Two demons turned around and saw Liu Lingying. They exchanged a glance, grinned at each other, and were about to rush towards her.
Seeing that something was wrong, Li Gan quickly raised his voice and said, "Two demon gods, please spare this woman and hand her over to this junior!"
The two demon gods glanced back at Li Gan. They had to give Li Gan some face, since he connected this world with the world within the Chi You Banner, and besides, Li Gan was a descendant of the Li family.
After hesitating for a moment, they looked at each other, nodded, bypassed Liu Lingying, and flew away into the distance with bursts of laughter.
As one of the demon gods passed by Yu Chen, he was surrounded by numerous flying swords and meteors, frantically using his blood-red seal to destroy the swarming attack. As the demon god flew past him, he casually released a ball of demonic energy that condensed into a foot-long spike, which rammed back and forth several times, instantly destroying the few remaining meteors and flying swords.
The white chaotic bead and the silver flying sword deftly dodged the demonic spikes, retreated, turned around, and quickly flew to Liu Lingying's side, hovering uncertainly in the air.
Yu Chen retrieved the crimson seal, turned around, and called out in the direction where the demon god had disappeared, "Junior Yu Chen thanks the demon god for his assistance!"
Liu Lingying watched with a grim expression as the eighty-one demon gods departed in all directions. Then she turned her gaze to Li Gan, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Yu Chen turned around and looked at Li Gan and Liu Lingying from afar. He saw Li Gan standing in the middle of a pile of ruins, and Liu Lingying standing on a small patch of flat ground below the ruins. The two of them were separated by a great distance and looked at each other in silence.
Yu Chen shook his head and sighed softly. After standing quietly for a long time, he turned around and walked away silently, leaving this quiet place to the two of them.
Just then, not far from Liu Lingying and Li Gan, separated by a cluster of ruins and dilapidated but still standing houses, demonic energy surged into the sky from all directions. This was followed by the screams of righteous disciples, the jubilant cheers of demons, and the arrogant laughter of demon gods.
These sounds faintly reached Liu Lingying's ears, causing her to frown deeply. She looked up and saw that the Chiyou Banner was still floating above Li Gan's head, fluttering in the wind.
"Li Gan!" Liu Lingying's gaze turned cold, her voice icy, and she shouted, "Summon these harmful demons back to the Chi You Banner and destroy it, or I will kill you today!"
Li Gan chuckled, took out a pill to replenish his magic power from his storage ring and ate it. He casually put his hands behind his back and said in a light voice, word by word, "No, possible."
The silver flying sword beside Liu Lingying began to emit a dazzling light. She looked at Li Gan with complicated emotions, gritted her teeth, and said in a deep voice, "Then, let's settle things today!"
Li Gan surveyed the surrounding ruins and the raging flames that had merged into one in the distance. Then he looked at Liu Lingying, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said calmly, "To defeat my demon race, the righteous dogs didn't hesitate to use the Thunderfire Tribulation, completely disregarding the calamity this would inevitably cause on the world, and the harm it would inflict on the people you care about most! Is such a bunch of outwardly impressive but inwardly rotten bastards really worth your protection? Their deaths will only cleanse this world!"
Liu Lingying fell silent. She looked at a raging fire in the distance, feeling the turbulent spiritual energy of heaven and earth around her, and remained speechless.
Liu Lingying remained silent, and Li Gan waited quietly, secretly hoping that she would understand the hypocrisy and cunning of these so-called righteous disciples, and that she would change her mind and fight alongside him.
Only then would he be truly happy; otherwise, if she remained his enemy, what would be the point of him gaining the world?
