Even hybrid monsters have their day

As a being of all spirits, she could ignore most barriers, but she didn't know if she could enter this barrier, since the barriers of the demon realm might not be the same as those of the human realm.

To her surprise, her hand went in without any resistance. Her face lit up with joy, and she walked right in.

The scenery inside the barrier was completely different from that outside; they were two entirely different worlds. While the outside was filled with demonic energy, at least one could still see flowers, plants, and trees. But here, all that could be seen was an endless expanse of fiery red rocks, beneath which churning lava emitted scorching heat. Above, the sky was a fiery red, like lava itself, stretching to the horizon as if ignited by something.

The intense demonic energy made it almost impossible for her to breathe. She took several deep breaths and circulated her qi to expel the demonic energy from her body before she felt a little better.

Looking at this hellish scene, Geng Miaowan suddenly thought of a place: could this be the Demon Realm...?

It's unbelievable that this barrier actually contains the gate to the Demon Realm. Opening the gate to the Demon Realm on Mount Buzhou must have taken a great deal of effort from Haotian.

Several demon soldiers approached from afar, and Geng Miaowan quickly dodged them. Only after they had passed did she emerge from behind a rock. Her gaze locked onto a spot, and she moved directly towards it.

From the moment she entered the Demon Realm, she sensed that aura. It was intermittent and very faint, yet unmistakably their presence. Geng Miaowan wished she could grow wings and fly there immediately.

However, having regained her strength, she moved swiftly, and soon arrived at a place filled with strange rocks and ravines, the aura emanating from this place. She looked around; there was no one there. It seemed no different from the places she had passed through before.

She probed the area, but there were no energy fluctuations. This indicated that there was no other space here.

Geng Miaowan circled around several times before finally spotting a clue in an inconspicuous place. She reached out and touched it, revealing a doorway in a large rock. It was only wide enough for one person to pass through, leading directly underground.

She looked down, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. However, she wasn't afraid. She made a hand seal, and flames made of spiritual energy instantly appeared at her fingertips. She walked down into the ground step by step.

The passage wasn't long, and there weren't any messy tunnels; there was only one. It led straight inside.

At the end of the passage were several small rooms, each with its door closed. Geng Miaowan cautiously approached the door, suppressing her excitement, and peered inside.

A handsome man was locked inside by several iron chains, two of which pierced straight through his shoulder blades. The blood on his body had long since dried, indicating that he had been imprisoned for a long time.

Seemingly sensing the movement at the door, the man said without looking up, "Forget about it. I have nothing to tell you."

He kept his head down, his long hair obscuring his face. But the voice was one that Geng Miaowan knew all too well. She was startled, gripping the iron gate, and whispered, "Peng Yuxian, is that you?"

The person inside froze, abruptly raising their head to see Geng Miaowan's face through the window. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. "Miaowan... is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, it's me. Wait a moment, I'm coming to save you!" Geng Miaowan said, breaking the lock on the door and entering the room.

Peng Yuxian looked even more disheveled than she had seen him from outside, yet even so, it did not diminish the refined and elegant air he exuded. Messy chains crisscrossed his body, mixed with dried blood, making him resemble an angel who had mistakenly fallen into hell.

Just then, a weak voice came from outside, "Girl, girl, is that you?"

"Ao Xuan!" Geng Miaowan's face lit up with joy, and she quickly ran towards the source of the sound, finding Huangfu Ao Xuan in a house. Huangfu Ao Xuan was locked in a strange thing, somewhat like a cage, but not an ordinary metal cage; it looked more like something made of some kind of energy.

Seeing Huangfu Aoxuan still alive and locked in the cage, she was overwhelmed with emotion, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"What is this?"

What puzzled her even more was that next to the cage was something that looked like a control panel, with a light flashing on it. It looked like some kind of modern device, except that this device was not powered by electricity, but by magic.

But she hadn't forgotten that this was ancient times; how could such a thing exist?

"I know how to drive it, just do as I say."

Geng Miaowan glanced at him in surprise, wanting to ask him how he knew how to open it, but considering their current situation, she decided to get out of here first.

"Are you all alone? Where are Aohan and Aoran?" She did as Huangfu Aoxuan asked, while taking the time to talk to him.

“They’re being held in another place. I’ll take you to them later. I was temporarily transferred here; he was already here when I arrived.”

"Why?" Geng Miaowan naturally knew who Huangfu Aoxuan was referring to when he said "he". Besides himself, the only other person here was Peng Yuxian.

"do not know……"

As they spoke, the cage was opened, and Huangfu Aoxuan quickly jumped out. He wasn't seriously injured, but the device had drained much of his spiritual energy, and he would need some time to recover.

As soon as he came out, Geng Miaowan took him into her sea of ​​consciousness. In the sea of ​​consciousness, the spiritual energy in her body could replenish him, and Xu Ruwen recovered a lot because of this.

"How exactly did he capture you?"

"To be honest, we were too careless. Do you know what this is?" Huangfu Aoxuan asked as he sat down to regulate his breathing.

"What is it?"

"This is the cage that Peng Yuxian used to imprison Luan Hao in that vampire's space last time. It can trap a person's mental energy inside and continuously deplete it."

"Huh? How could something like this be here?" Geng Miaowan was taken aback. She hadn't seen the device that time, but she had heard them talk about it later. But how could something from that space be here?

She simply couldn't understand this. (To be continued.)
