Heaven knows that Ji Mo Fan had absolutely no improper thoughts.
He was simply responding to Xihe's question about clothes with genuine feelings.
If Xihe is willing to obediently adopt Xiao Wangyan's face and return to the cultivation world with him, then he can agree with his strange aesthetic sense.
One thing at a time.
The surrounding demon generals were completely misled by Wu Qi's ambiguous words and Xi He's reaction, and no one dared to speak for a long time, let alone step forward to make a move.
Pshaw, judging by how close these two are, they must have dug a pit for them to fall into.
Who would be so easily fooled?
Although they were all demonic cultivators, none of them did not yearn to sit in the highest position in the demon realm.
But wanting something and wishful thinking are two different things.
None of the demon generals present hadn't laid a hand on their Demon Lord Xiao Wangyan, but at least that was under controllable circumstances.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be foolish?
"Reporting to the General, the fires within the main city have been completely contained..."
A young guard came running in at a very inopportune moment to report.
But before he could finish speaking, he was stunned speechless by the bizarre sight before him.
What's going on? What did he see?
The Venerable One has been taken hostage by the Venerable One? And the other Demon Generals are all standing by, doing nothing?
No, where did he get it? Is this still the Demon Realm?
Shocked and unsure of what to do, the guard instinctively placed his hand on the sword at his waist.
But before his fingertips could even feel the coldness of the sword hilt, an even colder aura rushed towards him.
The sweeping ice-attribute spiritual energy, tinged with blood, slammed into him around the waist, sending him crashing into the courtyard wall behind him. A soft, condensing sound rang out, and when he came to his senses from his dazed state, he found himself completely frozen to the wall.
Forget about drawing his sword to save the emperor, even his fingers were frozen stiff.
God knows he didn't really intend to fight to the death just now.
Just kidding. Even the Venerable One didn't resist at all. Wouldn't a nobody like him just become cannon fodder?
Ji Mofan had merely casually raised his sword and unleashed a slash of sword energy, so casually that he hadn't even pulled the sword from the Demon Lord's hand.
The scene was quite horrifying. The action tore open the wound, causing crimson blood to splatter all over the ground. Neither Ji Mofan nor the bleeding man showed much change in expression.
The scene was so bizarre that it made people wonder if the sword in Ji Mofan's hand had really injured the Demon Lord.
His action completely silenced the demon generals who were still hesitating about whether to make a move.
His Majesty showed no intention of resisting.
Otherwise, even if he couldn't break free from Ji Mofan's grasp because of the Demon-Binding Rope, he wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state, stuck on Ji Mofan's sword like a candied hawthorn.
Looking at it now, it's like playing with a child's safety.
Ji Mofan didn't pay attention to the various strange expressions on the faces of the demon generals.
The Snow Embracing Sword drew a semi-circle in the air, carrying a chilling spiritual energy as it circled back to Xihe. His left hand, still gripping the talisman, had already left a clear red mark on Xihe's neck.
"Thank you all for your hospitality these past few days. I hope we will meet again someday."
Ji Mo Fan uttered these words, whether out of politeness or sarcasm, as cold-toned spiritual energy gathered beneath his feet, propelling him into the air and leaping straight out of the encirclement of several demon generals.
Those people seemed not to have expected his reaction, and none of them made any immediate response.
By the time they came to their senses, both of them had disappeared from sight.
"He's really gone?" The demonic cultivator wielding the meteor hammer exclaimed in surprise, his eyes flashing with fury as he slammed the metal hammer head heavily onto the eaves beside him.
The tiles shattered, and the roof beams were also cracked by the blow. With a few more tremors, the two-story building collapsed irrevocably.
Wu Qi was about to speak.
But after thinking about it, he shut his mouth again.
His Majesty forbids anyone from causing trouble within the main city area.
But now the Demon Lord is no longer in the main city.
Whether they can come back to continue pursuing accountability remains to be seen.
Or to put it more bluntly, in a few days, it's uncertain who the entire demon realm will listen to.
"What about those righteous cultivators who were imprisoned in the Demon Palace by the Venerable One?" As if this blow had also opened his mind, the demon cultivator, who was always headstrong and reckless, actually started to use his brain.
"His Majesty has also requested that they be present to witness today's grand ceremony," someone replied to him.
"So the person should still be in the main hall?"
"Let's go check it out right away!"
Reminded by this, everyone snapped out of their daze and quickly took flight, heading towards the Demon Palace.
Ji Mo Fan ran away with the Demon Lord, his figure hidden among the demon cultivators watching outside, making him difficult to find. However, there were not many people in the Demon Palace, so finding him would be easy.
Wu Qi, however, lagged behind the others, not holding much hope for the matter.
Wu Qi would never believe that Ji Mo Fan had deliberately dragged the Venerable One to such a conspicuous place just now, unless it was to deliberately attract their attention.
Although the delay wasn't too long, if someone had intended to escape, they certainly wouldn't be inside the Demon Palace by now.
The guards of the Demon Palace have all been sent out to maintain order, and most of the maids have also been sent outside the city to help. Now, the Demon Palace is the most laxly guarded place in the entire main city.
That has always been the case.
If the consciousnesses intersect, and if neither party handles the situation properly, it can easily cause discomfort to the soul. Therefore, most of the guards in the main city rely on their eyes to carry out their patrols.
