The Second Prince truly couldn't understand it. Yu Yanluo was poisoned by the Soul-Devouring Spider's Gu poison, and he could activate the Gu worm to hatch at any time. In that case, she would be completely controlled by the Soul-Devouring Spider, and she would do whatever he asked. Even if he asked her to do something extremely humiliating, she would have no choice but to obey.

However, the Second Prince appreciated Yu Yanluo's consistent cooperation, and the thought of such a peerless beauty becoming a walking corpse was somewhat of a mood killer.

So he was somewhat soft-hearted and only used the Gu to control it, rather than activating it directly.

After all, in his view, the other party had no reason to go against his wishes. A person may not be afraid of death, but if she were to live like a walking corpse after death, and she herself was still a stunningly beautiful woman, she would never want to see such a scene.

Is this woman crazy?

At this moment, the people on Tieyuan City were also greatly alarmed, and they all subconsciously pointed their weapons at the army below, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, many of the Second Prince's subordinates dared not pretend any longer and drew their weapons from under the stretchers to assume defensive postures.

Seeing this, the Second Prince cursed them as fools. He could have tried to smooth things over with Yu Yanluo's words, but now that these soldiers had revealed their true intentions, it was too late to say anything.

As expected, upon seeing this scene, the Peacock King's expression turned cold, and he hurriedly ordered: "The Second Prince has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country; kill him without exception!"

Soon, the giant crossbows and stone cannons on the city walls began to attack the area below, while multicolored lights fell towards the Second Prince's camp below – these were the magical attacks of the cultivators defending the city.

Because of their previous disguise, the soldiers under the Second Prince's command had not brought much equipment. When they were caught off guard and engaged in battle, they were immediately thrown into chaos and suffered heavy losses.

Many soldiers on the city wall cheered upon seeing the victory, but Kong Nanwu looked at the beautiful woman below with some worry. She was clearly being threatened, yet she had given a warning at the crucial moment. It seemed that only death awaited her.

Thinking of her relationship with her elder brother Zu, Kong Nanwu hurriedly tugged at her father's sleeve: "Father, we must find a way to save Queen Medusa."

Peacock King sighed, "She is currently in the enemy camp. The Second Prince is a famous general with many experts under his command. How can we possibly save her?"

Kong Nanwu was well aware of this, and she bit her lip so hard it almost bled.

Peacock King comforted her, saying, "Queen Medusa just gave a resolute warning, clearly indicating that she is prepared to sacrifice herself. We cannot let her down and must firmly defend Tieyuan City for the sake of the entire demon race."

"But..." Kong Nanwu wanted to say something more, but the Second Prince's soldiers below the city launched a counterattack, and a large number of soldiers fell on the city wall. Seeing this, Peacock King hurriedly rushed over to provide support.

Kong Nanwu had no choice but to look at the beautiful figure with worry. Although her skills were outstanding among her peers, they were nothing in a regular army duel, and she had no ability to save her opponent.

At this moment, the Second Prince was commanding his army to attack the city. Seeing the heavy casualties among his men, he looked at Yu Yanluo with burning anger: "Why!"

Yu Yanluo said calmly, "Do you think I should cooperate with you to trick the city gates and plunge the entire demon race into utter ruin?"

"Of course I know you don't want this, but I'm asking how you dared to do it. Didn't you think about the consequences?" The Second Prince's face was extremely gloomy.

Yu Yanluo did not answer, but turned to look in the direction of the sealed land, her eyes filled with longing.

The second prince sneered, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me!"

He immediately took out a whistle and blew a sharp, piercing sound; this was the whistle that catalyzed the Soul-Devouring Spider eggs.

Looking at Yu Yanluo's beautiful face, the Second Prince felt a pang of regret. Such a stunning beauty could not escape becoming a walking corpse...

However, when he thought about the losses the other party had just caused him, he immediately became ruthless.

As a renowned general and an extremely ambitious man, he liked women, but he was not lecherous and would never let women interfere with his duties.

This was the only time, and also the one with the most painful losses.

Soon, Yu Yanluo showed a pained expression, clutched her chest, and bent over as if she was about to fall at any moment.

The Second Prince watched all this with an icy expression. This woman brought it on herself!

Yu Yanluo groaned in pain for a while, then suddenly stood up straight again, her eyes becoming somewhat vacant.

The Second Prince felt a little relieved knowing that the Soul-Devouring Spider had successfully controlled her. "Hmph," he thought, "I'll have you seduce some high-ranking demons and win them over for me..."

The other party was parasitized by the Soul-Devouring Spider, so he dared not slap them, for fear of being parasitized by the spider without realizing it.

Although he cooperated with the demons, he did not completely trust them and still maintained a degree of caution.

Having dealt with Yu Yanluo, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing were brought over by their men. The two women had just roughly seen how things were going, and now, seeing Yu Yanluo's condition, they roughly knew what was going on with her. They couldn't help but burst into tears.

Looking at the two girls with tears streaming down their faces, the Second Prince thought to himself that these two girls were quite beautiful and it would be a pity to kill them. He would use them to seduce those powerful and wealthy people later.

The Soul-Devouring Spider Gu venom is extremely precious, and he was reluctant to use it on the two maids. However, he had plenty of ways to control the two young girls.

The second prince ordered his men to put down their swords and restrain the two women. Then he turned around and began to direct his men in the battle.

Just then, he heard several muffled groans behind him. His alarm bells went off, and he hurriedly dodged to the side, but he still got a palm strike to the shoulder and spat out a mouthful of blood.
