"Heart Demon," upon seeing, took a step back and exclaimed, "Feng Qingyang, it's you!"
Feng Qingyang, the leader of the Holy Ten Exorcists, was a name that resonated like thunder; he was one in a million, a master among masters. His sudden appearance caught everyone off guard, leaving them to wonder what kind of battle would ensue.
"Ah, you are Li Yunyang's master?" Ling Zhu felt a surge of excitement in her heart. She hadn't expected him to appear so suddenly. It seemed he was here either for Heart Demon or for the matter concerning Serpent Empress.
"Hmm?" Feng Qingyang turned his head and scrutinized Ling Zhu closely, asking with a puzzled expression, "You know Yunyang?"
"He is my friend!" Ling Zhu replied, pointing at Heart Demon and shouting, "Senior Feng, this Heart Demon is a general under the Demon Lord. They are conspiring to lift the last seal and release the Demon Lord from the Demon Prison Tower!"
Feng Qingyang had come to investigate the matter of the seal. While passing nearby, he heard commotion and came to check it out, not expecting to encounter Heart Demon right then; it was as if he had stumbled upon something without any effort.
"Heart Demon?" Feng Qingyang's gaze swept over Heart Demon before scanning the surroundings, first landing on Serpent Empress and then on the Witch.
Serpent Empress, fearing trouble would come her way, quickly devised a plan and pointed at the Witch, exclaiming, "This woman is the princess of the demon realm, Witch Jingyue."
Indeed, even from a distance, Feng Qingyang could sense the unusual magical power emanating from her. With his white long sleeves billowing, his black eyes sparkled with killing intent as he declared, "Today, no one shall escape!"
"Damn troublesome old man!" Heart Demon cursed inwardly. If it weren't for Feng Qingyang discovering the matter of the seal, everything wouldn't have been forced into action so soon. However, this guy was a Saint Ten; if a battle broke out, Heart Demon feared he wouldn't stand a chance.
Serpent Empress quickly retreated, planning to take advantage of the situation to escape and leave this mess for Witch and Heart Demon to deal with. Although she couldn't kill Heart Demon, this troublesome old man would be enough of a challenge for them in the future.
The air around Feng Qingyang began to swirl as he made no move to draw any weapons. Instead, he extended two fingers from his right hand and launched an attack: "Exorcism Essence: Crimson Lotus Fire Dragon Bullet!"
In an instant, flames shot up from the ground to human height, forming fireballs in mid-air. With a wave of his hand, the rising fireballs surged toward Witch and Heart Demon. Suddenly, an earth-shaking roar erupted from within the forest as flames ignited the dark night sky.
Boom! After several loud explosions, flames soared into the sky; within the forest, Heart Demon, Witch, and Serpent Empress began fleeing in different directions. If they were to engage in battle with this maniacal fighter, it seemed likely that the entire mountain would be leveled. Moreover, there were more pressing matters at hand. After exchanging glances with each other, Witch and Heart Demon split up to act independently.
"Hmph!" Feng Qingyang glanced around in three directions. It was indeed a wise choice for the three to separate. He cast a glance towards the Heart Demon and then, with a burst of Azure Wind beneath his feet, he quickly chased after it.
In the entire open space, only Ling Zhu remained. The burning black smoke from the Miasma made it impossible for her to open her eyes, let alone find the right direction to pursue.
Before long, all the trees within a five-mile radius had been burned to ashes, leaving behind a vast expanse of black ruins. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, staring at the endless barren hillside. What kind of power was this? The casually executed Five-Character Formula had already reduced the forest to nothing.
Ling Zhu stood still and looked around; there was not a single figure in sight. The Serpent Empress, Heart Demon, Witch, and even Feng Qingyang had all disappeared. In the desolate hillside, she was left all alone.
"Really, why didn't Feng Qingyang say where he was going?" Ling Zhu felt helpless and had no choice but to return to the inn they had stayed at earlier. By now, it was already dawn, and as soon as she returned, she found Qingtian and Li Yunyang standing at the door with serious expressions.
"What happened?" Ling Zhu asked in confusion as she looked at the two men who stood there without saying a word. After asking several times without any response from them, she became furious: "You two should at least say something! You're driving me crazy!"
Ling Zhu wondered if it was because of Xiang Xueer. When she had seen Shirley earlier, the one who had Awakened inside her was that Witch. However, Lan Ran Qingtian could hardly hide his discomfort as he slowly said, "It's Lian Xiong... he..."
Qingtian couldn't finish his sentence. Ling Zhu's heart tightened with anxiety. What happened to Lian Cheng Xue? She pushed past the two men standing at the door and opened it to see Lian Cheng Xue lying on the bed with his eyes tightly closed.
Ling Zhu's heart sank; it couldn't be what she feared. She swallowed hard and walked over to the bedside, only to see Lian Cheng Xue's face pale and a torn wound on his chest, with dried blood around it.
She reached out to check his nose; it was cold and showed no signs of life. Lian Cheng Xue... he was already dead.
"What on earth happened? Who did this?" Ling Zhu turned her head to question Lan Ran Qingtian and Li Yunyang, asking, "He was fine when I left! How could such a thing happen in just half a day?"
Li Yunyang frowned slightly, his fists clenched tightly as his knuckles cracked: "It was... the Witch. When we found him, even Duck had been taken by the Witch!"
"Duck?" Ling Zhu's heart sank upon hearing this; how could such a thing happen? If Xiang Xueer knew about this, she would blame herself terribly. Even though she hadn't killed Lian Cheng Xue herself, how would she face her friends?
Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Last night, I found Heart Demon, and Witch was there too, but I didn't see Duck. Could it be that Duck has already been killed?"
"What? You saw Witch last night?" Lan Ran Qingtian quickly asked, "Where did you encounter them? Hurry and take us to find him!"
Ling Zhu shook her head and replied, "You need to listen to me carefully. A lot happened last night, and I can't explain it all in just a few words."
After saying this, Ling Zhu began to recount the events of the previous night, detailing her battle with Heart Demon, the interference from Serpent Empress, the appearance of Feng Qingyang, and the schemes between them and Heart Demon. However, by the time she came back to her senses, the three of them had already vanished without a trace.
"What? Master also appeared?" Li Yunyang had some experience but still felt very concerned. "As expected, the rumors are true. Master is really at Sky Beyond Mountain. He must have come for the sealing of the Demon Lord."
"But Shirley is in danger now!" Lan Ran Qingtian said worriedly. "Lian Xiong told us before he passed that Witch wants to kill Shirley, and we must ensure her safety."
Ling Zhu nodded, "Yes, now there's only one seal left. Keeping Xiang Xueer around is pointless; it would be better to eliminate her early to prevent future troubles!"
"What should we do now?" Li Yunyang became particularly cautious. Perhaps after the incident with Lian Cheng Xue, he suddenly matured a lot. From now on, he needed to think things through thoroughly and not act recklessly; otherwise, he would only drag his friends down and cause them trouble.
Lan Chengxue raised her eagle-like eyes slowly: "It's time to take action. Brother Li and I will go look for Witch. Ling Zhu, please go search for Duck. No matter how bad it is, he is still one of us; we can't just stand by and do nothing!"
"Alright, it's settled then!" Ling Zhu agreed with Lian Cheng Xue's plan. "But before tomorrow evening, regardless of whether we find Witch, we must meet back here!"
"Okay." Li Yunyang nodded in agreement and then turned to look at Lian Cheng Xue, who was lying on the bed, asking, "What about Lian Xiong?"
