Although Zhao Wu's tone was fierce, he didn't actually do anything. Apparently, he was well aware of his current situation. "But if I go to the Phoenix Clan without any token, what if they mistake me for an ordinary demon and kill me?"
"You do have a point." Yaohua stuffed a token into Zhao Wu's hand. "Take this token to the Phoenix Clan. It'll serve as your proof. I'll go and rescue the hostages first."
Her eldest brother's injury couldn't wait any longer, and she also had to save the Dianzhu sisters.
Chongming carried her on his sword. "Let's go together."
Yaohua asked nervously, "Master, my eldest brother's injury is very serious. I think you should send him back to the Phoenix Clan first."
"Don't worry." Chongming seemed to see through her thoughts and comforted her. "Although Zhao Wu usually seems cold - blooded, heartless and unreliable, he's a smart man who values his own interests. Now that he's like a stray dog with nowhere to go, he has to cling tightly to the Phoenix Clan to survive."
So, for his own sake, he would surely escort Yan Ling safely to the Phoenix Clan.
"But I'm still a bit worried." Yaohua turned her head and looked back.
Chongming suddenly said, "Worried? I thought the relationship between you two had deepened to the point where you'd entrust your lives to each other."
"What?"
Yaohua never expected her master to say such a thing. She turned her head and met her master's cold eyes.
She was usually smart and resourceful, able to outwit the fierce demons that others feared. But she had never been able to read these eyes.
Chongming silently withdrew his gaze. "It's nothing."
"Is master blaming me for being false - hearted and using Zhao Wu?" Yaohua's smile was a bit bitter. "I had no other choice."
Chongming didn't know why he had suddenly said that. Zhao Wu was an extremely vicious and evil person who had done countless bad deeds. Even if he was used and bullied, it was just getting his just deserts.
Moreover, Yaohua had used him by offering benefits and had her own helpless reasons. He really shouldn't be too harsh on her.
He ruffled Yaohua's hair, as if trying to dispel the strange emotions in his heart. "It's okay."
Watching their receding backs, Zhao Wu scratched his head and gritted his teeth. "Something's not right. Even if we're going to save someone, it should be us, husband and wife, going together. Why is she going with her master? Dumb girl. I hope you won't cuckold me."
As soon as the master and disciple arrived at the Demon Clan, they were shocked to see arrows flying towards them like shooting stars. They quickly dodged.
"The Demon Clan doesn't usually like using bows and arrows. When Zhao Wu took action earlier, there were no bows and arrows in the Demon Clan. Why are there arrow formations everywhere now that we've returned?" Yaohua was full of doubts.
At this time, the demons suddenly made way for a path. Zhao Yue laughed brightly and boldly. "I knew you'd come!"
It turned out that Zhao Yue was good at reading people's minds. She had long guessed that they were behind this and that they would come back to save the Dianzhu sisters!
This arrow formation was set up just for them!
At this moment, she was wearing a long trailing dress. Her face was even more charming in the firelight. Holding a bow in her hand, her eyes were full of malice. "I knew it. How could my stupid younger brother suddenly have a good idea? It was you two who instigated him. Die!"
Having had the experience of fighting with them before, this time she was smarter. She only attacked them from a distance with magic arrows and sent the other demons to surround them.
The heavy rain of arrows put a lot of pressure on the master and disciple.
Yaohua was no easy target. She summoned the Fire Phoenix and fought back - to - back with Chongming. They cooperated tacitly and managed to fight their way through the demons, gradually approaching Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, looking a bit surprised. "Something's not right. How did your injury heal so quickly... Could it be that my stupid younger brother gave you the sacred healing item? Hmph, that was his life - saving thing!"
She laughed meaningfully. "It seems that you, the leader of the Phoenix Clan, are really extraordinary. You can even compare with the vixen from the Green Hill. You can hook up with both demons and celestial masters!"
She tried to provoke Yaohua's emotions with her words, but Yaohua had learned her lesson and ignored her filthy remarks, pretending to be deaf.
Seeing that the demons' siege couldn't do anything to the master and disciple, Zhao Yue frowned slightly, finding it a bit tricky.
She waved her hand, and a large cage was carried out. Inside were the Dianzhu sisters.
At this moment, the sisters were covered in blood. Their once - gorgeous clothes were now just shreds. Their eyes were full of tears, and their beautiful faces were like they had been burned by a branding iron, leaving only horrible scars.
Yaohua felt heart - broken and was thinking about how to rescue them.
However, what happened next caught her off guard.
Under Zhao Yue's order, the demons opened the cage and led out several big wolfhounds.
The wolfhounds' eyes were blood - red, and their private parts were standing upright like branding irons. They approached the sisters.
Zhao Yue laughed loudly. "Divine Master Chongming, Leader Yaohua, aren't you two the outstanding figures in the immortal world, always talking about benevolence and morality? You probably haven't seen the fun of these wolfhounds. Today, I'll let you two see what will happen to the sluts who betray me."
The Dianzhu sisters couldn't help shivering when they saw the red - eyed wolfhounds.
Yaohua felt extremely disgusted and horrified. Zhao Yue was a beast, trying to humiliate the Dianzhu sisters in such a way.
She let out an angry shout. The Fire Phoenix flew to the cage and firmly protected the sisters. The wolfhounds were scared away by the Fire Phoenix, and the other demons didn't dare to step forward.
But without the Fire Phoenix, she could only use the sword in her hand to block the demons' attacks, and she was a bit hard - pressed.
Zhao Yue laughed smugly. "If this goes on, you won't be able to hold on for long. I won't be like my stupid younger brother and hold you in my palm as the demon's wife. If I catch you, I'll surely make soup with your phoenix marrow and refine your bones and tendons into magic tools!"
"Humph, if you fall into my hands, I'll make your life a living hell." Yaohua retorted.
"You're all talk and no action." Zhao Yue showed a fierce look in her eyes, drew her bow and shot. "Without the Fire Phoenix, you're doomed!"
Three magic arrows flew towards them.
The other demons' cheers were like a wave. "Tear the phoenix apart! Roast the divine master! Long live the leader!"
In their eyes, the master and disciple were already like fish on the chopping block.
Some demons even laughed lewdly. "I wonder how a phoenix's body is different from an ordinary person's. How about using those wolfhounds to test her first - "
A new round of arrow rain came again. The demons were very excited because of Zhao Yue's words and rushed over one after another.
At this time, Chongming's eyes turned cold. "You dare to lay a finger on her? You're not even worthy!"
