"That can't be right."
People inside the royal city were talking about it, their hearts filled with unease.
Yu Xinyi, who remained in his residence, acted as if nothing had happened, leisurely painting with a brush in his study, as if the turmoil had never occurred.
He was probably the most leisurely person in the entire royal city.
Fortunately, his leisurely pace was confined to his own residence and was not witnessed by others.
Just as the people in the royal city were in a state of panic and on the verge of losing control, Yu Jinshuo on the city wall revealed a triumphant smile. The time had finally come. Now was the time for him to establish his authority and defeat the demon god in one fell swoop.
Yu Jinshuo suddenly soared into the sky, flying into the air, and said loudly to the people inside the royal city, "Don't worry..."
I'm here for you.
Before those three crucial words could even be uttered, a series of gasps erupted from the ground beneath our feet—or perhaps cheers would be a more accurate description.
"Look, what's that?"
"Wow, that's amazing!"
The cheers below made Yu Jinshuo look up, only to see what looked like a meteor shower falling from above.
Brilliant rays of light slid down from the inky black night sky, numerous and dense, all aimed at the rapidly spreading sea of fire.
The bright light shone into the blazing sea of fire, and the fierce flames seemed to have met their nemesis, extinguishing the flames instantly wherever they touched the light.
Yu Jinshuo forgot his original purpose, his mouth wide open, his eyes wide, staring in disbelief at the spectacular scene before him.
A beautiful light appeared from the dark night sky, glided quickly, leaving a long, dazzling tail of light behind it, and then rushed to the sea of fire, annihilating the crimson expanse.
If the sea of fire just now lit up half of the night sky, then this sudden meteor shower illuminated the entire night.
Just as everyone was captivated by the magnificent spectacle in mid-air, suddenly, a refreshing azure light rose from the forbidden area.
The cool, light blue, like a clear sea, dispels the darkness of the sky and dyes everything in the world a refreshing light blue.
There was no fluctuation of power, no sense of any formidable energy, but within that elegant blue hue, like a secluded orchid in a valley, the blazing sea of fire, the raging inferno, subsided and vanished.
Without any violent collision of forces, without any earth-shaking tremors, the sea of fire that could turn massive rocks to ashes vanished into thin air.
The world was filled with a serene blue, a blue that soothes the soul.
The anxiety and restlessness I felt earlier were all soothed by the relaxing blue sky, making me feel as if I were in the fresh air of nature, exceptionally comfortable.
It's like returning to the very origin of life—the ocean.
It's a kind of unrestrained comfort.
Those far away in the royal city were all captivated by this feeling, not to mention the people in the forbidden area.
While they weren't quite as lost as the people in the royal city, they were all dumbfounded as they stared at everything before them.
Liu Lanyan, who seemed not to belong to this world, floated in mid-air, her fingers forming hand seals in front of her, her eyes slightly closed, as serene as a celestial maiden.
In that instant, they could not sense Liu Lanyan's presence at all; all around her was nothingness.
They could clearly see Liu Lanyan standing in front of them, yet they couldn't sense her presence at all. At that moment, they had a very deep realization—they and Liu Lanyan were from completely different worlds.
Pure blue light gathered at Liu Lanyan's fingertips. The fresh, rich, and unadulterated blue light made them feel a powerful force.
Inside the forbidden area, all was quiet. The strange woman's voice never rang out again, as if it had never existed.
It was quiet and peaceful, so quiet that it was comfortable, but not strange.
This is a kind of tranquility that can cleanse the soul, or what can be called serenity.
As the last trace of scorching heat subsided, Liu Lanyan slowly opened her eyes. In that instant, everyone felt as if their souls were being sucked in.
Those clear eyes shimmered with light, so pure that one wanted to be deeply captivated, lost in that pure gaze, never to awaken again.
Liu Lanyan looked at the Demon God, who immediately came to his senses and instructed, "Demon Lord, the matter of sealing the forbidden area is entrusted to you."
The Demon God's words brought the Demon Lord back to his senses. He quickly composed himself and cursed inwardly. He was actually controlled by Liu Lanyan's power; it was truly terrifying.
"Alright, Your Majesty, rest assured, the forbidden area will be sealed off immediately." The Demon Lord nodded in agreement.
The demon god looked at King Luan, whose face was extremely ugly. He had already witnessed the power of the forbidden area. If it really attacked him, he probably wouldn't even have the ability to resist and would have no choice but to turn around and run away.
Only in this way can one possibly save their life.
"Won't the King of Luan tell anyone about this?" the Demon God asked. At first glance, it sounded like a suggestion, but upon closer inspection, it was an unquestionable command.
The Prince of Luan's lips moved, but how was he supposed to answer?
Does that mean he won't tell anyone?
Who would believe that?
Do you believe in demon gods?
Does Liu Lanyan believe it?
If they don't believe him, isn't he doomed?
Is he going to tell anyone?
Is he out of his mind?
He's asking for it.
The demon god clearly realized Luan Wang's predicament and kindly said, "You can find Qin Ming's mastermind as soon as possible."
King Luan was no fool; upon hearing the demon god's words, he immediately understood their meaning.
The two are exchanged.
He kept Liu Lanyan's secret, so the Demon God stopped making a fuss about Qin Ming. Otherwise, Qin Ming's matter could very well have become the fuse for war between the demon and monster realms.
The demon god was already hinting to him that Qin Ming's mastermind was just someone to hand over, as long as there was someone to explain.
How could the King of Luan refuse such a good deal? So he quickly nodded and said, "I understand Your Majesty's meaning. Please rest assured."
King Luan's answer pleased the demon god greatly.
The Demon God glanced at the situation around the forbidden area, then his gaze fell on the Demon Lord. He didn't speak, but the Demon Lord already understood what the Demon God meant: "Rest assured, Your Majesty, the rest will be handled properly. We will absolutely not allow any accidents to happen in the Demon Realm."
Hearing the Demon Lord's assurance, the Demon God nodded in satisfaction, went over, put his arm around Liu Lanyan's waist, and left.
They didn't leave to return to the palace, but headed straight for the Dustless Palace.
It was only at this moment that Peng Zhen came to his senses and hurriedly followed behind.
Watching the three people disappear quickly, Luan Wang felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
What was he thinking just now?
They also wanted to find an opportunity to capture Liu Lanyan to threaten the Demon God.
He's so stupid, utterly foolish.
Judging from Liu Lanyan's power, she is practically on par with the Demon God.
Thinking back on Liu Lanyan's past words and actions, the Prince of Luan felt even more uneasy.
Just now, when the fireball suddenly exploded, the Demon God hadn't even made a move yet, but Liu Lanyan made her move directly.
With the power of a demon god, how could he not be able to deal with that power?
The answer is obvious: it can definitely be dealt with.
But why did Liu Lanyan make a move?
Was it because Liu Lanyan had already sensed his intentions, so her move at this moment wasn't to show anything, but rather to demonstrate something to him?
Tell him directly that it's simply impossible for him to make a move on her.
It seems this trip to the demon realm was truly worthwhile. We witnessed the terrifying power of the demon god and realized that Liu Lanyan, who was by the demon god's side, was someone we couldn't afford to offend.
Back in the Demon Realm, we must give those who are stirring up trouble in the Demon Realm a good talking-to. Don't think that just because the Demon God has been silent for a thousand years and hasn't made a move, we can forget about him.
As time passed, those people deluded themselves into thinking that the demon god was not as powerful as the legends suggested. Reality, however, told them that the demon god's cultivation was probably even more terrifying than it had been a thousand years ago.
King Luan returned to his temporary residence in the palace, feeling uneasy and somewhat disoriented. He was deeply shocked by what had happened that night and was filled with anxiety and uncertainty.
The flustered Prince Luan failed to realize that tonight's events not only affected him but also caused complicated feelings among others.
Chapter 92 Complex State of Mind
As the Demon God and Liu Lanyan left, the pure and elegant blue slowly receded like the tide.
The people in the royal city finally came to their senses, and bursts of cheers and screams erupted, as if they were venting their excitement at surviving the ordeal.
It was as if they were using these shouts to confirm that they were still alive.
In short, the royal city was noisy, with all sorts of sounds mixed together, making one's ears ring and creating a chaotic and inexplicable sense of irritation.
However, the soldiers guarding the capital did not stop the noisy people, but simply maintained the necessary order and let them go home in an orderly manner.
As long as there is no chaos or overcrowding, those excited survivors are allowed to vent their emotions freely.
Even the soldiers maintaining order had smiles on their faces; they were human too, and they were afraid of dying.
The crowd continued shouting and laughing, acting crazy, speaking different languages, and discussing the terrifying power they had just witnessed.
But the two words they used most often were "Lord".
It was the Lord who turned the tide at the last moment; it was the Lord who saved them once again.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Everyone was calling out this title.
It was so dangerous just now. It was precisely because of that extreme closeness to death that they came to appreciate the greatness of their Lord even more.
