Fairy, I am truly a virtuous gentleman!

Ying Si grabbed her skirt, dodging the blood splattered by the Demon Lord Fu Luo, and said with concern, "Master, you should be dying soon now, right?"

She looked troubled and said with some difficulty, "How could you be so careless? As the Demon Lord, how could you be successfully ambushed? Now I'm fighting two against one. What if I can't win?"

Fuluo Demon Lord was speechless for a moment, then said indignantly, "I'm your master, can't I say something nice once in a while?"

Ying Si covered her mouth, her charming eyes looking at Fu Luo Demon Lord, and whispered, "There's nothing I can do, my true form was born like this..."

Another unexpected turn of events occurred, but Gui Tong seemed completely relaxed at this moment, not in a hurry at all. Instead, he watched Fu Luo Demon Lord and Ning Yuan with great interest.

"Do you two need my help?"

Ning Yuan glanced at him, silently reviewing the situation in his mind.

His decision to take action against the Demon Lord Fuluo was made after careful consideration.

Firstly, the Fuluo Demon Lord's side has two members, giving them a numerical advantage, which requires balancing and optimization.

Secondly, among everyone present, only the Floating Demon Lord and his disciple might pose a significant obstacle to his plans.

Unfortunately, the current situation is far from what was expected.

He originally intended to kill the avatar of the Floating Demon Lord in one move, but although he had the initiative, the effect was minimal, only severely injuring the opponent.

Moreover, the Floating Demon Lord's swift counterattack severely damaged Ning Yuan's most stable offensive weapon, the Moon Magic Aspect, leaving him unable to fight again for a short period of time.

Therefore, Ning Yuan appeared confident and as if he could retreat unscathed if his attack failed, but in reality, he was in a desperate situation with his back to the wall.

It seems that the Demon Lord Fuluo is also preparing to make a move, which is why he has already prepared his magic.

Ning Yuan pondered calmly.

Are we going to have to use that now...?

Although it might seem like a waste of talent, there's nothing that can be done if the other side really wants to relentlessly pursue them.

"Hmph... Alright, disciple, let's go."

To Gui Tong's surprise, the heavily injured Fu Luo Demon Lord took a deep breath, ignoring the huge hole in his abdomen, and said this to Ying Si beside him.

"Huh? This is a new celestial palace ruin, are we just going to give up like this? And..."

Ying Si replied unwillingly, her eyes fixed on Ning Yuan again, "This guy ambushed you, Master. Why don't we take this opportunity to strike together, knock him to the ground, and take him back..."

"Are you the master or am I the master?"

Suddenly, the Floating Demon Lord's eyes changed from their usual playful and wicked demeanor to a fierce glint.

Ying Si immediately became much more obedient and reserved, transforming back into a dignified and charming classical beauty.

Then, Fuluo Demon Lord gave Ning Yuan a deep look.

"If fate allows, we will meet again."

A cold wind blew by, and just as they had come, the two figures suddenly disappeared from the bronze hall.

Is he really gone?

Even Ghost Eye was stunned.

Back then, the Demon Lord Fuluo also sent out an avatar, who traveled for a long time in the Crimson Abyss and finally found him.

Upon meeting, the other party offered to help him break the seal on the celestial palace ruins beneath the Crimson Abyss.

Ghost Eye was extremely pleased with this, but he thought that Floating Demon Lord was also after the benefits of the Immortal Palace Ruins. However, he did not expect that the other party would leave just like that when they were about to leave.

Ghost Eye realized that Fu Luo Demon Lord probably had ulterior motives for helping him, but there was no time to investigate further.

He looked at Ning Yuan, and after a moment of silence, said, "Your Excellency, now it's just us left..."

Before the words were finished, a blurry figure suddenly flashed past the palace gate, traversing space at an incredible speed and rushing straight into the wide-open bronze gate.

Ghost Eyes' six blood-red eyes suddenly contracted as he sensed a familiar aura.

His composure, which had been maintained throughout, crumbled instantly, his eyes wide with fury, as he shouted, "It was you! No! I was first!"

Then, ignoring Ning Yuan's presence, he followed closely behind and flew into the bronze gate.

Ning Yuan was left alone in the hall.

His expression was strange as he recalled the blurry figure from just now.

Although the opponent's speed was somewhat beyond the range of the Divine Palace Realm, Ning Yuan still managed to catch a glimpse of that person's aura.

"Xiao Lingjiang... Ha, I didn't expect it would be you who helped me break the deadlock."

Ning Yuan looked up and sighed, "All these plans were for this one advantage. Fortunately, we've made it this far without any major incidents."

Finally, the boy's figure also disappeared into the bronze gate, leaving only a cold wind echoing in the hall.

...

...

On the other side, Ying Si and Fu Luo Demon Lord appeared in a desolate graveyard outside the Ghost City.

At this point, the ghost city had been completely exposed by the aura of a celestial palace emerging from the heavens.

The enormous commotion and the city that suddenly rose from the Crimson Abyss quickly attracted the attention of the survivors of the Crimson Abyss.

Most of the weaker ones have been hunted down and killed by the major ghost lords.

Therefore, the remaining people are not to be underestimated; they are mostly true disciples from several major immortal sects.

Watching those people rushing off, Ying Si once again cast a puzzled look at Fu Luo Demon Lord.

"Don't be in such a hurry, my disciple, let me explain."

With his belly so large it was easy to see through, Fuluo Demon Lord sat down cross-legged against a giant rock.

Despite such terrifying injuries, he was fortunate that the vessel he possessed was a true disciple of the Hehuan Sect, with a solid foundation, profound knowledge, and a powerful physique, which allowed him to barely maintain his life.

"The thirteen great cultivation holy lands have occupied the Great Xuan Heaven for tens of thousands of years, and naturally know everything about this Great Heaven. The Crimson Abyss is so strange and obvious, do you think no one has ever investigated this place?"

The existence of this celestial palace ruins was known to all the Dao Venerables of the various sects, but the palace's origins were extraordinary, involving immense karma, so no one dared to touch it. Therefore, it remained hidden in the Crimson Abyss until now.

Ying Si raised her eyebrows slightly, immediately showing interest.

"Explain in detail."

The Demon Lord Fuluo temporarily stopped the bleeding from the wound with a spell and began to slowly recount his story...

Countless years ago, the Heavenly Court suffered a great calamity.

From the emperor to the heavenly soldiers, everyone fought bravely to resist the enemy and avert the crisis.

But this calamity was far-reaching, with countless lives lost and the land collapsing.

Even immortals have perished!

Legend has it that one day, blood rain suddenly fell from the sky over the Great Xuan Heaven, accompanied by wind and thunder, and the Great Dao cried out in sorrow.

The corpse of a powerful immortal fell from the sky and plunged into the earth, carving out a deep abyss. Its blood mingled with the earth, turning it crimson, hence the Crimson Abyss.

"An immortal?"

Ying Si initially dismissed it, but quickly, like a little fox sensing some danger, her face tightened instantly. She looked around cautiously and said, "Our Zhou Yintian Palace has a long history, predating even the Heavenly Court. We also have immortal ancestors. What's there to be afraid of?"

Fuluo Demon Lord laughed loudly: "Because this fallen immortal was no ordinary person."

"Oh, who is it?"

"The daughter of the Emperor, the Jade Balance Immortal."

Ying Si's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she murmured, "No wonder..."
