Chapter 1272: The True and False Imperial Seal
When Yu Youyu arrived in the Southern Domain, she once again laid eyes on that familiar face.
Beneath the city wall, Yan Nantian fought fiercely against the demons. He drove his sword into a demon's brow, pulling the blade free in a spray of blood that drenched him.
He let out a roar, but the dying demon managed to rake its claws viciously across him in its final moments.
The strike left a deep, bloody gouge across his chest.
Yan Nantian merely raised a hand to tap a few acupoints to staunch the bleeding before throwing himself into another tide of demons.
Yu Youyu watched the chaos unfolding below, her eyes devoid of their usual radiance. She simply stood there and watched, doing nothing to intervene.
Human strength had its limits, and Yan Nantian was no exception. Against the relentless demonic assault in the Southern Domain, the defenders had to fight in shifts. They either died on the battlefield, or they managed to pull back in time to recover their strength before rejoining the fray.
When Yan Nantian finally retreated into the city and lifted his head, he noticed her eyes fixed upon him.
He met Yu Youyu's gaze and frowned slightly.
