Within the Human Flesh Valley, the atmosphere was tense, as if a battle could break out at any moment.
Beiming Xue led Wu Xie and millions of Demon Cultivators, standing together, and nervously watching outside the valley.
On the peaks outside the valley, Evil Ghosts crowded, and all the arrays of the Human Flesh Valley were activated, ready to strike at any time.
Among the Evil Ghosts stood a tall Asura with a blue face and tusks, whose cultivation had reached the Three Flowers Crown, commanding the ghosts.
This Asura was the Right General of the Human Flesh Valley.
At the Right General's side stood Kun Yuan.
Kun Yuan bowed low and obsequiously towards the Right General, pointing towards Beiming Xue while saying, "Reporting to the Right General, to find that person pretending to be from the Nether Realm, just capture that woman and question her."
It turned out that a few days ago, Kun Yuan, taking advantage of Beiming Xue's unpreparedness, broke through the siege of the Four Divine Beasts of Tiger, Leopard, Bear, and Lion at the cost of his subordinates' lives, and fled outside the Inner Valley of the Human Flesh Valley to report to the Right General.
Originally, the Right General was extremely disdainful of the report from a mere mortal.
But at the same time, the Right General noticed abnormalities within the Human Flesh Valley, as the Master of the Valley of Human Flesh had not been in the valley for several days for some unknown reason, and the Left General, who should have been guarding the valley, was also missing.
Thinking of Kun Yuan's report, the Right General immediately suspected that something major had happened in the valley, probably related to the person Kun Yuan mentioned who was pretending to be from the Ghost Realm.
Therefore, the Right General immediately gathered forces, activated all the arrays, trapped the Inner Valley, and prepared for a massacre to pressure the whereabouts of Wang Yan.
No one knew who Wang Yan was, and the Right General did not gain any information on Wang Yan's whereabouts. Instead, under pressure, the Demon Cultivators of the Human Flesh Valley, scattered like loose sand, temporarily united.
Beiming Xue, who had been with Wang Yan for a long time, knew it was a rare opportunity. She immediately took advantage of this to rally all the Demon Cultivators around her.
This led to the standoff between the humans and the ghosts.
However, as the battle seemed imminent, Beiming Xue could not help but worry.
There were tens of millions of Evil Ghosts on the opposing side, and a formidable being such as the Right General at the Three Flowers Crown level.
Her side had only two million Demon Cultivators at most, and most were of low cultivation like Demon Kings and Demon Emperors.
The highest cultivation on her side, apart from the Four Divine Beasts reaching the Divine Tier, was her own Great Perfection Demon Venerable status, barely qualifying as a powerhouse.
In terms of both numbers and cultivation, her side was no match for the Nether Realm's forces.
Moreover, behind the two million Demon Cultivators, there were millions of mortals. Once the fight started, the mortals would panic, disrupting their own formations.
"Brother Wang Yan, if you were here, what would you do?" Beiming Xue kept thinking, imagining how Wang Yan would handle the situation.
At this moment, the Right General coldly said, "I give you one last chance. If you don't turn over the person disguised as the Ghost Realm, we will bloodily purge the entire Human Flesh Valley and none of you will survive. Consider this carefully— is it worth sacrificing millions of lives for one person?"
The Right General's words thundered around, causing the ears of those in the Human Flesh Valley to buzz. Many were so terrified that they took steps backward.
Seeing this, Beiming Xue became extremely anxious. The unity she had just gathered could not be allowed to be shattered by the Right General's words.
Thinking of this, Beiming Xue quickly shouted, "Death is nothing; after all, while we are here, we won't survive anyway. Brother Wang Yan once said... nothing but death, why fear a battle."
Upon hearing the words "nothing but death, why fear a battle," those retreating behind Beiming Xue paused, stopping in their tracks.
Especially such a bold statement coming from a delicate woman's mouth was even more shocking.
For a moment, many who considered themselves masculine blushed.
Seeing that her words were effective, Beiming Xue was delighted and pondered hard again on what else Wang Yan had said.
"Not only must we fight to the death, but we must also break out of the Human Flesh Valley; they can't stop us. Wherever we go, who dares to stand in our way!"
Upon hearing Beiming Xue's second utterance, everyone's eyes lit up. Breaking out of the Human Flesh Valley and regaining freedom was exactly what they had always wanted.
At that moment, a surge of fighting spirit slowly emerged among everyone.
Seeing this, the Right General snorted coldly, saying, "With your measly cultivation, do you dare to rush out in front of me?"
The Right General's words had already raised in volume, booming like thunder throughout the valley, causing everyone to feel dizzy before finally regaining their senses.
Only then did they remember, standing before them was a Three Flowers Crown powerhouse, and the Master of the Valley, at the Harmonious Four Symbols level, had yet to appear.
In the presence of so many powerhouses, what hope did they have to escape?
The fighting spirit that had just been kindled was struck down again, and fear filled their faces.
Seeing the morale she had just lifted toppled again by the Right General's words, Beiming Xue stamped her foot in frustration, nearly in tears.
But no matter what she said, she couldn't reverse the trend.
"Brother Wang Yan, why can't I seem to do anything right?" Beiming Xue was so upset she was about to cry.
But just then, a gentle voice whispered from her side, "You've done very well, Xue'er."
Hearing this voice, Beiming Xue, like a drowning person seeing land, sharply raised her head, her tear-filled eyes looked ahead at the person.
She saw that person's handsome face, deep eyes, and his gaze shone as if by magic, instantly dispelling Beiming Xue's sorrow.
"Brother Wang Yan—"
Beiming Xue cried out delicately, throwing herself into Wang Yan's arms.
Wang Yan patted Beiming Xue, who was in his arms, gently comforting her.
At the peak of tension, Beiming Xue's gentle voice was very prominent, leaving everyone in the audience stunned.
No one expected the previously strong and assertive Beiming Xue to have such a tender side.
Moreover, seeing death imminent, she still had the mind to act coy?
Thus, all eyes, even the Right General's, focused tightly on Wang Yan, who changed Beiming Xue's demeanor dramatically.
Under everyone and every ghost's gaze, Wang Yan gently patted Beiming Xue's back and said, "I'm here, leave this to me."
