“I understand.”

　　Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly as she spoke.

　　She knows that no matter what, the Honorable Sir Tianqi would be on her side. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have personally finished Shi Yun off.

　　He had done that so her grudge against Kun Nan would not continue to grow. Little did he know, however, that she already carried a great grudge against Kun Nan.

　　“Lady Gu, there aren’t many among the youth who deserves my admiration. You’re the only one.” Elder Jiu smiled, “Even though I agree with the Honorable Sir Tianqi and would prefer you to deal with these people after the Demon War, I will not stop you from doing so. In the future, if you have the time, you may come and visit me at the Courts of Hell. I will certainly provide you with the best treatment possible.”

　　Elder Jiu may not think much of it at this moment but in the future, Gu Ruoyun would indeed need to pay the Courts of Hell a visit…

　　“Thank you very much, Elder Jiu.” Gu Ruoyun said before slowly redirecting her gaze towards Zixie’s handsome face. “Zixie, do it. I want every member of the Immortal Realm who has shown their face here slaughtered.”

　　Zixie curled his lips into a smile. His purple eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the people gathered before him.

　　Without warning, an infinite amount of purple flames rose from his feet and burst into his surroundings. It burned the desert from the ground and enveloped the crowd within a fiery furnace. Then, the man’s demonic voice rang aloud.

　　“The flames of extermination can burn through almost anything and is difficult to extinguish. I’ll let you all enjoy the taste of it right here, right now.”

　　They were terrified out of their minds…

　　After he spoke, he gently turned around and looked with heartache at the girl in green who was drenched in blood.

　　“Little girl, every time I appear, you’re always covered in new scars. When are you ever going to take care of yourself?”

　　Gu Ruoyun kept quiet and gently clenched her fist as she sighed.

　　After all that has been said and done, my powers are still not strong enough. 

　　If I had been powerful enough, I would not have been thrashed about so badly by those Martial Honors. 

　　“Cough, cough.”

　　Suddenly, Qianbei Ye began to cough and spat out a mouthful of blood. The sight of it startled Gu Ruoyun and she hurriedly rushed to support him.

　　“Xiao Ye, are you alright?” She asked worriedly.

　　Qianbei Ye shook his head and looked up at her pretty, delicate features as if he could never stop looking at it.

　　“Xiao Ye!!!”

　　Gu Ruoyun’s heart tightened. She did not know why but she felt a strong sense of discomfort taking over her heart It caused her to tighten her hold on to Qianbei Ye’s hand until it began to tremble.

　　“Xiao Yun…” Qianbei Ye smiled and looked absolutely magnificent. It was a smile that could drive all living things to insanity, “I may need to leave your side for a little while.”

　　“Leave? Why?”

　　Gu Ruoyun was dumbfounded and she was unable to decipher the situation.

　　“Because…”

　　He was about to explain himself but a powerful force began to clash within his body, causing his brows to furrow in agony. His already pale face was now completely drained of color. The hint of blood on the corner of his lips was absolutely heartbreaking.

　　“Xiao Ye!!!”

　　Gu Ruoyun’s voice trembled.

　　Then, before the sound of her cry could fade away, the man slowly collapsed. He unwillingly closed his blood-red eyes and looked as if he had fallen into an eternal slumber.

　　“Zixie, what’s happening to Xiao Ye?”

　　Gu Ruoyun was gripped with anxiety and her eyes were awash with worry.

　　“Little girl,” Zixie glanced at Qianbei Ye as a complicated look flashed across his eyes, “His body holds a powerful force sealed within it. As an amnesiac, he is unable to control it. Earlier on, he had assumed that you were dead so in his rage, he had unleashed that power. However, because he was unable to control it, that power is now countercharging against him”
