The two hot-blooded men remained unmoved by what they saw.
For Nangong Ruichen, Luanying was the culprit who caused his sister's suffering. For Tian Haoze, those who betray the Netherworld Palace have only one fate: death, because he deeply understood the detestability of betrayal.
"Come out!"
Tian Haoze glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly, a masked man in black appeared in front of Tian Haoze.
He glanced quickly at the phoenix shadow on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Tian."
"Wandering Soul, you already knew what Luanying had done, yet you failed to report it truthfully. What is your punishment?"
Tian Haoze asked in a cold voice.
"I leave it to the Heavenly Prince to decide; the wandering soul has nothing to say."
The wandering spirit lowered his head with a heavy heart, but his eyes kept glancing at the dead Luan Ying. Waves of pain washed over him, making him much more aware of his surroundings.
"Wandering Soul, I will spare you this time out of consideration for what is understandable. Go back to the South China Sea Crystal Palace and protect the Shennong Scripture!"
Tian Haoze knew that Youhun had always liked Luanying, but Luanying had never seen him. He could understand his tolerance towards Luanying.
"Thank you, Young Master Tian!"
The wandering spirit rose, picked up Luan Ying's corpse, and quickly disappeared into the night.
"Ruichen, let's go back! Now we can go find Jingqi in peace. Maybe we'll get news from Nongying."
Tian Haoze knew what Nangong Ruichen was worried about.
"Um!"
Nangong Ruichen nodded, and the two quickly disappeared into the woods.
As dawn broke, Nangong Ziyan slept fitfully, her restless sleep haunted by a night of nightmares, and she kept muttering in her sleep.
"Second brother... second brother..." Nangong Jingqi's figure appeared in her dream, constantly calling for help. Watching her second brother fall into the deep water, she couldn't get up no matter what.
The loud splash jolted Nangong Ziyan awake.
"Second brother..."
Nangong Ziyan suddenly sat up in bed, her forehead covered in sweat, panting heavily.
"Second Brother." Nangong Ziyan quickly got out of bed. She had a bad feeling. Something must have happened to her second brother. He would never disappear without a word.
Before Nangong Ziyan could even finish dressing, a hidden weapon grazed past her and landed firmly on the frame of her dressing table, on which was a note.
Nangong Ziyan quickly dressed, walked to the dressing table, and looked at the words on it.
"Nangong Ziyan, if you want to save Nangong Jingqi's life, you must exchange it for the Seven Eternal Jade. This matter must not be told to anyone, otherwise Nangong Jingqi's life will be in danger."
Nangong Ziyan glanced at the end and whispered, "The address is the Cliff of Heartbreak on the Netherworld Continent. Cliff of Heartbreak?" Nangong Ziyan pondered for a moment. Wasn't that the Cliff of Heartbreak on the border of the Netherworld Continent? How could her second brother have been captured there? Nangong Ziyan didn't have time to think further. She summoned the Azure Phoenix and headed straight for the Cliff of Heartbreak...
In Wuguzi's room, Dongfang Yifei had arrived early.
When Wuguzi saw Dongfang Yifei, he was stunned for a moment. He noticed that there was already a fire-shaped mark on Dongfang Yifei's forehead.
"It seems you've been making the most of your time to cultivate lately. Your Demon Subduing Instantaneous Technique has reached a level of perfection. Your master was right about you."
Wuguzi was dressed in a white robe, with his long black hair tied up on top of his head, giving him a somewhat masculine air.
There's a saying: "The ends justify the means." But how will you know you can't do something if you don't even try?
Dongfang Yifei was dressed entirely in black, with no other color visible on his body. His hair had been casually hanging down his back lately, and his every move exuded an air of evil. When his face was gloomy, the murderous aura emanating from him became even more intense.
“Now Bei Ming Haotian is on our side, but I’m still not at ease. After all, Bei Ming Haotian’s will is too strong, and we don’t know how long the Mandarin Duck Gu can control him. We still need to find an opportunity to kill him.”
Wuguzi got up, walked to the window, gazed longingly outside, and put his hands behind his back.
"I know what to do without you having to tell me. I crave anything I want, because that craving creates a force that will make me do whatever it takes to get it."
Dongfang Yifei clenched his fist and said resolutely that all he wanted to do now was to prove to Nangong Ziyan that he could have everything that Beiming Haotian could have. She wanted him to know that her fiancé was not as incompetent as she thought.
Upon hearing this, Wuguzi's eyes darkened, and he turned to look at Dongfang Yifei, saying, "You really are like your master. Your master, like you, never gives up on what he likes."
“I don’t want to remember my past life, but the nightmares of many nights have made me know a lot about the past. Ling Ziyan was once the woman I, Wu Yifei, loved the most, and she was also the woman I destroyed with my own hands.”
Dongfang Yifei grinned wickedly. Fate is such a mysterious thing. In this life, Nangong Ziyan still couldn't escape his control.
"Since you've remembered, there's no need for me to say anything more."
Wu Gu Zi gave him a meaningful look. He probably didn't remember what Ling Zi Yan said when he ruined her life! They were destined to be together but not to stay together in this life. Wu Gu Zi felt helpless about Dongfang Yi Fei's obsession, but that was fate. Their destinies were intertwined, and the one who laughed last was the one who changed their destiny.
"Go back to your cultivation! You need to seize the time to cultivate. Tian Haoze isn't stupid; he'll soon discover something's amiss."
