Looking at the smiling God Lord, Yaohua immediately reacted.
The God Lord didn't repent after obtaining the memories of the future. Instead, he was seeking revenge in a different way!
He had long harbored hatred for Chongming. After getting the memories of the future and feeling ashamed of his future self, seeing that Chongming was now the Demon Lord, he came up with this vicious plan. Under the guise of a victory celebration, he poisoned the wine and tricked the three of them into drinking it.
Chongming was now in Zhao Wu's body, with relatively weak cultivation. And as the Demon Lord, he accidentally fell into the God Lord's trap!
Watching Chongming show signs of pain and being at others' mercy, the God Lord laughed with great pleasure. "The Demon Lord is not a high - ranking divine lord. He deserves to be despised and humiliated. Everyone in the Three Realms has the right to exterminate him. Guards, drag this wretch out and behead him!"
Yaohua stepped in front of Chongming and gritted her teeth. "No!"
"Oh? Why not? Do you want to shield the Demon Lord too?" The God Lord's tone became severe. "Yaohua, you should think it through. You're the daughter of the Phoenix Clan. Although our engagement was broken before, I'm magnanimous enough to forgive you and even plan to betroth you to a divine lord. But if you decide to protect this Demon Lord today, you'll be labeled as colluding with the Demon Lord. Your reputation will be ruined, and you'll become a pariah in the Three Realms!"
There was cruelty in his smile. "Moreover, your relatives will be implicated. The Phoenix Clan will be laughed at by the Three Realms for colluding with the Demon Lord. Instead, it's better to marry the current divine lord obediently. What do you think?"
Yaohua couldn't reveal the truth about time - travel. Looking at the God Lord's arrogant smile, she was filled with hatred that almost dripped blood. How could she have been so careless and fallen into this despicable man's scheme!
The heavenly soldiers and generals didn't know the ins and outs of the matter. They had already raised their weapons and were watching them warily. A kind - hearted immortal advised, "Princess Yaohua, you'd better not meddle in this matter. You're about to marry the divine lord. This is a great joy!"
"That's right. The Demon Lord should be exterminated by everyone. You'd better not get mixed up with this guy."
"Alas, I wonder if you really have an affair with this Demon Lord. If there's any affection between you, you should cut it off as soon as possible. Killing this Demon Lord is a good decision, so as to avoid any talk about a phoenix marrying a Demon Lord."
These heavenly soldiers and generals would probably never know that the Demon Lord they were now pointing at and laughing at was actually a divine lord with boundless merits.
Sometimes, good and bad were so ridiculous. The truly vicious person was high - and - mighty and self - righteous, while the one with boundless merits had to endure schemes and slurs.
Yaohua looked around, feeling powerless and indignant. "Even if you laugh at and discriminate against him because of his identity as the Demon Lord, didn't he fight against the demons with us just now? Isn't that a meritorious deed?"
She pointed at several figures among the heavenly soldiers and generals. "You, you, and you. He saved you during the battle just now. How can you turn a blind eye now!"
Those people lowered their heads in shame, but immediately there were objections. "Even if you've just made military merits, you can't reverse the truth. He's the Demon Lord!"
"That's right. Even if he fought against the demons with us just now, he was attacking his own kind. As expected of a Demon Lord, he has no affection at all. He's extremely cold - blooded and can even attack his own people."
As if to cover up their own moral flaws, the heavenly soldiers and generals became more and more excited. Their unfriendly gazes were like blades, cutting towards Yaohua and Chongming.
Someone suggested, "I think Princess Yaohua clearly has an affair with the Demon Lord. She's not worthy of marrying the divine lord at all."
"I suggest executing her directly! With her character, if we forgive her today, what if she colludes with the Demon Lord in the future?"
Yaohua clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug deeply into her palms. She never thought that in this time - space turbulence, the one who finally pushed them into such a desperate situation was neither Mu Hua nor Jiang Mo, but the God Lord.
Suddenly, she laughed, and her laughter was full of desolation. "Good, good. You really have a good plan. You knew I'd save him, so you can just ignore our military merits and instead put a big hat on us for colluding with the Demon Lord."
In this way, the God Lord could not only avenge himself, but also create a perfect reputation for himself. He could also get rid of the two of them to prevent them from threatening his status.
The God Lord said proudly, "I'm the God Lord, ruling the Three Realms. My vision and strategies are beyond your comparison. Under my leadership this time, we successfully repelled the attack of the demons and defended the Three Realms!"
Saying this, he couldn't help laughing more happily. He raised his hands and his body floated in the air, looking down at Yaohua and the others from above. "And you! You're actually eager to shield the Demon Lord just because you have military merits. Yaohua, I was magnanimous and didn't want to punish you. But if you insist on protecting this Demon Lord, I'll have to execute you as well."
Yaohua was so angry that her head was dizzy. For a moment, she couldn't think of a solution. This time, the God Lord had foreseen the future in advance and would surely gain fame and status through his schemes. As for whether Mu Hua would become a disaster in the Three Realms, he simply didn't care.
All he cared about was his own fame and status, and perhaps Tu Yang. The last time he colluded with the demons to get rid of Chongming. What's wrong with colluding with Mu Hua this time for his own fame and status?
But what about them? Were they going to watch the Three Realms fall? Was the hard - won peaceful world going to be destroyed because of the God Lord's selfish desires? No, she was not willing!
At this time, a hand gently tugged at her corner.
"Zhao Wu" smiled at her. "It's okay. Let them take me away. They won't be able to kill me. And I'm innocent. The innocent will prove their innocence."
Yaohua's eyes were moist. "How could I just watch you be handed over to him? If you fall into his hands, you don't know how many punishments you'll suffer. He's a madman, a complete madman!"
The God Lord's face changed, and he shouted angrily, "Yaohua, I think you're the one who's crazy. Since you insist on colluding with the Demon Lord, then I'll—"
"Wait." Chongming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly struck and knocked Yaohua unconscious.
He exchanged a look with "Zhao Wu", and everything was understood without words.
The God Lord smiled half - heartedly. "Divine Lord Chongming, what do you mean?"
"Yaohua is young and was temporarily bewitched by the Demon Lord. I'll surely educate her well later. You don't need to worry, God Lord." Chongming said calmly. "As for this Demon Lord, execute him."
