Red Cloud Ancestor was captured and would soon be refined to ashes on Emperor's Immortal Slaying Stage under Huang Cengtian's orders. This news quickly reached Yu Yuan's ears.

It was not that his senses were particularly sharp, but Donghuang Taiyi had commanded numerous Demon Gods to scatter their Divine Thoughts and broadcast the news throughout the entire Ancient Star Domain.

It was as if thousands of broadcasts were loudly proclaiming it through megaphones.

As long as Yu Yuan wasn't deaf, he was bound to receive this message.

Obviously, this was Donghuang Taiyi deliberately informing him.

"Trying to lure me into a rescue so he can trap me with his Heaven and Earth Net... Donghuang Taiyi is truly naïve," Yu Yuan said with a sneer.

His target was originally the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Now that he had the Hongmeng Purple Qi within his own Primordial Spirit, why would he risk himself for Red Cloud Ancestor?

"Anyway, he was meant to die... Even if I save him now, it's just delaying the inevitable," Yu Yuan muttered to himself.

Before he finished speaking, a soft and weak voice came from the carriage behind him: "You may say that, but that's not what you really think... You are a person whose words don't match his heart."

Yu Yuan curled his lip, saying discontentedly, "What do you know!"

Chang Xi Fairy slightly furrowed her brows, seemingly quite displeased with his attitude, and retorted, "You know I possess the Nine-Colored Glaze Heart. I can clearly distinguish whether your words are true or false; you can't deceive me.

You clearly want to rescue him but are afraid of falling into an ambush.

The reason you have fear in your heart is because you have seen hope, and you are very close to the goal you have always been pursuing. At this moment, you don't want to create more trouble..."

Yu Yuan abruptly turned his head back, staring at her with intense eyes.

Chang Xi Fairy was startled, and her voice unconsciously softened.

"I won't say it anymore, don't be angry, Immortal."

Chang Xi Fairy ultimately still knew fear.

She also knew that she was just a captive, although relatively free. This "kidnapper" didn't seem to want to harm her, but she still felt it was better to stay quiet and well-behaved.

After all, not long ago, the man before her had harbored some unhealthy thoughts towards her.

However, to her surprise, this "kidnapper" did not get angry but instead sighed softly.

"You're right, I do have some fear in my heart," Yu Yuan said seriously. "I've already obtained what I wanted; I don't wish to lose it..."

He paused slightly here, as if still hesitating.

Eventually, he earnestly said, "This is what I owe Red Cloud Ancestor. It should be repaid; otherwise, my mind won't rest easy!"

Combining prior information from Demon Queen Xi He, he had basically figured out why Donghuang Taiyi and the others always believed that the Hongmeng Purple Qi was with Red Cloud Ancestor.

It was because he was with Red Cloud Ancestor!

It could be said that it was because of him that Red Cloud Ancestor had ended up in this situation!

"I will save him one last time before I leave... After that, we'll be even!" Yu Yuan said solemnly to himself.

After all, he was not the ungrateful sort.

On the contrary, he was someone who valued loyalty and friendship deeply.

It's for this exact reason that he wanted to change the outcome of Divine Enthronement, not wanting the people he cherished to get hurt.

However, since Donghuang Taiyi dared to make this known, he would surely set up a thorough Heaven and Earth Net... He couldn't just rush over to rescue; that would be akin to delivering his head on a platter.

He needed a foolproof strategy.

...

Beneath the starry sky, a white light blossomed, revealing the figure of a woman in a white dress.

She had a pair of spirited and thick eyebrows, black hair tied into a high ponytail that revealed a pair of delicate and red ears, each earlobe dangling with a small green snake, giving her a dashing and capable appearance.

This woman in white was none other than Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch, one of the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

Not long ago, when she and Red Cloud Ancestor were ambushed and saw the situation turning dire, the outnumbered and overpowered Xuan Ming had no choice but to flee in haste.

Fortunately, those Demon Saints did not pursue her, allowing her to easily escape the encirclement.

Once to safety, she used the unique bloodline connection between the Ancestor Witches to call out to her brothers and sisters.

In no time, the space before her twisted and transformed, and several tall figures appeared.

Aside from Emperor Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin, three more figures were added.

By their appearance, two were men and one was a woman.

The man to the left was sturdy and tall, with muscular build, dressed in a red leather robe, emitting intense heat that slightly distorted the space around him, as if at any moment it could burst into blazing flames.

The man to the right had a gentle appearance, wearing a black robe, and his entire being exuded a gentle aura. His bright eyes were like a calm pond at dawn, abundant with aquatic plants, clear to the bottom.

The woman was also quite tall, dressed in an apricot-yellow Daoist robe, with a dignified and graceful appearance. Her shiny black hair draped over her shoulders like a smooth, black waterfall.

"Houtu Sister!"

Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch called out joyfully.

The burly man in the red robe with a mouth twisted said, "Xuan Ming Sister, you play favorites. Seeing Houtu Sister, you're overjoyed, yet you don't even greet me and Gonggong with as much as a word."

The Gonggong Ancestor Witch in the black robe chuckled and said, "You're the one feeling left out, don't drag me into it."

The burly man glared, about to speak, but then he heard Xuan Ming Ancestor Witch formally bow with folded hands, "Two elder brothers, your younger sister has paid her respects!"
