He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 728 Summoning the Demon King

He Yuzhu glared at the strange black air with flames of anger burning in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "You are so cruel and killed so many innocent people. You are committing a heinous crime. You deserve to die!" His voice echoed in this gloomy space, with endless indignation.

The black energy seemed to have heard some ridiculous words, and instantly changed into the appearance of a young man with a disdainful smile on his face. He said contemptuously: "Oh? A waste like you is worthy of challenging me? You don't even have the qualifications to make me take action." The eyes of the young man-shaped black energy were full of contempt, as if He Yuzhu was an ant in his eyes.

He Yuzhu was terrified, his legs trembling slightly. But he knew he couldn't retreat, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the jade pendant. This jade pendant had been given to him by the previous sect leader, and he silently prayed, wondering if it could save him in this life-or-death situation. In this perilous place, he relied on the jade pendant for courage; otherwise, he would have been terrified and fled.

Qingyi, who was standing aside, was also very nervous. He looked at He Yuzhu and said anxiously, "Master, this...what should we do?" There was a hint of fear and helplessness in his eyes. After all, the power displayed by the black air in front of him was too strong.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, forced a calm smile, and looked at Qingyi. "Elder Qingyi, we have no way out now. We have no choice but to fight to the death. Otherwise, we will all die here." With that, he steeled his resolve and, exerting all his strength, crushed the jade pendant. As the jade pendant shattered, a strange light instantly shone. He Yuzhu stared intently at the light, nervously awaiting the unknown outcome.

Qin Gou, the black energy that had transformed into a young man, watched He Yuzhu and Qingyi act like fools, their actions unexplained. He had initially considered teasing them, amusing himself by watching them struggle in fear. However, the moment the jade pendant shattered, he suddenly felt an inexplicable dread, a surge of unease. This feeling made him dare not underestimate them any further, so he decided to stop delaying and take immediate action to eliminate the two men.

Seeing this, Qingyi immediately took his stance, ready to resist with all his might. He knew in his heart that although his strength was not as strong as the black energy, he had to fight with all his might in order to survive and protect the clan leader.

Just as Qin Gou was about to launch his attack, another cloud of black energy suddenly drifted out from the shattered jade pendant. This black energy exuded a powerful and mysterious aura, as if endless power surged within it. Qin Gou's attack, which had been ready to launch, suddenly stopped. His eyes widened, his heart filled with shock and fear. The pressure emanating from this black energy before him was far greater than his own, making him dare not act rashly.

He Yuzhu immediately recognized the young man in front of him, formed from the black energy, as the former sect leader. Overjoyed, he turned to Qingyi and excitedly said, "Elder Qingyi, we survived! It's the former sect leader, he's here to save us!"

Qingyi hadn't expected that He Yuzhu could actually summon his senior brother with this jade pendant. Surprised, he quickly picked up Qiu Feng's body and prepared to leave this dangerous place.

The Devil King looked at Qingyi's actions and asked, "Qiu Feng...what happened?"

Qingyi, his face filled with grief, recounted everything that had happened. He looked at the Demon King of Chaos with tears in his eyes and said, "Brother, Brother Qiu exhausted all his strength to suppress the evil spirit ahead and has passed away."

Upon hearing this, the Devil King slowly walked over to Qiu Feng. Seeing Qiu Feng's lifeless appearance, he felt a wave of grief in his heart. He said softly, "Qiu Feng, although you didn't do anything wrong, we are different after all. Don't worry, I will definitely help you avenge your grudge."

Qing had originally been a disciple of the Tiger Sect, but due to events that happened back then, he was filled with entanglement and pain, and ultimately reluctantly left the Tiger Sect. Now, facing the passing of his fellow disciples, the emotions in his heart were once again deeply touched.

Qingyi looked up at the Demon King before him, his lips trembling slightly as he nearly blurted out "Senior Brother." However, he knew full well that the sect's internal relationships were complex and entwined with countless secrets, and these relationships could never be revealed to others. The place they were in, seemingly peaceful, was actually fraught with danger. No one could tell if someone was secretly watching them. The slightest misstep could lead to catastrophic disaster. Therefore, some words had to be kept to themselves; caution was the key to survival.

The Demon King withdrew his gaze from the surrounding environment and fell on Qin Gou. A scrutiny flashed in his eyes and he slowly said, "Very good. It must have taken you a lot of time to cultivate to this level." He said this lightly, but it hinted at a meaning that should not be underestimated.

Under normal circumstances, given Qin Gou's aloof and arrogant nature, he would have scoffed at such words, ignoring them altogether. But the man standing before him, though seemingly young, emanated a powerful aura that made Qin Gou dare not underestimate him in the slightest. That power was like a surging undercurrent beneath the surface of a calm lake, capable of swallowing anyone with the slightest inadvertence.

Qin Gou was naturally qualified to speak so. Despite his youthful appearance, resembling a teenager newly born, he had in reality lived in this world for tens of thousands of years. The long years, like a magnificent yet fraught painting, had left countless indelible marks on him. He had chosen to remain hidden in the long river of time, no longer concerned with the world's disputes. But who could have imagined that the thick, bloody aura that permeated this place would, like an invisible hand, awaken him from his long slumber.

After Qin Gou woke up, he was full of doubts. He didn't know who or what power allowed him to be resurrected. But there was one thing he knew very well, he must not die here. Because of his special identity, he was a member of the demon clan! The demon clan's innate pride and survival instinct made him calm down quickly. He looked up at the powerful young man in front of him, a cunning flash in his eyes, and said: "We are both demons, and we are of the same bloodline. The human race has always regarded us as enemies and has tried to kill us. Why do you want to help them? Why don't we work together? With the power of the two of us, we will definitely make some waves in this world."

Qin Gou appeared wary of the young man before him, but in reality, he had other plans. He knew his strength hadn't fully recovered yet, so he had to hold back for now. Once he regained his former strength and broke free from the constraints of this world, no one in the world would be able to check him. He believed that with his own abilities and methods, he could carve out a new world for the demon race in this ever-changing world.
