Hell Emperor.

Chapter 252 Xia Wei-Fragile
The Chi Demon King, which was dozens of feet long, fell straight down like a collapsing mountain. The earth shook and the mountains trembled, and a cloud of dust filled the sky.

When the dust settled, the Chi Demon King climbed out of the small pit created by his fall to the ground. There was a fierce light in his dragon eyes. He opened his bloody mouth and let out a resentful growl from his throat.

Its cold gaze swept over everyone around it, searching for the mastermind behind its fall.

That irresistible force made it feel frightened. Such a powerful force was far beyond the control of any member of the Yellow Dragon Army in its memory, and only the one who gave it the power of the dragon could control this great power.

In the crowd, Ye Jie stood behind Ren Changhong, his hands hidden in his wide sleeves, barely noticeable as he clenched his fists.

The power of the Dragon Catching Hand can restrain real dragons, so it is quite useful against the Chi Demon King who has transformed into a dragon.

Seeing that Meng Junyao had already flown away, Ye Jie felt relieved. He just hoped that she could reunite with other family members smoothly and that nothing unexpected happened.

Beside Ye Jie, Ren Changhong raised his lips, with a fierce light in his eyes: "That young dragon can't run far. She will guide us to find my evil disciple."

Ye Jie was stunned, and looked up at the sky. Seeing that Meng Junyao had disappeared without a trace, he was confused: "But, the young dragon is clearly gone, how can it guide us?"

Ren Changhong sneered: "Do you think I am as scared as you and will just stand there stupidly? As early as when I realized that the young dragon wanted to escape, I planted a blood mark on her. No matter where she escapes, the blood mark will guide me to find her. She can't escape from my palm!"

"Blood mark?" Ye Jie was surprised. He remembered that it was one of the abilities of the Blood Demon Sutra. Ren Changhong, as the best ghost messenger in the Demon Palace, had obviously practiced this unique method.

With the blood mark indicating the direction, it also means that Meng Junyao will take Ye Jie and the other two to where the rest of the family is.

When Ye Jie thought about the imminent opportunity to reunite with his family, he felt a pang of melancholy in his heart.

Although he had dreamed of reuniting with his family one day since the first day of his resurrection, when this opportunity really came to him, he felt mixed emotions.

The six-sided stitched pages were like a double-edged sword. While helping him to grow in strength by leaps and bounds, they also laid the seeds of endless disasters, some of which even involved the secrets of the Emperor of the Underworld.

People who know too many secrets will never have a good ending. Once the secret of the six-sided stitching page is exposed, it will not only be Ye Jie who will be in danger, but also his family members around him, who will be implicated and may suffer a disaster.

Moreover, under the control of the Shura Mask and the Stargazing Palace, it was a pipe dream to escape from the Demon Palace and regain freedom. Once you become a Shura, it would be difficult to escape.

Countless complicated emotions intertwined in Ye Jie's heart. He was struggling in his heart. He wanted to run to his family and feel the warmth of happiness again, but layers of concerns were suppressed in his heart, constantly hurting his heart.

"Are you scared silly? While that Chi monster hasn't noticed us and its attention is all distracted by the people here, let's quickly catch up!"

Ren Changhong's angry rebuke brought Ye Jie's thoughts back to reality.

Looking around, he saw Zhang Long unfolding his Dharma body and fighting with the Chi Demon King. The aftermath of the battle alone caused the valley to shake. No one had time to care about the situation here. It was the best time to escape.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ren Changhong took out the shrinking stone, and he and Ye Jie disappeared together.

…………

In the village outside Wanglong Peak, the streets that were once bustling with people are now dead silent. Houses have collapsed, the ground has cracked, and the sounds of children playing are no longer there. If you listen carefully, all you can hear on the wind are wailing and crying.

Suddenly, sharp footsteps were heard and a slender and petite figure rushed in like a storm and pulled out a young man hiding in the half-hidden ruins of a house.

She grabbed the boy's collar and lifted him up, with his feet a foot off the ground. The boy's face was covered with tears and he was frightened and at a loss.

"Where are Zhang Long's cronies and his family?" she asked sharply, with a frightening purple light flashing in her eyes.

"I don't know..." The boy was already frightened. All the people in the village died at the hands of this purple-eyed monster. No one could defeat her. The boy begged in a trembling voice, "I don't know anything. Don't kill me..."

"Don't know? Then go to hell!"

She bared her teeth fiercely and let out an angry roar from her throat. Two rays of scorching purple light that had shrunk to the extreme shot out from her pupils like swords piercing through the stars, passing through the boy's eyes and piercing his head, creating two clear and unobstructed scorching holes.

Behind Xia Wei, Li Fei'e pinched her nose and ran over quietly.

Even though she used the Liufeng Huixue step, the surroundings were in a mess with blood all over the ground. The soles of Li Fei'e's boots were still stained with blood, which made her, who loved cleanliness, feel a little uncomfortable.

Coming to Xia Wei's side, Li Fei'e asked kindly, "Sister Xia Wei, have you found out the whereabouts of Zhang Long's family?"

Xia Wei took a deep breath and bit her lip hard. She waited until the two braids on the back of her head had calmed down before she spoke:
"The people here don't know anything. We are just wasting time. Listen, we have to speed up. If we delay, Meng Junyao may be in danger! We have to kill more and more people to scare the leader here!"

Li Fei'e's mouth twitched, and she always felt that some words should be said but not said. Xia Wei was now completely out of control. Her family was captured, which made her crazy. She had lost all her rationality. In order to rescue her captured family, she would do anything. Unfortunately, no one could persuade her. She was so paranoid that no one could help her.

Looking up, he saw corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river in the quiet village. Li Fei'e sighed and felt uncomfortable.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and suggested to Xia Wei, "Sister Xia Wei, in my opinion, the most important thing now is to find and capture Zhang Long's family. Only in this way can we exchange for the captured Meng Junyao."

Xia Wei nodded vigorously: "You're right, I thought so too! But the people here don't know anything at all. Even if I kill them all, they won't reveal any useful information."

At the end of her speech, Xia Wei was furious. She raised her foot and kicked the corpse below with great force, kicking the corpse dozens of feet away and crashing it into the ruins of the collapsed house.

Li Fei'e quickly suggested: "I have an idea. Since we are looking for someone, why not let Sister He, who is the best at finding people, come? If we let her search, she will be able to find the whereabouts of Zhang Long's family in no time."

"You're right... Sister Crane is the best at this kind of thing!"

Hearing this, Xia Wei's eyes lit up. That was indeed a good idea, much better than running around everywhere now.

Thinking of this, Xia Wei reached into her arms and took out the scroll of Qionglou. As a stream of light appeared on the surface of the scroll, Nan Linghe's figure walked out of it.

"Sister He, please help me find Zhang Long's family." Xia Wei held her hand and begged respectfully. However, this time, Nan Linghe did not respond. She looked at Xia Wei, her lips tightly pursed, and some inexplicable emotions appeared in her eyes.

Seeing her appearance, Xia Wei was a little surprised: "Sister He, what's wrong? Have you been wronged? Tell me, I will help you vent your anger."

Nan Linghe shook her head, her face full of loss and helplessness. Her eyes, which used to be bright, were now filled with gloom. She said:

"Sister Xia Wei, when I was in the Qionglou scroll, I could observe what was happening in the outside world. Why did you do that? Why did you kill those innocent people?"

Xia Wei puffed up her lips, opened her hands and said, "Of course it's to force the enemy to surrender, so as to rescue Meng Junyao. Do you want me to watch Meng Junyao die without saving her? In order to save my family, I am willing to do anything, anything!"

Nan Linghe's eyes were dim, she felt that Xia Wei had become so strange, no longer the lovely sister in her memory. She spoke in a trembling voice, with a few imperceptible sobs in her tone: "Sister Xia Wei, you have changed..."

Xia Wei raised her head, a hint of stubbornness on her pretty face: "I haven't changed, I have always been this person!"

Nan Linghe just shook his head and muttered softly: "Since... since Brother Jie passed away, you have changed. You have become full of resentment, you have become hostile to everyone, you have become so strange, Sister Xia Wei... That is not the real you, that is not who you are. If it was you before, you would never do such a thing..."

Nan Linghe's words made Xia Wei's pupils shrink. She subconsciously took two steps back and couldn't steady herself for a long time.

With Xia Wei's current state of mind, even if the ground collapsed, her steps would still be steady, and her body would definitely not shake. However, she staggered and almost fell to the ground. This could only mean that deep in her heart, a huge storm had already begun to stir.

Shen Qingge also looked over and sighed, "As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Xia Wei, you alone cannot realize what changes have taken place in you, but in the eyes of others around you, those changes are crystal clear."

"Nonsense! How could I change? I have always been like this!" Xia Wei shook her head repeatedly, shrilly denying that she had changed, and firmly believed that she was still the same as before.

Nan Linghe gently held her hand and said, "Sister Xia Wei, I'm so worried about you. I miss the happy times we had together. Even if Brother Jie is gone, you still have our family. You don't have to be so... angry."

Xia Wei lowered her head and was silent for a long while. Suddenly, she shook off Nan Linghe's hand. When she slowly raised her head, her expression made everyone tremble.

But Xia Wei's teeth were clenched tightly, her pretty facial features were twisted into a ferocious shape, but her eyes were filled with tears, as if there was a fire burning in them.

Ever since Ye Jie's soul passed away, a touch of fragility and sadness appeared in the depths of Xia Wei's iron-hard heart. She woke up from her sleep countless times with some tear marks on her pretty face. Whenever she thought of her master, she would be in so much pain that she could not control herself.

Xia Wei is not the kind of girl who would cry out loud and wait for her family to comfort her. She hides her pain and sorrow deep in her heart. She responds to her unknown fragility and struggle with the toughest attitude, and what is reflected externally is the raging rage that wants to ignite the sky.

Although Xia Wei didn't say anything, her family, who always cared about her, still noticed her changes from her actions. However, Xia Wei herself refused to admit it.

"Since you don't want to rescue Meng Junyao, let me do it alone! Even if I'm alone, I have to rescue her!"

After saying that, Xia Wei turned away, ignored everyone, and left without looking back: "Don't follow me, I'll go save her myself!"

Xia Wei used her body skills to quickly disappear from everyone's sight. The people who stayed there could only look at each other in bewilderment.

"Sister Xia Wei, wait for me!" Li Fei'e waved at her and was about to leave with Xia Wei, but was stopped by Shen Qingge.

Shen Qingge sighed. Even she couldn't take care of Xia Wei at all. "Let her calm down alone. If something happens to Meng Junyao, with Xia Wei's temper, I'm afraid she will kill everyone around Wanglong Peak to bury her with her. It's really..."

Li Fei'e lowered his head in disappointment. After a moment, he looked at Nan Linghe: "Even if Xia Wei is gone, we should still follow the original plan and find Zhang Long's family. Sister He, can you help us rescue Meng Junyao?"

Nan Linghe nodded vigorously. After all, Meng Junyao was also a member of the family. How could she remain indifferent?

Nan Linghe closed her eyes and turned around in circles. When the world was spinning around and she saw stars and didn't know which way was which, she raised a finger and pointed casually: "Maybe there will be something to be gained over there..."

Just as he finished speaking, a silver-white figure suddenly fell from the sky, landing directly in front of Nan Linghe's finger, splashing up a cloud of dust.

When the dust cleared, the silver-white figure finally revealed its full appearance. A young dragon head slowly raised up, and the dragon's pupils showed the relief of surviving the disaster and the joy of reunion. That figure was Meng Junyao, who everyone had painstakingly rescued.

Li Fei'e: "..."

Shen Qingge: "..."

Seeing Meng Junyao appear in this way, everyone's jaws almost dropped. They never thought that Nan Linghe could find Meng Junyao just by pointing.

"Wait a minute... Am I dreaming? Or is it that Sister He's talent is too strong?" Seeing Meng Junyao recovered, Li Fei'e stared at Nan Linghe with an expression of disbelief. It took him a long time to accept the current situation.

"Ouch... I was almost eaten..."

After reuniting with everyone, Meng Junyao looked aggrieved. She kept pestering everyone and acting coquettishly to vent the fear that had accumulated in her heart.

Only after everyone had gently stroked her silver-white dragon scales and was satisfied did Meng Junyao blink and suddenly realize that someone was missing: "Where's Sister Xia Wei? Where did she go?"

"She went to rescue you." Shen Qingge looked helpless. She had never expected that Meng Junyao would come back as soon as Xia Wei left. "By the way, how did you get out?"

Meng Junyao explained: "Just now, I..."

"I found you, Xiao Qingge."

Unfortunately, before Meng Junyao could finish her words, she was interrupted by a cold voice coming from afar.

Hearing this voice, Shen Qingge's face changed drastically, as if struck by lightning.
