The purple-eyed boy curled one corner of his mouth and said, "I caught someone slacking off."

Qi Yu was startled when she saw his face, which was indistinguishable from a human's except for his eyes.

Her nose twitched slightly, but she didn't smell the kind of stench that Lai Pi was wearing.

This purple-eyed boy is a high-level demon!

Her mind raced, and she lowered her head, saying, "Greetings, Demon Lord Chenyan."

"Shen Yan?" The purple-eyed youth raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You guessed wrong. I'm not that disgusting Shen Yan."

The awakening of the Demon Lord Chenyan prompted the Blood Fiend Sect to take such a big step, but the young man's tone seemed to show him quite contempt and dislike.

This indicates that their status was at least equal.

The purple-eyed boy stood with his arms crossed in front of Qi Yu, seemingly not intending to kill her directly.

We can communicate.

Qi Yu raised his head, a sheepish smile on his face, and said, "Then who are you...?"

My name is Wei Lan.

Never heard of it.

Qi Yu huddled inside the artificial hill, coughed lightly, and changed the subject, saying, "Ahem, Lord Wei Lan, could you let me out first? It's quite tiring to be squatting like this for so long."

"Haha, you're quite amusing. Caught slacking off, you still dare to complain about being tired? No way, you'll be with me from now on, I'm going to make sure you never have a moment's rest."

Wei Lan stepped forward and dragged Qi Yu out of the artificial cave. Qi Yu didn't dare to resist directly and had no choice but to be dragged along.

With her head down, she was led all the way to the main hall of the palace.

Everyone who passed by them bowed respectfully in awe.

"May the Demon Lord Wei Lan be safe!"

Wei Lan casually pulled Qi Yu to a seat inside the hall and sat down without a care in the world.

Unlike the hustle and bustle outside the hall, a long table was set up inside, and many people were already seated there.

Qi Yu stood behind Wei Lan, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the menacing demonic cultivators and demonic creatures around her, and calmly bowed her head in a respectful posture.

Inside the main hall, the overwhelming stench of blood filled her nostrils, making her feel nauseous.

Above the palace hung a coffin-shaped object, from which emanated the overwhelming stench of blood that made Qi Yu dizzy.

The Demon Lord of Sinking...

Let's just leave it there.

The demonic cultivators and demonic creatures around him made no attempt to conceal their auras, and the oppressive force made it difficult for Qi Yu, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, to breathe.

Qi Yu secretly regulated the spiritual energy within his body to resist the oppressive aura.

"Hey." Wei Lan suddenly spoke up, casually propping his head up with his hand and saying to Qi Yu behind him, "What are you standing there for? Pour me some wine."

With a flick of his free hand, the invisible pressure was instantly blocked.

Qi Yu glanced at him, lowered her head meekly, picked up the jade wine pot on the table, poured the liquid from the pot into the wine cup, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Demon Lord."

The liquid was red, swirling slightly in the pure white wine glass, and was also slightly warm.

Qi Yu's gaze was fixed on the blood-red liquid in the wine cup, and she gently and slowly placed the wine pot back on the table.

"Tsk."

Wei Lan suddenly reached out and spilled all the liquid in the wine cup onto the ground. "It smells awful."

Everyone else at the table paused as soon as the word "calm" was uttered.

The monster, who was drinking heartily from the spout, suddenly changed its expression but forced itself to suppress its emotions.

The atmosphere was tense when a sound came from outside the hall.

"The Holy Maiden has arrived."

Wearing a white robe and a veil, Fenxin entered the main hall carrying a jade zither.

Her smooth, black hair was tied into a fairy-like bun by her maid, adorned with pearls and jade that shimmered with various colors. She was surrounded by tinkling ornaments, making her look like a goddess from the heavens, captivating all who looked at her.

Such a fairy-like figure stood out conspicuously among the rough and gloomy demonic cultivators and monsters in the hall.

Everyone stared at her intently, their eyes displaying a variety of emotions: reverence, covetousness, and ill intent.

Fenxin seemed oblivious to the stares. Without her maids, she walked alone to the right-hand seat at the very front of the long table and sat down quietly.

Wei Lan was positioned opposite her, his purple eyes fixed on Fen Xin with a half-smile.

Before long, the coffin hanging above everyone's heads made a gurgling sound, and blood kept gushing out from beside the coffin, splashing onto everyone's heads.

The blood splattered onto some of the demons, causing them to become agitated. Some of the mid-level demons, who were already in human form, even couldn't help but reveal some of their demonic forms.

Wei Lan seemed to dislike the blood very much, so she erected a small barrier, which also blocked the blood for Qi Yu.

"Hahahahahahahaha..."

A long, arrogant laugh erupted from the coffin, accompanied by a powerful explosion that shattered the coffin into pieces in mid-air.

A robust figure covered in scarlet blood appeared at the head of the banquet.

His long, messy hair was draped over his forehead, revealing a pair of deep purple eyes through the disheveled hair, and he exuded a strong aura of danger.

Everyone stood up and respectfully greeted the man, saying, "Welcome back to the Demon Lord Chenyan after completing his training."

Wei Lan didn't even move his buttocks, toying with the white jade wine cup in his hand.

The Demon Lord Chenyan's gaze fell heavily on him, but he showed no intention of standing up to pay his respects.

Qi Yu kept her head down, and just as she was about to reveal a flowery pattern on her boots, someone finally broke the silence.

"Demon Lord Chenyan, it's getting late, shall we begin?"

The woman's gentle voice flowed like a warm current through everyone's ears, and only then did the Demon Lord Chen Yan turn his gaze away and sit down in the main seat.

He swept his disheveled long hair back, revealing a wild and unrestrained face.

"Someone, bring the food!"

People waiting outside the hall quickly brought up large platters and placed them in front of each person at the table.

When Qi Yu saw what was in the plate, she couldn't help but shudder. A wave of acid rose from her stomach to her throat, making her eyes sting.

There were human remains on the plate!

Hands, feet, limbs, internal organs, and head.

It was bloody.

The demons were overjoyed, but some demon cultivators who still retained their humanity couldn't help but gag inwardly.

However, this was a scheme orchestrated by the Demon Lord Shenyan, and they couldn't directly turn against him; they could only forcibly turn a blind eye.

Before Fenxin lay a plate of intact hearts, still slightly beating. Her gaze was unfocused, as if she were lost in thought.

The Demon Lord Chenyan grabbed a smooth, tender thigh from the plate in front of him, buried his head in his mouth, opened his serrated jaws, and ripped off a piece of flesh.

This bite seemed to be a command.

The other monsters at the table immediately began to grab the food on the plates and tear it apart.

Minced meat and blood splattered onto the long table covered with a luxurious velvet carpet, staining the carpet crimson.

Scattered bits of blood and flesh spurted from between the teeth of the Demon Lord Chen Yan, nearly soiling Wei Lan's robes. He frowned slightly and said with disgust, "Inferior things."

The Demon Lord Chen Yan, who was enjoying his meal, twitched his ears, lifted his face from the leg, and said in a sinister tone, "What did you say?"

Wei Lan leaned back in her chair, her dark violet eyes glancing lightly at the Demon Lord Chen Yan, and said, "It's laughable that a lowly species that only knows how to eat raw meat and drink blood can be called a Demon Lord."

The Demon Lord Chenyan hurled the crippled leg at Wei Lan, snarling, "You brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, how dare you challenge me?!"
