Yang Kai’s arrogant attitude stunned Snow Demon for a moment, as if she hadn’t expected him to not even put Yu Rumeng in his eyes. Her beautiful eyes carefully observed Yang Kai for a moment before revealing a look of shock, “She really is willing to spend so much capital on you.”
These words confused Yang Kai, but before he could investigate further, Xiao Wu had already stumbled into the room. Li Shiqing, who lived next door, had also heard the commotion and rushed over to take a look.
However, seeing Yang Kai’s naked body, Li Shiqing quickly covered her eyes and turned around.
* Crash *
Two rows of soldiers also rushed in from the outside, with Lao Ke in the lead, filling up the entire room. Although Yang Kai had only fought with this Snow Demon for a short time, the commotion he had caused was not small. If Lao Ke couldn’t even notice it, it would be too disrespectful. After all, he was the City Palace’s Commander.
“Great King, what happened?” Lao Ke asked in surprise.
Yang Kai immediately cursed, “A bunch of trash! Someone snuck into my room and you don’t even know? What use does this King have for you?” Even if Snow Demon was a Half-Saint and Lao Ke wasn’t her opponent, allowing her to break into his room was a big mistake. At the very least, he should have noticed.
Only then did Lao Ke see a silver-haired woman with an enchanting figure in the room, and a thin layer of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead as he cupped his hands and said, “Great King, please calm your anger!” When he raised his head again, his eyes that were staring at Snow Demon's back were filled with rage.
Yang Kai waved his hand impatiently, “What are you waiting for? Capture her!”
He hadn’t been able to test this woman’s strength just now, but now he could use Lao Ke to probe her.
Lao Ke immediately accepted the order, suppressing his anger as he circulated his Demonic Qi and sent a palm strike towards Snow Demon's shoulder, transforming his palm into a claw halfway, obviously wanting to capture her first.
This claw was filled with rage, but it was also quite powerful. Although Lao Ke was old, he was still a High-Rank Demon King.
Snow Demon, on the other hand, didn’t seem to notice this and simply stood there calmly, slowly turning her body to the side as she glanced at Lao Ke with her beautiful eyes, a faint smile appearing on her face as she quietly watched him.
As their eyes met, Lao Ke’s pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle, and the aura of a High-Rank Demon King instantly disappeared like a snowflake under a blazing sun. His hand suddenly stopped less than three inches away from Snow Demon's slender shoulder, causing a strong wind to blow across Snow Demon's beautiful hair, causing it to flutter.
Time seemed to freeze.
The sweat on Lao Ke’s forehead became even denser, condensing into bean-sized beads of sweat that rolled down his cheeks, his body trembling uncontrollably…
Xiao Wu also couldn’t help covering her mouth as she stared at Snow Demon's profile in shock.
Seeing this, Yang Kai frowned, looked at Xiao Wu, and then looked at Lao Ke, suddenly feeling that things had become somewhat complicated. He clearly saw fear in Lao Ke’s eyes…
Lao Ke recognized this woman? What kind of background did she have to be able to make a High-Rank Demon King feel fear? Was she really a Half-Saint like he had guessed?
While he was still in shock, Lao Ke quickly withdrew his hand and knelt down on one knee, his head lowered as he said in a trembling voice, “Lao Ke greets the Saint Venerable!”
All of a sudden, the Demon Race soldiers who had been standing in line and glaring at the Snow Demon also fell to their knees.
Yang Kai’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at the Snow Demon in disbelief.
Saint Venerable? Lao Ke’s address of this woman just now was naturally heard clearly by him. In the entire Demon Territory, only the twelve Saints who stood at the pinnacle had the title of Saint Venerable, and none of the Half Saint had the qualifications to receive such a title.
This woman was actually a Demon Saint?
Yang Kai instantly broke out in cold sweat. This was bad!
Originally, he had thought that this person was only a Half-Saint, with his current strength and the power of his Embodiment, he was able to easily occupy the Cloud Shadow. Half-Saint cultivators didn’t need to be feared, but if this person was a Demon Saint, the situation would be completely different.
Even with Cloud Shadow’s advantage, even if his Embodiment was the master of Cloud Shadow, the two of them wouldn’t be able to easily defeat her.
Yang Kai couldn’t help cursing in his heart. Since she was a Demon Saint, why did she have to pretend to be a maidservant and sneak in here? No wonder Lao Ke and the others hadn’t discovered anything. If a Demon Saint had entered this place, how could they have discovered her?
But no matter what, this matter was likely going to be quite difficult to resolve. Yang Kai didn’t know why this Demon Saint had come to Cloud Shadow, but it was obvious she was here for him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have quietly approached him. Fortunately, he had the Soul Warming Lotus, otherwise he would have fallen into her trap.
The situation was quite worrisome. After Lao Ke called out the Saint Venerable's name, Yang Kai’s eyes flickered as he searched for an escape route.
At this moment, Yang Kai had already made up his mind, immediately activating his Space Laws to escape from this place. No matter what kind of intentions she had, a Demon Saint was not someone he could resist right now. If he were to fall into the hands of this Demon Saint, even if he wanted to die, it would only be a vain hope.
She wasn’t like Yu Rumeng. Yu Rumeng had the Heart Seal Secret Technique to restrain her, so no matter how he treated her, Yu Rumeng wouldn’t really do anything to him. This woman’s mental state was somewhat abnormal, who knew if she had prepared any torture for him.
However, just as he activated his Space Laws, Snow Demon suddenly turned around and asked with a smile, “Where do you want to go?”
Saying so, she gently raised her hand and flicked her finger in Yang Kai’s direction.
Heaven and Earth were sealed and the Laws shattered, and Yang Kai, whose figure had just begun to drift, was suddenly pulled back from the void. With a loud bang, he felt a sharp pain on his forehead, and in an instant, his vision went blurry as he was sent flying backwards, crashing into a wall and falling to the ground.
When Yang Kai got up again, he grimaced and reached out to touch his forehead, only to find a large bump…
Looking up, he saw Snow Demon smiling at him with a mischievous look on her face as she walked towards him.
Yang Kai quickly raised his hand, “If there’s something you want to say, just say it. We gentlemen don’t resort to violence, okay?”
Snow Demon's smile was beautiful and enchanting, but Yang Kai felt that this smile was more sinister than anything he had ever seen before, causing him to smile bitterly in his heart. This was truly a bad time. He had been perfectly fine in the city’s palace, but now a Demon Saint had come knocking on his door.
Right now, the only one who could save him was Yu Rumeng, but Yu Rumeng was still on the Phantom Continent, hundreds of millions of kilometers away. When she received the news, even her bones would be cold.
“Acting verbally but not physically?” Snow Demon pursed her lips into a smile, causing her red lips to become even more lustrous, “You really are a gentleman, did you enjoy your scolding just now?” Saying so, her voice became a bit cold. That ‘lowly maid’ really made her angry. She was one of the twelve Demon Saints, when had she ever been insulted like this?
Even Yu Rumeng had to be pestered by him, let alone a stranger.
Yang Kai said solemnly, “What happened just now was just a misunderstanding, I hope Saint Venerable will not take it to heart. In other words, if someone were to suddenly enter while Saint Venerable were bathing, how would the Saint Venerable react?”
Lao Ke, who was half-kneeling on the ground, heard these words and his back immediately became wet with sweat. He thought to himself, This Great King really dares to say this. This Saint Venerable is a woman, yet he actually dares to bring out such topic in front of her…
Snow Demon indifferently replied, “Naturally, after killing him and extracting his Soul, he will suffer eternal torment, but how can you compare to this Senior? Rest assured, this Senior will not kill you, at most I will rip your tongue off.”
Yang Kai bared his teeth and saw that not only did the other party’s momentum not decrease, but it was instead steadily rising. He knew that today’s matter was not going to end peacefully, so he immediately became angry, “Although this King’s strength is inferior to yours, even if the Saint wants to tear off my tongue, I’m afraid she won’t be able to do so easily. If the Saint insists on doing so, this King can only fight to the death.” Holding the Million Sword in front of him, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became calm.
Snow Demon giggled, “Now that’s interesting. If you don’t resist, this Senior won’t be able to enjoy herself.”
'F*ck your mother!' Yang Kai cursed in his heart. Today’s incident was purely an undeserved catastrophe. If it weren’t for the other party sneaking into this place, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble. Seeing this woman slowly approaching him, Yang Kai quickly calmed down and didn’t dare to lower his guard.
Heaven and earth rumbled, and everyone in the room felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on their chests, making it difficult for them to breathe. The Demon Chief Commander and Demon Commander with lower cultivations even had blood dripping from their ears and noses, making them look extremely miserable.
Ten steps, five steps, three steps…
Seeing Snow Demon and Yang Kai getting closer, the Demon Saint’s Might also reached its peak. Suddenly, a sigh came from behind, “Bei Limo, have you had enough?”
As soon as these words came out, Snow Demon, who was almost in front of Yang Kai, finally stopped and turned her head back, smiling lightly, “Have you finally shown yourself? Are you afraid I’ll really pull your man’s tongue?”
The voice coldly said, “You can try.”
Yang Kai revealed a look of surprise as he looked through the gap of the Snow Demon and found that the person who had just spoken was none other than Xiao Wu, who had followed him from Phantom Continent to Cloud Shadow.
However, at this moment, Xiao Wu, the maidservant who had previously obeyed Yang Kai’s orders, suddenly had a drastic change in temperament. Although her face was covered in scars, a terrifying aura surged out from her body, causing her to become incomparably dignified. Her eyes were filled with anger, as if she was standing atop the clouds, overlooking all living things.
Yu Rumeng?
At this moment, the aura Xiao Wu was emitting was none other than Yu Rumeng’s aura. Yang Kai’s mind flashed as he immediately realized what was happening.
Soul Descent!
Back then, he had encountered this kind of situation when he was with the guard beside Yao Lin. After breaking through the seal of space, a wisp of Soul from Great Emperor Serene Soul descended. At this moment, Xiao Wu’s situation was exactly the same as the guard beside Yao Lin. Obviously, a wisp of Yu Rumeng’s Soul had landed on her body.
