ch 64

The so-called sacrifice was to use flesh and blood as a guide and use an ancient secret method to sacrifice one's life to activate the sacrificial array.

Demons and humans were different. After death, they would not enter the cycle of reincarnation. Even Demon Emperors were no exception. In other words, once a demon died, they would truly perish. Their soul would be destroyed, and that person would never be found again.

Su Yang was stunned. He had only met Ling Yu once, so he did not have any sympathy for him. However, he could not understand why the dignified Demon Emperor, who should have been free and unfettered for thousands of years, would pay such a huge price in exchange for Torch Dragon's freedom. This action was simply too crazy.

Mo Yan, however, did not care much. The activation of the Heaven's Web stone meant that the old dragon was about to come out. He had to capture him as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would cause chaos between heaven and earth.

He sent Su Yang back to the hall and set up a barrier around them. He said, "Wait here. I'll go take a look at the situation."

Su Yang grabbed his hand and asked anxiously, "How confident are you in capturing him?"

Mo Yan said, "I'm ninety percent confident. I was the one who imprisoned him a thousand years ago. Now that I've improved a lot, it'll be much easier than before."

Su Yang was about to say something when Mo Yan pulled him into his arms and kissed his cheek. He said, "Don't worry. I'll return safely. It wasn't easy to taste you. I can't bear to die like this."

Su Yang looked at him quietly. Suddenly, he said angrily, "… Can you not raise flags so casually?!"

Mo Yan blinked and asked innocently, "What?"

"Nothing." Su Yang wiped his face. He said, "I believe you can beat him, but I also know you can't kill him. Otherwise, you wouldn't have imprisoned him for so many years. The Heaven's Web stone has been destroyed. What other ways do you have to imprison him for thousands of years?"

Mo Yan paused for a moment, then stopped talking. He was obviously stumped by this question. Su Yang was extremely angry. This idiot rushed forward without thinking. No wonder anyone could bully him.

Su Yang said, "The problem now is both difficult and simple. Now that the Heavenly Net Stone has been broken, the seal on your eyes can also be undone. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. As for that Zhulong, doesn't he want to be the Celestial Emperor? Now that the Demon Race is his ally, we can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Let's watch him and the Celestial Emperor fight to the death.

Mo Yan frowned. "The Candle Dragon is different from other beasts. He's the god of Mount Zhong. He sees day as night, wind as winter, and wind as summer. He's a divine being that's closely related to the Heavenly Axiom. If we leave him alone, all living beings will be plunged into misery and suffering. The order of the human world will be disrupted, and the Ghost Realm will be affected."

Su Yang did not expect him to think so far ahead. He thought that this stupid Qiong Qi only knew how to put on airs and act obedient. It turned out that he had some knowledge.

Su Yang selfishly did not want him to get involved in this matter. He did not have the noble sentiment to save the world. He was only afraid that Mo Yan would be used and hurt again.

There were many sanctimonious Celestial Clans in the Heaven Realm. The Celestial Emperor guarded against Mo Yan while letting him guard and imprison the Candle Dragon. Now that something had happened, they could only count on this idiot to draw hatred. When the time comes, the Demon Race led by the Candle Dragon would completely fall out with the strongest Ghost Realm in the Three Realms. Both sides would definitely suffer losses. The Heaven Realm only needed to reap the benefits and remove the two thorns without expending a single soldier.

It was not that Mo Yan did not understand these principles, but he did not care at all. He thought that this was the right thing to do, so he had to do it. His stubbornness made others helpless.

Su Yang pulled on his sleeves and said shamelessly, "I won't let you go. If you want to catch the Candle Dragon, you have to beat me down first."

"…" Mo Yan frowned and said, "Su 'er, stop fooling around. Why would I hurt you? That old dragon escaped from the Ghost Realm. It's my duty. I have to catch him."

"You idiot, not to mention that you have no way to deal with him now, even if you do, it's not your responsibility. The Candle Dragon was once a god in the Heaven Realm. He doesn't belong to the Three Evils of the Ghost Realm. There's no need for you to waste your time. I've never seen you so warm-hearted before.

Su Yang hugged his waist tightly and refused to let go.

Mo Yan lowered his head and kissed the top of his head gently. He said, "Su 'er, I actually don't like being the Ghost King, and I don't like staying in the Ghost Realm. Compared to here, I prefer the Peng Lai Immortal Land and the Miaowen Mountain in the South Sea. However, I've been guarding here for thousands of years. Do you know why?

It's because this is the only place that can make me feel at ease. "

"When my spiritual wisdom was first awakened, people called me a ferocious beast. The so-called ferocious beast is a scourge that brings disaster to the human world. I've eaten many humans, demons, and even gods. The name Qiong Qi is equivalent to a ferocious beast. Bai Ze said that Qiong Qi's nature is evil. However, I don't want to be a ferocious beast. I want to be a good person. "

"You said that you want to be a good person …" Su Yang asked in a stutter.

"Su 'er, you also think that it's funny. A ferocious beast that has done many evil deeds wants to turn over a new leaf … Even Bai Ze said that a ferocious beast like me will never learn to be good. Therefore, I only need to remember the four words' strictly abide by my duty '. Whether it's the Heaven Realm or the Ghost Realm, as long as I do my duty, I'll be considered a good person."

Su Yang's heart beat faster and faster. Even his voice unconsciously became sharp, "But, why do you want to be a good person?"

Mo Yan paused. A trace of confusion flashed through his eyes. He said, "I've never thought about this question. It's as if from the beginning of my memories, I've always thought about this. There's a voice in the depths of my heart that says that I must be a good person. Otherwise, I'll lose something very important."

"…"

It was only at this moment that Su Yang finally confirmed that he didn't find the wrong person. This stupid Qiong Qi was the outlaw from his previous life, the man who was so abnormal that it was terrifying. He had completely forgotten about him, but he still remembered all the trivial things clearly. It really made him not know whether to laugh or cry.

Mo Yan noticed that the boy in his arms was laughing. The clear and sweet laughter contained a trace of bitterness, making his chest feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

He moved closer to Su Yang's ear and asked softly, "Su 'er? What's wrong? "

Su Yang suddenly raised his head and flicked his little horn. He smiled and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since you want to be a good person, I can't instigate you to disregard human life. Quickly go and catch Zhu Long. We've been delayed for so long. Don't let him escape."

Mo Yan's eyes lit up. He held his slender waist and kissed him fiercely on the lips. Only then did he turn and leave.
