A mist appeared forming a tall male figure in a place. The handsome man in all-white clothes with his cold face walked through the deserted academy building without being known of his whereabouts.
Upon seeing the black figure that appeared not far from him being, he immediately disguised himself. Right after, another 5 black fogs appeared at the same time forming a black-robed figure covering the head.
"Bao Jun, long time no see." One of the robed figures greeted a handsome man who had just shown himself. His luxurious clothes were covered in black robes so that they were disguised.
"What brought you here? You know what this place is?" Bao Jun spoke with sarcasm. There was no respect or courtesy between them.
"Huli Dong'er is dead, you should have known that. It concerns the rise of the Demon Emperor and the duties of the Seven Demon Lords."
"Huli Dong'er died for his own mistakes. If only he hadn't been careless to be known to man, he wouldn't have died horribly." Yu Zainan clearly remembered what she had heard that day. Huli Dong'er tries to contact her, but their communication is cut off once Huli Dong'er dies.
"You know how Huli Dong'er died? I thought, it might be related to something that can't be explained."
"We didn't just come together to talk about Huli Dong'er's death. There's something more important." One of the robed figures had a beautiful female voice, yet his face was perfectly covered. Just leaving her sexy red lips teasing.
"Huai Mao, I don't think you'll focus on continuing to deal with that stupid human being." One of the Devils sneered.
"The Azure Dragon is in human hands, we must speed up the search immediately before getting back up. If the Azure Dragon rises and restores its intelligence, not necessarily we can control it."
"I heard your man died at the hands of a human girl. It was embarrassing plus the girl who stole the Azure Dragon. You still have a face talking about the Azure Dragon quest?"
"In Yushi!"
"Enough!" Huan Mao immediately paused the debate. He sighed. "I found something a few months ago, you guys are gonna have a hard time believing it."
"What did you find other than taking care of that idiot?" Di Yushi sneered.
Huai Mao ignored Di Yushi's sneer and continued, "The divine existence of the Celestial Emperor and the Demon Emperor together. I thought, he's back even though it feels faint. But I've had his attack once."
"You mean ... The Demon Emperor has returned?" Qi Jiao was surprised. The appearance of a Demon Emperor at a time like this, not knowing what was bad or good because the conditions were uncertain and could destroy them together.
"I'm not sure yet. Her whereabouts are hard to trace and I'm sure she was here a while ago. But now it's gone. The condition of the Demon Emperor is uncertain, we must be careful. For the reason, you know for yourself." Huai Mao looked agitated.
"If so, then we don't need the Azure Dragon to replace His Majesty's body. Just one...." Bao Jun remembered. "Pure energy."
"Pure energy...." Huai Mao thought hard. "It seems I've found it."
"Tell me where he is!" The five demons were immediately excited. Not only were humans desiring pure Energy, demons could also benefit from it.
After giving it some thought, Huai Mao started to remember and only realized something.
"Huai Mao, don't tell me you killed him. I know, you've always been considerate of that weak little girl. What's he?" At Yushi guess.
Huai Mao felt his body tense considering what he had done. "Yes .. I killed him."
"You!"
"I'm sure he's not dead!" Huai Mao immediately tried to calm those demons. It could be bad if they went berserk and killed him just because of a girl.
"How can you be sure?"
"I make sure with my life, he's not dead yet."
"Then where is he?"
"That's... I don't know... But I'm sure he's done something right now. He pretended to be stupid yet he was very cunning but also careless. I'll find it easy." Huai Mao tried to calm down and stared at them sharply. "If I find him, don't touch him."
One of the Devils laughed. "I know you only want to please the Demon Emperor. Thousands of years you've approached her, and in the end you'll have to marry a lowly human."
"Shut up!" Huai Mao was angry and used his power to attack the Devil until his head covering was opened due to dodging. Looked at his handsome face. "Xiao Haozu, if you don't keep your word, I swear I'll make you eat hellhounds."
Xiao Haozu snorted. "Smuggled. If the Demon Emperor likes you, you won't become a subordinate of the Seven Demon Lords. Even the Demon Emperor won't remember who you are."
"You!"
"Huai Mao, Xiao Haozu! This is not a fighting arena!" Bao Jun was annoyed. If they made a fuss, his identity would be revealed soon.
"Xiao Haozu, you better keep your attitude if you don't want to fared like Huli Dong'er." Yu Zainan advised, but also sneered.
"Huli Dong'er's death is a warning. We need to be careful about what is around us. If you get caught, leave immediately. Don't get found by her." Qi Jiao gave a proper suggestion. He already suspected Huli Dong'er's death was a warning to them. They should be vigilant.
"If he had been here before, he would have found me sooner or later." Bao Jun was starting to worry. He's not ready to be beheaded like Huli Dong'er.
"The tournament is about to begin, just like the party at the Palace, the tournament this time, I'm sure someone will uncover Bao Jun. Some of us have to be there to watch it. If it's the same girl or whoever it is, arrest her and kill her." Qi Jao immediately made a plan. He was the strongest and was in the underworld to monitor them simultaneously.
"Good!"
"I think, if it was the same girl, it would be better to catch her first to check on her. Fearfully, he is that boy," Huai Mao said.
"You're right, then adjust to your plan." Qi Jao agreed. Other than her, Huai Mao was the strongest and had many advantages in terms of spying.
"Good." Huai Mao smiled obliquely at his blood red lips before finally disappearing followed by another.
Right after the departure of those 6 demons, a figure that was originally only air began to give rise to its true form. His handsome face was seen accompanied by a cold look and horrifying red eyes.
It was Qu Xuanzi. When he heard Xie Ran being taken by the floor, he was so angry that he wanted to kill those Devils without any residue. But if he killed him now, his stepping stone would also be gone and it was in vain. After all, Xie Ran would be happier if that girl killed him.
After his red eyes blackened back the mark had eased his anger, several shadows darted swiftly and stopped behind him while kneeling. They were initially hesitant when they saw how angry the man was, but since it had subsided even a little, they dared to show up.
They spoke together in a firm voice. "Honor Your Majesty!"
"Why are you here?" Qu Xuanzi was still in his cold tone without turning his head towards them. Without even looking at it he already knew who the group behind him was.
"Your Majesty, after hundreds of years we have found His Majesty. There are some things to say, but they are waiting for His Majesty's approval." One of them answered carefully. Not knowing what his superior had passed, whenever it could change, he did not want to get into unnecessary trouble.
"Say!" Qu Xuanzi wasn't much of a pleasantries.
These people were the incarnations of monsters that he trained himself for thousands of years. They were well versed with Qu Xuanzi's temperament and would not be much of a ramble. Even they did not congratulate Qu Xuanzi on returning, it was because they knew Qu Xuanzi did not like that useless sentence and chose to say it inwardly.
"The Seven Demon Lords' hands have been scattered to various directions. One of them was in the palace, but was dead. The rest were in Tianshang Academy, South Sea, Shuiyang City, Zichen City, and the Ancient Dragon Tomb. We have also discovered some of His Majesty's powers that were split apart in several separate places. The borders of the lower realms had also opened up so many demons filled the continent. Please Your Majesty take immediate action."
"I already know. Is there any more?"
"About the talk of the Seven Demon Lords' minions earlier, His Majesty already knew about it. We'll be looking for the owner of pure Energy soon."
"Good!"
The human-shaped spirit beasts went away like lightning without leaving a trace. All this time they had ventured to find Qu Xuanzi and awaken his strength. They also avoid the Devil knowing their remaining existence. Qu Xuanzi left them in this Continent when destruction came to do what he commanded, they would work hard to return to their hometowns as well as their homes.
Qu Xuanzi returned to the city without traveling far. When he arrived, he saw that Xie Ran was no longer on the roof but was trying to walk back to the pavilion.
Xie Ran drank with Zhong Xiaorong too much. Zhong Xiaorong left first before because the still conscious Xie Ran wanted to be alone first when the men picked up. As a result, Xie Ran was alone now because of the hardness of his head did not want to go home.
Xie Ran was still trying to be conscious and trying to walk. He had already vomited several times before due to mostly drinking. He was tired and just wanted to come back.
His hands supported the heavy body on the wall and leaned there while walking. His legs felt so limp that it was difficult to move. But he did not regret drinking too much. At least, his mood improved.
When the portion of the wall ran out, Xie Ran caught the empty air and fell down. Not falling to the ground, but rather falling into Qu Xuanzi's embrace and holding him back from kissing the ground.
"Xuanzi, is that you?" As soon as he felt a warm and comfortable embrace, Xie Ran fell asleep just like that after a long time of struggling desperately.
Qu Xuanzi stroked her hair and grabbed her legs to hold her. Looking at Xie Ran, his mood got better after a long period of anger due to the demons.
From a distance, several black figures pecked at the rare sight before him until their eyes did not blink until Qu Xuanzi disappeared. They're not even breathing.
The shock did not last long when one of them broke a tree branch due to body weight and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"You dropped His Majesty's reputation by falling from the tree." The figure immediately descended from the tree following the figure who was complaining of pain from falling.
"Blame that stupid twig!" The figure that fell was grumbling while rubbing his buttocks that became a victim.
"You are stupid! How old were you until you repeatedly fell from a tree!" The figure knocked his head furious.
"I was surprised, so it just fell. This is the first time seeing His Majesty with a woman. Aren't the women who approached her usually killed?" The figure spoke without a burden while taking off his mask lazily. It was his shining and childish face.
"Right, I was surprised too," he murmured. "Ranging from my brother's birth, having children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, His Majesty is still alone in the Palace."
"You're alone too." The handsome man scoffed.
"I was born when my granddaughter was born! I haven't had a chance to know a woman in all this time." Who told His Majesty to be so strict in training that he could not skip out for fun. "Therefore, the important thing is that we find the fact that His Majesty has changed and that His Majesty's rumors are not normally broken. I'm moved...." He put on a moved face that made his partner sick.
"You're saying Your Majesty isn't normal, want to lose which part? The head? A heart? Or ... You want me to help you get the animal core out?"
"No! I was just surprised, that's all. Don't tell His Majesty. My flock still needs me." The handsome man immediately curled up in fear and stroked his friend's feet.
The masked man snorted. Where did the legendary red moon wolf come from? All he saw was a stupid dog that was still immature even though he was thousands of years old. I really want him to kick this crazy dog.
"Li Chen, Dou Dou, are you guys lacking in employment?" A beautiful woman all in black appeared with a sharp look and her hands ruffled her waist to see her stupid partner who acted.
"Ann Rou, Li Chen is bullying me!" The Dou Dou who had just been struggling immediately stood up straight and pitted.
"You are less of a job. Your Majesty has been found, we continue what we should do, do not brag!" Ann Rou stared at him ferociously making Dou Dou Shudder.
"Ann Rou, you'll definitely be happy with this news."
"What?" Ann Rou said lazily and vexedly. Gone is all the time just because of this crazy dog.
"I just saw His Majesty together with the woman. Unlike usual, she is very romantic!"
Ann Rou looked at him full of surprise. "Is His Majesty possessed by a Demon Emperor? How fate? Why not help that man! You know anyone you meet will die, why don't you help a little! Poor little poor little sister, she must be a student here and still want to learn...."
He started again, Li Chen was already berga with this atmosphere. Neither Dou Dou nor Ann Rou, always excited by every news regarding His Majesty. Last time when Her Majesty was rumored to be abnormal, Ann Rou cried all day because her beloved master was not normal and hit anyone who disturbed her. As for Dou Dou, the mad dog was already like a firecracker in the Palace. It was fortunate that their heads were still intact because His Majesty had no idea.
"Ann Rou, don't overdo it. Nothing bad happens." Li Chen tried to calm down. If Ann Rou was not a species with her, or at least Ann Rou was some kind of rat or deer, she had been eating it since the very beginning of the encounter.
"really? Nothing bad? Lastly that stupid Huai Mao annoyed His Majesty, he was lucky to be saved by one of the Seven Damn Demon Lords whom I so desperately wanted to make scratching toys. Unfortunately, the goddamn demon that cut my tail is still alive." Ann Rou was still very upset to remember it. Her lovely pet tail was cut so short as a rabbit. It was fortunate that it had now grown back or else he would completely finish off Huai Mao's tail as well.
"Talking about Huai Mao, it seems like he will be playing with His Majesty again." Li Chen remembered very well how the Devil had infiltrated and harassed His Majesty to the point of near death.
"Ha! I can't wait to pluck out his tail that's always been proud of! No need to dirty His Majesty's hands with his blood." Ann Rou has a grudge against the demon. Just a hell cat, he as a revered three-tailed ice cat would step on it many times until it sank into the bowels of the earth.
"I know where Huai Mao is. He was looking for pure Energy to please the Demon Emperor, what if it messed up?" Dou Dou suddenly gave a suggestion that made Ann Rou's sharp eyes flash with a sly smile.
"No need to be told, I also already know from the aroma. My precious little toy, wait for me~" Ann Rou just disappeared following Huai Mao to her place in excitement. Previously he could not do anything to the demon as it was still on a search mission. Now he was free enough to take revenge.
Seeing Ann Rou's departure, Li Chen stared at the Dou Dou full of demands. "Why did you lure him?"
Dou Dou nodded. "So there's a friend. Look, who originally said we had no job. He himself is looking for trouble with the devil."
Li Chen narrowed his eyes irritated at the treatment of the mad dog. "I'm right to complain to you."
And sure enough, Ann Rou chased after Huai Mao at lightning speed like a shadow and struck him like a lightning bolt.
Huai Mao was pushed back a few meters and immediately dodged back when a bright and cold blue light appeared to grab him.
The black cloak detached would instantly let Huai Mao soar through the air and land on the ground quietly. His cat-like red iris stared at the woman several meters in front of him sharply.
"Little ice cat, it turns out you're still alive and recovering your tail." Huai Mao smiled obliquely seeing the 3 tail of Ann Rou lit up on his back like a ghost then disappear.
"Hmph! This time I'll pluck out my tail and feather to bald!" Ann Rou was acting arrogant. He had improved over the past hundreds of years and he would not lose any more to this demonic beast.
"You're just an orphaned cat that doesn't have a home, can it compare to me?"
"I don't have a home, but I have a master who cares about me. Not you who married a human and had a child. Oh, my gosh, I can't think of what it would be like if they knew they'd been tricked by a demon cat for years. You Devils, live disguised as human beings and say that you are human. Unlike me, I'm a saint animal not necessarily mingling with humans to gain trust." Ann Rou said the truth, sacred animals are always revered and revered as a symbol of a god that should not be offended. Unlike the demonic animals that become a threat and are always killed.
"You!" Huai Mao hated the fact she had married that weak human. Somehow this mischievous cat knew about it and was made a scorn. He married to get the highest position he was building. Not for anything else!
Ann Rou was getting more and more excited about gossiping about that demonic woman. "Do you think, the Demon Emperor will really accept you? I even doubt that he will look at you even if you have given him pure Energy. You will only end up with the Demon King and become his loyal subordinate for the second time."
Dark purple rays appeared to attack Ann Rou with high pressure so Ann Rou had to dodge quickly. A single beam of light was likely able to split a human in a single slash, but not with Ann Rou who kept her devious smile full of vigor.
As soon as Ann Rou was about to take out her ice blade, a black mist appeared blocking the view along with the sand that entered her eyes. Ann Rou immediately darted quickly and normalized her sight, but Huai Mao had already disappeared like she was swallowed by fog.
"Little cat, ask your master not to be found."
Huai Mao's voice echoed along with the disappearance of the fog. Ann Rou clucked violently and flicked her arm after not feeling the woman's existence anymore.
"Huai Mao, you coward! I'll pull out all your feathers and tail! I'll sell you into animal captivity as an albino cat!"
