Just as she opened her eyes, a familiar face appeared within her gaze. Dressed in blood red robes like the devil, the red eyes on his incomparably beautiful face stared innocently back at her. However, once she realized what the man was doing, Gu Ruoyun's face darkened. She raised her leg and kicked him fiercely in the stomach.

"Qianbei Ye, what were you doing?"

Peng!

The young girl kicked Qianbei Ye away and his expression full of grief, remarkably like a bullied little wife.

"You nearly exploded and died, I was only helping you."

Gu Ruoyun stared blankly at him, she had just remembered her unfavorable situation a while ago.

Actually, the reason why she had done that was not because she did not care for her own safety. If she were to die, everyone here would have died with her! She boldly swallowed the holy spirit stone because she knew what she was doing. As long as her life was in danger, Zixie will awaken from his slumber and with Zixie's help, she would certainly be able to digest the power from the holy spirit stone...

But what she did not expect was for Qianbei Ye to make an appearance instead.

"Xiao Ye, I'm sorry. I've misunderstood you," Gu Ruoyun looked at the man's pitiful expression and felt slightly guilty. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, "That's right, why are you here?"

No one can enter Heaven City without a token. How did Qianbei Ye get in?

Just as she spoke, Qianbei Ye's expression grew even more hurtful, "You've been gone for so many months so I thought of coming here to look for you. Xiao Yun, do you not want me anymore? Was that why you had left me all alone in Azure Dragon Country?"

"Xiao Ye," Gu Ruoyun's heart softened, "It's just that I had some issues that I've yet to solve. By the way, how did you manage to enter Heaven City? Why did the guards let you in?"

Qianbei Ye blushed and lowered his head. He no longer had the courage to look at Gu Ruoyun in the eye and his voice was as weak as a mosquito's, "They refused to let me in so I knocked them out and forced my way in."

Gu Ruoyun's expression immediately turned black as she thought: they stopped him from entering so he'd knocked them out? That's just like Qianbei Ye.

But when she thought of how much trouble he'd caused, she took a deep breath and spoke to Master Xia in an awkward manner, "Master Xia, you see..."

"Hehe, it's fine, it's fine. Seeing as he's your friend, little Gu girl, it's not really a big issue."

But most important of all, this man was extremely powerful!

So powerful that even Master Xia could not sense his rank...

Qianbei Ye looked cautiously at Gu Ruoyun. Once he noticed that she was no longer angry, he sighed in relief. Then, his blood-red eyes slowly turned towards the people from the Immortal Realm. He could not forget about Gu Ruoyun's horrifying state just moments ago. Hence, these people must die!

"What were you trying to do?"

The white-robed elder stared into the man's blood-red eyes. He immediately felt his heart clench as though a hand had wrapped itself around it and was squeezing it tightly. He found it very hard to breathe.

"I'm from the Immortal Realm, if you want to raise your hand against us, you will be an enemy of the entire mainland, a demon in the hearts of the people!"

"A demon?"

Qianbei Ye's cold and gloomy eyes swept across the white-robed elder's face. Then, slowly, the aura from within his body began to stir and a violent wind started to rise, causing the dead leaves to fall from the trees. His exceedingly beautiful face was full of a deadly murderous intent. His red lips seemed to thirst for blood.

In that instant, the man looked as if he had just emerged from the gates of hell with his silver-hair, blood-red robes, and an intimidating aura. Even the white-robed elder, who was a high-level Martial Emperor, stared at him in terror.
