"It's okay, they won't co to any harm. I promise you!"
Yang Yan said with determination on his face, then he continued:
"Let take you ho first, alright?"
"Okay."
Ruyi nodded obediently, holding onto Yang Yan's hand, staying close by his side as they left together.
When they appeared outside, the Beast King was gone, and the bodies of two Great Angels lay on the ground.
Seeing Yang Yan and Ruyi by his side, Ao Tian gave a slight smile as a greeting to Ruyi.
"Where's the Beast King?"
Yang Yan asked with a frown.
"Dead."
Ao Tian said casually.
"Dead?"
Yang Yan frowned, clearly skeptical.
Ao Tian suddenly laughed:
"Heh! How could that be possible... That guy ran away."
"He was afraid that once you showed up, he'd be finished, so he paid a price and fled with injuries."
Yang Yan shook his head helplessly.
He knew, although the Beast King was no match for Ice Emperor Ao Tian, he could escape by paying a price if he truly wanted to.
"Lucky for him he ran fast! Otherwise, I would have had him dismbered completely."
When Yang Yan said this, a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
There was no doubt that the Beast King was now on Yang Yan's must-kill list.
"Alright, alright, I know you're powerful. Happy now?"
Ao Tian turned to Ruyi, nodded, and smiled:
"Little girl still crying? It's good you're back, just good you're back."
"You have no idea, this guy's been losing sleep and appetite for you, he's beco mad."
Hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help but frown.
Although it was true, Ao Tian's teasing tone sowhat upset him.
"Let's go back first, we can discuss the matters later."
Yang Yan said calmly.
"Okay!"
Ao Tian knew exactly what Yang Yan was referring to, he imdiately nodded in agreent.
"What about them?"
Ruyi suddenly turned her head, looking towards the entrance.
There were still remnants left inside uneliminated; both she and Yang Yan were unwilling to let them go.
His gaze was chillingly cold as he asked:
"They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
"No."
Ruyi shook her head gently:
"Dad, I just don't want you to have more enemies in the future."
"Although these clowns are inconsequential to you, they are ultimately a nuisance."
"So, it's best to deal with them now."
Yang Yan rubbed Ruyi's head, and couldn't help but show a tender smile:
"You're overthinking, little girl. Those kind of people can't cause any trouble."
Ruyi nodded lightly but whispered:
"Still, since they're enemies, let's kill them!"
Seeing the determined look in the little girl's eyes, Yang Yan helplessly turned to Ao Tian.
Ao Tian was taken aback, pointing to himself with a bitter face, and said helplessly:
"Why again. Hey! Moonlight, you brat, I'm not your subordinate!"
Yang Yan shrugged indifferently and just grinned.
At least, rescuing Ruyi made him satisfied for now.
However, figuring out where the other won were being held was still a headache for him.
He didn't believe Manhattan would dare do anything to his won.
However, holding them separately only increased the difficulty of rescuing Zhou Hanyun and the others.
Watching as Yang Yan and Ruyi gradually walked away, the Ice Emperor Ao Tian standing in place couldn't help but grit his teeth.
In the end, he let out a helpless sigh, picked up the curved blade in his hand, and obediently walked towards the entrance.
"You damned guys, you're really a buzzkill!"
The rest of those in the Underground Palace naturally beca Ao Tian's punching bags.
Yang Yan left with Ruyi.
His return was like an adrenaline shot for his subordinates.
In the following days, Yang Yan stayed at ho with Ruyi.
Because Han Ruyu and the others knew Ruyi had been traumatized, they all left their matters aside to accompany the little girl every day.
Their simple goal was to help Ruyi move out of the shadows soon.
But only Yang Yan knew, aside from worrying about Zhou Hanyun and the others, Ruyi wasn't really traumatized.
In fact, once the heavenly faction realized the gravity of the situation, they dared not trouble Zhou Hanyun and the others.
"Moonlight Emperor, we've been here for many days, ti for us to leave, isn't it?"
Ao Tian lazily leaned on the sofa; he had enjoyed himself very much at Yang Yan's place these days.
"We will leave when it's ti."
Yang Yan was sitting at his desk, looking down at sothing, without raising his eyes.
"Speaking of which, that Manhattan guy is really a coward!"
"Knowing that we destroyed one of his bases, took out a lot of his n, and rescued Ruyi, he didn't make any move at all."
Ao Tian complained, feeling slightly bored.
"What do you want him to do then?"
Yang Yan suddenly looked up at him and asked with a slight amusent.
"Of course not... Hmm! Whatever he does is better than doing nothing now, right?"
Ao Tian imdiately laughed off his own statent.
"He has indeed taken action. Moreover, I feel it's definitely not simple. As the saying goes, 'a storm is brewing'."
Yang Yan remained calm in expression, but anyone could hear the heavy undertones in his voice.
Ao Tian sneered:
"That would be better. Rather than idling around, it's better to find sothing to do."
Yang Yan nodded slightly before continuing:
"But before that, we need to go sowhere."
"Where? Do you an that base?"
Ao Tian asked imdiately.
Earlier, the man in the black robe had drawn out a location of one of Manhattan's Arctic bases.
In their view, it wasn't difficult to find.
It was about eight kiloters east from the base Yang Yan and they destroyed.
Relatively speaking, it was quite a large stronghold.
"No, we're going to visit our allies."
Yang Yan said seriously, looking at the invitation card in his hand.
"Who?"
Ao Tian looked curious and walked from the sofa to Yang Yan's side.
With just one glance, he saw the two words on the surface of the invitation —
Hell.
"Satan?"
Ao Tian asked in disbelief:
"Why's he contacting you?"
"Well, more like an ally."
Yang Yan said in a grave tone:
"In the current situation, having one more powerful ally can't hurt, right?"
Ao Tian opened his mouth, then smiled wryly and nodded.
Yang Yan also smiled, sprang to his feet, and walked out.
This ti, Yang Yan didn't bring any subordinates, but simply gave a heads up and departed with Ao Tian.
The next day, the sky was clear and blue.
In front of a towering castle, two nearly invisible figures stood upright like statues.
The two emitted no aura whatsoever, as if they were part of the surroundings.
