The City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, with patrolling guards arranged in the front and back yards. However, these guards were not very skilled, so Pei Yun and the others easily avoided their inspections. After exploring with their spiritual sense, they headed directly to the dungeon in the mansion...

Pei Yun's high-level concealment talisman had been used up, and the two of them did not intend to waste any more time. They simply knocked out the dungeon guards and broke into the dungeon. They reached the deepest part of the dungeon and saw the dying Fu Lingchen.

Luo Rufeng waved his sleeves and easily broke the ban of the dungeon. He saw Fu Lingchen lying on the ground covered in blood, his limbs were tied with iron chains, his clothes were torn, his hair was disheveled, and he was completely different from the unrestrained and handsome gentleman they had seen in the Taotie Tower.

Luo Rufeng put his two fingers together and slashed at the direction of the chains. The sword light passed in front of him. With a "clang" sound, the four chains were cut off at the same time...

The two men came to his side, one on the left and one on the right, and squatted down. Pei Yun's palm rested on top of his head, and he performed the Xisheng Jue to check his physical condition.

After a moment, she frowned and said, "He's not dead yet, but his Dantian was destroyed and his soul was severely injured. It may not be easy to recover..."

"Since he can still be saved, it's worth our trip. Let's wake him up first." Luo Rufeng said, lightly touching his forehead with his finger.

Fu Lingchen woke up from his coma. He raised his eyelids with difficulty, and his blurred vision gradually became clear. When he saw the two people, his lips moved slightly, as if he said to himself: "I... am... hallucinating... How could I... see these two people..."

Hearing this, Pei Yun said unhappily: "Friend Fu, you are not hallucinating. We are here to save you."

As soon as Pei Yun opened his mouth, Fu Lingchen instantly sobered up and looked at the two of them with surprise.

"Do you want us to rescue you?" Luo Rufeng asked directly.

"……certainly."

"Then take this pill." Pei Yun took out a pill, which was a special drug she made.

Fu Lingchen was seriously injured, and it would not be easy to escape with the two of them. They just scanned the area with their spiritual sense and found that there were five or six people in the City Lord's Mansion with higher cultivation than Luo Rufeng, so they could only send them into the space first. But she didn't want to expose the space, so she had to let him fall into a coma first, and then move him out of the space before he woke up.

Fu Lingchen opened his mouth without any hesitation. Now the only parts of his body that could move were his eyes and mouth.

After taking the drug, Fu Lingchen immediately fell into a coma. Pei Yun sent him into the space and asked Venerable Zhenhua to watch over him and not let him wake up.

"Let's go."

Less than an incense stick of time had passed since they entered the City Lord's Mansion, and they had successfully completed their goal of rescuing Fu Lingchen. After leaving the dungeon, under the dim moonlight, two figures flew out of the City Lord's Mansion silently and headed straight for the manor outside the city...

It was not until the banquet in the City Lord's Mansion was nearing its end that the guards discovered that Fu Lingchen had been rescued and the dungeon had been broken into. The guards did not dare to delay and immediately reported the situation to their superiors.

"What?!" Purple City Lord was shocked. The cup in her hand was crushed with a "bang". With a trace of complex hatred on her face, she ordered in a deep voice, "Give the order and send all the guards out to find Fu Lingchen and the people who saved him! And... close the city gates and don't let him escape!"

"Yes, City Lord." After receiving the order, the leader of the City Lord's Mansion immediately went down to make arrangements.

At this time, an old man and a young man who were attending the banquet came over. If Pei Yun was there, he would recognize them, because these two were the Black Turtle and his apprentice Koi Monster whom Pei Yun had met in Taotie Tower before.

"Master Black Turtle."

"Lord Zi, something has happened. Do you need our help?" Black Turtle said with a kind smile.

These days, many forces, both openly and covertly, wanted to pull her down and use Fu Lingchen to attack her in an attempt to make her give up the position of Lord of Yucheng. Naturally, she was unwilling to be stepped on by them, so the purpose of her holding this banquet was to win over some forces. Unexpectedly, something went wrong again.

However, she still knew the character of the Black Turtle. He was not like the demon cultivators around him who were just watching the show. He would really help.

The Purple City Lord greeted the demon cultivators attending the banquet, then left the front hall with the Black Turtle master and disciple and came to a quiet room.

"Master Black Turtle, I do have something to trouble you with..." City Lord Zi told Black Turtle about Fu Lingchen being rescued, and asked, "Master Black Turtle, could you help me with a divination? Where is Fu Lingchen now? Who rescued him?"

Xuan Gui did not refuse and took out the divination tortoise shell from Qiankun's sleeve. After a moment, he sighed deeply.

When Purple City Lord saw his expression, he felt nervous and asked, "Master Black Turtle, what does this hexagram mean?"

"This hexagram shows that the city lord will return empty-handed."

“Returned in vain?! Who saved him? Could it be a powerful human? Where are they now?” The Purple City Lord paced back and forth, feeling anxious and uneasy.

"It's just outside the city." Black Turtle said calmly, "Forgive me for giving you a word of advice, but your fate with Fellow Daoist Fu has ended, and you can't force it."

"The bond between him and me has long been exhausted. I treated him sincerely, but he repaid me like this. I... I will definitely... kill him..."

The hands of Purple City Lord behind her back were clenched into fists, trembling slightly. She looked at Black Turtle and said, "Master Black Turtle, would you like to go with me outside the city to capture Fu Lingchen and his accomplices?"

"……Can."

The carp demon beside him was puzzled to see that the master agreed so readily. As far as he knew, the master would rarely get involved in such troublesome matters: "Master, why did you agree? This matter might be deliberately done by other forces, just to disrupt the situation and force the Purple City Lord to retreat. Why should we get involved!"

"No, the hexagram shows that I might meet an old friend. I'm very curious, which old friend of mine would save Fu Lingchen..."

Outside the city, in the village——

Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng were treating Fu Lingchen in the room. They had planned to leave immediately after rescuing Fu Lingchen.

But firstly, Fu Lingchen was injured too badly, and if he was not treated immediately, he might die in the next moment; secondly, the more than 300 humans they bought from the slave market had not been properly arranged and could not be taken away immediately. Moreover, the management of thousands of people could not be done by one or two people, and they could not be taken away at will.

When the sky outside the window began to brighten slightly at dawn, the treatment of Fu Lingchen finally came to an end. Pei Yun's Xisheng Jue had been circulated over and over again in Fu Lingchen's soul, and finally stabilized his increasingly exhausted soul.

She also took a few ginseng whiskers and spiritual liquid from the space spiritual spring from the little ginseng spirit and fed them to him, and even gave him a wisdom fruit.

“Your Excellency, don’t you think we’ve suffered a huge loss? We only took his magic sword and some supplies, but we had to pay so much…” Pei Yun finally calmed down and said jokingly.

Luo Rufeng shook his head, a doting smile flashed in his eyes. He poured her a cup of tea and said, "Isn't he a weapon refiner? When he recovers, you can ask him to refine a magic weapon for you to repay you..."

"His Dantian was destroyed. Even if his soul can be restored, he will have to practice all over again. Practicing again without losing his spiritual power is several times more difficult than ordinary practice. Sigh..." Pei Yun couldn't help but sigh for him when he thought of the difficulty.

Just as the two were chatting, the four demons of Blue Star came to the door and said anxiously: "Senior Pei, Senior Luo, the Lord of Yucheng City is here! And they seem to know that Fellow Daoist Fu is here, and they want to force their way in!"

Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng looked at each other, stopped smiling, and walked out.

In the room, Fu Lingchen, who was lying on the bed, had his eyelids trembling slightly...

When Pei Yun and the other arrived at the gate of the manor, Black Turtle was trying to dissuade Purple City Lord from forcing his way in. When he looked up and saw Pei Yun, he smiled with emotion as if he had met an old friend again, and said, "The hexagram shows that I will meet an old friend again. I didn't expect it to be little friend Pei!"

"It's you!" The koi monster behind the black turtle was startled, and then looked at Pei Yun as if choked, unable to speak.

"Lord Black Turtle, do you know these two humans?" asked the Purple City Lord with a frown.

"I know this young friend Pei. We met by chance and I have read her fortune for her."

"Lord City Lord, we found out that there are thousands of human beings in this farm. They were all bought by these two people pretending to be demon cultivators at the slave market in Yu City!"

The leader hurried over and reported what he had just investigated to the Purple City Lord, "And Fu Lingchen had been in contact with them a few years ago and had delivered supplies to Zhuangzi many times..."

"Hand over Fu Lingchen. Since you are an old friend of Lord Black Turtle, I will spare your life, but you must hand over these thousands of slaves and food!" The Purple City Lord said sternly, "If you resist, I will have my men crush you..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw the token in Pei Yun's hand, and her voice disappeared! She looked at the token in shock! She was stunned!

"Demon Temple!"

"Demon Temple! This is the token of the Demon Temple!"

"My God!"

All the monsters present stared at the token in Pei Yun's hand in amazement and froze in place for a moment!

"You don't even show respect when you see the token of the Demon God Temple?!"

"…Greetings, sir."

After being stunned for a while, all the monsters saluted Pei Yun one after another. Even the Lord of Purple City, who was too embarrassed to do so, endured the humiliation and saluted Pei Yun.

There was no way. They had a natural reverence for the Demon Realm Mountain, and the Demon God Temple was too famous. This place was very close to the Demon Realm Mountain, and they dared not offend the elders of the Demon God Temple.

"As an elder of the Outer Hall of the Demon God Temple, do I need your approval for anything I do?!" Pei Yun said coldly, "The person you are looking for is not here. If you dare to trespass into my manor, I will report this to the Demon God Temple."

Lord Zicheng still couldn't believe that the human being in front of him actually had the token of the Demon Temple. This was simply unbelievable!

This time, she came here with a large group of men in high spirits, but she didn't expect that she would lose all her momentum at the very beginning. She suppressed the anger and hatred in her heart and said:

"...Sir, Fu Lingchen is my husband. He betrayed me and destroyed the Taotie Tower, causing countless casualties among the demon cultivators. He also angered Master Taotie. I must bring him back and give an explanation to the demons in Yucheng."

Pei Yun also took out the token given to her by the Phoenix clan and the token of the dragon clan elder. Of course, this dragon clan token was not given by Long Yuan, but was obtained from the black dragon's treasure room. She took it out at this moment mainly to bluff.

"Don't threaten me with Lord Taotie. See, this is a token given to me by the Phoenix and Dragon clans. I have an old relationship with both clans. You dare to offend me. Do you want the entire Yu City to be destroyed because of you?!" Pei Yun pretended to be arrogant, raised his head and looked at her with contempt.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the monsters present couldn't help but gasp. Even the black tortoise half-squinted its eyes and stared at the token and relic in Pei Yun's hand.

The koi monster beside him quietly hid behind his master, feeling a little worried as he recalled that he seemed to have offended Pei Yun.

Purple City Lord stared blankly at the token and relic in Pei Yun's hand. He was holding a breath in his chest, but before he could vent it, it completely dissipated. He suddenly became depressed. After a long time, he lowered his head, clenched his fists, asked his men to step aside, and said with red eyes:

"...I dare not offend a big shot like you. Since you want to protect him, I can only give up. But Fu Lingchen and I are husband and wife. Before we part, I want to see him again..."

Pei Yun didn't say anything. He looked at Luo Rufeng. While he was hesitating, Fu Lingchen came out supported by Lan Xiang...

"What do you want to say... to me?" Fu Lingchen looked at her calmly.

"Why? I have treated you so well. We have known each other for more than seventy years and have been married for sixty years. Why did you do this? Why did you betray me?" The resentment filled the heart of the Purple City Lord completely erupted at this moment.

"More than a hundred years ago, you and your Master Taotie came to the cultivation world. Just to satisfy the appetite of the Master, you and your men slaughtered the entire Fujia Village. Thousands of human beings in the village were killed by you, even the children were not spared, and they became the food of the Master Taotie. I was in the sect at the time, and I was lucky enough to escape. How can I not avenge such a deep hatred!"

Fu Lingchen stared at Lord Zicheng with red eyes, his pale face full of hatred. All the people and monsters could feel the overwhelming hatred in him.

"...So that's it! So that's it!" Purple City Lord suddenly realized. She wanted to laugh, but tears flowed down unconsciously. "It turns out that there has been a deep hatred between us for a long time! So... you approached me... for revenge? It turns out that the feelings over the years... were all fake..."

"...My parents and family members were all slaughtered by you. There has always been hatred between us...It's a pity that we didn't kill the culprit this time..." Fu Lingchen avoided her gaze, lowered his head and said expressionlessly.
