Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Evil Bone laughed and said, "If I become a peerless master in the future, I will help you kill whoever you want."

"No, I will not allow you to kill anyone before you defeat me."

That's what I'm saying again. Qi Luosheng is really long-winded.

Evil Bones flipped through the dictionary unhappily: "Alright, alright, I'll continue learning characters."

Just then, a voice came from the riverbank: "My friend, Marquis Ce Meng has come to visit."

"I'm going to meet him on the shore. You stay here and practice your calligraphy diligently until I return."

"Ah."

When Qi Luosheng jumped to the shore, Egu suddenly became curious. Who was Qi Luosheng going to see this time? It seemed very mysterious.

She walked to the bow of the boat and looked out onto the shore.

At this moment, a person with purple hair and a purple robe was already standing in front of Qi Luosheng, waving a feather fan and exuding elegance.

However, that disgusting face, Ebony will never forget it, even in death.

"Ah! I never imagined that Qi Luosheng was actually his good friend. They're both bad people! Qi Luosheng, you lied to me, you lied to me!"

The agonizing bones tore their own writing to shreds, as did the dictionary.

They smashed everything they could in the cabin.

Then he jumped into the river and swam away.

On the shore, Qi Luosheng listened to Ce Menghou's explanation.

"I am here today to confess to my friend that I participated in the ambush of Yi Qixing because of the feud between the Eight Divisions of Strange Flowers and the Seven Cultivators of Martial Arts."

Why did you decide to be honest?

"They've all died because of the bond we formed with the Eight Immortals, and I don't want to lose you as a friend too."

Since the Eight Tribes of Qihua were inexplicably drawn into the conflict between Buddha and Li, only two members of the Eight Tribes remain: Ce Menghou and Qi Luosheng.

Qi Luosheng, who possesses the dual identities of the Eight Extraordinary Flowers and the Seven Martial Arts Masters, was truly unwilling to see Ce Menghou and Yi Qixing clash again.

"This is a deliberate attempt to sow discord; clinging to fame is meaningless."

Ce Menghou said sincerely, "It is true that I was being stubborn, so I came back this time to ask a friend to introduce me to Yi Qixing so that we can resolve our differences."

"Qiluo Sheng gladly introduced us, let's go."

Just after the two left the riverbank, Ju Yefengtan and Fengxue Yiluchan also arrived here.

Gazing at the moonlit painted boat amidst the clouds and water, Ju Yefengtan gradually fell into deep thought.

"Dude, you're daydreaming."

“Yilu Chan, do you know where Henjiang Yue is?”

"Hmm? He repeatedly violated the Green Forest Covenant back then and was expelled from the Martial Arts Arena by you. Why are you suddenly bringing him up?"

“Recently, a new organization called the Burial Blade Society has emerged in the martial arts world. It comes from the Western Regions and its actions are aimed at those who use swords. I suspect that he is the leader of the Burial Blade Society.”

Not long ago, Yun Canghai conspired with the Burial Blade Society to ambush and kill Qi Luosheng, but he died under the Jiangshan Yandao.

Afterwards, Juye Fengtan investigated the origins of the Burial Blade Society and discovered a move that he recognized.

The deceased's wound, viewed vertically, resembled a cross shape, with sharp edges on all four sides, breaking through the bone.

Such moves and injuries were from someone he deeply disliked in his memory.

Is the Burial Blade Society's aggressive invasion of the Central Plains truly solely due to the murder case at the Rain Bell Tower committed by Qi Luosheng?

Chapter 188 A Complex Surface, Hidden Powers

Deep within the strange land of joy, Zhixin and Duanmie Chanti stared at each other.

The golden markings on Duanmie's face are a symbol of demonism, befitting him as the purest descendant of the demon race.

When Zhi Xin died in the first Holy War, Duan Mie was still very young, barely able to remember anything, and knew nothing about his origins.

"Devil Father."

Zhi Xin nodded: "You are very good, and your brother is very good too... It is your father who has failed you and failed Tianyan Demon City."

"Father of Demons, there is no need to blame yourself. To die in battle is an honor for the demons."

"I am not born of a demon, nor are you brothers from a demonic womb. Rather, I created you using my own demonic blood and ancient demonic energy. The details are as follows..."

Even demons have the right to know their origins.

Zhi Xin recounted in detail his entanglement with Tian Zhi Li and Tian Zhi Fo, as well as his two separate visits to the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, where he offered pure demon blood, free of both Buddha and Li elements, as a sacrifice. After merging with ancient demonic energy, he transformed into He Hua Chan Ti and Duan Mie Chan Ti.

"You've worked hard, Father!"

“My son, I created you, and now you have returned this bloodline to me. It is truly the will of Heaven.”

If when he was first resurrected, Zhi Xin still had the ambition to rebuild Tianyan Demon City and the hatred to avenge Hua Chanti, now that he saw Duanmie, his ambition and hatred melted away like an iceberg under the sunlight.

The father and son talked for a long time before the Holy Infant Lord sent a little demon to interrupt them: "The Demon King invites you to a meeting."

"Meeting?"

It was indeed a meeting, but it was chaired by Duan Junheng, and those present included members of the three major sects of the demon realm:

Strange Land of Joy: Demon King Yan Wushang.

Black Prison: The current Demon Emperor, Fallen Goddess, and two great demon ministers, the Hidden God Zhong Kui and the Head-Seizing Demon Lord.

The Beginningless Dark Realm: The current Dark Lord is the Six-Headed Cloud Dragon, the Two Giant Lords are the Giant Greedy Lord and the Marquis Lord Chi Ao.

In terms of numbers, Guai Le Di was clearly outnumbered by the other two, but the atmosphere changed dramatically after Zhi Xin and Duan Mie Chan Ti joined the fray.

Zhi Xin was handsome, but he was all show and no substance.

However, the aura of the ancient pure demon bloodline of the Demon Lord was different. It immediately made the great demons of the Black Prison and the Dark Realm feel cold.

Both demons and monsters highly value bloodline inheritance. Moreover, both the Hundred Demon Path of Qiushan and the Heavenly Demon City originated from the Mirage Sea Underworld Capital. The more ancestral the bloodline, the more revered they are.

The great demons glanced at Yan Wushang, who possessed a spiritual fire and a blade of consciousness that were difficult for demons to cultivate, and was rumored to be the reincarnation of the demon world's creator, the God of War, Xueqi.

The reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor is naturally superior to the Demon who has returned to his ancestral form in terms of bloodline inheritance.

With Zhi Xin and Duanmie Chanti taking their seats, the great demons who had previously been nitpicking Yan Wushang became more peaceful.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Duan Junheng coughed lightly:

"Ten thousand men draw their bows and shoot at the same target, and every shot will hit its mark. Now the demon realm is divided into three branches, making it difficult to concentrate forces against external enemies and each acting independently internally. It would be better to integrate our forces and restore the traditional governance of the demon realm."

Fallen Goddess immediately objected: "Easy to say, but who will exercise power? After the founding ancestor, power was divided and each governed their own affairs. What's wrong with that?"

The two demon ministers of the Black Prison immediately seconded the motion.

The six-headed cloud dragon had no particular thoughts, but its two subordinate giants were different; these two were always concerned about their predecessor, the Dark Lord Feng Shimo.

The two giants immediately made a demand: "Whoever can bring back the Dark Lord, the Dark Realm will serve as his master."

Seeing the two giants' thoughts, the Fallen God Palace then revealed a huge secret:

"The former Demon Emperor and Dark Lord disappeared after the battle with the Giant Demon God. After hundreds of years of investigation, I have found their whereabouts. They were captured by the bald monks of the Heavenly Buddha Plain and imprisoned in the Deep Palace of the Buddha Plain!"

"what!"

"How is that possible?"

Why did the bald monk from the Heavenly Buddha's Homeland capture the Demon Emperor and the Dark Lord?

The great demons were in an uproar upon hearing this news.

The long-lost Demon Emperor Dark Lord was captured by the Heavenly Buddha Homeland, a turn of events that truly surprised Duan Junheng.

Duan Junheng asked, "What evidence does the Demon Emperor have?"

The Fallen Goddess sneered, "While you've been singing and dancing merrily for centuries, the Black Prison has been searching for the whereabouts of the two Demon Kings! We've gone through countless hardships to finally uncover this information; hear the details..."

Not long after the Heavenly Buddha Realm captured the Demon Emperor and the Dark Lord, the Buddha Realm split internally. The Deep Palace's leader, Chang Yingluo, fought a bloody battle with the three Venerables of the Desire Realm, and the entire Buddha Realm almost collapsed.

Finally, the Three Venerables of Cleansing Sins, with the power of the Nine Wheels of the Jade Sea, sealed away the Buddha of Deep Abyss and the beings of the Desire Realm.

The Demon Emperor and the Dark Lord were sealed at the same time.

"How did you learn about such a confidential matter?"

Before Fallen God Palace could say anything more, upon hearing the name Shang Yingluo, Yan Wushang jumped up: "Is the Deep Palace Steward you mentioned Fozhu?"

"Of course."

Yan Wushang immediately slammed his hand on the table and made a decision: "Attack the Buddhist Kingdom with all our might and rescue the Demon Emperor Dark Lord!"

Duan Junheng cried out urgently, "Holy Infant Master, calm down!"

"I can't calm down, Lao Duan, you be my strategist and get her back for me!"

To save lives, we must confront the Heavenly Buddha's Homeland head-on, where a raging war will soon erupt.

If we don't save them, we won't be able to convince the people. Besides, the capture of the Demon Emperor Dark Lord is an insult to the entire demon realm.

Just as Duan Junheng was having a headache, Duo Shenque came to his rescue: "Do you think the Deep Sea Seal is so easy to break? We need to find the location of the Jade Sea Nine Wheels first, and only Ghost Eye can see through the Jade Sea Nine Wheels."

"Ghost Eye, huh?"

This meeting led to a renewed consensus within the demon realm after thousands of years, uniting the entire demon realm in the search for Ghost Eye.

After the meeting, Duan Junheng instructed Duanmie Chanti to return to Tiandu and report on the current situation of the demon realm.

When Duanmie returned, Tiandu was also holding a meeting—a tripartite meeting between the Dead Kingdom, Wanyi Merchant Castle, and Tiandu.

The first five-year plan for trade with the dead country has come to an end, and it's time for payment and delivery.

This time, it was actually Lord Cui Wanyi who came in person with his wife, while Cui Housheng stayed at home.

Put public interests first, then private interests.

As the guarantor, Tiandu provided complete transaction vouchers, with each transaction recorded clearly and accurately, which impressed Cui Wanyi greatly.

"I never imagined that Miss Jun was such a financial expert."

"You flatter me, Lord."

The accounting method used by Jun Manlu was found in the Tiandu Library. It was created by her ancestor Jun Fengqing, after all, Jun Fengqing designed a country's financial system back then.
