"Who are you? How do you know our plan?" I suppressed my unease and asked sharply. The man in black let out a cold laugh and slowly removed his hat, revealing a stranger's face. "Who I am is not important; what matters is that I know how to completely eliminate the demon within Du Ming." He paused, "But the opportunity is fleeting. The demon's weakness does not always exist; it requires specific time and conditions to take effect."
A glint of cold light flashed in Du Ming's eyes. "What exactly do you mean?" The man in black ignored Du Ming's hostility and continued, "Three days from now is the night of the full moon, the best time to seal the demon. But the location is deep within the Misty Forest in the far north."
The Misty Forest! My heart sank; it was notorious in the Cultivation World for being perilous, shrouded in mist year-round, filled with hidden dangers. A moment's carelessness could lead to getting lost or even losing one's life. "Why are you telling us this?" I asked warily.
"Because only I can help you," the man in black said firmly. "I will take you to the Misty Forest, but you must agree to one condition." He looked at Du Ming. "I want you to promise me that after the demon is eliminated, you will help me with something."
Du Ming remained silent, merely staring coldly at him. I knew he was weighing the pros and cons. Although the man's proposal was fraught with unknown risks, it was also our only chance. If we missed this opportunity, we might never find a way to seal the demon again.
"Alright, I agree," Du Ming finally responded to the man's condition, his tone resolute.
The Misty Forest was indeed as notorious as rumored; as soon as we stepped in, everything turned white and hazy, making it impossible to see even a hand's breadth in front of us. An eerie aura mixed with the mist made one feel uneasy.
"Be careful; this mist is strange," I whispered to Du Ming while extending my spiritual sense to probe our surroundings. However, my spiritual sense felt like it was trapped in cotton, unable to penetrate this layer of fog.
We proceeded cautiously, taking each step with great care. After an unknown amount of time, the scenery before us suddenly changed. The desolate forest vanished, replaced by a peach orchard filled with birdsong and fragrant blossoms. Peach flowers bloomed profusely, pink petals falling like rain—beautiful enough to take one's breath away.
"This place..." Alarm bells rang in my mind; this was definitely not a good omen. Sure enough, Du Ming also halted, his gaze icy as he scanned the surroundings. "An illusion!"
As soon as he spoke, the scenery shifted again. This time we found ourselves inside a magnificent palace. Soft lighting illuminated exquisite decorations, and elegantly dressed maidens moved gracefully among them; everything felt so real.
I even caught a whiff of delicious food. Turning around, I saw a table covered with a brocade tablecloth filled with delicacies that seemed to invite me to sit down. Instinctively wanting to approach it, I was suddenly pulled back by Du Ming.
"Don't move!" he hissed sharply, his eyes flashing dangerously. "This is all fake; it's an attempt by the demon to confuse us!"
At that moment, a chilling laughter echoed throughout the palace. "Hahaha, Du Ming, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Following that, several dark figures descended from above, surrounding us completely. Their presence was powerful and malevolent; they were clearly not friendly.
My heart sank; it seemed that the real battle was just beginning...
I summoned my Silver Needle; golden light flashed as I pushed back the shadowy figures before me. Although these minions of the demon were formidable, they couldn't gain an advantage against both me and Du Ming working together for now. However, just when we thought victory was assured, a violent tremor shook beneath our feet.
"Not good!" Du Ming's expression changed as he grabbed my hand tightly. "It's a trap!"
Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly collapsed beneath us, and both Du Ming and I fell into darkness without warning.
When I regained my senses, I found myself trapped with Du Ming in a sealed space. There were no exits; the walls were covered with bizarre runes that emitted a chilling aura.
"Damn it, we've fallen into a trap!" Du Ming slammed his fist against the wall but only dislodged a few stones.
I forced myself to calm down and carefully observed our surroundings. Suddenly, my gaze fell upon a stone platform in the center of the space where something seemed to be placed.
As we approached for a closer look, we discovered it was actually a crystal ball. The crystal ball emitted a faint glow and appeared to seal something within.
At that moment, the crystal ball suddenly lit up, and an eerie voice echoed throughout the space: "Welcome to my cage, Du Ming and Guo Lingxi."
Suddenly, a vague figure appeared in the crystal ball. The figure was tall and imposing, with a cruel smile on its face—it was the Demon God!
"You must be wondering why I went to such lengths to bring you here," the Demon God's voice was filled with mockery. "I don't mind telling you, I not only want to rule the Cultivation World, but I also want to destroy the human realm! And you will be the sacrifices in my plan!"
The Demon God's words struck us like a bolt from the blue; both Du Ming and I were stunned. We had anticipated the Demon God's ambitious nature, but we never expected him to want to annihilate the human realm!
"You will never succeed!" Du Ming shouted angrily, swinging his fist at the crystal ball. However, his attack seemed to hit cotton; it couldn't shake the crystal ball even slightly.
"Useless, Du Ming! In this space, I am the master!" The Demon God's voice was filled with triumph. "You might as well wait for death!"
The light of the crystal ball gradually dimmed, and the Demon God's figure disappeared along with it. A wave of despair surged in my heart—were we really going to die here?
At that moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the space, and a familiar voice came from outside the crack: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"
Du Ming and I instantly perked up, looking toward the sound. We saw a figure slowly stepping through the crack.
However, when I clearly saw the person's face, I couldn't help but exclaim, "How could it be you?!"
