The demon realm will inevitably embark on the path of the strong under his rule.
It's laughable to fight him.
In the dead of night, when all was quiet, Yu Jinshuo, who had been going over his perfect plan again and again, also fell asleep.
Meanwhile, Yu Xinyi, inside the mansion, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
In the main hall, he pretended as usual, feigning incomprehension of what was happening before him. He remembered that his father had gently patted his shoulder, sighed softly, and then told him to go back.
Whether it was feigned or instinctive, she called out, "Father..."
He always felt that the faint sigh was so heavy, pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
The only response he received was the weary figure of the Demon Lord, which saddened him.
After returning home, he considered countless possibilities but couldn't understand why his father had done such a thing.
The situation in the demon realm is definitely not optimistic. If the immortal and demon realms join forces, even if there is a demon god, they will face a major crisis.
It's fair to say that this is a time when we need people, so why fall out with Yu Jinshuo?
Could it be that Father has truly reached his breaking point?
Yu Xinyi began to calculate how much help his men could provide if Yu Jinshuo really rebelled.
With such a jumble of thoughts on her mind, how could Yu Xinyi possibly fall asleep peacefully?
I tossed and turned in bed, feeling restless and anxious.
In the quiet bedroom of Yu Jinshuo in the Prince's Mansion, a dim figure silently emerged, blending into the darkness.
It slowly approached the bed, its movements elusive, as if it hadn't moved a single foot, but had simply floated over.
It didn't make a sound, not even a sense of air movement.
Standing beside Yu Jinshuo's bed, looking at the sleeping Yu Jinshuo, she suddenly made a move, pressing two fingers against Yu Jinshuo's neck. The dark, shadowy fingers pierced into Yu Jinshuo's neck like sharp needles.
Yu Jinshuo, fast asleep, didn't even have a chance to struggle. His body stiffened, and then he collapsed limply onto the bed.
The phantom pulled Yu Jinshuo up, hoisted him onto its shoulder, and slowly disappeared as abruptly as it had appeared.
The whole process took only a few breaths and did not disturb anyone.
Yu Jinshuo quietly disappeared from his own palace and his own bedroom.
Outside the city, the shadowy figure put Yu Jinshuo down, patted him, and Yu Jinshuo's body twitched, his eyes opening.
Before his eyes was a star-studded night sky, and in his ears was the whistling of the wind through the branches. Yu Jinshuo knew that something might not be right in his current situation.
Her body was limp and powerless, and she couldn't even feel the temperature around her. Her eyes turned to look at the shadowy figure beside her whose features she couldn't make out, and she remained silent.
Yu Jinshuo knew that nothing he said would make a difference now; the key was to see what the other party wanted to do.
The man didn't care whether Yu Jinshuo was awake or not. Instead, he turned around, casually flicked his wrist, and a large pit immediately appeared on the ground, with soil piled up to the side.
Yu Jinshuo stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Did they intend to bury him alive without even discussing the terms?
After the large pit appeared, the shadowy figure took out a bottle of liquid from somewhere and slowly poured it into the pit, where it seeped into the soil at the bottom.
As he smelled the faint scent wafting in the air, Yu Jinshuo's face suddenly turned pale.
If he remembered correctly, that substance was a bone-dissolving liquid that could melt bones...
Could it be... that he wants to...?
Even Yu Jinshuo, who held great power, was so frightened that he struggled desperately, opening his mouth to call out something, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't utter a single word.
His body was completely immobile; he was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
After the shadowy figure finished clearing the large pit, he turned around, reached out, grabbed Yu Jinshuo's arm, lifted him up, and walked towards the pit.
The closer he got to the pit, the stronger the pungent smell of the bone-dissolving water became, like a knife constantly stabbing into his mind.
His heart was pounding, and his blood felt like it was freezing. He could even hear his teeth chattering.
All his senses left him; all he could see was the crater of death getting closer and closer; he could hear nothing but the pounding of his own heart.
Suddenly, the scenery in front of me moved rapidly, and the angle of the crater changed quickly.
He was thrown out.
It’s over!
I didn't have time to think of anything else; all I felt was the fear of death.
He expected excruciating pain, but his falling body suddenly stopped, spun around, and he was slammed heavily onto the ground next to him, where there were rubble everywhere.
This pain, tinged with the hope of life, made Yu Jinshuo open his eyes in surprise.
He's still alive?
Upon realizing this, I immediately turned my eyes to see what had happened.
Just then, they saw the dark figure being knocked to the ground by a man in black. The man in black's two large hands were gripping the dark figure's head, and a faint, eerie green light flashed across them.
Yu Jinshuo's pupils suddenly contracted; it was the power controlling his consciousness.
When the man in black released his hands, the shadowy figure stood up somewhat dazedly and walked away stiffly.
The man in black walked up to Yu Jinshuo and looked down at him coldly.
Yu Jinshuo's heart was pounding inexplicably. Had he just escaped one danger only to fall into another?
Fortunately, the man in black did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he injected a power into him. The powerful demonic energy allowed Yu Jinshuo's body to quickly regain sensation, but he was not able to move immediately.
After doing all this, the man in black said nothing and turned to leave.
"Please wait!" Yu Jinshuo called out quickly. He needed to get to the bottom of what had happened tonight. "Why did you save me?"
"You can't die yet." The man in black didn't turn around, but coldly threw out his answer.
Yu Jinshuo is not someone who easily trusts others. Do you think that saving him like this will make him believe that the person in front of him is good to him?
Who knows if what's happening in front of us is a carefully orchestrated trap?
What does it mean that he's not dead?
Could it be that this man in black wants to use him for something?
Yu Jinshuo didn't speak, waiting to see what the man in black would say next.
To his surprise, the man in black didn't say anything more and strode away. His decisive manner left Yu Jinshuo stunned.
They're leaving already?
A conspiracy?
What's the plan?
What's going on here?
"You..." Yu Jinshuo wanted to call out, but found that the man in black had disappeared. He closed his mouth dejectedly, his heart filled with doubt.
What exactly happened?
Yu Jinshuo lay on the ground waiting for his body to slowly recover, but his mind was constantly working.
The bone-dissolving water just now was definitely real, and the shadowy figure's movements were also real; it was definitely not acting. He could sense it.
In other words, the person who killed him and the person who saved him were not the same person.
Most importantly, he knew about the final power that interfered with consciousness. That power could induce hallucinations, but it was very taxing on the user, which was why he hadn't cultivated it.
Could it be that the man in black wanted the phantom to think he had killed him?
If I kill him... the person I want to kill most right now is...
Demon Lord!
These two words flashed through his mind, and a vicious, cold light appeared in Yu Jinshuo's eyes.
No wonder the Demon Lord reacted so strangely today; it turns out he was prepared all along.
how?
Do you want to kill him first and then subdue his forces?
You underestimate him. Do you think his power is all superficial?
Yu Jinshuo slowly sat up. His strength had been restored, and he released it to summon his hidden subordinates.
Under the moonlight, the shadows quickly coalesced, then coalesced into a human shape, kneeling before Yu Jinshuo: "Your Highness."
"Go to the palace and investigate the matter of the Demon Lord," Yu Jinshuo ordered.
"Yes." The figure dispersed, quickly disappearing from the ground and merging into the darkness.
Yu Jinshuo turned his head to look at the huge pit next to him, the pit that had almost become his burial place, and a cold, bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.
"Demon Lord, Demon Lord, did you think I had no subordinates? No matter how strong you are, you never expected that I would have Shadow Demon among my subordinates, did you?"
Shadow spirits are the lowest of the demons and monsters. They are born in the shade of trees during the day—the shadows cast by the branches under the sunlight, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to become spirits. The life of a shadow spirit is only one day; they are born in the morning and die at dusk.
The Shadow Phantom disappeared with the sunlight, but he managed to cultivate Shadow Phantoms that could survive for a long time through various means.
Because Shadow Charm is too delicate, he rarely uses it. However, if Shadow Charm wants to investigate information, it is definitely the most powerful.
Who would guard against a shadow?
He wanted to see who was behind this; if it was the Demon Lord, things would get interesting.
Under the cool, dark autumn night, Yu Jinshuo smiled coldly, as if he had gone mad, with a bloodthirsty hatred flashing in his eyes.
He slammed his fist heavily into the ground, leaving a deep mark.
