Although Xu Ying's appearance showed no signs of aging, her expression was calmer and more composed than before.

But Yan Hai hesitated, which also meant that she was sure to win this game.

In the dim light of the torches, Xu Ying's moon-white gauze skirt looked like clouds and mist, adding to the eeriness of the forest path with twisted branches.

After a long silence, Yan Haixi said coldly: "What do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Xu Ying chuckled and talked about the past: "Back then, in the dark market of Western Xinjiang, Futu Mountain was defeated by Yongye City. Then, the entire Huainan Pei family was killed by Emperor Xuanyuan Yang, causing me to completely lose the financial support of the Pei family."

"But God has been kind to me."

"The leader of the Pei clan's shadow guards, Vulture, is not only a secret agent sent into Mount Futu by the Witch Queen, but also her son. This is a great opportunity. I will naturally choose to join forces with Vulture and use Bai Muliang's posthumous child to gather the Barbarian Golden Scorpions and take revenge on Emperor Xuanyuan Yang."

Suddenly, she heard Yan Haixi ask in confusion, "You have seen the Mengjia Island where people were skinned and ripped open, and you have seen Futu Mountain where people were treated as livestock. You know better than anyone that the few lines of the imperial edict back then are far less serious than the Pei family's sins."

"Why have you been so persistent for sixteen years, and are willing to pay any price to avenge Pei?"

Being questioned like this, Xu Ying's smile was tinged with sarcasm: "Commander Yan, why have you stayed in the imperial capital all these years?"

Amid the noisy night wind, Yan Haixi's silence made Xu Ying's mockery even more pronounced.

"Everything I have done in the past sixteen years was not for the barbarians or the Pei family, but only for that one person."

"Who are you to him?" Yan Haixi did not hesitate to pierce Xu Ying's illusion. "Why do you have to avenge him?"

And this deliberate provocation did indeed cause Xu Ying's expression to change suddenly.

She was filled with resentment and said painfully, "No matter what! Xuanyuan Diyang must die!! I have been dormant for sixteen years and read the notes left by the Witch Queen countless times. Yan Haixi, guess what I found?"

"The bait I want is never Xuanyuan Diyang. It's her daughter."

"I know that when she was trapped in the Rebirth Array, Xuanyuan Zhuo was already in her belly. When the two-world passage in the Snow Valley Peach Blossom Forest was opened, the spiritual flow was majestic and abundant, making Xuanyuan Zhuo a natural spiritual body, which is an excellent sacrifice for refining the array!!"

“Hahaha! Xuanyuan Diyang would never have thought of this!” Xu Ying’s laughter gradually became shrill, and she stared at Yan Haixi with hatred: “Her daughter will be used by me to destroy this continent! Let everything she cherishes be reduced to ashes!!”

Hearing this, Yan Haixi tried to test him: "Yang Ji didn't want to, so you killed him?"

"Killing him is a mercy to him. He won't have to witness the tragic scene of this continent being submerged by magma." Xu Ying smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yan Haixi, in fact, it would have been better if you had made up your mind to kill Xuanyuan Diyang earlier."

"The eldest son will not die."

"I don't have to become like this, holding on to resentment and not being able to get rid of it."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then the barbarian golden scorpion behind Xu Ying, fully armed, suddenly surrounded and attacked.

Seeing this, Yan Haixi clenched the sword in his hand helplessly.

A moment later, on the sunny side of Chiyan Mountain.

A Bao looked out at the golden palace on the top of the mountain that was burned down by King Ule's personal order, and recalled that this place was once the holy land of the barbarian kingdom.

All the tragic times in the past seemed to be sealed.

Suddenly, she frowned in confusion: It’s snowing in the middle of summer?

The sky was full of black snow, and she raised her hand to catch it.

When I looked closely, it was black ashes.

At this time, the black-robed imperial uncle who was walking in front of her turned around and stretched out his hand to her.

She twisted the black ashes with her fingertips, guessing things in her heart, and tightly held her uncle's hand, continuing to walk deeper into the cave tunnel.

However, the deeper they got into the mountain, the more the heat waves surged, further confirming her worries.

A Bao, sweating profusely, walked to the end of the cave tunnel, where dark shadows were swaying in the wind.

Sad thoughts surged into her heart, and she walked forward cautiously. With the help of the torch, she finally made out the staggering black shadows approaching quietly.

As expected, they found... corpses that were burnt like charcoal.

And she finally figured out what that strange smell was that she had been smelling ever since she stepped onto the mountain trail.

It tastes like burnt, barbecued meat.

The charred corpses rushed over, and A Bao was protected by the black-robed emperor's uncle and the secret guards, gradually retreating towards the direction where the hot wind was blowing.

Suddenly, the scene that came into Abao's eyes shocked her.

There was a cliff deep inside the Chiyan Mountain, with clusters of hot fire constantly spewing out from the surrounding cliff walls!

Under the cliff was an undercurrent of magma, boiling and roiling like boiling blood.

When Po looked back, he saw the charred corpses still chasing him.

The only iron chain suspension bridge on the cliff was connected to a skull left by some unknown giant beast, and even the molten lava could not damage it at all. As for the densely packed strange runes carved on it, even though A Bao had read all the ancient books on esoteric arts in the world, he had never seen them before.

"Cross the bridge!" Abao gave the order decisively!

A moment later, in the messy python's den.

After fighting with the young man Mu Gui for a long time but still unable to determine the winner, Zhuo Zhuo gradually felt that he was not up to the task.

At this moment, the pit wall suddenly opened with a loud bang!

While blocking Mu Gui's cold sword, she nervously turned her head and suddenly, in shock, she saw her mother's skirt fluttering in the wind.

Was she seeing things? Why was her mother surrounded by golden light?

Amid the sound of fighting, the taut Qilin bowstring in the mother's hand suddenly loosened, and the cold feather arrow flew through the air, brushing past her face, lifting her hair and making a loud clanging sound. She turned around and saw Mu Gui was pierced through the left shoulder by the arrow and nailed into the wall of the pit.

The young man with blood splattered on his face looked disheveled and miserable.
