At night in the Upper World, Qu Xuanzi who had just met Huo Yuzheng and the other gods at the boundary of nature, returned to the palace. Although the problem there is almost finished, the repair of the natural barrier takes a very long time to return to normal. It usually takes several years while blocking interference.
Qu Xuanzi was just about to enter the courtyard so suddenly a black shadow flashed with great speed. He halted his steps, seeing the black shadow darting around the palace and disappearing.
Feeling familiarity with the shadow, Qu Xuanzi did not get rid of it, but rather followed. His figure became a golden light that floated in the air like lightning, chasing after the black shadow that reflected the moonlight.
The shadow did not go far from the Sky Palace. It landed onto the ground and formed the figure of a man with silvery hair that was draped. Qu Xuanzi landed a few meters in front of him, looking at him without any expression as if the presence of the red-sliced man was not something to be surprised about.
The current Demon Emperor was no longer in the form of Zhong Guofeng, standing in a black robe that gave off a dangerous impression. His figure that was very similar to Qu Xuanzi looked like a mirror.
"I'm surprised you didn't attack me." The Demon Emperor smiled slightly. Not a happy smile or so, but a cold smile that he used to show to the other rival.
"Why are you here?" Qu Xuanzi was straight to the point. The Demon Emperor could easily come to the Upper World just because he was part of Qu Xuanzi, otherwise the gods would have definitely chased him and there was a huge commotion.
"Aren't you going to visit my little dragon a little?" The Demon Emperor looked at Qu Xuanzi looking indifferent to his words. He also changed the topic of the other party was not provoked. "Yeah, let's just say that's one of the reasons I came here."
"You came because of the Demon God?"
"As we've agreed before, I think that day will come. If the union of the two bloods must use pure energy, then I'd rather be killed in a state controlled by the Demon God, just like that time."
"Why do you think that?"
"If you want to use pure energy for the successful unification of blood, Xie Ruo will have to die."
"No need."
The Demon Emperor tilted his head. "You have other plans?"
"Killing mixed blood, should be done by mixed blood as well. Basically, you shouldn't exist. But Xie Ruo doesn't need to die."
The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out the intent of Qu Xuanzi's words. So Qu Xuanzi would still conduct bloodletting, but Xie Ruo would not die would that not be impossible?
Seeing the Demon Emperor looking puzzled, Qu Xuanzi said, "Just like what the Goddess of Light wants right now, borrow and return."
The Demon Emperor seemed to understand something, but his face instead showed shock, then chuckled. "Are you serious?"
"It's the only way." Qu Xuanzi had been thinking about it all this time. Now, he was just hoping, he would not need to use the pooling of blood to exterminate the Demon God.
"Your Majesty the Celestial Emperor, aren't you afraid that he hates you? I won't face it, but you." The Demon Emperor pointed at Qu Xuanzi directly.
"That's better."
Rather than sacrificing Xie Ruo, he better take another step. Although the success rate was small, he could only bet. Because as long as there was a Demon God, Xie Ruo was not safe, he had to do his best to get rid of the danger so as not to be able to touch Xie Ruo.
Naturally, Xie Ruo did not need to know what was on his mind right now. If he knew, the woman would definitely not let him be and choose a more extreme path outside of his plan.
The Demon Emperor said in a sneering tone, "Indeed we are basically the same." If he was in Qu Xuanzi's position, he would choose the same path.
"You know what you want, is there anything else?" Qu Xuanzi intended to expel.
"I just felt weird, all of a sudden we made a deal together for a human being. We're always at war, this is the last time."
"If things aren't urgent, I've been killing you a long time." If the Demon Emperor died, his demonic power would be lost and could not carry out the pooling of blood to kill the Demon God. Had there been no Demon God, or not gotten a message from the God World, he had already killed the Demon Emperor since finding him misleading Xie Ruo in the Underworld.
The Demon Emperor shook his shoulders indifferently. He left without saying anything else. His figure turned into a black shadow, hovering in the air and shrinking over time until it disappeared under the night moon. There was no trace, as if he had never been in this place.
Qu Xuanzi sighed after seeing the departure of the Demon Emperor. As for what would happen later, he had already prepared it. As long as Xie Ruo was fine, he would do anything.
He went inside the palace and saw Xie Ruo. Inside the moonlit dark room, the woman slept soundly in a sideways position, looking very calm and peaceful compared to before.
"I already have an answer, but don't have the courage to express it directly." He rubbed Xie Ruo's head gently, his originally constantly cold and flat gaze now warmed up. "If anything happens, I won't not fulfill your request, but I will take another path, releasing you from danger at all costs. As long as you're okay, I don't have any other requests."
Qu Xuanzi kissed Xie Ruo's forehead for a while, then slept while hugging Xie Ruo who was behind him.
There was no reaction whatsoever, but after a while, Xie Ruo opened his eyes.
His heart asked, what path will Qu Xuanzi take?
When his soul wanders in the shadows, observing without being able to reach out or find anything in solitude, can he escape from it all?
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The rising sun brings light to a world ravaged by great chaos. A black shadow emerged from the sky, streaking at high speed through the many demons and monsters roaming about.
Every shadow passes, there is always death. Demons just died, monsters running around full of fear. The aura of death and fear whack the demons in that place where the black shadow flashed.
Until finally a golden light appeared on the surface, stopping right in front of the oncoming black shadow. The figure of light made the black shadow have to stop, bringing up the figure of a handsome man wrapped in a plain and inconspicuous black robe.
"Devil Emperor, is this our first meeting?" Shu Xin smiled widely. It is true as rumored. Celestial Emperor and Demon Emperor were very similar like the same person—though logically it was indeed the same person.
The Demon Emperor looked at Shu Xin with a cold look. This woman who wants to kill the little dragon and his son. Unfortunately, there was a Demon God behind him that made the woman difficult to kill. He was upset to remember it.
"You look like Asura, I don't even need to confirm your identity. So, you must know what offers I've given you. If I'm willing, I'm still willing to give way."
"Who are you?" The Demon Emperor looked at him with annoyance, as if looking at a strange and annoying woman.
"You can't possibly remember me." Shu Xin chuckled.
"If you make me remember you, I'm afraid all your offers will go to waste."
Shu Xin's smile turned cold. "Is it because of the man?"
The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes. "Aren't you just human now? You were born as a human without inheriting the blood of the Dragon God."
"But pure energy is mine. You know, there's always a balance of nature that's awake. But sometimes someone messes with the balance of nature."
"Unfortunately, pure energy is no longer yours. In your hands, pure energy will only make you an idiot. Be thankful that someone pulled you out of your body and freed you indirectly." The Demon Emperor smiled coldly. His sharp speech made Shu Xin very furious, but still tried to hold him back.
"Well, I'll show you that I'm the true owner of pure energy. Didn't you guys approach that brat just because of pure energy? I'll make it useless."
"Do as you please." The Demon Emperor shook his shoulders indifferently. He was too lazy to talk to a stubborn woman other than his little dragon. Although that face was similar to Xie Ruo when he became 'Xie Ran', it still felt different.
"You challenging?" Shu Xin smiled obliquely.
"If I win, you'll have to kill yourself." The Kaisara of the Devil replied without regard to his own words.
"If I win, I don't promise to keep your little dragon alive." Shu Xin seemed to have a plan, but it was not revealed directly.
The Demon Emperor no longer cared. He was about to leave, but suddenly something stopped him and turned to look at Shu Xin.
The woman simply put on her beautiful smile, then her hand took out an object with a striking red glow. It was in the form of a stiff wooden doll, but it had a blood-red color that made its appearance terrible.
The Demon Emperor's premonition went bad. He looked at the wooden puppet vigilantly, then looked at Shu Xin coldly. "You have it?"
It was an object that the Demon God used as a means of controlling his body and giving a hard blow to Qu Xuanzi during the war in the past, a soul controlling puppet.
Shu Xin chuckled. "What's interesting? It seems like I can play around a little bit with a Demon Emperor now. You wanna try?"
