The White Tiger perked up. "Someone's coming to rescue you? I'll send your consciousness back to your body. Maybe you still have a fighting chance."
Just as Yaohua's consciousness returned to her body, she heard panicked shouts from the well.
A mysterious man in a black robe brutally grabbed the Blue Sparrow and threw her heavily to the ground.
Yaohua couldn't help but shed tears. It was a pity that her body couldn't move. Otherwise, she would surely rush out and fight that Heavenly Demon to the death.
It was her. It was her who had implicated the Blue Sparrow.
"Ah!"
A scream rang out, and an arm was thrown into the Heart - Binding Prison.
The White Tiger said compassionately, "Every time they catch someone who should be executed, they throw them into the well in a cruel way. That's why the resentment in the well is so thick."
At this moment, Zhao Yue's voice rang out. "Breaking both hands is enough. She has a greater use."
...
In Henan Prefecture.
When Chongming opened his eyes, he saw everyone sitting in a circle, looking at him with concern.
"Where's Yaohua?" he asked wearily.
"I'm only capable of saving you," Fairy Yuanzhi said apologetically, holding a teacup.
Chongming's eyes were red - rimmed. He immediately wanted to rush out.
Fairy Yuanzhi sighed. "It's no use. How can you break through the Heavenly Demons' encirclement by yourself? Right now, the area outside Henan Prefecture is filled with demonic qi. This is the only pure land in the Three Realms. Chongming, the task of repelling the Heavenly Demons and restoring the Three Realms lies on you!"
"But how can I leave Yaohua alone in the Heavenly Realm? If I could choose, I'd rather it be her who was rescued instead of me," Chongming growled.
The usually cold and noble God Lord was like a caged beast at this moment. Even though he knew it was a one - way road ahead, he still wanted to die with his beloved.
General Chenyu and the others looked at each other. "Chongming, you're the one who should be most concerned about the overall situation. Why are you like this today..."
Chongming strode outside. The moment he was blocked, demonic qi surged around him.
Everyone stepped back in horror. Someone even exclaimed, "Has the God Lord turned into a demon?"
Chongming held his sword in one hand. Demonic qi coiled around the sword, making a clanging sound. "Yes, I've turned into a demon. How can I lead the Three Realms?"
At this moment, his expression became extremely cold. He had an aura that would kill any god or Buddha in his way. Everyone was shocked and speechless. At the same time, their hearts were filled with despair. If even the God Lord had turned into a demon, what could they do?
Only Fairy Yuanzhi remained calm as ever. "Don't panic. The God Lord's demonic qi is just a mental demon, not the possession of a Heavenly Demon seed. With his ancient godly bloodline to suppress it, it will never cause chaos and harm the world."
General Chenyu also quickly reacted. "I believe in Chongming!"
Chongming's mind and eyes were filled with Yaohua at this moment. He had no intention of dealing with them. He strode outside. Although the others didn't draw their weapons against him, they still instinctively made way for him.
Fairy Yuanzhi suddenly sank her face and shouted, "Chongming, are you going to ignore all sentient beings in the world just for these petty loves? Yaohua is your disciple, but open your eyes and see how many ordinary people in the world are now being toyed with and tortured by the Heavenly Demons? Yaohua's life is precious, but aren't theirs?"
Chongming asked coldly, "Since the Fairy is so benevolent, you must be more suitable than me to be the commander of the three armies."
Fairy Yuanzhi was so angry that she stomped her feet regardless of her status and demeanor. "I'm a god born from the people's prayers for peace. In the Icefield Illusion, I should have been killed by the snow demon and returned to chaos. But now I've been reborn. It shows that the people are in deep trouble and are desperately looking forward to the salvation of the gods."
She waved her hand, and countless images of the people appeared in mid - air. There were people screaming as they were killed by the Heavenly Demons, and there were old people crying in front of the Buddha statues.
It was their prayers for peace and stability that gave Fairy Yuanzhi the power to briefly compete with Zhao Yue and rescue Chongming.
At this moment, the message - transmitting jade token on Chongming's waist moved.
The Blue Sparrow sent a short message: Three days later, rescue Yaohua at the Heavenly River. This is our only chance.
Three days were enough for the blood - water in the Heart - Binding Prison to completely seep into Yaohua's body.
She floated in the well like a blood - corpse.
"It's hopeless," the System said regretfully after a careful assessment. "Host, they're about to come and send you to the Heavenly River to sacrifice the flag. Do you have any last words?"
In these few days, they had tried all kinds of methods, but it was all in vain.
Yaohua stared blankly at her body. "System, after I die, you'll bind to someone else, right?"
"Right," the System's words seemed to contain deep resentment. "The host originally had the ability to distribute food everywhere with the help of this System and unite the monster races to fight against the Heavenly Demons. It's a pity that you always guarded against this System. Next time, this System will find a better host."
Yaohua forced a smile. "Yes, I'm really useless. Before I die, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Do you want me to take care of Chongming?" the System flatly refused. "This favor is too big. I don't want to help."
Yaohua shook her head weakly. "No, I just want you to plant a grove of parasol trees in the Cangling Hall for me, for the sake of our long - time companionship in battle."
If the System was really as great as it claimed, after binding to a new host, it would surely dominate the Three Realms with the new host.
Chongming was so powerful that he should also have a chance of survival.
If he could return to his palace, she hoped that when he saw the parasol trees, he would think of her.
The System readily agreed.
The well - mouth was opened. Yaohua quickly let her consciousness enter her body.
Just as she was being sent to the Heavenly River, Chongming also managed to leave Henan Prefecture and headed alone towards the Heavenly River.
He didn't tell anyone about the Blue Sparrow's message because he knew it might very well be a trap set by the Heavenly Demons.
But even if it was a trap, he would go alone to rescue Yaohua!
At this moment, a figure appeared and blocked his way.
It was the God Master.
He was neatly dressed and still looked as upright and solemn as before. Only the contempt in his eyes ruined his noble and mysterious aura. "The great God Lord is now full of demonic qi because of love affairs. He even wants to save someone regardless of the safety of the Three Realms. Chongming, your current appearance really disgusts me."
Chongming was a little surprised to see that he could come out alone. "You escaped from the Heavenly Realm?"
But soon, he noticed that the God Master's body was also surrounded by demonic qi, and there was a Heavenly Demon's mark on the God Master's wrist.
The God Master's face changed slightly. He covered his wrist with his sleeve. "Humph, I only needed a few words to deceive Zhao Yue into withdrawing her troops from the Heavenly Realm to attack the God Lord's Tomb. I took the opportunity to retake the Heavenly Realm. What, only you can be a spy, and I can't?"
