Mingting was happy, but the Fox King and Demon Lord, as the parties involved, were utterly miserable.

As they got closer and closer to the Demon Capital, they encountered more and more dangers, like assassination attempts, ambushes, sieges… they’re coming one after another without stopping.

Their attackers included both demonic beasts and demons.

Even when they arrived at a demon city, the city lord personally led the charge to capture them. If not for Ji Yanjun’s abundance of thunderfire, they might not have escaped.

Though the monster and demon races were usually at odds, they’d somehow reached a tacit understanding in hunting Bai Chen and Ji Yanjun down, with many demonic beasts crossing into the demon’s territory to join the chase.

"What the hell is going on?!"

After barely escaping another assassination attempt, Bai Chen panted heavily and said in doubts.

He had not recovered in the first place, and after encountering relentless pursuit, not only did his injuries not heal, but minor injuries kept piling up.

What's more terrifying is that great demonic beasts have begun to appear recently.

In the past, it was just small fry, but the day before yesterday, the Eagle King’s son was personally supervising the battle in the sky.

"The news of our injuries has spread across the demonic beasts and demons."

Ji Yanjun's eyes burned with fury.

He’d originally planned to keep it under wraps. Once they reached the Demon Capital, he could fake his way through, and even if suspicions arose, no one would dare challenge him openly.

But now, barely halfway there, they were already facing relentless attacks.

There was only one explanation.

"Who’s behind this? Tianji Tower?"

The first person Bai Chen thought of was Wen An, but he quickly dismissed it.

Wen Liangyu was still in their hands, and unless Wen An wanted him dead immediately, he wouldn’t do something like this.

‘Then, the only people who could do such a thing must be the Ancestors of the other sects!’

‘How despicable!’

When they were attacked again, they joined forces to kill the pursuers and found the memory stone from the other party.

Seeing the scenes inside, Bai Chen’s heart sank.

‘Who on earth had been following us and secretly recorded these things? Even I and Ji Yanjun didn't notice it?!’

Bai Chen realized he’d been too careless.

He thought that when he arrived in the demon realm, at least, they wouldn’t face enemies at the Divine Transformation level.

But it turned out the rats hiding in the gutters were the most troublesome, as their petty, underhanded tactics had brought the two rulers to their knees.

Bai Chen and Ji Yanjun exchanged glances, and then one flew into the air and looked around, while the other released the demonic energy and searched on the ground.

"Show yourself!"

Ji Yanjun roared, and his long mace was inserted into the earth.

“Cough…”

A figure suddenly shot up from the ground and sprinted backward, only to be intercepted by Bai Chen.

When they saw that the intruder was wearing the disciple uniform of Zhenshan Sect, the two of them felt both old and new grievances rise to the surface.

‘Zhenshan Sect!’

Their streak of bad luck had started when they went to kill Du Heng at the Zhenshan Sect. This sect was practically their nemesis!

And now, a mere Zhenshan Sect’s disciple had managed to track them so deep into demon realm without being detected.

‘This person is so terrifying, he must be eliminated!’

Leng Rong hadn’t expected this. He had hidden himself perfectly, concealing his presence meticulously, yet the Fox King and Demon Lord still found him.

‘What a miscalculation.’

As someone with a Single Ice Spiritual Root, Leng Rong had exceptional talent, and his master had nurtured him diligently. Now, he was already a Golden Core cultivator.

Unlike Wen Liangyu, who relied on divination to reach Golden Core, Leng Rong had fought his way up through sheer combat prowess.

Under normal circumstances, he might not have been a match for Bai Chen and Ji Yanjun.

But after being hunted down repeatedly along the way, the two were already exhausted.

Especially since Ji Yanjun had run out of his stored thunderfire, so now Leng Rong could barely hold his own against them.

"Senior Brother, let’s go." Seeing Leng Rong leading the two men eastward, He Huan supported Wen Liangyu and fled north.

Even though Leng Rong was wearing a Zhenshan Sect’s uniform, He Huan didn’t dare trust him. She couldn't read this man's mind. Since he suddenly appeared here, who knew what he was here for?

"Go, don’t worry about me."

Wen Liangyu had also been injured along the way. If not for He Huan’s insistence, Ji Yanjun would have long abandoned him.

Seeing that his Junior Sister still supported him even while escaping, Wen Liangyu felt his efforts had been worth it.

He pulled a jade pendant from his neck and shoved it into He Huan’s hands.

"This is my protective talisman. It contains a trace of the Ancestor’s source power. If you are in danger, you can crush it."

Then, Wen Liangyu pulled out a talisman paper from inside his belt, bit his finger, and scribbled something on it before sticking it onto He Huan.

"This is an invisibility talisman. It can hide you for ten hours. Junior Sister, go quickly. Head north to reach human territory. You must return and find the Ancestor."

He Huan wasn’t actually sincere about taking Wen Liangyu with her. She had heard his inner thoughts along the way.

Wen Liangyu had been calculating when to crush the pendant and use the Ancestor’s power to deal a heavy blow to Bai Chen and Ji Yanjun.

It was precisely because of her mind reading ability that He Huan knew Wen Liangyu had a backup plan.

Moreover, he had secretly used pebbles to divine good and bad omens, predicting that the Fox King and Demon Lord were about to face disaster.

So when Leng Rong suddenly appeared, He Huan wanted to take this opportunity to escape, and take Wen Liangyu’s trump card with her.

"I won’t go! If we leave, we leave together…" He Huan sobbed, refusing to leave, but Wen Liangyu pushed her away. "Go quickly! If they come back, you won’t get another chance!"

"Senior Brother, I’ll definitely find the Ancestor and beg him to save you..."

He Huan turned, wiped her tears, and her figure gradually vanished from Wen Liangyu’s sight due to the invisibility talisman.

She didn’t head north, as going north means going to the human race’s territory. Bai Chen and Ji Yanjun might chase after her, so she felt it’s better to take a detour.

When Fengtian saw He Huan fooling Wen Liangyu with its own eyes, he sighed in its heart, ‘People always have to grow up. The Female Lead’s growth rate is just a bit faster than most.’

Leng Rong eventually escaped with injuries. When Bai Chen and Ji Yanjun returned and found only Wen Liangyu, they immediately beat him up.

Usually, when He Huan was there, the two of them didn't do much to Wen Liangyu.

This time, since He Huan had ran away, they naturally no longer held back.

Wen Liangyu was also a tight-lipped person. He refused to reveal where He Huan had gone.

"Why waste words on him?!"

Ji Yanjun slammed his palm onto Wen Liangyu’s head, shattering his, and white brain matter splattered everywhere.

‘Died just like that?’ Seeing this scene, Fengtian was dumbfounded.

‘Without the Male Lead, the Supporting Male Characters are really going all out! It's really disappointing that Wen Liangyu died so quickly!’

"Should we go after her or heal first?" Ji Yanjun was sick of the constant hunts, "Or, should we split up?"

"Split up? Do you think we won't die fast enough?" Bai Chen coughed a few times, "We can only stick together now. Otherwise, we’re dead if we get ambushed!"
