Forbidden City

Chapter 257
Dongfangyue sat across from me, the seductive look on her face completely disappeared, but she looked at me with a serious face, and said: "I want you to help me?"

"Can I help you?" I was very surprised, did Dongfang Yue have a fever?Seeing her serious expression, I think she must have something to tell me.

I took the elixir in her hand, but did not take it, and said, "What is your purpose, or how can I help you?"

"I want you to save our Demon Realm, and I believe that you can do it." Dongfang Yue said mysteriously, looking at me seriously.

"Hehe..." I smiled softly, trying my best to hide the tension in my heart, since Dongfangyue can tell me that I can save the Demon Realm, then she must know something.

I said calmly: "Why do you believe me? Why should I trust you? Don't forget that we are enemies. Besides, I am not from the Demon Realm. The life and death of the Demon Realm has nothing to do with me."

Dongfangyue didn't seem to be able to catch anything on my expression, and said seriously: "Yu Feng, we should have a good talk."

I was very curious, I didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Dongfangyue Gourd, and I didn't know if she was trying to trick me, so I refused: "There is nothing to talk about between you and me, even if we want to talk, I will Talk to your father."

Dongfangyue smiled and said: "Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Wan'er have nowhere to go now, you and Jiuyang can return to your world, you came to find my father today in danger alone, just to keep Zhuge Yu and Zhuge Wan'er It’s nothing more than the life of my son. If you cooperate with me, I can let you achieve the same goal and save the lives of both of them.”

I couldn't help but secretly sighed, Dongfang Yue was really powerful, I smiled calmly and said: "Then I want to hear, how can you save the lives of my grandfather and auntie?"

"It seems that my guess is right... Before I tell you, I want to confirm one thing, whether you have obtained the approval of the soul of the magic tree, or if you have learned the third sword of the Star Demon Sword Art Cultivation technique?"

Dongfangyue has been staring at my face, her sharp eyes seem to see through me.

I was stunned again, but my face was still calm, and I said with a smile: "As we all know, I killed the demon soul, which caused the entire demon realm to show signs of exhaustion. Why did Miss Yue say that I was recognized by the demon soul?"

Dongfang Yue said: "Twenty years ago, many masters besieged the demon soul, but none of them took advantage. Although the demon soul lost its heart and its power was greatly reduced, you alone can kill the demon soul? Can't kill!"

"The demon soul has indeed disappeared. Since you can't kill it, then the demon soul must have chosen you and approved you! The cunning and asynchronous method you used today proves this even more. Yu Feng, you can't hide it from me at all. .”

I couldn't keep calm in my heart, and said: "Since Miss Yue can infer this point, then your father must know it too, so why did your father insist three months ago that I destroyed the demon soul?"

Dongfangyue smiled mysteriously, "Since you are so smart, can't you guess?"

"Hehe... Your father just wants to take advantage of this incident to deal with Zhuge Yu and unify the two tribes."

Dongfang Yue said: "Over the years, my father has always wanted to unify the two tribes and become the overlord of mankind. Even though he has a lot of evidence that Zhuge Yu violated the clan rules, just like your parents, there is still no substantive evidence , and your appearance led to the failure of the magic tree, which just allowed my father to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat Zhuge Yu in one fell swoop and successfully unify the two tribes."

I asked: "But one thing, the decline of the magic tree is beyond your father's expectation. I want to know, what is your father's next plan?"

Dongfang Yue said: "Of course my father knows that you have been approved by the Demon Tree, and he also knows that the Demon Tree will definitely let you return to your world to find the heart of the Demon Soul, so my father will not deal with you, and neither will I. Otherwise, three months ago, with your little strength, I could slap you to death with a single slap, could you hijack me and escape? Do you really think that a few broken talismans of yours can deal with me?"

What the hell!

So it is!Dongfangyue let us go on purpose!
"My father has great ambitions. He not only wants to unify the two tribes, but also wants the demon realm to surrender! When he knew that you had been approved by the demon soul, he was extremely unwilling and wanted to snatch the power of the demon soul from you and turn it into I have it myself, but my father wants you to go back to your world and get the heart of the demon soul, and then deal with you. At that time, capture the heart of the demon soul and the soul of the demon tree, and completely possess the power of the entire demon realm!"

Why did Dongfang Yue tell me these extremely confidential things?Are you trying to win my trust?
When she said this, she betrayed her father, which made me doubtful. I asked, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Dongfang Yue smiled slightly, "Are you interested in talking to me now?"

I thought for a while and said, "If my guess is correct, you told me so much to stop your father."

"You are really smart, and I didn't misunderstand the person, no wonder the soul of the magic tree chose you." Dongfang Yue looked a little surprised, and then said: "To tell you the truth, three months ago, my father said that Zhuge Yu would unite with you." The outsiders snatching the heart of the Demon Tree is all fake, and I can also guess that what happened 20 years ago was planned by my father, and Zhuge Yu is innocent."

What the hell!I was shocked!I asked, "How do you know this? If your father is going to do these things, he will never let you know, not let anyone in the tribe know."

Dongfangyue sighed, and said helplessly, "Because I believe that your father and your mother are not that kind of person, and I believe that Zhuge Yu is not that kind of person either."

I was surprised: "You know my parents?"

"Yes." Dongfang Yue said: "I grew up with your mother, Zhuge Yun'er, and I love sisters. Your mother saved your father at the seaside, and I was there at that time. If it weren't for my help, your mother would not It is impossible to hide your father in the tribe for half a year before being discovered by Zhuge Yu."

"Your father is an upright man, and he has deep affection for your mother. Your mother is also very kind. He can't bear to trample an ant to death. Zhuge Yu doesn't have any ambitions. He only knows how to protect the tribe. Three people like this, How could you betray Demon Realm?"

"At the beginning, after Zhuge Yu took your father to obtain the approval of the magic tree, not long after, your father planned to return to your world. Your father said that the medicine in your world is very developed, and there are many people who practice Taoism. They will definitely be able to solve the problem. If the answer to your mother's shortened lifespan is found, it can save everyone here."

"And Zhuge Yu didn't let your father leave at that time. After all, the existence of the Demon Realm cannot be exposed to outsiders. Your father and Zhuge Yu quarreled, and both sides disagreed. In desperation, Zhuge Yu locked up your father."

"Your mother asked me for help in desperation. Your mother secretly rescued your father, but she couldn't find any monsters to leave. Zhuge Yu was afraid that your parents would escape, so she had already imprisoned all the monsters and took your parents away. I arranged for that demon beast."

"You must know what's going to happen next, right?" Dongfang Yue said, looking at me indifferently.

"En." I nodded heavily, I really didn't expect that it was Dongfangyue who helped my parents leave.

Dongfang Yue said: "You have been approved by the Demon Soul, then you should tell me, who were the ones who stole the Heart of the Demon Tree 20 years ago?"

I thought about it, and decided to tell Dongfangyue, I think Dongfangyue didn't just ask me, but really wanted to cooperate with me, I said: "There are seven people, one is the demon king, one is your father, And the other five are people from our world, I can be sure that among these five people, there are people from Lingshan, and there are people from the underground ghost realm, and I don't know who the other three are."

"What did you say? The demon king?" Dongfang Yue was taken aback, "Are you sure there is a demon king among those people?"

I said: "I can also be sure that it was your father who cooperated with the demon king and brought the outside masters straight into the Demon Realm. Otherwise, judging from the topography of the island, the Demon Realm is in the center of the island, while other territories in all directions belong to the Demon Realm." In the monster domain, the first thing outsiders have to face is the attack of the monsters, just like the first time they came, they were defeated by the monsters and fled."

"The second time they came, they went straight into the Demon Realm without making a sound, and took away the heart of the Demon Tree with lightning speed. Obviously, the Demon King was involved in this matter, and they were able to escape the monsters around the island. attack, your father brought them to the Demon Realm, and only then did they successfully obtain the Heart of the Demon Tree and escape smoothly."

Dongfangyue was silent for a long time before she said: "I can guess that my father united with outsiders back then in order to obtain the power of the heart of the demon soul and the soul of the demon tree, so that he could become an invincible existence to unify the demon domain. I thought it was the Star Demon Art, but he failed. I don't know what happened at that time, I only know that the heart of the demon soul was snatched away by someone outside, and the soul of the demon tree fell into a deep sleep, sealing itself, and no one can break it. Do not open that seal."

"But..." Dongfang Yue frowned, and looked at me with some puzzlement, "My father hated the demon king to the core. Over the years, he took experts to hunt powerful monsters every month. My brother is also very young. I died in the hands of the protector under the demon king's throne, I don't understand, how could my father join forces with the demon king?"

I thought for a while and said: "In the face of absolute interests, even enemies of life and death can temporarily give up their hatred. As for your father's dealing with monsters every month these years, it is because, in the plan back then, your father Both the demon king and the demon king were calculated by people in our world, and they got nothing. In the end, the demon king got an immortal pill! So, your father's purpose must be this pill!"

"Immortal Pill? What is that?" Dongfang Yue's face was full of curiosity and confusion.

I explained: "It is a kind of elixir refined with the power of the heart of the demon tree. My mother ate one back then, but the demon king took one away. After taking the elixir of immortality, after going to our world , your strength will not weaken, and your vitality will not pass away."

I didn't say that there was another Zhuge jade, because I couldn't fully trust Dongfangyue.

After Dongfangyue received so many important news, she looked solemn and asked, "Then what do you want to talk to my father about?"

I asked back, "What exactly do you want me to do when you are looking for me?"

Dongfang Yue's expression was a little gloomy, and she obviously remembered some unhappy things, "I don't want my father to make mistakes again and again, if this continues, my father will destroy the Demon Realm sooner or later and let everyone die here, so, I want you Help, stop my father, let Moyu be like before, let everyone continue to live here, live a carefree life."
