The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 441: You Want to Control Me to Kill People? No Way

The night of chaos in the capital finally passed. As the bustling streets continued their usual routine, with the various livelihoods of the people across the capital intersecting, everyone's gossip was surprisingly consistent. They were all discussing the incident of the Duke Ji's mansion being vandalized by criminals the previous day. While there were various versions, the central theme, given the low number of casualties inside and outside the mansion, was speculation: a robbery or perhaps a case of vendetta. Curious people, or those who had been hiding at home all night, rushed to the mansion. Aside from a few damaged buildings on the periphery, the rest of the mansion was intact, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

The dignitaries in the various high-ranking officials' residences, like the common people, were gossiping about two matters: one concerning the previous night's events at Duke Ji's residence, and the other concerning the Imperial Palace. An earthquake had struck again the previous night, at the site of a sinkhole in the ruins of one of the Imperial Palace's abandoned palaces. There were various versions of the story: some said a black dragon had escaped to the human world, some that a demon had descended, and still others that it wasn't an earthquake at all, but rather a legendary deity who had struck the sinkhole with a sword, causing the earthquake.

These legends are just legends. As for the truth behind them, only those who have witnessed it can tell it clearly.

For example, the little emperor sitting on the golden palace was someone he saw with his own eyes.

But at this time, he was discussing the rebel attack on the city with the ministers in the imperial study.

That Lord Shen was so arrogant. The rebel armies led by the two brothers were raised like wolves and tigers by these two old bastards. They burned, killed, and looted all over the country. Their methods of leading the troops were as despicable and cruel as they were themselves, and they put the people who were already in dire straits into hell.

The young emperor felt both anxious and angry when he thought about how they were not only harming the people but also recruiting soldiers en masse to expand their power. Furthermore, the news coming from the borders in recent days showed that although the war was gradually easing, the situation among the forces on the borders had become more complex, like a calm lake with a constant turmoil beneath it.

Eunuch Guo watched his master from the side, his brow furrowed and his mood unstable due to the troubles of state affairs. He quickly ordered someone to bring another cup of tea and comforted the little emperor with a few more words.

The young emperor took the teacup and took two sips of tea before speaking to Eunuch Guo, "By the way, I heard there was quite a commotion last night in that sealed-off tiankeng. What exactly happened there? Did anyone see it with their own eyes? This matter must not be spread outside your court. The country is in turmoil right now, and if someone with ulterior motives makes a big deal about it, it would be detrimental to my reputation."

When Eunuch Guo heard the little emperor say this, his face turned unhappy.

When the little emperor saw him like this, he asked what was wrong.

Eunuch Guo had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter can no longer be concealed. After the court was over, everyone was talking about this matter. If the officials had been asked to refrain from spreading rumors earlier, it might have been concealed. But now that the officials have been gone for most of the day, I'm afraid it has already spread."

The young emperor had not expected this to happen. He thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, let's withdraw the imperial guards from there."

Eunuch Guo didn't understand.

The little emperor said, "It's just a strange phenomenon in the sky. It's not as terrible as people say. I thought about it and realized that it's because I attach too much importance to that place and have too many imperial guards guarding it. Rather than causing panic among the people, it's better to just ignore that place."

When Eunuch Guo heard this, he felt that it made some sense, so he obeyed the little emperor's order and turned around to go out and pass on the message.

Eunuch Guo turned around, a look of worry on his face. It seemed the little emperor's temperament was changing more and more from day to night. He knew he had gone to look for him yesterday with great fanfare, and had finally found him at the tiankeng. But the little emperor had completely forgotten everything that had happened the previous night. And the noise from the tiankeng was real; it shook the entire palace three times.

After the little emperor gave the orders, he felt weak all over and drowsy, so he went back to the bedroom in the back and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Another person who did not wake up in broad daylight was Chu Yanqiu from Duke Ji's Mansion. Although Shen Wen did not take his life when he tried to assassinate him last night, the aftermath of the sudden explosion severely damaged his physical body.

This is the end of the affairs of this world.

There is another thing happening in that dark fairyland.

The sudden shaking of the tiankeng was caused by Yuchi Lian's powerful move to rescue his real body.

No one expected that Yuchi Lian had a sword from her master in her hand, named the Broken Falcon Sword. The Broken Falcon Sword only swung out once yesterday, and the tiankeng barrier that was as empty as the universe was split open by this sword, leaving a way out. The real body trapped in the tiankeng escaped immediately.

After gaining her true form, Yuchi Lian's strength increased instantly, and she had the strength to fight the demon that trapped her in the tiankeng. She was very courageous and did not escape to the fairy mountain to recuperate and then come back to fight back. She was too eager to fight and thought that she would be invincible with her master's Broken Falcon Sword, so she turned around and came back vowing to kill the demon.

That's why she and Na Nong were trapped in the enchanted space where the demon was.

In the dim world without the bright sunshine of day, there was also Chu Yanqiu who was brought in. He had been tortured by the demon like a stray dog, lying weakly on the ground. The dead branches, fallen leaves, fallen cherry blossoms and flying petals on the ground were blown by a gust of cold wind, which swept up the flying petals and leaves, making the already defeated Chu Yanqiu even more miserable.

Not far from him, in the air, the god-like immortal ancestor worshipped by the entire Ji family was hanging in the air with the Broken Falcon Sword in his hand, as if he was about to split the sky and cut the earth. However, he was controlled by an invisible strange force, unable to move as if time and space were frozen.

At this time, dark clouds like a canopy passed by the sky, completely covering the scenes in darkness. Not long after, the dark clouds dispersed, and the injured and gasping Chu Yanqiu slowly opened his eyes. He saw three figures standing in front of him.

The woman standing in the middle was two steps forward compared to the man and woman behind her. When she saw Chu Yanqiu's defeat, her eyes were filled with shock for a moment.

At this moment, the woman behind her laughed triumphantly. She looked at the man on the ground, her eyes filled with hatred as she thought of his treacherous deeds. A soft vine materialized in her hand and, wielding it like a whip, she lashed him repeatedly. This vine was incredibly special. Each strike was like lightning striking stone, with sparks blazing. By the second lash, blood gushed from Chu Yanqiu's mouth, its rich, vibrant color instantly revealing internal injuries. But this whipping was more than just two or three lashes. The lightning-fast lashing left him like a piece of dead flesh rotting on the ground, tossing and turning, a terrifying sight.

After whipping Chu Yanqiu a dozen times, Fairy Shiya said to the woman behind her, "Good girl, see? Are you happy to see this unfaithful man in this state?"

Shen Wen looked at Chu Yanqiu lying on the ground. Chu Yanqiu was also awake at this time. The two of them looked at each other. The grief in one's eyes became more and more intense, and the sadness in the other's eyes became more and more heavy.

Behind her, the Stone Cliff Fairy transformed a dead branch into a sword. She handed the sword to Shen Wen and said, "Good boy, I will never break my promise to you. Kill him quickly with one strike. Once you kill him, the shame and betrayal you have suffered will be wiped out."

Shen Wen looked at the sword flashing with cold light, her face expressionless. She slowly stretched out her hand and took the sword in her hand.

Seeing Shen Wen's hesitation, the excitement in her eyes gradually turned to anxiety. She urged, "Kill him now! Have you forgotten that this beast doesn't even consider you human? Your repeated cycles of life and death are all due to him. Not only that, he personally sent you to someone else's bed. I told you long ago that there are no loyal men in this world. They are all heartless and heartless."

Fairy Shiya repeatedly urged Shen Wen to kill him, but Shen Wen remained motionless.

The Fairy Shiya behind him became more and more irritable, and was furious with Shen Wen for not fighting back.

"Time is running out. Are you going to waste this opportunity I gave you? If you kill him with one sword, then those people outside won't have to die in vain at the hands of their ancestors and grandchildren."

Shi Ya was so angry that he wanted to slap Shen Wen, the useless piece of wood, to death with one palm.

And Yuchi Lian, who was in the air behind them, was gradually breaking the spell. When she returned to normal, she would slash down with the Broken Falcon Sword in her hand, and the people on the ground would definitely be affected and even injured.

Chu Yanqiu faced the sword-wielding Shen Wen, his eyes filled with despair. He even had a tinge of anticipation, hoping his beloved would plunge the sword into his chest. He also looked up at the immortal ancestor, frozen in time in the sky, his eyes filled with worry for Shen Wen. She was the only woman he loved, and he truly didn't know what to do to prevent her from getting hurt.

Time passed little by little.

Fairy Shiya's compassion did not move Shen Wen. The man next to Fairy Shiya finally took action. He first mocked Fairy Shiya, saying, "It looks like you've lost. Since you can't do it, it's my turn."

After he finished speaking, he raised a finger and slowly pointed at Shen Wen...

Unexpectedly, just as he raised his hand into the air, the wooden Shen Wen suddenly raised his sword and chopped at his fingers.

Blood splattered as the gleaming sword cut a gash in his arm.

"you?"

The man in black looked shocked, and he looked at the injured part of his arm in surprise.

It's hard to believe! Shen Wen has been controlled by his evil spirit. Even though he knows that her will is different from that of ordinary people, and perhaps the false family affection of Shiya Fairy cannot control her, Shen Wen really has hatred in her heart. The deeper her hatred, the heavier her inner demon becomes. She is a ruthless person who hates evil and is ruthless. Facing an enemy like Chu Yanqiu, she should kill him with a knife. Isn't that the normal ending?

How is this going?

Shen Wen pointed the sword in her hand at the man and said, "Want to control me to kill people? No way!"

The man looked unwilling. He said, "I can't believe you can endure such humiliation. I really don't know if you have a normal heart. Do you love that man on the ground so much?"

Shen Wen said, "You are the same. I didn't expect you to be so tolerant. The woman behind you, who is wearing the skin of a high-ranking righteous person, does things in private that are much more amazing and interesting than you. You can't do that."
