"Second Senior Sister?"

Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and then a pretty figure emerged from the dense bamboo leaves—it was Li Mengtang, whom he had just parted ways with yesterday.

"How did you get here?"

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed, and quickly withdrew his true energy, retracting his whip.

"Master and the others were captured by the evil spirits of the Seven Absolute Realms. I followed them all the way here, hoping to find a chance to rescue them,"

Li Mengtang said anxiously. Her gaze fell on the little hook who was clinging to him, and her eyebrows suddenly arched. "Who is she?"

"Her..."

Xiao Xuan quickly pushed the little hook away and shouted, "Stand still!"

The little hook reluctantly let go, standing meekly with her head down, looking pitiful.

"Xiao Xuan, this is a demon,"

Li Mengtang said coldly.

"I know,"

Xiao Xuan hurriedly replied.

"Knowing that, why are you still with her?"

A hint of annoyance appeared on Li Mengtang's face.

"Wait,"

Xiao Xuan said, hurriedly taking out the Starry Handkerchief from his Ruyi Pouch. He chanted the forbidden incantation Xiao Gouzi had instructed, then tossed the handkerchief into the air. A bright red light shone, and Cui Caiting, Xue Han, and the other beauties, along with Yi Xunyan, appeared in the nest, all with eerie blue skin, unconscious.

"How could they... you saved them?"

Li Mengtang asked, both delighted and surprised.

Xiao Xuan didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he could only vaguely say, "It's a long story. You should save them first."

Li Mengtang rushed forward to check on everyone's injuries, taking out many needles, pills, and other items from her magic pouch, immediately becoming very busy.

"The forbidden incantation was correct. You can leave now,"

Xiao Xuan said coldly to Xiao Gouzi. After thinking for

a moment, he handed her the Soul-Sealing Box, saying, "You can take this box and that handkerchief with you. If you use them to harm others again, you will be punished without mercy!" Xiao Gouzi was stunned. She took the Soul-Sealing Box and the Starry Handkerchief, but still lingered in the nest, lost in thought.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for me to change my mind!"

Xiao Xuan glared.

"How can I leave? There are flying boats everywhere here. One wrong move and I'll be shot to smithereens."

Xiao Gouzi said sweetly.

"Don't try anything funny!"

Xiao Xuan said sternly, "If you don't leave now, I won't let you go!"

"If you won't let me leave, then I won't leave."

Xiao Gouzi chuckled, showing no fear.

Xiao Xuan's face darkened, and he was about to explode.

Suddenly, Xiao Gouzi's eyes reddened, and she said timidly, "I really can't go back. The Queen told me to guard you, but you've escaped. Unless you come back with me, I'll skin you alive!"

Xiao Xuan was slightly taken aback and lowered his voice, "My master, my senior uncles, and my senior sisters all love killing monsters. Don't regret it if you don't go."

"Are you worried about me?"

Xiao Gouzi looked at him and smiled.

"Worried about you? Don't be so self-absorbed."

Xiao Xuan's face turned cold.

Xiao Gouzi tilted her head and looked him up and down, her smile as bright as a flower.

Xiao Xuan's face darkened, his eyebrows arching like swords.

Little Hook stepped forward and whispered, "I really can't go back. If I stay, your master and the others will kill me. So… why don't you hide me?"

"What?"

Xiao Xuan said, "Hide you? Why would I hide you?"

"Good brother, you have a kind heart, I can tell,"

Little Hook said sweetly. "Didn't Buddha say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda?"

Xiao Xuan said sternly, "Where can I hide you?"

"I have a way, just don't send me away,"

Little Hook said. "Close your eyes."

"If you dare to try anything funny, don't blame me for being ruthless,"

Xiao Xuan threatened.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, okay?"

Little Hook laughed.

Yi Xuan hesitated, closed his eyes, and waited for a while. He heard no sound from the demoness, then asked, "Are you done? I'm opening my eyes."

There was still no movement in front of him. Yi Xuan opened his eyes to find the area empty, with only the night breeze gently blowing, causing his sleeves to flutter.

"Gone?"

Yi Xuan looked around in confusion, when suddenly he heard Li Mengtang call out, "Come quickly and help!"

Yi Xuan rushed over. Li Mengtang handed him a small porcelain bottle, saying, "This is the medicine I prepared. Quickly feed it to them, one dose each. Be careful not to touch their skin; it's poisonous."

Yi Xuan took the bottle and, starting with Cui Caiting, helped them up one by one to administer the medicine.

Li Mengtang then manipulated the needles, beginning to draw blood and remove toxins from each of them.

"Is everything alright?"

Yi Xuan had complete confidence in his senior sister's medical skills. He put down Cui Caiting and then helped Xue Han up to administer the medicine.

"It's extremely serious. They've all been poisoned by the Soul-Eroding Divine Light of the Seven Absolute Realms' Ten Thousand Poisons

Old Lord. This evil technique is incredibly vicious, not only damaging their muscles and bones but also eroding their true essence," Li Mengtang said, frowning. As she spoke, she inserted several silver needles into several acupoints on Cui Caiting's body, including Tianzhu, Fengfu, and Fengchi. Then, she opened her jacket and pulled down her bodice, inserting several more silver needles into acupoints on her back, including Yufu, Xuanji, Shenque, and Shendao.

Xiao Xuan quickly turned around, his heart pounding, and asked, "Do you have a way to expel it?"

Li Mengtang shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, and I don't have enough pills on me. Right now, I can only hope to suppress the poison's effects and prevent it from completely eroding their internal organs. We'll have to deal with the rest after we leave this place."

Xiao Xuan immediately became anxious. At this moment, he was feeding Shui Ruo her medicine. Seeing her haggard face and bluish complexion, he felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

Half an incense stick later, Xiao Xuan fed Yi Xunyan the last sip of medicine, while Li Mengtang was still busy using needles to remove the poison. The women were half-undressed, leaving Xiao Xuan unsure where to look.

Li Mengtang glanced at him and said, "Alright, everything's alright for now. Go and rest for a while."

Xiao Xuan quickly got up, leaped out of the giant nest, and flew to a horizontal branch beneath it. He had fought fiercely for half a day and used magic on Bi Lianlian to extract much of her yang essence. He was extremely exhausted, but with enemies all around, he dared not sleep soundly. Therefore, he forced himself to guard the giant nest.

He gazed at the numerous flying boats soaring through the sky and couldn't help but feel anxious: "Master and the others are in imminent danger, trapped here... Alas, it's all because of me that they're in such peril..."

Then, recalling everything that had happened since descending the mountain, his heart surged with emotion: "I inexplicably got entangled with the Xuanhu, and the Heavenly Realm, the Seven Absolute Realms, and other forces have come one after another. This life of hiding and fleeing is endless. I could die if I died, but I always end up dragging down those around me... If anything happens to Shui'er and Xiao Wan because of this, I will never atone for it..."

As he pondered, he suddenly felt utterly insignificant before these powers, and gave a weak laugh: "Cui Xiaoxuan! You, you can't even protect the one you love..."

"So be it! As long as that ghost mask allows me to stand and face all this!"

Xiaoxuan gritted his teeth, a strange feeling, like an addiction, flashing through his mind regarding the Seven Evils Cover.

Thinking of this, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered the mysterious woman he had met in the Misty Forest, who laughed at him for being as weak as a newborn baby.

Xiaoxuan immediately opened his Ruyi Pouch and rummaged through it, quickly finding the Demon-Summoning Token, which was as black as ink.

"That sister said it could help me... What does it mean that it contains thirteen sinful demons?"

Xiaoxuan pondered as he fiddled with the token. As his eyes fell upon it, lines of tiny characters and exquisite patterns inexplicably appeared on the token. This was the first time he had carefully examined those images and texts; he had been astonished at a fleeting glance before, and now he was even more astonished.

“Fuzhu… Ci Tie… Ming She… Kui Niu… Heavens, could it really be true?”

Xiao Xuan muttered to himself, eagerly continuing to look down.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard someone softly calling from above, “Xiao Xuan, where are you?”

Xiao Xuan was startled, then snapped out of his shock, quickly stuffing the demon-summoning token into his robes and replying, “I’m here.”

“Come up quickly,”

Li Mengtang said.

Xiao Xuan quickly leaped back to the giant nest, where he saw Li Mengtang sitting and holding Cui Caiting, her hand on her forehead, looking utterly dejected. He asked in alarm, "How are Master and the others?"

"It's still not working… I've done my best, but many of the necessary medicines aren't here."

Li Mengtang shook her head with her eyes closed, her voice trembling slightly, "They won't last much longer…"

Xiao Xuan's mind raced. He suddenly remembered that there were many medicinal herbs in Bai Mei Weng's Mystic Source, and hurriedly said, "I know a place with herbs; let's go there and look for them now."

"But…"

Li Mengtang took a deep breath, but suddenly burst into tears, "There are enemies all around! How can we get out?"

Xiao Xuan looked at her in surprise; this was the first time he had ever seen her cry.

Li Mengtang graduated from the Supreme Mystic Sect, one of the most prestigious sects in the Immortal Realm. After leaving the mountain, she joined the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, a powerful organization dedicated to exorcising demons and monsters. Coupled with her exceptional medical skills and the countless lives she saved, she was deeply loved and cherished. Although she had experienced many hardships and dangers, she had always had many people by her side to protect and care for her. She had never been in such a perilous and helpless situation before. Surrounded by powerful enemies, burdened by immense responsibility, and utterly exhausted, she finally broke down.

Xiao Xuan knelt down, raising his hand to gently wipe away the tears streaming down her face, his heart aching with heartache.

Li Mengtang let out a long sigh. This release finally calmed her emotions somewhat. Her face flushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Then, she realized with a start, "How could I be so weak in front of my junior brother at such a critical moment!"

Thinking this, she quickly wiped away the tears with her sleeve, but a few tiny, glistening teardrops still clung to her long eyelashes, trembling slightly, beautiful as a dream.

Xiao Xuan gazed at her, vowing in his heart, "No matter what, I must ensure they leave this place unharmed, even if it means being shattered to pieces!"

Li Mengtang smiled awkwardly, trying to cover it up, "Oh, I don't know what happened just now, I suddenly... made you laugh at me."

"Don't worry, we'll leave here now, Master and the others will be alright, I promise,"

Xiao Xuan said softly.

Li Mengtang looked at him with slight surprise.

Xiao Xuan smiled, his eyes calm and firm, with a calmness that said, "Even if the sky falls, I'll bear it."

This was no longer the mischievous and playful junior brother from Xiaoyao Peak. A strange feeling, one she had never experienced before, suddenly welled up in Li Mengtang's heart.

Xiao Xuan resolutely stood up, opened his Ruyi Pouch, and chanted incantations. Suddenly, several melodious neighs were heard, and a carriage pulled by four strange beasts appeared in the giant nest.

"Ah, this is... a Deer-like Beast?"

Li Mengtang was slightly surprised, immediately recognizing the four strange beasts.

Xiao Xuan bent down and lifted Cui Caiting from her lap, carefully placing her in the car seat, then went to lift Shui Ruo.

Li Mengtang hurriedly got up to help him move the people, asking, "Where did this car come from?"

"He Tianpeng gave it to me to repay my savior!"

Xiao Xuan said readily, bending down to lift Yi Xunyan. The tattered shirt fluttered open, revealing a bright red handkerchief around her waist, vividly bright in the darkness.

Li Mengtang was suddenly stunned, completely frozen.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Xuan drove the Deer-Shu Carriage stealthily through the gaps between the flying boats.

The beauties and Yi Xunyan remained unconscious, and Li Mengtang silently guarded the back seat, holding the wooden bow.

Afraid of alerting the enemy, Xiao Xuan controlled the Deer-Shu Carriage to fly at an extremely slow speed.

"Looks like they haven't spotted us. We can break through after passing these two flying boats." Xiao Xuan 　　said

excitedly, his voice low. He didn't hear Li Mengtang's reply, so he turned around and saw her staring blankly at him.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuan asked. 　　Li Mengtang seemed to snap out of a daze, turning her face away in a fluster, saying, "Nothing." 　　Xiao Xuan was surprised to find a thin blush on her snowy cheeks, and frowned, "Don't lie, really nothing?" 　　Li Mengtang bit her lip, suddenly turned back, and stared intently at him, saying, "Okay, neither of you are allowed to lie. I'll ask you—" 　　Just then, several earth-shaking thunderclaps rang out, and flames shot high into the distance to the south, illuminating a large part of the sky. 　　Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "They've started attacking Giant Bamboo Fortress!" 　　"Who's attacking Giant Bamboo Fortress?" 　　Li Mengtang was stunned. "Isn't Giant Bamboo Fortress in the Seven Evil Realms?" 　　"Giant Bamboo Fortress has already been recaptured by the Spirit Bamboo Clan," 　　Xiao Xuan said, a wave of worry washing over him as he thought of E'yan. 　　"How do you know?" 　　Li Mengtang asked. 　　"I..." 　　Xiao Xuan mumbled, "I heard it." 　　One by one, the flying ships in the sky lit up, their brilliant lights illuminating the night sky like daytime, revealing their menacing appearance: each warship had an astonishingly long ram at its bow, two giant crossbows on the forward deck, and three stories high in the middle, over five zhang tall, carrying rows of armored soldiers standing solemnly in formation, all flying towards the direction of Giant Bamboo Fortress. The Deer 　　-Shu chariot was about to pass between two flying ships, extremely close, and was immediately illuminated by the sudden light. The two flying ships converged, blocking their path like mountains. 　　"They've spotted us!" 　　Li Mengtang's face paled, a chill running through her heart. 　　Xiao Xuan raised his Flaming Dragon Whip high, unleashing a burst of intense flames in the air, and the four Deer-Shu rushed faster and faster. 　　"Turn around! You can't get through!"

Li Mengtang was shocked.

Xiao Xuan, however, seemed oblivious, whipping the boats repeatedly as if trying to ram them into the two flying ships.

The four crossbows on the two flying ships rapidly adjusted their direction, all aiming at the reckless little thing charging straight at them. At the same time, the rows of armored warriors standing on the ship's side also drew their cold, gleaming weapons. Suddenly,

Xiao Xuan pulled out the inky black Demon-Summoning Decree from his robes, solemnly closed his eyes, and began chanting incantations. Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded overhead, and the sky and earth lit up. A huge demon, over ten feet tall, appeared in the void. It had white hair and a red face, resembling an ape, with an extremely ferocious and malevolent appearance. It wore a long robe and a strange armor, with red flames surging on the armor, like molten lava constantly leaping. It held a long-handled sword about twenty or thirty feet long, the back of which was engraved with a hundred demons playing, and the blade was shrouded in a thick, dark blue halo, blurry and eerie.

Accompanying this was a palpable, malevolent aura that spread in all directions like a raging torrent. Even from a distance of over ten zhang, some people on the Sky-Piercing Flying Boat were plunging headfirst into the air.

"Thunderbolt Armor, Hundred Demon Blades..."

Li Mengtang was already exhausted, completely unable to withstand this overwhelming malevolent aura. She nearly collapsed onto her seat, exclaiming in disbelief, "Could it be... could it be..."

"Hey!"

the giant demon roared, its voice echoing through the heavens and earth: "Who's tired of living? How dare you arrest me here!"

Xiao Xuan's heart pounded, and he struggled with all his might against the overwhelming aura. He forcefully raised the command token high in his hand and shouted sharply: "You sinful demon Ma Hua! Do you recognize this token?"

The giant demon was immediately moved. It stared at the command token with its two terrifying eyes for a moment, then suddenly bowed and kowtowed, its clothes trembling with fear, saying: "So it was summoned by my lord. This sinful demon has been waiting for a long time. What are your orders, my lord?"

Li Mengtang was dumbfounded, unable to believe her ears: "Heavens! It really is Ma Hua, the king of the Zhu Yan tribe who roamed the demon realm. It is said that he raised an army and rebelled thousands of years ago. He was personally subdued by the little demon queen and imprisoned in the imperial prison. How could he suddenly appear here? And call me lord?"

Xiao Xuan felt relieved and shouted loudly: "You clear the way. Anyone who obstructs—kill without mercy!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ma Hua responded immediately, raising his head sharply, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, roaring angrily, "Who dares to stop my lord?"

Before his voice faded, he casually swung his demonic blade, instantly cleaving the colossal, whale-like flying boat blocking his path in two. With a terrifying crash, over a hundred evil-armored soldiers on board were sent flying in all directions amidst the shattered armor and debris.

"Children, come out and have some fun!"

Ma Hua shouted fiercely, whipping his robe behind him. Suddenly, hundreds of gray-white shadows shot out from his body like meteors. They were also ape-like in appearance, only much smaller in size, yet each one was as fast as lightning. The foremost ones even smashed through the heavily armored evil-armored warriors with their bare hands, leaving them mangled beyond recognition.

Only now did Xiao Xuan truly understand the annotation on the Demon-Suppressing Order: Ma Hua, King of the Zhu Yan Clan, guilty of rebellion, sentenced to 5,900 years in prison. Skilled in battle, with 300 clan soldiers.

Li Mengtang recalled a passage from the *Zhou Tian Zhu Ling Bang* (List of Spirits of the Heavens), which she had helped compile: "Zhu Yan, an ancient mythical beast, born with skin of copper and bones of iron, capable of killing tigers and leopards; its appearance foretells a great

war." Xiao Xuan was filled with shock. He took the Demon-Summoning Token before him, his gaze falling on another passage of text visible only to him: "Bu Xi, King of the Roaring Clan, guilty of disturbing the Holy Emperor, sentenced to 3,700 years in prison. A skilled fighter, he once won tenth place

in the Free and Unfettered Tournament." As his gaze moved, a vividly colored picture on the token slowly lit up. It depicted a beast, resembling a galloping horse, its body wreathed in crimson scales and flames. Its left claw gripped several frantically struggling dragons, while its right claw trampled several dying serpents. Chest out and head held high, it exuded an extremely arrogant and ferocious aura.

Xiao Xuan solemnly closed his eyes, held the decree to his chest, and began to chant a strange, complex, and lengthy incantation: "Born before heaven and earth, through countless eons of supreme power and might, the supreme true saint of the infinitely vast demon realm decrees: All those who believe in me, whether born from eggs, wombs, or moisture, will be blessed with my grace and endless life, and will be blessed with my grace and reincarnation in every lifetime… The

supreme true saint of the infinitely vast demon realm, all guards of the prison, heed my decree

! The sinful demon Bu Xi, come quickly to receive my command…" (End of Volume Ten)
