Chapter 615: 9 Tian Xuan Nu will not sit idly by
Before the figure came closer, Lu Qing pulled Jiang Luo to leave. Unexpectedly, the figure suddenly appeared in front of them and snorted coldly, "Brother Lu Qing, what's wrong with you? You looked at me as if you saw a ghost. Do you want to escape now?"
Jiang Luo remembered who this girl was. She was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady in the Palace of the Emperor of Heaven just now, but he also felt that this Mysterious Lady looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
Before Jiang Luo could remember, Lady Jiu Tian reminded him, "Gulao Mountain, Lost Forest, do you remember?"
Jiang Luo suddenly remembered, and he responded: "Oh, it's you! You and Lu Qing seem to be..."
Lu Qing suddenly covered Jiang Luo's mouth and said, "I have nothing to do with her, let's go back!"
Jiang Luo tried to hold back his laughter, thinking, isn't she your childhood sweetheart? Why are you pretending not to know her?
Xuan Nu blocked their way and said angrily, "Lu Qing, we grew up together, why do you treat me like this?"
Lu Qing looked impatient, loosened his hand that was covering Jiang Luo's mouth, frowned and said: "Xuan Nu, the old things between you and me are long gone. Besides, it was just a game I played with some little monsters when I was a kid, why do you have to remember it for so long? Now I have something important to do, I don't have time to reminisce with you."
Xuan Nu refused to give in. She put her hands on her hips, with a look of grievance and anger in her eyes: "Lu Qing, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by old things? Who said that when you grow up, you will..."
Lu Qing immediately interrupted her, saying in a cold and hard tone: "Xuan Nu, there is no need to talk about the past. I have more important things to do now, and I don't have time to go over the past with you."
Jiang Luo stood aside, watching the tension between the two, and couldn't help but chuckle. He teased, "Lu Qing, it seems that you have quite a few romantic debts."
Lu Qing glared at Jiang Luo, with a hint of warning in his tone: "Jiang Luo, stop making trouble here."
Xuan Nu then turned her gaze to Jiang Luo, looking him up and down, with a flash of understanding in her eyes: "Are you Jiang Luo? The ruler of the three thousand worlds?"
Jiang Luo smiled slightly, and said with a cupped hand: "It is me. I wonder if Xuannv has any advice for you?"
Xuan Nu restrained her emotions, and her tone was a little formal: "Jiang Luo, I heard the Emperor of Heaven mention you. You came here this time to deal with Tian Ming, right?"
Jiang Luo nodded: "That's right. Tian Ming's ambition has threatened the balance of the Three Thousand Worlds. We must take action as soon as possible."
Xuan Nu pondered for a moment, then said: "In this case, I can lend you a helping hand. Tian Ming was once the god in charge of the laws of the heavens. I know his weaknesses and flaws better than anyone else."
Hearing this, Lu Qing frowned slightly, with a hint of suspicion in his tone: "Xuan Nu, why are you helping us? The heavens have never interfered in the affairs of the mortal world, why are you making an exception this time?"
Xuannv glanced at Lu Qing, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "Although Tianming was once a god, he has now fallen into the demon world and has become a threat to the heavens. As the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, I have the responsibility to maintain the order of the heavens."
Jiang Luo nodded and said, "It would be great if Xuan Nu is willing to help. How are you going to help us?"
Xuannv took out a crystal clear jade slip from her sleeve and handed it to Jiang Luo: "This jade slip records Tianming's weaknesses and the old injuries he had in the heavens. There is an unhealable wound on his right shoulder, which is the scar left when he was banished to the mortal world. As long as you hit there, you can severely damage his foundation."
Jiang Luo took the jade slip, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, Xuannv, this jade slip is very important to us."
Lu Qing still had a cold expression on his face, and his tone was a little distant: "Xuan Nu, we appreciate your kindness. However, we can handle this matter ourselves, so you don't need to worry about it."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Xuannu's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Lu Qing, I know you have a grudge against me, but this matter is of great importance. I hope you can put aside your prejudice and concentrate on dealing with Tianming."
Lu Qing was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I understand. However, you don't need to participate in all the actions that follow."
Xuan Nu did not insist any longer, but just looked at Lu Qing deeply, then turned and left. Her back gradually disappeared in the clouds, as if she had never appeared.
After Xuan Nu left, Jiang Luo smiled and patted Lu Qing on the shoulder: "You are really heartless. She clearly wanted to help you, but you refused to say a single nice word."
Lu Qing snorted coldly: "She is just trying to make up for her past debt. I don't need her help."
Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Oh? 'Make up for past debts'? It seems that there are still many stories between you two."
Lu Qing glared at Jiang Luo and said impatiently, "Alright, stop gossiping here. We still have business to do, let's go back to the Demon Realm."
Jiang Luo smiled and didn't ask any more questions. The two left the heaven and returned to the demon world through the portal.
As soon as he returned to the Demon Realm, Lu Qing immediately contacted Gu Ying. Gu Ying's figure soon appeared in front of them, with a solemn expression: "You are finally back. I just got the news that Tianming has assembled the demon army and seems to be preparing to launch a large-scale attack in three days."
Jiang Luo frowned and asked, "Is the news true?"
Gu Ying replied: "It's absolutely true! Last time you sealed the door to the demon world, this time they directly dug through the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, preparing to extradite all the monsters with karma to the 2073 world line."
Jiang Luo really felt that the recent events were just one problem after another, with everything coming together at the same time.
However, this is similar to the progress he had planned when he entered the game himself. At the beginning, he had calculated that the Three Thousand Worlds would have such a catastrophe, so he arranged for himself to enter the game during that period of time. He just returned after a thousand years to deal with the mess in the Three Thousand Worlds.
Jiang Luo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you should find out where they will attack the 2073 world line, and we will be ready to respond."
Gu Ying responded: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
After Gu Ying left, Jiang Luo's expression remained solemn. He looked at Lu Qing and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Tian Ming is determined to take action this time. We must stop him before he opens the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Lu Qing frowned, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "These monsters are really endless. Each of them thinks they can turn the world upside down, but in the end they are just courting their own death."
Jiang Luo smiled helplessly: "The Demon Realm has always been a gathering place for ambitious people, and Tianming is just one of them. However, this time he dug through the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, which is indeed a big trouble."
Lu Qing snorted coldly: "Trouble? No matter how troublesome it is, it can be solved with just one sword. I think you are being a bit fussy. Can't you just kill him directly?"
Jiang Luo shook his head: "Tian Ming's strength should not be underestimated. In addition, he has assembled a demon army. Rash actions will only alert the enemy. We need a careful plan that can stop him while minimizing the damage to the Three Thousand Worlds."
Lu Qing waved his hand impatiently: "Then think about it quickly, I don't want to waste time here."
Jiang Luo pondered for a moment, then said: "Gu Ying will go to inquire about Tian Ming's location, we will wait for his news. At the same time, we also need to gather some helpers, I am afraid it will be difficult for the two of us to handle it alone."
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Helpers? Apart from your friends who are the masters, who else can they be?"
Jiang Luo smiled slightly: "Although the heavens don't often interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, Tian Ming's ambition this time has threatened the order of the heavens. I think the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens will not sit idly by."
Lu Qing's expression suddenly turned ugly: "You mentioned her again? I said, I don't need her help."
Jiang Luo gave him a meaningful look and said, "Lu Qing, this matter is of great importance. We cannot let personal grudges affect the overall situation. Besides, the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens is familiar with Tian Ming's weaknesses. If she helps us, our chances of winning will be much greater."
Lu Qing was silent for a moment, and finally snorted coldly: "It's up to you. But I warn you, don't let her bother me."
Jiang Luo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
Jiang Luo was really amused by Lu Qing. She never thought that he had such a dark history and that he had been remembered by a girl for so many years.
At this moment, Gu Ying appeared again, his face more solemn than before: "Not good, I just got the news that Tian Ming has opened the entrance to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave Secret Realm and is preparing to launch an attack tomorrow night. The location is in the Nether Valley on the border of the Demon Realm, which is the weak point connecting the 2073 world line."
They did not expect Tian Ming to act so quickly. They guessed that he knew that he had been to the Heavenly Court and knew his background. He was afraid that they would join forces with the Heavenly Court to fight against him, so he took the initiative to attack.
Jiang Luo frowned and asked, "Netherworld Valley? Is there any place where we can set up defenses?"
Gu Ying shook her head. "No, that's why. Once the monsters break through the Nether Valley, they will face a vast plain. They will march straight into the continent of the 2073 world line and easily occupy the seven surrounding small cities and one main city without any obstacles."
Lu Qing clenched the sword in his hand, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "What are you waiting for? Just kill him!"
Jiang Luo shook his head: "No hurry, we need to destroy Tianming's teleportation array first, otherwise even if we defeat him, we won't be able to stop the monsters from pouring into the 2073 world line."
Gu Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I just found out that Tianming has set up a huge teleportation array in the Nether Valley. Only by destroying it can we completely stop his plan."
Jiang Luo pondered for a moment, then said: "Well, let's split up into two groups. Lu Qing, you will be responsible for containing Tian Ming head-on and attracting his attention. Gu Ying and I will destroy the teleportation array. Once the array is destroyed, Tian Ming's plan will fail."
Lu Qing sneered: "That's exactly what I want. I've long wanted to have a good fight with that arrogant guy."
Jiang Luo looked at Gu Ying, his tone solemn: "This operation is extremely risky, you must be careful."
Gu Ying nodded: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
After the three of them finished their discussion, they immediately began to act. In the night, the dark clouds of the demon world were extremely low, and the air was filled with a murderous atmosphere.
The Nether Valley is located in the deepest part of the demon world and is surrounded by a powerful demonic barrier. However, the three of them had already figured out the layout of this place and easily avoided all the guards.
When the three of them sneaked into the depths of the Nether Valley, Tianming was standing in front of a huge teleportation array, his eyes full of ambition and madness. He whispered to himself: "The three thousand worlds will eventually become my possession!"
Ling Wuchen stood by his side and reminded him, "Jiang Luo and the others won't sit back and watch you become a formation. Are you sure you want to spend all your energy on this?"
Tian Ming simply said, "Just do as I say!"
Ling Wuchen didn't say anything else, and had to follow his instructions, disappearing on the spot, and went to the capital of the 2073 world line. At the foot of the Renhuang Mountain, he quietly opened a not-so-large teleportation array, which was directly connected to the Demon Cave in the Demon Realm.
