The Azure Sparrow led Yaohua forward, basking in the worship of the common people. The spiritual energy around her transformed into fluttering azure feathers.
The common people were startled to see several extremely beautiful figures emerging from the valley. When they saw the illusions around the Azure Sparrow, they were immediately overjoyed. "The gods have descended to bless our Xun City!"
"The gods have descended to bless our Xun City!"
The voices of thousands of people merged into one, resounding with passion.
Even Yaohua was caught up in the atmosphere. Touched, she wanted to help up the chief magistrate of Xun City.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
The seemingly ordinary magistrate suddenly became surrounded by strange energy. Two horns grew from his head, and he transformed into a Heavenly Demon!
All the common people were also illusions created by the Heavenly Demons. With fierce looks in their eyes, they charged towards the three of them.
"How could so many Heavenly Demons suddenly appear?" Yaohua asked in surprise as she fought against the Heavenly Demons.
At that moment, she felt her wrist loosen. The chain connecting her to Lu Ran had been cut.
Lu Ran was snatched away by a figure in green clothes. Looking at the green figure, she was both shocked and angry. "It's you? Put Lu Ran down right now!"
In mid-air, the little Heavenly Demon in green made a face at her and flew away.
A virtual image of a Fire Phoenix appeared behind her. Just as she was about to chase after it, she heard the Azure Sparrow let out a pained cry.
Then, his body slumped softly onto her shoulder.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?" she asked anxiously.
The Azure Sparrow said weakly, "Sorry, Junior Sister. I accidentally got injured. I'm afraid I've been poisoned..."
The system clicked its tongue and said, "Host, he's lying to you. Don't believe him! I just saw him stretch out his hand and let the Heavenly Demon injure him."
The blade of the Heavenly Demon was poisoned. Whether it was true or not, the Azure Sparrow was seriously injured and unable to move.
Yaohua couldn't leave him behind to chase after Lu Ran. She could only fight while retreating and returned to the restriction in the valley.
On the other side, Lu Ran was taken away by the little Heavenly Demon in green and flew higher and higher.
He struggled unwillingly. "Let me go! You lecher. If you want to avenge your companions, just give me a quick death!"
The little Heavenly Demon in green thought innocently for a moment. "Since you've sincerely requested it, okay."
After saying that, four chains condensed from demonic energy appeared on his limbs. Then, the little Heavenly Demon in green let go and dropped him.
Falling from a height of ten thousand meters, even though Lu Ran was a celestial official, with his spiritual energy sealed, he would surely be smashed into a pulp. Even his soul after death would be eroded by the demonic energy and eventually vanish into thin air.
He screamed as he fell and landed on a body with a thud.
Rong Chu's forehead veins twitched. "Are you so immoral, playing with high-altitude throwing?"
When he saw the face of the person in his arms, his anger turned to joy immediately. "Lu Ran, you escaped?"
Lu Ran never expected that he would land on Rong Chu, who had come to find him.
He immediately took out the photo crystal he carried with him. "Don't mention this for now. I have something important to tell you."
The photo crystal showed the daily interactions between Yaohua and the Azure Sparrow.
Rong Chu said in shock, "So the little princess is still alive, but someone else has stolen her heart. No, we can't deal with that Azure Sparrow. We must report this to the supreme god immediately!"
The paper crane carrying the information flew smoothly to the Cangling Hall.
However, the Cangling Hall was closed at this moment.
Chongming was sitting in the cultivation room. His vital energy was surging violently, and demonic energy was swirling around him. He was completely unaware of the information from the outside world.
On Earth.
More and more Heavenly Demons gathered outside the valley. The protective formation was on the verge of collapse.
The Azure Sparrow and Yaohua were sitting in the center of the formation, continuously supplying spiritual energy and controlling the formation.
However, Yaohua's attainments in the formation were not high, so she couldn't help much. Looking at the surrounding Heavenly Demons, she was extremely anxious. "Otherwise, I'll just kill my way out!"
"Junior Sister, don't be impulsive." The Azure Sparrow said intently, "These Heavenly Demons should not be able to break through this formation, but..."
"Since they can't deal with us, they will go and harm the surrounding common people. If I'm not wrong, the Wolf Clan and Xun City beside us must have been severely damaged by now!"
Yaohua continued.
Seeing the seriousness on her beautiful face, the Azure Sparrow felt a bit soft-hearted. Originally, he just wanted to take Yaohua away from this troubled place. But Yaohua was still as kind as ever. If he didn't assist his junior sister and showed his heartlessness, he might not be able to win her heart.
Thinking like this, he nodded. "I think so too. So I've set up a secret passage behind the formation. After an hour, we'll leave through the secret passage. In this way, we can help the common people exterminate the Heavenly Demons and avoid being surrounded by them."
"Senior Brother, you're so smart!" Yaohua couldn't help but show admiration.
An hour later, the Azure Sparrow got up and led her into the valley.
The two walked out of the secret passage and took a deep breath looking at the blue sky outside.
But at that moment, a sharp whistle sounded.
It was a Heavenly Demon blowing the whistle desperately.
Soon, a large number of Heavenly Demons chased after them and sneered. "They're really here!"
"Hahaha! Look at your pathetic looks. Do you think just because you have a formation master, we Heavenly Demons don't?"
Seeing that they couldn't escape, Yaohua showed a fierce look. "Just in time!"
A blazing Fire Phoenix appeared behind her. She charged towards the group of Heavenly Demons and burned the Heavenly Demon holding the formation disk in the center to ashes.
At this time, Rong Chu also rushed over in a hurry.
In the vast group of Heavenly Demons, he was like a ray of light. Yaohua couldn't help but pause. "Why is there another little celestial official?"
"It must be an illusion of the Heavenly Demons." When the Azure Sparrow saw Rong Chu, his eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that Lu Ran would escape so quickly after being captured and even find his companions.
No, he mustn't let Yaohua be taken away by these people!
The Fire Phoenix danced wantonly among the Heavenly Demons. Wherever it passed, a group of Heavenly Demons would die. But Rong Chu didn't know that the range of the fire's damage also included him.
The Fire Phoenix suddenly let out a clear cry, and the flames erupted. Feeling the blazing fire wave, he was stunned and shouted anxiously, "Little Princess, it's me!"
But in the fire wave and the screams, his voice couldn't be heard at all.
In a critical moment, Lu Ran rushed over and jumped into the fire wave.
Seeing this, Yaohua quickly stopped. "Lu Ran, why are you here?"
Still in shock, Lu Ran protected Rong Chu in front of him. "Little Princess, this is Celestial Official Rong. We came together to protect you."
Thinking that she almost killed the innocent Celestial Official Rong, Yaohua couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
To avoid suspicion, the Azure Sparrow said, "Sorry, we thought it was an illusion of the Heavenly Demons."
