Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe unleashed the Five Elements Escape Technique and quickly returned to the Heavenly Demon Sect. He scanned his family with his spiritual sense, and upon discovering they were all safe and sound, the heavy weight in his heart finally dropped. He suddenly remembered that Yang Xiaochan was still imprisoned in the Mountain and River Ring, and quickly released her.

After Yang Xiaochan emerged, she was still in shock. This magical space, this countless treasures, had actually killed Yinglong, one of the Five Great Demon Kings! Was this still the Zhao Shanhe she knew?

Zhao Shanhe couldn't contain his emotions any longer when he saw Yang Xiaochan. Tears burst out like a flood. His voice trembled as he said, "Aunt, Luo Zhu is dead, and not even a body remains... I am an unlucky person who only brings disaster to my family..."

Yang Xiaochan frowned and asked with concern: "Shanhe, what happened? Tell me quickly!"

Zhao Shanhe suppressed his grief and choked up as he recounted the entire story. After Yang Xiaochan finished listening, she sighed softly and comforted him, "Shanhe, you've already avenged Luo Zhu. Don't blame yourself too much. I'll help you explain everything to your second sister."

"Aunt, if I hadn't acted recklessly, I wouldn't have provoked Yinglong, and Sister Luozhu wouldn't have died. I'm sorry to Luozhu, and I'm sorry to my brother. I'm a disaster star, and I only bring disaster to those around me."

Seeing Zhao Shanhe's near-madness, already on the verge of going insane, Yang Xiaochan hugged him tightly and comforted him softly, "Shanhe, wake up. This isn't your fault. Don't take all the blame on yourself."

Yang Xiao'e heard the sound and came over. Zhao Shanhe saw his mother coming and broke free from Yang Xiaochan's arms. He fell to his knees and cried bitterly, "Mom, sister Luo Zhu is dead. I couldn't protect her. I'm sorry."

Yang Xiao'e felt dizzy. Luo Zhu had been fine this morning, barely out in the daylight, yet he was gone. Zhao Shanhe burst into tears. Yang Xiaochan briefly recounted the entire situation, then said, "Second sister, Shanhe has truly done his best. The path to immortality is fraught with obstacles, and separations of life and death are inevitable. You should comfort Shanhe. If this causes him to harbor inner demons, it will truly be more trouble than it's worth."

Yang Xiao'e looked at her heartbroken son, tears streaming down his face. For a moment, she didn't know where to begin. She could only say earnestly, "Shanhe, even if Luo Zhu were in the underworld, he would not want to see you in such pain. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all normal in life..."

Zhao Shanhe's crying for Luo Zhu was fake. The two of them didn't have much interaction, so it wouldn't make him do that. The purpose of doing this was to divert his mother's sadness.

Ever since the death of her eldest brother Zhao Shanjiang, her mother Yang Xiao'e has been in deep guilt. Her temples have turned gray before she was fifty years old. If she had not embarked on the path to immortality, she might not have lived for many more years. This is why Yang Xiaochan is desperate to find the Ninggen Immortal Grass.

Zhao Shanhe knew that his mother was very sentimental. Now Luo Zhu, who had been with her for many years, had died. If her attention was not diverted, an accident might happen. This was called walking in someone else's path and leaving them with nowhere to go.

Yang Xiao'e was fooled and focused all her attention on comforting her son. She no longer cared about the sadness over Luo Zhu's death. As time passed, it no longer had much impact on her.

Luo Zhu's death had little impact. The death of Demon Emperor Yinglong sent shockwaves through Nanzhou, gradually spreading across the continent and eventually reaching Demon Emperor City. Upon hearing the news, the four Demon Emperors came to the Qingqiu Clan to inquire. Demon Emperor Qiongqi asked directly, "Tushan Qingyao, we've heard from the human race that Demon Emperor Yinglong was killed by Zhao Shanhe. Is this true?"

Tushan Qingyao said with lingering fear, "Qiongqi Demon Emperor, the news is indeed true. Yinglong Demon Emperor is indeed dead. Zhao Shanhe cut him in two with a single sword. I saw it with my own eyes. If you want to avenge him, the Qingqiu clan will not participate."

The Qiongqi Demon Emperor said coldly, "The Yinglong Demon Emperor refused to listen and deserved death. His vengeance has nothing to do with the Demon Emperor City. Tushan Qingyao, do you know how powerful Zhao Shanhe is?"

Tushan Qingyao pondered for a moment and said, "Qiongqi Demon Emperor, Zhao Shanhe's combat power is unfathomable. His strength is unparalleled, and his defense is terrifyingly strong. Yinglong Demon Emperor's dragon roar only damaged his clothes, and he is even more vulnerable in a power contest. He doesn't look like a human at all, but like a witch god from ancient legends."

The four demon kings couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, especially the Black Tortoise Demon King, whose heart was filled with chills. He never imagined that the ant he had once been had grown to this point. He couldn't help but ask, "Miss Qingyao, Zhao Shanhe is so powerful, how did you escape back?"

Tushan Qingyao said, "Senior Turtle, Zhao Shanhe also has shortcomings. His cultivation doesn't seem to be very high. When the formation was broken, he knew he couldn't stop me, so he didn't chase me. That's how I escaped."

When Master Gui heard about the formation, he breathed a sigh of relief. He asked, "Miss Qingyao, do you know what formation Zhao Shanhe used to kill Yinglong?"

"He said it was the Dragon Trapping Formation. If you're fighting Zhao Shanhe, it's best not to use the formation."

"why?"

"The original formation was the Dragon Flying Formation prepared by the Yinglong Demon Emperor in advance to prevent Zhao Shanhe from escaping. Unexpectedly, he trapped himself and was controlled by the enemy. That's all I have to say. You guys take care of yourselves."

The other three demon kings all looked at Master Turtle at the same time, all with a half-smile on their faces. They all wanted to know what the old turtle was feeling now.

After returning to his residence, Master Gui turned back and found Tushan Qingyao and asked, "Miss Qingyao, Daji has resurrected."

Tushan Qingyao asked doubtfully, "Senior Turtle, what do you mean?"

"Zhao Shanhe is Daji, right?"

"Senior Turtle, what exactly do you mean?"

"Zhao Shanhe has been in my mansion for five years. I know his background very well. What you described is simply unbelievable, unless he is Daji. The final step of the Heavenly Demon Life-Borrowing Formation is to unify the five elements. Five great demons are required as sacrifices, and Yinglong is the first sacrifice."

If Tushan Qingyao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have believed Master Gui's words. She actually hoped that Zhao Shanhe was the reincarnation of an ancestor, but unfortunately, that was impossible. The strong pure yang energy and majestic masculine marks could not be faked. She said, "Senior Gui, thank you for your dedication to the Qingqiu clan. I swear to heaven that Zhao Shanhe is not an ancestor."

Master Gui left half-believing and half-doubting. He was regretting it so much now. Why did he meddle in other people's business in the first place? He should find a way to make amends.
