The eyes of the Heart Demon glanced at the Luring Demon Pot lying on the ground, slowly picked it up, covered it with the gourd lid, and coldly stared at Ling Zhu on the ground: "This is a good treasure, but unfortunately, the master is too incompetent, so it cannot be put to use!"
"Damn it, Heart Demon, I will kill you!" Ling Zhu struggled hard, trying to stand up, but after several attempts, all the acupoints in her body had been sealed by the Heart Demon, rendering her completely immobile.
"Want to kill me? Maybe in your next life!" The corners of the Heart Demon's eyes revealed a murderous intent. The jade flute in its hand suddenly transformed into a blue long sword, aimed directly at Ling Zhu: "Betraying me leads to this outcome!"
"Oh no, Filling is in danger now!" Xiang Xueer was shocked. She didn't expect Ling Zhu to be prepared but still unable to withstand this Heart Demon. This scoundrel truly deserved to be the most favored general under the Demon Lord.
At that moment, Li Yunyang suddenly stood up, drew his Azure Dragon Sword, and prepared to rush in. However, he was stopped by Xiang Xueer: "Hey, don't be impulsive! This Heart Demon is tough to deal with!"
"But we can't just watch her die!" Li Yunyang was hot-tempered and strong-willed; nothing could stop him at this moment. Without saying another word, he raised his sword and charged into the Ruined Temple.
"Azure Dragon Slash!" A fierce shout flew from behind the Heart Demon. The Heart Demon reacted quickly and could discern where danger was coming from just from the flowing aura in the air.
With a swift step, it dodged Li Yunyang's attack. However, his Azure Dragon Slash struck the wall directly, creating a large hole. The already dilapidated slope was now on the verge of collapse.
Wow! This idiot! It's going to fall! Xiang Xueer hurriedly rushed into the Ruined Temple as well. The two of them lifted the limp Ling Zhu off the ground and quickly ran out of the Ruined Temple. Just as they turned to exit, there was a loud rumble, and the Ruined Temple collapsed instantly into a pile of ruins.
That was a close call! Xiang Xueer turned around and scolded Li Yunyang: "Please check the terrain before fighting next time; we almost got killed!"
"Is it you?" The Heart Demon glanced at Li Yunyang and then fixed its gaze on Xiang Xueer: "Princess, please hand her over to me!"
"Oh? You called me princess?" Xiang Xueer sneered and lightly tapped her stomach with her finger: "Heart Demon, sorry, your princess is taking a nap here; don't mistake your target!"
The Heart Demon squinted at Xiang Xueer in front of it. Indeed, although this body contained the soul of a Witch, it was currently Xiang Xueer who controlled this body, not the Witch.
Hmph! The Heart Demon cursed inwardly and slowly walked towards Ling Zhu lying on the ground: "What a pity; this woman cannot be left alive. I must kill her today!"
"You can't! Heart Demon, quickly release her husband!" Li Yunyang raised the sword in his hand, ready to attack without hesitation.
"Oh?" Heart Demon sneered as he looked at the two in front of him. "It's truly incomprehensible what you Exorcists are thinking. How can you defend a traitor?"
Xiang Xueer reached down and grabbed the dagger from her ankle. "Don't get it wrong, Heart Demon. I never said I liked this woman, but one thing is clear: I, Xiang Xueer, never owe anyone anything. She saved my life, so you won't kill her today."
Ling Zhu couldn't believe it. After discovering that she was a traitor, Xiang Xueer and Li Yunyang were still willing to protect her. The look in Heart Demon's eyes turned cold; it seemed these two were determined to protect her. This woman knew too much and couldn't be left alive—she had to be killed to prevent future troubles!
Li Yunyang settled Ling Zhu beside a large tree, helping her sit up. "Don't worry, we will definitely protect you!"
Ling Zhu lowered her head in shame and grabbed Li Yunyang's sleeve, gritting her teeth as she said regretfully, "I'm sorry for all the harm I've caused you!"
"Don't mind it! We know you were forced. Your husband is in Heart Demon's hands!" Li Yunyang gently patted her shoulder and then turned to stand beside Xiang Xueer.
Heart Demon furrowed his brows tightly and glanced sideways at Ling Zhu. Remembering what the Demon Lord had instructed him earlier, he sheathed his sword and, with a swirl of black wind, left without saying another word.
Huh? What just happened? Li Yunyang had readied himself for battle, but this Heart Demon had vanished. Xiang Xueer sighed deeply. "It seems he doesn't want to fight for now; we've both been spared!"
Xiang Xueer turned and walked into the Ruined Temple, searching through the ruins for quite some time but still couldn't find the Luring Demon Pot. It seemed that the Heart Demon had gotten there first!
The two helped Ling Zhu up and prepared to return to the inn. By this time, daylight had already broken. Lian Cheng Xue and Qingtian pushed open the door to Li Yunyang's room in the morning only to find him missing. They then went to look for Xiang Xueer, only to discover that both of them had mysteriously disappeared!
"Wow! My sister really doesn't want me anymore! She eloped with Li Yunyang!” Duck sat on the ground crying uncontrollably, then pointed at Lian Cheng Xue and Qingtian, complaining, "It's fine if you don't want her, but why don't you want me either!"
Just then, Li Yunyang and Xiang Xueer, supporting Ling Zhu, happened to return to the inn. Upon seeing them, the two hurried over and asked, "What on earth happened? What's wrong with Ling Zhu?"
"Let's go inside and talk!" Xiang Xueer placed Ling Zhu on the bed. Qingtian checked to see if there were any serious injuries; it seemed that all Ling Zhu needed was some rest.
So, the four of them left the room and walked into the corridor, slowly discussing the situation. Lian Cheng Xue and Lan Ran Qingtian exclaimed in surprise, "So that's how it is! Although we knew from the beginning that Ling Zhu was a spy, we didn't expect this reason behind it. It seems Ling Zhu is quite pitiful!"
"Huh?" Li Yunyang pointed at Qingtian and Lian Cheng Xue, suddenly astonished. "What? You already knew? Then why didn't you tell me?"
"If we told you, with your hot temper, you would have confronted her and it would have been revealed sooner or later!" Xiang Xueer shot him a glare and continued, "The three of us have been secretly monitoring her!"
Li Yunyang felt a sense of exclusion and disappointment. He turned to Duck, who was standing nearby, and asked, "Duck, why are we so unfortunate to be left out?"
Duck glared with his beady eyes, arms crossed over his chest. "You're the only one who's unfortunate; I was involved too!"
"What? Even Duck knew about this and didn't tell me?" Li Yunyang felt as if he had been hit hard on the head; his eyelids drooped instantly, feeling extremely hurt as he turned away, muttering, "I'm even worse than Duck; I'm even worse than Duck!"
"Big sister!" Duck's eyes welled up with tears as he hugged Xiang Xueer's leg tightly. "Ling Zhu threatened me! She said if I told you her identity, she would use the Luring Demon Pot to capture me and turn me into pus after forty-nine days!"
"Luring Demon Pot?" Qingtian suddenly asked in shock. "Are you talking about the Ancient Artifact: Luring Demon Pot?"
"Yes, it's a small gourd, but it was eventually taken by Heart Demon!" Xiang Xueer nodded and asked, "Qingtian, why are you so surprised? Is it a very powerful weapon?"
"Yes, the Ancient Artifact: Luring Demon Pot is said to be able to absorb any demon into the pot. After being refined for forty-nine days, even gods would turn into a puddle of pus. Of course, that's just a legend; no one has ever seen it. Where did Ling Zhu get it?" Qingtian asked.
