After Duan Shu Shu left, it was easier to kill the critters and Hybrid Beasts without Duan Shu Shu bothering them, half an hour later they managed to kill all the dark creatures.
Ming Yue Yin then cast her gaze to her surroundings as she was watched so much black dust blown away by the wind, indicating how many people had died and they all died just like that without leaving any trace as if their whole existence had disappeared without leaving a trace. Ming Yue Yin's heart tightened with sudden sadness for those who gave up everything just to become stronger.
This scene will forever be etched in the minds of everyone present today as they witness how power can corrupt people and remind them not to become one.
"Yue Yin" Yuan Shao gently touched her shoulder.
"I wonder, who was the person Duan Shu Shu loved that she sacrificed to become a Lesser-Demon? Lory said to become a Lesser-Demon, one must sacrifice the thing they love the most" Yue Yin bit her lip, her face tense with complicated emotions only now did she understand why Lory always made such an expression after she killed all those dark creatures because she knew that death was not the end for them, alas what awaited them was eternal damnation and that the price they had to pay, what Lory has to pay.
Even though he didn't like Duan Shu Shu, Lao Min Na, or any of them, however, once she found out about what awaited them after they died, she couldn't help but feel sorry for them at the same time she was also afraid for what happened to Lory.
"Let's find Lory!" Ming Yue Yin's voice filled with urgency.
Li Mo Zhen and Yuan Shao nod their head, they left everything to Fang Yu and Fang Xia before they take a long leaped to find Lory and Zhao Li Xin.

<strong>__a Few hours before__</strong>
Somewhere in the sky, Lan Hua rode a Bing Fang beast, it was a beast that look like a crane only much bigger while beside her there were Jin Hua, Bei Li Yan and Jin Hao riding their own flying beast, they flew at breakneck speed using the most powerful beast without taking a break because they knew they have to join their master as soon as possible.
It was all because of everything Jin Kai had said to them during their fight that made them feel restless, they were afraid of what Lazarus was aiming for by building an army of monsters, to whom Lazarus was aiming for this monster army, could be their world or perhaps Lazarus had a far more sinister goal that they can imagine?
They also can't wait to hear Lory's conclusion because no one knows about Lazarus more than her and she is also the only human who managed to escape from Lazarus' clutches even though it's not entirely, nevertheless there be no better insight they could receive than the one from Lory.
It wasn't long before they finally reached Heaven's Gate territory however the protective array that used to protect the whole Heaven's Gate sect had disappeared, it seemed that Wu San Bo had successfully carried out his mission, although Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan never doubted Wu San Bo's abilities, it was still not an easy task but he managed to fulfill it and in a relatively short time.
"He really did it!" Bei Li Yan exclaimed excitedly at Jin Hao who was flying beside him.
Jin Hao didn't bother to glance at Bei Li Yan he simply snorted as he said, "It was to be expected, right!" Even though he sounded indifferent but one could hear the admiration in his voice, it was clear he was praising Wu San Bo indirectly. Jin Hao's comment caused Bei Li Yan to roll his eyes while Jin Hua and Lan Hua held back their smiles.
"Master, I beg for permission to find the 'muscle head' King" Lan Hua suddenly said.
Bei Li Yan knew the one that Lan Hua mentioned was Jiang Jin Wei, it was no secret that Jiang Jin Wei and Lan Hua had some kind of tug-of-war relationship that happened for a long time but it wasn't Jiang Jin Wei's fault as the one who makes things complicated was Lan Hua who was was hesitant due to her past, still, Lan Hua never stopped to care for Jiang Jin Wei.
"You don't have to worry about him, you know," even though Bei Li Yan sounds a bit cold but Lan Hua knew he was only stating the fact of how much he trusted Jiang Jin Wei in another way Bei Li Yan's hand no doubt with Jiang Jin Wei's ability.
Lan Hua giggled her eyes curved into a beautiful crescent "I know master, this is only for my own satisfaction~"
Bei Li Yan clicked his tongue as he knew it was useless to talk with her, Bei Li Yan then lightly waved his hand "Whatever, just go then!" he shooed Lan Hua away.
Lan Hua grinned widely then cupped her fists respectfully, "Thank you, master, by the way, don't forget you must take care of Miss Jin Hua when I'm not around!" Lan Hua then sent Bei Li Yan a meaningful look.
"Hey, you should say that to me instead!" Jin Hao interrupted, on the other hand, Jin Hua kept his head straight trying to look as normal as she could alas, her red cheeks betrayed her completely.
Lan Hua laughed and then turns her flying beast in another direction, before long she disappeared into the distance.
Jin Hao pursed his lips in annoyance while giving Bei Li Yan a side -eyes "Your subordinate is getting presumptuous every day, don't you think?!"
Bei Li Yan shrugged nonchalantly "But she didn't say anything wrong" Bei Li Yan suddenly caught Jin Hua secretly peeking at him immediately Bei Li Yan threw a flirtatious smile at her "Don't worry you'll be safe with me!" he winked at her.
Suddenly non-existent smoke burst above Jin Hua's head, she quickly averted her eyes but she muttered under her breath, "I'm not worried...."
Even though her voice was small but Jin Hao could hear her clearly once he realized his sister was seduced right in front of him, Jin Hao's face became extremely darken then he gave Bei Li Yan a threatening look, "But, you may not save with me..." he sneered.
"Why am I not surprised" Bei Li Yan smiled sarcastically.
When the two stupid men were arguing Lan Hua flew towards the gate he could see the golden lion army charging towards the gate of the Heaven Gate Sect because he was sure Jiang Jin Wei must not be far away and as expected he found Jiang Jin Wei was fighting with numerous Hybrid Beasts and critters.
Lan Hua summon her sword from her spatial ring and then jumped down while aiming her sword at the hybrid beast that stealthily slipped behind Jiang Jin Wei.
Lan Hua's movements were graceful, fast but deadly with a single stroke of her sword Lan Hua slashed at the monster mercilessly. Jiang Jin Wei turned around and his face was stunned to see Lan Hua's presence.
"Lan Hua?" Jiang Jin Wei's eyes widened in surprise.
Lan Hua's face beamed, her expression instantly softened the moment she saw her, she couldn't help behaving like a pure young girl for a moment, it was a glimpse of who she was before she became a member of the Hei Shen sect, however, she quickly retracted her expression then replace with a coquettish smile, "Lan Hua is coming to help you, Master Jiang~" she saluted Jiang Jin Wei.
"You have come" Jiang Jin Wei smiled in relief but then his eyes searched all over her with careful evaluation, Are you injured?" he was informed how dire the situation in Misty Lake was therefore he was worried about her safety unfortunately he couldn't stop Lan Hua went to a dangerous place because of her obligations as Bei Li Yan's close subordinate.
Lan Hua's lips curled into a smile, she must have been touched but her face refused to show it, instead she teased her "I...I'm so hurt"
Immediately Jiang Jin Wei's expression stiffened, "Huh, where? Let me check it!" he become more anxious.
Lan Hua then replied shyly, "It's on my chest..." she clasped her hands in front of her chest while fidgeting.
"Wait - what?" it took a second for Jiang Jin Wei to realize what Lan Hua meant, Jiang Jin Wei then covered his burning face with his fist then he pointing at Lan Hua like a teacher reprimands his student "Girls shouldn't talk like that in front of a man!" he scolded Lan Hua but his face evidently turned as bright as a ripe tomato.
"Don't worry Master Jiang, I only talk like this to you!" Lan Hua seriously said, but of course, she actually teased him.
Suddenly several Hybrid Beasts jumped at them at the same time so the flirt….Uhm, the conversation was cut off, Jiang Jin Wei swiftly swung his sword while Lan Hua threw protective talismans around them to block the attack from the other Beast.
"We'll continue this conversation later!" Jiang Jin Wei shouts at Lan Hua.
A cheeky smile bloomed on Lan Hua's face "I can't wait~"
