"I never expected that after all these years, you would still dare to disobey my orders." Yan Qi sneered. "I've raised you for so many years, even a dog would wag its tail by now. You're truly an ungrateful wretch!"

Yan Qi activated the contract, and a tyrannical power erupted from the Azure Dragon's body.

Jun Liuyue was forced to retreat by the force, and when she looked up again, the Azure Dragon's eyes had turned blood red as it charged towards her.

The Azure Dragon's strength is equivalent to that of a Profound Saint!

Boom! The fireball slammed into the Taotie's body.

"Hahaha!" Yan Qi laughed loudly, "Kill her!"

His eyes were full of smug cunning; he loved watching people kill each other!

Azure Dragon's eyes briefly regained their clarity.

"Walk--!"

A deep female voice rang in Jun Liuyue's ears. Suppressing her pain, she roared, "Go! Go!"

Jun Liuyue then realized that the sound was coming from the Azure Dragon.

Jun Liuyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, stepping onto the Taotie's shoulder to avoid the fireball spewed out by the Azure Dragon.

Just when Yan Qi thought Jun Liuyue was about to clash with Qinglong, the red figure suddenly changed direction, moving so fast that it left a blur behind.

boom!

When Yan Qi caught sight of Jun Liuyue again, she had already appeared above the temple, pouring all her power into it and slamming it towards the top of the temple—bang!

A single sword strike, thunderous and powerful, pierces the nine provinces!

"stop!!"

Yan Qi hadn't expected Jun Liuyue to attack the temple. This single sword strike was enough to raze the temple to the ground. His previously confident mood turned to utter panic, but it was too late to stop it.

Rumble—!

The towering building collapsed in an instant, Yan Qi's veins throbbed wildly, until the statue of the Demon King was exposed to the air, completely intact—

"A demon...a monster!"

The elders were shocked and turned to look at Yan Qi. Why was a demon enshrined in the temple? Even if it was just a stone statue…

Demons and monsters are rampant on the mainland now.

They've become terrified of even the slightest mention of demons and monsters.

"Venerable Yanqi, why is there a stone statue of a demon enshrined in the temple?" Jun Liuyue, carrying the Heaven-Asking Sword, slowly emerged from the ruins and looked at Yanqi. "Because the demons on the continent today are all your doing! You intended to destroy Canglan and make it your stepping stone! Venerable Yanqi, do you agree with what I'm saying?"

The girl's voice was strong and clear, reaching everyone's ears.

"As for the disciples you sent to the temple for training, they were all fed to the demons of the sealed land. They were all transformed into mindless puppets by the demonic poison!"

"Ha, alarmist talk." Yan Qi laughed instead of getting angry. "Little girl, I underestimated you again. Your ability to spread rumors is as astonishing as your cultivation level."

"Whether this is alarmist or not, you elders should know the answer in your hearts." With a cold gaze sweeping over the elders, Liu Yue slowly took two steps forward: "Your descendants were sent into the temple under the guise of training and advancement, but in reality, none of them survived. You deceive yourselves by telling yourselves that they all ascended, but—if they could ascend, why would the dignified Venerable of Heavenly Realm Island go to such lengths to obtain the Divine Beast Jade and open the intercontinental teleportation channel?"

These words immediately put the doubts in the hearts of the elders into reality.

Over the years, none of the disciples they sent to the Divine Realm for training have come out alive.

Yan Qi curled his lips into a smile, his devilish face revealing a twisted nature in that laugh. "Hehehe." He chuckled coldly.

"You are indeed very clever, but you are still a step too late! It was my oversight that I failed to transform you into a puppet in the sealed land."

Yan Qi simply stopped pretending.

Just then, the stone statue, which had been as still as stone, was enveloped by a black aura.

Immediately afterwards—

A giant claw emerged from the ground.

A colossal beast emerged into the air, its body shrouded in black aura, and its long claws slammed fiercely towards Jun Liuyue.

Roar! Before Jun Liuyue could make a move, a blue shadow flashed in her eyes, and then—her body was lifted up by the tail of the blue dragon.

It quickly disappeared into the horizon.

"Catch up with her and devour her."

Yan Qi gave the order, and the seemingly clumsy behemoth charged out like an arrow.

The elders were so shocked by the huge commotion that they fell to the ground.

But the shock before their eyes was far less than the shock in their hearts; their faith collapsed completely at that moment!

The revered one they had been following was actually the creator of the demons!

"Stop it."

The Grand Elder rebuked, "If this demon king were to leave Heavenly Realm Island, the entire continent would likely become a living hell!"

At this moment, the elders reached an unprecedented consensus: they absolutely could not allow this monster to leave Heavenly Realm Island.

Yan Qi never expected that these old fogies would choose to oppose him.

"Oh--"

Yan Qi sneered, "A bunch of overconfident old fools!"

——

Jun Liuyue was tightly wrapped by the dragon's tail, and the scenery in front of her flashed by at an extremely fast speed.

Where are you taking me?

Jun Liuyue did not resist, but she felt a little nauseous from being jostled around.

Using his spiritual power, he easily broke free from the Azure Dragon's tail and stepped onto its back.

The Azure Dragon twisted its body, still firmly protecting the girl beneath it.

The Azure Dragon led Jun Liuyue to a valley where the grass was lush and green, and the sound of flowing water could be heard.

A green dragon coiled above the stream.

He gently put Jun Liuyue down and turned to leave.

"etc."

Jun Liuyue called out to it, and even a fool could see that the Azure Dragon meant her no harm.
