Gu Yao never expected that he could be disturbed while he was sleeping. The deafening explosions of spiritual energy outside were so loud that it was impossible for him to sleep, and even his remote place was affected.

Slowly getting out of bed, Gu Yao felt that he hadn't slept very well. His dream was bizarre and fantastical, but when he woke up, he couldn't remember a single detail.

Pushing open the door, Gu Yao looked up at the two people fighting.

The one in all black is Shen Zhezhu, and the one in all white... is that... Fourth Senior Brother?!

Gu Yao frowned, not expecting his fourth senior brother to come to him first.

Despite his anxiety, Gu Yao was helpless.

After all, at this moment, he was nothing but a cripple.

Gu Yao clenched his fists, looked up at the battle situation, and felt worried.

Fourth senior brother, please don't let anything happen to you.

Gu Ce gripped the Heavenly Star Sword, his eyes icy, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Shen Zhezhu. "Beast, hand over Junior Brother! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Shen Zhezhu pressed down on the restless Wujue Sword, his gaze fixed on the person in front of him, his eyes deep and serious.

He genuinely couldn't understand why a defeated opponent could be so arrogant in front of him.

Who gave him the courage?

Who gave him the confidence?

Gu Ce's gaze sharpened as he looked at the young man who didn't even draw his sword, and his expression darkened.

In the cultivation world, most people are sword cultivators, so their natal weapon is usually a spirit sword. Whether fighting or sparring, using a spirit sword is the most basic form of respect.

But now, Shen Zhezhu is unwilling to even draw his sword.

This is a great insult to Gu Ce.

The Heavenly Star Sword's momentum was like a rainbow, but Shen Zhezhu still did not draw the sword. Instead, he covered his palm with spiritual power, turning his palm into a blade to meet the attack head-on!

Gu Yao leaped onto a peach blossom branch, startling the fallen petals that carpeted the ground.

He stood steadily on the branch, watching from afar as the two people's spiritual energy exploded in the sky, fighting from one side of the barren mountain to the other, all the way towards the main hall of the Earth Demon Palace.

Gu Yao hurriedly followed.

If Gu Ce dies, he will never forgive himself.

Thinking this, Gu Yao gathered his strength in his feet and darted towards the main hall.

Fortunately, Shen Zhezhu had been in his own courtyard for the past few days and had removed all the guards, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.

No matter how fast he moved, he couldn't keep up with the two streaks of light in the air. Gritting his teeth, Gu Yao could only gather his strength and speed up.

Standing atop the main hall, Gu Yao watched as the white rainbow of spiritual light exploded, directly destroying a courtyard in the distance with a deafening roar that attracted all the surrounding demons.

Gu Yao was anxious and dared not move his eyes even slightly, because he was really afraid that all these people would rush up and attack Gu Ce together.

Gu Ce's cultivation level is high, but he is... a bit inferior to Shen Zhezhu.

Fortunately, the two were locked in a fierce battle, and none of the demons dared to step forward for the time being.

If you were hit even slightly by the murderous aura of these two, you would instantly ascend to immortality.

Gu Yao watched the two fight fiercely and felt a little itchy to join in, but his body was in such a state of disrepair.

harm.

He rubbed his fingertips together and could only sigh regretfully.

The two of them were surrounded by surging spiritual energy and flew a little further away. Gu Yao couldn't help but lightly touch the ground with his toes and stand steadily on the eaves.

This stop was significant; it exposed him to everyone.

When all eyes were on him, Gu Yao realized just how conspicuous his position was.

The two people fighting in the distance naturally saw it as well.

Gu Ce was overjoyed. He sheathed his Heavenly Star Sword and met Shen Zhezhu's palm with his own. The powerful spiritual energy blasted the two of them away. Gu Ce smiled triumphantly and retreated. He then unleashed another palm strike of spiritual energy, slamming it down on Shen Zhezhu and forcing her to fly backward again.

Gu Ce didn't linger in the fight. He still remembered why he had come here today. He turned around, stepped onto the Heavenly Star Sword, and rushed towards Gu Yao.

A fierce wind swept across the eaves, and the slender young man in white looked like a leaf in the wind, easily blown away.

Shen Zhezhu watched from afar and saw Gu Ce reach out and grab Gu Yao.

He was already agitated today because of the conflict with Gu Yao, and now he was even more unable to control himself. His eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he grabbed the hilt of the sword behind his back. The Wujue Sword was already itching to be used.

Gu Yao, who was grabbed onto the Heavenly Star Sword, was completely dumbfounded. He then saw Shen Zhezhu rushing towards the two of them, his fingertips already wrapped with wisps of black energy.

There was a hint of red in their eyes.

Gu Yao's expression hardened.

How could he have forgotten about this?

Shen Zhezhu was corrupted by demonic energy in the secret realm and became the current Demon Lord. However, his demonic energy did not corrupt his spiritual power. Instead, it coexisted with his spiritual power and complemented each other. They were usually separate.

Just like last time at the Hehuan Sect, Shen Zhezhu used spiritual power to fight his enemy, and it will be the same today.

But just because he doesn't use it regularly doesn't mean he doesn't know how to use it.

In the novel, the male protagonist is lucky enough to survive and always encounters some great opportunities, and the Wujue Sword is one of them.

But this is a demonic sword, a demonic sword that amplifies negative emotions infinitely.

Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but right now this person is clearly emotionally unstable and has inner demons, so he's likely to suffer a backlash.

Gu Yao was anxious and quickly advised, "Shen Zhezhu, don't do anything rash!"

Shen Zhezhu grinned as he looked at Gu Yao's anxious face. His fingertips paused for a moment, then suddenly his head throbbed with pain, and his face contorted in pain.

Do you think he's worried about you?

Don't be silly, he just wants to escape with his senior brother, to get away from you.

Look at them, they grew up together, their bond is deep and strong, what business is it of yours, an outsider?

[Draw your sword! Use me to kill Gu Ce and reclaim my master!]

Gu Yao was anxious and wanted to see what was wrong with Shen Zhezhu who had suddenly stopped, but Gu Ce wouldn't let this good opportunity pass by. He grabbed Shen Zhezhu and rushed out.

Once they leave the territory of the Earth Demon Palace and the suppression of the spirit array is gone, he can use the teleportation jade slip to bring Xiao Yao back to the Heavenly Qian Sect!

Before Gu Yao could even speak, Gu Ce grabbed him by the collar and dragged him away.

Watching the two figures walk away side by side, Shen Zhezhu stood there with an unreadable expression, his lifeless eyes fixed on the receding rainbow light.

See? He said he was anxious, but he still followed his senior brother.

Draw your sword, leave him here, leave him to belong only to you!

Shen Zhezhu didn't move; he was waiting for Gu Yao to turn around, but she didn't.

He did not turn around.

The boy lowered his eyelashes, looking somewhat aggrieved, and then reached for the hilt of his sword, summoning the sword that was enveloped in wisps of black energy.

In an instant, the celestial phenomena changed!

Gu Yao's face also turned pale.

He knew that Shen Zhezhu had drawn his sword!
