Chapter 282

The Sun Power was extremely domineering; even her secret realm could not withstand its intense heat and was gradually being burned to ashes.

At this moment, the Silver Gourd Demon King finally gave in.

"Spare me!"

The Silver Gourd Demon King roared in despair, "Please spare me! I'm willing to release the child and offer up all my treasures, just please spare my life!"

She didn't want to die!

She was a powerful demon lord, how could she willingly perish here?

"Too late!"

Xiao Minghuang's voice was flat, without any emotional fluctuation.

The next moment.

The blazing, bright Primordial Sun Power, carrying an unstoppable sword light, slammed fiercely onto the Southern Realm Gate.

"Ah!!!"

The Silver Gourd Demon King burned all the Saint Dao Law in his body, unleashing his most powerful force in an attempt to protect himself, but it was still like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly vulnerable.

The ancient and weathered Realm Gate trembled slightly and emitted a buzzing sound, but it remained standing, seemingly unaffected.

The Silver Gourd Demon King, who was stuck between the Realm Gate, has been reduced to ashes!

Somewhere in the desolate mountains of the southern wilderness.

A dark curtain of light suddenly unfolded in the sky, and two bloody severed hands fell down like shooting stars.

What is that?

Nearby cultivators from the Southern Wilderness looked up at the sky, but before they could react, an incredibly powerful shockwave erupted from the spot where the meteor had fallen, spreading out in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, a mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of miles was smashed in half!

Where the meteor fell, streams of malevolent thoughts drifted out, lingering and turning the surrounding area of hundreds of miles into a dead zone!

In the Sea of Boundaries, Xiao Minghuang gazed at the fragments of the secret realm that the Silver Gourd Demon King had scattered, and quickly unleashed her Primordial Spirit power to search for her legacy.

Soon, they found traces of Xiao Luo Qianrui in one of the fragments.

Xiao Minghuang's lips curled into a smile, and then he took a step forward, arriving at Xiao Luo Qianrui's place.

At this moment, Xiao Luo Qianrui was already terrified, her pretty face as pale as paper, trembling with fear.

Upon seeing Xiao Minghuang, she was momentarily stunned, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, yet she stubbornly held them back from falling.

"Fairy Sister..."

Xiao Minghuang quickly stepped forward, knelt down in front of her, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Xiao Rui, don't be afraid, your sister is here!"

Upon hearing that familiar tone, Xiao Luo Qianrui's tense body instantly collapsed, and she fell into Xiao Minghuang's arms, wailing and crying, looking as aggrieved as a tearful child.

"Mmm... Ugh..."

Xiao Luo Qianrui hugged her neck tightly, sobbing, "Waaah... Sister... a bad woman bullied me..."

Xiao Minghuang comforted her, patting her shoulder gently and saying softly, "It's alright, it's alright, sweetie, I know you've been wronged. That bad woman has been chased away by me! Don't be afraid, Xiao Rui! Don't be afraid!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Luo Qianrui suddenly stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said fiercely between sobs, "No! That woman is too wicked! We must teach her a lesson!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang smiled gently, stroked Xiao Luo Qianrui's hair, and said softly, "Your sister has already taught her a lesson for you. She will never do anything bad again."

Xiao Luo Qianrui trusted the fairy sister's words completely and nodded earnestly. "That's good."

"This is not a place to stay for long. Let me take you home first."

Immediately, Xiao Minghuang picked up Xiao Luo Qianrui, crossed the Sea of Boundaries, and sped towards the Eastern Pole.

Although this battle took place in the Sea of Boundaries, it was not far off for the supreme beings of the Eastern Pole of the Central Heaven and the Southern Wilderness.

Although they cannot enter the Sea of Boundaries and act recklessly, they can sense what is happening within Sea of Boundaries.

The two immortal supreme beings of the Eastern Pole sat discussing the Dao, but simultaneously opened their eyes, their expressions revealing shock, and exclaimed in unison:

"The Sea of Boundaries is trembling!"

The ancient beings of the reclusive Demon Race gazed up at the sky, their eyes shining like the brilliant sun, seemingly piercing through the boundary.

"The Sea of Boundaries is shaking; is the tide coming again?"

At the golden gate leading to the Southern Wilderness, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in the eyes of Gu Jingwu, the Lord of the Central and Eastern Poles.

"The Sea of Boundaries is shaking, could it be that she...?"

In the heart of the southern wilderness, deep within an ancient and solemn palace, a majestic figure emanated a faint voice.

"The Imperial Symbol... is shattered..."

At that moment, an old woman's voice came from outside.

"This old woman requests an audience with the Devil Master; I have urgent matters to report!"

"Enter."

A deep and majestic voice resounded throughout the palace, and the next moment, an old woman in a pink dress stepped into the hall.

362. Will your wish be fulfilled?

Inside the Central Devil Palace.

The old woman in pink looked up at the towering, boundless figure, a hint of respect flashing in her eyes. "Devil Master, in the Sea of Boundaries, the Silver Gourd Demon King has fallen!"

"I already know about this matter. Yin Kui was incompetent and died at the hands of a junior; it was her own fault."

The imposing figure spoke calmly and without any change in emotion.

"The Devil Master is right, she only has herself to blame."

The old woman in pink paused for a moment, then continued, "But the strength of the person who killed my disciple was beyond my expectations."

Silence...

"I understand."

The old woman in pink respectfully withdrew from the main hall and flew out of the Demon Emperor's Palace area, a faint hint of anger finally appearing on her face.

"My disciple, are you suggesting we die in vain?!"

The old woman in pink returned to the Joyful Union Dao Devil Palace, her deep voice ringing out.

"Hmph! Whoever it is, whoever killed my disciple must pay the price!"

Immediately, she spread her arms, tore open the boundary wall, rushed into the Sea of Boundaries, and headed straight for the easternmost point.

But just as she was traversing the Sea of Boundaries, in what seemed to be a void that had been silent for billions of years, the sound of giant waves crashing suddenly erupted.

Layer upon layer of void tides rose and fell, crashing against the boundary of the easternmost point.

Rumble!

The boundary wall trembled violently, as if it could not withstand the terrifying pressure and would break at any moment!

"Hmph! The turbulent Sea of Boundaries is your own fault, Eastern Pole! This is divine retribution! Hahahaha!"

After a burst of unrestrained laughter, the Ancestor of Joyful Union gazed at the waves that continuously eroded the eastern boundary wall and left the eastern region with a satisfied expression.

The Sea of Boundaries was churning, and even as a supreme being, she dared not force her way across.

"Once the tide recedes, if that little girl is lucky enough to survive, I will take her life!"

Immediately afterwards, the Ancestor of Joyful Union returned to the Southern Wilderness.

Easternmost point.

Xiao Minghuang, carrying Xiao Luo Qianrui, managed to break through the barrier just before the golden gate closed and returned to the Eastern Pole.

The moment Xiao Minghuang set foot in the Eastern Pole, the rich Spiritual Qi and familiar laws of the Great Dao that greeted her allowed her tense nerves to relax slightly.

This time, Xiao Luo Qianrui finally learned her lesson and hid inside Xiao Minghuang's clothes, not daring to peek out.

"Xiao Rui, we're home."

Then, she released Xiao Luo Qianhua as well.

"Xiao Rui... I thought I'd never see you again..."

"Cowardly sister, why are you crying... You made me cry too..."

The two sisters met and embraced, bursting into tears.

Xiao Minghuang took their hands and said with a smile, "Sister will take you back to see your mother."

As for Luo Qianrui, she was still hiding in her own inner world and did not want to meet these old friends from other dimensions, or rather, herself. Xiao Minghuang let her be.

Before leaving, she looked around but did not see the Lord of the Central and Eastern Poles.

Where the Emperor went was none of her concern, so she didn't pay it any mind. She used her power of the void to head towards the Luo residence.

But when they returned to the Luo residence, they found countless servants surrounding Madam Luo's bedroom, all kneeling and weeping uncontrollably.

"What happened?"

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, took Xiao Luo Qianrui's hand, and walked towards the bedroom.

"Madam! Why are you leaving so soon?!"

Inside the Luo family's bedroom, Madam Luo's personal maid knelt beside her bed, weeping uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, more servants from the Luo family knelt beside Madam Luo's bed, weeping bitterly.

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Luo Qianrui was stunned for a moment, and then a nameless sadness rose in her heart.

This sadness seems innate, deeply ingrained in one's very being.

"Mother, wake up!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Luo Qianrui's eyes reddened, and she rushed to her mother's bedside, shaking her delicate arm as tears streamed down her face.

However, her mother remained unresponsive and did not breathe at all.

Xiao Luo Qianrui felt as if struck by lightning. She stood blankly at the edge of the bed, her mouth agape, but she couldn't say a word. She turned around woodenly and looked at Xiao Minghuang with a pleading look on her face, as if she were praying for something.

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and quickly stepped forward, using her Primordial Spirit power to check on Madam Luo's condition.

"She... she..."

Xiao Minghuang hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, unsure how to begin.

Because she was absolutely certain that at this moment, Madam Luo's life force had been extinguished, and her true spirit had returned to the long river of time, its whereabouts unknown.

Seeing Xiao Minghuang's hesitant manner, the Luo Sisters knew that their mother had probably already passed away.

"Fairy Sister, is it really... really not possible?"

Xiao Luo Qianhua still clung to a sliver of hope, raised her little face to look at Xiao Minghuang, and asked in a trembling voice.

However, her tender little face was covered with tears, making one feel sorry for her.

Xiao Minghuang sighed bitterly and shook her head, "I... my cultivation is too low... I really can't..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Luo Qianhua and Xiao Luo Qianrui almost simultaneously collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down their faces.

Especially for Xiao Luo Qianrui, who had finally been rescued from the clutches of the demons by Xiao Minghuang, she had hoped to see her mother again and returned home happily, only to find her mother's cold corpse. What a heavy blow this must have been for a five-year-old girl!

At that moment, Xiao Minghuang suddenly thought of someone.

"Don't bury Madam's body yet, I'll be right back!"

Xiao Minghuang dared not speak too definitively, leaving room for maneuver, before leaping into the sky.

Watching Xiao Minghuang disappear into the horizon, the two little girls continued to sob uncontrollably.
