Chapter 772: The Enemy's Speed
The human realm, the sacred religion.
Murong Dan leaned against a wall, a black butterfly resting on the back of her hand.
He raised his slender fingers and gently touched the butterfly's wings, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
"The peace between the demon race and the monster race that has lasted for several years can be destroyed with ease."
"The legendary Holy Emperor Chi Ye is a ruler who values loyalty and affection, and Bai Shuang is a follower who has been by her side for many, many years... and yet she was severely injured by 'you'. Tsk tsk."
"I'd like to see how you're going to dodge this overwhelming rage from the Blazing Holy Dragon."
Murong Dan murmured softly, as if talking to herself, and with a wave of her hand, the butterfly that was resting on the back of her hand fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.
Watching the butterfly fly away, Murong Dan turned her casual gaze toward the council hall not far away.
Today marks the sixth day since the official start of the demon-slaying operation.
The matter with Chi Ye has been resolved.
Next up is you—Ye Fei!
Murong Dan stood in the shadows where no light shone, and with a flash, she disappeared from the spot.

The Demon Realm.
After urging Li Yuan to take the pill, Ye Fei took out a row of silver needles, preparing to arrange his acupuncture treatment for the day.
Just then, Jiang Bai's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty! Urgent report!"
Li Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, had a slight glint in his eyes. After hearing Jiang Bai's words, Ye Fei buttoned up his collar again and said with a serious expression, "There's an urgent report at this time? Go and take a look quickly."
Li Yuan nodded: "Okay, you wait for me here."
He covered the back of the girl's head with his hand, kissed her hard with his lips, and then got up and left the palace.
The bedroom door was closed, and Ye Fei could only put away the silver needles she had just taken out. For no reason, she felt a tightness in her chest and felt uncomfortable.
She put her hand on her pulse and checked it, but found nothing unusual.
Ah... Is it because you've been overworked recently from administering acupuncture to Li Yuan?
Ye Fei covered her forehead, which was at a normal temperature, and pouted.
She took off her coat and lay sprawled on the large bed.
Beside the bed was a dark embroidered robe that Li Yuan hadn't had time to put on. She picked up the robe, hugged it to her chest, and closed her eyes.
She slept for most of the day.
When Ye Fei woke up, Li Yuan had not yet returned.
It was completely dark outside. Ye Fei stood by the window, gazing at the dense darkness, and raised an eyebrow.
He's been gone for a full half day...
What urgent matter requires your attention?
Could it be... something about her?!
Ye Fei patted her face; now was not the time to let her mind wander.
She put on Li Yuan's outer robe and left the palace for the main hall, intending to find something to eat to fill her stomach.
Upon arriving at the main hall, several demon maids brought out fragrant dishes. Although Ye Fei was very hungry, with Li Yuan not by her side, even the most delicious food failed to tempt her to eat.
She could only eat slowly alone in the empty main hall, the crisp sound of her chopsticks tapping on her rice bowl sounding especially lonely.
After finishing her meal, Ye Fei did not return to her palace, but instead wandered around the Demon Palace.
After walking for a while, she vaguely heard two demon guards talking in hushed tones outside the palace.
"Your Excellency and the two Dharma Protectors left in a hurry today. Has something important happened?"
"I don't know. His Majesty only instructed us to guard the Demon Palace properly... Please stop talking and let's go patrol the area together."
Ye Fei frowned. Had Bai and Li Yu left the Demon Palace with Li Yuan?
An ominous premonition rose in Ye Fei's heart, and she couldn't help but look eastward—
That is the direction where the human realm borders the eastern continent.
