I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

?

He Yuzhi stood in place, still a bit dazed.

After receiving the message from Chen Mo, she tracked the aura all the way here, initially thinking that the Demon Clan intended to take revenge, but it turned out not to be the case...

The other party seemed to have a deep interest in Chen Mo, even the mysterious Demon Lord didn't hesitate to personally intervene to snatch him!

Then Her Majesty the Consort and the Tianshu Pavilion Daoist Venerable arrived one after another.

One fought fiercely for Chen Mo, while the other directly abducted him...

"What on earth is going on?"

"Would the Empress really show up in person just for the sake of talent?"

"Moreover, Mo'er and the Daoist Venerable have no connection, why are they suddenly linked together?"

He Yuzhi's mind was filled with questions.

Boom——

A deep rumble came from the horizon.

He Yuzhi looked up only to see the crescent moon, riddled with holes and voids, rapidly collapsing inward, then suddenly exploding!

The shattered moon fragments resembled flaming meteors, trailing fire tails and scattering, piercing numerous holes into the night sky.

The entire night sky was like a curtain being torn off, revealing its true appearance... The stars were sparse, the clouds high and light, as if nothing had happened, all the earlier events merely an illusion.

Only then did He Yuzhi realize that the Demon Lord was not transformed into the moon, it was merely her observing eye.

That boundless sky was the true projection of her essence!

"Is this the supreme of the Demon Clan?"

He Yuzhi's spine tingled with cold.

This technique completely surpassed her imagination!

Hoo——

The night wind rose abruptly.

Amidst the fiery sky, a figure in white walked through the air.

A dress of plain color fluttered in the wind, her azure eyes calm like a lake, a shapeless glow floating beside her, a glance was enough to feel the Divine Soul being drawn into it.

"I humbly greet the Empress."

He Yuzhi hurriedly bowed.

"No need for formality."

Yu Youhan tucked the glow into the void and softly asked, "Why have you come?"

He Yuzhi answered truthfully, "I received a message from Mo'er and worried he might be in danger, so I followed along, not expecting things to escalate this much..."

She hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, "Are you alright, Empress?"

There are only a few Ultimate Venerables in all of Jiu Zhou, though she hadn't reached that realm, she had heard... Cultivation has a limit, the higher the realm, the harder to advance even slightly, so no large gap exists between the mighty.

This is also why the Three Saint Sect and the court have been relatively peaceful.

Without transcending, it poses no real threat.

And the Demon Lord, as the only recognized Ultimate of the Demon Clan, is at least in the same realm as the Three Saints, even with the Empress's power, facing her would likely be troublesome.

Yu Youhan shook her head, "It's merely an avatar, easily obliterated, but unfortunately, couldn't lure the real body... By the way, are you alright? Did the residual impact just now harm you?"

"Thanks to the Empress's concern, I am perfectly fine." He Yuzhi replied with reverence.

Previously, the Empress was always cold, but now her attitude was inexplicably closer...

"That's good."

Yu Youhan looked around, "Where is Chen Mo? Why isn't he here?"

He Yuzhi replied truthfully, "When the Empress and the Demon Lord clashed, the Daoist Venerable from Tianshu Pavilion suddenly appeared, said some strange words, and then took Mo'er away..."

"..."

Yu Youhan's brow twitched and she spoke in a low voice, "Are you saying Ji Hongxiu abducted Chen Mo again?!"

"That's right."

He Yuzhi nodded.

Wait a minute...

What do you mean by "again" abducted him?

Yu Youhan's eyes narrowed, a murderous intent brewing beneath.

Since Ji Hongxiu dared to brazenly take him, she must be fully prepared, impossible to find easily.

Additionally, last time she intended to kill Ji Hongxiu but was suddenly bound by a red silk, nearly falling into danger... So, until the principle of this is understood, she cannot act rashly...

"Must I really watch her do as she pleases with Chen Mo?!"

This feeling of restraint made Yu Youhan extremely suffocated, the fury within her heart intensified, inadvertently revealing a hint of pressure.

Beside her, He Yuzhi's face turned pale, her legs somewhat weak.

Noticing her discomfort, Yu Youhan took a deep breath, suppressing the rampant murderous intent in her heart.

"This place isn't safe, let me send you back first."

"Thank you, Empress…"

Yu Youhan placed her hand on He Yuzhi's shoulder, split the void, and the figures vanished.

Throughout, she held not the slightest interest to even glance at others.

…

…

The moonlight was tranquil, all sounds were silent.

The members of Kuixing Sect looked at each other.

What happened tonight was truly beyond their expectations...

As Jue Ning was slain, Xu Man's aged body returned to normal, she regained her senses, looked around, "Where are Qin Yi and the junior sister?"

?!

The others reacted only then.

They saw Qin Yi and Mu Yueyao floating on the surface of the lake, uncertain if alive or dead.

They quickly pulled the two up, dragged them to the shore, and upon discovering their breathing still present, they finally sighed in relief, slowly passing True Yuan into their bodies.

A moment later.

Qin Yi opened his eyes, suddenly flipping over and sitting upright.

However, the intense pain caused his body to hunch, spewing a mouthful of foul blood.

"Senior Brother Qin, your organs are ruptured, the meridians damaged, for now, it's best not to move." Li Hui hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Where's that demon clan member?" Qin Yi's brows furrowed, his voice hoarse.

"It should be already dead..."

Xu Man roughly recounted the earlier events to Qin Yi.
