Chapter 778: Against the Will of Heaven
A trace of blood oozed from the corner of Li Yuan's lips.
However, he showed no sign of backing down and bravely withstood the surging heat from the Holy Dragon Blood-Weeping Spear.
A terrifying, ferocious look appeared on Chi Ye's exquisite face, and the spiritual energy around him surged even more fiercely.
Not far away, Qingzhu, transformed into a giant python, opened its blood-red maw, ready to rush over and deliver a fatal blow to Li Yuan.
Just then, a fierce wind filled with danger swept towards it. Qingzhu took a few steps back and stared at Yingfeng, who appeared in front of it, with its wide black snake eyes.
"Shadow Wind Beast! You're going to stop me?!" Qingzhu's hoarse voice was filled with murderous intent.
Yingfeng coldly replied, "I only obey the orders of my contractors."
Those who offend my demon realm shall be killed without exception!
Qingzhu laughed heartily, drops of venom dripping from his gleaming white fangs: "Then let's see if your dark spiritual energy has a stronger corrosive power, or my venom!"
Deafening roars erupted as two top-tier sacred beasts grappled with each other, their spiritual energy fluctuations no less powerful than those of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Bai Gang, wielding a sharp blade, severed the head of a demonic beast, splattering its thick, pungent blood all over him.
In the blink of an eye, they saw Li Yu coming towards them.
"Urgent report! Thorns have appeared in Lingxiao City!" Li Yu's face was grim. "I'll stay here to assist Your Majesty. You must go to Lingxiao City immediately!"
Jiang Bai nodded and turned to head due west without pausing.

Lingxiao City.
Yu Muhan has never stepped outside the human realm.
She had never known that the lifestyle of the demon race was not much different from that of the human race.
If it weren't for the presence of one of the Seven Divine Messengers beside her, she would have mistaken this place for the human realm...
As the throngs of demons passed by, with stalls and shops lining both sides of the street and laughter echoing in his ears, Yu Muhan felt a pang of pity.
She turned to the Seven Divine Messengers beside her and asked softly, "Are we really going to destroy this town?"
The seven envoys stopped and looked down at her. After a long while, he smiled and asked, "Miss Yu, are you reluctant to part with me?"
Yu Muhan took a deep breath and met the eyes of the Seven Divine Envoys: "I just feel that there is no need to kill all the demons here because of Ye Fei."
"Such practices violate the laws of nature."
"Going against the will of Heaven?" The Seven Divine Envoys snorted, their voices filled with mockery. "The demon race is inherently a vile race. The Holy Church's plan to exterminate the demon race is not going against the will of Heaven, but rather acting on behalf of Heaven."
“Miss Yu is still young and retains compassion for the demons, which I can understand.” The Seventh Envoy said, his shoulders tensing slightly, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes. “Once, when I was young, I also believed that there were more evildoers than just demons, until I witnessed my people being killed by them…”
After a long pause, he turned to face Yu Muhan and said coldly, "Miss Yu, you are a quasi-saintess. Your gentleness and compassion should be reserved for the world, not for the demon race."
Yu Muhan clenched his fists, staring intently at the Seven Divine Envoys: "But these demons who struggle for survival have never done anything heinous... Should they also be brutally murdered?"
The Seven Gods sneered, all traces of their usual gentleness and kindness vanishing from their faces: "Every demon, from the moment of their birth, is bound by the shackles of slaughter."
"The peace you see now is nothing more than the tranquility before their bloodlust awakens."
