"Master, I sense a demonic aura ahead," said Sun Wu Kong.
Jin Chan looked at him.
Zhu Ba Jie asked, "In this desolate wilderness, where would demonic energy come from?"
Just as he finished, a purple beam of light descended, and Me Li Sha stepped out.
Sun Wu Kong raised his golden staff warily, while Zhu Ba Jie gripped his rake.
Jin Chan asked, "Who are you, daring to cause chaos here?"
Me Li Sha smiled and replied, "Soon, you will find out."
Location: Chang Cheng
Kai and Bai Li Xuan Ce were happily enjoying the dishes cooked by Bai Li Shou Yue.
In the distance, Su Lie came running and shouted, "Don't eat so fast, you two! I haven't had a single bite yet."
Hua Mu Lan walked out from the kitchen carrying another dish. "There's plenty more, take your time."
Beside them, Dun Shan spoke in his mechanical voice: "Emm… mmm… mm…"
Su Lie asked, "What did Dun Shan just say?"
Bai Li Shou Yue walked out of the kitchen and said, "He said you all look like you're enjoying the food so much, he wants to try it too."
At that moment, Shen Meng Xi rushed in.
Panting, he said, "People from Chang An are here."
Kai asked in confusion, "Chang An people?"
Di Ren Jie and Li Yuan Fang approached Li Xin. Li Xin asked, "What business brings you here?"
Di Ren Jie replied, "We've come to seek help."
Hua Mu Lan walked over and said, "Come inside and tell us slowly."
Meanwhile in Chang An, Si Kong Zhen and the others were resting. Just then, the door opened. Sun Wu Kong entered, supporting Jin Chan.
Yun Ying quickly ran to help them. Wu Ze Tian asked, "What happened to you?"
Three Hours Earlier
Me Li Sha fired beams of light at Sun Wu Kong and Zhu Ba Jie. Sun Wu Kong stood at the front, blocking with his staff, then struck back with a powerful swing. But when he looked forward, Me Li Sha had vanished.
Before he could react, she appeared behind them and struck Jin Chan to the ground.
Sun Wu Kong and Zhu Ba Jie rushed to aid him. Zhu Ba Jie stood up angrily, "You dead monster!"
Me Li Sha said, "First, I am very much alive. Second, I am not a monster!"
Zhu Ba Jie charged forward, swinging his rake. Me Li Sha caught it firmly, spun, and flung him away.
Sun Wu Kong suddenly appeared behind her and brought down his staff. Me Li Sha was knocked to the ground but retaliated with a furious blast of light, gravely wounding Sun Wu Kong.
Zhu Ba Jie quickly ran to support him, "Are you alright?"
As Me Li Sha prepared to finish them off, a voice came from the forest nearby: "Amitabha."
Da Mo leapt out, punching Me Li Sha to the ground, then delivering another heavy blow that slammed her into a tree.
Blood dripped from her lips, but she only smiled. Then she snapped her fingers.
Da Mo was lifted into the air uncontrollably.
Me Li Sha fired a purple beam at him, defeating him.
Seeing this, Zhu Ba Jie said to Sun Wu Kong, "I'll hold her off. Take Master and go, quickly!"
Sun Wu Kong wanted to protest, but Zhu Ba Jie had already rushed forward. Sun Wu Kong carried Jin Chan away. From a distance, he looked back—only to see Zhu Ba Jie defeated.
Sun Wu Kong said, "That's what happened. Then I brought Master here."
Zhao Huaizhen muttered, "Once again, Me Li Sha's doing."
Jin Chan asked, "Do you know this demon?"
Si Kong Zhen replied, "No... she must be some invader from elsewhere."
Sun Wu Kong frowned.
Shang Guan Wan Er said, "We must join forces to defeat her."
Sun Wu Kong stood up firmly, "Yes, I must avenge my brother."
Back at Chang Cheng
Di Ren Jie and Li Yuan Fang explained everything in detail.
After hearing it all, Kai said, "You mean there's an invader who intends to rule the world of Honor of Kings?"
Di Ren Jie answered, "Exactly. Which is why we must unite to defeat her. She's no ordinary enemy."
Hua Mu Lan asked, "Then where will she strike next?"
Li Yuan Fang replied, "Nan Huang is likely her next target."
Hua Mu Lan commanded, "Su Lie, Li Xin, and Shen Meng Xi, stay here to guard Chang Cheng. The rest, follow me to Nan Huang."
Location: Tower of the Sun
Sun Wu Kong, Si Kong Zhen, and their group arrived at the Tower of the Sun.
Clearly, Me Li Sha had already occupied it. Flags bearing the character "Me" were hung everywhere.
Shang Guan Wan Er bent down to examine the blue powder on the ground and said, "This is not Me Li Sha's doing."
Sun Wu Kong asked, "What?"
Shang Guan Wan Er said, "Someone else has taken this place."
Everyone's eyes widened.
Location: Nan Huang
A Ke, wearing her mask, walked down the street. Suddenly, a man appeared before her.
A Ke said, "The plague in Nan Huang has been gone for some time. What, do you want to start it again?"
The man replied, "I am not a native of this place."
A Ke asked, "Then who are you?"
He said, "I am called Me Li Ye."
From the side, Gao Jian Li stepped out and asked, "Then what is your purpose here?"
Me Li Ye replied, "To rule Nan Huang, and eventually, the entire Honor of Kings world."
A Ke glanced at Gao Jian Li. Gao Jian Li said, "Enough talk."
He and A Ke charged forward.
Me Li Ye flung out a blue chain and said, "I'll be happy to oblige."
The chain coiled around Gao Jian Li's guitar, but he strummed a few notes, knocking Me Li Ye back.
A Ke vanished into stealth. Gao Jian Li moved behind cover and waved mockingly, "Goodbye."
Me Li Ye watched warily. Suddenly, A Ke stabbed from behind. But he quickly wrapped her with his chain and flung her toward Gao Jian Li, slamming them both against the wall.
Me Li Ye said coldly, "You are no match for me."
Gao Jian Li glared defiantly.
With another swing, his chain released a blue light, defeating both Gao Jian Li and A Ke.
Afterward, Me Li Sha arrived with soldiers to subjugate everyone in Nan Huang.
From a distance, Hua Mu Lan and her group saw the scene and had no choice but to retreat.
Hua Mu Lan said, "Let's fall back to Chang Cheng and wait."
