The God Lord Chongming suddenly stood up.
"Master, look, you clearly knew it," Yaohua straightened up, looking a bit smug. "Master, you deliberately avoided me."
Chongming's eyes turned cold. "Lu Ran!"
Lu Ran was waiting outside the hall. Hearing the call, he immediately rushed in.
"My Lord?"
Yaohua's expression stiffened slightly. She didn't know why Master was calling Lu Ran at this moment.
"By the edict of the God Sovereign, Yaohua is not allowed to enter the Celestial Realm without summons. Take her back to the Phoenix Clan."
"Master!"
How could he use this to threaten her?
Yaohua widened her eyes in disbelief.
Was it really that hard for him to accept this matter?
"Get out!"
It felt as if a hole had opened in her chest, and the cold air was rushing in.
Master's cold and frosty face overlapped with his gentle and amiable appearance in the past. For a moment, Yaohua couldn't tell which was the real Master in her heart.
Lu Ran came to pull her, but he couldn't move her.
"Little Princess, please come out with me. The God Lord is very angry now. Don't go head - to - head with him."
"Lu Ran!"
Lu Ran glanced at the God Lord Chongming fearfully and fell silent.
He tugged at Yaohua's sleeve, but she stood firm.
By now, Yaohua had calmed down a bit.
The Celestial Realm had strict rules. What could she expect Master to say?
Currently, the Heavenly Demons were invading. Not only the Celestial Realm but the entire Divine Land was in great danger.
Master was already exhausted from resisting the Heavenly Demons. Even if this matter was to be exposed, it shouldn't be at this moment.
She should find a better opportunity.
"Master, you don't need to drive me away," she pulled back her sleeve. "The Phoenix is a creature of extreme yang. The purer the bloodline, the more powerful the innate divine abilities, and the better it can suppress those Heavenly Demons."
She tilted her head slightly, tracing Master's outline and features with her eyes, and finally met his star - like eyes.
"Master, why don't you let me try to suppress the Heavenly Demons like the Ancestral Phoenix?"
"Yaohua!"
Yaohua felt that the eyes looking at her seemed to be spitting fire.
"Master, although my strength is far inferior to that of the Ancestral Phoenix, my bloodline is the purest in the Phoenix Clan now," she suddenly smiled. "You once said that you hoped I could fight side by side with you one day. Isn't this the perfect opportunity?"
She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Being able to stand beside Master and fight shoulder to shoulder with him was what she yearned for the most.
After this battle, she would be able to stand in front of Master openly, trampling on the unnecessary strict rules of the Celestial Realm, and say what she hadn't said today.
Seemingly stunned by Yaohua's words, Lu Ran slowly withdrew his hand that was still tugging at her sleeve.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was tense. The God Lord Chongming's face was ashen, and his anger was about to explode.
"Fine," he gritted his teeth and repeated the word several times. "Since you want to go to war, from now on, our master - disciple relationship ends. We will be strangers from now on!"
"Master, you're threatening me," Yaohua said calmly.
She had made up her mind today, and no one could stop her.
Because she was sure that only she could subdue those Heavenly Demons.
But she didn't understand why Master was so angry when he could actually cooperate with her. As a God Lord of the Three Realms, did he really have selfish motives? Or was he worried about something?
"Go back, or our master - disciple relationship ends. You can choose for yourself."
It didn't matter. Ending the master - disciple relationship was okay too.
Yaohua lowered her eyes. The Celestial Realm had strict rules. If she was expelled from the master - disciple relationship by Master today, if she had the opportunity to propose marriage in the future, no one would be able to say a word.
She only hoped that this journey would go smoothly for her.
"Master."
This would be the last time she called him Master.
Looking at Master's relaxed brows, Yaohua's tone softened. "I will never disgrace your reputation."
The air suddenly turned cold.
Yaohua didn't dare to look at Master's expression at this moment. She turned around and left the Cangling Hall.
The moment she stepped out, she couldn't help but look back.
Lu Ran scrambled out, tremblingly wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Little Princess, you're being too reckless. You know the God Lord has done everything for you, but you still hurt his heart like this."
"I understand," Yaohua raised her hand to stop him. "Officer Lu, you don't need to say more. Please take good care of Master for me."
The red light in her body could suppress the aura of the Heavenly Demons. She thought Master's burden would be much lighter.
"No!" Lu Ran quickly blocked her. "Little Princess, the God Lord doesn't want you to go because the front line is really dangerous!"
"I know."
If it weren't dangerous, her father and two elder brothers wouldn't have lost their lives.
"You don't know!"
Yaohua was stunned.
"A very powerful Heavenly Demon planted a demonic heart in the God Lord. To suppress the demonic heart, the God Lord hasn't rested for many days."
No wonder Master looked so tired.
Yaohua's heart ached. Her determination just now disappeared in an instant. She hurriedly turned around and wanted to take a look at Master.
She should have noticed it earlier.
Master's mood had fluctuated so much today. He was completely different from his usual self. It was definitely the demonic heart that was causing trouble!
Just as she stepped onto the steps, a bright light rushed towards her.
There was a strange aura mixed in the light.
"Not good, the demonic heart is acting up!" Lu Ran's teeth were chattering. "The God Lord said that if the demonic heart acted up again, I shouldn't hesitate. I should directly report to the God Sovereign and let the gods execute him."
Lu Ran's words made Yaohua's heart sink. The sunlight in the Celestial Realm was originally a bit warm, but at this moment, Yaohua felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Had it really become that serious?
Why didn't Master tell her just now?
The barrier formed by the formation blocked Yaohua's steps. No matter how hard she tried to use her magic, she couldn't break through it.
For a moment, Yaohua was in a complete mess.
Lu Ran stood in front of the barrier, looking like he was about to cry. His feet felt as if they were weighed down by a thousand jun.
He wiped his face and walked outside.
"Lu Ran, don't go!"
Yaohua wanted to break through the barrier and stop Lu Ran at the same time. She was in a dilemma.
"The God Lord is a wise man. He must have entrusted this matter to more than just me," Lu Ran said with a bitter smile. "Little Princess, have you seen Rong Chu since you came here?"
Yaohua's movements froze slightly.
Rong Chu was Master's personal officer. At this time, he should have been guarding the Cangling Hall, but she hadn't seen him at all.
"No, it's not okay," Yaohua said with difficulty, pulling back her wandering thoughts. "Where is Rong Chu? We can't report to the God Sovereign!"
Master had been wise all his life. How could she let others see Master being controlled by the demonic heart?
"There must be another way," Yaohua grabbed Lu Ran's arm. "You must know how to break this formation. Help me. I can suppress the aura of the Heavenly Demons. It will definitely be useful for the demonic heart too!"
Like a dying fire being rekindled, Lu Ran's eyes lit up slightly. "Is that true?"
"Go quickly!"
"Okay!"
He rushed into the Cangling Hall quickly. After a while, Yaohua saw the barrier in front of her disappear.
