“Silly girl,” Zixie laughed. His laughter was just as demonic as ever but it was filled with a sense of indulgence. “Helping you is equivalent to helping me. Don’t forget, the two of us have a life and death contract. Only by following you can my powers be further restored! Hence, helping you is also helping myself at the same time. There’s no need for you to feel burdened. You only need to remember that no matter what I do, I do it willingly! I will never regret it!”

Gu Ruoyun’s heart trembled. In her lifetime, it was her good fortune to have a husband like Qianbei Ye and a companion like Zixie!

She would sacrifice everything for these two.

“Little girl, remember this – only enter the last door in the Ancient Divine Pagoda when you have no other way out. The thing behind that door can help save your life once. If you go in there now, it will never be able to save you again in the future!”

Since Gu Ruoyun has broken through to the Ninth Transformation State, she could now unlock the last door in the Ancient Divine Pagoda.

However, Zixie had informed her that she should not enter the last door unless she was in danger. Only when she had was in peril could she use the thing behind the door in exchange for her survival!

“I understand. Zixie, go ahead. Based on your current power, you can definitely leave my side and not suffer the restrictions of our contract.”

Gu Ruoyun smiled and her voice was slightly melancholic.

“Alright.”

Once Zixie had spoken, a purple ray of light flew out from her body and turned into a phoenix. He spread his wings and soared into the sky, letting out a soft cry before disappearing into thin air.

Gu Ruoyun turned away and looked at the pitiful-looking little child next to her. “Let’s go, Xun’er. We’ll go and meet your maternal grandfather and grandmother now. They are certainly going to be overjoyed when they see you.”

Xiao Xun’er nodded obediently as he clutched Gu Ruoyun’s hand.

Gu Ruoyun’s earlier change in expression had indeed frightened him. Even now, he does not know if he had said something wrong and had angered his mother…

The Red Lotus Territory.

Two sides were striving to oppose each other.

If Gu Ruoyun was here, she would immediately recognize the green-robed woman amongst the Underworld’s troops as Murong Qian of the Murong family.

The Murong family was a member of the Four Great Protectors and Murong Qian was the pearl of the Murong family. Naturally, she was extremely spoiled. That was why she had pestered Qianbei Ye after meeting him and wanted to kill Gu Ruoyun.

“Murong Qian.” The Secret Order’s Order Master noticed Murong Qian amongst them and laughed icily before she exclaimed with disdain, “I never thought that the Murong family would betray the First City and join forces with the Underworld! Are you not ashamed of your decision?”

Murong Qian raised her head and puffed her chest before replying arrogantly, “So what if I join forces with the Underworld? The Master of the Underworld is my man! I will definitely stand on his side!”

Once she had said this, she turned to look at Grand Lord Hong Lian and his wife and jeered, “Where is that sl*t, Gu Ruoyun? What? Has she hidden away to cry after being cast aside by her man? Let me tell you this, Qianbei Ye is the Master of the Underworld! I have now been accepted by Qianbei Ye as his concubine. Gu Ruoyun has now been cast-off!”

Powerful energy exploded from Grand Lord Hong Lian’s being and flew towards Murong Qian with a bang. Before the people around her could react, this force hit Murong Qian and her body stumbled back as her expression became even more furious.
