Fairy, please don't do this!

A pair of giant, scarlet eyes suddenly opened in the mist, staring intently at Gu Jinzhao and Jiang Tinglan.

This was none other than the [Fearful Mist Demon], which had been sealed away beneath the Dugu Mansion!

Gu Jinchao remained calm: "Release the Fearful Mist Demon, slaughter the entire Baihua County, then frame Nanzhao for the disaster and prevent the two countries from concluding a peace treaty."

There was one more thing he didn't say.

Dugu Wang was determined to kill Chu You and Li Jing, firstly to prevent them from causing trouble, and secondly to protect him.

This is because these two former commanders of the Demon Suppression Division were sent by the Zhao family to take his life.

As a member of the Underworld God Sect, Dugu Wang knew that he carried the fortune of Cang Yue, which is why he could not allow anything to happen to him.

Dugu Wang stood with his hands behind his back, quite intrigued. "But even if we know the truth, what can we do?"

"Although I was struck by your sword just now and my physical body was destroyed, my soul is still at the fifth-grade Yang God realm."

"And now that the Mist Demon is here, how do you plan to break this deadlock?"

He is indeed a member of the Underworld Cult, and we cannot silence Gu Jinchao.

However, they could use the sect's secret methods to erase this memory from the other party, thus confirming Lady Dugu's guilt and shifting the blame to Nanzhao.

At this moment, Jiang Tinglan suddenly stepped forward and transmitted her voice, "I will hold off Dugu Wang and the Fearful Mist Demon. Commander Gu, go and seek reinforcements immediately!"

"As your superior, it's my duty to step up when things happen!"

Gu Jinzhao shook his head.

Jiang Tinglan wanted to persuade him again, but the eight purplish-black tentacles of the Fearful Mist Demon had already broken through the air and attacked, like sharp blades tearing through the void!

She swayed lightly, gracefully dodging the attack, then with a light tap of her toes, she transformed into a sword rainbow, shooting straight into the depths of the thick fog, her sword pointing directly at Dugu Wang!

Although the Fearful Mist Demon is said to be comparable to a fourth-rank demon, it was sealed for nearly a thousand years before it was finally broken free, and its strength has at most recovered to around a sixth-rank demon.

With Gu Jinchao's current level of cultivation, he should be able to handle it.

As long as she can deal with Dugu Wang, who is at the fifth-grade Yang God realm, she can stabilize the situation.

"I didn't expect you to be a fifth-grade Yang God Realm cultivator as well."

Sensing the chilling killing intent and overwhelming sword spirit within the sword, Dugu Wang frowned slightly and clasped his hands together.

A mysterious destiny chart composed of the twelve earthly branches suddenly appeared behind him, blocking the fierce sword strike.

Jiang Tinglan frowned slightly: "Are you a sorcerer from the Earth Sect?"

She had long heard that the Earth Sect of the Heavenly Mandate Daoist lineage had betrayed the immortals and turned to demons, but she never expected to meet them in Baihua County.

"Otherwise, how do you think I could break that underground seal?"

Dugu Wang chuckled and casually tossed out several black and white chess pieces, which landed in eight directions, instantly transforming into a maze of illusion and reality, trapping Jiang Tinglan within it.

If he hadn't been ambushed by Gu Jinzhao and hadn't had his physical body destroyed, why would he have been afraid of her?

Now that only her soul remains, she is no match for him in a direct confrontation. The only option is to first trap her with an array, and then join forces to kill her after the Fearful Mist Demon has suppressed Gu Jinzhao!

"You think a mere formation can trap me?"

Jiang Tinglan gave a cold snort, and a flash of light appeared in her hand, revealing a long sword that was entirely crimson like blood.

On the hilt of the sword, a bright red lotus blooms!

This was none other than the supreme-grade spirit sword, Crimson Lotus.

Her identity was now self-evident; she was none other than Yu Fengzhi, the fifth elder of the Qingyun Sect and Gu Jinzhao's uncle.

Previously, Elder Chu Wuyai was worried that Gu Jinzhao might encounter misfortune when she entered Zhongzhou, so he gave her the identity of the Demon Suppression Division and secretly accompanied and protected her.

Yu Fengzhi then used a magical artifact to change her appearance and aura, changed her name to Jiang Tinglan, and entered the Gengjin Group, becoming a junior flag officer along with Gu Jinzhao.

On the other side, Gu Jinchao saw Jiang Tinglan rush into the fog and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Uncle's fiery temper is really as bad as ever."

From the moment they first met, he recognized her identity, but he never revealed it.

"Young master, be careful!"

The calico cat's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Without even thinking, Gu Jinchao quickly dodged to the left.

Boom!

A deafening explosion ripped through the ground, tearing apart the spot where he had been standing. A dark purple tentacle covered in suckers pierced the ground like a giant spear.

Gu Jinzhao raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the churning gray-white fog, locking onto the figure of the Fearful Fog Demon.

It resembles a living mountain of flesh and blood, its outline twisting and expanding in the fog, with a vaguely visible octopus-like body suspended in mid-air.

The dark red skin constantly oozed an oily, sticky liquid, which hissed as it dripped.

Having missed its first attack, the Mist Demon once again swung its remaining seven tentacles, attacking from all directions!

Amidst the thunderous roar, Gu Jinchao darted forward, closing in on the Fearful Mist Demon.

"Little Fox, I'll give you three bottles of Qi-Strengthening Pills. Do me a favor..."

The calico cat's eyes lit up: "What do you want me to do?"

"Give this giant octopus a claw... to its eye."

As Gu Jinzhao spoke, he dodged another attack from a tentacle.

"Leave it to me!"

The calico cat instantly transformed into a blurry stream of light and hurtled straight towards the Fearful Mist Demon.

Compared to her petite figure, the Mist Demon was as large as a mountain, but her speed was astonishing.

Through these years of training, Gu Jinzhao has truly honed his skills!

Her cultivation level has risen from the ninth rank of perfection to the eighth rank of perfection.

In the blink of an eye, the calico cat leaped into the air and stood before those two giant scarlet eyes. Its claws were about to strike, but its body suddenly froze.

In her perception, the terrifying fog demon before her instantly expanded a thousandfold, blotting out the sky and the sun, as if an ancient demon god had descended.

Just one glance from him and one's soul and body would feel as if they were about to be crushed and obliterated.

Driven by instinct, fear spread wildly. The calico cat's fur stood on end, and with a "whoosh," it scurried back, landing on a broken eaves, its small body trembling slightly.

"What's going on...?"

Her voice trembled slightly, still shaken.

Gu Jinchao is now in a similar predicament.

Just as he was about to swing his sword, a deep fear suddenly arose from the bottom of his heart.

This fear did not come from the oppressive power of the Mist Demon, but rather from the deepest nightmare within his heart.

He actually saw his tragic future of being dismembered by five women!

"I've said it before, we've signed a marriage contract. If you dare to be unfaithful, I will kill your husband to prove my faith!"

Mu Yiren's icy, emotionless voice rang in his ears. Then, she pointed her fingers like a sword, and with a flash of cold light, his arms were severed.

Lin Qingci's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, her expression sorrowful and pitiful, yet her long sword fell mercilessly: "Senior brother, you clearly have Qingci, why do you still provoke others..."

"Young Master Gu is a notorious womanizer; he deserves to be torn apart by five horses!"

"Gu Jinzhao, you must give me an explanation today..."

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e and Yu Fengzhi appeared one after the other, one tearing at his head and the other ripping apart his body.

The most horrifying thing was Xiao Qingyi's icy gaze fixed on his lower body: "How dare you betray me, I'll castrate you first..."

A mix of terrifying illusions and fear assaulted Gu Jinzhao, leaving him frozen in place, his mind almost completely taken away.

"You humans... are truly fragile and helpless!"

The Mist Demon spoke incoherently, and its enormous tentacles rose again, aiming straight for Gu Jinchao's shoulder!

It is the embodiment of fear and despair, and even if its strength has not returned to its peak, it is by no means something that a seventh-grade sword cultivator can shake.

However, it will be soon.

At this moment, thick fog has enveloped Baihua County, and the despair and fear of the people in the city are growing and spreading, turning into a continuous source of nourishment for them.

Once everyone is completely consumed by the fear in their hearts, its strength will return to the fourth rank, and then it will devour flesh, blood, and souls, stepping into the third rank in one fell swoop!

Just as the tentacles were about to pierce Gu Jinzhao's body, he dodged again with a strange movement.

At the same time, the Crimson Sky Sword in his hand burst forth with a blazing crimson light, and he slashed out horizontally!

The crimson sword rainbow, like a long river piercing the sun, instantly severed the two attacking tentacles at the root!

"You actually managed to break free from my fear?"

The Mist Demon roared in pain, and its severed tentacles quickly reformed, attacking at an even faster speed.

At that moment, the calico cat's figure flashed away like a ghost.

Tempted by three bottles of Qi-strengthening pills, his gluttonous nature ultimately triumphed over his fear.

"court death!"

As the claws slashed across, the Mist Demon's eyes burst open, letting out a shrill roar, and its eight tentacles began to sweep wildly and indiscriminately!

Although Dugu Wang had instructed that its life be spared, it couldn't care less about that at this moment.

This human who dared to harm it must die!

"Do you really think that fear alone can control everything?"

While nimbly dodging the attacks of the other tentacles, Gu Jinzhao swung his sword again, and with a flash of sword light, another tentacle was severed!

The fear in his eyes had not yet faded, but the sword in his hand became increasingly fierce and intimidating.

The True Yang Sword Technique, when unleashed at this moment, was several times stronger than ever before, as if it had been enhanced with some kind of boost.

Yes, Gu Jinzhao was indeed afraid of being stabbed.

But why the fear?

Naturally, it's because their strength isn't enough that they have to stack armor like crazy.

The need for stacking armor is precisely to sacrifice more evil cultivators and demons.

Now, the Mist Demon is right before him, waiting for him to refine it.

Because of this thought, the fear in my heart was transformed into a powerful driving force.

The greater the fear, the more ruthless and swift the strike!

In just a few breaths, all eight tentacles were severed by the Crimson Sky Sword, and the Mist Demon was forcibly shaved into a "demon stick," writhing grotesquely in the mist.

"It's time to end this!"

At this moment, a dark vortex emerged around Gu Jinzhao, unleashing an extremely terrifying suction force that completely enveloped him.

"A forbidden technique of the Gu Clan?"

The Fearful Mist Demon panicked and, disregarding Dugu Wang who was locked in battle with Jiang Tinglan, hastily dispersed into the mist, attempting to escape the area.

It is indeed extremely difficult to completely eradicate, but it can be refined.

The Six Elements True Demon Technique is its nemesis.

During the great war against demons a thousand years ago, its true form was refined by this technique. If a wisp of its soul had not been separated and hidden beforehand, it would have been completely destroyed.

I never imagined that I would encounter this damned technique again a thousand years later.

"Want to go?"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Jinzhao's eyes. He brought his two fingers together and activated the Six Elements True Demon Technique to its limit. The vortex instantly transformed into a pitch-black demonic claw that blotted out the sky and scooped up the void!

The mist was torn apart, and the Mist Demon revealed its true form, which was then grabbed!

Then, it was refined in an instant!

A surge of powerful qi and blood, along with divine soul energy, flooded into Gu Jinzhao's body like a bursting dam. His body instantly swelled up like a ball, veins bulging, as if it were about to burst.

But the next moment, Gu Mei's spirit shone brightly, and all her power was frantically devoured by her spiritual platform.
