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

Upon hearing that Yun Yici had fallen into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, Zhong Tu's figure, which had been lurking in the demonic energy, immediately stopped.

She straightened up and respectfully faced Li Wuyue, who was turning towards Shen Huaichuan: "My lord, I was unaware of your return. I have offended you greatly in the past."

Zhong Tu was also confused.

In her view, the first battle was about choosing sides between the Emperor's Decree and the Demon Lord, and she had chosen the right side.

She is currently at a critical juncture as her second imperial edict clashes with her own people.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but when she saw Shen Huaichuan throw Yun Yici into the demonic energy, her first reaction was to go down and rescue her.

She could only conclude that she had acted rashly and dared to go against Shen Huaichuan's wishes.

Zhong Tu glanced at Di Zhao, who was still trapped silently inside the Demon Bell, and after confirming that he did not have the strength to rescue Di Zhao, he lowered his head meekly.

Shen Huaichuan ignored her and instead said to Li Wuyue, "Once the imperial edict is released, you will surely die."

Li Wuyue laughed heartily: "I have long since disregarded life and death. Your journey will surely fulfill your wishes and bring blessings to all living beings."

Zhong Tu had his head down and didn't see Shen Huaichuan's movements clearly, but then he heard Li Wuyue scream.

Zhong Tu was able to keep his composure, but he couldn't help glancing at Shen Huaichuan out of the corner of his eye, and secretly prayed that Shen Huaichuan wouldn't act like Mo Xiao.

If even Li Wuyue, who was so loyal to him, couldn't survive, then she was even less likely to survive.

"Zhong Tu".

Zhong Tu finally heard his name called and instinctively replied, "Yes!"

She looked up and saw Li Wuyue, whose life or death was unknown, being supported by Shen Huaichuan.

To her surprise, almost all of Li Wuyue's demonic energy had dissipated, and she looked no different from an ordinary person.

“Send him to Juexian City, and the Emperor will not blame you.”

Upon hearing Shen Huaichuan tell her to leave, Zhong Tu, fearing that asking any more questions might change the mind of this killing god, quickly took Li Wuyue and fled into the distance without looking back.

After Zhong Tu left with Li Wuyue, only one person and one bell remained in this place.

The previously silent magic bell began to tremble.

This unclaimed demon bell cannot imprison the imperial edict for long, and Shen Huaichuan's purpose is not to imprison him.

Shen Huaichuan stood at a distance, watching the Demon Bell being slowly raised, its dark lower edge radiating scorching flames, the heat emanating from it.

The flames illuminated the area around the demon bell. The ghostly head on the bell was already dead, and cracks began to appear on the bell's body.

The firelight filled the cracks, as if drawing a layer of fiery red patterns on the magic bell.

Under the scorching heat of the phoenix fire, the magic bell quickly reached its limit.

With a loud "whoosh," the Demon Bell shattered into pieces, and a flame shot towards Shen Huaichuan like an arrow released from a bow.

Shen Huaichuan clearly saw the despair on Di Zhao's face reflected in his eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, he harnessed the demonic energy of heaven and earth, condensing it into a sword shadow.

When the sword shadow appeared, even the distant heavens and earth began to tremble, and countless demons in the demon realm looked in panic toward the direction of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.

The power of the sword shadows enveloped the space, the sword intent materialized and tightened into a cage, trapping the imperial edict once again, confining it before Shen Huaichuan.

The flames around the imperial edict were still burning, but he was trapped in this corner in a sorry state.

He said with hatred in his eyes, "What? You dare to kill her, but not me?"

He was convinced he was going to die, and planned to take Shen Huaichuan down with him.

"She is not dead."

The emperor glared at Shen Huaichuan: "You threw her into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons!"

The demonic energy beneath their feet gradually dissipated and returned to its proper place; the souls of the dead demons had long since vanished.

Apart from the chaotic, lifeless objects on the ground that proved their existence, there was no other sign of life.

Shen Huaichuan said, "Imperial decree, remember what I told you."

He stood with his hands behind his back, turning to look at the distant horizon.

Before the emperor could ask any further questions, the pitch-black night sky turned into daylight in an instant.

But the light was only momentary, and was quickly covered by dark clouds again.

*

What the emperor was unaware of was that, in addition to the demon realm, the human realm and the demon realm were also in chaos.

Wen Fuyue, who has arrived at the Nanhua Sect, is giving lessons to her disciples.

Suddenly, the entire classroom darkened as if covered by dark clouds, and even the luminous pearls used for lighting in the hall dimmed.

The young sword cultivators, who had filled the classroom, stirred with excitement. Wen Fuyue's expression changed: "This is a sign of ascension!"

The hot-blooded young disciples could no longer sit still and began to discuss amongst themselves.

"Are the tribulation clouds above us? Doesn't that mean one of our sect's patriarchs is about to ascend to immortality?"

"You're really ignorant. The tribulation clouds of ascension cover the three realms, and you still don't know where that ancestor is."

"Go out and have a look."

Wen Fuyue quickly went through the list of the reclusive elders of the Nanhua Sect in her mind, but she still had no clue.

This was no small matter, so he said, "Let's end the class for today."

After Wen Fuyue finished speaking, she hurriedly got up to find Gu Ruyi.

Apart from Wen Fuyue, all the other peak masters had arrived at the main hall and were looking at the dark clouds and lightning gathering in the sky from the corridor.

Seeing Wen Fuyue rush over, Gu Ruyi's expression turned solemn: "I have already asked other sects, and it is not their sect's ancestor undergoing tribulation."

"Furthermore, judging from the direction of this heavenly lightning, it points towards the Demon Realm."

Wen Fuyue said, "That's strange. Demons never ascend to immortality through tribulation. Could it be that some powerful being just happened to be passing through the Demon Realm?"

Speaking of ascension, the last one was an ancestor of the Fu Sect.

Going back further, the most famous is Shen Huaichuan.

Thinking of Shen Huaichuan, who was inexplicably still in the human world, Wen Fuyue's eyelids suddenly twitched.

The group watched from under the eaves for a while, waiting to see the final result.

Just then, an elder from the Hall of Fate hurriedly flew over on his sword, holding a life tablet in his hand.

Gu Ruyi and the others looked over at the same time, and the elder immediately exclaimed upon seeing Wen Fuyue, "Elder Wen! Your fourth disciple's life tablet has suddenly shattered!"

Wen Fuyue was shocked and felt a profound silence. Her only thought was to rush over and snatch the life tablet from his hand.

Upon closer inspection, the jade-white life tablet was indeed completely shattered.

No matter how carefully Wen Fuyue pieced it together, she could never restore it to its original, flawless shape.

A broken life tablet signifies the death of its owner.

Wen Fuyue said in disbelief, "How is that possible...?"

Seeing Wen Fuyue's state, Gu Ruyi snatched the broken life tablet from his hand.

"If I remember correctly, this fate tablet belongs to that girl Yun Yici."

"When you came back, you only said that she went on a trip with a friend. Who was that friend? Do you know where they went?"

“I will immediately send my disciples who are nearby to check on her condition.”

Gu Ruyi remained calm, and Wen Fuyue also calmed down.

"I don't know where they are now, but Xiao Ci must be alright."

"Didn't the people from Lingwei Sect say that the Outer Pavilion and Xiao Ci's life are intertwined? I need to go to Yinxian City."

Ignoring the tribulations of ascension, Wen Fuyue set off immediately, while also contacting Feng Nian to ask him to cast a divination to find out Yun Yici's whereabouts.
