Hell Emperor.

Chapter 261 Xia Wei - Shocking News
"We are almost there. The noise is coming from ahead..."

After Ren Changhong left, everyone rushed all the way and soon arrived at Wanglong Peak, where the movement was the most intense.

Before they got close, the tragic scene before them shocked everyone deeply. They saw that the area within a radius of ten miles was full of dirty blood and the ground was red. From time to time, they could see swollen organs like small hills and broken limbs dozens of feet long. It was as if they were in a huge slaughterhouse.

"What on earth happened here?" Li Fei'e covered her nose with her hands, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Looking around, the land was in ruins, as if a fierce conflict had broken out before.

Shen Qingge remained silent, looking around with his discerning eyes, not missing a single clue.

Everyone continued to move forward, and soon, they heard a faint whimpering sound next to their ears.

The voice was intermittent and sounded unreal, but it seemed to contain heart-wrenching pain and furious accusations. The cries echoed in the dead and deserted top of Wanglong Peak and lingered for a long time.

Nan Linghe pursed her lips. She immediately recognized that the cry came from Xia Wei. She said quickly, "That's Xia Wei's cry. I don't know what happened to her. She sounds so fragile. Let's go help her!"

Everyone moved quickly, running in the direction of the sound, and soon saw the familiar girl.

But Xia Wei was seen sitting on the ground, her hands around her knees, her slender and delicate body curled up into a ball, her face buried deeply. No one could see her expression, but from her extremely sad crying, they could feel how miserable she was inside.

Li Fei'e came to Xia Wei and patted her back with concern: "Xia Wei, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you? This is the territory of the Yellow Dragon Army. Is it the people here who are causing trouble for you?"

The familiar voice coming from her ear brought Xia Wei back to her senses. She wiped the tears from her face and shook her head continuously. No matter how Li Fei'e asked, she did not say a word.

Taking in the surrounding scenery, Shen Qingge slowly stepped forward, with a hint of disbelief in his cold eyes:
"It's not Xia Wei who's in trouble, it's the people of the Yellow Dragon Army... Do you remember Zhang Long's Dharma body? The huge wreckage we passed by on the road should be his. Xia Wei, did you do all this?"

Xia Wei pursed her lips and stared at Shen Qingge beside her. There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice: "I failed... I wanted to rescue Meng Junyao, but I was too late. Now, Meng Junyao... she has been killed..."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, a silver-white figure was reflected in Xia Wei's dim eyes. Seeing that figure, Xia Wei's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed and she suddenly burst into laughter.

The unique figure was none other than the curious Meng Junyao. When she heard Xia Wei mention her, she flew out eagerly. Her big dragon pupils showed a hint of curiosity: "Sister Xia Wei, were you calling me just now? I'm fine."

"That's great... I'm glad you're okay."

Xia Wei bit her lip hard, stretched out her hands, and hugged Meng Junyao tightly, leaning against her. Seeing that she was safe and sound, she finally let go of the worry in her heart.

After a long time, Xia Wei finally let her go, with many questions still lingering in her eyes: "Sister Yao, weren't you captured by that group of people? I was really worried about you, how did you get away with it?"

"I was almost eaten just now! Sister Xia Wei, you didn't see that there was such a huge demon dragon chasing after me just now..."

Meng Junyao had a lingering fear on her face, and she told Xia Wei her previous experience in an exaggerated way.

After hearing all this, Xia Wei couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, and ripples appeared in her bright eyes. She never thought that such a dangerous battle would happen around her family. Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound, and successfully repelled the dragon.

"I'm glad you're all okay... If I were here, I would definitely teach that demon dragon a lesson!"

Xia Wei was indignant. It was a pity that she missed the battle, otherwise she would not let the dragon go.

Li Fei'e also came over and joked, "Sister Xia Wei, you don't know yet, right? Just now, Sister He turned into my Nether Spirit Magical Treasure, called the Leisurely Spiritual Crane Hat, which is at the fourth level! Not only that, the Purple Lightning Blue Frost Sword that Youdie turned into broke through the third level and entered the artifact level, which is why she was able to repel the demon dragon!"

Xia Wei nodded, her eyes fell on Li Fei'e's shoulder. Seeing that Youdie was not there, she couldn't help but feel curious: "By the way... where is Youdie? Why didn't I see her?"

Li Fei'e curled her lips, looking a little unhappy: "I have lent it to Grandmaster Ren. It may take several days for it to return to my side... I don't know how Youdie is doing now. Has she recovered from her weakness? Although she is my companion spirit butterfly, if she is far away, I don't know her condition."

At the end, Li Fei'e couldn't help but feel a little worried, and rubbed the corner of his clothes with his fingers nervously: "Youdie just transformed into a third-grade divine sword for me, and her soul has long been weak and on the verge of limit. What if Master Ren ignores her fatigue and forcibly casts the Nether Spirit Divine Art on her?"

Shen Qingge patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, your master's understanding of the Nether Spirit Divine Art is even better than mine. Even my Nether Spirit Divine Art was taught by her. She won't overuse the Nether Butterfly."

With Shen Qingge's comfort, Li Fei'e's expression improved a lot, but the surrounding scenery attracted her attention:

"Sister Xia Wei, what on earth happened here? We just sensed a strong burst of immortal energy, which is a sign of the immortal's fall. You actually killed the leader here, who is at the third level. How on earth did you do it?"

Xia Wei smiled calmly and explained, "I borrowed the purple energy from the east to strengthen the power of the Purple Demon Eye. His Dharma body can absorb external attacks and transform them into his own power, but there is a limit after all. Once the power absorbed exceeds the limit, he will explode and die."

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, and the way they looked at Xia Wei also became unusual.

Shen Qingge took a deep breath. Although she knew what Xia Wei did, she still found it incredible. "That Zhang Long is at the third level. If you want him to explode and die, you must at least show a strength far beyond that of a third-level immortal. You are only at the fifth level... No, even if you are at the peak of the fifth level, you still cannot ascend to the immortal position, and you don't have the help of the Nether Spirit Divine Art. How can you do all this?"

Xia Wei raised her head and looked towards the misty clouds. "I can't do it with my own strength, but if I add the purple energy from the east, I can do it. At sunrise, with the help of the purple energy from the east, I can use the power of the purple magic pupil to increase the power of the magic pupil by a hundred times, or even a thousand times. This method is only limited to the moment when the sun rises in the east, but it is enough to decide the outcome of the battle."

Hearing this, even the well-informed Shen Qingge couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the Purple Demon Eye could be used in this way. It can actually directly borrow the power of heaven and earth. This is not something that ordinary skills can do. It is worthy of being a national-level skill."

On the side, Li Fei'e also showed curiosity. She also practiced the Purple Demon Eye. When she heard that there was such a secret use hidden in the technique, she naturally couldn't wait to try it. Unfortunately, it had been a long time since sunrise. If she wanted to try it, she would have to wait until a new day.

Xia Wei took a deep breath and said with emotion: "When I used the Purple Demon Pupil, I felt the changes in the purple energy coming from the east. What King Tang said was indeed correct. The source of the purple energy is in the Dongsheng Divine Continent. If I can absorb it here, it will be of great help to my practice..."

At this moment, Nan Linghe seemed to be tripped by something. She looked down and was shocked by the scene in front of her.

But what she saw lying at her feet was the corpse of a young boy with a miserable death. There were two charred holes on the boy's chest, and he was already dead.

Nan Linghe shrank his neck and held Xia Wei in fear: "Sister Xia Wei, did you do that?"

Xia Wei nodded, and said bluntly without hiding anything: "He is Zhang Long's son. I thought Zhang Long lied to me and that Meng Junyao had been killed, so I want the people here to pay the price!"

Everyone was stunned. After looking at each other, they all skipped this topic and started talking about other things, such as congratulating Xia Wei for her higher realm and once again comprehending the tricks of the martial arts.

Shen Qingge couldn't listen any longer. She stroked her forehead and spoke slowly: "Everyone, do we really have to avoid talking about this issue? I don't think it's right to do so."

Xia Wei was stunned. She crossed her arms and felt that Shen Qingge was targeting her: "What's the problem?"

"What's the problem? Of course..." Shen Qingge pointed around and looked around. Every few steps around, he could see corpses of people who died on the spot. "You killed them. You didn't have to do that."

"This is to protect my family! I have lost family members before, and I understand the pain of losing family members better than anyone else. I will not let anyone hurt my family. If anyone dares to do so, I will make them pay the price!" Xia Wei arched her back slightly, gritted her teeth, and said without giving in.

Shen Qingge was quite helpless and sighed: "You really don't think you are wrong?"

"What's wrong with protecting my family? Even if that means hurting other people's families, I will do it!" Xia Wei answered loudly with a serious expression.

"You shouldn't do this..."

Shen Qingge rubbed her wrinkled brows. Xia Wei's stubbornness was even more terrifying than she had imagined. She had never seen someone as paranoid as Xia Wei. She really couldn't tolerate Xia Wei's mistakes like other people did.

The dispute between the two made the atmosphere in the field depressing. Everyone noticed that the atmosphere was different at the moment. Invisible cracks continued to spread in the hearts of the family members who had been harmonious in the past.

Li Fei'e looked anxious. From her master's attitude, she knew that he was serious this time. If Xia Wei did not guarantee that she would never kill innocent people in the future, the two would even part ways.

Seeing the dispute spread, the situation became tense, and no one dared to say a word. The harmony of the past was no longer there. Suddenly, Meng Junyao seemed to have thought of something, and said with surprise:

"Oh, by the way, you guys don't know yet, right? I smell the scent of a destined person!"

"The destined one? Could it be that you are talking about..."

Hearing this, Hua Xiaomei was stunned on the spot. From beginning to end, there was only one person who could be called the destined person by Aunt Meng's reincarnation. Even to Xia Wei, Meng Junyao never called her the destined person.

The premonition that arose in her heart made Hua Xiaomei feel absurd. She shook her head repeatedly and did not believe what Meng Junyao said.

Xia Wei's eyes widened as well. She didn't bother to talk to Shen Qingge anymore. She quickly ran to Meng Junyao's side and asked, "Wait a minute... Sister Yao, the destined person you mentioned, could it be my master?"

Meng Junyao nodded repeatedly, her big dragon pupils showing a bit of innocence: "Yes, I smelled his scent."

Xia Wei pursed her lips, emphasized her tone, and repeatedly questioned: "This is impossible, Master's soul has obviously been scattered... I saw it with my own eyes, how could you smell his breath?"

Seeing Xia Wei's urgent tone and wide eyes, Meng Junyao was frightened by the sense of uneasiness in her eyes. She curled up into a ball, and only after being comforted by other family members did she gradually regain her composure and truthfully told everything she had just felt:
"I don't know why, but what I smelled just now was clearly the scent of a destined person. Even if he turned into ashes, I would never forget his scent..."

Li Fei'e was full of surprise and asked, "Where did you smell Brother Jie's scent?"

"It's on one of the ghosts. By the way, you seem to call that kind of ghost Shura..." Meng Junyao pondered.

"Ashura? Could she be talking about Grandmaster Ren?" Li Fei'e recalled carefully but did not find anything unusual.

Only Shen Qingge trembled, and slowly spoke: "She was not talking about the master, but the other Shura who came with the master... After hearing her say that, I seemed to remember that the master clearly called him Shura Jie just now. Could it be that Shura Jie is..."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised and happy, but there was still some doubt in their eyes. Ye Jie had clearly lost his soul in front of everyone, so how could he become a Shura?

Xia Wei's body was trembling and her chest was heaving. After learning the news about Shura Jie, her heart was filled with intense joy of regaining what she had lost, but along with it came genuine fear. She was afraid that everything was a misunderstanding and that it would all be in vain in the end.

After a long while, Xia Wei shook her head and sighed, "This is impossible... If it was Master, he would not have put everyone in danger, and would have recognized his family, but he did not do that. My Master has long since died, so Sister Yao must have been wrong."

Shen Qingge thought of more: "Maybe he has some unspeakable secrets at the moment, so it is inconvenient for him to recognize us? You must know that the Demon Palace is not like other places. If you are not careful, you will die without a burial place. It is understandable that he did this..."

Everyone was talking about it, but Xia Wei said she didn't believe it and just kept shaking her head.
