As the power below surged, the Demon Emperor finally shifted his gaze from the man's face to the foot of the mountain, where he was utterly astonished by what he saw.
The fierce battle below the mountain suddenly ceased with the appearance of more than a dozen dark figures.
Instead of persuasion, they used force to obstruct.
Even ordinary soldiers are quite capable; who would lead a bunch of incompetents into battle when the Three Realms are in chaos?
A dozen or so people actually managed to take on the massive army of the Three Realms?
What kind of strength is this?
Could it be that the power in the previous duel was... given to him?
The Demon Emperor stared in astonishment at the white-robed man who had suddenly appeared. He watched as the man floated in mid-air like a god, with a gentle smile on his face. He seemed as harmless and warm as jade, yet the Demon Emperor felt a strange sense of danger.
What happened next?
That was a scene the Demon Emperor would never forget.
As the ethereal man lightly raised his finger, what did he see?
crimson!
A crimson power emanated from the man, like a raging fire falling from the sky; intense, blood-red light cascaded down like a waterfall.
In an instant, the Demon Emperor felt a tremor deep within his soul.
Like a leak in the sky, an endless stream of crimson power surged forth.
It impacted everyone below.
The Three Realms army, which had just stopped fighting, was thrown off balance by this force and was pushed backward uncontrollably. Later, the Three Realms army was like fallen leaves in a flood, completely out of control and drifting with the tide.
They struggled a few times at first, but in the end, no one struggled anymore, resigned to their fate as the crimson, eerie power pushed them away.
Even the experts of the Three Realms could not stand firm in the air and staggered backward.
This is—demonic power!
Such powerful demonic energy.
The godlike man, bathed in a crimson, blood-red light, had a clear outline, as if he had walked out of time and space, both divine and demonic.
It's so hard to tell what his true temperament is.
He was dressed in white, as proud as a god, and ethereal and otherworldly. His elegant and refined appearance was even more ethereal and noble than that of the immortals.
But the alluring, blood-red swaying behind her was so eerie and magnificent, like a blooming poppy, beautiful to the extreme, and dangerous to the extreme.
Such a contradictory existence, yet without the slightest abruptness, is perfectly integrated into him, as if he were naturally like a demon or a god.
In that instant, everyone felt an urge to prostrate themselves in worship, not because of the man's handsome appearance, nor because of his noble demeanor, but solely because of his unfathomable and profound strength.
Even the Demon Emperor was terrified and deeply shocked by this power.
That night, no one in the Three Realms made a move.
That night, the power of everyone in the Three Realms was suppressed.
That night, they remembered that perfect man who was both a god and a demon.
That night, they remembered a title—the Demon God.
A sudden gust of wind swept into the room, and the cool air jolted the Demon Emperor out of his reverie. He exhaled heavily, opened his eyes, and looked at the blood-red setting sun, a bleak smile playing on his lips.
Who would believe that such a man would retreat to a corner and become the guardian deity of the demon realm?
He never believed it from the very beginning.
It's really a wonder that the people of the Immortal Realm are only bringing up this issue now. Were they fools before?
Didn't you question the demon god's purpose?
Therefore, he still believed that his speculation was the most correct: it must have been that someone from the Immortal Realm encountered Liu Lanyan and was dealt with by her.
However, people in the celestial realm would assume it was done by a demon god.
It seems the Celestial Realm suffered a great loss this time; otherwise, they wouldn't have condescended to come and join forces with the Demon Realm.
Of course he wants to cooperate.
Don't think that the Demon Realm is easy to bully. For thousands of years, the Demon Realm has not made any move. Do you really think that the Demon Realm can be bullied by others?
The flames of war in the Three Realms are likely to be reignited; it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious this time.
The Demon Emperor's meaningful smile looked so sinister and terrifying against the backdrop of the blood-red setting sun; his bloodthirsty smile sent chills down one's spine.
Inside the Wuchen Palace in the Demon Realm.
Liu Lanyan snapped out of her cultivation and saw the Demon God smiling at her. Amused, she asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Does she have flowers growing on her face?
"She's recovered." The more Mo Yun looked at Liu Lanyan now, the happier he became.
This radiant and energetic Liu Lanyan is the real Lanyan to him.
Once his overexerted strength was fully restored, his anxiety finally subsided.
"Mmm." Liu Lanyan felt sweet inside, but she tried her best to restrain herself on her face. However, for some reason, no matter how hard she tried to suppress it, the corners of her lips just couldn't help but turn up.
"I've recovered now, shouldn't we talk about the Immortal Realm?" Liu Lanyan asked the Demon God. She understood his concern because she hadn't fully recovered a few days ago.
They hadn't discussed matters concerning the Immortal Realm with the Demon Lord. Even if the Demon God was confident, he should at least have informed the Demon Lord.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate that you didn't tell the Demon Lord at all? If the Immortal Realm really takes any action, or joins forces with the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm is caught off guard, it would be terrible if they were attacked without any preparation."
Liu Lanyan said with concern.
“I already spoke with the Demon Lord.” Mo Yun’s words surprised Liu Lanyan. “You spoke with the Demon Lord? How come I didn’t know?”
Why does she feel like the demon god is always hovering in front of her, never leaving her for long periods of time?
What did he say to the Demon Lord?
"It's a very simple matter, not that complicated," Mo Yun said with a smile. "What do you think it's complicated about?"
"Isn't this troublesome?" Liu Lanyan frowned slightly.
Since this concerns the safety and survival of the entire demon realm, even if we can't come up with a solution immediately, we should at least discuss it for a while.
Little did she know that after hearing her question, the demon god gave her a strange look and asked in return, "Is it troublesome to write a letter with just a few words?"
A thunderous roar filled the air.
"A letter? A few words?" Liu Lanyan felt that her thinking could no longer keep up with the Demon God's thoughts. Could it be that his understanding of a letter was not the same as hers?
"Can you explain it clearly?" Liu Lanyan asked the Demon God with a furrowed brow. Shouldn't they have exchanged letters several times to discuss this?
“Of course I understand,” Mo Yun said matter-of-factly. “It’s just to tell him that the Immortal Realm might be taking action today, and to warn him to be careful. Surely he understands that?”
The demon god's nonchalant attitude completely petrified Liu Lanyan. After a long while, she muttered with difficulty, "It's a miracle that nothing has happened in the demon realm for a thousand years."
Is this a discussion?
It's just a notification.
It's to tell the Demon Lord that the Immortal Realm might take action, and let him figure out a solution himself.
Seeing the incredulous look in Liu Lanyan's eyes, Mo Yun chuckled softly, flicked her forehead, and saw her frown in displeasure. He then said happily, "The demon realm has a demon lord; I am merely a guardian."
"You can't expect someone insignificant to bear the responsibilities that the Demon Lord should bear, can you?" Mo Yun's words only earned him Liu Lanyan's disdain.
Is he an insignificant person?
In the demon realm, who would dare say that the demon god is an insignificant person?
If you say a single word, you'll be drowned in a sea of spittle from everyone else.
Liu Lanyan pressed her hand to her forehead, and the Demon God immediately asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Lanyan?"
"My head hurts," Liu Lanyan groaned in pain.
Upon hearing Liu Lanyan's words, Mo Yun frowned: "Why is your head hurting? Is it because you're recovering your strength too quickly?"
No way! He has already worked hard to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This environment is definitely suitable for Liu Lanyan's cultivation. How could this problem still occur?
"Talking to you gives me a headache!" Liu Lanyan couldn't help but jump up and exclaim, giving the Demon God's arm a heavy slap. "What kind of answer was that?"
Is that how you talk?
Upon hearing that Liu Lanyan's health was not the problem, the demon god immediately breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "I wasn't wrong to say that, was I?"
"That's true, but the problem is..." Liu Lanyan was taken aback by what the demon god said. On the surface, what he said seemed correct, but the problem was, that wasn't the case, was it?
"We don't need to worry about this problem right now, let's rest first." Mo Yun coaxed Liu Lanyan with a smile, telling her to go and rest.
Those problems are for people to worry about.
Liu Lanyan blinked and stared at the Demon God. Her overly focused gaze made even the Demon God a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask, "Lanyan, what's wrong?"
"It feels like you're plotting something." Liu Lanyan tilted her head and looked at the Demon God. He seemed cunning no matter how she looked at him.
Mo Yun smiled gently, reached out and touched Liu Lanyan's long hair: "Even if it's a scheme, it wouldn't be aimed at you."
The demon god's words made Liu Lanyan realize who he was indeed plotting against.
But who's so unlucky as to be outmaneuvered by him?
"Let's go eat." Mo Yun glanced at the sky. It was getting late, and if they didn't eat soon, Liu Lanyan would go hungry.
"Mmm." Liu Lanyan obediently let the demon god pull her to eat. As for the person who was schemed against, she didn't care who it was; it had nothing to do with her.
Liu Lanyan and Mo Yun were having a happy meal, but the Demon Lord, who had received the letter from the Demon God, was restless and unable to eat or sleep. He summoned everyone to the main hall to discuss important matters.
The letter from the Demon God to the Demon Lord was circulated and read around, but no one spoke.
The vast hall was completely silent. Everyone was either deep in thought or looking around, waiting for someone else to speak.
Yu Jinshuo brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes and asked, "Since the Demon God received the information, then let the Demon God handle it. He is the guardian deity of our demon realm; surely he can handle even this simple problem?"
Aside from Liu Jinli nodding in agreement, all the other elders frowned at Yu Jinshuo's words.
"My lord, we should ask the Venerable One to come and discuss this matter carefully together," Elder Su Yin, Su Hanhao's father, spoke first.
“If the Lord were willing to come, why send only this letter?” Liu Jinli believed that the Demon God’s actions indicated he did not want to come. “My Lord, this news may not be accurate.”
The Demon Lord glanced at Liu Jinli and nodded: "The Venerable One didn't say that the Immortal Realm would definitely come to make things difficult for the Demon Realm. This must be information that the Venerable One got from somewhere. However, we still need to prepare as soon as possible."
