Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 48: You treat fortune and misfortune as nothing
"I came to teach her how to use the Biluo Sword, and by the way, retrieve the key to the demon world that belongs to me." Zhuo Ao's answer left everyone stunned for a while.
"I want to take this girl away." Before everyone could react, Zhuo Ao added another sentence, his eyes fixed on Gong Lili, as if he was determined to get her.
"No! She can only be with me, no one can take her away!" Mo Yi immediately refused to do it when he heard this. He had guessed that Zhuo Ao had impure motives before, but he didn't expect that he was really planning to take over Gong Lili. Mo Yi didn't believe that he was just coming for the Biluo Sword. Zhuo Ao was also planning to take over Tianshi, and it was not a one or two days thing.
Before Mo Yi finished speaking, the emerald green Dragon Slaying Blade had quietly appeared in his palm. The cold blade shone with a cold luster, as if silently indicating the master's determination, even if it meant becoming an enemy of Zhuo Ao, he was determined to protect her.
"Do you think you can stop me?" Zhuo Ao glanced at Mo Yi and shook his head indifferently: "I thought you were a smart person."
"How can you know if you don't try?" Mo Yi replied coldly, as if he was ready to fight to the death with Zhuo Ao, but suddenly his wrist was grabbed by Gong Lili. Gong Lili shook her head at him and pulled his hand that was holding Zhan Long Yin.
At this time, You Lan had quietly stepped between Zhuo Ao and Mo Yi. "I say, don't you two really respect me, the master? You want to fight and kill people on my territory?" Then he turned to Zhuo Ao and said, "Don't go too far, old man. This kid is my apprentice now, so don't go too far. Besides, this is my territory. If you want to take someone away, shouldn't you ask my opinion first?"
Zhuo Ao looked at You Lan with his hands behind his back, his expression suddenly becoming serious. "Old man, you and I have known each other for a long time , so you know my temper. Once I make a decision, I will not change it."
You Lan stared intently at Zhuo Ao's face, which had hardly changed at all. He suddenly remembered the same expression he had on his face five hundred years ago when he had mentioned his plan to go to the Penglai Wonderland. You Lan sneered and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "I say, old man, are you tired of your life? Why do you have so many obsessions? Some things should be let go. Life and death are all God's will. Why bother..."
"Enough! You don't need to interfere in my affairs!" Zhuo Ao interrupted You Lan's endless chatter rudely, and a hint of displeasure finally appeared on his handsome face.
You Lan, however, was not a person of good temper. Originally, he had intended to try to persuade Zhuo Ao because he and Zhuo Ao were old acquaintances, but when he heard Zhuo Ao's words, he naturally gave up. "I was wondering why you, old man, are so stubborn. I was trying to persuade you out of kindness because of our old acquaintance. What's your attitude? Are you planning to fight me again?!"
As long as You Lan is willing, he can make everyone present fall into an endless illusion at any time.
A feeling of impending storm suddenly enveloped everyone's heart.
Seeing these two old guys, whose combined ages were at least several thousand years old, quarreling like little kids, Gong Lili shook her head with a helpless look on her face. She looked up at Mo Yi beside her, who also had a look of anger on his face. It seemed that he was also ready to compete with Zhuo Ao at any time. Gong Lili sighed in her heart: men, no matter how old they are, are sometimes childish and emotional creatures.
She gently patted Mo Yi's hand that was holding Zhan Long Yin, signaling him to calm down and put Zhan Long Yin away. Then she walked forward and pulled You Lan back. She used her eyes to instruct Wei Xingying to keep an eye on his emotional master, and then she walked up to Zhuo Ao on her own, subconsciously straightening her spine, and looking at the other person steadily with her golden-brown eyes.
Unlike the insidious and cunning feeling that Kamai gave her before, she actually had no aversion to Zhuo Ao. She just had a vague fear. Some people were like that. They didn't have to do anything, just standing there, to give people an invisible pressure, and Zhuo Ao was obviously one of those people.
Zhuo Ao was too mysterious, so she was obviously more curious about him.
Moreover, the timing of Zhuo Ao's arrival was too coincidental, wasn't it? Just yesterday, she had pushed Mo Yi down—ahem, no, she had been pushed down by Mo Yi—and today, Zhuo Ao had come knocking on her door, as if he had calculated everything. This thought made Gong Lili's heart tremble. Could it be that these so-called masters were all so cunning and calculating? Were their every move, hers, and Mo Yi's, controlled?
Besides, wasn't he here for the Heavenly Stone? Then he should know how to refine it. Why did he take her away alone? Even if he really knew that she and Mo Yi were already married, was he so sure that Mo Yi would hit the jackpot and let her win?
This idea made Ying Lili herself feel very absurd, but the behavior of this grandmaster was so unbelievable that she had to figure it out.
"Lili..." Mo Yi knew that she must have something to say to Zhuo Ao. Although he was reluctant, he did not pull her back because he knew that Lili was a stubborn person at heart, and her temper was no less than his own.
At this moment, Zhuo Ao looked at the petite woman slowly walking towards him. His facial expression finally softened a little. A faint smile curled up the corners of his cold and resolute lips, but he quietly changed the subject and repeated the question he had asked before: "Did O tell you everything?"
Yinglili nodded silently. She knew that the other party was confirming the matter of the Heavenly Stone again and again.
Zhuo Ao stood with his hands behind his back and asked calmly, "So what's your decision?"
Ping Lili calmly stretched out a hand to gather the loose hair on her forehead, raised her head high, and showed the same momentum as when she entered the Shamo Temple that day, looking back at Zhuo Ao with a firm gaze like a torch.
There was no need for words at this point, her expression had already expressed her attitude. No matter how difficult the future was, she was not afraid. She had to have Tianshi, and she also had to have that child. However, that child could only be Mo Yi's.
At this moment, Mo Yi suddenly understood what she and Zhuo Ao were talking about, but his brows slightly frowned.
"Hehe..." Zhuo Ao stared at Yan Lili intently for a long time, then suddenly let out a chuckle: "You and her really look alike."
Yinglili slowly raised her head. She knew the "she" she was referring to must be Mo Yi's mother, the former Heaven Speaker Han Yan. Did she resemble Han Yan? She didn't know. Perhaps they did, in that they shared the same determination to protect Mo Yi.
"Do you want to come with me? I will tell you all the mysteries contained in this Biluo Sword." Zhuo Ao's voice suddenly became very soft, with a hint of charm.
"Lili, don't listen to his nonsense!" Mo Yi finally couldn't hold back any longer and growled. He tiptoed over and pulled Gong Lili to his side again. In Mo Yi's heart, no matter what demon clan, Xuan Yue, or Biluo Sword, it had nothing to do with him. As long as they were together, it was enough.
Ying Lili neither nodded nor responded to Mo Yi. She pondered for a moment, then flew up and broke off a branch from a nearby peach tree. She leaned over and, with a flick of her fingertips, wrote on the ground, stroke by stroke: "I want to know the whole truth."
"The truth..." A chuckle escaped from Zhuo Ao's throat again. At this moment, he was still standing with his hands behind his back, standing proudly in the afterglow of the setting sun. That figure made Ping Lili suddenly think of the silhouette of the master Xuan Yue that she saw in her dream that day.
"You all know that after the three of us brothers severely injured the Demon Lord Yanyue, he was sealed beneath the Ruoye Clan's imperial city in the South Sea. Thousands of years have passed now, and the power of the seal has gradually weakened. His spirit has awakened once again."
When Ping Lili heard the news, her face turned pale instantly, and she felt as if she was in an ice river in the dead of winter, feeling cold from the inside out.
The demon Nightmare Moon's spirit has awakened? What does this mean? Does it mean he's going to start looking for a body?!
Ping Lili suddenly remembered what Han Yan had told her very carefully that day. From Han Yan's tone, it seemed that she had never revealed this secret to anyone. Then, perhaps Zhuo Ao did not know that Mo Yi was the only candidate chosen by the Demon Lord Yan Yue to be his body.
Since that was the case, Ying Lili decided to keep this secret to herself and never let anyone else know!
At this moment, Zhuo Ao's expression gradually darkened. "In fact, his spirit had already awakened once five hundred years ago, but he couldn't reincarnate, so he could only search the Void Realm for a body with the same birth date and physique as himself, and use the soul-stealing technique to attach his spirit to the body. Five hundred years ago, he seemed to have found a suitable body, but before he could make his move, the Sky Speaker of the Void Realm at that time saw through his intentions. To stop the Demon Lord, the Sky Speaker went against the will of heaven, sacrificing all his abilities and even risking his life. He used forbidden techniques to hide the traces of the only body chosen by the so-called Demon Lord, causing it to disappear. As a result, the Demon Lord Nightmare Moon lost the opportunity to possess another body and had to return to eternal sleep. This also caused the Demon Lord to be sealed for an additional five hundred years."
