Shen Sen stood up and walked toward the exit of the banquet hall. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by someone reaching out their hand.

“The order from His Royal Highness King of Hell states that everyone must stay here and not leave.”

Shen Sen’s pupils shrank. That person was at Nascent Soul’s late stage. Moreover, he had never seen this person around Xi Yue and Nangong Yu.

As Shen Sen extended his Divine Sense, his expression became even more horrified. Outside the banquet hall, there weren’t just one or two Nascent Soul stage cultivators guarding. Several mysterious people surrounded this place, and one of them had cultivation far surpassed his own.

What happened?

…

Sealed Dragon Domain.

Hexi suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain, as if something important was leaving her.

Bitter tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked, barely managing to hold back her tears.

With the enemy still in front of her, she had no time for sorrow or weakness. There were many lives in the Seal Dragon Realm waiting for her protection.

Silver Fox touched the silver mask on his face and chuckled, “Xi Yue, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard of your great reputation. Both your talent and abilities are admired by the Green Vine Clan.”

“Don’t you think it’s a pity to stay in this small Miluo Continent, given your ability? On behalf of my Green Vine Clan, I invite Miss Xi Yue to join us. What do you think?”

As soon as Silver Fox spoke, Lou Wushuang’s expression changed drastically. She glared at him fiercely, “Silver Fox, what do you mean by this? Do you want to keep it all to yourself?”

Silver Fox, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, smiled nonchalantly, “Miss Lou, you must be joking. I truly admire Xi Yue’s talent and wish to recruit her into the Green Vine Clan. This is also an opportunity for Xi Yue, isn’t it?”

A dark glint flickered in Hexi’s eyes as she suddenly said in a low voice, “You went to great lengths to capture me for the wood spiritual root I possess, didn’t you?”

Silver Fox’s pupils shrank slightly, then he smiled meaningfully, “Do you think, Xi Yue, that just for a mere wood spiritual root, it would be worth mobilizing all of us?”

Hexi’s face darkened. She called out sternly toward a dark corner not far away, “Lu Xuyang, how much longer do you plan to hide?”

After she shouted, the surroundings remained eerily quiet. But soon, a figure slowly emerged from the corner.

Wearing a scholar’s robe and smiling elegantly, who could he be if he wasn’t Lu Xuyang?

Lu Xuyang looked at Hexi, greed burning in his eyes. However, he hid it well, “Xi Yue, the wood source on your body is a legendary treasure in the cultivation world. It’s not something a small fry like you should possess. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better hand it over to Sir Silver Fox willingly. Otherwise, you will only lose your own life and cause so many innocent lives to perish with you!”

Hexi looked at Lu Xuyang, who appeared respectable but was vile at heart. A cold murderous intent began to fill her heart.

Yet, her expression remained calm and casual. “It seems Sir Silver Fox really wants me, Xi Yue, to join the Green Vine Clan. That’s not impossible. Just hand over the life of this scoundrel, Lu Xuyang, for me to deal with, and I’ll go back with you to the Green Vine Clan!”

Upon hearing this, Silver Fox burst into laughter, “As long as we can get the wood source and get Miss Xi Yue to join my Green Vine Clan, the life of a mere subordinate like Lu Xuyang is something I can certainly offer to Miss Xi Yue.”

Lu Xuyang’s face changed. A trace of panic and resentment flashed in his eyes but he suppressed it.
