The torches sputtered and popped as they burned. A couple disciples from each sect sent to guard San Chong Mountain appeared in the forest. Everyone gathered around. The torches were so numerous that it seemed like the dark sky was lightening.

Yan Hui followed the group of disciples she encountered to this area. She mingled into the ground, and used the person in front of her to block her from view; she also kept her head down. But from her position, she could clearly see what was happening.

Pu Fang was trapped by the crowd. Her eyes were red, and long fangs protruded from between her lips. Her sharp fingernails also had faint traces of bloodstains from scratches. Demon aura surged from her body, and her chest heaved with rapid breaths. She was like a trapped animal, eyes filled with anger and despair.

From the looks of it, Pu Fang was making her last stand. Yan Hui gritted her teeth. Aside from inwardly cursing Pu Fang for being so willful, there was nothing else Yan Hui could blame her for.

In front of Pu Fang stood Ling Fei, who was wearing a veiled hat. The veil obscured her entire face. However, occasionally the breeze would lift the gauzy fabric. Yan Hui could clearly see the wounds left behind by the air blades Tian Yao used back in the inn. The wounds had scabbed over, and they looked like a mesh grid covering her entire face. It made Ling Fei look dark and frightening.

Perhaps it really was because the wounds haven't healed that Ling Fei lost some of her lofty, ice-cold arrogance. She seemed more testy and harsh when she spoke:

"Before I came to San Chong Mountain, Zhenren Su Ying summoned me specifically to tell me to keep an eye out for any demons that plan to destroy the sky-splitting seal."

When Yan Hui heard those words, she became apprehensive. She couldn't tell if Su Ying told her younger sister what happened all those years ago, but it was true that she was wary of Tian Yao. Zhenren Su Ying wasn't as calm and collected as Tian Yao thought. She was panicked about Tian Yao's return for vengeance. Otherwise, why else would she summon Ling Fei?

"I didn't think that any demon would be suicidal enough to rush at the sky-splitting seal. Who would've though, tonight there would actually be one."

From what was being said, was the sky-splitting seal somewhere in the vicinity..........

"Speak, what is the purpose of the demon clans to find the sky-splitting seal?"

Yan Hui thought those words were so stupid for someone, who was in the same generation as the shifus in Chen Xing Mountain, to ask.

The demon clans and the xian sects were about to go to war. Aside from beating up xian cultivators, what other reason would the demon clan send someone to find the sky-splitting spell except to be a little more happier when beating up the xian cultivators?
