The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chaos reigned in the Demon Palace. Bai Wu, under the suspicious gazes of the demons, ordered the fox girl to place the water mirror in front of the water mirror used for the cub's sacrifice.

Bai Ruoqing's handsome and ethereal figure immediately appeared in the air, but behind him was darkness, and the thing in his hand made all the demon cultivators still in the demon palace change their expressions.

That was a tiger's skin!

Li Zheng had gradually come to accept Li Zhan's death.

Seeing his son in such a miserable state, he trembled all over, and his demonic aura surged, along with the invisible spiritual power that began to surge like boiling water taking shape.

"I will definitely kill that demon and skin him alive to vent my hatred!"

Bai Ruo ignored Li Zheng's furious outburst and instead said to Bai Wu, "Clan Chief, let's pause the post-ritual ceremony and evacuate those cubs first."

"When I arrived here, I discovered that Zhulong's territory has inexplicably begun to expand outwards today."

"Moreover, this domain is constantly devouring the surrounding environment. If this continues, the outer area will be assimilated into the inner circle's landscape, and it will be too late by the time those mutated monsters emerge."

The most prominent characteristic of so-called mutated demonic beasts is that the bloodline suppression of demon cultivators is completely ineffective against them.

Ultimately, it's about losing one's mind, having an extremely volatile personality, and being unafraid of death.

These mutated monsters would even ambush lone cultivators in groups, and when the groups grew into a beast tide, some smaller clans would have to avoid them.

The unspoken consensus among demon cultivators is to eliminate any mutated demon beasts they encounter immediately to prevent them from becoming a major threat.

The interior of the Ziya Blood Abyss is extremely dangerous. Thousands of years ago, some undeterred demon cultivators went inside to search for the secret treasures left behind by the fallen Zhulong.

However, those who went all returned empty-handed, and gradually fewer and fewer people went.

The Ziya Blood Abyss, with its unique topography and environment teeming with resentment, has become a breeding ground for these mutated ferocious beasts.

Fortunately, the domain of the Candle Dragon trapped these mutated ferocious beasts within, which is why Qingqiu dared to choose Ziya Blood Abyss as the venue for this year's post-festival ceremony.

Now that the territory has expanded to the periphery, the consequences would be unimaginable if these crazed mutated beasts were to escape.

Bai Ruo's words were reasonable and well-founded, causing even the great demon clan chief and demon envoys who originally supported continuing the post-sacrifice ceremony to hesitate.

When they recommend cubs, they inevitably have their own selfish motives, as most of them are related to them, not to mention the precedent of Li Zhan.

Therefore, Bai Wu didn't need to persuade her anymore. She directly notified the Qingqiu elders to suspend the ritual, bring the cubs to the assembly, and wait for Bai Ruo to activate the teleportation array to bring everyone back.

But Bai Ruo in the water mirror said firmly: "The evil demon that disappeared along with the Tiger Clan is probably in grave danger. As for the other missing people, I will find them and bring them back."

And then there was that woman who cultivated herself; for some reason, he felt a strange emotion in his heart the moment he saw her.

Although he quickly suppressed those inappropriate feelings, he didn't really want anything to happen to her.

"Bai Ruo, the person of good fortune, currently has a favorability rating of 70."

The system spoke out unexpectedly, catching Yun Yici off guard.

Back then, Bai Ruo was influenced by the halo of love at first sight, and her favorability rating soared to 100.

After that, Yun Yici never spoke a word to him again, and Bai Ruo never took the initiative to contact her.

Yun Yici hadn't taken it to heart, thinking that Bai Ruo's favorability would gradually fade away, but unexpectedly, Bai Ruo's favorability suddenly changed at this moment.

However, now is not the time to worry about affection levels.

The imperial edict, carried by a folding fan, led several people along with the golden lotus, maneuvering with incredible speed and agility, without them even realizing how many turns they made.

However, the darkness before them gradually brightened and opened up, turning into a lush jungle.

As the sun sets, the golden rays of the clouds resemble the shimmering sea at sunset.

Before crashing into the jungle, the Emperor ordered the fan to change direction, soaring directly into the sky and leaping over the jungle.

And the lotus flower darted out in a blur ahead.

At that moment, a strange, bird-like beast swooped down with its mouth wide open, snatched the lotus in one bite, and then fled the scene of the crime in the opposite direction.

The event happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. The Emperor's edict: ? ? ?

The crowd was trying to snatch back the Buddha Lotus.

As a result, the demon bird that swallowed the Buddha lotus had not flown far when everyone heard it let out a miserable scream and then watched helplessly as it fell from the sky.

The next moment, the Buddha Lotus burst out of the demon bird's body.

Yun Yici: Good heavens, what did Xuanzhu give me?

Hua Yi, standing to the side, looked frightened: "That bird just now seemed to be a mutated monster. Oh no."

"This lotus flower has led us into the depths of the Ziya Blood Abyss."

"If we had flown a little slower, we would have been saved by the time my father and the others arrived."

The emperor said irritably, "Father, Father, Father, all you do is call for your father when something happens. Does a person not live without a father?"

Everyone present, except for Hua Yi, felt a sharp pain in their knees.

Emperor Zhao continued to follow Lotus, but he was also puzzled: "That demon bird seems to be different. Since I came to the human realm and the demon realm, I have never encountered a demon bird that is not afraid of me."

That demonic bird just appeared out of nowhere; it was clearly not afraid of him.

Hua Yi was so ashamed by the scolding that he couldn't lift his head. Hearing this, he explained, "These mutated monsters are like madmen. They are not afraid of our bloodline suppression at all."

To put it bluntly, the weak are afraid of the strong, the strong are afraid of the ruthless, and the ruthless are afraid of the reckless.

Yun Yici said, "Then, if you lose your bloodline suppression in front of these mutated demonic beasts, isn't that the same as us human cultivators being in front of demonic beasts?"

Hua Yi said, "How can that be the same? The mutated demon beasts outside the demon realm have almost been wiped out."

"And we are very strong; my true form is a Chi dragon!"

Hua Yi was incredibly proud. Apart from not having horns on their heads, their Chilong were somehow related to dragons. How could they possibly be on par with human cultivators in front of these mutated monsters who had lost all reason?

Yun Yici: "If that's the case, then what were you afraid of just now?"

Hua Yi stammered, "I'm a cub! Chilong meat smells delicious; these mutated monsters love to eat it."

Rong Xuan and Ning Tinglan, who were listening from the side, couldn't help but facepalm. It was the first time they had ever seen such a wicked child describe his own flesh as delicious.

Mu Yunjian was still bound. He was worried that his consciousness would be completely devoured and he would turn around and hurt everyone. So he asked Rong Xuan to tie him up like a ball, leaving only his round and cute head outside.

Seeing the crowd whispering among themselves, Di Zhao ignited the phoenix fire in his palm, revealing his killing intent: "I don't care what kind of mutated monster it is, I'll burn one of them as they come. I want to see if he's really not afraid of death."

The imperial edict unleashed its full power, and the heat emanating from the flames made Hua Yi flinch.

He dared not approach the imperial edict, much less approach Yun Yici, who had once pounded on him with a black tortoise.

After hesitating between Rong Xuan and Ning Tinglan for a while, Hua Yi chose Rong Xuan, who seemed easier to talk to.
