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

Fu Chen was suppressed by both the Demon-Sealing Cage and Fu Ying, and could only watch helplessly as he sank down with the Demon-Sealing Cage.

This strange phenomenon startled even the monks guarding them.

Just before he could see her completely, Fu Chen finally caught a glimpse of Qingwei chanting incantations in the corner.

His eyes were bloodshot, but it was too late.

Qingwei watched as the Demon-Sealing Cage containing Fu Chen and Fu Ying sank into the ground, but she continued to form hand seals.

The cultivators guarding the two demons were puzzled, but seeing Qingwei's serious demeanor, they dared not approach to disturb her.

Unseen by the crowd, the cage containing Fu Chen and Fu Ying continued to sink!

Fu Ying was also fully awakened. She exclaimed in surprise, "What happened?"

Fu Chen looked down into the increasingly hot air, her beautiful face contorted with rage: "Fool, you're really going to get me killed this time."

"That woman is going to take us to the ninth floor."

The Xiao family of Juexian City has guarded the boundary marker for generations, preventing the demon race from intruding even a step.

In the deepest part of the place in Juexian City where demonic cultivators are imprisoned, there is said to be a cluster of strange fires that can dissolve demonic energy, even capable of scorching a demon lord into smoke.

This godforsaken place can only be resisted by imperial decree.

Because the imperial edict is not a demon.

Fu Chen quickly calmed down. "The information has been leaked. Who was it?"

Fu Chen and Fu Ying's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, turning their inside-outside collaboration into a desperate struggle for survival.

Meanwhile, Qingwei sent the two demons to the deepest part of the dungeon and reinforced the demon-sealing array before returning to report to Xiao Xun.

Pei Heng had already reapplied the medicine and bandaged Xiao Xun.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing about the punishment for the two demons.

Meng Sui said, "With the internal troubles eliminated, we can now unite against external threats."

Qingwei sighed and said, "Before I went, I had already spread the word about needing help."

"If...those high-level demonic cultivators really join forces to attack..."

I'm afraid that distant water can't quench a nearby fire.

Xiao Xun, though pale-faced, did not rest. He said, "Qingwei, do not cancel this recruitment operation, lest it arouse the vigilance of the demons."

"In addition, men were sent to set up an ambush outside the city, before the boundary marker."

Although Qingwei was worried about Xiao Xun's injuries, she still agreed to make the arrangements immediately.

They had been fighting the demons for many years, and the demons had long coveted the Immortal City. The details were already clear to Xiao Xun.

After Qingwei left, Yun Yici and the others felt it inappropriate to stay and disturb the injured person's rest, so they voluntarily withdrew.

Fortunately, Qingwei acted prudently and had already arranged for the servants in the mansion to arrange for the five people to rest.

However, he was under constant tension. Forget about resting, he didn't dare leave Shen Huaichuan and Yun Yici's side, for fear that a demon would suddenly jump out and skin him alive.

Shen Huaichuan and Yun Yici showed no intention of resting, so the three of them simply sat down in one place.

There has been no news about the bone bird that Yun Yici has kept hidden. She is worried that the bone bird will cause Xiao Xun to misunderstand, so she has not released the bone bird.

Shen Huaichuan sighed, "I visited Juexian City many years ago and even drank with Xiao Xun's ancestors."

"He looks a lot like his ancestors."

Shen Huaichuan still remembers his old drinking buddy drinking heartily with a wine jug, then smashing the wine jar and saying to him, "Boundary markers always need someone to guard them."

"Even if it's not a member of the Xiao family, it could be your Shen family, the Xie family..."

"No, I misspoke. Besides my Xiao family, there are countless other cultivators who call Juexian City their home."

Shen Huaichuan no longer remembers the taste of the wine from back then, but the sound of the wind in his ears is just like it was back then.

The Lingwei Sect has been lost to the dust of history, while the Twelve Sects have emerged out of nowhere.

He became a mortal.

The Xiao family, however, has kept its promise and guarded this place for generations.

Shen Huaichuan's fingers twitched slightly: "I didn't even know bringing you here was a good thing or a bad thing."

His original intention was to gradually train Yun Yici, but he didn't expect to be on a bloody battlefield where humans and demons clashed right from the start.

Yun Yici knew Wan Nian was nervous, but she didn't expect Shen Huaichuan to still be concerned about the past.

She sat down opposite Shen Huaichuan and smiled, "This is fate."
