She turned her head and glanced sideways, and sure enough, it was the Serpent Empress, this Demoness. The original plan was for the Serpent Empress to pretend to save Gu Liu Ma, gain his temporary trust, and then strike him down. However, she never expected that this treacherous Serpent Empress would ambush her.
It hurt so much; the Serpent Empress's sharp claws had already pierced into her body. Xiang Xueer felt her strength draining away, and the Azure Wind Sword in her hand gradually fell. She cursed fiercely, "Serpent Empress, you scoundrel!"
"Hehe, sorry about that. When acting, one must be more convincing!" The Serpent Empress waved her hand, pulling out her blood-stained fingers from Xiang Xueer's back. Xiang Xueer saw that the cage holding Gu Liu Ma had also been broken in an instant.
Lan Ran Qingtian widened his eyes in shock; he never expected the Serpent Empress to launch a sneak attack. Clenching his fists tightly, he charged at her. She glanced back and pushed Xiang Xueer towards Qingtian before turning around and landing beside Gu Liu Ma.
I was too careless to believe that demon Serpent Empress. Xiang Xueer could no longer muster any strength; she watched helplessly as the Serpent Empress took Gu Liu Ma away. This scoundrel dared to ambush me; just wait, one day I will destroy you.
"Shirley, are you okay? What happened?" Qingtian quickly laid her down on the ground. Upon seeing the wound on her back, he couldn't help but gasp in shock; the wound was bleeding profusely. He hurriedly applied the hemostatic medicine he carried with him and bandaged the wound.
From a distance, she heard Gunaara and Duck's voices. Xiang Xueer weakly lifted her head; upon seeing her injured, they rushed over in panic. "Master, how are you? You mustn't die!"
"Damn it, even if I don't die, you'll curse me to death!" Xiang Xueer no longer had the strength to curse; she slowly closed her eyes. "Qingtian, let's leave here first and find a place to recuperate!"
"Okay, hold on a bit; I'll carry you away!" Qingtian said as he picked up Xiang Xueer. Surrounded by dense Tropical Rainforest, they walked for quite a while before finally spotting a small village in the distance and settled into a very shabby inn.
The Demon Lord was injured and rescued by Fire Rat and Wolf King, while the Million Demon Army had nearly vanished. It seemed things would calm down for a few days. However, with only four days left until Hexagram reached completion, Xiang Xueer lay in bed worrying incessantly.
As long as the Demon Lord was alive, there would be no peace between the human and demon realms. Plus that pesky Gu Liu Ma—who knew what kind of trouble he might stir up?
The door creaked open with a 'squeak', and Gunaara walked in holding a tray. She turned to see Xiang Xueer still awake and approached with a bowl of porridge. "Master, I made some porridge; please eat something!"
Xiang Xueer had no appetite and was just about to refuse when she turned her head and found Gunaara's face dirty, with strands of hair showing signs of being burned. It seemed that this girl had really put in effort to prepare food for herself.
"What kind of broken inn is this? I even have to cook for myself, and I ended up burning it!" Gunaara pouted and sighed, "How about you just make do with this, Master? Tomorrow I'll buy a chicken to make soup for you!"
A smile gradually appeared on Xiang Xueer's worried face as she forced herself to sit up, looking at the blackened porridge in the bowl. "Gunaara, you really went through a lot of trouble taking care of me!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? You are my master; it's only right for the disciple to take care of the master!" Gunaara said cheerfully as she fed Xiang Xueer the porridge. "You saved our Nuwa clan; I can never repay that kindness!"
Xiang Xueer smiled knowingly, thinking of Qingtian. "I wonder how Qingtian is doing? Remember to check on him later; his injuries seem quite serious!"
"Don't worry, Master; Duck is taking care of him!" Gunaara replied, finishing feeding Xiang Xueer and gently helping her lie back down, taking great care of her. "You rest; I'll be right outside the door. Call me if you need anything!"
The door closed softly. Xiang Xueer looked up at the ceiling and suddenly wished to see Li Yunyang's smiling face. "Even Gu Liu Ma has personally come out to confront the Demon Lord. I wonder what that idiot Li Yunyang is doing now?"
"Ah, it hurts!" Suddenly, a painful scream came from the next room—Lan Ran Qingtian's voice sounded extremely miserable. After wrapping up the last bandage for him, Duck turned around and jumped off the bed. "What are you screaming about? It's just a small injury; you're still calling yourself one of the Holy Ten Exorcists!"
"Hey, the Holy Ten Exorcists are human too! Can they withstand such heavy bandaging?" Lan Ran Qingtian was in so much pain he could barely straighten his back. This Stinky Duck was practically torturing him; if he weren't injured right now, he would have already dealt with him.
Before Qingtian could react, he suddenly heard Duck's mournful wail: "Waaah! My first love! I never expected it to end so easily!"
"Ugh!" Qingtian was almost driven mad by Duck's howling; he didn't know how many times he had cried that night. "Enough already, Duck! Once a person dies, they can't come back to life; crying won't help!"
"What do you know? A stupid man like you could ever understand love?" Duck turned his head and glared at Qingtian with tears streaming down his face. "I fell in love with Sikong Xueyi at first sight; you'll never understand this feeling."
Qingtian was in pain all over. It was the middle of the night, and he had to listen to Duck making noise. So, he simply turned over in bed, covered his ears, and tried not to hear him ramble on. Duck turned his head and realized he had fallen asleep, and tears began to flow like a burst dam, nearly drowning Qingtian.
“Help! Shirley, please get Duck away from me!” Qingtian shouted in despair. Xiang Xueer heard the commotion and couldn't help but shake her head: “These two guys are keeping everyone awake in the middle of the night; this life is unbearable.”
At the same time, in the clearing by the waterfall, Li Yunyang was slowly able to stand up. He walked over to Lian Cheng Xue and helped him up. The master's true energy had improved his internal injuries somewhat, but the wounds on his body were not so easy to heal; it seemed it would take some time.
“Why hasn’t the master returned after such a long time? Could something have happened?” Lian Cheng Xue began to worry. After all, their opponent was the Demon Lord, and even a master like their teacher wouldn't find it easy to deal with him.
Li Yunyang slowly stood up and turned to look at the southern sky filled with stars. He could see that Hexagram was about to be completed; how could he still be lying here? There was no time left. He had to quickly find their master.
“Let’s go. We need to gather information and see where the master and Shirley are now. It’s better to regroup early so we can plan!” Li Yunyang exchanged glances with Lian Cheng Xue, nodded, and started heading south.
Meanwhile, Ling Zhu had already arrived at Sky Beyond Mountain. She stood beneath the damaged Demon Prison Tower, which showed signs of having been through war, looking battered and scarred.
Once she destroyed this Demon Prison Tower, her husband would be able to return safely to her side. Ling Zhu clenched her fists; having already betrayed her friends, there was no turning back now.
With a wave of her hand, countless Vine flew out from her sleeves, wrapping tightly around the Demon Prison Tower. She soared into the air and pulled with all her might. In an instant, a thunderous collapse shook the entire forest; the Demon Prison Tower fell, and the Five Divine Artifacts could no longer ignite the Light of the Sun and Moon.
If the human realm fell into the hands of the Demon Lord from now on, suffering would ensue for all living beings, and she would be the culprit for committing such an unforgivable act. Looking up at the sky, Ling Zhu wondered, what should I do?
