Chapter 325 The Evil Lord is Heartbroken, Xiao Xu Comes to His Aid
"Bang—!"
Yan Xiao unleashed a powerful magic seal upon the ruins, causing Xin Hun Yin to dodge in a disheveled state. He shook his robes, glanced at the teleportation array in the distance, and had a bad feeling.
In fact, she had long intended to leave, but Yan Xiao kept pestering her, which gave her a real headache.
"How laughable." Xin Hunyin looked at Yan Xiao in front of him with a mocking expression. "I never thought that the dignified Evil Lord of the Southern Region would be so lowly as to guard someone else's house. It's truly lamentable."
"None of your business!" Yan Xiao sneered. "I do what I want, what's it to you?"
"Regardless of what happens in the future, the Immortal Alliance will regard cultivators from the Southern Region as mortal enemies. You, Lord Evil Monarch, will naturally be the first to bear the brunt. Do you think Cen Feng still believes in you?"
Upon hearing her words, Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then revealed a triumphant smile as he transformed into a streak of light and flew away into the distance.
Yan Xiao shouted, "Don't run!"
Xin Hun sneered: "Since you wouldn't dare to harm this body anyway, why bother getting entangled with me any further?"
The two chased each other, when suddenly their souls caught sight of Cen Feng approaching. They were immediately shocked. "Damn it, that teleportation array... it's actually someone from Peach Blossom Valley!"
Suddenly, an idea popped into her head, and she laughed wildly behind her, "Lord Evil Lord, it was so exhilarating to massacre the city together! How about we go and kill it again?!"
Yan Xiao, who was chasing after her, was listening to her inexplicable words. Before he could figure it out, he felt a chilling killing intent coming towards him.
"Yan Xiao!!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yan Xiao was immediately alarmed and forcibly stopped his attack. However, he was unexpectedly struck in the chest by a powerful spiritual force, and he groaned as he was sent flying backward.
Yan Xiao steadied himself in mid-air, clutching his chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood. Seeing Cen Feng chasing after him with a face full of anger, he felt a pang of sorrow in his heart. "Cough cough cough... Xiao Feng, you've misunderstood!"
Cen Feng clenched his fists angrily, his bloodshot eyes brimming with tears, and choked out, "You still want to lie to me!"
Yan Xiao gazed at the fleeing Soul Guide in the distance, then turned to look at Cen Feng before him, a bitter smile appearing on his pale face. "Could it be that in your heart... I'm already a heinous villain?"
"Aren't you one of them?" Cen Feng roared, "Then why are you here?! Tell me!"
"Why...?" Yan Xiao's voice trembled slightly, a look of frustration appearing in his eyes. After a moment, he said angrily, "Then do it! Cut me into a thousand pieces!"
"You think I wouldn't dare?!"
At this moment, Ye Luo, who had rushed over from a distance, stopped Cen Feng and advised, "Fifth Senior Brother, calm down!"
He had clearly seen from a distance that Yan Xiao seemed to be chasing after Xin Hun Yin, and did not appear to be an accomplice.
Ye Luo then sized up Yan Xiao and asked in a deep voice, "Lord Evil Lord, why are you here?"
"none of your business!"
Ye Luo: "..."
Yan Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at them coldly, turned around, and disappeared in a flash of light.
Cen Feng watched as no one pursued them, standing there with a somewhat somber expression. "He doesn't even want to lie anymore..."
"Maybe not... Sigh, never mind." Ye Luo sighed and patted his shoulder. "Let's go, let's intercept the Soul Guide first and try to save Senior Brother Xiao."
Cen Feng looked at him and nodded, wiping away the tears in his eyes, "Mmm..."
...
Guided by her soul, she flew all the way to the core of the formation, raised her hand to gather the strange crimson magic circle, and in an instant, a red sphere appeared in her hand. "Done!"
Within her field of vision, she saw Ye Luo leading several people in pursuit. Although she gritted her teeth in hatred, she could only temporarily avoid their attacks. "Hmph, once I've merged with this body, I'll see how I deal with you!"
After saying that, she turned and flew away into the distance.
However, just as she flew out of the imperial city, she suddenly felt a terrifying sense of oppression.
With a crackling sound, a blue bolt of lightning struck, hitting Xiao Huan's body directly and nearly knocking her soul out of her body.
"Not good!" Soul Guide seemed to realize something as well; this was a lightning-based spell specifically designed to deal with evil spirits.
This person came for her!
Just as she was lost in thought, a black figure moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of her in the blink of an eye, and then struck her squarely in the chest.
Suddenly, a blue magic seal appeared, transforming into a giant net crackling with electricity, which bound her tightly.
"Get out of his body!"
The cold-faced man in black robes raised his hand and slammed it into Xiao Huan's chest again. Under such repeated blows, Xiao Huan's soul could no longer withstand the force and was forced out of his body.
She stared in astonishment at the newcomer, only to see his cold, angry gaze as he said, "How dare you touch someone from my Xiao family? You're courting death!"
Even if Xin Hun Yin were slow-witted, he would have guessed the person's identity. Who else could it be but Xiao Xu from the Xiao family?
Her face turned pale, and without saying a word, she turned and fled into the distance.
Seeing this, Ye Luo, who had been chasing from afar, ordered several guards to pursue Xin Hun Yin before standing in mid-air with Xiao Xu.
When Cen Feng saw the unconscious Xiao Huan, he wanted to go forward and carry him, but Xiao Xu dodged him unhappily.
Cen Feng said angrily, "Hey, who are you? Give Senior Brother Xiao back to us!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu gave him a cold look, then picked up Xiao Huan and left with his subordinates, showing no intention of paying them any attention.
"Hey! Don't go!" Seeing the group walk away, Cen Feng hurriedly tried to chase after them, but Ye Luo stopped him, "Don't chase them!"
Cen Feng asked urgently, "But that person—"
“That person should be Xiao Xu.” Ye Luo interrupted him. “Don’t worry, Senior Brother Xiao, he should be fine.”
Cen Feng suddenly realized, "So it's his older brother. I was worried for nothing..."
Xiao Huan is now safe, which relieves everyone of the huge burden on their hearts. They no longer need to be so hesitant to act against him.
Looking at the capital city engulfed in flames, Ye Luo turned to Cen Feng and sighed, "Let's go, we need to clean up the mess."
"Um!"
When the two returned to the city, Ling Qing and his men captured many evil cultivators, but some still managed to escape.
Not long after, they went to hunt down the person who guided the soul, but were thwarted on the way and returned empty-handed.
"Did you see who it was?" Ye Luo asked.
The head guard truthfully replied, "She was disguised and I couldn't see clearly, but her figure looked like a woman's."
Ye Luo frowned: "A woman?"
Ling Qing glanced at the evil cultivator kneeling on the ground behind him and asked, "Young Master, what should we do with these people now?"
"Let's hand it over to the Immortal Alliance later."
As soon as Ye Luo finished speaking, the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon, gradually illuminating the earth.
The once prosperous capital city was reduced to ruins, with the remains of ordinary people scattered among the broken walls and children sitting on the ground crying helplessly.
"Damn it..."
...
Ye Luo and Cen Feng returned to the palace, and the cleanup took a whole day before the Immortal Alliance arrived.
Only then did Ye Luo realize that their actions were premeditated, and that other towns besides the capital where they were located had also been targeted.
After briefly understanding the situation, Ye Luo handed over the captured evil cultivators to the elders of the Immortal Alliance, who then took them away.
The capital of Qi Kingdom suffered heavy damage. Although Cen Feng was a cultivator, he was also a prince, so he decided to stay for a while and let Ye Luo return to the sect on his own.
After much deliberation, Ye Luo had no choice but to agree. He was still a little worried about the children who were still in the cave, and he needed to return to the sect as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the teleportation array could only be used once, and it took Ye Luo several days to travel back to Peach Blossom Valley.
But no sooner had he entered the mountain gate than Ming Cang dragged him into the study, saying, "You're finally back, kid!"
Seeing the complex expression on her master's face, Ye Luo paused for a moment and then instantly understood, chuckling softly, "Master... have you met the founding patriarch of the sect?"
Hearing his teasing words, Ming Cang blushed and said, "I can't accept being called 'Master' by you. You're my ancestor for eight generations..."
Hearing his statement, Ye Luo stroked her chin and thought for a moment, "That seems to make sense..."
In their previous lives, Zhu Yue and Yun Ling co-founded Peach Blossom Valley, so they can truly be considered one of the founding ancestors of the sect.
"Alright, Master, that's all in the past. In this life, you are my master, and that's an unchangeable fact. Don't you want your obedient disciple?"
"You're so obedient?" Ming Cang sneered. "You've got eight hundred tricks up your sleeve, and you've kept this a secret for so long. Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
Ye Luo chuckled and stepped forward to fawn over him, massaging his shoulders and back. "Master, your disciple knows he was wrong."
"Hmph!" Although Ming Cang's face showed displeasure, he was overjoyed. His disciples were all so promising, and now that he knew that the founding patriarch had not perished, he felt more confident.
Too many things have happened in Peach Blossom Valley these days, and both Feng Yue and Ye Luo have made him feel increasingly pressured.
He feared that if something really happened, he wouldn't be able to protect them properly.
Thinking of this, Ming Cang raised his hand and touched Ye Luo's head. "You must be tired. Go back and rest. Xi Xi has missed you these past few days."
"Well then, disciple will return to the cave first."
