She became a god

Long Su nodded blankly, seemingly not understanding why the young master had come to ask him, but he didn't stop working.

As Long Su's scissors rose and fell, only one of the original rows of lights in the room remained.

The lamp was lit when it was still early in the night at Long Yi's request, and she also instructed that it be turned off before going to sleep, so Long Su dared not disobey.

Long Yi suddenly spoke up, "So the time of yesterday's incident was three-quarters past midnight?"

Long Su was taken aback. "Why would Your Highness think of this?"

Long Yi shook his head. "I don't understand. She's a little old lady, why would she become a vengeful ghost and harm her own kind? Fellow Daoist Hu Ling, would you be willing to enlighten me?"

Long Su's eyes widened. "Your Highness thinks I am Fellow Daoist Hu Ling?"

“Isn’t that right? Long Su has followed me for many years, how could I not recognize her?”

As Long Yi spoke, he tried to snatch the last lamp, but Long Su instinctively dodged it.

Long Su's original face skin shattered and peeled off instantly, revealing Hu Ling's face.

Hu Ling's face was full of resentment. "Why? Why won't you obediently become a scapegoat?"

"Why would you become a vengeful ghost when you're still alive?"

"What do you know? Only when you die can my people be resurrected."

Before they could finish speaking, the two demons had already fought for over a hundred rounds, and the battle was at a stalemate.

Long Yi calculated the timing and deliberately created an opening for Hu Ling.

Hu Ling, eager to save the people, fell into the trap and focused her mind to attack Long Yi.

Just as the short sword was about to strike Long Yi's brow, a ruler whistled past and pierced Hu Ling's abdomen first, causing her hand to falter. Long Yi then seized the opportunity to tie her up.

Hu Ling turned around and glared at the newcomer. "Ye Qingzhou, I didn't want you to die, why are you meddling in my business?"

Ye Qingzhou sneered, "First, you helped the ghosts plot against us. If we hadn't been alert, we would have been dead long ago. Furthermore, if you can really kill the dragon clan to resurrect your people, then your next step will definitely be to kill me to silence me."

“You wanted to kill me when I didn’t want to. Now if I don’t kill you, I will die at your hands tomorrow.”

"If I don't kill you, who should I kill?"

Hu Ling gritted her teeth and said, "If you kill me, you will incur the wrath of the Tiger Clan. Long Yi is not afraid, but are you not? Your clan is located to the west of my clan. As long as my clan's army presses in, who can protect you?"

"Yes, you have a realm master, but she is the Lord of the Underworld, not the Demon Lord. Do you think she would interfere in the internal affairs of the Demon Realm for the sake of you, her disciple whom she has known for decades?"

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou did not reply, Hu Ling was overjoyed and said again, "Let me go, and I promise not to pursue this matter. Long Yi is from a collateral branch of the Dragon Clan, while I am from the direct line of the Tiger Clan, and the clan leader is my aunt. Ye Qingzhou, I am more valuable than Long Yi!"

Upon hearing this, Long Yi couldn't help but feel worried. If Ye Qingzhou were truly persuaded to turn against him, wouldn't he be in danger?

Seeing Hu Ling bleeding profusely from her abdomen, Long Yi felt a little itchy to touch her.

If I kill Hu Ling first, wouldn't there be no future troubles?

Just as Long Yi was about to make his move, Ye Qingzhou suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hu Ling, you are very clever, and what you say makes a lot of sense. But you have forgotten that I am more valuable than you. My master cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the demon realm. Isn't your aunt afraid of being punished by the demon lord for rashly sending troops? Have you forgotten where I sat at the Qingluan Princess's marriage ceremony? I sat in the demon lord's lap."

"Perhaps you've forgotten, but the Tiger Clan Chief certainly hasn't. You're her nephew, not her son. Do you really think she'd disregard the bigger picture for your sake?"

Hu Ling's face turned pale. How could she not know what kind of person her aunt was?

But she was unwilling to accept it!

She was so young, how could she have perished here?

The wound in her abdomen had not received any treatment, and it was slowly eroding Hu Ling's life force; her time was running out.

"Ye Qingzhou, what can I do to stop you from attacking me?"

In an instant, the tide turned between offense and defense.

Ye Qingzhou won this round.
