The Carefree Little Immortal (Complete) - 39

The outcome of the fourth breakout

surprised even Xiao Xuan himself. Without time to ponder, he rushed towards the fallen Devouring General. The

Devouring General leaped up, its two massive, iron-pillar-like arms slamming down with tremendous force, instantly shattering the surrounding walls and debris like mud and paper, creating a terrifying spectacle.

Suddenly, with a sharp "rip," a large piece of Xiao Xuan's clothing was torn open by the Devouring General's claw-like appendage on its left arm, blood spurting from its chest. But Xiao Xuan seemed oblivious, relentlessly pushing his way into the Devouring General's defensive perimeter.

The Devouring General roared, the Taotie tattooed on its chest and abdomen suddenly becoming vibrant, a blue light flashing above its head, revealing a colossal creature.

But Xiao Xuan had already broken through the defenses, pressing against its massive body and unleashing a flurry of powerful blows with his Soul-Slaying Shield, producing a series of dull, solid sounds.

The Devouring General howled in pain. He possessed a protective demonic art that made him impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire, but it was utterly useless now. With each blow, it felt as if he were being struck by lightning, his internal organs churning. The already clear image of the Taotie above him began to tremble.

"How dare you hurt my senior sister!" Xiao Xuan roared furiously. Although she knew it was the Seven Evils on his face causing the commotion, she couldn't control it at all.

The Devouring General was both shocked and enraged. His massive size made him extremely vulnerable to close combat. He kicked off with his giant legs and retreated rapidly, hoping to create distance.

But Xiao Xuan followed him like a shadow, darting around him like lightning. The Soul-Slaying Shield on his arm shone brightly, its purple light growing increasingly intense, strangely dazzling in the dim light.

The Devouring General roared, and the Taotie image above flickered on and off before suddenly lunging at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan used his shield to block, but the areas not covered were torn to shreds. Suddenly, he felt something rush into him, swirling within his body like a raging wave. His true energy expanded as if about to explode, and the Soul-Slaying Shield thrust forward, striking the Devouring General squarely in the chest and abdomen.

The Devouring General stared in disbelief, his massive body blasted off the ground. Clear lightning patterns were imprinted on his chest and abdomen by the Soul-Slaying Shield, with fine electric currents crackling within them, occasionally bursting into sparks.

Xiao Xuan swiftly swung his right arm, and the Soul-Binding Chains, like a purple dragon, chased after him into the air, tightly binding the Devouring General.

The Devouring General reached out to grab the chains, trying to break free, but suddenly a strange force surged through the chains, instantly paralyzing him as if struck by lightning.

Xiao Xuan glanced at the silver-haired man playing the zither, and with a sudden tug and flick of his arm, tossed the trapped Devouring General towards him.

Wu Shi sighed softly, and he and the demonic zither floating before him moved aside, barely avoiding the massive, mountain-like Devouring General.

His hands continued to pluck the strings, but the music had become slightly disordered.

Yi Xunyan, with his extraordinary cultivation, immediately seized this fleeting opportunity. His true energy surged, finally breaking free from the suppression of the music, and he leaped from the ground, drifting towards Wu Shi like a wisp of smoke.

Wu Shi retreated swiftly, his ten fingers swung in unison, and the wall behind him collapsed without warning.

Yi Xunyan followed closely, a dragon of energy already faintly forming in his sleeve.

In the blink of an eye, the two flew out of the inn, one after the other.

Xiao Xuan turned and ran back to Li Mengtang.

Li Mengtang was startled and instinctively shrank back.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were torn, his exposed muscles bulged, and with the ferocious Seven Evils covering his body, he was indeed a terrifying sight.

"Can you walk?" Xiao Xuan asked.

Although his voice was unusually hoarse, it still made Li Mengtang's heart skip a beat, and she wondered why the voice sounded so familiar. She nodded, gripped the wooden bow tightly, and struggled to stand up, but before her legs could straighten, she slumped back down.

Xiao Xuan suddenly leaned down and grabbed her slender wrist.

"You... what are you doing?" Li Mengtang asked in a panic.

Xiao Xuan pulled her up and carried her on his back without explanation.

Only then did Li Mengtang realize that he wanted to take her away, and her jade-like cheeks flushed unconsciously. She asked timidly, "Who are you?"

"Hold me tight!" Xiao Xuan said.

There was no other way at the moment, so Li Mengtang could only put the wooden bow into her magic pouch, then wrap her arms around his neck, her body stiff, trying to keep a certain distance between her chest and his back.

Xiao Xuan carried her and rushed out.

As soon as they stepped out of the inn, a horde of evil corpses howled and pounced. Xiao Xuan swung his right hand, and the Soul-Binding Chain flashed out like lightning, instantly whipping away the first few evil corpses.

But more evil corpses noticed them and rushed towards them, brandishing their weapons.

Xiao Xuan leaped into the air, sometimes onto the rooftops, sometimes down to the ground, fighting off enemies while looking around, but he couldn't see Cui Caiting and the others, nor could he find Yi Xunyan, who was chasing Wu Shi.

Li Mengtang took the opportunity to close her eyes and regulate her breathing, using the time on his back to heal herself. The

number of evil corpses around them increased, and Xiao Xuan charged back and forth, each time he killed one, he felt something mysterious rush into his body, gathering into a surging torrent within him, making him feel both angry and frenzied, his muscles tense to the point of spasm, and his attacks became even more fierce and ruthless.

The evil corpses surged like a tide, but none could get close; the slightest touch of the Soul-Binding Chain sent them flying, some even dismembered.

Above the black clouds.

All the evil corpses stared down, their faces unmoved.

"As expected, it's here." The Little Demon Lord suddenly chuckled softly, a twisted expression appearing on his pale face.

"The method of tracking the Deer-like creature is a family secret technique, absolutely foolproof," He Tianpeng, kneeling on the cloud, hurriedly said, his face full of obsequious flattery.

Qi Ji stared coldly at him, a chill flashing in her eyes.

"That mask looks like the Seven Absolutes Holy Cover..." someone among the demons said.

"That's right, it's definitely the Holy Cover, I saw it back then!" someone immediately chimed in.

The demons stirred.

"Take that little fox, alive," the Little Demon Lord said weakly.

Elder Bu nodded, about to speak, when the Little Demon Lord added, "Furthermore, the Seven Deadly Treasures are sacred treasures of this realm; they must not be damaged in the slightest."

Elder Bu bowed in agreement, then suddenly shouted, "Seven Deadly Treasures, heed my command!"

Li Mengtang used her internal energy to heal herself. She possessed unique skills in healing arts, and although her injuries were severe, they had not fundamentally damaged her, and she had recovered somewhat in a short time.

Suddenly, her face flushed, as if splashed with something. Opening her eyes, she was horrified to see a long gash on the left shoulder of the mysterious person carrying her, blood gushing from the wound and splattering on her face.

A monster without lower limbs crept stealthily through the air, its sharp hook still dripping blood.

"Ah!" Li Mengtang cried out softly.

Little Xuan, however, seemed oblivious, roaring and leaping forward, instantly appearing before the monster.

The monster raised its hook to meet the attack, its moves bizarre and comical, yet exceptionally ruthless and swift, quickly engaging Xiao Xuan in a fierce battle.

This creature was extremely hideous; it had no legs, and most of its head was missing. Li Mengtang suddenly felt a chill and cried out, "Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency!"

Xiao Xuan unleashed a barrage of attacks, each strike more painful than the last, raining down on the monster like a storm.

Finally, the monster seemed unable to withstand the onslaught, and suddenly, taking advantage of a powerful blow from Xiao Xuan, it was sent flying back, disappearing into the dense mass of evil corpses.

Xiao Xuan relentlessly pursued, and with a swift chain strike, cleaved an evil corpse that tried to block its way in two.

Unexpectedly, the resistance suddenly increased. Several demon generals suddenly appeared among the horde of evil corpses, all of them strangely shaped, with missing or mutilated limbs and facial features: one was armless, wielding a cloak with a bladed edge; one had a collapsed face and wielded a large iron cone; one was eyeless and held a slingshot; one was noseless and wielded two swords of different lengths; one was earless and wielded two cymbals; one was tongueless and empty-handed; they surrounded him and Li Mengtang.

Xiao Xuan shouted and swung his chain, and sparks flew everywhere, knocking several demon generals away one after another. However, the remaining demon generals immediately filled the gaps and continued to press forward from all directions.

Li Mengtang glanced around and quickly discerned their origins from their appearances and weapons. She was increasingly astonished: "All seven demons have come!"

These seven generals were originally seven powerful demons who ruled over different regions. Besides Tiancan and Dique, the others were named Liangxiu Qingfeng, Meishan Xianren, Guangzhao Renwu, Henhe, and Dugu Wuyan, collectively known as the Seven Crippled Evil Fiends. Each was ruthless and bloodthirsty; wherever they appeared, bloodshed and devastation followed. They were deeply resented by the righteous path. Before being subdued by the Seven Absolute Demon Lord and brought to the Seven Absolute Realms, the Heavenly Dao Pavilion and the Evil-Repelling Palace had repeatedly ambushed and suppressed them, all unsuccessfully. Unexpectedly, they had all appeared here today.

Xiao Xuan was surrounded, yet showed no fear, charging left and right among the demons, gradually rising from the ground to the air. His fighting spirit ignited, he even unleashed his shield and chains, attacking without defending.

Li Mengtang, watching from his back, gasped in horror: "To fight against so many alone, yet use such a method, isn't he just courting death!"

Sure enough, Xiao Xuan was quickly struck; a long gash appeared on the outside of his left leg from the dagger wielded by the accomplices. But he thrust out his left arm, striking his opponent with lightning speed. The

horde of demons swarmed forward, weapons flying, and Xiao Xuan was wounded repeatedly, his body instantly covered in blood. Yet, he remained incredibly brave, stubbornly fighting back amidst the danger.

"Right rear!" Li Mengtang suddenly exclaimed.

A cloak covered in eerie runes floated silently over, its sharp edge almost slicing Xiao Xuan's neck.

Xiao Xuan whirled around, swiftly pulling his chain, and with a series of clanging sounds, the Soul Binding Cloak became entangled with it.

Suddenly, a sharp clang rang out, and Xiao Xuan felt as if something tangible had struck his head, his mind instantly blurring.

Li Mengtang, behind him, was also affected. Though not the first to be hit, her injuries were too severe to resist. A wave of dizziness washed over her, and her arms, which had been holding Xiao Xuan, loosened, causing her to fall.

Xiao Xuan suddenly felt a lightness behind him and, in his dazed state, desperately reached back to grab her, only to hear a tearing sound. He grabbed a ripped piece of her sleeve. At that moment, a burst of golden light erupted from the side, and a pair of golden cymbals whirled and slashed towards him.

Xiao Xuan roared, instantly raising his true energy to its limit. His Soul-Binding Technique leaped like a dragon, its purple light flashing, tearing large pieces from his tangled cloak of runes. Ignoring the approaching cymbals, he turned and darted downwards, chasing after the falling Li Mengtang.

The cymbals, as if with eyes, twisted in mid-air, following closely behind.

After leaving the mountain, Li Mengtang followed Xuehan into the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. Over the years, she had vanquished countless demons and monsters, experiencing countless battles and encountering numerous dangers. Her ability to react in the face of enemies was extraordinary. In her dizziness, she knew something was wrong. She decisively gathered her true energy and, at the cost of damaging her true essence, used a flying technique to stop her fall. However, misfortune struck again. Suddenly, a roar was heard, followed by a strong gust of wind. A gigantic figure rapidly enlarged, and it was none other than the Devouring Heaven General, rushing up from below.

Li Mengtang's face paled, but she was already at her limit and powerless to resist. She could only watch helplessly as the Devouring Heaven General charged towards her like a thunderbolt. In that critical moment, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist as Xiao Xuan grabbed her from behind. By then, the Devouring Heaven General had already attacked, and there was no time to dodge. Xiao Xuan quickly pulled Li Mengtang into his arms and shielded her with his body.

With a loud "bang," the Devouring Heaven General's giant fist slammed into the Soul-Slaying Shield like lightning. Xiao Xuan bounced up as if hit by an explosion, managing to block it to the side, but his back was wide open, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain as the golden cymbals were slashing at him.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan was wearing the Seven Absolute Cover, which not only greatly increased his combat power but also significantly dulled his sense of pain. However, he didn't know whether the golden cymbals were some kind of rare treasure or if they were imbued with some evil power. Xiao Xuan only felt excruciating pain. Before he could recover, he saw a large number of runes dancing beside him, and he was immediately trapped in a quagmire, unable to move or use his footwork.

At this moment, General Devouring Heaven arrived again, his giant fist striking with thunderous force. Xiao Xuan struggled to parry, desperately protecting his senior sister in his arms with his shield and body. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his lower back; he had been ambushed again by Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency. A sharp hook pierced through his body, nearly tearing out his spleen. Xiao Xuan roared and retaliated, unleashing his Soul-Binding Lightning Whip, which struck Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency's face with unbelievable speed.

Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency groaned and staggered back. Xiao Xuan's head suddenly throbbed violently; he had been struck by General Devouring Heaven's giant fist. This blow was no small matter, and Xiao Xuan immediately began to fall dizzily, his arms still tightly holding Li Mengtang in his embrace.

At this moment, they were still more than ten feet above the ground, their fall rapid, and the evil spirits continued their relentless pursuit.

In the blink of an eye, they were on the ground, headfirst. Li Mengtang gasped in shock. Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he twisted violently, flipping himself over. A loud crash followed as the two slammed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Because Xiao Xuan was underneath them, the impact on Li Mengtang was minimal.

"You…" she murmured, filled with astonishment, staring at the bloodshot eyes within the hideous mask. A strange, inexplicable feeling welled up inside her.

Xiao Xuan struggled to his feet, vomiting a mouthful of blood. He stared blankly at his reflection in the blood.

"Who is this person? Why did he risk his life to save me?" Li Mengtang wondered, her mind filled with questions.

A strange shriek echoed in the air, and a horde of evil pursued them. All around, countless grotesque corpses were closing in.

Li Mengtang sighed softly, despair returning to her heart.

"Hold on tight!" Xiao Xuan murmured.

"Ah?" Li Mengtang was shocked. This exhausted and battered man was still going to fight?

"Quick!" Xiao Xuan gritted his teeth and shouted, his voice hoarse like that of a wounded beast. He pulled Li Mengtang to her feet, swaying, blood and sweat dripping down their faces, falling from their elbows and clothes into the swirling dust.

Li Mengtang finally stopped hesitating and resolutely tightened her arms, hugging his shoulders and back tightly.

Xiao Xuan suddenly felt a warm current coming from where they were touching, and instantly felt refreshed and comfortable.

It turned out that Li Mengtang, disregarding her serious injuries and risking damage to her true energy, had used the most powerful healing technique in the Five Elements of Ruyi, but also the most energy-consuming, "Return to Life."

Of course, she knew that such a forced exertion of spiritual energy would only worsen her injuries, but since this person had risked his life to save her, how could she not repay him with her own?

Xiao Xuan muttered something under his breath, then suddenly leaped into the air like a dragon, instantly engaging the demons in fierce combat once more.

This time, the battle was even more brutal; Xiao Xuan was wounded repeatedly, but the attacking demons were also inexplicably injured as well.

The Devouring Heaven General suddenly roared and retreated. Although he was still several feet away from Xiao Xuan, a long, wide gash suddenly appeared in his abdomen, gushing out large amounts of blood, making the Taotie tattooed on his chest and abdomen even more ferocious and terrifying.

"Clang!" Another sound rang out. Xiao Xuan turned around angrily, ignoring what was happening behind him. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he swiftly brandished his cymbals, retreating rapidly as if defending against something. Suddenly, he roared, and a large spray of blood erupted from his right shoulder, followed by the sight of his arm being severed from his body.

Li Mengtang was greatly surprised. Observing closely, she finally discovered a faint, ethereal shadow flitting about, swift as lightning and unpredictable. Wherever it went, demons were injured. Despite her vast knowledge, she couldn't immediately discern what it was.

"Something's strange!" "What is that!" "It must be some evil thing that bastard released!" The demons roared angrily. They were all vicious and ruthless fiends, and instead of retreating in their fury, they pressed forward, their attacks growing ever more intense.

Various weapons attacked from all directions. Xiao Xuan tightly protected the jade-like woman, shielding her from the attacks, his body covered in blood.

Seeing him injured several times, all to protect her, Li Mengtang cried out urgently, "Don't worry about me!"

Xiao Xuan wouldn't listen. He was consumed by rage, seemingly oblivious to his own injuries, but a single thought remained in his mind: he was determined not to let his senior sister in his arms suffer any harm.

Whether the evil spirits noticed this or not, suddenly several sharp whistles rang out, and several streaks of dark light swept towards Li Mengtang's head. Xiao Xuan drew his whip and shield, but it was too late to dodge. He simply turned his body, using his back to block the dark light.

Li Mengtang cried out in alarm, hearing several muffled thuds as her face was violently thrown away by the shockwave from the mysterious man's chest.

Xiao Xuan staggered, then turned and lunged at the nearest enemy, this time even more frantically, completely ignoring the incoming weapons. He let the enemy's blades slash at his shoulders, smashing them away with his shield. Aside from shielding Li Mengtang in his arms, he was completely defenseless against all attacks.

Li Mengtang was trembling with grief, ignoring her own injuries, desperately channeling her spiritual energy to heal him.

Even so, Li Mengshang's healing speed was far from keeping up with the speed of Xiao Xuan's injury. However, at this moment, Xiao Xuan's heart was pounding like a drum, his muscles were trembling and spasming, and he felt mysterious things rushing in from all directions, penetrating his body and surging wildly within him, making him feel as if he possessed the power to devour the heavens and destroy the earth.

Above the clouds.

"Something seems wrong. That little fox is getting stronger and stronger as it fights." An old man holding a banner and wearing a bright red robe said.

"In that case, the mask on Xuanhu's face must be the Holy Cover." Elder Bu said.

"Besides the Holy Cover, the little fox seems to have some other powerful treasure to help him. I'm afraid Qi Can won't be able to defeat him." Another bald old man in a green robe said.

"The Xuanhu lineage is never to be underestimated..." The red-robed old man sighed.

"The Holy Cover has the power to gather the Seven Absolutes. I'm afraid many techniques in our realm can be countered by it. We should send other troops." The green-robed old man said.

"In our realm, there are few who are not overcome by the Holy Cover..." Elder Bu murmured, glancing at Qi Ji beside the Little Demon Lord.

Qi Ji unconsciously bit her lip, her eyes lowered as she gazed at the clouds.

"Enough with the nonsense! All of you, attack! This time, we cannot afford to fail!" The Little Demon Lord, seated in his palanquin, suddenly roared.

The red-robed elder raised his eyebrows slightly, looking indifferent, while the green-robed elder remained expressionless, seemingly not having heard.

Only Elder Bu slowly bowed in response, turned to the group of demons, and shouted, "The Desire and Jealousy factions, protect the young master! The Wrath, Hatred, Cruelty, Pride, and Greed factions, follow me to capture the Xuanhu!" With that, he waved his sleeve and led his men away.

Instantly, less than half of the people remained on the clouds.

The green-robed elder suddenly said, "Wu Shi seems unable to control the Lone Smoke from Beyond the Sky. I will go and lend him a hand."

The Little Demon Lord remained noncommittal, only staring down at the clouds with a gloomy face.

The old man in green robes bowed slightly, his feet sinking into the clouds as he slowly disappeared.

The Little Demon Lord suddenly turned to Qi Ji and said, "You go too."

Qi Ji, seemingly lost in thought, was slightly taken aback. "Me?"

"Go help Elder Bu bring that little fox back, alive," the Little Demon Lord said expressionlessly.

"Oh right!" The alluring fox-like beauty on the other side chuckled. "Sister Qi, I've heard your tail is incredibly powerful. Go and sting that little fox hard!"

Qi Ji's cheeks flushed crimson, her face contorted with anger.

The alluring fox-like beauty stuck out her tongue, made a face at her, and said sweetly, "Young Master, wait! Sister, aren't you going yet?"

Qi Ji glanced at the Little Demon Lord, then suddenly leaped into the air, soaring out of the clouds.

The battle in mid-air had reached a fever pitch.

Several more streaks of dark light flashed, splattering blood across Xiao Xuan's left shoulder. Almost simultaneously, a large iron spike slammed into his back, but Xiao Xuan swiftly spun in mid-air, his Soul-Slaying Shield on his left arm cleaving diagonally across the attacker's chest.

The one wielding the spike was none other than the Faceless One of the Seven Deadly Fiends. He stared at Xiao Xuan in astonishment, seemingly unable to comprehend how this man could withstand his thunderous blow. Looking at his chest where the Soul-Slaying Shield was embedded, he suddenly let out a wail, his entire body slumping and convulsing as he hung precariously on the shield.

Xiao Xuan slammed him away, then turned to confront the Arrogant One, who was holding a slingshot, about ten feet away.

The Arrogant One's face twitched slightly, and he fired rapidly. Although he was blind, his shots were extremely accurate, each one aimed at Xiao Xuan's vital points.

Xiao Xuan turned around, moved Li Mengtang to his side, and raised his shield to block several streaks of dark light. However, three projectiles imbued with powerful evil energy still curved around the Soul-Slaying Shield and struck his shoulder in succession. Blood gushed from the mangled bullet holes, but Xiao Xuan continued forward resolutely, step by step closing in on the enemy.

"Is this guy made of iron?" Li Mengtang was stunned.

Just then, another shadow appeared silently behind Xiao Xuan, two demonic claws wreathed in azure energy slashing towards the back of his head. Their eerie speed was no less than that of the Skeleton Ancestor's annihilation.

The attacker was none other than the Speechless One of the Seven Deadly Evils. This move was called "Ghostly Cries and Gods' Lamentations," an extremely vicious technique. The claws were imbued with evil energy that destroyed all kinds of protective true energy; those struck by it would have their true energy extinguished and be shattered to pieces. Just as Li Mengtang was about to scream, a bloodcurdling scream rang out. Speechless, she stumbled backward, a spray of blood gushing from her ripped chest.

Xiao Xuan, without turning back, strode towards the man with no one in sight.

Li Mengtang was utterly astonished. Straining her eyes, she finally caught sight of the mysterious figure she had seen before, flashing past the blue flames shimmering on the horizon. The man

with no one in sight unleashed a flurry of arrows, his heart suddenly pounding. He was blind, unable to see his surroundings, and filled with shock and doubt.

Li Mengtang was also suddenly terrified. A powerful aura had swept over her, an aura strangely malevolent one. Li Mengtang, severely injured, was powerless to resist. Her body went numb, and even breathing became difficult. The

man with no one in sight trembled, his bowstring taut, yet he dared not release it. This aura was powerful and familiar. He pondered deeply, when suddenly, a powerful and terrifying image flooded his mind, almost causing him to collapse.

Xiao Xuan let out a sinister laugh and strode to the side of the Arrogant One. Li Mengtang was shocked to realize that this incredibly malevolent aura emanated from him. The

Arrogant One was originally a powerful demon, with considerable cultivation, and could usually unleash his aura to suppress enemies, but now he was completely powerless to resist.

The surrounding enemies were also inexplicably terrified, and one by one began to retreat stealthily.

Xiao Xuan took another step forward, pouring surging, fiery true energy into the Soul-Slaying and Soul-Binding techniques, which exploded into a burst of thunder and lightning.

His arrogant will finally crumbled completely. His knees buckled, and he knelt before Xiao Xuan, crying out as if possessed, "Demon Lord, spare me!"

Xiao Xuan was taken aback. He kicked him away, sending him flying. He turned his head arrogantly, seeing that all his remaining enemies had vanished. However, at this moment, he felt an immense surge of power and killing intent boiling within him, suddenly unable to release it. He let out a low growl of unbearable frustration.

Suddenly, a large black cloud descended from the sky, surging towards them like a raging torrent. Even a hundred feet away, various kinds of malevolent auras swept over them.

Li Mengtang's expression changed drastically. Since leaving the mountain, she had never encountered such powerful malevolent auras. It seemed that the Seven Evil Realms had mobilized all their forces; in her memory, this was the first time in nearly a hundred years.

Xiao Xuan trembled violently, his fighting spirit increasing exponentially. His eyes bloodshot, he was about to charge forward.

"No!" Li Mengtang exclaimed.

Xiao Xuan's momentum faltered, and he stopped in his tracks.

Li Mengtang said with difficulty, "This wave of enemies... these enemies are no small matter. Among them are probably some great demons who are elders of the Seven Evil Realms. You are alone and cannot fight them head-on."

Xiao Xuan always listened to his senior sister the most. Although he was in a frenzy, a sliver of clarity remained in his mind, and he hesitated.

"Hurry up," Li Mengtang pleaded softly, "You're injured in many places, please don't push yourself any further."

Xiao Xuan gazed at her, his ferocity subsiding, his bloodshot eyes narrowing wearily.

Li Mengtang also looked at him, secretly wondering, and said, "I wonder if my master and the others have broken through. Will you take me to find them?"

Xiao Xuan was startled and suddenly worried. He quickly carried her on his back and turned to run.

The dark clouds surged faster and faster, chasing after them like a tidal wave.

Li Mengtang turned her head and looked around, then suddenly pointed in a direction: "There don't seem to be any enemies over there, let's go that way!"

The fifth chapter's High Priest

Xiao Xuan soared through the air, reaching the limit of his abilities, but the large black cloud chasing behind remained relentless. Even a pointed wisp of smoke extending from the front was constantly closing the distance, like a vicious dragon baring its fangs and claws, pouncing towards them.

Li Mengtang was secretly anxious. Suddenly, she caught sight of a large patch of green below and hurriedly shouted, "There's a forest down there!"

Xiao Xuan immediately understood and swooped down, reaching the top of the forest in just a few breaths, shouting loudly, "Hold on tight!"

Li Mengtang quickly hugged his neck, and in an instant, the two plunged into a dense canopy of trees.

Less than a breath apart, the black cloud pressed down overhead, instantly plunging the entire forest into darkness.

As soon as Xiao Xuan landed on the ground, he heard a rustling sound above, indicating that many people had jumped into the treetops. His red eyes widened, his killing intent surged again, and he was about to leap up to meet the enemy when Li Mengtang grabbed him and pulled him close to a large tree.

"Don't move!" Li Mengtang whispered, then her hands formed a hand seal and she chanted an incantation. Suddenly, the surrounding bushes and vines seemed to come alive, leaping up and wrapping around them, completely enveloping them in an instant.

"Endless Falling Leaves!" Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, the sound of breaking branches and treading on leaves rang out around them, and someone shouted, "Where did they go?"

"We clearly saw them escape into this forest!"

"Search! They must be in this area."

Xiao Xuan, seeing Li Mengtang leaning against the tree, dared not move an inch.

Li Mengtang closed her eyes and cast a spell, her skin glowing with a faint blue light. Although her hair was disheveled, her clothes were stained with blood, and a large part of her right sleeve was torn off, she appeared unusually pure and serene at this moment.

Xiao Xuan raised his head slightly, gazing at the lush greenery, his thoughts suddenly drifting back to a time long ago.

He was still young then, Li Mengtang wasn't much older, and Shui Ruo was even younger. One afternoon, the three of them were playing hide-and-seek. When it was Shui Ruo's turn to be the cat, he and Li Mengtang sneaked into the herb garden behind the Jinxiu Pavilion.

On a whim, Li Mengtang showed off his newly learned technique, "Boundless Falling Leaves." To Xiao Xuan's astonishment, the green vines and creepers in the garden instantly formed a small green haven just for them.

The two hid in that little green world for a long time, and even when Shui Ruo walked by, she didn't notice them.

That day, the sky was high and the air was crisp, the garden filled with the fragrant scents of flowers and herbs. In the cool, lush shade, Xiao Xuan lazily slumped about, eventually resting his head on Li Mengtang's crossed legs. The two siblings chatted idly, and unexpectedly, Xiao Xuan fell asleep. Li Mengtang didn't have the heart to wake him, but sat quietly until he woke up on his own.

Later, Shui Ruo, who had searched for them for a long time without success, burst into tears. Li Mengtang and Xiao Xuan took turns comforting and amusing her, bringing her many interesting and fun things until she finally stopped crying and smiled.

Unconsciously, Xiao Xuan's eyes filled with warmth. Those carefree, joyful days of the past now seemed so luxurious, precious, and unattainable.

Without needing to worry or think about it, in quiet moments, the warmth of that day would unexpectedly surge into his heart, making him feel a strange, dreamlike, and inexplicable stirring of emotions.

Despite her severe injuries, Li Mengtang forced herself to use magic, causing her blood and qi to surge. Although she tried to suppress it, she still let out soft gasps. Fortunately, this "Boundless Falling Leaves" technique was extremely profound, the most perfect concealment technique in the Wood Escape system of the Five Elements of Ruyi. It not only concealed her form and body but also sealed off their voices, leaving no trace.

Because the space was very narrow, the two could only stand shoulder to shoulder. Xiao Xuan looked from the side and saw that Li Mengtang's face was pale. He felt a pang of pain in his heart and suddenly reached out to grasp her soft hand.

Li Mengtang's delicate body trembled slightly. She looked up in a panic and felt a warm current coming from her hand. She realized that the other party was transferring true qi to her.

"No, no..." Li Mengtang hurriedly tried to pull her hand away, but the other party held it even tighter and showed no intention of letting go.

"Your injuries are very serious..." Li Mengtang whispered, feeling moved and increasingly confused by the mysterious person in front of her.

Xiao Xuan remained silent and continued to transfer true qi without explanation.

He cultivated the True Qi of the Fire of the Five Elements of Ruyi, but due to his repeated use of the Seven Absolute Cover, he unknowingly absorbed a large amount of evil power of varying natures. Later, he obtained the Milk Essence and Great Elixir of Fei Luo, and with the silent nourishment of the Immortal Dragon Pearl hidden deep within his body, his True Qi had become extremely mixed, blurring the lines between good and evil.

Despite this, it proved invaluable at this critical juncture. Li Mengtang was nearly exhausted, but with this True Qi as a foundation, she could regulate her breathing and cultivate her Qi. Once her True Qi recovered somewhat, she used it to refine her spiritual power, and then used that power to cast healing spells to heal herself.

Her healing skills were exceptionally high, ranking among the top ten among the junior immortals of the mortal realm. When she had free time, her healing speed was astonishing; in less than half an incense stick's time, her injuries had healed by more than half, and a faint blush finally returned to her pale face.

At this moment, the surrounding noises gradually subsided and faded, clearly indicating that the people from the Seven Absolute Realms had moved elsewhere.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Li Mengtang whispered, "I'm fine now. I can regulate my breathing on my own."

"Really?" Xiao Xuan asked happily.

"I have enough true energy." Li Mengtang bit her lip and said, her face flushing slightly.

"Oh." Xiao Xuan responded, staring blankly at her. Whether it was because they hadn't seen each other for so long or because of the Seven Evils Cover on her face, he felt that his senior sister was exceptionally beautiful today.

Li Mengtang finally became a little anxious and gently withdrew her hand, saying, "You don't need to transfer any more true energy to me."

Xiao Xuan then snapped out of his daze and quickly let go of her hand.

Li Mengtang composed herself and said softly, "They haven't gone far yet. Let me heal you first." She raised her hand and waved it lightly. A faint wisp of green energy enveloped Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan immediately felt refreshed and relaxed. The pain in his body and the various ailments caused by wearing the Seven Evils Cover were immediately reduced, and he felt as relaxed as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.

Li Mengtang looked at his shoulder and stood on tiptoe to check the injury there.

Her legs were exceptionally long, and her height was outstanding among women, but still slightly shorter than Xiao Xuan's. Finding it difficult to see, she said, "Squat down."

Xiao Xuan squatted down as instructed. Li Mengtang bent down and carefully examined him for a moment, then said, "There's something inside the wound. Bear with it, I'll get it out for you."

Xiao Xuan nodded and simply sat down.

Li Mengtang rolled up the remaining sleeve, first using her fingers to seal several acupoints near his wound to stop the bleeding and relieve pain. After taking a deep breath, she resolutely inserted two slender fingers into the wound.

Xiao Xuan immediately stiffened, his face trembling slightly.

Li Mengtang quickly dug out a dark, shiny pellet covered in mysterious runes from the wound, glanced at it, and tossed it on the ground, saying, "It's a Bone-Shattering Talisman from the Armor-Piercing Palace Grid. Luckily, it didn't hit any bone." With that, she deftly dug it back in with her fingers.

Although her technique was superb and she had made careful preparations beforehand, digging into flesh with her fingers was extremely painful. Xiao Xuan was covered in sweat, and the Seven Evils on his face seemed to awaken from a deep sleep, quickly numbing his body and greatly reducing his pain, but also making him frantic again.

After removing the second pellet, Li Mengtang continued to dig, coaxing him softly, "There's more, just a little longer."

Xiao Xuan suddenly turned his head, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at the two exquisitely beautiful hands on his shoulders.

"Don't look this way, it hurts more if you look," Li Mengtang frowned.

But Xiao Xuan seemed not to hear, his eyes still fixed on the spot, and inch by inch, his gaze moved upwards, crawling over the snow-white wrists and stopping at the two smooth, white arms.

"All done." Li Mengtang finally dug out the third pellet, breathed a sigh of relief, used her fingers to release the sealed acupoints, then used her mystical magic to heal the wound, and finally tore off a piece of her skirt and carefully and gently bandaged it.

Two alluring, slender arms swayed beside her face, their cool, smooth skin occasionally brushing against her ears and cheeks, leaving a tingling, irresistible sensation. Xiao Xuan's breath burned, and he swallowed hard.

"Turn around." Li Mengtang remembered how he had shielded her from several streaks of dark light during the fierce battle.

Xiao Xuan obediently turned around, kneeling and prostrating himself against the tree.

Li Mengtang gasped. Xiao Xuan's back was a gruesome sight. Besides the deep craters from bullets, there were cuts from sharp weapons and injuries from heavy objects—not an inch of it was unscathed.

She stared blankly, her eyes reddening. She asked again, "Who are you? Why did you risk your life to save me?"

Xiao Xuan remained silent, hesitant. If she knew that the one wearing the Seven Evils Robe was him, how angry and disappointed would she be, so fiercely opposed to evil?

Seeing that he still wouldn't speak, Li Mengtang had no choice but to put aside her questions for the time being. She carefully peeled back the blood-stained fabric, gently pulling his tattered shirt down to his waist.

The Flame-Washed Silk wrapped around Xiao Xuan's waist was revealed, its crimson glow like a blazing fire against the dark green background.

Li Mengtang was slightly surprised and glanced at it twice.

Xiao Xuan's heart pounded.

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Mengtang's eyes, but her attention quickly returned to his bloodied back. She reached out tremblingly, struggling to calm herself, first sealing several acupoints to stop the bleeding and relieve pain, then inserting her slender fingers into the gaping wounds…

Xiao Xuan's breathing was heavy. Although the air was thick with the stench of blood, he could keenly detect a familiar fragrance—a scent he had remembered ever since he fell asleep on her lap.

Li Mengtang didn't notice his unusual behavior, focusing intently on removing the bullets from his back as quickly as possible.

Xiao Xuan tightly closed his eyes, but his mind was filled with the image of the smooth, white arm he had just seen. He shook his head violently, his consciousness gradually blurring, while a certain desire rapidly amplified.

Li Mengtang assumed he was in unbearable pain and comforted him while digging, "Does it hurt a lot? It'll be over soon."

Xiao Xuan shook his head, hugged the tree tightly, and pressed his forehead against the trunk.

Finally, Li Mengtang removed all the bullets, letting out a sigh of relief as sweat beaded on her forehead: "Six in total, and you actually managed to endure it."

Next, she quickly cast several healing spells with different effects, stopping the bleeding and healing the wounds one by one. She then tore off a piece of her skirt, ripped it into long strips, and used them to bandage Xiao Xuan's back and arms.

Little did she know that the sound of tearing cloth was extremely tempting to Xiao Xuan at this moment. He suddenly groaned and grabbed the white arm that was wrapped around his chest.

Li Mengtang gasped in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Xuan grabbed her pink arms and began kissing her passionately.

Li Mengtang was shocked and quickly pulled her arms away.

Xiao Xuan suddenly turned around, his red eyes now clouded, and pounced on her, burying his face in her chest and burrowing into her embrace.

"Get out!" Li Mengtang shouted angrily, struggling desperately with her elbows and knees.

However, Xiao Xuan was incredibly strong at this moment, and in a few moments he twisted her arms behind her waist and thighs, then leaned down on her, one hand groping and pinching her breasts, while the other hand reached down, grabbing the hem of her skirt and trying to slip inside.

Li Mengtang quickly turned to the side and pressed her skirt down tightly. Unable to get her way, Xiao Xuan simply pulled hard, and with a "rip," he forcibly tore her skirt open.

A glimpse of the tear revealed two unusually long legs, tightly wrapped in narrow, soft, moon-white silk trousers, outlining a beautiful and alluring line near the groin.

"Let go!" the girl cried out, struggling to free her hands. Xiao Xuan seized the opportunity to slip inside, his hand grasping a soft, tender mound through the thin silk trousers beneath.

Li Mengtang let out a soft moan, her body instantly going limp.

Xiao Xuan eagerly squeezed and kneaded it a few times, finding it plump and soft as cotton. Even through the silk fabric, his fingers and palms felt a tingling, almost melting sensation.

Li Mengtang seemed to awaken and struggled again, but her arms, twisted behind her back, remained trapped. She quickly pulled her long, beautiful legs together, clamping down tightly on the hand that was attacking her private parts.

Xiao Xuan stirred vigorously, his middle finger suddenly kneading a shallow slit between the girl's soft, tender mound, and from the depths of his fingertip, he found a trace of warm, moist moisture.

Li Mengtang jerked her head back, her beautiful eyes tightly closed, her lips parted slightly, her porcelain-like neck arching in a beautiful curve, her snow-white skin bristling, her body trembling delicately like a bow.

Xiao Xuan, panting heavily, stared at her slightly parted, tender lips, then suddenly lowered his head, his lips covering hers, forcibly kissing her without a word, his heart pounding wildly: "I kissed her! I actually kissed Second Senior Sister!"

Li Mengtang's beautiful eyes widened, truly shocked and furious, struggling to break free, she suddenly opened her pearly teeth and bit him hard.

"Ugh!" Xiao Xuan groaned, tilting his head back, his hand covering his lips.

Li Mengtang's body relaxed, her right hand finally freeing itself from under her thighs, she raised it and slapped him hard across the face.

Xiao Xuan froze abruptly, his heart pounding: "Oh my god, what am I doing!"

"Get out!" Li Mengtang hissed, after all, this man had saved her, seeing that he had stopped his advances, she couldn't bring herself to slap him a second time.

Xiao Xuan hurriedly got up, springing to her feet, but her wound on her back slammed into a tree behind her, causing her to wince in pain.

"You bastard! You think you can do whatever you want just because you saved me?" Li Mengtang angrily scrambled to her feet, her hair and clothes stained with broken grass and fallen leaves, her chest disheveled, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin and a corner of her fruit-green bodice. Her moon-white silk trousers were also torn, making her look both disheveled and alluring.

Xiao Xuan stood there, head down, hands clasped, blood dripping from her lips.

"You saved my life, that's true! If you feel you've been cheated and insist on taking something from me, then kill me, won't you?" Li Mengtang's anger intensified, her pretty face flushed red. Her beauty was exquisite, and now it appeared even more radiant and captivating.

Xiao Xuan was filled with shame and remorse, hating herself intensely.

"Get out! I never want to see you again!" Li Mengtang shouted, her breasts heaving. She angrily wiped her lips with the back of her hand, tears welling in her eyes.

Her lips had never been kissed by a man since birth, and now her first kiss had been lost so inexplicably, without even knowing the name or appearance of the person who took it.

Xiao Xuan raised his head slightly, hesitating to speak.

Li Mengtang hurriedly covered her collar and yelled again, "Get out!"

Xiao Xuan had no choice but to leave, but even with his hands and feet braced, he couldn't squeeze through the dense vines.

Li Mengtang, her face cold, chanted softly, her delicate fingers forming a hand seal. She then spread the seal, and the surrounding vines and ivy instantly "came back to life," twitching and retreating rapidly, disintegrating in an instant, returning to their original positions.

"Take care," Xiao Xuan said hoarsely, stealing a reluctant glance at Li Mengtang before turning and walking away dejectedly.

Li Mengtang stood there, panting, her eyes fixed on the ground.

Xiao Xuan walked aimlessly, cursing himself all the way, his heart filled with resentment: "This ghost mask is definitely no good! It's really got me killed!"

He walked on for a while, his anger growing, and suddenly raised his hand to remove the Seven Absolutes Mask.

"Hey." A soft, gentle voice suddenly called from behind.

Xiao Xuan turned around in surprise, seeing Li Mengtang standing a few steps away.

"You don't seem like that kind of person... I'm asking you, why did you suddenly act like that just now?" Li Mengtang asked.

Xiao Xuan stammered.

"Is that the Seven Evils Mask you're wearing? Your sudden outburst, could it be its doing?" Li Mengtang asked again.

Xiao Xuan nodded hurriedly, overjoyed.

"Then...would you please take it off?" Li Mengtang stepped forward.

Xiao Xuan retreated in panic. Hesitant before, he dared not reveal his identity now, thinking that if she knew who had almost raped him, she might die of anger.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid I'll find out who you are? Or are you afraid I'll try to take advantage of it?" Li Mengtang stared at him, saying, "The Seven Evils Mask is indeed a peerless treasure, but not everyone covets it."

Xiao Xuan simply shook his head, secretly determined to remain hidden, and prepared to disappear immediately.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you." Li Mengtang said helplessly, then added, "I won't thank you for your great kindness. My sect is currently in trouble, please allow me to..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp whistle, like a dragon's roar, was heard from afar.

The two looked up and saw a huge white plume of smoke rising from the woods to their side, swirling and dancing like a dragon before dissipating.

Li Mengtang's expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed, "It's my senior uncle!" She gathered her inner energy and leaped away.

Xiao Xuan hurriedly followed.

When they reached the source of the sound, they heard the zither music again, a mournful, plaintive lament, and their hearts suddenly felt inexplicably heavy.

Li Mengtang suddenly crouched down, hiding behind a clump of bushes, and gently beckoned to Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan ran over and knelt beside her.

"It really is my senior uncle," Li Mengtang whispered.

Xiao Xuan looked ahead and saw many fallen trees in the woods. Three people were engaged in a fierce battle, one of whom was Yi Xunyan, another was the silver-haired Wu Shi, and the third was a bald old man in a green robe whom he had never seen before.

Wu Shi played the zither, his ten fingers plucking the seven-stringed instrument that floated before him, his eyes closed, seemingly lost in his own music.

The green-robed elder waved his sleeves, and thick, vibrant blue light shot out from his cuffs, rushing towards Yi Xunyan, who was a few feet away.

Yi Xunyan, however, stood guard before a huge, smoky, and strangely writhing blue light orb. He also waved his sleeves, releasing one white energy dragon after another, clashing and intertwining with the elder's vibrant blue light, like dragons and pythons writhing and grappling.

"Not good," Li Mengtang whispered.

Xiao Xuan also noticed the situation was dire; Yi Xunyan was clearly at a disadvantage. A faint blue hue emanated from his face and neck, and his dragon energy was rapidly disappearing one after another, while the elder's blue light grew stronger, gradually closing in on Yi Xunyan.

"Yi Xunyan, give up resisting, and I won't kill you!" the green-robed elder sneered.

Yi Xunyan remained silent, still struggling to hold on.

"The silver-haired one is Wu Shi, the Changhen Qin Demon, one of the four high priests of the Seven Evil Realms. The one in green robes must be the Wan Du Lao Jun, one of the seven elders. My uncle has been struck by his Soul-Eating Divine Light!" Li Mengtang's brows furrowed, her face filled with anxiety.

"So it's this guy!" Xiao Xuan immediately remembered that when he was escaping in the Misty Forest last time, he was intercepted by this Wan Du Lao Jun, but at that time he didn't even get a glimpse of his appearance.

"Your Evil-Repelling True Qi can overcome countless unorthodox methods, but it cannot overcome Wu Shi's Soul-Hooking Qin Music, much less my Soul-Eating Divine Light! If you continue to resist, you will only perish, body and soul, forever!" Wan Du Lao Jun swung his sleeves, and the blue light he emitted became increasingly dazzling and beautiful. The trees around him that were affected were already bare, and those further away were beginning to wither and die in large swaths, with fallen leaves fluttering like butterflies and snow.

"What are you blowing..." A voice suddenly rang out, delicate, alluring, and soft, seemingly coming from a great distance, yet as clear as if it appeared in everyone's heart.

Xiao Xuan's face flushed, his heart pounded, and his eyes burned.

"What's going on?" he wondered to himself, thinking it was the Seven Evils again causing trouble. But when he glanced at Li Mengtang beside him, he was startled to see that she was also in a daze and blushing.

Suddenly, colorful clouds surged above the forest, and a magnificent carriage pulled by eight giant strange birds emerged from the radiance. Several women in flowing robes stood on the backs of the birds and in front of the carriage curtains, each holding an incense burner, a feather fan, a flower basket, a patterned pot, coral, a sachet, a bronze mirror, and banners. From a distance, they looked like celestial maidens and witches.

"What are those?" Xiao Xuan stared blankly at the sky, seeing eight strange birds with mottled, colorful plumage, resembling neither falcons nor phoenixes, and enormous in size. He couldn't recognize them for a long time.

"They're Nightmare Kites, could it be..." Li Mengtang gasped, her face showing shock.

"Could it be what?" Xiao Xuan asked, staring at the eight Nightmare Kites, suddenly feeling inexplicably dizzy.

"Don't look at them, Nightmare Kites can bewitch souls!" Li Mengtang said, holding her forehead and closing her eyes tightly.

Xiao Xuan quickly looked down, and then heard a series of bells ringing overhead, followed by the sound of flapping wings. The eight Nightmare Kites and the chariot descended from the sky, hovering several feet above the ground, kicking up a large number of fallen leaves.

"Old man, you've made this place filthy." The same voice rang out again.

This voice was incredibly unique, unlike any other woman's voice Xiao Xuan had ever heard. Cui Caiting's voice was clear and elegant, Fei Luo's voice was soft and gentle, Xue Han's voice was resolute, Li Mengtang's voice was tender and delicate, Shui Ruo's voice was crisp and tender, Xiao Wan's voice was sweet and soft, Zhai Xia's voice was clear and sweet, Yao Yao's voice was tender and delicate, E Yan's voice was sweet and sweet, Qi Ji's voice was delicate and charming, Wu Pian's voice was graceful and elegant, and the mysterious and beautiful sister he met in the forest was like a heavenly sound. But this voice was low and delicate, like a sigh, and slightly hoarse and captivating. Every sound seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, and it made people feel restless and their souls were swayed. They thought of love between men and women and felt sad and heartbroken.

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but look up again. The curtains of the magnificent carriage remained drawn, and the owner was still nowhere to be seen. However, he could now clearly see the eight women on Yan Yuan's back and in front of the carriage. Each woman was stunningly beautiful, their attire unlike anything he had ever seen. They wore jeweled necklaces covering their breasts, lantern-shaped silk trousers, and colorful ribbons draped around their bodies. Their breasts were half-exposed, their snow-white bellies fully exposed, and their bare, jade-like white feet were adorned with various styles of bracelets and beaded chains around their necks, arms, wrists, ankles, and slender waists. These perfectly accentuated their captivating figures.

Xiao Xuan was dazzled by the sight, but after a short while, he felt dizzy again and quickly lowered his head.

"So it's High Priest Bi who's arrived." Lord Wan Du chuckled. "Don't come out. In a moment, I'll deal with this scoundrel."

"No way! I want to see what this 'Heavenly Lone Smoke' who damaged my daughter's true essence looks like, and whether he really has three heads and six arms," said the Soul-Hooking Voice.

"I'll capture him. You can do whatever you want with him later," said Lord Wan Du.

"But... you seem to be no match for him," said the Soul-Hooking Voice.

"Just you wait and see!" Lord Wan Du seemed annoyed, and with a swift swing of his sleeve, he began to approach Yi Xunyan step by step.

Yi Xunyan seemed to be weakening; the dragon aura he unleashed dimmed, and its range narrowed, yet he remained steadfastly guarding the massive blue orb behind him, refusing to budge an inch.

Li Mengtang's brows furrowed deeper, her teeth biting her lower lip hard.

Xiao Xuan frowned deeply, hesitant, unsure whether to intervene.

"Why don't you surrender? You'll get a taste of my 'Ten Thousand Poisons Universe'!" The Ten Thousand Poisons Lord roared, his sleeves billowing open, from which a massive blue orb, like the one behind Yi Xunyan, expanded, engulfing Yi Xunyan.

But Yi Xunyan instinctively drew his sleeves to his chest, his lips moving slightly as if chanting something, before being enveloped by the orb and vanishing into the deep, vibrant blue.

"Before me, even a lone plume of smoke from the heavens is nothing but a speck of dust!" The Venerable Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons laughed wildly, when suddenly the clouds in the sky surged, forming a massive vortex. In an instant, the world brightened, and a huge, dazzling bolt of lightning poured down from the center of the vortex, striking the blue orb of light squarely. Only then did everyone hear the continuous rumble of thunder, a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

The Venerable Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons' expression changed drastically. He gathered his true energy and retreated rapidly, but in that instant, the blue orb of light silently exploded. A figure within waved his sleeves, and two dragons of energy, crackling with lightning, roared forth.

With a loud shout, the Venerable Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons' robes ripped apart at his chest. One dragon had already disappeared halfway before reaching his chest, while the other dragon relentlessly pursued him to his head, the grotesque lightning crackling around it illuminating his horrified face.

Several feet away, Wu Shi suddenly swung his fingers wildly, and with a sharp "clang," the ice zither flashed with silver light as two strings snapped. Almost simultaneously, the energy dragon that was about to devour Wan Du Lao Jun's face suddenly shattered into pieces, disintegrating in the blink of an eye.

A figure suddenly leaped out of the Nightmare Kite Chariot, her robes fluttering as she flew towards Yi Xunyan, whose clothes were torn.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yi Xunyan's mouth. She knew she was nearing the end of her life, but she refused to give up. She continued to exert all her remaining strength, pouring all her remaining true energy into the two broken sleeves that had been blasted in half by lightning.

At that moment, the eight Nightmare Kites suddenly spread their wings and cried out in unison, their voices strangely hoarse and shrill.

Xiao Xuan, hiding behind the bushes, suddenly felt dizzy and his vision blurred. When he regained his senses, he saw Yi Xunyan standing stiffly, his eyes glazed over, as if he had suddenly turned into a stone sculpture. A trickle of blood flowed from his hair, then gushed forth, staining half his face red.

Three steps in front of him, a stunningly beautiful woman was slowly rising from a graceful kneeling position, her arms still crossed over her chest.

The posture looked strangely familiar, and Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately thought of Qi Ji and looked closer. The woman had her hair styled in a bun, with a malachite scorpion-tail hairpin inserted at her temple. She wore a jade-colored hibiscus silk robe with a light ink-colored gauze lining, embroidered with the Five Poisons pattern. Her long skirt trailed on the ground, also jade-colored and white, with a few strokes of green water ripples on the hem. A few hibiscus petals floated on the front and back of the skirt. Her breasts were as high as peaks, but her waist was only a handful. Her skin was as white as milk, and her cheeks were as beautiful as peach blossoms. Her two dark, starry eyes were even more captivating, and her gaze was full of charm. She did indeed resemble Qi Ji in some ways, but she had an inexplicable charm that made her look even more alluring and seductive than Qi Ji.

Xiao Xuan's mouth gaped open. He wasn't unfamiliar with stunning beauty, but at this moment, his eyes were like iron drawn to a magnet, unable to look away from her. Even his soul seemed to be firmly hooked by something invisible.

Yi Xunyan's knees suddenly buckled, and she knelt down, then fell forward, sprawling on the ground.

"Who...who is she? How can she be so powerful?" Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded.

"The Demoness, the Nightmare Carriage. This vixen must be Bi Lianlian, the head of the four high priests of the Seven Evil Realms, the Soul-Hooking Evil Princess." Li Mengtang continued, her face pale, "One of the most terrifying demons in the Seven Evil Realms."

Chapter Six: Before the Storm

"Old man, if it weren't for High Priest Wu here, you would have made a fool of yourself." Bi Lianlian snorted lightly. She simply stood there, yet she exuded graceful charm and captivating beauty.

"This bastard actually took such a great risk, summoning the power of heavenly lightning to fight me to the death!" Wan Du Laojun was in a sorry state, glaring hatefully at Yi Xunyan, who was lying prostrate on the ground.

"His life is almost over, why would he be afraid of taking risks?" Bi Lianlian said softly, "I admire his skill in using the power of heavenly lightning. He uses it so skillfully and cleverly, not only drawing it but also combining it seamlessly with our sect's techniques. He must have studied it specifically."

Xiao Xuan and Li Mengtang, who were behind the bushes, were both shocked and secretly surprised.

"He's really courting death! The Xuanmen claims to be the righteous path, yet they also practice such heretical and evil methods!" Wan Du Laojun sneered.

Xiao Xuan thought to himself, "Master said that there are thousands of types of lightning power, and even the gods of the Thunder Palace and even the Taiyi Daluo cannot master them all. A'Luo also said that those with truly profound cultivation should avoid using lightning techniques casually. Moreover, he would risk so much to practice using the power of heavenly lightning?"

"I want this guy," Bi Lianlian said.

The Venomous Lord chuckled lewdly, "Take it all. He damaged Qiqi's true essence; now we'll get it back with interest."

"Qiqi?" Xiao Xuan wondered, "Fifth Sister's name is Qiqi. The Little Demon Lord said she's the daughter of the High Priest of the Realm, and this woman is the High Priest of the Seven Evil Realms, also surnamed Bi. Could she be Fifth Sister's…?"

"Master Uncle…" Li Mengtang cried softly, tears welling in her eyes.

Xiao Xuan glanced at her, sighed quietly, and resolutely stood up from the bushes.

"What are you doing?" Li Mengtang was startled and quickly pulled him down to squat.

"I'm going to see if I can steal Six… steal your Master Uncle," Xiao Xuan said.

Li Mengtang was filled with gratitude, saying, "You can't beat them all by yourself."

"That's not necessarily true!" Xiao Xuan said, though unsure, his fighting spirit burned fiercely, and he felt no fear whatsoever.

"No, you can't." Li Mengtang shook her head: "These three demons are incredibly powerful, far more so than the evil ones before. You absolutely must not go out, otherwise you will not only fail to save people, but also lose your life in vain."

"Then you..." Xiao Xuan looked at her.

"Right now, I can only wait until I return to report to the elders of the sect, and then come back to rescue them later." Li Mengtang bit her cherry lips tightly, almost drawing blood, and stared at him, saying, "Thank you."

Xiao Xuan also stared at her blankly, his heart pounding: "She has never looked at me like this before..."

"There's more." Bi Lianlian suddenly pointed to the huge blue light sphere a few feet away and said, "I want these too."

"These?" Wan Du Laojun's face immediately showed difficulty: "You want these high priests too? I heard that we haven't captured Xuanhu yet, and I want to take them back to interrogate them."

"I'll interrogate them myself." Bi Lianlian said with a smile: "If Elder Shen takes them, what if he takes pity on them, and we won't get anything out of them."

"Who are they talking about?" Xiao Xuan and Li Mengtang were confused and their hearts were filled with doubt.

Wan Du Laojun's old face turned slightly red, and he pondered: "This..."

"If you keep hesitating, you'll never come to Gouhun Ridge again." Bi Lianlian's face suddenly darkened.

The Venomous Lord seemed terrified and immediately laughed, "Very well, since High Priestess Bi wants it so much, how dare this old man contend for it? Take it, take it all!"

Bi Lianlian's expression softened slightly, and she said, "Don't be sad. I've recently been cultivating a new technique and urgently need a cauldron with a certain foundation to refine the Demon Maiden. These immortal disciples are quite skilled, and their primordial yin is certainly pure, just what I need."

"Oh?" the Venomous Lord responded, his expression suddenly hardening, "Could it be that you're refining that..."

Bi Lianlian stared at him intently with her beautiful eyes, her gaze quickly sweeping over Wu Shiyi beside her.

Wu Shiyi was staring blankly at the zither floating in front of him, seemingly still heartbroken over the two broken strings earlier.

The Venomous Lord immediately fell silent, his expression strangely peculiar.

"So, Elder, don't begrudge me. I'll refine these immortal artifacts into Demon Maidens, and I'll invite you to the Soul-Hooking Palace to enjoy them someday," Bi Lianlian said with a smile. Her smile was instantly captivating, exuding unparalleled allure.

Xiao Xuan, watching from afar, was completely mesmerized.

The Venomous Lord laughed heartily, unable to hide his joy, and said, "Refining them into Demon Maidens would be even better! Refining them into Demon Maidens would be even better! High Priest, don't forget what I said today."

Bi Lianlian turned to look at Wu Shi, smiling sweetly, and said, "Brother Wu, what do you say? Can you take these few..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wu Shi had already picked up his zither and turned to leave.

His silver hair covered his face, obscuring his expression, but the withered trees and fallen leaves all around made his departing figure appear indescribably desolate and forlorn.

Only after his figure disappeared into the woods did the Venomous Lord speak again, lewdly laughing, "That blockhead's heart is already withered, how could he be interested in these women? Why do you ask him?"

"Enough nonsense, hurry up and get rid of your filth." Bi Lianlian glanced at the huge ball of light.

The Venomous Lord then used his demonic power, his two large sleeves waving towards the blue ball of light, and immediately the ball of light scattered into streaks of bright blue light. Like peeling silk from a cocoon, they were absorbed into his sleeves.

The huge blue ball of light quickly disintegrated, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of it disappeared. Suddenly, several people tumbled out from it, all with their eyes closed and their skin bright blue. They were Cui Caiting, Xue Han, Cheng Shuiruo, Xia Xiaowan, and Zhaixia.

Xiao Xuan and Li Mengtang were shocked and almost jumped up from behind the bushes.

Bi Lianlian took out a handkerchief from her bosom, chanted incantations, and suddenly threw it into the air. The handkerchief flew into the air and rapidly expanded, becoming over ten feet square in the blink of an eye. It was embroidered with celestial constellations and many strange runes, with wisps of faint green light occasionally drifting out.

"Wait!" the Ten Thousand Poisons Lord exclaimed, "Let me remove the poison, lest it corrode your precious handkerchief!"

Bi Lianlian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the remaining poison won't damage my Star Luo Handkerchief." She made a hand seal, and the giant handkerchief in the air suddenly shone brightly with green light, covering Yi Xunyan and Cui Caiting and their disciples on the ground. Then the green light suddenly brightened, and the people on the ground disappeared, clearly all absorbed into the handkerchief.

"If the poison isn't completely removed, they will all die!" the Ten Thousand Poisons Lord said again.

"I have my own way." Bi Lianlian said confidently, raising her hand and beckoning the handkerchief into the air. When it returned to her hand, it had returned to its original size.

"My Soul-Eating Divine Light has improved again, far surpassing its former power. Don't try to show off," the Venerable Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons glared at her.

Bi Lianlian put the handkerchief back into her bosom and said, "Don't worry, actually, I'm going to use the poison of your Soul-Eating Divine Light to refine them into a new kind of demonic witch."

The Venerable Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons was dumbfounded, while Xiao Xuan and Li Mengtang were both shocked and angry.

Bi Lianlian giggled and said sweetly, "Thank you so much, Elder." Before she finished speaking, she had already risen from the ground, her ribbons fluttering as she flew towards the Nightmare Kite Chariot floating in the air.

Xiao Xuan suddenly stood up again.

"No! This vixen is skilled in seduction, and she has a demonic tail that even ghosts and gods fear. Even the Demon-Slaying General, the head of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion who specializes in exterminating evil spirits, is wary of her. We absolutely cannot fight her head-on!" Li Mengtang hurriedly grabbed his trouser leg.

"I won't fight her head-on," Xiao Xuan said, breaking free from his trouser leg, leaping up and disappearing into the dense canopy above.

Li Mengtang stamped her foot, then suddenly a doubt arose again: "Why is this person more anxious than I am when he sees my sect members in trouble?"

At this moment, Bi Lianlian had returned to the carriage. Li Mengtang was anxious and had no time to think about it. Suddenly, she made a hand seal and chanted. A wisp of green mist rose from below, and the figure disappeared from the bushes. Suddenly, a green vine sprang up from in front of a large tree not far away, climbing up the trunk as if it were alive...

Xiao Xuan ran swiftly through the canopy, using the dense branches and leaves as cover to run towards the Nightmare Kite Carriage. While removing the Seven Evil Covers, he rapidly chanted some kind of long forbidden spell. Just as he leaped out of the canopy, his whole body suddenly blurred. When he landed on the roof of the Nightmare Kite Carriage, he had turned into a small brown squirrel.

The leap was so light it was almost silent; the flapping of the eight Nightmare Kites' wings completely masked the tiny movement. But just as Bi Lianlian was about to enter the carriage, she suddenly looked up and let out a soft "Eh!"

Xiao Xuan was startled, unsure whether to stay or flee, when he saw Bi Lianlian wave her sleeve in his direction. Suddenly, he felt a gentle force pull him towards her, and in the blink of an eye, he landed in her hand.

"What an adorable little thing! How did you get on my carriage?" Bi Lianlian laughed, cradling the squirrel against her high, firm breasts and gently stroking

it. Xiao Xuan, who had been quite far away, was already overwhelmed. Now, in her arms, he felt warm and soft, his nose filled with a sweet fragrance. The touch of her soft hand made him feel weak and feverish.

"Since you came alone, it means we are destined to meet. Then come with me," Bi Lianlian said, her voice filled with unspoken tenderness.

Xiao Xuan was momentarily dazed, almost forgetting why he had come.

By this time, the carriage had risen high into the sky, and the eight Nightmare Kites spread their giant wings and flew in a certain direction. The wind in the carriage picked up, and Bi Lianlian turned around. Two demonic maidens by the door lifted the curtain, and she carried the squirrel that Xiao Xuan had transformed into into inside.

Xiao Xuan was drowsy, his eyelids felt heavy, and he was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

Bi Lianlian walked forward and actually walked for a while without stopping.

Xiao Xuan felt strange. He opened his eyes, but his view was mostly blocked by two large, plump breasts pressing down on him. He whispered, "Wow! This demoness is just as good as A Luo here..." He then secretly peeked his head out from between the breasts and was stunned by what he saw. It turned out that he was in a very large and magnificent place, like a hall. There were several doorways with curtains hanging around the perimeter, and pretty girls dressed as maids were walking among them.

Bi Lianlian turned around a few more times, passed through several smaller rooms, and entered a long corridor.

Xiao Xuan looked around, memorizing the routes he had taken, when suddenly Bi Lianlian giggled, "Little guy, what are you doing, making me ticklish?" She pressed his head down, shoving it back under her breast.

This time, the cover was even tighter, and Xiao Xuan couldn't see anything outside. He grew anxious and frustrated for a while, then suddenly felt light as he was thrown out, landing on a soft surface.

Looking around, he saw he had been thrown onto a silk-covered bed, piled with fragrant pillows and brocade quilts, with soft gauze curtains hanging around. Looking further, he saw a rectangular room about three zhang long, filled with brocade and embroidered curtains. In the four corners stood ingeniously crafted animal-shaped incense burners, burning something that filled the room with a sweet, intoxicating fragrance. The walls were covered with an endless series of paintings depicting demons and enchantresses in sexual intercourse, their poses bizarre and varied, their expressions ranging from ecstasy to pleasure to agony, all vividly lifelike.

Xiao Xuan blushed and his heart pounded as he looked at Bi Lianlian, who was standing about ten feet from the bed in front of a wardrobe. A maid was helping her change clothes and remove her makeup.

The maid's attire was slightly different from the demonesses he had seen before; the chain around her neck was made of small skulls carved from some unknown material. She had an extremely slender waist, a jade scorpion embedded in her navel, and a dark mole under the corner of her left eye. She appeared to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, yet her appearance was incredibly alluring.

Bi Lianlian removed her hairpins and pearls, placing them in the makeup box carried by her maid. She loosened her flying fairy bun, then removed her jade-colored hibiscus silk robe, revealing her dazzling white skin, shimmering with a milky sheen. Beneath the striking, breathtakingly dark gauze embroidered with the Five Poisons pattern, her skin was even more alluring.

"Not only her figure, but even her skin is very similar to A Luo's..." Xiao Xuan thought wildly, unaware that this milky skin was a common characteristic of those who had mastered the art of dual cultivation and replenishment.

Just as the maid was about to put the jade-colored hibiscus silk robe she had taken off into the wardrobe, Bi Lianlian suddenly said, "Little Hook, take out the Starry Silk Handkerchief and put it in the Soul-Sealing Box. We've captured someone inside; I'll need it when we get back to the palace."

The maid called Little Hook responded, reached into the robe, took out the Starry Silk Handkerchief, picked up a dark-colored box that appeared to be carved from jade from the dressing table beside her, chanted a spell to open it, put the Starry Silk Handkerchief inside, then closed the lid and put it back on the dressing table. She then knelt down to help her mistress take off her skirt.

Xiao Xuan's eyes were fixed on the box on the dressing table, his heart pounding: "If I suddenly make a move now, I wonder if I can take down these two women..."

Bi Lianlian took off her water-ripple hibiscus skirt, leaving only a pair of thin, ice-silk-like lotus-root-colored gauze trousers, and walked barefoot and gracefully toward the bed.

Xiao Xuan quickly looked away and lowered his head.

Bi Lianlian knelt on the bed, bent down and picked up the squirrel, laughing, "Why are you looking down? Are you shy, little guy?"

Xiao Xuan didn't know what to do, so he continued to lower his head.

Bi Lianlian smiled and examined the little squirrel in her hands, then suddenly lifted it up and hung it up, striking a seductive pose, "Little thing, look how beautiful I am! Isn't my body alluring?"

Xiao Xuan panicked for a moment, cursing inwardly, "You slut, why are you flirting with a little animal?"

But despite his cursing, he was now burning with rage, even his breath was hot.

Bi Lianlian swung him around in the air, then said, "Little thing, are you hungry? Want to eat grandma?"

Xiao Xuan was stunned. He saw the woman's pink shoulders hunch, and half of her gauze slipped down, revealing a silver-patterned peony bodice underneath. Then, she gently pulled down, and an incredibly plump breast immediately popped out. As if supported by something invisible, it bounced and trembled, standing erect in mid-air, swaying for a long time without stopping, rippling out waves of alluring white flesh, so incredibly tender.

Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded, his mouth going dry.

Bi Lianlian chuckled and said, "Looks like you want to eat. Alright, I'll feed you." As she spoke, she grasped one of her smooth, creamy nipples, tilted her pink shoulders, and thrust her breasts towards the little squirrel she was holding.

Xiao Xuan's veins throbbed, and he involuntarily opened his mouth wide.

Annoyingly, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, General Nutian requests an audience and is waiting in the outer hall."

"General Nutian?" Xiao Xuan had heard his name many times and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Bi Lianlian's smile froze, and she threw the squirrel in her hand onto the bed, saying, "Let him in."

The person outside responded and left.

Bi Lianlian seemed to be deep in thought, slowly hooking up the bodice that was tied under her breasts with her fingers, then pulling up the light ink gauze that had slipped to one side, got off the bed, and walked to a chair covered with some kind of animal fur beside the large bed and sat down.

Xiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Not long after, the curtain was lifted, and a huge shadow slipped in through the doorway.

Xiao Xuan looked over and saw that the newcomer was a middle-aged man, who was seven or eight feet tall, with a broad face and no beard. Under his thick eyebrows, a pair of eyes flashed with a sharp light, which, together with his furrowed brows and tightly closed lips, created a terrifying and dignified appearance.

He wore a long robe over his shoulders, revealing armor underneath. His bare arms were bulging with muscles, and his ten fingers were unusually large and strong. His entire body seemed to be brimming with a terrifying power.

Bi Lianlian sat gracefully in her chair, her elbows resting on the armrests, her expressionless eyes glancing at him.

Xiao Xuan felt a chill in his heart: "How unlucky! At this crucial moment, another such formidable demon suddenly appears? It seems we can't force our way through..."

"High Priest, are you well?" The Angry Heaven General bowed deeply, his every gesture displaying the power of a dragon and a tiger.

Bi Lianlian said, "With a great battle imminent, what brings you here, General?"

The Great General of Wrath laughed and said, "It's rare to travel with the High Priest, so naturally I had to come and serve you."

"Don't be so glib in front of me," Bi Lianlian glared at him, "This battle is no small matter. How are your preparations going?"

"Everything is going smoothly. Giant Bamboo Valley is like meat on a chopping board, just waiting for us to cut it down," the Great General of Wrath replied, waving his hand and saying, "The general offensive will begin tomorrow morning at dawn."

Xiao Xuan was greatly surprised: "They're going to attack Giant Bamboo Valley?"

"Giant Bamboo Valley's defensive capabilities are renowned throughout the realms; don't underestimate it," Bi Lianlian said coldly.

"High Priest, rest assured, for this attack on Giant Bamboo Valley, I have mobilized three thousand evil corpses, twenty thousand evil armors, one hundred and twenty Sky-Piercing Flying Boats, thirteen Thunderclap Bombs, plus the best generals from each division. Taking Giant Bamboo Valley is a sure thing, more than enough," General Nutian said confidently.

Xiao Xuan's heart pounded with fear: "The Seven Evil Realms have launched a major counterattack so quickly. I wonder if E'yan is on guard... Ah! I'm dead! She said she would leave Giant Bamboo Valley tomorrow morning to aid Marquis Fengtian in Yunzhou. She must be unprepared!"

"I heard that the one who seized Giant Bamboo Valley this time is the Demon Saint's prized disciple?" Bi Lianlian asked.

General Nutian replied, "That's right. That demoness is named Eyan. She is the daughter of the chieftain of the Lingzhu Clan, who originally occupied the Giant Bamboo Valley. She became a disciple of Lingxiao Shi at a young age. It is said that she is exceptionally intelligent and cunning, and has mastered all of Lingxiao Shi's true teachings. Relying on her master's power, she built the Boundless Palace and occupied the Void Illumination Realm. Anyone who enters to cultivate or gather resources must obtain her permission. Over the years, she has amassed a great fortune and her wings have grown stronger. Recently, she has also received a lot of support from the Great Demon Realm Kingdom. Her strength is no longer comparable to that of ordinary demons." "

Since establishing the only kingdom in the Demon Realm, True Monarch Wanjie has been recruiting talents from all walks of life. In recent years, he has also vigorously developed his military power and provided overt or covert support to all sides. He can be described as having ulterior motives," Bi Lianlian pondered.

General Nutian nodded, "This fellow's ambition is certainly not small. I suspect that the reason that little demoness dared to attack Giant Bamboo Valley this time is probably because he's backing her up." "

That's exactly what the Elders are worried about," Bi Lianlian said, her brows furrowing slightly. "Since the Demon Lord's death at the hands of Xuanhu and the two invasions by the Heavenly Realm, our realm's vitality has been severely damaged. Now is the worst time to wage war."

General Nutian said, "But although Giant Bamboo Valley is small, it is a place coveted by all realms. Giant Bamboo Valley's resources, mechanisms, and craftsmanship are of great help to us. Treasure Bottle Bamboo is an essential material for forging the Sky-Piercing Flying Boat and the Heaven-Shattering Thunderclap. These two powerful weapons for conquering cities and fortresses are amplified in power because of Giant Bamboo Valley's unparalleled craftsmanship."

"You say..." Bi Lianlian closed her eyes and said, "If the Demon Realm wants to expand, which realm will they choose to attack first?"

"There's little doubt about that; it's most likely our realm. But High Priest, rest assured, even if the Myriad Tribulations True Lord himself comes this time, I will not be afraid!" General Nutian said proudly.

Xiao Xuan thought to himself, "Giant Bamboo Valley originally belonged to the Spirit Bamboo Clan. E'yan is clearly trying to reclaim her homeland. These two demons are thinking too much..."

"If the Myriad Tribulations True Lord himself comes, you and I will die without a burial place," Bi Lianlian sighed.

"Is that fellow really that powerful?" General Nutian asked.

Bi Lianlian squinted at him and said, "Qiqi has been to many places in recent years to find medicine for the young master. During this time, she has also collected a lot of information. All indications suggest that the strength of the demon realm is rapidly expanding. Moreover, the depth of Wan Jie Zhenjun's cultivation is still unknown. Judging from a few scattered pieces of information, he is probably no less than the Little Demon Queen."

General Nutian frowned deeply upon hearing this and said, "I heard that recently, in order to compete for the Primordial Tai Xuan, the demon realm launched a large-scale confrontation with the Heavenly Realm and the West. The two sides were on the verge of war. Afterwards, the Little Demon Queen fought with Chong Yuanzi, the leader of the Xuan Sect and one of the immortal ancestors of the Earthly Realm, for some unknown reason, resulting in a draw. The demon realm is probably too busy to take care of itself right now."

Xiao Xuan was completely bewildered, his heart filled with wonder: "The Demon Realm is in a standoff with the Heavenly Realm and the West over the Primordial Mystery? I have no idea... And why is the Sect Master fighting with the Little Demon Queen? This is a very serious matter!"

"I hope so," Bi Lianlian said. "I've also heard rumors that besides being impervious to water and fire and indestructible, the Giant Bamboo Fortress has an incredible ability: the entire fortress is said to have self-healing capabilities, like a living thing. If this rumor is true, then it will be extremely troublesome." "

This is indeed true," General Nutian smiled and said, "I have already confirmed it."

Bi Lianlian gave an "oh," and seeing that he seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words, she shut up and listened.

"The Thousand-Armed Elder had a good-for-nothing son who escaped the night Giant Bamboo Fortress fell. Elder Bu ordered him to come before me for orders." General Nutian paused, then calmly continued, "He has told me about Giant Bamboo Fortress's terrain, defenses, and all its secrets. It turns out that Giant Bamboo Fortress's self-healing ability comes entirely from the Yin Vein of Tai Bi."

"Tai Bi's Yin Vein? Tai Bi has a Yin Vein?" Bi Lianlian asked, slightly surprised.

"Tai Bi's Yin Vein is hidden deep beneath the center of Giant Bamboo Fortress. The Spirit Bamboo Clan has benefited immensely from it. Giant Bamboo Fortress was initially built because of it, and over thousands of years, it has gradually developed from scattered buildings to its current grand scale," General Nutian said.

Bi Lianlian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Tai Bi has a Yin Vein, why didn't the Thousand-Armed Elder report this to the Council of Elders?"

"He must have had ulterior motives, but that fellow is now completely destroyed, so we can't pursue it further," General Nutian said.

"So..." Bi Lianlian squinted and said, "As long as we destroy that so-called Tai Bi Yin Vein, we can disable Giant Bamboo Fortress's self-healing ability?"

"Exactly." General Nutian nodded, "Therefore, I have decided that after the battle begins tomorrow, I will order that good-for-nothing son of the Thousand-Armed Old Man to lead the way and send an elite force to sneak into the center of Giant Bamboo Fortress amidst the chaos, to temporarily seal or completely destroy that Tai Bi Yin Vein."

"They also know Giant Bamboo Fortress's weakness..." Xiao Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.

"But Giant Bamboo Fortress must be heavily guarded and full of traps. Are you confident you can succeed?" Bi Lianlian stared at him and asked.

"No." General Nutian smiled, looking at her meaningfully.

A hint of suspicion flashed across Bi Lianlian's face, then she suddenly realized and said, "You're plotting against me?"

General Nutian chuckled and said, "I've organized an elite team, all of them capable of taking on a hundred men each. But this plan is of utmost importance and cannot afford the slightest mistake. Therefore, only by having High Priest Bi take charge can we ensure its complete success."

"I was wondering why you suddenly graced us with your presence, General!" Bi Lianlian's jade-like face turned cold, and she raised her voice, "Elder Bu did ask me to help you, but he didn't ask me to be your vanguard, much less to venture deep behind enemy lines and risk my life!"

"High Priest, don't be angry. If this plan succeeds, Giant Bamboo Fortress will be within our grasp." General Nutian continued, "This time, the Elders' Council ordered me to lead the attack on Giant Bamboo Valley. After the success, Giant Bamboo Valley will certainly be under my control. This will be of great benefit to both of us." "

This will indeed be of great benefit to you, General, but what does it have to do with me?" Bi Lianlian snorted.

"This is a big deal." General Nutian smiled slightly. "Everyone in the realm knows that you, High Priest, and the Thousand-Armed Old Man are irreconcilable enemies. Now, the Giant Bamboo Valley, which he has been holding onto, is about to change hands. And I have always stood on the High Priest's side. Wouldn't taking over Giant Bamboo Valley be beneficial?"

Bi Lianlian stared at him and suddenly laughed. "You've always been on my side?"

General Nutian took a step forward and said with a grin, "Isn't that right?"

Bi Lianlian's face suddenly hardened. "Don't play games with me. I still can't figure out what the General is thinking... In my opinion, you're more on my side."

"What do you mean?" General Nutian spread his hands, looking aggrieved. "That's unfair."

"Unfair?" Bi Lianlian snorted. "Last time, when Qiqi and Dai Xiaomei were vying for the position of Inspector, the General supported that fox spirit."

"This..." General Nutian stammered.

"And also, when that vixen returned to her parents' home the year before last, I heard that the General served her with utmost care and effort, which made me suspicious—" Bi Lianlian glared at him and sneered, "Did the General get some kind of benefit from her?"

"What nonsense!" General Nutian shouted, angrily saying, "The more you talk, the more wronged you become! Last time, escorting that little slut back was only because of the Young Master's personal order, wasn't it? He said there were many people who wanted to harm her, otherwise, with my status as the Grand Marshal of the Seven Evil Armies, why would I do such a cowardly thing?"

Bi Lianlian stared at him expressionlessly, as if pondering something.

General Nutian glanced at Xiao Gouzi standing beside him, then suddenly said solemnly, "Alright! Today, I will express my feelings before the High Priest, just one sentence."

Bi Lianlian raised her eyebrows slightly, waiting for him to continue.

The Great General of Wrath paused for a moment before speaking, "The young master has been ill for a long time. Although everyone in our realm has done their utmost, there has been no improvement. Recently, he was injured by the White-browed Black Rat's Broken True Pearl. He is like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment..." Bi Lianlian

stared intently at him.

The Great General of Wrath lowered his voice to an extremely low level, "After the young master, among the two consorts, I will definitely support Qi Qi."

Bi Lianlian's eyes lit up, and she suddenly smiled radiantly. Her beauty was so captivating that it instantly filled the room with brilliance.

Not only was the squirrel Xiao Xuan on the bed stunned, but even the Great General of Wrath stared intently, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he were secretly swallowing.

Bi Lianlian stifled a laugh, cooing sweetly, "Could it be that the Great General is just trying to please me?"

"Since the High Priest refuses to believe me..." The Great General of Wrath immediately swore an oath: "Heaven and Earth, all the venerable ones of our realm, if my words just now were even slightly false, may I be annihilated, body and soul, and never be reincarnated!"

"Alright, alright, I believe you then," Bi Lianlian laughed.

"Actually, Elder Bu and Elder Shen have already given me a brief hint. How could I not know the implications and the circumstances?" the Great General of Wrath said softly.

"The Great General is indeed a wise man," Bi Lianlian leaned back, cooing, "Alright, I'll risk my life for you tomorrow, but I don't need your men, just my own."

"Fine! As long as the High Priest is willing to act, Giant Bamboo Fortress will be in our grasp," the Great General of Wrath said happily.

"Go back now, and prepare carefully. Don't let anything go wrong tomorrow and ruin everything," Bi Lianlian said.

General Nutian stared at her, but remained standing still.

"Is there anything else?" Bi Lianlian looked up at him.

General Nutian glanced at Xiao Gouzi beside him and said, "There's another extremely important matter."

"Just say it. Xiao Gouzi is like my shadow, he won't get in the way," Bi Lianlian said.

General Nutian suddenly knelt down, pounced on her, and cupped her fair, rounded feet in his arms, lowering his head to kiss and nibble wildly.

Bi Lianlian tried to pull her feet away, but they were held tightly. She giggled and said, "What are you doing?" "

Nutian has long admired the High Priest, yearning for him day and night. Today, I hope the High Priest will grant me this favor," General Nutian said with a lecherous grin. He had been so imposing before, but now he had suddenly become like a cat begging for its master's favor.

"No, let go!" Bi Lianlian shook her head and struggled.

The Angry General pounced like a bear, pressing her down into the chair without a word.

"Listen to me!" Bi Lianlian cried out, pushing him away with her hands.

"Tell me, tell me!" General Nutian said, his hands groping and groping the woman's body, his breathing becoming increasingly heavy.

Bi Lianlian said with seductive eyes, "Let me tell you, you probably already know that this priest knows the art of 'replenishing essence'. If you insist, be careful, or I'll get angry and drain all your vital essence."
