An indescribable pressure tightened around the throats of all the demons. The young demon in particular collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
While they were filled with fear, they also gloated over the impending doom of the insolent young phoenix and Zhao Wu!
Tearing people apart, devouring flesh, and drinking blood... These deeds were perverse, but they all knew that the most terrifying one was actually Zhao Yue!
Could the one who led the demons to attack the Celestial Realm be just a beautiful and blood - free figure?
It was just that Zhao Yue was extremely calculating and rarely showed her perverse side in public.
Scattered limbs of celestial beings lay beside the stone steps in front of the Heavenly Gate. The originally jade - white floor was soaked in blood.
A young girl in red was kneeling on the floor. Her tattered red dress could not hide the wounds on her body. She stared blankly at the demon in her arms.
The demon generals guarding the gate looked at each other. "What is this person here for?"
"I don't know. She just knelt down on the ground with a thud. It seems she's holding Zhao Wu in her arms."
Everyone knew that Zhao Wu had betrayed the demon race. So when the demon world attacked the Celestial Realm, they didn't inform him but left him alone in the camp.
At this moment, Zhao Wu's eyes were tightly closed. He was unconscious in the red - dressed girl's arms, and his demonic aura was dissipating.
The demon guarding the gate saw that his breath was weak. Yaohua was beautiful, and she looked so still and a bit dull. A lewd thought crossed his mind. He grinned and reached out to touch her body. "Hey, isn't this the beautiful slave girl kept by Zhao Wu?"
Before coming, Yaohua had deliberately created the illusion of their desperate flight. Watching the demon drooling and his hand getting closer, she felt a surge of nausea.
Several patrolling demons also gathered around. Some even impatiently unbuckled their belts.
Suddenly, a faint light turned into a cage, locking Yaohua in. At the same time, the ill - intentioned demons outside the cage were hit by a violent wave of energy. They spat out blood and flew out screaming.
"Is she someone you are worthy of touching?" Zhao Yue said disgustedly, raising her hand. As she clenched her five fingers, the bodies of those demons burst one by one. They vanished into thin air without even a scream.
Then, with one hand behind her back, she asked domineeringly, "Yaohua, you've been infected with the demonic seed, yet you dare to come and provoke me alone. Aren't you looking down on me too much?"
Yaohua raised her head. Her usually stubborn and proud face was streaked with tears. There was a deep cut on her left cheek, almost to the bone.
Zhao Yue was slightly stunned. Before she could react, she saw Yaohua smile bitterly. "If I said I wanted to defect to the demon world, would you still take me in?"
"What are you up to?" Zhao Yue had never seen her look so vulnerable. She couldn't help but look at her a few more times and sneered softly.
Yaohua bit her lip, looking a bit embarrassed and dejected. "No, just pretend I never said that. But Zhao Wu is your younger brother. I beg you, save him."
Zhao Yue paced to the cage and suddenly grabbed her neck. The corner of her lips curled into a charming arc, like a captivating poppy.
Her voice was seductive. "The proud leader of the phoenix clan, why would you suddenly want to surrender to the demons? Don't tell me it's because of my stupid younger brother, Zhao Wu?"
Yaohua seemed to be touched by a sad memory. She closed her eyes, and two lines of clear tears streamed down. "Zhao Wu informed me about the fall of the Celestial Realm. After everyone learned the news, they were furious and attacked him. I was also expelled."
Zhao Yue was suspicious and naturally didn't believe it. "You're the precious disciple of the supreme god. Who would dare to expel you?"
Yaohua's lips trembled. She said nothing, but her tears fell even more fiercely.
Suddenly, she opened her tear - filled eyes and murmured painfully, "Kill me. Please kill me."
Seeing her like this, Zhao Yue's curiosity was completely piqued. She deliberately said coldly, "If you don't tell me, I'll skin Zhao Wu alive in front of you, burn his body and break his bones, and let him die in the most painful way in the world!"
Yaohua trembled all over. Suddenly, she roared at her, "It's all because of this demonic seed! If it weren't for it, how would I have confessed my feelings to my master and completely disgusted him?
"He doesn't like me, but I'm crazy about him. But he'll never look at me again. He's even colder to me than before and slapped me in public!"
The demons pricked up their ears. They were stunned and silently gave Zhao Yue a thumbs - up.
Sure enough, she was worthy of being the leader.
Without a sound, she had turned the master and disciple against each other and ruined the most powerful fighter of the phoenix clan.
Zhao Yue just snorted lightly. She suddenly let go of her hand, and Yaohua fell heavily to the ground. "Just because of a man, you've been reduced to such a sorry state. It's really a waste of your good looks."
The flesh - eating demon said excitedly, "We've never eaten roasted phoenix meat. Since ancient times, the meat of those who fall into the demonic path because of love is the most mysterious. Since this girl came to us on her own, how about..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a cold light flash in Zhao Yue's eyes and quickly shut up.
Zhao Yue clapped her hands and said contentedly, "Take Miss Yaohua back and put chains on her. From today on, she'll be my pet."
At the same time, in the Jiangnan Mansion.
The God of Culture crawled out of the ruins in a sorry state. He said fearfully, "I just wanted to take a nap in the statue, but I was trapped by the demonic aura. Thanks to Brother Chongming's timely arrival, otherwise I might have died in the demonic illusion!"
He turned to look at Chongming and found something was wrong.
The usually cold and steady Supreme God Chongming actually looked dejected. This was extremely rare!
He couldn't help but shout, "Brother Chongming, what's wrong with you? Let's go and attack the Celestial Realm quickly!"
"There's no need for the time being." Chongming tightened his grip on the jade token in his hand and said hoarsely, "Yaohua has sneaked into the demon clan. We just need to cooperate with her from the inside and the outside."
"Sure enough, a great teacher produces outstanding disciples. Your disciple is so brave and resourceful!" The God of Culture couldn't help but exclaim.
But Chongming wasn't happy at all. He felt as if his heart was being roasted by fire. His chest was tight and painful. Anger and worry coursed through his body, piercing his heart with a thousand holes.
In the Celestial Realm, the demons held a feast for three days and three nights.
The once - holy Celestial Realm was still littered with severed limbs and corpses. Only within a hundred - mile radius near the Divine Lord's Hall was it cleaned up.
However, the floor was still deeply stained with blood.
Yaohua sat expressionlessly in front of the dressing table, stroking her face that had returned to normal.
After Zhao Yue named her the favored phoenix, she had been given the best medicine. Today, she was going to be taken out to meet the demons.
Several maids quietly walked over, knocked her out with a club, and stuffed her into a sack.
After leaving the palace, one of them whispered, "The leader dotes on this favored phoenix very much. If she knows what we've done, will she kill us?"
Another sighed. "If we don't capture her, Lord Flesh - eating Demon will eat us now!"
"Don't worry. Lord Flesh - eating Demon has made full preparations. Outsiders will only say that she's a spy who stole the defense map!"
