When the wounded mortals were caught in the rain, their wounds healed instantly. In contrast, the Heavenly Demons drenched by the rain panicked, and large gashes appeared on their originally intact bodies.
Yaohua summoned a water mirror to check the situation across the Divine Land. Several of her elder brothers were greatly weakened during the spell - casting process, but seeing the excellent results of their efforts, they couldn't help but feel relieved.
Just then, news came from the Phoenix Clan. Yanling was shocked: "No good! The White Bird Clan, in alliance with the Ibis Clan and the Wolf Clan, has invaded our clan!"
Qingcang's funeral had exposed the location of the Phoenix Clan, and these three clans took the opportunity to launch an attack. For a moment, no one could stop them, and they wantonly massacred the Phoenix Clan.
Without delay, they quickly rushed back.
Yaohua looked at the smoky battlefield, filled with doubts. It was understandable for the Ibis Clan to attack, but why did the other two clans join forces against the Phoenix Clan?
After their return, the strength of the Phoenix Clan increased significantly, and they managed to hold the three - clan alliance at bay.
At this time, a team of soldiers came from the rear. Their clothes were tattered. Seeing their appearance, Yaohua blurted out: "Are you soldiers of the Dragon Clan? Why do you look so disheveled?"
The soldiers were both ashamed and indignant. "Clan Chief of the Phoenix Clan, you may not know. We heard that the Phoenix Clan was under attack and rushed to the rescue. However, we were ambushed by the White Bird Clan on the way, and few of our soldiers survived."
Chongming felt extremely guilty. "It's my fault. I didn't think of this, which led to the unnecessary sacrifice of the Dragon Clan's soldiers."
Yaohua comforted him with grief. "It's all fate. Don't think too much. What we should do now is avenge the dead."
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure and exclaimed, "Zhaojun? Why are you here?"
Zhaojun laughed proudly. "Didn't you expect me to get out? Hahaha!"
Yaohua said coldly, "No matter how you escaped, you're doomed in my hands."
With that, she summoned the Fire Phoenix. However, Zhaojun quickly squeezed out a round jade ball from his hand. The jade ball transformed into a huge barrier that firmly blocked her True Phoenix Fire.
Zhaojun said proudly, "If I didn't have some tricks up my sleeve, how could I dare to launch an attack? You rely on the True Phoenix Fire, but now it's useless. Let's see how you can deal with me!"
Yaohua snorted, "It's too early to be so smug."
She took out the Fuji Qin and played it. The sound waves made the Heavenly Demons cover their ears in great pain.
Zhaojun didn't expect this and immediately covered his ears, rolling on the ground in agony.
Yaohua used magic to tie him up and drew her sword, slashing off his arm.
There was no normal blood in his body. After the arm was cut off, the meridians inside were exposed. It turned out that his body was made of lotus roots.
Yaohua cut off all his limbs but still wasn't satisfied. Just as she was about to kill him, the system suddenly woke up. "Host, what are you doing?"
She was startled, and Zhaojun accurately seized this opportunity. His soul escaped from the body and disappeared in an instant.
Yaohua was extremely annoyed and asked the system impatiently, "System, why did you wake up suddenly?"
"What, are you surprised to see me wake up? Do you wish I'd never wake up?" The system's tone was also unfriendly.
"Of course not," Yaohua quickly replied. "I missed you so much."
The system clearly didn't believe her. "Then why did you seal me?"
Yaohua pretended to be stupid. "When did I seal you? I have no impression of that at all."
The system was skeptical. "Could it really not be you who sealed me?"
Yaohua quickly explained, "Of course not. But the God of War Chenyu checked my body before. Maybe he sensed your existence and silently sealed you without telling me, so I didn't know."
Only then did the system's attitude soften. "I see. Then host, you should have less contact with him in the future. It took me a lot of effort to break through the seal this time."
Seeing that she had managed to deceive the system, Yaohua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "To wake you up, I killed many Heavenly Demons. Did you receive them?"
The system was half - believing. "Maybe it's because of the seal. I didn't receive any demonic energy."
Yaohua showed evidence by summoning the water mirror and letting the system see the tragic situation of the Heavenly Demons before their deaths.
Only then did the system completely believe her.
Seeing that she had gained its trust, Yaohua complained, "I haven't settled the score with you yet. I was about to seal Zhaojun again, but because of you, he ran away!"
The system knew it was in the wrong and apologized to her. "Sorry, I should have spoken later. But I thought you deliberately sealed me, so I asked you."
Seeing that its words were sincere, Yaohua said, "Forget it. It's okay. We can catch him next time."
Then she changed the subject. "By the way, why did you control my body without my consent?"
The system thought for a while. "Host, I did all this for your own good. The power of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon is extremely powerful. If others get it, it may turn into a threat against you."
Yaohua was angry. "But if I come into contact with the power of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon, won't I turn into a demon?"
"Of course not," the system quickly replied. "How could I harm you? I can absorb the power of the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon and then create more seeds and food. Everything will develop in a good direction."
Yaohua pretended to believe it after being coaxed. "Well, I should have actively fought for it earlier. Then Chongming wouldn't have had to seal himself in the Danyaoshan Mountain."
She asked actively, "Do you know where else the Nine - Heavens Dark Demon is sealed? We can find it in advance to prevent Qingque and the others from getting there first."
The system was very happy. "Good idea! It's a pity that I can't sense other powers now. I need to rely on the power in Qingque's body."
Yaohua took out a paper crane and sent a message to Chongming, hinting that the system had returned.
Chongming replied, "Don't worry. I've cultivated a clone and can move freely."
Yaohua was overjoyed.
At this moment, Chongming used his clone to come to the Cangling Hall and happened to see a sneaky figure.
He shouted, "Qingque?"
Qingque was holding something in his hand. Hearing this, his eyes showed guilt, and he quickly left.
Seeing this, Chongming took a few steps forward and directly captured him.
"Let me go!" Qingque glared at him angrily.
But Chongming took out his sword from his waist with a cold look and killed him with one strike.
Qingque's head rolled on the ground a few times. His eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe he would be killed so soon.
Chongming returned to the Danyaoshan Mountain and met Yaohua. He saw Yaohua spitting out blood and asked, "What's going on?"
