Rui Ze looked out of the window. It was the time when the vampire guards changed shifts. Rui Ze planned to take advantage of this gap and escape.

Unexpectedly, a shadow appeared in front of the guard who was about to change, and then took away two groups of soldiers. Rui Ze was taken aback for a moment, then realized that it was Yi secretly helping her to escape!

Rui Ze quickly jumped out of the window and quietly hid behind the wall. She waited for the soldiers to go far away before stealthily leaving the palace.

Once outside the palace, Rui Ze let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks to the help of the Martial Angel, otherwise it would have been really troublesome," Rui Ze murmured.

Without thinking, Rui Ze quickened her pace. She had to leave the Shuowang Empire before dawn. If the housekeeper noticed her, she would definitely report to Iris. At that time, the whole empire would be under lockdown, and it would be difficult for her to leave.

Rui Ze arrived at the teleportation array. She needed to use it to teleport from Nightless City to Liru.

"Hello, may I help you with anything?" The guard in charge of guarding the teleportation array stopped Rui Ze.

"My sister sent me a letter saying that our mother is critically ill, and I need to return to Liru immediately," Rui Ze said urgently.

"Go ahead and pay at the ticket counter. The teleportation array will be activated for you," the guard said politely.

"Thank you," Rui Ze immediately purchased a teleportation ticket from the ticket counter and headed towards the teleportation array.

As soon as she stepped onto the array, Rui Ze felt a flicker in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was already on the teleportation array connected to Liru.

It must be said that the vampire teleportation array was really convenient. By purchasing a teleportation ticket, one could directly arrive at the other end of the teleportation array. This was much faster than taking the magic train.

After leaving the teleportation point, Rui Ze looked around, searching for blind spots on the city walls to avoid being seen by the patrol teams.

If she couldn't find a way to leave, Rui Ze would open her spirit wings and fly high in the sky to forcefully break through. Since the Vampire Emperor was not here, she was confident in retreating from a few vampire warriors.

At that time, there were twenty-three vampire youths outside the empire. To ensure the safety of these students, there should be a blockade. How did these vampire youths leave the empire? Could it be through bribery? The vampire law was strict, and it was acceptable to bribe one or two vampire youths. But bribing twenty-three youths to leave the empire would be an act of seeking death.

They must have some special method of leaving the empire, or else they wouldn't dare to be so bold.

Rui Ze searched around the bottom of the city walls, occasionally paying attention to the patrolling guards to avoid being discovered.

By chance, she saw a loosely fitting stone in the corner of the city wall. Rui Ze approached it, picked up the stone, and discovered a dog hole. No wonder the twenty-three vampire youths were able to leave the capital, they used this method.

Since that's the case, she won't hold back.

Rui Ze walked over, moved the stone with her hand, then crouched down and skillfully crawled into the dog hole.

After some twists and turns, Rui Ze successfully crawled out of the dog hole.

"This opening is so small, I almost got stuck in there," Rui Ze patted her proud chest and mumbled to herself.

After leaving the dog hole, Rui Ze quickly ran towards the deep forest. This route was planned in advance. She would first cross the forest north of Liru, then cross several mountain ranges to reach the Twilight Valley Forest.

Soon after Rui Ze entered the forest north of Liru, a black-haired and silver-eyed girl in black clothes leaped down from a tree branch and blocked Rui Ze's way.

"Where are you going?" The voice of the girl sounded very young, but it carried a bone-chilling coldness.

Rui Ze was taken aback. How could someone block her way at this time? In the cover of the night, Rui Ze vaguely saw the outline of the girl. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Rui Ze was certain that the person was a female.

There was a sinister glint in the girl's golden-red eyes. Standing about five meters away from Rui Ze, she silently stared at her.

"I'm going home. Who are you?" Rui Ze asked cautiously.

"I'll ask again, where are you going?" The girl's tone became impatient. She raised her finger and made a gesture while a pale green light ball appeared in her palm. "I'll count to three. If you don't answer me, you'll stay in this forest forever!"

"I'm going..." Rui Ze deliberately dragged out the last syllable. A long spear appeared in her hand, its body red and radiating a scorching heat like magma. The flames flickered around the spearhead, giving it a particularly dangerous look. The spear's name was Blazing Sun.

Grasping Blazing Sun firmly, Rui Ze didn't hesitate as she thrust it towards the girl's forehead.

The girl immediately stopped her magic release, slightly turning her face to the side. The spear grazed her cheek, the fiery glow of the spearhead allowing Rui Ze to see the girl's face clearly.

Vampire Queen - Iris! It was actually her!

Iris summoned her silver winged spear to block Blazing Sun. The two spears collided, emitting dazzling sparks.

Rui Ze felt a shock through her wrist, almost losing her grip. She quickly retracted Blazing Sun and stumbled back two steps.

Rui Ze had just awakened as an angel, her sequence power not yet fully restored. Furthermore, her right arm was bound by Chaos Lock, which could suppress her sequence power. It meant that Rui Ze was no match for Iris, a Moth Emperor, unless the Martial Angel was present.

"Wearing the maid uniform of my palace, yet daring to leave without permission. According to the rules of the palace, it calls for a whipping and rubbing chili oil on your buttocks," Iris sneered. "Are you sure you want to defy my orders?"

Rui Ze pursed her lips and remained silent. She didn't expect vampires to have such a twisted form of punishment.

"Seems like you're unwilling to confess obediently. If caught by me, it won't just be whipping and rubbing chili oil," Iris's golden-red pupils brimmed with a bloodthirsty intent. "I hate spies the most."

Iris firmly grasped her silver winged spear and swiftly lunged towards Rui Ze, like a falling meteor, unstoppable. The powerful wind pressure caused mild pain on Rui Ze's skin.

Soon, Rui Ze found herself at a disadvantage, but she could neutralize each move of Iris and gradually stabilize the situation.

Iris initially thought her opponent was an expert in using spears, but as they continued to fight, Iris finally realized that she was wrong. It was clearly a disciple taught by a master.

Suddenly, from the handle of the spear, Iris pulled out a dark red sword. Swiftly approaching Rui Ze, the blade aimed for her chest and neck.

Threads of black energy coiled around the sword, showcasing its extraordinary power.

Rui Ze frantically tried to dodge, but her sleeve was still cut by the long sword, revealing her snow-white skin and slender arm.

Taking advantage of Rui Ze's distraction, Iris quickly closed in and kicked her in the abdomen.

Rui Ze was sent flying, heavily crashing onto the ground and clutching her stomach.

Just as she was about to get up, a dark red long sword pointed directly at her throat.

"Who taught you your marksmanship?" Iris stared at Rui Ze's eyes, her voice low. "Tell me, or you die!"

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you." Ruize responded, not forgetting her master's teachings to never reveal any information about him to outsiders.

As Ruize finished speaking, the sword in Iris' hand slowly approached Ruize's neck. "Then you can only say goodbye to this world," Iris said.

Just as Iris' sword was about to pierce Ruize's throat, flames suddenly erupted from within Ruize, instantly sending Iris flying and burning her.

"Cough... cough..." Iris fell to the ground in a sorry state, coughing up blood.

At this moment, Ruize slowly stood up, with a faintly visible flame sparrow behind her.

Iris stared wide-eyed at the flame sparrow in disbelief, thinking to herself: This is the characteristic of the sixth stage Yin Kong Spear Art.

With each stage, the user can condense an elusive flame sparrow. At the seventh stage, the sparrow and the user can blend together, giving the user a whole new appearance.

Currently, Iris only knew up to the fourth stage of the Yin Kong Spear Art, but she would be able to advance to the fifth stage in a month's time.

As the smoke dissipated, Ruize looked at Iris with a hint of surprise on her face. "You're still alive?" Her attack just now was enough to kill any vampire, and if not, it would at least cause serious injury.

"Hehe." Iris wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Ruize with malice. "Kill me? You're ten thousand years too early for that."

As she spoke, black flames began to burn on Iris' body, and the Dragonwood Jade Pendant around her waist also lit up, emitting a soft green light that enveloped her. With the dual healing ability of +vampires, the injuries on Iris' body were visibly healing at a rapid pace.

Iris flexed her wrist, causing a crisp sound of chains colliding. Five wicked fire chains extended from her right shoulder blade, coiling like snakes.

"The game of teasing the mouse is over, now it's time to hunt it down," Iris sneered, waving her right hand as the wicked fire chains rushed towards Ruize.

Ruize quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the wicked fire chains brushing past her ear. The scorching heat made her hair stand on end.

Once entangled, her Sequence power would be completely sealed, leaving only her mortal body. How could she then help His Majesty the Ruler establish a world without evil?

Iris tried to condense White Flame with her left hand, but it wouldn't take shape, resisting her efforts.

"What are you doing?" Iris looked angrily at her own left hand. "Give me the fire, quickly."

"Dammit!" Iris couldn't help but curse. Even without White Flame, she could still kill this spy.

Immediately, five more wicked fire chains swept towards Ruize.

With a total of ten wicked fire chains, Ruize had nowhere to run. Iris looked at Ruize, her mood improving. "Just wait patiently to be slaughtered by me."

Ruize wielded the Flaming Sun Spear, desperately blocking the wicked fire chains. But there were simply too many chains, and there would always be a weak spot in any defense.

One of the wicked fire chains was about to lock around Ruize's neck when Iris' left hand, out of her control, suddenly condensed a platinum-colored flame and attacked the chain.

The platinum-colored flame spread upon touching the wicked fire chain, burning back along the chain and towards Iris herself.

"Ah~!" Iris screamed in pain as the wicked fire chain returned to her right hand, where the White Flame was burning, causing her to almost faint from the agony.

Chaos immediately used all of its power to heal Iris' injuries and alleviate the burning pain caused by the White Flame.

In an instant, white flames and black flames intertwined. The white flames burned, while the black flames healed.

Ruize witnessed this scene and raised an eyebrow. "Haha, Iris, your actions now perfectly exemplify the meaning of the proverb 'playing with fire and getting burnt.'"

"Shut up!" Iris gritted her teeth. "Even so, I can still take your life."

With Chaos easing the pain caused by the burning, she picked up her Silver Wing Gun and charged towards Ruize again, determined to kill her!

Ruize defended herself with her Sunfire Gun. After a round of battle, Iris's left hand was causing chaos, always disoriented at critical moments.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, breathing was rapid, and her face was pale.

Why, why was this happening? Every time she tried to harm her enemy, her left hand would go out of control. This feeling was terrible!

Ruize found Iris to be strange. Every time she tried to hurt herself, her left hand would interrupt her attack.

"Mad! The Cybertronian language isn't enough to describe..." Iris muttered numerous Cybertronian curses to her left hand.

The image of the cold and aloof Queen instantly crumbled, leaving Ruize dumbfounded on the other side.

Chaos was also taken aback. In all their years of knowing Iris, it was the first time seeing her so irritable.

After a stream of Cybertronian language, Iris's anger subsided a bit. But the White Flame on her body burned more fiercely, with the Black Flame rising as well.

Iris took off the ring on her left hand, which immediately transformed into the Chaos Key. "You and I will definitely end up on the ground today."

At this moment, Iris had made up her mind to go all out. "Vampire girl, are you crazy? There's no need to risk your life! If you can't harm her, let the Demon General take care of it."

Iris no longer listened to Chaos's persuasion. She was about to plunge the Chaos Key into her own chest, unlocking her full potential.

The White Flame attacked Iris's heart along her meridians. Immediately, she spat out blood and fell limply to the ground.

Iris widened her eyes, unwillingly looking at Ruize.

"Why... why... why did this happen?!" Iris couldn't believe what she was seeing, her eyes filled with shock. How could her own White Flame attack her?

Chaos continued to resist the White Flame. Although Iris was unconscious, the burning White Flame on her body remained, and he couldn't control Iris's body.

At this moment, Iris was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.

Through this confrontation, Ruize knew that Iris had another identity. In terms of seniority, Ruize could call her "sister" or "senior sister."

Did Iris not know that the White Flame was restricted?

The White Flame had consciousness. It should have determined that Ruize belonged to the Ling Guang lineage through the sixth-order Yin Kong, the faintly visible flame sparrow that Ruize displayed. It triggered the punishment mechanism.

Iris belonged to the same faction and had harmed her own kind, so naturally, she would be punished. Although Ruize used the sixth-order Yin Kong to repel Iris, she did not receive any punishment from the White Flame. It could only mean that the White Flame deemed Ruize's attack ineffective against Iris.

Indeed, with the help of the Black Flame and the Dragonwood Jade Pendant, the wounds visibly healed.

Iris's attack on Ruizhe is different, it can really kill people.

Ruizhe stepped forward, crouched down and said, "It's normal for my sister not to recognize me. I have forgiven her, and the punishment should end."

As Ruizhe's voice fell, the White Flame gradually extinguished, and Iris fell into a coma, losing consciousness.

Black Flame and the Dragonwood Jade Pendant treated the burns on Iris's body. After a while, the burns on Iris's body faded away, revealing fair and smooth skin without any scars.

At this time, Iris's hands and feet moved, her eyes were no longer golden red, but pure red.

"Emperor of Demons?" Ruizhe shouted tentatively.

Iris slowly stood up, a black flame blocking her, obscuring Ruizhe's view.

With the disappearance of the black flame, Chaos had changed into a black dress for Iris.

"You can now kill me, Archangel, but see if you have the strength," Chaos looked at Ruizhe, smiling in a non-smiling manner.

Ying Ruizhe knew that now was a good opportunity to get rid of the Emperor of Demons, but she would also trigger the White Flame prohibition. To lift the White Flame prohibition would mean to be forgiven by the victim. Now that Iris is unconscious, how could she obtain forgiveness from the other party?

"Until we meet again," Ruizhe said, then spread his elf wings and flew towards the direction of the Ghost Valley Forest.

Chaos returned to the Shuowang Empire. He needed rest, whether it was Chaos or Iris.
