The question was asked so cautiously that the tears welling up in Liu Lanyan's eyes could no longer be held back and rolled down her cheeks.
Upon seeing Liu Lanyan crying, Mo Yun frantically searched his bosom for a handkerchief, but Liu Lanyan simply couldn't stop crying.
Especially after thinking about the pain Mo Yun had endured in the Realm of Despair, she couldn't help but cry uncontrollably.
Seeing Liu Lanyan's tear-streaked face, Mo Yun didn't bother to find a handkerchief. He placed his hands on Liu Lanyan's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.
He gently kissed away all the tears on Liu Lanyan's face, tenderly stroking her cheek with his lips, and murmured hoarsely, "Lanyan, don't cry, don't cry..."
"You idiot!" Liu Lanyan couldn't help but scold him. How could he be so reckless?
"Yes, yes, I'm an idiot." Mo Yun completely went along with Liu Lanyan's words. Seeing her tears, his heart ached, even more than when he was in the Realm of Despair.
The Demon Emperor stared speechlessly at Liu Lanyan and Mo Yun, who seemed oblivious to everyone else, as if a row of crows were flying overhead in perfect unison.
Can someone tell him if the man there is the same demon god who unleashed terrifying power just now?
Is the contrast really that big?
Mo Yun's words made Liu Lanyan burst into laughter, but she immediately stopped herself and looked at Mo Yun with concern: "Are you alright?"
"Of course not." Mo Yun's heart finally settled down when he saw that Liu Lanyan had stopped crying.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" A cry of surprise broke the quiet of the winter night, and Mo Yun turned his head to look at the somewhat hysterical Venerable.
Mo Yun, with one arm around Liu Lanyan, looked at the Venerable One and said, "The so-called rumors about the hour of Hai are nothing more than something I myself spread."
"You..." Mo Yun's words almost made the Venerable One vomit blood.
"Actually, there's a reason for the hour of Hai (9-11 PM)." Mo Yun's words salvaged the Venerable One's nerves, which were on the verge of collapse.
However, before the Venerable One could catch his breath, he was almost infuriated by Mo Yun's next words: "At the hour of Hai (9-11 PM), I always have to suppress the power I cultivate in the Domain of Despair."
“Normally, I don’t use my power easily at this time, for fear of not being able to control it. So, at Hai hour, I am indeed somewhat ‘weak’.” Mo Yun said so casually.
However, the Venerable One was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. His internal organs were already injured, and upon hearing Mo Yun's words, he was so enraged that he vomited blood.
Seeing the Venerable One's appearance, Mo Yun acted as if he hadn't seen him cough up blood, and said with gratitude, "I must thank the Venerable One for choosing this particular time."
It was intentional!
Liu Lanyan was certain that Mo Yun did it on purpose!
That's terrible.
Liu Lanyan lowered her head and smiled faintly; however, she liked it.
Mo Yun naturally wouldn't bother with those Three Realms warriors who were stunned.
Those people from the Three Realms are there; he has to deal with them thoroughly.
He lowered his head and whispered in Liu Lanyan's ear, "Lanyan, wait for me to come back."
“Okay.” Liu Lanyan nodded without any objection.
Mo Yun leaped into the air, floating in mid-air. The snowflakes grew denser, and Mo Yun's white hair seemed to blend into the swirling snowflakes, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Mo Yun looked at the people of the Three Realms, his gaze turned cold, and with a wave of his hand, the Venerable One, Yu Lijing, and the Demon Emperor were immediately sent flying uncontrollably into the air.
Mo Yun looked at the three of them, still smiling gently, but that elegant smile was colder than the swirling snowflakes around him.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
The outcome is already clear, and there's no point in trying to resist.
The Venerable One glared at Mo Yun with hatred and gritted his teeth, saying, "Back then, we shouldn't have cooperated with Yu Lijing. She's more trouble than she's worth."
Even at this point, the Venerable One still showed no sign of reflection and remained steadfast in her "beliefs." So, what reason did Mo Yun have to show mercy?
"I think it would be better for you to become a celestial soul in the celestial realm." After Mo Yun finished speaking, without even looking at what he was doing, the Venerable's body suddenly stiffened, and then he collapsed.
He did not use his strength to support the Venerable One's body any further, and watched her fall straight down.
Mo Yun stared at the corpse with icy eyes, devoid of any emotion.
Just as the Venerable One's body was about to fall and break, the heavily injured Confucian Venerable suddenly lunged forward and caught the Venerable One's body, only to be knocked to the ground again by the force of the fall.
Seeing this, Liu Lanyan frowned in the distance, suddenly thought of something, and looked up at Mo Yun.
Mo Yun had just told her to wait for him, but she had something she wanted to ask him.
The moment Liu Lanyan looked over, Mo Yun immediately sensed it, exchanged a glance with her, and immediately saw the longing in her eyes. He nodded with a smile.
Seeing Liu Lanyan fly to Ru Zun and the others, Mo Yun was not worried.
They're all seriously injured, what's there to be afraid of?
As for that materialized immortal soul, it had long since turned to ashes and been blown away to who knows where; even its original immortal soul had been scattered.
Mo Yun never leaves any loose ends when he does things.
Liu Lanyan landed near the Confucian Master, looked at him, and asked with certainty, "You knew about these things, didn't you?"
Knowing all of His Majesty's plans, knowing how she was persecuting her, he didn't warn her at all.
“I know,” the Confucian Master said in a deep voice. “She went to great lengths for the Immortal Realm, but… she went astray, and by the time I discovered it, it was too late to stop her.”
"So, you just let her do whatever she wants?" Liu Lanyan stared at Ru Zun in disbelief. They were both from the Immortal Realm, and they were also fellow disciples. How could Ru Zun do this?
“This way she can be happy. She can be happy, so why not do it?” the Confucian scholar murmured softly, speaking with a voice that was both weak and firm.
Liu Lanyan's eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "You...you..."
It can't be what she thinks, can it?
The Confucian scholar gave a bitter smile: "None of it matters anymore."
"Since she cares so much about the Immortal Realm, this is essentially destroying it. Is this her true intention?" Liu Lanyan couldn't understand why the Confucian Venerable would allow the Venerable to act recklessly.
The Confucian Master smiled, but his expression was so sorrowful and heartbreaking: "The Immortal Realm will be alright, my senior brother is still here."
"Celestial Venerable?" Liu Lanyan thought about the Celestial Venerable's personality; he didn't seem like someone who could manage the Immortal Realm well.
"Do you know why the Venerable One can so easily know about things in the Immortal Realm?" the Confucian Venerable suddenly asked.
He hadn't intended to wait for Liu Lanyan's answer, and slowly revealed his own: "Celestial Venerable, Senior Brother must be one of the Venerable Lord's people. Perhaps there's been some kind of deal."
Liu Lanyan's eyes widened in shock; this news was too horrifying.
"Senior brother has been trying his best to dissuade the Immortal Realm from attacking the Demon Realm, probably because of some deal he made with the Lord back then. I don't know the specifics, but I know that senior brother is trying to protect the Immortal Realm. Therefore, I think the Lord will feel at ease leaving the Immortal Realm in his care."
The Confucian Venerable sensed the fluctuations of the soul within the corpse of the Venerable One in his arms, reached out and touched it, directly collecting the immortal soul that had just flown out.
In this way, His Majesty's soul will not dissipate, and he will still have time to do some things.
"Lanyan, regarding the past, Her Majesty didn't actually intend to kill you. As for you, she didn't initially intend to kill you..." As the Confucian Master spoke, it was unclear whether he was telling Liu Lanyan what he knew for some reason.
"Her attack on Mo Yun was no different from killing me. The pursuers from the Immortal Realm torment an ordinary human..." Liu Lanyan closed her eyes in pain, then opened them again, her mind clear. "Have you ever experienced the feeling of your heart being shattered into pieces?"
“I understand.” The Confucian Master lowered his head, picked up the Venerable One’s body, and without looking at Liu Lanyan, said in a low but sincere voice, “Lanyan, I’m sorry.”
He knew that saying sorry wouldn't change anything, but he still had to say it.
It was he who said it, and it was also on behalf of His Majesty.
However, he knew that Liu Lanyan would not accept it.
Because from beginning to end, Liu Lanyan never called them "senior brother" or "senior sister" again. She had truly been reborn and had no connection with her previous life whatsoever.
Without waiting for Liu Lanyan to say anything, the Confucian Venerable knew he wouldn't be able to wait. After turning around, he stopped and didn't leave immediately. Instead, he said, "Actually, the Venerable is still a soft-hearted person. Please thank him for me."
After saying that, the Confucian scholar said nothing more and dragged his badly injured body away.
He was going to find a place to bury the Venerable One's body and slowly nurture the Venerable One's immortal soul.
The immortal soul did not dissipate, but it was severely injured. In other words, the Venerable One's immortal soul was conscious, but had no memories.
From this, he could see that although the demon god hated them to the bone, he still showed them mercy.
The Venerable One's soul was not completely destroyed. Otherwise, with the power of the Demon God, such a terrifying physical immortal soul could be completely destroyed. Why would it be necessary to destroy the Venerable One's soul?
Therefore, he wanted to thank the Demon God, even though he knew that the Demon God was doing so because of Liu Lanyan.
Even if Liu Lanyan is a reincarnation, even if she hates the immortal realm.
The demon god still cared about Liu Lanyan's feelings. If he really killed her former relatives, she would eventually feel uncomfortable.
That's why the demon god made that choice.
It was just a momentary lapse in judgment that turned everyone into enemies.
However, everything is now resolved.
He will spend the rest of his life accompanying the Venerable One, so that she, who has forgotten her identity, can live a happier and more carefree life, and not be so stubborn anymore.
He will stay with her for a very long time, and perhaps, like Lan Yan and the Demon God, they can live a simple and carefree life.
Liu Lanyan watched their retreating figures, feeling nothing.
I just feel like a problem on my mind has been completely resolved, and I feel relieved.
She flew back silently and waited quietly for Mo Yun.
Mo Yun's gaze fell on Yu Lijing, who was already unconscious. Dying in a coma is also a kind of happiness, isn't it?
Before Mo Yun could make a move, the Demon Lord suddenly rushed up.
Already severely injured, he forcibly used his strength to fly up, which naturally aggravated his injuries.
Barely floating in front of Mo Yun, the Demon Lord looked at Mo Yun and said, "Lord, I am now the Lord of the Demon Realm."
The Demon Lord's meaning was quite clear: since Mo Yun wanted revenge, then he should be killed and Yu Lijing released.
Mo Yun smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Do you think I can't distinguish between enemies?"
"Even if the Lord doesn't intervene, she might not survive. And even if she does, her mind won't be clear..."
"What if she's perfectly clear-headed?" Mo Yun interrupted the Demon Lord, asking casually.
"I will imprison her in this forbidden area, never to leave her side for eternity." The Demon Lord looked directly into Mo Yun's eyes. "I will use my life to gain power."
"If I fail to do so, the Lord can come and take our lives at any time," the Demon Lord said in a deep voice.
Mo Yun smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay."
The Demon Lord bowed deeply to Mo Yun, picked up Yu Lijing, and lowered her down.
After waking Yu Xinyi from her unconscious state and briefly explaining the situation, the Demon Lord said, "Xinyi, the Demon Realm will depend on you from now on."
