After the Divine Phoenix left.

It took a full three days, three days before Lin Fan finally woke up.

He had lost so much blood that it took three full days for his body to regenerate enough blood.

"Where is the Divine Phoenix?" Lin Fan searched for the location of the Divine Phoenix upon awakening.

"Humph! At a time like this, you're still concerned about that woman. Do you realize you risked your life by giving her your blood to restore her body? If she had even a hint of wanting to kill you, you'd be dead by now!" Emperor Jade snorted angrily, upset with Lin Fan's actions.

Back then.

She had strongly opposed Lin Fan, yet Lin Fan chose to save the Divine Phoenix nonetheless.

Luckily, the Divine Phoenix didn't harbor any intent to kill; otherwise, Lin Fan would already be a corpse!

"Haha! Emperor Jade, I'm not too worried about it. At least... now I don't have to worry about dying!" Lin Fan chuckled, shaking his head.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Jade frowned.

"Do you remember last time at Kunwu Mountain, when I was rescued?" Lin Fan smiled faintly.

Emperor Jade pondered, "You mean Er Gouzi?"

"Yes! This guy, I assure you, he's always secretly protecting me. It's just... how to say this, generally, he won't intervene unless I'm in a situation where I'm bound to die. So, I dared to take a chance and save the Divine Phoenix!" Lin Fan nodded, explaining.

After hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Emperor Jade rolled her eyes.

"Little Fan, you've overthought it! Last time Er Gouzi saved you, it was because I signaled him!"

"What?" Lin Fan was taken aback.

"What else did you think? This time, I didn't send any signals, so you really put yourself in danger! If the Divine Phoenix decided to kill you, you'd be truly dead! Did you think Er Gouzi doesn't have his own affairs to attend to, and spends all day hiding in the shadows watching over you?" Emperor Jade sneered.

She was puzzled about why Lin Fan had such confidence, only to find out it was due to this.

"Uh... was I being too sentimental?"

Upon hearing Emperor Jade's explanation, cold sweat formed on Lin Fan's forehead. It seemed.

He had truly been in great peril!

However.

Lin Fan had gambled correctly; the Divine Phoenix didn't harm him and had even left behind a cloak?

Lin Fan lowered his head, looking at the cloak draped over him, raised a hand, and stored it in the Coiling Dragon Ancient Ring.

"You were being sentimental! Don't do such dangerous things again. What are you planning to do now?" Emperor Jade asked solemnly.

"From the Divine Phoenix's words, the Heavenly Demons will invade the Divine Wind Continent in about a month, so I'm planning to return to Fuyao Palace and have them inform every force on the Divine Wind Continent about this, urging everyone to prepare early! Ideally, we'll intercept the Heavenly Demons at the Sealing Demon Valley. Otherwise, once the battle begins, both the Divine Wind Continent and its affiliated realms will suffer!" Lin Fan said.

Then.

He turned around and left the cave, heading back to Fuyao Palace.

...

Three days ago.

The Divine Phoenix also crossed the Sealing Demon Valley, returning to the Heavenly Demon Continent.

Now.

At the front of a vast wasteland on the Heavenly Demon Continent, extending millions of miles, were the encampments of the eight major Demon Clan armies, divided into eight zones, with at least tens of billions of demons in each zone.

At a glance, the multitude of demons was endless, surging like tides!

In the sky, eight blood-red moons emitted eerie light, extremely creepy.

And at the front of the army, a massive space rift hovered there. Beyond the space rift lay the Sealing Demon Valley of the Divine Wind Continent, though for now, this space rift was still suppressed by sealing powers, allowing only a few from the Heavenly Demon Clan to pass through.

It's absolutely impossible for a large Demon army to pass through.

We must wait for the Demon Emperor to break the seal between the two realms in a month, allowing the Demon army to march straight into the Divine Wind Continent realm.

The Divine Phoenix returned to the camp of the Yaksha Clan.

At the instant she stepped into the Yaksha Clan's camp!

Suddenly.

A commanding voice echoed in the Divine Phoenix's mind!

"You've returned, come to the hall."

The Divine Phoenix's delicate frame trembled slightly, with a hint of awe; this voice belonged to her father, the sovereign of the Yaksha Clan!

Soon.

She arrived at the hall.

Upon entering the hall, to her surprise, Jiao Chi was also inside, staring coldly at the Divine Phoenix.

"Heh! Struck by my Corrosion Blade, yet still survived, it seems you used that move?" Jiao Chi coldly glared at the Divine Phoenix, who walked into the hall, sneering.

The Divine Phoenix's delicate face turned crimson, then pale.

Yaksha women have a unique innate skill.

Equivalent to a second life!

No matter the severity of the injury, as long as they unite with a male, they can fully recover.

Of course... this powerful skill can only be used once in a lifetime.

In Jiao Chi's eyes, with the Divine Phoenix struck by his Corrosion Blade, death was certain.

But now, barely half a day had passed, and the Divine Phoenix was walking back as if nothing happened, meaning she had used this one chance!

Thinking of this, a silent jealousy erupted in Jiao Chi's heart!

However.

He endured it!

"I..."

The Divine Phoenix bit her lip tightly, her heart in turmoil.

She remembered Lin Fan, how he saved her!

The Divine Phoenix knew she could completely betray Lin Fan and reveal the special power of his blood to everyone.

Moreover, if she explained, she was confident that she could convince them!

But.

If the Divine Phoenix spoke out, wouldn't Lin Fan be... sentenced to death?

If others present knew the terrifying effect of Lin Fan's blood, her father would probably unleash the entire Yaksha Clan's power to hunt Lin Fan...

"Yes, I used that move! And it was with the man you hate most, are you satisfied?"

The Divine Phoenix nodded and gave Jiao Chi a mocking smile.

In the Divine Phoenix's heart, if she had to choose between Lin Fan and Jiao Chi, she believed Lin Fan was infinitely better!

At least, Lin Fan had saved her, giving her warmth.

And Jiao Chi?

The slash from the Corrosion Blade had already killed the Divine Phoenix's heart!

"You!!!"

Originally, Jiao Chi harbored a glimmer of hope, but when the Divine Phoenix uttered those words, his inner jealousy and resentment exploded.

The Divine Phoenix was his fiancée, bound by a marriage contract with him!

Yet now, she's become another man's woman?

"Damn it!!! Divine Phoenix, you bitch. As the Yaksha Clan's princess, you are truly shameless. Monarch! How should we handle this matter? If you don't give me a satisfying answer, the Blood Demon Clan won't be easy to deal with!"

Jiao Chi clenched his teeth, eyes blazing with fury, glaring at the Divine Phoenix.

Jealousy!

Resentment!

Ruthlessness!

Malice!

These emotions were all written on his face.

"Of course."

The man at the head of the hall coldly nodded, "From now on, stripping Divine Phoenix of her princess status, she will be sent to the vanguard camp. When the battle commences in a month, let her be among the first wave of demons to charge! A woman defiled by humans is no longer fit to be my daughter!"

The Demon Clan's vanguard camp is practically a suicide squad.

Being part of the first wave means a nearly hundred percent death rate!

Once the passage between the Heavenly Demon Continent and the Divine Wind Continent opens, and she charges in with the vanguard camp, she's bound to die!

The Divine Phoenix's body trembled as she lifted her head, looking despairingly at her father.

But.

What she saw was only endless indifference!
