Chapter 154: Chapter 102: Qilin Essence, Yin God
"The Saintess is here! Quick, stop them!" the brawny man in the lead bellowed.
Surging with Demon Qi, the two demons roared and lunged.
But they were a step too late. Fang Xing was as fast as lightning, and the two demons’ attacks found only empty air.
In the span of a single breath, Fang Xing had vanished from sight.
Zhuang Qian was just as fast. The two of them moved like phantoms, melting into the darkness of the night and vanishing completely.
"Damn it!"
"After them! Don’t let them get away!"
Enraged, the brawny man gave chase with all his might.
The two demons roared in unison and joined the pursuit.
Just then, a figure rushed over. It was a woman with a graceful build.
Her face instantly turned frosty as she looked at the corpse on the ground.
Her eyes were like ice!
She glanced into the darkness, and with a single movement, vanished from the spot.
...
Outside Qingfeng Pass, Wang Lin stood in the forest, gazing at the city. He had heard the earth-shattering noise as clear as day.
’Looks like they’ve been exposed. This is bad. I have to hurry and call for reinforcements.’
Wang Lin shot to his feet. But just as he was about to dash toward the army camp to get help, his heart suddenly leaped, his eyelids twitching.
Two figures sped toward him through the night like phantoms.
"Let’s go!"
A familiar voice reached his ears, causing Wang Lin to sigh in relief. But a moment later, he sensed something else, and his expression changed drastically.
Before he could even move, a gentle breeze swept him up, and he vanished on the spot.
Carrying Wang Lin, Fang Xing’s speed didn’t slow in the slightest.
His Wind God Step had reached the level of Returning to the Essence, allowing him to merge with the natural world.
He was in no way inferior, even when compared to Zhuang Qian.

At Qingfeng Pass, several figures appeared atop the city wall, their expressions grim.
The two demons’ expressions were just as grim, their eyes brimming with Killing Intent.
Just as they were about to leave the city, a voice called out from behind.
"There’s no need to chase them."
Hearing the voice, the two demons and two Martial Artists turned to see the woman with the graceful figure.
"Saintess," the brawny man said, his expression dark, "the Array is destroyed. If we don’t eliminate those two, they’re sure to bring the Court’s army down on us. There’s no way we’ll be able to hold Qingfeng Pass."
The Tiger Demon chimed in, his expression ferocious. "Void Saintess, those two hounds of the Court killed my second brother. They must pay with their lives!"
The Void Saintess’s expression was placid as she gazed out over the land beyond the city. "They’ve already left the city. The Court’s army is only tens of miles away. Wouldn’t chasing them be walking right into a trap?"
At her words, the brawny man’s face darkened. "But with the Array destroyed, the Court’s army will attack anyway. Our superiors ordered us to hold Qingfeng Pass for a certain amount of time, and we haven’t held it long enough. If we fail, we won’t escape punishment."
"Void Saintess, my second brother is dead," the Lion Demon said, staring coldly at her. "If we don’t capture these hounds of the Court, the King’s wrath will not be easy to bear."
The Void Saintess’s gaze swept over the two demons. "Are you threatening me?"
Her voice was calm, but it was immediately followed by a terrifying might that erupted from her, causing the two demons’ expressions to change drastically.
"Void Saintess, what are you trying to do? Don’t forget we are here to cooperate on the King’s orders."
Enduring the immense pressure, the Tiger Demon immediately spoke up.
The Void Saintess’s gaze was ice-cold as she looked at the two demons. In the next breath, a vast power swept toward them.
BANG—!
The two demons were sent flying, each spitting up a mouthful of blood.
"Don’t think you can be so brazen in my presence just because you have the Silver Moon Demon King backing you. I’ll overlook it this time for the sake of our cooperation. But if there’s a next time, not even the Silver Moon Demon King will be able to save you."
Her icy voice reached their ears. The two demons’ expressions were utterly grim, but they dared not say another word and quickly got to their feet.
The Void Saintess stood on the wall, gazing into the night sky. "Rest assured," she said. "Though the Array is broken, the Netherworld Blood Coffin is now complete. We still have time. Once we finish the ritual, our work will be a success!"
"Really?" Hearing this, the brawny man’s face instantly lit up.
A flicker of greed appeared on the faces of the two demons.
"Saintess, in that case... our share..." The Tiger Demon looked at the Void Saintess, his eyes fervent.
The Void Saintess nodded. "Rest assured. You’ll get what you’re owed. Not a bit less."
"Our thanks, Saintess," the two demons said, the light in their eyes growing even more intense.
It seemed they had forgotten the unpleasantness from just a moment ago.
...
Qifeng Slope, Profound Armor Army Camp.
Inside the main command tent.
Baili Qingtian, dressed in black armor, sat cross-legged, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and he shot to his feet.
’They’re back?’
Baili Qingtian’s figure moved, and in an instant, he disappeared from the spot.
He rushed out of the tent and peered into the pitch-black night, his gaze fixed on the distance.
Through the darkness, three figures were streaking toward the camp with lightning speed.
Watching the three figures approach, Baili Qingtian felt his tense nerves relax. ’It seems there were no major problems. I just wonder how it went...’
The thought had barely crossed his mind before he vanished from in front of the tent.
His figure appeared outside the camp.
Baili Qingtian immediately went to greet them.
Fang Xing stopped and released his hand from Wang Lin’s shoulder.
HUFF! HUFF! HUFF!
Wang Lin gasped for air, his chest heaving and his face pale.
"Lord Zhuang, what’s the situation?" Baili Qingtian asked impatiently.
Zhuang Qian smiled and gave a slight nod. "Completed to Perfection."
"The Array in the city has been broken, and heavily damaged at that. Wait for dawn, then we can launch a full-scale assault."
"The Array is broken!"
Baili Qingtian’s eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face. "You have both worked hard, my lords. When we take Qingfeng Pass, the highest honors will go to the two of you."
