Ye Qing was initially confused, but after being slapped several times, he got angry, and the two of them started fighting for no reason. It was only after the girl forcibly separated them that the fight ended.
"Ye Qing, what's wrong with you?"
The girl's clear voice questioned, even though she was walking in front, she knew what had happened, why did she hit someone for no reason.
Ye Qing felt wronged. How would he know? But facing his senior sister's gaze, he could only honestly confess, "I don't know, my hand just suddenly went out of control!"
Liu Shang, who was slapped for no reason, felt that Ye Qing was being unreasonable and still wouldn't behave. So he said angrily, "Ye Qing, you're something else. I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time. If you're so capable, come and fight me in the life-or-death arena!"
Ye Qing was also furious, and said defiantly, "Fine, let's go! Who's afraid of who!"
The girl frowned and squinted, saying, "Ye Qing, this time it's your fault. You should compensate Liu Shang with one thousand magic crystals. Master is still waiting for us, so don't waste any more time!"
Ye Qing responded with a wronged tone. He felt incredibly aggrieved. It was clearly his hand that was out of control, but no one believed him. He checked his body to make sure he was okay, but found nothing wrong. So he couldn't help but wonder if his determination to hit Liu Shang was so strong that his body was out of control.
Ye Sisi and the others hitched a ride into the true area of the Holy Demon Palace. Apart from the barrier at the mountain gate, the defenses inside were relatively loose.
Like the Heavenly Spirit Sect, the Holy Demon Palace also has many mountains, but these mountains are all surrounded by black mist, looking lifeless and not giving people any mood to appreciate the scenery. Of course, for Ye Sisi and the others, there is no scenery at all.
After feeling himself pass through the barrier, Little Fatty found a relatively secluded spot to stop, but this time only Su Jiuli came out.
He had invisibility and concealment talismans on his body, so he could move around quite freely. Moreover, even if there was any danger, he was still a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, which made him safer than others. In addition, the chances of him being exposed when he was alone were smaller.
He first tucked the chubby boy into his sleeve, and then headed towards the place where Ouyang Yanyu was being held, following the map given to him by Duanmu Xin.
Duanmu Xin was very meticulous; he drew the map in great detail, even clearly marking some inconspicuous paths.
After walking for a while, Su Jiuli saw a stone tablet standing not far away, with the two large blood-red characters "Forbidden Land" carved on it, which looked somewhat ferocious.
That's right, according to the map provided by Duanmu Xin, Ouyang Yanyu is currently in this forbidden area.
He had Little Fatty release Ye Shubai. Because there was a barrier in front of the forbidden area, they didn't care about being exposed. At worst, they could just rescue the person and fight their way out. The worst thing was that the person wasn't inside. It wasn't that he didn't trust Duanmu Xin, but it would be bad if Duanmu Xin's information was wrong!
Ye Shubai looked at the pale gray barrier in front of him, and after examining it carefully for a while, he picked up the Boundary-Breaking Brush. The barrier of the demon race was different from that of the cultivators. The energy that supported the operation of their formation was demonic energy, while he could only use spiritual power to forcibly break it, so it would inevitably attract the people of the Holy Demon Palace.
Now that things had come to this, Ye Shubai didn't hesitate any longer. The Boundary-Breaking Brush flew in his hand, and soon a large hole was broken in the barrier. The two of them stepped in together.
Now that they've all been exposed, there's no need for the others to stay in Little Fatty's space. Forbidden areas are obviously not simple places, and there's strength in numbers, right?
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find anyone for a while, but then I heard a strange chanting sound from afar. The sound was like a spell being chanted by a high priest in some kind of ritual.
The five disciples exchanged glances, all with a bad feeling. There was still more than a day before the Holy Maiden's blessing was to be bestowed. They hoped it wouldn't start early!
So, without bothering to carefully conceal their tracks, they all rushed over there as fast as they could, and from a great distance they saw a huge altar.
The altar was surrounded by a large open space filled with people dressed in strange costumes. Each person was prostrate in devotion, chanting incantations. There were two people on the altar, a man and a woman.
The man was an elderly man with a slightly hunched back, dressed in an elaborate robe. He wore a tall hat, and a finger bone necklace adorned his withered neck. In his right hand, he held a jet-black scepter.
The scepter was not inlaid with any magical gemstones, but with a human skull. Two clusters of eerie green flames danced in the skull's deep, dark pupils, making it look extremely sinister and eerie.
Not far behind the old man, a woman in a black robe was tied to a stone pillar. Blood-red spider lilies bloomed and entwined wildly on her skirt, as if to drag her into an endless abyss.
The woman had a perfect figure and stunning looks, especially her captivating peach blossom eyes that made it impossible to look away once you saw her. Who else could it be but Ouyang Yanyu!
Unlike her previous aloof and ethereal image in flowing white robes, Ouyang Yanyu now appeared extremely alluring. Her beautiful eyes were full of charm, and a bewitching red lotus was faintly visible between her brows, adding a touch of mystery to her allure. However, her face was unnaturally pale, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Ye Sisi and the others were stunned. They all thought they must be seeing things. This couldn't possibly be their aloof and ethereal senior sister and junior sister, the fairy-like Ouyang Yanyu who rarely showed any extra expression on her face. Could she have such a charming and alluring side? It was hard to even see her smile!
No matter how shocked or whether they believed it, the alluring woman who couldn't hide her charm even when bound was Ouyang Yanyu. Although her aura had changed, they, her fellow disciples who had been with her day and night, would not mistake the familiar fluctuations of spiritual energy.
What made Ye Sisi and the others' blood boil was that a huge pill furnace, about the height of two people, stood beside Ouyang Yanyu, with dark blue flames swirling and churning on it. It was obvious what she was going to do.
Just then, Ouyang Yanyu and Ye Sisi met each other's gazes. At the same time, the hunchbacked old man slammed his scepter down on the altar. The people who were prostrate on the ground straightened up and raised their hands above their heads. The old man slammed his scepter down again, and the people bowed down in unison. The scene was extremely bizarre.
In this incredibly eerie atmosphere, Ouyang Yanyu shook her head with tears in her eyes and mouthed four words—"Don't come any closer!"
