.................

Can I see you face?

No!

Can I see you face? "

No!

Can I see you face?

I already said no!

Just let me see it Just a peek. If you are ugly, I wont scream. If you look funny, I wont laugh. If you look handsome, I wont drool. I wont tell anyone either, ok?

.

The echo got softer and softer.That figure that was always silently protecting her was finally gone. The strong facade that she had been putting up for so long finally crumbled. She hugged the Nu Wa stone tightly and keeled over on the ground, in a tight heap. She began crying bitterly. However, how could sobs without tears wash away a persons grief?

.....

She forced herself to stand up. She could not let Lu Xiao and Wen Feng Yu and most of all Shuo Feng die in vain. She placed all the other instruments in her Xu Ding and hugged the Nu Wa Stone highly in her bosom.

Before that, she felt that no matter how tough this journey, she would continue on for her Shi Fu. But it wasnt as simple as her suffering. She had forgotten her how hard her life was. No matter who became associated with her, they would be implicated. Her parents, her Shi Fu. Now even Shuo Feng, Lu Xiao and Wen Feng Yu.

Her entire palm was full of sweat. She had an ominous premonition. For one Instrument, 3 people had already died. If all 16 were unsealed and placed together, it would have the strength to destroy the world. Such a heavy burden. How could she carry it. Hence she would have to be fast.

She touched Tang Bao glad to at least have her.

Hua Qian Gu used the Kun Lun Mirror to return to Chang Liu. However, she found that Bai ZI Hua was no longer there. She screed Chang Liu Mountain. However, she was surprised to find that the theft of the instruments had not been discovered. Her Shi Fu had not alerted the rest. She immediately started to search for him, but she could not find him

She had gone through all that trouble to find the Nu Wa stone, but where was her Shi Fu?!

She calmed herself down. Since he woke up, the first thing he must do was to find the instruments, which means he went to find her.

Crap!

Hua Qian Gu finally understood Lan YU Lan Fengs erratic actions and immediately took out the Kun Lun Mirror and returned to Lan Yu Lan Fengs crystal palace.

Lan Yu Lan Feng was not supposed at all at her return and asked her whether she was back to join them or hand over the instruments.

Hua Qian Gu asked icily where her Shi Fu was.

Lan Yu Lan Feng refused to give a straight answer, and before she could blink, Hua Qian Gu had already used the Kun Lun Mirror to teleport herself in front of Lan Yu Lan Feng, placing her sword on her neck.

Lan Yu Lan Feng did not even try to dodge her attack. After Chang Bai Mountain, Shuo Fengs death and her teachers disappearance, she had lost all rationality.

You really care a lot for your Shi Fu, even daring to steal the instruments for him. He doesnt lost to you. He sacrificed himself to save you and even came all the way here to find you despite being fatally poisoned. What a strong bond you have. It makes me so touched. Her tone was mocking, yet it seemed to encompass some pity and helplessness.

Hua Qian Gu demanded to know where her Shi Fu was, her sword leaving a wound on Lan Yu Lan Fengs neck.

Lan Yu Lan Feng said that she only wanted the Instruments and did not want to oppose her and revealed that she only let her have the Xuan Tian Umbrella because Bai Zi Hua was in her hands.

Hua Qian Gu was so furious she could not speak. She did not expect herself to be defeated, twice in Lan Yu Lan Fengs hands.

Lan Yu Lan Feng tried to tempt her, saying that she knew herself if the Instruments were more important or her Shi Fu was more important.

Hua Qian Gu knew that her Shi Fu was more important than anything else. However, everyone else was innocent. If her Shi Fu knew that she had endangered the six realms, he would rather die. She was extremely confused. If she had not been so gullible then, her Shi Fu would not even have been poisoned.

Let me tell you three things. First, I have already asked Kuang Ye Tian to delay the sovereign (Sha Qian Mo), so dont you think of using him to make me hand over Bai Zi Hua. Second, you have very little time, because your Shi Fu cant hold on much longer!

Hua Qian Gus two hands formed into a hand sign and she quickly cast a hypnotic spell. At the same the the Cui Lei Bells sound rang out urgently and clearly.

Lan Yu Lan Feng was pale as she grit her teeth and laughed: Dont waste your energy. I already know that you would do this. Hence, even I dont know where Bai Zi Hua is hidden.

I dont believe you! Hua Qian Gus eyes were both bloodshot as she took two steps back, refusing to give up. Even though her hypnotism skills were not as good as Lan Yu lan Feng, with the effect of the Cui Lei Bell, her powers has increased a few fold.

Lan Yu Lan Feng resisted desperately, and at last her mind was captured and her body keeled over, her fish tail twitching in pain. Her entire eyes and turned blue and she raised her head to give a long tragic howl. It sounded like the most touching song of grief.

Hua Qian Gu then saw her tears fall drop by drop to the ground, turning into a ground pull of pearls. Tears of a mermaid. These were one of the most valuable treasures in the world. How many people had captured and tortured mermaids, but even till death, they refused to shed a single tear. However at this moment, Lan Yu Lan Fengs tears fell like rain, like the shining milky way of the heavens.

Hua Qian Gu had never seen someone shed so many tears under the influence of the Cui Lei Bell. How much pain and misery was hidden in this persons heart.

Her heart softened and she wanted to stop. However, she suddenly thought of her Shi Fu and she told herself that she must not be soft hearted and she could not be beguiled by the tears of this venomous snake. She grit her teeth and continued destroying her psyche.

Where is my Shi Fu?

I. I dont know.

Say it!

Lan Yu Lan Fengs rolled on the floor from the pain in her head.

I really dont know..

Who knows?!

I only told my subordinates to randomly find someone to hide Bai Zi Hua, and not report to me. After that kill that person.

WhatWhat did you say?! Hua Qian Gu was so shocked she took two steps back.

Lan Yu Lan Feng cried and laughed at the same time: Hahaha, I said that unless the sky turns purple and the sea flows towards the sky, then do not bring Bai ZI Hua out forever.

What does that mean? she felt something in her heart snap.

It means that unless the Demon God is born, you will never see your Shi Fu..

Hua Qian Gus eyes widened in rage and she clenched her fist. Lan Yu Lan Feng screamed in agony and she grabbed her head and thrashed around on the floor, her mind lost. At times she scolded loudly at other times she gave a bone chilling laughter.

What kind of sky is this?! What are immortals?! Since you have treated me unfairly, I will mess up your world. Sine you have been unkind to me, I will destroy your immortal realm!

When she finished her scolding, she suddenly curled her body up in pain and started sobbing: If not for me, you would still be the god of war that sits high above the six realms. If not for me you would not become enemies with the entire Immortal Realm. If not for me, you would not be removed of your status as an Immortal and be chased to the Man Huang (Wilderness, an place of exile for Immortals who have committed crimes) At the beginning, I only got close to you to obtain the Instrument of the Gods! You clearly knew that the whole time, I was lying to you! Why then were you so good to me?!! Why?!! Wait for me Wait for me Hand on, I will surely save you.

Lan Yu Lan Fengs painful screams accompanied her tears to pierce through Hua Qian Gus heart.

So she was..

So she had forsaken everything and used every method she could to revive the Demon God, like herself to save someone she loved..

Hua Qian Gu stopped attacking. She raised her head to the sky and gave a piercing howl of grief, her eyes becoming a shocking blood red. She flew out of the crystal palace and broke through the surface of the sea. She looked down at the vast 3000 miles of sea, her heart full of worry.

Since she had limited time, no matter how she tried to hide, she could not hide him too far. Today, ifshe wouldturn the entire Eastern Ocean upside down, she did not believe she could not find where her Shi Fu was hidden!!

She closed her eyes and pushed her hands out forcefully. The sky changed colour and huge waves rose on the sea.

Gu Tou! Dont be like this! Tang Bao shouted desperately in her ear, trying to stop her. However, Hua Qian Gus worry ha already turned to madness. How could she listen to anything.

The depths of the sea started violently trembling, and wave after wave began to form. Hua Qian Gu was using the power of the Fu Chen Pearl (Fu is float, Chen is sink, so it literally means a pearl with the power to control the movement of the sea) and expending large amounts of her energy to search for Bai Zi Hua inch by inch.

The seafloor was thrown into chaos. Those in the dragon palace thought that something had gone wrong with the Ding Hai Shen Zhen (Mystical Sea Stabilising Needle). However, they saw that someone was stirring up the waves. In moments, a large number of prawn soldiers and crab generals appeared. However, they could not go near her.

The Dragon King could not believe that the crazed person who was turning the entire Eastern Sea upside down was the Mount Mao Sect Leader, whom he had seen at the Immortals Banquet, Hua Qian Gu. Now she had the Instruments of the God and almost nobody could stop her. If this continued, he was afraid that his palace would collapsed and immediately sent out word to Chang Liu and the whole immortal realm.

Lan Yu Lan Feng took a long while to regain consciousness. She saw how the entire sea water was foaming and understood what Hua Qian Gu was trying to do. She could not helped to shocked. Idiots, idiots. To think there was someone even sillier than her. But she would absolutely not let any part of her heart soften or pity her. In this world, other than him, nobody bothered to her. Even if they all died, it would not concern her! As for Bai Zi Hua, she would never hand him over. Moreover, now even if she wanted to, it was impossible. Unless the Demon God really was born

And now, she only need to do one thing and the demon god could be born. Lan Yu Lan Feng smiled gleefully. If she had not screed Bai ZI Huas most private memories, she would not have discovered that things were actually so simple. However one part of his memories seemed to have been sealed off by Hua Qian Gu with an extremely powerful seal that could not be broken. No matter how she tried, it was useless. So she could only give up. But she was extremely curious what it was that Hua Qian Gu required to use so much of her powers to protect and to hide.

When Lan Yu lan Feng flew up to the surface of the sea, the sun had already setting. The evening sky was blood red, setting off the Hua Qian Gus blood red pupils. All around the sea were crowds. Almost all were immortals who had rushed here to try to stop her. She used the Fu Chen Pearl to search for Bai Zi Hua in the sea and used the Fu Xi Zither and Pan Gu Axe to keep the heavenly soldiers at bay. The fact that she gathered all 16 instruments had been completely exposed. The entire immortal realm had rushed down, knowing that the calamity was at hand. Yet, nobody could capture her. Hua Qian Gu had long lost all rationality, and only cared about looking for Bai Zi Hua. If this went on, Shi Fu were disintegrate.

Shi Zun and Ru Zun had both arrived and saw Hua Qian Gus crazed state. Yet, they did not know what had gone wrong.

Have you found Zun Shang?

I have searched everywhere but I cannot find him. Luo Shi Yi shook his head. He was worried about both Hua Qian Gu and Tang Bao.

Ni Man Tian was both shocked and secretly happy. She knew that Hua Qian Gu was finished.

Qing Shui kept shouting at Hua Qian Gu, but no matter what they said, Hua Qian Gu could not listen.

Zi Huas instruments are all in her hands, unless..

No. Sheng Xiao Mo interrupted him. No matter what is the reason, Qian Gu will not do anything to Shi Xiong. Maybe its his poison.

I knew that taking this girl into Chang Liu the biggest mistake ever! What blind ambition. After becoming the head disciple, she tries to steal the Instruments of the Gods. Now she has kill Wen Feng YU and gathered all 16 instruments. It looks like the birth of the Demon God cannot be prevented.

Sheng Xiao Mo looked at him sternly, unlike his usually heck care self: Shi Xiong, you are jumping to conclusions. There is no proof that Wen Feng Yu was killed by Qian Gu. All these years, we saw her grow up. We both know what kind of person she is.

Hmph. I dont know. I only know that she is a jinx. If the person was not killed by her, how can the Dong Huang Bell be in her hands? If not to release the Demon God, why would she need to gather the Instruments of the Gods? At the Immortal Swords Meet, she wanted to kill a fellow disciple. Such a disciple should have long been chased out of the sect. To think that you and Zi Hua have been protecting her.

So you knew.

Do you think anything can escape my eyes? Its justthat disciplining the disciple is the business of the Shi Fu and I dont want to spoil my relationship with Zi Hua for the sake of a small Hua Qian Gu. Lets see what he has to say! Goddamnit. Where did he run off to? Mo Yan knitted his eye brows tightly together and glared at Hua Qian Gu. and cursed under his breath. Sheng Xiao Mo knew that he was just worried about Bai Zi Hua.

Even since he knew that Bai Zi Hua had been poisoned by the poison from the Shen Nong Cauldron, even though he appeared not to care, he had been finding ways and means and was already worried sick.

Sheng Xiao Mo gave a low sigh. He saw Hua Qian Gu turning the Eastern Sea upside down, yet he did not know what she was looking for.

All the immortals were worried and anxious as they knew that the Demon God was about to be born, calamity was about to arrive and the six realms descend into chaos. Yet they could only look and not do anything.

There were more and morepeople gathered looking on at Hua Qian Gu. The demons however were all extremely excited. The moment they had waited for for thousands of years was about to arrive.

Slowly nightfall arrived, and the moon slowly climbed up from the sea.

Suddenly they heard Hua Qian Gu give a shout of joy: I found it! As she said that she immediately used the Kun Lun mirror and disappeared without a trace.

The seafloor was not pitch black. Instead looking at the seas surface from the seafloor was like looking at the sky from the earth. Blue and boundless, mysterious and high. And those luminous seven coloured fish were like scattered stars.

The undercurrents were still strong from the Fu Chen Pearl. However, Hua Qian Gu began to use it again despite being exhausted.

She quickly moved on the sea floor, trying hard to feel that nearing warmth among the ripples.

Her heart strings were taut, as though as they were going to snap any moment. She sawn into a small cave hidden by sea grass. Water had been kept out of the cave. The interior of the cave was simple, with luminous pearls flowing on the walls. However, a larger halo was emanating out of a huge shell.

Her heart was at her throat as she watched the shell lightly open and close, the light pulsing.

Shi Fu Hua Qian Gu rushed beside the shell and peered in, her knees giving way. She was so agitated, her lips trembled and she could not speak.

Bai Zi Hua was lying quietly in the shell, his eyes closed. His face was as pale as snow and thin layer of frost has formed on his eyelashes, his expression as frigid as ever. He was like an ice statute, without any sign of life.

It was only a few days of separation, but it seemed like tens of thousands of years.

As she looked at his face, she suddenly felt clam. As long as Shi Fu was around, as long as he was well, she was not afraid of anything.

Shi Fu.. she called out softly again, as though she wanted to wake him, yet she was afraid of disturbing him.

However, she did not have much time

Hua Qian Gu looked around her. The sea was in chaos and the little demons were all trying to escape. there was clearly nobody guarding this place. However the immortals and demons from everywhere were all outside and they would quickly find this place.

She knew that once her Shi Fu woke up, according to Chang Lius rules, even if what awaited her was not a punishment that would disintegrate her soul, it would be hard to escape death. She was not afraid of such punishment, yet she could not bear to experience his fury again. She only wanted to just stay beside him and look at his sleeping face, forever and forever..

Gu Tou, hurry up. Someone is going to find us soon. Tang Bao hurried her.

Hua Qian Gu lowered her head and squeezed Bai Zi Huas cold hand tightly, recalling the simple happiness as they held hands and walked through the snow and could not help but feel her heart ache. Even though she knew that she could not tear no matter how sad, she still tipped her head back and closed her eyes. She took out the Nu Wa Stone and pressed it against her cheek and softly whispered: Shuo Feng..

The Nu Wa Stone gave out a brilliant light that shot through the surface of the sea, causing panic among the masses who were above the sea.

Bai Zi Huas body slowly rose and stopped midair. Bits of silver light began to gather. As his immortal body had not been destroyed the poison was quickly neutralised and his strength quickly recovered.

Shi Fu.. Hua Qian Gu ectastically hugged him as he slowly descended and desperately transferred her internal energy to him despite her weak state.

Seeing that Bai Zi Huas poison was finally neutralized and everything was slowly returning to normal and he might wake up in a moment, Hua Qian Gu happily squeezed his hand.

Tang Bao, how about Shuo Feng? is there anyway to save him? Even though he is part of the Nu Wa Stone, he already has his independent mindset, is there really no way to take him out of the Stone?

Tang Bao was about to shake her head when she suddenly heard a voice from outside the cave, Yes.

Lan Yu Lan Feng swam in from outside the cave, her eyes sparking with a strange excitement.

Hua Qian Gu alertly stood up and took out the Xuan Yuan Sword.

You are very fast.

Of course. After all this is my lair. I naturally can find it faster than other people. However the others are arriving soon. You better escape with the Kun Lun Mirror in your hand.

I wont escape, I will wait for my Shi Fu to wake up before I personally accept punishment from him.

Accept punishment? Do you think just because you stole the Instruments of the Gods to cure him of his poison, he was feel guilty or is heart will soften and he will not punish you?

I dont understand what you are saying? Whose poison did I cure? I became a Chang Liu disciple under the orders of the Sovereign of the Demon and Monster realms (Sha Qian Mo). From the beginning I had planned to steal the instruments and release the Demon God. Hua Qian Gu looked at her coldly.

Lan Yu Lan Feng was shocked and did not speak for a long time. Then, she laughed maniacally.

So from the beginning, you had already decided not to tell him the truth. Are you silly? Do you think he can live in ease this wat?

Hua Qian Gu looked at Bai ZI Hua: This is my own business. You dont need to care.

Then she took out the Xuan Tian Umbrella and threw it to her: This is the umbrella that I borrowed earlier. I will trouble you to help mereturn it to your sovereign and help me thank him.

Lan Yu Lan Feng gave an inward sigh. There were so many people in the immortal realm. No wonder their sovereign liked her so much. Even though she felt a bit guilty, for him, she could not care so much.

Didnt you want to save that who?

Hua Qian Gus body shook: So what? she had told herself over and over again that this woman was too crafty and could not be trusted. But ever since she began speaking, her heart could not help but burn with hope.

I really did not expect a fragment of the Nu Wa stone to assume a human form. Did you how the Nu Wa stone was shattered?

.. Did you forgot how the Nu Wa Stone was shattered?

Shuo Fengs wisp of a voice echoed beside her ear once again. Why do they all ask this question? How would she know how it shattered. The Book of the Six Realms did not record this. All the ancient books only briefly mentioned things of the ancient past.

If you dont know its ok. Lan Yu Lan Feng lowered her heard and smiled, euphoric. She really did not know anything.

Actually to separately him from the Nu Wa Stone, all it requries is a drop of your blood.

Hua Qian Gu felt a joy arose in her heart. Tang Bao quickly reminded her: There is no such thing. GU Tou, dont believe her.

Hua Qian Gu knitted her brows tightly, a storm raging inside her.

Lan Yu Lan Feng looked at her fingers, and said casually: You dont have much time to consider. They are arriving soon. Then, all the instruments will be taken away and you will not be able to save that person.

Hua QIan Gu was so nervous, her foreheard was covered in sweat. Even though she did not know why her own blood save him and why Shuo Feng had not told her if it was so easy and this must be a trick, she knew her blood did have a lot of uses. If she did not try, she would feel indignant for the rest of her life and never forgive herself.

No. Time was running out. She could not hesitate anymore. Shuo Feng had died for her. She must think of a way to save him!

Gu Tou! Tang Bao felt a huge wave of terror as she looked at Lan Yu Lan Fengs strange and excited expression.

However, Hua Qian Gu had already dripped her blood on the Nu Wa Stone.

Suddenly, the surrounding started shaking violently as though the sky was going to collaspe and the earth crumble. Hua Qian Gu could feel the Instruments emitting a loud clanging in her Xu Ding.

Amidst her brain splitting heading, she took out the instruments. In that instant, all 16 instruments shot up towards the sky.

Crap! hua Qian Gu did not know what had happened. She only knew something was very wrong.

She only saw Lan Yu Lan Feng roaring with laughter. She cried and laughed at the same time. It was so strange it was terrifying.

A hundred years. I waited for a hundred years! Hahahaha!

Whats happening? Hua Qian Gu began to panic and carried Bai Zi Hua and flew out of the collapsing cave. The sea water around them was extremely choppy and she could not see anything. The sea floor was experiencing a violent earthquake. Lava was slowly seeping out and the entire Eastern Sea was in total chaos.

Whats happening? Hua Qian Gu grabbed Lan Yu Lan Feng, but saw her looking manically at her through her bloodshot eyes.

The Demon God is born! The Demon God is born! Hahahah! To think that the last seal which would take a few days to be broken, only needed a drop of your blood to be broken!! Hahahahah! This is great! This is great! The world is finally ours!

HUa Qian Gu felt her heard buzz loudly before becoming a blank. What did you say?! Impossible? How can it be! I merely wanted to save Shuo Feng! You are lying to me! you are lying to me! You are lying to me again!!

Lan Yu lan Feng looked at her and laughed: Lying? I am grateful to you. The Shuo Feng you are speaking about had already ceased to exist and can never be recovered! You blood is merely used to break the last seal on the Instruments. Once the seal is broken, the Demon God will be born. There is nothing to stop it in this world!

Hua Qian Gu shook her head hard: No, No, its only a drop of blood, its only a drop of blood. How can it..

You still dont know your own identity? Actually, to think of it its only natural. In this world, the only person who knows is Bai Zi Hua. If I did not scry his memories while he was unconscious, I would not know..

What are you trying to say? Hua Qian Gu head was in extreme pain.

Lan Yu Lan Feng brought her face close, smiled and whispered: The Demon God was sealed by you and the other Gods. The Nu Wa Stone was broken because of you and mixed with you blood to fix and nourish the land. Hua Qian Gu, you are the last god in this world.

Hua Qian Gu felt her body crumble and sink downwards, however the weight of Bai Zi Huas body in her hands told her that she must hang on. All these was false. She liked to lie! Dont listen! Everything she said was false.

Tang Bao was also shocked stiff. At this moment, all 16 Instruments appeared in the Sky above the sea. The black night sky and turned to a demonic dark purple. The sea water was flowing towards the sky, towards the 16 instruments, forming a giant spirally tower of water between the sky and the sea, like a tornado that had sucked in all the surrounding air and water.r

The demons and monsters everywhere could feeling the awakening of the Demon God and were chasing chaos everywhere. All around there were natural disastaers, earthquakes. The casualties were innumerable. This was only the prelude.

In the sky above Eastern Sea, it was utter chaos. The immortals were in utter panic and helplessness while the demons and monsters were euphoric. Mo Yan and the others could not help but sigh. It was still too late.

At this moment, Sha Qian Mo and Chun Qiu Bu Bai had led their armies over. The Immortals and the Demons were in confrontation. One wrong move could spark off the fight. It looks like a fight was inevitable.

Hua Qian Gu did not know whether to blame herself for stupid stupid or useless. To think she was being lied to again and again. She wanted to kill her but she was already spent.

Do you know why your blood had so many uses? Do you know why the Instruments can never be separated from you and were gathered by you? I was always very curious how you and a fatally poisoned Bai Zi Hua could escape from the Shen Nong Cauldron without being burnt by the Zhen fire..

Hua Qian Gus ears were ringing. So Shi Fu had long known and yet did not say anything. Maybe whether she was human or god did not matter to him? She was always causing misfortune and now had even let the Demon God out. Ifshe really was a god, she really was the god of misfortune!

Hua Qian Gu wanted to laugh, but could not laugh. She could not imagine what the battle between the ancients must have been like to eliminate the entire race of the Gods and leave her all alone. She was lone wandering wisp of a God who had wondered for thousands of years. Finally, she had fathered enough energy to be reincarnated into the human world.

However, her reappearance only represented another calamity. And this time, who had the power to seal the Demon God again?

Hua Qian Gu hugged Bai Zi Hua, buried her head into his chest and began sobbing. She could could feel his slight movements. The surge of demonic energy from the Demon God had alerted him. He was about to wake up.

Gu Tou, dont worry. There will be a way! Tang Bao was afraid she would do something silly and quickly comforted her. This is not your fault. You did not know anything. You only wanted to save Zun Shang and Shuo Feng. The birth of the Demon God is inevitable. It is not your fault! Dont blame yourself! Since it can be sealed once, it can be sealed again!

Hua Qian Gu looked at Bai Zi Hua blearily, and gave a light laugh: Shi Fu always says, a wrong is a wrong, no matter the reason. Even though my power is limited. I will try my utmost to salvage the situation. Shi Fu, please forgive Xiao Gu!

Hua Qian Gu carried Bai Zi Hua and flew up. Suddenly, she felt a familiar presence./

Zi Hua? A lot of people were looking for Hua Qian Gu. Zi Xun Qian Xia relied on the Jin Si (Golden Thread) Fish who had an acute sense of smell to search for Hua Qian Gus strong scent. However,s he did not Bai ZI Hua to be here as well.

Zi Hua, whats wrong with him?

Hua Qian Gu looked up and saw the shock and worry on Zi Xun Qian Xias face and tired hard to smile as she shook her heard: Shi Fu was poisoned by the poison of the Shen Nong Cauldron made by Lan Yu Lan Feng. Luckily, Zi Xun Jie Jie stole the antidote that Lan Yu Lan Feng had brewed with the poison and cured Shi Fus poison. Xiao Gu then completed the mission the Sovereign had given her and collected the 16 Instruments of the Gods. Now the Demon God is about to be born.

Zi Xun shook her head, her face full of shock: Xiao Gu, what are you taking about? Why cant I understand anything?

Hua Qian Gu then push the unconscious Bai Zi Hua to her.

Take good care of my Shi Fu. If he asks, just answer him according to what I just told you. You understand what I mean.

But. Zi Xun Qian Xia pulled her back, Where are you going?

I will go and salvage the mistake I made. Zi Xun Jie Jie, take it that I am begging you. You must tell this to Shi Fu.

Hua Qian Gus eyes shone with a sense of trust and reliance she could not bear to reject.

Tang Bao, you stay here as well. Hua Qian Gu grabbed Tang Bao from her ear and placed it on Zi Xun Qian Xias shoulder.

I dont want! I dont want! I want to go with you! Tang Bao knew what she was thinking. She cried, kicked, scratched and bit while hugging on to her finger.

Hua Qian Gu hypnotised it and it immediately fainted.

Qian Gu! Zi Xun Qian Xia felt terrified. Hua Qian Gus gaze was completely at odds with her young appearance.

Hua Qian Gu gave a comforting smile even though her body was in so much pain she was about to curl up into a bundle. She squeezed Bai Zi Huas tightly. How could she bear to let go. However, in the end, she steeled herself and turned around to break through the surface of the sea.

She would pay for her own mistakes even if it meant death.

Luo Shi Yi, Sha Qian Mo and the others watched Hua Qian Gu fly out from the ocean. Nobody knew what had happened on the seabed or how the Demon God was born.

Hua Qian Gu looked at the purple sky. The demonic,evil, pungent, toxic and corrupt energy from every direction was being gathered in the giant vacuum created by the 16 Instruments. The waves roared and lightning crackled int he air.

Arrest that abomination! Mo Yan glared at Hua Qian Gu and shouted. After so long, the Demon God was still being released. Was this fate? All the immortals were in distress without a leader. As they were about to rush forward, the demon generals stopped all of them with a wave of Sha Qian Mos hand.

Qian Gu! Xiao Bu Dian!.

Hua Qian Gu did not know how many voices were calling her. She slowly surveyed her surroundings and saw familiar faces and a sea of chaos. Then she flew into the black hole like beam of light.

The depths of the sea, Bai Zi Hua was still peacefully floating, his robe freely waving with the current. There was a halo of war light around him, as though he was lying in a giant crystal casket. Zi Xun Qian Xia looked afterhim, her gaze full of sorrow.

She continually transferred internal energy to him, hoping that he would quickly wake up. This was the only thing she could do now.

The more she thought, the more pathetic she found herself. Qian Gu was only a child, yet she could sacrifice so much for Zi Hua. What else had she done all these years, other than wallowing in self-pity?

She and Hua Qian Gu both loved Bai Zi Hua, but the moment she loved him, her heart could not contain anything else. The Immortal Realm, the world, nothing else mattered to her anymore. What had the birth of the Demon God have to do with her? What had the destruction of the Six Realms have to do with her? However, Qian Gu loved Bai Zi Hua, and also loved the world that he loved. She cared about him, so she cared about everything he cared about.

She had been blinded by her love and struggling in pain. However, Hua Qian Gu had never asked for any repayment and only wished him well. Compared to her, she had lived in vain all these years. Zi Xun Qian Xia realised she was only a child that did not understand what love was.

She looked on sappily at Bai Zi Hua. Actually, she wished that he would never wake up so she could look on at him like this forever. Why could Qian Gu love him so silently and selflessly, whileher own love was so selfish?

Bai Zi Hua finally woke up. Zi Xun Qian Xia quickly wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Gu! He opened his eyes and sat up. Yet the one he saw was Zi Xun Qian Xia whom he had not seen in many years.

Zi Xun Qian Xia looked at him, her lips trembling so hard she could not speak.

Zi Xun? Why are you here.. he felt like he had been in deep sleep for a long time andhad forgotten many things.

Zi Xun Qian Xia looked at Bai Zi Huas cold and expressionless face and tried very hard to smile. She had fantasised countless times about about brilliantly she would smile before him. However at this moment, she simply could not smile.

Did he know how much she had gone through all these years because of him. How much that child went through because of him.. That child, was sillier than her.

What happened? My poison.. Bai Zi Hua exercised his internal energy and wondrously found that the poison had been completely neutralised. How could this be?

Where is Xiao Gu? Where are the Instruments? His ominous premonitions were increasing and his chest tightened.

Its too late.. Zi Xun Qian Xia shook her head lightly.

What what is too late? Bai Zi Hua knitted his eyebrow together and screed the surface of the sea.. The sky was a demonic purple and both the sun and the moon hung palely on the sky. The seals on the 16 Instruments had been released and the power to shake the heavens and earth was being gathered and realised in the air. The waves surged and the clouds billowed. There were huge crowds gathered on the surface of the sea, helplessly observing.

Bai Zi Hua was shocked: Xiao Gu realised the seals? He asked each word slowly. In the six realms, probably only she had the ability.

Zi Xun Qian Xia still could not read Bai Zi Huas emotions. Even at such a time, he was still calm.

Yes. She said through clenched teeth.

Why is my poison neutralised?

You were poisoned by the lethal poison in Lan Yu Lan Fengs Sheng Nong Cauldron. Luckily she had brewed an antidote. Xiao Gu came to find me and begged me to save you. Hence, we joined forces to obtain the antidote from Lan Yu Lan Feng. Thats how we neutralised your poison. Zi Xun Qian Xia still followed what Hua Qian Gu had instructed her to say, only because they both knew too well what kind of person Bai Zi Hua was.

Bai Zi Huas cold pupils seemed bottomless to Zi Xun Qian Xia and she did not know whether he believed her.

Why did she steal the Instruments of the Gods and release the Demon God? When he found out Xiao Gu was a God, he did not reveal this to anyone. He was afraid that if the demons and monsters knew, they would use her to release the seal and he was even more afraid that when his Shi Xiong knew, he would kill her. What he did not expect is that they would still reach this step in the end.

It was all for you! Zi Xun Qian Xia really wanted to tell him that, but she could not bear to in the end: She was a spy that Shao Qian Mo ordered to infiltrate your sect many years ago. Her aim was to find a chance to steal the Instruments.

Bai Zi Hua swept his sleeves and turned around: A pack of lies! When I took Xiao Gu as my disciple, do you think I wasnt clear about her background? She and Sha Qian Mo only knew each other afterwards!

So you know.

Of course I know. Bai ZI Huas gaze suddenly became as sharp as ice. How could he know these small secrets of Hua Qian Gu. Like how she would go out and meet Sha Qian Mo or often exchange letters with Dong Fang Yu Qing. Even though they were not from orthodox sects, they were not extremely evil people. If Xiao Gu had such affinity with them, as her Shi Fu, there was no need for him to interfere.

You are really lenient towards her. Zi Xun Qian Xia sighed lightly, Even ignoring Chang Liu sect rules. Perhaps, they planned this slowly afterwards. Our sovereign really likes her. I think you should know this

Enough! Bai Zi Hua shouted coldly. What did she want to say? That Xiao Gu and Sha Qian Mo were having an affair?

Where is Xiao Gu now? he seemed to have heard her voice in his bleary state.

He could not care so much anymore. He only wanted to ask her clealry. Unless she admitted it herself, she would not believe anything anybody else said. However why was it that even with his fully restored powers, he couldnt find her? Where had she gone?

Zi Xun Qian Xia looked down and did not say anything, only stretching out her hand to pass him the unconscious Tang Bao. Bai Zi Hua felt a sudden shock on seeing Tang Bao as he knew Xiao Gu brought it everywhere.

Where.. is she?

Probably went into hiding because she was afraid you would punish her. ZI Xun Qian Xia turned around because she did not want him to see her emotional struggle being displayed on her face.

Bai Zi Hua prepared to leave and looked at her and softly said: Thank you.

Zi Xun Qian Xia felt such heartache that her tears almost fell.

Dont thank me. dont thank me. Its not me, its not..

Will you go back with me? Bai Zi Hua suddenly asked.

Zi Xun Qian Xia bitterly shook her head: There is no going back. There is no going back forever.. she was now even worse than a demon or monster.

Bai Zi Hua turned around to glance at her. Like a century ago, there wasnt a single shred of warmth.

Zi Xun Qian Xia looked at his back as he flew towards the surface of the sea, leaving her further and further behind. She muttered: Maybe if you had looked for me a hundred years ago, maybe if you had said those words to me then. But in the end, you dont even know why I became a fallen immortal, and you do not want to know. To you, I am not even as important as as any Chang Liu disciple. At least towards them, you have a sense of responsibility. Towards me, I am a mere passerby. Do you know that you who seem to care for all living things, is actually the most cruel immortal. Do you know that only when it concerns Hua Qian Gu, you will have slightly different emotions. If she knew that she was just this little bit different in your heart, she would died contented..

Sha Qian Mo had tried countless times to enter the black hole to rescue Hua Qian Gu, but he was being repelled by a massive force. He could not figure out how she had entered.

The Instruments had been in the sky for an entire day. Everyone fromt he Immortal and Demon realms had gahered. Dong Fang had arrived, alone as usual. At last even Xuan Yuan Lang had arrived with over a thousand elite soldiers. To think that the human emperor had not only mastered immortal craft, but had specially trained an army of soldiers who were well learned in magic. They were well trained and intimidating. Even the demon and heavenly soldiers were afraid.

The Immortal Realm, the Demon and Monster Realms and the Human Realms each taking a corner around the vicinity of the Instruments. Each harboured their own thoughts but could not make any moves. All the attention had been concentrated on when the Demon God would be born.

The Demons and Monsters were of course eagerly waiting, while the Human and Immortal realm were getting more and more anxious as time passed. At this crucial moment, Bai ZI Hua was nowhere to be found. Hence the immortals could only look to Mo Yan to make a decisive decision. While the Demon God had yet to take form and completely awaken, there may be a shred of hope now. If they waited until he was fully formed, then the world would really end.

Shi Xiong? Sheng Xiao Mo looked at him. Mo Yans brows were still creased lightly tougher. Together with the scar on his face, it was even more frightening.

I sensed Zi Huas presence. Wait awhile more.

Is Second Shi Xiong fine? Sheng Xiao Mo asked happily. Suddenly he felt the tension reduce by half.

Xuan Yuan Lang and Dong Fang YU Qing were both shocked when they knew Hu Qian Gu had entered the black hole. However, while Xuan Yuan Lang was unclear about what happened and only knew he had to stop the Demon God from being born, Dong Fang Yu Qing knew everything. He probably realised that Bai Zi Huas poison had been cured and Shuo Feng was dead.

Now that the Demon God had been born because of Gu Tou, she must feel extremely guilty. She wanted to use her own strength to reseal the demon god or perhaps perish with it.

Dong Fang Yu Qing gave a long sigh and looked at the sky. He hated his own idenity and hated that he knew so much, yet he could only be a helpless bystander. Yet, he still held on to a tiny glimmer of hope. Gu Tou had never disappointed him. He believed that it would be the same this time!

At this moment, a figure whiter than snow flew out from the sea and ascended into the sky. The wanves followed behind him, forming a thin silver pillar in the sky. Bai Zi Hua stood on the pillar of water, and looked on at the crows. His robes fluttered in the air. His serious expression made him seemed all the more lofty and unapproachable. His black hair was like a waterfall, continually caressing his beautiful otherworldly face with each gust of wind. His pupils were like frozen stars, icily sweeping across the masses. The demons and monsters could not help but fear while the immortals could not help but submit.

Zun Shang

Everyone cheered. The terror and despondence seemed to have been swept away. The white robed him was like a light that had brightened the demonic purple sky.

Shi Di, your poison? Mo Yan, passed the message to him secretly.

Its been cured.

Bai Zi Hua looked at the black hole, and said: Even though the seal has been broken and the Demon God is about to be born, the Demon God has yet to take form. Carrying such immense power, it will take at least 21 days for it to fully take form. If we join forces, even if we cant destroy the black hole, we can greatly harm him and delay the date of his birth.

Bai Zi Huas voice was not loud, yet it could be clearly heard in every corner and voices agreeing could be heard below. The Demons and Monsters were starting to panic

All Immortals, listen to my command. Qing Tian Fei Zhen Huo (Qing Tian, means flying up to the sky, Fei means fly, Zhen Huo means true fire, so i assume its a formation with a rising pillar of fire?), Ba Gua Han Feng Lei ( Eight Triagram Wind and Thunder Formation), at the north, south, east and west, set up four Fen Xing Po Ri Formations (Star Incinerating Sun Breaking Formation).

In an instance, swords flashed and flew in all directions. The Demons and Monsters were thrown into panic. They packed into a small circle and encircled the 16 Instruments tightly behind them while they turned to face the immortals with weapons in their hands.

Xuan Yuan Lang immediately turned pale. He knew that Bai Zi Hua was going to use force. Even if the black hole did not collaspe, it would hurt the growing body of the Demon God. This was the only method. But Hua Qian Gu was inside! What should he do! He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He still waved his hand to protect the Instruments.

The human soldiers immediately joined ranks with the Demons and Monsters and surrounded the Instruments tightly.

Mo Yan unhappily asked: Majesty Xuan Yuan, why are you doing this? Unless you came here to help the Demon God be born? You should know if the Demon God runs rampant, the first to suffer is the human realm!

The soldiers looked at Xuan Yuan Lang puzzledly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xuan Yuan Langs heart was in a mess. He looked worriedly at Bai ZI Hua: Zun Shang, Qian Gu is still inside!

Bai Zi Huas faced changed slightly and he looked at Sheng Xiao Mo and Mo Yan. Mo Yan coldly snorted while Sheng Xiao Mo creased his eyebrows and lightly nodded.

Bai Zi Hua coldly answered before he considering anything: So what. Wasnt the Demon God released by him? Even if she dies a thousand or ten thousands times, it will not make up for her sins. with that he waved his ar.

You dare! Sha Qian Mos eyes were glaringly red and savage. He blocked Bai Zi Hua and drew his sword, his murderous intent at the maximum. His wild hair continually caressed his spectacular visage. Everyone present could not help but be distracted.

Bai Zi Hua thought of what Zi Xun Qian Xia had said earlier and thought of how he had seen Hua Qian Gu act intimately with him. Even though he did not believe it, he did not know why he felt angry.

See if I dare. Bai Zi Hua coldly answered. The Heng Shuang Sword was unsheathed. Both of them would clash with the tiniest spark.
