Chapter 145 Tushan Situation
"Since the news that Tushan Honghong and Dongfang Yuechu died together spread, Tushan's deterrent power has greatly decreased. Many forces that covet Tushan's resources have begun to make moves. They want to seize control of Tushan."
"Even though we have always claimed that Tushan Honghong was only injured and in seclusion, desire and ambition are like wildfire, and it is difficult to contain them. Various forces are secretly watching and even began to collude, intending to deal a fatal blow to Tushan when she is at her weakest."
Tushan Yaya's clenched fists trembled slightly. She suppressed her inner anger and unwillingness, staring at Ximen Tianyu with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see all the truth from his eyes.
"So, you and Rongrong planned this rally. On the surface, it was to show Tushan's strength, but in fact, you were secretly investigating the forces behind it and looking for their flaws?"
Ximen Tianyu nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Not only that, Sister Rongrong will also use the art of disguise to let me pretend to be Tushan Honghong at the banquet. This will deter all forces."
Originally, Tushan Rongrong was going to pretend to be Tushan Rongrong herself, but she couldn't reproduce the domineering aura of Tushan Honghong. Fortunately, Ximen Tianyu had the ability of the heart mirror, which allowed him to spy on and imitate the temperament and charm of others, so he volunteered.
"But this is too dangerous." Tushan Yaya frowned, her worry evident in her words, "If it is discovered, not only will the plan fail, but your life will also be in danger."
Ximen Tianyu smiled gently, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes: "So, Sister Yaya, you have to work harder."
"I?"
Tushan Yaya didn't understand why Ximen Tianyu shifted the topic to her again.
"No matter how ingenious the plan Sister Rongrong and I have, it is only a temporary measure. Fake is always fake, and it will be exposed sooner or later. The real way to solve the problem once and for all is to let Tushan produce a new demon king."
Ximen Tianyu's words were like the morning bell and evening drum, which shocked Tushan Yaya's heart.
"You mean... let me take my sister's place?"
Tushan Yaya's voice trembled slightly, and there was both expectation and confusion in her eyes.
Ximen Tianyu took a step forward and looked at her firmly: "Yes, isn't this your sister's last wish?"
"But, I have tried very hard, but I still can't reach that threshold."
Tushan Yaya has been trying hard to do what Ximen Tianyu said, but she has never received a response from the power of heaven and earth.
The most essential difference between the Demon Emperor and the Great Demon King is that the Demon Emperor can mobilize the power of heaven and earth. To obtain this power, he must be recognized by this world. However, Tushan Yaya has not been able to touch that subtle boundary until now.
"Sister Yaya, strength doesn't just come from practice, it also comes from your heart. Think about it, how did your sister take this step back then?"
Ximen Tianyu's words were like an introduction, causing Tushan Yaya's thoughts to drift back to the past again. She still remembered that day when she had just come out of retreat, she saw her sister sitting under the bitter love tree without saying a word. It was at that moment that she became the real master of Tushan.
"The power of fox demons comes from deep emotions. Where there is emotion, there is power."
Tushan Yaya repeated this sentence in a low voice, but she still couldn't quite understand the deep meaning behind it.
"Sister Yaya, don't push yourself too hard. Everyone's understanding and growth are unique. Perhaps you don't need to imitate your sister's path."
Ximen Tianyu looked at Tushan Yaya's frown and couldn't help but comfort her.
"But there is no extra time!"
Tushan Yaya took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that what Ximen Tianyu said was true. Tushan was in a precarious situation at the moment. As long as she did not enter the realm of the Demon King, Tushan's crisis would not be resolved.
"An'er sister Yaya, sister Rongrong and I designed this delaying tactic just to buy you some time, didn't we?" "So, don't put so much pressure on yourself. You still have sister Rongrong, sister Cuiyu, and the millions of people in Tushan behind you. Their support is your strongest backing."
Ximen Tianyu calmed Tushan Yaya's inner anxiety with a relaxed tone.
"how about you?"
As if she realized that Ximen Tianyu did not mention her in his words just now, Tushan Yaya raised her head slightly and looked at him with burning eyes.
Ximen Tianyu's face froze, and he obviously didn't expect the other party to ask such a question: "After the party is over, I should leave Tushan."
"Thank you for letting me know that most monsters still desire peace, but I still have things I must do."
"We at Tushan can help you investigate the death of your parents. No matter how fast you investigate alone, you can't match Tushan's intelligence network."
Tushan Yaya immediately pointed out what Ximen Tianyu had not said.
"Thank you, Sister Yaya. But this is my personal grudge, and I don't want it to involve Tushan. Besides, I believe that with my own strength, I will be able to find the truth one day and avenge my parents."
A trace of determination flashed in Ximen Tianyu's eyes. He shook his head slightly and rejected Tushan Yaya's kindness.
"However, after I finish all these things, I can go back to Tushan to live. After all, this is my only home."
Compared with the indifference and ruthlessness of the Ximen family, Ximen Tianyu found unprecedented warmth and sense of belonging in Tushan.
"In that case, then it's a deal."
As if afraid that Ximen Tianyu would go back on his word, Tushan Yaya rushed to speak before Ximen Tianyu finished speaking.
Ximen Tianyu couldn't help but raise a warm smile when he heard this. He looked deeply at Tushan Yaya, his eyes full of longing for the future: "It's a deal, Sister Yaya. No matter where I go, Tushan will always be my home in my heart."
"Okay, then let's work together, me for Tushan's future, and you for bringing those hateful murderers to justice."
Tushan Yaya regained her vitality and her words were full of power.
"If you want revenge, your magic power is not enough."
Just as Ximen Tianyu was about to respond, a familiar voice suddenly came from another direction.
"Sister Rongrong! Why are you here?"
Ximen Tianyu subconsciously turned his head to look and found that the person coming was Tushan Rongrong.
"What do you think? I've been waiting for you in the disguise room for a full hour, but you still didn't show up, so I had no choice but to come out to look for you."
There was a hint of teasing in Tushan Rongrong's words, but her eyes showed more concern for Ximen Tianyu and Tushan Yaya.
