After much deliberation, Xiaoling finally reached a conclusion.
"Master, just speculating here won't solve the problem. The person who tied the bell to the tiger must untie it. Maybe all these puzzles will be solved once you meet the prince."
Feng Yunshu nodded. "Well, for now, this is the only option."
Feng Yunshu subconsciously increased the release of her spiritual power, eager to arrive faster. However, when she was about to enter the Wuz Kingdom, an unexpected situation occurred.
"Master, look! There's a bright light in the forest below. It's so intense that it shines into the sky!"
Feng Yunshu naturally noticed this strange phenomenon. Before she could figure out what was going on, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the source of the strangeness.
"Zhu Shan, today it's either you or me who dies. If it weren't for you back then, our Liuxian School wouldn't have fallen apart overnight. If it weren't for you, how would the demons dare to break the agreement and run amok in the Three Realms, endangering all sentient beings?!"
"You despicable and heinous devil. Release the fifth princess quickly, or I, Kong Ze, will never let you succeed even if I die today!"
Feng Yunshu's heart skipped a beat, and Xiaoling was even more stunned. "Master, this voice... Isn't this the voice of the third senior brother? Could it be that the two people fighting ahead are the third senior brother and Zhu Shan?!"
Feng Yunshu could hardly believe it. "If the prince is really Zhu Shan, could this be the reason why the prince appeared near the Wuz Kingdom?!"
Without further thought, Feng Yunshu immediately flew up with Xiaoling to find out.
As she got closer, she finally saw the figure of the person not far away. The man in the black robe with gold patterns, that figure she was so familiar with...
Feng Yunshu trembled all over. She felt her body was out of control and couldn't take another step forward.
"Master, that man in the black robe really seems to be... really the prince. Well, to be exact, it's Zhu Shan! It's really Zhu Shan!"
Feng Yunshu naturally knew that. However, in the moment of her distraction, Zhu Shan sneered and gathered his strength. "You are just mere disciples of the Liuxian School. Even your master would have to be polite to this one. Let this one teach you, a green - horned brat, a lesson!"
As his voice faded, a black mist flew out from Zhu Shan's hand. Kong Ze on the opposite side seemed to be exhausted and couldn't dodge. The moment he was hit by the black mist, his body swayed unsteadily, and he was about to fall from the mid - air.
"Third senior brother!" Feng Yunshu took a quick step forward and caught Kong Ze steadily.
Kong Ze was overjoyed to see Feng Yunshu, but then he was deeply worried. "Yunshu, why are you here?"
"Third senior brother, I should be the one asking you this. What on earth is going on? How did you meet... meet Zhu Shan?"
Kong Ze glanced at Zhu Shan not far away and looked at Feng Yunshu with a complicated expression. "Yunshu, I'm sure you already know that Helan Yanting is Zhu Shan."
Feng Yunshu's heart sank. She felt an indescribable pain and slowly nodded. "Originally, I just guessed, but now it seems to be true."
"This Zhu Shan is really cunning. He has been lurking beside you all this time. No wonder there's a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest. Now I finally understand why Master said that only you can deal with Zhu Shan..."
Feng Yunshu knew what Kong Ze meant. Her chest felt extremely stuffy. "Third senior brother, you haven't told me why you're here yet."
"After the palace coup in the Dan Kingdom, I originally planned to take the fifth princess to a safe and quiet place to start a new life, which could be regarded as repaying the kindness of the original owner to the fifth princess in this life. But unexpectedly, the fifth princess was taken away by the demons at night. I've been tracking their aura and came here. I didn't expect to run into Zhu Shan."
After hearing this, Feng Yunshu looked thoughtful. She always felt that something was wrong.
"Third senior brother, why did the demons take away the fifth princess?"
Kong Ze frowned tightly. "On my way here, I heard that Zhu Shan was seriously injured back then and his soul was separated. If the Helan Yanting you saw is just a part of his soul, the fifth princess was born at an inauspicious hour. They may use a cruel forbidden technique of the demons to extract the souls of a large number of people born at inauspicious hours to help Zhu Shan gather his other souls."
"What?! Is that really the case..." Feng Yunshu was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head in denial. "No, it can't be... But the Zhu Shan in my impression is not such a person. He wouldn't do such a thing. There must be a misunderstanding..."
"Little junior sister, I know that because Zhu Shan was reborn as Helan Yanting and you accidentally married him, and people have feelings. Naturally, you also have feelings for him. But at this moment, you have to be sober. Don't be deceived by his appearance. Most of his kindness to you was probably just an act!"
Kong Ze frowned. "The Demon Lord Zhu Shan has always been extremely cunning and treacherous. Maybe he already knew that you could restrain him in some way after your reincarnation, so he approached you in advance to make you reluctant to take action against him.
"In this way, there will be no one on this continent who can deal with him. Once he gathers all his souls, he will be reborn on this continent. By then, this continent will surely be filled with the dying and the dead..."
Feng Yunshu's heart tightened bit by bit, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Her reason told her that the truth might be just as the third senior brother said, but emotionally, she couldn't accept it. She even felt that it wasn't like this, it shouldn't be like this.
"Are you two done talking? It's just as well that you're here. The spiritual souls of two cultivators. Hehe, they can help this one gather the other souls faster... Die for this one!"
"Master, be careful!"
Feng Yunshu and Kong Ze quickly dodged this attack after hearing the voice. She didn't have time to think. The Zhu Shan in front of her had already tried to kill her and Kong Ze. She had no choice but to fight back.
Thinking that her feelings for so long had been fooled, thinking that she had been played by him all this time, Feng Yunshu's anger instantly reached its peak.
"Zhu Shan! You're a complete bastard! How dare you play with my feelings like this? I won't let you off easily! Even if there's a huge gap in our strength, even if I have to die with you, I won't make it easy for you!"
Feng Yunshu was filled with grief and anger. She couldn't tell whether it was more grief or more anger. She only felt that her last bit of reason had been torn to pieces. She hated this man so much, maybe she also hated herself, hated that she had been so blind and had been a complete fool!
For a moment, Feng Yunshu's spiritual power soared, and her attacks became even more fierce. With the cooperation of Kong Ze and Xiaoling, she could even fight a few rounds with "Zhu Shan".
Just then, a gust of wind blew. When the wind blew on her face, Feng Yunshu's movements with her hands suddenly paused slightly.
"Yunshu, what's wrong? Are you injured?" Kong Ze noticed Feng Yunshu's strangeness and was a little worried.
Feng Yunshu shook her head. "I'm fine, senior brother. Don't worry. We can deal with this Zhu Shan because he's a fake."
When she said this, Feng Yunshu's tone seemed to be much lighter. Kong Ze was surprised after hearing this. Before he had time to think about what Feng Yunshu meant, Feng Yunshu rushed up again to fight this so - called fake Zhu Shan.
Although it was a fake, the Zhu Shan in front of them was not easy to deal with. The pressure of the demonic aura was extremely powerful, which made Kong Ze even more puzzled.
Just then, probably because Feng Yunshu had consumed too much spiritual power, her movements were a bit slow. Soon, the fake Zhu Shan opposite took advantage of this gap, sneered hideously, and threw a black mist at her.
"Little junior sister, be careful!"
"Master!"
In the blink of an eye, a more domineering black mist suddenly rushed out to block this black mist. Moreover, with a wave of the hand, an even more powerful pressure was sent towards the fake Zhu Shan.
"Master, you—"
Feng Yunshu, Kong Ze and the others witnessed with their own eyes that the person who had just looked like Zhu Shan suddenly turned into a long - haired woman. Moreover, the voice also became a woman's voice.
It was her, the Red Fox!
"Master, why do you protect this dead girl? Don't you know that if it weren't for their Liuxian School, you wouldn't have ended up like this..."
"This one has said before that this one's business doesn't need your interference."
Helan Yanting's voice sounded. Feng Yunshu suddenly looked up. It was him!
Helan Yanting appeared in the sky on a very domineering dragon, looking coldly at the Red Fox. "You really have a death wish."
