Chapter 165 The Extermination of the Song Family
"Master, why don't you seem worried at all?"
Han Yue didn't understand.
"No rush, no rush," Yunyi laughed. "Zhaozhao is fine. She must have gone to that place."
Han Yue: "Where?"
Yun Yi didn't tell her, "Han Yue, when the time is right, Master will tell you that you don't need to look anymore and can return to the sect."
Han Yue hesitated for a moment, "But I'm still worried..."
However, seeing how certain Yunyi was, she decided to listen to him.
"Master, I'll be returning to the sect soon. I'll keep an eye on things with the sect leader. What about you? Are you staying here?"
Han Yue looked at the children, knowing that Yun Yi wouldn't abandon them.
Back then, she and her senior brother Lu Mingdao were also taken in by their master.
Yun Yi sighed, "You know I'm worried about them. Here's what we'll do: you go back first, don't rush to investigate the aura of extinction on the sect leader. Wait for my news."
"By the way, this is a space created by one of my magical artifacts. My children and I came here to hide from the men in black."
"How did you get in? Did you notice the man in black when you came in?"
Han Yue thought for a moment, "No, there's no one here. I was sucked in by a vortex."
Yun Yi pondered, "My spiritual artifact has developed some self-awareness. It should recognize your aura and sense the danger, which is why it brought you in."
Han Yue stayed a while longer before reluctantly leaving. Once outside, she discovered that Qi Yan had sent her several message talismans.
She wanted to reply to Qi Yan, but received no response. Qi Yan used to reply instantly, and she suspected that Qi Yan was constantly watching the communication talisman, afraid of missing any messages.
"Could it be that he went to the secret realm to find Zhaozhao?"
Han Yue Zhenren ignored it and flew towards the sect on her sword. After she left, the two men in black appeared again.
"I clearly sensed someone was there, so why is no one here?"
"Could it be your imagination? You just said someone was coming, but we haven't found a single person. You're tired enough as it is every day, so don't talk nonsense!"
The man in black walked away cursing.
The other scratched his head, lost in self-doubt.
Meanwhile, Qi Yan and Xue Huairui arrived at the Demon-Slaying City. Before they even entered the city, they noticed something was amiss.
The number of guards at the city gates has more than doubled, and everyone entering the city is subject to strict checks. After queuing for half an hour, the line has only moved forward a tiny bit.
Qi Yan frowned and asked the person next to him what had happened in Demon-Slaying City.
"You must be from out of town. The Song family of Demon-Slaying City was wiped out a few days ago! The entire clan, not even a dog, was spared. The fire burned for a day and a night, and the entire Song mansion was reduced to ruins!"
Qi Yan was shocked and pressed for an answer: "Who did this? The Song family is powerful; who has the ability to wipe out the entire clan?"
"Who knows? Some say it's a demon, some say it's their enemy, there are all sorts of rumors."
Qi Yan looked grave, worried that the teleportation array to the Demon Realm might be destroyed.
Xue Huairui frowned. "When I went to find you, I passed through Demon-Slaying City. The Song family hadn't been wiped out yet. How could it be so sudden?"
After speaking, she paused, clearly thinking of the teleportation array as well. She exchanged a glance with Qi Yan, who then patted the person in front of her.
"Brother," Qi Yan said with a smile, "my sister is seriously ill and needs to go to the city for treatment urgently. Could we switch seats?"
As he spoke, he took out 10,000 spirit stones, and Xue Huairui pretended to be in pain.
"Sure, sure, come on, let's switch places."
Using their money, the two successfully got closer and closer to the city gate. The guards noticed their unusual behavior and came to inquire, but Qi Yan used this excuse to fool them.
Because the Song family may have been wiped out by the demon race, a demon-revealing mirror was brought to the city gate. Qi Yan's expression remained unchanged as he steadily passed by the demon-revealing mirror, which showed no change whatsoever.
At his level, these things are no longer useful.
After entering the city, the two went straight to the vicinity of the Song family. They saw that the once glorious Song mansion had become a ruin, and all the surrounding residents had moved away, leaving a desolate scene.
Xue Huairui glanced at it and said, "Follow me. Going in through the front door will attract attention. I know where the back door is."
The two entered the Song residence through the back door. Leaning against the ruins of the houses, they barely managed to find their way and headed towards the forbidden area.
The courtyard where the forbidden area was located also succumbed to the fire. Qi Yan saw that the plants that he and Yun Zhao had seen growing wildly due to the chaotic energy had been burned to ashes.
It seems someone has been here; the room has been ransacked. Fortunately, the formation for entering the forbidden area was not detected.
Qi Yan led Xue Huairui into the forbidden area, which was still desolate. Following Ma Gan's instructions, Qi Yan found the teleportation array.
When he came here with Yun Zhao last time and found the teleportation array, he discovered that it might have been contaminated with demonic energy because it had been activated many times.
Chaotic energy is a combination of demonic energy and spiritual energy; that's why they encountered it last time they came.
Xue Huairui was overjoyed and was about to activate it when she found that the teleportation array was not moving.
"Is it broken?"
Xue Huairui frowned, intending to check it out.
“Well,” Qi Yan touched his nose, “it’s not broken, the magic stone is just gone. Zhao Zhao and I took the magic stone last time.”
"The magic stones are all with Zhao Zhao, can we use spirit stones instead?"
Xue Huairui: "..."
Your Majesty, can't you please find someone else to like?!
This demon doesn't seem very clever!
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said irritably, "What do you think?"
Xue Huairui ignored Qi Yan and took out some magic stones to install in the array's grooves, and the array was activated.
How did she come to possess a magic stone? And how could she activate the demon race's formation?
Could she be a demon?!
Qi Yan suddenly realized this and began to feel a growing wariness towards Xue Huairui.
Zhao Zhao is the Palace Master of Lingxu Palace and hates the demon race the most. It's impossible for her to be friends with the demon race, so there's only one possibility.
Xue Huairui deliberately approached Yun Zhao.
Xue Huairui didn't even turn her head. "There's no need to be wary of me. I've known Zun... Zhaozhao for longer than any of you."
Qi Yan remained silent.
The teleportation array activated, and the two disappeared from their original spot. At the same time, True Person Hanyue sent a message talisman to Qi Yan, who would receive it in just one second.
The Demon Realm and the Monster Realm are very similar, and Qi Yan, being a member of the Monster Clan, did not feel any discomfort after entering.
Seeing this, Xue Huairui sped up, and she and Qi Yan raced towards the nearest city, intending to take a teleportation array to the imperial city.
As luck would have it, the closest city to them was Hidden Moon City.
Fortunately, today was the day the Hidden Moon City teleportation array was open. Xue Huairui knew the way well and went there, with Qi Yan following behind her.
When they arrived there, just as they were about to line up, Qi Yan saw a familiar face.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am? I am a disciple of the Demon God Palace!"
"We've got you arrested. If you resist again, we'll get serious!"
