Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Yun Hong reached out and took it gently. The fair-skinned baby seemed to notice his gaze and stretched out a trembling little hand towards him.

Yun Hong couldn't help but smile and gently held the hand.

"How is second brother's health?" Yun Hong asked.

"I heard from my second sister-in-law that the medicine that my eldest brother brought last time was very effective. My second brother can now sit up."

Yiban looked at the heartwarming scene of the father and son getting along and replied softly.

"That's good."

Yun Hong's complexion looked much better.

The two chatted about some trivial matters. Yun Hong saw that the time was almost up, so he handed the baby in his arms to Yi Ban and stood up to leave.

"Brother Yunhong,"

Yiban looked at him tenderly: "Lin'er and I will be waiting for you to come back here."

Yun Hong turned his head and walked out with big strides.

"I'll be back." He left his last words.

Soon, Yun Hong returned to the city wall.

At this time, the formation plate was ready and was placed in four storage rings and handed to the four of them.

After Yun Hong and the other three probed their spiritual senses into the storage ring to confirm the number of array plates, they did not hesitate and flew out of the city along the hole specially opened in the city defense formation.

The monks on the city wall looked at the backs of the four people gradually disappearing into the darkness. Although their expressions were different, they all showed a hint of admiration at this moment.

After a moment, Zhou Ku said in a deep voice: "Remember their names."

Chapter 162: Stop

In the darkness, Yun Hong and the other three held up a spiritual energy shield and flew towards the Liyun Mountains.

"Yun Hong."

On the way, a young man who was not much different in age from Yun Hong suddenly spoke, breaking the silent atmosphere.

Yun Hong continued to walk at a steady pace, and asked calmly, "What's up?"

Lin Xiao was silent for a while: "Thank you for saving my life last time."

During the last demon attack on the city, Lin Xiao was targeted by a seventh-level peak demon beast and nearly died under its claws. It was Yun Hong who rescued him at the critical moment. For this, Yun Hong took the attack from the demon beast and was seriously injured.

In the past, Lin Xiao and Yun Hong had many quarrels and conflicts because they were both young masters of the three major families in Yunxi City, but Yun Hong's actions at that time changed Lin Xiao's impression of him a lot.

The reason why Lin Xiao took on this life-threatening mission this time was largely because of Yun Hong. Although he was a playboy by nature, he also had a sense of pride and wanted to find an opportunity to repay Yun Hong for saving his life.

Yun Hong did not answer him and continued flying.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao stopped talking and the atmosphere immediately returned to silence.

The four of them flew in the direction of the Liyun Mountains and placed many formation plates along the way. These formation plates were buried underground in a special way. As long as the demons and ferocious beasts walked across the ground, the formation plates would explode immediately.

Slowly, the four of them arrived at the edge of the Liyun Mountains, and there were only a few formation plates left on their bodies.

They were lucky and didn't encounter any monsters along the way, so they completed the mission successfully.

The closer you are to Yunxi City, the denser the demonic aura in the sky becomes, but if you move away from Yunxi City, the demonic aura in the sky will gradually dissipate.

At this time, the view of the edge of the Liyun Mountains where Yun Hong and his three companions were was no longer obscured by darkness. They looked up towards the central area and could see that the sky there was crystal clear, which was quite normal.

This is obviously a demonic method.

After burying the last remaining formation plate in the ground, Lin Xiao and the other two were about to return to Yunxi City, but they saw Yun Hong still standing there, with no intention of leaving.

"Yunhong, it's time to go." Lin Xiao urged.

Yun Hong's eyes were fixed on the depths of the Lieyun Mountains. He did not turn his head after hearing Lin Xiao's words. He replied, "You go first. I'll go in and take a look."

Hearing Yun Hong's words, Lin Xiao and the other two's faces changed instantly, and they all spoke up:

"Are you crazy!?"

Yun Hong turned around and looked at Lin Xiao and the other two. His still pale face was extremely calm. "It's been less than ten days since the last time the demons attacked the city. In such a short time, the demons are going to attack the city again. There must be some reasons we don't know."

"If we don't figure out the reason, what's the point of resisting the demons' attack this time? The demons will attack again, and the time interval will become shorter and shorter, until Yunxi City is razed to the ground."

He paused for a moment and said, "Besides, how long can these arrays hold back the demons?"

After hearing Yun Hong's words, Lin Xiao and the other two fell silent for a moment.

They knew in their hearts that Yun Hong's words were not groundless and that this was very likely to happen.

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Then I'll go with you."

The remaining two people looked at Lin Xiao in surprise. If it was Yun Hong, they would not be surprised, because Yun Hong was a madman in their eyes, but Lin Xiao was different. Why did he suddenly make such a dangerous decision?

Yun Hong frowned after hearing what Lin Xiao said, looked at him carefully, then shook his head and said, "Don't go, I can do it alone."

"Yun Hong, Lin Xiao, don't go. Let's go back to Yunxi City first and report this matter to City Lord Zhou Ku. He will make the final decision."

"Yeah, let's go back first, it will be too late if we are any later."

The remaining two people spoke out to persuade him.

Hearing their words, Lin Xiao showed a struggling expression on his face, but Yun Hong did not change at all, and said calmly: "It's too late to go back and forth. The best way is to go in and investigate now while the demons are still quiet."

Lin Xiao's face became firm after hearing this, and he also said: "Yun Hong is right. If we delay any longer, we will have no chance. You go back and tell the city lord and others about the situation here. Yun Hong and I will go in and take a look."

"You will die." Yun Hong said.

"You are not the only one who is not afraid of death,"

Lin Xiao replied: "Besides, you are only at the late seventh realm, just one realm higher than me. If we really encounter a monster, it's not certain who will be able to escape."

Seeing that Yun Hong and Lin Xiao had made up their minds, the remaining two could only turn around and leave.

"Okay, let's go back first."

"Take care, you two."

After the two left, Yun Hong and Lin Xiao also began to go deeper into the Liyun Mountains.

They didn't dare to fly in the air as that would be too conspicuous and might attract the demons' attention, so the two of them landed on the ground and walked towards the center area. Their steps were not too fast, and they kept their aura hidden at all times.

Weird! Very strange!

Yun Hong and his companion had been walking for a while, but they didn't see many demons or ferocious beasts, not even ordinary ferocious beasts. The atmosphere along the way was extremely depressing.

"Yunhong, why don't we go back first." Lin Xiao said through telepathy.

He looked uneasy at this moment, and his heart was beating wildly, as if there was some kind of existence in the dark watching their every move.

Yun Hong didn't say anything. He kept walking, paying attention to the movements around him at all times, alert to the danger that might occur at any time.

"Yun Hong? Did you hear what I said?"

Lin Xiao didn't get a reply from Yun Hong, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He quickly quickened his pace to catch up with Yun Hong.

"Quiet."

Suddenly, Yun Hong stopped in front of a forest.

Lin Xiao also stopped. He tried his best to restrain his energy, realizing that Yun Hong must have discovered something.

The next moment, Yun Hong reached out his hand and slowly pushed aside the dense branches in front of him, and saw the scene behind the woods.

"hiss……"

Lin Xiao had been paying attention to Yun Hong's actions, so he was the first to see the scene behind the woods. Fear instantly filled his heart and he almost cried out.

Behind the woods was an extremely open grassland, but unlike the past, the grassland was now filled with demons and ferocious beasts of various races.

Among them are the demonized Cloud Shadow Leopard, the demonized Fierce Cloud Lion, and countless other demonized ferocious beasts.

Among this group of demons and ferocious beasts, there was a giant beast with an extremely powerful aura and was dozens of meters tall.

The giant beast was pitch black in color and had a strong physique. Its lion head with thick mane had its pupils slightly closed and its teeth in its mouth were long and sharp, showing its ferocious look.

The giant beast was so prominent that Yun Hong and Lin Xiao almost instantly focused their eyes on it, their expressions extremely solemn.

“The peak of the eighth realm…” Lin Xiao murmured.

"It's a demonized Cloud-avoiding Snow Lion."

Yun Hong spoke in a heavy tone, he quickly recognized the forebody of the giant beast, which reminded him of a friend he met in the Liyun Mountains a long time ago, who was also accompanied by a Cloud-avoiding Snow Lion.

However, twenty years have passed and Yun Hong has not heard any news about that person. He also doesn't know where he is now or how he is doing.

"A Cloud-avoiding Snow Lion? Such a rare beast has been infected by evil spirits? And it's at the peak of the eighth realm? This is the first peak-eighth realm demon to appear!"

Lin Xiao's expression became more serious: "Yun Hong, the situation is not good now, let's go first."

Yun Hong did not object this time, but agreed with his decision: "Let's go."

It is enough to know that this time the demons attacked the city, a being at the peak of the eighth realm appeared, and it was a demonized Cloud-avoiding Snow Lion.

Just as Yun Hong and Lin Xiao were preparing to evacuate carefully, a strange and cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears:

"Since you two are here, why are you leaving without even saying hello?"

Yun Hong and Lin Xiao's expressions changed drastically: "Not good!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a giant beast claw formed by demonic energy suddenly fell from the sky and slapped Yun Hong and the others.

boom--

The earth seemed to be shaking.

A tall and thin demonic man suddenly appeared in the air. The aura on his body lingered, and it was obvious that he was the one who had used the move just now.

The demon man had a cold expression on his face, his eyes fixed on the ground.

Swish!

In the dust, a figure suddenly flew out and flew towards Yunxi City at an extremely fast speed.

"Where to go!"

The demon man noticed the abnormality at the first moment. He raised his hand, and a dark light instantly condensed in his palm and shot towards the fleeing figure.

Bang!

At this moment, another figure flew out from the dust and took the attack from the demon man with his body.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yun Hong was pushed back a few steps by the powerful force. His face turned even paler and his injuries, which had not yet healed, became even more serious.

However, Yun Hong did not care about his own injuries. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at the demon man in the air.

Yun Hong was no stranger to the demon man. He had led the demon army to attack Yunxi City many times. He was an eighth-level late demon who was in charge of the demon army in the Lieyun Mountains. His name was Du Wu.

"Oh? It's you."

Du Wu obviously also knew Yun Hong. He had some impression of the human cultivator in front of him. Although his cultivation was not very high, he fought very frantically. With this fearless fighting style, he killed many demons with good potential.

Du Wu asked demons and demon beasts to take special care of Yun Hong many times, but Yun Hong was lucky. Although he was seriously injured every time, he was able to escape death.

But since he has come here today, he is doomed to die.

Du Wu was not very interested in this kind of ants. He just waved his hand, and the demons and beasts on the ground received his orders and stood up one after another.

The demonized Cloud-avoiding Snow Lion among the group of demon beasts also slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of emotionless scarlet lion pupils. It looked at Yun Hong with cold eyes, making him feel cold all over.

"Target Yunxi City, attack."

At Du Wu's command, the demons and beasts on the ground roared loudly and rushed towards Yunxi City.

Yun Hong was fixed in place by the gaze of the Cloud-Biasing Snow Lion. Due to the absolute difference in strength, he couldn't even move a finger. He could only watch as countless demons and ferocious beasts rushed towards him.

Just when Yun Hong was feeling desperate and thought he was about to die, a familiar and gentle voice suddenly sounded:

"Stop."
