After an unknown amount of time, the noise seemed to have stopped, and Lu Qingyao decided to speak first.
"Brother Ye, the matter has come to this, we should let nature take its course."
There was a wry smile on Ye Tian's lips. He didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or pitying himself. "That's right, Brother Lu, let's make peace with it now, right? Whether I want it or not, I am already the leader of the cult, and I can't leave here for the rest of my life."
Seeing Ye Tian's depression, Lu Qingyao was afraid that if he told him that he would only have twenty years left to live after becoming the leader, Ye Tian might not be able to withstand such a blow. It’s better not to mention this matter right now.
"Brother Ye, think about it from another perspective. You are also the lord of a city now. Don't you sound more impressive than you, a senior disciple of the Qingcheng Sect?"
Lu Qingyao's jokes are okay, but his ability to comfort people can be said to be useless. The people he comforted since childhood all wanted to beat him up. Fortunately, he didn't have many opportunities to comfort people.
Ye Tian thought that Lu Qingyao had always been like this along the way, and he couldn't be expected to help him relieve his depression.
Ye Tian only had twenty years left in his life, so Lu Qingyao chose not to tell him on this day. Ye Tian should still need some time to accept the facts and his new identity.
Suddenly, there was a strong wind in the mountains. After a strong wind, the mountains and forests suddenly became quiet. You could not even hear the chirping of birds and insects. It seemed that the entire demonic realm was in mourning and it became even quieter.
The two followed the path and returned to the study where they had just woken up. But this time, it was Ye Tian who carried Lu Qingyao and flew over with Qinggong. Qitian's skill was really superior. If Ye Tian just came down the mountain, he could only take on the sixteenth form of Lu Qingyao's Dream Sword Technique. Ye Tian was able to draw with Lu Qingyao a few hours ago, and now Ye Tian can beat Lu Qingyao. To the point of killing someone. Lu Qingyao vaguely heard Ye Tian's sigh in the wind blowing through the forest.
When they arrived at the study, the four guardians were already waiting outside the room. It turns out that this small courtyard, which looks like a study room, was the residence of the previous sect leaders. Too tired, this sudden change and the sudden reality, the two of them went back to their respective rooms to rest first without saying much. The master bedroom in the east wing and the guest room in the west closed the doors respectively.
It must be a sleepless night.
Ye Tian tossed and turned for an hour, and finally got up and came to the yard, looking at the moon in trance. What a big, round moon, and today is also a full moon. The day they came to this small city was actually the fifteenth day of the lunar month. It happened to be the night of the full moon, and now they have gained something that others may not be able to achieve even if they need to practice for several years or even a lifetime. I don't know if my luck is good or bad with the skills I have gained.
Where there is no moon, where the moon does not shine on people.
This bright moon should also be shining on Qingcheng Mountain at this moment. I wonder how the master, uncle, and junior brothers on Qingcheng Mountain are doing lately and whether they are well. I haven’t written a letter for a while. I wonder if they are looking at the moon and thinking about me? However, he, Ye Tian, can no longer go back. Ye Tian has since become a person without a name. He only has one title left. Outsiders will call him the leader of the Demon Cult, while people in the Demon Realm will call him the leader. And a few hours ago, he still believed in the martial arts righteousness declaration of the demon sect that the master could be punished.
When fate plays tricks on people, it is really not merciful at all. It not only catches you off guard, but also makes you unable to look back. At this time, it will never be possible to change one's destiny against the will of heaven.
Lu Qingyao didn't sleep either. When he got up, he saw Ye Tian standing in the courtyard through the moonlight before opening the door.
Before he entered the world, Lu Qingyao was just an eighth prince who was cautious in everything and only wanted to avoid trouble. He had always been indifferent to people and matters that had nothing to do with his family and life. But this Ye Tian is his first friend, and now his only friend. He never thought that the two of them would go out into the world together, but in the end only he would be able to return to the light of day. From now on, Ye Tian could only be the leader of his demon sect in the demon realm.
But fortunately, there are still twenty years left, and he still has twenty years to visit his only friend often. At most, Ye Tian couldn't get out of the Demon Realm, and Lu Qingyao just made a few more trips, which in his opinion was okay.
Lu Qingyao still doesn't understand at this moment that meeting again is the beginning of parting. The countdown to the friendship between him and Ye Tian has been counting down since they first met at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.
Unknowingly, when the time was approaching, the four guardians also came to Ye Tian and helped him go back to his room to change clothes.
Lu Qingyao stretched his waist, used his kung fu to regain some strength, pretended to have just woken up, went out, and found that Ye Tian had changed his clothes and everything was ready.
Lu Qingyao understood Ye Tian, who was dressed in black, that everything was different. The person in front of him was no longer the silly boy who followed him throughout the world.
Sometimes, people grow up overnight, and there is not so much time to wait for a young boy to grow up into a demon sect leader, although this is a bit too cruel for Ye Tian.
Under the guidance of the four guardians, Ye Tian completed the succession ceremony for the new leader of the Demon Cult. Lu Qingyao found an inconspicuous corner and watched from a distance. Looking at the people in the Demon Realm outside the mansion's door, there should be hundreds of people. Each of them must have taken out their cleanest, tidiest and most expensive clothes when they received the notice yesterday, and bowed their heads to Ye Tian, who was dressed in black at the door of the mansion. They didn't even know that the current leader's name was Ye Tian. And they know their identity very well, they are one of the living beings who rely on the protection of this demon sect leader.
It's so ironic. There are some people in the world who fight for justice and eliminate violence. They keep saying that their original intention is not to be famous in history, but in the end they still leave their names in books or storybooks. The leader of the Demon Cult, one after another, seems to exist only to protect the people of the Demon Cult and the land of the Demon Realm. They accept this worship, but they can no longer leave their own names.
It is as if the existence of the leader of the Demon Cult should leave his name in history.
After the ceremony, the people gradually dispersed under the guidance of the guards.
Ye Tian turned around, and Lu Qingyao saw Ye Tian's eyes, which no longer contained the confusion and grievance of yesterday. His current eyes seemed to have been inherited from Qi Tian, just like the internal strength of his body.
At this moment, the two of them finally had time to sort out their thoughts and plan for the future.
In the next few days, Ye Tian and Lu Qingyao learned bit by bit from the four guardians about the responsibilities of the leader of the Demon Cult and the operation of the Demon Cult.
It turns out that the four guardians not only need to protect the leader on every full moon night, but the four people from the east, west, north and south also have their own responsibilities and work with the leader to maintain the operation of the demon realm.
The Eastern Protector is mainly responsible for spider web intelligence. He is the leader of the spider web founded by Qi Tian. His main responsibility is to use the existence of the spider web to obtain information that is beneficial and unfavorable to the Demon Realm, and report it to the leader, who will decide on the next plan and action. The Protector of the West is the leader of the Demon Realm caravan, and is mainly responsible for the mining of mines, the exchange of items outside the Demon Realm, and the transportation of the caravan. The Protector of the South is more like the Minister of Household Affairs in the Imperial City, responsible for the hierarchy of the population in the Demon Realm and the registration of weddings and funerals. The Northern Protector is like the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He needs to judge disputes and right and wrong in the domain based on his own set of rules that have been formed in the Demon Domain for a long time.
The operation of the Demon Realm is like a mature city. The only difference is that the person in charge here is the leader, not the emperor. Lu Qingyao had a hint of admiration for the demon sect. This demon realm has not seen a single sign of civil strife. It can exist smoothly for two hundred and twenty years. The successive leaders must have put in a lot of effort.
Lu Qingyao originally wanted to leave the Demon Realm and return to the imperial city as soon as possible to eliminate his father's doubts, but he was still worried about the toxicity of Ye Tian's holy water. In the end, he decided to wait until the next full moon night and wait for Ye Tian to survive smoothly. The next time he was tortured by the poisonous holy water, he dared to leave with peace of mind.
It was another full moon night. Lu Qingyao knew that Ye Tian only had nineteen years and eleven months left in his life. However, he still had no idea how to tell him what happened in twenty years. The Eighth Prince began to Have concerns other than yourself.
