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

Fu Ying is so stupid.

This was also what Fu Chen was thinking at that moment.

Because they were of one mind and could communicate regardless of any conditions, Tao Jiang had previously suggested that one of them pretend to be captured while the other stayed in the Demon Realm.

The problem is, with Fu Ying captured, given her intelligence, the human race will probably know about their scheme in less than half a day.

If he were to venture out alone into danger, he would be influenced by the cunning and suspicious nature of the demon race.

Even though they were twins with Fu Ying, they didn't trust each other, let alone the other demon lords.

So, when it came to who should be captured, the two chose to be captured together.

Fu Chen thought he had concealed his identity well, but he didn't expect that his identity would still be exposed and he would be thrown into the ninth level of the dungeon in Juexian City.

A day and a night had passed since they were thrown into the ninth floor.

Under the scorching heat of the strange fire, Fu Chen and Fu Ying could no longer maintain their charming appearances and began to reveal their terrifying true forms with blue faces and fangs.

With tears in her eyes, Fu Ying huddled in a corner of the Demon-Sealing Cage and sobbed, "Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault now."

"You might as well swallow me whole; it's better than us both dying here."

Fu Chen sat in another corner, watching Fu Ying warily. There was never any sibling affection between them; they were just two demons who were accidentally bound together when they separated.

Fu Ying kept crying. The demon-sealing mark on her face began to take effect due to the leakage of demonic energy. The golden light that merged with Buddhist teachings burned and melted her face, making her look extremely miserable.

Fu Chen knew he wasn't much better off.

The only way to get out of here alive is to devour the other's magic core.

A glint of greed flashed in his eyes as he slowly crawled toward Fu Ying.

But just as he was about to reach out and touch Fu Ying, a look of resentment flashed in Fu Ying's eyes, and her slender, fair fingers transformed into ghostly claws, with black energy emanating from between them, directly plunging towards Fu Chen's dantian.

Fu Chen's Demon Core...

Thinking she had succeeded, her smile widened, but the next moment her smile froze as a sharp pain spread from her chest throughout her body.

Her eyes widened in panic as she watched helplessly as Fu Chen pulled out her magic core.

"Fool, we are twins, so of course my magic core is in the opposite position to yours."

But Fu Ying, who had died with her eyes wide open, could no longer hear those words.

As the demon core was removed, her physical body was no match for the scorching flames, and in an instant, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished without a trace.

Fu Chen lowered his face, covering it with his hair, and suddenly his knuckles, which were gripping the Fu Ying Demon Core, shot out.

Once he has absorbed Fu Ying's demon core, everyone in Jue Xian City will have to pay with their lives for Fu Ying!

......

Just as Yun Yici finished listening to the bone bird's report, she jumped up with a start and was about to go find Xiao Xun to report the news.

Ten thousand demon soldiers!

Not to mention there are also several demon generals and four demon lords.

Xiao Xun caught two, and there are two more outside.

Yun Yici felt that only by inviting Shen Huaichuan from two thousand years ago could the crisis of the Immortal City be resolved.

Shen Huaichuan went with Yun Yici to see Xiao Xun.

It must be said that Pei Heng's medical skills were indeed superb; Xiao Xun was able to get up overnight.

Xiao Xun was sitting by the window at the moment, with a table full of documents in front of him.

Upon seeing Yun Yici and Shen Huaichuan arrive, Xiao Xun put down the document he was reading and said, "Please excuse me. A few days ago, due to my serious injury, Qingwei and the others handled many things on my behalf."

"I'm feeling better now, so I'd like to take a look at these documents during the day."

Yun Yici didn't care about anything else at this point. She said, "The two Demon Lords, Zhong Tu and Tao Jiang, have already led ten thousand demon soldiers on their way."

"Because Fu Chen and Fu Ying have lost contact, they set up camp midway and sent an elite team to investigate the situation."

Hearing about the massive commotion in the Demon Realm, Xiao Xun gasped, pulling at his bandaged wound.

He immediately summoned Qingwei and asked, "Has the distress call been sent out? Have the city lords responded?"

Qingwei said, "It was sent out immediately yesterday."

Yun Yici and the other person listened from the side and finally understood that Juexian City was not isolated from the human world.

As the saying goes, "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," in the past, if there was a major disturbance in the Demon Realm and they couldn't withstand it, they would ask nearby cities for help, and the city lords would send cultivators to support them.

Xiao Xun lightly tapped the table with his fingers: "Even if we set off immediately after receiving the distress call, it would still be three days' journey to our fastest city."

"A day and a night have passed now, and all the cultivators in our city only number five thousand."

"We have to hold out until their reinforcements arrive!"

Xiao Xun got up and planned to get dressed and go out to put Juexian City into a state of war.

However, he moved too roughly, and the carefully wrapped cloth, which had been meticulously prepared, began to bleed.

Qingwei quickly advised, "Lord City Lord, the demons are still in the Demon Realm. You should rest well and not wear yourself out during the great battle."

“Yuanchang and I will handle things in the city; you don’t need to worry.”

"I will have someone invite my young friend Pei over right away."

Qingwei was so busy that she couldn't keep up with the pace of things and went out to arrange matters in the city on her own.

Yun Yici was unsure whether to stand or sit. Seeing that Xiao Xun was still sitting at the table, she braced herself and said, "Senior Xiao, shall I help you to the bed?"

Xiao Xun looked exhausted and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need to call me senior. We are both juniors of Senior Shen. Just call me Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Yun Yici was taken aback for a moment, but Xiao Xun sighed: "Do you think I believed you without verifying your words?"

“Senior Shen and my ancestors were good friends, and my family still has a portrait of Senior Shen.”

Shen Huaichuan, who was called out, slowly curved his lips into a smile that looked like both a cry and a laugh: "I'm sorry, I can't help you."

In fact, if the Immortal City were to fall, he would not hesitate to take Yun Yici and flee.

Because he failed to live up to the name of Shen Huaichuan; he was just an ordinary person.

He could neither protect the descendants of his old friends nor safeguard the city.

If he could only protect one person, he hoped Yun Yici could survive.

When Xiao Xun heard Shen Huaichuan say that, he laughed instead.

"What are you saying, Senior Shen? Everyone has their own responsibilities. Juexian City is my responsibility, and you have yours as well."

"With a great battle at hand, if I weren't injured, I would love to have a drink with you."

"If my father knew this from beyond the grave, he would be green with envy."

Xiao Xun stopped speaking abruptly after he finished speaking, just as there was a knock on the door.

It's Pei Heng.

When Pei Heng arrived, Yun Yici followed his instructions and helped Xiao Xun to bed. Only after Pei Heng had finished treating him did she bid farewell to Shen Huaichuan and leave.

But as soon as Yun Yici stepped out of Xiao Xun's courtyard, she saw a handsome young man in blue lingering outside.

When he saw Yun Yici and the other person come out, his eyes were fixed on Shen Huaichuan.

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack; so you're also a guest at the City Lord's Mansion."

The man Fu Ying likes.

Considering Fu Ying's contribution in helping him escape, he will send this handsome man to keep Fu Ying company.
