Chapter 123 She is not Xue Lan!
Xue Lan continued to fall, like a butterfly with broken wings, being swallowed by the surging demonic tide below.
【Xue Lan!】
Xue Tong wanted to jump down after Xue Lan, but was held back by the little puppet next to Yan Chengxue.
"Xue Lan will be fine. Don't go down and cause trouble!"
The little girl turned to look at Yan Chengxue, her eyes red-rimmed like a little rabbit's.
You don't understand, she's dying!
Xue Tong looked at the system panel, which was flashing with the message that the host's life was hanging by a thread, and cried out in despair.
Yan Chengxue was maintaining the Myriad Manifestations Array when a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of the young man's mouth. His voice was somewhat hoarse: "That won't do either. She entrusted you to me, so I can't let you go down."
The young immortal formed another hand seal, and a ring appeared at Xue Tong's feet, slowly rising and transforming into a golden cage.
Another horde of demonic beasts attacked from afar. Having lost their minds, they stumbled and crashed into the Myriad Manifestations Array, falling repeatedly into the Thousand-Weaving Cave. The beasts below screamed in agony as they slammed into them.
[Yan Chengxue! She's still down there, she'll die!] Xue Tong frantically pounded on the cage in front of her, anxious but unable to find an exit.
Yan Chengxue looked at Xue Tong, a smile that was a mixture of madness and relief flashing in the young man's eyes.
"It depends on her fate!"
The boy completed the last seal of the great formation, slowly took a few steps back, and looked down at the surging demonic tide. Tens of thousands of demonic beasts struggled in the Thousand Weaving Cave, one stepping on another, trying to climb out, but none of them succeeded. Those demonic beasts that finally reached the edge were pulled back into the ground by the constantly shaking ground.
Yan Chengxue slumped weakly beside Xue Tongdi. It was already the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), and the rain gradually subsided, falling on the boy's face like a soft veil.
The purple sword light on the horizon kept colliding with the demonic light. He knew that it was the Purple Cloud Daoist Lord of the Crimson Cloud Sect fighting against the demons.
The Thousand Weaving Cave below was filled within half an hour, and the low-level magical beasts behind it stumbled and staggered towards Fuyang City, stepping over the corpses of their own kind.
However, Yan Chengxue no longer had the strength to care. The Myriad Manifestations Array had exhausted his last bit of magical power, and he was in great pain.
The little puppet ran into the boy's arms and raised its hand to wipe the cold sweat from Yan Chengxue's forehead.
However, the puppet strings wrapped around the boy's hand tightened slightly, and the little puppet drooped its head helplessly.
Just then, a loud sword cry rang out from below. A sharp sword light grazed Yan Chengxue's face and disappeared into the sky, slicing off half of the floating platform.
A dark shadow flew up from the Thousand Weaving Cave below and transformed into Xue Lan's figure in front of Yan Chengxue.
Yan Chengxue breathed a sigh of relief. The young man slowly stood up, preparing to pat Xue Lan on the shoulder: "How come you..."
The boy's voice stopped abruptly because he saw Xue Lan's eyes. Xue Lan turned her head slightly, revealing a pair of round pupils that appeared eerily grayish-white, as if... she were blind.
A sword aura appeared beside her, and Yan Chengxue subconsciously activated the protective formation that Master Chen had given him. She watched as the girl in front of her formed a sword finger with her right hand and gently flicked the formation.
With a "crack!", Yan Chengxue's protective array barrier shattered into fragments and exploded before the boy's eyes.
Xue Tong's voice was shrill and piercing: "She's not Xue Lan!"
But it was too late. The girl slapped Yan Chengxue on the shoulder. The slap was like a cloud in the sky gently landing on her shoulder, but it pressed Yan Chengxue down onto the suspended platform and embedded her into the stone slab.
The girl spoke softly: "Pathetic!"
Blood flowed across half the platform beneath Yan Chengxue's body. He heard the "Xue Lan" in front of him ask, "The Demon Tide? Where did it go?"
Yan Chengxue remained silent, but Xue Tong, who was locked in a cage behind her, suddenly spoke up: "Fuyang City!"
Xue Lan slowly stood up, and the immense force on Yan Chengxue's shoulder was relieved, but a sharp pain instantly assaulted him. The pain made his vision blur.
Xue Lan looked at Xue Tong with a faint smile on her lips.
The little girl froze, staring at the words displayed on the system panel in front of her:
The host is out of danger.
Xue Lan is out of danger, but is she still her host now?
Or is it the inner demon imprisoned in Xue Lan's sea of consciousness?
Before she could finish thinking, the girl in black transformed into a streak of dark magic and flew towards Fuyang City.
Yan Chengxue's mouth was covered in blood: "She's possessed by a demon. What is she trying to do now?"
"Fuyang City!"
In Fuyang City, Cui Wu stood on the city wall, with Li Sihai, who was soaking wet, standing beside him.
The girl's voice was gentle and serene: "Mr. Li, please go and rest. There will be a major battle in Fuyang City soon, and it will be inconvenient for me to look after you."
"Thank you, Miss Cui, thank you, Miss Cui!" Li Sihai nodded and bowed repeatedly to the girl in front of him, and was then led away by a soldier.
Cui Wu heard the approaching roars of the demonic beasts, and his expression was inscrutable.
The girl waved to the soldier behind her, who immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Cui."
Cui Wu spoke calmly, his voice like a gentle breeze before dawn, slightly suppressed: "Send three thousand elite soldiers to invite that noble person from the City Lord's Mansion."
The soldiers received their orders and descended the city wall. In the distance, the eyes of those enormous magical beasts could already be seen, emitting an eerie glow in the dark, rainy night.
Cui Wu recalled the shouts he had heard earlier.
"Sister!"
She murmured something softly, then Cui Wu's expression hardened with determination and confidence. The girl turned and swept her sleeves around.
"Fuyang City garrison, launch the Demon Crossbow!"
A horde of demonic beasts surged toward Fuyang City, only to be met by a rain of arrows. Each arrow, trailing flames, streaked across the sky like meteors, piercing the flesh of the demonic beasts.
Although Xue Lan and Yan Chengxue's prior arrangements had stopped some of the magical beasts, the remaining group was still considerable, and each one was an elite among the low-level magical beasts. Looking at the enormous human city before them, their eyes gleamed with greed.
That was the desire for slaughter, the craving for food.
The first group of demonic beasts began attacking the Thousand-Layer Golden Formation, led by a four-legged demonic beast that repeatedly rammed into the formation in front of it.
But the next second, the monster's head was severed by a sharp sword flash. Its body turned into a pile of putrid black mud beneath the city wall.
Cui Wu saw a familiar figure standing in mid-air outside the city.
"Master... Sister..."
Before Cui Wu could finish speaking, he saw a figure in mid-air raise his hand, and a monstrous sword aura instantly filled the surrounding area, sweeping across the battlefield with a bone-chilling cold, forming a massive ice wall outside Fuyang City.
Xue Lan's figure transformed into a bolt of black lightning, reaping the lives of countless magical beasts on the battlefield. Every magical beast with even a modicum of sentience was beheaded by her.
The girl seemed devoid of emotion, completely unconcerned that her clothes were stained with blood.
"Lord Changjun, will you regret it too?" the girl murmured softly.
Another voice came from within the sea of consciousness.
"meeting!"
The girl who had fainted beside the wooden door in her mind finally woke up. She slowly raised her hand and placed it on the wooden door.
The stagnant runes began to flow again, and a stream of dark demonic energy was drawn out of Xue Lan's body, eventually returning to the wooden door.
"How laughable! It's nothing but a mere demon soul! It's filled with regret and is utterly useless!"
"See you next time!"
"Right now, you should think about how to face her!"
The voice of the inner demon echoed in her ears, and Xue Lan finally regained control of her body. The girl wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and was shocked to find that everything before her eyes was pitch black.
It's a wolf's head, and a wolf's head has no eyes! That's why Xue Lan went blind after the fusion.
The girl fell from mid-air and landed at the foot of the city wall of Luoxia City.
The icy power at her fingertips had not yet dissipated, and Xue Lan ignored the magical beast in front of her and the gradually melting ice wall.
"Trouble!"
Before the passage between the Upper and Lower Realms of Yuanming, Lei Yuncheng looked at the white-haired woman before him: "Is Lord Lan planning to steal from her?"
The woman in white opposite smiled gently: "Of course not, Ember!"
The immortal sword behind the woman slowly floated to her front: "I only sent Jin Guang down to take a look. What instructions does Lord Lei have?"
Lei Yuncheng couldn't object, so the man slowly stepped aside, and the Emberlight Sword transformed into a sword shadow and disappeared into the clouds.
Lei Yun clearly didn't want to stay there any longer, so he gave a few perfunctory words and left. After his aura disappeared, the white-haired woman who had been standing there gradually became ethereal and finally vanished from the spot.
"Xue Lan...you'd better really be dead!"
Xue Lan leaned against the city wall, rubbed her temples, and felt a chill creeping up her spine.
The girl knocked on Xue Tong's door: "I'm back!"
"Interested in going to hide in the human world with me?"
