“Father…” Nalan Cheng hesitated, thinking that if it weren’t for their interference back then, perhaps none of this would have happened.

But it was all too late; the past was past and could never be undone.

——

Boom! A thunderclap exploded above the Alchemy Sect, and a black aura shot down from the sky, instantly splitting the plaza in two.

A terrifying killing intent! Rumble—a giant claw stepped onto the plaza of the Alchemy Sect.

"What...what is that thing?!"

The direction of the main campus.

The disciples all came out, and a second later, the courtyard collapsed! The ground cracked rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This turned the once peaceful Alchemy Sect upside down!

Screams and wails echoed from all directions.

When the disciples finally saw the giant black shadow, they felt a chill run down their spines... What was that thing?

At this moment, the guards from the Alchemy Sect stepped forward.

It summoned the beast soul and blocked the demon king, but it was just a sweeping attack!

The guards were swept away, blood flowing all over the ground. Only then did everyone see that there was a person standing on top of the monster. Then... the demon appeared before everyone's eyes.

The demonic beasts appeared from all directions and instantly surrounded the entire Alchemy Sect.

The cracks in the square widened into abysses at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Even Qi Xia was seeing such a scene for the first time, but the next second... a powerful burst of spiritual energy erupted from the crack.

What's going on?

At Yan Qi's command, the Demon King leaped into the abyss!

The disciples of the Alchemy Sect were held back by the demon, and the sounds of fighting rose and fell, but their cultivation was no match for the demon! They were quickly defeated, and some disciples were even poisoned by the demon.

On the verge of death!

The night wind blows, and the stench of blood fills the air!

Rumble—before anyone could even figure out what was happening!

The sound seemed to come from deep underground, and under the bright moonlight, the monstrous beast crawled out of the abyss.

"Hahaha!"

Yan Qi laughed wildly, holding a huge purple crystal in his hand, which was filled with boundless spiritual energy. The moment the purple crystal appeared...

All the cultivators felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy, which was hundreds of times more abundant than the spiritual energy in the ordinary air!

What is that? The disciples all stopped their attacks and stared at Yan Qi in surprise.

Whoosh! More and more demonic beasts appeared.

With many dead and wounded, the disciples of the Alchemy Sect were soon unable to withstand the onslaught and retreated into the defensive circle, but the defensive array could not hold out for long either.

"Ha, a bunch of ants!"

Yan Qi's eyes were filled with a wild smile. This day had finally arrived. He would soon be able to leave this wretched place. As for what would happen to this continent afterward, that would be none of his concern!

Yan Qi's smile grew increasingly ferocious and twisted as he summoned the Divine Beast Jade.

"It's a bit too early to be laughing so arrogantly." A blood-red figure stepped through the air, a long sword even faster than her, rushing towards Yan Qi's direction.

Clang! The Heaven-Asking Sword let out a mournful cry, knocking the purple crystal away.

Yan Qi was surprised to find that Jun Liuyue was still alive.

The bomb he detonated was enough to destroy the entire Heavenly Realm Island! Even if this demoness wasn't killed by the explosion, she should have been devoured by a sea monster; in short... she shouldn't be alive!

The crystal was knocked away and rolled into the abyss. Yan Qi tried to grab it, but an invisible spiritual force blocked his way, just like a giant hand slapping hard at his chest!

Yan Qi's body fell from the sky, but he reacted quickly, grabbing the Demon King's hair and leaping back onto the Demon King's back.

The crystal had already fallen into the abyss. Yan Qi was furious and turned to the girl in red under the night sky. Her skirt was stained with blood and fluttered in the wind, stirring up a strong smell of blood.

Not only did she not die, but her strength seems to have increased even more!

"Liuyue!"

Below, Qi Xia recognized Jun Liuyue at a glance and was amazed.

"You brat, do you really have to go against me?"

Yan Qi coldly stared at the girl not far away.

If it weren't for this brat, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble!

If I had known... I should have strangled that brat the moment I found out she existed!

Under the moonlight.

The Heaven-Asking Sword returned to Liu Yue's hands. Her face was cold, and her whole body was filled with murderous intent.

Yan Qi said, "If you are willing to cooperate with me, I am willing to share resources with you. What do you say?"

Yanqi offered what he considered an irresistible offer.

Looking across the entire Canglan, only this brat could block his path!

If this girl is willing to cooperate with him, he will save himself a lot of trouble.

However, Yan Qi still wanted to kill Jun Liuyue, a plan he had been plotting for many years.

Sharing with Jun Liuyue?! This brat is getting an incredible bargain.

"Letting me go isn't impossible," Jun Liuyue scoffed.

"unless……"

"Unless what?"

"You die."

The girl's voice was clear and crisp, and her beautiful face was full of smiles, but what she said made Yan Qi furious. Was this brat determined to go against him?

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Yan Qi sneered, and then several demons attacked Jun Liuyue together, their killing intent surging forth. A gentle breeze lifted the girl's black hair as she stood tall.

Several demons surrounded Jun Liuyue and attacked her all at once.

Liu Yue leaped into the air, not even glancing at the demon rushing towards her. With a flick of her wrist, the Fuxi Qin appeared in her palm.
