Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 991 - 109: Fire of Purification

The subterranean flames of the East Lin Sea? This fire burned for seven days and nights.

The Sea Evil aura in the trench was completely cleansed.

When Yue Chen and Ye, along with a contingent of Tree Generals and Grass Soldiers from the Senming Realm, arrived at the skies near the East Lin Sea aboard an empty ship.

It was a sunny day, and under the brilliant sunlight, they saw a magnificent vast ocean where sky and sea merged into one.

"What a beautiful sea, is this the East Lin Sea? It’s a bit different from the legends. I heard the East Lin Sea had turned into a dead sea a thousand years ago," Ye Zi deeply inhaled the moist sea breeze.

In her view, the Senming Realm had always been the sanctuary of the Demon Clan, lush trees shade the land, but what she saw in front of her was just as beautiful as the sea.

White, unnamed seabirds sang above the horizon, while Demon Clan fishermen diligently released various Sea Beast seedlings into the ocean.

"Hey, Clan Leader, look, what is that in front?" Ye Zi, with sharp eyes, spotted something in the middle of the sea,

A statue was being slowly erected in the center of the sea by a group of Sea Demon Clan warriors shouting out chants, using resilient seaweed ropes.

The statue stood over a hundred meters tall, intricately carved.

"It must be one of the deities’ statues in this area. Fishermen, honest as they are, establish statues of deities in the sea to pray for good weather and safe passage," Yue Chen pondered as the empty ship glided past the statue, causing him to pause in surprise.

The outline of the statue, with its valiant and heroic demeanor, and eyes, nose, lips, reminded him of the person he longed to see night and day.

"Jinghua, it’s her, she..." Yue Chen couldn’t wait any longer and immediately stopped the ship to inquire the local Sea Demon Clan fishermen.

"Are you friends from the Senming Realm?" The Sea Demon Clan fishermen greeted them warmly and enthusiastically shared the origin of the statue upon hearing Yue Chen’s inquiry: "This is our Sea God who helped us repel the attacks of the Dark Demon Tribe and restored the vitality of the East Lin Sea. To forever remember the new Sea God, we erected these statues."

From the fishermen, Yue Chen also learned that Yue Jinghua was currently in the Donglin Demon Cave.

He did not linger and hurried toward the Donglin Demon Cave.

Upon hearing Yue Chen had arrived with his tribe, Yue Jinghua was overjoyed.

She hadn’t seen him for many years.

"Good lad, it’s been years and you’re more becoming of a Clan Leader," Yue Chen’s expression changed from awkward discomfort to greater embarrassment when he heard a crisp and delightful laugh, hesitatingly turning around.

Not far away, Yue Jinghua’s familiar face appeared before him.

His heartbeat suddenly quickened, his blood surged to his brain, his face flushed, and he stammered, just as he had when he first saw Yue Jinghua as a clueless young boy.

Seeing him like this, Yue Jinghua couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch his face.

Unfortunately, the current Yue Chen was tall and handsome, already a steadfast man, devoid of the extra baby fat on his cheeks to satisfy Yue Jinghua’s mischievous hands.

Yue Jinghua pulled back her hand in slight disappointment, complaining, "Did I say it for nothing? You’re still the same. Ye Zi, haven’t you taught him well over these years? Yue Chen is still the same as ever."

Ye Zi watched beside them, both amused and exasperated. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

This Yue Jinghua, it was hard to tell if she was truly foolish or pretending to be, as the Clan Leader was quite sharp before meeting her.

But upon encountering her, he truly turned into a wooden blockhead, awkward in his actions.

Jue Xin heard news of the arrival of the Senming Realm Clan Leader and rushed to greet him, only to witness this amusing and laughable scene.

The purpose of Yue Chen’s visit this time was to aid the Sea Demons in repelling the Dark Demon Tribe, which was his reason for personally leading a group of Tree People Grass Soldiers here.

But upon seeing that the Dark Demon Tribe had been thoroughly destroyed by Yue Jinghua, even the Second Demon Consort had become her puppet, Yue Chen recalled witnessing Yue Jinghua’s prowess in the past, but seeing her now, she was even more formidable than before.

Yue Chen simply listened to Yue Jinghua without speaking, meticulously observing her.

He knew ever since leaving the Star Plane that if Yue Jinghua hadn’t been burdened by the hideous Demon Mark on half of her face, she would be the finest beauty.

Yet today, seeing Yue Jinghua again, he was still stunned by her regained beauty.

Especially after Yue Jinghua experienced the centuries-long rebirth of her body through the Emperor Nan Pearl, she exuded a radiance akin to the Emperor Nan Pearl itself.

If the original Yue Jinghua possessed the gentle beauty of the moon, then reborn anew after her trials, she was like a newly risen sun, her brilliance even more stunning.

Seeing such a Yue Jinghua, Yue Chen was both joyful and melancholic.

The tacit understanding developed from growing up together allowed Yue Chen to perceive the pain Yue Jinghua was striving to hide beneath her prominent exterior.

He understood from the letter Yue Jinghua had written, how she had endured countless hardships.

Though the current her looked so dazzlingly brilliant, the sorrow in her eyes was unmistakable.

When he heard Yue Jinghua was planning to accompany the Second Demon Consort to the Emperor Demon Palace, he couldn’t help but object, "No, it’s too dangerous. That’s the Emperor Demon Palace. All of the Demon World knows that a century ago, when Emperor Demon Wu Ya suddenly awakened, his moods became even more unpredictable, he’d attack the Moon Plane without warning."

Emperor Demon Wu Ya, the most powerful being in the Demon Clan, was said to have awakened even stronger this time.

This was undoubtedly reckless for Yue Jinghua to visit the Emperor Demon Palace under such circumstances.

"I’m disguising as the maid of the Second Demon Consort, returning to the Emperor Demon Palace with her." Yue Jinghua had to go to the Emperor Demon Palace for a reason.

During her hundred-year slumber in the Emperor Nan Pearl.

The pain of losing her parents and Qing Pu was like a sharp dagger, repeatedly ravaging her spirit.

Yet, when she was ready to give up, the Jade Token of Zong Shaoqing, sealed alongside her in the Emperor Nan Pearl, always carried a voice echoing in her ears.

"Stay alive; many await you, you cannot give up," Zong Shaoqing’s voice and the Dark Power emanating from the Jade Token, continuously provided her with courage during her hardest times.

This feeling still lingered at Yue Jinghua’s ear.

Endeared by Qing Pu, Yue Jinghua knew she could never repay.

So, at least she must repay Zong Shaoqing’s kindness.

She disliked owing favors, and right now, Zong Shaoqing is deeply troubled, likely because of her, Yue Jinghua had to go to the Demon Palace.

Moreover, Yue Jinghua also realized she needed to ascertain whether the Witch Sect member captured by Emperor Demon Wu Ya still existed in the world.

If she still existed, Yue Jinghua also had an imperative question to ask.

To break through the Sky Breaking Azure Dragon, Yue Jinghua needed to harness the power of the Witch Dragon King. It was said that the Witch Sect originally discovered the passage to the Chaos Dragon Realm.

The Emperor Demon Palace, she had to go.
