Chapter 460 Funeral
In the depths of the outer void.
The Blood Demon Lord was immersed in viscous blood, and his broken body repaired itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Flesh and blood squirmed.
Skeletal remodeling.
His eyes were closed, but his face was full of suppressed violence.
"……too slow."
A dull voice sounded.
Beside the blood pool, a giant eyeball floated, its pupils cloudy, coldly staring at the Blood Demon Lord.
"Noisy!"
The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Bloods didn't even lift his eyelids.
The Evil Eye's pupils contracted slightly.
"Li Ping's body is destroyed, the plan is thwarted, and the Immortal Realm must have already noticed."
The Blood Demon Lord scoffed, "Just a vessel."
"Once I recover, I will find another one."
"We can't delay it any longer!"
Evil Eye's voice was urgent, "The plan to conquer the Immortal Realm must be accelerated! You and I have been laying the groundwork in the lower realm for hundreds of years, and we have finally managed to open a breach..."
The Blood Demon Lord finally opened his eyes, a hint of impatience flashing in his blood-red pupils.
"No hurries?"
"The barrier of the Immortal Realm is connected to the Mirror of the Void; forcing our way through will only result in mutual destruction."
The evil eye slowly turned, its tone somber.
“I sense… unusual spatial fluctuations.”
“From another dimension.”
"If they become our enemies..."
"Other planes?"
The Blood Demon Lord's eyes narrowed.
He was silent for a moment, then a ferocious grin spread across his face.
"It's even better that they've come; it'll be perfect for capturing them all at once!"
As he spoke, he closed his eyes again, and the demonic energy around him intensified.
"Give me some more time..."
"The day the Immortal Realm is completely fused with this newly acquired demonic body will be the day it is destroyed."
The Evil Eye fell silent.
Deep in the pupil.
A barely perceptible worry crossed my mind.
……
Longhua Kingdom, Kyoto.
White House.
The once magnificent mansion is now covered with pale white silk cloth, and suppressed sobs can be faintly heard.
Inside the mourning hall.
The white banners fluttered in the wind, and the candlelight flickered.
An empty coffin was placed in the center of the mourning hall, with a memorial tablet standing in front of it.
This is the memorial tablet of Lu Yuguan.
Bai Xiao knelt before the coffin, his back hunched, his hair turned white overnight.
Chang Yun held two-month-old Bai Nianyu in her arms, standing beside him, silently shedding tears.
"Ms. sir..."
"Let's rest for a bit..."
Bai Xiao remained motionless like a stone statue, staring blankly at the memorial tablet, as if trying to etch those three words into his heart.
Bai Nianyu neither cried nor made a fuss; she simply opened her big, dark eyes.
In a corner of the mourning hall, Daiyu and Qingwen knelt side by side.
Daiyu's body trembled slightly, and tears silently slid down her cheeks, leaving deep stains on her white skirt.
The young master's kindness to them.
They all became thorns in my side.
thump……
Daiyu pressed her forehead to the ground, her thin shoulders shrugging.
Qingwen's face was ashen. She straightened her back and bit her lip tightly, refusing to loosen her grip even when she tasted blood.
"Wow!"
In the dead silence, Bai Nianyu suddenly cried, her clear sobs breaking through the stagnant air.
Footsteps could be heard outside the mansion gate.
Dressed in white mourning clothes, Hongdie led several key members of the Thousand Flowers Merchant Guild into the mourning hall.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she bowed deeply three times to Lu Yuguan's memorial tablet.
"Son..."
Her voice choked with emotion, and she couldn't continue.
His subordinates behind him knelt down one after another, their faces filled with grief.
To everyone, Lu Yuguan was not only their master, but also their benefactor, the great benefactor who enabled them to live a prosperous life.
Red Butterfly walked up to Bai Xiao.
"Condolences."
Bai Xiao nodded slowly, his throat bobbing, but no sound came out.
at this time.
There was another commotion outside the mansion gate.
"Big brother!"
Bai Ming and Li Ying crossed the threshold.
He was dressed in black, his face was haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Li Ying's lower abdomen was slightly protruding, and she held his arm tightly.
Bai Ming's gaze swept across the mourning hall, finally settling on the coffin and memorial tablet.
"Big brother..."
Bai Ming looked at Bai Xiao standing to the side, his voice hoarse.
Bai Xiao looked at him with a sorrowful expression, but did not speak.
Bai Ming pushed Li Ying's hand away and walked step by step to Bai Xiao.
Pfft! ! !
He knelt down straight, his forehead hitting the ground heavily, and he almost burst into tears.
"Big brother..."
"I have fallen into demonic possession... I am no longer worthy of being included in the family genealogy..."
"I've returned today... only to ask for something from Father... something from Yuguan..."
"Kneel down..."
Tears streamed down Bai Xiao's face as she bent down to help him up.
"Just come back."
These four short words carry immense weight.
Li Ying quickly stepped forward to help Bai Ming up, and gave Bai Xiao a grateful look.
We're family after all.
The mourning intensified inside the mourning hall.
Before long, a commotion arose outside the mansion.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Li Chongjiu, dressed in plain clothes with a solemn expression, led only a few important officials, including Fu Xiangqing, into the room.
"His Majesty!"
The Bai family members immediately knelt down to welcome them.
Li Chongjiu raised his hand in a gesture of support: "I have come to see you off at Yuguan Pass."
He walked to the altar, gazed at the memorial tablet for a long time, and bowed deeply, followed closely by Fu Xiangqing and others.
Li Chongjiu turned to look at Bai Xiao.
"Lord Bai."
"The old minister is here."
“The Bai family is full of loyal martyrs, and Yuguan sacrificed himself for the capital,” Li Chongjiu said in a low voice. “I have ordered stonemasons to erect a monument in front of your mansion.”
The inscription reads: "...a generation of loyal and virtuous men."
Bai Xiao trembled and knelt down again.
"minister!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Li Chongjiu helped him up, his gaze sweeping across the mourning hall: "If Minister Bai were alive today, he would surely be pleased to see the Bai family in such a state."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chongjiu's eyes flickered slightly. He closed his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed between his brows.
next moment.
The aura around him suddenly changed.
Bai Zheng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze initially blank, before he looked around.
His gaze swept over the crowd... finally settling on the empty coffin and the memorial tablet.
"Xiao'er... Ming'er..."
Bai Zheng's voice trembled, "What...what's going on?"
"Where is Yuguan?"
"Where is your third brother...?"
The mourning hall was deathly silent.
Everyone looked at the emperor, who seemed like a completely different person, and understood—
The one speaking at this moment is Bai Zheng, the former Minister.
Bai Ming could no longer hold back and burst into tears, crying out, "Father!..."
Bai Xiao's eyes were red-rimmed, and she couldn't bear to look anymore.
Bai Zheng glanced at everyone's reactions and then at the room full of white silk, a sense of foreboding washing over him.
He didn't ask any more questions.
He just stared blankly at Lu Yuguan's memorial tablet.
Bai Zheng opened his mouth, but it turned into a suppressed sob.
He raised his hand to touch the cold memorial tablet, but his arm trembled violently in mid-air.
a long time.
Bai Zheng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear again.
Li Chongjiu swayed, looked at the empty coffin, and finally just bowed deeply.
"Please accept my condolences, everyone."
After saying this, he silently left with his ministers.
Bai Ming watched Li Chongjiu leave, tears already streaming down his face.
Father!
Your child is unfilial!
……
The void outside the domain.
In the pool of blood, the Blood Demon Lord opened his eyes, demonic flames burning in his blood-red pupils.
"almost……"
"Immortal Realm..."
Are you ready for the end of the world?
Evil Eye suddenly interrupted him, his tone changing abruptly: "I'm warning you, don't act rashly again, or no one can save you!"
"Don't worry," the Blood Demon Lord smirked, "as long as that woman isn't around, I am invincible..."
