Gu Huaiwei, Resurrected Once Again

"Gu Huaiwei, aren't you dead?"

Jiang Zhuoxue looked at the man in black robes with great apprehension. The pale face revealed under his hood made Jiang Zhuoxue feel as if she were looking at a dead man.

Boruo immediately understood what his son had said and looked at the man in black robes in horror, "You know each other? Who are you?!"

In the small room, sparks from the Fire of Tempering illuminated the darkness.

The man in black robes leaned against the gate, Jiang Zhuoxue stood suspended in mid-air above the pool of fire from the Fire of Tempering, and Bo Boruo stood warily between the two. The three faced each other in a three-legged standoff, but they all knew very well that Jiang Zhuoxue and Boruo natural allies.

To prevent the man in black robes from escaping, Jiang Zhuoxue summoned the Netherfire from the fire pool, directly sealing the door behind him.

The Netherfire was different from ordinary fire; even a tiny bit of it ignited the black-robed man's robe.

Seeing that his appearance had been exposed, the man in black simply took off his robe and let the blue Netherfire burn it to ashes in an instant.

"It's a real pity. I originally planned to keep it a secret for a while longer." The man in black, Gu Huaiwei, said with regret.

Jiang Zhuoxue watched his actions and felt that the person in front of her was so different from the Gu Huaiwei she remembered.

If the two faces weren't exactly identical, Jiang Zhuoxue wouldn't have dared to recognize the man in black.

He raised his hand again, shielding Princess Boruo Gu Huaiwei for answers, "You clearly died in front of Sang Ying, so why have you reappeared? Or are you some kind of Devil Creature or monster using Gu Huaiwei's face?"

Based on her previous encounters with Gu Huaiwei, Jiang Zhuoxue was certain that the person in front of her had a figure that was exactly similar to Gu Huaiwei's, and even their voices were the same.

However, Gu Huaiwei's body was clearly buried with Sang Ying. To prevent anyone from making a fuss about Gu Huaiwei's body, they simply burned it.

It's impossible for someone to switch corpses right under their noses, but the person in front of them looks so much like Gu Huaiwei. Could it be that the dead really do come back to life?

"You don't need to guess anymore. You'll find out who I am eventually. I haven't even congratulated you yet on your transformation. You're now a complete Devil Race." The man, who looked exactly like Gu Huaiwei, had a smile on his lips, but Jiang Zhuoxue saw it as nothing but malice.

The man suddenly waved his hand, and the strong wind that rose from the ground extinguished the Netherfire on the door. By the time Jiang Zhuoxue reacted and tried to stop him, he suddenly rushed out of the house.

Jiang Zhuoxue and Boruo instinctively chased after him, but by the time they got out of the house, the other person had already disappeared.

The passage leading to the Lower Realm disappeared after the man left.

Jiang Zhuoxue, who had chased after them, was furious when he saw this. This person had taken Sang Ying away, and before he could even ask any questions, his attention was diverted by the other person's striking resemblance to Gu Huaiwei.

However, Jiang Zhuoxue was not discouraged. He turned back to the corner where the man had been standing, and a cluster of Netherfire suddenly ignited in his palm.

The spark seemed to have facial features, as if it had caught the man's scent, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Boruo this scene, Bo Ruo turned to look at the fire pool that Jiang Zhuoxue had almost "drained" of. Even though she felt somewhat estranged from this son, she could only steel herself and step forward to ask, "What happened to the fire pool? What happened to you inside?"

As she asked her questions, she secretly sized up Jiang Zhuoxue from head to toe.

Jiang Zhuoxue still has the same handsome face as before, but compared to his previous delicate and clean appearance, the completely demonized Jiang Zhuoxue now has a black and eerie line between his eyebrows, making his originally handsome, immortal-like face more sinister.

His still-present aura was almost overwhelming for Princess Boruo, a Devil Race princess, making her feel an urge to submit.

Jiang Zhuoxue was unaware of his mother's thoughts. He simply replied somewhat awkwardly and coldly, "Within the Fire of Tempering, there is Devil Core left behind by the Devil Master."

Just that one sentence made Boruo's eyes widen, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"What did you say? What is hidden in the Fire of Tempering?" If you listened carefully, you could even hear the tremor in Boruo's voice.

Jiang Zhuoxue looked back at her mother and said, word by word, "The Devil Master's Devil Core is hidden in the Fire of Tempering. He left this most important thing in the Fire of Tempering, which is why the Fire of Tempering can temper the physique of the Devil Race. It makes the powerful Devil Race even stronger, while the weak Devil Race are immediately devoured."

"Over the years, the Devil Core has helped many Devil Race, but it has also Devil Race far more. Therefore, the Devil Core has accumulated the purest Demonic Power, a considerable amount over the years. Now, it has all benefited me."

Jiang Zhuoxue spoke lightly, but Boruo wasn't stupid. She still remembered the pain she felt when she entered the Fire of Tempering. If that was the power of the Devil Core, and she was already in so much pain just from tempering her body, she imagined that her son would suffer even more when he subdued the Devil Core.

Boruo pursed her lips. She and Jiang Zhuoxue had been separated for far too long. Before, when Sang Ying was around, it wasn't so awkward between them, but now that it was just the two of them, Boruo felt a little uncomfortable.

She quickly changed the subject and asked, "Then what about the ball of fire that just appeared in your palm? Do you have a way to find that man in black?"

Jiang Zhuoxue nodded silently, but there were some things she didn't say to Boruo.

The Devil Core originally intended to devour him, since he was a hybrid of Dragon Race and Devil Race, and how could someone with impure blood enter the Devil Race Fire of Tempering?

But Jiang Zhuoxue was inherently resilient. Although he was not as powerful as the Devil Core, he was very cunning. He first pretended to be weakened by the Devil Core's attack. When the Devil Core was fooled and came closer to devour him, Jiang Zhuoxue's long-awaited final blow landed on the Devil Core, thus completely subduing it.

After subduing the Devil Core, Jiang Zhuoxue unexpectedly discovered that she could command the clusters of Netherfire in the Devil Domain.

It turns out that these flames are a special ability of the Devil Master, and the cluster of flames that emerged from Jiang Zhuoxue's palm was specifically used for tracking. That cluster of Netherfire sensed the black-robed man's presence and had already quietly pursued him.

The former Devil Master was killed during the Gods and Devils. After his death, Prince Futu was unable to support the entire Devil Race like his predecessor. Instead, he was suppressed beneath the Gods and Devils Battlefield.

No one knows how the Devil Core fell into the fire pool and became part of the Fire of Tempering, but this treasure left behind by the Devil Master now belongs to Jiang Zhuoxue.

He suddenly raised his hand and wantonly let the Netherfire ignite the entire Devil Domain.

After the remaining Demonic Qi in the Devil Domain had been completely burned away by the blue flames, Jiang Zhuoxue whispered to Boruo, "Let's go. This place no longer belongs to us. We should Lower Realm to the mortal realm to find those escaped Devil Race!"
