He bowed respectfully to Shu Yun in the distance, saying, "Lord Shu Yun."
A fierce gale surrounded Shu Yun and his group, protecting Zi E and the others behind them. Even with half of their divine power sealed, these immortals, being the most powerful beings in the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, still possessed considerable fighting strength.
The other party was sensible, and Shu Yun didn't want to kill anyone, so she nodded to them and said, "Let them out."
The leading demons exchanged bewildered glances. "Who do you mean?"
“The people from Penglai, and the few behind me.”
The demon glanced at the group protected by the gale. Zi'e was an immortal from Penglai, so letting her go was perfectly reasonable. It wouldn't hurt to release Feng Ziyi, that notorious spoiled brat, either. It was that Siming...
They all knew the position that the Star Lord of Destiny held in the previous brief war between immortals and demons. Their conquest of the far north of the demon realm was only the first step. In the long run, their ultimate goal was to kill all the immortals of the Nine Heavens.
If we could resolve the matter of the Fate Master, who could potentially become the Jade Emperor's right-hand man, here beforehand...
"The Purple Calyx Immortal and Feng Zi's translation of 'Immortal' are naturally fine, but this Star Lord of Fate is always opposing my Demon Realm in the Nine Heavens..."
Before the great demon could finish speaking, a gust of wind grazed his ear, leaving a bloody mark.
The sound of wind whistling through Shu Yun's sleeves was a warning, though she did not speak.
The opponent's attack wounded him silently, demonstrating the vast difference in their strength.
The demons said no more. This god only asked that the two people from the Ninth Heaven be released, which didn't seem too unreasonable.
"Let them out."
The frost flowers covering the mountain were destroyed piece by piece due to the sudden outbreak of battle. The beautiful petals were torn apart by magic or demonic energy and scattered on the ground.
Jiang Yan was afraid that the rising demonic energy would arouse Shu Yun's suspicion, so he concealed his whereabouts.
He struggled against the violent evil energy within him, staggering through the sea of flowers. Not far away, a group of demons happened to be killing the fairies inside the pavilion, and red blood was spilled on the frost flowers.
After the demons killed the gods, they were in a state of extreme excitement when, as soon as they stepped outside, another surprise befell them.
Amidst the snow-like flowers, a man in black robes appeared to be injured, his gait unsteady and labored. Comparing him to the portrait in their hands, it was undoubtedly the person they were looking for.
I've heard that this newly appointed Demon Lord is handsome and powerful. Now that he's alone and his demonic energy is unstable, just like when they go astray during cultivation, isn't this heaven helping them?
The group of demons moved closer silently, forming an encirclement that trapped Jiang Yan inside.
Jiang Yan's already pale skin lost its last trace of color. He felt violent and uneasy, incredibly thirsty for blood, and wanted to kill, more so than ever before.
He achieved a level that other demonic cultivators could not reach even after ten thousand years in just a hundred years, so naturally he had to endure a more intense and dangerous backlash.
The demons recklessly approached, and he suppressed the bloodlust raging within him. Each act of killing and being devoured by demonic energy would only bring him temporary relief; if it were to erupt again, he would be unable to control it.
He could only hope that the demons would know their place and leave, but the probability of that was probably zero.
As the demonic energy of the monsters attacked Jiang Yan, a flash of bloodlust crossed Jiang Yan's eyes. He became violent and frenzied, unleashing demonic energy hundreds of times stronger than that of the monsters, which then enveloped them.
Those demons who thought they could take advantage of Jiang Yan's demonic possession and kill the Demon Lord didn't even have time to scream before they were completely devoured by Jiang Yan's demonic energy.
Jiang Yan was surrounded by black mist, his eyes flashing between black and red. He gripped his clothes tightly at his chest and clenched his teeth.
His mind kept repeating her merciless "no," and on one hand, he wanted to kill all of Feng Ziyi's people, all of whom were more important to Shu Yun than him. On the other hand, reason told him that he couldn't do that, because doing so would definitely make her despise him.
As the demonic energy attacked, she instinctively went to save Feng Ziyi...
Why don't we go back and kill all those people? Kill whoever she cares about, kill them until she only has him left in her heart. That way, wouldn't he be number one in her heart?
Jiang Yan gasped for breath, bloodshot eyes rising in his gaze. He clutched his head and bent over in agony.
Shu Yun, Shu Yun...
Stay with me, don't leave me, and don't care about anyone else...
He plunged into the abyss of demons with his desires, and then climbed out of the abyss of demons because of his intense desires. As his cultivation level increased rapidly, his inner demons also grew rapidly and took root in his heart.
He clung to the last vestige of clarity in his mind, refusing to succumb to his inner demons, unaware that another group of demons was searching along the pier.
