The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Tian Sisi could sense the aura of Zisang Jin's life within the peach blossom. As long as the blossom hadn't withered, Zisang Jin was still alive.

This was a promise sealed with her very life!

Tian Sisi clutched the peach blossom. "Senior Sister, I promise you!"

Immediately, the leaf-shaped Dao Essence between Zisang Jin's brows swayed and shone. In an instant, it sprouted branches and a single flower bloomed. Zisang Jin's entire being then dissolved into flower petals and vanished.

A deeper solemnity settled on Fu Haitang's brow.

"Let's go. We'll return to the array. Your Senior Sister has already used her Dao Essence, so breaking out won't be difficult. We have more to do—we need to hold back these Nascent Soul Demon Kings and reduce the pressure on them!"

The Demon Race had already reacted. They realized why the Female Cultivator who practiced the Path of Extreme Emotion had been unable to resist attacking—it was undoubtedly because of that man named Chen Dong.

The fall of the Cyan Emperor was no secret, and the flaw of the Path of Extreme Emotion was also widely known among the Demon Race. Back then, the person the Cyan Emperor had dedicated his emotions to was a woman from the Fox Demon Race. Once they understood this, they knew that as long as they killed this man named Chen Dong, the threat from the Female Cultivator would neutralize itself.

Ao Tian was suddenly thrilled. He didn't even need to mobilize the Demon Kings; many had already taken the initiative to notify their clans and begin searching for any trace of Chen Dong.

While Fu Haitang was discussing their strategy, the Demon Race had already dispatched a large group of Demon Kings skilled in tracking to give chase, leaving half their number behind to guard the exit of the Guardian Array.

The strength of the Human Race was not to be underestimated. They didn't dare send too many Demon Kings away, fearing they would be picked off one by one.

Suddenly, they felt a gentle breeze, like the natural caress of a spring wind. The more sensitive members of the Demon Race could even detect a trace of a human's aura flowing past within it.

"Dao Essence! It's the Cyan Leaf Wandering Dao Essence!"

"Zisang Jin is out! She's trying to rescue someone, don't let her escape!" many of the Demon Kings roared.

The two sides had fought for a long time; they recognized such a familiar technique the moment they sensed it.

Instantly, Butterfly Dust Divine Technique, Fog Divine Technique, Illusory Light Divine Technique... all sorts of Divine Techniques meant to hinder pursuit were unleashed.

But just then, tens of thousands of Spirit Swords shot out like meteors, raining down upon the demons.

"Despicable Human Race! It's a Battle Array!!!"

Instantly, the Human Race engaged the Demon Race, locking them in combat with their Battle Array.

In contrast to the overwhelming battle before the Guardian Array, Zisang Jin was already a thousand li away, carried off like a falling leaf.

Sensing that the Demon Kings behind had not caught up, Zisang Jin checked Chen Dong's location and drifted away like a leaf.

Meanwhile, Chen Dong was still heading toward Earth Sinking Mountain, feeling extremely curious. 'Why are so many powerful Divine Senses sweeping over this area again and again after Ao Tian left? Could this Ao Jun I'm holding really be that important?'

They moved with extreme caution, no longer daring to fly directly as they had before.

Liu Ling also began searching for nearby demon beasts to ask about the whereabouts of Murong Qing and the others.

According to the information Chen Dong had, Murong Qing's squad only had three Golden Core Stage members. As long as they passed through the territory of these demon beasts, there should be some information, even if the beasts didn't attack them.

After Liu Ling questioned several demon beasts, she learned there was indeed a Golden Core squad ahead, but it wasn't Murong Qing's. This squad had eight Golden Core Cultivators, making it a relatively strong team. No wonder they dared to venture so deep into the Demon Realm.

Chen Dong had no intention of meeting up with this squad and continued toward Earth Sinking Mountain instead.

But an hour later, the sounds of a fight broke out several li away.

When Chen Dong swept his Divine Sense over the area, he found seventeen humans in a Battle Array, struggling against a Golden-winged Demon. There were exactly eight Golden Core Cultivators among them. Behind the Golden-winged Demon stood another demon; though it wasn't revealing its aura or attacking, Chen Dong could still sense that both were at the Nascent Soul Stage.

If not for the second demon, the seventeen humans might have had a chance to escape. After all, the Golden-winged Demon they were fighting was only at the Early-stage Nascent Soul Realm. But with another Nascent Soul Stage demon present, the seventeen of them were almost certainly doomed to die.

Chen Dong repeatedly warned himself, 'Don't get involved. I'm in a dangerous situation myself...'

As he hurried on his way, he kept his Divine Sense locked on the battle. The older-looking demon in the back was laughing cruelly, while the one in the front seemed to be toying with them...

Chen Dong, who had already started to move away, sensed through his Divine Sense that the seventeen-person Battle Array was on the verge of collapsing. They wouldn't last another quarter of an hour before being defeated.

'Damn it!' "Qingzhu, Great Divination Arts!"

Instantly, within his Divine Sense, the two demons appeared like blood-soaked Asuras, completely crimson. Among the humans, some were also crimson, but ten of them shone with a white light, marking them as good people.

'Forget it. I'll just have to do my best!'

Chen Dong instantly rushed toward the site of the battle.

Following behind, Liu Ling's expression first lit up with joy, then fell. She thought, 'Master really is a kind person... but the rift between the Human Race and the Demon Race... Sigh. As long as Meng Yingluo doesn't make a move on him, I guess I'd better not tell my clan about this.'

The seventeen-person Battle Array was constantly on guard against the demon watching from the side, making them timid in their fight against the one they were facing. They didn't dare to use their full strength in either attack or defense. With their resolve wavering, some among the seventeen were even thinking of fleeing on their own.

The demon in the fight laughed loudly. "Fine, I'm done playing. All of you can go die! Golden Rainbow's Breath!"

Several afterimages split off, attacking the Battle Array at incredible speed. This was one of the Innate Divine Techniques of the Golden Roc Race.

But at that very moment, a clap of azure thunder echoed. Celestial Thunder descended in an instant, its target not the demon in the fight, but the older demon watching from the sidelines!
