The Demon King is an Idiot [BL]-Chapter 174: He took her

"YangYang survived... He was Duan Luoyang... That’s why Jin Long targeted him..." The more Jie Fu Lian thought about it, the more it made sense and the more shocked he felt.

Tears started brimming in his eyes. At first, he was extremely glad and happy to know that Mo Yang had survived but then, those feelings took a dramatic turn when he accounted for the fact that Duan Luoyang could have already been killed by Jin Long who had abducted him with the purpose of killing him.

"We have to save him!" Jie Fu Lian desperately exclaimed, hugging the dagger close to his heart.

Jin Shifeng gulped as she heard this and thought about it carefully as she asked, "Daoist Jie Fu Lian, I’ll have to ask you to pay attention and tell me the names of all the places that are important to you."

"Important?" Jie Fu Lian muttered as he repeated, thinking deeply about it before he shook his head in frustration, "I don’t know! I can’t think straight!"

Jin Shifeng bit her lip as she heard this and urged the man to focus as she spoke, "You must know it. You are the only one who would know the answer. Where do you think Jin Long has gone?"

Jie Fu Lian clenched his fist as he once again decided to think about it but no matter how hard he tried, he simply could not name such a place.

"The HuiXue sect..." Hua Tianshu suddenly muttered, his eyes slowly widening in realization.

Jin Shifeng tilted her head in confusion as she heard this, "Huh?"

When Jie Fu Lian heard the name, he also had a foreboding feeling rising up in his heart as he spoke, "That’s right... It’s the HuiXue sect... The place where I first met Hua Tianshu..."

"But we were just there, were we not?" Yu Wei questioned, feeling extremely confused and uncertain.

"He’s going after Hua Meifang...!" Hua Tianshu gritted out as he immediately took out a few transportation talismans and headed back to the HuiXue sect.

Jie Fu Lian frowned as he heard this and had a bad feeling about it.

By the time, they reached the HuiXue sect, the place was already engulfed in fire with outer-core disciples evacuating the premises and inner-core disciples trying to put the fire out.

When Hua Tianshu looked at the scene, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of deja vu.

It was the same as back then...

Just like how the Yan Sect had been burnt to the ground, the HuiXue sect was also facing the flames of wrath.

Hua Tianshu grabbed hold of a random disciple and hurriedly asked, "Where is Hua Meifang?"

The disciple looked to be a little out of it and took a few seconds to process the question before he answered, "S-she’s still inside."

When Hua Tianshu heard this, without thinking anything through, he jumped into the flames and headed to his sister’s room.

Jie Fu Lian naturally followed him and Yu Wei also stepped forward to go after the two but was stopped by Jin Shifeng.

"She won’t be there," Jin Shifeng sighed as she spoke.

"What do you mean?" Yu Wei asked in disbelief.

Jin Shifeng gritted her teeth as she revealed, "Eight years ago, Jin Long tried to kill Hua Meifang but thanks to the demon king, she survived. Since she had lost her sanity and spiritual roots, he let her go, thinking she would no longer be a threat. However, now he is taking revenge. He is killing off the victims that had managed to escape. This fire is just a distraction. Hua Meifang has already been abducted."

When Yu Wei heard this, she couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down her spine as she gulped in fear.

"That bastard...!" Shen Chao gritted out, veins popping up with anger on his forehead.

As expected, Hua Tianshu and Jie Fu Lian returned empty-handed, covered in soot, and with devasted expressions plastered on their faces.

"He took her," Hua Tianshu confirmed it.

"Where could he have gone?" Yu Wei questioned, expectantly looking at Jie Fu Lian.

At this point, Jie Fu Lian was feeling utterly defeated and helpless. It was as if he was chasing after someone who was always a few steps ahead of him.

Suddenly Hua Tianshu remembered something important and took out a book as he spoke, "Jie Ming, maybe this can help."

When Jie Fu Lian looked at the book, he immediately understood what Hua Tianshu was thinking.

"It is worth a try," Jie Fu Lian nodded his head as he spoke.

Jin Shifeng, Yu Wei, and Shen Chao, who did not know what the book was, could only look on in confusion, wondering what the two were trying to do.

Jie Fu Lian used the dagger to slice his palm and let his blood drip down and stain the pages of the book.

"Where is Jin Long?" Hua Tianshu questioned as he looked at the blood-stained pages.

For a second there, it seemed as if there was no response and Jie Fu Lian thought that the book needed more blood so he got ready to once again slit his palm a bit deeper, however, right when the dagger touched his skin, he saw the blood droplets on the page move on their own.

First, the blood droplets gathered together, and then, like rivers, they divided and spread around the page, twisting and twirling as they formed words.

"The abyss," Hua Tianshu read out the words written on the page with a small frown on his face.

"He entered the abyss...?!" Jie Fu Lian questioned, his eyebrows creasing together in disbelief.

The blood on the page once again spread out and twisted as it formed a response.

"He is waiting for you."

Jie Fu Lian gulped as he read this and raised his head to look at Hua Tianshu who was looking back at him with the same mixed expression.

"That makes sense," Jin Shifeng spoke up with a frown as she revealed, "The master of curses cannot be harmed by the abyss and as long as he is working together with Jin Long, the two of them cannot be easily defeated inside the abyss. It’s a trap and they are challenging us to defeat them when all odds are against our favor."

"Who said all odds are against our favor?" Shen Chao asked with a small frown, sounding extremely calm as he pointed out, "You have a demonic cultivator and the demon king by your side so why would you need to fear the abyss?"

"..."

Even Jie Fu Lian had not thought of that so when he heard the man saying this, he couldn’t help but feel a little impressed.

"It should be more complicated than that," Hua Tianshu spoke up with a small frown as he also put his thoughts on the table, "Jin Long knows about you two and it is common knowledge that the abyss would not be that dangerous to the demon king so there should be a reason why Jin Long is so confidently about luring us in."

"He is right," Jin Shifeng nodded her head as she agreed, "Jin Long isn’t simple-minded. He probably has a plan for everything."

"Then how do we defeat him?" Shen Chao frowned as he asked.

Unfortunately, nobody had a specific answer to that. So far, they had been going with the flow and didn’t bother coming up with a thorough plan.

Jie Fu Lian took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down as he seriously thought about it.

In the end, he turned to look at Jin Shifeng as he spoke, "There is something that may help us but only you can get it for us."

Jin Shifeng slightly frowned as she heard this but didn’t look to be against the idea as she asked, "What is it?"

"The eternal hell tower."

When Jin Shifeng heard this name, her eyes slightly widened and she asked, "How do you know about that?"

"I used it to train myself once," Jie Fu Lian casually replied, making it seem as if it was no big deal.

When Jin Shifeng heard his response, she couldn’t help but feel a little stunned.

"When?"

"When I was around twelve years old."

Jin Shifeng’s eyes widened and she no longer knew what to say as she looked at Jie Fu Lian with both disbelief and amazement.

The eternal hell tower was a special high-grade item that was originally created a thousand years ago as the fourth-dimensional training ground but due to the high risk of death, it was later turned into a torture prison for people who committed unforgivable sins.

To think that a mere twelve-year-old had been able to get out of there with his soul intact... It was certainly an achievement that seemed almost impossible to attain.

"What do you plan on doing with it?" Jin Shifeng gulped as she asked, suddenly seeing Jie Fu Lian in a new light.

"I’m going to trap the master of curses inside it."
