The two of them fixed their eyes on the purple silk scarf in his hand.
"This is the silk scarf of Envoy Tu Yang," Yaohua frowned and immediately started to rescue the young divine envoy.
Chongming didn't want her to exhaust her energy. He held her hand and stopped her action.
Then, he took out a pill from his storage space and fed it to the young divine envoy.
After taking the pill, the wounds on the young divine envoy's body healed quickly, and the demonic qi also showed a tendency to fade. The whole person emitted a faint spiritual light, with a struggling and painful look on his face.
"He's fighting against the demonic qi in his body. I'm afraid it'll take a while for him to wake up," Chongming said thoughtfully. "If the Heavenly Demon Clan has really occupied the Celestial Realm, Zhao Wu must have received the news. Do you have a way to contact him?"
Yaohua took out a purple jade token and infused it with spiritual power.
The jade token lit up, and Zhao Wu's smiling voice came from the other end: "What, do you miss me, young master?"
"I have something important to talk about," Yaohua asked directly. "Has the Celestial Realm been occupied by the Demon Clan?"
"Ah?" Zhao Wu was stunned. "I've already returned to the vicinity of the Demon Clan. The people here clearly... Damn it! Zhao Yue actually tricked me! All the Heavenly Demons in the northern part of the Tianhe River are illusions."
The communication was interrupted.
At this moment, the young divine envoy woke up slowly and said anxiously, "Yes, before, the God - Lord had placed informants in all the places where there were Heavenly Demons. But the Heavenly Demons created illusions to deceive the informants and secretly broke through the formation of the Celestial Realm. Please put aside your past grievances and quickly lead the Phoenix Clan to rescue the Celestial Realm."
Yaohua always felt that there were many doubts in this matter: "Even if they broke through the formation of the Celestial Realm, the God - Lord has quite good strength. Why did it come to the point of sending you here for help?"
The young divine envoy was stunned by the question and stammered, unable to say a word.
Seeing this, Yaohua's face turned a bit cold. "What, is it that he, with his God - Lord's airs, refused to take action and just watched the gods in the Immortal Realm suffer, and now wants us to help?"
The young divine envoy's face turned green and then pale. "The God - Lord would never do such a thing! We're just here for help, not for you to insult the God - Lord wantonly!"
A chill welled up in Yaohua's eyes. "But aren't your words self - contradictory? Could it be that he could actually save himself but deliberately put himself in danger and only sent you to ask us for help after we just had a big fight and broke off relations?"
The God - Lord was extremely vain. He would definitely not do such a thing, unless he had other schemes - for example, luring them to lead the Phoenix Clan there and then annihilating them all.
The young divine envoy was rendered speechless by the questions.
Zhao Wu rushed over in a hurry. Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing gloatingly. "The Celestial Realm has indeed fallen. The God - Lord and others have been trapped in the Divine Palace for several days. At this point, I think you, young divine envoy, should stop covering up for the God - Lord. He's just a good - looking but useless person. I'm afraid he's not even as good as my little Phoenix."
Yaohua was stunned. "But although the God - Lord's strength is inferior to Chongming's, he shouldn't be forced to such a state by Zhao Yue, right?"
But Zhao Wu took out a blood - stained konghou. "I picked this up by the Tianhe River."
Yaohua took the konghou and examined it carefully. "This is Envoy Tu Yang's personal item."
The iron - clad evidence left her with no choice but to believe it.
Zhao Wu shrugged. "Zhao Yue deliberately left someone. After I saw through the illusion, he led me to the Celestial Realm. The God - Lord turned that Divine Palace into a tortoise shell. No matter how the people outside challenged him, he wouldn't come out. Zhao Yue got angry and ordered the Heavenly Demons to capture the immortals in front of the palace and humiliate them in every possible way. The methods..."
His face turned a bit green. "They were too dirty and disgusting. I could hardly bear to watch."
The master and the apprentice's faces became more and more solemn. They glanced at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
The God - Lord must be saved!
Zhao Wu had another idea. "At this moment, if you defect to the Demon Clan, it'll be a great merit. Zhao Yue always likes smart and beautiful women like you. He'll definitely treat you well. How about..."
"Don't even think about it!" Yaohua frowned tightly. "The Demon Clan's methods are dirty and cruel. After they occupy the Three Realms, they'll surely do all kinds of things like burning, killing, and looting. They may even use people as livestock feed. We receive the incense from the mortal world and protect the mortal world. We'll never allow the Three Realms to become such a hell."
Zhao Wu tapped her head. "I knew you wouldn't agree, so I stole Zhao Yue's defense map."
The three of them studied the defense map carefully and roughly figured out the current layout of the Celestial Realm.
Yaohua pointed at the defense map. "The Demon Clan is guarding the Heavenly Gate now. We can attack from the weak point on the left side of the Celestial Realm."
"There's no need to be so troublesome," Chongming said thoughtfully. "The Immortal King Wenhua, who is in charge of the formation of the Immortal Realm, has always been on good terms with me. After I broke off relations with the Celestial Realm, he was also angry with the God - Lord and returned to his own clan. If he can help us, we can directly open a passage outside the Immortal Realm without going through the formation."
Yaohua's eyes lit up. "Last time, many immortals left with you. If they know that the Celestial Realm is in trouble and the demonic qi is rising everywhere in the mortal world, they'll surely contribute to the fight against the Demon Clan!"
Chongming nodded. "We shouldn't delay. I'll contact them right away."
He held two fingers to his forehead, murmured silently in his heart, and dozens of paper cranes flew out and went in all directions.
Then, he took out a communication jade token.
On the Penglai Immortal Island, the Immortal King with sea - weed - like wavy hair yawned lazily and said casually, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a thousand years. Why does the noble Immortal King think of me?"
This voice was full of magnetism and a faint charm. Yaohua was almost bewitched and couldn't help being slightly shocked.
Zhao Wu grabbed her sleeve and whispered in her ear, "This is the God of War Chenyu from Penglai. He made great contributions in the great war back then, but he thought the Celestial Realm was too boring and refused the title of Immortal King, so he was demoted to Penglai. He's your master's old lover!"
Yaohua shook off his sleeve and stared at him. "What old lover? Can you talk properly? He's a man!"
Zhao Wu shook his head and sighed. "Can't men fall in love with each other? Back then, he and your master were inseparable, and he clearly stated that he would only follow your master's orders. Your master has kept away from women for so many years and even tried every means to escape his engagement with others. Don't you ever wonder why?"
Yaohua rolled her eyes at him, but there was a bit of uneasiness in her heart. Her eyes couldn't help stealing glances at her master...
Chongming had a cold face and gave Zhao Wu a warning look.
Zhao Wu hid half of his body behind Yaohua. This tall and charming - looking man actually made a pitiful look. "Look, your master doesn't usually get angry because of such things. But when it comes to his old lover, he pays extra attention."
Yaohua felt mixed emotions in her heart, but this wasn't the time to feel sad.
She silently took out the communication token and informed Qingcang of the strange situation in the Celestial Realm.
Hearing her voice, the God of War Chenyu couldn't help getting a bit excited. "Hey, Chongming, I've heard that you've taken in a smart and cute female apprentice. I also have a few male apprentices. How about I bring them all over..."
The communication suddenly stopped.
Chenyu stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
