Wen Lun said with lingering fear, "It was really scary just now. If the Profound Sage hadn't found the Soul-Splitting Demon's body, we wouldn't have known that we had encountered such a terrifying demon. I'm afraid none of us would have survived."
You Zi glanced at him and said, "Have you forgotten what happened ten years ago?"
Wen Lun smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just afraid of the consequences."
Yang Xuan asked, "What happened ten years ago?"
You Zi explained, "Ten years ago, it was also a Soul Rending Demon that quietly controlled an army of one hundred thousand people and sneaked into our camp. Then, it suddenly launched an attack and caused great damage."
He said it very simply, but Yang Xuan could already imagine the scene at that time. It must have been very tragic.
From this point of view, they were really lucky to have met Yang Xuan today.
Afterward, Yang Xuan followed Wen Lun's team back to their camp.
This was already the fourth battle zone, and there were about a million soldiers in the entire camp. Yang Xuan could clearly feel the tragic atmosphere from the war.
Yang Xuan and the others' destination was not here. They still had to go deeper and reach the main camp of the fourth battle zone.
After entering the camp, Wen Lun first arranged for Yang Xuan to stay in one of the barracks and then left.
Not long after, while Yang Xuan was talking to You Zi, Wen Lun came back and said to Yang Xuan, "Mystic Thearch, General Yue invites you in."
You Zi took the opportunity to explain in a low voice, "General Yue is the general of this place. He has an Emperor-level cultivation and is known as the Moon Thearch."
Yang Xuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
As Wen Lun passed through the heavily guarded camp, under the watchful eyes of the patrolling soldiers, they came to a huge building in the center of the camp.
After explaining their purpose to the guards at the door, they were allowed to enter.
There was a large hall inside. The light was still bright, but it was filled with a desolate aura.
A slender man wearing red armor stood with his back facing them, looking at the topographic map hanging on the wall.
Wen Lun stepped forward and bowed, "General Yue, the Mystic Thearch has arrived."
After Wen Lun finished speaking, he waited quietly for a moment. However, General Yue did not turn around and continued to look at the topographic map on the wall.
Wen Lun looked at Yang Xuan awkwardly and shouted, "General Yue, the Mystic Thearch is here."
"Wen Lun, come and take a look." General Yue finally opened his mouth and said in a calm voice, "Here in Zhiyang Valley, if a demon army invades from here, I'm afraid it will pose a direct threat to our camp. Tomorrow, you will bring a group of troops to guard this place, just in case."
Wen Lun was even more embarrassed, but he had no choice but to agree.
Only then did General Yue slowly turn around and reveal his face.
Her eyebrows were thin and her eyes were like stars. She was actually a woman.
She first looked at You Zi and said with a smile, "You Zi, your cultivation has improved."
You Zi bowed and said, "Moon Emperor, you flatter me."
Yang Xuan did not say a word during this entire process. Instead, there was a smile on his face as he looked at General Yue in amusement.
After pretending for a while, General Yue then looked at Yang Xuan and said, "I heard from Wen Lun that you were the one who rescued them from the Soul-Splitting Demon's control?"
Before Yang Xuan could say anything, Wen Lun said, "General, we …"
General Yue coldly interrupted him, "Did I allow you to speak?"
Wen Lun was speechless and couldn't say anything else.
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "That seems to be the case."
General Yue smiled gently and said, "According to what I know, every Soul-Splitting Demon is at least a thearch. Even I can't defeat it easily. How did you capture it? How did you rescue so many soldiers from the Soul-Splitting Demon's control? "
Wen Lun's body trembled. He only thought of this question now.
That's right. The Soul-Splitting Demon was a high-level demon among the Extraterritorial Demons. The threshold was thearch-class. Once one was controlled by the Soul-Splitting Demon, unless the Soul-Splitting Demon voluntarily gave up control, there was no way to rescue them. How did Yang Xuan do it?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
"Moon Thearch, it's not …" You Zi naturally knew the inside story and anxiously tried to explain.
"I didn't ask you to speak." Moon Thearch only looked at him coldly and swallowed all his words back into his stomach.
You Zi looked at Yang Xuan and smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to explain without revealing Yang Xuan's identity.
"Can you give me an explanation?" Moon Thearch looked at Yang Xuan again and slowly sat down.
Yang Xuan shrugged and said indifferently, "Maybe I met a fake Soul-Splitting Demon."
"Ha!" Moon Thearch sneered and stared at Yang Xuan. She said, "Among the demons, there's a kind of Illusion Demon that's good at creating illusions. It can drag people into illusions in a very large area and make them experience all kinds of illusions."
Her voice reverberated, but it caused Wen Lun's body to tremble violently. He couldn't help but look at Yang Xuan.
You Zi smiled bitterly. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Before he left, Chang Sheng had already told him that Yang Xuan's identity as a Saint must not be revealed. He could only reveal it when he met the Saints. He didn't know how to explain it now.
Yang Xuan didn't think much of it. Instead, he looked curious. Obviously, he was curious about the Illusion Demon that Moon Thearch was talking about.
Moon Thearch continued coldly, "What's more, the Illusion Demon can imitate the appearance of others so vividly that it's difficult to differentiate …"
At this point, Moon Thearch's meaning couldn't be clearer.
Obviously, she thought that what Wen Lun and the others had experienced was a large-scale illusion created by Yang Xuan. He pretended to be a good person and saved them so that he could sneak into the camp.
As she spoke, she looked at You Zi suspiciously. Obviously, she was also suspicious of You Zi.
You Zi could only smile bitterly.
Clap clap clap!
Yang Xuan clapped and smiled. "What a rich imagination. I admire you. You Zi, since you don't welcome us here, let's go."
You Zi sighed inwardly. At this moment, he had no right to speak. He could only leave everything to Yang Xuan.
"Go?" Moon Thearch sneered. "Since you're already in front of me, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for you to leave."
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes. He had never seen such a self-righteous woman before. Was she going to rely on her imagination to get by?
However, with his current status and realm, he couldn't be bothered to argue with her. After completing his agreement with the Profound Sages, he would go back and deal with the Heiyun people.
Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly and turned around. "You Zi, let's go."
You Zi was still smiling bitterly. His eyes were full of helplessness. However, he knew who he should listen to. Hearing this, he bowed to Moon Thearch again and pretended to leave.
"Chi!"
A sharp force cut through the air and landed on the ground in front of Yang Xuan and You Zi, cutting a deep hole in the ground.
"It won't be too late to leave after you've made things clear." Moon Thearch retracted her palm and said coldly, "I heard from Wen Lun that you've subdued the Soul-Splitting Demon. If what you said is true, why don't you take it out for me to see?"
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! A large number of soldiers rushed over and surrounded the main tent.
Wen Lun's expression was solemn. He cupped his hands at Yang Xuan and said, "Mystic Thearch, please take out the Soul-Splitting Demon."
As he spoke, he looked at You Zi suspiciously. You Zi was so angry that his beard blew and his eyes widened.
Obviously, even he had begun to suspect Yang Xuan and You Zi.
Facing Moon Thearch's aggressive aura, Yang Xuan laughed. Just as he was about to speak, his heart suddenly moved.
