At the entrance to the Ten-thousand Blood Pool!

Long Yu was staring at Wang Ke. Her short time spent with him was enough to find the reason he had become as influential and successful when dealing with both the righteous and the demonic circles.

However, Zi Bufan thought for a bit and realized that something was off.

"Wang Ke! Do you want to die? How dare you humiliate me by offering a doll substitute?" Zi Bufan said with raging eyes. "Uhh, Parlor Lord Zi, let's talk things out nicely. Chill, chill! You can always pose your concerns if you’re unsatisfied in any area! My words come from the heart; it's all for your own good!" said Wang Ke to coax her.

He was feeling rather annoyed.

However, Zi Bufan roared back, "Good my *ss! This is my life; why are you such a busybody? Get lost!"

Wang Ke's face froze.

"Parlor Lord Zi, please calm down. Please calm down! Let's talk a little more!" Wang Ke wanted to continue.

Meanwhile, Long Yu was speechless.

"Crack!"

The wine glass broke into pieces; she was just about to jump at Wang Ke.

The latter was shocked. But then, another woman's voice was heard, coming from behind them. "Hongyi? How did you end up like this?" It was She Qingqing, who had found her way over. She saw the unconscious Zhu Hongyi at the pool's center the moment she arrived.

"She Qingqing?" Zi Bufan's face turned grim as she looked at her rival.

Wang Ke also looked back, dazed. "Tong An'an really went to get you?"

Only then did She Qingqing realize who the others were. "Zi Bufan? What happened to Hongyi?" She Qingqing asked with a raging stare.

But Wang Ke answered instead, "Se Yutian used the Enamoring Spell on Zhu Hongyi so he would forget you and fall in love with Zi Bufan!"

"What?" She Qingqing was fuming. She dashed toward Zhu Hongyi as she spoke, her sword at the ready to cut off the chains binding him.

"I dare you!" Zi Bufan roared in anger.

"Whoosh!"She appeared right before Zhu Hongyi in a flash, her saber drawn to take on She Qingqing.

"Boooom......!"

Their weapons clashed, causing a powerful shockwave. Wang Ke quickly carried Long Yu to one side.

"Enamoring Spell? Zhu Hongyi will die if it fails! Zi Bufan, you’re killing Hongyi!" She Qingqing shouted with a glare. "Humph! You were the one who forced me. Why would I need to do this to Hongyi if it wasn’t for you? If I can't get him, neither will you!" Zi Bufan screamed back with a sinister look.

"Get out of the way!" She Qingqing made another slash attack.

"You should be the one to get lost!" Zi Bufan shouted.

"Booooom!"

Their battle generated a mighty tempest, spreading across the blood pool and stirring up waves; soil and rocks were swept up into the air all around them.

Their fight frustrated Wang Ke to no end.

Wang Ke braced the storm and shouted to the pair, "Both of you, be careful! Zhu Hongyi is still unconscious! The shockwaves of your fight could hurt him!" The reminder shocked them.

"Booooom!"

Following an explosion, the two women soared into the sky. None of them wanted Zhu Hongyi to get hurt.

"Wang Ke, quick! Wake Zhu Hongyi up!" She Qingqing roared from high above.

But before he could reply, a black-robed man immediately blocked the way. He was the person She Qingqing had forcefully appointed as her guide. Since she was no longer there, the guy took action and tried to stop Wang Ke.

"Humph, Wang Ke, no one would dare spoil the Parlor Lord's plan while I’m around! None of you will make it out, now that they’re making such a big scene! The Parlor Lord will tear you all into ten thousand pieces!" That black clad fellow jumped at Wang Ke fiercely.

Just as Wang Ke wanted to retaliate—

"Booooom!"

The black-robed man exploded. This really took Wang Ke by surprise.

"Uhh? I haven't even hit him! Why did he explode just like that?" Wang Ke gasped.

But Long Yu analyzed the situation and said, "It was probably She Qingqing; she activated a Lightning Bead's token and made that demon explode to clear the way for you!"magic
