"That is?"
But soon, Chu Feng's expression changed dramatically as he spotted a figure.
That person was in a wretched state, bound by ropes and hanging in midair.
He was extremely weak, on the verge of death, yet somehow still clinging to a single breath.
Chu Feng recognized him. This was Lord Yunliang, the one who had helped Chu Feng smuggle Yaoyao out of here back then.
Chu Feng had assumed Lord Yunliang was surely dead, but to his surprise, he was still alive.
Though alive, it was clear that Lord Yunliang had endured cruel torture.
"My lord, could you release Lord Yunliang?"
Chu Feng didn't rush in blindly to rescue him. Instead, he turned his gaze to the Asura King.
He understood that the punishment of Lord Yunliang was the Asura King's doing.
So to save Lord Yunliang, he needed the Asura King's consent.
"Back then, he colluded with you to steal my Mingyue."
"The only reason I'm not killing you today is entirely for Mingyue's sake."
"But this Yunliang, as a member of my Asura Spirit Army, colluded with outsiders and ruined our clan's great affair. This is an unforgivable crime of treason."
Even now, the Asura King's hatred had not diminished when he spoke of that day, making it clear he had no intention of sparing Lord Yunliang.
"Listen to me, Daddy, just let the old man go."
But just then, Yaoyao spoke up.
"Mingyue, you—?"
The Asura King looked at Yaoyao, his gaze carrying a hint of grievance.
"What 'you' what? Can't you understand words?"
"And call me Yaoyao. I'm not called Mingyue."
Yaoyao shouted at him.
Despite how well-behaved she was around Chu Feng, she had never once shown a kind expression to this powerful Asura King.
Yet the Asura King was completely helpless when it came to Yaoyao.
Reluctantly, he waved his large sleeve, freeing Lord Yunliang from his bonds in midair.
Chu Feng immediately soared into the air and caught Lord Yunliang in his arms.
Then Chu Feng began healing Lord Yunliang's injuries right away.
The more he healed, the more Chu Feng's heart ached.
He could sense that Lord Yunliang's cultivation had been destroyed. He was now essentially a cripple.
But Chu Feng clearly remembered that Lord Yunliang had been incredibly powerful before.
Under Chu Feng's treatment, Lord Yunliang gradually regained consciousness.
"Chu... Chu Feng, how... how are you here?"
"Am... am I dreaming?"
Lord Yunliang had clearly been tortured for so long that his mind was in disarray. Seeing Chu Feng, he couldn't believe it was real.
"Lord Yunliang, this isn't a dream. I've returned, and I've brought your princess back. You can all leave this place now."
Chu Feng said.
"What?"
"You brought her back?"
"Have you lost your mind?!"
Hearing this, the weakened Lord Yunliang suddenly found strength, grabbing Chu Feng by the collar.
"Stinky old man, let go of my daddy!"
Seeing this, Yaoyao rushed to Chu Feng's side and scolded Lord Yunliang.
Lord Yunliang then began to scrutinize Yaoyao.
After a long look, his eyes brimmed with tears — tears filled with remorse and self-blame.
"Chu Feng, why have you betrayed me? Why have you betrayed me?"
"You have destroyed the loyalty of our Asura Spirit Army."
"Destroyed the loyalty of our Asura Army!!!"
Lord Yunliang wept bitterly, overcome with grief.
"Lord Yunliang, why do you say this?"
Chu Feng sensed something was wrong. He had never understood why Lord Yunliang had helped the Black Fiend Demon back then.
But now, hearing Lord Yunliang's words, he felt even more that something was amiss.
Clearly, Lord Yunliang's betrayal of the Asura evil spirits had been done for a reason.
Mm— But suddenly, Lord Yunliang's body slumped as he fell unconscious — perhaps from physical weakness, or perhaps from an external force.
So Chu Feng instinctively looked toward the Asura King.
"This man is a traitor to our clan. You need not listen to his words."
After saying this, the Asura King turned to look behind him.
Behind him, millions of Asura evil spirits had already gathered.
Every single one of them was incomparably powerful.
