Calm, I must remain calm, I can’t act impulsively, at this moment I need to learn to endure.

Sorry, Qingqing, please bear with it a little longer, I promise I will make you happy in the future...

Just when almost everyone was caught off guard, the array of Yama Palace suddenly activated on its own, and then Li Chengfeng and the others saw a mysterious man appear out of thin air before the hall.

He wielded an axe-shaped mysterious artifact and fiercely struck down on the array!

Nobody knew the origins of this artifact, but the powerful array of Yama Palace couldn’t block him; in an instant, he broke through to the hall door.

Li Chengfeng and the others were shocked and angry, just about to make a move together, when they saw the man, while exerting force to push the door, shouting: "Li Chengfeng! You say you like her? What are you? Just a coward!"

"You can’t save her, and yet you won’t let me save her?"

Li Chengfeng’s expression changed, stopping the elder beside him, "You know me? Wait, are you that Chu Xuan?!"

Ever since the four Hidden Guards returned to the sect from Wuyou Valley, Li Chengfeng had inquired about Qingqing’s situation in detail from them, learning that she had an ambiguous relationship with a righteous disciple named Chu Xuan, which naturally displeased him greatly.

When he went to bring Qingqing back a few days ago, Li Chengfeng also privately asked other disciples; many witnessed the Saintess and that Chu Xuan laughing and chatting together, which made him resentful towards Chu Xuan even more.

Enemies meeting face to face, especially with such bitterness, Li Chengfeng should have immediately killed him, but this person’s words were like ripping open a wound in his heart.

His expression changed multiple times, and for a moment, he couldn’t decide.

Inside Yama Palace, Qingqing seemed to hear Chu Xuan’s voice in a daze.

Initially, she mocked herself for being tormented to the point of hallucinating, but then the second sentence came, causing a drastic change in her expression.

Chu Xuan really came to save her, but how could this be possible?!

Instantly, her heart was filled with anxiety and worry, she wanted to shout for Chu Xuan not to come in, it was too dangerous, to flee quickly!

But she was in such pain that she couldn’t speak, only allowing tears to fall, one drop at a time...

"Boom~!" A loud crash sounded, and the two massive doors, crafted from millennium black iron and weighing over a thousand kilograms, were pushed open by Chu Xuan with full force.

The white-haired elder could no longer hold back, he clasped and spread his palms, immediately releasing a Profound Yin Demon Flame, while a large number of Demon Sect’s Hidden Guards also prepared to attack together.

Chu Xuan charged into the hall without looking back, while a gruesome green ghost fire shot from the artifact, colliding and exploding against the demon flame, mutually counteracting.

At this moment, Li Chengfeng surprisingly shouted at his own people: "Stop!"

The elder’s expression turned somewhat unsightly, about to speak, but Li Chengfeng, with a cold face, stopped him:

"Approaching the magic womb is already a dangerous task, let alone disturbing it while it’s feeding, it’s simply asking for death. We just stand here and watch how he dies."

At this moment, Li Chengfeng truly hoped Chu Xuan would die inside, yet he also wished Qingqing could be saved, a completely contradictory state of mind.

As soon as Chu Xuan rushed into the hall, he found in the depths of the hall, a fetal membrane-like black spherical object coiled.

It emitted a rolling Demonic Qi all over, supposed to be purely black, but at this moment, its interior blossomed with a multi-colored glow, its surface further appearing with seven apertures, seemingly empowered by some force.

The magic womb seemed to nurture some life inside, now emitting a "thump thump thump" heartbeat sound, while Qingqing’s body had long been swallowed into it, leaving only her head outside.

Seeing Qingqing’s tearful and miserable state, Chu Xuan felt like his heart was being cut, immediately rushing forward as fast as he could to rescue her.

No, no!

Qingqing was frantic, but opening her mouth she could not speak.

Just as Chu Xuan approached the magic womb within three feet, suddenly an immense pressure, overwhelming him, made it hard to breathe, and he felt a strong oppressive force crush over.

With the silver white axe formed from Six Souls Banner just raised, the magic womb instantly extended dozens of Demonic Qi strands to grab him and drag him over.

The speed was truly too fast; a pressure, a drag, leaving no time to react.

Moreover, against Chu Xuan, the magic womb was not as polite as with Qingqing; it swallowed him entirely!

Then the magic womb began fully digesting this sumptuous "meal," firstly devouring the hair, skin, flesh, bones, while also extracting his magical power, divine sense, vitality, and Dao base, with the soul being the most delicious, saved for the end to consume. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Let him go! Let him go! Qingqing desperately conveyed her intention to the magic womb, but it was like a gluttonous child, not listening to her at all.

Li Chengfeng watched this scene, his gaze turning icy cold, see, you called me a coward, and you? Just a foolhardy brute, you think you’re a hero, no, you’re just a bear!

Inside the magic womb, Chu Xuan’s eyes were tightly shut, the vitality within his body drained continuously, his entire flesh and blood blurred, but his right hand clung tightly to the Six Souls Banner, with only one thought in mind:

Save her, I must save her!

Perhaps sensing his unwavering intent, the Six Souls Banner suddenly returned to its original form, bursting forth with radiant brilliance!

"Aaaaaahhh~!!"

Simultaneously, the magic womb emitted a piercing wail, echoing throughout the entire mountain peak.

Its interior shot out strands of eerie green light, within which a faint view of a triangular black flag steadily unfurling, with six swaying tails beneath the flag.

On the flag’s surface, countless mysterious tadpole characters and ancient spells flickered one by one, exuding an enigmatic and archaic atmosphere, as if they had existed for countless years.

As the eerie green light flowed like water, Chu Xuan immediately regained the ability to move freely, disregarding his injuries, he fiercely swam to where Qingqing was, closely embracing her and rushing out of the magic womb in one breath!

The Six Souls Banner followed closely behind, eventually shooting into Chu Xuan’s body and disappearing.
