"Yes, yes, yes!"
"The Thousand Demons Clan incited and forced us to join!"
"The Thousand Demons Clan told us that if we helped them abduct the Lady of the Demon Realm and the little princess, the Lord Demon Sovereign wouldn't dare act rashly. Someone would then deal with him..."
The female elder of the Hundred Beauties Clan trembled uncontrollably under Yue Qingyou's icy gaze, her soul nearly flying out of her body.
The Thousand Demons Elder's earlier, agonizing screams still echoed in her mind, leaving her no room for hesitation.
The other members of the Thousand Demons Clan present turned pale, unable to imagine what fate awaited them.
Only now did they realize how arrogant and overconfident the Thousand Demons Clan had been!
They couldn't even hold Yue Qingyou back for a moment!
"Hmph, you really thought you could abduct the Lady and the little princess from Eternal Night Monarch City just because the Lord Demon Sovereign and I were absent?"
"You are truly foolish and ignorant."
Yue Qingyou's cold, beautiful eyes swept over the frozen figures suspended in the air around her. Slowly, she turned and walked away.
The moment her gaze fell upon them, they felt as if they had plunged into an icy abyss, their bodies chilled to the bone.
"L-Left Protector... please spare us..."
"We... we were merely misled by the Thousand Demons Clan! We harbor no disrespect toward the Lord Demon Sovereign!"
"That's right! Us too!"
"The Thousand Demons Clan forced us into this!"
"We swear to follow the Lord Demon Sovereign with our lives from now on, without any wavering!"
The crowd pleaded and confessed their sins to Yue Qingyou with desperate sincerity.
Faced with her overwhelming power and brutal methods, even the bravest and most fearless demons couldn't help but feel fear and cowardice.
As she listened to the desperate pleas behind her, Yue Qingyou merely tilted her head slightly, her eyes revealing profound disappointment and icy killing intent.
"You are all elders of the various clans of the Demon Realm's Western Region. When you made your decisions, you should have considered the consequences."
"To beg for mercy without even the slightest awareness of your situation... it's truly disappointing."
"I had already decided to settle accounts with each of you upon my return."
"But the Lord Demon Sovereign, in his benevolence towards every citizen of the Demon Realm, mercifully granted you one last chance."
"And you... you have squandered that final act of mercy."
As she spoke, everyone present realized their impending fate. Their dazed eyes were now filled with deep regret and terror...
As members of the Demon Race, they knew all too well the realm's methods of execution...
Their end would likely be no better than that of the Thousand Demons Elder!
"Peel!"
"Then burst!"
Yue Qingyou uttered these words indifferently, not sparing them another glance.
"W-wait...! Left... Ahh! Mmm! Left... Left Protector... My Lord!"
The group behind her desperately tried to continue begging, but like the Thousand Demons Elder, their skin began to slough off in layers!
Heart-wrenching screams and wails continued to ring out from behind.
As their skin was completely stripped away, the mangled bodies of the crowd froze mid-air like grotesque works of art.
Instead of further flaying, their bodies began to inflate like balloons, swelling into round, bloated shapes.
Without their skin, the expanding flesh tore apart, crushing bones piercing through their internal organs as blood sprayed in a crimson deluge.
When their bodies could no longer stretch, they burst simultaneously, like balloons in mid-air.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew, blooming like crimson flowers in the sky.
The emerald forest was completely stained crimson.
Yue Qingyou, hands clasped demurely, walked away without a backward glance, her expression cold and detached.
From the moment they chose to act, their fate and that of their clan had been sealed.
***
Meanwhile
As the white mist rose, Luo Ruying realized Yue Qingyou was no longer beside her.
No matter how loudly she called out, there was no response.
Moreover, Luo Hongye, who had been resting on the Evil Vicious, had also vanished without her noticing.
"Yeye?!" Luo Ruying shouted anxiously.
But the white mist was thick and impenetrable, reducing visibility to near zero.
Her sharp intuition screamed that something was wrong!
With a grave expression, Luo Ruying drew the Luo Shen Immortal Sword, her beautiful eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
She was surrounded!
Her attackers were formidable!
With her Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, she doubted she could face even one of them...
Just then, the white mist was pierced by several bone spikes hurtling straight at her.
Luo Ruying swiftly swung her immortal sword, deflecting all the incoming spikes.
In that instant, a burly man with skin as rough as rock erupted from the mist beside her, his fist charging toward her!
The man wore a heavy iron helmet, concealing his face, but his cultivation was terrifyingly potent!
His power far surpassed hers!
With no choice, Luo Ruying raised her sword with both hands to block the incoming strike.
Her Immortal Spirit and Demonic Spirit clashed, forming a barrier that collided with the man's attack.
A single punch sent Luo Ruying sliding back several hundred meters.
But there were more than two opponents. As she regained her footing, several Spirit-Binding Cords emerged from the white mist, firmly binding her hands and feet.
"Hmph, taking down a mere Heavenly Human Realm girl is as easy as flipping my hand."
"If we didn't need you alive, you'd be dead by now, my dear~"
A man covered in white bone spikes slowly emerged from the mist, his expression arrogant and triumphant.
He'd thought abducting the Demon Realm's First Lady from Eternal Night Monarch City would be a challenge.
But she was merely a Heavenly Human Realm cultivator.
Sending two Immortal Emperors to deal with her was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Luo Ruying struggled desperately against the Spirit-Binding Cords, but it was utterly futile.
The spiritual energy she channeled was quickly suppressed by the cords, leaving her powerless.
"Heh heh, my dear, don't waste your energy."
"These Spirit-Binding Cords are soaked in Demonic Spirit, specifically designed to counter your Immortal Clan."
"The more you struggle, the tighter they'll bind you~"
The White Bone Elder grinned triumphantly, his voice dripping with malice.
Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes narrowed as she glared at him, her voice cold and sharp:
"Why are you attacking me?"
"Is it because I'm from the Immortal Clan?"
"Well, your Immortal Clan status is just one of the minor reasons."
"The important thing is that you're the woman of the Lord Demon Sovereign!"
"If we capture you, even with the Demon Sovereign's immense power, he wouldn't dare touch us."
The White Bone Elder explained with a sinister chuckle.
In the Demon Realm, almost everyone feared the Demon Sovereign.
One reason was his suffocatingly overwhelming power, which had elevated him to the apex of the Demon Realm, unshakable and unchallengeable.
He was hailed as the strongest Demon Sovereign in the history of the Demon Realm!
But while he was once flawless and invulnerable, that was no longer the case!
Now that the Demon Sovereign had a wife and children, capturing Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye would give them leverage!
No matter how powerful the Demon Sovereign was, he wouldn't dare act rashly against them!
"If your target is me, can't you leave my child alone?"
"If you promise not to harm her, I'll surrender willingly!"
Luo Ruying pleaded.
The absence of Luo Hongye by her side filled her with anxiety.
Though Evil Vicious was with Luo Hongye, she could see at least two Immortal Emperors among the attackers surrounding her.
They've probably sent someone to harm the child too!
** Why don't I play with you instead?**
In response to Luo Ruying's desperate plea, the White Bone Elder let out a derisive laugh and refused without hesitation.
"Of course not, Madam!"
"You're truly naive, aren't you?"
"Or is this how all Immortal Clan insects are—so innocent and foolish?"
"Capturing both you and the Little Princess is far more valuable than taking just one of you!"
"You...!"
"If you dare lay a hand on my child, he will show you no mercy!"
Gritting her silver teeth, Luo Ruying's beautiful face turned icy cold as she glared at the White Bone Elder with burning fury.
Her words sent a shiver through everyone present, including the White Bone Elder.
It wasn't that Luo Ruying's threat intimidated them, but rather that it instinctively reminded them of Ning Yechen...
The mere thought of the Demon Sovereign's wrath made them tremble instinctively.
After all, the Demon Sovereign crushed Immortal Emperors as easily as swatting mosquitoes...
The White Bone Elder was the first to regain his composure, his face burning with shame at his involuntary tremor of fear.
*As long as we capture Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye, what is there to fear?*
"Hmph! Madam, you needn't try to scare me!"
"You have nowhere left to run, and you're in no position to negotiate with me!"
"If we capture you and the child, the Demon Sovereign won't dare lay a finger on us!" White Bone Elder snapped, his voice thick with anger and humiliation.
No sooner had he spoken than a voice, as alluring as silk, suddenly echoed from the swirling mist.
"Oh my~ Is that so?"
"You don't *really* think you can threaten the Lord Demon Sovereign with the Lady and the Little Princess, do you? No way~"
"I think the real fools here are you~"
"Trying to take the Lady and the Little Princess from Eternal Night Monarch City? How utterly adorable~"
Hearing the voice, White Bone Elder and his group turned around in a panic, shouting, "Who's there?!"
"Show yourself!"
The White Mist Secret Realm not only conjured illusory mists to trap its victims but also suppressed all Divine Sense. Those trapped within became like headless flies, unable to perceive anything. Yet someone had precisely located them in the mist!
The Demon Sovereign and the Left Protector were being held back by others. Who could it be...?
Under the tense gazes of White Bone Elder and his group, a figure emerged from the mist, her body swaying with seductive grace and blatant allure.
There was no doubt—it was Soul Charm.
Soul Charm had already shed her clothes, leaving only a few scraps of fabric to cover her magnificent, voluptuous figure.
Her sinuous movements as she rose were utterly captivating, drawing every eye in the room.
Shortly after Luo Ruying left the room, Soul Charm sensed the thick, pervasive white mist filling the city.
As it happened, she was an expert at navigating illusions.
This kind of fog was utterly useless against her.
Soul Charm approached Luo Ruying, flicked her finger, and severed the Spirit-Binding Cord binding her.
"Thank you, Soul Charm," Luo Ruying whispered gratefully.
Yet inwardly, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness and self-reproach.
If only she could regain her former cultivation and strength, dealing with these two would have been child's play!
"You're too kind, Madam~" Soul Charm purred, her voice dripping with coquetry as she leaned close to Luo Ruying's face. "If you truly want to thank me, why not spend a night with me next time~?"
Luo Ruying's cheeks flushed crimson. *How can she still be in the mood for such talk in this situation...?*
Seeing the blush on Luo Ruying's cheeks, Soul Charm's expression grew satisfied. She waved her hand and chuckled.
"Hehe~ I was just teasing, Madam~"
"Though I truly wish to share a bed with you, Madam, the Lord Demon Sovereign would surely never agree."
*Why is Soul Charm worried about Ning Yechen's disapproval, rather than my refusal?*
*Could she think I would agree?*
*Or perhaps if Ning Yechen agreed, she would force herself on me...*
Luo Ruying couldn't help but wonder, growing wary of Soul Charm.
Soul Charm turned to face the White Bone Elder and his group, her voice dripping with seductive complaint:
"Oh, you lot~"
"Binding a woman like this is quite rude, you know~"
"But then again~ I do enjoy playing this way~"
"Why don't I join you for a game instead~?"
"We can play however you like~"
"I'll guarantee you'll experience ecstasy beyond mortal limits~"
Soul Charm winked at the White Bone Elder and his group, blowing them a kiss.
However, the group remained solemn and vigilant.
*Who in the Demon Realm doesn't know this debauched woman?*
*The Ninth Seat Demon God, Soul Charm!*
"Ghost Skin Elder and I will handle this woman. The rest of you, seize the Madam!" the White Bone Elder shouted, no longer daring to delay.
The moment the order was given, the group sprang into action, charging straight for Luo Ruying.
"You men..."
"Always wanting to eat what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot..."
"I told you, I wanted to play with you all, so how could you ignore me?"
"I'm so hurt!"
Soul Charm's face twisted with resentment as she flickered forward. A pair of slender, jade-like hands pierced through the necks of the two men charging at the forefront.
Blood splattered across her alluring, bewitching face.
She extended her long, crimson tongue to lick the blood, her expression growing even more seductive.
"I said I wanted to play with you..."
"But you're not allowed to touch my lady!"
"She already belongs to the Lord Demon Sovereign, while I'm still single..."
Gripping the men's neckbones, Soul Charm lifted them before her.
They weren't dead yet, but with their necks trapped in her grasp, they dared not move, only staring at her with terror.
"Naughty children who don't listen deserve a little punishment..."
Soul Charm parted her crimson lips, and streams of golden-brown energy began pouring from the men's bodies into her mouth...
This golden-brown energy was thick with spiritual power, yet not entirely spiritual power.
Their eyes widened in terror, their bodies spasming and trembling, yet they were utterly unable to move. All they could feel was their life force, spiritual energy, and vitality draining away at an alarming rate!
In mere moments, the two Immortal Emperor-level cultivators were reduced to desiccated husks in Soul Charm's grasp!
"Mmm~ Not bad~"
Soul Charm casually tossed the desiccated corpse to the ground, licking her crimson lips with lingering relish, her face radiating bliss and satisfaction.
Just as she was lost in the aftertaste of her enjoyment, several bone spikes pierced the air and shot straight through her delicate body!
"Bone Thorns!"
The White Bone Elder roared, and the bone spikes piercing Soul Charm's flesh instantly erupted into countless branching spikes within her!
Tens of thousands of bone spikes pierced Soul Charm from every angle!
There was not a single intact part of her body left—even her brain was riddled with bone spikes that pierced through the crown of her skull!
"It's done!"
"Oh, oh! As expected of the White Bone Elder!"
"Such a terrifying technique!"
"The White Bone Elder's power is no less than that of the thirteen Demon Gods!"
The surrounding crowd, seeing Soul Charm utterly dead, erupted in joy and showered the White Bone Elder with praise.
A smug smile couldn't help but spread across the White Bone Elder's face.
Even a single scratch from his bone spikes could activate them, causing them to grow infinitely within the target's body until they pierced through their entire being!
*Even the legendary Ninth Seat Demon God isn't this terrifying~*
