Rebirth of Jinxuan

"Shangguan Yu!" Zhang Yuxi spat out these three words through gritted teeth, his anger almost burning him to ashes. "Are you going to get involved in this too?"

Shangguan Yu remained expressionless, but tightened his grip. "When demons wreak havoc, everyone has the right to kill them. Zhang Yuxi, surrender now, and perhaps we can still leave you with a whole corpse."

Zhang Yuxi was filled with resentment, but she was unable to break free from Shangguan Yu's control.

He watched helplessly as Wang Yueming approached step by step, his heart filled with anxiety.

Damn it, that old bastard is clearly trying to take advantage of the situation and steal Hang'er's demon core!

This Wang Yueming usually appears righteous and speaks of benevolence and morality, but I never expected him to be such a despicable and shameless person in private!

To improve his cultivation level, he wouldn't even spare a child!

"Wang Yueming, you are unworthy of being the head of a hall! How dare you lay a hand on a child! Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?" Zhang Yuxi roared, his voice echoing through the valley.

Wang Yueming remained unmoved, a sinister smile on his face. "The victor is king, the loser is villain; it's always been this way. As long as we can get the demon core, what do we care about others' opinions?" As he spoke, his greedy gaze fell on Lu Yuhang, as if he could already see the demon core emitting a shimmering light.

Seeing this from afar, Qingfeng secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.

He knew Wang Yueming's character well; once he became greedy, he would stop at nothing.

Although he was worried that this matter would affect the relationship between the Alchemy Hall and the royal family, he couldn't care less about that at the moment.

He strode to Muwei's side and said in a deep voice, "Hall Master Muwei, Wang Yueming's actions are going too far! If he really dares to harm that child, I'm afraid it will cause a great war between the demon race and the human race!"

Mu Wei nodded solemnly. "Elder Qingfeng is absolutely right. Wang Yueming, you'd better think twice before you act. That child has a special identity; if you hurt him, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Wang Yueming's eyes.

But he quickly suppressed his hesitation, letting out a cold snort. "It's none of your business to tell me what to do! Today, no one will stop me!" He abruptly turned to an old man behind him and shouted, "Elder, go to the military camp outside the city immediately and gather troops! Tell them... tell them these people are plotting something sinister, intending to rebel..."

As soon as Wang Yueming finished speaking, Qingfeng and Muwei's expressions changed drastically.

They never imagined that Wang Yueming would be so ruthless and insane in order to obtain the demon core, resorting to fabricating lies and accusing everyone of treason!

"Wang Yueming! Have you gone mad?!" Qingfeng was furious, his finger trembling as he pointed at Wang Yueming. "For a mere demon core, you'd actually frame a loyal and honest person, disregarding the people of the world?!"

Muwei also said in a deep voice, "Master Wang, aren't you afraid of playing with fire and getting burned by acting like this!"

Wang Yueming, however, laughed loudly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "What a joke! As long as I can get the demon core and improve my cultivation, I would be willing to go to hell!" His eyes flashed with a crazy light, as if he were possessed.

At this moment, Zhang Yuxi, who was firmly restrained by Shangguan Yu, was extremely anxious.

He tried his best to break free of the restraints, but he could not shake Shangguan Yu.

As he watched Elder Wang Yueming leave to carry out his orders, his heart turned cold.

If the army outside the city really arrives, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Just then, Qingyuan moved.

She moved with lightning speed, appearing instantly beside Lu Yuhang, scooping him up in her arms, and then fleeing into the depths of the valley without looking back.

"Where do you think you're going!" Upon seeing this, Wang Yueming was furious and immediately gave chase.

"Wang Yueming, your opponent is me!" Zhang Yuxi roared, his demonic power suddenly erupting, causing Shangguan Yu to retreat repeatedly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he broke free from his restraints and stood in front of Wang Yueming.

"Zhang Yuxi, you're asking for death!" Wang Yueming roared and engaged Zhang Yuxi in a fierce fight.

Both were experts; in an instant, sand and stones flew and strong winds howled through the valley.

Seeing this, Qingfeng and Muwei tried to stop it, but they couldn't get involved at all.

They could only watch helplessly as the Grand Elder disappeared into the end of the valley, their hearts filled with worry and fear.

“Wang Yueming, aren’t you afraid of doing this…” Mu Wei was interrupted harshly by Wang Yueming before she could finish speaking.

"Shut up!" Wang Yueming's face was contorted with rage, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Today, no one can stop us!" He suddenly intensified his attack, forcing Zhang Yuxi to retreat repeatedly.

Zhang Yuxi inwardly cried out in alarm. Although he was powerful, he was ultimately outnumbered. If this continued, he feared…

He glanced in the direction Qingyuan had fled, and silently prayed that she could escape safely with Hang'er.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from outside the valley...

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder as they approached, raising clouds of dust and breaking the standoff in the valley.

Wang Yueming's offensive faltered, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Reinforcements?

So fast?

He was secretly alarmed. Could it be that Shangguan Yu had made preparations in advance?

"Wang Yueming, you have acted against the natural order, today is your day of death!" Qingfeng shouted sternly as he saw reinforcements arrive.

Wang Yueming sneered, "Death? With these shrimp soldiers and crab generals? You're dreaming!" A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, "Even if I die here today, I'll drag you down with me!" With that, he attacked Zhang Yuxi again, each move ruthless and merciless.

Zhang Yuxi was exhausted and extremely anxious. He knew that once the imperial army arrived, they would have no chance of escape. He had to find a way to get away!

"Qingfeng, Muwei, stop him!" Zhang Yuxi shouted, and taking advantage of Wang Yueming's distraction, he flashed away and chased after the direction where the Grand Elder had disappeared.

Muwei tried to stop the Grand Elder, but was held back by Wang Yueming's men and couldn't break free.

"Wang Yueming! You've gone mad! For a mere demon core, you're willing to put the entire imperial city's inhabitants in danger!" Qingfeng roared, his eyes filled with grief and indignation.

He never expected that Wang Yueming would be so heartless and insane, disregarding the lives of ordinary people for his own selfish desires!

Wang Yueming laughed loudly: "Common people? They're nothing but ants! How can their lives compare to my cultivation!" His eyes flashed with a crazed light, as if he had been possessed by a demon.

Zhang Yuxi sped along and finally caught sight of the Grand Elder.

He followed cautiously behind the elder, not daring to make the slightest sound.

He knew that the Grand Elder was going to mobilize the army.

If he succeeds in mobilizing troops, the consequences will be unimaginable!

He must stop him!

Muwei watched Zhang Yuxi walk away and the Grand Elder disappear into the distance at the end of the valley, his heart burning with anxiety. He knew all too well that once the imperial army arrived, the consequences would be unimaginable!

He glanced at Qingfeng, who was being held up by Wang Yueming's men, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Qingfeng, hold them off!" Muwei shouted, then turned and whispered to the people hidden in the woods behind him, "Proceed according to plan!"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng was startled, but then he understood Muxu's intention. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Brothers, let's fight them!"

Muwei looked at the chaotic crowd, a cold smile appearing on his lips. He slowly walked to Qingfeng's side and whispered, "Let's go too."

Qingfeng nodded, and the two of them, along with their men, headed in another direction, gradually disappearing into the night.

However, several dark figures silently followed behind them...

"Master, they seem to be..." A subordinate pointed in the direction Muwei and Qingfeng had left, hesitating to speak.

Muwei stopped and looked back, a cold glint flashing in her eyes: "Follow them."

Muwei and Qingfeng disappeared into the night, leaving behind only a few deliberately hushed commands.

"Remember, you must stop the Grand Elder, no matter what!" The experts from Wangyue Hall, who had been lurking in the shadows, dispersed like ghosts and disappeared into the night, waiting for their prey to appear.

On the surface, it appears that the forces of Wangyuetang have withdrawn, but in reality, their elite forces remain hidden around the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Meanwhile, Wang Yueming had already found Qingyuan. He looked at Qingyuan, who was facing off against him, and felt apprehensive.

The eerie aura emanating from the woman made him hesitant to make any rash moves.

He stared greedily at the "little dumpling" behind her. As long as he obtained the demon core and refined it into an unparalleled demon core, he could break through the bottleneck and achieve supreme dominance!

Qingyuan tightly protected Lu Yuhang and Qian Feng behind her, watching Wang Yueming's every move warily.

She knew that she had to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Taking advantage of Wang Yueming's hesitation, Qingyuan picked up the two little dumplings, and in a flash, ran towards the less crowded area.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Wang Yueming realized what was happening, roared, and leaped after him.

He reached out to grab Qingyuan's collar, but his hand got tangled in the hem of her clothes.

Qingyuan moved with incredible speed; the hem of her clothes sliced ​​across Wang Yueming's cheek like a blade, leaving a bloody mark.

Wang Yueming stumbled and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Enraged, he got up again, only to find that Qingyuan had already disappeared into the night.

"Damn it!" Wang Yueming roared, smashing a boulder beside him with a single palm strike, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

At the same time, Muwei and Qingfeng also quietly changed direction and chased after the direction where Qingyuan disappeared.

Muwei's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "That little demon must not fall into the hands of others..."

Qingyuan moved with lightning speed, weaving through the night like a black phantom.

She held Lu Yuhang and Qian Feng tightly, feeling their even breathing, and felt a little more at ease.

Wang Yueming's greedy eyes sent chills down her spine. She had to protect these two children, even if it cost her own life.
