Bai Ran's face changed drastically. She snatched the door open and flew at full speed towards the entrance of the Howling Dragon Academy, the other two following close behind.
Upon arriving at the academy gate, a barrier stood tall.
Students, demonized, lay sprawled across the ground. Long Jin Han stood in the middle of the crowd, head bowed.
Jing Feng rushed over urgently, but before he could speak, Long Jin Han shook his head with a somber expression.
"By the time I arrived, only these demonized people were left."
Zhong Zi had been taken away! Bai Ran's expression was filled with grief and anger, her fists slowly clenching.
Luo Qian Qian's ability was to turn people into demonized individuals... If Zhong Zi fell into their hands...
Damn it! The consequences were unimaginable!
Long Jin Han pursed his thin lips. "If my guess is correct, the king of the demonized has returned."
Therefore, he urgently needed to expand his subordinates, and the three powerful Jing Feng were precisely targeted...
The atmosphere was extremely somber, making it hard to breathe from sorrow.
Jing Feng bit his lower lip tightly, his heart aching as if being clenched. The unspoken situation was clear...
That the next time they saw Zhong Zi, he might have already fallen and become demonized...
Becoming their enemy...
"Was Zhong Zi taken to the Nine Heavens..." the low, suppressed words revealed Bai Ran's restrained anger.
Long Jin Han wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how. "If the king of the demonized has returned, then he will inevitably be taken back to the Nine Heavens."
Bai Ran's pupils began to show a bloody red hue. "Help me cancel the new student assessment!"
She turned and left, leaving the three standing in place.
Seeing this, Jiang Ye raised his foot to follow, but Long Jin Han stretched out a long arm and stopped him. "Let her have some quiet, don't disturb her."
Jiang Ye watched her receding figure, his eyes filled with uncontainable worry...
Sigh— He let out a soft sigh and looked at Jing Feng. "Go find the remaining demonized people in the academy."
Jing Feng sniffled and responded in a deep voice.
"Young master will push herself to the brink of death..." Jiang Ye lowered his head, looking somewhat on the verge of collapse.
Long Jin Han's brow furrowed. How could he not know?
When faced with such a situation, the little girl would only clad herself in the armor of a warrior.
She wore cold armor, isolating herself from others.
She bore all the burdens on her own shoulders, forcing herself to become stronger, ever stronger.
Long Jin Han took out his communication jade pendant and input spiritual energy. "Jing Yun, keep an eye on the movements of the demonized in the Nine Heavens."
Jiang Ye, on the other hand, gazed in the direction Bai Ran had disappeared for a long time, unable to regain his senses...
......
Returning to her room, Bai Ran felt a wave of dizziness and fell heavily to the ground.
She propped herself up on the ground and slowly got up, her pupils a terrifying blood red.
"Why are you so weak—" In her mind, a voice identical to Bai Ran's echoed.
The temptation was gentle, mysterious, and seductive, imbued with an alluring charm.
"Zhong Zi was taken because you are pitifully weak—?"
Bai Ran covered her head, gritting her teeth tightly. Inner demons...
She had actually spawned inner demons...
Cannot be influenced...
She took a deep breath and forced herself into cultivation.
But that voice continued relentlessly, constantly trying to break through Bai Ran's defenses.
"What fault did Zhong Zi have? It's all your fault—"
"It's your pathetic stupidity, unable to even detect someone spying on you—"
Little Zi in the spatial dimension frowned, looking at Bai Ran outside. The little ghost's state was not right...
"What's wrong with master?" The feathers on Zhu Que's head drooped, as if sensing Bai Ran's unusual state.
At the same time, in a corner unnoticed by anyone, Shi Tian also clutched his head in pain, curling himself into a ball.
Wu Shi Beast looked at Bai Ran, his eyes filled with a deep, unresolvable sorrow.
The wheel of fate... had indeed begun to turn...
But at this moment, the door was forcefully opened, and an unexpected person appeared before Bai Ran.
"Slap—!" Another familiar slap instantly brought Bai Ran back to her senses.
She covered her face, staring foolishly at the person before her. "Master... Master..."
"What did I tell you! Have you forgotten everything!" Xuan Qing Hong's stern face was full of anger.
—Do not be blinded by hatred. I hope your eyes will no longer hold malice.
In that instant, Bai Ran felt a pang of regret. She had almost... almost been influenced by her inner demons...
Xuan Qing Hong sighed and extended his hand towards Bai Ran. "Enough, I will seal this inner demon for you."
Bai Ran nodded and gently placed her palm into his rough hand.
Outside the room, Long Jin Han stood at a distance, his gaze filled with extreme heartache.
Jiang Ye glanced at him, surprised that the Demon Lord had brought the master's master here...
That was right... Only such a harsh teaching method could be effective on the current master, and the Demon Lord could not bring himself to do it...
Since the inner demon in Bai Ran had just appeared, Xuan Qing Hong sealed it with great ease.
"Fight me again!" Facing Xuan Qing Hong's defensive stance, Bai Ran finally raised a smile.
"Yes! Master!"
......
The two of them fought for two months, and all the demonized people in the Howling Dragon Academy were completely cleared.
Meanwhile, Jing Yun and Tang Yi continuously disrupted the movements of the demonized in the Nine Heavens, delaying them for as long as possible.
During these two months, that damned Divine Maiden of Yaochi Palace personally came.
The result was as expected. With the killing god Long Jin Han present, her hand was broken before she could even see Bai Ran, and she fled back to the Divine Realm in disgrace.
Concurrently, on the other side, Black Crow City was developing rapidly under the leadership of City Lord Su.
But one day, something happened that made everyone's jaw drop.
"You!!!" Jiang Ye's mouth gaped open, his eyes nearly bulging out. "You!!!"
What the hell, was his eyesight playing tricks on him???
"What are you yelling about! Not cultivating properly and going to do..." Jing Feng blinked, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Jiang Ye looked at Jing Feng blankly. "You saw it too?"
"Mmm..." Jing Feng nodded as if stunned. "I saw it too..."
"What? Don't you recognize me?" The familiar gray eyes, the familiar face, the familiar voice...
Zhong Zi stood before them, a faint smile on his face.
"Zhong Zi—!!!" Jiang Ye and Jing Feng exclaimed, their eyes wide as copper bells.
"Wait!" Jiang Ye grabbed Jing Feng who was about to pounce. "Did you turn into a demonized person?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Hearing this, the emotion Jing Feng had just stirred instantly turned somber. He looked at Zhong Zi with a bitter expression.
"Did... did you really turn into a demonized person?"
