Ling Qianji frowned upon seeing this and followed.
“Brother, you have, after all, returned…”
Who would have thought that the Lord of the Demon Realm, Demon Lord Ling Qianji, was the Heavenly Emperor’s own brother! Even that demonic energy was a forgery created with a divine artifact…
Hearing the Heavenly Emperor’s words, Ling Qianji furrowed his brow. “Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, you must be mistaken. I am the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm! Your brother… died twenty thousand years ago.”
“Sigh…”
The Heavenly Emperor sighed helplessly.
After that, the two traveled in silence, the atmosphere incredibly bizarre…
After an unknown duration of walking, the Heavenly Emperor stopped, his gaze fixed on a spot not far ahead, and spoke in a faint voice, “She is over there…”
“Senior Sister!”
Ling Qianji spotted the crystal coffin suspended in the air not far away and leaped over with swift movements.
Looking at the girl within the crystal coffin, devoid of any sign of life, tears involuntarily streamed from his eyes, falling onto the crystal coffin. Ling Qianji clenched his fists, “Who! Who did this!”
The Heavenly Emperor sighed, his gaze drifting into the distance. He organized his thoughts before speaking, fabricating a story, “She… was ambushed by the Evil God while fighting him… I’m sorry, I couldn’t save her…”
“Where is he?”
The Heavenly Emperor replied, “Dead… killed by her own hands…”
Before he finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly sensed something. His eyes narrowed, and he stepped on lotuses, attempting to approach Ling Qianji, but was repelled by a powerful spiritual energy.
This is bad!
“No! Brother!”
The Heavenly Emperor steadied himself, his face etched with anxiety, and tried to charge forward again. Halfway there, he was blocked by a powerful barrier.
Having been severely injured earlier, his spiritual power was sealed by Old Lord Lao Zi, so he couldn’t break this barrier at present.
At this moment, inside the barrier.
Ling Qianji gently raised his hand and pushed aside the lid of the crystal coffin. He softly tidied the strands of hair on the girl’s forehead in the coffin, murmuring, “I will bring you back to life, Senior Sister… I haven’t even tasted your cooking yet…”
As he spoke, Ling Qianji’s aura began to surge uncontrollably. With a crack, the divine artifact that faked his demonic energy shattered into several pieces, rendered useless.
His gaze shifted, and the red markings on his forehead instantly turned into a white-gold hue…
In the next second, Ling Qianji popped a dark red pill into his mouth, then placed his hand on the crystal coffin, muttering incantations. Before long, his spiritual energy began to surge ceaselessly towards the girl in the crystal coffin…
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Qianji’s complexion turned ashen, and his hair gradually turned white…
*Pfft—*
Due to excessive spiritual energy loss, Ling Qianji couldn’t hold back and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Gradually, the white-gold markings on his forehead began to fade, and finally, they vanished completely! But the next second, where the white-gold markings had disappeared, the familiar red markings reappeared…
The Heavenly Emperor, seeing this from outside the barrier, shouted anxiously, “Brother! Stop! You’ll fall into demonic possession if you continue like this!”
“As long as she can return! What does it matter if I fall into the demonic path! Besides! I am the Demon Lord by nature!”
“Aaaargh!”
A powerful aura instantly rippled outwards, shattering even the barrier Ling Qianji had set up himself!
Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor rushed in, catching Ling Qianji as he fell from mid-air. Looking at the man who had completely succumbed to demonic possession, the Heavenly Emperor sighed helplessly, “Alas… Brother, why must you go through all this? You knew all along… that she and we… were never from the same world…”
