The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

The texture under his palm was solid, with distinct pieces. Yun Fuzhao counted them and exclaimed, "Good heavens, eight pieces!"

I didn't realize Yu Ze was so talented.

Her warmth emanated from her thin clothes, causing Yu Ze's breathing to quicken and his Adam's apple to bob impatiently.

Yun Fuzhao withdrew his hand and gave him high praise, "Very impressive."

Yu Ze showed no outward reaction, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that the tips of his ears were bright red.

“Those demons belong to Ying Tianjue.” Yun Fuzhao sensed the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he changed the subject.

"Yes. Qingfeng told me." Yu Ze paused, "Before I left, I told him to protect you, but he still almost got you into trouble..."

He narrowed his eyes, and demonic energy surged forth.

Yun Fuzhao waved his hand, "It's nothing, those demons can't hurt me."

Yu Ze disagreed, saying, "This time they were careless. I won't be leaving Brahma Palace for the next few days."

"According to you, the Brahma Palace is heavily guarded. How did those demons get in?"

In order to ensure the safety of all the cultivators in the past few days, Yu Ze has specially increased manpower, and every demon needs a token to enter and exit.

Yu Ze then realized the strangeness of the situation. "I knew Ying Tianjue would not be peaceful, so I specifically instructed Qingfeng to be wary of their demons. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to get in."

"That's weird."

Yun Fuzhao said in a low voice, "It's possible that there are problems within our sect."

Yu Ze understood her unspoken meaning, "What do you want to do?"

"so……"

*

Inside the Brahma Palace prison, Ying Tianjue's demons were handcuffed and shackled. They trembled, fearing not death but facing Yu Ze.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

“Even if we confess everything, he won’t let us go. We have to escape if we want to live.”

"Doesn't the Boundless Sword Sect have an inside man? Let him come and save us."

The Scaled Demons remained silent.

The other demons were filled with fear and trepidation. When they accepted this mission, they knew that the consequences of being captured would be unimaginable, but when they actually faced reality, they couldn't help but feel afraid.

Yu Ze was able to secure a prison position in the Brahma Palace in just a few days thanks to his ruthless and cruel methods. Any demon who dared to question him would be skinned alive and their tendons pulled out, then hung on the city gates as a warning to others.

"That woman is no pushover either. I should have known better than to agree to come..."

The Scaled Demon lifted his eyelids. "I've already contacted my inside man. He'll be here to rescue us soon."

Two hours passed, and the demon guarding them was dozing off in front of the cell.

In their anxious wait, they finally received their so-called inside man.

"I'll give you the key; whether you can escape or not is none of my business."

Xu Xiang didn't expect these demons to be so useless, unable to even deal with Yun Fuzhao.

The Scaled Demon was a little annoyed. "Don't forget that we are now partners."

"So what? Didn't I do what you told me to do?" Xu Xiang said sarcastically. "You bunch of good-for-nothings have time to threaten me, you might as well hurry up and escape. He looks like he's about to wake up."

With his chin resting on the demon guard who was under the influence of the bewitching incense, Xu Xiang's contempt was undisguised.

The Scaled Demon's eyes darkened, and he picked up the key to open the door.

Xu Xiang was about to make a sarcastic remark when a large hand grabbed his neck tightly. His expression changed, "You, you..."

"I may not be able to get rid of Yun Fuzhao, but getting rid of you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is enough."

The Scaled Demon grinned maliciously, his fingers tightening as he watched the man's face gradually turn purplish-black.

"Snapped--"

A sharp pain shot through his wrist, and he released his grip, falling to the ground, clutching his neck and breathing rapidly.

Several demons looked over and saw a woman leaning against the doorway, watching them with great interest.

"Yun Fuzhao?!"

Yun Fuzhao greeted them with a smile.

After a moment of realization, Xu Xiang staggered toward Yun Fuzhao. Gone was his previous arrogance. He said aggrievedly, "Sect Master, they want to kill me."

"What are you doing here?"

Without hesitation, Xu Xiang replied, "The Brahma Palace is too big. I accidentally got lost and ended up here."

"The Brahma Palace is indeed a bit too big." Yun Fuzhao agreed. Such a large place has thousands of rooms.

Yun Fuzhao couldn't find his room several times.

Seeing her seemingly convinced, Xu Xiang smirked and continued his fabrication, "These demons kept trying to lure me out to rescue them. I was caught off guard and fell into their trap..."

He spoke with such sincerity that he almost fooled himself.

Yun Fuzhao asked seriously, "Do you think I have some kind of illness?"

"what?"

"Otherwise, would you dare to use such rhetoric to fool me?" Yun Fuzhao's smile faded. "Do I look like someone who's easy to fool?"

Just then, Yu Ze walked in, his scrutinizing gaze sweeping over the group before finally settling on Yun Fuzhao.

When Ying Tianjue's demons saw him, they trembled in fear, like mice before a cat, hiding in a corner.

"I heard everything just now. You two are partners. When did the Boundless Sword Sect sever ties with Yingtian? How come I didn't know?"

Xu Xiang hesitated, not daring to look at her at this moment.

Yun Fuzhao turned to Yu Ze and asked, "How do you deal with traitors here?"

Speaking of this, Yu Ze became interested, "It depends on what type you like. Lately, I like to tie traitors to chairs and drip water on their foreheads."

The most cruel punishment is like water dripping on a stone, slowly watching your forehead rot away...

Yun Fuzhao shuddered, gaining a deeper understanding of the terror of Yu Zedao.

She's definitely not that cruel.

“That kind of punishment is too cruel,” Yun Fuzhao tilted his head. “We’ll be riding horses when we go back, so how about we tie you to the horse and drag you along?”

Xu Xiang gasped. "Your punishment sounds even more terrifying."

“Xu Xiang, is it?” Yun Fuzhao drew his Wuji sword, the tip pointing directly at Xu Xiang’s throat. “Tell me, who ordered you to do this?”

Xu Xiang's face showed inner turmoil; he couldn't afford to offend either side. But his own life was more important right now. Xu Xiang closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and said, "Yes—"

The moment he uttered the word, his eyes widened and he collapsed to the ground, a sharp sword piercing her throat.

His face still retained the expression he had when he was alive.

Yu Ze's face turned cold. "Chase them!"

Qingfeng behind him acknowledged the order, "Yes!"

Yun Fuzhao felt a chill run down his spine. Neither of them could sense the other's aura, which meant that the other's cultivation was clearly above theirs, which was quite frightening.

At first, she suspected Yu Nian'er was responsible, but the style didn't seem right. If it were her, Xu Xiang wouldn't be the only one dead by now.

Yun Fuzhao fell into deep thought and remained motionless for a long time. Yu Ze, however, thought she was frightened and reassured her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm here, you'll be fine."
