Su Fuyun, You Still Dare Come Back?!
Having received the Demon Lord's order, Fan Nanjun gave a command, and countless fierce attacks rained down on the flying boat as if they were free.
Even though the airship's defensive barrier opened quickly, the rain-like attacks still caused the airship to sway in the air.
As the person with the highest cultivation level on the entire flying ship, Jiulian immediately spotted Fan Nanjun and the others hiding in the shadows.
He snorted coldly, his tone contemptuous. "With just this few people, you dare to ambush my flying boat Ten Thousand Daos Born? You're really underestimating me!"
With a sudden wave of his folding fan, a hurricane swept up from the ground and rushed straight towards Fan Nanjun and the others.
Although Fan Nanjun couldn't Fusheng, he still managed to ascend to the position of Demon Lord through his own abilities, so he did possess some strength.
Before the hurricane even reached him, Fan Nanjun directly dispersed it.
Seeing this, Jiulian's expression gradually turned serious. "Looks like he's got some skills after all."
The folding fan was waved again, and the two mud dragons suddenly coalesced, struggling to lift their heads from the grass.
The earth dragon swung its tail, aiming for Fan Nanjun's face, giving him no chance to escape. Fan Nanjun gritted his teeth in hatred; he was already beginning to regret accepting this mission.
But recalling the terrifying and domineering nature of Fusheng, he still dared not give up the mission easily.
"Fine, let's give it a shot!" Fan Nanjun dispersed all his men, narrowly dodging the tail swings of the two earth dragons, and then rushed towards the outskirts of the city without looking back.
He remembered there was a river on the outskirts of the city; perhaps he could take care of the two earth dragons there.
Watching Fan Nanjun's rapidly fleeing figure, Sang Ying reminded her master, "That person seems to be the former Demon Lord, but it's said that after the new Demon Lord appeared, he directly took his position, and he quickly submitted to the new Demon Lord and even became the deputy general of the demon army."
"A lieutenant general!" Jiulian tapped her chin lightly with her folding fan. "That's perfect. I was just worried about how to make that Demon Lord retreat. A lieutenant general should still be of some value!"
He suddenly leaped off the flying boat and chased after Fan Nanjun in the direction he had left.
Before Jiulian's figure disappeared, he left behind a sentence: "No need to wait for me, you all go back to the sect first. I'll return to the Flowing Light Sword Sect after I capture this deputy general!"
Sang Ying didn't have time to stop them, but she also made no attempt to call them back.
Fan Nanjun's cultivation level was far inferior to Jiulian's, and she knew very well that if the two of them got together, Jiulian would definitely not be the one to suffer.
"Since Master has said so, let's head back first. It just so happens that City Lord Hai and the fellow Daoists from the Layered Heavens Palace are still injured, so it would be good to go back early and have Gurong take a look at them." Jiulian's figure quickly disappeared into a cloud of dust, Sang Ying could only say helplessly.
The others didn't notice anything amiss and continued piloting the flying boat towards the Flowing Light Sword Sect.
The next second, a bolt of black lightning descended from the sky!
The sudden appearance of lightning and fire gave them no chance to prepare, directly breaking through the airship's defenses and landing directly on the deck.
Before Sang Ying could even draw her Floating River Sword, the thunder and fire exploded with a deafening roar!
A force comparable to the full-force attack of Spirit Transformation cultivator exploded on the flying boat, instantly destroying the entire vessel.
After Jiulian, who had already trapped Fan Nanjun, heard the deafening explosion, everyone on the airship had completely disappeared...
When Qi Yaoji arrived in the Twin Orchid Realm aboard her transboundary flying boat, large swathes of the sky there were already covered by dense Demonic Qi.
Seeing this rather spectacular scene, a smile appeared on her lips, adding a touch of allure to her originally delicate features.
"Young Master Qi, please board the flying boat." The tall demon general, wrapped in a thick black robe, bowed to the person in front of him, suppressing his resentment, even though this person was the righteous cultivator he once despised the most.
Qi Yaoji, being as shrewd as she was, could easily see the demon general's resistance towards her, but she didn't care. She hadn't come here to win the favor of these demons, but rather on her master's orders to assist Fusheng in completely subduing the Twin Orchid Realm.
Thinking of this, she smiled politely at the demon general, "Please show me the way."
The demon general froze, staring at the familiar face before him, momentarily unsure of what the man intended to do.
She mysteriously disappeared from the Devil Palace before, and now she's reappeared with a different identity. Does she still think the current Demon Lord is a fool like Fan Nanjun?
The image of the Demon Lord's Fusheng flashed through his mind again, and the Demon General shuddered slightly. He was certain that if the female cultivator in front of him dared to cause trouble again, the Fusheng lord would make her regret it!
Qi Yaoji was unaware of the demon general's plans. She waited until the small flying boat slowly landed above a luxurious mansion before opening her eyes again.
Not far from the mansion stood the majestic immortal mountain. The scene she had seen in the jade pendant before came back to her eyes, and Qi Yaoji felt a surge of emotion.
Before the demon general could even urge her, Qi Yaoji quickly averted her gaze. "Alright, take me to see your Demon Lord!"
Her disrespectful attitude made the demon general frown, but remembering the tone of the demon lord's words when he ordered him to go and pick up the person, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and obediently led the person forward.
The city lord's mansion wasn't actually very large, not even half the size of the Devil Palace. Originally, the demon generals wanted to persuade Fusheng to stay in the Devil Palace to guard the rear. But this demon lord was clearly not someone who could be swayed by others. He resolutely followed the army here, saying that he wanted to witness the destruction of the Flowing Light Sword Sect with his own eyes.
The two hadn't walked far when the demon general stopped in front of a courtyard.
"This is the Demon Lord's current residence. We subordinates dare not enter casually. Please, Young Master Qi, go in by yourself," the Demon General said.
Qi Yaoji didn't care much. Her heart and mind were only focused on her master; why would she care what others thought?
Qi Yaoji nodded slightly to the demon general and then stepped into the courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, a female demon general finished recounting her day's gains, and after bidding farewell to the Demon Lord, silently left the house.
But the moment she turned her head, the person who suddenly entered her line of sight caused the female demon general's expression to change instantly.
"Su Fuyun! It's you! You actually dare to come back?!"
The female demon general's hand transformed into sharp claws and viciously clawed at Qi Yaoji's face. However, Qi Yaoji seemed to be startled by the sudden movement and stood motionless, waiting for the female demon general's attack to land.
However, the sharp claws ultimately failed to land on that beautiful face. The female demon general didn't even touch Qi Yaoji's clothes before being sent flying by a tremendous force!
The cold voice of the Fusheng Demon Lord rang out behind her, but the meaning behind the words filled the female demon general with fear. "She is not Su Fuyun, she is Qi Yaoji, the daughter of the leader of the Mara Gate in the Immortal Spirit Realm."
Beneath the dark clouds, the face that looked exactly like Su Fuyun's blossomed into a bewitching and charming smile as Fusheng spoke.
Only at this moment did the female demon general truly realize that perhaps the person in front of her was not the Su Fuyun she knew.
A note from the author:
The person inside the jade pendant has finally appeared, and it's time for the mastermind behind it all to surface.
See you tomorrow!
