Chapter 228 Death
But she couldn't move.

Her spiritual power was sealed and her body was no different from that of an ordinary person.

His heart was pierced and bleeding profusely, and he was beyond help.

The chain was stained with her blood, and the runes that were slowly flowing on its surface suddenly stopped and then became dim.

The shadow noticed that the seal on him was disappearing and was overjoyed.

It couldn't wait to stand up, and the originally unbreakable chain broke inch by inch.

Yang Rongrong sank to the bottom of the lake, lying on her back on the cold and wet rocks. She could no longer move at all, only the hem of her skirt was still swaying slightly with the water flow.

The black sword pierced her heart and nailed her to the bottom of the lake.

She watched the shadow break free from its restraints and the gray-robed man walk away, but she could do nothing.

Is she really going to die?
The scene in front of me was foggy, like a dream, so unreal.

Darkness overtook her, and her consciousness became increasingly fading.

In a trance, she felt something in her arms getting hot.

She wanted to see what it was, but her eyelids were too heavy, as if weighed down by a thousand pounds, and she closed her eyes uncontrollably.

……

Hengye spread his wings and flew away from the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, rushing to the Unknown Mountain at the fastest speed.

Because his injuries had not yet healed, his face was very pale and he staggered when he landed.

The cat-eared demon cultivator who followed closely behind hurried forward to support him, and said with concern: "Your Highness, your injury..."

"I'm fine." Hengye pushed his hand away and strode towards the direction of Blue Crystal Lake.

He was very fast and reached the lake in a blink of an eye. His already loose clothes were blown open even further by the wind, revealing the golden animal patterns on his shoulders and neck, as well as the layers of gauze wrapped around his chest.

Because I ran too fast just now, the wound was affected, and a trickle of bright red blood oozed out, staining the gauze red.

Luo Luo, Liu Lang and the little yellow chicken were waiting by the lake. They were all surprised to see Heng Ye suddenly appear.

Soon Luo Luo noticed the golden animal pattern on Heng Ye’s chest and was stunned.

Hengye didn't notice anything unusual about Luo Luo. He glanced over and didn't see Yang Rongrong, so he asked hurriedly.

"Where's Zhuzhu?"

Liu Lang thought Heng Ye was here for revenge, his chubby face wrinkled, his eyes alert: "Why are you looking for my mother?"

Hengye was stunned. When did Zhuzhu have such a big son?
But he soon realized that now was not the time to pursue these things, the most important thing at the moment was Zhuzhu's safety.

He said quickly: "There is a ferocious beast sealed in the lake. It is very dangerous. You should find the pearls and leave here quickly!"

Seeing that he looked anxious and didn't seem to be pretending, and that there was no need for him to tell such a lie, Luo Luo couldn't help but become serious and said in a deep voice: "The boss has been in the lake for some time."

As soon as these words came out, Hengye's face changed immediately.

He looked at the sparkling lake. The lake was peaceful and serene, looking gentle and harmless.

Luo Luo asked: "What kind of beast is sealed in the lake?"

Before Hengye could speak, someone gave the answer first.

"It's Taowu."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dozen demon cultivators flying quickly from a distance. In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of them.

The leader was wearing a white robe with wide sleeves, with black feathers embroidered on the cuffs and hem. His long black hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin, and two strands of white hair fell naturally in front of his forehead. He had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a graceful demeanor, looking very elegant and dignified.

He landed gracefully, raised his hands to his chest, bowed slightly, and saluted respectfully towards Hengye.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Demon King."

The demon cultivators following behind him also saluted. Heng Ye glanced at them, and finally his eyes fell on the leader. He frowned and asked, "Elder He, why are you here?"

The leader was none other than He Bieqing, the leader of the four great elders of the demon clan.

He Bieqing explained in a gentle voice: "We heard that Your Highness was seriously injured. We were concerned about Your Highness's safety, so we rushed to the Ten Thousand Demons Palace to visit you. When we got there, we were told that you came to the Blue Crystal Lake, so we followed you here."

A demon cultivator following behind him couldn't help but say, "We heard that a human cultivator injured His Highness. Where is that woman? We must kill her to avenge His Highness!"

Hengye's face darkened, his golden pupils shrank into vertical lines, his eyes fierce: "Don't talk nonsense! I was accidentally injured during training, it has nothing to do with others!"

The demon cultivator wanted to say more, but was frightened by the fierce look in Heng Ye's eyes. He closed his mouth in dismay and dared not say another word.

He Bieqing not only has a high level of cultivation, but is also knowledgeable and erudite. He has dabbled in everything from elixir formations to talisman refining.

At this moment, he could tell at a glance that Heng Ye was injured by the sword, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he advised him gently.

"Your injuries have not healed yet, why don't you let me treat you a little."

Hengye refused directly: "No need, I have other things to do now, you guys go back first."

He Bieqing glanced at the lake and said, "Your Highness, are you going to look for Miss Zhuzhu?"

Hengye avoided answering: "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Before coming here, He Bieqing had already heard the news of Miss Zhuzhu's return. He also happened to overhear the conversation between Hengye and Luo Luo just now. How could he not understand Hengye's thoughts?

He advised sincerely: "The previous king paid a huge price to seal Taowu at the bottom of the lake. Before his death, the previous king also told us not to go near the Blue Crystal Lake again. I'm sure Your Highness has not forgotten these things."

Hengye was anxious and worried about Zhuzhu's safety.

At this moment, he didn't want to waste time on He Bieqing, so he said directly: "I know what's going on, don't worry about it."

After saying that, he leaped forward, transformed into a beast, and jumped into the lake.

The demon cultivators exclaimed in surprise and shouted "Your Majesty the Demon King!"

He Bieqing's expression also changed. He walked forward quickly, but had to stop when he reached the lake.

The demon cultivators spoke anxiously and talked at once.

"Elder He, what should we do?"

"Is His Majesty the Demon King okay?"

"Should we follow and protect him?"

He Bieqing raised his right hand, and the demon cultivators shut up obediently.

They heard He Bieqing say calmly.

"Don't worry, wait a moment."

The demon cultivators didn’t understand what Elder He was waiting for?
But soon they knew the answer.

The ripples on the lake surface were pushed away layer by layer, and with a splash, Hengye floated to the surface.

He spread his wings and flew back to the shore, shaking his body vigorously to shake off a lot of water droplets.

Luo Luo was the first to ask, "How was it in the lake? Did you find our boss?"

Hengye was in animal form at this time, with his face covered with thick golden hair. Logically he should not be able to make any expression, but Luo Luo could see an anxious look on his face.

He said in a deep voice: "There is a formation in the lake. I am isolated by the formation and cannot get close to the bottom of the lake. Zhuzhu is nowhere to be seen. She should be trapped at the bottom of the lake by the formation."

Luo Luo, Liu Lang and the little yellow chicken suddenly became anxious.

At this time He Bieqing was very calm, he had expected such an outcome, that's why he didn't let the demon cultivators get involved. As long as they waited for a while, the demon king would realize the difficulty and retreat.

He took the initiative to explain: "It should be a formation set up by the previous king to prevent outsiders from entering the lake and being injured by ferocious beasts."
