"Isn't your royal family of Jiyuan Kingdom supposed to rule separately from the Demon King? This is the northern land controlled by the Demon King, yet your royal family members can move around freely and even pass messages to the Great Demon. It seems... you are all in cahoots," Yu Yanzhong said, frowning.

Even though there were several powerful demons here, he was not afraid.

"Hehehe... Say whatever you want, Daoist, but you're not leaving here alive today," Yan Qingwu sneered.

Although their Silent Abyss Kingdom and the Demon King rule separately, the royal family and the Demon King actually have a cooperative relationship. In addition, she is a half-demon with considerable strength, and has now become the link between the two sides.

Her status rose accordingly, which was much better than being a concubine in the Great Yan Dynasty who had to please the old emperor every day.

If she had known this would happen, she should have left the Great Yan Dynasty with her children and grandchildren back then, instead of being forced to flee a few days ago.

"Kill him," Yan Qingwu said coldly.

The powerful demons were slightly taken aback, and none of them dared to make a move.

“Princess, this man is an inner disciple of the Taiyi Sect. If we really kill him, the Taiyi Sect will definitely retaliate. After all, it is the Taiyi Sect.” The Yellow Leopard Spirit frowned and said.

The terrifying existence of the Taiyi Sect casts a shadow over the hearts of these demons.

"You don't need to worry. This is the will of the demon kings. If the Taiyi Sect dares to send anyone, we can make sure they don't leave alive," Yan Qingwu said with a smile.

The Demon King told her that their demon race also had a strong foundation, so what about the Taiyi Sect? They were not afraid at all.

"The essence of a Taiyi Sect disciple is definitely a great tonic. After I kill him, I'll take his essence, and you can keep his body," Yan Qingwu said excitedly.

If she could consume Yu Yanzhong's essence, her strength would definitely increase significantly.

By then, her power in the dynasty will certainly be even greater.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Huang Baojing and the others immediately surrounded and attacked Yu Yanzhong.

As an inner disciple of the Taiyi Sect, Yu Yanzhong possessed great strength and was highly skilled in many profound mystical arts. If there were only one Yellow Leopard Demon, he would definitely be able to deal with it. However, now there were several powerful demons, and two of them were no weaker than the Yellow Leopard Demon. The situation suddenly became somewhat out of control.

“Princess…after you consume my senior brother’s essence, may I remain in the Kingdom of Jiyuan?” Xie Peng said hastily, seeing that Yu Yanzhong was at a disadvantage.

"Of course, if I consume his essence, I will give you the greatest credit, and then you can work for my son." Yan Qingwu said proudly.

Xie Peng had sided with her when she was still a concubine in the Great Yan Dynasty, and had helped her solve many problems over the years.

Xie Peng deserves the most credit for her ability to bring down the former crown prince and empress.

It was Xie Peng who secretly tampered with the crown prince's blood, which is why the emperor had the heart to kill his son.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and she and her son still failed.

But it doesn't matter, they have risen again and will have a chance to fight back and let their son inherit the throne of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"Thank you, Princess." Xie Peng quickly knelt down to express his gratitude, which pleased Yan Qingwu greatly.

Yu Yanzhong was gradually losing ground, and the spirit beast, the Azure Wolf, beside him was already injured.

"Let your black dog kill that blue wolf. After it swallows the blue wolf's spirit beast core and flesh, its strength will definitely increase greatly," Yan Qingwu said.

"This..." Xie Peng hesitated for a moment.

Although he bribed the black dog spirit beast and promised it that he would do his best to find rare and precious materials to enhance its strength, he did not say that he would let the black dog spirit beast fall into the demonic path.

"I don't want to be a demon," the black dog said in a low voice.

It's much easier for spirit beasts to become immortals than for demon beasts. As spirit beasts, they look down on demon beasts.

Although it wanted to increase its strength, it did not want to fall into the path of demons.

"Once you arrive in our Silent Abyss Kingdom, you won't have a choice. You'll either eat that spirit beast, the Azure Wolf, or be eaten by the Yellow Leopard Demon and his men. The choice is yours," Yan Qingwu said coldly.

The black dog fell silent upon hearing this.

"Go ahead," Xie Peng said softly.

They got on this pirate ship and can't get off.

The black dog was filled with regret upon hearing this.

Over the years, Xie Peng often gave it good things to improve its strength, especially rare and precious materials, which came almost every year. The black dog was very satisfied with him. Seeing that Xie Peng was about to have his cultivation abolished and be expelled from the Cloud Palace, it felt a little reluctant.

Xie Peng begged it to help him, saying that although demons roamed the Jiyuan Kingdom, it was full of mountains and natural treasures. If it stayed in the Jiyuan Kingdom with him, it would definitely get more cultivation resources, so it agreed.

Besides... even if it sides with Xie Peng and Qinglang, it's still doomed.

They were no match for these powerful demons. Even if they could, this was the Silent Abyss Kingdom, where they could summon other powerful demons or even demon kings.

In order to save its own life, it sided with Xie Peng, but unexpectedly it ended up driving itself to a dead end.

"Go, or you'll only have death on your way out," Xie Peng whispered, trying to persuade him.

Although the black dog was extremely unwilling, it ultimately had no choice but to submit, because it did not want to die.

...

Meanwhile, in Purple Bamboo Mountain, Ye Xianya and Zhengzheng had just finished absorbing the purple energy and were tempering their bodies.

"Xianya, when Yu Yanzhong returns from Jiyuan Kingdom, he will take Tao Zhixuan and you to Taiyi Sect. How do you plan to refuse him?" Qi Chengshuo asked, looking up.

He was worried that Yu Yanzhong would forcibly take Ye Xianya away.

"Just refuse directly. He thinks I'm some old relic of the Taiyi Sect, a senior, and he won't lay a hand on me," Ye Xianya said with a smile.

"How big is the gap between me and him now?" Qi Chengshuo asked.

“If we join forces, we should be able to defeat him,” Ye Xianya said with a smile. “Let me do some calculations.”

After the calculations were completed, Ye Xianya's expression changed.

"What's wrong? Is there a big gap between us and him?" Qi Chengshuo suddenly became a little nervous.

"Yu Yanzhong is going to die," Ye Xianya said solemnly.

"He's no match for that yellow leopard demon?" Zhengzheng flew over and asked.

"He's fallen into a trap. Xie Peng betrayed him and joined Yan Qingwu. Yan Qingwu, along with several powerful demons, surrounded and killed Yu Yanzhong. Although he's still alive, he won't last much longer," Ye Xianya said helplessly.

She thought that with Yu Yanzhong's strength, killing that yellow leopard demon would be a piece of cake, but she never expected that he would be tricked.

It can only be said that people who come from the Taiyi Sect are generally quite confident.

Moreover, Yu Yanzhong trusted his junior apprentice Xie Peng far too much.

Little did they know that Xie Peng, who had become a heretical cultivator, was no longer the same person he once was.

"They actually dared to kill Yu Yanzhong. Aren't they afraid of retaliation from the Taiyi Sect?" Qi Chengshuo found it somewhat unbelievable.

The Taiyi Sect is the most supreme existence in the world. As an inner disciple, Yu Yanzhong is also the disciple of the Third Elder. Logically speaking, the great demons of Jiyuan Kingdom would not dare to kill him.
