Now that Chongming was sealed in Mount Danxue, Yaohua didn't want him to worry about such trifles anymore.
She skipped this topic and instead asked, "What do you mean by mentioning Lei Mengze? I haven't noticed anything strange here."
Chongming explained, "There's something in Lei Mengze calling me. I suspect it's also the power of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon."
"Another appearance of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon!" Yaohua couldn't help getting a bit irate.
Chongming comforted her, "Don't be angry. You need to communicate with Chenyu to find a way to subdue the power of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon."
Yaohua couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Will you be sealed in this mountain forever?"
Chongming sighed softly, "Given the situation, there's no other choice."
Yaohua asked, "Is there any way to get you out earlier?"
Chongming replied, "The power in my body is too turbulent now. Once the seal is lifted and I appear, I'll directly fall into the demonic path. But if the other powers of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon are eliminated or the seal on them is strengthened, I may be able to get out of here."
Yaohua nodded, "I'll surely do my best to eliminate or seal the power of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon!"
Chongming was silent for a while, "During the battle before, you suddenly lost your usual spirit. Were you controlled by some strange power?"
Yaohua quickly replied, "Yes. It exerted all its strength to control my body, and now it has fallen into a deep slumber."
Chongming mused, "Its purpose should be to seize the power of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon to strengthen itself. When its power is too strong, it can directly control you."
Yaohua nodded, "Indeed. I've decided that I'll never let it have a chance to absorb any demonic energy again."
Chongming pondered for a moment, "Then you should strengthen the seal in Lei Mengze again."
At this moment, a streak of light came from the horizon.
Tu Yang landed in Lei Mengze, "How's the situation of the seal here?"
Just as Yaohua was about to answer, she felt a wave of demonic energy coming from the central marsh of Lei Mengze.
Tu Yang took out the communication jade token seriously and reported the situation here to the God - Lord.
The God - Lord said upon hearing this, "Strengthen the seal quickly. Don't let the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon have a chance to break out."
Guided by Chongming, Yaohua cooperated with the God - Lord and others to secretly seal Lei Mengze tightly.
After they were done, Chongming mused, "The third - party power in your body is rather troublesome. You need to ask Chenyu what to do."
Without delay, Yaohua went to Henan Mansion.
Chenyu was in the lake, comfortably showing his original form. His tail glistened with colorful luster under the sunlight.
Seeing Yaohua, he asked with a smile, "Little Phoenix, what brings you here?"
Yaohua explained her purpose, "There's a third - party power in my body. I don't know how to seal it."
Chenyu frowned, waved for her to come over, then placed his hand on her wrist and scanned her body.
He pondered for a moment and drove his spiritual power to form a seal in her body, "It's done."
"Is it that simple?" Yaohua was a bit incredulous.
Chenyu nodded, "Yes, it's that simple."
Yaohua tried to tell him, "There's a system in my body. It can grow many kinds of food crops."
In the past, once she wanted to talk about the system, her voice would be automatically muted and she couldn't say a word.
But now she could say it smoothly, which meant the system was really sealed.
Chenyu asked curiously, "Food crops? No wonder you can take out so many things. So, this system is actually a good thing?"
Yaohua hesitated, "I thought so at first, but it actually absorbs demonic energy to replenish its power."
"What?" Chenyu's expression became solemn. "Only demonic cultivators in this world can absorb demonic energy as power."
Yaohua thought for a moment, took out a small paper crane and told Chongming about the system.
Chongming suspected, "Could this so - called system be the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon?"
"What?" Yaohua was greatly shocked. Thinking that the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon might be lurking in her body, she couldn't help feeling extremely scared.
At this moment, a small paper crane flew over crookedly.
Yaohua opened it and found it was a message from Yanling: Sister, come back quickly. We're holding a funeral for Father.
Seeing this message, Yaohua's mood became extremely heavy. The relaxed mood she had just felt because of the seal was instantly overshadowed.
In the Phoenix Clan, everyone was in mourning. The coffin was placed in the mourning hall, and paper money was flying everywhere.
Yaohua walked slowly into the mourning hall. Looking at the coffin, she felt a strong sense of unreality. How could Father suddenly die?
Thinking of this, her tears flowed uncontrollably. She sobbed and murmured, "Father, please wake up. Don't play tricks on us anymore."
But the person in the coffin would never respond to her again.
Besides the members of the Phoenix Clan, there were also people from other clans coming to mourn in the mourning hall.
The patriarch of the Dragon Clan sighed, "Yaohua, now that the Phoenix Clan has no leader, as the clan - leader, you should take on this responsibility."
Yaohua nodded with red eyes, "Thank you, Uncle. I will."
At this moment, an uninvited guest came to the mourning hall.
Yanling cursed, "What are you doing here?!"
Yaohua turned around and saw Zhao Wu standing at the door of the mourning hall.
She couldn't help asking coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Seeing her tear - stained face, Zhao Wu couldn't help taking a few steps forward, trying to wipe away her tears.
But Yaohua stepped back defensively and said coldly, "Please respect yourself!"
Zhao Wu was very hurt, "How can you be so cold to me? Even if you don't agree to our marriage contract, can't we even be friends?"
Yaohua sneered, "Friends? I don't have friends who would stop me from avenging my father by killing his murderer!"
If it weren't for Zhao Wu, she would have killed the Green Sparrow and avenged her father by now!
Zhao Wu knew he was in the wrong, "What can I do to make you stop being angry with me?"
Yaohua said coldly, "I want you to come to me with the Green Sparrow's head. Can you do it?"
Zhao Wu was speechless, "I protected the Green Sparrow for my own reasons. I can agree to any other requests except those related to him."
Yaohua stretched out her hand, making a gesture of invitation, "Then please leave quickly. You're not welcome here!"
Zhao Wu felt very hurt. Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly called back by Yaohua.
Yaohua asked, "Do you know how to deal with the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon?"
Zhao Wu thought for a moment and replied, "The weak point of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon lies in his eyes."
Yaohua bowed, "Thank you."
A glint of light suddenly appeared in Zhao Wu's eyes, "Have you forgiven me?"
Yaohua said coldly, "I bowed to you just out of courtesy. You sheltered the murderer who killed my father. I'll never forgive you in my life!"
