“I... I don’t know.” Wang Ke also felt strange.

Wang Ke finally sighed a bit as he looked at the two charred bodies on the ground. “Forget it, Zhu Yan. You caused me big trouble by advancing my cultivation, but you also got rid of She Tianba; I will consider this as us being even!”

While he was lying, charred on the ground, Zhu Yan was not dead yet; he was merely struggling a little. However, when he heard Wang Ke’s words, he was so angered that he rolled his eyes and completely passed out.

Wang Ke turned around, leaving behind the charred bodies while pulling Princess Youyue along with him. “This place is not safe; we need to leave now!”

“Leave? It’s too late to leave now~~~~~~~~~!” A loud voice came from a place above them.

“Booom!”

Following a loud explosion, a demon was cut in half in the sky, crashing into the ground near Wang Ke’s feet. A golden ray appeared from within the demon’s body and went straight to the descending Zhang Shenxu.

“Kill them! Kill them~~~~~~~~!”

A series of war cries were heard. Demons were struck down one after the other by the Golden Crow Sect’s disciples. Pieces of corpses rained down from the sky; that made for quite a ghastly sight.

Rays of virtue merit entered the Golden Crow Sect disciples’ bodies, which was a consolation prize for them, since they saw who suffered heavy casualties and injuries.

All the demons were killed!

The Golden Crow Sect disciples had the advantage of both quantity and quality, which gave them the final victory. Although each of them was badly injured, they were eventually victorious! They won in the end!

And now, all the righteous sect disciples were pointing their weapons toward Wang Ke and the princess.

“Wang Ke, you really gave us hell. Hahaha, now it’s your turn to be on the receiving end! You deceived me… Hahaha, who asked you to deceive me? You finally fell into my grasp again!” Zhang Shenxu burst out laughing.

He was covered in blood at the moment, having lost all demeanor of the usually gracious gentleman in white robes. He was currently willing to do anything to have his revenge, repaying the humiliation done to him.

His junior disciples pressed forward in a fan-shaped formation as they approached Wang Ke.

“Wang Ke is Chen Tianyuan’s disciple. Do you really want him to make a move to avenge him?” Princess Youyue reprimanded them anxiously.

“Chen Tianyuan? Haha! No one will make a difference! This is the Zhu Cultivation Town! A remote town with no immortal sects nearby. Do you think I would be scared of Chen Tianyuan? Let him come if he’s that capable! I fear no one now! No one shall stop me! Whoever interferes with our punishment for Wang Ke will be destroyed!” Zhang Shenxu said with a chilling voice.

“He’s right!” the Golden Crow Sect disciples shouted in agreement.

Their virtue merit had been snatched away by the Heavenly Wolf Sect, and Zhang Shenxu was almost struck dead by the formation’s lightning bolts. They also fell for Wang Ke’s trick at the Wolf Cultivation Town and almost died at the hands of the demons. Adding insult to injury, Wang Ke also stripped two of the Golden Crow Sect disciples naked. It was pure humiliation. Wang Ke had even eaten a crane not long before. To top it off, they were used to deal with demons? The Golden Crow Sect’s disciples’ hearts were filled with grudges against him.

Every one of them wanted to vent by punishing him to repay the humiliation; no one could change their minds.

Wang Ke pulled Princess Youyue to his back as he looked grimly at the Golden Crow Sect’s disciples who were coming for him. Is there no other way?It seems like the only way out is to expose my cultivation a little.

A ball of essence Qi appeared in Wang Ke’s palm. The turbid essence Qi was locked and loaded! Wang Ke was prepared to risk it.

“Don’t come any closer!” Wang Ke warned solemnly.

“Don’t come any closer? Hahaha, Wang Ke, it’s useless no matter how loud you shout! Go ahead and cry for help! Call Zhang Zhengdao to come and save you! Or you can call someone else. Call someone else!” Zhang Shenxu kept moving forward with a sinister face.

Wang Ke glowered at his enemies. You guys are forcing me to use my essence Qi!

Just when the tension between both sides was almost on the breaking point to start a fierce battle—

Suddenly, countless ear-piercing bat screeches were heard coming from above. All the town’s residents covered their ears to withstand the noise.

The sudden appearance of a flock of bats caught the Golden Crow Sect disciples’ attention. All of them were confused as they looked up into the sky. Indeed, there were hundreds of bats flying swiftly toward them; the faraway sky showed many more of them, veiling the sky. The bats flew over and surrounded the entire place along with their demonic Qi.

The bats flew amidst the surge of demonic Qi while surrounding a platform. About a thousand men dressed in black robes were standing on the flying platform as they approached Wang Ke and the Golden Crow Sect’s disciples. All of those men were enveloped with surging demonic Qi, which made the onlookers shudder.

The one leading them was a solemn faced man dressed in red. He looked down at the Zhu Cultivation Town with a lofty attitude.

“Zhu Hongyi? It’s Zhu Hongyi!” cried one of the Golden Crow Sect’s disciples in shock.

“Demons? Why are there so many demons?” a fellow disciple shouted in fear.

“Why... Why are demons gathering in the Zhu Cultivation Town? Why…?” Zhang Shenxu was also taken aback.

Zhu Hongyi was the Astral Infant Stage demon that injured him in Wolf Cultivation Town not long before. The former’s demonic power was too powerful for him to even endure a single exchange of blows. Moreover, his men were already injured and only numbered twenty! The approaching army of demons were close to a thousand.

The righteous and the demonic factions were already irreconcilable. Zhu Hongyi and his demons would surely not let them off since they had just killed a bunch of demons! Why am I so unlucky!I run into misfortune every time I meet him!I can’t even escape today! There are too many demons!

The dark cloud of bats covered the sky as they moved closer to the She Clan. The horrifying pressure made the local residents and the righteous disciples shudder. All of them were terrified.

“Wang Ke?” Princess Youyue was worried.

“Let’s play it by ear. Just follow my lead!” Wang Ke said with a grim face.

In the sky—

Zhu Hongyi looked down at the She Clan. A thousand demons were also looking downward, feeling puzzled. What happened to the She Clan?And what about those dead disciples of our demonic sect?And what’s with the bunch of Golden Crow Sect’s disciples drawing blades against a couple?

Although the demons were confused, each of them was filled with pride in their hearts; nothing could stop them while Parlor Lord Zhu Hongyi was leading the army. They had the power to even demolish a small immortal sect. What was a small town like the Zhu Cultivation Town in their eyes?

All the demons waited on Zhu Hongyi’s orders while he speculated with squinted eyes about the situation right beneath them.

Zhang Shenxu and his men were filled with anxiety. They were badly injured, but none of them dared to flee, fearing that they might spur the demons into hunting them down from all directions. What... What should we do now?

“It’s all Wang Ke’s fault! It’s all his fault! Demons are descending from the clouds. It’s the end for us!” Zhang Shenxu said while giving Wang Ke a hateful stare.

“We can’t escape, neither can Wang Ke!”

“Damn you, Wang Ke. You’re dragging us down to die alongside you?” Another Golden Crow Sect disciple joined in the cursing.

Then they saw Wang Ke leave Princess Youyue behind and walk toward the demons who had just landed from the demonic clouds.

Wang Ke walked toward them with proud strides, as though he was going to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

The Golden Crow Sect’s disciples opened their eyes wide in shock. What is happening?Is Wang Ke sick of living?Is he going there to find his death?There are so many demons! You’re not enough to even stick to their teeth, and yet you dare to walk up?

The entire vicinity was in silence. The Golden Crow Sect’s disciples were so nervous that they felt suffocated. Still, they saw Wang Ke moving toward Zhu Hongyi, step by step.

Before the Parlor Lord could speak—Wang Ke, in all seriousness, greeted in quite the natural way, “Parlor Lord, I’m one of your own!”
