He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 732 The Demonic Energy in He Yuzhu's Body

Even though He Yuzhu felt helpless at the moment, he had nothing to say. The mysterious Demon King before him was so powerful that it was intimidating. He had no room to resist and could only obediently follow his instructions.

The Devil King reached out and grabbed He Yuzhu's hand. His movements seemed casual, but they seemed to carry some invisible force. Then, his hand just gently smoothed over He Yuzhu's body, and He Yuzhu felt a strange force surging in his body, as if something was about to leave his body uncontrollably.

A ball of inky black, surging demonic energy slowly emerged from He Yuzhu's body. The demonic energy seemed to possess a consciousness of its own, sensing danger and desperately struggling to escape. However, the Devil King would not let it escape so easily. He opened his mouth wide and inhaled fiercely. As if drawn by a powerful suction force, the demonic energy flew straight into his mouth and was instantly swallowed.

After dispelling the demonic energy, the Demon King reached into his bosom and pulled out a smooth, translucent jade pendant. The jade pendant emanated a mysterious luster, and was intricately carved with patterns, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary artifact. He handed the jade pendant to He Yuzhu and said solemnly, "From now on, you are the leader of our Demon Suppression Palace. This is the leader's token; you must keep it safe. Remember, if you encounter any danger in the future, simply drip a drop of your blood on this token, and no matter where I am, I will immediately come to your rescue."

He Yuzhu took the jade pendant, his heart full of confusion and shock. When he was about to ask something about the Demon Suppression Palace, the Demon King suddenly seemed to be unable to stay. For some unknown reason, his figure instantly became blurred, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared.

He Yuzhu came back to his senses, turned to look at Elder Qingyi, and said, "Elder Qingyi, should we set off? After all, Sect Master Qiu's body cannot be left here forever." He Yuzhu knew that the battle that had just taken place here was extremely loud, and the people outside must have known about it.

As expected, shortly after the Demon King of Chaos left, people outside began flocking in that direction. But when they entered the area, they saw only a vast, deep pit. The pit was empty. Aside from Sect Leader Qiu's body, which Elder Qingyi had earlier carried out, everything else had been completely destroyed. Furthermore, the entire ground was stained red with blood, transforming into a bloody mess that exuded a sickening, bloody odor.

At this time, several people in special costumes walked over. One of them looked at the tragic scene in front of him and said in shock: "I didn't expect that the team leader also died here. What do you think we should do about this?"

The other man frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Isn't this a difficult matter? We'll report the situation immediately, and then they'll send someone to cordon this place off and handle it properly."

With that, they began organizing the evacuation. After all, the environment here was far too eerie, filled with an invisible sense of oppression, as if pairs of eyes were peering in the darkness. While the sensation might not be noticeable to mortals, for cultivators, it was like a mountain pressing down on their heads, leaving them breathless. They simply wanted to leave this terrifying place as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Qin Gou was filled with regret and shock. He had never expected that this man, known as the Devil King, could be so formidable. He secretly groaned inwardly. If he had known he was so troublesome, he would never have provoked him. He looked down at the broken God-Locking Chain. This was his prized magic weapon, now reduced to a pile of scrap metal. His heart ached.

Just as he was feeling this regret, Qin Gou suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His heart trembled, and he instantly realized that the trace of demonic energy he had left on that person had been removed. How could this be possible? His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He had carefully left that demonic energy there, like a hidden nail planted in the other person's body, hoping it would come in handy at a critical moment, but now...

Qin Gou recalled the previous scene with a lingering fear. He had finally trapped the Chaos Demon King with the God-Locking Chain, confident of victory. But then, unbeknownst to him, the Chaos Demon King unleashed a terrifying force, struggling violently, ripping the God-Locking Chain apart inch by inch. Qin Gou felt a surge of overwhelming force, nearly sending him flying.

It was his quick reaction, at that critical moment, that he channeled some of his demonic energy to create the illusion of his own death, barely saving his life. At that moment, the Devil King seemed convinced he was dead, and so spared him. Qin Gou felt both relieved and terrified. If it weren't for this move, he would have perished long ago.

However, Qin Gou was unaware that the Demon King of Chaos had long foreseen that he was still alive. He had his own agenda for not destroying him immediately. The laws of nature were now taking on a strange shape. If Qin Gou were to be eliminated hastily, how could the forces behind him easily reveal themselves? The Demon King of Chaos intended to play the long game, using Qin Gou to lure out the person behind him, so he could completely eradicate this hidden power.

Qin Gou, fully aware of the severity of his injuries, found a secluded and secluded spot and eagerly began to cultivate and heal. He was at a critical stage of recovery when, for unknown reasons, he was forcibly summoned, disrupting his recovery plans. Now, he needed to return quickly to a safe place to continue recuperating, otherwise, if his injuries worsened, the consequences would be disastrous.

Meanwhile, within the demon clan's territory, the situation was bleak. Now, only Xiaoli's clan remained intact. All this stemmed from He Yuzhu's revelation. Xiaoli, with her wit, took advantage of the moment when the demon clan's protective shield was still in place and the situation outside had yet to fully develop, and decisively led her clan away.

Xiaoli rushed back to her tribe and told her mother the details of the tragic scene outside. Upon hearing this, her mother's face was filled with sorrow and helplessness. She sighed and said, "Alas, I never expected the demon tribe to suffer such heavy losses this time. Almost all of them have perished. It seems we have no choice but to retreat to the deep mountains. Perhaps only there can we find some peace and escape this catastrophe." Her eyes revealed endless fatigue and sorrow, as if she foresaw the demon tribe's difficult future.
