"Mother says it's easy, but without the Pill Palace, we would be out of danger. It would take at least another hundred years to nurture another one." Shi Qingwan sighed.

"This is just the worst case scenario. We haven't lost all hope yet." Shi Xuejun asked, "Your Master still hasn't replied to any messages."

"Nope."

"Then we'll have to hold on for now."

After receiving the news from the Western Sea Beast King, Tuoba Rui gave the order for all the various sects to launch their offensive from all directions. Dozens of sects were attacking from all directions, with the aim of defending the mountain in the shortest amount of time possible.

Hua Ruge originally wanted to go and help, but Tuoba Rui said that anything could happen on the battlefield.

Therefore, as the battle outside the city was going on in the dark, Hua Ruge, the initiator of the war, was sitting at home and basking in the sun, eating snacks.

After sitting for a while, she felt bored, so she decided to go to Shangguan Li's place.

Shangguan Li had just finished dealing with the matters of the morning and was meditating in the courtyard.

"Why are you free today?" she asked curiously.

This was the day of the offensive, and she was not even there.

"My man won't let me go. He told me to rest at home. I felt bored so I came to play with you." Hua Ruge replied truthfully.

"Your man is treating you like paper." Good management shook his head and laughed.

In the eyes of outsiders, who didn't know that Hua Ruge was a tyrannosaur, the only one who could take care of her like she was a child was Tuoba Rui.

"Yeah." Hua Ruge sighed from where he stood.

Seeing that, Shangguan Li said: "Speak, what do you want me to do with you?"

"Hmm?" Hua Ruge raised his eyebrows and asked: "From your words, what do you intend to do?"

"I also feel a bit bored. Why don't we go out for a walk?" Shangguan Li suggested.

Hua Ruge looked at her like he had seen a ghost: "Ah Li, I didn't hear wrong, you actually feel bored and want to go out for a walk?"

She had known Shangguan Li for so many years, but this was the first time she saw these words in Shangguan Li's dictionary.

"Are you leaving or not?" Shangguan Li had no patience to explain to her.

Hua Ruge nodded decisively.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Lan smiled like a flower.

Ever since the Young Master of The Eastern Territory had been here a few times, Shangguan Li had changed a bit. He was no longer as gloomy and sometimes, he was even interested in new things.

When the two of them went out, Hua Ruge could not help but ask: "Tell me, why did you suddenly think of opening your eyes?"

"Not really. I just want to see how other people live." Shangguan Li replied indifferently.

Hua Ruge acknowledged this in her heart, but she did not intentionally guide him and only said, "If you want to come out again the next time you want to leave, and you just happen to feel that you are missing a companion, come and find me anytime."

"Forget it, I don't want to mess with your man." Shangguan Li shook his head as he listened.

"He might be a little petty, but not this small."

Shangguan Li laughed, and did not say a word.

The two of them walked around the street, and then went to the teahouse to sit for a while. As they sat on the second floor, they could see the resplendent light outside of Yan Du City. It was Tuoba Ruyi and his men breaking the formation.

Shangguan Li retracted his gaze and said: "The destruction of the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace is right in front of us, your plan for the past year is worth it."

"Yeah, after the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace fell, it could be considered as settled."

"What's your next plan?"

"Married, yet went to find my mother." Hua Ruge said.

Shangguan Li nodded: "That's right."

"What about you?"

"I don't have any special plans. I'll just leave it as it is." Shangguan Li looked into the distance, his voice somewhat distant.

Hua Ruge looked at her and asked: "You should also be planning for yourself."

Shangguan Li only shook his head, and did not say anything.

The great battle in the distance began from morning, and even at night, Tuoba Rui and Jun Tianxia still had not broken through the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace's great defensive array.

Although he had yet to break through the formation, he could tell that the strength of the formation was becoming weaker and weaker. As long as he could attack for a while longer, he would be able to break through it.

"I think if this goes on, we'll consume too much manpower. Let's split up and attack." Jun Tianxia said.

Tuoba Rui nodded his head, "I also have that intention."

As a result, under Tuoba Rui's command, the attacking group split into three groups. The formation continued to rotate.

"How long does it take?" Tuoba Rui asked.

"It should be around tomorrow morning." Jun Tianxia evaluated.

Tuoba Rui nodded. After losing this last barrier, the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace's disciples were completely exposed under their blades, unable to escape.

"Last time, when we played chess, you said that I was considerate and you were very correct."

After a moment of silence, Jun Tianxia was the first to speak.

Hearing him say this, Tuoba Rui asked, "Is it related to me, no, to Xiao Ge?"

If it was something that was not important, he was sure that Jun Tianxia would not say it at this time.

"It's about her." Jun Tianxia muttered to himself for a bit before continuing, "A few days ago, Mr Shen saw her and said that the infernal energy in her soul had shown signs of increasing."

"What?" Tuoba Rui raised his eyebrows and asked: "Will your baleful aura even increase?"

"Mr Shen only found out after checking that the infernal energy has automatically absorbed other similar auras." Jun Tianxia said worriedly.

Tuoba Rui's heart had already sunk.

How could there be less baleful aura in the world? If this continued, the baleful aura in Hua Ruge's mind would become stronger and stronger, and once she grew to the point where Hua Ruge's rationality could not suppress her, she would become a demon that had lost her sense of self.

How could this be?

Tuoba Rui took a deep breath and said, "Looking at you, it seems like it will be very difficult to save you, right?"

"Mr Shen said that her own soul's power must surpass that of the Myriad Spirit Pill in order to remove the baleful aura within it. Others have no choice but to do so." Jun Tianxia was also feeling helpless when she said this.

After all, baleful qi was also a part of Hua Ruge's soul, so attacking baleful qi meant attacking the soul. That's why outsiders can't help.1

Tuoba Rui closed his eyes, his expression revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.

They were two men who were unrestrained and talented. The only person who could make things difficult for them was Hua Ruge.

"Does that mean we can only control her and not let her appear in a place with thick infernal energy?" After a long while, Tuoba Rui asked.

Jun Tianxia nodded: "Mr Shen said so. However, this is not the way to go about it. We still need to find a solution as soon as possible. "

"Yes." Tuoba Rui agreed with him.

This was the only way.

The great battle continued, but the two people's thoughts were not on this. Tuoba Rui looked at the people who were constantly being repelled back to their deaths or injuries, and felt lucky that he had not allowed Hua Ruge to come to this kind of place.

On the morning of the second day, the Demonic Clock smashed down on the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace's grand formation, causing it to crumble uncontrollably.
