At the Dark Earth Realm’s gate.

　　Gu Ruoyun could hear the Three-Headed Hell Dragon roaring from a far distance away. Its devastating roars carries an aura which could shatter bamboo.

　　“What’s going on?”

　　Gu Ruoyun gently furrowed her brows as she looked towards the direction of the roaring. She then calmly asked, “Could it be that the Three-Headed Hell Dragon is fighting someone?”

　　Qianbei Ye fell silent for a moment as a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, “Come, let’s go investigate.”

　　He then wrapped his arms around Gu Ruoyun’s waist as they hurried into the distance.

　　…

　　The Three-Headed Hell Dragon was looming furiously over a black-robed man under a red sky which looked like it was filled with magnificent raging flames. The expression on all three of its heads was full of fearsome malice.

　　“Damned kid, I should never have allowed you to escape on that day! I didn’t think that you would gain so much power after a short absence! However, it’s unfortunate that you’re now a puppet, fated to become someone’s slave for the rest of your life. Hahaha!”

　　The black-robed man did not say a word and he seemed to have forgotten how to speak. He only behaved like a machine as he attached the Three-Headed Hell Dragon without pause. His behavior was almost obsessive and his blows became more fearsome until he was soon drenched in blood.

　　He does not know why he wants to fight the Three-Headed Hell Dragon but all he knew was that the Three-Headed Hell Dragon has to die here! He would only feel at peace when it dies.

　　“Big Brother?”

　　Suddenly, a voice full of surprise rang out from behind the black-robed man and caused him to freeze on the spot.

　　He slowly raised his head. At that moment, a delicate and pretty face entered his line of sight.

　　“Big Brother, so you’re the one who is fighting the Three-Headed Hell Dragon.” Gu Ruoyun slowly descended from the sky as her clear and limpid eyes stared at Gu Shengxiao’s grim and aloof features. “Not too long ago, you had run off just like that and I had been unable to tell you many things. Now, I only wish to tell you to not worry. I will save you no matter what!”

　　Gu Shengxiao’s expression showed signs of a struggle. He stared at the woman who was now standing nearby and clutched his head in agony as if he wants to go to her but was unable to reach her side.

　　He could not help but cry out from the agony. After letting out that cry, he immediately left without turning back and quickly disappeared beneath the blood-colored sky.

　　“Cough, cough.”

　　The Three-Headed Hell Dragon spat out a mouthful of blood as it stared at Gu Shengxiao who was heading off into the distance with malevolent eyes. It then slowly turned its gaze towards Qianbei Ye and exclaimed in mild surprise, “You’re still alive!”

　　Qianbei Ye laughed icily, “Do you really think those pieces of trash could actually hurt me? Even though I’m not as powerful as I was ten thousand years ago, those good-for-nothings are still no match for me. Three-Headed Hell Dragon, you’ve been heavily injured by Gu Shengxiao’s attack. Therefore, you won’t be able to stop my departure.”

　　“Besides…” Qianbei Ye paused as his eyes filled with malice, “Isn’t it time for us to clear your debt of betrayal from that time?”

　　The Three-Headed Hell Dragon’s expression displayed an obvious change and a cold light flashed across its eyes.

　　“Qianbei Ye, you seem to have forgotten that I am indestructible at the gates of the Dark Earth Realm! This is why no one has been able to pass through these gates despite the countless number of powerful cultivators in the Dark Earth Realm.”

　　“That’s true, you are indeed indestructible here. Otherwise, I would not have placed you to guard the gates to the Dark Earth Realm back then.” Qianbei Ye chuckled softly but his smile was filled with a gloomy murderous intent. “However, I can confine you within a circle and have you imprisoned within that circle to suffer endless torment forever right here!”
