The demons’ aura overwhelmed the entire place; there were more than one Golden Core Stage demon who pushed back against the Zhu Cultivation Town’s cultivators by merely using black gusts of wind swept up by their sleeves.

She Tianba was already in a desperate situation, but the arrival of the demons gave him a burst of hope. He didn't know that group of demons, but he had gleaned from Zhu Yan’s words that they were there for Wang Ke.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

“You are here to deal with Wang Ke? Quick! I’ll pin him down. Kill him, quick!” She Tianba urged excitedly.

Wang Ke’s face turned grim. Did Zhu Yan hire a bunch of demons using his emperor’s influence?

“Wang Ke, I bet you didn't expect this! You never thought I would catch you this quickly, right? Hahaha, The shame you brought upon me in the palace… I’m going to return it a hundredfold! Also, where’s my bead bracelet? Where is it?” Zhu Yan questioned Wang Ke in a threatening manner.

“Zhu Yan, which one is the Netherborn you spoke about?” a demon asked.

“That one! It’s her!” Zhu Yan pointed to Princess Youyue. “But you must wait for a while first. I need to get my beads back first!”

“Oh?” The demons looked toward the princess.

She was terrified, so she quickly hid beside Wang Ke.

“Hahaha, no use hiding! Wang Ke can’t even protect himself now!” said Zhu Yan.

“Wang Ke, what should we do?” Princess Youyue asked anxiously.

Wang Ke’s eyelid was twitching unstoppably. Run?There’s no way I can run away now! That’s a group of Golden Core Stage demons! There’s no way!

“Wang Ke, I’m going to force the answer out of you if you don’t tell me right away! I even brought my whip!” said Zhu Yan as he took out a whip.

He was going to return the shame a hundredfold.

Princess Youyue was really scared, and none of the town’s residents dared to utter a word.

Wang Ke tried to curb his anxiety. His long experience in dealing with difficult situations in the world helped him calm down!

“Zhu Yan, the trip over must have been tiring for you! Thank you!” Wang Ke said after taking a deep breath.

“Hmm?” Everyone was caught by surprise.

Zhu Yan is going to beat you to death!And you are thanking him?You must be a masochist! Even Princess Youyue was unable to understand it. What is happening?

“Thank me?” Zhu Yan asked, squinting his eyes in confusion.

“Yeah, thank you for bringing those demons to the Zhu Cultivation Town! My senior apprentice-brothers have waited for this a long time! You guys came at the right time. None of you shall leave today, for we are going to kill all these demons. All of them! Show no mercy!” Wang Ke shouted.

“What?” The demons were alerted; they immediately started inspecting their surroundings.

The righteous immortal sects are lying in ambush? The demons looked all around and, sometimes, their eyes turned to look at Zhu Yan doubtfully.

She Tianba, Princess Youyue, and the cultivators from the Zhu Cultivation Town had their eyes peeled. What is Wang Ke saying?There are immortal sect disciples in town?

“Zhu Yan, is he saying the truth?” a demon questioned Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan, did you bring us here to send us to our graves?

“Bullsh*t! Is something wrong with your brain? How could I possibly invite righteous sects to ambush you! They don’t understand me, but don’t you understand my situation fully?” Zhu Yan chided the demons.

The demons suddenly remembered that Zhu Yan had already been demonized; there was no way for him to collude with righteous sects.

“Brat, how dare you deceive us!” that demon threatened.

“You don’t believe me? Shall I call them out? How about that?” Wang Ke replied.

“Hmm?” The demons were stunned.

Your lies have been exposed, and yet you’re still intent on tricking us?

“Heh, go ahead!” the demons challenged Wang Ke, clearly skeptical.

“Wang Ke, you think you can sow discord among us with just a few words? Haha! I know you’re really good at deceiving people. But now you’re doomed!” Zhu Yan laughed disdainfully.

Still, Wang Ke ignored him and cried out, “All residents of the Zhu Cultivation Town, please back off immediately. The further, the better; this place will soon turn into a battleground between the righteous and the demonic sects. Their destructive power is great, and any shockwave may take your lives! I’m going to give you some time to evacuate quickly!”

“Wahhhh~~~!”

The town’s residents swiftly turned around to flee. Everyone believed that Wang Ke was an immortal sect disciple, so they naturally trusted his words. Since many demons had shown up, they wondered if a war between the righteous and demonic sects would ensue. I need to leave now! I don’t want to be involved in this. I don’t want to die!

The throng of people instantly retreated. Even the She Clan members who were disabled and covered in bruises somehow found the strength to scramble out of the She Clan’s courtyard; they ran as far as they could.

“Haha! Where? Where’s the righteous sect’s ambush?” Zhu Yan ridiculed Wang Ke.

The demons didn't stop the locals from fleeing. After all, there were too many people, and they were worried that the righteous sect’s disciples were hiding among them. We don’t have to be so watchful now that the residents ran far away.

“Zhu Yan, think about it carefully. None of you shall leave once I send the signal to my senior apprentice-brothers!” Wang Ke threatened with an icy tone.

“Sure, let them come! Call them! I dare you, call them! Hahaha, the Zhu Cultivation Town is so remote that there are no immortal sects nearby. Go ahead! Call your backup!” Zhu Yan mocked as he flung his whip.

“Princess, send the signal!” Wang Ke instructed the princess who was beside him.

“Ah?” Princess Youyue looked at Wang Ke, clearly puzzled.

Signal?To whom?I wouldn't have been imprisoned until now if I could send a signal to the Heavenly Wolf Sect so they could rescue me!

“What are you doing, just standing there? Use your Grand Ceremonial Light. Send another one! Quick!” Wang Ke ordered.

Princess Youyue was lost, but she still took out a black ball from her storage bag. She then looked at Wang Ke doubtfully. The Grand Ceremonial Light?

We are about to be killed by demons, yet you’re trying to liven up the mood with the Grand Ceremonial Light?

“A cloud-piercing arrow; a vast host of armies gathers! Do it now!” Wang Ke hurried the princess.

Without knowing the reason, the princess still nodded in agreement. She tossed the Grand Ceremonial Light to the sky.

“Booom~~~~~~~~~!”

The sky above the Zhu Cultivation Town was filled with a thousand streams of auspicious colors when the artifact was ignited; a radiance ten thousand meters wide illuminated the entire area. The whole town was instantly filled with a bright and lucky mood; a truly grand scene.
