After saying that, Lin Yan shook off Su He's hand and left without looking back.

After Lin Yan left, Su He and Ni Chang both fell into silence.

They all harbored unspeakable bitterness and helplessness.

This team that had fought side by side fell apart.

And they will face an even more difficult situation.

"Ni Chang, I'm sorry. It was because of me that your identity was exposed."

If he hadn't kept asking, Ni Chang's identity wouldn't have been exposed so quickly.

Ni Chang shook her head and forced a smile.

"No, this isn't your fault. I should have revealed my identity a long time ago; I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you all this time."

"It's because I'm too cowardly, too afraid of losing your trust. That's why I kept making mistakes and made things turn out like this."

Ni Chang's eyes reddened again as she spoke.

She felt incredibly guilty and remorseful.

It was because of her that the team broke up.

"Ni Chang, don't blame yourself. I understand your difficulties."

Su He comforted her gently.

"As the daughter of the Demon King, you must have carried a lot of pressure and pain."

"But you still chose the side of justice and chose to help humanity. This courage deserves everyone's respect."

As Su He spoke, he took Ni Chang's hand.

Ni Chang felt a warmth in her heart as she sensed this power.

"Thank you, Su He. I feel relieved to hear you say that."

After several more days of travel, Suhe and Nishang finally arrived at another secret place for sealing souls.

According to that ancient map, this is the second place where the Demon King's soul is sealed.

"This is it. Blackwater Marsh, a forbidden land filled with demonic energy."

Looking up, Suhe saw a vast, black lake stretching out before him.

The lake water was as black as ink and emitted a nauseating stench.

On the lake, eerie energy frequently rises, creating a scene resembling purgatory.

"The demonic energy here is a hundred times stronger than in the previous cave."

Ni Chang frowned.

"It seems that what is sealed here is the most evil part of the Demon King's soul."

Su He nodded and gripped the long sword at his waist.

"Let's be careful and find that soul-sealing formation first."

The two bypassed the Blackwater Marsh and headed towards the island in the middle of the lake.

According to the map, the Demon King's soul is sealed underground on that island.

But the moment they set foot on the island, their expressions changed.

"Oh no! The barrier's aura has vanished!"

Ni Chang gasped in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening.

Su He's expression also changed drastically, and he scanned the island with his gaze.

All the trees on the island had withered and fallen.

The ground was covered with charred marks, as if it had been burned by something.

In the very center of the island, there is a huge crater.

Around the pit, countless fragments of arrays and runes were scattered.

"The soul-sealing formation has been destroyed!"

Su He gritted his teeth, his tone chilling.

"Judging from this situation, the Demon King's soul has likely already been taken away!"

Ni Chang's face was ashen, and her body trembled slightly.

"Who could have done this? Could it be... could it really be one of the Demon King's henchmen?"

Su He pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"Besides the five major sects, probably only the lost Demon King's Record could destroy such a powerful soul-sealing formation."

Ni Chang gasped.

"You mean, someone obtained the Demon King's Record and, according to its instructions, destroyed the Soul-Sealing Formation?"

"Doesn't that mean the Demon King's soul has already fallen into someone else's hands?"

Su He nodded, his expression solemn.

"That's probably the case. Moreover, their goal is likely not to destroy the Demon King, but rather to exploit his power."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find the Demon King's Record and destroy the Soul-Sealing Formations one by one."

Ni Chang's heart sank upon hearing this.

"If the Demon King's soul truly falls into the hands of someone with malicious intent, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"We need to find that Demon King's Record quickly and stop their conspiracy!"

Let's go search the island again and see if we can find any clues.

Then we went to the next place where souls were sealed.

Under no circumstances should the Demon King's soul fall into enemy hands!

Ni Chang also looked resolute, following closely behind Su He.

"Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not let the Demon King reappear in the human world."

"We must find the mastermind behind this and completely thwart their conspiracy!"

The two searched the island, but found nothing except broken formations and runes.

The whereabouts of the Demon King's soul remains a mystery.

And the Demon King's Record has vanished without a trace.

"It seems we can only try our luck at the next Soul Sealing Land."

Su He sighed, his tone somewhat dejected.

Each time a Soul-Sealing Land is destroyed, the possibility of the Demon King being resurrected increases by one point.

But they were never able to stop it all.

"Don't lose heart, Suhe. Things aren't hopeless yet."

"As long as the Demon King's Record has not completely fallen into the enemy's hands, we still have hope."

"Besides, don't we still have one last trump card?"

As Ni Chang spoke, she took out the fragments of the Soul-Devouring Mirror from her bosom.

"The Soul-Devouring Mirror is related to the Demon King's Record; perhaps it can help us find the Demon King's Record."

"Let's find the remaining fragments and try to restore the Soul-Eating Mirror. Then, we'll figure out how to unlock its secrets."

Just as Suhe and Nishang were about to leave Blackwater Marsh, a powerful demonic aura suddenly emerged from the depths of the island.

The demonic aura was a hundred times stronger than before, making people feel suffocated and terrified.

"Oh no, this is a trap!"

Su He's pupils contracted, and his expression changed drastically.

He sensed something was wrong and quickly grabbed Ni Chang's hand, ready to leave the place.

But just then, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the demonic aura and blocked their path.

"Ni Chang, it's been a long time."

The shadowy figure slowly revealed its true form, revealing itself to be a man who bore a striking resemblance to Ni Chang.

He was dressed in a black robe and had a handsome face, but his eyes gleamed with an eerie red light.

"Big brother...Shang Li..."

When Ni Chang saw who it was, her face turned deathly pale.

Her voice trembled involuntarily.

"I never expected to meet you here."

Upon hearing this, Su He was also startled.

He never expected that the man who suddenly appeared was actually Ni Chang's older brother.

Judging from Ni Chang's reaction, this older brother probably has ill intentions.

"Hehe, little sister, are you really that afraid of seeing me?"

Shang Li gave a cold laugh.

"Do you know what the consequences will be for betraying your father and the entire demon race?"

"Now, my father's spirit is almost complete. His resurrection is just around the corner."

"At that time, there will be no more humans in the world, only my demon race will reign supreme!"

"And you, as a traitor, will receive the most severe punishment!"
