Chapter 159 The Destiny of the World
After receiving the news that the Demon Emperor had left, Lu Li did not rush to leave the man Tianji's life was hanging by a thread, and he would die immediately as soon as Lu Li left the teahouse.
At this moment in the teahouse, Lu Li and Jin Fuer were staring at another uninvited guest, who was the woman in men's clothing who was brought along by the Demon Emperor.
When the Demon Emperor and the powerful saints were fighting, this woman was watching from the sidelines. When the remnants of the blood demon appeared in the back and everyone was busy dealing with the blood demon, this woman shouted Lu Li's name outside the teahouse.
Only then did Lu Li discover that the woman was protected and imprisoned by a method set up by the Demon Emperor. The method was set up rather casually. With the help of the famous string, Lu Li untied the means that bound the woman and brought her into the teahouse.
Hu Shiyi was sitting in the teahouse, eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table. He said as he chewed:
"Hmm... this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is really delicious (chew). This old man is so mean (chew chew). He didn't let me eat human food at all during the trip. He said that it was impossible for a demon to eat these things (chew chew)."
Lu Li frowned, looked at Jin Fuer, and said:
"Are you also a demon?"
Hu Shiyi quickly wiped the cake crumbs from his mouth:
"Yes... but I am not a demon from the Holy Eye Demon Country, Mr. Lu, I have no hostility towards you. I was caught by that stinky old man on the way here, and he insisted on showing me how weak the human race is."
Lu Li hissed. Although the woman's cultivation was sealed, Lu Li could still feel the powerful force hidden in her body. She was also a seventh-level (entering the holy realm) demon, and she must have a prominent position in her demon country.
The most important thing is that this woman's personality is very similar to an extremely key character in the original novel. If it is really her, it will be of great help to me.
Lu Li bowed and asked:
"May I ask your name, young lady?"
Hu Shiyi stared at Lu Li with shining eyes and said:
"I am Hu Shiyi from Qingqiu! Meet Mr. Lu!"
A gleam of joy flashed across Lu Li's eyes, and he immediately said:
"But the daughter of the Fox Emperor?"
The Qingqiu Demon Kingdom has always been peaceful and has the most exchanges with humans among the three demon kingdoms. The majority of the people in the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom are foxes. The current Demon Emperor, the Fox Emperor, is also a powerful warrior in the Tribulation Realm. Unlike the One-horned Demon Emperor, he has a more friendly attitude towards humans.
Hu Shiyi's face also showed joy. She didn't expect Lu Li to know her origins. She suddenly laughed foolishly and said embarrassedly:
"So Mr. Lu knows me... Hehe, I'm pretty famous."
Lu Li smiled faintly:
"The naming method of the fox clan is relatively simple. Miss Eleven is the eleventh daughter of the Fox Emperor and also his most outstanding daughter. I have heard of her before."
"Since Miss Eleven is being held hostage by the One-Horned Demon Emperor and is the daughter of the Fox Emperor, I must naturally treat her with courtesy."
His face looked calm, but he was wondering in his heart why the Demon Emperor had left Hu Shiyi behind. This old guy was extremely cunning, and even if he left in a hurry, he would not have forgotten that there was such an important demon here.
"Black and white eyes... the prediction of the Holy Eye Queen turned out to be true!"
While Lu Li was thinking, Hu Shiyi jumped to Jin Fuer again and studied her eyes.
Lu Li's mind moved, and he immediately understood the Demon Emperor's intention.
"Is this old guy paving the way for Saint Eye's return so soon?"
"Hu Shiyi's identity is special. Even the One-Horned Demon Emperor is unwilling to touch him. The Blood Demon Rebellion is already enough to keep the Holy Eye Demon Nation busy and exhausted. They definitely don't want to make enemies with other demon nations again."
"The relationship between the Qingqiu Demon Country and the human race is good. After I know Hu Shiyi's identity, I will definitely not do anything to her. I will send her back to the Qingqiu Demon Country later."
"Hu Shiyi saw the Yin-Yang Demon Pupil with her own eyes. As the daughter of the Fox Emperor, her words carry a lot of weight. The Qingqiu Demon Nation will soon know that the reincarnation of the Holy Pupil Demon Emperor has appeared." "Even though ten thousand years have passed, the Holy Pupil Demon Emperor's influence is still there. There are still many demons in the three major demon nations who regard the Holy Pupil Demon Emperor as the savior of the demon race."
"The politics of the demon race is actually no different from that of the human race. If the reincarnation of the Holy Eye Demon Emperor is really known to all demons, there will definitely be many demons who will be loyal to the Holy Eye Demon Kingdom. At that time, if the One-Horned Demon Emperor wants to unify the demon kingdom, he will naturally respond to his call!"
Lu Li figured out the Demon Emperor's plan and looked at Hu Shiyi again. This girl was cheerful and free-spirited, not scheming, so she was suitable to be his chess piece.
"Master Shengtong, have you really awakened? I admire you so much. I often heard the old fox demon tell stories about you since I was a child!"
Hu Shiyi was pestering Jin Fuer with questions, which made the latter very embarrassed. She looked at Lu Li for help.
Lu Li coughed and suddenly said:
"Miss Eleven, the battlefield outside is about to be cleared. Your identity is quite special, so it is better not to reveal it. You will call yourself a human woman later."
Hu 11 nodded:
"Okay, then I'll listen to Mr. Lu. I never thought that the legendary blood demon would actually run out."
"It's a pity that my cultivation is sealed, so I can't do anything."
Lu Li smiled faintly, and he looked at the old man Tianji who was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the teahouse.
He had already asked the system before, wanting to save old man Tianji, but the cost was extremely high.
Old Man Tianji was not tolerated by Heaven because he used a secret method called "Going Against Heaven". If he had not been protected by Lu Li with rules that were no less powerful than the Heaven's rules in this world, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
He walked towards Old Man Tianji and was about to speak, but Old Man Tianji spoke first:
"Is it time?"
Lu Li shook his head:
"I said, as long as I don't leave the teahouse, you won't die."
Old Man Tianji smiled and said:
"You are destined... No, not destined, but to break fate and save the people of the world. How can you stay in your room?"
"I am extremely satisfied that I can live till now."
Lu Li was silent for a long time before asking:
"Senior Tianji, do you have anything else to say?"
Old man Tianji's pupils were empty. He was constantly reminiscing, his eyes sometimes dim, sometimes bright.
In the end, he took back many of his words and just said:
"Gone."
Lu Li didn't say anything else. He had complicated feelings towards Old Man Tianji. He was wary of him, but also admired him. He hoped that he would die, but felt aggrieved by his ending.
"The fate of this world? Heh."
……
When Sun Li and others returned to the teahouse, it was already evening, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue and joy.
"No matter what, we finally won this battle!"
"Master Sun, you should be credited with the greatest achievement in this battle! You have shown your might today, and you are truly the strongest among the nations of Dongyuan!"
Lu Li said to everyone.
