“Nonsense. You can see a view like this at Heavenly Palace Cliff as much as you want.” Feng Qingtian drank two glasses of wine and let Ye Huai and Qin Shou go.
Gu Bailu chuckled. “The scenery at Heavenly Palace Cliff is lifeless. Look at the starry sky and the desert under the night sky. It’s so desolate… It makes one sigh.”
Feng Qingtian nodded. “You’re right.”
“How did it go?” Gu Bailu rubbed his hands.
They were cold.
“I’ve already set a trap. Let’s see if he jumps into it or not.” Feng Qingtian smiled. “I have secret guards watching the place. They’ll report if there’s any news.”
“The Archfiend might be capable, but he’s not very smart. He probably doesn’t expect us to come after him and beat him up.”
That was the normal train of thought. If you stole something from someone, you should be hiding now.
Who would bring a bunch of people over for a fight after stealing something?
“If he was smart, he wouldn’t be used by Heavenly Palace Cliff and still not be aware of it.” Feng Qingtian despised the Archfiend.
While Feng Qingtian had been framed in his previous life, he couldn’t go so far as to say that he hated it; he had fallen into the trap himself so that he could do things over.
Otherwise, he and Gu Bailu would never have the harmonious love which they currently enjoyed.
The Archfiend and Demon King really thought that they had killed him back then.
And they were still gloating about it.
“The most hateful thing is still that bunch at Heavenly Palace Cliff. I won’t be able to get rid of my hate if I don’t cut them up into pieces.” Gu Bailu got angry when she brought them up.
She didn’t actually care much about power or ruling over the six realms.
But she couldn’t let them off so easily.
If Gu Yunjing hadn’t pierced her with the sword back then while she was about to be annihilated in the Fire of Hell, she really might have lost her soul.
Gu Yunjing…
Gu Bailu still felt regret when she thought of him. She didn’t even dare meet him now.
She felt that she had let him down.
Some love was too deep and profound, and really too stressful.
“It’s fine. We’ll dispose of them when we get back.” Feng Qingtian comforted her.
The two of them drank for an hour. Feng Qingtian was afraid that Gu Bailu would be ill if she drank too much, so he stopped her.
Early the next morning, a secret guard reported, “Some prey have already been caught in the trap we set yesterday.”
Gu Bailu and Feng Qingtian looked at each other, and hurried into the desert.
The Archfiend and his subordinates had returned to the desert to look for the entrance to Fiend’s Lair after suffering a defeat in Rising Clouds Empire. In fact, they had spent more than half a year in the desert.
He couldn’t find the entrance to Fiend’s Lair, even though he knew that Gu Bailu had tampered with the map.
When he had found out, Gu Bailu had already become Princess Zi, and he couldn’t get close to threaten her anymore.
Even the ghost army was useless now.
He could only search the entire desert.
And he was rewarded for his determination. He really found Fiend’s Lair last night…
Under the night sky, the entrance to Fiend’s Lair shone brightly, exuding powerful magic which gave the Archfiend a strong sense of familiarity.
He hurried over to take a look. It really was the entrance to Fiend’s Lair.
The Archfiend was so excited that he almost cried.
Of course, he wasn’t someone who had something like tears.
Then, he led the ghost army toward his home, and jumped into the entrance to Fiend’s Lair.
But…
After jumping in, it wasn’t the air of the Fiend Realm which greeted him, but a death trap which he couldn’t escape.
They were surrounded by a barrier!
