The Emperor of Yue

Seeing that the Ice Demon was dead, Li Yunfan couldn't help but smile slightly. He walked to the pile of ice shards and poked at them with his sword, revealing a blue pill buried inside.

He reached out and took it in his hand, played with it briefly, and then put it into his storage bag. Just as he looked up, he saw Han Li strangely toss away a crystal-clear ice claw he was holding.

"Is there something wrong with these crampons?" Li Yunfan walked up to Han Li and asked curiously.

"No problem. If you want it, senior brother, just take it!" Han Li shook his head and looked at Li Yunfan with a strange expression.

"Sure!" Li Yunfan said nonchalantly, waving his hand to put away the ice claw.

Han Li watched as his elder brother so easily accepted the ice claw, and couldn't help but admire him. The ice claw was indeed an excellent material for refining weapons, but it was, after all, made by human hands, and he felt a little uneasy using it himself.

But Li Yunfan accepted it without any psychological burden, as if he had never thought that it was originally a human hand. How could Han Li, who could not overcome his inner conflict, not admire him?

The two then flew into the air on their magical artifacts, and the others immediately surrounded them, praising Li Yunfan and Han Li. The two smiled slightly and responded humbly.

Just then, two angry roars suddenly came from below, startling everyone, who hurriedly looked down.

The two blood cocoons were growing larger and deforming, as if the blood servants inside were about to complete their demonic transformation and break free of the cocoons.

Apart from Li Yunfan, everyone else looked rather grim. At this moment, Liu Jing's true treasure had not yet been fully activated. If the two blood servants came out, they would have no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to resist them, in order to buy some time for Liu Jing.

Just as everyone was preparing to take action, Liu Jing's calm voice came from behind them.

"Thank you all, Dharma protectors. Now, leave the rest to me!"

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they quickly turned around to look. They saw Liu Jing dragging a small, exquisite red bird, looking at them with a smile on his lips.

Then Liu Jing slowly stood up, flew to Li Yunfan and the others, looked down at the two blood cocoons that were changing direction, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, gently blew on the little bird in his hand, and the little bird immediately let out a clear chirp, flapped its wings and flew out of his palm, flying straight down.

At this moment, the two blood cocoons burst open with a "bang," and two completely different-looking demons jumped out of the blood cocoons and roared wildly, their faces full of madness, looking completely out of their minds.

The two demons looked up at the crowd, only to find a small red bird flying towards them. The madness on their faces froze, and then they showed extreme fear. A flash of blood-red light appeared on their bodies, and they actually tried to run away.

However, after the little bird flew into the air, its body suddenly swelled up and transformed into a giant bird about ten feet long, with flames burning on its body. With a flap of its wings, it appeared behind a fleeing monster as if by teleportation, and gently pecked at it with its sharp beak.

The monster was instantly engulfed in flames, the scorching flames soaring six or seven zhang high. Before it could even scream, it was burned to a pile of white ash.

Then the firebird flapped its wings again and appeared behind another monster in the same way, burning it to ashes as well. Then it let out a loud cry, soared into the sky, and finally disappeared into nothingness in the air.

Looking at the dissipating firebird, Liu Jing's eyes showed a hint of heartache, but when he heard the praise from the others, the feeling of regret in his heart disappeared instantly.

"Let's go! Next up is the leader of the Black Fiend Cult!" Liu Jing said with a wave of his hand, full of pride.

Now that they have killed all the Blood Servants, only the Black Fiend Cult leader remains, and since none of them have been harmed, they naturally have no fear whatsoever.

The others then followed Liu Jingfei down, but Li Yunfan did not follow. Instead, he looked at a man not far away, who was Xue Hong's Daoist partner.

At this moment, the other party was staring blankly at a certain spot below, looking somewhat strange.

Han Li also noticed the other party's strangeness at this time, so he followed the other party's gaze and saw that apart from the corpses of the Black Fiend Cult members, there was only the white ash of the two demons on the ground.

Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly felt his arm being pulled. Turning around, he saw Li Yunfan shaking his head slightly. Although he didn't know why, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Senior Brother Liu, wait for us!"

As soon as Li Yunfan and Han Li landed, they heard a sweet voice coming from the sky.

Liu Jing and the others naturally heard the sound as well, and couldn't help but stop and turn around to look in the direction of the sound. They saw Zhong Weiniang and Chen Qiaoqian, as well as a middle-aged man with a pale face and wearing golden clothes, slowly descending from the sky.

"It seems your two junior sisters had a successful trip. This must be the Emperor of Yue!" Liu Jing greeted them with a smile, sizing up the middle-aged man before speaking.

"Yes! When we entered some kind of hall, this guy was summoning some officials. My junior sister Chen and I went up and knocked him unconscious. At that time, two Black Fiend Sect disciples rushed out to stop us, but my senior sister and I easily dealt with them!" Zhong Weiniang said with a smile.

At this moment, Li Yunfan was carefully examining Yue Huang. Even with his current divine sense, he could not sense the other party's cultivation level, nor could he detect even a trace of danger.

"You hid so well, no wonder you were able to fool so many Foundation Establishment cultivators. But it's a pity you've run into me!" Li Yunfan thought to himself.

"Senior brother, you..."

Just as Zhong Weiniang was about to ask Liu Jing if he was injured, Li Yunfan waved his right hand, and six black daggers shot out, heading straight for the Yue Emperor, who looked panicked.

His actions startled everyone, and Liu Jing's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly pulled out his magical artifact to block him.

"Ding ding..."

Six metallic clanging sounds rang out as a golden longsword blocked the six black beams.

"Junior Brother Li, what are you doing!" Liu Jing asked Li Yunfan with a look of shock and anger.

The others also unleashed their magical artifacts, targeting Li Yunfan. Although they didn't know why he suddenly attacked the Yue Emperor, this strange behavior still made everyone wary.

Although Han Li was also somewhat confused, he chose to trust Li Yunfan, and he was the only one who stood by Li Yunfan's side without showing any wariness.

Upon seeing this scene, the Yue Emperor's face showed even greater panic, as if he were truly afraid that Li Yunfan would kill him.

"Sigh! Senior brothers, haven't you noticed anything strange about this Yue Emperor? If I'm not mistaken, he should be the leader of the Black Fiend Sect!" Li Yunfan sighed.

"What?"

Everyone was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly moved away from Emperor Yue. However, upon closer inspection, they found nothing suspicious about him, and there was no trace of magical power emanating from him. He was clearly just an ordinary person.
