Yaohua looked at Chongming, covered in blood, with great distress. "Put him down quickly! Chongming just accidentally fell into the demonic path. He hasn't done any evil deeds."
The Purple Pole Great Emperor didn't agree. "As long as one becomes a demon, there will surely come a time when they lose control and bring disaster to the common people. It's just not shown yet. Don't be deceived by his appearance."
"Very well said!"
At this moment, a figure slowly walked out from not far away. It was none other than Mu Hua the Boy.
Mu Hua knelt on one knee in salute to the Purple Pole Great Emperor and then said, "I've already set up a cage in the Purple Pole State, waiting for Your Majesty to lock up the demon in it."
No matter how much Yaohua protested, in the end, Chongming was locked up in the cage.
She returned to the flower bushes in a daze. Yaoyao asked worriedly, "Mother, what should we do now?"
Yaohua thought for a moment. "Naturally, we have to save your father."
"I have a way," the system said. "This Moonlight Flower has another use. It can be used to make pills that can put the Great Emperor into a coma. As long as you can find a way to make the Great Emperor take the pill, you can steal the key to the cage and release Chongming."
Yaohua decided to give it a try. After all, there was no better way at the moment.
She busily tinkered with the Moonlight Flowers. Then she put the refined pills into the wine and replaced the wine that the Purple Pole Great Emperor usually drank.
Soon, the Purple Pole Great Emperor fell into a deep sleep. Taking this opportunity, she stole the key and headed for the Purple Pole State.
But when she arrived, she only saw a burst of demonic light shooting into the sky. In the demonic qi lingering in the air, a figure gradually emerged. It was actually Chongming!
At this moment, his eyes were blood - red, and his whole body exuded the intimidating aura of a Demon Lord, making it hard for anyone to breathe. The power of the Mysterious Demon had completely taken control of him.
Yaohua saw Mu Hua the Boy on the ground and felt a surge of anger. "What have you done again?!"
Mu Hua the Boy clapped his hands and laughed. "I just triggered the power of the Mysterious Demon in his body."
"Just that?" Yaohua angrily slapped him. "Do you know how much harm a celestial venerable turning into a demon can bring to the common people in the world?"
At this time, the system suddenly prompted, "Host, hurry up and follow. Chongming is about to leave."
As soon as the voice fell, Chongming turned into a stream of light and flew away.
Yaohua was worried that he would bring disaster to the common people and quickly followed.
Finally, Chongming came to a mountain ridge full of forests. The power of the Mysterious Demon seemed to be summoned and kept surging in the mountains and forests.
"So the last place where the power of the Mysterious Demon was sealed is Kunlun Ridge!" Yaohua finally realized and wanted to stop Chongming from continuing to absorb the power of the Mysterious Demon.
But Chongming ignored her and struck her with a palm. She was sent flying, spitting out blood, and lost her fighting ability. Her heart was filled with grief.
She lay on the ground with difficulty, her pupils blank. But it was the system that excitedly took control of her seriously - injured body and stopped her from continuing to stop Chongming...
After Chongming obtained the power of the Mysterious Demon, a storm of demonic qi swept around him.
The system laughed excitedly. "Host, after waiting for so many years, I can finally leave!"
"What are you going to do?" Yaohua asked.
From the system's words, she finally pieced together the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the system was actually the last wisp of the soul of the Nine - Heavens Mysterious Demon.
After leaving Yaohua, it would possess Chongming. By then, Chongming would be the reborn Nine - Heavens Mysterious Demon!
The moment the seal of the Mysterious Demon was opened, several other shining divine personalities also appeared. Mu Hua the Boy took the other divine personalities with lightning speed.
To stop the system, Yaohua could only try to snatch the last part of the power of the Mysterious Demon, but her body was still controlled by it, and she felt powerless.
At a critical moment, Yaoyao appeared. She stopped Yaohua, who was controlled by the power of the Mysterious Demon, rushed into the demonic qi, and swallowed the power of the Mysterious Demon in one gulp.
Then she transformed back into her original form and let out a shrill phoenix cry. As the phoenix cry sounded, the power of the Mysterious Demon in Chongming and Yaohua's bodies was gradually peeled off, and most of it was swallowed by her.
The system was shocked. "This - how could it be!"
After swallowing this demonic power, she looked extremely haggard and her body fell straight down.
Yaohua also regained control of her body and quickly caught her. "Yaoyao, are you okay?"
Yaoyao said weakly, "Mother, after I woke up, I also learned my origin. I'm actually the last remaining soul of the Phoenix Ancestor between heaven and earth, parasitized in a dead phoenix egg. I was born to devour demonic qi. Now quickly seal me, or I won't be able to control the outburst of demonic qi."
Although Yaohua was a bit reluctant, this was not the time to be indecisive. She quickly formed hand seals and sealed Yaoyao.
But just as the seal was about to be completed, a spiritual light suddenly struck and interrupted the seal.
Yaohua suddenly turned her head and saw that the immortals from the Celestial Realm had arrived.
The God - Lord didn't care about her at all and directly attacked Yaoyao.
Yaohua wanted to stop him, but her body floated uncontrollably. She was captured and taken to the side of the Purple Pole Great Emperor.
"Let me go!" she glared angrily.
The Purple Pole Great Emperor sighed. "Yaohua, now most of the demonic power has been eaten by that little phoenix. As long as we can eliminate it, the power of the Mysterious Demon will completely disappear. Isn't that good?"
Yaohua was extremely anxious. "But as long as we seal it, it can slowly absorb and digest the power of the Mysterious Demon!"
"The waiting time will be too long, and it's easy for something to go wrong," the Purple Pole Great Emperor patiently explained to her.
Yaohua watched as the attacks got closer and closer, and Yaoyao lying on the ground without any power to resist. Her heart was like being stabbed by a knife. "Just because something might go wrong, you're going to kill the hero who devoured the power of the Mysterious Demon?!"
Hearing the commotion here, the God - Lord said righteously, "Eliminating the evil demons is of great importance. It's inevitable to sacrifice one or two lives."
Yaohua laughed bitterly, and her laughter was full of sarcasm. "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let her devour the power of the Mysterious Demon. Instead, I should have let the power of the Mysterious Demon rule the mortal world! At that time, maybe you would have regarded it as a hero and worshiped it, instead of trying to kill it like this."
Just as the God - Lord was about to eliminate Yaoyao and Yaohua closed her eyes in desolation and helplessness, a burst of demonic qi suddenly struck and blocked his attack.
Because the power of the Mysterious Demon had faded, Chongming's self - will had awakened!
Yaohua heard the exclamations from all around. She opened her eyes in disbelief and just saw Chongming flying over to save Yaoyao.
Tears streamed down Yaoyao's eyes. "Thank you, Father."
Chongming gently wiped away her tears and left with her.
The God - Lord, the Purple Pole Great Emperor and the others were extremely angry and annoyed.
Yaohua let out a sigh of relief, but the system said sarcastically in her mind, "What's the use of saving her now? Those immortals will surely not let Yaoyao go. Instead of letting Yaoyao be sealed or killed, it's better to let her absorb the power of the Mysterious Demon in her body and directly fall into the demonic path."
