"You fucking..."

The Eighth Elder clutched his heart, speechless for a moment; he felt like he was about to have a heart attack from anger.

The Fifth Elder was completely oblivious to what was going on and continued talking to himself with smug satisfaction.

"That kid dared to frame you and even dared to threaten me with your information. How could I let him die peacefully? I tortured him severely before sending him to his death. You didn't see the look on his face before he died; he was so shocked! It was hilarious, hahaha..."

The Fifth Elder, An Wang, was halfway through his speech when suddenly a fist landed on his face, sending him flying.

"Prince An! I'll f*** you!" The Eighth Elder could no longer contain himself and vented his anger.

"Eighth Prince, why did you hit me?" Prince An asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm not only going to hit you, I'm going to fuck you, I'm going to fuck your ***!"

With bloodshot eyes, the Eighth Elder rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight the Fifth Elder, Prince An, to the death.

"No, Eighth Brother, are you crazy? Ninth Brother, Holy Maiden, stop him! He's gone mad! After so many years of brotherhood, he's actually going to hit me for a human!" Prince An said while dodging.

"I'm crazy? You're the one who's crazy! Do you know who that Qiao Suinian is? That guy has fused with a complete dragon bone!" the Eighth Elder roared.

"What?! A human who has fused with a complete dragon bone?!" The Fifth Elder was shocked. He understood how terrifying it was to have fused with a complete dragon bone. The legendary dragon race was no longer seen. Fusing with a dragon bone meant that there was a chance to rival the real dragon race in the future. Such a person had unlimited potential. Once he grew up, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was on par with an entire race.

"And that Qiao Suinian had already agreed to join our Abyss Demon Clan, the price being that I and the Holy Maiden would act in a play with him! But you actually killed him! Prince An, you deserve to die! You personally strangled the future of my Abyss Demon Clan!"

The person the Eighth Elder wished to die was Prince An. If Prince An died, the Abyss Demon Clan would certainly be shaken, but the loss would be far less than the loss of a Dragon Bone Possessor.

"What?! No wonder...no wonder he looked at me like that before he died, so that's why..." Prince An muttered to himself as if he had lost his soul, then suddenly raised his head. "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing sooner? And why did you take the Holy Maiden to find that Qiao Suinian so mysteriously? Why didn't you explain this clearly?"

"I didn't want to tell you, did I? I couldn't tell you! The reason I went to find that Qiao Suinian... is related to the Holy Maiden's... chastity!" the Eighth Elder said through gritted teeth.

Boom!

Prince An stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning.

"It concerns the saintess's chastity? Could it be that the saintess was... possessed by that Qiao Suinian..."

The Eighth Elder nodded with a grim expression.

"What?! Did he wear it?"

"No! Humans and demons should have reproductive barriers, so wearing a mask makes no difference..."

"No, what am I thinking!"

The information brought by the Eighth Elder was so overwhelming that Prince An felt his head had turned to mush.

If Qiao Suinian really did take the Holy Maiden's body and possessed dragon bones, and agreed to join the Abyss Demon Clan, then this person would definitely be the Abyss Demon Clan's ideal son-in-law!

And what did he do? He actually killed his own son-in-law, the dragon-riding prince of the Abyss Demon Clan.

This is like finally finding a rich husband, who arrives in a Maybach, only to have him order pig feed, scaring the man away – it's absurd.

Prince An was filled with remorse. He grabbed his hair, his face full of regret.

Even if it's just a different way of killing the other person, piercing their body with eighteen black thorns, it's simply beyond saving even a god!

"Do you now realize just how incredibly stupid you've been? Tell me, did you deserve to be hit?"

The Eighth Elder found it hard to describe his feelings at this moment. It was like winning the lottery jackpot, only to find that the ticket had been washed in the washing machine when he went to claim it.

Snap!

Prince An, in a fit of frustration, slapped himself in the face.

"I deserve to die!"

An Shengyao also had a complex mix of emotions at this moment, and her stunningly beautiful face made people feel sorry for her.

Is that man really dead?

"Fifth Elder, please don't rush. Tell me the whole story again first," An Shengyao advised.

"good!"

Prince An nodded and then began to recount how he led his troops to besiege the capital. When he got to the end, Qiao Suinian told him that it was enough, but he still insisted on piercing the last black thorn. At that moment, the Eighth Elder, who had a short temper, could no longer hold back and kicked the Fifth Elder away.

"Why don't you just die? If you can't do it, you could at least cripple the person and bring them back. Why did you have to kill them? Are you out of your mind?" The Eighth Elder's chest heaved with rage.

Prince An was meek and submissive, like a schoolboy who had done something wrong, and dared not talk back at all. He let the Eighth Elder punch and kick him, and even when his face was bruised and swollen, he dared not fight back.

He knew how terribly wrong he had been, and if others found out about this, he would probably get beaten up a lot more.

“A black thorn pierced his heart…” An Shengyao murmured to herself. She suddenly remembered the first time she met Qiao Suinian. At that time, Qiao Suinian had stabbed himself in the heart with a dagger, but he was unharmed in the end. “Eighth Elder, stop fighting! Qiao Suinian might not be dead yet!”

"Um?!"

The Eighth Elder, Fifth Elder, and Ninth Elder all raised their heads in surprise. Eighteen black thorns piercing the body was a punishment that would surely lead to death. This was a conclusion reached by the Abyss Demon Clan after countless human experiments. How could they not be dead?

“I have no evidence right now, but my intuition tells me that that treacherous and shameless guy won’t die so easily! Fifth Elder, take us to see his body. I have to see his body myself!” An Shengyao said firmly.

"Alright! I'll take you there!" The Fifth Elder nodded hurriedly. He hoped more than anyone else that Qiao Suinian was still alive, and the group set off immediately.

It was still drizzling outside, and a lonely grave stood in the rain. Suddenly, a hand reached out from the damp soil.

This scene is like a zombie apocalypse, and it's only possible if no one is around, otherwise, seeing this scene would drive many people crazy with fear.

Immediately afterwards, a person crawled out of the grave. The person had more than a dozen black steel needles stuck in their body, making them look like a human hedgehog.

The figure that crawled out of the grave slowly pulled out the black steel needles from its body, and then, not forgetting to refill the grave mound, staggered away and disappeared into the drizzling rain...
