"So the old demon crone was suppressed here, ah. I can't believe I never noticed before. If I had known, I would have drained that old demon dry. But it's not too late; I'm curious to see where you'll flee to now."
The Demon Venerable flashed, tracking the direction in which the evil energy was dissipating.

Ran Qingchen managed to inform Li Nanshuang, Mr. Zhao, and the others of the safe locations on the map, and everyone split up to carry out the rescue mission.
At this moment, Ran Qingchen arrived near Jinse Pavilion, just in time to rescue a mother and daughter who were trapped under slabs of stone, and he happened to encounter Lu Renjia.
Lu Renjia's body bore multiple burn marks, his hair disheveled, looking as if he had crawled out of a beggar's den.
"Lu Renjia!"
