Liu Ming and Luo Hu's question and answer made the purple-haired woman's eyes flashed with a look of astonishment. Especially when the woman heard "Rebirth Realm", her face instantly turned pale.
She hurriedly looked around, and with a slightly relieved expression, she raised her voice and asked, "What's wrong with you?
"Who are you? What is this place? "
"May I ask if you are the wife of the Central Dynasty's Demon King, Huangfu Yong, Zhao Hui from the Zhao family?" Liu Ming turned around and looked at the purple-haired woman. He did not answer the woman's question. Instead, he said with a faint smile.
When the purple-haired woman heard this, she was slightly stunned and did not speak.
From the change in her expression, Liu Ming could roughly guess the answer. So, he smiled and said,
"Fellow Zhao, don't worry. I have no ill intentions. Speaking of which, just like you, I was also caught by the Original Demon Lord and brought to the Rebirth State. Not long ago, I was lucky enough to escape. When I saw you nearby, I brought you out. "
When the purple-haired woman, who was Zhao Hui, heard this, she was shocked. She carefully looked at Liu Ming and pondered.
Although she lost her consciousness after entering the Rebirth State, she still had the memory of being caught by the Original Demon Lord. Moreover, after she entered the Metaphysic Realm, she regained some of her consciousness. She vaguely remembered that the Rebirth State collapsed and she was saved by someone. It seemed to be the doing of the person in front of her.
"I see. Fellow, you saved my life. I am extremely sorry for talking back to you." Zhao Hui bowed to Liu Ming and said apologetically. However, there was still a trace of caution in her eyes.
"It's no big deal. Speaking of which, it is really something to celebrate that you have regained your consciousness. "Liu Ming waved his hand and said lightly.
"May I know your name? I will definitely repay you for saving my life in the future." Zhao Hui suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and did not mention anything about losing her consciousness. Instead, she cupped her hands and asked Liu Ming.
"I'm Liu Ming … As for repayment, there's no need. My friendship with Zhao Qianying is quite good, so I don't need to thank her." Liu Ming's eyes flickered slightly. He hesitated for a moment and reported his name.
Hearing this, Zhao Hui's eyes flashed. She glanced at Liu Ming and revealed a trace of doubt.
Liu Ming didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little guilty. He coughed dryly and changed the topic.
"Fellow Zhao, we have returned to the Thousand Demons Continent. We are now in the Yue Province. What do you plan to do next?"
"From what you've said, we're currently in the Myriad Demon Continent. Is this true?" Zhao Hui asked in disbelief when she heard this.
Liu Ming didn't speak when he heard the words. He just waved his hand, and the light curtain around the island dissipated.
Zhao Hui flew into the air. Feeling the familiar aura of the Thousand Demons Continent, she was excited and her body trembled slightly.
However, she was a person with strong self-control and quickly controlled her emotions.
A figure blurred, and Liu Ming's figure appeared on the side without warning.
Zhao Hui's face was shocked. She looked at Liu Ming with some surprise and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Ever since she recovered her consciousness, she found that she had unknowingly advanced to the Ethereal Understanding realm. However, facing Liu Ming, she still felt at a loss. The aura that Liu Ming exuded was not very strong, but his every move made her feel like she was looking up to a mountain.
"Ms. Zhao …" Liu Ming glanced at Zhao Hui deeply and said faintly.
"No … nothing." Zhao Hui did not know what to do when Liu Ming looked at her. She quickly looked away.
"I have something to do and need to go to the Imperial City. If Fellow Zhao has the same intention, we can travel together," Liu Ming said with a smile.
"Sure." Zhao Hui was a little startled and said.
"If that's the case, let's not waste any more time. Let's go." Liu Ming waved his hand and a black light emerged. It turned into a black cloud and enveloped the two. Then, the cloud turned into a black ray of light and shot into the distance.
Zhao Hui saw the scenery around her rapidly passing by and everything seemed to become blurry. Compared to the speed of her own escape, she was even more surprised.
"Liu, do you know what happened in the Land of Rebirth? How did we escape the control of the Original Demon Lord?" Zhao Hui hesitated for a long time and asked the question she was most concerned about.
As the Split Soul of the Original Demon Lord, the one she was most afraid of was the Original Demon Lord. Therefore, Zhao Hui really wanted to know the cause and result of the drastic change in the Land of Rebirth.
"Half a month ago, the Land of Rebirth suddenly turned upside down without any warning. The entire space seemed to be collapsing. Coincidentally, I have a treasure that can break through space, so I risked my life to escape. As for what happened in the Land of Rebirth, I have no idea. Perhaps something happened to the Original Demon Lord himself. "Liu Ming's eyes flashed and he shook his head.
He naturally would not tell Zhao Hui about the battle with the Original Demon Lord and how he killed the Original Demon Lord.
"I see …" Hearing this, Zhao Hui's eyes revealed a trace of disappointment.
"Fellow Zhao, you don't need to worry too much. I think that since such a drastic change happened in the Land of Rebirth, the Original Demon Lord, who created this secret realm, should not be able to escape unscathed. He might have died along with the collapse of the space." Liu Ming said.
"I hope so." Zhao Hui sighed.
"Oh right, I have heard some news about the Central Dynasty from a few demon dwellers in the Yue State. Some of it is related to Huangfu Yong and Fellow Zhao Qianying. Fellow Zhao, you should be interested, right?" Liu Ming's eyes flashed as he said.
In fact, he had an indescribable feeling for Zhao Qianying in his heart. Now that he knew that he would be forced to ascend soon, he had to properly deal with the relationship between him and this woman. Otherwise, it would probably leave a hidden danger in his state of mind, and it would be detrimental to his future cultivation.
Regarding this matter, he already had some plans. He was afraid that he would need the help of his mother, Zhao Hui.
"Really? Please tell me, Liu. "Hearing this, Zhao Hui's face was filled with eagerness.
"This is naturally no problem." Liu Ming smiled slightly. After a pause, he relayed the news he had heard before.
During the process, Zhao Hui's expression changed, especially when she heard that Huangfu Yong had not appeared in the Myriad Demon Continent for hundreds of years. Her face was filled with worry.
Out of Liu Ming's expectation, Zhao Hui was not very interested in Zhao Qianying becoming the Demon Empress and the Central Dynasty's current crisis.
…
Just as Liu Ming and Zhao Hui were rushing to the Central Dynasty, there was a solemn atmosphere in the conference hall of the Demon Palace in the Central Imperial City of Yu State.
Sitting on the main seat was a stunning purple-haired girl in a graceful purple robe.
If Liu Ming was here, he would recognize that the girl was Zhao Qianying.
Compared to hundreds of years ago, there was almost no change in her appearance. The only difference was that she looked more mature and steady. She was not as young as she used to be.
Apart from that, her cultivation had reached the Metaphysic Realm.
There were three people sitting below her. All of them were wearing the purple-robed elder's uniform of the Huangfu Clan. They were Huangfu Yupo, Huangfu Zhantian, and another silver-haired middle-aged man with a ferocious expression.
Among the four of them, Huangfu Zhantian's cultivation was naturally the highest. He looked elegant, but his body faintly emitted a chill, causing the entire hall to feel like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
At this moment, the silver-haired middle-aged man was reporting something to Zhao Qianying with a solemn expression.
"… According to the latest information, apart from a few big cities at the border, the Liangzhou has basically been conquered by the rebels. It's said that this group of rebels are the remnants of the Liu Clan from hundreds of years ago, "the silver-haired middle-aged man said with a solemn expression.
As soon as this was said, Zhao Qianying and Huangfu Yupo could not help but be shocked. On the other hand, Huangfu Zhantian's eyes were lowered, and his expression was calm as if he already knew about it.
"Elder Tong, is the information reliable? As far as I know, the backbone of the Liu Clan has already been completely destroyed in the war that year. How could they still have the strength to conquer a province? "Huangfu Yupo frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"This matter should not be wrong. The other group of spies that the clan has placed in the Liangzhou has also sent back the same information." The silver-haired middle-aged man paused for a moment and said so.
"Elder Yupo, could it be that you think Elder Tong would lie about such a major matter that concerns the clan?" Huangfu Zhantian suddenly said at this moment.
"Elder Zhantian, I'm just stating the facts. You must know that the Liu Clan was jointly annihilated by the allied forces led by the Huangfu Clan and the other three great clans. Now, they suddenly appeared and even conquered a province at lightning speed. Doesn't Elder Zhantian find it suspicious?" Huangfu Yupo said with a slight frown.
"Elder Tong, did the information from the Liangzhou mention that other forces were involved?" Before Huangfu Zhantian could speak, Zhao Qianying suddenly said.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the information did not mention it … That's right, the spies reported a piece of information. However, they only made a preliminary guess, so I didn't explain it just now." The silver-haired middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said so.
"Oh, what is the information? Tell me about it." Huangfu Zhantian spoke before Zhao Qianying could speak.
Zhao Qianying's face darkened, but she did not flare up on the spot.
"According to the spy's report, someone in this rebel army performed the Kong Xiang Clan's Beast Transformation Secret Skill. However, he only saw it from afar, so he can't be very sure." The silver-haired middle-aged man said.
As soon as they heard this, Zhao Qianying and Huangfu Yupo looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly.
If it was only the Liu Clan's remnants that rebelled, it would not be a problem at all. However, if the Kong Xiang Clan was involved, then the matter was much more serious.
In fact, ever since the Liu Clan was annihilated, the three great clans — the Kong Xiang, Gao He, and Long Clan — still bowed to the Central Dynasty on the surface, but they might not necessarily do so in secret. They had done many things that were outwardly obedient but inwardly opposed.
In this regard, the Central Dynasty, which had suffered a great loss due to Huangfu Yong's disappearance, could only turn a blind eye to it for the time being. As long as the three great clans did not do anything overboard, they would not interfere.
However, if the three great clans colluded with the Liu Clan's remnants, then the nature of the matter would be very different.
