The stolen magic is a bit magical

"A celestial demon?"

"Her destiny is the six-winged Sky-Piercing Eagle!"

Gu Suixin's expression changed.

The Sky-Patrolling Eagle is an ancient tradition among the demon race. Legend has it that the supreme demon emperor of this generation of the demon realm was originally a Sky-Patrolling Eagle.

Therefore, the Sky-Patrolling Eagle is the true Heavenly Demon, and even a member of the royal family among Heavenly Demons.

"A six-winged sky-sweeping eagle! It seems the clan elders were right!" Gu Suixin said. "She is waiting here to hunt down the prodigies of my Gu clan, which is related to the conflict between the two domains."

“Maybe it really is!” Lin Xiaosu said.

“Brother Su, things are getting complicated!” Gu Suixin said, “The royal family of the demon race may go straight to the demon capital this time. If we want to find her, we may also have to go to the demon capital.”

"Whether or not we go to the Demon Capital depends on whether she returns there or not," Lin Xiaosu said. "No matter where we are, I'll help you find her first!"

“Brother, you truly deserve the title of brother. After this mission is completed, come to my Ancient Divine Ruins for the New Year. I will give you my sister in marriage.”

fuck!

Damn it...

You just gave it away so easily?

Lin Xiaosu rolled her eyes: "Let's find someone first."

"Can we find it?"

"This is forcing me to say my famous quote..." Lin Xiaosu said, "You can question my character, but please don't question my professionalism."

The two men stepped out of the room, and the waiter outside said, "Gentlemen, have you seen it clearly? This room has the best viewpoint in town..."

"It's too dirty!" Gu Suixin said.

"What did you say, young master?"

Gu Suixin said, "Two years ago, on October 13th, a man and a woman were doing something indecent in this room. It's too disgusting, don't go!"

He stepped into the air and rose into the air.

A white bone flew into the distance.

The waiter was completely dumbfounded.

How did you know that a man and a woman were messing around two years ago?
Besides, you think it's dirty to do that kind of thing?

My goodness, does this reason really hold water?
Ask around and find out which inn isn't frequented by people who mess around on which night?
The guesthouse is built here because that's what people want for their accommodation, isn't it?

Otherwise, since we are all practitioners, we can sit on the mountain all night and feel relaxed and at ease. Why would we need to stay at an inn?

Unfortunately, he had a bellyful of reasons, but he didn't say them out loud. The man who uttered such absurd words had already flown away.

Lin Xiaosu's lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to discuss with Gu Suixin who exactly was the person who did the dirty work two years ago, but never mind, she was too lazy to bring it up, and directly switched to time travel...

Pointing to a direction, the bone boat sped off...

This flight took us thousands of miles away.

Suddenly, a strange sight appeared before Lin Xiaosu.

In the middle of a long lake shrouded in eerie mist, a giant lotus leaf rises from the surface.

The size of this lotus leaf surpasses all imagination.

The lotus leaf resembles a giant island.

Above, there are pavilions, terraces, and towers.

Gu Suixin's eyes lit up: "This is 'Lone Leaf City'!"

"Lonely Leaf City was built on the Fujiang Lotus, so this lotus leaf must be the Fujiang Lotus, one of the four ancient divine trees."

Lin Xiaosu had seen records of Lonely Leaf City in the Xin Pavilion's classic texts.

He had also seen Fu Jianghe in classical texts.

Legend has it that there are four ancient divine trees in the world.

A tree reaching to the sky, a grape vine reaching the heavens, a vine growing deep in the earth, and a lotus covering the river.

Although Fujianghe is ranked last among the four divine trees, seeing it with her own eyes today shocked Lin Xiaosu so much that she almost forgot the purpose of her trip.

Lotus flowers are not uncommon in the world, but have you ever seen a huge city built directly on a lotus leaf?

What does this show?

Firstly, it indicates that it is large.

Secondly, it shows that it does not wither.

Otherwise, where would we find the time to build a city that lasts for millions of years?
Many people flew around the city.

Some flew in, some flew out; among them were demons, humans, and demonic birds.

It was bustling with activity, a scene of great prosperity.

"Brother Su, is that bitch in this city?"

"It flew into this city that day, but whether it's still there today needs further investigation," Lin Xiaosu said. "Let's go!"

The bone boat vanished in mid-air, transforming into an ordinary boat, and Gu Suixin's face also changed, turning him into a middle-aged man.

"Brother Su, would you like to change your appearance as well?" Gu Suixin casually handed over a piece of human skin, on which there were faint black marks.

It has an air of vicissitude.

Lin Xiaosu frowned: "What is this thing?"

"Ancient human skin. Once you wear it, no one will know who you are. It's much more powerful than shapeshifting."

"Well... let's just forget about it. Anyway, my identity is fake. As a fake person, the thing I'm least afraid of is being targeted..."

“That’s true!” Gu Suixin said, “Anyway, no matter how much trouble Brother Su causes, it’s all for the sake of our Gu Sect. If your identity as a Gu Sect disciple is exposed and you are targeted in any way, the Gu Sect will take responsibility!”

Lin Xiaosu did not answer; his eyes gleamed.

This ray of light was mostly met with surprise.

Once you're on a lotus leaf, you can no longer tell it's a lotus leaf.

However, there is one exception: the lake in front of it.

The lake water was crystal clear, seemingly without any impurities, and the lake shore was lush and verdant, yet clearly covered with lotus leaves.

Viewed from above, this lake resembles a drop of dew on a lotus leaf in the early morning.

However, if you magnify this lotus leaf a billion times, and this dewdrop a billion times, it becomes a beautiful scene in Lonely Leaf City, with the city embracing the lake.

Time rewinds, and the scene from two years ago reappears. Tracing back, the six-winged demonic eagle lands in the city and transforms into a beautiful woman. This woman's movements are limited, but as time flows, it instantly connects all her events from the past two years...

A smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Brother Su, what have you discovered?"

Throughout the process, Lin Xiaosu was responsible for observing and tracing, while Gu Suixin was responsible for observing his expressions.

His expression grew increasingly optimistic.

"Brother Gu, you're in luck!" Lin Xiaosu said, "We found it!"

"Have you found a clue, or have you found the person?"

"We've found him!" Lin Xiaosu exclaimed. "He's inside the lotus flower's stamen!"

Gu Suixin was greatly shocked.

Did they really find it?
Spanning more than two years and thousands of miles, he actually managed to connect to this traceability chain...

His greatest wish, the ultimate goal he had pursued for over two years, was just one step away...

There are flowers on the lotus leaves.

However, most people in this city do not regard this everlasting lotus as a flower, but rather as a building that has stood on the lakeside for thousands of years.

Even if its name is simply "Flower Pavilion".

"Above the brothel!" Gu Suixin said, "The brothels in the Demon Realm have their own rules; one cannot easily fly across. Brother Su, let's descend to the ground and ascend the brothel!"

Lin Xiaosu nodded gently.

The bone boat retracted, transforming into a single white bone spur.

With a soft "poof," it entered Gu Suixin's ears.

This is how he collected the Bone Boat, somewhat similar to a certain mythical figure surnamed Sun. No wonder he was captured by the Heart Pavilion, robbed of all his money, and left with a Bone Boat. It turns out the boat was inside his ear.

As we descended to the lakeside, a gentle breeze stirred, and a delicate fragrance wafted from an unknown source.

It makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The two climbed the building along the sloping flower branches.

The natural patterns on these flower branches form natural steps.

Ordinary people can also climb it.

On both sides of the steps, there are many platforms, and on the platforms are pavilions and towers.

It is truly a single lotus leaf and a single lotus flower that have shaped the ecology of an entire city.

Lin Xiaosu tested the steps with a small force, enough to easily shatter the ancient bluestone with a single step, but not a single mark was left on the steps.

This demonstrates that the Fujianghe, one of the four ancient divine trees, possesses unparalleled resilience.

This building, which appears to be built on delicate flower branches, is impervious to wind and rain.

There are people talking ahead...

"This gathering of all races is truly a feast for the ears."

"That goes without saying. Yesterday's Song of the Nightingale, the day before yesterday's Dance of the Enchantress, and the day before that, the Peach Blossom Flute, are all top-tier skills from the forty-nine demon realms."

What timeless masterpieces will be performed today?

"I've heard it's the Moon Demon's Harp!"

"The Moon Demon's Zither? My God, this is the peerless enchanting demon who was famous throughout the demon capital a hundred years ago. Is it really her? Impossible, right? Wasn't she supposed to seal away her zither for three hundred years?"

"Originally, she was to seal away her zither, but upon hearing that a close friend of hers was injured and needed the spirit fish of the Dao to draw Dao patterns to heal the injury, she broke her vow out of consideration for her friend and played a tune on the zither under the moon tonight."

"The spirit fish of the Way of Joy flies across and draws the Way of Joy patterns?" The people in front were all surprised at the same time: "Is it really possible to do this? This is a level of attainment in the Way of Joy that only the ancient sages of the Way of Joy could possibly achieve."

"There should be some hope. I heard that when Yue Yao sang 'The Song of Martyrdom for the Moon' a hundred years ago, she made the spirit fish fly across and faintly draw Dao patterns. Now that she has cultivated for another hundred years, she has entered the Dao of Holding. She should be able to reach a higher level based on what she did a hundred years ago."

Lin Xiaosu and Gu Suixin exchanged glances, both seeing complex emotions in each other's eyes.

If we rewind time, the target is now in a brothel.

If nothing unexpected happens, they can take it very easily.

However, things have changed today.

The Demon Realm held a grand celebration for all races.

The Myriad Races Festival is a grand event in the Demon Realm, featuring unparalleled demons and numerous powerful demon cultivators at the Dao-Mastering Realm. Alarming them would be disastrous.

But since things have come to this point, we can only take it one step at a time and see what happens, and first set our sights on this goal.

They continued on their way...

Above the lotus flower, a sliver of the setting sun swept across the highest platform.

The view from the high platform is breathtaking.

A loft room. Openwork on all sides, with sheer curtains swaying gently. Beneath the verdant windowsill, an exquisite tea table sits, upon which rests a bamboo teapot, the aroma of tea already filling the air.

Two beautiful women sat facing each other.

The beautiful woman on the left perfectly embodies the image of a beautiful woman.

Two bright red blushes on her face stood out against her fair and flawless complexion.

The beautiful woman on the right is the opposite of her.

His face was bathed in the soft moonlight, making him appear sacred and solemn.

If Lin Xiaosu saw her, he might sigh and say, "Life is full of unexpected encounters."

This woman was none other than Han Yan, the second Holy Maiden of Tiandu.

"Sister Yue, I owe you this today! Let me offer you a toast." Han Yan looked at the setting sun and raised her teacup.

"Although we are not of the same race, we are friends through music, like sisters. My sister is injured in her cultivation, what a serious matter! It is only natural for me to make an exception and play a piece for you." Sister Yue raised her teacup.

"Thank you, Sister Yue!" Han Yan took a sip of tea.

“Sister Han, I truly don’t understand. You entered the Dao through music, so who was it, and how did they damage your foundation in the Dao realm? This is purely out of curiosity. If you don’t wish to say, then…”

"There's nothing I can't say!" Han Yan said, "In the Great Wilderness Dynasty, there was a third-rank official named Su Lin. This man went south of the Yangtze River and set his sights on my sister's Cold Moon Valley. My sister returned home from Tiandu to try to stop his journey. Right there on Moon Lake, his long poem 'Spring River Flower Moon Night' touched my sister's Dao Platform. Later, he even broke my sister's 'Burial of Flowers' with a song of the same name, which is why my sister's Dao Realm was injured."

"Spring River Flower Moon Night?" Sister Yue's eyes sparkled. "What kind of melody is it?"

"The melody is absolutely unparalleled, but unfortunately, my younger sister was wounded by it, and her mind was thrown into turmoil by its sound, so she cannot reproduce it for you, elder sister." Han Yan said, "But the poem, you can show it to me, elder sister!"

With a flick of her wrist, lines of text appeared from her fingertips.

"The spring river rises with the tide, reaching the sea; the bright moon rises with the tide..."

The moon demon's gaze swept over, and she couldn't look away. First paragraph, second paragraph, third paragraph…

The blush on her face was now like the gentle ripples of a spring river...

The poem is now complete.

A sense of tranquility seemed to appear on Yueyao's face. She exhaled softly, "Such a wonderful poem is truly unimaginable. Of all the poems I have ever heard in my life, this is the best... The Great Wilderness Dynasty actually has such an official. Was he a top scholar who entered officialdom?"

"No! He has never even appeared in the Great Wilderness Imperial Examination before, and his talents, poetry and music are not his main profession. He mainly cultivates the way of the sword. Oh, right, he also has some knowledge of the way of formations, and perhaps he has quite a high level of expertise in it."

"Such mastery of poetry and music, yet it's not your main focus..." Sister Yue gently shook her head: "It seems we can't continue analyzing. The more we analyze, the more serious your Dao injury will become. Let's block it out for now, focus all our minds on the Lingtai, and when the crescent moon passes over the lotus tip, that will be the time for me to play the 'Moon Martyrdom Song'."

"Alright!" Han Yan took a deep breath and cleansed her mind again.

Suddenly, the sky brightened.

A red light appeared, and a figure broke through the air.

The sun had just set, and the colorful clouds still lingered in the sky.

This person flew in from the colorful clouds, and the colorful clouds behind him were like his cloak.

He was extremely dashing in the air, with seven colorful ribbons trailing behind him, blotting out the sky.

Others enter the brothel by climbing the steps from the bottom, but he simply soars across the sky and lands on the highest platform.

On the platform, countless people rose from their seats: "Greetings, Your Highness the Nineteenth Prince!"

Amidst the welcoming cheers, the nineteenth prince's radiance vanished, revealing his true appearance: a handsome and dashing young man.

His gaze fell on the area where Sister Yue and Hanyan were.

The blush on Yuejie's face, which had been perfectly capturing the dynamism of "Spring River Flower Moon Night," suddenly vanished. Her eyes left the platform and fell on Hanyan's face as she sighed softly.

"Sister Yue, what's wrong?"

"This person is a bit annoying!" Sister Yue said.

"He is the nineteenth son of the Demon Emperor?"

"Yes, he made inappropriate advances on me a hundred years ago. I refused him at least ten times and hid from him in the Burial Moon Gully. Now that I've come out of seclusion, he's back again." Sister Yue said helplessly.

Han Yan smiled: "It seems that my situation is quite similar to my sister's. I, the Great Saint of Tiandu, am in the same boat."

"The moon has risen, I'm off!" Sister Yue slowly stood up.

"Thank you for your trouble, sister!" Han Yan stood up and saw her off respectfully.

Sister Yue descended from the sky and sat cross-legged on the lake. As the moonlight rose, she appeared dreamlike and ethereal.

Having just reached the top of the lotus flower, Lin Xiaosu, who was only one step away from the tip, suddenly stopped, his expression somewhat strange.

Gu Suixin's gaze fell upon the scene, and a voice carried over: "Brother Su, have you discovered it?"

"We've discovered an unexpected person!"

"An unexpected person? Who is it?"

"Han Yan!" Lin Xiaosu said, "This is really interesting. The person the passersby were talking about earlier, the one who suffered a Daoist injury and traveled thousands of miles to ask the Moon Demon to play the zither, is actually her!"

Gu Suixin's eyes widened: "Her Dao injury is because of you."

"Yes!"

"Isn't the world really amazing?" Gu Suixin laughed. "Next, you'll probably have to disguise yourself. Otherwise, once she knows that Su Lin, who caused chaos in Jiangnan, has appeared in the Demon Realm, all the connections behind those sects in Jiangnan will know that you've arrived in the Demon Realm. Our journey ahead will likely become chaotic."

The phrase "chaos abounds" sounds easy, but anyone with a little common sense knows that what's abounding is far more than just chaos.

It's important to understand that all cultivation paths are interconnected. The sects in Jiangnan may not be particularly powerful, but which family doesn't have disciples? Even if no outstanding disciples join other super sects, they still have daughters, right? Whoever their daughter marries becomes their support.

Lin Xiaosu's reckless actions on Jiangnan Road have damaged the interests of countless people.
How many people wish they could tear him to pieces?

In the past, he had an army by his side, held the title of a third-rank official in the Great Wilderness Dynasty, and was also a royal envoy who inspected the world. No one in the Great Wilderness dared to touch him easily.

But once they leave the Great Wilderness, who wouldn't seize the opportunity?

However, Lin Xiaosu still shook her head: "What's there to be afraid of? Although those sects in Jiangnan may have powerful backers, don't I have mine? Our ancient sect, who have we ever been afraid of?"

There was no reply to that sentence.

Turning his head, he saw Gu Suixin with a constipated expression. Finally, the guy shook his head: "Brother, I quite admire your arrogance, and the Gu Clan will definitely help you, but... can we avoid trouble that doesn't need to be caused?"

"Alright, alright, just kidding!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Don't worry, the main thing right now is testing."

"test?"

"I'll test the reactions of the major sects to me, Su Lin. If any sects really jump out and are determined to take my life, then I can eliminate them one by one, right?"

Gu Suixin rolled her eyes: "The heavens have already shown strong hostility towards you. Both Holy Maidens want to get rid of you as soon as possible. Why don't you get rid of it!"

“You’re wrong!” Lin Xiaosu smiled lightly: “Tian Du doesn’t have that much malice towards me, and Tian Du is not an enemy to me at all.”

"Don't speak too soon! Although Tiandu may not seem to have much malice towards you right now, that only means you're not important enough. Judging by your growing abilities and the way you confront Tiandu, I dare say that sooner or later, your conflict will become irreconcilable."

"Irreconcilable conflict?" Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Want me to give you a demonstration right now? I'll try to reconcile the relationship between you and the Second Holy Maiden."

"That's absolutely impossible! You ransacked her house, and you injured her so badly that she had to travel thousands of miles to seek medical treatment. If you can reconcile your relationship with her, I'll crawl sideways three times." Gu Suixin naturally didn't believe it.

"What if I play a tune for her and heal her Dao injury?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Gu Suixin's eyes widened: "You're using music to heal her wounds? Please, her wounds were caused by your music. If you play music for her again, it's like rubbing salt into her wounds..."

"So you just don't understand the key to treating wounds. You think rubbing salt into a wound is making it worse? In fact, rubbing salt into a wound is exactly the correct way to treat it. Modern medicine really can't explain this to you. Forget it, let's get started!"

Lin Xiaosu strode up, and the last platform finally came into view.

Gu Suixin followed suit.

Lin Xiaosu suddenly stopped on the last step...

Gu Suixin also stopped, her gaze once again falling on his eyes.

"Do you see that?" Lin Xiaosu pointed to the center of the platform with a single hair, like a finger.

Gu Suixin's heart skipped a beat; this single strand of hair looked like it was just fluttering in the wind.

However, he naturally understood that this was a gesture similar to pointing a finger at a target.

The direction this strand of hair is pointing to is the main seat.

Seated in the main seat was an elderly demon, dressed in magnificent robes, with an extraordinary bearing. With each breath, demonic energy surged into the sky. Beside him, slightly below him in rank, was a demoness.

He didn't recognize this enchantress at first glance.

But upon closer inspection, the familiarity grew stronger—those eyes, that expression…

He found himself increasingly sharing similarities with the succubus he had "accidentally" encountered in the town that day.

"The energy flow is very chaotic, and it's impossible to confirm it completely right now. Perhaps we need to get closer!" Gu Suixin said.

"The old man's aura is interfering with this person's abilities. This person should be at the second level or even higher!" Lin Xiaosu said. "But in my investigation chain, it has already been perfectly closed. This woman's identity is beyond doubt. She is the target you are looking for."

"I believe you! But with this demon by my side, it's still... impossible to succeed!" Gu Suixin said.

"Go up first, then we'll see how things go..."

Just as they were about to step onto the platform, a melody of a piano suddenly rang out.

The music clearly originated from the lake, but it seemed to come from the sky, as if it were coming from the moon.

Lin Xiaosu had already taken a step, but then stopped.

His gaze fell upon the lake.

The musician playing the zither on the lake has disappeared.

Looking up at the sky, one sees a person playing the zither on the moon.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and a figure plays the zither in the moonlight, dressed in light robes and long sleeves, just like Chang'e in the moon.

This single image captivated the entire city.

The gentle music was truly celestial music, and as the moonlight shone down, the entire world was filled with a sense of profound sorrow, as if the moon itself had transformed into a pair of eyes in the heavenly palace, watching the joys and sorrows of humankind with endless compassion.

As the music evolved.

The moon's light gradually dimmed, as if shrouded in a layer of tears.

Inside and outside Lonely Leaf City, upstairs and downstairs in the brothels, tens of millions of people and demons were shrouded in this sorrow at this moment, and tears were faintly visible in their eyes.

"The Song of Martyrdom for the Moon, this is the Song of Martyrdom for the Moon!" On the high platform, a person sighed softly: "Her entire clan was exterminated, and she suffered a thousand years of grief, which led to this tragic song of martyrdom for the moon. How lamentable!"

"They were originally flower fairies, a kind of benevolent race, yet they were destroyed by the Heavenly Demon. What did their people do wrong? What did Mingyue do wrong?" someone sighed.

"You two, do not utter such mournful cries. His Majesty the Demon Emperor will not be pleased," someone whispered.

The single statement, "The Demon Emperor is displeased," instantly suppressed everyone's emotions. (End of Chapter)
