While a few foodies were happily indulging in the essence of the earth fire.

In a small village near the Cuiwei Snowfield, a young man about the same age as Shang Xiye and Hei Xiao suddenly widened his eyes and pushed Chen Ziyun away from him.

Chen Ziyun, who was enjoying herself, leaned closer again, her voice sweet and coquettish, and asked, "Brother Long, what's wrong? Have I not served you well?"

"Ninth Prince!" The young man's forehead veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth, slamming his fist heavily beside him: "I will fight you to the death!"

"Brother Long, didn't you lead several hundred people to follow and kill them? How come they escaped?" Chen Ziyun hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet, her hands wrapped around the young man like snakes.

"That vile Princess Chonghe used some kind of despicable poison to knock out all our people, and they were all wiped out," the young man said, his teeth clenched in fury.

He was too ashamed to tell Chen Ziyun the details of what happened; it was so embarrassing!

"What! A total wipeout!" Chen Ziyun stood up in shock, clinging to the young man and asking with concern, "Brother Long, what about your original body..."

"He was also killed by the Ninth Prince." The young man narrowed his eyes with hatred, his gaze like poison: "It's fortunate that you were smart enough to think that Shang Xiche's broken body was not suitable for you to be intimate with, so you let me split off a part of my soul to occupy this pretty boy's body, which saved my life. Otherwise, I would really be dead this time!"

That's right, this young man is the new physical body occupied by Meng Qi's divided soul.

"Brother Long, you can't get hurt. What will Dongyang and I do if something happens to you?" Chen Ziyun nestled back into Meng Qi's arms with heartfelt emotion.

Meng Qi was relieved to have escaped death, but more than anything, he felt remorse for his carelessness.

next time!

The Ninth Prince won't be so lucky next time!

If Meng Qi had been taken advantage of by the same person three or four times and still hadn't learned his lesson, then he was a pig and wouldn't have the face to see the Venerable One again!

Chen Ziyun asked softly, "Brother Long, what should we do now? Can you call upon those people in the Snow Mountain branch? And can you take their magic crystals to restore your strength first, and then offer the rest to His Majesty?"

"Of course I can. After all, I'm one of the Ten Great Demon Generals, so I have that kind of authority," Meng Qi replied with an air of superiority. Then his face fell, and he said, "However, judging from the toxicity of the poison Princess Chonghe used, most of the people in the branch altars will likely not escape unscathed and will probably be wiped out. Now I just hope they're just a bunch of bumpkins who won't discover the secret of the magic crystals, and that the new batch of magic crystals will be ready soon, so I can just pick them up. Otherwise, I'll have to spend a few more days going to other branch altars to get magic crystals to restore my strength."

"Then the Ninth Prince and Princess Chonghe..."

Before Chen Ziyun could finish her question, Meng Qi interrupted decisively, saying viciously, "Kill! Of course we must kill! I can no longer explain what happened in the capital to His Majesty. If I don't kill the Ninth Prince and the others, capture Princess Chonghe alive, and atone for my crimes, His Majesty will surely punish me severely! Not killing them will not quell the hatred in my heart!"

Chengdu.

Thanks to Shanyu Heye's timely intervention, Su Rujing's life was saved. After waking up, Su Rujing took the spiritual liquid left to her by Ji Fengyao, and finally her condition stabilized.

But Shang Beiyu and Xiao Jianzi had already taken the twins and gone far away.

With their combined cultivation levels, they couldn't possibly catch up with Shang Beiyu and Xiao Jianzi.

Shanyu Heye had no choice but to find Wushang and tell him to hurry up and find Ji Chenhai and Wuying Wuhen.
