As the Demon Lord of Illusion's magic continued to erode the Ancient Treasure's will, just as he was about to take control, his entire demonic body was pierced by a beam of light.
Before he could even be shocked, the energy dissipated rapidly from where the light arrow pierced through, turning the entire demon into dust and disappearing without a trace.
Gu Baobei lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
This sudden turn of events stunned the group of demon soldiers, Hu Yanjing, and Ren Chenfeng, who all looked in the direction of the light arrow.
A girl with long, flowing hair and a bright, beautiful face holds a white bow in one hand.
The girl had fair skin, long, flowing hair, and wore a loose white robe. If you ignored her unhappy expression, she looked like a fairy who didn't eat the food of this world.
Xia Xiang saw the dark mass of demon soldiers, and her already unhappy expression turned even uglier.
He sheathed his longbow and swung a palm strike at them with his backhand—
The white energy, with overwhelming force, annihilated the group of black demon soldiers, and only then did her complexion improve slightly.
At this moment, Ren Chenfeng and Hu Yanjing, who had relaxed, could no longer hold on and fainted.
Xia Xiang: ...
These people have fainted; I can't just leave them there...
When Rex and Bai Yu arrived, they saw Xia Xiang standing and the three people lying on the ground...
Xia Xiang noticed that Bai Yu and another person were approaching very quickly, and immediately composed herself, staring indifferently at the two arriving individuals.
Bai Yu was taken aback at first, then immediately bowed respectfully.
He received a message a month ago saying that Xia Xiang had come out of the deep valley, but then he heard that she had locked herself back in her old residence and didn't know what she was doing.
Judging by the timeline, today should be the inauguration ceremony. Everyone on Bamo Island knows this, which is why they are handing over their work to Alliance Leader Jiuwu and preparing to return to Bamo Island.
But how did she end up here?
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Island Master. I am Rex, the Alliance Leader of the Gold Dimension." Seeing Bai Yu's expression, Rex knew that the person in front of him was likely the Island Master of Demon-Slaying Island, so he extended his hand.
Xia Xiang ignored him and walked past him.
Rex looked at Bai Yu with a question mark on his face, and Bai Yu shrugged helplessly.
Then the three of them carried the three seriously wounded men back to the military camp.
Bai Yu then arranged for Xia Xiang to go to the Demon-Slaying Island area while he went to handle urgent matters.
——
They were originally going to return to Demon-Slaying Island, but Elder Chang sent a message saying that the ceremony was postponed, so they didn't need to go back.
However, Xiao Ci and Hai Mo still had to go back. Hai Mo was already very unaccustomed to the environment of the Demon Realm, and now she was seriously injured because of her own abilities, so she had to return to Demon Island immediately to recuperate.
After finishing all his tasks, Bai Yu immediately went to Xia Xiang.
Xia Xiang was resting her hand on her left wrist, frowning and lost in thought.
She knew she had a problem with her memory; many things were simply not connected. Fortunately, she found a notebook she had written herself. But before she could sort out all the issues, a very bad feeling weighed on her heart.
It felt like she had something very important and urgent to do, but she couldn't remember it, which made her feel uneasy.
"Island Lord, have you come to the Demon Realm to intervene in this great war?" Bai Yu asked tentatively.
This matter is very important. If Xia Xiang intends to take action, then the entire battle plan will need to be changed.
"I remember we had a pretty good relationship," Xia Xiang said calmly, straightening her sleeves.
Bai Yu couldn't figure out her current personality and didn't know how to answer. If they didn't care about their verbal arguments, they were indeed friends before.
"If I were to intervene, those old men would probably all hang themselves," Xia Xiang said helplessly. "I came here to take care of some personal matters, so I need information on someone I know from before."
Good and evil need to be balanced. Although Demon-Slaying Island is part of that balance, she is not part of it. Moreover, the Iron Dimension Alliance Leader's cultivation is quite good, enough to handle this great battle, so there is no need for her to intervene.
Bai Yu took the documents off the shelf and handed them to Xia Xiang. These were all information about the members of the Alliance.
"This only contains their own information. As for their relationship with you, do I need to describe it verbally?"
"No need, you can go now," Xia Xiang said calmly, flipping through a thick stack of documents without even looking up.
"Yes," Bai Yu bowed and left the room, then went back to his own business.
-the next day-
After reviewing the information, Xia Xiang decided to go for a walk and went to the highest cliff. From here, she could see the entire camp and it was also a heavily guarded area.
“This battle has been going on for too long,” Xia Xiang said, frowning.
Xia Xiang pulled out a thick notebook. On the first page, several large characters were written in bold: Diablo had broken the five-year agreement first. He could be suppressed, but he could not participate in the great battle between the Demon Realm and the Superpowered Beings.
She tried to flip to the next page but couldn't open the content. Just as she was speechless, a red ribbon wrapped around her wrist.
Looking up, she saw a pale-faced boy, his thin frame draped in a loose coat. He was raising his wrist, bound with a red ribbon, with a puzzled expression, staring blankly at her.
Xia Xiang immediately reverted to her aloof and unapproachable demeanor, but she couldn't control herself—
"Have you seen enough?!"
She felt inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed that the man was staring at her. He was on the list of people Bai Yu had given her; he was the leader of the Iron Dimension, the second leader to be rotated through the main alliance.
He's quite good-looking, but he's too frivolous. He stared at pretty young girls as soon as he came in and even grabbed their wrists!
Jiu Wu was still frowning, somewhat dazed, but then he realized what was happening.
Because of the previous incident involving the Phantom Soul Demon Lord, the camp was under stricter control. Bai Yu had registered her when he brought her in, and of course, as the person in charge of their Demon-Slaying Island, they naturally needed to meet.
I never expected to meet you here, in this way...
Seeing Jiu Wu standing there in a daze, Xia Xiang was filled with anger. She took out a dagger and was about to cut the annoying red ribbon, but Jiu Wu suddenly appeared next to her and caught the dagger with his bare hands.
