over the royal city. The fireworks seem to be their secret code... It's too late, you and Su Su Take Xiao Leng and leave quickly! My brothers and I can hold on for a while, but we won’t be able to hold on for long! Let’s go back to Ouyang’s ancient residence first and think about the long term!”
The sounds of fighting could be heard outside. Qingyun and many of his generals took the royal city by surprise in several directions. This day was New Year's Eve, and Ouyang Xiaoleng had just turned one full moon. Unexpectedly, Qingyun launched an attack without warning, and there was still an ambush, and they cooperated inside and outside.
Ouyang Xiaoleng finally understood that at this moment, he was watching everything that happened that night sixteen years ago through the perspective of his father Ouyang Xueye.
Ouyang Xueye looked back at Ran Susu behind him. Ran Susu was worthy of being a lover and blood pact partner who was connected to him. She immediately understood what he was thinking. There was determination in her eyes and she nodded to him.
"Hongye, I leave Xiao Leng to you! He is my son and the only bloodline of the Demon King Fox! Please let him live no matter what, Su Su and I thank you in advance!"
Ouyang Xueye bowed deeply to Ouyang Hongye, asking the Lord of the Demon Realm to salute him. How could Ouyang Hongye bear it, but as his good brother who shared life and death, he understood his choice. With Ouyang Xueye's character, how could he ignore the demon world and escape alone
Ouyang Hongye took the baby handed over by Ran Susu. She touched her son's little face again, and then smiled at Ouyang Hongye with tears in her eyes. That was the last look she ever made engraved in his memory.
"Xueye, Susu, don't worry! Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely save Xiao Leng!"
Ouyang Hongye knew that there could be no further delay, so he tied Ouyang Xiaoleng tightly into the clothes on his chest, nodded to Ouyang Xueye and Ran Susu, and rushed out.
He fled all the way, using his body as a shield to protect the sleeping baby in his arms, waving the flames in his hands, and knocking down enemies one after another.
Whether he is a comrade or an enemy, no one will stop him if he falls. This is his promise to Ouyang Xueye and Ran Susu. Ouyang Xiaoleng is like the immortal hope of the demon world, and he must keep this fire of hope alive.
