Thinking about this, he couldn't help but swallow hard; he had just been courting death.

However, he immediately thought of another question: "By the way, since she killed so many experts of the imperial court, why didn't the emperor take action? Didn't you say that the previous leader of the Demonic Sect was killed by the emperor?"

Zhu Xie Chixin explained, "The main reason is that the woman is too cunning. She took advantage of the Emperor's return to the capital to make her move. Every time the court's forces were strong, she would disappear without a trace with her subordinates. When the court's forces were weak, she would suddenly appear like a ghost and wipe them out. The court failed to suppress her several times, so they temporarily gave up."

Zu An was shocked. Yun Jianyue had truly grasped the essence of guerrilla warfare. However, he was utterly perplexed by the court's choice: "Give up? The court would actually give up?"

It's hard to understand why they would give up now that most of the world's top experts have been recruited by the imperial court, which is full of talented people.

Zhu Xie Chixin lowered his voice and said, "In the early years, during the great war between the human and demon races, although the emperor killed the demon emperor, he was also seriously injured by the demon emperor's counterattack before his death. The emperor managed to suppress his injuries, but when he killed the previous leader of the demonic sect, it aggravated his injuries. Therefore, the emperor focused more on recuperating and had no time to deal with the demonic sect. Others in the court were not necessarily a match for Yun Jianyue. In addition, under her leadership, the demonic sect changed its previous practice of attacking prefectures and counties at will, so everyone tacitly agreed to live in peace."

Zu An suddenly realized why so many of the emperor's and empress's uncles were still alive and kicking, while this strongest man in the world was the first to face the five signs of decay. It turned out that his foundation had been damaged in the great battle in his early years.

However, it's clear that the emperor is truly formidable. Even with his foundation damaged, he was still able to kill the previous leader of the Demonic Sect, and this time he easily defeated Yun Jianyue as well.

"Alright, I need to continue searching for Yun Jianyue's whereabouts." Zhu Xie Chixin's purpose in coming here was to subtly probe Zu An's mission, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cooperative, so he naturally returned satisfied.

Zu'an stood up to see him off, waving goodbye as he left and saying, "I wish you catch that female demon soon, brother."

After Zhu Xie Chixin left, Zu An closed the door again. Yun Jianyue was already sitting on the edge of the bed, giving him a disdainful look: "Sycophant."

“What do you know? This is called social etiquette. Saying a few nice words won’t hurt anything, and it will also help you get along with him. Why not?” Zu’an was naturally unhappy.

Yun Jianyue said calmly, "That's because you're too weak. You only think about these crooked ways. If you were strong enough, you could solve any problem with a single sword strike. Why bother trying to please others like this?"

Zuan rolled his eyes: "Then why don't you try beheading the emperor?"

Yun Jianyue gasped for breath: "..."

The anger level from Yun Jianyue is 111!

Can't this guy even have a proper conversation?

Zuan dragged over a stool and sat down in front of her, looking her up and down with curiosity: "Are you really the kind of big devil he was talking about?"

Yun Jianyue wasn't used to his face being so close to hers, as if she could feel his breath. She subconsciously leaned back to increase the distance between them: "Yeah, I also love to eat baby brains, the kind that can stop babies from crying at night, so you'd better not mess with me."

Zu An scrutinized her for a long time, finding it hard to connect the beautiful and charming woman before him with the female demon Zhu Xie Chixin had described.

Ugh, you're always so superficial, how despicable!

He cursed himself inwardly, then said, "Now that you've said that, I need to reassess how to deal with you. Since you're such a ruthless killer, you'll likely come after me after you recover from your injuries. I can't beat you anyway, so I might as well strike first and kill you."

After saying that, he deliberately made a ferocious expression.

Yun Jianyue sat there without moving, her expression unchanged, just quietly watching him, as if she were looking at a fool.

Zuan: "..."

"Big sister, please cooperate. I'm obviously super fierce, aren't you afraid?"

Yun Jianyue said calmly, "You have no murderous intent."

Zuan was taken aback, but immediately realized that at her level, she could already keenly sense invisible killing intent, so no matter how fierce she pretended to be, it was useless.

Thinking about this, he felt somewhat disheartened. Faced with this domineering older woman, many of the tricks he used to deceive young girls were simply useless.

He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it over: "This is the Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill. It has miraculous effects on all kinds of internal and external injuries. Take it."

Yun Jianyue glanced at it: "The medicine from Physician Ji of Mingyue City?"

Now it was Zuan's turn to be surprised: "You know him?"

How does Ji Dengtu know so many stunning beauties?

Then why do you keep contacting me every day? You were just playing a game of ambidexterity.

Sigh, I wonder how Xiaoxi is doing. I miss that cute little girl a bit. I really want to pinch her soft, chubby cheeks and give her a kiss...

Yun Jianyue replied, "I've heard a little about it. Hong Lei infiltrated Mingyue City before and sent back some information about him. You can keep this medicine for yourself; it's useless to me."

"Huh?" Zu An felt indignant on Ji Dengtu's behalf. "Although Doctor Ji's cultivation level is not as high as yours, his medical skills are still top-notch, right? Why is it useless to you?"

Yun Jianyue explained, "At our level, our bodies are much stronger than those of ordinary cultivators. We generally don't suffer any fatal injuries, and even if we do suffer some serious injuries, we can slowly recover on our own."

Zu An's expression was strange. He seemed to have returned to the dilemma he had when he first transmigrated to this world. With Yun Jianyue's current cultivation level, the intensity of her physical tempering had, to some extent, transcended the human realm.
