104: Blood Puppet Master! Mu Yunxiao's identity revealed!

The emaciated old man's words immediately caused an uproar.

Feeling the terrifying pressure and nauseating aura emanating from the old man, everyone couldn't help but panic again.

The previous formation was a fear of the unknown, but now it was a fear of a third-rank demon!

The powerful cultivators looked at the blood-robed demon in the void, discussing in low voices.

"Who exactly is he? What does he mean? Why would His Highness Yanwang want to kill Lord Li?"

"And what does he mean by 'blood material'? And who is his 'precious child'?"

"This is a third-rank expert from the Demonic Cult! What exactly is going on?!"

"..."

Looking at the self-destructing allied army, Chen Qingxuan suppressed the unease in his heart and shouted to everyone, trying to calm them down:

"Everyone, don't panic! Although this demon is strong, he is only a third-rank!"

"We have an absolute advantage in numbers, so the demon is definitely not our match!"

"As for him saying that Yanwang wants to kill Lord Li, it must be an attempt to sow discord. Do not fall for the demon's trick and throw yourselves into disarray!"

The next moment, Chen Qingxuan, who was shouting loudly, felt as if he was being targeted by a primordial beast. His body suddenly stiffened, and he looked up, meeting the gaze of the blood-robed demon.

"Noisy ants!"

The blood-robed demon snorted coldly, then raised his palm, condensing a bloody handprint, and slapped it towards Chen Qingxuan.

Chen Qingxuan's face instantly changed in horror. He knew he could never block this attack!

With a look of panic, he shouted towards Mu Yunxiao's location:

"Your Highness Yanwang, save me!"

However, Mu Yunxiao heard his cry but remained unmoved, his expression unchanged.

Chen Qingxuan was instantly stunned, and a chilling thought surfaced in his mind...

Mu Yunxiao had also colluded with the Demonic Cult!

Just as Chen Qingxuan stood frozen, and the experts from various sects behind him scattered like birds, the bloody handprint condensed by the blood-robed demon had already arrived before him.

A wave of pressure rendered him immobile, let alone allowed him to escape.

Feeling the pressure of the bloody handprint, Chen Qingxuan's face instantly turned pale, and a sense of impending death enveloped his heart.

Although he claimed to be a half-step third-rank, in the eyes of a true third-rank expert, he was nothing more than an ant...

Just as he was waiting for death, a teleportation array suddenly appeared beneath his feet, and his figure instantly vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already beside Li Shengyuan.

But the bloody palm print did not stop; instead, it continued to strike the heavily wounded disciples of the Giant Spirit Hall.

As the palm print fell, the earth shook!

More than half of the already few disciples of the Giant Spirit Hall were killed or wounded again.

Only the allied army's experts, who were still in good condition, managed to escape in their panic.

Seeing that this demon even killed his own people, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and then fled behind Li Shengyuan.

Chen Qingxuan, still shaken, quickly cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Hangzhou.

"Qingxuan thanks Chief Ye for saving his life."

Ye Hangzhou's expression was cold, and he did not respond.

However, the blood-robed demon merely scoffed indifferently, seemingly regretting that he hadn't killed everyone from the Giant Spirit Hall with one strike.

Then, with a wary gaze, he looked at Ye Hangzhou, who was beside Li Shengyuan, and said with a grim face:

"Chief Ye, the Second Chief of the Imperial Observatory, truly lives up to his reputation!"

Li Shengyuan, looking at the blood-robed demon opposite him, chuckled calmly and self-assuredly.

"I wondered who it was, but it's just Blood Puppet Venerable, the defeated subordinate of Division Lord Qin Yang of my Demon Suppression Division!"

"Could it be that you've forgotten how miserably Division Lord Qin Yang beat you three years ago, forcing you to flee Southern Xinjiang? And now you've appeared in the Northern Territory, are you just clinging to life like a dog?!"

The still-shaken crowd was somewhat surprised to hear that Li Shengyuan knew this Demonic Cult demon. Hearing that he had been miserably defeated and forced to flee before, their hearts were greatly reassured!

Although he was no match for this third-rank demon, as long as he had been utterly defeated before, he wasn't so terrifying.

Blood Puppet Venerable looked at Li Shengyuan, his face ashen, his emaciated and ugly body trembling slightly with anger.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Shengyuan, saying, "What a sharp-tongued brat!"

"It's true that I lost to Qin Yang three years ago, but the me of today is no longer the me of then!"

"And now that Qin Yang is not here, I'd like to see how you all will resist me!"

"Today, I will use the blood of you Demon Suppression Envoys to wash away the humiliation of three years ago!"

After an angry roar, Blood Puppet Venerable formed hand seals and chanted a mysterious and eerie incantation.

Immediately, the towering crimson light pillar began to tremble, as if something terrifying was about to burst forth from within!

Li Shengyuan, with a cold gaze, held his long saber and coldly shouted:

"Three years ago, Division Lord Qin Yang allowed you to escape Southern Xinjiang by chance, but today you will not have such an opportunity. The Northern Territory will be your burial ground!"

"Arrogant! Even the old man Qin Yang couldn't keep me, you young brat are not qualified enough!" Blood Puppet Venerable roared.

Then he looked at Mu Yunxiao and roared loudly, "Mu Yunxiao, today is the best time to get rid of this brat. After today, you will have no more chances. You don't even dare with the great formation isolating us, how long are you going to wait?!"

Mu Yunxiao's eyes were deep, his expression as calm as still water, and he stood with his hands behind his back, saying nothing.

Li Shengyuan looked at Mu Yunxiao coldly and asked:

"Your Highness Yanwang, you couldn't possibly have truly colluded with the Demonic Cult, could you?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze turned to Mu Yunxiao.

Except for a small number of people who already knew, everyone else felt uneasy.

If Mu Yunxiao didn't betray them, then a single Blood Puppet Venerable wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble, but if he really was allied with Blood Puppet Venerable, then today would be disastrous...

Thinking this, the hearts of the various sect experts sank to the bottom.

Under everyone's gaze, Mu Yunxiao calmly shook his head.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile appearing on their faces.

Someone even spoke up, "I knew it! How could someone as virtuous and meritorious as His Highness Yanwang collude with the Demonic Cult..."

However, Mu Yunxiao's next words caused the smiles on everyone's faces to freeze.

"This King naturally disdains joining the Demonic Cult, but the Demonic Cult is not without its merits. This King and the Demonic Cult are merely in a cooperative relationship!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Mu Yunxiao in disbelief, even some of the experts from Yanwang City he had brought with him were stunned.

Some even looked at Zhou Bing, hoping he would say that all of this was false on behalf of Yanwang.

But Zhou Bing's expression remained unchanged; instead, he looked at them with dangerous eyes.

No one had expected that His Highness Yanwang, who had always served the country and the people, would actually collude with the Demonic Cult...

Oh, no.

According to him, it should be a cooperation with the Demonic Cult...

But to everyone, there was no difference anymore.

Only a faint smile appeared on Li Shengyuan's face.

He looked at Mu Yunxiao, nodded, and smiled, "Since His Highness Yanwang has openly admitted it, then it's easy to handle!"

"Even if I kill you here today, no one will dare say anything!"
