The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Seeing his dazed and silly appearance, a stark contrast to his previous boastful demeanor, Ye Feng couldn't help but lick his lips and sneak closer.

Su Qi was still staring blankly ahead, as if his mind had suddenly gone blank, until he felt breath on his face and he suddenly came to his senses.

As if by reflex, he leaned back, then swung a whip kick across the room.

But who is Ye Feng? He is someone who can kill a Loose Immortal who is above his level. Su Qi, whose cultivation is now suppressed and who is only at the Nascent Soul stage, is just a little kitten with its fur standing up in front of him.

He easily blocked it with his hand and successfully caught Su Qi's leg as it swung at him.

To prevent Su Qi from continuing his attack, he forcefully lifted Su Qi's legs up, causing Su Qi's entire body below the waist to dangle in the air, leaving him with nowhere to brace himself.

Su Qi tried to kick with his other foot, but Ye Feng twisted it slightly, causing Su Qi to jerk and cry out.

"Waaaaah... What are you doing? Let me go!"

"It's so soft, I don't want to let go, what should I do?"

"Go away, you pervert!"

"You've called me a pervert, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't do something perverted?"

Seeing him lick his lips and move closer to his toes, Su Qi felt a pang in his heart and his body went numb.

For the nth time, I miss that naive and easily fooled Ye Feng!

Just as he was about to use his trump card, a thunderous shout came from the sky.

"Ye Feng, hand over Su Qi!!!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ye Feng paused, a smile playing on his lips.

"It seems that Mufier and those women have come to rescue you!"

As he spoke, he let go of her hand.

"Let's go, let's go meet those women!"

Before Su Qi could agree, he reached out and lifted the man up.

……

Outside, two groups of people are facing off.

On one side is the Salvation Soldier Su Qi Alliance, led by the female protagonists. Behind each of them float several flying boats, and countless cultivators stand on the deck, watching them intently.

On the other side is the Anti-Holy Land Cultivation Alliance, led by members of the Hermitage.

Except for Elder Mu and his wife, the Ancient Origin Saintess, all the members of the hermitage inside were wearing animal masks.

Behind them were the anti-Holy Land forces they had gathered.

"What do you all mean by this? We have gathered here to resist the oppression of the Holy Land. If you don't want to help us, fine, but do you want to aid and abet the tyrant?"

Looking at the group of female protagonists, Mu Lao felt a chill run down his spine.

If these women were just ordinary cultivators, he wouldn't care about them, but these are all destined heroines with great fortune.

Now that the unified forces are attacking them, he feels like he is going against the will of Heaven.

No... no, destiny should be on my side. After all, the Emperor has been resurrected. The Emperor, who could communicate with the Heavenly Dao in ancient times, is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao's will.

Old Mu still doesn't know that the Emperor he painstakingly resurrected was neither the Heavenly Emperor nor Ye Feng, but a demon that took advantage of Ye Feng's broken heart.

Ying Muxue, dressed in a black robe with gold dragon patterns, stepped forward with a faint smile and cupped her hands in greeting.

"You've misunderstood. We've only come for one person. You attacked the Ye Clan earlier and took someone from a basement. This person has done us a favor, so please hand him over and we'll leave immediately!"

The old man's previous words were an attempt to intimidate people with righteousness.

Her response was to point out that this was a private matter and had nothing to do with anything else.

The members of the Hermitage naturally knew who Ying Muxue was referring to, but since the Emperor had captured her, they had no right to decide.

If they were in charge, they would have locked up Su Qi and searched his soul long ago.

After all, Su Qi had secretly done so many things to ruin their plans.

I thought there was an extremely terrifying force behind this, opposing the Secret Order, but it turns out there was only one person.

If they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have had to worry about anything and would have corrected their plans long ago.

"This person's identity is suspicious, and the Emperor is currently interrogating him. Are you all trying to forcibly seize him? Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's wrath?"

Some of Ye Feng's lackeys, having latched onto him, started to act arrogantly and intimidatingly.

"Ha, what can a mere self-proclaimed emperor do when he's angry? If he doesn't hand over the baby today, I, Qian Sha, will fight him to the death!"

Ning Hongyu didn't have a good impression of Ye Feng to begin with, so she naturally spoke rudely.

"Who's so arrogant?" a calm voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ye Feng standing in a courtyard, holding a struggling person in his hand.

"Baby!"

"Su Qi!"

"asshole!"

"Rebel!"

"Xiaoyun!"

"Heartless Junior Brother!"

"Owner!"

"Ye Feng, let him go!"

Hearing this series of different titles, Ye Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips and send a telepathic comment.

You have so many nicknames for me!

"None of your business! Let me go!"

Ye Feng ignored him, looked up at the sky, and said something that left all the female protagonists speechless.

"He's already mine, you can go back now!"

Su Qi, who was struggling, froze for a moment, then split open and hurriedly looked up at the sky.

"I didn't do it, I didn't do it, don't listen to his nonsense."

"Hehe, if you don't believe me, I can prove it to you right here!"

As he spoke, he pulled Su Qi into his arms.

This shocked not only the female lead, but also the members of the secret order.

So it turns out... the Emperor actually...

"Hahaha, beauties have always been only meant for the strong. A powerful figure like the Emperor is naturally a perfect match for this fairy."

Those who didn't know Su Qi's true gender immediately started flattering him.

As the female protagonists recovered from their shock, some of them couldn't help but speak up.

"Get your filthy hands off me!" Ning Hongyu's eyes blazed with fury as she drew her sword and launched an attack.

Upon seeing this, Ying Muxue disregarded the plan and immediately ordered the operation to begin.

Without Ye Feng giving any orders, the members of the Hidden Cult automatically stepped forward to block the female protagonists.

The others followed suit.

A great battle was about to break out, and the sky instantly turned into a chaotic battlefield.

Ye Feng showed no intention of making a move and simply watched quietly.

Seeing that he didn't do anything further, Su Qi felt somewhat relieved.

Following his gaze to the sky, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he looked abruptly at Ye Feng, gradually narrowing his eyes as he transmitted his thoughts.

"You want to use these women to eliminate the Secret Order?"

Ye Feng didn't answer, but the slight upturn of his lips gave Su Qi the answer.

The members of the Hermitage are loyal only to the Celestial Emperor.

But Ye Feng is no longer the Heavenly Emperor; he is merely a demon within himself.

If the Hidden Cult discovers him, they will surely try to suppress or eliminate him and reawaken the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if Ye Feng can continue to play the role of the inner demon, there will eventually come a time when Ye Feng's true form or the Heavenly Emperor awakens.

In case they happen to have a brief moment of lucidity and reveal the truth to everyone.

Wouldn't Ye Feng be doomed then?

Moreover, if he follows Su Qi's plan, will the Heavenly Emperor let him go after he escapes from Ye Feng's body?

At that time, these members of the hermitage will obey the orders of the Heavenly Emperor and become his henchmen in his hunt.

Even if Ye Feng is the one who wakes up in the end, the members of the Hidden Cult will still not let him off the hook as a fraudster.

Since we'll become enemies sooner or later, why not strike first?
