"You're surprised, aren't you?" The Wind Demon smiled, "I know you'll be surprised, anyone who hears this will be surprised. Β€Top-notch novel, though, I'm not talking nonsense. Are those who want to kill her just for the sake of wealth, or simply because your father has offended those enemies? No, it's not that simple. β
"This." Murong Hong nodded, "I've always been very skeptical about the motives of those who chased and killed my sister, but what did you mean by what you just said that her existence can change the fate of the universe?" β
"I can't sue you for this either." The Wind Demon crossed his arms and looked like a smile rather than a smile.
"What are you doing here? This doesn't sue me, and that doesn't sue me, so what else do I listen to? Murong Hong was a little unhappy.
"Am I obligated to sue you?" Feng Demon said, "Sue sΓΉ or not sΓΉ you, this is my freedom." β
"Then forget it." Murong Hong waved his hand, "Then we have nothing to say, farewell!" β
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" The Wind Demon blocked his way.
"Don't get in my way, I still have things to do!"
"You sue me first, what are you going to do?"
"Am I obligated to sue you?" Murong Hong also concocted the same method, "Sue sΓΉ or not sΓΉ you, this is my freedom!" β
"Hahaha! You really have a personality, it seems that you have really found the right person to let you be Duguxue's protector. β
"Dharma Protector?" Murong Hong was stunned, "I'm the protector of the law?" β
"That's right." Wind Demon nodded, "You are the Great Protector by her side, but now you, the Protector, will temporarily take her place." β
"What do you mean? The more I listened, the more I didn't understand. Murong Hong was like falling into the clouds.
"I can't sue you too much, I can only sue you, Dugu Xue's divine body is really important, very important." The Wind Demon lowered his voice, "She can't have an accident, once she's dead, it's game over." β
"But she's dead!" Murong Hong raised his voice, "Her soul has already arrived in the Land of the Nine Shades, if I can't bring her back from the Land of the Nine Shades, she will never be able to return to the Yang Realm!" β
"No, she's not dead."
"What? She's not dead, but didn't you say she's already in the Land of the Nine Shadows? β
"She got there, but her soul was trapped in the Nine Shadows, and she could come back later. As long as her divine body remains, she can be resurrected! "I have received the news that in the Yang Realm, a group of powerful masters are also looking for her, wanting to completely destroy her. Now, it's time for you to return to the yang world as Dugu Xue! β
"What? You, you want me to return to the yang world as my sister? Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, "But, but why is this?" β
"Because Duguxue must save zΓ i, so that a bigger tiger can be lured out." The Wind Demon stroked his beard, "That way, we'll be able to catch them all." β
"You, you're going to use me as bait?" Murong Hong was stunned.
"Let's just put it that way." The Wind Demon nodded, "At the moment, you are the only one who is the most qualified for this task. β
"It's impossible." Murong Hong shook his head, "I understand, after talking for a long time, do you want me to use Murong Xue's body as bait to lure the snake out of the hole?" But why did you have to choose me? Wouldn't it be nice if you could just get my sister's soul back from the Nine Shadows Land and let her return to Yang? β
"No way!" The Wind Demon shook his head, "She is not qualified for this position, except for her body, Dugu Xue is just an ordinary mortal in mind and spirit, and she is not qualified for this thing." β
"But I'm also an ordinary mortal."
"No, you're not an ordinary mortal anymore, Murong Hong, you already have extraordinary spiritual power! Psychic power, you know? Perceiving danger, predicting the judgment of opponents, using the induction of body, mind and spirit, and intuition to see the future, these mental powers are all not possessed by Dugu Xue. It would be too risky to let her stay in the Underworld, and once her divine body is destroyed, then our plan is over! β
"Your plan? What is the plan? β
The wind demon was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly stopped talking.
"Why don't you say it? Say it? β
"I still can't sue you."
"Then we have nothing to talk about, I'm gone, and I don't want to be a little sheep as bait!" Murong Hong made a gesture to leave again.
"You don't do any good of doing that." The Wind Demon blocked his way.
"I don't want any good."
"Don't you want to bring her back, and the day you two will be reunited?" The Wind Demon said loudly, "Isn't that why you stayed in this Netherworld?" β
"Huh?" Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, and his shoulders also drooped.
Yes, who is he staying here for, isn't it just to find Murong Xue?
"Although I personally don't like love very much, love can make you weak and lose your judgment. As a demon, once you relent, you can only die under the opponent's knife! "However, sometimes it seems that only these ** will make a man like you fight hard for a woman, right?" β
"You don't come to this set, are you going to play the warmth card for me?" Murong Hong snorted coldly, "Don't you think I'm going to cooperate with you because of this?" You are demons, if I cooperate with you, what is it, isn't that dealing with the devil? β
"The devil? We hate to be compared to the useless ghosts. The Wind Demon shrugged, "Sometimes, it's not necessarily a bad thing to make a deal with the devil?" You know, I'm on your side to protect Duguxue? β
"You protect her, why?" Murong Hong said, "It's really strange that the devil protects mortals.
"What's so strange?" Wind Demon said, "There is a saying, called 'There are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies', do you think that our demons will only harm people, and will not protect people? β
"What you say is true? You, are you really going to protect my sister? Murong Hong showed a puzzled look.
"Of course, at least, now we are on the same front as you. Our common enemies are those who want to kill Duguxue. What is it called, 'The enemy of our enemies, that's our friends', right? β
Murong Hong lowered his head and thought carefully.
What is the purpose of this wind demon and even the entire demon kingdom to take the initiative to cooperate with him to protect Murong Xue together? What is the origin of those who want to kill Murong Xue? What are the intricate connections in this?
No matter what the Wind Demon's motive was, since he offered to protect Murong Xue, at least he was not an enemy. Well, the Wind Demon is right, in order to deal with those who want to kill my sister, I do need their help, and I am definitely not enough to rely on my own strength.
Thinking of this, Murong Hong raised his head and finally smiled.
"Alright then, Wind Demon, I accept your mention. However, if you help me, there will always be your request, right? Say, what exactly do you want in return? β
"Very good, talking to our demons is to have clear interests, I like it." The Wind Demon smiled, "Actually, this reward is also very simple, as long as you promise to do one thing for our Demon Lord in the future." β
"Doing things for your Demon Lord? What to do? β
"We need to get the netherworld!" Wind Demon said, "Only you can defeat the Bardo King and rule the Netherworld, because your body is Dugu Xue's, and Dugu Xue's body has the blood of the Dugu family." β
"Do you want me to help you overthrow Dugu Sheng, the king of the bardo?" Murong Hong was taken aback.
"Yes, Dugu Sheng's current rule is no longer secure, and some of his courtiers have begun to plot to subvert his regime. And among the people, those rebels simply preached: The current Zhongyin King is not Dugusheng, but an impostor! β
"Imposters? This, this can't be, right? He was able to master the black wand, how could he be an impostor? β
"He just held the black wand, and didn't use it, and this black wand can only be used by the true leader of the netherworld to exert its full power." Wind Demon said, "If he can hold it, it only means that he is also a member of the Dugu family, but no one knows whether he is the Dugu Sheng." β
"Impossible, right? I, I've seen him, he, he looks like my sister? β
"The question is, you've seen him, but do you know what the original Dugu Sheng looked like? No one has ever seen the true face of the Bardo King, no one, only the person who can make the black wand exert its extreme effect is the true master of this Netherworld! Murong Hong, you have the opportunity to seize that black wand now, and let others see that only you are worthy of becoming the master of this netherworld. β
"Didn't you ask me to seek a usurpation of the throne?" Murong Hong shook his head, "I'm sorry, I won't do this kind of thing, you're looking for the wrong person!" β
"You don't have a choice!" The Wind Demon said coldly, "Without that black wand, you would never be able to leave here!" Without this black wand, you can't defeat those who want to kill Duguxue. You should know what this black wand means to you. You have no choice but to take the Black Wand and become its master; Or, you'll stay here forever and never see your father or your sister again! The choice is yours! β
"Sister?" Murong Hong froze, his mouth wide open, and he looked at the mirror.
In the mirror, his current face appeared, which originally belonged to Murong Xue.
"She's not dead, she's just staying in the Nine Shadows, don't you want to bring her back from there?" The Wind Demon accurately grasped the softest place in Murong Hong's heart and said, "From here to the underworld, you must cross the ghost gate of the three hellhound handles, otherwise, you will never be able to go there, and you will never see Dugu Xue's soul." Her soul will wander there forever, and she will not even be reincarnated, and she will endure the invasion and harassment of those evil spirits all the time, and suffer endless pain. This qiΔ is all caused by you, her younger brother, Murong Hong. β
"No, don't say it!" Murong Hong hugged his head.
"If you hadn't used the method of seizing souls to occupy the house and entered her body, would she have gone to the Nine Secluded Lands? If you use this spell outside that mirror, you can't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't use that soul-stealing trick the moment you enter that mirror. The Wind Demon kept saying, "It is a place that does not belong to either the Yang or the Netherworld, it is the junction of the Yang and the Netherworld, and her soul has been driven out by you, and she can't go back to the Yang, and she can't go to the Netherworld, so she can only linger in the Nine Shadows." And because she is not a normal death, not in the record of the book of life and death, she can't be reincarnated at all, even if the lord of Hades takes pity on her and lets her reincarnate, I'm afraid that in the next life, she can only be born in the animal path. Are you willing to turn your beloved into a brute? β
"Enough!" Murong Hong screamed, his face swollen red, and his hands trembled incessantly
