The Demon Lord was surrounded, and he reached out to grab Ling Zhu by the neck, lifting her high into the air. Xiang Xueer hurriedly thrust the Azure Wind Sword into his heart.
"Let her go!" Xiang Xueer shouted. The Demon Lord roared in anger and flung her several meters away, then turned to look at the Rhinoceros Horn on his lower back, staggering and nearly falling to the ground.
"Ling Zhu, are you okay?" Lian Cheng Xue rushed to Ling Zhu's side, helping her up. Her throat had been crushed, and she struggled to breathe, her face turning red.
Lian Cheng Xue widened her eyes and yelled at Xiang Xueer: "Shirley, hurry over here! Ling Zhu, Ling Zhu..."
Xiang Xueer was shocked and scrambled towards Ling Zhu. Ling Zhu's eyes were wide open, her pupils slowly dilating as she seemed on the verge of losing consciousness. She quickly covered her throat, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Ling Zhu, it's okay, you will be fine!"
Ling Zhu struggled to open her mouth as if trying to say something. Xiang Xueer leaned in closer to hear her faint words: "I'm... very happy to have met friends. Now, I can finally reunite with my husband in the afterlife!"
A gust of wind blew by, and Ling Zhu transformed into a wisp of green smoke, smiling as she drifted away. Xiang Xueer desperately tried to grasp her with her hands, but she had already vanished into thin air. She clenched her fists, tears streaming down her face: "Ling Zhu, we were all so happy to meet you!"
The sudden loss of a good friend struck Xiang Xueer deeply, causing her to completely forget about the Demon Lord. Suddenly, they heard Fat Ancestor shouting nearby: "Demon Lord, don't think you can escape!"
Only then did they realize what was happening and turned to see the stumbling Demon Lord. Filled with mixed emotions of grief and hatred, they rushed forward to deliver a final blow. However, Wolf King suddenly appeared in wolf form, carrying the injured Demon Lord and turning to flee.
Just as Xiang Xueer was about to chase after them, Fat Ancestor quickly said: "Don't chase after him; this guy has been hit by Black Dog Blood and Rhinoceros Horn. He won't survive for three days. Quickly return the Azure Wind Sword and complete the Light of the Sun and Moon."
Understanding now, Xiang Xueer waved her hand, sending the Azure Wind Sword flying back into the barrier. It transformed back into human form once more. Finally, with the combined strength of five people, they broke through the darkness and illuminated the human realm.
In space, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the sun's original appearance. Immediately afterward, the demonic power of the rampaging monsters diminished significantly, causing them to flee in panic. Meanwhile, beneath Sky Beyond Mountain, there remained a group of wolves that had not yet scattered.
Looking down from the mountain's peak, Xiang Xueer roared: "Beasts! The Demon Lord is dead! You all better get lost right now; otherwise, I'll take your lives!"
The wolf pack cautiously took a step back, and suddenly, one by one, they all knelt on one knee. Xiang Xueer was taken aback; what was going on here?
Hidden in the shadows, the Serpent Empress observed this scene and her eyes widened in surprise. "I didn't expect this little girl to have killed the Demon Lord, causing this group of demons to bow to her. It seems the demon realm has a new master!"
Since that was the case, I, the Serpent Empress, should also come out to gain some benefits. With that thought, she soared into the air, and a massive Crimson Python landed among the demons. "The Serpent Empress challenges the Myriad Demons; I respectfully invite the new Demon Lord to ascend."
New Demon Lord? Xiang Xueer frowned as she stared at the suddenly appearing Serpent Empress. What was this scoundrel trying to do? It was as if she wanted to drag me into a pit of fire. I am an Exorcist and have no desire to become any kind of Demon Lord.
Lian Cheng Xue was equally confused. At this moment, the Five Divine Artifacts Ancestor, who had completed the barrier, walked over to Xiang Xueer’s side. "This is a rule of the demon realm: anyone who wishes to become the Demon Lord must kill the previous generation. Since you have killed the Demon Lord, they will automatically recognize you as the new master."
Is that so? Xiang Xueer furrowed her brow tightly and immediately refused, "You're joking! I don't want to be any kind of Demon Lord, nor do I want to rule the demon realm!"
"Shirley, we all know you don't want that," Fat Ancestor said while glancing at the scheming Serpent Empress. "If you don't become the Demon Lord, then this demon realm will descend into chaos as everyone fights for the throne. Moreover, once you become the Demon Lord, you can manage them in an orderly manner; only then can both realms truly enjoy lasting peace!"
I see now; what Fat Ancestor said made perfect sense. If this position were taken by the Serpent Empress, it could lead to devastation in the human realm. Since that's the case, it would be better for me to rule; at least I have good intentions and can bring temporary peace to the demon realm.
A confident smile appeared on Xiang Xueer's lips as she revealed her royal demeanor. The Myriad Demons knelt down in submission, and the Serpent Empress looked at Xiang Xueer with a sly smile: "May the eighth generation Demon Lord reign for eternity and unify the demon realm!"
In a dramatic turn of events, Xiang Xueer unexpectedly became the ruler of the demon realm in an instant, while the Serpent Empress began following closely behind her with an air of a great general.
The ancient Five Divine Artifacts Ancestor nodded in satisfaction, still guarding atop Sky Beyond Mountain. "It seems everything has been settled. Once we finish these matters, it will be time for us to return to our respective places!"
Return? Where are you all planning to go? Xiang Xueer turned to look at them and asked, "Aside from Kongtong Yinshi Ancestor returning to Southern Mountain of the Five Peaks and Fuxi Qin Ancestor going back to the Nüwa clan, where are the other three planning to go?"
"Well!" Fat Ancestor looked up at the blue sky and suddenly laughed heartily with abandon. "With our mission complete, we can roam freely and enjoy ourselves!"
It was truly leisurely. Xiang Xueer cast an envious glance as the Azure Wind Sword Ancestor transformed into the Azure Wind Sword and returned to her hand. The Fuxi Qin and Kongtong Seal were restored, while the Fat Ancestor and Shennong Ding Ancestor roamed the world together.
Watching the backs of several people as they left, Xiang Xueer suddenly remembered something very important: she needed to quickly restore the souls of Li Yunyang and Lan Ran Qingtian.
Xiang Xueer prepared to head to the Snowy Mountain Summit. Lian Cheng Xue kept her head down and said nothing along the way. She turned her head and glared at the Serpent Empress who was following her: "Hey, I said that's enough, don't follow us!"
Upon hearing this, the Serpent Empress immediately took a step back with a grin, bowing respectfully: "Yes, Demon Lord, I will leave right away!"
As she spoke, a black whirlwind swept beneath her feet and she vanished without a trace. Xiang Xueer snorted coldly; she still hadn't settled accounts with Gu Liu Ma for what happened last time, yet the Serpent Empress dared to appear before her in a subservient manner.
Once Lian Cheng Xue saw the Serpent Empress leave, she finally asked: "Shirley, I didn't expect you really want to become the Demon Lord. But have you thought about this? How will Brother Li choose then?"
Li Yunyang? Upon hearing this, Xiang Xueer's expression immediately darkened. Indeed, that guy Feng Qingyang had never looked at her favorably. Now that she had entered the Demonic Path and even became the so-called Demon Lord...
"If that's really the case, then it means we are truly fated but not meant to be!" As she thought of this, she couldn't help but stand still and look ahead. She lifted her leg and leaped onto Taotie: "Let's go. It's too late to say anything now; we'll take it one step at a time."
Location: Nüwa Clan.
Gunaara and Duck had just reached the village entrance when they were surrounded by a group of Demon Wolves. Following closely behind them was her father Gu Zhe, leading the warriors of the Nüwa Clan as they charged out to engage in battle with the Wolf Demon.
The fighting continued for half a day, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky began to disperse gradually. Seeing this, the wolf pack immediately started to retreat as an object flew swiftly through the sky above.
