"Speak properly, or else..."

A malicious smile flashed in Luo Jiu's eyes, and green vines extended from her fingertips, as if they were about to burrow into the Dream Eater's body.

Seeing this, the black mist shrank into a corner, trembling.

Who on earth did I mess with?! They're all so beautiful on the outside, but... vicious on the inside!

*Sob*

"Some time ago, the seal loosened. I flew to the border to take a look and found that someone was using magic to attack the seal. Taking advantage of that person's inattention, I crawled out through a small opening."

"Did you see clearly who wanted to break the seal?"

"No...no..."

"lie!"

Luo Jiu angrily rebuked, releasing a green light source from her hand that shone on the black mist, causing it to hiss and crackle, as if it were about to be corroded by the light.

“I really didn’t see what he looked like! But he’s a demon, he has ears, white fox ears.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Ze frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Could it be myself? Is the shadow inside my body causing trouble again?

"what else?"

Right now, the Dream Eater is terrified of Luo Jiu. This little girl can make you suffer to the point of death with just a few words and laughs.

You should think this through carefully.

Luo Jiu revealed her little tiger teeth, which melted everyone's hearts. However, the pair of faintly visible black wings on her back made the Dream Eater's heart tremble.

"Ahhh, no, no, no..."

"I'll talk, I'll talk..."

"Actually, I was deliberately released by that person."

The dream-eating beast curled up in a ball, its eyes filled with fear.

"That day, I was secretly pleased with my escape when he stopped me. I really didn't know what he looked like at the time."

The people present exchanged glances for a moment, signaling it to continue.

"That person was thin, but much taller than you."

The Dream Eater pointed at Luo Jiu and continued:

"He was wearing a black cloak and had his face enchanted, making him appear hazy. The only tell was that he was a fox demon, and his ears were not concealed."

"What did he ask you to do?"

Wen Zhaobai's expression hardened, and his gaze toward the Dream Eater became even more piercing.

"They just told me to come here and create chaos, and said nothing else."

The dream-eating beast pursed its lips, its eyes darting around, and its entire body floated up.

"Hey, I've confessed everything, can you let me go now... hehe..."

Just then, a series of rumbling sounds echoed across the previously silent earth, and a huge crack appeared in the open ground not far away. The sudden earthquake swept in with the force of a collapsing building.

The once cloudless sky seemed to have been torn apart, and a blood-red hue appeared in the west.

"This is bad. That mysterious person's intention is probably to buy time."

Wen Zhaobai gripped the sword beneath him tightly, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

"The West is where the Demon King is sealed, and he wants to release him."

Thinking of this, Yan Ze summoned his sword, which transformed into a streak of light and headed west.

Yan Ze left, leaving a group of disciples looking at each other in bewilderment.

With a solemn expression, Wen Zhaobai instructed his disciples to return to the Xiuyun Immortal Sect to inform the cultivation world of this matter. After speaking, he also used his sword control technique to chase after them.

Luo Jiu had followed secretly, knowing that if she made a fuss, she would be taken back to the cultivation world just like Xue Qing.

The further west you go, the more it feels like entering a barren desert, with nothing but yellow earth and sand, devoid of any sign of life.

Soon, signs of a fight appeared before her eyes, and Luo Jiu hurriedly ran over, thinking that they had arrived at the Demon Realm.

It was a castle built on ruins, constructed from piles of black charred tiles. Black smoke billowed from within, as if a fierce battle had just taken place, with blood staining the ground and the sky, instantly sending a chill down one's spine.

Luo Jiu exchanged a bottle of potion with the system, which allowed her to quickly sense Yan Ze's location.

Following the black tiles and stone bricks, Luo Jiu walked further and further into the remote area. It was pitch black in front of her, and she could not see anything. Only the increasingly strong smell of blood filled her nose.

Soon, the sounds of clashing swords and spears came from ahead, startling Luo Jiu so much that she disregarded everything and ran forward immediately.

A sliver of light shone through the darkness, and when Luo Jiu could see it clearly, she saw two figures, one in black and one in white, locked in combat.

The one dressed in black was Yan Ze, who held a long sword, its entire body gleaming gold, horizontally in front of his chest, blocking the attacker's attack. He then launched an even more ferocious attack on his opponent.

In a flash, they fought fiercely.

Luo Jiu dared not call out to him lest he be distracted, and hid behind the wall, constantly keeping an eye on his movements.

In the end, Yan Ze gained the upper hand. He knocked the man against the wall, his huge tail drooping to the ground, and he spat out several mouthfuls of bloody saliva.

"Master!"

Seeing that the war was over, Luo Jiu ran over and was just in time to see the full appearance of the fox demon.

"noob?"

Luo Jiu was shocked, her face filled with disbelief.

The white-clad youth had a bewitching appearance, but his expression was no longer as innocent and harmless as before. He stuck out his tongue to lick the wound on his claws, and his eyes flickered with an expression that Luo Jiu could not understand.

"Sister."

The boy murmured, then gave an embarrassed smile, just like the innocent and harmless boy she had known before.

"I'm so sorry to have shown you how disheveled I am."

Why are you here?

Luo Jiu unconsciously wanted to approach, but was pulled back by Yan Ze beside her.

"He wants to break the seal."

"Yan Ze? He's really annoying!"

Xiao Bai left those words and pressed a stone brick on a nearby wall. The two watched as a disc appeared in front of them.

Ancient characters were carved on the stone slab, obscure and difficult to understand. Around them, countless cracks, like a spiderweb, had appeared in the stone.

Each vein flowed with blood, converging into a stream that flowed towards the center of the stone slab. Wherever the blood flowed, the runes were soaked and lit up, releasing a surge of malevolent energy.

"Oh no, it's a reincarnation array!"

At this moment, Wen Zhaobai rushed over and, seeing the situation, was alarmed.

"Reincarnation Array?"

"He didn't want to release the Demon King at all. He just wanted to break the seal, bury the array inside the Demon King's body, and continuously absorb his magic power! Once the array was complete, he would possess all of the Demon King's magic power and become the new Demon King!"

Seeing that the fox demon's eyes were already red and his bones and muscles were beginning to swell, Wen Zhaobai was stunned and murmured:

"It might even be... more powerful..."

Is there any way?

"Destroy the magic array!"

After speaking calmly, Yan Ze picked up his sword and rushed toward the stone slab.

"Ha, it's too late!"

The fox demon Xiaobai held a dagger in her hand and, without saying a word, plunged it into her chest, causing blood to gush out.

A continuous flow of blood surged into the center, and in an instant, a flash of blood light appeared, and Yan Ze was knocked to the ground.

The reincarnation array is complete!
