I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Mu Yueyao looked at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Previously, she sensed a hint of danger from Chen Mo, and she was somewhat wary. She had spoken to test him, not really expecting that mere words could achieve her goal.

"Ha, you're stubbornly impervious."

"Do you think I'm the same kind as those other demons before?"

Mu Yueyao's eyes glowed with icy blue brilliance. At this moment, her aura was no longer concealed, and the surging demon energy shot straight to the sky, even dyeing the bright moonlight with a faint blood hue!

Grandmaster Realm!

Ling Ningzhi's expression was solemn.

Only demons in the Grandmaster Realm could possess such power!

"This place is a thousand miles from Tiandu City; no one can come to save you."

"If it weren't for the Master asking to spare your life, just for what you did to Lady You would warrant tearing you into pieces!"

Mu Yueyao slowly walked through the air towards Chen Mo, "I'll give you one last chance, release Lady You, and obediently return with me to the Desolate Domain. I guarantee that everyone here will survive."

"Otherwise..."

"They will all perish with you!"

Swoosh—

The night wind rose.

Mu Yueyao's clothes fluttered, and behind her, shadows spread, darkness denser than the night unfolded, nearly covering the entire sky!

"Damn it!"

"You cursed demon, give me back my younger sister!"

Xu Man's voice was filled with fury as she drew her sword and leaped towards Mu Yueyao.

Just two steps forward, her posture abruptly froze in mid-air.

A shadow attached itself to her body, causing it to rapidly decay. Her flesh shriveled, transforming from a young woman into an old crone with wrinkled skin in an instant!

As Xu Man's vitality waned and she seemed on the brink of death, a ray of emerald light shot out and entered her body, dispersing the shadow, halting her aging, and stabilizing her aura.

Mu Yueyao's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Clearly just a Martial Artist, but with such skills, the vitality within her seems endless."

"If I took you back to heal my Demon Clan, they could all become Undying Bodies! Even without Dragon Qi, this trip would be worthwhile!"

"Taixu Xuanhuang, Yin-Yang Catalysis—"

Ling Ningzhi did not sit idly waiting for death, violet electricity scattered at the corners of her eyes as she murmured incantations.

But as clouds began to form on the horizon, they were immediately dispersed by the demon energy!

The entire lake was shrouded in thick demon energy, Primordial Qi vanished, close to a vacuum, rendering Daoist Skills completely ineffective!

"Mr. Chen, what to do?" Ling Ningzhi whispered.

Several Kuixing Sect disciples' faces were pale as paper.

If they faced those snake demons, they might still fight, but against such a powerful demon creature, their struggle was in vain...

Mu Yueyao looked at Chen Mo, asking with a smile: "Well, have you decided? Their lives are all now in your hands."

Chen Mo maintained a calm demeanor throughout, seeming to have anticipated such a situation, and said coolly: "Do you think I'm stupid? Knowing this is a trap, would I still jump into it blindly?"

"Hmm?"

Mu Yueyao's brow furrowed, indeed, everything had been too smooth.

This guy didn't seem like a mindless brute, yet he willingly fell into the trap...

"No need for false bravado. In Human Realm terms, I'm a Grandmaster in the Third-Level of Celestial Human Realm. No matter your skills, you can't stir up waves!"

"Just a Grandmaster? Who doesn't have one!"

Chen Mo took a deep breath, his loud voice echoing in the night sky:

"Mother!!"

"..."

The air went silent.

Mu Yueyao froze for a moment, then chuckled: "Mr. Chen is no child anymore, facing danger and still calling for his mother? Do you think your mother could save you if she came..."

Before she finished speaking, a deep female voice suddenly sounded in her ear: "You dare touch my son?"

?!

Mu Yueyao was shocked; she spun around to see a graceful mature woman standing behind her, unnoticed!

The two were merely a few inches apart, a pair of black eyes quietly gazed upon her!

Mu Yueyao felt her scalp tingle, a chill ran up her spine; to silently approach her meant the woman was at least a Grandmaster Realm strong!

Danger!

She attempted to retreat, but suddenly, a fierce wind tore overhead!

A True Essence Giant Palm descended violently upon her, leaving no escape!

Boom!

Below, the lake surface sank like woven cloth before exploding!

Water surged skyward, stirring hundred-zhang waves, snake demon corpses shattered, blood and minced flesh mixed with lake water splattered everywhere!

Instantly, it felt like a torrential downpour!

The lake's water level dropped sharply, almost exposing the lakebed sediment!

Mu Yueyao's eyes shone brightly, transforming into a blue barrier to withstand the crushing of the giant palm.

Boom!

Boom!

The giant palm continued to crash down, cracking and sinking the ground, deeply embedding her into the earth!

...

...

"Aunt?"

Ling Ningzhi gazed at the scene, her eyes somewhat lost.

Always, in front of her, He Yuzhi had been unpretentious, their relationship was as close as best friends.

She almost forgot, this was a true Martial Arts Grandmaster!

Ling Ningzhi's throat moved, she asked: "Mr. Chen, why did Aunt come?"

Chen Mo replied: "In Linglan County I sensed something amiss, the demons plotting this were no small potatoes, so I used the Communication Jade to send a message home in advance..."

He Yuzhi held a sensitive status, being both the wife of the Third-Level High Official of the current dynasty and the direct descendant of a Jianghu sect.

Interfering in imperial affairs was a taboo, likely giving political opponents leverage.

Therefore, regarding Sky Scale Guard matters, Chen Mo never sought mother's help.
