Seeing this, Gou Sheng did not act immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Madam Jin.

After receiving her tacit approval, he raised a hand, drew the communication stone into his palm, and infused it with divine power.

A moment later, Ye Yu's voice came from within.

"Are you that dog steward?"

At those words, veins instantly bulged across Gou Sheng's forehead.

"Ant, what the hell are you talking about? I'm a wolf! A wolf demon god!"

"Ah, it doesn't matter. Good thing I have a decent memory. Even after all this time, I still recognized your voice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called this communication stone. By the way, you just said my cultivation partner is in your hands. Who is it?"

Ye Yu's voice sounded remarkably calm.

Gou Sheng sneered. "Stop pretending to be composed. Your cultivation partner, Gu Qinglan, and your closest brother, Wan Zhengyuan, are both here. You have three double-hours to return to the marshlands. For every double-hour you're late, I'll cut off one of their hands."

"Remember, you are only allowed to come alone. You are not to bring anyone else. Do you understand?"

After he finished speaking, the other side remained silent for a long time before Ye Yu finally replied slowly, "Oh, so it's those two. Then there's nothing to worry about. By the way, is Madam Jin doing well? Was she satisfied with the gift I sent her last time?"

At those words, Madam Jin immediately snatched the communication stone from Gou Sheng's hand and said through gritted teeth, "Ye Yu, what's the fun in having someone else deliver a gift? Why don't you come in person?"

"No problem. Wait for me. I'll be there soon."

Ye Yu chuckled twice, then put away his communication stone.

Madam Jin's hands began to tremble faintly.

Not from fear, but from excitement.

After searching for Ye Yu for so long, was she finally going to find him?

Hopefully, he would arrive on time.

Gou Sheng, Su Wuyao, and the others all stopped what they were doing. They had no intention of continuing to attack Wan Zhengyuan and Gu Qinglan.

After all, their objective had already been achieved.

Anything else could wait until three double-hours later.

Wan Zhengyuan let out a long sigh of relief. At least his brother would be safe for another three double-hours.

At the same time, he secretly prayed that Ye Yu would arrive on time and bring the Divine Alliance leader, Xiao Pingchao, with him.

Otherwise, with Ye Yu's strength alone, how could he possibly stand against all the powerful figures gathered here?

Beside him, however, Gu Qinglan's expression had become extremely complicated.

Women were sensitive.

From the conversation through the communication stone, Gu Qinglan could clearly sense that when Ye Yu learned she was the cultivation partner who had been captured, he seemed to breathe an obvious sigh of relief.

Could it be that he had not been pretending?

He did not secretly love her?

That made no sense!

If he did not secretly love her, why had he taken so many photographs?

Or had he liked her before, only to stop liking her now?

At that thought, an unexpected trace of disappointment welled up in Gu Qinglan's heart.

Soon, the three double-hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Madam Jin had long since grown unbearably anxious, so she ordered Gou Sheng to contact Ye Yu through the communication stone again.

He was to say that they were about to start cutting off hands and force Ye Yu to show himself.

Gou Sheng immediately obeyed.

This time, however, Ye Yu did not answer the communication stone.

No matter how hard Gou Sheng tried, he could not reach him.

It seemed the other party was deliberately refusing to answer.

At that moment, Gu Qinglan's eyes dimmed completely.

Without question, this meant Ye Yu had utterly abandoned them.

Madam Jin knew this as well.

She cursed furiously, "That damned bastard! He talked so confidently, but in the end, he really was too cowardly to come! Useless trash!"

Gou Sheng asked cautiously, "Madam Jin, what should we do now? Cut off their hands first?"

"Cut off their hands, my ass! That brat was clearly too frightened to come. Just kill them all!"

After leaving those words behind, Madam Jin turned to leave.

At the same time, she wondered whether she should make an attempt on Heavenly Mountain Pass.

With Xiao Pingchao's strength, he might not be able to stop her.

Wan Zhengyuan, meanwhile, completely broke down and began wailing on the spot.

"Don't kill us! Wait a little longer! Just wait! I really don't want to die! I'm begging you!"

The moment his voice fell, Madam Jin suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Her reaction left Gou Sheng astonished.

Could Madam Jin have gone softhearted?

How could that be possible?

She was renowned for her ruthless methods. How could a few pleas for mercy possibly change her mind?

That was completely unrealistic.

Madam Jin suddenly spun around and looked toward the east, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"He's here!"

The next second, the entire marshland began trembling violently.

Countless streams of sword energy crashed into the ground, sending sprays of water flying everywhere.

Immediately afterward, a colossal figure descended from the sky and smashed viciously toward Madam Jin.

She did not dodge at all. With nothing more than a thought, an invisible force caught the enormous figure and held it firmly in midair.

Gu Qinglan looked up and abruptly widened her eyes.

The Cyclops of the Divine Sea Society?

Why had they come here?

Madam Jin also seemed to despise these puppets. She immediately frowned and formed a series of seals with both hands.

The Cyclops, whose body towered over a hundred zhang, suddenly shattered into pieces and scattered across the ground.

The next moment, Ye Yu appeared, standing in midair.

His gaze swept over Gu Qinglan and Wan Zhengyuan before settling on Madam Jin.

"Long time no see, old toad. Why are you wearing a veil now? Trying to hide your ugliness?"

Madam Jin tore the veil from her face, revealing the hideous scar covering the left side.

"It really is ugly. This is the mark your last gift left on me. But none of that matters now. As long as you've come, everything else can be discussed. I was genuinely worried just now that you might be too afraid to show up."

"How could I fail to keep my word? I merely ran into a lunatic on the way here, and he delayed me for a while."

As Ye Yu spoke, he raised a hand and pointed across from him.

A figure slowly descended.

It was none other than Cao Angyang, whom they had not seen for a long time.

He no longer possessed any trace of his former unrestrained air. Instead, his entire body exuded a cold and sinister aura.

Even his eyes had turned completely black.

Seen from a distance, his entire being radiated an indescribable strangeness.

To be honest, even Ye Yu found Cao Angyang's transformation extremely puzzling.

Halfway here, the brat had attacked him without saying a word.

Every move had been intended to kill.

I only stole the person you liked. Was it really necessary to come kill me several months later?

Ye Yu had initially wanted to talk things out with him, but he soon realized that something was seriously wrong with Cao Angyang's condition.

Behind him were no fewer than twenty puppets of the Divine Sea Society.

"What is this? Has the dragon slayer joined the evil dragon?"
