Lan Yan had not yet recovered before she was attacked by the magical artifact in Feng Qing Zhenren's hand, trapped as if by a halo.
Seeing this, Jun Yelan, who was behind her, drove his palm towards Feng Qing Zhenren to attack, but he dodged them all. He watched helplessly as Lan Yan was trapped, unable to approach, and roared, "Yan'er!"
His eyes turned red, and a curved saber appeared in his palm. He attacked Feng Qing Zhenren madly. "Give Yan'er back to me."
Feng Qing Zhenren retreated one by one. He was not good at attacking but excelled at setting up formations and evading. He clasped his hands together, and another halo appeared around him, which he threw towards Jun Yelan.
"Yelan, quickly dodge," Lan Yan shouted anxiously, struggling with her arms, but the halo only tightened. She knew how powerful Feng Qing Zhenren's formations were, capable of trapping any demonic beast.
Jun Yelan could not be caught here; he would be reduced to ashes by the cultivation world.
Hearing the familiar shout, Jun Yelan tilted to the right, dodging the halo. But the next moment, the halo enlarged and wrapped around him.
Seeing this, Feng Qing Zhenren seized the halo on Lan Yan and drove the sword beneath him away.
Lan Yan struggled in vain, looking worriedly at Jun Yelan below, and shouted, "Yelan, I will find an opportunity. You take care of yourself first."
"Yan'er!" Jun Yelan went mad, driving his palm, shattering the surrounding halos. He then flew into the air, but Lan Yan and the others had already disappeared.
A fierce ruthlessness appeared in his eyes as he continued to search the air. At the same time, his heart clenched tightly. Yan'er must not be harmed, or he would destroy everything.
His most powerful asset was actually his demonic core.
Meanwhile, Feng Qing Zhenren brought Lan Yan to a place. Looking around, she realized it was the same abyss as before. She was confined in a cage and looked at her former master, asking, "Feng Qing Zhenren, are you also trying to incite war between the two realms?"
"If something happens to me, Jun Yelan will not let you off. Then the two realms will truly fall into chaos." She tried her best to persuade him, and she always felt that Feng Qing Zhenren was somewhat strange, his eyes lacked light.
Feng Qing Zhenren stared coldly at Lan Yan, something in his mind trying to awaken but being suppressed. "Lan Yan, you are a traitor to Spirit Mountain and should have been executed immediately. However, considering the great war, if you can leak information about the demon realm, you can atone for your sins."
"I will not," Lan Yan gripped the cage in front of her, her eyes fixed on his with determination. "Feng Qing Zhenren, tell all cultivators that I, Lan Yan, have already sided with Jun Yelan."
She did not stand with the cultivation world, nor the demon realm, but only by Jun Yelan's side.
Feng Qing Zhenren was slightly stunned, withdrawing his gaze from Lan Yan and walking away.
Lan Yan was left alone, leaning against the bars that formed the cage, sighing, "Now that I've been captured, I wonder how Yelan is doing?"
She shouldn't have let her guard down. She thought Feng Qing Zhenren had helped them last time, but Feng Qing Zhenren was the Sect Leader's junior brother. Since the Sect Leader couldn't capture Jun Yelan, he was now using her.
She became more worried about Jun Yelan.
At this moment, Jun Yelan had arrived at the Demon King's Palace. He couldn't find any trace of Lan Yan anywhere, and the cultivation world had already entered the demon realm, restricting his movements.
He had to find a better way to find Lan Yan as soon as possible.
The new Demon King had been helped by Jun Yelan before. Seeing him now, he respectfully called out, "Your Highness Jun, you have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
He was truly unable to resist the cultivation world and could only rely on Jun Yelan.
"Where are they?" Jun Yelan asked with icy eyes.
The new Demon King quickly replied, "Your Highness Jun, they have been lingering at the boundary between the two realms, surrounding the abyss. Not even a single demonic beast can enter now."
"Moreover, the Spirit Mountain Sect Leader said that they want us to hand you over, or they will launch an attack directly. But I never thought that way; these cultivators cannot be trusted."
He was unlike his foolish brother who trusted cultivators.
Jun Yelan did not reply but was thinking of other things. Lan Yan must be in the abyss. If he went there rashly now, not only would he be captured, but Lan Yan would also be in danger.
The cultivators' purpose in capturing Lan Yan was him. As long as he was alive, Lan Yan would not die. His eyes deepened as he looked at the new Demon King, "Assemble all your soldiers and launch a proactive attack."
The new Demon King was slightly stunned. Knowing that their demon realm's current capabilities were insufficient to resist, he asked weakly, "Your Highness Jun, do we really have to do this?"
"If we only retreat, the end result will be the same," Jun Yelan said coldly. "You are the current Demon King, and you must make a decision."
The new Demon King looked at Jun Yelan, clenched his fist, and felt a lot of courage. With His Highness Jun present, their demon realm might not lose. He shouted, "Alright, I will listen to His Highness Jun."
Thus, Jun Yelan was responsible for organizing the demon realm's soldiers, dispersing them, and launching a proactive attack on the cultivation world at the abyss.
Most of the cultivators at the abyss were resting, completely unaware that the demon realm was already on its way. Xiao Lingling, in particular, wearing a red dress and holding a purple whip, walked triumphantly to the cage.
She stared at Lan Yan inside and couldn't help but laugh, "Lan Yan, look at you now. You're truly pathetic. You used to be Spirit Mountain's strongest beast tamer, but what are you now?"
Lan Yan cast a cold glance at Xiao Lingling and continued to rest.
Seeing that Lan Yan was still in this state, Xiao Lingling became furious. She swung her whip towards the cage, but it bounced back, and she glared in disbelief, "How could this happen?"
"Heh." Lan Yan was, after all, Feng Qing Zhenren's disciple. Although she couldn't break this halo, she could prevent attacks from others.
If it weren't for important matters, she wouldn't mind staying here for a few days.
Xiao Lingling hated Lan Yan's mocking demeanor the most. She was clearly the Sect Leader's daughter and had been cultivating for years, yet she could never compare to Lan Yan.
When she heard that Lan Yan had become a traitor, she felt an unprecedented sense of triumph, thinking of Lan Yan's miserable fate. But now Lan Yan was alive and well, and with Uncle Feng Qing's protection, she wouldn't die easily.
Hatred appeared in her eyes. She took out a cage from her sleeve and placed it on the ground fiercely. This cage was filled with rats. Lan Yan would not escape.
However, the moment the rats approached Lan Yan, they felt the aura of Jun Yelan on her, immediately trembled, and turned to run towards Xiao Lingling.
Xiao Lingling's feet were immediately surrounded by rats. She jumped up and down, shouting, "You stinking rats, I'll kill you all!"
Lan Yan, watching this scene, couldn't help but laugh. "Xiao Lingling, did you come here specifically to make me laugh!"
"You!" Xiao Lingling pointed angrily at Lan Yan, but there was nothing she could do. Thinking of something, she laughed again, "You laugh then. Anyway, my father has decided to launch an attack tonight, and your demonic beast will be doomed."
Lan Yan's eyes darkened. "Hmph, we'll see who's doomed." She tightly grasped the bag at her waist, vowing not to let Jun Yelan get hurt.
