Chapter 32 Demon Sacrifice: The Hall of Illusory Demons

Yun Muhan tilted his head slightly, his deep eyes reflecting the starlight, his thoughts seemingly drifting away with the stars.

Ye Yunxi leaned gently on Yun Muhan's shoulder. Her beautiful face looked especially soft and moving under the starlight, as if she were a fairy descending to earth, pure and ethereal.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the whole world consisted only of the two of them and the mysterious, enchanting starry sky. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a touch of the coolness unique to the night, and ruffled their hair and the hem of their clothes.

However, they were completely unaware of this, still immersed in the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

————At the summit of the snow-capped mountain————

Two figures lay on the snow, gazing at the starry sky; they were none other than Fan Chen and Xue Yu.

"Why hasn't Master returned yet? Could something have happened to him?" Xueyu asked anxiously.

"No, absolutely no accidents will happen. At most, Yun Muhan is just too proud and unwilling to associate with us," Fan Chen said firmly.

"But, given Master's personality! Is it really safe that something unexpected might happen?" Xueyu asked doubtfully.

"Absolutely not. By the way, Xueyu, you are clearly the seventh princess of Illusion Demon City, so why have I never seen you return to Illusion Demon City?" Fan Chen quickly changed the subject.

"That's a long story!" A hint of sadness flashed in Xueyu's eyes.

"Then tell me slowly, your brother Fanchen will stand up for you."

"I am the seventh princess of the Illusion Demon Clan. Have you ever seen or heard of the eldest, second, and fourth princesses, Brother Fanchen?"

"No……"

"The Ice Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom are fundamentally balanced in their differences, but the difference between the Illusion Demon and the Sunset Kingdom is not balanced. The main reason is... the Demon Emperor."

Xueyu continued, "In our Illusionary Demon City, there is a technique called 'Demon Sacrifice,' which involves sacrificing demons of the same race and origin to enhance one's own power. My eldest and second sisters have already been sacrificed, and as for my fourth sister... who covered my escape, she's probably already..."

"That demon emperor is unworthy of being a father. I'm going to kill him right now." Fan Chen picked up the gourd, determined to rush towards the Illusion Demon Hall. Xue Yu quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Forget it, isn't it fine as it is now?"

"But I can't stand this! How can a father sacrifice his own child? How can there be such a person in the world?" Fan Chen was extremely angry.

"Okay, okay, not now, at least not now." Xueyu looked up at the sky and repeated, "Not now, at least not now."

————The Trial of the Wolf God————

The sky slowly began to brighten...

Ye Yunxi leaned against Yun Muhan and slept soundly, while Yun Muhan leaned against the wall, clearly not having slept comfortably last night.

Yun Muhan was awakened by a bird's chirp. Just as he was about to shoo it away, Ye Yunxi slowly opened her eyes, gently extended her slender hand, and the little bird obediently landed on Ye Yunxi's outstretched hand.

"Brother Mu Han, look, this little bird is so cute!" Ye Yunxi said with eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes, yes, yes, Yunxi is the best." Yun Muhan said, patting Ye Yunxi's head with eyes full of affection.

"Brother Mu Han praised Yunxi again, Yunxi is so happy," Ye Yunxi said in agreement.

"Alright, Yunxi, go try controlling your spiritual power and broaden your brother Muhan's horizons."

Yun Muhan: Her mind is so strange, but I can't see anything wrong with it. What could be the reason? Fortunately, it's not a big problem.

Ye Yunxi moved her hands, her body radiating layers of spiritual light, dazzling like brilliant stars. Her gaze was fixed firmly on Yun Muhan before her, continuously releasing her powerful spiritual energy.

As she moved, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred by this immense power, forming visible fluctuations of spiritual energy that surged toward Yun Muhan.

Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Ye Yunxi's forehead, but she showed no sign of stopping and continued to exert herself to the fullest, as if she wanted to show Yun Muhan her profound strength and indomitable will in this way.

Ye Yunxi gritted her teeth and struggled with all her might, but after a short while, she felt as if all the energy had been drained from her body, and she could no longer hold on. Finally, she collapsed from exhaustion. Yun Muhan quickly stepped in front of her and caught her.

However, at this heartbreaking moment, Yun Muhan not only showed no reprimand, but instead praised Ye Yunxi in a gentle yet firm voice: "Yunxi, you have done a great job!" His eyes were full of praise and encouragement, as if he could see the indomitable strength deep in Ye Yunxi's heart through her tired body.

"Don't give up, keep going! I believe you can overcome the difficulties you're facing!" Yun Muhan's words were like a spring breeze, warming Ye Yunxi's heart and rekindling her hope in her previously somewhat dejected mood.

"I can do it, I definitely can!" Ye Yunxi gritted her teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, but she still stubbornly held on to her swaying body.

At this moment, she felt as if every muscle in her body had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and she was extremely sore. However, the firm belief in her heart supported her and prevented her from giving up easily.
