Liu Futong discusses the current state of the Holy Sect with Han Miaozhen, noting the absence of other powerful elders who have established their own factions. Han Miaozhen reflects on her past and her current position, eventually accepting Liu Futong's decision to face his fate. As Han Miaozhen prepares to give Liu Futong his last meal, a scream is heard from outside, disrupting the somber moment.

At this precise moment, someone made a direct entrance through the main gate. As the guards within the courtyard made ready to intervene, they suddenly observed a figure dart from the side, immediately followed by a pink flash that streaked before their eyes. In the very next instant, everyone present lost conscious awareness.

They all slumped to the ground in a heap.

"Hey there, Sister Han."

Having swiftly subdued the guards, the pink figure paused and gave a wave towards Han Miaozhen, a sweet smile gracing her features.

"Mei Tu."

Han Miaozhen regarded Mei Tu with a cold stare, her brows knitted together, radiating a palpable killing intent.

Just then, another individual entered through the doorway and, with a polite cupping of his fists, greeted, "Han Dharma King."

Han Miaozhen turned her attention to him, her expression growing even more severe: "Chen Long!"

"Why have you come here?"

After shaking off her initial surprise, Han Miaozhen inquired. Upon hearing this, Mei Tu let out a soft chuckle: "I simply missed Sister Han, so I came to pay you a visit."

Aware of Mei Tu's peculiar nature, Han Miaozhen chose to disregard her and focused solely on Chen Long.

Despite Chen Long's often devious ways, he occasionally offered words of truth during critical junctures.

With a smile plastered on his face, Chen Long stated, "Well, we have arrived today to request that the Dharma King release the Venerable."

Han Miaozhen's frown deepened considerably, "Have you lost your minds? Releasing the Venerable – do you truly believe there will be favorable outcomes for yourselves? Or is there something you cannot avoid facing? And where is Dharma King Du?"

"Haha, Dharma King Du? Your Dharma King Du should still be occupied guarding the Ruins, as expected."

In response to Han Miaozhen's words, a voice echoed from an unspecified location. Han Miaozhen followed the sound and spotted an individual perched atop the wall, casually holding an apple, which they bit into with a loud crunch and began to chew.

Han Miaozhen's expression shifted dramatically: "Chen Jiusi!"

The person enjoying the apple turned his head to gaze at Han Miaozhen and offered a smile: "Hehe, it has been quite some time, Han Dharma King."

Han Miaozhen questioned, "Was it you who orchestrated this?"

Chen Jie responded, "What do you mean 'it was me'? Elder Chen Long and Elder Mei Tu have seen the error of their ways and chosen the righteous path. They realized that continuing to follow you and Du Zundao would lead to a dead end, so they have turned over a new leaf and returned to serve the Little Ming King. They are now acting under the Ming King's direct order to rescue the imprisoned Master Yushan. Therefore, I implore you, do not be unreasonable and hand over Master Yushan. Otherwise, if we are forced to resort to force, the consequences for life and limb will be beyond anyone's control."

"You have actually switched your allegiance to Han Lin'er?"

Han Miaozhen found this hard to believe. It wasn't just her; even Chen Long and Mei Tu seemed taken aback that Chen Jie would claim they were defecting to Han Lin'er.

Chen Jie deliberately uttered these words for those within to overhear, specifically targeting Liu Futong. Given the immense value Liu Futong placed on the Little Ming King, Chen Jie aimed to elevate the Little Ming King's standing, rather than allowing that perceived prestige to fall upon himself.

Had he claimed the credit for subduing Chen Long and Mei Tu, Liu Futong might have suspected an external invasion of his Zoroastrian Sect and potentially included himself among those with sinister intentions.

Thus, Chen Jie strategically attributed all present advantages to the Little Ming King.

Chen Long, after a moment of contemplation, glanced towards the open doorway and declared, "Hmm, Mei Tu and I have deliberated. We cannot betray the Ming King, so we have abandoned our wicked ways and returned to serve under the Ming King."

Hearing this, Han Miaozhen responded with a chilling tone, "Very well, you pair of traitors. Are you not afraid that Dharma King Du will return and exact his vengeance upon you both?"

"Hahaha... Han Dharma King, cease your attempts to intimidate us. By the time Dharma King Du makes his return, we will have already successfully rescued the Master. I, for one, would be fascinated to see if Dharma King Du dares to confront the Master then!"

"You!"

Han Miaozhen was overcome with fury.

Nevertheless, Chen Jie nonchalantly waved his hand and commanded, "They are already preparing to strike you down, so do not hesitate. Attack them!"

Upon hearing this command, Chen Long and Mei Tu exchanged a look, and in the very next moment, they cupped their fists towards Han Miaozhen, uttering, "Forgive us!"
