Chapter 169 The Demon Clan Full of Fighting Spirit
Southern Demon Realm.
The Crimson Demon General's Mansion.
Yun Li stood at the back of the line, silently listening to the demons in front of him speak.
"How many times have we done this mission? How can things still go wrong?" The deputy general in charge asked coldly.
"It's all because of your repeated failures that we haven't been able to infiltrate the demons in the south, and the commander's mission remains unfinished!"
"The commander personally dispatched his daughter to assist you in controlling the Azure Stone Sect, thereby infiltrating the entire Southern Region's sects. And what have you all done? You've all come back. What use are you to me?"
Before him stood a group of demons of various appearances, heads bowed, all looking somewhat aggrieved.
They had no choice. The plan had been going very smoothly until something suddenly went wrong at the Southern Spirit Sect.
If they had known that the ruins of Jueling Island would attract the elders of the Nanling Sect, they wouldn't have sent demons there to cause trouble in the first place.
Now look what happened! They lost both their wife and their army, and even the Demon General's daughter was lost. All the demons under their command were wiped out by the Southern Spirit Sect. It's already a miracle that the few of them managed to escape!
However, they dared not say these words to the deputy general in front of them, lest the latter become enraged and tear them apart to feed to the abyss.
"Our young master stayed in the Southern Region. We couldn't find his whereabouts, so we didn't come back together," one of the demons explained.
"Of course I know that. If the young master hadn't chosen to stay in the Southern Region, would you still be alive here? You would have been torn to pieces long ago!"
The lieutenant's expression was sarcastic.
"You all go down and reflect on your actions!"
The demons finally breathed a sigh of relief; as long as they survived, that was enough.
However, once they went outside, they began to complain.
The young master was not in any danger, yet they didn't even come to say a word, causing them to live in constant fear.
If they knew the other party's plans in advance, would they have reported it this way?
However, before they could even utter a word of complaint, a thick black fog suddenly surged out from outside, and a gaping maw opened within the fog, instantly swallowing them whole.
Before the demons could even shout, they had completely disappeared.
The other demons involuntarily looked away when they saw this scene.
Inside the mansion, the deputy general was still talking to other demons. If anyone from the Southern Spirit Sect or the Forgotten Dust Sect saw this, they would be surprised to find out.
The two female demons standing at the front were familiar faces.
On the left is Yun Li, and on the right is a female demon in a pink dress who looks remarkably similar to the female demon who was killed by the Red Moon Sect Master of the Forgotten Dust Sect.
"Your missions have all failed. Is there anything special about the Southern Spirit Sect? Or has the Supreme Elder of the Southern Spirit Sect returned?" The deputy general asked with a grave expression.
"That shouldn't be the case. The Supreme Elder of the Southern Spirit Sect and the Holy Son of the Northern Region are trapped in special ruins, guarded by His Highness the Demon King. It's impossible for them to break through the blockade."
"Could it be that female disciple named Lan Yue? What's so special about her?"
The lieutenant pondered for a moment. This was the second time he had heard the name Lan Yue since Yun Li returned from his failed mission a few months ago.
The first time I heard this name was from another young master.
The other young master of the Crimson Demon General's Mansion is a human-ghost whom His Highness the Demon King rescued from the outskirts of the Southern Spirit Sect. He has a good talent for cultivating demonic arts, so he was left here.
It is said that the Demon King originally wanted to kidnap another boy with even greater talent, but something went wrong halfway through, so he had to bring back the human-ghost young master named Yuanbao.
Since this young master arrived at the Crimson Demon General's Mansion, he has warned all the demons in the mansion to bring back a person named Lan Yue to torture when they go to the Southern Region to carry out missions.
However, the demons sent to the ruins of Jueling Island all failed. The inheritance of the Central Holy Land was not destroyed, but instead fell into the hands of the Nanling Sect in the Southern Region.
It is said that this was all thanks to Bai Lanyue and that person named Yunxi, who took away the inheritance ahead of time.
The second time was after Yun Li returned and told them the information.
However, both Yun Li and Young Master Yuanbao spoke very vaguely, and every time they mentioned Lan Yue's abilities, they would suddenly shut up, as if they were sealed by some power.
From this moment on, the deputy demon general already knew that this person named Lan Yue seemed to be very important.
"My sister Liu Lian'er was about to complete her mission. She had even planned who would cultivate the Heartbreak Demon Art next. But it was that person named Lan Yue who exposed Lian'er's actions and plans."
"In front of so many Nascent Soul cultivators, and with so many sect leaders and elders watching over her, my sister had absolutely no power to resist!"
Liu's eyes seemed to be filled with venom. Her sister could have come back alive, all because of that person named Lan Yue!
She will make sure that this person, and everyone around Lan Yue, suffer a terrible death!
"Mission failure is failure. Don't make any excuses. It can only be said that you were careless. Next, you will go to other places to spread demonic arts. You must not let the Southern Spirit Sect find out again!"
"If the mission fails again, you don't need to come back. I will throw you into the Southern Battlefield as living shields."
"What about the other demons? We told you to choose a new sect to infiltrate, but why did you all run away before even starting the mission?"
"Don't tell me that the Southern Spirit Sect Master and the Crimson Moon Sect Master are guarding the place. Didn't I give you the latest version of magical artifacts to hide your demonic energy? Are you going to squander such a good opportunity?"
The deputy demon general was practically spitting blood. Why was infiltrating even a southern region so difficult? Everything was going wrong; every mission ended in failure!
They have even developed a magical artifact that can conceal demonic energy, in order to help the Demon Realm control the sects on the human side.
Unexpectedly, this time it was even more outrageous. The demons sent over didn't even see the disciples of the Wangchen Sect before turning around and running back!
We gave you the Domain Breaking Talismans so that you could bring back crucial information after completing your mission, not so you could just visit the site!
The deputy demon general was furious! These useless demons! Go eat shit!
Yun Li, on the other side, looked somewhat innocent. Although she knew that Lan Yue possessed a magical artifact that allowed people around her to hear her thoughts and also to uncover other people's privacy.
But she couldn't bring herself to say those words! Every time Yunli had this thought, even if she tried to write it down on paper, a terrifying force would descend and grip her throat.
Over time, she had no choice but to give up the idea and completely give up.
Forget it, let the vice-president try it out himself. He'll soon know the power of that Lan Yue guy.
Lan Yue's martial arts skills aren't that great, but she can use "mental attacks"! That's the most terrifying thing. The deputy general is still inexperienced, otherwise he wouldn't have almost been brought to tears.
"Forget it, you demons are useless. I'll personally lead the teams for the upcoming North and South Regions Grand Competition. I refuse to believe we can't catch that troublemaker, Lan Yue!"
"She's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Unless she's protected by the elders of the Southern Spirit Sect at all times! The elders of the Southern Spirit Sect have been extremely busy lately, and a group of them have already been dispatched to the Southern Region battlefield. I refuse to believe that they can't do anything to a little girl under these circumstances!"
The demon general clenched his dark fists so tightly they cracked.
This time, he is determined to wash away the shame of the Demon General's Mansion and let the Southern Spirit Sect and other sects see the power of the Southern Demon Realm!
"Kill Lan Yue!" Yuan Bao, who had appeared out of nowhere, said menacingly.
"And Yuan Shuo must die too! What right did he have to take my place?"
"Die! Die, all of you!"
The two demons spoke back and forth, not actually communicating, but it sounded quite harmonious.
Yun Li, who was sitting quietly to the side, was holding a teacup and looking at the two demons in front of him.
Anyway, no way she's going to the Southern Spirit Sect to do missions again!
She had no way to deal with Lan Yue, and she was also very afraid of the immortal artifact.
Let these guys go looking for death. Over there, the deputy demon general is still cheering on the other demons.
"Those guys in the Eastern Demon Realm tried to cooperate with the demon race, but failed. It's said they even lost the Netherworld Lamp. The Demon King's Palace is furious and has already killed quite a few demons."
"While they're down on their luck, our Southern Demon Realm can make a name for itself and let all the demons see it!"
The deputy demon general is full of fighting spirit.
To this, Yun Li, who was standing to the side, had only one expression.
Yes, yes, yes, that's right, wish you success!
