Immediately afterwards, the black mist surged violently, and several streams of demonic energy emanated from it, like dark tentacles, directly attacking the Chu family and their guards.
Before the guards could even get close to the demonic energy, the black energy pierced through their chests, killing them instantly.
Although Chu was exceptionally skilled and dodged the fatal blows, she was still sent flying when struck by the demonic energy, spitting out mouthfuls of blood upon landing...
"Lan'er..."
"mother!"
"younger sister……"
In an instant, Old Madam Chu, Chu's two elder brothers, three sisters-in-law, Chu Wenyu, and Chu Wenze all rushed into the wedding hall, disregarding their own safety.
Chu Wanwan's heart tightened when she saw her mother land, but she didn't run over. Instead, she made hand seals and chanted incantations.
A bright light burst forth from Sheng Wanwan's body, shooting straight into the black mist.
Wherever the light passed, the black mist seemed to be scorched and gradually dissipated, revealing a tall man who was easily over 1.8 meters tall.
The man was dressed in a jet-black robe, embroidered with intricate dark patterns, which made him appear mysterious and majestic. His face was like a finely crafted work of art, and his deep-set eyes were as unfathomable as a cold pool, gleaming with a chilling and sharp light.
His skin had an unusually pale color, but this did not diminish his charm; instead, it added a touch of mystery and nobility.
"Heh! Little one, you're not bad! But you're still too young to be a match for me! I'm not one to bully the weak. Come find me again when you've got the skills!"
After the man finished speaking, he disappeared without waiting for Chu Wanwan's response, along with Chu Wenjin and Si Rouxue.
Chu Wanwan stood frozen in place, staring in the direction the man had disappeared, her heart filled with helplessness. Her strength seemed so insignificant in front of that man, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of defeat.
It turns out she really is quite weak...
"Wanwan! Are you alright?" Old Madam Chu's voice rang in her ears. Chu Wanwan snapped out of her daze and looked at her worried family.
"I'm fine," Chu Wanwan said, trying to appear calm. She turned around, suppressing the dizziness in her body.
She exhausted her spiritual power, but could only disperse the mist surrounding the man.
That man was really powerful…
"Wanwan, you couldn't beat that man either?" Madam Chu struggled to sit up, her eyes filled with expectation as she looked at Chu Wanwan. If even Wanwan couldn't handle that man, then her son probably had no hope.
Chu Wanwan took a deep breath, "Mother! I can't beat him, but it's not like there's no way to save my brother and sister-in-law. Mother knows my secret, I can go and steal my brother and sister-in-law back!"
As Chu Wanwan spoke, she approached Chu Shi, took out a healing pill from her spatial storage, and fed it to Chu Shi.
"Then Mother will go with you..."
Madam Chu swallowed the pill and said, "I want to save my son, but I don't feel comfortable letting my daughter take the risk."
“Mother, although your martial arts are superb, the power of the demon race is not something ordinary people can withstand. If you go with me, I will have to go to great lengths to protect you, which will put me in danger!”
"Don't worry, although I can't beat the Demon Lord, my abilities are such that the Demon Lord can't hurt me either..." Chu Wanwan said casually.
In fact, she could sense that the Demon Lord's power was equivalent to that of an immortal. She didn't know if an immortal's power could break through the spatial barrier and capture her, but she had to give her mother hope. Otherwise, given her mother's personality, she would definitely follow him regardless of the consequences.
When Chu heard Chu Wanwan's words, although she was full of worry, she knew that what she said made sense.
She grasped Chu Wanwan's hand, her eyes shining with determination. "Wanwan, you must be careful. If you can't save your brother and the others, just come back! Don't force yourself!"
As she spoke, Madam Chu hugged her youngest daughter tightly. Her daughter was so young, yet she had to endure so much. She felt utterly useless.
Chu Wanwan nodded and gave Chu Shi a reassuring smile. "Mother, don't worry, I won't be stubborn."
"Wanwan! Your grandmother's own granddaughter! Please be careful and come back safely!"
Old Madam Chu looked at Chu Wanwan with pity, her eyes brimming with tears. Everyone else also looked at Chu Wanwan with concern.
"Yes! Don't worry, Grandmother!"
"Don't worry everyone, Wanwan will come back safely!"
Chu Wanwan stood up and walked outside.
Once outside, she released Da Bai, sat directly on its back, waved to her family behind her, and then headed north.
She had already guessed who the man was; it must be the Demon Lord her elder brother had mentioned.
Her attack on the Demon Lord may not have caused any real damage, but in fact, she used her spiritual power to imprint a divine tracking talisman on the Demon Lord's body.
This tracking talisman doesn't consume much spiritual energy, but it's very powerful.
It can track all targets marked by the divine talisman from thousands of miles away, and only the caster can sense the location of the talisman, so Chu Wanwan is not worried that the Demon Lord will find out.
Big White carried Chu Wanwan at a rapid pace. Chu Wanwan closed her eyes and began to sense the location of the tracking talisman. In her perception, the tracking talisman was moving rapidly, indicating that the Demon Lord was leading Chu Wenjin and Si Rouxue forward.
However, their speed was several times that of Da Bai, making it impossible for them to catch up with the Demon Lord. But Chu Wanwan didn't intend to chase after them; she simply wanted to know where they ended up!
She hadn't originally intended to confront them directly; instead, she wanted to steal her older brother and sister-in-law back.
After a day of pursuit, Chu Wanwan sensed that the Demon Lord had finally stopped. She realized that he had stopped in the territory of Penglai Immortal Mountain.
Chu Wanwan frowned. At Da Bai's speed, it would take at least ten days to half a month to reach Penglai Immortal Mountain. If the Demon Lord attacked her elder brother and the others during this time, she would not have time to rescue them. What should she do?
Seeing Chu Wanwan's worried expression, Feng Que suddenly spoke:
"I have a way to quickly reach Mount Penglai!"
"What method?" Chu Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard Feng Que say that.
"Don't you have a healing elixir in your space? Give it to me, and my strength should be restored to about 70-80%! Our Phoenix Clan is very fast; once I've recovered my strength, I guarantee I'll arrive the next day!"
Feng Que patted his chest and assured him.
"Okay!" Chu Wanwan said, and with a thought, she took the small porcelain bottle containing the divine healing medicine and threw it directly to Feng Que.
"This... so easy? Aren't you going to reconsider?" Feng Que swallowed hard. This was a divine-grade pill! It had wanted to ask for it for a long time, but it just felt that its young master definitely wouldn't give it to it. After all, it was a divine-grade pill, a pill refined by an extinct god!
"Stop talking nonsense! Eat up, I need to go save my older brother and sister-in-law!"
Chu Wanwan said somewhat impatiently.
"Okay! I'll eat it right now!" Feng Que said excitedly, throwing the pill directly into his mouth...
