Upon hearing this, Mu Huai was furious! He trembled with resentment.

He roared, "You shameless traitor! Even if it means we all die, I will kill you today!"

He pushed off with his feet and accelerated again, lunging towards Zhongda.

next moment!

A powerful, suffocating demonic force suddenly struck, and Mu Huai was unable to resist it, being directly knocked to the ground by this terrifying power.

Zhongda was overjoyed to find himself still alive. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, muttering, "Thank you, Lord Qingdi, for saving my life... Thank you, Lord Qingdi, for saving my life!"

Mo Yu glanced at Zhong Da with disgust. He had always despised people like him who betrayed their masters for personal gain. Such people had no backbone whatsoever; they were simply the most despicable beings in the world.

On the other side, Mu Huai coughed violently, his body swaying precariously, but he still managed to stand up. His eyes were bloodshot, and blinded by rage, he lunged at Zhong Da again.

A faint emerald light flashed! He was once again violently thrown away.

Si Hanye's playful smile vanished, replaced by a cold gaze as he looked down at the ashen-faced, trembling people below. He flicked his long, slender fingers lightly.

A dazzling flame shot out, and in an instant! The flame bloomed like fireworks, instantly transforming into thousands of emerald-green fireworks, cascading down like a silver river.

Dazzling and beautiful, it is breathtaking... leaving people in awe.

However, to those below, they were the scythe of death. In the blink of an eye, the once-living people vanished without a trace amidst the dazzling fireworks, leaving not even a sound.

When death truly came, Mu Huai could no longer control the extreme fear in his heart!

He stared in horror at what was happening before his eyes, watching helplessly as his men were burned to nothingness in an instant, without even the slightest power to resist.

At this moment, he no longer cared about his image or dignity. His whole body was trembling with fear as he desperately moved backward.

"Sect...Sect Master, save me—"

He shouted his last words with all his might, his eyes wide open, almost bulging out of their sockets.

Unfortunately, the turquoise fireworks mercilessly showered upon him, swallowing his life and completely drowning out his final cries for help.

Zhongda felt as if all his bones had been removed; he collapsed to the ground like a dead dog. His eyes were wide open, staring in terror at everything before him!

His mouth trembled, but he couldn't utter a sound...!

That person reaped so many lives in the blink of an eye...

Mo Yu tightened his grip on his arm, his face grim. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself! If his master had arrived a moment later, he and Bing Yao would be the ones reduced to ashes by now.

Si Hanye gracefully flicked his fingers, retracting the massive beast-shaped light screen behind him. His eyes were calm as water as he calmly looked at the scene below, his handsome face as cold as the moon showing no emotion.

It was as if what had just vanished was not a living human life, but merely a few withered yellow leaves!

He looked up at the distant horizon!

……

The person was completely shrouded in a white cloak, which seemed to be made of clouds and mist, ethereal and hazy... making it impossible to see the figure clearly!

Only a section of snow-white, sharp chin was visible beneath the cloak.

He parted his lips slightly, as if he were muttering to himself, or as if he were asking something.

"Azure flames and fireflies—those people must have lived in vain to see such a beautiful scene before they died! I just wonder... how much of the Azure Emperor's former strength does he still possess?"

……

Si Hanye withdrew his gaze, his eyes darkening slightly! A shimmering azure light enveloped him, and his figure vanished from the spot! Mo Yu and Zhong Da below also disappeared along with him!

The forest of demons returned to its usual silence, all around was quiet, as if nothing had happened!

The poisonous miasma that had been blocked out slowly returned like a tide, once again covering the entire forest.

Within the Southern Ridge territory, the Demon Alliance's headquarters...

Mo Yu was extremely anxious and hurriedly called for a maid to come and change Bing Yao's blood-stained dress.

Outside the door, Si Hanye stared at Mo Yu, whose face was filled with anxiety. His black robe was tattered beyond recognition, and the bloodstains on it had long since dried.

His face was as pale as paper. At the last moment, he unleashed that self-destructive secret technique—Soul Shattering! Although he forcibly stopped it, it still severely damaged his core. Without careful recuperation, he feared…

Si Hanye frowned slightly, his voice deep and magnetic, "Your injuries cannot be delayed either. Summon the demon physician to treat you properly!"

"Don't worry, I'm here! Bingyao will be fine!"

Mo Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up and slowly left! What the master said was very true. He forcibly used the secret technique and damaged his foundation. If he did not take good care of it, not only would his demonic power collapse like water bursting its banks, but his life would also be in danger.

He could not fall like this; he still had to avenge his fallen brothers!

Zhongda was imprisoned in the Demon Alliance's Demon-Suppressing Prison, which was surrounded by layers of powerful magic arrays. As soon as he stepped into this area, an invisible force instantly enveloped his entire body, firmly locking away the spiritual power within him.

It's not working!

Zhongda's heart pounded violently, and fear and despair surged into his heart. He was now imprisoned and had to find a way to escape. He could only hope that the official would take pity on him and spare his life because he had provided this information.

Just as Zhongda was filled with anxiety, a very faint sound came from the distant corridor. He widened his eyes, staring intently in the direction from which the sound came, his heart pounding in his throat.

Upon seeing that graceful and elegant figure, a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes. He rushed forward as if he had grasped a lifeline.

His face flushed red with excitement, veins bulged on his forehead, and his hands gripped the iron bars of the cell tightly.

"Lord Qingdi, you've arrived, hehe... I'll tell you... I'll tell you now..." Zhongda said incoherently, his voice trembling with nervousness.

Si Hanye's face was ashen as he coldly looked at the disheveled Zhongda before him. He did not speak, but simply stood there quietly, waiting for the other party to continue explaining.

Zhongda knew perfectly well why Si Hanye had come here. He composed himself and stopped hesitating.

He said directly, "Our Li clan has a history of thousands of years and was once the undisputed number one clan in the Nanling area! However, since the current clan leader took office, the entire clan has gradually declined. This clan leader is obsessed with witchcraft and poisons all day long, and he ignores all matters, big and small, of the clan, letting things drift! If this continues, our Li clan will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later!"

At this point, a look of deep sorrow appeared on his face, as if he were truly filled with worry about the future of the Li tribe.

"In the last two hundred years, my Li clan has become increasingly worse off, with its strength declining day by day. Now it has even fallen to the third largest power in the Southern Ridge! Everyone in the clan is lamenting this, and everyone misses the glorious days of the past."

"If it weren't for my eldest brother's tireless efforts over the years, managing all sorts of affairs within the clan and striving to keep things afloat, my Li clan would have been utterly defeated long ago, and we wouldn't have been able to retain our third-place position."
