He knew that those human-shaped puppets had come for him, wanting to kill him.
At this moment, City Lord Gu also led the Gu family to this place. He knelt down and apologized to the Emperor,"We are late to protect the emperor. Please forgive us."”
Hearing that City Lord Gu was here, Zuo Nu immediately returned to Qiongyue's side. He was afraid that City Lord Gu would harm her, so he could not care less about Gu Luoluo and Divine Lord.
"City Lord Gu, are you mistaken? I'm only here to look for someone, not to hurt your Saint Monarch. Please investigate, Your Majesty." Qiong Yue said to the Emperor.
The Emperor, who was hiding in the shelter, poked his head out and said," City Lord Gu, you've misunderstood. It was another group of people who wanted to attack me." He had been killed by this fairy and was lying in a pool of blood.”
Qiongyue smiled." Since this is a misunderstanding, we don't need to be entangled anymore. I'm here to look for someone, so I'll take my leave first.”
With that, she flew into the crowd and identified them one by one.
"Is this everyone?" Qiongyue asked Zuo Nu.
Only then did Zuo Nu remember the Divine Lord and Gu Luoluo who had escaped. The other two were in the bamboo forest and were heavily injured. They couldn't have gone far.”
The Emperor, who was sitting in the sedan chair, calmed down." These people are all under the spell of the yao. Since someone has joined forces with the yao to plot against my life, why can't I cooperate with the yao to protect my position?”Thinking of this, he called City Lord Gu over." City Lord Gu, please help me invite City Lord Gu over. I have something to discuss with her."”
City Lord Gu obeyed the Emperor's orders and went to find Fairy Qiong Yue.
Qiong Yue arrived at the place where Gu Luoluo and the Divine Lord were last seen, but she couldn't find any trace of them.
" Your Majesty, they can't have gone far. I'll go and find them now," Zuo Nu said.
"I'll go myself!" Qiong Yue searched around the bamboo forest.
She finally found Gu Luoluo by a lake. She had fainted there, and there was no sign of the Divine Lord.
It turned out that the Divine Lord had long known that Qiongyue would chase after him, so he had transformed back into a snake and hid under Gu Luoluo.
"Fairy, what are you looking for?" City Lord Gu asked her.
"I'm looking for a Divine Lord."
City Lord Gu looked around. Other than his daughter, Gu Luoluo, there was no one else around." Fairy, you're not trying to say that my Di daughter is a Divine Lord, are you?”
Qiongyue laughed loudly,"Of course not."
"Since you can't find him, why don't you come back to the palace with me? His Majesty has invited you.”
Seeing that there was no one around and that the Divine Lord's aura had disappeared, Qiong Yue agreed to City Lord Gu's suggestion.
City Lord Gu looked at Gu Luoluo, who was on the verge of death. He had used up his cultivation to heal her.
" Whether you can survive tonight depends on yourself." City Lord Gu knew that Gu Luoluo's injuries were severe. Even if he used his cultivation to heal her, she might not be able to survive tonight.
City Lord Gu followed Qiong Yue to the palace.
Qiong Yue sat in the palace. She did not bow, and she still had an arrogant posture.
"May I know why Your Majesty is looking for me? The human and demon had previously stipulated that without permission, both parties must not step into each other's territory. It was better for me not to stay here for long!”
The emperor smiled,"The rule that humans and demons can't coexist should be changed." You have saved the emperor this time, so I will grant you a place. You demons can also enter and leave this place freely.”
Qiongyue felt that this matter was not that simple.”
Seeing that Qiong Yue had seen through his scheme, the Emperor spoke of his thoughts." The Xiongnu tribe in the north has always been eyeing our Central Plains. I think that when necessary, your Monster Race can help us.”
"Alright, since you're so straightforward. I, Jade Moon, also have a request. We want a piece of land in the Lonely City. There, we yao can enter and exit freely. How is it?"
" Alright," the Emperor agreed." You can discuss the details with City Lord Gu."”
Thinking about how he had the help of the demons, the Xiongnu in the north were naturally no match for him. Now that he had the magic power of the demon race and the four great clans, who would dare to harm him in the future?
"City Lord Gu, don't panic. I don't want your land, I just want a port along the coast of your city.”
Since cooperating with the Monster Race was the Emperor's wish, City Lord Gu could not refuse and agreed to Qiong Yue's request.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Qiong Yue happily returned to her palace.
"Then why is the old emperor looking for you?" Jonu asked Qiongyue.
Qiong Yue sat on the skeleton chair in her palace and said thoughtfully," That incompetent emperor actually asked for our help, begging us to help him attack the invading Xiongnu.”
Slave Zuo asked,"Then, Empress, you agree?"”
Qiongyue smiled." Of course I have to agree." He has already promised me a piece of land. We can enter and leave as we please, together with the humans.”
Qiongyue was thinking about how to make good use of that piece of land. She wanted to take the opportunity to unify the world and let the demons rule the humans.
Seeing that there was no one around, the Divine Lord transformed into his human form and looked at Gu Luoluo's injuries.
He felt her pulse. It was a little weak and he didn't know what to do.
Just as the Divine Lord was fretting over his lonely injuries, he sensed someone passing by. He immediately transformed back into his snake form and hid in Gu Luoluo's clothes.
It turned out that the person who passed by was a fairy from the Nine Heavens. Every year, she would pass by this place to collect the wishes of the people in the Lonely City Temple and then help them fulfill them one by one.
She saw the lonely girl lying by the lake, still unconscious.
She placed her finger on Gu Luoluo's nose to feel her breath. It was very weak.
"Looks like we have to bring her back to the valley. If we don't treat her in time, I'm afraid she will die here.”The fairy brought Gu Luoluo to a deep valley.
The Divine Lord who was hiding in Gu Luoluo's arms suddenly felt his body heat up and could no longer stay there.
It turned out that the fairy had set up a barrier in the valley. Only mortals and immortals could enter, and demons were absolutely not allowed to enter. Any demon who forcefully barged into the valley would be severely injured or burned to death.
The Divine Lord knew that he couldn't enter the valley, so he could only jump out of Gu Luoluo's arms.
"Damn it, there's actually such a place in the human world. They actually set up such a huge immortal miasma that demons can't enter.”The Divine Lord panicked. He didn't know who was in the valley and whether that person would harm Gu Luoluo.
However, his current magic power was simply unable to enter. There was no other way, so he could only wait for Gu Luoluo to come out.
The fairy gently placed Gu Luoluo on a stone bed and fed her a pill.
"This pill can help you regulate your breathing. I believe that with the pure energy that the expert has injected into you, it won't be long before you wake up.”The fairy said to Gu Luoluo.
Not long after, Gu Luoluo woke up.
Seeing that Gu Luoluo had woken up, the fairy hurriedly handed her a glass of water." You're awake. Have a sip of water first."”She helped Gu Luoluo up.
