"Why?!
Why is it us again?!
Why do we always have to go through all this?! "
The lady boss was on the verge of breaking down. She suppressed her trembling voice and let out a scream that many terrified citizens were screaming in their hearts.
The shopkeeper hugged her tightly and covered her mouth with his hand. "Shh, shh!"
The proprietress sobbed bitterly and screamed, "Why?
Why is this happening?! "
Although the shopkeeper was a man, he was also on the verge of breaking down in the face of repeated disasters. He and his wife hugged each other and cried.
Tears welled up in Xiao Zhu's eyes when she saw her parents crying. She grabbed Yuehan's sleeve and looked at her. She whispered, "Sister Yuehan, why do these demons keep coming for us?"
Yuehan felt terrible. She wiped Little Zhu's tears and whispered, "It's because they keep killing innocent people, that's why … they're the real demons!"
Little Zhu gritted her teeth and said, "One day, I want to become an amazing cultivator like Brother Chengfeng. I want to slay demons and protect my parents!"
Yuehan's heart skipped a beat. She hugged Little Zhu tightly and did not speak. It was as if she could not bear to see the last person she could rely on leave her.
The screams outside gradually subsided, and the thick fog gradually condensed into the clear appearance of a woman. Her entire body was covered in fine and dense scales. Although her face was covered in terrifyingly hard scales, and there were deep scars on both sides of her cheeks, from her facial features, one could still see that she was a beautiful woman.
However, this woman's eyebrows were like burning flames and her eyes were red and black. Her gaze was so sharp that it seemed like it could cut through anything and her eyes were so angry that it seemed like it could burn everything!
This person was Zhou Ling, the new Demon King chosen by the Hades King after Yuehan's betrayal.
Under the Hades King's coercion, Zhou Ling was forced to give up on seeking revenge against Shanxue and Li Chengfeng. Instead, she turned her attention to Yuehan.
Yuehan was the previous Demon King. If she wanted to hide, even the Hades King would not be able to find her.
However, in the battle at Taiyang, she had to use her demon powers to save Li Chengfeng. She did not expect that in such a short period of time, her whereabouts would be exposed.
This was because the new generation of Daemon Kings were especially sensitive to exposed Daemon Powers and could sense their presence.
That was why he had followed them all the way here.
But as Yuehan's demonic powers quickly disappeared, Zhou Ling knew that Yuehan had appeared here, but she wasn't sure if she was still here.
Based on her judgment, Yuehan should have already left. She wasn't a fool, there was no reason for her to stay here.
After Zhou Ling had stirred up a wave of bloodlust and fear, she stopped and grabbed a man who was trying to escape. She dragged him in front of her and glared at him with her red and black eyes, her voice hoarse and menacing, "Tell me where Su Yuehan is!"
How would the man know who Yuehan was? He trembled in fear and lost control of his bowels, crying, "I don't know, I don't know!
Spare me, spare me! "
Zhou Ling laughed coldly as she released a thick mist that sucked him dry. She then tossed him aside and grabbed a couple who had just escaped from the house, "Where is Su Yuehan?!" Zhou Ling's eyes widened as she looked at Zhou Ling.
The couple cried in fear and begged for mercy. Zhou Ling sucked them dry again in anger. When she grabbed the third man, he had witnessed Zhou Ling's crazy slaughter and was scared out of his wits. Before Zhou Ling could question him, he cried, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!
I'll tell you, can you let me go?! "
Zhou Ling grinned maliciously as she moved closer. She did not speak, just moved closer and glared at him with her red and black eyes, glinting with a demonic light.
The man broke down in fear. He pointed in a direction and screamed, "There, over there!
I've seen her!
Let me go, let me go! "
Zhou Ling's body flashed and turned into a cloud of black mist, wrapping the man in it and bringing him to the place he pointed. She then materialized again and picked up the man like a chicken. She asked sternly, "Where?!"
The man hesitated for a moment and Zhou Ling immediately understood. She roared in anger, "How dare you trick me!!"
The man burst into tears. "Spare my life!
Spare me, Great King!
Spare me, Immortal! "
He knew that she was a demon, but how could he dare to reveal her true identity?
As long as he could live, it didn't matter if he called her a Great King or an Immortal.
Of course, he didn't know where Yuehan was, or who she was, but … in order to survive, he casually pointed, and somehow, he actually pointed to the vicinity of Yuehan's hiding place.
Zhou Ling clenched her fist and crushed the man's head like a watermelon. She threw her head back and let out an angry roar.
In an instant, Taiyang City's roar was like thunder, reverberating in the sky above the city.
Most of the people were terrified and lost. They screamed and ran in all directions, desperately trying to escape from this place.
Zhou Ling was suddenly faced with a difficult choice. Should she cleanse the entire city or allow more people to escape?
If one of them knew Yuehan's whereabouts, and they escaped, then all her efforts would be in vain.
At that moment, Zhou Ling suddenly felt her body grow heavy. The ground beneath her feet suddenly split open and a ball of flame spewed out. The flame condensed into a ball and formed a blood-red vertical pupil.
Then, a low voice sounded from the eye, "Idiot!"
Zhou Ling immediately knelt on one knee, "Your subordinate is stupid, please forgive me, King of Hell!"
The King of Hell asked, "Why don't you cleanse the city?"
Zhou Ling's body trembled, her eyes filled with fear and reluctance.
She could kill unscrupulously, she could extort confessions without mercy, but … she really couldn't be like Shanxue, who mercilessly slaughtered the citizens of an entire city. That was because she had experienced the Tong 'an Massacre when she was still alive. That was the most painful memory in the depths of her soul, something she could never forget.
She hated it all, that was why she was willing to sell her soul to the King of Hell.
But now, was she going to become the person she hated the most?
The King of Hell sensed Zhou Ling's hesitation and laughed cruelly. The ball of flame immediately rushed into Zhou Ling's body. In that instant, Zhou Ling could not move. Her eyes turned pitch black, there was no longer any anger, sympathy, hesitation or hatred in them.
There was only boundless darkness and boundless indifference!
Zhou Ling's body floated in mid-air. When she spoke, her voice was not her own but the King of Hell's deep, thunderous voice.
She said, "Yuehan!
If you don't want everyone here to die with you, then show yourself!! "
At that moment, the entire city was shocked, most of them were at a loss!
Only the shopkeeper and the lady boss looked at Yuehan in horror, they … had already guessed what was going on. Little Zhu grabbed Yuehan's hand nervously and whispered, "Sister Yuehan, hurry and hide. Don't make a sound, the demon is here for you!"
The shopkeeper and the lady boss recalled Yuehan's strange actions from before, and their eyes were filled with fear and panic. However, the two of them were beside Yuehan, and their daughter was in the enemy's hands, so they naturally did not dare to act rashly. However, their trembling bodies and subconscious body language had already exposed their true intentions.
