"Who...?"
"Who dares trespass into the Thousand Demons Evil Hall?!"
"Where are the guards?!"
The assembled members of the Thousand Demons Clan were startled, their gazes all converging on the blood-red figure striding through the hall doors.
Under their collective stare, Darkspawn Xue Ye appeared before them with his hands clasped behind his back, his demeanor utterly composed.
Upon recognizing him, the group's expressions shifted from shock to terror. Cold sweat beaded on their brows, and their hearts leaped into their throats.
The Eleventh Seat Demon God, Darkspawn Xue Ye!
*Had he... overheard everything?!*
Xue Ye smiled, and his first words sent the assembled crowd into a cold sweat.
"It's quite lively with the Thousand Demons Clan gathered here~"
"I wonder what you're discussing. Mind if I join?"
"Ah, it's Lord Blood Ye of the Darkspawn Clan..."
"We were just discussing the preparations for the Demon Sovereign's return."
"Lord Blood Ye, you've arrived at the perfect time. Perhaps you can offer some advice to the Thousand Demons Clan."
Thousand Demons Evil Chong's eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment's hesitation, he forced a cordial smile and warmly greeted Xue Ye.
"So, Lord Evil Chong, you've gathered the Thousand Demons Clan to discuss this matter."
"I had assumed you were plotting something... nefarious~"
"..."
The words hung in the air, and the scene fell into an instant, deathly silence. The very air seemed to freeze.
Everyone swallowed hard, their eyes turning toward Thousand Demons Evil Chong.
"Hahaha, Lord Blood Ye is such a joker~"
"My Thousand Demons Clan has resided in the Western Regions for generations, always living peacefully. Why would we plot such treachery...?"
Thousand Demons Evil Chong smiled lightly, his expression calm and unruffled, though inwardly he was already considering whether to strike down the Darkspawn Xue Ye and leave no trace.
Darkspawn Xue Ye sliced open his palm with a dagger, his cold gaze fixed on Thousand Demons Evil Chong. He chuckled softly.
"Is that so...?"
"But just as I entered, I seemed to overhear someone saying they wanted to depose the Demon Sovereign?"
With a flick of his arm, Darkspawn Xue Ye sent blood spraying through the air. The crimson droplets coalesced into a slender, whip-like blade of blood!
The blood blade transformed into a crimson shadow, slashing vertically through a man standing nearby. The motion was so swift that the others present didn't even have time to react!
As the blood blade dissolved back into liquid and returned to Darkspawn Xue Ye's palm, a crimson line began to spread from the dazed man's forehead...
In the next instant, the man—along with the floor of the hall—was split vertically in two!
The gushing blood drenched the hall's carpet in crimson!
And that man was precisely the one who had so arrogantly declared his intention to depose the Demon Sovereign!
The assembled crowd was startled by the scene.
They never imagined that Darkspawn Xue Ye would dare to make a move so suddenly, right here in the Thousand Demons Evil Hall!
This was the territory of the Thousand Demons Clan!
Thousand Demons Evil Chong, furious, was about to draw his sword on the spot, but Thousand Demons Evil Yu, standing beside him, pressed down on his arm.
Thousand Demons Evil Yu slowly shook his head at Thousand Demons Evil Chong.
Thousand Demons Evil Chong hesitated for a moment, his fierce gaze fixed on Darkspawn Xue Ye, before slowly loosening his hand from his waist.
Seeing this, Darkspawn Xue Ye felt a pang of regret.
*Tsk, he's holding back...*
*If only he'd attacked directly... I could have enjoyed that...*
"Lord Blood Ye, what is the meaning of this?!" Thousand Demons Evil Chong, suppressing his anger, demanded of Darkspawn Xue Ye.
"I'm doing this for your own good, Lord Evil Chong~"
"Daring to secretly plot against the Demon Sovereign in the Demon Realm is a capital offense punishable by the extermination of one's entire clan, according to the laws of the Demon Realm!"
"I'm eliminating a hidden threat for you, Lord Evil Chong, to prevent the Thousand Demons Clan from being implicated by 'that one' in the future~"
Darkspawn Xue Ye's gaze was icy, yet a faint smile played on his lips as he spoke calmly and composedly.
He emphasized the words "that one" with particular force, as if subtly alluding to someone present.
Thousand Demons Evil Chong clenched his fists in silent fury, forcing a sinister smile onto his face as he replied with mock gratitude:
"That's truly kind of you, Lord Blood Ye!"
"I was just thinking of clearing out some of those ill-mannered, loose-lipped fools!"
"Tell him what should and shouldn't be said!"
Darkspawn Xue Ye could tell Thousand Demons Evil Chong was deliberately targeting someone with his words.
But he paid it no mind.
If the Demon Sovereign hadn't ordered him to give these fools a chance, he would have annihilated the Thousand Demons Clan long ago...
Thousand Demons Evil Chong, believing he had gained the upper hand, put on an arrogant, triumphant smile and invited Darkspawn Xue Ye:
"Lord Blood Ye, today happens to be the day my son emerges from seclusion to celebrate."
"I've already prepared a banquet and invited everyone."
"You've arrived at just the right time. Won't you join us for the feast later?"
"Thank you for your kind offer, Lord Evil Chong."
"But there's no need to prepare a portion for me."
"I've already brought my own 'refreshments'~"
Darkspawn Xue Ye grinned sinisterly, and in full view of the Thousand Demons Clan, pulled a blood-soaked head from his Immortal Ring!
He raised the head high above his head, tilted his face back, opened his mouth, and extended a long, thin red tongue. With a look of pure enjoyment, he began lapping up the blood flowing from the severed neck!
The crowd turned pale and stumbled backward in terror.
One man quickly recognized the head in Darkspawn Xue Ye's hand. He pointed at it, his voice trembling with shock, and stammered:
"Isn't that Lord Xie Ke...?"
"Lord Xie Ke is dead?!"
"How could this be...!"
Qianmo Xie Ke was one of the most powerful figures in the Thousand Demons Clan, possessing the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor and serving as their leader!
And he had been killed so easily!
Thousand Demons Evil Chong bit his lip in fury, itching to strike down the Darkspawn on the spot!
Before the eyes of the Thousand Demons Clan, this creature was drinking the blood of their kin!
The audacity!
Having drunk his fill, Darkspawn Xue Ye casually tossed the head down from the platform. He licked his lips and said with a look of disdain:
"As expected, I still prefer women's blood to men's..."
"Or perhaps the blood of the Thousand Demons Clan is just inherently unpleasant..."
"You...!"
The assembled crowd seethed with rage but dared not act rashly.
Darkspawn Xue Ye offered a mock apology to Thousand Demons Evil Chong:
"My deepest apologies, Lord Evil Chong~"
"Your subordinate and some outsiders insisted on obstructing me and even spoke disrespectfully to me."
"That would have been fine, as I am quite magnanimous~"
"But they dared to insult the Demon Sovereign. I merely administered a small punishment—you must understand, surely?"
"I was simply teaching them what to say and what not to say!"
Thousand Demons Evil Chong: "...!!"
"Anyone who dares to insult the Demon Sovereign deserves death...!"
"It is our Thousand Demons Clan's failure to properly educate them, so you, Lord Blood Ye, are not to blame...!"
Thousand Demons Evil Chong said through gritted teeth.
To lose a clan expert before the operation even began was a dagger to his heart.
Yet he had to maintain a smiling facade and endure!
Now was not the time to turn against him...!
Darkspawn Xue Ye smiled in satisfaction, his gaze lingering on Thousand Demons Evil Yu standing beside Thousand Demons Evil Chong. Then he turned and swaggered away.
Before leaving, he turned back with a meaningful warning:
"By the way, Lord Evil Chong, a word of advice: before making any decisions, you should carefully consider the consequences."
"I've already eliminated the Demon Bone Clan, Gluttonous Feast Clan, and other groups who dared to disrespect the Demon Sovereign."
"I trust the Thousand Demons Clan won't follow in their footsteps, right?"
"Just a small suggestion, as you requested."
"Oh, my apologies, I've spoken too much. Farewell~"
After Darkspawn Xue Ye departed with elegant composure, the remaining members of the hall stood frozen in terror.
Thousand Demons Evil Chong was so enraged that his face contorted in fury!
*Damn that Darkspawn Xue Ye!*
*Damn that Demon Sovereign!*
