Chapter 15: Luohu?
In an unnamed region, the tranquil sky suddenly violently distorted, and a surge of purple-black Spiritual Power emerged, so dense that it almost turned into a cloud layer.
Silently, a massive energy ripple, like a surging tide, swept crazily, and then an enormous crack abruptly appeared.
Two figures with vastly different auras flashed out of the crack.
One was the towering Luohu with four eyes and four arms; the other was a Void Demon gravely injured.
"It's good that you woke up in time, or else we might both have been done for this time," the Void Demon glanced around the surroundings and said with relief, "This place is Ning State territory, far from Qing State, absolutely safe.
Ning State is where Evil Soul resides; we should find him first. The matters of Qing State, we can discuss later."
The person at the helm of the Netherworld of Ning State is called Evil Soul.
Luohu's gaze was evasive, his thoughts unknown.
"Luohu?" Seeing that Luohu gave no response, the Void Demon called out his name in confusion again.
"You're not lightly injured, can you still move conveniently?" called out by the Void Demon, Luohu then came back to his senses and suddenly asked with concern.
"The situation isn't very good, and moreover, casting a state-level spatial displacement, considering the condition of my current body, the burden was still too great. Bringing you from Qing State to Ning State almost exhausted all my strength, but moving about shouldn't be too much of an issue," the Void Demon didn't think too much and stated frankly.
Luohu nodded, "Then I'm reassured."
"We mustn't delay, let's first find Evil Soul, settle down for now, wait until my injuries have recovered, then we will plan how to kill our way back to Qing State. The total destruction of our headquarters this time is a serious blow to our strength," the Void Demon decided, his eyes full of darkness and vengeance.
"If we don't avenge this, how can I calm the lingering frustration in my heart, Pangyang, you just wait!" the Void Demon gnashed his teeth.
"You're right," the hoarse reply of Luohu reached the Void Demon's ears, "but let me take this revenge for you."
"No need, I must personally tear off his head..." the Void Demon's words stopped abruptly halfway.
Puh! Puh! Puh! Puh!
He felt an unbearable piercing pain in his chest. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking down at his chest in disbelief.
Four ferocious arms entered from his back, directly piercing through his body, then stabbing out from his chest.
Those were indeed Luohu's four arms.
In Luohu's hands were his internal organs; under the Void Demon's eyes about to split with fury, Luohu sneered and crushed all the organs into mincemeat in front of him.
Countless black Demonic Qi surged from Luohu's hands, instantly enveloping the Void Demon.
"Luohu, why would you do this?" a chill named Han Yi rose in the Void Demon's heart.
"No, you're not Luohu!" suddenly thinking of something, he exclaimed in horror, "Who are you?"
The patterns on Luohu's greenish face flashed with a dark glow, ignoring the Void Demon's questions completely as his strength in his hands intensified again.
Rip!
Under the desperate gaze of the Void Demon, Luohu brutally tore him into pieces, scattering his remains.
Dark-purple blood splattered out, sprinkling on the ground, and the once lush grass withered and shriveled up instantly.
The Void Demon, which had brought chaos to Qing State for a thousand years, had fallen—slain by Luohu, one of its own kind!
"No, you're mistaken." Only after the Void Demon's death did Luohu finally gaze at the deep purple blood of the Void Demon that stained his hands, his voice cold and emotionless, "I am indeed Luohu, but not the Luohu you imagine....."
Waves of Demonic Qi surged from Luohu's body, turning into a mass of Demon Fire that instantly engulfed the Void Demon's remains, burning and disintegrating them.
Having dealt with the aftermath, Luohu, without a backward glance, transformed into a dark green shadow and disappeared into the horizon.

Qingqiu.
Little deer Yaoyao blinked her large eyes several times at Lu Qingshan.
"Yaoyao, where is Mimi? Why didn't she come with you?" Qingqiu Mountain Master's tone was drawn out, warm and gentle, like a kind grandfather speaking to his granddaughter.
At the Mountain Master's question, Yaoyao suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit. She began to flail in a fluster, letting out distressed noises, appearing very anxious.
As little deer conveyed her message, the smile gradually faded from the Mountain Master's face, and the aura he exuded started to grow heavy.
Lu Qingshan, who did not understand the deer's language, also realized that something bad must have occurred.
After a while, Yaoyao stopped relaying her message, her watery eyes filled with expectations as she looked pitifully at the Mountain Master.
"I've told you before, Mimi is flighty; you should keep a close eye on him!" The Mountain Master's voice became very stern, "I'll look for him now, hoping he hasn't rashly left Qingqiu."
The next moment, the Mountain Master's face gradually disappeared from the peach tree.
A mysterious yet vibrant essence spread quickly from the peach tree, like rippling waves, sweeping over every plant and leaf on Qingqiu Mountain, expanding outward continuously.
Under the influence of this mystery, all the touched flora trembled slightly, revealing their instinctive joy.
Because they felt an abundant vitality that spurred their growth and prolonged their lives.
Shortly thereafter, the strength of Heaven and Earth had already enveloped the whole vast mountain range, sparing no corner.
But still, it was all in vain.
The Mountain Master retracted the vitality that had enveloped all the plants, and his face re-emerged from the peach tree.
Facing Yaoyao's hopeful gaze, the Mountain Master sighed lightly, "I haven't found him; Mimi must have left Qingqiu."
Upon hearing the Mountain Master's words, the next moment, a mist appeared in Yaoyao's bright eyes, pitiful and adorable.
"Yi yi ya ya!" After thinking for a bit, Yaoyao, as if she had made up her mind, said something to the Mountain Master.
"No, you can't leave here, it's too dangerous outside."
"Yi yi ya ya!"
"No means no. Those few clumsy spells of yours, what use could they possibly be?" The Mountain Master scolded, his tone rising.
The little deer seemed to become unhappy after being scolded by the Mountain Master and, kicking her little legs, prepared to leave the area.
But as she leapt into the air, dozens of pink peach blossom petals fell from the peach tree, enveloping and pulling the little deer back.
Constrained by the peach blossom petals and returning to the ground, the little deer rolled around on the ground in extreme frustration, unable to escape the bind of the petals.
