The smell of blood made the spirit beasts in the swamp even more excited. They quickly devoured the flesh and blood, leaving not even a trace.
Even though they were all tough men on the battlefield, their legs trembled uncontrollably at the sight of the man-eating beast.
Qi Yufeng frowned. He was indeed not interested in the throne, but the people who had just died, including the soldiers he had brought out, were all people who had shed blood with him on the battlefield!
He couldn't possibly disregard their lives!
"Run! Save all your strength for running! Run back to the capital, don't lose your lives!" Qi Yufeng shouted, and as a spirit beast pounced on him, he slashed down hard on the door with his sword.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the spirit beast's corpse fell back into the swamp. The other companions immediately rushed up and tore the spirit beast that Qi Yufeng had killed into their bellies.
The soldiers started running back, no one daring to hesitate any longer. They had never been so afraid of even the most powerful enemies on the battlefield. This spirit beast was truly terrifying!
Shangguan Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, but he ultimately turned and left with Qi Yufeng. He walked with an exceptionally leisurely pace, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and killed the spirit beast with a single blow when it charged at him.
Qi Yufeng noticed that Shangguan Xuan's mood was a bit off, but he didn't ask. Getting away from here was the most important thing.

Demon Realm.
Qingluan looked as if she had been pulled out of the water, her face pale and exhausted. She knelt on the ground, her feet pinned down by a large rock, unable to move.
He could only hang his upper body and gasp for breath.
Shi Youmi glanced at Qingluan and noticed that her wounds had healed. A beautiful smile, tinged with chilling coldness, appeared on her lips. "Your regenerative abilities are still so strong, so why should I have forced Jinheng to commit murder if you hadn't left in the first place?"
Upon hearing Shi Youmi mention "Master," Qingluan's bloodshot eyes widened. "You...despicable!"
"Smack!"
Liangyu slapped Qingluan hard across the face, turning her head to the side. "You wretch, how dare you insult the Madam?"
"Looks like you still haven't learned how to please me. I wonder, whose taste is sweeter, yours or that girl's?" Shi You said lewdly, her tongue sweeping across her lower lip, tinged with a bloodthirsty glint.
"You! Pfft..."
Qingluan was so enraged that she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Just as Shi Youmi was about to say something, she was interrupted by a servant who rushed in. The servant looked flustered and hurriedly said, "Madam, the Second Prince has arrived!"
What is he doing here at this time?
Shi Youmi narrowed her eyes slightly, "Liangyu, hide her away for me."
With a loud "boom," a hole was punched through the inner hall's wall, and a tall figure walked in first, followed by Ming Beiya and Zhuque.
Upon seeing the person covered in blood, as if pulled from the water, Chi Hu's eyes filled with gloom. "Master, Qing Luan, she..."
"Bring it back."
Ming Beiya spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping lightly over Shi Youmi. Suddenly, he raised his hand, and a powerful stream of air passed through Shi Youmi's abdomen.
"Pfft—"
Pain shot through her, and blood trickled from Shi Youmi's lips. She looked down at her abdomen, where a fist-sized hole had been torn open, dripping with blood.
Ming Beiya asked lazily, "You touched her?"
"I'd like to, but I'd need an opportunity to make my move," Shi Youmi chuckled. "Liangyu, help me back to my room."
