Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 90: The War Continues in Troubled Times
Just as Pinglili was about to say something to Mo Yi with tears in her eyes, a rather depressing yet extremely familiar voice suddenly came from above her head: "Hey, is there a sad story being performed here?"
Ying Lili and Mo Yi turned around at the same time. Mo Yi frowned slightly. If Ying Lili had not grabbed Mo Yi's hand in time, Mo Yi's Dragon Slaying Chant would have been unsheathed again.
Two figures floated in the sky. The leading man had white hair and beard, and was still wearing his usual linen black robe. His dead-wood-like face had a playful expression, while the woman behind him still wore the same bronze mask that hadn't changed for thousands of years. She was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, light and agile.
Who else could these two comers be except Wei Xingying and Qingluan, who were previously left in Yonghui City to recuperate? But why did they come here at this time?
Seeing these two old friends, the gloom in Pinglili's heart suddenly dissipated for no apparent reason. A smile suddenly blossomed on her tired face for the first time in recent days: "Damn old man? Qingluan?! Why are you here?!"
"I was afraid someone would bully you, so I came to see you." Wei Xingying's tone was not very good. Perhaps he had noticed that Ying Lili was crying before, so he gave Mo Yi a fierce look, obviously thinking that Mo Yi was the culprit who made Ying Lili cry.
"..." Ying Lili seemed to have heard the innuendo in Wei Xingying's words and knew that he had misunderstood Mo Yi. Of course, she was not afraid of what Wei Xingying would do to Mo Yi, but she keenly felt that Mo Yi's anger was gradually rising. She suddenly smiled bitterly in embarrassment and subconsciously clasped Mo Yi's wrist tightly, as if she was afraid that he would attack her violently again.
After all, it was Mo Yi who had severely injured Wei Xingying in the Suzaku Temple before, so subconsciously, Ying Lili wanted to separate the two dangerous .
However, Wei Xingying landed in front of the two men fearlessly, and looked up and down at Ying Lili with a pair of sharp eyes. Ying Lili looked quite embarrassed at the moment. She was in a state of decadence for the past few days, which made it unlikely for her to have a good image. In addition, she was thrown out by Mo Yi without any hesitation, and her long skirt was a little damaged and dirty. In addition, she looked tearful just now. At this moment, Ying Lili really looked like a wronged young wife.
Therefore, Wei Xingying's expression suddenly became uncertain. Originally, Wei Xingying didn't like Mo Yi very much. Seeing Gong Lili like this, he felt even more angry. He clicked his tongue twice and glanced at Mo Yi with a veiled hint: "It seems that some people still haven't learned how to be gentle with women!"
"When is it your turn to criticize my woman, Mo Yi?!" Mo Yi snorted coldly, his anger suppressed to the extreme. If Wei Xingying didn't know the friendship between this person and Gong Lili, he was afraid that even a hundred lives would not be enough to compensate him.
But how could Wei Xingying be such a pushover? He was already furious with Mo Yi. He had just received news that Mo Yi had led the Nayu tribe in a crushing defeat against Nangong Huang's Ruoye army in Mingsha City, driving the entire Ruoye Cloud Cavalry stationed in Mingsha City back south of the Hengyue River and completely taking over the territory once occupied by the Kongming tribe, leaving the Ruoye tribe empty-handed. This had already filled Wei Xingying with rage, and now, seeing Yan Lili in this state, he only added to Mo Yi's bad reputation, believing that he had not treated her well.
"Don't think you are so great. Let me tell you, even if everyone in the Xu Ming world is afraid of you, I am not afraid! If you have the guts, fight me first!" New and old grudges came to his mind. Wei Xingying rolled up his sleeves fearlessly and prepared to fight with Mo Yi. However, he did not expect that Qingluan behind him gave him a loud slap on the head without any hesitation.
"Alright, alright, stop talking!" Gong Lili quickly stepped forward to block the explosive Mo Yi. Mo Yi had already been injured, and she couldn't bear to see him fight again. Most importantly, she didn't want Mo Yi to seriously injure Wei Xingying again. Furthermore, she knew Wei Xingying cared about her from the bottom of his heart.
After Wei Xingying was given a slap from Qingluan, he unexpectedly calmed down a little, but his expression was still angry. Gong Lili quickly changed the subject: "Why are you here?" He said this to Qingluan.
Qingluan quickly stepped in front of Wei Xingying to stop him from raging. She nodded slightly to Gong Lili and Mo Yi as a courtesy, then said seriously, " To be honest, I'm here on the orders of my master, the Holy Mother of Mount Li, to seek your help."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Not only did Gong Lili and Mo Yi look at each other in surprise, but the people around them also looked at each other in confusion.
The Holy Mother of Mount Li in Penglai Wonderland! She was an immortal comparable to the God of Shamo, Jianyi, and the legendary number one figure in Penglai Wonderland. How could such a being seek the help of Yinglili and Mo Yi?
"It was the first key to unlock the seal of the Demon Realm that day. Currently, demonic energy is surging beneath the Ruoye Clan's Nanhai Imperial City..."
Upon hearing this, Ying Lili's brows furrowed into a ball. She immediately thought of Long Yu's situation. Wasn't the reason Long Yu returned to the South Sea to suppress the demons? Now that the demons were so powerful, Long Yu's safety...
Ping Lili didn't even dare to think about it. She hurriedly interrupted Qingluan: "How is Long Yu? Is he okay?"
Seeing that Gong Lili immediately thought of Uncle Long Yu's safety, Wei Xingying felt a little comforted, and the depression in his heart also subsided a little: "Uncle is fine. The demon clan has only opened the first seal now, and there are still two seals. With Uncle Long Yu's strength, if there are no accidents, he should have no problem suppressing it for another hundred years. However, this is assuming that the situation does not deteriorate..."
Although he was angry, Wei Xingying was not vague when it came to serious matters. Although he did not want to seek Mo Yi's help at all, when it came to the safety of the Ruoye tribe's Nanhai Imperial City, he could not act on impulse.
Moreover, he knew that his uncle was such a proud man and was so protective of Gong Lili. If the situation had not become so serious that he could hardly control it, he would definitely not agree to Penglai Fairyland's proposal.
"Aren't there three keys to the Demon Realm that open the door to the Demon Realm?" At this time, Yan Zheng and others had already walked over, but Yan Zheng's face was extremely solemn. He had also heard some legends about the Ruoye tribe's South China Sea Imperial City and the demon tribe. At this time, he immediately thought of the crux of the problem.
"That's right. During the great battle between gods and demons, three great masters sealed the demons and left behind three keys to the demon world. To unlock the seal on the demons, we must use the three keys to the demon world to open all three seals." Qingluan's tone sounded heavy.
"That purple-spotted Shura stole one from your Penglai Fairyland before? Where are the other two? They can't fall into the hands of the demons again, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" Ping Lili frowned, but had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Yes, so our current plan is to find the other two missing keys to the Demon Realm before the demons do. This is why my master asked you for help." Qingluan finally said in one breath the real purpose of her and Wei Xingying's coming here.
"Us? Let us help find the key to the demon world?" This matter concerns Long Yu's safety, so Ying Lili will certainly not sit idly by. However, she still has some self-knowledge. From what they said, Penglai Fairyland and Ruoye Clan are both looking for the two remaining keys to the demon world. However, if they can't find it, what else can she and Mo Yi do?
"During the great war between gods and demons that day, three masters were present: Senior Zhuo Ao of Yonghui City, an ancestor of the Ruoye tribe of the South Sea, and Lord Jianyi of your Shamo. The three keys to the Demon Realm were kept by each of them. The Ruoye master passed away that day, so before his death, he gave his key to the Yueling Palace in our Penglai Fairyland for safekeeping. The other two have been with Senior Zhuo Ao and Lord Jianyi ever since."
After these words were spoken, Ying Lili and Mo Yi looked at each other and finally understood why Qing Luan came to them.
Now that Zhuo Ao is missing, Mo Yi is Zhuo Ao's successor, and Ying Lili is the reincarnation of Jianyi, everyone will naturally subconsciously think that the clues to the other two keys to the demon world lie with them.
However, they had never heard of the key to the demon world.
"Zhuo Ao himself is currently in your Penglai Fairyland." After a long pause, Mo Yi finally revealed the secret he knew. After all, it concerned the demon clan, and the matter was of no small importance. But Qing Luan acted as if she had known this all along: "My master and Senior Zhuo Ao have already met, but Senior Zhuo Ao said that the key to the demon world disappeared many years ago and is not with him. He also told my master that you should find his lost key for him."
As soon as these words came out, Mo Yi's blood rushed to his head and he almost wanted to curse. Zhuo Ao, this old man, really knows how to order people around: "Why should I run errands for that damn old man?!" Mo Yi was naturally unwilling in his heart.
"You're his last disciple, a lifelong learner of his unique skills. It's only natural that you do something for him." As soon as Qing Luan said this, Mo Yi suddenly felt the urge to tear Zhuo Ao into pieces. He knew that old man had no good intentions! But as soon as he said this, Mo Yi knew he had no room for refusal.
But at this time, Ying Lili's heart was even heavier. Kamui's soul had been destroyed in the battle that day, and he had already turned into dust. Where could she find the key to the demon world belonging to Kamui?
However, she knew she had no reason to refuse. Not to mention that this matter concerned Long Yu's safety, even if it had nothing to do with the Ruoye Clan, she couldn't sit idly by. She knew that if the demons broke the seal and returned to the Void Netherworld, there would be another devastating disaster. The Void Netherworld would be plunged into a bloodbath. When the nest is overturned, how could the eggs remain intact? Even Sha Mo would not be immune.
Moreover, the most important thing is that although Yao Ji had told her with certainty that as long as Jian Yi's soul disappeared, the curse of Suzaku would disappear as well. However, at this time, Jian Yi's soul was already destroyed, but the curse did not disappear. Her purpose of returning to the Xu Ming Realm was still not achieved. She had to stay in the Xu Ming Realm to continue looking for a way to break the curse, and even find the method to refine the legendary sky stone. During this period, it would not be a hindrance to her to look for the whereabouts of the key to the demon world.
Ping Lili closed her eyes slightly and sighed. She suddenly felt herself becoming more and more integrated into this virtual world. She wondered if she would feel reluctant to leave if she had to one day in the future?
There are more and more people here that she worries about, but the more she worries about, the heavier the burden becomes. Ping Lili sighed deeply, thinking that she is destined to be a hard-working person. It seems that she is not qualified to continue to be decadent. Even for Senior Brother Wu Su and Yao Ji, she has to be strong again.
She looked at Mo Yi beside her, but suddenly felt that everything was just a passing cloud. As long as he was by her side, what was there to fear even in the midst of blood and rain, or in the midst of chaos and war?
For no reason, a wonderful idea suddenly flashed through Gong Lili's mind. If one day he could brush off his clothes and throw away the sword in his hand, and travel to the ends of the earth with Mo Yi, and walk through the clouds, how leisurely it would be?
This is your destiny, your destiny as a wizard.
What sins had she committed in her past life to deserve this damned fate? At this moment, she felt Mo Yi suddenly hold her hand. She silently interlocked her fingers with his and said to Qing Luan with a burning heart, "Don't worry, leave the two Demon Realm Keys to us. We will definitely find a way to find them before the demons do!"
It's really a situation where one wave has not yet subsided when another wave comes. The smoke of gunpowder fills the air and the smoke of war still rises in troubled times!
