"Hmph, Wind Emperor's Limitless, Hundred Chaos Divine Wind!"
All kinds of techniques, precious tools, and precious artifacts shone together. Amidst the chaos, a sudden clap of thunder resounded.
The resisting disciples all revealed joyful expressions. "It's Elder Cheng's Divine Wind!" Some of them were greatly motivated. If not for their fellow disciples stopping them, they would have already charged out.
A human figure rushed to the sky above the stronghold and let out an explosive shout. The stronghold's surroundings were immediately filled with astral winds that surged like a great river. Hundreds and thousands of crazily attacking the stronghold were directly torn into bloody foams. There was even a strange-looking spaceship that broke apart. The others had no choice but to retreat.
These astral winds guarded the stronghold's surroundings, forming a natural protective formation. For a moment, no demon or ghost race dared to approach. Those battleships also floated outside.
"Roar!"
At this time, a resounding dragon cry suddenly resounded between heaven and earth. An azure dragon's tail rapidly descended from the distant sky and crashed into the Hundred Chaos Divine Wind. In the violent collision, the azure dragon swung its tail and rushed to the sky against the divine wind.
Life and death were linked.
Elder Cheng had no choice but to go to the sky. "Hmph, azure dragon, since you've come in person, this seat will meet you. I want to see what's so special about your Azure Dragon Mace!"
After he was lured away, the demon army naturally launched another attack. The costly Black Demon Arrows were shot into the stronghold as if they were free. This stronghold didn't even have a name. It was too simple and crude. Usually, its defense depended entirely on Elder Cheng's formidable strength. Originally, if things didn't work out, it would be logical to retreat to the second line of defense. Otherwise, there would be no need to set up three passes. In fact, it was more used as a warning.
However, the demon race came without any warning. The patrolling disciples didn't send back the slightest warning. This was enough to prove that they came prepared. Under the circumstances of being surrounded, if they dared to escape, only death awaited them.
From time to time, the nine great disciples would fall to the ground after being hit by arrows. Once hit by this kind of arrow, there was almost no possibility of treatment. Those who knew the situation would quickly pull out the arrow and self-destruct their cultivation. Perhaps they could save their lives, but the miserable situation for the rest of their lives was also imaginable.
Several hundred kilometers away, two women stood in the air. They were both wearing the same blood-red dress and had the same stunning appearance. However, it was still easy to tell them apart at a glance.
This was because one of them had a coquettish and enchanting bearing, and her beautiful eyes were filled with a fiery light. Especially when she smiled, the corners of her eyes would always curl into a captivating arc, and it was sufficient to attract the attention of any man in the world.
The other one was slightly inferior. She was beautiful, but her expression was extremely cold, like a puppet. Only his eyes would occasionally flash with a trace of mockery. It was unknown whether it was towards his own circumstances or the ways of the world, or both.
"Xiaoxiao, how soon do you think Emperor Han will return?" Li Hongzhuang asked, staring at the battlefield in the distance.
"It won't take more than an hour," Hong Yi said.
"An hour?" Li Hongzhuang giggled. "You underestimate him."
As she spoke, she suddenly had a thought, and her smile became even more charming. Her beautiful eyes looked towards a corner of the void. "Junior Brother, you've finally come."
A door opened in the void, and a handsome and radiant youth walked out from the abyss-like darkness. He was like a carnation that had bloomed at the bottom of the abyss, enthusiastic, cheerful, and duty-bound. His smile was extremely infectious, as if it could revive withered grass, the withered grass in the hearts of women.
The two women's hearts moved at the same time.
One's smile was even more beautiful, while the other's expression was colder.
He was the Demon Lord's adopted son, Ye Qiuchi. He came from a famous noble family in the Demon World and was extremely talented. However, he clearly had the strength of a ranker on the Heavenly Star List, yet he had been excluded by the Heavenly Measures Tower. Even now, it was still a mystery. Perhaps it was because no one had ever seen him fight.
Li Hongzhuang did not hide her joy at all. She went up and grabbed Ye Qiuchi's hand. His hand was wide and strong, gentle like jade, without the coarseness of a martial artist. It was easy to feel protective, and one could not help but want to know how it felt to be touched by such a hand.
"Eldest Senior Sister." Ye Qiuchi put away his folding fan and casually stuck it at his waist. He turned his hand around to hold Li Hongzhuang, his face full of affection. "I came late."
Although it was someone else who had brought them together, the two's feelings had warmed at an inconceivable rate.
His smile seemed to have the power to shake one's soul. It gave off a firm warmth, yet it was so elegant that it could melt one's heart.
Li Hongzhuang simply wanted to give up everything. She buried her head in his chest and basked in his gentle love. Like every woman nourished by love, her face glowed with an extremely beautiful light.
"It's fine," she said reluctantly. "You have to be careful. Emperor Han will be here soon. Xiaoxiao, open the door. "
Red Specter followed his instructions and opened a door expressionlessly.
Despite her reluctance, Li Hongzhuang let go of Ye Qiuchi and walked through the door.
Ye Qiuchi took out his folding fan again and gently fanned himself. His every movement was filled with grace. Even the act of fanning himself was enough to make a young girl blush and her heart race.
Hong Yi took a few glances and did not dare to look again.
In her novel, Ye Qiuchi was humble, polite, and elegant. Not only was he good at poetry, but he could also play the sound of a zither with his sword. His swordsmanship formed its own lineage, and he created the Xiaoxiang Sword Technique. He was known in the martial world as Young Master Xiaoxiang. Many human girls were infatuated with him, and he was a perfect male protagonist. However, he clearly could not belong to her. She did not dare to have any delusions.
"Xiaoxiao," Ye Qiuchi suddenly called out.
"Hm? Ah?" Hong Yi's heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to look at him.
"You've been back for so long. Why haven't you come to talk to me?" Ye Qiuchi smiled softly.
"Your Highness is of noble status. This servant is merely a Soul Shadow. I dare not taint Your Highness's sight and hearing," Hong Yi said in a low voice.
Ye Qiuchi said, "Have you forgotten that I sent you off when you went to the human world? We are friends. " He took two steps forward and approached her. He used his half-closed folding fan to lift Hong Yi's drooping head. "You should be more confident, Xiaoxiao. You have a different kind of beauty from Senior Sister. If she is impudent, you will be more reserved. Those who like you might not necessarily like your appearance. There are millions of people with different personalities in this world, and some people only like you. "
Hong Yi's body trembled. "I, I really can …"
"You should be more confident." Ye Qiuchi put away his folding fan and smiled in affirmation.
Hong Yi was greatly encouraged. For the first time in her life, she felt envious. She was very envious of Li Hongzhuang, but that was all she could do.
"Xiaoxiao, if there is a day when I need you, will you be willing?" Ye Qiuchi suddenly asked.
Hong Yi's expression changed. She retreated several meters. "I, I would never dare …"
Ye Qiuchi said, "Look at how scared you are. I mean open the door."
"Open the door?" Hong Yi was stunned.
Ye Qiuchi chuckled. "Yes, Emperor Han has returned. I'm going to ask him why my name isn't on the Heavenly Chen Proclamation."
"Ah, yes!" Hong Yi finally reacted and hurriedly opened a door.
Before Ye Qiuchi stepped through the door, he turned his head to glance at Hong Yi.
… …
When Li Hongzhuang entered the door, she saw a small storeroom. It was piled with materials and tools for repairing the stronghold. Through a small window, she could see the frenzied demons attacking.
This was the interior of the stronghold.
She stood there for a moment, then arched her brows. "Still not coming out?"
"I didn't think you would go to such lengths just to see me," a frivolous voice suddenly said. "Could it be that you've been secretly in love with me for a long time?"
Li Hongzhuang sneered, then quickly turned flirtatious. "Yes, since you came to White Emperor City, I am yours."
"Beauty, this trick of yours has lost its effectiveness. Aren't you on intimate terms with Ye Qiuchi?" the voice said. "What, now that you have a lover, you don't even want the position of Demon Lord anymore?"
"Guess." Li Hongzhuang smiled.
"I'm not looking for trouble. There's really no need for you to come and see me, "the voice said.
Li Hongzhuang said coquettishly, "Of course I know. As long as there's a chance, you will definitely kill me."
"That depends on what you can bring me," the voice said.
"You know my plan," Li Hongzhuang said.
"I can vaguely guess that you've even schemed against me. But do you think I will obediently do as you say? "the voice said.
Li Hongzhuang smiled charmingly, took out a chair, and sat down. She said languidly, "Whether you will or not, it doesn't affect the overall situation. Of course, I didn't come to find you just to find you. I urgently need to know how much power the Immortal Realm has invested. Don't think too highly of yourself. "
The voice chuckled. "Interesting. For the sake of a Yan Li, you've really gone to great lengths. Is it out of hatred, or is it because you're unwilling? If it's the latter, it seems that love isn't that important to you. "
"Oh?" Li Hongzhuang said. "It seems that you've planted quite a few people around me." She stood up, smiling like a flower. "Unfortunately, you're wrong. Do you want to know my true plan? Help me with one thing."
"I refuse," the voice said.
"Why?" Li Hongzhuang asked.
"I'm one of the Nine Great Disciples. Why would I work for the Demon Race? Don't even think about it," the voice said.
"That's a pity," Li Hongzhuang said. With a wave of her hand, she and the chair turned into red leaves and disappeared.
"Hehe …" The voice let out a chuckle, then gradually faded.
After a long time, the door to the storeroom was suddenly pushed open. Xu Longhua and Wen Ziqing walked in and closed the door behind them.
"Why don't you keep her? This is a rare opportunity!" Wen Ziqing frowned.
"She naturally has her uses," the voice said. "Wen Ziqing, there's an opportunity right in front of you."
"What opportunity?" Wen Ziqing asked.
"Why ask when you already know the answer? I know a little about Li Hongzhuang's plan. I can reveal it to you, and you can decide for yourself," the voice said.
Wen Ziqing said without hesitation, "I'm the chief of Dragon Elephant Mountain. I'm a doctor. My master only taught me to save people, not to harm people, let alone to help the wicked. Please forgive me for not agreeing." With that, he pushed the door open and was about to leave.
"Wait!" How could Xu Longhua let him go? He hurriedly stopped him.
"What, I don't want to listen to your dirty tricks?" Wen Ziqing said coldly.
"Let him go," the voice said.
Xu Longhua was startled. He frowned and stepped aside.
When Wen Ziqing was far away, he asked, "Why did you let him go? He knows you're meeting with Li Hongzhuang in secret. That's enough to destroy you. Aren't you afraid he'll tell? "
"You're worried that he'll tell Yan Li and make him wary, causing Li Hongzhuang's plan to fail," the voice said with a mocking tone. The voice said in a mocking tone, "You, Wen Ziqing, and Li Hongzhuang, in my opinion, each of you is more ridiculous than the last."
"What do you mean!" Xu Longhua was furious.
"Li Hongzhuang thinks I don't know that the Hidden Mountain Five Swords have entered the city. She thinks I don't know why she stole the map and used it as a bargaining chip to get me to do things for her. Don't you think that's ridiculous?" Although the voice used a question, it did not wait for Xu Longhua to answer. It continued, "Wen Ziqing obviously wants Yan Li dead, but he pretends to be uninvolved and stands on the highest point of righteousness. He's even narcissistic, thinking that his personality is elevated. Don't you think that's ridiculous? And you, you actually think he'll tell on you. He won't. "
"Are you so sure?" Xu Longhua's eyes flashed.
"I've already seen through all of you. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
