“Qingyun Immortal, this child Miaojun was born with a strange phenomenon, a sky-piercing bloody light, which is very likely the Heavenly Demon Body from the Yao Race's legends.
The ambitious King of the Golden Haired Rats will surely Possess her, or refine her into a Heavenly Demon Medicinal Pill and eat her!
I beg you, please hurry and save this poor child.”
Gu Hai was in a panic, pleading bitterly.
“No rush, the show has just begun.”
Xia Changqing, with his hands behind his back, controlled the Demon Halberd and looked forward, smiling playfully.
His straight black hair flowed down to his shoulders, and his simple green robe fluttered in the wind. His deep eyes cleverly concealed a wickedness that toyed with all living beings.
Though he was one of the Righteous Path's paramount Great Master's Senior Brother, he looked more like someone from the Heavenly Devil Sect.
His Sage Eyes keenly detected that Gu Miaojun, with the help of the blood pillar phenomenon at the birth of her Heavenly Demon Body, had recovered some of her Spell, and was now planning to use a secret escape Daoist Magic.
“Hahaha, the Heavenly Demon Body!
My Treasure Hunting Rat Clan can finally rise again!
You are much stronger than that useless cheap woman.
You gave birth to a Heavenly Demon Body for this King in your first pregnancy; you are simply a perfect Yao Cauldron!
Once I refine this little brat into a Heavenly Demon Medicinal Pill and consume it, I will definitely achieve Bloodline reversion.
With you as a Cauldron that can continuously produce Medicinal Pill raw materials, it will be no difficult feat for me to achieve Immortal Ascension and become a Great Emperor in the future!”
The King of the Golden Haired Rats stared greedily at the male infant in Gu Miaojun’s arms, laughing hideously.
“You disgusting monster, dream on about achieving Immortal Ascension and becoming a Great Emperor.
You were already killed by my Senior Brother.
Everything happening here is an illusory bubble, a virtual world constructed by the Haotian Mirror.
When my Senior Brother comes, he will surely cut you into a thousand pieces again.”
Gu Miaojun carefully held the newborn male infant, shouting with venomous eyes.
She was filled with regret now; if she hadn't courted death, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
“Hahaha, you crazy little slut, you’re still talking nonsense even now!
This King has been entrenched in Jinyang Prefecture for thousands of years, daring to act recklessly on the territory of Qingyun Holy Land. Do you really think I have no backing?
To tell you the truth, I have someone above me, and it’s a big shot within Qingyun Holy Land.
We have been cooperating for hundreds of years. I refine Blood Infant Medicinal Pills for him, and he provides me with protection.”
The King of the Golden Haired Rats laughed complacently.
“Someone high up in Qingyun Holy Land is cooperating with you, a Prodigy, to refine Medicinal Pills from human infants?”
Gu Miaojun said, utterly shocked. Even the crowd outside the Haotian Mirror found it unbelievable.
“Master, please rest assured, whether true or false, this old man will thoroughly investigate this matter.”
Ye Zheng looked at Murong Bing on the cloud bed, whose face grew colder and more frigid, and quickly stepped forward to clear his name, speaking righteously.
Although he had ambitions to usurp power and had many secret collaborations with the Heavenly Devil Sect, he would not go so far as to cooperate with a rat Yao Beast for a few Blood Infant Medicinal Pills and leave a handle.
After all, if he truly wanted to consume Blood Infant Medicinal Pills, he could just buy them from the Heavenly Devil Sect; their Medicinal Pills were purer in concentration and better in effect.
“You disgusting 孽畜 (nièchù), die!”
Gu Miaojun suddenly bit her tongue, and facing the King of the Golden Haired Rats, who was close at hand and reeked of stench, she spat out two blood Sword Qi that fiercely pierced into the latter's Demonic Qi eyes.
Then she performed the Shangqing Sword Escape Daoist Magic, soaring towards the nameless valley where Xia Changqing was.
“Roar, roar, roar! Damn slut, this King underestimated you, you actually know Daoist Magic. I will eat you.”
The middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks clutched his bleeding eyes and roared to the sky, then transformed into a ten-zhang tall golden-haired giant rat, enveloped in resentful spirits and dark Demonic Qi, madly chasing after Gu Miaojun.
“Wuwuwu, Senior Brother, please save me quickly, Miaojun knows her mistake.”
Gu Miaojun held the crying male infant, tearfully pleading with the handsome young man riding the Demon Halberd in the sky.
The layer of Shangqing Sword Qi around her was about to dissipate, and she would become a Mortal again.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a bizarre claw shadow swept over, instantly pressing the woman firmly onto the ground.
“Little rat, take your prey and get out of this Venerable One’s territory, otherwise you will die.”
Xia Changqing smiled calmly, as if speaking of a trivial matter.
“Senior Brother, how can you just stand by and watch me die!
You weren't like this before, you used to like me the most.
Wuwuwu, I already know I was wrong, why can't you forgive me, you are so selfish.”
Gu Miaojun asked, terrified and loudly.
“If you haven’t done anything wrong, how can there be forgiveness?
It’s my fault. I actually brought you to Qingyun Holy Land, breaking up your family reunion. Look how much your rat Yao Beast father dotes on you.
It’s a pity this isn’t the real world, otherwise you should be happier.”
Xia Changqing said softly.
“Xia Changqing, if you don't kill this rat Yao Beast, you will be trapped in the mirror world forever too.
Master and the others are watching this scene outside, you can't just stand by and watch me die.”
Hearing Xia Changqing’s gentle words, Gu Miaojun’s face turned pale as if she had fallen into an ice cave, trembling with fear.
“What real world, mirror world.
What are you two talking about? Qingyun boy, tell this King what is going on.
Am I really only living in a fictional world?
Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. I still want to achieve Immortal Ascension and become a Great Emperor. I cannot just be an illusion constructed by an Emperor Weapon.”
The King of the Golden Haired Rats shook its large head vigorously, roaring unwillingly with a ferocious expression.
It couldn't help but recall the powerless Gu Miaojun suddenly displaying profound Daoist Magic and her usual taunts and curses towards it, as well as the conversation between the woman and the handsome young man in front of it, which was full of strangeness.
The rat Yao Beast was terrified to realize that it might be like a puppet controlled in a puppet show, just a clown for entertainment. Once the performance ended and the farce was over, it would lose its purpose, and its consciousness would turn into nothingness, completely vanishing.
“That’s right, you were indeed already dead, and you were killed by this Venerable One with a single halberd strike.
Now your Demonic Qi is still imprisoned in my Demonic Qi, becoming a Yao Slave.”
Xia Changqing laughed mockingly.
Then, with a thought, the Demon Halberd under his feet disappeared, transforming into a seductive and evil great halberd that appeared in the young man’s hand.
“Little rat, go say hello to yourself!”
The handsome young man gently shook the long halberd, and a ten-zhang tall, gray-eyed, dull-looking black giant rat in a Demonic Qi state suddenly appeared before the King of the Golden Haired Rats.
Everything else could be faked, but a Demonic Qi could not.
“The exact same soul, am I really dead already?”
The rat Yao Beast was stunned, its voice trembling with horror.
“Hahaha, otherwise what, you fool who is being played in the palm of my hand.”
Gu Miaojun suddenly burst into a shrill laugh, her venomous eyes wishing she could tear the rat Yao Beast behind her to shreds.
“If I die, you won’t live either. I want you to be buried with me.”
The golden-haired giant rat’s eyes turned red, its demeanor frenzied. It shattered its Demonic Qi, raising its Realm to the Late Stage of Soul Transformation, and madly charged towards Xia Changqing.
“An ant trying to stop a chariot, overestimating yourself. If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time, boom!”
Xia Changqing swung the Demon Halberd in his hand. Amidst the claw light and halberd shadows, he easily pierced through the rat Yao Beast’s head. The originally incredible golden-haired giant rat instantly exploded.
“Wuwuwu, it’s finally over. Mother, my other brothers and sisters, you can rest in peace.”
Gu Hai knelt on the ground, wailing mournfully.
“Yi ya yi ya!”
The male infant in Gu Miaojun’s arms, startled by the explosion, suddenly opened his small mouth and cried loudly.
“Good baby, don’t cry anymore, the monster is dead, we are safe.
Senior Brother, the rat Yao Beast is dead, why can’t we return to the real world yet?”
Gu Miaojun gently comforted the crying male infant while weeping profusely.
Her pitiful beautiful eyes were filled with despair.
“Why do you think the world in the mirror still exists?
Naturally, it’s because your Karma has not been completely severed.
Anyway, I have Sage Eyes and can see through illusions to discern true knowledge, so I can leave anytime. It’s you who will have a hard time.
Tsk tsk tsk, little fellow, you are so cute.”
Xia Changqing looked curiously at the adorable male infant, raised an eyebrow, and like an older brother next door, made a funny face, making the male infant grin and stop crying.
He indeed liked children, but only his own children.
