After killing three immortal envoys, Qingzhi and Baili An found themselves targeted by the Golden Immortal Feng Xu. Baili An, however, devised a plan to conceal Qingzhi's aura and suggested a radical approach to expose Feng Xu's cruelty. He also revealed that Shen Qilang, who had taken notice of Ting Yan, might be the powerful Water God, Emperor Chenghuang, and produced a Divine Origin bead as proof.

Earlier, it’s likely that the Emperor Chenghuang had already sensed the existence of the Divine Origin.

Even so, at that moment, Baili An couldn’t recklessly use his Spiritual Power; he had to fully suppress the restless Divine Origin Power.

To him, the Water God’s Divine Origin, although a treasure symbolizing the supreme power of heaven and earth,

as the Water God, if he knew the Divine Origin was on him and was used by him, it would surely bring great calamity.

Seeing this, Ting Yan felt deeply incredulous.

First, she didn’t expect that a Venerable Immortal like the Emperor Chenghuang would truly, like those high-ranking officials,

disguise himself to sneak out and taste the wild flavors of this unrefined brothel; his taste is quite outrageous.

But thinking about it, such a possibility is also very high.

One must know that the Empress, is the most perfect deity in the Six Path Order, belonging to the brilliant Star River, uninterested in mundane desires.

Ultimately, isn’t this the kind of person who is so abstinent and unfeeling to the bone, like an ice block?

So cold and indifferent, neither understanding feelings and sense nor charming and alluring.

Even if the Holy Spirit appears in the world, it still looks like those dignified portraits of gods passed down for millennia, sacred and inviolable.

Yet, the Emperor Chenghuang is a naturally amorous celestial deity.

Being married to such a person for a long time, it’s inevitable to feel lonely.

Gradually digesting the fact of the visit by the Venerable Immortal Emperor Chenghuang, but what puzzled Ting Yan even more was Baili An’s attitude.

She completely didn’t understand what was going on.

Why did it seem that he would rather risk offending the terrifying Golden Immortal Feng Xu just to protect Qingzhi and her?

Even for her unauthorized actions tonight, which led to uncontrollable consequences, he had no intention of blaming her.

Is he really going to gamble on the entire Demon Alliance to protect these two people?

For some reason, thinking of this, Ting Yan felt her heart beating somewhat fast beneath her chest.

Her throat seemed blocked by something hot.

Feeling somewhat excited, yet inexplicably wary.

Her mind couldn’t help but darkly and sinisterly guess whether this person had some even more insidious and nasty plans.

Though anxious, she also felt a pathological excitement for stirring things up: "Play dead? What do you mean by asking me to play dead?"

Baili An’s fingers were covered with a layer of Blood Energy, stirring into the Evil Fog inside the purple cauldron.

The ominous black and red fog sensed the invasion of an external aura, bared fangs and claws, rampaging upwards.

Yet it was fiercely suppressed by the powerful Blood Energy emanating from Baili An.

He nonchalantly drew out a wisp of Evil Fog, letting it dance eerily between his fingers.

"I was fortunate to have learned about this Emperor from the mouth of a certain Enchanting Demon.

Though appearing stern and solemn on the surface, he is full of tenderness and affection for the women who move his heart.

Although he falls in love easily, as long as the time frame isn’t long, if a woman he fancies is treated unfairly, he would get angry."

Baili An lifted his eyes to Ting Yan, "Today, as Shen Qilang, since he was able to pick you out at a glance.

Before the night ended, he generously allowed you to those three, mostly because he saw the Immortal Energy within you, unwilling to expose his true identity of visiting the brothel.

If when he discovers you gruesomely dead in the room, especially under the evil techniques of these three immortals, what do you think... he would do?"

Qingzhi frowned and said, "But even so, that’s the Golden Immortal Feng Xu, would the Emperor Chenghuang be willing to challenge the Golden Immortal for a Banshee?"

Baili An casually replied, "No need to challenge, just plant a seed in his heart.

The Emperor Chenghuang loves women, but the Golden Immortal Feng Xu, to prolong his life, needs to continuously devour the essence of female immortals to sustain himself.

Consider this, how many times over are the missing female immortals in the Upper Pure Immortal Realm compared to our missing Demon Alliance women?

With the Emperor Chenghuang’s flirtatious and affectionate nature, can you be sure that none of those innocent, missing female immortals were his newfound love or old flame?"

This remark was like enlightenment for Ting Yan, opening her mind.

Baili An faintly smiled, "Today you are merely a fuse, a Banshee who moved his heart, yet not enough to challenge a Golden Immortal.

But those unknown female immortals behind him were enough to make him feel resentful."

Ting Yan was shocked: "I can’t tell that you look like a gentleman, but your thoughts are even more insidious than us foxes."

Baili An glanced at her and continued: "Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s divine power is mighty; to maintain his immortality and undiminished cultivation, he definitely demands a large quantity of female immortals.

This also means that if Golden Immortal Feng Xu lives, it will pose a significant threat to Emperor Chenghuang’s indulgence in beauties."

Baili An shook the bead in his hand, chuckling lightly: "After all, this Emperor is someone who doesn’t mind sacrificing lives for beauty."

Baili An raised his eyelids, looking at Ting Yan, who was already dumbfounded: "So, who do you think when the time comes... wants Golden Immortal Feng Xu dead more than us?"

...

...

The barrier broken by Qingzhi dispersed, and Baili An deliberately released the Blood Evil Qi from the evil cauldron. Instantly, Boundless Wind and Moon Tower was filled with overpowering evil energy, and resentment loomed.

Shen Qilang, while enjoying the beauty’s favor, suddenly felt the frightening evil energy coming from the room he had just left not long ago.

That room... was the fox demon courtesan’s room.

With a serious expression, as the atmosphere inside the house shifted, Shen Qilang disappeared and appeared in that dilapidated house, looking at the three bodies on the ground.

Gazing gloomily again, he looked towards the bed where a young man in a black robe was holding the dying fox demon courtesan lady, his face extremely heavy.

Seeing Shen Qilang’s appearance, the courtesan lady seemed to come back to life briefly; the death intent in her eyes suddenly became bright and fiery, and her hand reached weakly towards him.

Shen Qilang’s heart skipped heavily.

She was fine when he left earlier, looking lovely and pitiful.

But how could she have fallen into such a tormented state after being handed to those three people for just a short while?

Shen Qilang pitied and cherished her the most, and thinking that his negligence had led to such a tragic sight, his heart was filled with guilt.

He hurriedly flashed over, holding her soft, cold hand, speaking tenderly:

"Yan Ting lady! What’s happened to you?! Who has harmed you this way?!"

Ting Yan quickly immersed herself in the role, looking at him with profound yet desperate and beautiful sorrow, her voice hoarse and choking, sounding so weak and fragile like a flower about to wither.

"Shen... Shen sir, I... I have urgent matters to report. These three immortals, under the guise of questioning flowers, are actually harming women in the city to sustain their own immortality.

A little girl’s death like mine is insignificant, lost in the mud and dust of the brothel. It would indeed be a blessing to find release in death rather than laugh daily and survive.

However, these beasts act wantonly. From their occasional words.

It was discovered that Golden Immortal Feng Xu, masked in righteousness, acts against fate, exploiting numerous female immortals in the Upper Pure Immortal Realm to forcibly extend his lifespan.

Yan Ting, sullied and filthy, cheap as dust, died under the authority, and it was indeed a tribulation in my fate.

But heavenly fairy how pure and noble, never... cough cough ever should be defiled by such evil! Although I’m humble, I also know the meaning of righteousness!

Cough cough cough... Sir, you are a paragon of the current era, I hope... I hope you can risk your life to expose this villain’s evil acts! Don’t... don’t let those innocent pure fairies suffer unjustly!"

Gripping Shen Qilang’s hand tightly, nails deeply embedded in his flesh due to the dying, unwilling, worried obsession.

Every word spoken carried a strong bloodthirsty intent, as if enduring extreme pain to maintain spiritual consciousness awake.

Until she finished the last sentence, the flame in Ting Yan’s eyes suddenly extinguished, her head tilted, and she passed away.

"Intolerable!" Shen Qilang was furious and grievous extremely.

Unexpectedly, Golden Immortal Feng Xu was so bold, practicing such a vile and depraved technique as an illustrious immortal clan.

He was trembling with anger, thinking about the numerous cases of female immortals disappearing without a trace in the Upper Pure Immortal Realm over the centuries, yet endless indeed.

Naturally, many of the female immortals were among those he cherished joyfully.

Just he’s usually carefree, enjoys novelties, without much concern, now thinking, those fairy-like female immortals were all humiliated, falling into adversity.

Seeing Ting Yan’s tragic condition, feeling more remorse anguished deeply.

Thinking such a delicate, weak young lady, suffered such persecution becoming unrecognizable, yet doesn’t forget to care about other endangered female immortals.

Such righteousness, such compassion, such courage beautiful woman.

Yet due to his temporary negligence, failed to protect well, her life was forcibly taken by those three villains indeed.
