Chapter 365
Even if others don’t know, doesn’t he know it?
Ahem, okay, he didn’t know before…
The guards didn't move, but Hei Jiao had to move.
Even if others don’t know, doesn’t he know it?
Ahem, okay, he didn't know it before, but after being taught a lesson by Fei Yu, if he still doesn't understand that the Demon Lord values this future wife more than his own eyes, then he has lived half his life in vain.
"What a bunch of idiots!" He secretly sentenced these guards to death and decided to find a chance to drive them all away tomorrow.
To make a living in the Demon Palace, you don’t have to have a very high level of cultivation, but you must have good eyesight.
After all, the most powerful person in the Demon Palace is the Demon Lord, and the placement of guards is more of a matter of appearance.
You have offended the Lord of the Demon Palace. What future do you have?
Heijiao glanced at the guards and shook his head silently.
Is Ghost Eye Master scary? He's terrifying! He's so notorious that no one dares to mess with him.
But isn't the Demon Lord scary?
Oh, yes, these people were taken in after the Demon Lord went into seclusion, and they didn’t know much about the Demon Lord. On the contrary, if he remembered correctly, Ghost Eye True Lord had punished someone who had offended him two years ago. That person was also unlucky, and his end was really miserable, which really scared many people.
"Enough!" Black Horn shouted, "I see you're all tired of living!"
In front of his wife, he had to show off, so he simply cast a spell to capture these people first and deal with them later.
But he didn't expect that the young master was so brave that he dared to resist his arrest.
The young master did not attack him, but used the self-defense magic weapon given to him by his grandfather to imprison Heijiao.
"You are so brave!" Heijiao was furious.
In the Demon Palace, he, the chief steward of the Demon Palace, was actually imprisoned. If this were to be made known to others, he would be completely disgraced.
"Humph!" The young master was no fool; he had a clear mind. Since the Demon Lord only liked Cheng Hui's face, he could have killed Cheng Hui and taken over directly.
There have been similar situations before. It is said that the previous Demon Lord once fell in love with the saint of a certain sect and wanted to marry her home. However, before the wedding, she was killed by the saint's sister Li.
It is said that it was not until a long time later that the body of the saint was exposed and discovered. The Demon Lord was not angry and did not even punish the saint's sister.
In the words of the Demon Lord, dramas like this one where sisters turn against each other just prove his charm.
The young master had considered this method before entering the Demon Palace, but this method had a prerequisite, that is, the Demon Lord really did not care about Cheng Hui, otherwise it would easily backfire.
So does the Demon Lord care about Cheng Hui?
Judging from the young master's observation, he naturally doesn't care.
First of all, if the Demon Lord cared about Cheng Hui very much, Hei Jiao would definitely not let so many people in for money to cause trouble for his future wife.
Noire: ???
Secondly, it can be seen from the performance of these guards that their attitude towards Cheng Hui is similar to his own, which shows that they don’t take Cheng Hui seriously at all.
These guards are not fools. If the Demon Lord showed his liking for Cheng Hui, they would not be likely to have such an attitude.
The young master's analysis was very logical. From his point of view, it was obvious that Cheng Hui was out of favor.
Even Cheng Hui wandering around alone in the Demon Palace was regarded by him as proof that he was not favored.
Think about it, those favored people, who would not be surrounded by people when they go out? If nothing else, at least there should be a guard to ensure your safety, right?
But what about Cheng Hui?
He is really alone. If the Demon Lord really cares about him, isn't he afraid that he will be assassinated by someone?
To sum up, Cheng Hui is definitely not favored!
How should I put it... The young master's analysis is not wrong, it even makes some sense.
But how could he know that those guards had no chance to get close to the Demon Lord's bedroom?
Since he couldn't even get close to the bedroom, naturally he had no idea of the Demon Lord's attitude.
Lin Qingqiu knew very well that the reason why Cheng Hui could wander around the Demon Palace without being accompanied was that his lover did not like having too many people around him.
As for the safety issue... launching a sneak attack right under the nose of the Demon Lord is, first of all, a very difficult task.
Besides, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Qingqiu did not reveal Cheng Hui's strength, and Cheng Hui himself habitually restrained his aura.
So in everyone's eyes, Cheng Hui was just a lucky guy who had a face similar to the Demon Lord's ex-lover, which earned him the Demon Lord's favor.
This gives many people the illusion that... I can do it too.
Anyway, this young master had this illusion.
As the most beloved great-grandson of Ghost Eye True Lord, he has no shortage of resources and is also quite talented. He has now reached the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
This speed of cultivation is very good considering that he is only in his fifties.
Unfortunately... he encountered a wall hanging.
After the young master trapped Hei Jiao, he attacked Cheng Hui.
Of course, the guards couldn't just stand by and watch. As guards, they also had the Jindan cultivation level. To be honest, the spoiled Jindan of the young master was not comparable to their Jindan who often experienced fighting.
But the young master had money and power, so he took out another magic weapon to imprison him.
The guards did put up some resistance, but unfortunately they were no match for the power of the magic weapon and were eventually subdued.
Even if some people still have the ability to resist, they just pretend to struggle for a few times and then give up.
What can we do? We are suppressed by a powerful magical weapon and have no way to resist! We are innocent too, right?
Well, many people think so anyway.
The young master controlled Hei Jiao and suppressed the guards, and his next step was to attack Cheng Hui.
He took out a flying shuttle. When Hei Jiao saw the shuttle, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "The Ghostly Soul-Calling Shuttle!"
The young master smiled smugly: "You have good taste." He looked at Cheng Hui, his eyes becoming extremely cold: "If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. Why do you have such a face?"
Before he finished speaking, the shuttle shot out.
Hei Jiao was extremely anxious: "Be careful!"
He was covered in blood, like a bloody man, but he managed to break free from the young master's restraints in a very short time.
However... it was too late.
That shuttle was the hidden weapon that Ghost Eye True Lord carried with him when he was young. It was notorious and countless people had died on it.
Heijiao didn't expect that Master Guiyan would even give such a thing to his great-grandson, otherwise he would never be so arrogant.
If Cheng Hui dies, none of the people present here will survive!
Hei Jiao couldn't bear to see Cheng Hui's miserable condition. An ordinary person was killed by the shuttle, and even his soul would be devoured by the evil spirit inside and become its nourishment.
Bang!
"Um?"
Cheng Hui's puzzled voice sounded, and Hei Jiao was stunned for a moment when he heard it. Why wasn't it a scream?
He raised his head suddenly and saw that 'ordinary' 'common man' holding the crushed shuttle in his hand, looking at him with a puzzled expression, his face full of the thought: That's it?
Blackhorn: ...
Hei Jiao was dumbfounded, staring at Cheng Hui in a daze, unable to speak.
Apart from him, everyone present was stunned by the scene before them.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The young master screamed like killing a chicken.
The other guards, including Hei Jiao, were actually exclaiming in their hearts.
The Ghost Soul-Taking Shuttle was the favorite weapon of the Ghost Eye True Lord when he was young. It claimed countless lives.
The reason why I emphasize that it is for young people is mainly because this thing can almost instantly kill cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, but for cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage... it's just that.
The reason why this thing is so powerful is that the ghost trained inside can send out a powerful spiritual impact when attacking.
Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage didn't have strong spiritual consciousness, so they naturally couldn't withstand the impact of this Nascent Soul-level spiritual consciousness. However, once promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, their spiritual consciousness would become even stronger, and they would also be able to defend themselves against other spiritual attacks.
Therefore, this Yin Gui Soul-Taking Shuttle is the life-taking weapon for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.
However……
Cheng Hui was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even before his breakthrough, his spiritual awareness was incomparably powerful.
Not to mention that this Ghost Soul-Calling Shuttle can't hurt him now, even in the past, the threat it could pose to him was limited.
The most powerful move of this thing is the impact of the ghost's consciousness inside. The attack power itself is ordinary. Cheng Hui looks like an ordinary person on the surface, but inside he is not only a Yuanying master, but also a golden armored corpse with refined body cultivation.
As for this little thing called the shuttle, apart from the impact of spiritual consciousness, it is still a question whether it can break through his skin.
Perhaps it was because the young master was too proud just now that he suffered retribution now. When he saw the crushed shuttle, his first reaction was disbelief.
How is this possible?
Isn't this guy just an ordinary person? How could he possibly crush the shuttle given to him by his grandfather?
You know, he used this shuttle to kill many people, and every one of them died under the shuttle? Why did it go wrong when it came to Cheng Hui?
The young master couldn't accept this result.
However, Hei Jiao was overjoyed after confirming Cheng Hui's extraordinary strength.
How could he not be happy? He had truly experienced what it meant to escape death.
As long as Cheng Hui himself is fine, there is no big problem. As for other punishments, he will accept them. It was his own fault for being greedy in the first place.
"Catch him for me!" Hei Jiao shouted angrily, immediately waking up the guards on the scene.
This time, these people did not dare to drag their feet, let alone try to smooth things over.
Their neglect of Cheng Hui was based on the assumption that he was an ordinary person destined to fall out of favor in the future. But now that they realized he was a Nascent Soul cultivator, the guards naturally knew what to do.
Of course, a bad impression will definitely be left, but it is better to do it now than not to do it. Maybe you can even save some points in my impression.
After all... isn't this a more tragic contrast...
The guards secretly glanced at the young master, and their hearts were secretly happy at his distraught look.
What they feared was the Ghost Eye Master, not this arrogant young master. They were naturally happy to see him get humiliated.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you be a Nascent Soul cultivator!" The young master looked panicked.
He couldn't help but panic, as all his plans were based on killing Cheng Hui.
But now it seems that not only can he not kill Cheng Hui, it is even a question whether he can survive.
He was not stupid, and he knew very well that the source of his arrogance was his great-grandfather, so he immediately shouted: "If anyone dares to touch me, my grandfather, Ghost Eye True Lord, will not let you go!"
"Oh? I'd like to see how Ghost Eye will not let me go?" Lin Qingqiu walked out from behind the curtain with a stern expression, staring at the young master coldly.
