Chapter 182 West Courtyard

With a loud bang and billowing dust and smoke, another tall building in Yu Garden was collapsed by the violent energy, and the sound of cracking bricks echoed everywhere.

But at this moment, in the black palace that looked like a crawling giant beast, a majestic aura suddenly began to surge.

After sensing this breath, the Scale Clan leader and the Fang Clan leader immediately turned their heads and looked in the direction of the Demon Emperor's Palace, and instantly clenched their fists.

"It seems... His Majesty already knows."

"I also felt the breath of the Heavenly General."

"Brother Mule, you really hurt me this time."

"Although it took a while, since Shuhe has already infiltrated, it can be considered a success after all. It's a pity that I wanted to kill a few immortal cultivators to make this matter even more irreversible..."

The chief of the Scale Clan murmured in the cold wind, then turned to look in the direction of the west courtyard.

There had been a sword fight in that place before, and it must have been because someone was guarding the courtyard and was bumped into by Shuhe, but by now the sword intent had died down, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

At this time, the Imperial Heavenly Demon General was already roaring over with his Imperial Demon Soldiers. They landed with a bang and filled the entire street in an instant.

They were all wearing heavy black armor, holding gleaming spears in their hands. When they stood in line, they looked like a huge dark cloud rolling in, and the powerful pressure instantly swept across the entire street.

Afterwards, the demon soldiers and generals rushed into Yu Garden under their gaze, so that the sound of fighting in the courtyard suddenly became fierce.

But there were four others who did not enter the hospital. Instead, they stepped on the ground in front of the Jade Garden. The heavy energy directly burst the snow on the ground and leaped into the air onto the high tower.

Then the four of them attacked at the same time without saying anything, grabbed the shoulders of the two leaders of the Scaled Fang tribe, and escorted them from the top of the tower to the ground.

During this process, none of them resisted, not even the slightest movement, let alone protesting their injustice.

This is just like what the Demon Emperor said in front of the palace, they are not traitors, they did not commit rebellion, they just want to relieve the worries of His Majesty, and they also want their tribe to return to Kyushu.

So even if they were captured, their chests still stood proudly, as straight as pine trees.

At this moment, a rustling sound of footsteps was heard, and Feng Yang came walking on the heavy snow in the street.

She was still wearing the thin white dress, her face was pale, and she looked solemnly at Yu Yuan, then at the two clan leaders.

"Is a war that causes great suffering to all living beings really a good thing for our demon race?"

The chief of the Scale Clan raised his eyes upon hearing the voice and said, "Your Highness, our clan originally lived in Kyushu. We came to the Snow Region out of helplessness. We have a responsibility. We cannot let our descendants hide in this barren land for generations."

Princess Fengyang looked at the fearless clan leader with cold eyes: "If all our clan members die in the war, what generations will we have?"

"You have to give it a try, otherwise you will never have a chance, right?"

"You are clearly just pursuing your own selfish desires. Stop being so righteous and prepare to spend the rest of your lives in a cold cell on top of Twin Peaks."

The chief of the Scale Tribe raised his eyes after hearing this and said, "Your Highness, Mule knows that he is guilty, but Mule will not be put in prison, because after tonight, Mule is willing to die on the battlefield for Your Majesty as an apology to Your Majesty."

[If there are casualties among the human race, then kill them all, and do it thoroughly]

[If the human delegation really dies, our demon race’s counterattack on Kyushu will be a foregone conclusion]

Thinking of what his father and brother said, Feng Yang's pretty face turned even paler: "Where is Shuhe? Where did he go?"

The chief of the Lin Clan suddenly smiled with relief: "Shuhe has sneaked into the West Courtyard with the wind. Not long ago, there was suddenly no sound there. Your Highness, this is not my choice, this is God's choice."

The chiefs of the Hair Tribe and the Claw Tribe also came here at this time, because before this, the concealing magic tools used by the Scale and Fang Tribes had become ineffective, and they were therefore able to feel the sound in the Jade Garden.

He came hurriedly at this time and couldn't help revealing a bitter expression when he heard Mule's words.

Although they have different political views, they are not enemies. Upon hearing that the Scaled and Fanged tribes had acted so decisively tonight, they had no idea what to make of it.

At this time, Feng Yang gritted his teeth and walked into the Jade Garden.

At this time, the battle in the courtyard had ended due to the powerful combat power of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the three demon generals of the Scale Clan were all suppressed to the ground by the demon soldiers and generals.

The demonization time of these mysterious demon generals has ended at this time, but the fighting spirit in their hearts has not subsided, and their eyes are full of unwillingness.

Yan Chuan, Huo Hong and others were standing on the opposite side of them, panting, looking a little embarrassed, with many wounds on their bodies, but they were still alive at this time, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

"You used a banquet as bait to disperse us, and then attacked and killed the envoy at night. So this is your demon tribe's way of entertaining guests?"

Feng Yang came to the courtyard and said, "What happened last night was just a misunderstanding. It was caused by the rebels in the city. My demon clan will definitely give everyone an explanation."

Yan Chuan snorted coldly, "Forget it. The demon tribe doesn't seem to be so easy to treat. How dare we keep them here any longer? We humans sent envoys here just because we don't want the ancient friendship between the two tribes to be instigated by those with ulterior motives. But since the demon tribe doesn't think so, we won't be afraid of fighting."

"Please be patient, everyone. Let's check first... to see if there are any casualties."

Feng Yang said this and then turned his gaze towards the silent west courtyard.

The battle between the Central Courtyard and the East Courtyard had been going on until all the soldiers came from the Demon Emperor's Palace, and there was still sword energy in the air.

But the only difference is the west courtyard, which is the courtyard where the human envoys live.

Long before they arrived, the place was already as silent as death.

Feng Yang is a woman after all. Although she has a noble status and good fighting ability, she feels a little discouraged when facing the West Courtyard.

The demon general Shuhe is not very powerful, but he ranks among the top three in the scale clan.

The leader of the Lin tribe said earlier that Shuhe had sneaked into the west courtyard for a long time.

So she didn't know what kind of scene she would see when she stepped in.

Ye Han followed behind the imperial sister all the way. Seeing that she was silent for a long time and did not take a step, he knew her fear.

"Is there anyone guarding inside?"

Feng Yang turned his head and looked at Yan Chuan, the elder of Lingjian Mountain who was standing beside him.

Yan Chuan was leaning on his sword at this time, and he spoke up when he heard the voice: "Since nightfall, Ji You has been guarding the courtyard, but no one has ever been able to get past my sword and enter the west courtyard."

At this time, Jiang Chenfeng came from the East Courtyard and frowned when he heard the voice: "No, I saw Ji You draw his sword."

Yan Chuan: “?”

Hearing this, Ye Han subconsciously looked at his imperial sister and found that her face was even paler than when he knew that the Linya and Fang tribes had besieged Yuyuan.

Gongshu Chou came from the East Courtyard at this time, his left sleeve already soaked with blood. When he saw the leaders of the Linya and Ya tribes, he was so furious that he was about to kick them, but was persuaded to stop.

Afterwards, Jiang Yan, Yan Qiubai, and Jiang Yuerou also gathered together with swords in hand. Looking at the monsters in front of them, they couldn't hide their anger at all.

"Who entered the West Courtyard?"

"Demon General Shuhe is extremely fast and is best at assassination..."

"?"

At this time, Jiang Yan, Yan Qiubai, Jiang Yuerou and others realized that the atmosphere was not right, so they turned to look at Jiang Chenfeng: "What happened? What West Courtyard?"

Jiang Chenfeng looked at his cousin and said, "During the melee last night, a demon general who was most skilled in killing people sneaked into the west courtyard silently."

Yan Qiubai's eyes widened: "How is it possible? The only way to enter the West Courtyard is through the Central Courtyard or the East Courtyard. Those two places are guarded by Elder Yan and Elder Huo. They are both boundless masters, how could they not notice it?"

“So, this is what’s scary…”

Upon hearing this, Gongshu Chou stepped forward, drew his sword and smashed the gate of the west courtyard, and the others followed him.

When everyone stepped into the courtyard, the first thing they saw was the chaos.

All the cedars planted in the yard had been cut in half and covered with new snow. There were deep cut marks on the doors and windows, and even a beam had collapsed after being cut.

The snow on the ground seemed to have been cut by a sharp sword, and it was all broken into pieces.

The most important thing is that before they entered the yard, they had already seen blood spots splattered everywhere on the snow.

The blood must have been extremely hot when it splashed out, to have burned deep pits on the pure white surface.

Seeing this scene at the entrance, everyone's eyes froze, as if they had already seen in advance the envoys in the courtyard being killed in the house, killed when trying to rush out of the door, killed in their terrified sleep, and then piled up together with blood flowing like a river.

That’s right, this is the habit of that bloodthirsty demon general.

He was extremely cruel and terrifying. Every time he killed someone, he would pile them up together and admire them for a long time.

Feng Yang was the last one to come in. He also saw the mess at the entrance. The delicate hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but tremble slightly, and there seemed to be a raging snow and wind in his eyes.

Only the Scale Clan and Tooth Clan leaders' gazes changed from previous calm to extremely hot, as if they wanted to see through the entire courtyard at a glance to see if all of them were dead.

Yan Chuan was furious: "You...why did you let Ji You stay here alone? He is just a Tongxuan!"

Gongshu Chou frowned when he heard this: "He arranged it himself."

"Why is that?"

"He said that he had arranged for several elders to guard the central courtyard, the east courtyard, the flower building, and the outer perimeter of the bamboo forest, so that no one could break in. His arm hasn't recovered yet, so he won't use it if he can. Therefore, it's safest to stay in the west courtyard."

Huo Hong covered his wound and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that I hurt myself."

The chiefs of the Scale Clan and the Tooth Clan looked at each other at this time and realized that no one went to the banquet tonight. Instead, they stayed in the Jade Garden. It turned out that it was arranged by the human in the Tongxuan realm.

This kind of person who can see the overall situation can't help but make them feel a chill.

But that’s it, that’s all.

At this moment, a slight noise suddenly came from the yard. Everyone was instantly attracted back to their senses. They immediately walked through the bamboo forest in front of the west courtyard gate and walked to the deepest part of the yard, but they couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The mess in the yard was even worse than in front of the gate, with broken pieces everywhere.

And just as they expected, there was indeed a dead body in the west courtyard.

But the difference is that there is only one corpse, and it is not a human, but a thin demon.

At this moment, he was lying with his head facing up in a snow pit, or rather, in a blood pit.

Because the snow around his body had already been stained with blood.

There were seven extremely terrifying sword scars on his back, deep into the bones. The cut flesh had long been frozen by the extremely cold temperature of the snowy area, and the blood that stained the snow was from these sword wounds.

There were two long and narrow pits where his hands should be.

It looked like this should be the mark left by the weapon in his hand on the snow when he fell, but now only the mark was left, and the weapon was gone.

At this time, Ji You was sitting on the left side of the corpse, or on the stone steps of the east wing of the west courtyard, with a bloodstain on his face, slanting from his chin to his cheek.

This was the knife that Shuhe had stabbed at his throat earlier, which he dodged, but not completely.

His clothes were also stabbed, and there was a scar between his collarbone and shoulder, from the knife that Shu He had tried to pierce his heart. He dodged it, but not completely.

At this moment, hearing the sound of footsteps of the crowd, Ji You turned around to look.

His sword intent had not yet subsided at this moment. Sitting in front of the door, his eyes were extremely sharp.

However, when his eyes swept across the faces of the geniuses of the Immortal Sect and found that there were no missing people, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Everyone here began to feel dazed. They looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the sword marks all over the yard, and their eyes were fixed on him.

He killed the demon general Shuhe.

During last night's melee, a battle unknown to the public but extremely dangerous just thinking about it had been going on in the West Courtyard, a place that should have been deserted.

Some people thought that the envoys living in the west courtyard were undoubtedly dead, while others thought that the corpses here had piled up into a small mountain.

Then, he killed the demon general Shuhe here.

In fact, the monsters present were not familiar with Ji You. Feng Yang's impression of him was that he was a bit frivolous and did not look as immortal as the humans said.

But he was alone guarding the West Courtyard last night and killed Shuhe, the most difficult and dangerous demon general.

The ones who found it most difficult to accept this result were naturally the two clan leaders of Lin Ya, because in their opinion, among the attacks in Yu Garden tonight, the easiest battle should be the one in the West Courtyard.

But this demon general who always took people's lives was defeated today. He lay in the snow and could not get up again.

At this time, Feng Yang looked at him quietly, lost in thought for a long time, and finally turned his gaze away.

Just at this moment, Ji You's voice suddenly rang out from the dead silent west courtyard.

"This demon is so powerful. I didn't expect that he could beat me with his bare hands and leave me covered with knife wounds..."

“…”

"?"

Ye Han did not follow everyone into the courtyard. Instead, he summoned three heavenly demon generals at the same time and ordered them to lead the demon soldiers to surround the entire west courtyard.

His opinion was the same as before everyone else entered the hospital. When he learned that Ji You was guarding the west courtyard alone, it was as if he had already seen the entire human delegation die tragically in the courtyard.

Because when he heard about Shuhe's reputation for killing people, he had personally experienced the other party's extreme speed.

With that kind of speed talent, combined with his hidden talent, no one can survive.

My father said that if there were really people who died in the human race, then we should do it thoroughly, because although the immortal sects of the human race were not united, they all valued face, and if people really died, it would be difficult to explain it clearly.

As an older brother, Ye Han knows his sister Feng Yang's character.

Even if it was really an order from her father, she would not obey it, so he would have to be the one to massacre the human race in this courtyard.

"In fact, even I don't like to go against Shuhe alone. That guy is too troublesome."

The one standing guard at the main gate was the Heavenly Demon General Asakura, who couldn't help but whisper.

"It's not just you. I heard that although Mu Le is willing to use him, he doesn't want him to get too close because this guy is really dangerous because his realm is not compatible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yang suddenly came out of the courtyard and looked at Chao Cang with burning eyes: "Capture everyone who participated in this incident tonight and send them to the Demon Emperor Palace, including the leaders of the Scale Clan and the Fang Clan!"

Ye Han turned to look at Feng Yang, frowning slightly: "Feng Yang, I know you can't bear it, but you shouldn't act on impulse. Let me take care of the rest."

"Brother, I am fulfilling my father's order."

"?"

"Shuhe is dead, but the human delegation is safe and sound."

Following Feng Yang's order, all the demon soldiers and generals immediately took action and captured all those who had been subdued earlier.

In the chaotic environment, Ye Han walked into the west courtyard with confusion and bewilderment. The first thing he saw was Shu He lying on the ground, and his body was covered with sword wounds.

Shuhe's strongest point is not stealth but speed. Some people can't even touch the corner of his clothes, let alone hit him.

But looking at his body at this moment, you can tell that he was hit hard, and each strike of the sword was extremely even.

The demon prince was silent for a long time, then raised his head and looked to the west.

Ji You had been helped into a wheelchair, his hands hanging weakly, and he was pushed out of the yard facing his gaze, looking sickly like a weak scholar...

At dawn, the sun began to rise slowly from behind the snow-capped peaks. The sky in the east turned white, and even the cold fog was slightly broken by the sunlight.

Yu Garden, which had been noisy all night, suddenly became quiet at this moment, but the broken bricks and tiles everywhere showed the cruelty of yesterday's battle.

The chiefs of the Linya and Fang tribes, as the planners of the whole incident, were put in shackles after coming out of Yuyuan. All the demon generals in their tribe who participated in the attack tonight were escorted by the imperial soldiers and sent to the Demon Emperor's palace.

But the Demon Emperor did not show up to meet them. Instead, it was his chief minister named Shan Dian who appeared and was waiting alone in front of the palace gate.

Seeing Princess Fengyang escorting them back, Shan Dian stepped down from the hall and leaned forward in front of the two of them: "His Majesty is very disappointed with you and does not want to see you..."

After hearing this, the chiefs of the Scaled and Fanged tribes clenched their fists and remained silent.

Shan Dian couldn't help but say: "You are not helping His Majesty to relieve his worries, but forcing His Majesty to make a choice."

Mule sighed after hearing this: "We are...guilty."

"You are naturally guilty, so go to the cold cell to reflect on your sins."

(Finally I got home, I'll catch up on some sleep, and work harder tomorrow, please give me a monthly ticket...or2)
