This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 784 - 636: Bonds_3

With Star Eyes as the core of his Domain, along with the Star Battle Formation and with Pang Qingshi covertly aiding to conceal his movements,
He Zhiqing was genuinely holding back two Great Cultivators at the peak of the Ninth Realm with his own strength, and after going all out—even to the point of overexertion—in using Star Eyes for the first time, He Zhiqing had come to a new understanding of these eyes.
As long as he could assimilate this understanding, it would be time for him to advance to the Ninth Realm!
"The murderous intent is thickening, and the Heavenly Mechanism is becoming increasingly perilous, indicating that the Cultivators seeking our lives have reached a terrifying degree."
Meanwhile, Pang Qingshi, reluctantly looking at the crowd, put away the Floating Life Bell that was already filled with countless cracks.
The principle of Senluo Wanxiang Sect was to conceal the Heavenly Mechanism, to seek life in the face of death, and to gain benefits from it.
Now, instead of divining how they could survive, she simply calculated the benefits they could reap if they really sought to survive, using that to infer how intense their "death mechanism" was this time.
"Thank you..."
Coming to her senses, Su Youyi whispered her thanks to Wan Tinggui.
Wan Tinggui was right. She was the one who had full confidence in her senior brother, and even if their opponent was Tian Anyu, she still believed that her senior brother would turn danger into safety and return unharmed.
"Why such a gloomy face?"
Two streaks of light descended from the sky, and at the same time, a puzzled voice sounded.
First glancing over at the two corpses not far away, Liang Yi then looked in puzzlement at his junior sister, whose eyes were still faintly red.
In Liang Yi's view, no casualties had occurred on his junior sister's side, and they had even killed two Great Cultivators from the Devouring Spirit Sect. Moreover, on their end, they had taken out Tian Anyu and destroyed the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core; by all accounts, the plan should be considered a great success.
"Senior brother!?"
"Liang junior brother?"
Seeing the two people descending from the sky, the crowd's expressions went from shock to great joy.
"Senior brother, are you alright? The people from the Devouring Spirit Sect said that Tian Anyu was waiting for you at the Spirit Core of the Heavenly Vein..."
Su Youyi quickly approached, placing her hands on Liang Yi, checking for any serious injuries.
"Ease your worries, what could possibly happen to me?"
Liang Yi revealed a radiant smile, then took his junior sister's wrists and forcefully pulled her to his side, giving her a big hug.
Only after being close, did Liang Yi sharply perceive his junior sister's emotions, which had just calmed down—it seemed she had been quite worried about him.
To prove he was fine and also to reassure Su Youyi, Liang Yi let her feel his well-being through the embrace.
The others, watching this scene, also felt a lot more at ease, relieved that they had come back safely.
"By the way, where's Tian Anyu? Didn't you encounter him?"
Wan Tinggui suddenly asked Liang Yi, as the individuals such as Zhao Taishi were likely not lying, nor would they deign to deceive them about such matters.
Thus, it stood to reason that Tian Anyu was indeed waiting for Liang Yi and the other at the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core.
He Zhiqing and Pang Qingshi also curiously looked towards Liang Yi.
Given that Liang Yi appeared to have not suffered any serious injuries and didn't look like someone who had just battled a Great Cultivator at Great Perfection, was it possible they didn't encounter him?
However, upon hearing this question, Liang Yi hesitated, exchanging a look with Uncle Ju; he was unsure how to break the news to Wan Tinggui.
Liang Yi's hesitation was not because Tian Anyu was Wan Tinggui's father, nor was it out of fear of hurting Wan Tinggui's feelings.
Tian Anyu had always been Wan Tinggui's goal, and even the two previous Heart Inquiry tests were based on the objective to kill Tian Anyu, with everything he did spurred by the drive for vengeance.
Now, to suddenly deliver the news of Tian Anyu's death, would it cause Wan Tinggui to lose his purpose and fall into confusion?
To lose the spirit within, for a Cultivator on the verge of breaking through to the Ninth Realm, was not a good omen at all.
