"General Yuwen is dead."

"The old lord is dead."

The people of the Yuwen and Dugu clans stared in panic at the blood mist and the severed limbs scattered everywhere.

Without a leader, they didn't know what to do.

Zhu Yuyan shouted, "What are you afraid of? I am still here. Everyone must obey my orders."

Fan Qinghui raised her whisk and continued to fight with Zhu Yuyan, mocking, "Empress Yin, your power is gone, why don't you retreat quickly?"

Zhu Yuyan said proudly, "Do you think you can kill me? I alone am enough to stand against your Cihang Jingzhai."

"Really? Then what about including me?" Lin Bufan chimed in.

A terrifying aura emanated from his entire body, making Zhu Yuyan's heart pound with fear.

Impressive, this kid is indeed no ordinary expert.

Looking further into the distance, the ground was a river of blood; at least fifty experts had died at Lin Bufan's hands.

Even the bodies of Yuwen Huaji and You Chuhong could not be preserved intact; their tragic state was indescribable.

"The Empress is so beautiful, but unfortunately, I, Lin, am going to destroy her beauty."

Lin Bufan revealed a ferocious expression and activated the Undying Seal Technique.

Zhu Yuyan finally panicked; she couldn't die here.

He quickly used his superb lightness skill to retreat, shouting to everyone in the Demonic Sect, "Retreat!"

Seeing their army collapse and their situation hopeless, the four major forces hastily retreated.

Before the Yin Gui Sect retreated, Demon Commander Zhao Deyan had already retreated, running faster than anyone else.

"Trying to run? I'll chase you." Lin Bufan was going to pursue and kill Zhu Yuyan.

Shi Zhixuan ran over from the mourning hall, shouting, "The He Shi Bi has been stolen! Wanwan has stolen the He Shi Bi!"

What?! The He Shi Bi jade was stolen?!

Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan became anxious.

That was Master Isshin's treasure.

When Master Yixin was alive, he never parted with the He Shi Bi jade.

Even when he died, people followed his last wish and buried him with the He Shi Bi jade.

Today he died, and not only was his mourning hall disturbed, but the He Shi Bi jade was also stolen by a demoness. How can Master Yixin rest in peace?

"We must retrieve the He Shi Bi jade." Fan Qinghui asked Shi Zhixuan, "Which way did Wanwan run off to?"

Shi Zhixuan pointed in a direction, and Lin Bufan immediately ran off, saying, "I'll go after them."

Ten miles east of Cihang Jingzhai, in a dense bamboo forest, Wanwan was leading a group of Yin Gui Sect members in a retreat.

She and her master, Zhu Yuyan, separated and retreated in two groups, with each of them leading a portion of their subordinates and disciples.

At this moment, Wanwan had no idea what her master's situation was or where he had escaped to.

I hope Master is alright and can safely return to the Yin Gui Sect to reunite.

As they were fleeing, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them—the Demon Commander, Zhao Deyan.

"Zhao Deyan, how come you were ahead of us?"

Wanwan's unspoken message was: You run really fast; my master hadn't even given the order to retreat before you started running.

Zhao Deyan didn't mind Wanwan mocking him at all; he was used to being ridiculed.

Shi Zhixuan used to mock him, and later Zhu Yuyan mocked him.

He didn't care at all; he was naturally shameless, and ridicule couldn't cause him any real harm.

"Miss Wanwan, the He Shi Bi jade is in your hands, isn't it?"

Zhao Deyan grinned maliciously, his smile particularly unsightly.

His demeanor was particularly licentious and lewd as he approached Wanwan step by step.

Wanwan saw through his ulterior motives and said, "Isn't the He Shi Bi jade in Master Yixin's coffin?"

"That's right, you went to steal and rob, and Shi Zhixuan's martial arts skills have greatly decreased, so he can't stop you."

"Who told you that? It's completely unfounded."

"Stop making excuses. I heard everything clearly before I ran away. The He Shi Bi is on you."

"What...what do you want?"

Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine, having already guessed Zhao Deyan's intentions: he definitely wanted to seize the He Shi Bi jade.

Zhao Deyan, a legendary demon general, may not be able to defeat Lin Bufan, but he is still a master of the Heavenly Realm.

Wanwan is not even at the peak of the Earth Realm yet, the gap between the two is huge.

I can't beat them, even if all my dozens of men attacked together, I still couldn't win. I should just run.

"Withdraw!"

Wanwan cried out and turned to run away.

"Trying to run? No way."

Zhao Deyan chased after them, killing as he went.

With a whoosh, they killed almost one person every ten steps, leaving a trail of blood all the way.

By the time they caught up with Wanwan, all of her disciples and subordinates had already been killed.

The people of the Yin Gui Sect are not from his Demonic Appearance Sect, so it's no pity if they die.

"Now, can you hand over the He Shi Bi jade?"

Zhao Deyan grabbed Wanwan and asked with a cold laugh.

Wanwan swayed her delicate body, trying her best to break free.

They couldn't break free; the difference in strength was simply too great.

Even if you try to use charm or illusion magic to subdue Zhao Deyan, you won't succeed.

Zhao Deyan is the Demon General, the leader of the Demonic Sect, second only to the Empress Yin and the Evil King. No illusions from any junior are effective against him.

"You dare to show off your petty skills in front of me? You're asking for a beating."

Snap!

He slapped Wanwan hard across the face, making her behave.

Even the aftershock of the slap tore a large section of Wanwan's clothes below her neck, revealing her snow-white, smooth skin.

“Beautiful, so beautiful, not at all inferior to your master.”

Zhao Deyan licked his lips, his mind gradually twisting.

"If I can't have your master, having you as my disciple is not bad either. As the saying goes, what your master owes me, you, my disciple, will repay. Hehehe."

Having said that, he was about to kiss Wanwan's snow-white skin and swan-like neck.

Wanwan was so anxious she wanted to cry. She used her delicate hands to forcefully pry open Zhao Deyan's mouth, preventing him from touching her lips.

"Master, Master, where are you? Please come and save your disciple!"

Instead of calling his master, he called his enemy.

Lin Bufan finally arrived and saw Zhao Deyan about to take advantage of Wanwan. He used a Dragon-Capturing Skill to pull Zhao Deyan towards him.

"It's one thing to steal the He Shi Bi jade, but to also steal a young girl is disrespectful to elders and deserves to die."

A large hand grabbed Zhao Deyan's neck.
