Was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor His Friend?

Xu Qingying held her breath when she heard the name Eternal Night Demon Emperor, because she had heard about this man when she was very young and admired him greatly.

After learning that she would possess the Immaculate Emperor Position, she regarded this strongest being in the Demon Domain as both a role model and a rival!

Her Immaculate Emperor Position is comparable to his Eternal Night Emperor Position. One day, she will be able to catch up with the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, and with the help of the extraterrestrial resources obtained by her master, she may even surpass him!

"He disappeared for over 1,500 years, and now he's reappeared? Just how strong has he become?" Xu Qingying narrowed her eyes and asked, feigning nonchalance.

For even her master to describe it as terrifying, she must be incredibly strong!

This fueled her fighting spirit even more!

She will eventually become a woman who can rival, or even surpass, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!

If the Eternal Night Demon Emperor can become stronger, then she can too!

"The news from over there is that he has emerged from seclusion, and he's terrifyingly strong! He was actually able to refine the Demon God Mother Tree!"

Lin Qingxue's expression was very solemn.

"What?!" Xu Qingying exclaimed in shock.

It's normal for someone who has been in seclusion for many years to emerge stronger than before.

Hearing that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor could actually refine the Demon God Mother Tree, could this really be the kind of power boost one could achieve through normal seclusion?!

Lin Qingxue said in a deep voice, "I was also shocked by this news! After my spies there confirmed it with many people, it is true! Because this news was spread by the Demon Emperor Dugu."

Xu Qingying fell silent.

Can I really keep up with the pace of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?

"Wait! Master, didn't you say that no matter how strong he was, he couldn't be much stronger?! Wasn't the Demon God Mother Tree about the same strength as him back then? If he could refine the Demon God Mother Tree, wouldn't he be more than twice as strong as the Demon God Mother Tree?!"

Xu Qingying looked at Lin Qingxue with a face full of surprise and doubt.

Lin Qingxue frowned, equally puzzled.

"Logically, that should be the case, and I can't understand why! This strength is clearly beyond what this world could possess! Perhaps he obtained a special fortuitous opportunity!"

"You mean, he also received fortuitous opportunity from beyond the realm?!" Xu Qingying exclaimed in surprise.

"Perhaps..."

Lin Qingxue wasn't sure.

"Wait! Master, do you think Huangfu Qi and his son could be him...?" Xu Qingying stopped there, not finishing her sentence.

She couldn't understand why the Eternal Night Demon Emperor had come here to punish Huangfu Qi and his son in this way.

"If he could truly refine the Demon God Mother Tree, then he naturally possesses that kind of power! But why would he do such a thing?"

Lin Qingxue also thought of this matter, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand why the Eternal Night Demon Emperor had made a move.

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!

"Wait! Master!! The Eternal Night Demon Emperor disappeared 1,500 years ago, and he... was married to me for 1,000 years..."

A thought flashed through Xu Qingying's mind, a thought that made the corner of her mouth twitch.

He connected the two men together!

Is there any connection between these two?!

"You mean, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor is Lu Qing'an?"

Lin Qingxue frowned.

Xu Qingying also frowned, remaining silent and staring intently at her master.

"Impossible! He can't possibly be the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!"

Lin Qingxue pouted, her face full of disgust.

Although Lu Qing'an came from the Demon Domain and arrived at the Immortal Ruins about a thousand years ago, she had personally witnessed the cultivation level Lu Qing'an displayed!

She's about the same as me!

"Moreover! The timing doesn't match up! The message the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's disciple sent out was that he had just emerged from seclusion! He disappeared for 1,500 years, while Lu Qing'an has been in the Immortal Ruins for 1,000 years!"

Lin Qingxue shook her head vigorously.

If Lu Qing'an were the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, she would have been dead long ago!

Besides, Lu Qing'an's personality is nothing like that of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor.

The Eternal Night Demon Emperor is a great killing god!

Extremely violent!!

He kills people at the drop of a hat!

Lu Qing'an's personality is so soft it's almost insensitive. Xu Xuanyu has been making sarcastic remarks about him for a thousand years, and he hasn't uttered a single word. Could this really be the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!

Furthermore, he is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor; would he really do something like this for Xu Xuanyu?!

"That's unreasonable, completely unreasonable! My disciple, how could you have such an idea?"

Lin Qingxue couldn't accept that her disciple had such thoughts, and it even made her waver for a moment!

Xu Qingying frowned.

She thought about it carefully and realized that there were indeed many inconsistencies.

She had been with him for a thousand years, and what she liked most about him was his gentle nature, his calm and patient demeanor, and especially his patience and tolerance towards his family.

"Wait! Master, do you think... is it possible that he and the Eternal Night Demon Emperor are friends?!"

Suddenly, Xu Qingying remembered something, and her expression changed.

Lin Qingxue was stunned upon hearing this.

While many things don't add up to the claim that Lu Qing'an is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, it's highly possible that Lu Qing'an is related to the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, or even a friend, and asked the Eternal Night Demon Emperor to help cripple Huangfu Qi and the other person!

After all, Lu Qing'an did indeed possess the cultivation level of the Peak Great Emperor Realm!

And it also comes from the Demon Domain!

"No way... The Eternal Night Demon Emperor can be friends with someone like him?!" Lin Qingxue still refused to accept this outcome.

Why should I?!

How could he have a friend like that?!

"Master, the more I think about it, the more likely it seems... After he goes back, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor will just come out of seclusion, so perhaps the two of them will meet..." Xu Qingying frowned and pondered.

Lin Qingxue: "..."

She couldn't help but think of some of the things Lu Zhengran had said.

Lu Qing'an found a way to get Lu Zixuan and Lu Miaomiao into the Demon Willow Academy outside of the assessment period.

If the Eternal Night Demon Emperor were to intervene, it might actually be possible to force the Demon Willow Academy to compromise...

They matched up...

Everything makes sense...

"Damn it! He's really a friend of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!"

Lin Qingxue was extremely unwilling to accept it, but no matter how she thought about it, she found that it made sense.

There's a 90% chance that Lu Qing'an is indeed a friend of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!

And they have an extremely good relationship!

She had heard before that the Eternal Night Demon Emperor had some friends, one of whom was the Great Emperor Leixiao.

There are a few more, but not many people know exactly who they are.

"It's alright! The Eternal Night Demon Emperor is just his friend, not him personally! Besides, you can become a powerhouse comparable to the Eternal Night Demon Emperor in the future! He's not the only one who can obtain fortuitous opportunity from beyond the realms! Remember, you must not waver in your beliefs! Only by becoming strong yourself can you truly become strong!"

Lin Qingxue looked at Xu Qingying, forcing a smile on her face, trying to soothe her own inner turmoil by comforting Xu Qingying.

Xu Qingying steadied herself and nodded earnestly. "Master is right, true strength comes from within! However, once I truly break through to the Peak Great Emperor Realm, can I really become even stronger by relying on those extraterrestrial resources?"

"You just need to trust your master! As long as our plan proceeds smoothly, one day, even the Eternal Night Demon Emperor will be powerless against you! However, given the current situation, we need to be careful. Lu Qing'an is a friend of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, and it's inevitable that this guy will use the Eternal Night Demon Emperor to destroy us!"

Lin Qingxue's expression was extremely serious.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingying decisively shook her head. "No, I know him, he wouldn't do that to me..."

Are you sure?

Xu Qingying nodded earnestly. "He's actually quite good..."

Unfortunately, he became an obstacle on her path to her goal.

"Disciple! Don't think about it anymore!" Lin Qingxue noticed Xu Qingying's change in mood again and quickly interrupted her.

Xu Qingying closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again, and regained her composure.

"It's alright, he can no longer sway me."

"By the way, Master, he wouldn't do that to me, but I'm not sure if he would do that to you... Maybe you should hide away for a while..."

Lin Qingxue: "..."

"By the way, Master, do your people in the Demon Domain Realm have any way of obtaining a portrait of the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?"

"I heard that when the Eternal Night Demon Emperor was refining the Demon God Mother Tree, someone clearly saw his true face. I've tried to get the people there to find the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's portrait, but the Demon Domain is vast, so it might take some time."

"Okay, I want to see what this Eternal Night Demon Emperor looks like..."

Xu Qingying didn't know why, but she kept feeling that the thought that had flashed through her mind not long ago didn't quite add up in many ways, yet she just couldn't shake it off.

She needed to be absolutely certain of what the Eternal Night Demon Emperor looked like before she could dismiss the idea...

Just then, a cheerful voice rang out.

"Mother! I'm back! I've also brought back some good friends from the academy!" Lu Zhengran said with a smile as he led several young men and women into the main hall.

In the Demon Domain, in an ancient courtyard, by the pond.

Lu Zixuan, Xu Yunyi, and the others sat cross-legged in front of the pond, cultivating under the Demon God Mother Tree.

Suddenly, Xu Yunyi noticed that the Sound Transmission Jade Slip was vibrating.

Seeing that it was her younger brother sending the message, she smiled and answered.

"Young man, how are you feeling?"

"Second sister, I'm feeling much better now. I can move around normally again, and in a few more days, I should be just like a normal person."

"That's good!" Xu Yunyi smiled with satisfaction when she heard that her younger brother was in a stable mood.

It seems my younger brother will be here soon!

"Second sister, Zhengran next to you. He asked me to send you a telepathic message," Xu Xuanyu suddenly said.

"Hmm? He wanted to see me?"

Lu Zhengran snatched the Sound Transmission Jade Slip and laughed, "Auntie! Is my sister next to me?"

"Zhengran, your sister is cultivating, so don't disturb her..."

Hearing those familiar words again, Xu Yunyi's lips twitched.

Zhengran, you're just asking for trouble again!

At that moment, Lu Zixuan, who was cultivating nearby, opened her eyes and looked at Xu Yunyi.

"Auntie, it's alright, I've finished my cultivation."

She wanted to see how her younger brother would continue to make a fool of himself!
