The demon is pure of heart, yet he is a grave absurdity.

"Wait, I..." The news came so suddenly that Huang Yanheng's mind went blank and her speech became incoherent. She stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Now that she knew where she was, and the palace owner had openly introduced himself, Huang Yanheng figured there was no danger. She originally intended to rest and recuperate, recover from her injuries, and then return to the Qingyun Sect to settle scores with Ji Xiaoxiao. But Yi Ming, always impulsive, suddenly had a brilliant idea, startling Huang Yanheng so much that she staggered and almost lost her footing.

Yi Ming frowned, then immediately ignored Huang Yanheng's strange gaze, his face beaming with excitement and joy. "Huang Yanheng, I saved you. Don't mortals often say that a life-saving grace can only be repaid with marriage? That's perfect, I like you, we'll get married in a couple of days, you should get ready."

Huang Yanheng looked at Yi Ming with pity and a strange expression in her eyes. No matter how handsome and stunning he was, he could not hide the restless, childlike heart of a child not yet ten years old beneath layers of disguise.

Yi Ming's idea was good, but his abilities were disproportionate to his strength. The seemingly effortless Yun defeated the aggressive Yi Ming in just a few moves with the skill of a True Immortal. The defeat was understandable; after all, everyone had witnessed Yun's True Immortal power, and Yi Ming's loss wasn't humiliating. However, to make matters worse, Yi Ming disregarded the limitations of his own strength during the battle and forcibly used forbidden demonic techniques, suffering a backlash that damaged his mind.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost.

At that time, Master Yun was already one of the top experts on the Tiancang Continent, and his Tribulation Transcending cultivation made Qingyun Sect the leader of the three major sects. A well-established Tribulation Transcending expert versus a fledgling Mahayana stage demon, who would win or lose? The outcome was already known before the battle even began.

Having reached the Great Ascension stage of perfect cultivation, perhaps due to a cultivation mishap leading to demonic possession, and for some unknown reason, Yi Ming actually came to the Chaoyun Hall of the Immortal Cloud Peak of the Qingyun Sect, making outrageous claims that he would defeat True Person Yun Yi despite being of a higher level.

Yi Ming is a powerful and capable individual who is extremely confident to the point of arrogance and looking down on everyone. Born into a noble family, he was born superior to others and had a smooth life for 150 years with few setbacks. Naturally, he honed his audacious and reckless "peerless skills".
