Master Qinglian's angry shout, filled with powerful true energy, sounded like rolling spring thunder, and it finally woke everyone up.

Meng Qingchen forcibly interrupted the Seven Killings Formation, but was attacked by the formation and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

But he didn't even dare to wipe the blood away, and immediately knelt on the ground with Qin Nanhuai and Gu Yue, not daring to move.

Master Qinglian heard a crying sound. He turned around and saw an unidentified object lying on the ground.

The person's face was bruised and swollen. If it weren't for the familiar crying sound, Master Qinglian would have almost not recognized him. The unidentified object was actually his junior disciple, Lu Jinxin.

"Master, how could it be you?"

Looking again, Meng Qingchen saw her second senior brother and junior sister, who were seriously injured.

For a moment, all three of them were dumbfounded.

They then realized that they seemed to have been tricked.

"Master, I'm in so much pain, my whole body hurts."

Lu Jinxin was brutally beaten by Gu Yue, leaving her with a bruised and swollen face. Her usually charming face had become several times larger, resembling a pig's head.

The injuries on her face were nothing compared to the fact that all the bones in her body were broken, and several of her meridians were severed.

Even Ye Yunong, the senior sister who was used as cannon fodder, had never been beaten so badly by Gu Yue before.

Seeing Lu Jinxin's expression, Master Qinglian was already furious and her face turned very ugly.

Qin Nanhuai's face was pale, but he forced himself to say, "Master, please don't be angry. Go and see Second Senior Brother."

Qin Nanhuai had no idea that he was facing the emperor's inner circle.

He is a weapon cultivator, skilled in controlling weapons. With the blessing of the Seven Killings Formation, his sword control technique is even more powerful. Just now, he used dozens of mid-grade spirit swords, all of which attacked Jun's side.

If it were the former Jun Ce, he might have been able to hold out, but Jun Ce was already injured in the Eight Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Formation. In order to forcefully break through, he spontaneously combusted his own wood spirit root to escape the formation.

He encountered Qin Nanhuai's sword control technique, which had been enhanced by the Seven Killings Formation, and was completely unable to withstand it.

When they saw the appearance of the emperor's side, everyone gasped.

The sight of the emperor's attendants can only be described as horrific.

He was covered in wounds, all inflicted by spiritual weapons; there was hardly a patch of uninjured flesh. But these weren't the most serious injuries.

Most fatally, a spirit sword was stuck in his dantian.

At this moment, the king's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Qinglian Shangren was extremely anxious and used her true energy to heal him.

However, when Master Qinglian channeled his true energy into Junce's dantian, the true energy immediately dissipated.

Qinglian Shangren's eyes were filled with disbelief. How could this be? How could this happen!

After Jun Ceji's wood spirit root was destroyed, his dantian was shattered by Qin Nanhuai's spirit weapon.

All his cultivation had dissipated.

For a cultivator, having their dantian destroyed is undoubtedly more painful than losing their life.

The second person to ascend to the throne, Junce, is now in this state. How can he possibly ascend?

Qin Nanhuai stammered,

"Master, Second Senior Brother, how is he?"

"You bastard, how dare you ask such a question? You've destroyed your second senior brother's dantian!"

Master Qinglian was both angry and anxious. He slapped Qin Nanhuai across the face. Qin Nanhuai dared not use his true energy to defend himself at this moment. He was swept away by the powerful slap.

"Master."

Gu Yue stammered, too afraid to approach, lest his master's anger spill over onto him.

Upon hearing this, Junce felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. Unable to bear the devastating news, he fainted.

Lu Jinxin was also incredulous; Jun Ce was the male lead in the original novel!

How could his incredible luck be wasted like this!

Something must have gone wrong, or perhaps, Brother Pig's luck will turn around, and there's still a chance for a change in fortune.

"Master, it's all my fault. I fell into Long Jiuqing's trap and was led here, which is why I accidentally hurt you all."

Meng Qingchen got up. Several of his eight extraordinary meridians were broken, but he dared not say anything more at this moment.

After all, he was the one who brought his two junior brothers here and set up the Seven Killings Formation. He bears the greatest responsibility for this incident.

"What does this have to do with Long Jiuqing?"

Master Qinglian's two gazes pierced Meng Qingchen like sharp swords.

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Qingchen would be the third person from Qinglian Peak to ascend to immortality, and one of his prized disciples, Master Qinglian would have crippled him long ago.

Meng Qingchen quickly recounted what had happened.

"So, you were deliberately lured here."

Master Qinglian thought of the Eight Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Formation deep in the Misty Valley. He had long suspected who had set up the formation here to deal with his two disciples. Now he thought that it was very likely that it was Long Jiuqing.

"You two stay here and take care of your second senior brother and junior sister. Qingchen, you accompany your master to the underground passage."

Old ginger is spicier. After a moment's thought, Master Qinglian realized that there must be other side passages in the tunnel.

Meng Qingchen and the others must have been tricked into coming to Misty Valley.

Since there are forks in the road, they can find Long Jiuqing by following the other forks.

The last time Long Jiuqing was at the Biluo Sect, he fought against Qinglian Shangren.

It was only because Qinglian Shangren had Lu Jinxin by his side at the time, and Long Jiuqing possessed thousands of demon souls, that he was unable to kill Long Jiuqing.

Thinking that in the future, Long Jiuqing will grow into a Heavenly Demon of Myriad Realms, and even after Qinglian Shangren ascends to immortality, he will have heard of his fame.

Such a wicked demon should be killed as soon as possible.

A murderous intent suddenly appeared in Master Qinglian's eyes.

When Master Qinglian and the others entered the cave, Ye Yunong and the half-human demon beast had already left.

At this moment, she was crawling inside the burrow, feeling a pang of regret, thinking to herself,

"It's a pity I didn't get to see their dogfighting in person."

As soon as Master Qinglian and the others entered the Seven Killings Formation, Ye Yunong and the half-human demon beast immediately left.

Ye Yunong was also unaware that Lu Jinxin had been brutally beaten and that Jun Ce's dantian had been destroyed.

Ye Yunong had anticipated that Qinglian Shangren would soon notice and then find a side path to catch up.

She was afraid that Master Qinglian wouldn't catch up.

"Master, you will soon receive the great gift from your disciple."

The half-human, half-beast behind them suddenly stopped.

"My lady, Lord Long is just ahead, so I won't go any further."

This fork in the road is the third fork dug by the half-human demon beast, and it leads directly to Long Jiuqing's lair.

Ye Yunong looked at the passage that was not far ahead and nodded.

What she and Long Jiuqing were about to say was indeed not suitable for others to hear.

They watched as Ye Yunong slowly disappeared into the distance.

The half-human, half-demon beast stroked its chin, a smile reminiscent of a brothel madam appearing on its face. It chuckled dryly twice.

"I've done Lord Long such a great favor, he'll be very happy. If he's happy, he might just agree to take me as his underling."
