Fantasy/Heroic: Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, Earthly Sovereign!

A servant from the manor went to knock on the door.

Upon learning that it was the Prince of Jin who had come to visit, the servant's expression changed drastically. He immediately went to inform the princess and opened the door to invite Yang Guang in.

Ning Ke was waiting in the main hall, knowing that Yang Guang would definitely come.

A servant rushed in from outside, "Greetings, Your Highness! Prince Jin has arrived."

"Oh, Uncle Wang is here! Quickly open the middle door, please!"

"Yes."

The servants withdrew and went to carry out the task immediately.

Ning Ke walked slowly to the front flower hall with a smug smile on her face.

Yang Guang strode in, followed by many servants carrying gifts.

"Greetings, Uncle Wang. May I ask what brings you here?"

Ning Ke pretended not to know and asked out of curiosity.

"I've come to see you. Several years ago, you were critically ill, and I didn't visit you. I never expected you to come and give me a gift on my birthday. This makes me feel very ashamed."

"After the birthday celebration is over, I will prepare some gifts for you, as a way to make up for the mistakes I made back then."

Yang Guang offered a series of reasons and explained in detail.

Ning Ke's face lit up with joy.

"Uncle Wang, what makes you say that?"

"Uncle Wang is a very busy man, so he naturally wouldn't care too much about my little matter. Why go to such lengths and send out so many nice things!"

Ning Ke was very polite and generous.

"I don't usually like these things, so there's no point in keeping them for me. I might as well give them to you."

Yang Guang waved his hand magnanimously.

Ning Ke invited him into the main hall, where servants served him tea.

"Uncle Wang is constantly busy fighting campaigns in the south and north, all for the sake of the world."

"Now that His Majesty the Emperor has prepared such a grand banquet for you, is it because he likes you?"

Ning Ke started a conversation.

"Hmph, maybe!"

Having obtained the secret manual of the mountains and seas, Yang Guang had begun to have designs on the throne.

Ning Ke's words intensified his urgent need for the throne.

"By the way, that scroll of yours... when you found it, did you leave anything else behind?"

"It's been left behind, Uncle Wang, what makes you say that?"

"When I looked at your gift, I noticed that the cover was missing an inlay, which should have been a bead."

Yang Guang offered a reminder.

"Is this what you mean?"

Ning Ke flipped her sleeve and took out a crimson bead.

"This was found in the secret room. I embedded it in as well, but the book still couldn't be opened. I kept it on my person because it looked nice."

Ning Ke offered a casual explanation.

Yang Guang's eyes lit up.

"This is it."

"That scroll is quite interesting; it's indispensable if you want to open it."

"Princess, may I have this? Just tell me what you need, and I will get it for you."

When Yang Guang saw the bead, he knew that what Shuxiang had said was probably true.

He couldn't wait to get his hands on it.

However, he still had some manners and did not forcibly seize it, but instead tried to obtain it through the most peaceful means possible.

"That's the sentence Uncle Wang wants."

Ning Ke handed the bead over directly.

Yang Guang accepted it with both hands, his breathing becoming somewhat labored.

Seeing how much he valued it, Ning Ke remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she felt a little smug.

This foolish mortal, does he really think all of this is prepared for him?

"very good!"

"It's getting late, Princess, you should rest early."

Having obtained what he wanted, Yang Guang hastily took his leave.

Ning Ke got up to see him off.

"Take inventory of everything and put it away."

Ning Ke gave a brief instruction to her servants before returning to her room.

She sat cross-legged on the bed, her mind drawing upon the Crimson Comet, communicating with the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.

In the Demon Realm Tower, the Demon Lord sensed Ning Ke's divine message.

He immediately used the power of the Crimson Comet to pull Ning Ke into the spiritual space.

"I've met my father; everything is proceeding according to plan."

"I have given Yang Guang the Secret Manual of Mountains and Seas and the Luo Tian Pearl. Then, Shu Xiang arranged for his stone heart to be enlightened, helping him absorb the dynasty's fortune. He has no doubts whatsoever."

Ning Ke immediately explained her arrangements.

The Demon Lord nodded in satisfaction.

"You've done a good job. Continue to monitor Yang Guang and see what he does next."

"Yes, Father."

After Ning Ke finished speaking, the space in front of her suddenly disappeared, and she returned to her own mansion.

"The matter here is settled. Where are you, Earthly Emperor?"

Ning Ke murmured.

During this time, she has been using the power of her subordinates to search for the Earth Emperor.

However, there was no trace of them.

Even using magic, it's difficult to find.

It seems we can only place our hopes on Yang Guang.

At the bottom of the Demon-Sealing Tower, Yuwen Tuo was still resisting the Eye of Turbidity.

His body was ice-cold, but his magical power became increasingly refined.

The sword energy of the Xuanyuan Sword Body surged, making him even stronger than before.

But he did not feel the right path within his body.

"What's going on? Did I resist too much?"

Yuwen Tuo was somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, he recalled the words that Master Jinxia had said before he left.

It is speculated that the so-called Eye of Turbidity's help is to use the overwhelming turbidity to draw out the righteous path within the body to fight against it.

This is how you make it visible.

He used these impure energies to refine his body, but his pure magical power was still insufficient to allow the righteous path within him to manifest.

However, this would force him to remove his defenses, and the Xuanyuan Sword would have to do its best to suppress him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve the desired goal.

"If things really get critical, the Xuanyuan Sword will protect me in the end."

Yuwen Tuo made up his mind and immediately released all his defenses.

He also suppressed the Xuanyuan Sword himself.

The thick, foul air rushed towards his body as if it had seen a bloody shark.

Black ice crystals condensed all over his body, freezing him completely.

Black lines appeared all over his body, as if trying to completely demonize him.

Endless evil energy poured into his body, making Yuwentuo's body seem like a bottomless pit.

Accept all those evil and turbid energies.

However, this also prevents the evil energy of the Eye of Evil from expanding outwards for the time being.

The many demons in the Demon-Sealing Tower immediately sensed this.

Because they were trapped inside the Demon-Locking Tower, bound layer by layer by the power of righteous energy and the Five Elemental Pearls.

But you can still feel the foul air to some extent.

The source of the foul air now seems to be sealed off by something.

For a moment, the demons felt a stirring in their hearts.

The bottom of the Demon-Sealing Tower is quite spacious, where a Heavenly Demon Emperor once lived.

Hundreds of years ago, he led a horde of demons to attack Mount Shu, but was lured into the Demon Locking Tower by the disciples of Mount Shu and suppressed there.

His cultivation level was very high, and the turbid energy suddenly disappeared, which he sensed.

"What tricks are those five old geezers playing?"

"The Demon-Sealing Tower shook earlier, as if something had entered. Now, the evil energy of the Eye of Evil is no longer emanating outwards. Is it trying to eliminate us?"

The Heavenly Demon Emperor suspected something and wanted to go to the location of the Eye of Evil to investigate.

Over the past few centuries, he has thoroughly investigated the situation inside the Demon Locking Tower.
