Lan Yue didn’t exchange many words with Mu Ruyue, but instead went directly to the Lord’s side, smiling while conversing. Throughout, she never once glanced in Feng Jingtian’s direction...

"It’s about time."

The Lord restrained his voice, his gaze sweeping over everyone, a faint arc hanging at the corner of his lips: "It’s time for us to battle the Demon Beasts. Whoever contributes the most in the fight, my Lord Mansion is willing to owe a favor..."

While speaking, his eyes drift toward Feng Jingtian.

Clearly, among all these people, he’s most impressed by this man.

But, the man’s attitude earlier left him displeased, hence whether to rely on him more heavily will depend on his forthcoming performance...

Feng Jingtian held his hands behind his back as the evening breeze brushed by, lightly lifting his red robe, his exquisitely beautiful face darkened, seemingly oblivious to the Lord’s attention...

The Lord’s eyes flickered briefly, then he commanded coldly: "Everyone, listen to my orders now. Set out to the battlefield immediately!"

"Yes!"

At once, rousing voices echoed across the entire square, lingering for a long time...

That night.

The moonlight was dim, as if shrouded by clouds, making the battlefield appear exceedingly somber...

Not far from the battlefield, the roars of Demon Beasts sounded one after another, soon followed by countless Demon Beasts stampeding from afar, raising clouds of dust...

Watching the surging Demon Beasts, everyone drew their weapons, their eyes filled with vigilance.

"Woman."

Feng Jingtian raised an eyebrow, turning to look at Mu Ruyue beside him, a seductive curve forming at his lips: "Let’s see who can kill more?"

Mu Ruyue curved her lips and smiled: "Alright..."

Swish!

Instantly, everyone charged into the herd of Demon Beasts, wielding their weapons against them.

Suddenly, blood splattered out, staining the entire ground red...

Slaughter sliced through the dark night, a strong smell of blood spread, filling the entire battlefield.

Everyone was caught in the frenzy of killing, while the people from the Lord Mansion stood by watching...

Lan Yue slightly squinted her eyes, her gaze focusing on the two in the battlefield.

Red robe and white garment intertwined in the evening breeze.

The two stood back to back, their black hair lightly swaying and intertwining in the air, coldly watching the charging Demon Beasts...

"Mu Ruyue..."

She gently murmured the name, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, only to vanish quickly, her lips curling into a cold smile.

Yet, at this moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the battlefield, so no one noticed her expression...

"No matter what, this time, I won’t let you leave alive!"

Only her death can cleanse the hatred from back then!

And this woman shouldn’t exist in this world in the first place...

"Feng Jingtian, do you feel something strange?"

Mu Ruyue struck down the head of a Sword-toothed Tiger with a sword, her voice carrying a hint of doubt: "I feel that these Demon Beasts aren’t attacking humans out of mere provocation. It’s more like someone is controlling them from behind, otherwise, they wouldn’t attack so orderly..."

Feng Jingtian’s gaze darkened, he said: "I’ve been here for several years now, and I’ve felt that too. But, several people from the City Lord Mansion went to investigate, yet couldn’t find anything happening in the Demon Beast Forest..."

Hearing this, Mu Ruyue fell silent, her gaze shifting to a place not far away, a glint flickering in her eyes...
