CHAPTER 266: CHAPTER 253: RETURN TO POSITION (PART 1)

Under the night sky.

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable quickly arrived at the Mu Family!

He had made up his mind that this time, he would execute a bloodbath on the Mu Family within a short period and then immediately leave with Yue Zhilan.

By then, even if discovered by other cultivators, they would not be able to find him.

He had also inquired about the situation of the Mu Family in advance.

Although the Mu Family is a cultivation family, cultivation is extremely difficult, and most people are only mediocre. No matter how hard they try, they can only stagnate at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages. The Mu Family only had Mu Nanqing, who, at a young age, managed to break through to Divinity Transformation.

A bunch of Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage weaklings, he could destroy them with a flick of his wrist, and it wouldn’t cause much commotion.

Thinking this way.

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable had already reached the backyard of the Mu Family.

His expression was cold, and Demonic Qi surged in the palm of his hand.

He was about to make his move.

The next moment.

The lights in the backyard burst into brilliance.

The facial expression of the Yin Yang Demon Venerable shifted dramatically.

Mu Nanqing and Shi Nian slowly walked out.

At this moment, Mu Nanqing’s feelings were somewhat complicated.

Mainly...

This matter was, to say the least, complicated beyond words.

He, a Demon Lord, had painstakingly infiltrated the Human Realm; there must be an important reason for this.

Normally, he would stay hidden if at all possible.

Yet, just for a few words from a woman, he exposed himself, intent on annihilating the Mu Family!

Is this normal?

Mu Nanqing felt a profound sense of surrealism.

She was unsure.

Was there something wrong with her, or was there something amiss with the Demon Lord?

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable, upon seeing Mu Nanqing and Shi Nian, fixed his gaze on Shi Nian, his voice slightly chilly: "Shi Nian!"

This woman was now hated by the entire Demon World to the point of gnashing teeth.

He did not expect to encounter her here.

Then, the woman by her side...

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable narrowed his eyes.

Shi Nian, who came from Ling Tian Peak of Divine Martial Sect and bullied Zhilan, was Mu Nanqing’s senior sister.

Present at the Mu Family and together with Shi Nian.

So, this woman, was she Mu Nanqing?

The expression on the Yin Yang Demon Venerable’s face turned cold.

He attempted to attack them both.

However.

With just a gentle wave of Shi Nian’s sleeve, the Demonic Qi dissipated in an instant.

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable’s expression changed slightly.

He dared to come to annihilate the Mu Family on the premise that the highest cultivation level in the family was just at the Golden Core Stage.

Though his body had not fully recovered and he dared not use too much Demonic Qi, eliminating the Mu Family was still a simple task for him.

But now.

There was Mu Nanqing at the Divinity Transformation Stage and Shi Nian, who was able to kill the former Holy Daughter.

If it were in the Demon World, if it were the zenith of his power, he would undoubtedly leave both women behind without hesitation.

But not now.

This is the Human Realm, and his cultivation is not yet fully restored.

If a fight broke out and other cultivators were drawn here.

He feared he would perish in this place.

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable did not hesitate and turned to leave immediately.

"Senior Sister, let’s follow him."

Shi Nian pulled Mu Nanqing along, their pace neither hurried nor slow, yet just right to keep up with the Yin Yang Demon Venerable.

The face of the Yin Yang Demon Clan grew increasingly unpleasant as he hurried along.

Ahead, he happened to meet Yue Zhilan.

Unable to restrain herself, Yue Zhilan still decided to come and see the situation for herself.

Missing the Mu Family’s extermination, an event of such grandeur, she feared she would regret it for the rest of her life.

When the Yin Yang Demon Venerable asked later, she would just say she had come to find him.

Seeing the Yin Yang Demon Venerable, Yue Zhilan’s expression brightened, she opened her mouth to call out to him.

However, the expression on the Yin Yang Demon Venerable’s face darkened. Without time for explanation, he scooped up Yue Zhilan and fled in haste.

Yue Zhilan was somewhat bewildered: "What... what’s happening?"

Without uttering a word, the Yin Yang Demon Venerable merely continued to flee.

Yue Zhilan’s complexion changed subtly.

Isn’t this man the Demon Lord?

Isn’t he the supreme being of the Human Realm?

Why is he now fleeing like a dog that has lost its home?

But why?

The mighty Demon Lord, could it be that he is helpless against the Mu Family?

Yue Zhilan looked back in doubt, only to see two women leisurely following them.

One of them, Yue Zhilan is more than familiar with.

She couldn’t help but call out: "Mu Nanqing!"

This face!

This woman!

She would remember her even in death.

Mu Nanqing looked at her, her gaze calm, yet it carried a hint of unfamiliarity.

Yue Zhilan immediately clenched her teeth!

What does this woman mean?

She regards her as the arch-enemy of her life.

And her?

The way she looks at me, it’s like she’s looking at a stranger!

Am I not worth being remembered by her?

Things shouldn’t be like this!

It shouldn’t be Mu Nanqing looking at me with that look in her eyes, it should be me looking down on her from above!

That’s the way it should be!

Yue Zhilan couldn’t help but grab the Yin Yang Demon Venerable’s clothes, and asked uncontrollably: "Aren’t you the Demon Lord? Why are you afraid of those two women?"

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable furrowed his brows, but still explained: "I am injured and have not fully recovered yet, and using demonic qi here will alarm the masters of the Human Clan."

"A quick battle will not alarm anyone else," Yue Zhilan was obstinate.

She shouldn’t be in this state!

She was born to be superior to Mu Nanqing!

"Good girl, I will certainly help you take your revenge, but I really can’t today," the Yin Yang Demon Venerable whispered, quickening his pace slightly.

Shi Nian and Mu Nanqing seemed to finally be unable to catch up, stopping and no longer pursuing.

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable heaved a sigh of relief and flew into the Black Abyss Forest.

"It was not easy for us to leave this place, now we have to return?" Yue Zhilan couldn’t help but question.

"I used some spiritual energy today. My body feels a bit uncomfortable. Aren’t you knowledgeable in pharmacology? Help me gather some herbs to help me recuperate," the Yin Yang Demon Venerable said.

"You help me kill Mu Nanqing, then I can help you," Yue Zhilan said somewhat petulantly.

"Once I am healed, I will definitely kill her," the Yin Yang Demon Venerable reassured.

But.

Every time Yue Zhilan confronted Mu Nanqing, she lost all rationality. She continued stubbornly: "Kill her for me, and then I will help you! Otherwise, what use are you to me?"

The face of the Yin Yang Demon Venerable darkened involuntarily.

As the Demon Lord!

When has he ever been ordered about by someone else?

Furthermore, the one bossing him around was just a human woman!

Feeling slightly displeased, but seeing that Yue Zhilan was still somewhat useful, the Yin Yang Demon Venerable still said in a soft voice: "When my injury is a bit better, I will go and kill her."

"No," Yue Zhilan said: "I want you to do it now, right away, immediately! Kill her!"

Watching Yue Zhilan’s imperious demeanor, the face of the Yin Yang Demon Venerable grew increasingly grim.

At this moment, to say that he had feelings for Yue Zhilan, of course, he did.

But more because of the prophecy related to Shi Nian, he mainly saw Yue Zhilan as a useful tool to help him solve the issue of uncontrolled magic power.

To make Yue Zhilan devoted to him, he did not mind doing some things to please this woman.

But if she continues to be unreasonable...

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable’s expression turned cold: "To gather herbs, will you go or not?"

"I won’t go," Yue Zhilan said without hesitation.

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable lost his patience, and with an outstretched hand, he grasped Yue Zhilan’s throat: "I’ll ask you one more time, will you go or not!"

Yue Zhilan’s eyes widened, and a flicker of fear involuntarily flashed in her pupils.

She didn’t understand...

Why...

It’s like this again!

Whether it was Li Nanfeng or the Yin Yang Demon Venerable, they should be utterly devoted to her, at her beck and call.

But the outcome.

Li Nanfeng wanted to kill her!

The Yin Yang Demon Venerable too wanted to kill her!

Things shouldn’t be like this!
