Sheng Fu

Guangli opened her eyes just as that gentle breeze began to rise.

But at this moment, Her Majesty the Queen's face was filled with disbelief.

“I’ve thought of many people, but I never imagined it would be you.” Guangli’s eyes were filled with a deep sense of loneliness.

Is this throne really that alluring?

"Sister, you've worked hard on the government, but unfortunately, after forcibly restoring half of the Demon Realm, your life is destined to end soon. Why not entrust this great cause to me? I will definitely make the Demon Realm rise again and regain its former glory," Guangtai said to his elder sister expressionlessly.

The two are siblings who share a deep bond of blood.

Guangli was momentarily flustered.

Nothing in the world is more heartbreaking than betrayal by one's own siblings or closest relatives.

Guangtai's heart surged like a tide, his aura gradually rising, from the early stage of Lingxiao to the peak of Lingxiao, then flooding thousands of mountains, slowly entering the early stage of Wuji.

Guangli was quite surprised and said, "You've actually entered the Boundless Realm too?"

What Guangli didn't expect was that Guangtai also exuded a ghostly aura.

"After my sister and other races joined forces to kill that ancient beast, I secretly disposed of its corpse and refined its inner core. I was lucky enough to get what I wanted," Guang Taizhi said with a smug smile.

As far as Guangli knew, after the Taigu Tianhu was killed, his body and soul were completely destroyed, leaving no trace in the world.

"You're quite adept at finding loopholes," Guangli said with a smile that was both admiring and saddening.

Guangtai stood with his hands behind his back and said, "We are blood relatives, and I hope that my sister will grant my request."

Guangli asked calmly, "When did you get involved with the God Emperor?"

Guangtai's heart sank, but when he thought that he would be the king of the demon realm after tonight, he didn't think too much about it and said frankly, "A long time ago, thanks to the God Emperor's guidance on my cultivation, otherwise I would not have been able to refine the inner core of the Primordial Heavenly Tiger."

At this point, Guangli closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"Sister, rest assured, the Demon Realm will surely become even more glorious under my rule," Guang Taizhi said proudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guangtai sensed something was wrong. An invisible field rose up within the dojo, completely obscuring the secrets of heaven.

The Demon Queen opened her eyes again, her aura soaring to the heavens. An even more surging Netherworld True Essence spread throughout the dojo, a sight that shocked Guangtai.

"How is that possible? You were clearly severely injured!" Guangtai said with a grim expression.

But Guangli's aura grew increasingly turbulent and vast, as if ten thousand majestic mountains were pressing down upon her. Guangtai knelt down before Her Majesty the Queen with a thud.

Guangli stood up and walked slowly over, forcing back her tears as she said, "Have you ever considered that the fact that humans and spirits came to the demon realm together to mine resources was all a trap set for you?"

Guangtai gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious expression, "I had such a guess, but I also know that the Origin Chip is in your hands. If you delay for a long time, you will recover your strength."

"I had no choice but to take this gamble."

Guangli sighed deeply and said, "I've thought about many people in my clan, but I never expected that it would be you."

“This is treason, and I cannot forgive you.”

The pressure from the Netherworld grew heavier and heavier. Before Guangtai could even speak, Guangli slammed her palm down on her younger brother's head. Then, a large number of Netherworld runes surged into his soul, planting a Netherworld contract.

After doing all this, Guangli collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

At this moment, Yuwen Jun emerged from the shadows behind him. Seeing this scene of fratricide, he was also in a daze. He slowly walked up to Guangli, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know where to begin.

Silence pervaded the temple.

After an unknown amount of time, Guangli wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and spoke first: "So, we'll send him to the Chaos Space as bait?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun glanced at Guangli's haggard face and asked softly, "How are you feeling right now?"

"If you are very tired, you can rest for a while longer."

Upon hearing this, Guangli weakly nestled into Yuwenjun's arms.

"My brother is not dead yet. Can I take his place and become the bait?" Guangli cried with her eyes closed.

Yuwen Jun carefully embraced the Queen of the Demon Realm, who was extremely vulnerable at that moment.

Yuwen Jun gently reminded him, "He has already colluded with the God Emperor, and he also has wolfish ambitions. If he comes to power, he may bring even more bloodshed and chaos to the Demon Realm. The fact that he already has the intention to kill you is enough to prove that he has no morality in his heart, only power."

Guangli's heart had never been so chaotic.

Yuwen Jun continued to remind him, "You are the one who carries on the legacy of the Demon Realm. You cannot afford to make any mistakes. If you do, all the great achievements we have made will be lost."

"If your will falters now, the God Emperor's iron cavalry will crush the entire Demon Realm."

"The remnants of the Purple Gold Alliance have not yet been dealt with. At this moment, we have reached the most critical stage of the plan."

"You need to pull yourself together."

"One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand. Think of the Nine Nether Sparrow. He spent his whole life fighting for the Demon Realm, but in the end, he was destroyed both in body and soul."

"Think of the demon warriors who died on the battlefield!"

"We cannot let their blood be shed in vain, and we cannot let the remaining creatures of the demon realm follow their old path again."

"The flame of civilization has just been lit, and now is the perfect time for you to work diligently and make the most of it."

Guangli's heartbeat was very loud, and Yuwen Jun could tell from it that Guangli's spirit was gradually withering away.

"Cheer up, there's still a long road ahead," Yuwen Jun comforted him softly.

After an unknown amount of time, Guangli, supported by Yuwen Jun, slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at her younger brother with a blank expression.

"It was your own choice to take this path, so don't blame your sister." A fierce glint finally flashed in Guangli's eyes.

Then, Guangli personally placed the Origin Chip in her younger brother's palm, secretly activating the Netherworld Contract. Guangtai also instantly stood up, merging himself with the Origin Chip. Yuwen Jun formed a hand seal, and in a moment, the three disappeared from the dojo.

Outside the dojo.

After an unknown amount of time, Qingyu woke up from her daze.

The Queen's soft voice rang in his ears: "I am no longer in the temple. Remember, no one is allowed to approach this place until I return. As for all official business of the Demon Realm, all of it shall be carried out in the Dragon Virtue Hall."

Qingyu's expression suddenly turned solemn. He turned around and saw that the Queen had already disappeared.

In the chaotic space.

The sky is full of stars, and the moonlight shines on the boundless world.

Deep in the dark forest, on a quiet path, Yuwen Jun and Guang Li stood at the crossroads. Guang Tai had already set off, looking radiant with bright eyes, and gradually disappeared from their sight.

“Next, let him wander slowly in the chaotic space. Occasionally, he will reveal a trace of the power of origin. Sooner or later, he will come into the sight of the Purple Gold Alliance, or even the God Emperor,” Yuwen Jun said softly.

Although Guangtai has become a walking corpse at this moment, he has cultivated the Netherworld True Essence after all. If he encounters an ordinary Wuji expert, he can still easily defeat him.

"Aren't we going to Guyue's place?" Guangli asked.

Yuwen Jun shook his head slightly and said, "This time, Gu Yue is also bait. We will go to Xuanzong to settle down first and wait for good news. I have left dragon energy and void aura in his body. Once he encounters any changes, I will immediately notice."

"Next, we just wait for the big fish to take the bait."

At the foot of the mountain, in a simple and ancient courtyard.

The nameless old man had been sleeping peacefully when he suddenly sensed a faint presence floating in the courtyard. With a thought, he appeared before Yuwen Jun and Guang Li.

"I apologize for disturbing you so late at night, senior," Yuwen Jun said with a slight bow.

Guangli also bowed.

The nameless old man immediately noticed that Guangli was experiencing a huge emotional upheaval, with tear stains still visible at the corners of her eyes.

"So this time, you need to stay overnight here?" the nameless old man said softly.

Yuwen Jun nodded slightly and said, "We need to use this place as a temporary strategic respite, and I hope you can do me a favor."

The nameless old man simply nodded upon hearing this.

"What about that girl?" the nameless old man asked curiously.

This time, Dugu Li was not seen. He subconsciously wondered if the girl was elsewhere in the Chaos Space, carrying out an extremely dangerous mission.

Yuwen Jun replied softly, "Xiao Li has taken the elixir and is currently in seclusion in the Divine Realm."

Pill?

The nameless old man frowned slightly. The Taoist Xuanzong lineage knew the method of alchemy and their skill should be even above that of Old Master Guo. However, the Taoist Xuanzong lineage never relied on external objects for cultivation.

"What kind of elixir is it?" the nameless old man asked, frowning.

Yuwen Jun opened his spatial artifact, took out a nine-colored pill, and said, "It's the same as the one I have."

The nameless old man glanced at it and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"It is indeed a rare and precious find," said the nameless old man.

Then, Yuwen Jun took out two more pills, making a total of three, and handed them to the nameless old man.

"I apologize for disturbing you, but it is all out of my goodwill. I hope you will not refuse, senior," Yuwen Jun said, bowing slightly.

The nameless old man did not refuse and accepted the three pills.

The Taoist Xuanzong lineage never uses polite words; polite words are meaningless to experts of this level.

"Two rooms, or one room?" the nameless old man asked seriously.

From the perspective of the nameless old man, he could immediately tell that the Queen of the Demon Realm was pregnant with a dragon's seed, which is why he asked this question so seriously.

Yuwen Jun paused slightly, then replied somewhat awkwardly, "Two rooms."

The nameless old man didn't make fun of the two of them. He turned around and said, "Come with me."

Upon entering the house, there were two side rooms, one on the east and one on the west.

"My humble abode is simple, but you'll have to make do with it if you can," the nameless old man said gently.

Yuwen Jun said respectfully, "We are already at our wits' end. Having a place to stay is already a great fortune. I hope you will not think that we are both pampered people."

The nameless old man smiled silently, also finding the young couple quite amusing.

Subsequently, Yuwen Jun entered the east wing room, while the Demon Queen entered the west wing room.

The room was fully furnished with tables and chairs, and a simple wooden bed.

Yuwen Jun did not fall asleep peacefully, but sat cross-legged, concentrating intently on Guangtai's movements.

After Guangli got into bed, she curled up and covered her head with the blankets. Soon after, tears soaked the blankets. The events of that night were rushed, but Guangli felt that the night was exceptionally long.

There are many ways to be separated from blood relatives, but this is the most painful.

Guangli has been through a lot, but tonight is the night she truly grows up...

Nothing happened all night.

The sun rose as usual the next day, and the morning in the chaotic space was as tranquil as ever. (End of Chapter)
