The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

"Wan'er!"

"you dare!"

Two anxious and furious voices rang out simultaneously, accompanied by golden light and a blue shadow that seemed to tear through the air.

Noticing Ye Wanqing's unusual condition, Huai Jin's expression hardened slightly. Ignoring Xiao Feng's cold gaze, he carefully raised his hand, and soft white light gathered at his fingertips before returning to normal after a moment.

"Little sister!"

Jingheng examined Ye Wanqing's body from head to toe with a worried expression. He was relieved when he received a reassuring look from her. Then he turned to look at Xiao Feng, all the gentleness in his eyes vanished, leaving only a chilling coldness.

"I'll treat Wan'er's injuries; he's in your care now."

Huai Jin's eyes were slightly cold, and his voice was calm. Treating the life and death of a demon who had broken through the limits of the Divine Venerable Realm was just a very ordinary matter.

Jingheng's lips curled up, his handsome and wicked face devoid of any smile. Xiao Yuan, who suddenly met the eyes of the person in front of him, felt as if he were shrouded by a demon, and a great fear and pressure filled his heart.

"You...who are you?"

Why are these two calling Ye Wanqing "little sister"? She's supposed to be the Dragon Maiden of Destiny! When did two more Dragon Sons of Destiny appear?

No, this is impossible! How could someone from that realm be here?! If these two men are also that person's children, how can he possibly win?!

"He who harmed my little sister is guilty of an unforgivable crime."

In an instant, a vast expanse of golden holy power, like a surging tide, spread out from Jingheng as the center. The holy power carried an undeniable pressure, like an invisible giant hand, pressing down hard on Xiao Feng's body.

"Ugh—" Xiao Feng was forced to arch his body by the force, his knees slamming into the ground with a dull thud, and several fine cracks appeared in the hard ground.

At the same time, the originally powerful and thunderous demonic energy around him vanished in an instant. Looking at the situation around him, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Xiao Yuan's eyes, and he wanted to use the power of that drop of essence blood again.

But the moment those dark gray demonic energies appeared on the surface of their bodies, they were easily crushed by the golden waves, without even causing a ripple.

No, how could that be?

"Well--"

Blood spurted out, and his whole body began to contort.

Xiao Yuan's left shoulder was pierced by ice spikes conjured by Jing Heng, and his dantian was burned by the strange fire. He was in a sorry state, feeling both cold and hot, like a stray dog. However, the coldness in his eyes as he looked at Ye Wanqing was unyielding. He knew his fate today and seemed to share the same sense of destruction.

"Ye Wanqing, you don't actually think you've won, do you? Don't forget the tens of thousands of medicine-using soldiers behind me... ugh—"

Before the angry shout had even finished, Huai Jin had already taken a step forward, and the holy power in his palm exploded like the blazing sun. The golden light blade grazed past Xiao Yuan's ear and cleaved the boulder behind him into dust. Amidst the flying debris, half of his cheek was burned by the holy power, his skin and flesh turned outwards, making him look even more ferocious.

Ye Wanqing frowned slightly, her knuckles white as she gripped the sword hilt. For some reason, looking at Xiao Yuan in front of her, she felt an indescribable tremor in her heart. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she abruptly looked at the army of medicine men enveloped by her array not far away, and her pupils shrank sharply.

Xiao Yuan noticed Ye Wanqing's gaze, struggled to raise his head, blood and foam slid down the corner of his mouth, his voice hoarse yet carrying a chilling madness.

"Hahahaha, you've finally realized that the army of medicine men that used to be under Bo Jin's command is now all in my hands."

At the sealing array barrier, people who were not very familiar with each other turned into close friends and family, their faces contorted with rage, covered in blood, their eyes vacant, as they relentlessly devoured the barrier she had set up.

"Dragon Maiden of Destiny, Dragon Maiden of Destiny, they were your closest relatives and friends, and they even perished because of you. Heh heh, their lives are in my hands. I wonder if the swords under your hand still dare to show even a trace of their edge?"

The medicine figures within the formation seemed to sense something, and they all stirred. A faint ripple flickered in their empty eyes, as if they were struggling in pain.

"you dare--"

"elder brother!"

"Don't hurt them!"

Huaijin shook her head at Jingheng, Wan'er had her own ideas.

Ye Wanqing bit her lower lip tightly, stopping Jingheng beside her, and looked at Xiao Yuan with a calm yet cold gaze, "What do you want?"

"Heh heh, I don't want anything, I just want to see you sad and heartbroken! Ye Wanqing, you are a chosen one, high above all, blessed with endless heavenly fortune since birth. Anyone who knows your identity treats you with utmost respect! You are the Dragon Maiden of Destiny! How could you possibly know what we want!"

Xiao Yuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and his voice hoarse.

He was originally a paragon of righteousness. In his youth, he was chivalrous and courageous, with striking features. He believed in the righteousness of heaven and earth, that diligence would be rewarded, and that as long as one acted uprightly and sat honestly, heaven and earth would protect him.

His wife, Ayao, is the same. She believes that evil will never prevail over good, that the righteous path will prevail, and that evil forces will be eradicated from the world. She is kind, warm-hearted, sincere, and beautiful.

They knew and loved each other, but ultimately could not be together.

At that time, he and A Yao followed the Holy Temple, which was closest to the aura of the Heavenly Dao, to educate those who led demons, protect ordinary people, and drive out demons from the Heavenly Realm. They almost gave everything for the righteous path.

But what's the result? !

During one of his attempts to enlighten a demon, his pregnant wife was seriously injured and her pregnancy was threatened. He prayed to Dao Tian, ​​the master of the Holy Temple, hoping to resonate with the Heavenly Dao and obtain a sliver of its blessings to protect A Yao.

But he refused, and he could only watch helplessly as his wife died in childbirth.

Heaven and earth are silent, the Great Dao is ruthless.

He was devastated, filled with resentment, and frantically searched through ancient texts and sought elixirs from various sects, only to be met with the message, "His soul has been scattered; even the heavens could not save him."

The righteous path can protect all living beings and stabilize the world, but it cannot protect his Ayao or save his beloved.

The righteous path cannot save A Yao, but the demons from beyond the heavens can.

“I admire you. As long as you stay in the Heavenly Spirit Realm and pretend to be on good terms with the Holy Temple, and do things for my Heavenly Domain Demons, I will give you back a safe and sound A Yao after just ten things.”

From that time on, he followed the demons of the outer realms of the Heavenly Domain. On the surface, he was still Xiao Yuan, the head of the Xiao family who was on good terms with the Holy Temple. In fact, he had long stood on the opposite side of the Three Realms Domain.

He didn't care about the righteous path or the Three Realms, even if he was scorned by the world or suffered the consequences. He only wanted his A Yao to live.

“The Dragon Maiden of Destiny… Heh…” Xiao Yuan chuckled softly, his laughter filled with despair and resentment. “Why? Why were you born with the destiny of Heaven? Why are the rules of Heaven and Earth so unfair!”

"Heh~" Looking at Xiao Yuan, who was blinded by hatred, Ye Wanqing's heart stirred. She didn't know whether she felt pity for Xiao Yuan or was mocking herself. "If the rules of heaven and earth were truly in my favor, I wouldn't be here."

Looking at Ye Wanqing, who seemed to be surrounded by pity, Xiao Yuan's expression froze for the first time, but only for a moment before his eyes became cloudy again.

A deep, eerie voice kept echoing in his ears.

"Exterminate all the drug addicts, and I will guarantee the safety of your wife and children."

Xiao Yuan slowly stood up, his demonic aura surging wildly around him. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, filled with a resolute determination to destroy everything. A single sentence kept echoing in his mind.

Once those medicine-using people die, Ye Wanqing will have an emotional breakdown, the task the master gave me will be completed, A Yao will be resurrected, and Yu'er will also have a smooth life.

The surging demonic energy swirled in the sky, gradually forming a deep abyss vortex. The medicine man, feeling the pull of his bloodline, went mad and recklessly pierced the array barrier in a self-destructive manner, heading towards the center of the demonic energy.

With each inch the medicine man moved, his figure faded a little more.

Ye Wanqing's pupils contracted sharply, and her voice trembled, "No!"

Sensing the aura within the abyss vortex, even the usually composed Huai Jin couldn't help but feel startled. She exchanged a glance with Jing Heng beside her, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Those are the royal family of the demons from beyond the heavens.

They have actually found the next new master who will be reincarnated.

Now, there's trouble.

At the same time, Ningyu's fan-shaped spread unfolded, but she was unable to enter the center of the demonic energy.

"So what if we perish together? It's worth it to drag you 'relatives' down to hell with me! Hahahaha."

"father!"

A cry piercing through the air suddenly rang out, clearly reaching Xiao Yuan's ears, causing his hands to freeze for a moment.
