In an instant, the shadows of the dragon and snake covered the sky, each opposing the other with fierce intensity.


    Just as it seemed that Li Ruowang and Gan Zhi Zui were about to clash, Bu Lingfei quickly stepped forward and spoke, "Sisters, hold on. Our priority is to find our husband, Ye Yu, not to argue here!"


    Ever since that incident in the dream realm, Bu Lingfei had gained a new perspective. She understood clearly that a man as exceptional as Ye Yu could not have just one partner. So, regardless of who became Ye Yu''s partner, Bu Lingfei would gladly accept them rather than fight tooth and nail.


    A woman consumed by jealousy is doomed to a short path. Broad-mindedness had now become Bu Lingfei’s defining quality.


    It wasn’t just her; Yun Cimu felt the same. The events of that dream realm had left both of them on edge, reluctant to fight anymore.


    Hearing Bu Lingfei’s words, Li Ruowang and Gan Zhi Zui also withdrew, their respective dragon and snake shadows dissipating.


    Indeed, arguing about who was Ye Yu’s true partner held no meaning. Finding him was the real task.


    Li Ruowang snorted, waving her sleeve, instantly slicing an innocent demonic cultivator in half!


    His corpse plummeted from the sky.


    This unexpected show of power caused the demonic cultivators around him to retreat in fear, terrified that any misstep might provoke Li Ruowang’s wrath and prevent them from seeing the next day’s sun.


    It wasn’t that the demonic cultivators were overly timid. In an era without ascension, the Tribulation-Transcending Realm was already the pinnacle of power.


    Among the nearly one hundred demonic cultivators present, only a handful had reached the Tribulation-Transcending Realm, most being at the peak of the Integration Realm. Facing four Tribulation-Transcending female cultivators, it was nearly impossible to remain calm.


    Especially this woman in imperial robes, evidently an emperor in the mortal world. With a mere wave of her hand, her fate dragon appeared, making resistance seem futile.


    "My patience is limited! If you do not reveal Ye Yu''s whereabouts, I will kill one person with every breath that passes!" Li Ruowang’s voice was icy and commanding.


    Even Gan Zhi Zui couldn’t help but glance her way. She knew this method was indeed the fastest.


    Beside them, Luo Ze spoke in a low voice, "Ye Yu was taken by the demonic cultivator Lin Fengyuan. And these demonic cultivators are the ones responsible for releasing Lin Fengyuan! If you want to know where Ye Yu is, you’ll have to ask them!"


    His words immediately shifted the attention of Li Ruowang, Gan Zhi Zui, Yun Cimu, and Bu Lingfei to the demonic cultivators.


    The other sacred land leaders silently praised Luo Ze.


    Old Luo, you’re the best.


    With just a few words, he had clarified the situation.


    Especially the final line.


    "If you want to know where Ye Yu is, ask them."


    It put them within the safe zone, while pushing the opposition completely outside.


    To quickly end the battle, Tao Shanren shouted, "How long do you all plan to just watch? Help me! If we wait any longer, these sacred land leaders will recover, and we’ll all be dead!"


    The demonic cultivators frowned.


    Tao Shanren was right.


    If Luo Ze and Tang Shaojin’s group fully recovered, along with the four female cultivators, they would be outmatched.


    Better to kill Luo Ze and his group now while they had the chance.


    With this in mind, the demonic cultivators began moving, circumventing the battle between Tao Shanren, Yun Cimu, and Bu Lingfei, and aiming for the five sacred land leaders.


    Seeing this, Tao Shanren nearly spat in anger.


    You useless cowards—couldn’t you just break me free?


    Instead, they avoided his fight entirely!


    The majority of the demonic cultivators thought: These four ladies are trouble, saving your disciple is your problem.


    Nothing to do with us!


    We’ll just wish you well!


    However, deciding to kill the five sacred land leaders now was a bit too late.


    Luo Ze, Tang Shaojin, and the others were all seasoned warriors.


    Though they hadn’t fully recovered, they could still fight.


    They were no longer sitting ducks.


    When Luo Ze flashed a cold smile, the demonic cultivators felt a chill run down their spines.


    ...


    Meanwhile, Lin Fengyuan had flown a thousand miles with Ye Yu, finally landing in a cave by a cliff.


    Looking around at the desolate landscape, Ye Yu felt puzzled.


    Before he could ask any questions, he saw Lin Fengyuan collapse into unconsciousness.


    Ye Yu was left speechless.


    Are you trying to see just how strong my urge to kill you really is?
