Chapter 1117 Meeting at Pantai and Gazing at the Stars
Chapter 1117 Meeting at Pantai and Gazing at the Stars
Luowu Ancient City is a circular city, radiating outward from Longtan as its center, with nine areas, each divided by a river.
In other words, the water in the moat outside Luowu Ancient City flows into Longtan through nine rivers within the city.
If you look down on the entire ancient city of Luowu from the air, you will find that it is similar to the Nine Dragon Vessel, only the size is different.
The waters of the Flying Dragon have turned into nine rivers. Is this really just a coincidence?
Only three people could see this strange layout: Shen Yichen, Murong Ruoxi, and Sister Qing. This is because all three of them had entered the Nine Dragon Vein, and Sister Qing and Shen Yichen had also been to the mysterious and unpredictable place where the Nine Springs converged—the Chaos Abyss!
On the night Shen Yichen checked into Luowu Ancient City, Sister Qing arrived at the top of a high mountain, knowing full well that the monk was not with her.
The place where Sister Qing appeared was the Pantai, and to Sister Qing's surprise, there was someone on the Pantai.
The night was dark, and it wasn't until Sister Qing got closer that she could see the person clearly.
The two exclaimed in surprise at the same time:
"It's you!"
The person standing on the platform is the Half-Demon Emperor.
Sister Qing walked slowly onto the platform.
"Who are you? You are not Princess Qingshan of the demon race!"
"Demon Emperor, instead of seeking revenge, instead of searching for your own body and soul, why are you here admiring the stars and the moon?"
The Half-Faced Demon Emperor took a step back. Princess Qing Shan's voice changed, and her entire aura changed. Princess Qing Shan exuded a mysterious and eerie aura!
"Who are you exactly?"
"Hmph, Demon Emperor, you can't even see that? Just like you, you were reborn in another body!"
"I'm asking you who you are?"
The half-faced demon emperor was surrounded by surging demonic energy, his face filled with rage.
"Demon Emperor, what are you trying to do? I am not from the righteous path, so naturally I am your friend. I sincerely hope that one day you can once again unite demons and evil to contend for supremacy in the martial world!"
Two flames lit up in Princess Qingshan's hands, and the Half-Faced Demon Emperor and Princess Qingshan saw each other's faces.
The half-demon emperor was unusually serious, while Princess Qingshan had a calm expression, her face surprisingly complementing the flames.
"I'm asking you who you are?"
The Half-Demon Emperor has made his move!
In the void above the platform, Princess Qingshan was engulfed in eerie flames as she exchanged blows with the Half-Demon Emperor, managing not to be at a disadvantage.
After exchanging a few blows with Princess Qingshan, the Half-Faced Demon Emperor suddenly retreated back onto the platform, exclaiming in surprise:
Are you testing me?
"Hmph, Demon Emperor, you've realized it too late, Netherworld Shadow Blaze!"
Princess Qingshan roared, and eight flames condensed in her palms, seemingly real yet illusory, directly trapping the half-demon emperor.
The Half-Faced Demon Emperor looked horrified and exclaimed:
"Are you from the Dark Realm?"
Among the eight strange flames, the power of the Ghost Vein is truly evident!
The half-faced demon emperor frowned deeply, clasped his hands together, and continuously made hand seals that changed shape.
Soon, a mysterious and holy demonic aura appeared around the Half-Faced Demon Emperor, crashing against the eight streams of flame power in concentric circles like ocean waves.
Princess Qingshan did not continue her attack. After the eight flames faded and disappeared, Princess Qingshan looked at the half-demon emperor with a strange expression.
The Half-Demon Emperor did not make a move either; it seems that neither of them could easily defeat the other.
The Half-Faced Demon Emperor and Princess Qing Shan asked the same question at the same time:
Why are you here?
The two of them fell into deep thought again.
A moment later, Princess Qingshan floated back onto the platform.
"Demon Emperor, why did you lead the demons to fight against the righteous path a thousand years ago?"
"Hmph, good and evil have always been opposed to each other, do we need a reason for that?"
"Demon Emperor, you can deceive the world, but you can't deceive me. You've been used, haven't you?"
The half-faced demon emperor suddenly took two steps back, his body surging with demonic energy, and shouted sharply:
"Who are you exactly?"
"Just like you, a fool who gets used!"
The Half-Faced Demon Emperor stared at Princess Qing Shan for a very long time before slowly withdrawing his true essence.
Can we talk?
"Demon Emperor, our conversation is actually of little significance!"
"Hmph, my demands aren't high. Why do you say I'm being used? And why did you come to Pantai?"
"It's very simple. I've fought against people who possess the Magic Pearl. I've seen the technique you just used, and you also have the aura of the Magic Pearl on you!"
The half-faced demon emperor looked horrified and took two steps back.
"You, you come from before the war between good and evil a thousand years ago!"
"Alas, it seems that the battle between good and evil was probably started by us, no, it should be the Ji family who did it on purpose!"
The half-faced demon emperor frowned in deep thought, and after a moment, coldly said:
"You mean, you were used by the Ji family back then?"
Princess Qingshan did not respond. She looked up at the deep, dark sky and murmured to herself:
"What exactly is the Ji family's motive?"
The Half-Faced Demon Emperor also fell into deep thought, wondering if his master, Master Fu Jian, truly had ulterior motives.
The Demon Emperor had been sealed away for a thousand years and had come to understand many things. He always felt that the battle between good and evil a thousand years ago was orchestrated by someone.
The Demon Emperor suspected his master, Master Fu Jian, but the half-faced Demon Emperor never expected that this was actually related to the Dark Realm.
Princess Qingshan turned to look at the half-demon emperor and said calmly:
"From Pantai, you can see Guanxing Mountain. A thousand years ago, the battle between good and evil was probably Guanxing Mountain's revenge on the Ji family, or perhaps a warning or even a test for the Ji family. But I really don't know why!"
The Half-Faced Demon Emperor was stunned and motionless. He came to Pantai because his master, Master Fujian, had mentioned Pantai Shuochuan. He did not know that he could see the Star Gazing Mountain from here.
The Half-Faced Demon Emperor muttered to himself:
"Could it be that Master comes from Guanxing Mountain?"
The half-faced demon emperor looked up at Princess Qingshan and asked in confusion:
"Have you been to Guanxing Mountain?"
Princess Qingshan shook her head.
"I only saw it; I was stopped by someone!"
"So it's the person who possesses the Magic Pearl, right?"
"Yes, I don't know what your relationship is with that person. If you weren't the Demon Emperor, I would kill you without hesitation, because you are his successor. But your identity is too special. There are probably secrets I don't know about!"
"Hmph, you don't not want to kill me, you just can't kill me now, right? What were you doing at Star Gazing Mountain back then?"
"That's none of your business. If I were you, I'd check out the Star Gazing Mountain first!"
After Princess Qingshan finished speaking, she looked up at the sky.
The waning moon has left the thick clouds!
In the moonlight, within its clear glow, a celestial mountain appears and disappears.
The half-faced demon emperor looked on in astonishment!
"That, that really is Star Gazing Mountain?"
"Amidst the sea of clouds, atop the immortal mountain, stands a long pavilion, said to be called the Flying Elegant Pavilion. There, one finds a star map that reveals the entire world and allows one to control it!"
"Is this why you came to Guanyin Mountain?"
"I've always thought so. After being sealed away for a thousand years, I finally realized that this is definitely not the reason. I also want to know what I was really after entering the Star Gazing Mountain back then?"
Princess Qingshan looked somewhat forlorn, yet also somewhat solemn.
"How can we enter the Star Gazing Mountain?"
"Hmph, what's the use of telling you? Your body and soul are not reunited, do you think you can deal with the people of Star Gazing Mountain? What a joke!"
"That's my own business!"
Princess Qingshan turned to look at the half-faced Demon Emperor and gave a cold smile!
"You want to tell Shen Yichen, right? You want to use this condition to exchange for his release of your other remnant souls, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If I told Shen Yichen that you had been to Guanxing Mountain, what do you think he would do?"
Sister Qing smiled slightly!
"Pantai and Shuochuan are both places to visit Guanxing Mountain. You don't need to tell Shen Yichen that I came to Yanquan to find him!"
After Princess Qingshan finished speaking, she flew away. The Star Gazing Mountain was still there, which meant that her king had not succeeded either. Would he be on the Star Gazing Mountain?
Princess Qingshan was truly heartbroken!
The half-demon emperor gazed at the Star Gazing Mountain amidst the celestial clouds, his brows furrowed in deep thought. He, too, had far too many questions.
According to Princess Qingshan, the chaos in the world began at Guanxing Mountain. This was true a thousand years ago, and it will probably be true a thousand years from now!
