Ahead, Yaohua's figure was becoming increasingly blurred.
"Yaohua!" Chongming was fending off the "people" surging towards him like a tide while trying to call out to Yaohua, who was walking further and further away.
He called out several times, but Yaohua didn't respond at all. Eventually, her figure disappeared completely.
"Get out of my way!" Chongming raised his long sword, which was exuding a cold and menacing aura, and swept it forcefully through the "people".
Most of the "people" surrounding them vanished in an instant, and Yaohua was gone for good.

When Yaohua finally came to her senses, she found herself in a strange place.
It was a land that seemed never to have been set foot on by anyone. There wasn't a sound to be heard. What was even more peculiar was that the land was snow - white.
There was not a trace of any living being's aura here. Yaohua observed for a moment and surprisingly felt a sense of peace in this place.
The restlessness in her heart due to Dan Dan's disappearance subsided at this moment.
Yaohua turned around in place and then slowly closed her eyes. Her body was filled with a serene and peaceful aura from within.
After a while, Yaohua slowly opened her eyes and this time carefully surveyed the place she was in.
There was nothing but a snow - white open space.
No plants, no animals, and no sound.
But why did her body feel so peaceful?
Yaohua couldn't help but place her hand on her chest to feel it. She had lived for many years, and in her long life, she had never seen such a strange place.
It was like a blessed land outside of Shenzhou, untouched by any polluted aura, the purest existence in the world.
But why had she ended up here?
Yaohua slowly recalled. Fortunately, her memory was still intact. She had been manipulated by an indescribable force to come here.
And Chongming's shouts when she left involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Thinking of this, Yaohua's heart ached. Just then, a gust of wind full of killing intent appeared out of thin air behind her. The wind carried a demonic aura that she could never mistake!
"Who's there!" Yaohua's eyes sharpened. She conjured a spell with her fingertips and shot it in the direction the wind was coming from.
"Mother!!!" A shout echoed in her mind. Yaohua's heart tightened. In this critical moment, she felt a familiar aura!
It was Dan Dan's!
Yaohua's composure faltered instantly. In that moment of distraction, a wave of demonic aura rushed towards her like a tidal wave.
The demonic aura invaded her body as soon as it touched her. Yaohua tilted her head back and let out a scream: "Aaaaah!!!"
After invading her body, the demonic aura spread even more rampantly. Yaohua tried her best to maintain her consciousness and resist the invasion of the demonic aura.
"Hehe, you're quite stubborn." A cold and eerie voice came from beside her ear.
The voice seemed to be smiling, but it was full of malice.
Her consciousness was getting more and more blurred. Yaohua gritted her teeth tightly. Her eyelids fluttered as she tried to see the person in front of her: "Who... are you!"
"Hehe, you still have the mood to care about other things at a time like this. Since you've resisted so tenaciously, I'll give you a great gift."
Yaohua opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, a blinding white light flashed and enveloped her.
Then the white light turned into a scroll, which directly sucked Yaohua's body into the picture on the scroll.
Yaohua only felt a blur in front of her eyes. When her vision returned, everything around her had changed.
She heard a familiar name.
"Chongming!"
However, the person shouting this name was a female voice. Yaohua squinted her eyes. When she saw Qing Yi standing side by side with Chongming, fighting together, she wished she could poke out her own eyes!
"Qing Yi, stand behind me. I'll protect you." Chongming held his long sword and pulled Qing Yi behind him as he spoke.
"I'm fine. I'm not afraid as long as you're here."
If an outsider saw them, they would probably think they were a loving couple.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Yaohua clenched her hands tightly.
Chongming looked exactly the same as when she left. Could it be that Chongming was really with Qing Yi at this moment?
It was so sad that he had told her before they set off that no matter what she saw, she should believe him. It turned out that he had already decided to come to Qing Yi...
Yaohua took a few staggering steps back. She felt as if her heart was bleeding.
Every frame of the scene that appeared stabbed her eyes deeply. Yaohua's heart ached so much that she no longer had the courage to watch.
Yaohua pinched the incantation with both hands and desperately used a spell to force herself out of the scene in front of her.
"So, does it hurt? The man you love has abandoned you and is now with another woman." The cold voice sounded again.
"Do you hate it?"
"Are you unwilling?"
One voice after another seemed to have magic.
Yaohua gritted her teeth tightly, on the verge of collapse: "Stop talking!"
"Hehe. If you still want to get your man back... See that stone in front of you? Inject the power in your body into that stone and you can get out of here and go back to him immediately."
Yaohua stared fixedly at the stone.
Go back to Chongming...
Involuntarily, she raised her hands, and strands of spiritual energy gathered on the stone.
Before long, the power in her body was completely depleted. Yaohua blinked and felt dizzy.
"Bang!" The stone that had been injected with spiritual energy made a loud noise and exploded into pieces that scattered around.
"Hehe, thank you."
In the empty world, a figure suddenly appeared.
Yaohua stared at the person. Her scattered vision gradually recovered. Her mind went blank, and then she fully woke up and realized what she had done!
It was said that the ancient Demon Lord was sealed in this mysterious place, and there was a mark of the Demon Lord between that person's eyebrows!
"Yaohua!"
Suddenly, Chongming's voice came.
Yaohua was stunned for a moment. Then she saw Chongming running towards her.
When she looked for the released Demon Lord, there was no trace of him.
"Yaohua, are you okay?" Chongming rushed over and tried to put his arm around Yaohua, but she subtly dodged.
Yaohua pretended not to notice Chongming's surprise and immediately told him about releasing the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord had been sealed for billions of years. Once released, it would be a huge disaster for the world.
The two of them stayed in the sealed place for a few hours. Just as they were about to leave, several figures suddenly appeared in the distance.
Taking a closer look, it was the new God Lord and the white - dressed woman.
Yaohua was about to ask them why they were here when the God Lord said, "The matter is complex and serious, so I'll make it brief. The sealed Demon Lord has reappeared. Besides, we felt the aura of the Bai Ze Clan when we came here just now."
Hearing this, Yaohua was shocked - the Bai Ze Clan never showed up unless there was unrest!
