Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 49: Bloodshed is more than a mother's love
When Zhuo Ao mentioned the Sky Speaker, his expression was obviously different, with a hint of tenderness on his lips. Ping Lili noticed that it was an extreme feeling of pity. In fact, she was not unfamiliar with that expression. Mo Yi would often show such an expression in front of her.
The Heavenly Speaker Zhuo Ao was referring to must be Mo Yi's mother, Han Yan. And now, Ping Lili finally understood Han Yan's true intentions in defying Heaven. The so-called Demon Lord's body, which Han Yan had hidden at the cost of her life, must have been Mo Yi! Han Yan had predicted that the body chosen by the Demon Lord Yan Yue would be her son, which was why she had stopped at nothing to prevent the Demon Lord Yan Yue's possession, even sacrificing her own life.
Ping Lili's admiration for Han Yan once again reached its peak.
It turns out that maternal love is the greatest thing in the world. A mother will do anything for her children, even at the cost of her life.
This was the first time Mo Yi had heard the truth about his mother's death. Although he had always suspected that her death was strange, he had never expected it to be for such a reason. But if that was the case, why had his father been so secretive and never mentioned it?
"But this is only temporary. The Sky Speaker knew that Demon Lord Nightmare Moon would return in the future. The only way to eliminate him once and for all was the Sky Stone. Only the power of the Sky Stone could completely seal the Demon Lord into eternal sleep. However, she never told me the whereabouts of the person who could refine the Sky Stone. The last time I saw her before her death, she told me that person would appear in Yonghui City. So, since then, I have held the Yonghui Martial Arts Competition every year, actually just waiting for the person who can refine the Sky Stone. But, you know, Yao Ji had a lot of things happen back then, things got a little out of control, and she even died young. So unfortunately, the Sky Stone was not completed, and the best opportunity to seal Demon Lord Nightmare Moon was missed." As Zhuo Ao said this, his gaze was extremely profound, as if it could penetrate everything before him and return to the past...
Ping Lili thought that Zhuo Ao must have had extremely deep feelings for Mo Yi's mother Han Yan, which is why he ran around for her all his life, and even tried his best to fulfill her long-cherished wish after her death.
"But, you told me before that the Heavenly Stone can bring my mother back to life." Mo Yi frowned deeply at this time. Hearing his mother's past from Zhuo Ao made Mo Yi's heart flustered. He suddenly remembered the last words his mother said to him before she died. She asked him to go to Yonghui City when he was sixteen years old. She said that there was a final gift she left for him. Was the gift she was talking about Yao Ji?
So, the person who was directing everything behind the scenes and guiding him to meet Yao Ji was his own mother?
But how did she do it?
"That stone has the power to create the world and reverse the destiny of the universe. It can not only seal the Demon Lord, but also bring people back to life." Zhuo Ao said this with fiery words.
"This is just your wishful thinking, or in other words, you are simply throwing everything you have at the stake and trying every possible means." You Lan, who had been silent before, finally spoke again, but his words made everyone's heart tremble.
Zhuo Ao glanced at him coldly, but his expression showed that he was disdainful to argue with him. Gong Lili knew that since Zhuo Ao was so confident, he must have his reasons, but the topic came back again. Since the Heavenly Stone can seal the Demon Lord Nightmare Moon, then what about the Blue Sky Sword?
Her eyes were still fixed on Zhuo Ao, as if he had seen through the doubts in her heart. Zhuo Ao suddenly stretched out his hand to her and said without emotion, "Give me your hand."
Yinglili slowly stretched out her right hand hesitantly, and saw Zhuo Ao's fingertips draw a green mark on the palm of Yinglili's hand like a dragon. Suddenly, Yinglili felt a tingling sensation in her right hand, and her right hand trembled uncontrollably. Then, a crystal green long sword appeared in Yinglili's hand in an instant, just like Mo Yi's dragon-slaying roar.
The emerald green sword was as thin as a cicada's wing, translucent and seemingly incomparably flexible. It shone with a brilliant light so intense that one could hardly bear to look directly at it. The sword itself emanated a chilling aura, as if an eternally shining god had descended upon the earth. Everyone felt as if the entire area was instantly enveloped by an unrivaled force!
"This, is the Bi Luo Sword?!" You Lan on the side had already made a sound of admiring. Even though he had lived for so many years, he had only heard of this legendary sword of Xuan Yue and had never seen it in person. Now that he saw it, it was truly an eye-opener.
"But now that we have the Heavenly Stone, what do we need this Azure Sword for?" Wei Xingying seemed to have roughly understood the problem at this time, but he helped everyone ask the question in their hearts.
"It's not easy to seal the Demon Lord Nightmare Moon. Back then, the three of us brothers gave our all, paying the price of one death and two injuries before we could barely seal him. Furthermore, before that, he was severely injured by our master. Now, I'm the only one left. That Ruoye kid may be the reincarnation of my junior brother, but his abilities are far inferior to those of my junior brother back then. Meanwhile, Nightmare Moon has been sealed away for thousands of years, cultivating diligently in that dark world , awaiting his day of revenge. With this surge and decline, we're now at a complete disadvantage. Only this sword, imbued with the power of our master, might be able to hold its own. If we can injure him just once more, we'll be able to seal him completely."
Zhuo Ao wasn't exaggerating. Everyone present had heard of the brutality of the battle between gods and demons that day, and Zhuo Ao wasn't exaggerating. However, Mo Yi was being cautious. "Why did the Wuji Immortal Palace want this sword? Why did they go to so much trouble to set up the 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation' to obtain it?"
"This is the sword that Master Xuan Yue used before he broke through the Void. Before breaking through the Void, Master used his spiritual power to infuse the sword with the sword manual. What Wuji Immortal Palace wants is not this sword, but the sword manual contained within it."
"Since you know how to use this sword, why don't you use it yourself?" Mo Yi didn't believe that Zhuo Ao was such a selfless person who would hand over such a peerless sword to Gong Lili.
"This sword can only play its greatest effect in her hands. She is the successor ." When Zhuo Ao said this, his fingertips lightly touched the center of the eyebrows of Ping Lili. Ping Lili suddenly felt a strange feeling filling her body, from the center of the eyebrows to the palm of her hand. She only needed a thought, and the next moment the Bi Luo sword took off into the air by itself. Ping Lili was startled, and the Bi Luo sword suddenly returned to her palm, as if the sword was controlled by her thoughts. This feeling made Ping Lili feel quite wonderful. She played with the sword curiously, as if she had found a new toy.
"Ever since this Biluo Sword recognized you as its master, it and you have been complementary to each other. It will hide in your body on weekdays, and you just need to summon it with your consciousness. This is similar to that brat's Dragon-Slaying Chant. The stronger your ability is, the more powerful this Biluo Sword will be. However, your ability now is not enough to control this Biluo Sword. I'm afraid you can't even use one ten-thousandth of the power of your master back then. So, you must come with me. I will find a way to improve your strength so that you can unleash the full power of this Biluo Sword." Zhuo Ao finally stated his true purpose, but Mo Yi's brows were already furrowed. In his opinion, this old guy Zhuo Ao clearly wanted to use Gong Lili as a gun.
However, before Yinglili could react, something strange happened in the sky!
Without warning, the sky and earth suddenly changed color, and the entire Wangsheng Forest seemed to be shrouded in darkness. It had been a bright and sunny day, but in the blink of an eye, it became pitch black! Then, several cold lights pierced the air with sharp whistles, carrying with them an unparalleled murderous aura!
Everyone present was no ordinary person. They had sensed something was amiss when the world just changed, and each used their own abilities to avoid the murderous sneak attack.
"You followed me so soon?" Zhuo Ao snorted coldly, and the next moment he turned his hand into clouds. Several rays of light emerged from his palm. Before everyone could figure out what was going on, the sky and the earth suddenly returned to their original color. The only difference was that there seemed to be some uninvited guests on all sides of them.
The young man in the lead, who was sturdy, had bronze skin and a simple and honest face, looked very familiar.
Isn’t this the boy named Erhuzi whom I met in Hongsha Village that day? Or rather, we should call him Baihu.
"Baihu...are you really willing to degenerate like this?!" Mo Yi squeezed out these words from between his teeth, but his heart was already burning with anger. The man in front of him had deceived him as well.
"What do you mean by self-degradation? As the saying goes, a man of insight is a wise man. The master Xuan Yue, who was once known as the best in the world, has long disappeared. I'm afraid he no longer exists in this Xu Ming world. Most of his disciples back then are also dead, leaving only this old fellow. What can he do?! This Xu Ming world will one day be the world of the demons. I advise you to be more insightful." But no one expected that the seemingly honest and simple young man would say such shameless words. At this moment, Ying Lili gritted his teeth and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Bai E was the one who threw her into a deep ravine on Kuaiji Mountain that day.
