About half an hour later, Qiongqi came back. She landed lightly on the ground, looking very contented, and holding a person in her hand.
The man was wrapped in a black robe, his hands were tied, he was struggling violently, and then rolled to the ground.
"Why are you arresting me? Let me go!" The man was a man with a hooked nose and messy and dirty hair. He looked up and stared at Luo Jinxiao, cursing loudly.
"So fast." Luo Jinxiao said to herself. She stood up, walked to the man, and half-knelt in front of him.
As Luo Jinxiao approached, the man suddenly felt fear from the bottom of his heart, so he shut up awkwardly.
"Where did you catch him?" Luo Jinxiao asked.
"The foot of the mountain." Qiongqi replied.
Luo Jinxiao nodded, and suddenly took out Wu Jue, put it against the man's throat, and asked calmly: "What are you doing near Wu Hui Sect?"
The man kept his mouth shut.
Luo Jinxiao twisted the sword, and the sharp blade immediately cut a wound on his neck. Black demonic energy overflowed from the wound. The man felt pain and begged for mercy loudly.
Luo Jinxiao stopped and said lazily: "If you don't want to die, answer honestly."
"I, I'm just here to follow orders. I'm staying nearby to observe the movements of the Wuhui Sect. I didn't kill anyone, nor did I do anything bad. Don't kill me." The man tried his best to hide backwards, trying to stay away from Luo Jinxiao's sword.
"Who ordered it?"
The man looked around with a sly look, and when he saw that he couldn't escape, he replied with a bitter face: "It's the order from above. I'm just a little demon who just transformed. Please let me go."
Luo Jinxiao looked at him, his thoughts turned, and asked again: "Where is the entrance to the demon world?"
"This... the entrance to the demon world is very heavily guarded. You can't get in."
Luo Jinxiao was too lazy to talk nonsense, and continued to push the sword upwards. The man began to howl like a pig being slaughtered: "I, I, I, I will take you there, don't kill me!"
After getting the answer, Luo Jinxiao put away Wu Jue and signaled Qiongqi to continue tying him up.
Lu Fanzhi, who was standing by, looked at Luo Jinxiao with her mouth wide open. She came over and asked cautiously, "You want to enter the demon world?"
Luo Jinxiao nodded and shook off the dirt on the sword.
"The demon world is so dangerous, how about I go with you?" Lu Fanzhi asked worriedly.
Luo Jinxiao shook her head. She planned to sneak into the demon world to see if Qu Weiyin was like the rumors said. It would be most convenient for her to go alone.
"I'll leave tomorrow. You and Yan Ying help take care of Luo Ning." Luo Jinxiao said as he put away his sword.
"Why so sudden? You just came back, and if you go to the Demon Realm, what if you see..." Lu Fanzhi stopped talking halfway.
Luo Jinxiao knew what she wanted to say, but did not answer and went back to the sect master's bamboo house.
"Where has your master been for the past three years? Why does his temperament seem to have changed drastically?" Lu Fanzhi stared at Luo Jinxiao's back, then turned around and whispered to Qiongqi.
The room was quiet. The sect leader sat aside, quietly watching Yan Ying feed Luo Ning medicine.
Her eyes were full of tenderness, as if she saw her past self through many years.
"I don't want to drink it anymore." Luo Ning's face wrinkled up because of the bitterness and she pushed Yan Ying's hand away, "Why does it taste so strong?"
"Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup. You're weak, it's time to replenish yourself." Yanying said cheerfully.
Luo Jinxiao stood outside the door and watched for a long time before walking over to the sect master and sitting down.
"You're back." The sect leader said with a smile.
"Well, I plan to leave tomorrow and go to the demon world." Luo Jinxiao said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the Sect Master raised his long eyelashes and asked in surprise, "Why are you going to the Demon Realm? Are you going to look for her?"
Luo Jinxiao didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
The sect leader had words on her lips, but in the end she hesitated and didn't speak. She sighed softly and placed her cold fingers on Luo Jinxiao's shoulders.
"I know she doesn't remember me." Luo Jinxiao said calmly, "But I still have to go and see, right? What if..."
"Okay, but you'd better be more agile. If you encounter danger, just crush this." The sect leader handed a spirit stone to her.
"I know you are now a god, and your strength must be far beyond mine, but after all, everything is subject to change. It must be difficult for you to kill Qu Weiyin."
"Thank you, Master." Luo Jinxiao smiled.
The sect leader stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to tidy up Luo Jinxiao's hair, but his hand stopped in mid-air.
After a while, he withdrew his hand and pretended nothing had happened.
"We'll wait for you to come back."
Luo Jinxiao didn't know how to get along with others, so he didn't say goodbye to Luo Ning and his fellow disciples, and left Wuhui Sect that night with Qiongqi.
Then, following the guidance of the captured monster, they headed south to Luyang Island.
Compared with the prosperity that Luo Jinxiao saw last time, Luyangzhou is now in a state of chaos. The streets are sparsely populated. It is midsummer, but the scene is bleak. When the wind blows, it stirs up a cloud of dust and dirt.
The common people suffered greatly from the chaos. Ordinary women and children did not dare to go out. They were able to survive only because of the protection and relief from nearby sects.
Only a few brave mortals would occasionally pass by, but they were all in a hurry and did not dare to stay too late.
Luo Jinxiao stood beside the long street for a while and suddenly felt that everything and everyone had changed.
The last time she came here, she was full of joy, waiting to see Qu Weiyin. This time, although she was also looking for Qu Weiyin, her mood was very different.
She asked the monster and learned that the entrance to the demon world would only open at night, so she planned to stay here for a few more hours and began to look for a shop that was not closed so that she could rest.
After walking almost the entire long street, I finally found a teahouse on the corner. It was also very desolate, with only a few people sitting inside, and you could tell at a glance that they were cultivators.
Come to think of it, without knowing some magic, who would dare to leisurely drink tea at this time.
Luo Jinxiao found a seat by the window, drinking tea while listening to the whispered conversation of the people next to him.
"What do you think we should do? We have been wandering around here for two days, and we haven't seen any of the Young Master or even his followers. Could they have really been captured by the demons?"
"It's hard to say. I've already sent someone back to report to the Sect Leader. Now we can only wait. What kind of place is the Demon Realm? If we go in, there's no way we'll survive. I just hope that the Young Sect Leader will be blessed and nothing will happen to him."
Young Master? Luo Jinxiao turned the teacup in his hand. Tang Lan'er couldn't be so unlucky, could she? She was captured and taken to the demon world last time. Could it be that there would be a second time
However, the people who were talking were dressed in ordinary clothes and it was impossible to tell which sect they belonged to.
Luo Jinxiao suddenly stood up and walked forward and knocked on the edge of the table.
When they heard the voice, they looked up and saw Luo Jinxiao in white. They were really amazed. Seeing that she was a girl, they kindly advised: "Girl, Luyangzhou is not peaceful now. You are from another place, right? You should go home as soon as possible. At worst, find an inn and don't hang around outside."
"Thank you." Luo Jinxiao nodded, and then said, "The young master you just mentioned is..."
"We are from the Baiyue Sect, and our young leader is the famous Tang Lan'er. A few days ago, she said she was bringing people to deliver relief food to Luyang Continent, but she disappeared while delivering the food. We've been looking for her for several days but there's no trace of her." The man said, looking worried and helpless.
Luo Jinxiao withdrew his hand and thought to himself that it was indeed Tang Lan'er.
It seems that after entering the demon world, I have to find time to look for her, but don't let her be eaten by the demons.
It quickly darkened. Several people from the Baiyue Sect packed up their bags and left before the sun set. Before leaving, they did not forget to remind Luo Jinxiao again to leave early.
The owner of the teahouse also began to close the door. The owner was an elderly man. When closing the door, he pounded his waist and said to Luo Jinxiao: "Child, why don't you go home quickly? The sun is about to set. Once it sets, monsters will emerge. Behind this street, people often go missing. You have to be careful!"
Luo Jinxiao thanked him lightly, walked out of the teahouse, turned around and walked towards the street he mentioned.
After passing through several winding alleys, the sun disappeared completely. It was gloomy all around, with cold wind blowing from time to time, which was creepy.
Luo Jinxiao stood alone in the corner, waiting with bated breath.
It seemed that the monster did not lie to her. Soon, a vortex of wind appeared in the middle of the street, like a dark doorway. Countless monsters poured out of it and disappeared into the night sky in an instant, disappearing to no one knew where they were going.
When no more monsters came out, Luo Jinxiao stepped into the whirlpool. The scene in front of her eyes instantly turned upside down. She somersaulted in the air and landed steadily on the desert.
The demon world hadn't changed much from the last time I saw it. The sky was blood red and the ground was barren, with only a few withered grasses lying wilted on the ground.
From time to time, there were gullies several meters wide in front of us, the ground was cracked and full of sand, and occasionally one or two bare hills rose from the ground, and we had to take a detour.
Luo Jinxiao walked all the way to the place where the demonic energy was most abundant. Not long after she walked, a huge building caught her eye. It towered into the blood-red sky. It seemed to be a palace, but the walls were very mottled and covered with cracks. It was both majestic and ancient.
Luo Jinxiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. If she guessed correctly, this was where the Demon Lord was.
Although she slept for three whole years, it must have been very difficult for Qu Weiyin.
She still remembers what Qu Weiyin said: the scenery of the demon world remains unchanged every day and is extremely boring.
I wonder what she has become.
Suddenly, several demons in armor came towards them. Luo Jinxiao subconsciously hid behind a hill. Then she had an idea. A silver-white light surged in her palm and then covered her face.
When he raised his hand again, his originally black eyes had turned brown, and his snow-white skin had also darkened a lot, making his appearance become ordinary, except for his height which remained the same as before.
Her divine power allows her to disguise herself as a demon without revealing any flaws.
Those people had already walked up to her, stepped forward, grabbed her arm and pulled her over.
"Who are you? Have you just transformed?" the leader asked sternly.
Luo Jinxiao pretended to be frightened and nodded his head.
The other person looked her up and down and whispered to the leader, "I think she's OK. The Demon Lord has too high requirements. He doesn't want those who look like demons or those who are ugly. This one has two eyes, a nose, and only one mouth. She's barely acceptable."
"Anyway, the people sent in will die within twenty days, so we can just bring them in to make up the numbers."
The leader rolled his eyes and felt that what he said made sense. He suddenly bared his teeth and said, "You are lucky to be able to go in and serve the Demon Lord. Hurry up and follow us!"
Before Luo Jinxiao could say anything, he felt a darkness before his eyes, and someone followed them into the Demon Palace.
She staggered a few steps to stand firm, then raised her eyes silently to look inside the temple. It was very spacious in there, and her words echoed. She was in the entrance hall, where several girls were standing.
"You, follow them and do whatever they tell you to do. If you dare to run away, just wait for the Demon Lord to strangle you to death." The man in armor pushed Luo Jinxiao hard.
Luo Jinxiao pretended to step forward a few steps, and when he looked back, the person was gone.
The hall was very empty, but there were people in armor guarding the roadside. Luo Jinxiao lined up behind those girls and walked slowly inside with them.
"Hey, were you captured too?" The girl at the end turned around and asked. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were white, and there was a faint demonic aura on her body. It was obvious at a glance that she had also transformed not long ago.
Luo Jinxiao nodded.
"You have to be careful. I heard that the Demon Lord has a bad temper and will drive people away if he is not satisfied. On the contrary, Zuo Wang Yugui is very gentle and kind. If I have the chance, I would like to go to him."
As the girl spoke, peach blossoms seemed to appear in her eyes.
Luo Jinxiao rolled her eyes. When she heard the name Yu Gui, she felt so angry that her teeth itched. When she thought about the fact that Yu Gui had been staying with Qu Weiyin for the past three years, she became even angrier.
The group walked for a long time before finally entering a large hall with more furnishings. Monsters in armor were standing all around, all holding weapons in their hands, looking very imposing.
At the end there was a stone table with some fruits and a pot of wine on it.
"The Demon Lord is coming!" someone whispered, and several girls instantly stood up straight and stood properly.
Luo Jinxiao suddenly raised his head and looked outside the door.
I saw a pair of embroidered shoes with gold thread stretched in from outside the door, stepped lightly on the ground, and then, the long skirt dragged and slid over the threshold, the long sleeves were like the wind, the slender waist was grasped, and the two soft hands hung on both sides.
Someone ran up and held Qu Weiyin's hand, respectfully helping her into the hall. Her skirt swayed with every step, and the red bean necklace on Qu Weiyin's forehead also swayed with it.
Luo Jinxiao stared with his eyes wide open and even forgot to perform his duties politely.
She forced herself to suppress the urgent, irresistible urge to go forward and hug her.
Nothing has changed about Qu Weiyin. She is still dressed in red, with charming eyes and eyebrows. When she raises her head slightly, her phoenix eyes can captivate people.
She slowly walked to the stone table, turned her slender shoulders, threw her skirt behind her, and her eyes fell on Luo Jinxiao.
Luo Jinxiao stared at her closely, never moving his eyes away.
Qu Weiyin looked for a while and suddenly raised her hand. Luo Jinxiao felt a pain on his back, as if a heavy tripod was pressing on him, and he was forced to lower his head and bend over.
Her heart ached because Qu Weiyin's eyes were full of indifference and alienation.
"How come the people this time are so ignorant of the rules?" Qu Weiyin said lightly as she sat down with her sleeves raised.
"Don't you let the Demon Lord choose? If he doesn't like someone, just drive him out." A female voice that sounded a little familiar sounded. Luo Jinxiao was startled and raised his head again.
The person standing next to Qu Weiyin is the disciple she accepted before, whose name is Qingyi.
Now she has changed from her youthful and pure appearance to wearing a light dress and gauze, looking very beautiful.
She is not dead
Luo Jinxiao’s fists hardened.
"Come, Demon Lord, have some tea. This is your favorite." Qingyi bit her lip and smiled, picked up the teacup, and fed it to Qu Weiyin's mouth.
Qu Weiyin subconsciously dodged backwards. She glanced at Qingyi with a hint of disgust in her eyes, but in the end she still opened her mouth and drank.
A sudden surge of rage surged in Luo Jinxiao's heart, endangering the teacup. Just as Qu Weiyin took a sip, the teacup suddenly shattered into powder.
The porcelain powder, along with the tea, spilled all over Qu Weiyin, soaking her clothes.
Qu Weiyin was stunned for a moment, blinked her long eyelashes, and suddenly looked up subconsciously. Luo Jinxiao quickly avoided her sight.
It’s over. I couldn’t help it.
