Xin Qian and Ji Nian had now been in front of Rong Peng. Xin Qian fought with Rong Peng, whereas Ji Nian fought with those demons.
"Xin Qian, it's great to see you after such a long time."
"Rong Peng, I didn't think you'd be back this soon."
"Why, Xin Qian? Are you afraid that today I will defeat you?"
"That's not going to happen, Rong Peng! I won't let you do it!"
"Xin Qian, I am Rong Peng. Whatever I'm going to do, the sky's going to agree. For now I am the Queen of darkness. I am the Queen of darkness."
"Don't be arrogant, Rong Peng! I'll make sure your laugh is your last laugh."
"If you're that strong, let's fight and let's show you who's the strongest among us."
Rong Peng started attacking Xin Qian with his long stick, whereas Xin Qian attacked him with just bare hands.
Ji Nian fought a horde of demons by himself, but fortunately he was able to take down those demons one by one.
Somehow now Xin Qian was beginning to be overwhelmed facing Rong Peng alone. He had never expected that Rong Peng's strength would grow that strong.
Rong Peng made Xin Qian flung backwards with just a single streak of cane. This time Xin Qian could not underestimate Rong Peng. Rong Peng laughed as he saw that his enemy could be defeated so easily.
"Xin Qian, what happened to you? Are you weak now that there's no more soul mates here?"
"I won't lose that easily, Rong Peng!"
Xin Qian bounced back and attacked Rong Peng using the earth element to make Rong Peng buried inside. But an unexpected event happened, Rong Peng instead pulled Xin Qian's foot and carried her into the ground.
The two of them fought inside the ground for a while, after which they appeared and fought in the air.
Ji Nian started to worry about Xin Qian, because he knew that Rong Peng had now become stronger than before.
Rong Peng took out strength from within his staff and attacked Xin Qian. Instantly Xin Qian could not fight anymore and her mouth spat out blood.
Ji Nian immediately flew into the air and attacked Rong Peng silently. Xin Qian fell down and Ji Nian caught her.
Ji Nian immediately took Xin Qian away using teleportation science. Rong Peng was furious, for one more step he could kill Xin Qian. But Ji Nian took him away.
Rong Peng smiled. "You can't get away from me. Wherever you go, I will find you.
After that, Rong Peng left and was followed by an army of demons.
The atmosphere in Peacelavia was very quiet. Everyone in the house is now scattering out, because they no longer see a fight.
Not long after, suddenly from the sky scattered blue-colored ash. People who inhale the ash will immediately feel shortness of breath and fever for days, even they will die if not treated immediately.
It turns out that the ashes were deliberately spread by Rong Peng. Because he wanted to see everyone who sided with Xin Qian suffer.

Lian was now in a dense and shady forest. He didn't know which way to hide.
But Zhulong advised him to go in a direction that no human had ever crossed. Because of every path that humans have traveled, demons will also pass through that path.
"Zhulong, are you sure we'll make our own way?"
"Betters and good demons often make their own way to avoid humans or demons."
Lian walked very carefully while carrying Zhulong. Without them knowing, it turns out that the road they took is a way to a hiding place of the animals.
Lian and Zhulong were so amazed by the beauty of the place. Zhulong was reminded of the beautiful land that Xin Qian had created for the good demons within the palace.
"That's lovely. Did humans make a place this beautiful?"
"Humans can't do this."
"I."
Lu Xiang came over followed by a tiger. How shocked Zhulong was when she saw Lu Xiang's face that was very similar to Zhang Pei's.
"Master Zhang Pei? You still alive?" Zhulong was surprised, but also pleased.
"Who are you? Why do you call me master Zhang Pei?" ask Lu Xiang.
"Master, don't you recognize me at all? I am Zhulong and my Master is Xin Qian."
"I'm sorry, I really don't know you."
"What happened to you, Master? Have you lost your memory?"
"My name is Lu Xiang and I am not Zhang Pei! If you're just here to disturb my composure, you better get out of here!"
"Uncle, don't drive us out of here. We're looking for a safe place to hide, so the demons can't find us."
"The demons?"
"He was the son of the last Queen of Peacelavia, Xin Qian. The demons are after them."
Lu Xiang saw clearly that the gemstone of the Peacelavia country was inside Lian's body. He then remembered the advice of his teacher to always protect the person who sealed the gemstone inside his body.
"So, you're the son of a Queen?"
"really. Uncle is also the son of a Queen."
"What do you mean?"
"The mother once said to me that all women who are good and can protect others deserve to be called a Queen."
"Uncle's mother must have always protected Uncle, until finally Uncle became a man who matures like this."
"I now understand why the demons are after him." Lu Xiang nodded.
"Uncle, does Uncle also have half-stealth blood like me?"
"Do you know what a demon is?"
"Of course I know. Uncle can talk to animals just like me, that means Uncle is a demon."
"You're right. I do have half-stealth blood like you."
"But, Uncle. Mother is a pure human being, why can Mother talk to animals?"
"It's impossible if your mother could talk to animals."
"I'm not lying to Uncle."
"alright. What's yourname?"
"Lian."
"Lian, can you hold out your palm?"
Lian stretched out her palm and Lu Xiang held onto it. Lu Xiang continued to look into Lian's eyes because he wanted to read her mind, but somehow Lu Xiang couldn't read Lian's mind at all.
"This is the first time I can't read someone else's mind. Is that really this kid? To the extent that I myself could not read his mind, "his mind.
"Uncle, does Uncle want to read my mind?"
"How do you know that?"
"Because I can read other people's minds just by looking into their eyes."
