575: Xin Yuelan fled in panic

"Greetings, Saintess!"

A demonic figure clad in black armor crashed heavily onto the ground at the lead, sending shattered stones flying everywhere!

Leading the group was a middle-aged Cultivator with a sinister expression, wearing a black demonic robe with gold patterns—Wan Bulei.

Beside him stood someone in pitch-black heavy armor, with a roaring skull demonic pattern branded on the shoulder guards.

His entire aura was as violent as a volcano about to erupt; it was none other than the Mad Extreme Demon Lord!

Watching Xin Yuelan step slowly and unharmed out of a shadow rift,

a flash of shock mixed with relief flickered through the eyes of the demonic Cultivators.

To be able to escape alive from a heaven-shaking death trap where Ah Da was killed and World Dust was obliterated... this Saintess was definitely no mere trophy!

Wan Bulei rushed forward a step and knelt on one knee, his speech fast and urgent:

"Saintess! The Sect Master has given strict orders that as soon as your trail is found, we must escort you back to the Demon Realm immediately, regardless of the cost!

This place has become a situation of extreme peril. I hope Your Highness will make a swift decision!"

The corner of his eye scanned the surroundings warily, as if a life-ending blade might cleave through the air at any moment.

Xin Yuelan's lips curled into a miserable smile. The Heavenly Demon Sect!

At this moment, in her heart, that was the safest ivory tower in the world!

"Go! Now!"

Her voice carried a trace of imperceptible fatigue and urgency; she only wanted to get far away from this land that gave her nightmares.

What yanshen fetus, what cultivation Foundation? That monster named Yao Delong... she only wished to never hear those three words again in this lifetime!

"Saintess!" A voice suppressed with the resonance of thunder and fire suddenly interrupted!

The Mad Extreme Demon Lord forced himself to bow in greeting, the muscles under his heavy armor bulging like iron, his blood-red eyes staring fixedly at Xin Yuelan.

"May I ask... my daughter Luo Tianying... she... is she..."

The last few words actually carried a trace of imperceptible trembling. This was his only Bloodline!

The air suddenly froze for a moment.

Xin Yuelan's brow furrowed slightly as scenes of the terrifying energy explosion at Dragon Fall Gorge flashed through her mind... indeed, from start to finish, she hadn't seen a sign of Luo Tianying.

She looked at this old devil before her, who was once high and mighty but was now like a desperate, trapped beast.

A rare, complex emotion that wasn't disdain arose in her heart.

"Elder Mad Extremity," Xin Yuelan's voice was low and clear,

"when we arrived at the battlefield, your daughter's whereabouts were already unknown.

Immediately after... we encountered an ambush by Yao Delong of the Yin Yang Sect!"

She paused deliberately to state the conclusion that was enough to make any devil's heart go cold:

"Ah Da... his Primordial Spirit was nailed and shattered by him using a secret technique; he has been utterly annihilated!"

Rumble—!

It was as if a million claps of thunder had exploded inside the Mad Extreme Demon Lord's head at the same time!

Yao Delong!? That trash from Luoxia Peak whose Spiritual Power Affinity test was only 2 points?!

The Mad Extreme Demon Lord's flared fangs almost bit through his lip!

If not for this ant, his Clone that had painstakingly lurked within the Yin Yang Sect—

he would have already refined the Clone and reached the Body Integration Realm! New and old hatred erupted together!

"This seat will take you, you little bastard..."

The Devilish Qi rolling around Mad Extremity instantly turned into sky-burning flames that soared into the air, and the rock beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, melting into crimson lava!

However, before the words 'tear apart' could be roared out, his demonic eyes, which were almost burning from extreme rage, suddenly froze—

Ah Da... is dead?

That unfathomable old monster who reportedly followed the Sect Master's wife from the Heaven Domain hundreds of years ago and mastered the Law of World Dust... was killed by Yao Delong???

A bone-chilling cold instantly doused the boiling fury!

The Mad Extreme Demon Lord's massive body swayed imperceptibly.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying Ah Da's combat power was!

If his Clone were still here and the two bodies integrated, he would have the confidence for a Peak battle. But now... his Clone was destroyed. Although his Foundation wasn't harmed, the Opportunity to advance to Body Integration was shattered, and his Realm was now only at the Late Void Refining Stage!

Facing Yao Delong, who could kill Ah Da... it would be suicide! Absolute suicide!!

"Hiss..." Having received confirmation again, Wan Bulei's face turned pale instantly as he sucked in a cold breath!

He was the personal Disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect's Great Protector, Sha Wuji, and knew many more secrets! Ah Da?

That was a terrifying existence of whom his Revered Master had personally said—'he is nearly invincible within the Void Refining Realm'!

He was actually... slain by Yao Delong?!

Warning bells rang frantically in Wan Bulei's heart; they could not stay here any longer!

"There's no time to lose! The Saintess's safety comes first!"

Wan Bulei suddenly surged up, pouring his Demonic Essence without reservation into a mysterious black bone banner he had hidden in his palm.

Immediately, a mournful wind howled, and demonic clouds filled the sky, swirling frantically around the bone banner!

"Wan Bulei, you..." The Mad Extreme Demon Lord was violently pushed away by the surging demonic clouds, and he tried to grab out in shock and anger!

Too late!

The rolling demonic clouds were like an inverted abyss bowl, instantly covering Xin Yuelan and Wan Bulei tightly!

The demonic banner glowed with blood-light, turning into a dark blood-line that was fast enough to tear through space, racing desperately toward the Northwest Demon Realm!

Only Wan Bulei's rushed and cold trailing voice scattered in the wind:

"Elder Mad Extremity! You have done well in searching for the Saintess! Once we return to the Demon Realm, I will personally claim credit for you before the Sect Master!

This place is dangerous! Don't let your emotions get the better of you... take care!"

BOOM!!!

A tyrannical pillar of black demonic energy exploded upward from beneath the Mad Extreme Demon Lord's feet,

completely blasting the huge cave where Xin Yuelan had just been hiding into fine powder!!

Amidst the pervasive dust, the Mad Extreme Demon Lord was like an out-of-control lava golem, letting out a shrill roar to the heavens that shook the entire mountain range:

"YAO—DE—LONG—!"

Hate! Heaven-encompassing hate! Bone-gnawing enmity!

The blood feud of his Clone! The unknown fate of his beloved daughter!

But the cold reality was like ten-thousand-year-old ice, pinning this world-burning fire of hatred deep within his chest to churn and burn, yet he was unable to vent it!

He could only watch as that desperate blood-line of light vanished into the distant horizon,

his massive armored body heaving and gasping in the mountain gale, like a dying Vicious Beast with its heart pierced by a poisonous spear.

"Tianying... Father will definitely save you... Yao Delong... Yin Yang Sect... I will grind you all into ash, bit by bit—!!!"

...Thousands of miles away. Ba Xia Dynasty, Rock Pass.

Yao Delong, turned into a red-gold stream of light, was rapidly flying over the majestic passes and fortresses of the Human Race.

The asura war puppet had been stored inside his ring. With his aura restrained, he looked like an ordinary Spirit Transformation Cultivator traveling,

except for the Yin Yang Taiji patterns on his specially made black robe, which flowed with an undying divine glow.

A palm-sized, semi-transparent phantom of a loli sat with one small leg crossed over the other,

perched grandly on his shoulder, chattering away at the winding rivers below.

Swoosh!

A spiritual power signal barrier, condensed from Yin Yang intersection talismans, suddenly rose from the direction of the main city of the pass below.

The light was soft but carried an unmistakable Sect command message!

Yao Delong's figure paused slightly as he lowered his flight.

"Which expert has arrived?"

Several streams of light quickly rose to meet him. Leading them was a lean young Cultivator in an inner Sect green robe, with a cultivation around Golden Core Perfection.

When they clearly saw Yao Delong's excessively young face and his dark green robe,

which was embroidered with gold thread in the unique cloud-seal patterns of a Yin Yang True Inheritance Core Disciple, their expressions suddenly became incredibly respectful!

"Greetings, Senior Brother Yao of the True Inheritance!"

Led by that Golden Core Perfection youth, they all bowed deeply in unison.

The movement created a rush of wind, and their eyes were filled with undisguised awe!

Yao Delong nodded calmly. This youth looked somewhat familiar; he should be a prized Disciple of a certain deacon from Fuyang Peak.

"May Senior Brother be well!" the youth said with a tone of excitement and solemnity.

"We are following the orders of Peak Master Li of my Peak and the Peak Revered Master of the Talisman Peak to patrol the passes and look out for Senior Brother's whereabouts!

The two Peak Revered Masters have ordered: if we encounter Senior Brother, please report your safety immediately!

And we ask Senior Brother to please make time to visit the nearest Yin Yang Sect outpost in 'Guanhai City'! There are extremely urgent matters that need to be asked of Senior Brother in person!"
