Wei Lan dodged aside, exposing Qi Yu behind him to the Demon Lord Chen Yan's watchful eye.
His exceptionally bright purple eyes stared intently at the Demon Lord Chenyan, and he said, "We noble demons are naturally different from you lowly creatures."
"It is utterly ridiculous for humans to lump you together with the demon race."
“We feed on emotions…” His gaze drifted lightly to the mess on the long table, and he curled one corner of his mouth, saying, “How can something that can only draw power from human flesh and blood compare to us?”
Qi Yu was startled, not expecting that the monsters in this world had such a setting.
No wonder there's so little information about high-level monsters.
No, they should be called the true demons.
They are powerful and only need to consume emotions, so they don't need to kill anyone. If they slightly conceal the color of their eyes, naturally no one will notice.
The demons and the low- and mid-level demons in the book seem to be of different races, so why are they all gathered together now?
Especially considering that Wei Lan, a demon, held other demons in utter contempt.
As Qi Yu's mind raced, the demons began to stir because of Wei Lan's words. However, they were no match for Wei Lan, a demon, and could only turn their expectant gazes toward the Demon Lord Chen Yan, who sat at the head of the table.
The Demon Lord Shenyan glanced at Wei Lan with apprehension, comparing the difference in strength between himself and Wei Lan in his mind, and suddenly reached out his hand to Qi Yu, who was standing still.
A powerful suction force pulled Qi Yu toward the Demon Lord Chen Yan, and instantly, her neck was gripped by a pair of rough, large hands.
Qi Yu: "???"
She hasn't done anything yet!
Why arrest her?!
The Demon Lord Chenyan grabbed Qi Yu and said, "Wei Lan, your demon race has long been in decline. The Wuji Continent will soon be the domain of the lowly demons you speak of!"
"Today I will not hold your arrogant words against you. Seeing that you are quite protective of this person, I will eat her to teach you a lesson: humans are just food for us!"
He tightened his grip, about to snap Qi Yu's neck.
Qi Yu's heart was pounding. Seeing Wei Lan standing indifferently to the side, seemingly having no intention of saving her, she was about to mentally call for Feng Xiao to come out and help.
In a flash, the woman in white who had been sitting quietly lost in thought suddenly moved.
She flashed to the side of Demon Lord Shenyan, and with a gentle yet undeniable movement, pried open Demon Lord Shenyan's fingers and snatched Qi Yu from his grasp.
After carrying Qi Yu back to her seat, she finally spoke, "Demon Lord Chen Yan, this is my personal maid. Please give me some face."
The Demon Lord Chenyan's eyes trembled, clearly not expecting that Fenxin would so easily rescue the person from his grasp.
Fenxin slowly raised her eyes, her watery almond-shaped eyes curving slightly, and said, "Didn't we capture a few cultivators from the Flying Star Sect today? I imagine they would be more to the Demon Lord's liking than me, a mere maid."
The Demon Lord Shenyan stared at her intently, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Good! Since it is the Holy Maiden who has spoken, then bring those Flying Star Sect members here to me!"
Wei Lan sat back down, but his gaze toward Qi Yu held a newfound inquisitiveness.
He hadn't had much contact with this Blood Fiend Cult's Holy Maiden.
But he heard that this woman, who appeared ethereal on the surface, was actually someone who didn't care about anything.
She was determined to revive the demon god Qi Yan, because the legendary Qi Yan possessed the demonic flames that could incinerate everything.
Although the prophecy said that the Wuji Continent would be ruled by the demon race after that, he always felt that this woman wanted to destroy the whole world.
In short, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would care about the life of a maid.
Strange.
He looked at the ordinary girl standing behind Fenxin, whose face, though veiled, couldn't hide her shock and seemed still in shock, and a glint flashed in his purple eyes.
This person is not simple.
A commotion arose outside the hall.
Several demonic cultivators dressed in black carried a huge cage into the main hall.
After the leader of the demonic cultivators presented the key to the cage to the Demon Lord Chenyan, he bowed his head and left respectfully.
There were nine people imprisoned in the cage, several of whom were unconscious.
Qi Yu's eyes flickered, concealing her surprise.
One of the demonic cultivators sitting at the table stood up, pointed smugly at a person in the cage, and said, "Demon Lord, there was another one who sneaked in today trying to rescue someone, but I caught him too. He's quite good-looking!"
The demonic cultivator waved his black spiritual energy, turning a person's face towards the direction of the Demon Lord Chenyan.
It was none other than He Miao, who had come in with Qi Yu to help with the rescue.
She turned her head indifferently, holding her sword in her hand, showing no sign of tension about being devoured by monsters.
To Qi Yu's surprise, Wu Shuyi and Chen Buming were also among them.
The two sat trembling beside He Miao, not daring to breathe loudly in the face of so many powerful and terrifying demonic cultivators and creatures.
Upon hearing the demonic cultivator's words, Wu Shuyi, who was quite beautiful, lowered her face like a quail, fearing that some demon or demonic cultivator might take a liking to her and devour her alive, or use her as a furnace.
The demonic cultivator pointing at He Miao laughed, "This guy is unlucky. I guess he came in when the small world was unstable, and he just happened to walk into my room. I caught him red-handed, hahahahaha!"
"She was wearing a magical artifact that could conceal her figure, but alas, she couldn't escape the eyes of others."
Qi Yu's lips twitched slightly. It seemed she was lucky enough to be teleported to a secluded corner, giving her time to disguise herself.
I just don't know where Yan Shi is now.
He wasn't in the cage, so he must be lurking somewhere.
Although Yan Shi possessed the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage, making him a master in the cultivation world, this created small world contained not only demons but also countless demonic creatures and demonic cultivators.
