Chapter 75: A Public Confession Gone Wrong
The oppressive force around them grew heavier and heavier, pressing so hard that every demon nearby seemed moments away from being crushed into the ground. Yun Jiao finally sighed, lifted her hand toward the sky, and called out loudly—
“Master! I’m here!”
The pressure in the air halted immediately. The figure hidden within that pillar of white light flickered, and in the blink of an eye appeared right before her, revealing a face of breathtaking beauty.
He scanned her from head to toe, confirming she wasn’t hurt. Only then did his expression ease slightly—but a heartbeat later, his brow furrowed again, darker and deeper with each passing moment.
