Yu Kai bowed deeply to Ao Ling and said sincerely, "Miss Ao, it is me, Yu Kai, who has affected your reputation. I apologize to you here!"

"No...it's okay!" Ao Ling answered hesitantly. She thought she should be happy that she didn't have to get married, but she felt inexplicably lost in her heart, and she couldn't explain why.

Yu Kai turned to Lu Ya and Kun Peng and bowed deeply again, his tone respectful and sincere: "I thank you two seniors for your kindness. I will remember the kindness of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect and will repay you in the future. Please do not make things difficult for my brothers because of the failed marriage. I am grateful!"

Lu Ya glanced at Kunpeng, then burst into laughter, his tone tinged with mockery: "Since Young Master Yu is not interested in this marriage for the time being, let's not discuss it for now! Sit down, everyone!"

Yu Kai bowed deeply once more. He didn't want to offend the two demon elders, so he said respectfully, "Thank you for your understanding. Could you please invite my brothers and friends from the Moon Spirit Sect over? I haven't seen them in years..."

"Okay, I'll bring them up to you right away!" Lu Ya nodded slightly and gestured to Qinglong. Qinglong bowed and accepted the order, then quickly retreated. A moment later, Shen Xingze and the other two were brought in.

As soon as Yu Kai saw them, he immediately went up to them and hugged Shen Xingze and the others tightly: "Brother Shen! Brother Bai! Brother Rui!"

"Brother!" Several people hugged each other at the same time, their eyes filled with the joy of reunion.

"Brother! It's great to see you. When we heard that you were captured by the Buddha, we were so worried!" There was still a hint of fear in Bai Zhiwen's tone.

"I'm fine. I'm relieved to see you're all safe!" Yu Kai patted their shoulders gently, a hint of relief in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, he lifted all the seals on them.

"Brother, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Shen Xingze asked in a low voice, his eyes full of concern.

"No, they are all fine!" Yu Kai smiled slightly and led them to bow to Kunpeng and Lu Ya, saying, "Thank you two sect masters for taking care of my brothers."

"These guys are not reassuring at all. They ran to our leader's retreat and consumed a lot of our Primordial Creation Crystals!" Lu Ya smiled and shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Brothers, please thank the two sect masters for their forgiveness!" Yu Kai signaled them to salute Kunpeng and Lu Ya.

Kunpeng, however, had an unhappy look on his face and said coldly: "For the sake of Lord Shidi and Brother Duobao, let's just let this matter go. If anyone dares to step into Lingxi Abyss again in the future, I will kill him myself!" His voice suddenly rose, murderous intent appeared on his face, and his cold eyes swept over everyone, making the atmosphere present freeze instantly.

"Yu Kai!" At this moment, Murong Shuang walked in from the door, followed by Yue Chenzi and other people from Yueling Sect.

"Sister Shuang!" Yu Kai turned around, a delighted smile on his face. He strode over and held Murong Shuang's hand tightly. "Have you been okay these years?"

Lin Niuniu frowned slightly, while Ao Ling was quite curious as to why Yu Kai was so happy to see this girl.

"Well, we're all doing well!" Murong Shuang smiled. "I haven't seen you for so many years. I never thought you'd become so powerful! They all say you're already a powerful emperor!"

"You're not bad either, you're already in the middle stage of the Great Venerable!" Yu Kai was very happy and looked at the headmaster of the Yueling Sect, "Senior!"

"Elder Yu!" Yue Chenzi bowed.

As they exchanged pleasantries, two terrifying Saint Emperor pressures descended upon the Wan Yao Sect like mountains. The Wan Yao Sect's defensive formation instantly activated, radiating a powerful light that enveloped the entire mountain gate in a golden halo.

Lu Ya and his men were well prepared and immediately activated the defensive formation after Yu Kai arrived. Otherwise, who knows how many monsters would have suffered.

"Emperor Shi, Duobao, and Yu Kai, all come out and die!" Yuanshi Tianzun's voice resounded like thunder throughout the Wan Yao Sect, shaking the entire defense formation violently, as if it would be shattered at any time.

The Devouring Emperor straightened his neck and took the lead in flying out, followed closely by Kunpeng and others.

Duobao also contacted Tongtian as soon as possible, as he didn't want Emperor Shi to suffer any loss.

Enemies see eye to eye, and the Devouring Emperor confronted Yuanshi Tianzun directly. "Yuanshi, you're really hot on my trail! Do you know why I dare to wait for you here?"

"Hmm!" Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi both frowned, a hint of vigilance flashed in their eyes. Is there a trap?

"Why are you scared? I am the Formation-Devouring Beast, the nemesis of all formations in the world, and the ancestor of setting up large formations!" The Devouring Emperor smiled smugly, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Playing tricks!" Yuanshi Tianzun snorted in disbelief, "Are you trying to stall for time?"

"Hmph!" The Devouring Emperor snorted coldly, spreading his six wings and flapping them wildly. Mysterious runes rained down like a torrential rain, shaking the entire steep mountain surrounding the Ten Thousand Demons Gate.

"Here, the thousands of peaks are like blades, like millions of ancient divine swords hanging upside down, their sharp edges pointing straight to the sky. The steep rock walls are the sword ridges, and the layers of rock texture are like sword patterns, shining with a cold and chilling light amidst the swirling clouds and mist. Every peak exudes a breathtaking and murderous aura. This is a natural killing formation, a formation that can severely damage the Holy Emperor!"

Following the Devouring Emperor's words, mountains rose from the ground like razor-sharp swords. Controlled by the six wings, the sword tips aimed directly at Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi, unleashing a sword intent that could annihilate heaven and earth.

The two men instinctively retreated, simultaneously drawing their weapons and taking precautions. Taiqing Laozi held the Xuanhuang Pagoda above his head, causing it to vibrate slightly and cast rays of protective divine light. He was still haunted by the last blow from the Devil Snail Monkey's hammer, and he was deeply worried about another sneak attack.

"This formation is powerful, let's retreat first!" Taiqing Laozi said in a deep voice, with a hint of caution in his tone.

"Hmph! I don't believe you won't come out!" Yuanshi Tianzun didn't want to be hurt either, so he snorted coldly and flew away with the Pangu Banner.

"Want to run? No way!" The Devouring Emperor controlled these giant mountain swords and chased after him. The sword light cut through the void, cutting out cracks, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

"Attack together!" Yuanshi Tianzun roared and directly threw out the Pangu Banner, which turned the earth, wind, water and fire into the sword of law to meet the attack.

Taiqing Laozi shouted, "One Qi, Three Pure Ones!" A mysterious aura instantly emanated from him, transforming into three clones. These three clones simultaneously unleashed the suspended Heaven and Earth Pagoda to meet the oncoming giant sword. Drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, the Pagoda transformed into a towering tower, colliding with the immensely sharp sword.
