Young Master

Inside the palace built of black and gold, Devil Race of various shapes and sizes filled almost the entire hall.

They brazenly revealed their hideous Devil Race forms, and at a glance, it was actually Fan Nanjun, the demon lord who appeared to be Human Race, who seemed the least intimidating.

"Demon Lord, we have come here because we heard that you have taken in two righteous cultivators, so we would like to know if this rumor is true or false!" A Devil Race with goat horns was the first to ask.

Fan Nanjun had already concealed his injuries, making it seem as if nothing had happened.

Upon hearing the goat horn's question, he immediately retorted, "You yourself said it's a rumor, so it's naturally not the truth."

"Then what is the truth?! Lord Demon Lord, don't tell us that those two Human Race dressed in white in your palace aren't cultivators from the Flowing Light Sword Sect!" The Devil Race who spoke threw out an Image-Retaining Stone, which completely captured the images of Su Fuyun and Gu Huaiwei.

With such evidence before him, even if Fan Nanjun didn't want to admit it, he had no choice but to accept it.

He coughed lightly, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "They are indeed righteous cultivators, but they weren't taken in by me; they were captured! That man is Gu Huaiwei, known as the Sword Master. I captured him and imprisoned him in the Devil Palace to demonstrate the power of my Devil Race!"

If Fan Nanjun with a poor judgment had said this, they might have actually believed it.

Unfortunately, none of the Devil Race present were fools.

One of the female demon generals with a snake tail laughed upon hearing this, "Is Your Majesty serious? Everyone in the Cultivation World knows that Gu Huaiwei is seriously injured, and it's uncertain whether he will even wake up. Your Majesty brought back a cripple and even hired a demonic healer for him. If word gets out, my Devil Race will not only lose face, but will also be ridiculed!"

The female demon general came from a powerful Lineage and possessed considerable strength. That's why she spoke so rudely to Fan Nanjun.

Fan Nanjun furious, but he didn't dare to be as tough as he usually was. After all, he was still injured, and if he fought them, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Thinking this through, Fan Nanjun explained, "Although Gu Huaiwei is injured, he still retains the title of Sword Master and was once considered the leader of the righteous path by those human cultivators. By locking him up in our Devil Race, the other human cultivators will naturally know the power of our Devil Race be intimidated by us."

"You don't understand the implications, so you shouldn't make unwarranted comments. Now you even dare to question me about this; isn't that a bit too presumptuous!"

Fan Nanjun appeared formidable, but it was all bark and no bite; the female Devil Cultivator showed no sign of being intimidated.

Before they could ask any more questions, a Devil Race guard suddenly burst into the hall, interrupting their conversation.

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, a powerful Human Race cultivator has broken in. He fought his way to the Devil Palace, claiming he wants to see Miss Su!"

Fan Nanjun slapped the armrest and stood up. "What are you all doing, letting a cultivator break into the Devil Palace?!"

He had barely finished saying he wanted to intimidate the Human Race when a cultivator barged in, right in front of so many demon generals. How could he possibly save face?!

Fan Nanjun was furious and immediately followed the guards to find them. The other demon generals, unwilling to miss this good show, naturally followed obediently as well.

However, the guards were a step too slow. The male cultivator had already grabbed the other guards and led the way, directly entering the Wondrous Cloud Palace where Su Fuyun was located.

The once formidable Devil Race were as fragile as clay figures in the hands of that male cultivator.

The guards that Fan Nanjun sent to protect Su Fuyun were quickly dealt with.

By the time Fan Nanjun and his group arrived, the male cultivator's sword was already pressed against Su Fuyun's throat.

"I've come here for no other reason than to ask Miss Su a question," the male cultivator said coldly.

Su Fuyun forced a gentle smile, her voice trembling, "Senior, what do you wish to ask me?"

"Where is Sang Ying?" the male cultivator, Liu Wu, asked.

It's Sang Ying again! Why is she still so persistent even though she's lost her Golden Core? Someone even dared to break into the Devil Palace for her sake!

Su Fuyun was filled with jealousy and resentment, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained, "Senior, why are you asking me about my junior sister? Does she have some inseparable relationship with you?"

The longsword was thrust forward again, slicing through Su Fuyun's neck.

Terrified, she dared not move, tears instantly streaming down her face. "Senior, please forgive me! Senior, please forgive me! I won't do it again, I really won't. I'll tell you everything, my junior sister jumped into the crevice behind the Flowing Light Sword Sect..."

Without Liu Wu needing to press her further, Su Fuyun spilled everything out like Douzi.

"Why would she jump down into the crevice?!" Liu Wu didn't believe this person would collude with demons. He was also a sword cultivator and could see that Sang Ying's Sword Qi aura was powerful and could not possibly be the despicable person rumored to be.

He specifically inquired about the whereabouts of Sang Ying's master, and came today to seek justice for Sang Ying!

Su Fuyun didn't want to say anything more, but Liu Wu actually struck again, leaving another wound on her neck. Her facial injury hadn't healed yet, and now there was another one. She was both angry and anxious, and couldn't care less about anything else.

She immediately exclaimed, "I didn't do it! She jumped down on her own! It was the sect leader who disliked her, falsely accused her of colluding with the Devil Race, and even tried to shatter her Golden Core and expel her from the sect. That's why she jumped!"

Liu Wu wanted to continue asking questions, but unexpectedly, he heard hurried footsteps outside, clearly indicating that Fan Nanjun and his group had arrived.

Su Fuyun naturally knew that her reinforcements had arrived, and immediately became bolder, shouting for help towards the door.

Liu Wu narrowed his eyes, immediately knocked Su Fuyun unconscious, and cleaved Wondrous Cloud Palace in two with a single sword strike. Just as he had come, he forced his way out once again.

Upon seeing his beloved's miserable state, Fan Nanjun intended to chase after her and teach her a lesson. However, he was stopped halfway by the other demon generals.

After he bribed the demon generals to leave and then followed Liu Wu's scent to catch up, the man had already vanished without a trace.

However, Fan Nanjun focused on searching for Liu Wu, did not realize that Liu Wu was not the only one who had broken into the Devil Palace today.

After he instructed the maid to move the unconscious Su Fuyun to another palace, a figure quietly slipped out from the maid's shadow, avoided everyone's sight, and slipped into the room where Su Fuyun was.

Looking at the female cultivator lying on the bed, the man silently knelt down on one knee. "Young Master, I'm late!"

"It's not too late." A hoarse female voice came from Su Fuyun's body.

Soon, a familiar jade pendant reappeared around Su Fuyun's neck. The sound came from the jade pendant.

"My master knew that the young master was in trouble, so he specifically instructed his subordinates to bring the young master back," the man continued, his posture towards the jade pendant respectful and devout.

Jade Pendant: "Very good, take this body back with you. It's a gift I found for my father in the Twin Orchid Realm, and I believe he will like it!"

The man nodded quickly in agreement, and his veil slipped down in the process, revealing an ordinary face.

If Wen Miaoshu were here, she would definitely recognize that this was the person who knocked her clay figure off the flying boat that day!
