Just wait, that day is not far off.
Mo Yun...
Mo Yun!
Liu Lanyan suddenly woke up, and the name etched deep into her bones seared her heart.
Yes, how could she forget the person she loved most?
Her beloved… the beloved she had longed for for a thousand years…
She finally remembered everything.
With tears in her eyes, Liu Lanyan looked at the white-clad demon god—no, her Mo Yun—not far ahead. She watched him fight with all his might, keeping all the forces of the Three Realms at bay, and no one could get close to her.
Looking through the attackers from afar, she saw the Demon Lord and the Demon Emperor, as well as... her senior sister from her previous life.
Liu Lanyan slowly narrowed her eyes; they had finally met again.
She is no longer the person she used to be.
It was getting late when Liu Lanyan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Wasn't it almost 9 PM?
hateful!
They had planned it all along.
Knowing that Hai hour (9-11 PM) was unfavorable to Mo Yun, they actually took advantage of that.
good!
very good.
Since they've resorted to any means necessary, then don't blame her for being cold-blooded and ruthless.
Liu Lanyan glanced at Mo Yun, whose movements had slowed down slightly, and then slowly walked forward.
The moment Liu Lanyan moved, the Venerable Ones in the distance immediately noticed. Just as they were wondering what Liu Lanyan was going to do, they suddenly saw her leap into the air and float in mid-air, her feet touching the void.
He glanced coldly at the crowd below, then suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Your Excellency, we meet again."
The sudden sound startled Mo Yun the first. He looked up and saw Liu Lanyan floating in mid-air. He exclaimed, "Lanyan, what are you doing? Come down!"
Just as Mo Yun was distracted, a celestial soul suddenly emerged from behind a celestial warrior and silently attacked Mo Yun.
In the past, such tricks would never have hurt Mo Yun, but now his attention was entirely focused on Liu Lanyan in mid-air.
By the time Mo Yun noticed, the immortal soul was already too close.
Without a second thought, Mo Yun reached out. Even if it meant getting a minor injury, he was determined to destroy this immortal soul.
However, his movements were still a little slow.
He had just raised his hand when he suddenly noticed that the immortal soul attacking him froze, then twisted in pain, as if it were enduring something terrifying.
Looking again, the immortal soul's body was instantly shredded into pieces.
Mo Yun stared in astonishment, then suddenly realized something. He looked up and saw Liu Lanyan floating in mid-air with a murderous expression, her left hand reaching out to grab at the air.
The scattered immortal souls drifted backward, trying to gather and recover in another place.
Liu Lanyan snorted coldly, and without any visible movement, a crimson-black flame suddenly rose from her palm, flashing with a bewitching dark blue light.
Upon seeing such flames, King Luan nearly jumped up in shock, exclaiming in terror, "Demonic Refined Ink Flame?"
"Isn't that the power of our Demon Realm?" King Luan turned his head and asked the Demon Emperor incredulously.
But he found that the Demon Emperor had a gloomy face and didn't say anything, as if he hadn't heard him speak.
When the Demon Emperor saw Liu Lanyan stepping on the void, he understood that the mysterious ghost that the Venerable One had mentioned, who was versed in the power of the three realms, was definitely Liu Lanyan.
"If you want to touch him, you'll have to ask me first!" Liu Lanyan didn't care what others thought. With a flick of her hand, the crimson-black flames in her palm suddenly covered the immortal soul that was trying to recover.
It burst into intense flames in an instant, and nothing else, let alone a celestial soul, would be burned to ashes inside.
From within the crimson flames came the hysterical, shrill screams of the immortal soul, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and even forget to attack.
The screams of the immortal soul were truly terrifying.
They watched helplessly as a powerful immortal soul was reduced to ashes and vanished into nothingness.
Everyone stiffly raised their necks, their gazes all falling on Liu Lanyan in mid-air.
Watching her dress flutter in the wind, watching her gaze as cold as ice, watching her ethereal beauty, like a poppy swaying in the wind.
They all shivered, as if they had offended someone they shouldn't have.
Liu Lanyan exuded a murderous aura, even stronger than that of the demons, as if she were determined to eradicate them completely and wash the three realms in blood!
Liu Lanyan floated in mid-air, looking down coldly at the crowd below.
The firelight flickered in the darkness, occasionally crackling amidst the utter silence, stimulating the already tense nerves of everyone present.
In the flickering light, countless corpses were hidden. The cold winter wind grew stronger, stirring up dust that swirled and swept across the ground.
The scattered tattered fabrics on the ground were rolled up, along with long, lifeless hair, brushing against pale, bloodless faces.
Liu Lanyan didn't bother to calculate how many people had died. She was simply choked by the nauseating smell of blood carried by the cold wind, and frowned in disgust.
Her cold gaze swept over the crowd below, devoid of any warmth. This was a stark contrast to her usual smiling and cunning demeanor, making it difficult for Mo Yun to adjust.
"Lanyan," Mo Yun called softly. He didn't want his woman to become a cold person; such coldness didn't belong to her.
Hearing the familiar voice calling her name, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Liu Lanyan turned her gaze and looked directly at Mo Yun.
The moment Mo Yun met Liu Lanyan's gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine from the coldness in her eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed that Liu Lanyan smiled and raised the corners of her lips at him.
There was not a trace of coldness left in his eyes.
Upon realizing this, Mo Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it wasn't that she had changed as a person, but rather that facing the enemy had stirred up her hatred.
Thank goodness.
Now that she knew Liu Lanyan was alright, Mo Yun refrained from interjecting, as she had her own issues to deal with.
Mo Yun was able to react without any problems, but the people of the Three Realms were filled with mixed feelings.
The Demon Lord had become utterly exasperated by one unexpected event after another.
After learning the true purpose of the Demon God, the Demon Lord's heart was at peace.
This was already the worst-case scenario; even if it got worse, it wouldn't provoke him too much. However, Liu Lanyan was still a little surprised to see such a cold and imposing aura.
As for the Demon Emperor, since he had already vaguely guessed that Liu Lanyan was behind him, he didn't have any particularly strong emotions.
Aside from the stunned soldiers of the Three Realms, the one reacting most intensely was probably only one person – the Celestial Venerable.
"You..." After uttering that one word, the Venerable One couldn't think of anything else to say.
The word was spoken very softly, but it did not escape Liu Lanyan's ears.
Turning her head, Liu Lanyan gazed at the Venerable One from afar, her lips curving into a gentle smile. However, the smile did not reach her eyes, and the gentleness on her face did not soften the icy aura emanating from her.
When Liu Lanyan spoke, her voice was indescribably unfamiliar and chilling, making one shiver: "Your Excellency, it's been a long time."
These six short words contained so much of Liu Lanyan's emotions.
Past lives and present lives.
She trusted the Venerable One so much that she thought she would really grant their wish.
Who would have thought... it would end up like that?
"Are you blaming me?" The Venerable One was not a stupid person. He could tell from Liu Lanyan's reaction that she already had memories of her past life.
Now that we've remembered, let's all speak clearly at once.
Before Liu Lanyan could say anything, the Venerable One snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "How can the Immortal Realm tolerate you messing around with a human man?"
"Yes, the reputation of the Immortal Realm is of utmost importance." Liu Lanyan looked at the Venerable One with a half-smile, showing no sign of anger whatsoever.
Anyone could tell at a glance that Liu Lanyan was being sarcastic or speaking out of anger.
Surprisingly, after hearing this, His Majesty nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, affirming Liu Lanyan's words: "That's right."
The Demon Emperor turned his head in surprise and looked at the Venerable One.
The shock he received from the Venerable One was far greater than that from Liu Lanyan; he truly hadn't realized that such a person existed in the world.
Liu Lanyan was not at all surprised by the Venerable One's reaction.
Two lifetimes have passed, can't she see it clearly?
"Even if you won't grant our wish, and won't let me go, can't you at least let him leave?" Liu Lanyan couldn't help but ask.
She knew what kind of person the Venerable One was, and now she no longer hoped that the Venerable One would grant their wish, just like she had in her previous life.
For the Venerable One, it was absolutely unacceptable for anyone to tarnish the reputation of the Immortal Realm; that was more important than her own life.
Upon hearing Liu Lanyan's words, the Venerable One sneered repeatedly, his gaze sweeping quickly across the Demon God's face before he rebuked in a low voice, "How can someone who damages the reputation of the Immortal Realm be allowed to live?"
"So, it was all part of your plan." Now that Liu Lanyan remembered her past life, she connected the dots and understood everything.
"After Yu Lijin told you about us, you tried to forcibly separate us. You wanted to kill us and completely erase the stain on our immortal realm, didn't you?" Liu Lanyan sneered. She felt as if the cold wind had taken away all the warmth from her body, leaving her cold inside and out, just as icy as the winter night.
"They deliberately messed up the time so I would go, and then they would tell Yu Lijing. You know, with Yu Lijing's personality, she would never let me off the hook. When she wants someone, she wants everything. How could she possibly let Mo Yun still have me in his heart?"
Liu Lanyan said that even without having witnessed everything that happened back then, one could deduce the whole truth through speculation.
She is no longer the foolish woman she was in her past life, easily manipulated and played with.
Upon hearing the name of the Demon God, Yu Lijing trembled and looked at Mo Yun, who stood proudly, with a complicated expression.
Yes, his name...
A name that has caused her pain and obsession for a thousand years...
Yu Lijing's gaze remained fixed on Mo Yun, but Mo Yun paid her no attention whatsoever.
With Mo Yun's abilities, how could he not feel anything when someone was looking at him like that?
Even though he sensed it, he still didn't look over, not even a hint of curiosity or wariness in his gaze.
His entire attention was focused on Liu Lanyan, leaving her no space at all.
While Yu Lijing was completely focused on Mo Yun, she had no idea that the Demon Lord's gaze swept over her, and after meeting her expression, he quickly looked away, as if he had never paid any attention to her at all.
"You said I damaged the reputation of the Immortal Realm, so you could have just killed me. Why did you have to treat us like this?" What angered Liu Lanyan the most was not her death, but something else that she cared about deeply.
