Yun Ruoyue never expected that this monster would act before the bridal chamber. According to its previous pattern, it should have committed its crimes in the middle of the night.
The group followed her and ran quickly toward Zhang Zhengqing's room.
Before I even pushed open the door, I could hear frantic noises coming from inside.
"That's right. If she weren't rich, who would marry the city lord's daughter?"
"She's so cheap, I could just beckon her with a flick of my finger."
A furious, bloodthirsty female voice said, "None of you men are any good. You might as well go to hell and keep each other company."
"No, I don't want to die. I haven't enjoyed my new life yet."
"Go to sleep."
Yun Ruoyue pushed open the door and saw a man and a woman standing opposite each other. Presumably, the woman was the monster.
The seductive demon, dressed in deep purple, was alluring and bewitching, exuding a demonic aura. Her hand gripped Zhang Zhengqing's neck, her long, sharp nails almost piercing through it.
"Stop, you monster!" Yun Ruoyue drew her sword without saying a word and pointed it at her, with Shen Muqing and the others following behind her.
Lord Li and his daughter also heard Zhang Zhengqing's thoughts. Lady Li felt her heart clench, first a slow, sharp pain in one corner of her heart, then spreading throughout her body, making it hard for her to breathe.
Her hand was on her stomach, her whole body trembling, her face filled with heartache.
"Dad, my stomach hurts so much."
"Don't worry, it's alright. Father's here. Steward, quickly go and fetch the family physician, go quickly."
Lady Li, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, leaned weakly on Lord Li's shoulder, her gaze fixed on Zhang Zhengqing.
"My love, were you telling the truth just now?"
Zhang Zhengqing, being choked, managed to speak with difficulty, "My wife, I've been wronged. She forced me to say this. This isn't my true feeling."
Even with his life in the hands of the Demon of Love, he dared to say such a thing. The Demon of Love gradually tightened his grip, "Those who betray true love must swallow ten thousand silver needles. You deserve to be torn to pieces."
Despite this, Zhang Zhengqing still insisted that he was forced into it.
The group was locked in a struggle, and Yun Ruoyue dared not make any rash moves, fearing that the demon of passion might kill Zhang Zhengqing in a fit of anger.
"Monster, release him!" Ling Yeyao also held a sword, the tip of which was pointed at the demon.
"Monster? Hahahaha, compared to me, you bunch of heartless and rotten men are the real monsters."
The seductive demon laughed wildly, and in a daze, a tear flashed in the corner of her eye. "Zhang Zhengqing, I'll give you two choices: you or your wife, only one of you can live."
These arrogant words completely disregarded Yun Ruoyue and the others.
"How dare you!" Jiang Duxue jumped out and said.
Only Luo Yi was present, quietly observing the demon. Yesterday at the crime scene, the demonic aura left behind was not that strong, but now this demon's cultivation has increased so rapidly that even his master would be no match for it. No wonder it is so arrogant.
"Smack!"
Several bright red handprints appeared on Jiang Duxue's fair face. She turned her head, covering her face in disbelief, "You dare to hit me?"
"Smack!"
Another slap landed on her other cheek. The demon's deep purple eyes looked at her disdainfully, "If I were you, I would quietly hide in the back and not say a word."
Yun Ruoyue had already assessed the situation. The opponent's strength was unfathomable, and they dared to make a move so openly that even she hadn't noticed how Qing Yao had acted.
She shielded Shen Muqing behind her and told her, "Qingqing, find a safe place to hide."
"good!"
Knowing that his weak skills would only be a burden to her if he stayed, Shen Muqing wisely agreed.
Seeing that City Lord Li was about to leave with Li Yinhua, she decided to go with them and act as their bodyguard. "Yueyue, I'll take the City Lord and the others away first."
"good."
Seeing Li Yinhua about to leave, Zhang Zhengqing hissed, veins bulging on his neck, "Wife, don't leave me alone, wife!"
Li Yinhua's expression was somewhat moved, but the bitterness in her heart told her that she couldn't do this, so she left with Shen Muqing.
All the irrelevant people left, and now only a few people remain.
“I have no intention of being enemies with you cultivators. As long as you let me kill him, I will not harm anyone else except him.”
The seductive demon scratched Zhang Zhengqing's face with her long, sharp nails. After a few strokes, several bloody marks appeared on his face. The seductive demon even sighed, "I thought men like you had thicker skin. How come you're so easily touched?"
"Immortals, save me! Please, immortals, save me!"
Zhang Zhengqing grasped at the last straw and clung to it desperately.
Yun Ruoyue gave Luo Yi and Ling Yeyao a look, and they understood what she meant. They immediately activated all their spiritual power, and the demon-binding array had already been set up in the mansion.
As the great formation began, a circle of light formed beneath Qing Yao's feet, and countless tiny chains climbed up from her feet, instantly binding her and rendering her immobile.
Seeing this, Yun Ruoyue used her spiritual power to pull Zhang Zhengqing out. After being rescued, Zhang Zhengqing hurriedly hid behind them.
"Monster, let's see how arrogant you are now." Jiang Duxue hadn't forgotten the two slaps she'd received out of nowhere. As if she had no brains, she rashly went forward, wanting to return the favor by slapping the monster twice.
"Junior sister, don't act rashly."
Yun Ruoyue stopped her, saying that she didn't yet understand the true strength of the Love Demon, and Jiang Duxue's actions were simply courting death.
But Jiang Duxue acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She was always vengeful and wouldn't allow herself to suffer any injustice.
The demon was bound by chains. When she saw Jiang Duxue coming, she lowered her head and smiled, thinking, "Foolish human."
"Bang."
A massive burst of demonic power turned the chains to ashes. In the chaos, only Jiang Duxue was injured. She was knocked to the ground, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
"You're the dumbest one in this group."
The demon looked down at Jiang Duxue.
"Junior Sister." Ling Yeyao quickly went over to help Jiang Duxue up, and Jiang Duxue leaned into his arms. "Senior Brother, kill her quickly."
This scene seemed to sting the eyes of the Demon of Love. The demon-binding array hadn't angered her earlier, but now she was somewhat furious.
"So you're just like them. What's so different about me being a cultivator? Nothing special."
The demon of passion had also heard about the relationship between Yun Ruoyue and Ling Yeyao. She licked her lips lightly with the tip of her tongue and looked directly at Yun Ruoyue.
"I've long admired the senior sister of the Qingyun Sect. Do you need me to deal with this despicable couple for you?"
"Need not."
Yun Ruoyue desperately wanted to, but she couldn't. If something happened to Ling Yeyao, she would probably be finished too.
"Even you're love-struck? That's unbelievable."
The senior disciple of the prestigious Qingyun Sect, her own Daoist partner was supporting another woman right in front of her, she really has a big heart.
Thus, the seductive demon no longer had any scruples, since both parties were willing to give and take.
She moved with incredible speed, instantly appearing in front of Yun Ruoyue. Her movements were unbelievably fast.
Yun Ruoyue raised her sword to block, the sound of sharp blades clashing together; Qingyao's fingernails could cut through iron like mud, they were incredibly hard.
The two fought from inside the house to outside. At first, Yun Ruoyue was able to control her movements freely, but after a while, she couldn't keep up and her sword movements slowed down.
"Senior sister~ It's a pity that you don't cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness with your strength. Why do you ruin your future on a man?"
It is common knowledge that nine out of ten sword cultivators cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, and zero of them can actually succeed. However, if one succeeds, one will ascend to immortality and enjoy boundless glory.
The demon was still reluctant to use excessive force against Yun Ruoyue, it was a pity to waste such a promising talent.
"Stop talking nonsense, if you want to fight, then fight."
Yun Ruoyue gasped for breath, her movements faltering slightly as the demon's fingernails were about to pierce her heart.
