Soon, under the hands of the Shadow Mage, the figure in the black robe slowly transformed into a pile of sand, scattering with the wind.
Then, the Shadow Mage also vanished from sight. Before leaving, the Shadow Mage cast a Demonic Flame at Zhao Shenqin, who had been knocked away by Yun Lun, erasing him from this world.
...
Yun Lun remained standing in place, the demonic energy around him still surging uncontrollably.
The consciousness in his mind began to blur. Is this the price of becoming a demon?
He seemed to hear his parents' anxious calls and Nangong Tianyu shaking his body repeatedly, but it felt like those sounds were gradually fading away.
He wondered how Ahao was doing. He wanted to walk over and check, but it felt like his body was no longer his own. He couldn't move at all.
Perhaps this is another form of death.
"Don't you want to become a demon?" The voice that had echoed in his heart resurfaced.
"I don't want to, but do I have a choice?" Yun Lun felt a tinge of bitterness in his heart.
"Fine, but one day you will understand that becoming a demon is the right choice. Time will give you the answer.
"The word 'time' is inscribed in Divine Script within the Universal Trial; that is your time." The voice echoed again.
"Why?" Yun Lun couldn't help but feel confused.
But there was no response; it was as if the other party had vanished without a trace.
The magical runes on Yun Lun slowly faded away, and he collapsed onto the ground, losing consciousness.
The battle from start to finish did not last long at all.
At this moment, Yun Lun's parents arrived by his side and helped him up.
...
"Damn, that bastard set up a formation over here. What a despicable move. If I catch him, he's going to be in for it," Nangong Tianxiang cursed.
Uncle Mo shook his head and said, "Tian Yu is probably in trouble. Since they blocked us here, it's to prevent us from providing support."
Nangong Tianxiang's face instantly turned pale as he thought of the worst possible outcome.
"What should we do? Should we call the family for some support?"
Uncle Mo slowly shook his head. "I've tried. We can't send any signals out from here. Most likely, we need to break the formation first. For now, we can only hope that Miss is safe."
He had already realized that the opponent had prepared a trapping formation, likely with no intention of fighting but simply wanting to delay us. Since he wasn't skilled in formations himself, they could only wait for it to dissolve on its own.
If Uncle Mo weren't his elder, he would have insisted on showing him the authority of the Nangong Family's young master.
"Looks like that's all we can do," Nangong Tianxiang replied weakly. He silently prayed, "Sister, please be safe."
But this was not the time for worry; their opponent was clearly well-prepared. Unless they chose to open the formation themselves, there was no way for them to break through.
Damn it, why are they so cunning? It's all my fault for being too naive, and my old man too.
Indeed, it was all inherited, Nangong Tianxiang thought, feeling much better about it.
However, what he didn't know was that the battle on the other side had already ended, and he was still trapped.
...
Although Yun Hao was severely injured, at least he was still alive, and Yun Lun was merely unconscious.
Yun Lun's parents, after the village chief's repeated assurances, confirmed that Yun Lun was fine before reluctantly heading home.
There was nothing they could do; sometimes knowing too much only hastened one's demise. The greatest happiness for ordinary people might just be ignorance.
"How long until your family arrives?" the village chief asked Nangong Tianyu while puffing on his pipe.
"Depends on how they prepare," Nangong Tianyu replied anxiously.
It was truly unfortunate to have encountered so many issues while sneaking out to play with her brother.
Moreover, her brother was too unreliable; she definitely wouldn't listen to him next time.
The village chief had no choice but to continue puffing on his pipe.
Soon, the room was filled with smoke.
"They're both injured; why don't you step outside for a smoke?" Nangong Tianyu cautiously suggested.
Although this little bit of smoke didn't matter to cultivators, she could hardly tolerate it herself and needed to find a way to get him to step out. After all, it was all her fault, and she didn't want to sound too harsh.
The village chief also noticed her thoughts but did not speak them out loud, merely nodding.
After stepping outside, the village chief sat on a chair, looking up at the stars in the sky, silently shedding tears.
It seemed like he couldn't protect anything. Yun Hao's parents were the same, and so was Yun Hao.
...
A few streaks of light quickly approached from the horizon.
They were Uncle Mo and his group, along with Nangong Tianxiang, whose mouth had been sealed shut because he had been chattering non-stop along the way, causing Uncle Mo a headache, so he decided to seal his mouth.
Nangong Tianyu sensed their arrival and walked out of the house.
Seeing his sister safe, Nangong Tianxiang felt extremely excited. He wanted to say something, but all that came out was muffled sounds.
Noticing this, Uncle Mo unsealed Nangong Tianxiang's mouth.
"Ah, sister, I'm so happy to see you safe!" Nangong Tianxiang said excitedly.
After saying that, he opened his arms, wanting to give his sister a loving hug.
Nangong Tianyu immediately kicked him.
She knocked her brother down to the ground. "Why did you come now? You really make me mad."
After saying that, feeling unsatisfied, she went up and started punching and kicking Nangong Tianxiang.
"Uncle Mo, Uncle Mo, come save me!" Nangong Tianxiang cried out in a hurry. Although his sister wasn't using much strength to hit him, he still didn't want to lose face.
Uncle Mo quickly coughed a few times, and only then did Nangong Tianyu stop her actions, ultimately giving Nangong Tianxiang a kick.
"Hello, Uncle Mo," Nangong Tianyu smiled and greeted Uncle Mo.
Uncle Mo held a high status in the Nangong Family, mainly because he had once ventured out with their father, and they shared a deep bond. Moreover, Uncle Mo had no children of his own, so he treated the two siblings very well when they were young.
As for the reason he never married, it was because the only girl he ever loved died while saving him during their adventures with the Nangong Family Head.
His heart turned to ashes in that moment, leading to a life of solitude thereafter.
"Tian Yu, since you are not in any great danger, let's head back. Your father is quite worried," Uncle Mo said.
In his earlier focus on dealing with his brother, he had completely forgotten about Yun Lun and Yun Hao. He hurriedly added, "Uncle Mo, please give me some healing elixirs. I'm fine, but my two friends are seriously injured."
"Oh? Friends?" Uncle Mo's expression showed some confusion.
