Chapter 298 Xuannv 163
The twilight outside the window seeped into the hall, casting a hazy glow on the Buddhist scriptures spread out on the table. Donghua's fingertips gently pressed down on the last page of the scripture, his well-defined knuckles slowly closing the scroll. The sandalwood pages touched, making a soft sound, as if brushing away the turmoil and anger that had settled over him.
As he rose, his purple robes brushed past the incense burner on the corner of the table, raising a wisp of smoke. Before Jiaojiao could turn around, a pair of strong arms had already pulled her firmly into their embrace. The warmth of his chest seeped through the thin fabric, carrying a reassuring strength. Donghua lowered his head slightly, his chin brushing against the top of her soft hair. The fragrance of her hair wafted into his nose, softening his taut jawline. His voice was deep, carrying a hint of barely perceptible weariness: "After all this trouble is over, let's go back to Bihai Cangling. It'll be quiet there."
Jiaojiao raised her hand to wrap around his waist, her cheek pressed against his slightly cool fabric, her fingertips gently stroking the folds of his clothes on his back, as if soothing his deep-seated weariness. Her voice was soft, yet full of certainty: "Okay, let's go back to the Azure Sea and the Spirit Realm and live in our own world, and never care about the rights and wrongs of the Three Realms again."
She paused, looked up at his smooth jawline, and, remembering their unfinished ties, asked softly, "Miaoluo, I have the Pure White Lotus, which can suppress her ferocity. What are your plans?"
Donghua lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on her clear eyes. His fingertips unconsciously brushed away the stray hairs by her cheek. His tone was calm yet carried an undeniable certainty: "I want to subdue Miaoluo and let her take charge of the Demon Clan. When Shaowan returns, she can just have a nominal position in the Demon Clan." He paused, a knowing smile flashing in his eyes. "She and Moyuan are destined for each other. Fate is a mysterious thing; after all the twists and turns, they will eventually be together."
Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat, and when she looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. His insightful understanding of cause and effect and his meticulous arrangements clearly indicated that he had already seen through the secrets of heaven. She couldn't help but ask softly, "Has the Heavenly Dao contacted you?"
Donghua lowered his head, his chin rubbing against the top of her head again, his voice softening and becoming more serious: "Yes, the Heavenly Dao is slowly awakening. Its fortune was taken away by Bai Zhi before, causing too much damage. It will take time to fully recover."

The fierce winds of the demon realm, carrying black and red malevolent energy, surged into towering waves outside the Nine Heavens Gate.
Clad in jet-black armor, her ink-black hair cascading wildly, Miao Luo stood before the demon army, her Abyss-Splitting Halberd pointing skyward, her eyes blazing with an almost manic obsession. Behind her, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers formed a dark, imposing square formation, their roars shaking the very clouds, each bellow carrying the ferocity to break through the heavens.
"Donghua! Get out here!" Miaoluo's voice pierced through the murderous aura and exploded between heaven and earth, carrying a hint of arrogance and domineering, "Today I will flatten these nine heavens, not for the position of ruler of the three realms, but only to capture you and make you my demon clan's chieftain husband!"
Before she finished speaking, a beam of golden light suddenly broke through the sea of clouds outside the Nine Heavens Gate.
Seventy-two figures arrived bathed in light, none other than the seventy-two generals under Donghua's command. Clad in purple-gold armor and wielding divine weapons, their formation was as impenetrable as an iron wall. The leading general, halberd held high, stood on his horse, his voice booming like a bell: "Miaoluo, how dare you be so insolent! With us here, you will not be allowed to set foot even half a step into the Ninth Heaven!"
Immediately afterwards, the sea of clouds surged on the other side, and thirty-six streams of light pierced through the air, as the thirty-six battle divisions of the Goddess Yao Guang were already in formation. Their silver armor was as white as snow, their long spears as numerous as a forest, echoing the seventy-two generals on either side, instantly building an impregnable wall of bronze and iron outside the gates of the Nine Heavens.
"Seventy-two generals, heed my command! Form the Heavenly Net Formation!"
"Thirty-sixth War Division, listen to my command! Deploy the ground net formation!"
Two military orders were issued simultaneously, and golden and silver light intertwined, instantly forming the Heavenly Net Formation. The formation patterns lit up in the sea of clouds, bursting forth with majestic heavenly power, forcibly forcing the demon army's murderous aura back three feet.
Seeing this, Miaoluo was furious but laughed, slamming her Rift Abyss Halberd down heavily, causing the black clouds beneath her feet to churn: "You ants think you can stop me? Once I capture Donghua, I'll make sure your souls are scattered to the winds!"
She raised her hand and waved it, the Rift Abyss Halberd drawing a terrifying black light, and the demonic soldiers behind her surged toward the Heavenly Gate like a tidal wave.
The Seventy-Two Divisions were the first to charge, the resounding clash of their divine weapons deafening; the Thirty-Six Divisions followed closely behind, their spears sweeping across, felling the demonic soldiers one after another. The sounds of clashing swords and galloping horses echoed through the heavens, and outside the Nine Heavens Gate, an earth-shattering battle had begun.
Above the Heavenly Gate, amidst the surging sea of clouds, a figure in purple slowly appeared.
Donghua stood with his hands behind his back, his black hair falling over his shoulders, his wide purple sleeves fluttering in the wind. He exuded no fierceness, yet his aura was one of domineering power over the three realms. Beside him, Jiaojiao wore a plain white dress, the white lotus in her hand shimmering with a faint light. Her eyes held a touch of coldness, but when she looked at Donghua, a gentle smile appeared on them.
The sounds of battle below were deafening. Miaoluo was wielding her halberd, cleaving through the weapon of a warrior, when she looked up and saw the two on the Heavenly Gate. Her eyes instantly blazed with a fierce light, and she pointed her Rift Abyss Halberd directly at Donghua. Her voice was filled with a maniacal laugh: "Donghua! You've finally come out to see me! If you submit to me today, I will spare the lives of these ants!"
Donghua looked down at her, his gaze indifferent as frost, as if he were looking at a clown. He parted his thin lips slightly, his voice not loud, but it pierced through the sounds of clashing swords and falling clearly into everyone's ears: "Miaoluo, you dare to say you're worthy?"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, sending a streak of purple light hurtling down towards Miaoluo's face. Miaoluo was shocked and hastily raised her halberd to block, but with a loud "clang," the Rift Abyss Halberd was knocked out of her hand, and the excruciating pain from her splitting tiger's mouth made her face turn pale.
Jiaojiao stood beside Donghua, her fingertips lightly twirling, causing the Pure World White Lotus to shine even brighter, its faint fragrance spreading out and suppressing some of the demon army's murderous aura. She spoke softly, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable power: "Miaoluo, you are stubborn and unrepentant. Today, don't blame us for being impolite."
The 72nd War Generals and the 36th War Division were greatly encouraged by Donghua and Jiaojiao's appearance, and shouted in unison, "Welcome the Emperor!" The sound reverberated through the sky, and the demon soldiers' formation was thrown into chaos.
