Seeing his subordinates killed and himself being suppressed by Yinggeye everywhere, Heishan Lao Yao's eyes flickered.

"Yinggeye, are you really going to force me to this extent?"

Yinggeye held the Heavenly Demon Bell, with black aura swirling around her, her momentum was strong, and she stared coldly at Heishan Lao Yao. "Use all your tricks!"

"Hmph, if I'm going to die, I'll take you all with me!"

Heishan Lao Yao's face was twisted and terrifying, his eyes filled with venom. A wave of demonic aura swirled around him, and his ghostly body, like a balloon, rapidly expanded.

"Damn it, this Heishan Lao Yao is crazy, if he can't win, he'll self-destruct!"

Seeing this, Yinggeye's face changed. She cursed and protected herself with the Heavenly Demon Bell, then turned and flew out of the cave.

"Oh no, he's self-destructing!"

The tree demon and the girl by the stream both cried out in alarm, and they also flew out of the cave. Although Yan Chixia couldn't see what was happening, his ears were still sharp. He sheathed his sword and darted out of the cave.

Ning Wuxie was closest to the entrance. When he heard Heishan Lao Yao's words and saw Yinggeye turn around, he realized something was wrong. Heishan Lao Yao was a ruthless person, not only to others but also to himself.

"Want to escape? Too late, Yinggeye, stay and accompany me in death!"

Heishan Lao Yao laughed maniacally. How could he let everyone leave? With a wave of his hand, two black beams shot out, hitting the rock wall above the entrance. With a loud boom, boulders rolled down, and the entrance was instantly sealed.

At the same time, a deafening explosion sounded behind him, like thunder. A black wave centered on Heishan Lao Yao spread out in all directions. The black wave hit Yinggeye, and it was as if she was crushed by a thousand-pound rock. Yinggeye, protected by the Heavenly Demon Bell, was thrown back, spewing blood, and crashed into the rock wall.

The tree demon, the girl by the stream, and Yan Chixia were also not spared, being heavily hit by the falling debris.

Boom...

The peak where Lanruo Temple was located shook violently, as if hit by an earthquake. The entire peak collapsed several meters, and the tremor even reached Wuzhou City, causing the citizens to run out of their homes.

At the Yuanji Medical Hall, Chen Qinglong, with a bandaged shoulder, also felt the ground tremble. He looked in the direction of Lanruo Temple, his eyes filled with worry. He vaguely felt that this tremor was related to Ning Wuxie.

Today is July 14th. He remembered that Ning Wuxie had mentioned this date, and he hadn't returned since leaving yesterday. "Could something have happened?"

"Zhang Ling, let's go and check it out." Chen Qinglong took a deep breath, walked out of the house, and called out to Zhang Ling, who was also coming out of the house.

Zhang Ling was a bit confused. He had been sleeping soundly, and the tremor had woken him up. "Boss, was it an earthquake?"

"I don't know."

Chen Qinglong shook his head and walked outside. Zhang Ling was puzzled but decided to follow Chen Qinglong.

"Hey, where are you going? Your wound hasn't healed yet..." A doctor at the Yuanji Medical Hall saw Chen Qinglong leaving and called out.

Unfortunately, Chen Qinglong and Zhang Ling had already disappeared into the night. Yuan Hong, wearing a thick robe, looked at the doctor. "Let them go..."

This time, leaving the city was much easier than entering. The guards at the city gate had seen Zhang Ling and knew that these two were not to be trifled with, even Wu Jin had to curry favor with them. After explaining the reason, the guards let the two out of the city.

The two moved quickly. Lanruo Temple was about twenty miles from Wuzhou City. With their excellent footwork, it would take them two hours to get there, but Chen Qinglong and Zhang Ling were much faster, reaching the foot of the mountain in just half an hour. Ahead, a dozen torches were also heading up the mountain.

Chen Qinglong and Zhang Ling appeared behind the group and shouted, "Who are you?"

Hearing the shout, the two breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out from the shadows. "It's me, Brother Wuxie, I'm Chen Qinglong..."

Several torches shone, revealing everyone's faces.

"Brother Chen, are you better? Why are you here?" Ning Wuxie, holding a copper staff, walked over quickly.

"Oh, I felt something was wrong at Lanruo Temple, so I came to check. What about you?"

"Same!"

Ning Wuxie smiled. Both Chen Qinglong and he had experienced the events at Lanruo Temple, so they were naturally curious when something happened here.

Outside Lanruo Temple, under the torchlight, everyone drew a sharp breath. Lanruo Temple was unrecognizable, with large cracks spreading out like a spider web. Each crack was over a meter wide and several dozen meters long, and there were mangled corpses beside the cracks, their flesh and blood indistinguishable.

"Wow, is this a fight between demons?"

Many of Chen Qinglong's subordinates looked shocked. Even the siege weapons on the battlefield couldn't cause such destruction. The tiger claws, bear paws, and terrifying heads on the ground showed that this battle had nothing to do with humans.

"Boss, are there really demons?"

Many people shivered. The night was filled with a chilling atmosphere, and the occasional cry of a night owl made even the battle-hardened soldiers uneasy.

Chen Qinglong frowned, looking at the cracks and bodies on the ground, feeling surprised.

"Look around, see if you find anything."

His subordinates spread out, searching the area around Lanruo Temple. In the darkness, the mist drifted.

"I feel uneasy, did my cousin really get into trouble?" Ning Wuxie stood beside Chen Qinglong, his face filled with worry.

Chen Qinglong exhaled deeply, shaking his head slightly. "I'm not sure, let's see what we can find..."

"Boss, there's someone here!"

Suddenly, a cry came from a distance. Chen Qinglong and Ning Wuxie immediately went over. Beside a pile of earth and stones, a man with disheveled hair and covered in blood lay, his legs still buried in the earth.

"Yan Chixia?" Chen Qinglong's face changed slightly, and he felt Yan Chixia's philtrum. "He's still alive, quickly, dig him out."

Ning Wuxie and others immediately started digging, clearing the earth and laying Yan Chixia down. "Who has water?"

"I have some..."

Chen Qinglong gave Yan Chixia a few sips of water.

"Cough, cough..." Yan Chixia woke up, coughing out the water from his mouth.

"Master Yan, what happened here?" Ning Wuxie asked quickly.

Seeming to recognize Ning Wuxie's voice, Yan Chixia weakly raised his hand and said, "Be... below... there... are... people..."

After saying these few words, Yan Chixia fainted again.

"Master Yan?" Ning Wuxie shook Yan Chixia.

"There are people below, dig them out..."

Zhang Ling and his subordinates started digging. Soon, Yinggeye and the tree demon were dug out.

"Hey, there's a white fox here..." Zhang Ling picked up a small fox and threw it aside. "This fur is good, it can be sold for some money to buy wine..."

"Buy wine? Maybe it's a fox spirit." Someone laughed.

Chen Qinglong looked at the white fox, a wisp of demonic aura swirling around it, and glared at the person who spoke. "What are you laughing at? That's a fox spirit."

"This is my cousin's dagger!"

Ning Wuxie, who was digging, cried out. Chen Qinglong's eyes narrowed. "Dig deeper!"
