Feng jiu's statement would have serious consequences if it was true. Lian song and mo yuan gaped at what she had just said. in order to get a confirmation for her statement, they looked at dong hua but the old god was just staring at her with a face devoid of expressions. Finding no answer to his questions this way, mo yuan spoke up, "how is that possible? How can hellfire give life to demons?"
While the question was directed towards feng jiu, it was dong hua that answered, "It is very much possible, mo yuan. Hellfire is the base power of xaio bai's innate phoenix form. since she is the source of all life forms, it is not too farfetched to infer that the powers of her inherent self would embody some part of the creation magic of her primordial spirit. And if you think about it with reference to the pieces of evidence and instances that we have seen, this is the only plausible explanation that ties together all these events that have been happening over the years. With what xaio bai had just told us, we have very little time left before even stronger demon spirits are awakened from that burial site and the eastern desert bell is reignited by these ancient demons."
"so, what do we do now, dijun?" lian song asked with his voice reflecting the concern that had crept upon him.
"the happenings of the ancient demon burial site are against the laws of nature. No being once dead should be brought back to life again; it upsets the balance of nature. This deed needs to be punished appropriately and no seal would be an adequate penalty for it. To stop the current situation from escalating and prevent this from happening again in the future, I need to purify that entire piece of land. As for the matters of the eastern desert bell and its hellfire, I believe that decision rests with the source and creator of hellfire. Only the queen of living can decide the forward course of action for that case." Dong hua said with his eyes resting on feng jiu's face. he noticed the surprise spreading through her when he deferred to her for the matter concerning the eastern desert bell.
With eyes wide and brows climbed high up her forehead, she reconfirmed, "are you sure, dong hua? This is a huge matter; you should be the one making decisions here."
He wrapped an arm around her waist and softly yet with a firm voice said, "this is your decision to make, xaio bai. it took me a long time to understand this but I get it now. I can't make the decisions that rest on your shoulders. by doing so I am just delaying the inevitable and prolonging fate. I can only support your choices and hope that before making every decision you will keep me in your heart and mind. so, no matter what you decide from now on, you have my full support. I trust you, my love."
At his words, feng jiu's eyes started to fill up. she gently caressed the side of his face and said, "thank you, dong hua. I will never let you down. "
A moment later, dong hua and feng jiu broke apart to face the two men beside them. feng jiu took stock of the situation before saying, "dong hua, you need to hurry with the purification of the demon burial site. If the demons spread out over the realms, it would be hard to hunt down each one separately."
While dong hua gave a firm nod, lian song interjected, "but what about the demons here? We still have a war going on. also dijun, would you be going alone to face off against those demons?"
Although the questions were directed towards dong hua, it was feng jiu that answered with an arched eyebrow and a cold, hard voice, "lian song, do you doubt my husband's competency at handling a couple hundred thousand demons? Have you forgotten who you are talking about?"
While lian song looked taken aback at the implication behind feng jiu's words, dong hua buried his face in her hair and gave out a low chuckle.
"you misunderstand me, your majesty. your servant was just concerned for his master's safety."lian song said with a deep bow.
