Back to Square One

No matter how many times he was asked, Lu Zheng's answer remained the same. However, when he saw Yunzhi's pitiful appearance, he found himself unable to speak.

His hesitant demeanor completely infuriated Yunzhi.

She swiftly approached, her speed astonishing, and her demonic aura emanating.

Nanli drew out the Xuanyue Sword and thrust it forward, but Yunzhi effortlessly blocked it with one hand.

Nanli's strength was not enough to contend with Yunzhi, and she was forced to retreat several steps.

Upon closer inspection, Yunzhi had already captured Lu Yanyan, gripping her by the neck.

Her sharp nails nearly embedded themselves in Lu Yanyan's flesh.

Lu Yanyan had faced life and death situations before, but this was the first time she had been choked by a demon.

She was instantly terrified, her voice choked, "Nanli! Brother!"

At this moment, Prime Minister Lu and the others arrived upon hearing the news.
