However, the Coiling Dragon God had clearly told the Demonic God that the Heaven-Splitting Arrow was meant for his descendants. Yet, of all people, he chose Ye Tiankong, who was unable to cultivate. Even though Ye Tiankong was very talented, he was still unable to cultivate! He remembered that the Demonic God had said that this was a trap. Could there really be something fishy going on?
Damn it! What the hell were these big shots up to? Yue Qianchou looked at the Heaven-Splitting Arrow in his hand and suddenly shivered. He felt as if he had fallen into some kind of trap. He began to consider whether or not he should keep the Heaven-Splitting Arrow, lest he was used by others without even knowing it.
However, it was a pity to abandon such a divine artifact. Yue Qianchou kept it without hesitation. No matter what, it was better to keep a good treasure. Not only could it save his life at a critical moment, it could also prevent it from falling into the hands of others.
"Alright, alright. Don't cry. Since it's all in the past, let's forget about it." Yue Qianchou waved his hand, pretending to be magnanimous. "I won't argue with you anymore. After all, you can't be blamed entirely. If you want to blame someone, blame Ye Tiankong for being too cunning." Speaking up to this point, his heart surged with a bunch of knots. Ye Tiankong created the Demon Domain, but he and his disciple helped him guard the Demon Domain and worked as torture envoys for such a long time. What a scam!
Hong Tailong immediately stopped crying. He wiped away his tears and asked, "Then what about the transmission jade archive?" The fat child stared at his grandfather, dumbfounded. He was so shocked that he couldn't say a word. This was probably the first time he had seen his grandfather cry.
"It's gone. What else can I do? If you don't have it, then don't use it! " Although Yue Qianchou was magnanimous, he still couldn't help but feel his heart ache. He asked in confusion, "Since Ye Tiankong was able to trick you to this extent, how did you know his identity?"
"He said it himself." Hong Tailong's eyes instantly blurred, and with a reminiscing expression, he slowly said, "I don't know where Jintai and Bai Qi got the Soul Transforming Smoke from. Ye Tiankong and I never dreamed that they could actually get their hands on the Soul Transforming Smoke, so we fell into their trap. I'm afraid that the two of them think that we're dead for sure, but they don't know that my dragon race is immune to the Soul Transforming Smoke refined by the phoenix feather. The Soul Transforming Smoke has no effect on me, and Ye Tian Kong was able to hold on for a period of time because of the dragon essence I poured into him, but he also knows that he won't be able to live for long. He made me suck in all the Soul Dissolving Smoke that Jin Tai and Bai Qi had set up. Then, he made me spit it out at the Immortal Ascension Stage in the human world. He used the Soul Dissolving Smoke to set up a grand array to prevent people from the Immortal World from coming to the human world again. "
Yue Qianchou rubbed his chin and asked quietly, "The array formation at the seal of the Demon Realm must have been set up by him, right? What's your intention? "
"He said that Demon Lord Three Nights had once said that he had thrown a demonic book into this human world, hoping that someone would be able to learn the demonic art and open up the passageway to the Demon Realm." Hong Tailong shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly. "Ye Tian Kong said that he had fallen in love with this world, but he couldn't ruin his father's plans. So, he set up a grand array that could seal the Demon Realm once again. If he could block it, then he'd block it. If he couldn't, then he'd just let it go. It would be up to heaven's will.
Yue Qianchou nodded slightly. He had experienced that scene, so he knew that Hong Tailong wasn't lying. Ye Tian Kong didn't lie to Hong Tailong either. After Yan Zhuixing opened up the passageway to the Demon Realm, the grand array did seal the passageway to the Demon Realm once again.
Hong Tailong continued to narrate, "I said that I wanted to take revenge for him, but he said that I wasn't a match for those two cunning fellows, so he didn't want anything to happen to me. I also asked him why he didn't destroy the Immortal Ascension Stage and seal the passageway to the Netherworld. That way, no one from the Netherworld or Immortal Realm would be able to come to this human world. He didn't tell me the answer at first. It was only when he tricked me here and used my Dragon Binding Rope to bind me that he told me the reason. "
Yue Qianchou's brows twitched slightly. Two streams of clear tears silently slid down Hong Tailong's face as he sobbed. "After he revealed his identity, he said that he was very happy to have met me. It was the happiest time in his life. I was the one who allowed him to realize his dream of flying in the sky and burrowing into the earth. He was willing to die for this once in his life. He didn't care how long it would be, as long as he was happy. He didn't feel pain because he was poisoned by the Soul Transforming Smoke. After all, he had changed his fate before.
"He said that it wasn't that he didn't have the ability to destroy the Immortal Ascension Stage, and it wasn't that he didn't have the ability to seal the Netherworld. Similarly, it wasn't that he didn't have the ability to completely annihilate Jin Tai and Bai Qi. It was that he couldn't do it, because he wasn't the person I was looking for. Because he didn't know what the mission of punishing on behalf of the Heavens was. He just wanted to have a good time in this world, and he didn't want to make any big changes. The mission of punishing on behalf of the Heavens should belong to whoever it belonged to. He was just borrowing it for fun. When he couldn't play anymore, he naturally had to return it to someone else.
"He said that he really liked this world, and it was much friendlier than the Devil Realm. He really didn't want to see this world being ravaged by outsiders, so he created the Demon Realm. If one day someone wanted to destroy the peace here, he wanted to do his best to give this world a little bit of protection, so that it wouldn't be easily ruined by outsiders. At least he wouldn't have come in vain, and this world would give him a little bit of happiness in return. He was also afraid that the combination of the Divine Arrow and the Demon and Ghost Immortal Execution Formation would be too powerful and completely destroy this world, so he deliberately left one of the ten thousand swords that contained the soul of the Great God Yi in the Heaven and Earth Formation.
"He said that if the person who punishes on behalf of the Heavens is destined, then that person will find me sooner or later. When that time comes, he wants me to tell that person that there is another divine sword in a lake in the Heaven and Earth Formation, and let him find it. If he finds it, then it will be returned to its original owner, but if he can't find it, then he can't be blamed. The remaining nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine swords are in the center of the lake outside, and have become the formation's eye of the Demon Realm. If I think of a way to take them out from the stone pillar, the formation will naturally be broken. As for the jade archive, there are many things in it that are too disadvantageous to the people of the Devil Realm. He and Demon King Three Nights are father and son, and he doesn't want to see someone kill his father one day, so he confiscated it.
"He said that if that person can enter the Heaven and Earth Formation, then he must have grasped the method to control the Purple Flames. As for the Dragon Binding Rope that trapped me, he used the energy of the Purple Flames of the Mortal Realm to set up a formation to control it. If he can break the Heaven and Earth Formation, then he can similarly release me. When that time comes, everything will be dust to dust, and dust to dust. He told me to tell that person that he only borrowed it for fun, and that he really doesn't owe that person anything.
"After he said all this, he used the Divine Dragon's Empowerment Art to return the cultivation I gave him to me, and then … and then, right before my eyes … right before my eyes, smiling, he sank into this river of lava … instantly turning into ashes … never to be seen again …"
At this point, Hong Tailong's tears were already streaming down his aged face, and he was sobbing uncontrollably. Behind him, the bare-bottomed child also started sobbing. It was unknown whether it was because he had truly understood the story and felt sad, or because he was touched by the sight of his grandfather crying and cried along with him.
After listening to Hong Tailong's story, Yue Qianchou stood in silence for a long time. Then, he let out a long sigh. He didn't expect that such a story would be hidden behind this torturous matter. He asked himself honestly, as the person who impersonated the punishment on behalf of the heavens, he had no reason to blame anyone.
Looking at Hong Tailong, who had fallen in love with him, Yue Qianchou shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could tell that Ye Tiankong wasn't a bad person, and he could also tell that Ye Tiankong had treated Hong Tailong very well in the past. Furthermore, the happy times that Ye Tiankong had gone through must have been one of Hong Tailong's happiest times.
Although Hong Tailong had cursed Ye Tiankong as a bastard, saying that he had lied to him, he couldn't hide the fact that their true friendship was right before his eyes. Back then, it wasn't that Hong Tailong didn't suspect Ye Tiankong. It was most likely because he was willing to be kept in the dark and foolishly fooled around with Ye Tiankong!
After all, to some people with true temperament, sometimes friendship or love was far higher than the endless pursuit of profound cultivation. For example, Wen Lanfeng's love for Lu Yanqing was unwavering until death!
"I've already broken the Heaven and Earth Great Array. I've also found the divine sword that was abandoned at the Moonlight Lake. The Heaven and Earth Splitting Arrow has also been restored to its original state." Yue Qianchou looked at the two golden chains in Hong Tailong's hands and said indifferently, "Ye Tiankong is right. I can indeed control the energy of the purple flames. Perhaps I can help you undo the shackles of the Dragon Binding Rope. Do you want to continue staying here and grieve, or do you want to leave with me?"
Hong Tailong hurriedly wiped away his tears. Looking at Yue Qianchou, he said weakly, "Did Ancestor Coiling Dragon agree to let me out?"
F * ck! Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes. He immediately realized that he had fallen into this old dragon's trap. Hong Tailong was pretending to be pitiful, but in reality, he mistakenly believed that Yue Qianchou was really related to Ancestor Coiling Dragon. After beating around the bush for so long, he wanted to know Ancestor Coiling Dragon's attitude. He was afraid that he would be punished for failing to complete Ancestor Coiling Dragon's mission.
Damn it, you're dishonest! You used to have fun with Ye Tiankong, but now you're afraid? Yue Qianchou raised his brows and said, "Let me ask you, why did Ancestor Coiling Dragon look for you to do this mission?"
Hong Tailong was stunned. He didn't know what he meant by this question. He hesitantly replied, "I don't know either. This is the first time Ancestor Coiling Dragon has summoned me. It's also the first time I've directly accepted a mission from Ancestor Coiling Dragon. I don't know why."
First time? Yue Qianchou's eyes narrowed. It looked like Coiling Dragon had purposely chosen this guy. This matter might really be as the Demonic God had said, a well-planned trap!
Yue Qianchou's eyes darted around. He stared at Hong Tailong and chuckled coldly. "Tell me honestly, did you really forget to ask about the way back to the Immortal Realm? Or did you actually know the way back, but because you went overboard and were afraid that you wouldn't be able to answer to Ancestor Coiling Dragon, you had a guilty conscience and discussed with Ye Tiankong to trap yourself here?"
Hong Tailong's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly, "How is that possible …"
"Don't try that in front of me! No one can lie in front of me and get away with it! "Yue Qianchou waved his hand and interrupted Hong Tailong's words. He sneered and said," Damn it! You and Ye Tiankong are simply bad partners who work hand in glove with each other. Ye Tiankong has arranged everything flawlessly. Once he's done enjoying himself, how could he forget about you, the accomplice of a villain? If he didn't help you calculate a way to answer to the mission, he probably wouldn't have died a happy death. You wouldn't have stayed here obediently for so many years, right? If you had nothing better to do, wouldn't you at least vent your anger by shouting a few times? "
