Chapter 1379: Offering His Soul Split to the Demon-Sealing Tower for Her Completion
Star Lord Yuan Qing turned around, intending to stagger and run out.
Jing Jia suddenly made a move, piercing Star Lord Yuan Qing’s back with a single strike.
Then, Bai Zhi’er’s magic light followed closely, shattering Star Lord Yuan Qing’s head.
Thus, the mother and daughter simply joined forces to disperse him once again.
Yet, before dispersing, Star Lord Yuan Qing still laughed wildly.
"The Demon-locking Tower is broken, the demons are released, the Heavenly Court is doomed!"
A gust of wind swept by.
Star Lord Yuan Qing truly died.
But Bai Zhi’er’s mood remained heavy.
She walked forward: "Mother, go back and take care of Father. I’ll handle the matter of the Demon-locking Tower myself."
Bai Zhi’er paused slightly: "However, spare Brother Fuce. I don’t want to see him get hurt."
Jing Jia looked at her, with deep eyes.
For a while, Jing Jia asked, "Is he very important to you?"
Bai Zhi’er nodded and replied, "What is Father to Mother?"
"He is half my life," Jing Jia answered.
Bai Zhi’er said tearfully, "The same goes for me."
"Father and Mother were each busy. During those lonely days of my growing up, Brother Fuce was always with me."
"He had long known my identity, had countless opportunities to kill me, but he did not."
"He guided me, accompanied me, and dedicated himself to me without complaint or regret."
"My heart tells me I won’t hurt him. I like him; whether he is the Demon Lord or an ordinary person, it doesn’t matter!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Jia felt complicated, yet heartfelt and shocked.
After a moment, she spoke bitterly, "Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, Mother won’t stop you."
"Some truths, I will tell you now."
"The plan for today, actually, a few days ago, I had already told the Demon Lord about it."
Bai Zhi’er was taken aback, "Mother told him?"
Jing Jia nodded, "Zhi’er, securing the position of the Heavenly Dao is not so easy."
"We only knew that Star Lord Yuan Qing and Lord Ju Chixing were undercover agents of the Demon World."
"But we couldn’t be sure if there were others with ill intentions within the Heavenly Court."
"Since I intend to pass the position to you, I must ensure that what I leave for my daughter is a peaceful Three Realms, not treachery."
"After I talked to Feng Fuce, he agreed with my perspective."
"So, he pretended to use himself as bait, waiting for Star Lord Yuan Qing to make a move, and then we would seize the opportunity to catch their accomplices in one fell swoop."
"Moreover, the Demon-locking Tower is not stable. Demons escaping has become a common occurrence."
"Sooner or later, the Demon-locking Tower will collapse. It imprisons thousand-year-old demon spirits, which would only bring you endless trouble."
"Thus, Feng Fuce volunteered, using a strand of his soul to bury himself with the tower, perishing together with hundreds of demon spirits, bringing you millennia of peace."
Bai Zhi’er’s body trembled.
"A soul split? What effect will that have on him?"
Jing Jia lowered her gaze, "The Demon Lord was birthed from heaven and earth, his mana is strong, and there won’t be any fundamental impact."
"However, he might experience a period of weakness, during which anyone could take his life."
"So Zhi’er, Mother knows how good he is to you. As the Demon Lord, he’s willing to go this far for you."
"It’s just that the reason we didn’t tell you about the plan is because we worried you wouldn’t agree."
"Feng Fuce especially felt that you wouldn’t bear to see him make such a sacrifice."
Bai Zhi’er’s tears fell like rain, "Of course, I wouldn’t want that!"
How could she possibly allow him to sacrifice himself!
Just then, a huge thunder reverberated in the distance.
Bai Zhi’er and Jing Jia’s expressions changed simultaneously.
Jing Jia said, "Feng Fuce has gone to the Demon-locking Tower!"
No sooner had she spoken than Bai Zhi’er had already flown out.
