My second brother and his friends were still immersed in the tranquility of their closed-door training, and I had just walked out of that secluded space when I heard the news of the unusual movement in the South China Sea. It was like a hint of chill mixed in the spring breeze, which made me frown involuntarily. I hurriedly led a horse, its mane flying in the wind, as if it also felt my urgency, and galloped straight to the South China Sea.

"Hey, where is Yan'er? Why didn't she go with you?" There was some confusion and worry in my words, and my eyes shuttled back and forth between Yun Xiao and Lu Xuanxin, trying to find the answer.

Yun Xiao's face looked particularly solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun. The pair of eyes that usually always had a smile on their faces were now as deep as the sea, and it was difficult to see the bottom. Lu Xuanxin's face was also not looking good, as if there was an invisible cloud covering her heart, making her beauty carry a hint of imperceptible melancholy.

"We've been searching here for a long time, but there's still no trace of Yun Yan'er." Yun Xiao's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, revealing endless fatigue and anxiety, "She is either still wandering somewhere, or..." He didn't continue, but we all knew what he had left unsaid.

"Dad, we must speed up and search the surrounding camps carefully." Lu Xuanxin's voice was soft, but it revealed an unquestionable determination. In addition to worrying about Yun Yan'er, her eyes also hid deep concerns for Tian Ying, Ying, and Li Ma Ma. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed the seal on her waist, which was the bridge between her and Ying, and her only hope at the moment.

Lu Xuanxin closed her eyes, and the spiritual power in her body seemed to gather at this moment. She tried to feel the pulse of the seal, hoping to catch a trace of its breath. After a moment, her brows slightly frowned, as if she really felt something, but the feeling was too weak, like the most distant star in the night sky, twinkling, but out of reach.

"Ying, can you hear me?" An indescribable anxiety surged in Lu Xuanxin's heart. Although her voice was soft, it contained endless expectations.

After a long time, a weak and trembling voice came from the sea of ​​consciousness: "Miss..."

"Ying! Where are you now? Are you alone? Why is your voice so weak? Are you injured?" Lu Xuanxin's heart suddenly tightened, and a series of questions blurted out like a machine gun.

"Yes, miss, I was slightly injured. Madam, she...she was seriously injured and has fallen into a coma. I...I can't save her." Ying's voice was full of haste and panic, as if every word was squeezed out with all her strength.

"Ying, quickly tell me your exact location!" Lu Xuan's heart was burning. Nanny Li had been by her mother's side since she became pregnant. After so many years of living together day and night, she had already become an indispensable member of the family.

Ying was silent for a moment, as if trying to identify the surrounding environment. "Miss, I don't know where this is. I only know that I am buried under a pile of ruins. The ruins are huge and desolate, and there is deathly silence all around."

Lu Xuan's heart sank. Such a description undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the search. But she did not give up and continued to ask: "Ying, you are hiding underground. Is it dangerous outside?"

"Yes, miss, there are demons rampant outside. I wonder if they have left." Ying's voice became weaker, as if it would disappear at any time.

"Then you be careful and try to go out so that I can sense your location more accurately." Lu Xuanxin suddenly opened his eyes, with determination and resoluteness flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao and others gathered around and asked about the situation with concern. Lu Fengshan, Lu Murongzi and others had worries and uneasiness on their faces, and their eyes were fixed on Lu Xuanxin, waiting for her answer.

"Ying and Mammy are trapped under the rubble. Mammy is seriously injured. I must save them!" Lu Xuanxin's voice was firm and powerful, without the slightest hesitation.

"Do you know the location? Let's go together!" Gu Yunshang responded without hesitation, her eyes full of determination and courage.

After going through countless storms and tests, the feelings between them have long surpassed simple companionship. They are reluctant to separate again, fearing that turning around would be a farewell forever.

However, Lu Xuanxin also understood that not everyone was willing to embark on this unknown and dangerous road with her.

"Those who want to go can follow me, and those who don't want to go can stay here." Yun Xiao's voice was cold and resolute. She never needed to consider anyone's opinion when doing things.

"Where are Senior Wen and A'man? Where did they go?" Lu Xuanxin noticed that the figures of an old man and a young boy disappeared into the dense forest, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"I'll go find them." Mr. Jiang was an impatient man. Before he finished speaking, he rushed into the dense forest like an arrow.

Not long after, he walked out of the forest with Wen Lao and Ah Man. Wen Lao's smile was still gentle, while Ah Man looked excited, as if the experience just now was full of fun for them.

"Where did you two go?" Mr. Jiang asked unhappily, with a hint of blame in his tone.

Elder Wen just smiled and said nothing. In fact, they had just gone hunting, and they could not forget the meat roasted by Lu Xuanxin, and wanted to taste the unique delicacy again.

"Everyone, my friends are in danger and I must go to save them. Anyone who is willing to go with me, please follow." Lu Fengshan's voice was gentle but firm. He looked around, waiting for everyone's response.

Yun Xiao and the others were too lazy to say anything more and tacitly agreed to Lu Fengshan's proposal. However, everyone looked at each other, each with their own calculations in mind, and no one wanted to take risks for a few people they had never met.

"It's dark now. It's not safe to go out. Let's wait until daybreak." Someone whispered, with a hint of timidity in his voice.

"Yes, it's easy to be attacked by demons if you go out at night, so it's better to go tomorrow during the day." Everyone echoed, their hearts were filled with fear of the unknown and cherishment of life.

Lu Fengshan almost laughed out loud when he heard this. How could he wait to save someone? But he did not force anyone to follow him. He just watched everyone silently.

Lu Xuanxin didn't care at all. When she saw Elder Wen and Ah Man return, she immediately led her people to rush in the direction they sensed. Yuan Lie, Yuan Qingming and others followed without hesitation, and the people from the Holy Land, the Mu family, and Shi Yu followed closely behind.

Lu Xuanxin looked at Shi Yu curiously and asked, "Sister Shi, are you really from the Shi family of the True Spirit Continent? Why are you going with us?"

Shi Yu smiled and replied, "Yes, I feel more at ease following you." Her smile was pure and sincere, making people believe her words involuntarily.

Her straightforwardness made everyone look at her a few more times, but no one said anything more. Then, a few more people followed, and the remaining 400 people chose to stay on the grassland. They gathered together to take care of each other to avoid being caught by the demon.

"Girl, why are you doing this? You're trying so hard to save them, but they may not even appreciate it." Dongfang Mo said, shaking his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Lu Xuanxin smiled faintly and said, "It's just a coincidence, no big deal." Her words revealed a kind of detachment and indifference, as if she didn't care whether those people were grateful or not.

She was worried about Li Ma's injury, so she walked faster and faster. Along the way, the ground cracked into hideous cracks, and black fog emerged from the ground, filling the air, making people feel cold. Everyone's face became more and more solemn, not knowing how many unknown dangers were waiting for them ahead. However, they did not stop, because they knew that only by moving forward bravely could they save their trapped friends and protect the land they loved so much.

Along the way, Lu Xuanxin and her companions walked through the dilapidated streets and alleys, surrounded by a depressing and heavy atmosphere. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled weakly on the ruins, giving the ruins a layer of dim golden light. Their footsteps were hurried, and every step seemed to stir up a puff of fine dust, as if even the air was telling the sadness of this land.

Several times, they encountered panicked crowds, whose faces were filled with fear and despair, and whose eyes flashed with the desire to escape, as if there was an unspeakable terror chasing them. And behind these crowds, followed closely by vicious demons, whose bodies were twisted, faces were hideous, and eyes flashed with bloodthirsty madness. Whenever this happened, Lu Xuanxin and his men would rush forward without hesitation, their weapons flashing with cold light, and they would fight the demons with all their might, their figures drawing resolute arcs in the sunset.

"These demons are just like crazy. Not only are they extremely powerful, but they also seem to feel no pain. They are getting more and more difficult to deal with." Yun Xiao panted and said, with a bit of disbelief in his voice. He had just killed a few demons and his face was frighteningly gloomy, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. The demons now are completely different from the past. Although the demons in the past were also cruel, they at least retained a little humanity, felt pain, and would run away if they couldn't win. But the demons now have completely lost their minds and their strength has increased greatly. They seem to have no idea what death is and look like they don't care about their lives.

What made people feel even worse was that the blood of those killed by the demons disappeared as soon as it dripped onto the ground, and their bodies quickly turned into bones, as if all their vitality had been drained away by some force. The bodies of the demons turned into black mist and dissipated into the air in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace behind.

"It seems that the Demon Lord is about to come out, and we can't wait any longer." Gu Yunshang sighed, with a hint of helplessness and worry in her voice. In the past, the demons would use formations to absorb people's essence and blood, but now they just started killing people, as if they were making the final preparations for the Demon Lord's appearance.

"Go, get out of here!" Lu Xuanxin frowned and whispered. She could feel that Ying was in danger, and that subtle connection seemed to tell her that Ying was in extreme trouble. Her eyes became firm, and she rushed out quickly, like a flash of lightning breaking through the night sky.

Ying was in trouble. She and Nanny Li were hiding underground. To make it easier for Lu Xuanxin to find them, she quietly poked her head out to check. But she didn't expect the exit to be blocked by a pile of old furniture. Before she could get out, the fierce fighting outside scared her to death. She could only shrink at the exit, not daring to move, her heart filled with fear and helplessness.

Unfortunately, the furniture was eventually affected by the aftermath of the battle and flew out, exposing Ying's position. Ying hurriedly hid back, but the flying debris and black mist instantly covered her tracks. The exit was also blocked tightly, as if isolating her from the outside world.

However, the figure that flashed by just now had already allowed Lu Xuanxin to lock onto the location. Her eyes became sharp, and her figure shuttled through the ruins like a ghost, rushing towards Ying's location at full speed.

On the other side, Duanmu Wuji and a girl in a white dress were working together to fight a powerful demon. The two sides were evenly matched and the fight was difficult to decide. Wuji's purple robe was already in disarray, his long hair was disheveled, and his breath was a little hurried. There was a firm light in his eyes, as if he would not give up no matter how great the difficulties were.

Although the girl looked young, with a round face and a bit of childishness, her eyes were extremely firm. She hid behind Wuji, quickly formed seals with her hands, and shot ice cones at the demon like flying arrows. Her cultivation seemed to be only at the peak of the Spirit Emperor, but her control of ice spirit power was extremely exquisite, causing considerable damage to the demon and greatly relieving Wuji's pressure.

After the ice cones were released, the girl's face turned pale as paper. She quickly swallowed a pill and staggered back a few steps. Her inner elixir was already empty and powerless, but seeing that Wuji was also exhausted, she gritted her teeth and continued to seal, as if she was trying to use up her last bit of strength.
