With a loud 'thud', Ouyang Zhentian was knocked unconscious. Qingtian clasped his hands together apologetically and said, "Uncle, I'm truly sorry, but there's nothing I can say now that will prevent you from harming Shirley!"
He laid him flat on the icy surface and turned to join Xiang Xueer and Fire Rat in their battle. For a moment, the two masters faced off against Fire Rat, which began to retreat under their combined assault, quickly falling into a disadvantage.
Qingtian executed a Five-Character Formula, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that knocked Fire Rat to the ground. Xiang Xueer took the opportunity to press her Azure Wind Sword against its neck. "Tell me quickly, where is the Million Demon Army hiding?"
Fire Rat's red eyes darted around. It had initially planned to deal with that old man Ouyang Zhentian but hadn't expected to encounter Cheng Yaojin halfway through. Now with Xiang Xueer and Lan Ran Qingtian appearing, it found itself in such a dire situation.
"Hmph!" Fire Rat smirked coldly, maintaining an air of calm as it looked at the two. It then waved its hand mysteriously, saying, "You want to know the whereabouts of the Million Demon Lord? Come closer, and I'll tell you."
Xiang Xueer and Lan Ran Qingtian exchanged glances and cautiously began to approach Fire Rat. Just then, a tall figure jumped down from above.
With a loud crash, it landed on the icy surface, causing it to crack instantly. With several loud noises, the ground beneath them became unstable. Seeing this, Xiang quickly knelt on one knee; fortunately, she had learned how to skate as a child, so this level of difficulty was manageable for her.
Fire Rat shot a sideways glance at the sudden arrival and complained irritably, "Wolf King, you've been spying for so long! Watching me get into trouble and not coming out to help!"
The person who had suddenly appeared was indeed Wolf King. He moved swiftly and was soon beside Fire Rat, helping it up from the ground. "I see you're having so much fun; I didn't want to interrupt!"
"Hmph!" Fire Rat scoffed coldly. "I see you just want to watch me die; that would make you happy, right? Fine then, since you're here, let's take care of these two little pests together!"
Upon hearing this, Wolf King immediately objected and pulled Fire Rat away, turning to leave. "Stop messing around; we should get out of here quickly. We have important matters to attend to!"
Saying this, he ignored Fire Rat's protests and vanished in a whirlwind from the icy surface. Xiang Xueer hurriedly stood up and looked around; the air had long since lost any trace of the two.
Wolf King was truly formidable; he managed to conceal his presence completely without her noticing. Moreover, his movements were incredibly swift, making it hard for anyone to defend against him.
"Hmph!" Xiang Xueer huffed, turning on her heel with her dark eyes filled with anger. Qingtian hurriedly followed her and asked, "Shirley, where are you planning to go?"
She turned her head and glared at Qingtian, saying, "The fight is over, the person has run away. What are we still doing here?"
"Then what about Uncle?" Lan Ran Qingtian looked conflicted as he turned to see Ouyang Zhentian lying unconscious on the icy ground. Xiang Xueer glanced down at him and replied, "I don't care. Just leave him here; it's better than having him wake up and come after me!"
With that, she leaped from the ice onto solid ground. After the snow melted, the weather returned to what it was before. Lan Ran Qingtian helped Ouyang Zhentian up and laid him flat on the ground. "Uncle, I apologize. We have to leave now!"
He would probably wake up in less than an hour. Fire Rat and Wolf King had already left, so this place should be relatively safe for now. The two returned to Fat Ancestor's location, where the others were anxiously waiting for them. When they saw them return safely, a huge weight was lifted from their hearts.
"Big sister, let's hurry and leave this place!" Duck said nervously, tugging at her sleeve as he looked around. "I feel like someone is watching us!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xueer glanced around and indeed sensed some malevolent presence nearby; it seemed this area was not very safe.
"Mm!" Gunaara approached Xiang Xueer with a pious expression and handed her a water bottle. "Master, you must be thirsty; have some water!"
Master? Xiang Xueer looked at Gunaara's smiling face and couldn't help but chuckle softly. She took a few sips from the bottle and then handed it to Qingtian. "Pack up; we need to move quickly."
The group headed southward when suddenly a pair of Red Eyes appeared from behind a tree. A Crimson Python transformed into a beautiful woman who covered her mouth and chuckled softly. "How interesting; the Demon Lord didn't die after all. In that case, I, Serpent Empress, will just watch the show unfold and wait for my chance."
After saying this, she turned again and transformed into a small red snake, swiftly disappearing into the grass with a flick.
An hour later, Ouyang Zhentian indeed woke up. As he opened his eyes, memories of the battle flooded back to him, but when he looked around, he found himself completely alone—neither Fire Rat nor Xiang Xueer was in sight.
"Damn it!" His face turned pale with anger as Ouyang Zhentian clenched his fists and slammed them into the ground. "You beasts! I will make you pay for today's humiliation with your lives!"
He stood up, feeling a heart-wrenching pain throughout his body. The continuous battles had damaged his true energy. Ouyang Zhentian intended to quickly spread the news that the Demon Lord was not dead, but unfortunately, he had to find a secluded place to heal first before making further plans.
As Xiang Xueer and the others continued on their journey, they finally found a Ruined Temple to rest in by evening. The group split up to patrol the surrounding area. Xiang Xueer turned her head to glance at the people inside, who were all snoring as they slept haphazardly together, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Qingtian couldn't sleep. Seeing Xiang Xueer still patrolling outside, he took a coat and walked out, draping it over her shoulders. "It's cold; you should go inside. I'll take care of things here!"
"Hehe!" Xiang Xueer shook her head. "Don't worry; I'm fine. It's better to be cautious in this desolate place, especially since we still have the Ancient Five Divine Artifacts with us."
"Well, if that's the case, then I'll accompany you on the night watch!" Qingtian said with a smile as he turned towards the back door of the Ruined Temple. "Leave the back to me!"
After tonight, another day would pass. They had six days to find and destroy the whereabouts of the Demon Army, and the task was extremely daunting. Little did she know that the Demon Lord was still alive.
Ling Zhu's face was illuminated by the red candlelight, appearing blood-red, and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat. She murmured, "Husband, please don't die!"
In her dream, she saw the Heart Demon stab a long sword into her husband's heart. He fell to the ground, covered in blood, reaching out for her desperately: "Ling Zhu, save me! I don't want to die!"
No, please! She desperately tried to rush forward, but it felt as if her body was shackled to the ground; no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't move an inch.
Seeing her beloved's lifeless eyes wide open after taking his last breath made it impossible for her to close them. She finally couldn't hold back any longer and fell into a frenzy of pain.
At that moment, beside her husband's corpse, the Demon Lord and Fire Rat appeared, both speaking with an evil tone as they reproached her: "Your husband's death is entirely your fault. You could have saved him, but you refused."
