Ink dust God smiled slightly and looked at the officials who followed him, indifferently, "Where is the emperor?"
"Your Honor, the Emperor seems to have gone to the Yutai Pool."
The official spoke the truth.
Ink dust God slightly nodded, white robe fluttered, and soon he had gone.
The water in the Yutai Pool is clear, like a piece of jade, reflecting the resplendent pavilions and palaces in its depths, which forms another nine-heaven palace within the pool.
"Although the Heavens and the Demons have fought countless times, with both sides having wins and losses, they have never been defeated so decisively. As a God of War in the Heavens, you led your army in person to fight, yet you lost so ridiculously. How do you explain this?"
Emperor Hao Kun faced the Yutai Pool and pinched a clump of fish feed with his finger, slowly dropping it into the water. He watched as the group of dragon carp, which were spiritually foolish, fought for food.
Ink Ash stood behind him, unable to see his expression. After a moment of silence, he said, "This is the reason, Emperor. Please look."
He suddenly stretched out a snow-white hand, sliding it sideways towards the empty space in front of him.
In an instant, a river of time appeared in the void in front of him.
The river of time was shrouded in mist, and the scenes within it rapidly flowed past, like frames from an old movie being played.
Emperor Hao Kun turned around and looked at the river of time.
The rapidly flowing scenes suddenly slowed down, reflecting a man's face filled with jealousy and the scene of buying a small immortal of Zihong Palace to drug the tea for Ink Ash.
"Ah, Ink Ash, do you know how envious I am of you? You must die so that others can see my existence. Don't blame me, blame yourself. It's your brilliance that is too dazzling, overshadowing the existence of the celestial lord..."
The voice of jealousy and coldness came from the river of time.
It was the voice of Yongye Celestial Lord.
Emperor Hao Kun's expression turned dark, anger flaring on his face. He bellowed, "Reckless! To ignore the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers for one's own selfish desires, such a person is not worthy to be a celestial."
If it were the Demon's realm, Emperor Hao Kun may not have been so angry. After all, their positions are different.
But it was a celestial being from the Heavenly realm, for such a laughable reason, which made him very angry and irritable.
Ink Ash God remained expressionless and did not speak.
His gaze fell on the river of time in front of him, where a scene from the celestial and demonic battlefield appeared. It was the moment when he fell into a void through a crack, but was quickly pulled into space by Yuyao.
He knew what would come next, and the unchanging beautiful face, which seldom showed a blush, did.
He quickly tapped his fingers, and the river of time vanished instantly, with the images following suit.
Emperor Hao Kun did not pay much attention, mainly because he did not know what the next scene would be. He closed it off casually when Ink Ash showed him what he wanted to see.
"Don't worry, Ink Ash. I will give you and the ten thousand soldiers a satisfactory explanation for this."
The Emperor looked at Ink Ash God, his expression serious.
He was about to return to Ling Xiao Treasured Hall to handle this matter when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
His gaze sharpened, and he fixated on Ink Ash God.
As if he had discovered something extraordinary, the Emperor suddenly shocked, staring wide-eyed.
Then, curious, he sent his divine consciousness into Ink Ash's body to examine it carefully again.
But he was quickly bounced back.
Ink Ash God naturally knew why the Emperor was acting like this. It was because he discovered that his original yang energy was missing, which caused him to be shocked.
His handsome face darkened, and his indifferent and cold voice took on an unpleasant tone, "Your Majesty is being impolite."
The Emperor coughed dryly twice, a look of embarrassment appearing on his face, also realizing that his previous actions were very rude.
But this cannot be blamed on him either. Ink Ash's hatred for women is something he is very clear about. He can say that no woman can appear within three zhang of his body.
No, not even a mother can appear. He is truly the first eccentric in all six realms.
The Emperor was truly curious, wondering which woman in the heavens and earth had such ability to sleep with Ink Ash.
"Your yuan energy is gone?"
Although he was extremely shocked in his heart, the emperor maintained a calm expression on his face and smiled faintly while asking.
Ink Ash God could naturally detect the concealed laughter in the Emperor's words. His extraordinarily handsome face darkened again, and a coldness began to permeate his surroundings. "Nothing much, it's just that while I was injured and unconscious, some female demon must have bitten into me..."
For some unknown reason, he did not want others to know that the one who slept with him was a demonic holy maiden, but only vaguely referred to her as a certain female demon.
"Female demon?"
The Emperor's instinct was that it was a demon from the demon realm, and he was very curious about what kind of demon she was so powerful.
Could it be the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon?
He mockingly patted Ink Ash God's shoulder, "No big deal. Living alone like a hermit is so boring. Maybe after this, it will cure your aversion to women. That's good, hahaha..."
As he spoke, he laughed and left, disappearing in the Yutai Pool in an instant.
Ink Ash God's handsome face turned blacker, almost as dark as a pot bottom.
He glanced in the direction of the Emperor's departure and quickly followed, stepping away.
...
Ink Ash God's injury and unconsciousness led to the loss of his original yang energy at the hands of a female demon, which spread quickly.
Spread along with it was an edict issued from the Lingxiao Palace.
The edict roughly stated that Yongye Celestial Lord was jealous and had harmed Ink Ash God, leading to the defeat of the Heavenly troops. Therefore, he would have his bone removed, his essence root extracted, be exiled to the mortal realm, and would never be reinstated to the list of celestial beings.
With these two pieces of news, there was an uproar in the Nine Layers of the Heavens, as well as across the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses.
"I never expected Yongye Celestial Lord to be such a person. To put one's own selfish desires above the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, this person is not worthy to be a celestial being. It's a pity for those who have died..."
A male celestial exclaimed about the Emperor's decree.
However, after hearing that Ink Ash God was injured and unconscious, causing his yuan energy to be taken by a female demon, they expressed their glee.
Of course, this was the male celestial, demon, demonic entity, and ghost...
Everyone thought that Ink Ash God had always been pretentiously noble, not actually disliking women. Look, a female demon was enough to break him, and she even took away his yuan energy.
However, the female celestial had a completely different attitude when she heard this news. She gritted her teeth, fuming and dissatisfied, or went mad and cursed ferociously, hysterical...
"By what right? By what right? Who is this audacious demoness who dared to defile Ink Ash God while he was injured and unconscious? Don't let me find out who she is, hmph..."
A female celestial was cursing angrily within the Yutai Pool.
Soon, other female celestial joined in, also expressing their indignation: "Exactly! And that Yongye Celestial Lord is also deserving of death. If it were not for him, Ink Ash God would not have been injured and unconscious. Being demoted to the mortal realm is too easy for him."
"Sisters, follow me. Let's go to the mortal realm to deal with Yongye Celestial Lord."
"I'm going too. I want him to become a monk for ten lifetimes and repent for what he has done."
...
Far away in the East Sea, Princess Xiyao also heard about these two pieces of news.
She sat on the water bed with a gloomy expression, feeling very bad. Her forehead was knitted tightly, and she did not relax it at all.
No one knows that she has been in love with Ink Ash God for a long time, but she just hasn't had the opportunity to get close.
It was hard for her to persuade her father to allow her to go to the celestial and demonic battlefield. Even if she couldn't gain a life-saving favor, being able to be near that man was good enough for her.
She hadn't expected that before she could implement her plan, Ink Ash God was knocked out of the battlefield by the demon king.
At that moment, she found it very surprising. When did Ink Ash God become so useless that he couldn't even withstand a single blow from the demon king?
It was actually Yongye Celestial Lord who was responsible for it.
"Go and check where Yongye Celestial Lord has been demoted to the mortal realm. Also, go and find out who the female demon is that took Ink Ash God's yuan energy. Princess Xiyao wants these two people to live a life worse than death."
Xiyao's expression turned fierce and sinister as she glanced at the servant by her side and ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The servant respectfully replied and quickly withdrew.
This news spread across the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses, and of course, it reached the Demon Realm as well.
In the Demon Realm, the Blood Moon hung in the sky, mysterious and beautiful, with a somber and demonic aura.
Inside the Jiuyou Hall.
"Master, Yongye Celestial Lord from the Heavenly Realm has been demoted to the mortal realm. The reason is jealousy and harming Ink Ash God, leading to the defeat of the Heavenly Realm."
Yuanying stood with one knee on the central ground, respectfully reporting to the man reclining on the black gold throne.
The Demon King Feng Tian's expression was indolent as he listened to the news reported by Yuyan, slightly raising his eyebrow.
But he did not seem surprised.
In the celestial and demonic battlefield, he noticed something was off with Ink Ash when he was fighting him.
Ink Ash's strength was not inferior to his, how could he be so useless as to not withstand a single blow from himself.
"The corruption in the Heavenly Realm is becoming more and more."
The Demon King Feng Tian's lips curved slightly, mocking coldly.
