The Frost Demons didn't show any sign of stopping. They rushed in like madmen, each one throwing themselves forward as if they didn't care about living anymore.
The Island Guard Squad instantly lost all formation. Originally, their strength should've completely crushed these Frost Demons. But something was off.
Every move the Frost Demons made suddenly carried far more power than before. Combined with the surge of frost demonic energy around them, the squad members were actually held down for a moment.
"Damn it!" The Island Guard captain's face twisted with anger. For so many years, the Island Guard Army had always treated low tier demons like this as targets they could hit when they wanted and kill when they wanted.
And now those ants dared to rebel?
Not only that, they even managed to kill one of his own men. That man's death wasn't the real problem. The problem was the humiliation. This would become a stain on the captain's entire career.
"You all deserve to die!" The captain's face turned ferocious. His body swelled and expanded like a rising mountain. Frost Demons that had charged close were instantly sent flying.
"The captain's really angry now!"
All the squad members scattered quickly.
"Get back. Once the captain enters his Giant Demon form, he won't stop until he's killed enough to cool off."
"Heh, ants rebelling? These Frost Demons can all go die."
Yun Jin watched quietly from the shadows.
The Island Guard captain wasn't strong only because he'd reached late stage Tianmo. He belonged to the high tier Giant Demon clan. Once he entered his Giant Demon form, his strength shot up in a terrifying geometric surge. Right now, his power had already reached the early stage of Zhenmo.
The Frost Demons were stronger than before, but they had barely cultivated for any real amount of time. A late stage Tianmo Giant Demon was enough to wipe them out completely.
The Giant Demon lifted his enormous foot and stomped down hard. His towering figure blocked the sky itself. The moment he raised his foot, the pressure crushed the air, forcing fear straight into the heart.
The Frost Demons looked terrified. They charged at him anyway with crazed desperation.
It was useless, no matter how they attacked, not even a shred of skin broke on that massive body.
The giant foot slammed down.
They tried to move, but their bodies wouldn't respond.
Only despair remained in their eyes.
At that instant, a streak of light flashed from the void. It pierced straight through the Giant Demon's skull and shattered his demonic core.
The Giant Demon struggled to turn his head toward the direction of the attack. But he didn't see anything. His consciousness scattered in an instant.
With the crushing pressure gone, the Frost Demons scrambled away from the falling titan just in time.
Boom.
The massive body hit the ground and slowly shrank back to normal size.
The other squad members, who had been joking moments ago, froze. Their smiles stiffened on their faces.
Their first reaction was to turn and flee into the distance.
But a volley of light appeared from nowhere. Their demonic cores shattered instantly. Their bodies dropped one by one.
The ten man Island Guard squad was wiped out in a heartbeat.
The Frost Demons all stared with their mouths wide open. The enemies they'd considered invincible had just… died. Just like that?
"We don't know which Senior acted, but the Frost Demon clan thanks Senior for the life saving grace." An elderly demon trembled as he knelt toward the empty void.
The others dropped to their knees in fear. They couldn't even deal with the Giant Demon clan's leader. A Senior who killed him in one strike was someone far beyond their imagination.
This Senior had indeed killed the Island Guard Squad… but why? What did she want?
There was no way someone in the Polar Night Demon World would save them out of kindness. Everything here followed a rule. Every action had a cause. All they could do was avoid offending her.
The one who acted was Yun Jin. She didn't reveal herself. Her voice drifted faintly from the void.
"If someone comes asking, tell them this. Every cause has its consequence. The darkness of the heavens shall be lit by blood."
Her voice faded slowly.
Yun Jin had already left Frost Island.
The Frost Demons still didn't dare to move. They kept kneeling for a long time before they finally lifted their heads in a daze.
"Every cause has its consequence. The darkness of the heavens shall be lit by blood." The old demon murmured.
"Patriarch, what… what does that mean? Who was that expert?" A young Frost Demon asked timidly.
Confusion flickered in the old demon's eyes. "I don't know either."
Once the confusion passed, fear kicked in for all of them.
"Patriarch, the Island Guard Squad died here. They'll definitely send people to investigate. We… we…"
Their voices were shaking as they spoke.
A moment ago, they'd been blinded by emotion and fought without thinking. If they'd died during the battle, so be it.
But they survived.
Now that the desire to live returned, so did the fear of death.
Looking at the corpses of the Island Guard Squad all around them, terror flooded their hearts. There was no doubt they'd committed a huge crime. If the higher ups pursued the matter, they were doomed.
Their original plan was to run immediately, but even if they fled, how long could they escape? A day or two at most.
But now, something unexpected had happened. A mysterious powerhouse had killed the squad and even left a message, asking them to pass it on.
Should they follow her instructions?
All of them looked at the old demon in the center.
He hesitated briefly, then spoke quickly. "Gather the ten corpses of the Island Guard Squad and arrange them properly."
They obeyed. This was simple enough.
They placed the bodies neatly, even setting some flowers next to them.
The old demon inspected them, then pointed at two corpses. "These two still have traces of Frost Demonic Energy. Destroy them, they can't be left behind."
The others followed his order again.
Once everything looked acceptable, the old demon finally took out a message talisman with trembling hands. He activated it and reported the situation.
Of course, he didn't mention their rebellion. He only said a mysterious powerhouse had killed the entire Island Guard Squad.
The news reached Commander Zou Yang quickly.
At first, Zou Yang only felt puzzled. He didn't think much of it. But as he continued listening, his expression darkened more and more until only sheer horror remained.
"You said the mysterious powerhouse left a message?" Zou Yang grabbed the reporting demon by the collar.
