Love Above All - 179

After all, everyone knew of Lan Xi’s skills. Even if she ventured into the Demon Realm, no one could do anything to her.

*

Demon Realm.

Lan Xi headed straight for the Demon Palace.

The Dragon throne of the Demon Lord.

Gu Mo was sitting on it, practicing techniques in a cross-legged position.

As soon as Lan Xi appeared, he opened his eyes.

"Lan Xi, I’ve been waiting here for you for a long time. You’re finally here."

Lan Xi looked at Gu Mo. His once black eyes had turned blood red, and there was even a hint of ghostly green deep within.

Moreover, his aura had become strange and fierce.

"You’re not Gu Mo. Who are you?" Lan Xi immediately sensed something was amiss. Although Gu Mo’s appearance hadn’t changed, his aura and presence were completely unfamiliar.

Gu Mo threw his head back and laughed heartily, "Lan Xi, after tens of thousands of years have passed, do you not recognize me anymore?"

As his voice rose, the Demon Palace was suddenly shrouded in a powerful black mist.

Lan Xi was startled and quickly created a barrier with her spiritual energy to encase herself, isolating the terrifying demonic breath outside.

"You are the Demon Lord!"

"You wretched girl. You killed me twice, and today with old and new grudges, I’ll settle the score with you." The Demon Lord clenched his fists malevolently. "Who would’ve thought, your nurtured new Demon Lord, this body suits me perfectly."

Lan Xi couldn’t figure it out. She had definitely killed him twice, yet he wasn’t dead.

And instead, after only thirty thousand years, he became even stronger than before.

This seemed to defy logic.

"You killed Bu Qiao and devoured Gu Mo’s soul. You monster, I will not let this go." Lan Xi summoned the Goddess Sword.

Since she could kill him once, she could kill him twice, even thrice.

"I’m not letting you get close to me again." Gu Mo sneered, raising a hand to reveal a mirror.

As Lan Xi charged forward, he lifted the mirror high, aiming it at her.

Lan Xi felt a burst of intense light flashing by, stinging her eyes shut.

In an instant, she was absorbed into the mirror.

Gu Mo saw Lan Xi being effortlessly tricked into the mirror and let out an unruly, defiant laugh.

"Lan Xi, stay inside and enjoy the life within the mirror. Don’t ever think of coming out again in this lifetime."

Without Lan Xi, the Heavens lack the Qiankun Gu.

With the addition of the demon war and himself, he intended to take down the Heavens in one fell swoop.

He would become the ruler of the world, making everyone bow before him.

...

Lan Xi had been gone to the Demon Realm for half a month and had not returned.

The Heavenly Emperor Lan Yan, along with Crown Prince Ya, Mi Xi, and others, were all extremely anxious.

At this time, the battle situation at Great Desolation Mountain was critical.

The Demon Race had arrived too abruptly, and the Heavens had to immediately deploy troops to the battlefield to prevent any surprises.

Unexpectedly, the first wave of heavenly soldiers sent out ended with complete annihilation.

Even the Heavenly Emperor was in a state of panic.

"Could something have happened to Lan Xi!" Crown Prince Ya said anxiously.

"We should never have let her leave alone back then." Mi Xi also spoke with regret.

"Saying such things now is useless. It’s said that the Demon Realm acquired a Demon Mirror recently. Could it be that Lan Xi is trapped by it?" Lan Yan also heard this from Rong Feng.

For years, she hadn’t managed Lan Xi’s affairs much.

Lan Xi’s good relations with the Demon Realm brought peace to all the realms, and everyone turned a blind eye.

No one foresaw that Gu Mo would suddenly change temperament, killing Bu Qiao and even deploying troops against the Immortal Realm.

If Lan Xi is controlled by the Demon Mirror, I’m afraid her chances are grim.

"No, I must rescue my junior sister." Mi Xi felt the matter was urgent.

"I’m going too!" Crown Prince Ya said anxiously.

The Heavenly Emperor thought for a moment, "The two of you, hold on. Intruding the Demon Realm is no joke. Unlike Lan Xi, you can’t come and go as you please there. Once in the Demon Realm, you’d be like ordinary people. Not only would you fail to rescue, but you might also lose your lives."

"Then what do we do now? If something happens to Lan Xi, and the Qiankun Gu falls into Gu Mo’s hands, the Heavens will face unimaginable disaster." Ya, despite saying this, was genuinely worried for Lan Xi’s safety.

The Heavenly Emperor considered once more, understanding that the Crown Prince made a valid point, "Since that’s the case, the two of you figure out a way to rescue Lan Xi. Zhong Li, mobilize troops, continue guarding Great Desolation Mountain."

...

The matters between the Heavenly Clan and the Demon Realm quickly reached the Imperial Authority Realm.

Quan Shaoqing was incredulous upon receiving the news.

Everyone acknowledged Lan Xi’s capabilities; if even she were defeated by the Demon Lord.

One could imagine how powerful this current Demon Lord must be.

Quan Shaoqing himself didn’t even realize, upon hearing Lan Xi was trapped in the Demon Realm, he felt like he had lost his soul.

Over the years, he had gotten used to her being by his side.

Now knowing she’s in danger, he found it hard to eat or sleep peacefully.

"Zhi Yi, I heard that you can fly freely in the Demon Realm. Is it true?" Quan Shaoqing put his reading aside and sought out Zhi Yi.

Zhi Yi nodded, "My Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan are unaffected by territory constraints. Naturally, we can."

"Great, accompany me to the Demon Realm." Quan Shaoqing commanded without hesitation.

Zhi Yi was taken aback, "Did I hear correctly, Master? Why would you head to the Demon Realm at a time like this? Haven’t you heard? The Demon Realm is about to wage war with the Heavenly Clan."

"That’s exactly why I’m going. Lan Xi has been in the Demon Realm for half a month without returning. If something happens to her, and the Demon Lord conquers the Heavenly Court, do you think he’ll spare our Imperial Authority Realm?" Quan Shaoqing asserted coldly, "If even Lan Xi isn’t his match, our Imperial Authority Realm is likely in danger as well. From what I understand, the Demon Lord killed Bu Qiao and reclaimed control over the Demon Realm."

Zhi Yi’s expression turned solemn upon hearing his words, unable to deny Quan Shaoqing’s keen analysis.

But surely there’s no need to rush this much!

After all, the demon war hasn’t even started yet!

It seemed like he was overanxious.

Quan Shaoqing didn’t give him a chance to explain, forcing Zhi Yi to take him to the Demon Realm.

Demon Palace.

Mi Xi and Ya barely managed to sneak in by pulling some strings.

"We need to find a way to locate the Demon Mirror to prevent any mishaps. Until we confirm the mirror’s whereabouts, we can’t reveal ourselves readily," Mi Xi said. At that moment, both were hiding in a secret underground chamber.

Having lived in the Demon Realm for some time, Mi Xi was quite familiar with the Demon Palace.

Now this underground secret room served perfectly as their hiding spot.

...

Meanwhile, Lan Xi was inside the Demon Mirror.

She was trapped in an illusion technique.

Upon entering the Demon Mirror, she saw lush mountains and rivers and her longed-for Ah Qing.

He was riding toward her, slowly.

He wore the robe she had personally sewn for him, adorned with a Jade Crown, his face impossibly beautiful, cold yet indifferent.

But he loved to smile at her.

Every time she saw his smile, she felt it was the warmest sunshine in the world.

She reached out slowly, unable to resist his allure, and mounted his horse.

He held her as they rode through a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

"Lan Xi, I want to marry you. Will you marry me?"

On horseback, Young Master Quan wrapped his arm around her waist, whispering in her ear.
