Corpses were scattered all over the southern part of the city.
Most of the corpses were incomplete, or had been torn to shreds by powerful outsiders from the other realms. Their important parts had been cut off and taken away as trophies.
As for the souls of the dead, they were great nourishment for the otherworldly demons, so of course they had been eaten clean.
The pungent smell of blood made Yu Yuan slightly uncomfortable. He looked around and found that even the items and armor of some value had been taken away.
At a glance, there really wasn't anything that caught his eye.
"These otherworldly demons and local demons all know what's good for them."
Yu Yuan, who wanted to pick up some scraps, shook his head and sighed.
Whoosh!
The Baleful Demon Cauldron floated in the air and gathered the baleful aura in the depths of the Dark Fire Dust Mist.
Only the baleful aura was dense and rich. As the Baleful Demon Cauldron rose into the air, it naturally gathered and poured in from all directions.
"Great Yin Soul Art!"
As a thought flickered in his mind, he used his earthly soul to activate the strange soul technique of the Divine Soul Sect. He wanted to see if he could absorb more of the small devils to strengthen his earthly soul.
His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Subtle realm, and after refining his Earthly Soul, he seemed to have a strong desire for otherworldly demons.
But …
It was as if all the otherworldly demons and outsiders had left because of Lu Liu.
When he used the Great Yin Soul Art, not a single low-level demon was attracted by the magnetic field released by the Earthly Soul Art.
This made him feel a little regretful.
Fortunately, the Baleful Demon Cauldron floated in the air and was collecting wisps of baleful aura.
"Let's help the cauldron increase its strength first."
Thinking this, he walked through the Dark Fire Dust Mist in boredom, inspecting the corpses on the ground and being cautious.
They had to be on guard against the disciples of other sects who might come to reinforce them from other regions.
… …
Inside the azure light screen in front of the southern city gate.
Chen Langzhi, Jin Xiaolie, Wei Xian, and the other experts all had heavy hearts when they heard that the battle in the south was calming down.
The appearance of the greater demon, Lu Liu, extinguished the flames of hope that had been ignited in their hearts. It made them understand that none of the new reinforcements would survive.
In the end, that was indeed the case.
Lu Liu, who had revealed his true form, let out a shrill shriek and led the Heavenly Devils, foreign experts, local Greater Demons, and Earth Devils away. It took a long time for everyone to recover from their shock.
They were still immersed in the pessimistic emotions of fear and despair.
"Fiendish Demon Cauldron!"
All of a sudden, Qu Jing of the Spirit Void Sect, who was holding the Illusory Spirit Umbrella, seemed to have used some secret technique to see a large black cauldron flash past the depths of the Dark Fire Dust Mist.
Qu Jing could not help but exclaim.
"Fiendish Demon Cauldron!"
After Qu Jing, Chen Langzhi, Jin Xiaolie, and the others, including Liu Ying of the Star Luna Sect, also used their secret techniques and artifacts to vaguely see the Fiend Demon Cauldron through the dark lightning dust.
"Yu Yuan is still alive!"
"Not only is he alive, he actually appeared on the battlefield in the south of the city! Why didn't those bloodthirsty Heavenly Devils and outsiders kill him? "
"With his Subtle realm cultivation, even with the Baleful Demon Cauldron, can he really compare to Daoist Qiyu? Can he compare to Elder Kou Poshan of the lightning element sect?! "
"Yu Yuan must have colluded with the foreign Greater Demons! That's the only way he can survive! "
"..."
The appearance of the Fiend Demon Cauldron shocked the survivors of Azure Phoenix City, and they all accused Yu Yuan of colluding with the foreign Greater Demons.
Then they said that Yu Yuan had gone to the Great Desolate God Lake and used the scabbard to release the Greater Demons, including Lu Liu, from the Sword Prison, which was a sign of goodwill.
Furthermore, when they talked about the Fallen Moon Forbidden Land, they also said that it was Yu Yuan who had awakened and released the Greater Demons that had been sealed there.
All of a sudden, Yu Yuan became a thorn in everyone's side.
This time, even Chen Langzhi, Jin Xiaolie, Liu Ying, and the others had nothing to say.
With such a low cultivation base, Yu Yuan should have either been lucky enough to escape from Azure Phoenix City, or he should have died long ago.
A few days had passed, but Yu Yuan hadn't left the city. Instead, he was still floating outside the city, and he was still alive and well. It was too strange.
Liu Ying sighed faintly in her heart. It was only because of Zu An's protection that Yuyuan was safe and sound.
Zu An was the leader of the foreign Greater Demons. He protected Yu Yuan and acknowledged Yu Yuan. No matter what the reason was, it was enough to prove that Yu Yuan wasn't a simple person.
"Do I really have to go to the opposing side?"
Liu Ying's heart was in a mess when she thought of this.
…
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, the seven-day deadline Zu An had given him was up.
Yu Yuan returned to the Fiend Demon Cauldron and floated in the Dark Fire Dust Mist. All he could think about was whether he should go to the teleportation portal in the northern part of the city and return to the Forsaken Forgotten Land.
WHOOSH!
The Earth Devil in human form arrived on time and said respectfully, "My lord has ordered me to take you there."
"What's going to happen to this city?"
Yu Yuan turned around and looked at the majestic Qing Luan City in the Dark Fire Dust Mist. He frowned and said, "Will the most majestic city in the Qian Xuan Continent …?"
"The city will most likely remain standing, but many of the cultivators in the city will die." The Earth Devil was very frank. "To be honest, except for those on the same side, everyone else will die. The final fate of this city will depend on the Azure Phoenix Empress. "
"Princess Qing Luan?" Yu Yuan was shocked.
"If she's willing to hand over the throne and pass it to my master, many things will be easily solved. This city will also remain intact and won't be destroyed, "the Earth Devil replied." If she's unwilling, I don't know. "
"The succession of the throne!" Yu Yuan was shocked.
The information the Earth Devil revealed was too shocking. He didn't expect that Chen Liangquan, who was also a member of the Chen Clan, wanted to force Princess Qing Luan to abdicate and become the Emperor of the Qing Luan Empire!
Chen Liangquan's cultivation realm wasn't particularly high, but his strength was unfathomable.
However, did he really have the strength to challenge Princess Qing Luan?
Furthermore, wasn't the construction of Qing Luan City jointly done by Chen Liangquan and Princess Qing Luan?
Qing Luan City was also the place Princess Qing Luan chose to merge with the Dao when she ascended to the Freedom Realm!
Asking Princess Qing Luan to hand over the throne was equivalent to handing over everything, including Qing Luan City. How could she allow that?
From what Yu Yuan had heard about this female Monarch, she definitely wouldn't allow anyone to go against her.
As for Chen Liangquan, according to his communication with the Cauldron Soul, he probably had the blood of a foreign race. He was the mixed-blood remnant mentioned by the three high sects. How could someone like him, who wasn't valued by the three high sects, become the Emperor of the largest empire in Haoran?
After a while.
He met Zu An again in front of the teleportation array in the northern part of the city.
Zu An, who was sitting alone in front of the array, raised his head slightly. His gaze moved away from the Sky Observing Mirror and landed on Yu Yuan. With a cold expression, he asked, "You've cultivated the secret soul arts of the Shenhun Sect?"
"Yes." Yu Yuan nodded and admitted.
Facing this close friend of his from his previous life, he had too many questions and too many doubts in his heart. However, due to the special situation now, he couldn't say anything.
"Since you've received his inheritance, you should study the Way of Medicine Refinement in addition to your cultivation. In the future, you'll definitely become an important person in this world. Why should you cultivate the secret arts of the Shenhun Sect?" Zu An snorted. "Do you know that as long as you show your strong talent in medicine refinement and let people know that you're his disciple, you'll be accepted no matter what the future holds?"
Yu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I want to become stronger."
After a pause, he said, "If you mind that I've cultivated the secret arts of the Shenhun Sect, why are you with them? You can choose to be with them. I've only cultivated the soul arts. What can I do? "
"You've cultivated the Great Yin Soul Art!" Zu An shouted coldly.
"What's the difference?" Yu Yuan asked.
"What's the difference? You'll know what it means to cultivate the Great Yin Soul Art later! "Zu An took a deep breath." You won't be able to return to the Barren Abandoned Land. You'll be seen as a thorn in the side of the three high sects, the Devil's Palace, and the Goblin Temple! "
