"Saintess?" Zuan was taken aback, having never heard of such a title among demons.
Yun Yuqing was also somewhat bewildered, clearly unaware of this.
"Humans!" At this moment, the demon experts recognized their human identities and let out sharp howls. Soon, more demons flew into the sky and surrounded the flying boat.
"Quickly bring this ship to the ground for our inspection!" shouted the leading expert.
Looking at the people on the boat, the demons were all amazed. Even the demons, who were known for their handsomeness, rarely saw so many beautiful women gathered together.
Sensing that they were up to no good, Jiang Luofu and Xie Daoyun gripped their weapons, ready to fight at any moment.
Zuan walked to the bow of the ship and shielded them behind him: "I am the regent of the demon race. Summon the head of the Rong family to see me."
"What regent? Never heard of one? Come on, take down these humans!" The leader sneered and ordered his elite troops to attack.
This ship looks extraordinary; if we could get our hands on it, we'd be rich.
Moreover, these human women are too beautiful. If we capture them, we can do whatever we want with them.
Judging from their attire and the man's boastful tone, they are probably a human prince or nobleman traveling with his female companions. It's a pity they came to the Demon Realm; they're practically courting death.
Upon hearing the order, the surrounding demons launched their attacks, sending various purple lights hurtling towards the flying boat.
Xie Daoyun's fingers flew as she hurriedly manipulated the array plate, and soon a transparent protective shield appeared around the flying boat, blocking the purple beams of light from the outside.
The demon leader's expression changed, and he hurriedly made a gesture to those below.
Suddenly, several crossbows were erected among the mountain peaks below and aimed at the flying boat.
Xie Daoyun was anxious. The formation of the flying boat could withstand the attacks of these individual experts, but if it was hit by the powerful crossbows of the army, it would probably disintegrate on the spot.
Suddenly, a cold snort was heard. Zuan casually waved his hand, and the crossbows that were gathering energy were destroyed by an unknown force. The surrounding demon soldiers were stunned by this sudden change.
Not to mention them, the demon experts in the air were equally bewildered, and they didn't even see the opponent's move clearly.
"Enemy attack! Activate the highest level immediately..." The leading demon expert was shocked and was shouting when his voice suddenly stopped.
The demon companions around him were stunned. Where did he go?
The next second, he saw that the human man had just raised his hand, and then he was pulled in front of him by a strange force, and then his whole body instantly turned into a dried-up corpse.
Zuan tossed the demon's corpse aside: "Now, can anyone tell me where the Rong family head is?"
He hadn't missed the guy's lewd gaze. Since he was up to no good, he'd send him on his way.
The demons around them suddenly felt dizzy, and when they came to their senses, they found themselves on the flying boat, with the man opposite them staring coldly at them.
They couldn't help but swallow hard; they all knew they'd run into a tough opponent.
At this moment, one of them cautiously replied, "The patriarch is not here. He was invited by the Yun family patriarch to lead the clan's army to provide support."
"What does the Yun family patriarch want him to do?" Yun Yuqing asked in surprise.
"They not only called for our family head, but also the head of the Wu family. Now the Yun family, the Wu family, and the Rong family are joining forces to attack the Soren family." Another person answered quickly, seeing the miserable state of his companion just now, afraid that he would be treated as worthless trash and disposed of casually.
Zuan frowned slightly. He remembered that back in the Sealed Land, Soren Shi had returned to the Demon Clan to check on the situation because the Demon Clan's reinforcements had not arrived. How did it turn into the other three families besieging the Soren family?
I wonder if Sorenshi is doing well now.
"Why would you join forces to attack the Soren family?" Yun Yuqing was quite puzzled. She knew that although the four major demon families were not particularly close, they could still be considered to be of one mind with each other.
There have even been many intermarriages between them, and there has never been a situation where the other three families joined forces to attack a single family.
Moreover, the Yun family is the strongest among the four major families, so strictly speaking, the other three families should be the ones uniting to deal with the Yun family.
"Because the Soren family refuses to offer up the Holy Maiden, nor are they willing to hand over the Four Symbols Stones," a Rong family expert quickly replied.
"Holy Maiden, Four Symbols Stone?" Zu An looked at Yun Yuqing with a puzzled expression; he had never heard of these terms before.
Even the usually learned Xie Daoyun and Jiang Luofu were somewhat bewildered, as outsiders knew very little about the affairs of the demon race.
At this moment, Yun Yuqing replied, "I have heard of the Four Symbols Stone. It is said that the four major families each possess a special stone. The Yun family has the Azure Dragon Stone, the Soren family has the White Tiger Stone, the Rong family has the Vermilion Bird Stone, and the Wu family has the Black Tortoise Stone. However, I have always thought it was just a legend. I asked the elders of my clan before, and they all said they had never seen it. Could it really exist?"
Zaun was also puzzled: what was the connection between the demon race and the Four Symbols?
Wait a minute, the Wu family is associated with Xuanwu (Black Tortoise). I used to think the Wu family name was the Wu of the Golden Crow, but now it seems to be the Wu of the Tortoise?
"Huh, how does the young lady know so many secrets of our clan?" one of the Rong family experts asked, somewhat shocked.
Yun Yuqing didn't answer, but instead asked, "From what you just said, has the Rong family already handed over the Vermilion Bird Stone? And to whom?"
"Yes, not only the Rong family, but also the Wu family handed over the basalt stone."
"Of course, it should be handed over to the Yun family."
...
The people answered in a cacophony of voices.
"The Yun family?" Yun Yuqing's expression changed slightly. "They tell you to hand you over and you just obey?"
