Wang Le saw that the red-haired man had failed to break the barrier twice and couldn't help but purse his lips. He mustered his courage and said, "My Lord, we..."
The red-haired man, to cover his embarrassment, couldn't help but scold Wang Le, "What do you know? Shut up for this Lord!"
"Yes! Your subordinate will shut up now!"
Wang Le shivered and quickly closed his mouth, fearing that he would anger the red-haired man and be slapped to death by him!
After Wang Le fell silent, the surrounding air became completely quiet. The red-haired man took a deep breath and said, "You wait here obediently. This Lord will go and deal with the barrier!"
As soon as the words fell, the red-haired man flew directly to the edge of the barrier, placed his hand on it, and analyzed the barrier's structure.
A moment later, after analyzing the barrier's structure, the red-haired man frowned and muttered, "The original setting of this barrier should have been to absorb all external energy to supply itself. Why has it now become to absorb all the energy within the barrier?"
"This way, it is easy for outsiders to break through, and the people inside the barrier cannot get out at all... With such a barrier, my divine sense alone cannot break it from the inside. Do I have to bring my main body? Isn't this a trap?"
Thinking of this, a hint of hesitation appeared in the red-haired man's eyes. Although he was reluctant to give up the energy-filled Wang Le, he was also unwilling to put himself in danger for Wang Le.
What if this was a trap set by the Demon Palace? Wouldn't it be suicidal for him to come here with his main body?
Thinking of this, the red-haired man scanned the environment outside the barrier again. Seeing that the surrounding spiritual energy was very calm, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I remember Ye Ling's aura appeared in this area. My sister seemed to have attacked Ye Ling before. I don't know what the result of the battle was..."
The red-haired man suddenly had a bad premonition and quickly transmitted a message to the Blood Lotus Profound Lady to ask, "Sister, how is your side? Have you dealt with Ye Ling's matter?"
The Blood Lotus Profound Lady in the Blood Lotus Fire Valley heard the red-haired man's message and was about to reply when she remembered Ye Ling's instructions. She could only transmit back, "He wasn't killed. I was a bit careless just now, and he ran away."
"Ran away?"
The red-haired man's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed, "Why didn't you say this earlier? I'm already in the capital! How much has his strength recovered? How strong is he specifically? Should I run away?"
The Blood Lotus Profound Lady sighed slightly and replied, "You don't need to worry about this. Ye Ling's current strength is only at the late stage of Saint, still a bit weaker than you. Moreover, his aura is very unstable. The four puppets I sent were only half-saints, but they could still fight him evenly. Although Ye Ling repelled the Heavenly God I controlled, he was also seriously injured. He is probably recuperating somewhere and has no time to bother with you."
Although the Blood Lotus Profound Lady said this, she was heartbroken.
This red-haired man was her younger brother, Yan Dansheng, one of the twelve pillars of the Shadow Hall and one of the main forces of the Shadow Hall against the Demon Palace.
Although she wanted to warn Yan Dansheng to stay away from Ye Ling, she and Yan Dansheng were no longer on the same side. If she said anything more, they would both die.
Yan Dansheng trusted the Blood Lotus Profound Lady very much. After learning that Ye Ling's current strength was only at the late stage of Saint, he was slightly relieved and smiled, "So that's how it is... I was just overthinking it."
"It seems that the barrier of the Wang family in the capital is not a trap set by Ye Ling, but a mistake made by those mortals when constructing the barrier, which caused the barrier to mutate. Thinking about it this way, it makes sense."
Hearing Yan Dansheng's muttering, the Blood Lotus Profound Lady felt a pang of guilt, but she didn't dare to tell Yan Dansheng the truth, so she could only continue to transmit, "What? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Yan Dansheng complained, "Alas, sister, you know this. The Palace Master has handed over all matters in the mortal world to me, asking me to develop the Shadow Hall to the scale of the former Red Dust Pavilion. Troubles are endless."
"Now the mortal world is the domain of the Demon Palace, and the mortals I can find are not only weak but also troublesome. I have to rely on the so-called Four Great Families to overthrow Ye Ling's Demon Palace. Isn't this a hell-level dungeon?"
"The current situation is not very optimistic for us. Even if the news of Ye Ling's loss of cultivation spreads all over the world, most of the world's powers are just waiting and watching the situation. In this situation, it is basically impossible for me to overthrow the Demon Palace by relying on the four useless families in the capital."
"All I can do now is to accumulate all my strength and push towards the Demon Palace in one go, destroying the Demon Palace before Ye Ling recovers, so as to expand the influence of my Shadow Hall."
The Blood Lotus Profound Lady's mouth twitched after listening. She knew very well the outcome of Yan Dansheng doing this, but she couldn't warn him, so she could only force herself to agree, "Indeed, the Palace Master's arrangement for this matter was not well considered, but you have done well enough. I see that you have turned the mortal world of China upside down. Even if you can't overthrow the Demon Palace in the end, the Palace Master won't blame you."
"It's not that they won't blame me! There are a lot of people watching in the Shadow Hall, waiting for me to be dealt with so they can take over my job!"
Yan Dansheng and the Blood Lotus Profound Lady seemed to have opened a floodgate of complaints. Yan Dansheng began to pour out his woes to the Blood Lotus Profound Lady, "Sister, you know I didn't want to take this job, but the Palace Master insisted on giving it to me."
"Our Shadow Hall has already lost a lot of people to Ye Ling, even the Young Palace Master was lured away by Ye Ling, and even Ye Feng, who is now strongly advocating for dealing with Ye Ling, has died once. In this situation, the Palace Master still keeps looking for trouble with Ye Ling. I suspect he has gone mad."
"When the Palace Master asked me to deal with the Demon Palace, I thought I was already dead."
The Blood Lotus Profound Lady quickly said, "You can't say that. If it reaches the Palace Master's ears, you will have nowhere to be buried!"
Yan Dansheng sighed heavily, "I can only say these words to you, sister. Now the three realms are in chaos, and there are undercurrents everywhere. Even Saints are precarious and may fall at any time. It's a pity that many people in the Shadow Hall are arrogant. After the Demon Palace appeared, they still thought they were the best in the world and had no sense of crisis. They have all become arrogant due to years of peace."
"It's just a pity that I'm not capable and can only be swept along to deal with the Demon Palace."
Listening to Yan Dansheng's words, the Blood Lotus Profound Lady fell silent.
Yan Dansheng was the type of person in the Shadow Hall who was always afraid of Ye Ling. No one expected that someone who didn't want to be Ye Ling's enemy would eventually become the vanguard of the Shadow Hall against the Demon Palace...
Yan Dansheng had refused this task several times, which even led other powerful figures in the Shadow Hall to believe that Yan Dansheng was overly worried and wanted to snatch the task from Yan Dansheng. However, no one could change what Xuanxiao had decided, so Yan Dansheng had to personally descend to the mortal world to fight the Demon Palace.
It was ironic that before the Blood Lotus Profound Lady was subdued by Ye Ling, she also believed that the Demon Palace was just a fleeting phenomenon and not worth paying attention to. When Xuanxiao assigned Yan Dansheng, she even thought that Yan Dansheng had picked up a great merit for nothing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent people to hunt down Ye Ling in the first place.
It was just a pity that now she knew Yan Dansheng was right, but she couldn't stop Yan Dansheng.
Yan Dansheng didn't know that the Blood Lotus Profound Lady had already betrayed him and continued, "Forget it, forget it. The matter of讨伐 the Demon Palace was personally arranged by the Palace Master, and I can't refuse it. I only hope that when I encounter Ye Ling, his cultivation has not yet recovered."
"Sister, let's not talk anymore. After I break this place with my main body, I'll come to find you for a drink."
The Blood Lotus Profound Lady said bitterly, "Yes... Good luck."
