“Anyone with a brain would understand that you will be a weakness of the Lord. If we capture you, we can use you to deal with the Lord, wouldn’t that be twice as effective and easy?” “Liu Xinya” said, watching with satisfaction as Liu Lanyan’s eyes gleamed, clearly her mind was in turmoil.
The moment she loses her composure, that will be the best opportunity for him to strike, and his chances of victory will be even greater.
"Despicable people will always have such despicable thoughts." Liu Lanyan sneered, glancing disdainfully at "Liu Xinya." "If she really wanted to use me, why would Master have come here?"
"Haha..." Upon hearing Liu Lanyan's question, "Liu Xinya" threw her head back and laughed loudly, as if she had heard something funny and couldn't stop laughing.
"Liu Lanyan, Liu Lanyan, you are so naive." "Liu Xinya" pointed at Liu Lanyan with her finger, "Our deployment is not limited to sealing off just this one space. Do you think we haven't made preparations in other parts of Wuchenju?"
"The hour of Hai (9-11 PM) is when the Lord is at his weakest. Should he stay outside and face the dangers of unknown enemies, or come here to be protected by you?" Liu Xinya said, laughing as she uttered the cruelest words in the world.
"Your Majesty, come here. Weren't you very moved? You risked your life to block everything?" Liu Xinya said viciously, each word as if it wanted to turn into a sharp blade to cut Liu Lanyan's flesh and blood.
"You concealed your strength, naturally you had your reasons, but in the end you were still exposed, weren't you? The Lord is indeed the Lord, everything is within his plan."
"Is your guess interesting?" Liu Lanyan said calmly, as if she was not moved by "Liu Xinya's" words at all. However, "Liu Xinya" was observing Liu Lanyan's every move so carefully, how could she not notice the slight sway of her sleeves, or that her hands were trembling.
It seems her reaction was definitely not as calm as she said; Liu Lanyan's heart was still in turmoil.
"Whether it's just speculation or not, you know the answer in your heart." "Liu Xinya" pressed on, determined to disrupt Liu Lanyan's mind and then capture the Demon God. This was his mission for tonight; he could only succeed, and failure was absolutely not an option.
“Liu Lanyan, you should understand. If the Lord truly loved you as much as he showed, he wouldn’t have made it so obvious. He should know how many enemies he has. If he truly loved you, he should have protected you well, kept you hidden away, and not revealed the slightest bit of it to outsiders.”
"Only in this way can it be true love."
Liu Xinya's voice grew colder as he spoke, but he was secretly delighted, because he saw Liu Lanyan's sleeves trembling more and more violently. His psychological maneuver had achieved the effect he needed.
"Your parents died, and you became an orphan. You thought you had found a backer and warmth? Wake up, Liu Lanyan. It's all an illusion. You are just a pawn in the Lord's hands, a pawn used as a shield in times of crisis."
"Shut up!" Liu Lanyan roared, each word squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying a bloodthirsty aura, like the cold death energy rising from the deepest hell, "Don't assume everyone else is like you just because you're pathetic!"
"Is that so? Is that really what you think?" Liu Xinya sneered as he looked at Liu Lanyan. At this moment, he was quite certain that Liu Lanyan's mind was in complete disarray. It was time.
"Miss Liu, don't listen to his nonsense!" Peng Zhen sensed something was wrong and shouted urgently. He noticed that Liu Lanyan's body was trembling slightly, which seemed to be a bit like she was going into a state of demonic possession.
“Miss Liu, you and the Lord go first, leave this to me!” Peng Zhen said decisively.
He couldn't defeat the person in front of him, but he could still hold him back for a while at all costs. As long as they reunited with the people in Wuchen Residence, the Venerable Lord and Liu Lanyan would be safe.
"Trying to leave? Too late!" "Liu Xinya" said with a sinister smile to Liu Lanyan, "Liu Lanyan, get out of the way. Is it worth risking your life for someone who pushed you into the public eye?"
As he spoke, he murmured something, and the moon overhead suddenly turned blood red, as if it were about to drip blood. A pitch-black cloud, seemingly appearing out of nowhere in the night sky, quickly and completely obscured the blood-red moon.
A powerful force, several times stronger than all the previous forces, suddenly burst forth and quickly filled the world.
The power was so immense that even the boundaries of this enclosed space creaked and groaned, as if it could no longer withstand the force and was about to shatter at any moment.
A smug smile appeared on Liu Xinya's lips. He could sense that Liu Lanyan wanted to resist him, but her mind had been disturbed by his words. The power she had gathered was not pure and could dissipate at any moment.
"Die!" Liu Xinya screamed, raising his arm high. A violent black whirlwind condensed from his palm. As he suddenly flipped his palm down, the black whirlwind roared and rushed towards Liu Lanyan and the demon god Peng Zhen behind her.
Without a second thought, Peng Zhen rushed forward. Even if he couldn't block the attack, he absolutely couldn't let Liu Lanyan get hurt; she was the Lord's most precious treasure.
Liu Xinya laughed triumphantly; their years of planning were finally about to come to fruition tonight.
He waited for the whirlwind to engulf Liu Lanyan, the demon god, and capture them alive.
The wind howled and raged, and the ground by the lake quickly cracked. Cracks spread like a spider web, and the cracks were more than ten feet deep. The wet soil that rose up instantly turned into sand.
If someone gets involved, even someone with Liu Lanyan's strength would probably be helpless.
Just as "Liu Xinya" was waiting to reap his bountiful harvest, a scene unfolded that caused his heart to stop.
The inky whirlwind, whose power nearly destroyed the enclosed space, suddenly stopped. The whirlwind remained stationary, neither moving nor swirling, and even the sand and gravel it had stirred up were suspended in mid-air. What a bizarre scene this was!
Liu Xinya stared blankly over and saw the demon god, who had been sitting on the big rock, extend his hand, which was as perfect as if carved from jade. The tip of his index finger shimmered with a faint light, like a dream.
With just a single finger, the power of a single finger brought that terrifying inky whirlwind to a standstill.
The wind stopped, the sand ceased, and the world fell silent.
"I dote on someone without needing to do it secretly." The demon god spoke calmly, his gentle smile as warm as a spring breeze, which sent chills down Liu Xinya's spine and made her blood run cold.
"Affection is affection. I want the whole world to know who is the most important person to me." The demon god's voice was not loud, but every word was clear and resounding, loudly announcing his intentions.
Suddenly, Liu Xinya heard a clacking sound. Upon closer listening, she realized it was the sound of her upper and lower teeth chattering.
He was no longer afraid, but terrified, deeply terrified, staring in horror at the demon god opposite him, listening to the demon god's clear and elegant voice.
"At Hai hour... is something about to happen?" the demon god asked softly, flicking his fingers. A jade-like light shot out quickly, disappearing into the dark whirlwind, and then... vanished...
Without the collapse of the heavens and the cracking of the earth, without lightning and thunder, that terrifying black whirlwind that had gathered all of Liu Xinya's power simply disappeared quietly, like a snowflake falling into lava, silently dissipating without a trace, as if it had never existed at all.
The demon god curled his lips and smiled. His gentle smile was so elegant and mild. However, to Liu Xinya, it seemed like a death warrant from the underworld, filling him with terror and making his whole body tremble.
This is the true power of the Lord.
The power of the gods of the demon realm!
Chapter 77 is not simple.
The demon god withdrew his arm, placed his slender fingers on his knee, and glanced at "Liu Xinya" with a half-smile. He didn't say a word, just watched quietly, which made "Liu Xinya" feel uneasy.
Completely unaware, he had already started backing away.
It was purely instinctive; his sense of danger told him to stay away from the demon god, as far away as possible.
The demon god was not in a hurry and calmly watched him.
Liu Xinya's expression suddenly froze, and his body stopped moving. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he couldn't.
Staring in terror at the demon god sitting calmly on the large rock in the distance, "Liu Xinya" felt her legs trembling uncontrollably.
"Do you think the plan is perfect?" the demon god asked slowly.
Liu Xinya had no idea how to answer. What could she possibly say?
Everything was going well until Liu Lanyan suddenly appeared, forcing him to take action. After finally discovering Liu Lanyan's weakness and disrupting her concentration, he realized that the information they had received was completely inaccurate.
The claims about the hour of Hai (9-11 PM) and the weakening of demons and gods are all false.
His all-out attack was easily dealt with by the demon god with a mere flick of his finger.
They thought they had set a trap to capture the demon god, but little did they know that in the end, they themselves jumped into the trap and became the demon god's prey.
The demon god did not expect an answer to his question, and nodded in response to his own question: "Your plan is indeed perfect."
"By burying the Demon Realm's Bewitching Grass in the dark corners of Wuchen Residence, combined with your barrier, it's a perfect way to prevent outsiders from discovering it." The Demon God strongly affirmed the Demon Realm's actions, but at this moment, such affirmation seemed more like mockery.
Liu Xinya, her face pale, stared at the Demon God and said sarcastically, "So the Lord still found out, didn't he?"
If you want to be sarcastic, just say it openly. What kind of behavior is this, humiliating them like this?
"If I couldn't detect you, I wouldn't be called the Demon God." The Demon God said matter-of-factly, "The scent of the Bewitching Grass is so unique, do you think my sense of smell is abnormal?"
It would have been better if the demon god hadn't said those words; they made Liu Xinya so angry that her nose almost crooked.
He cursed inwardly, knowing that apart from a few animals that were exceptionally sensitive to such things, no one would ever discover the existence of the Bewitching Grass.
The reason why the plant is called the "Bewitching Grass" is that, apart from its other characteristics, the most important one is the word "bewitching".
The meaning of "to be confused".
At first glance, the 'drowsy grass' looks exactly like any other roadside weed, and no one would pay much attention to it.
Even people from the Demon Realm need special methods to find the Bewitching Grass among the many weeds.
Following their instructions, Liu Xinya placed the Bewitching Grass in overgrown areas. Moreover, she scattered the seeds of the Bewitching Grass, which would take root and sprout in less than a day, blending into the surrounding weeds so that no one would notice.
Liu Xinya has lived in Wuchenju for so long and traveled to many places, only selectively scattering the seeds of the Bewitching Grass. How could she have been discovered?
Thinking of this, a strange idea suddenly popped into Liu Xinya's mind. The Demon God said that the scent of the Bewitching Grass was unique. Could it be that he could really smell the scent of the Bewitching Grass?
The Demon God is also a person from the demon realm, and naturally also a demon. So what exactly is his true form?
What kind of demon is it?
Of course, even if he had eight times the courage, he wouldn't dare to ask such a question.
Nothing else matters now, the important thing is that he can't die here.
Liu Xinya stared at the demon god, her mind racing with plans for tonight's events. She was no longer thinking about how to capture the demon god.
His most important issue now is getting out of trouble.
"Very well, what a fine Lord!" Liu Xinya stared intently at the Demon God and said through gritted teeth, "He actually laid this trap, waiting for someone to fall into it. I suppose that news at Hai Shi (9-11 PM) was also deliberately released by the Lord?"
Faced with Liu Xinya's probing words, the Demon God smiled but remained silent, his faint smile as cold and elegant as a snow plum blossom.
The demon god did not react, leaving "Liu Xinya" completely at a loss, not knowing what the situation was.
The demon god simply looked at "Liu Xinya" quietly, then slowly raised his palm, and jade-like light gathered at his fingertips.
The faint light, not particularly bright, resembled the glow of fireflies against the vast night sky.
Faint and small, as if it could be extinguished at any moment, or swallowed up by the inky night sky.
However, that light, as lustrous as jade, was tiny yet absolutely impossible to ignore.
Liu Xinya stared intently at the point of light, more terrified than if she had seen a demon from the underworld. She could clearly feel the powerful force emanating from that light.
Lock him up so he can't escape.
The wind blows gently.
The lake surface shimmered, and the leaves rustled softly.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and all attention was focused on the glowing light between the demon gods.
The demon god chuckled softly, and with that chuckle, he flicked his finger, sending the fluorescent light steadily flying toward "Liu Xinya".
It wasn't fast; it just flew steadily toward "Liu Xinya," as if an invisible thread in the night sky was guiding it toward "Liu Xinya."
Liu Xinya tried her best to use her power to break free, but the demon god had her locked up and she couldn't move an inch.
He watched helplessly as the fluorescent light flew towards him, slowly expanding in his eyes and getting closer and closer, as if the scythe of death was slowly reaping his life.
As she drew closer, "Liu Xinya's" breathing became increasingly rapid. Her deathly pale face finally regained some color, and her eyes, bloodshot and wide open, seemed to bulge out.
