"It's me." He chuckled softly. "Long time no see."
Fu Shanqing thought he would panic, but to his surprise, his face remained calm, which made him appear aggressive.
"Sorry, I don't have time to catch up with you right now." Without glancing at the three of them again, he said to Shen Ange beside him, "Let's go."
But as soon as he moved his foot, Bai Lengxia stepped forward and asked, "Did I say you could leave?"
As a disciple of the Medicine Sect Master, Bai Lengxia possessed exceptional immortal qualities. The moment she unleashed her overwhelming aura, Shen Ange's heart skipped a beat.
Fu Mingxu stopped and looked at him: "What do you mean by this?"
“Mingxu, we haven’t seen each other for so long. It’s like a family reunion after a long separation. Why are you in such a hurry to leave instead of staying for a chat?” Fu Shanqing walked up to him, his eyes arrogant. “Besides, with your level of cultivation, it will be difficult for you to navigate the secret realm. If you encounter bad people, do you expect Shen Ange to stand in front of you and take the blows for you?”
Fu Mingxu glanced at him and said calmly, "Are you referring to you as the bad guys?"
Shen Ange said coldly, "You all should take care of yourselves. Don't bother with me."
Bai Lengxia remembered his master's instructions and became even more hostile towards Fu Mingxu. He glanced at Shen Ange and said, "You can leave. That way, I'll have one less killing to do."
His expression was icy cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Ange's expression changed drastically. She channeled her spiritual energy into her hand and blocked Fu Mingxu's path. "I heard that City Lord Han and others are guests at the Medicine Sect. Is this how you treat your guests?"
Bai Lengxia's waist tag was too obvious. Although she didn't recognize the person, she could tell who he was at a glance.
Fu Mingxu reached out and pulled her behind him, her clear eyes staring directly into his eyes: "You want to kill me."
Bai Lengxia sneered: "Looks like you're not stupid after all."
For him, without Han Tao's protection, crushing Fu Mingxu would be as easy as stepping on an ant.
The expected fear did not appear on his face. Fu Mingxu glanced at the other two and said, "You knew all along, didn't you?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to follow Bai Lengxia.
Fu Shanqing avoided eye contact, not denying it. Fu Haoren, however, had a palpable resentment in his eyes, it was unclear whether it was directed at Fu Mingxu or Shen Ange.
"Let my friend go." Fu Mingxu blocked Shen Ange.
Bai Lengxia lazily lifted her eyelids and glanced at him: "Now that she has recognized my identity, do you think she can leave?"
"I'll take your life."
He pointed at Shen Ange and smiled cruelly: "As for her, she was Haoren's fiancée after all. Wouldn't it be perfect to cripple her cultivation and hand her over to her fiancé?"
Fu Mingxu's heart sank. Chaotic energy condensed in his palm, and dragon flames leaped in his dantian. He looked at the three people and uttered two words in an extremely cold tone: "Dream on!"
Enraged by him, Bai Lengxia raised her hand and a flash of light appeared, her killing intent palpable.

Chapter 50
A fiery red whip slashed through the air first, and the intense spiritual energy caused the surrounding temperature to rise.
The Taoist magic collided with the fire spirit, producing a loud "bang".
Shen Ange was forced back two steps by the huge impact, and felt numbness in the mouth of her hands.
Bai Lengxia didn't expect her to make a move so directly. The anger in her chest was ignited instantly. In the blink of an eye, she ignored Fu Mingxu, leaped up, and engaged Shen Ange in a fierce battle.
"Don't come any closer!" Shen Ange waved her whip, not forgetting to turn back and remind him.
"You'd better take care of yourself!" Bai Lengxia showed no mercy.
The two had exchanged dozens of moves in the blink of an eye. Shen Ange was clearly at a disadvantage, but she was very experienced and had always been on the verge of life and death, so she was able to temporarily hold her own against him.
But Fu Mingxu knew that the closer it got to the end, the more obvious her disadvantages would become.
"Are you always going to hide behind others?" Fu Shanqing glanced at him disdainfully, looking down at him. "Besides this body you use to please others, what else do you have?"
Fu Mingxu's expression was indifferent, his coldness mixed with anger: "Shut up! What else can you do besides have a glib tongue? You're nothing but a sycophant who hides behind others and uses their power to bully them."
Having said that, he no longer cared about the demon bone chain around his ankle. The chaotic energy merged into the dragon flame and split in two in his palm.
Fu Shanqing felt the golden-red flames leaping in his palm, and an overwhelming sense of crisis washed over him. He subconsciously took two steps back.
When he realized what he had done, he was almost hurt by the disdain in Fu Mingxu's eyes.
Enraged, Fu Shanqing raised his knife and attacked him.
Shen Ange caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of her eye, and her heart skipped a beat as she cried out, "Watch out!"
Because of her momentary lapse in concentration, Bai Lengxia seized the opportunity to find a flaw in her whip technique and unleashed a Daoist spell imbued with killing intent.
Shen Ange's alarm bells rang loudly, but she could no longer avoid it. She simply flicked her whip and advanced instead of retreating, her surging fire spirit energy transforming into a fire dragon that flew towards her opponent.
"You're courting death!" Bai Lengxia was not afraid at all, and did not forget to sneer, "A petty trick."
Shen Ange remained silent, gritting her teeth and enduring it.
All of this happened in just two breaths, and on the other side, the tip of Fu Shanqing's knife was getting closer and closer to Fu Mingxu.
Just then, the chaotic energy and the dragon flames had perfectly merged. With a thought, Fu Mingxu sent two balls of flame, carrying the force of thunder, sweeping towards Fu Shanqing and Bai Lengxia.
Then, he turned his hand over and the Heaven and Earth Mystic Mirror appeared in his hand.
He drew the chaotic energy in his dantian to his palm and then poured it into the Heaven and Earth Mystic Mirror.
"Go!" Fu Mingxu gave a low shout, and the Heaven and Earth Mystic Mirror emitted a white light that enveloped everyone within it.
The demon bone chain tightened around his ankle in an instant, embedding itself into his flesh once more. He groaned in pain, but dared not stop what he was doing.
In an instant, the heavens reversed course; in the white light, his legs went weak, and an abnormal flush appeared on his cheeks.
Fu Shanqing's long knife pierced the air, but a wound appeared in his chest.
At the same time, Bai Lengxia's murderous Daoist technique entered Shen Ange's body, but not only was the other party unharmed, he himself fell to the ground as if he had suffered a serious injury, vomiting blood with a "whoosh" and unable to move. Shen Ange watched all this in shock, almost dropping the whip in his hand in fright.
The chaotic energy in his body was instantly drained, and the residual aura in the previously suppressed demon bone chain ring began to continuously invade Fu Mingxu's flesh and blood again. The heavenly light after the Heavenly Mystery Mirror was activated disappeared, and a blue-green ring was inlaid around the outer edge of his black pupils.
"Mingxu!" Shen Ange reacted and quickly ran over to check on him. "How are you?"
Looking at the Heaven and Earth Mirror in his hand, and recalling the previous rumors, she immediately understood that he had saved her.
"It's nothing." Fu Mingxu tried hard to control the heat rising within him, biting his lip to prevent it from spilling out.
The Heaven and Earth Mirror disappeared, and he bent over, his palms supporting him on the ground, looking anything but unharmed.
Fu Haoren was terrified by the sight of Fu Shanqing, whose life was hanging in the balance, especially since Bai Lengxia was also lying on the side, unable to straighten up. He rolled his eyes and quietly retreated slowly.
"Ah!" The sound of a whip whistling through the air rang out, and Fu Haoren screamed in agony.
Shen Ange gripped the whip tightly, ignoring the wounds on his body, and said coldly, "I've wanted to beat you up for a long time."
Fu Haoren was so frightened that he wet himself, completely forgetting his former glory. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "An Ge, please spare me."
Shen Ange gave him a cold look, then lashed out with her whip again: "Get lost!"
"Fine, I'll get out of here right now!" Fu Haoren was so frightened that he couldn't stand up and crawled away.
"Wait a minute." Shen Ange noticed the water stains on his clothes and frowned, suppressing her nausea. "Take Fu Shanqing away."
Fu Haoren trembled all over, not daring to look at her, and hurriedly dragged Fu Shanqing, whose face was as pale as paper, away.
Considering they came from the same city, Shen Ange didn't want to deal with them personally, so he simply let them fend for themselves in the secret realm.
Will Fu Haoren treat Fu Shanqing's injuries?
She might not think so.
Before Bai Lengxia could figure out how things had happened, the backlash from the Daoist magic caused her to vomit a lot of blood, and she lay on the ground, her breath weak.
Where exactly did we go wrong?
Isn't Fu Mingxu just an ordinary person? Even though he was recognized as the master of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Mirror, it was only because of Han Tao's help. Why can he use the Heaven and Earth Mystic Mirror?
In his view, Fu Mingxu would at most have the mirror spirit inside take action, but the mirror spirit would be affected by its master's cultivation level and should not pose any threat to him.
His cultivation level was the highest here, which was why he was so fearless.
Bai Lengxia was completely unable to move; his strongest attack had landed squarely on his own body.
He stared at Shen Ange, who was completely unharmed, and suddenly felt a sense of fear.
Will she kill herself?
Definitely! No one will leave something unattended!
Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Ange's back as she focused solely on checking on Fu Mingxu's condition, and a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.
Just then, a sword light pierced through the air and stabbed fiercely into Bai Lengxia's dantian.
Shen Ange was startled. When she turned around, she saw Li Chixue, who had left earlier, standing there with her sword in hand, blood dripping continuously from the tip of the sword.
"Thank goodness we came." Yan Yun patted his chest and ran out from behind, pointing to the dead Bai Lengxia and said, "You are also a Golden Core cultivator, how come you don't know that the enemy's last powerful attack before death is the most lethal?"
If he and his senior brother hadn't arrived at the right time, the situation would probably be unpredictable now.
"Thank you." Shen Ange felt a wave of fear when she saw the light that had just dissipated. She had been so worried about Fu Mingxu that she had forgotten about Bai Lengxia's existence.
Li Chixue sheathed her sword, took a long stride, and walked towards the two of them.
Fu Mingxu remained bent over, but his shoulders trembled slightly as he did not raise his head, as if he were enduring immense pain.
"What's wrong with him?" Li Chixue took two quick steps and grabbed his arm.
"Hmm."
The pain in his ankle, which had just eased a little, returned, and Fu Mingxu couldn't help but cry out in pain, a trace of sweat escaping his lips.
Li Chixue froze, finally realizing that something was wrong with him.
"Let me go." Fu Mingxu was in excruciating pain. The aura inside the demon bone chain was wreaking havoc. He was experiencing a surge of heat within his body, yet he instinctively resisted the approaching chill.
Seeing the stalemate between the two, Shen Ange quickly helped him up and placed him on a clean patch of grass.
The sudden sunlight made it impossible for him to open his eyes. Fu Mingxu reached out to shield his eyes from the light, lying on his back. The teeth marks on his lips, where he had bitten himself, were tinged with a faint blood, indicating that he had used a great deal of force.
