When Demoness Ji saw Su Zimo's desolate expression, she suddenly recalled his situation and could not bear to blame him.
His family and friends were all in the North Region.
If not for the fact that he had no other choice, why would he choose to hide from the world?
Furthermore, his Jin Dan was crippled.
He was once so dazzling as an Extreme Foundation Establishment Cultivator and the second Human Emperor. He suppressed the paragons of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects in the Human Emperor's Palace and swept through all the heroes of the North Region. He incinerated Genying Zhenjun and was known as the number one monster incarnate in history!
But now, he had fallen from his pedestal and had nothing left.
In fact, he did not even have a place to stay!
Who would be able to understand and endure such a blow?
Initially, Demoness Ji was filled with resentment. However, when she heard Su Zimo's words, she felt her heart ache.
She said gently, "Zimo, you can come to Pure Maiden Sect. We'll protect you."
"Protect a demon, huh?"
Su Zimo laughed self-deprecatingly.
Demoness Ji opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, she did not say anything in the end.
She could not care about anything, but she could not guarantee that her sect would be the same.
Although Pure Maiden Sect was a fiend sect, they were humans after all.
The feud between humans and demons had been going on for a long time. Unless one party signed a blood oath, there was no way the other party would accept the other party.
Demoness Ji said, "Zimo, you can explain. You're not a demon at all and the Human Emperor's Palace will not allow demons to enter!"
Su Zimo sneered and shook his head.
Given his personality and pride, there was no way he would explain something as such.
In other words, even if he was willing to explain, who would believe him?
If he could enter the Human Emperor's Palace, there was no way he was a demon. That was the simplest logic that anyone could understand.
It was just that some people were pretending to be confused.
The truth was no longer important.
What was important was that the entire North Region wanted Su Zimo dead. If they said that he was a demon, he was a demon. If they said that he was a fiend, he was a fiend. It was useless no matter what he said!
"What are your plans from now on? Are you going to hide forever?" Demoness Ji asked.
"I'm waiting for an opportunity!"
Su Zimo said slowly, "When I appear, it will also be time to leave the Northern Region!"
"Leave the North Region?" She frowned slightly.
The North Region was too big, and danger was everywhere!
Not to mention that Su Zimo's Jin Dan was already crippled, even if he was in his peak condition, it would be unrealistic for him to cross the Northern Region unscathed.
Her heart skipped a beat as she thought of a possibility and blurted out, "The ancient battlefield!"
"Not bad."
Su Zimo nodded.
In another 15 years, the intermediate ancient battlefield would open.
As long as they could enter the intermediate ancient battlefield, they would be able to head to other regions or even the Middle Continent through the space nodes of other regions of the Infinite Mainland, just like Xiaoning and Leng Rou.
This time, Su Zimo intended to leave with his elder brother, Su Hong.
Before this, Ji Yaoxue had said that Su Hong's health was deteriorating.
The blow to Su Hong after learning of his death and the calamity that befell the citizens of Yan Country was unimaginable.
Furthermore, Su Hong had failed to assassinate the King of Yan, Zhao Qian, and was constantly injured. Su Zimo did not know how much longer his elder brother could last.
After all, Su Hong was not a cultivator and his lifespan was limited.
In another 15 years, Su Hong would be in his sixties and would only have slightly more than 40 years of lifespan left.
Su Zimo wanted to bring Su Hong with him to the Middle Continent to look for Xiaoning.
The siblings had to be by Su Hong's side in his final moments.
Furthermore, ever since Xiaoning left Ping Yang Town and joined Azure Frost Sect with Ji Yaoxue, Su Hong and Xiaoning had not seen each other again.
In the blink of an eye, more than 10 years had passed.
The main reason why Xiaoning entered cultivation and focused on elixir refinement, even heading to Elixir Yang Sect to cultivate, was to extend Su Hong's life!
It would be best if they could find a way to extend Su Hong's lifespan by the time they met.
"Have you truly made up your mind to leave?"
Demoness Ji could not conceal the disappointment in her eyes. Her expression was dim as she whispered, "Why would I … what about my sister?"
Su Zimo was silent.
"My sister knows you so well. If even I can recognize you, she must have recognized you long ago."
Demoness Ji sighed gently. "It's just that she understands you and your difficulties. That's why she didn't force you or expose you."
"It's good that she recognized me. At the very least, she knows that I'm still alive and doesn't have to worry about me," Su Zimo said.
After a moment of silence, Su Zimo continued, "After you return this time round, pay more attention to the people around Yaoxue. As the empress, her movements must be extremely secretive. I suspect that someone doesn't want her to return alive after being ambushed here! "
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help my sister."
Silence fell between the two of them.
Demoness Ji did not say anything and merely looked at Su Zimo quietly.
A long time later, Su Zimo said softly, "Let's go back."
"Then … take care of yourself."
Demoness Ji was in low spirits and her eyes were bloodshot with a sad expression.
A moment later, she sniffed and forced out a smile, pretending to be carefree. "Let's have one last hug as a farewell."
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before nodding.
He walked forward and gave Demoness Ji a symbolic hug.
A sly look flashed through her eyes as she turned around and pecked Su Zimo gently on the cheek with her red lips.
Su Zimo was stunned.
Her black hair brushed against his face and her fragrance wafted over. Demoness Ji had already turned to flee.
"Hehehe!"
Demoness Ji laughed and her eyes curved into crescents. She was overjoyed and did not seem disappointed at all.
"Damned demoness!"
Su Zimo grit his teeth.
"You're so stupid."
Demoness Ji made a funny face at Su Zimo with disdain and pouted her lips. "Leave if you want. I don't care!"
"How can I let you off so easily when you took advantage of me in the stone coffin previously? Hmph, Just Now, I'm only collecting some interest, "Demoness Ji waved her fist.
Without saying anything, Su Zimo turned to leave.
With his back facing Demoness Ji, he could not see the sadness and reluctance in the depths of her eyes.
Even after he disappeared at the end of the ruins, a woman in pink remained standing there, looking in his direction and refusing to leave for a long time.
Su Zimo returned to the old temple and entered.
Ming Zhen was chanting sutras in the courtyard. When he saw Su Zimo enter, he could not help but exclaim softly with a surprised expression.
"Little Junior Brother, you're injured?"
Ming Zhen asked.
"I'm fine,"
Su Zimo's chest was pierced by a sword. However, the wound had already healed in a short period of time.
With a grim expression, Ming Zhen closed in and glared at Su Zimo's cheeks. He even sniffed and said in a deep voice, "Not good, there are two red marks on your cheeks and there's a faint fragrance! Little Junior Brother, you've been poisoned! "
That was the lipstick mark left behind by Demoness Ji and Su Zimo had forgotten to wipe it off. Ming Zhen had not even seen a woman at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley and naturally did not know what it was.
Su Zimo's face darkened and he pushed Ming Zhen's bald head away, barking hatefully, "Hit your head!"
Su Zimo wiped the lipstick mark on his cheeks as he entered the Sutra Chamber.
Ming Zhen looked at the old monk with a confused expression and asked seriously, "Master, why is Little Junior Brother angry?"
"Erm …"
The old monk replied, "Perhaps … he's poisoned."
"See, I told you! Little Junior Brother didn't believe me!" Ming Zhen pouted.
