Chong Zi - Chapter 50 : Ruin & Achievement

Walking against the wind, there was murky water beneath his feet. Looking at the earth, it has become like a swamp. There are things floating from time to time along the way. Many bodies were submerged in water or hanging from treetops. There were humans and beasts, and their shapes were terrifying to look at. Chongzi rescued dozens of survivors and sent them to safety. When they reached the East China Sea, they saw that the sea water was still rising. Except for a few slightly higher hills, there was nowhere to stand.

The sky is connected to the earth, the earth is connected to the sky, the water circulates between the heavens and the earth, and the Tianhe gate was originally at the bottom of the sea.

Only one of the five gates has been opened and this has already led to such consequences. When he killed the Hundred-Eyed Demon with his own hands, he never would have imagined that it would cause so many people to die. In this world, humans would always have moments of guilt, and things that were unavoidable, would they have to forget about them again?

Chongzi smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt that someone was behind him, so he didn't look back and said, "Very good, my dog ​​has learned to lie to its owner."

"The Immortal Sect will handle this matter on its own. If Young Master interferes, would you still want to help him protect the world?"

"I'm not helping anyone, you're the one mutilating living things!"

Heavenly Demon was not angry, and said lightly, “Young Master is too soft-hearted, this weakness will be fatal, you will never be able to cultivate into a devil if you continue like this.”

Heavenly Demon clasped his hands, "It's not easy to block the Tianhe River gate. The Immortal Sect is coming soon, so Young Master must not stay for long."

"Don't forget, I used to be human, and you also wear human skin." Chongzi raised his hand and jumped into the sea.

Just as the Heavenly Demon had said, the Xianmen would definitely not remain silent when such a big thing happened in the world. It is not difficult to refine the Tianhe Gate, but it will take time to find materials to refine it. People didn't know what kind of suffering they were going to endure, and now they had to endure it. Not many people have this ability.

Chongzi entered the seabed, searched for the undercurrent along the coast, and finally found where the river gate was that day. The magical beast that took over to guard the Tianhe Gate had not yet arrived. The Tianhe Gate opened wide, pounced, almost sweeping him away.

The magic eye opened, and the flood was like a roaring beast.

The first time he really wanted to use this magic power, Chongzi checked his hands, and a Demon Sword appeared out of thin air.

The sword body exploded with dark red light, trembling excitedly, eager to try.

A series of muffled thunder sounded on the seabed, and demonic energy was summoned, and quickly gathered from all around, forming a huge seal in the sound of curses, following the tip of the sword tip, blocking the gate.

In order to save Yin Shuixian, Chongzi lost half of his magic power, but as a result, he stimulated the evil spirits, benefited from cultivation, and improved greatly. The seal went upriver, and the strong impact made him dizzy and almost unstable. Seeing that he was about to lose his support, he simply gritted his teeth and pushed the sword forward with all of his strength and both hands.

The Demonic Sword with the seal landed on the gate, forcibly blocking the gate.

The turbulent seawater around him gradually calmed down. The water from Tianhe no longer gushes out, and the impact force is much smaller. Chongzi gradually stopped working so hard, and stopped to breathe, feeling a little ironic - the great father has always had the ambition to destroy the Six Realms, who would have thought that his sword and magic power would one day be used by his own daughter to save people.

This time, the loss was huge, but it was fine to endure for a few hours. Now he only needs to wait for the Xianmen to find materials to repair, and then direct the water back to Tianhe.

"This is you." The familiar voice came again, expressing surprise.

He didn't want him to come so quickly, Chongzi had already prepared this time, and quickly retreated, still feeling the threatening sword spirit.

After returning to the sheath, Luo Yinfan glanced at the gate, "Was it you who blocked the gate?"

Chongzi did not answer.

Still the same, nothing could be hidden from him, and it was precisely because he saw things too clearly that he could be so rational.

Luo Yinfan didn't expect that the Demon Queen would come to help, so he turned his gaze towards her, "It was you who led me to kill the Hundred-Eyed Demon, and then destroyed the Tianhe Gate."

"Whatever you think," Chongzi was helpless, "I'm going. You sealed it yourself."

At that time, Luo Yinfan felt that it was wrong to kill the Hundred-Eyed Demon with his own hands, but Yin Shuixian's death shocked him, and he felt ashamed of his friend Xue Ling. After thinking about it, it was already too late. His sword helped the Demon Palace easily destroy the gate, causing such serious consequences. Under self-reproach, he immediately set off and rushed to the East China Sea to block the gate, but he didn't expect to encounter Chongzi.

Rarely was he able to right his wrongs, but so many innocent lives lost theirs because of this. Even if he had the heart to make amends, how could he be worth the heinous crime? Luo Yinfan sighed slightly, and there was a hint of rebuke in his majestic tone, "If you regret it, why do you want to commit a crime? Before committing a crime, why did you think about these millions of lives!"

Still want to teach him a lesson? Chongzi raised his face sharply, and even he called him vicious. What exactly is he doing? I'm the one who naturally has demonic aura or are they the ones who repeatedly abused and threw him into the ice prison? Since he had left it along with the past, what qualifications did he have to teach it?!

With extremely angry eyes, with a feeling he couldn't understand, Luo Yinfan was momentarily stunned.

His lips trembled slightly, Chongzi suddenly turned around and drew the Demon Sword, the gate reappeared, and the Tianhe water flowed out.

Falling into the devil, his words and deeds are always a bit extreme, Luo Yinfan frowned, and immediately closed the gap again, "Leave the Sword Demon!"

"Most of the magic power in the sword is with me. How can I let it be useless unless you kill me." Chongzi bit his lips and walked away.

The only person in the demon world who can become a demon, and commits such crimes, naturally can't let him stay in the world. Luo Yinfan immediately gathered his immortal strength and planned to give chase with his sword. Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him and inadvertently stopped him.

Wen Lingzhi touched a few objects with both hands and handed them over, “Principal and Palace Master Qinghua Zhuo have arrived, and ordered me to send them down to help His Highness repair the floodgates.”

“The gate has been blocked, and there is no need to rush to repair it,” Luo Yinfan said flatly, “Demon Empress Zi just came here. Since there are several heads guarding her, she will flee north, and you will ambush her with me.”

Wen Lingzhi raised his eyes, "Your Highness wants to kill him?"

“He was the one who caused this disaster but he can still come to fix it. That means kindness still resides in his heart,” Luo Yinfan shook his head, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, and quickly turned into a decision, “but he was born with a demonic aura, if he cultivates into a demon, it must be another disaster, and the common people must be the most important."

Wen Lingzhi hesitated, "I mean, Your Highness... Really don't remember?"

Luo Yinfan was about to leave when he heard the words and stopped again.

Remember what? The eyes just now, those eyes, seemed familiar. When I remember the past recently, some scenes always feel blurry, I feel it's due to obsession a while ago.

After being instructed by Yu Dudu, Hearing Lingzhi didn't dare to say more, and reminded, "Master, should we repair the floodgates first?"

After delaying these few words, thinking that the Zi Devil had gone far, and it was too late to catch up, Luo Yinfan nodded and didn't say anything else.

***

In the main hall of the Demon Palace, the Heavenly Demon held the bloodied Chongzi to the sofa, without saying a word or reproaching, only gave him a few pills, and used the Demon Race Healing Technique to heal his wounds.

The bleeding from the wound had gradually stopped, but the pain was still unbearable.

"You don't need to spend more magic power. Rest for a few days. I won't die," 

Chongzi reluctantly smiled. "With so many heads guarding the coast, I think I will be buried in the East China Sea this time. It is difficult for you to make arrangements for me in advance and save my life."

“You have also lost most of your people,” the Heavenly Demon said lightly, “Go to sleep.”

Chongzi said, "You regret choosing me?"

Heavenly Demon did not answer.

Chongzi raised his face and looked at the dreamy eyes, his voice suddenly lost strength and became weak, "Heavenly Demon, I don't like this place."

Heavenly Demon looked at him, "You can only be here."

"Who said that?!" Chongzi was excited, ignoring the pain, and stood up straight. "I can go, get out of here, the Six Realms is so big, why worry about having nowhere to go?!"

The Heavenly Demon stared at him.

Chongzi slowly stretched his arms to encircle his neck and buried his face in his, and whispered, "I don't know my father, let alone him, I can't do those things, they forced me. Don't force me anymore. Take me away, Shishu Mu. As long as you want to take me away, I didn't care that Shishu used me in the first place. Please don't force me anymore."

Long silence.

He suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid of losing your shelter when you leave the Demon Palace?"

Chongzi raised his face sharply, his eyes shining brightly, "Don't be afraid, let's go now!"

It had been a long time since he had used the cloud driving technique from the Immortal Gate. The two of them rode on small white clouds, floating silently in the sky. Chongzi leaned on his arm, and their hearts were as peaceful as the blue sky.

"Shishu Mu." 🥺

"Subordinates are Heavenly Demons."

"If we run away, Jiuyou will already know," Chongzi was a little uneasy, "Is he going to chase him? Come on, hurry up."

"When you and I came out of the Demon Palace, he knew that it made no difference to be faster or slower."

"Is he going to let us go?"

"Won't."

The expected answer, Chongzi didn't worry too much. This person always knows more than himself. As long as she was by his side, as if she didn't have to worry about anything, since she had been thinking of Wang Yue for a long time, she definitely had ways to deal with him.

"If you don't want to go, you can stay."

"Since Young Master wants to leave, it's meaningless for me to stay in the Demon Palace."

Chongzi whispered, "Sorry, I'm incompetent. I can't help you realize that ambition."

“I am the incompetent one,” The Heavenly Demon stared at him with dreamy eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering in the wind, “You have everything you need to become a demon lord, but you lack ambition. I can't do anything. turning you into a demon like your father."

Chongzi coughed lightly.

Heavenly Demon took her hand and withdrew her magic power, "You are too injured, and you shouldn't use your magic power easily these days, or else you will be counterattacked."

Chongzi pursed his lips and smiled, "Where are we going?"

"You can go wherever you want, Young Master."

"I like looking at the snow. Let's go north and find a snowy mountain to live in, shall we?"

"Okay."

The clouds are light, floating over the mountains, over the rivers, and into the vast sea of ​​clouds. A person was standing on the sea in front of them, and his white clothes were as cold as ice and snow.

Chongzi was stunned.

Without any words, or even without any warning, he raised his right hand, and his palm glowed with a golden light.

Unable to dodge in time, the Heavenly Demon immediately pulled Chongzi behind him and blocked the barrier. Chongzi also quickly recovered, but he refused to do anything with it, so he could only use his whole body to assist the Heavenly Demon barrier.

Two to one, they reluctantly accepted this move, and both sides each retreated two feet.

Ever since he came out of the East China Sea, he had been besieged by Yu Du and others. Fortunately, the Heavenly Demon made arrangements to save him first. This time, his magic power was forced up, and the wounds all over his body exploded again, and blood flowed out, causing the internal injuries to burst at the same time, and made him almost fall into the cloud.

"Young Master must not use mana." The Heavenly Demon used healing magic light to stop the bleeding.

"Escape from the East China Sea, can I still leave this time?" The voice was still calm, and he calmly lowered his gaze to Chongzi. "If you still have a good mind, you can remove the magic power and enter the Kunlun Ice Prison. You can save your life."

Eliminate magic power and enter the Ice Prison? Chongzi gritted his teeth, "What if I don't want to?"

Chasing A wave came and broke through the air, Luo Yinfan took over, no more words, a trick to kill, here Chongzi was seriously injured. Heavenly Demon wants to protect him, extremely difficult to parry, after ten moves, the two of them have no way out.

Knowing that it was dangerous to fight, he should have fought a common enemy, defeated him and fled. But how could Chongzi hurt Mu Yu?

Seeing that he was invincible, Heavenly Demon suddenly looked at Zi with a side face, "The only way is to return to the Demon Palace to temporarily escape him."

Yes, the most tactical Heavenly Demon, of course, has a plan to escape!

Those eyes had a dreamlike magic power, and Chongzi looked flustered in surprise, "Come back, will you accompany me?"

"Okay," Heavenly Demon didn't know what to do, and quickly backed away, "Let's go."

Chongzi followed closely.

The two of them didn't walk fast when they came out. It didn't take long for the two of them to escape. The inside of the Devil's Palace was still dark and the demons that came and went saluted as usual when they saw him, as if nothing had happened.

Walking into the hall, Chongzi sat down on the water essence sofa weakly, but the Heavenly Demon was standing by the far door and didn't follow.

"What should we do now?"

“Young Master cannot leave Demon Palace for the time being.”

"Then let's go after a while?"

Heavenly Demon did not reply, "Young Master still has affection for Luo Yinfan."

Chongzi lowered his head.

"Luo Yinfan has forgotten about you. No one can save you if Young Master becomes soft-hearted in the future."

"I understand."

"Remember, don't use any more magic power for three days."

Chongzi didn't answer, and suddenly raised his face to look at him.

The Heavenly Demon was still standing in the middle of the door, but the light that penetrated outside the hall door reflected off the white robes, making his figure appear even more hazy and dazzling.

Was it the first disciple of Nanhua, or the famous left guard of the Demon Palace? They were equally stable, confident, able to plan for him, taking care of everything before and after.

"Pay attention Jiuyou, this person is not simple." Soft tone.

Chongzi looked at him for a long time and nodded, "I know."

"Even if you know, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight him," Heavenly Demon sighed, "Forget it, you remember what I said, don't be reckless when you do things."

Chongzi smiled and said, "I won't be careless, don't worry."

Heavenly Demon nodded, “Young Master, rest first. I have to go out to do something and come back to accompany you later.”

Unexpectedly, Chongzi didn't force her to stay and hug her as usual, and didn't even ask what she was going to do, but just lay down on the water essence sofa according to her words, closed her eyes, and closed them tightly, as if she had never been in a lifetime. want to open it again.

After a long time, he suddenly whispered, "Sorry."

Chongzi did not answer.

There has been no movement or anger in the hall since then.

He tried his best to get rid of all the disturbing thoughts in his mind. He didn't think of anything, his ears couldn't hear, his eyes couldn't see, Chongzi lay stiff, always keeping his posture, not even daring to move a finger.

Open your eyes and wake up from the dream.

My heart hurts, it hurts so much, it feels a little bit broken, and there is liquid dripping from the gap and running into my eyes . He wanted to flow out, but he tried his best to block it, and it flowed back bit by bit.

I promise not to be careless.

I'm waiting for you to come back and take me away.

...

Turn?

One hour?

I don't know how long.

...

Finally, something enveloped him.

It was a piece of clothing, with a familiar fresh scent.

Chongzi immediately opened his eyes, "Heavenly Demon."

“Heavenly Demon is no more,” a slender black silhouette stood in front of the sofa like a ghost, but it was Wang Yue,” Luo Yinfan killed him.” 😡

"No, no, he's here now!" Chongzi shook his head repeatedly, "He saw me sleeping and covered me with a blanket. How could he die!?

He turned around and lifted a white robe, and shouted outside the hall, "Heavenly Demon! Enter! Enter! Heavenly Demon!"

"The inner demon eye he cultivates, soul deception technique," Wang Yue stretched out his hand, and a white robe automatically flew into his hand, "What you saw just now was an illusion, and you must be very clear about it."

"You lied! You lied to me!" Chongzi was furious, "He even talked to me!"

Wang Yue stopped arguing with him and threw a white robe at him.

Chongzi held the robe and stared at it for a long time, suddenly raised his eyes and smiled, "You saved him, you can repair his soul, right? I'll give you the remaining half of the magic power..." (Pul-puk Chongzi 😭)

“Not a single soul remains, this is the fate of those who break their oath to the Demon God,” sighed Wang Yue, without any turmoil in her tone, “She once swore to always be loyal to the Demon Palace, to find a powerful Demon Venerable for the Hunters. Devil, and helped him become the Lord of the Six Realms, but when it's all over, he wants to take you away."

Is lost? Chongzi shook his head and muttered: "There is an oath, so why did he promise to take me away? He is not that stupid." (That's because Shishu Mu loves you Chongzi 😢)

Wang Yue said, "What do you think?"

He destroyed it and made it.

What is love? What is hate?

Without his designs, Uncle would not end up like that, and he would follow his master to live peacefully and peacefully on Zizhu Peak forever.

He said to her, sorry.

Sorry, what do you mean? Apologizing for what you've done, or feeling guilty for leaving him alone?

Dead? Chongzi suddenly changed color, threw a white robe on the ground, and scolded through gritted teeth, "Die? He really died? Died so quickly? This dog!"

Almost in a panic, he kicked both of his legs violently, and when he raised his hand, the robe flew into the air, was torn into countless pieces, and fell like white and fragrant snowflakes.

"You made me fall into this field, and you want to die before I settle things with you?"

"Heavenly Demon, aren't you my dog? You have to do whatever I tell you to do. I don't let you die, you dare to die!"

"Do you think you will die after you die? Come back to me!"

...

"In your heart, I am nothing! You caused me to die because of injustice, caused me to be imprisoned in the Ice Prison with broken bones, caused me to be abandoned by my teacher, and caused me to live in such a ghost place. Do you think that if you die , I will forgive you? You listen, never! Never! You have used me, used me as a tool. If you only think of the Six Realms and your demons, you only want to fulfill yourself! Fulfill your own ambitions! You did it on purpose! Do you think you can atone for your sins by dying and forcing me? Forget it! Don't even think about it!"

 Chongzi stared viciously at the scraps of white cloth all over the ground, and in revenge, he laughed out loud.

"The soul that flew away also wants me to take this road, loyal minion, you are really a dog! I told you, it's impossible! You are dreaming!"

"It's good to die! It's too late for me to be happy!"

"Go! Never come back!"

...

Hate or not? The answer was yes, he not only hated him, he hated him even more, even more than Yan Zhenzhu, hated his scheme to make him lose everything, his Uncle, and his Master.

However, he also cares about her, because she is the one who cares about him the most right now.

When she was alive, he could scold her, laugh at her, throw her away, humiliate her without hesitation, and then lie down in her arms with peace of mind, sleep peacefully, and have sweet dreams.

The people who loved him died for him, and those who hurt him died for him too. He doesn't even have anyone to hate!

Has anyone ever experienced such despair? It's not that you can't love him, you can't hate him. That's because love is not sweet, and hate is not hateful.

He was hysterical and cursing, but his vision was becoming more and more blurry, as if something was blocking him.

"Heavenly Demon, you dog!"

"To die so easily, that's too cheap for you! Come back to me! Come back!"

...

A grunt mixed with laughter echoed through the empty hall, shrill and piercing, like a ghost crying.

Wang Yue silently stood and watched, until he was tired of scolding, and his voice was hoarse, and then he spoke laggedly, "He didn't hesitate to use his death to reach you. What are you still obsessed with?"

"No, he won't do that!" Chongzi suddenly understood, grabbed the front of his robe, his voice was hoarse, his voice was full of hatred, "It's you! You brought my teacher here! You won't let go. If you pass us it's because you used my teacher's hand to kill him!"

Wang Yue did not refuse, “This is his punishment for betraying the Demon God. He should have expected Luo Yinfan to be waiting outside.”

Chongzi let go and staggered backwards.

He had expected it, had expected it! So, did he want to take her away by chance, or did he actually use his own death to keep her and achieve her?

The answer never seems to be known.

Chongzi smiled sadly, "Very good, come play against me! Playing games with you, why should I be sad, why should I be angry?! I don't care! Heavenly Devil, do you want to make me so? I'm not as good as you want!"

Wang Yue said, "Do you hate it? This is also a punishment for your betrayal of the Demon God."

"You killed him!"

"You can kill me."

There is no hesitation, no reason, can't match the bone-devouring hatred at this moment. With Chongzi's eyes, he used all his strength. Without any hesitation, he slapped his hands and hit his chest hard.

Within the muffled sound, Wang Yue did not move at all.

Reluctantly using magic power, the wound opened, and the sudden pain finally forced his crazed mind to calm down. Chongzi stared at him in horror, and after a while, he slowly revealed a sneer, "Your mana isn't any weaker than mine, you don't need me at all."

"Ever since you rescued Yin Shuixian, your cultivation base has been greatly damaged. Also because you exhausted mana without permission, I can naturally surpass you," Wang Yue lifted her chin slightly, "But you are still wrong, even if you are not as good as me, I am still willing to take care of you." to help you, just because I need you."

"It's not me you need, you want to use my blood to awaken the Demonic Order and summon demons from the virtual sky."

"Being reincarnated without the gates of hell, Heavenly Demon has passed on the devil's blood to you."

Chongzi stretched out his hand, "Where is the Demon Order, bring it to me and I will summon it for you."

"You can't do it now. When the time comes, I will give it to you." Wang Yue hugged him. "Now it's my turn to hug you, my queen. If you hate it, we can destroy the Six Realms."

"Go out!"

🌸🌸🌸

Even the Heavenly Demon had willingly forgotten his original intention of subverting the Six Realms into the devils because he couldn't bear to see Chongzi tormented in the Demon Palace.

He remembered the innocent and kind Chongzi when he was his Shishu Mu in Nanhua.

Even though he had sworn allegiance, he still went to see Luo Yinfan but had to die at his hands.

Why did the Heavenly Demon go to see Luo Yinfan? Your curiosity will be answered in the next chapter.

Finally...

The person Chongzi believes can protect him in the Demon Palace must die for him 😭
