Chongming was the tenth unlucky one.
At this moment, cheers came from not far away. "My Lord, we've found a way out!"
Yaohua couldn't help but feel even more puzzled. The key had already been destroyed. Was it that easy to get out of the Divine Lord's Tomb?
Although the words of the system couldn't be fully trusted, she didn't want her master to get out so soon at this moment.
She walked up to the two sisters and asked curiously, "What's the way out?"
"The Divine Lord sent a message, saying that there's a teleportation stone here. As long as it responds to the one in his hand from afar, we can get out." Sulian explained.
Yaohua nodded. She took Yaoyao and pretended to go aside to look for the teleportation stone. In fact, she whispered instructions to Yaoyao, "Later, you tell Father that you've found the teleportation stone and lead them to the farthest place possible."
Yaoyao agreed without knowing why.
After the figures of several people disappeared, she immediately waved a spell. All the remaining evil qi in the Divine Tomb gathered and turned into a gray - black arrow, shooting towards the tomb of the former Divine Lord.
Boom!
The whirlpool trembled and began to shatter bit by bit.
But at this moment, an incredulous voice suddenly rang out, "What are you doing?"
Yaohua turned her head in surprise and saw Yaoyao with a dejected face. Her expression froze involuntarily.
Chongming strode over, his eyes filled with anger. "This whirlpool... There's actually the aura of the former Divine Lord in this whirlpool. Could this be another exit of the Divine Lord's Tomb? How could you be so willful?"
"I'm not being willful." Yaohua looked at the two sisters beside her and lashed out a spiritual qi whip to stop them.
She pulled Chongming aside and wanted to explain in detail, but was directly thrown off.
The mark on Chongming's hand kept flashing, filled with the former Divine Lord's scolding words against Yaohua.
His face couldn't help but turn darker and darker. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was full of disappointment and pain. "Handan said that you were dissatisfied with the Divine Lord and had selfish motives. You might very well ruin this operation. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."
Yaohua never expected that he would strike so hard. When she was thrown to the ground, her palm rubbed against the pebbles on the ground, causing a sharp pain.
Enduring the pain, she said, "Master, please listen to my explanation. I just—"
"What's there to explain!" Chongming roared. "The former Divine Lord only had a wisp of divine soul left in the tomb. If I hadn't returned in time after being reminded by Handan, the former Divine Lord might have been killed by you. If this were in the Heavenly Realm, you would deserve to die a hundred times."
Yaohua was stunned by the roar. She had never seen Chongming so angry with her. He didn't even want to listen to her explanation and just kept scolding her.
But what had she done wrong?
She silently endured Chongming's anger. Her hanging hair covered her expression until Chongming coldly asked, "Do you know your mistake?"
She murmured, "I don't."
Before he could get angry, she calmly said, "I entered the tomb of the former Divine Lord before you. I heard with my own ears that he conspired with several ancient gods to use you as a host. That's why I wanted to destroy the tomb."
Naturally, Chongming didn't believe it. "How could the former Divine Lord..."
"Master, you can take a look at this." Yaohua took out a memory - recording stone.
Chongming watched the scenes played in the memory - recording stone. Although he couldn't believe it, he knew that Yaohua wouldn't lie.
His pupils shrank slightly, extremely incredulous.
"And this." Yaohua thought for a while and took out another stone, something she had taken from the tomb.
The tomb was empty. The only thing on the ground was this stone.
Chongming took the stone and infused spiritual power into it according to his memory. Immediately, the shadow of a classic appeared on it.
This was exactly the method of recording books created by the former Divine Lord. Ordinary people would never notice it. If Yaohua hadn't wanted to take something as evidence, she wouldn't have picked up a stone from the ground.
Yaohua leaned over to take a look and found that the classic recorded the method the system had just mentioned.
Since childhood, he had been raised by the former Divine Lord. He had always been instilled with the idea of taking the well - being of all sentient beings as his own responsibility, following the Heavenly Dao, preserving the Heavenly Principle and eliminating his own desires. But now, everything the former Divine Lord had done made his belief collapse!
Demonic qi quietly escaped around him, and he was on the verge of losing control.
"My Lord!" Handan broke free from the restraint and cried out sadly, "You evil woman, what on earth are you doing?"
Yaohua quickly supported Chongming. "Master, calm your mind and focus. Don't be confused by the demonic qi."
Yaoyao ran over quickly, her eyes full of worry.
But there was still demonic qi in Chongming's body. Now, stimulated, he could no longer maintain his original mind.
Even worse, the evil qi from all directions seemed to be attracted and rushed towards them rapidly.
A whirlpool of evil qi gradually formed beside Chongming, and the evil qi gradually turned into demonic qi.
"No good!" Handan said anxiously. "My Lord is about to fall into the demonic barrier. If his divine mind is completely trapped by the demonic qi, he will be lost in chaos forever until his mind is eroded by the demonic qi and he becomes a killing machine that does all kinds of evil!"
Yaoyao was extremely worried. "Then what should we do?"
"The only way now is for me to enter his spiritual sea and wake him up." Yaohua solemnly took out a stick of incense from her space. "Yaoyao, you light the incense outside. If I haven't woken up when the incense burns out, you must wake me up immediately."
Having said that, she pinched a spell and her soul sneaked into Chongming's spiritual sea.
There were countless colorful bubbles in the spiritual sea. Just as she was about to take a closer look, she was sucked into the largest colorful bubble in the center.
The grass was green, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant.
She opened her eyes and saw red candles burning brightly in front of her. Chongming, wearing wedding clothes, lifted the red veil and looked at her with a smile.
In the candlelight, his coldness and arrogance had all turned into deep affection. Yaohua couldn't help but be stunned. "Mas... Master..."
Chongming flicked her forehead with his finger. "On our wedding night, are you still going to call me Master?"
Yaohua was dazed. "Wed... wedding?"
Wasn't Master supposed to be troubled by the matter of the former Divine Lord now? Why was his spiritual sea full of scenes of marrying her?
This didn't make sense!
Seeing this, Chongming's expression dimmed a bit. "I know you're not willing. I won't force you in the future. I just hope that slowly, your whole heart will be placed on me."
Having said that, he was about to turn around and leave. Yaohua quickly grabbed him. "Master, this is not our wedding night. Wake up quickly. Don't let your mind be eroded by the demonic qi!"
Chongming looked at her in confusion, and the sealed memories seemed to be on the verge of breaking free.
Yaohua was full of expectation. Just as she was about to speak again, her vision blurred, and she was back to the moment when the veil was just lifted.
She tried many times to untie Chongming's heart knot, but once it involved the former Divine Lord, she would be forced back to the moment when she first entered Chongming's spiritual sea.
In the end, she had no choice but to follow Chongming's dream and no longer resist.
