As the sun moved forward little by little, some of the monks below the stage became impatient and started shouting.
"It's been so long, there's no fox demon. Sect Master Qiu hasn't shown up yet. What the hell is he up to?"
"I think the fox demon story is fake. The real story is that the Demon Realm sent troops to invade Jiuzhou and detained Sect Master Qiu today!"
Yan Ying frowned as she listened to the discussions of the people around her.
She believed in Cen Ji. But today's situation was unclear. That fox demon was no ordinary creature. Cen Ji had made such a big fuss today. If the fox demon didn't show up, there would be no way to explain it to the cultivators of Jiuzhou.
"Everyone, please be patient. Today is the full moon and the moon's energy is at its peak. If the fox demon is really in Yuan Huizong's body, she will definitely take action tonight." Ning Hai said loudly.
Guiyun Sect is the best among the immortal sects in Jiuzhou. After Ning Hai said this, the monks below the stage instantly became much quieter.
Ning Hai looked towards the platform, but saw that Cen Ji's gaze was always on Yan Ying.
Seven years ago, the Lord of the Demon Realm had taken Ying'er away, but he didn't know at that time that Cen Ji was the Lord of the Demon Realm. Now that he thinks about it carefully, what else does he not understand?
It was obvious that Cen Ji had left Guiyun Sect and was afraid that Ying'er would be in danger without anyone to protect her, so he came to him.
He didn't know whether Cen Ji was a good person or not, but his sincerity towards Ying'er was evident to all.
Once the monster incident is over, he will need to have a detailed talk with Ying'er.
Soon, the sun set in the west and lights were lit everywhere under Emperor Huizong of Yuan.
"Sect Master Qiu hasn't shown up all day. It seems like he's in real danger."
"The moon is about to come out, everyone be alert."
Cen Ji stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the horizon.
"My lord, are you really sure?" Feng Xu asked softly.
"No." Cen Ji spoke softly.
"The Demon Realm could have stayed out of this matter, but the Lord has deep feelings for... for some people." Feng Xu said.
In his opinion, the Lord was really stupid enough to be controlled by a woman.
"No matter success or failure, when the fox demon appears, you must retreat back to the Demon Realm without delay." Cen Ji said coldly.
The strength of this fox demon is so terrifying that his chances of winning are slim to none.
But Cen Ji has never been a person who believes in fate. No matter what the outcome is, he must protect Yan Ying.
Feng Xu sighed helplessly.
The Lord had already ordered them to retreat immediately when the fox demon appeared.
He understood that the Lord did not want to implicate the Demon Realm, so before coming to Yuan Huizong, the Lord had explained everything to him.
If the Lord cannot return to the Demon Realm safely, the Demon Realm will support him to take the throne of the Lord.
"What is that?"
"Look! What's that floating in the sky?"
As the crowd roared, the entire Yuan Huizong was shrouded in a purple cloud.
Cen Ji raised his hand to signal Feng Xu to leave with the Demon Realm soldiers. "Qi Jiang, you also come with Feng Xu."
"My Lord, I want to stay. I'm alone and I'm not afraid of anything." Qi Jiang said with a firm look. "If it weren't for you, I would have died in the wilderness long ago. I want to stay by your side."
Cen Ji was moved and looked at Qi Jiang and said "OK".
When Cen Ji appeared next to Yan Ying, the fox demon had already appeared in mid-air.
"You little bastards, you dare to challenge me?" Qiu Yuan's voice was as sharp as a ghost. "Hong Ning owed me back then, so you youngsters should repay me!"
"Master, we..." Yan Ying held Cen Ji's hand and looked back at Ning Hai, only to find that Ning Hai had a dull expression and looked as if he had lost his mind.
"Master!" Yan Ying looked back again, but saw that all the disciples of Guiyun Sect were staring at Qiu Yuan in the sky with a dazed expression, even Cen Ji.
"How could this happen?" Yan Ying turned around and looked with a trembling voice.
All the monks in the square looked up at the sky, as if time and space had suddenly stopped, and the scene was extremely strange.
"Do you want to save them?" Qiu Yuan sneered and flashed in front of Yan Ying.
"What did you do to them?" Yan Ying looked at Qiu Yuan angrily.
"They've all entered the illusion I set up and are about to die." Qiu Yuan raised the corners of her lips, her eyes curved. "But if you give me your spiritual roots, I will let them go."
Yan Ying listened to Qiu Yuan's words, raised her head and looked at Cen Ji's chin, and her hand holding Cen Ji trembled slightly.
"Okay, I promise you." Yan Ying let go of Cen Ji's hand.
Qiu Yuan smiled and activated his magic, rising into the air with Yan Ying.
Yan Ying looked at her master, senior brothers, and Cen Ji, who were gradually becoming smaller and smaller at her feet, and let out a long breath.
She knew that Qiu Yuan was lying to her, and even if she gave her the spiritual root, she would never let him go.
As Qiu Yuan's hand slowly approached, Yan Ying's muscles all over her body tensed up and were ready to strike.
Finally, she found the right opportunity, grabbed Qiu Yuan's neck, and quickly used some hand gestures to restrain her.
"You know very well that doing all this is futile." Qiu Yuan looked at Yan Ying with contempt and said lightly.
"But I don't want to be a fish on the chopping board. I have to try it to know whether it will succeed or not." Yan Ying looked at Qiu Yuan coldly.
It was indeed difficult for her to compete with Qiu Yuan with her strength, and the formation she used could only trap her for a moment, so she could not delay at all.
Yan Ying awakened the system in her heart.
[System: Host, have you really thought it through?]
The sound of the system was very different from before. Yan Ying knew that the system was now just a cold machine.
Yan Ying looked at the quiet direction below her feet and nodded.
