Chapter 225 - There Were So Many People, and I Didn't Even Get to Snatch a Few!

It's over! It's over…!

The plan has failed!

Now, even wanting to escape from Yongye Juncheng is a vain hope!

In a certain dark corner of Yongye Juncheng, two people were huddled together, hiding in a narrow, dark cave.

Right now, the entirety of Yongye Juncheng was in the process of cleaning up everyone from their Western Domain's Qianmo hundred clans!

Even some of the sleeper agents who had been lurking in the city for a long time had all lost contact one by one.

Compared to risking it and trying to find a way to escape the city right now, it was better to take the opportunity to hide first and let the others attract attention.

Waiting for a few months until the matter gradually calmed down before trying to find a way to escape was the best strategy.

This was the plan of the two people hiding in this cave.

At this moment, a great formation covering the entire Yongye Juncheng had already been raised. No magical treasure that could traverse or teleport could pass through the barrier to escape.

Furthermore, the various Demon God Generals of the Demon Realm, along with a host of shadow guard attendants and city guards, were searching back and forth in the city. Wanting to escape was, one might say, a fantasy.

The two silently retracted their auras, held their breath, and focused their minds, listening to the sounds of constant movement passing by outside, not daring to make the slightest sound.

At this time, the void above the cave distorted, and a shadow guard attendant stepped out from the void, his feet stopping right in front of the cave.

The two inside the cave desperately covered their mouths, nervously staring at the pair of feet outside the cave, continuously praying in their hearts that he wouldn't look down and discover their cave.

It's unknown if their prayers were answered, but that shadow guard attendant glanced around, and after not discovering anyone, he once again drilled back into the void and disappeared.

After confirming the shadow guard attendant had left, the two inside the cave finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

The Demon Realm's shadow guard attendants came and went without a trace, and their cultivation and strength were not low either.

Putting aside whether the two of them could even defeat this shadow guard attendant, even if they joined forces to kill him, the commotion would inevitably attract others.

Not being discovered was the best outcome.

Just as the two confirmed they were safe, one of them suddenly felt a small bug bite his neck. The pain made him subconsciously reach up and swat the small bug on his neck dead.

The other person was instantly startled.

He looked at him with an expression that said 'you're crazy'.

Only then did that man realize something was wrong and hurriedly stared nervously outside the cave.

Although the sound was not loud, it was indeed a sound. If it was heard by someone, they would be dead for sure!

Fortunately, after a good while, no one appeared outside the cave, and the two breathed another sigh of relief.

However, before they had time to feel relieved, the other person looked at the man who had just been bitten by the small bug, his face full of terror, and he was so scared he quickly covered his own mouth!

"Y-You… your face…!"

"Wh-What's wrong… with it…?"

The man turned his head in confusion, but the sound he made had become extremely strange.

Looking closely, he discovered that his hands and face, and even his entire body, were melting and dripping away bit by bit…!

"Aargh… sa-save mmmph…"

The man reached out his hand towards the other in terror, but his palm melted and fell off in mid-air. This horrifying appearance scared the other man so much that he didn't dare to get close at all!

He also had no idea why his companion had suddenly melted and died…!

Soon, under the other man's gaze, that man completely melted into a puddle of turbid, viscous liquid…

A large swarm of insects, coming from who knows where, swarmed in and devoured that puddle of liquid…!

"Bu-Bugs…!"

The man, seeing these insects, seemed to have thought of something, and his nerves became even more terrified.

When he came to his senses, he then discovered that at some unknown time, his back and the inside of his clothes had also already been filled with all sorts of crawling and flying insects!

And he hadn't noticed it at all!

He recognized these insects; they were all extremely potent and terrifying venomous insects of the Demon Realm!

The man didn't dare to move another inch.

If he were bitten just once, he would surely die!

The terrifying sight of his companion's tragic death just now was still vivid in his mind.

However, as he didn't dare to move rashly, these insects became even more brazen, crawling all over his body and burrowing into every opening on him…

By the time he wanted to forcefully escape, he then discovered that his body had, without him realizing, become unable to move…

A large number of insects swarmed into his body from his mouth…

"Ah, aarrgh…!"

The man, with tears streaming from his eyes, was submerged by the tide of insects, his face full of despair…

In a moment, not even his bones were left!

After eating him clean, the tide of insects all crawled out of the cave, climbing up the walls and through the cracks to the eaves of the roof.

Gu Ying sat on the edge of the eaves, swinging her fair little legs. A vicious look appeared on her small, insect-covered face, and from within her dress, a steady stream of various venomous insects moved in and out.

Throughout the entirety of Yongye Juncheng, even in the tiniest cracks in the stones, her insects were everywhere…

"To dare to make a move on my most beloved Madam, Gu Ying will not let you go!"

……

At the city gate of Yongye Juncheng, a portion of those with higher cultivation and decent escape methods had luckily evaded wave after wave of pursuit and had fled all the way to the vicinity of the city gate.

Seeing the city gate close at hand, the group's faces showed joy, and they sped up, charging straight for the gate.

After observing, they had discovered that only this city gate had no sign of any guards or shadow guard attendants.

This was perhaps their only chance to escape!

As the group gradually flew closer to the city gate, they then saw from afar a beautiful figure standing alone at the gate.

The group focused their eyes and discovered that the woman had a long saber slung across her back, her expression indifferent, her eyes ice-cold.

It was conspicuously the Fourth-ranked Demon God of the Demon Realm, You Lian!

You Lian coldly watched the group speeding towards her, one hand on the hilt, the other on the scabbard.

With a light push of the scabbard, a long, slender, and elegant saber, its entire body patterned and shining silver, was unsheathed.

As the blade was unsheathed, a sharp saber qi emanated from the blade with a might that was visible to the naked eye!

Just a light swing of the blade, and the void was torn open like a thin sheet of paper!

"Zhanjue."

You Lian softly called the saber's name, held the long saber horizontally before her, and poured her demonic spiritual energy and saber qi into the blade.

The body of the long saber, which was already nearly one zhang* long to begin with, gradually extended…

[N: 1 zhang = 3.2 meters]

In no time, a long saber over four zhang long lay horizontally before You Lian!

The group speeding towards her saw this, their expressions showing great shock, and they hurriedly turned to flee back into the city!

Watching the group that was trying to flee again, You Lian gripped her hilt, her eyes hardened, and in an instant, a magnificent and long, crescent-shaped cold light cut across the void!

The light of the blade illuminated the night sky. The curtain of night was sliced open horizontally like a sheet of paper, creating a long void rift that stretched for a full hundred li!

[N: 1 li = 0.5 Km]

All those who were fleeing were completely swallowed by the cold light!

"Sigh~ What a pity. It would have been better to let me refine their skulls for my collection…"

Yan Lili said with a look of regret, juggling several brand-new skulls as she walked to You Lian’s side.

That blade light from You Lian had cut them down so completely that not even ash was left.

You Lian glanced at Yan Lili and silently sheathed her saber.

Yan Lili pouted her lips with dissatisfaction, a look of grievance and regret on her face, and said to herself:

"The little bugs in the city should all be cleaned up by now."

"There were so many people, and I didn't even get to snatch a few!"

"I saw a few of the Heavenly Realm bugs proactively run over to the Execution Palace."

"You can go take a look."

"Perhaps they're still alive."

After leaving these words calmly, You Lian turned and left, her long saber slung across her back.

Yan Lili looked up towards the Execution Palace, hesitated for a moment, then decided to forget it…

That place was not suitable for a cute, beautiful girl like her to step into…

The people inside were simply perverts!

Especially that Tian Xing…!
