I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 302 The Empress's House Was Raided? (×) The Empress Raided Her House! (√)

bump--

The heart ruptured, and blood splattered everywhere.

The guard, whose chest had been pierced, swayed and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

A shadowy figure emerged from beneath the feet of another guard, burrowing into his body through the wound on his chest. In no time, the man, who had been lifeless, stood up again.

His eyes were vacant, and his movements were wooden, like a marionette.

The two arrived at the stone gate, placed their palms on the center of the magic circle, and a flash of light appeared as the heavy doors slowly opened to both sides.

Step, step, step——

A moment later, slow footsteps echoed through the narrow passageway.

The dim candlelight illuminated Chu Heng's pale face, his eyes gleaming with a faint bloodshot light.

"Fortunately, I had Mr. Duan make preparations in advance. It seems everything is going as I expected. I should take advantage of the chaos and leave this place as soon as possible." He muttered to himself, not knowing who he was talking to.

"What's going on outside? The tremors are so strong!"

"Could it be that a foreign enemy is invading?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the capital, right under the emperor's nose. Who would dare to cause trouble here?"

On the upper level of the dungeon, several jailers were discussing amongst themselves, and they could still feel the aftershocks under their feet from time to time, with dust falling down along the cracks in the bricks.

However, the imperial prison is reinforced with layers of arrays, so there is no need to worry about it collapsing.

Yu Dian frowned, feeling a vague unease as he recalled what Chen Mo had said that day.

"Stop chatting here and perk up."

"I'll go down and take a look. You guys keep a close watch here. If anything seems amiss, alert us immediately."

The prison warden gave the order and then turned and walked towards the stairwell.

"Yes."

The people verbally agreed, but they didn't really take it seriously.

With such tight security, not even a fly could get in. What could possibly go wrong?
Just as Yu Dian reached the end of the corridor, he bumped into two tall figures and was taken aback. "Why are you up here? Has something happened?"

Unless there is a major unforeseen event, the guards of the Black Prison will never abandon their posts.

The two remained silent and walked straight over.

Noticing the penetrating wound in one of the men's chests, Yu Dian's pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints. He stepped back, shouting, "Enemy..."

Before the word "attack" could be uttered, a dazzling sword light flashed, and blood poured out like rain!

A deep, bone-revealing wound nearly severed Yu Dian in two!
He slid slowly against the wall, and as his blood drained away, his vision began to blur. Looking up, he could vaguely see Chu Heng following behind the two guards, walking towards the interior of the prison area.

"Just as Lord Chen predicted..."

"Something really happened..."

He trembled as he pulled the jade pendant from his pocket, crushed it with his last bit of strength, and then completely lost consciousness.

"who!"

"Sir, are you okay?"

Hearing the commotion, the jailers rushed over.

Upon seeing this, he was immediately horrified.

Chu Heng's lips curled into a sinister smile, and he said in a chilling tone, "You like to torture me, don't you? Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

The armored guards responded and strode forward, dragging their greatswords.

"kill!"

Those who could become jailers in the imperial prison were naturally not weaklings.

But these two guards felt no pain, were tireless, and were wearing heavy armor. Even when swords and blades struck them, they could only leave a white mark. They couldn't be dealt with in a short time.

The giant swords in their hands whistled through the air, and each swing brought up large chunks of flesh and limbs, making them look like human meat grinders!
In no time at all, the prison guards suffered heavy casualties!
"Die!"

A jailer leaped up, his longsword flashing in an arc, precisely slicing into the gap in the iron-clad guard's neck and severing his head!

Before she could even catch her breath, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

The headless guard did not fall; instead, he stabbed the headless guard in the abdomen with a backhand stroke.

"how is this possible?"

The jailer's eyes held a mixture of bewilderment and disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, the greatsword slashed upwards, cleaving him in two!

In just a quarter of an hour, all the jailers collapsed, and the air was filled with a strong stench of blood.

The two armored guards were also exhausted to the limit, and they collapsed to their knees, completely silent.

Chu Heng walked through the corpses and came to Yu Dian's side. He squatted down and carefully felt around, finding a set of keys.

Then open all the cell doors.

The prisoners inside were somewhat confused. They peered out and saw the scene of blood flowing like a river in the corridor, and they all froze in place.

"What's happening here?!"

wow-

Chu Heng tossed the keys in front of them and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you've regained your freedom."

?

free?

Everyone looked at each other.

After realizing what was happening, her breathing gradually became rapid.

They were all hardened criminals who never expected to leave the imperial prison alive. They were constantly hungry and never knew when they would be executed. They never thought they would be able to leave this godforsaken place one day!
Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, we'll give it our all, no matter what!
They picked up the keys, unlocked their shackles, and rushed toward the exit!

"Don't squeeze!"

"Let me go first!"

Chu Heng wore a mocking smile as he disappeared into the shadows, following silently behind.

The men at the front had barely reached the ground and hadn't even had a chance to breathe in the fresh air when they heard a piercing sound as they were riddled with arrows that seemed to have come from nowhere.

"Raise the beacon to warn everyone!"

"Prisoners who escape will be killed on the spot!"

Upon noticing the disturbance, the constables rushed over, their swords swiftly reaping the lives of the prisoners.

According to the regulations for guarding the imperial prison, in any case of escape, regardless of the reason, execution can be carried out first and the report can be given later!
For a time, cries of agony filled the air.

In the chaos, no one noticed that a shadowy figure had slipped away from the prison, clinging to the wall.

On the day of the grand ceremony, unrest broke out in the capital. The Tianlin Guard activated emergency measures, and officials from various departments rushed to the palace to protect the emperor.

The training ground was now empty, and Chu Heng's figure was revealed.

He did not leave immediately, but turned and walked towards the Fire Office.

Upon arriving at the yamen, he looked around and saw the black cat locked in a cage, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

"It's just an ordinary kitten, nothing special about it..."

"okay, I get it."

Chu Heng muttered to himself as he stepped forward and opened the cage door.

The black cat sensed the movement, groggily opened its eyes, and upon seeing Chu Heng, its gaze faltered slightly, filled with a sense of bewilderment and confusion.

"Meow?"

"follow me."

Chu Heng waved.

The cat seemed to have its body out of control, and got up and followed behind.

Stepping out of the Tianlin Guard's gate, chaos reigned outside, with people scattered and the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

"It seems that the power of this Blazing Powder is greater than I thought."

Chu Heng's eyes turned cold as he walked into a nearby alley.

A black sedan chair was parked deep in the alley, and an old man stood to the side with his hands at his sides. He was Duan Zhongmou, the steward of the royal palace who had been "killed" by Chu Yanli earlier.

Upon seeing Chu Heng, he quickly approached him.

"Your Highness, you have suffered so much..."

"There's no need for such words. How did things go?" Chu Heng asked in a deep voice.

Duan Zhongmou replied, "Chu Yanli and the Crown Prince are trapped in the temple and won't be back for a while. Lian Jianfeng has already gone to the Jiaofangsi to arrest people; his targets are Yu'er and Liu Miaozhi." Chu Heng then asked, "What about the Zhenmosi?"

Duan Zhongmou said, "Part of the formation was destroyed, and its function of detecting demonic energy is temporarily disabled. Yuan Junfeng is personally leading people to repair it, but Ling Yishan has not made any move."

Chu Heng shook his head and said, "It's alright. That person told me that he was prepared for this. That old man can't cause any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhongmou's expression turned serious.

Since that being has said so, it must be a sure thing.

"Wu Lie may have realized something is wrong. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave the capital first and discuss other matters later."

Chu Heng stepped onto the sedan chair, and the cat jumped up after him.

"Yes."

Duan Zhongmou responded.

The black sedan chair took off and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

……

……

Eastern Suburbs, Demon Suppression Division.

A burly figure wearing a hoodie slowly walked into the courtyard.

The guard who remained saw this person and frowned, saying, "Halt! Who are you?"

The burly man remained silent, a faint "T" shaped light gleaming in the shadows, as he reached out and lifted his shirt.

Upon seeing the scene before him, the offering froze on the spot.

Beneath the robes, there was no flesh, but a dense swarm of black beetles!
A series of red lights appeared, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be countless scarlet single eyes, sending chills down one's spine!

"Demon—"

The worshipper looked horrified and was about to shout.

With a piercing buzzing sound, the beetle flapped its wings and swept towards him like a black storm!

Wherever it went, the blue bricks eroded and the flowers and plants withered!
Just as the elder was about to be overwhelmed by the swarm of insects, an aged voice rang out:
"It finally came."

call--

The wind suddenly picked up.

A hunched figure appeared out of nowhere and blocked the way in front of the offering.

Reaching out and lightly touching the void, an invisible wave rippled outwards, as if a pause button had been pressed, freezing all the flying insects in place.

"Just you alone?" Ling Yishan raised an eyebrow slightly, displeased. "Isn't that a bit too disrespectful?"

"I am enough."

The hooded man's voice was extremely eerie, as if countless voices were overlapping, "A supreme being on the verge of death, can he still be considered a supreme being?"

The beetle's single eye shone brightly, shooting out beams of red light that intertwined in the air to form a giant eye that looked down at Lingyi Mountain with a gaze that was both cold and compassionate, as if it could see through all things in the world.

Ling Yishan's expression became slightly more serious.

Aside from facing Yu Youhan and Ji Hongxiu, this was the third time he had felt such immense pressure!

"Hand over the formation diagram, live, resist, die," the hooded man said in a deep voice.

"Tch, quite the boast, trying to kill me?"

Ling Yishan slowly straightened his hunched figure, his coarse linen clothes fluttering even without wind, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, "Try it if you dare?"

……

……

Temples and shrines in the southern suburbs.

As the crimson smoke dissipated, the military officers' cultivation levels gradually recovered.

In addition to the heavy casualties among the Imperial Guards, with hundreds of soldiers killed, more than a dozen court officials also perished, including many high-ranking officials of the second or third rank. Most of the others were also injured.

It is foreseeable that even if the crisis is weathered safely, the political situation will inevitably undergo a major reshuffle!

The situation will be vastly different from what it was in the past!
Chen Mo's mind wasn't on that. He quickly approached Eunuch Jin and said urgently, "Eunuch, we can't delay any longer. I must return to the capital immediately!"

Eunuch Jin naturally knew the reason. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Did you get your hands on the magical artifact used by the demon race just now?"

"At this."

Chen Mo handed him the black pointed cone.

Jin Gonggong weighed it in his hand for a moment and muttered, "Black iron forged from lightning-struck wood? It's not exactly rare, but it's specifically designed to counter Yin Sha formations. The demon race really came prepared..."

He poured his true energy into the pointed cone, and then slashed it sharply into the void.

stab-

With a sound like brocade being torn, a huge gap was cut into the translucent barrier.

Warm sunlight streamed in, illuminating the broken walls and ruins, giving everyone a sense of being in another world.

Eunuch Jin returned the awl to Chen Mo and nodded, saying, "Lord Chen, please go ahead. Leave this to me, and I guarantee Her Majesty the Empress and your father will be safe and sound."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Chen Mo cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Fearing the Empress would stop him, he dared not say much to her. With a flash of lightning, he soared into the sky and disappeared.

Watching the departing streak of light, the Empress frowned, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.

Eunuch Jin said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the capital may not be safe now. We are less than ten miles away from the garrison camp in the capital region. We can go there to take refuge for the time being."

"Alright."

The Queen nodded.

Even if you're very worried, you must prioritize the bigger picture at times like these.

"Li'er, why don't you come with us?"

"No."

Chu Yanli shook her head, her face as cold as frost, but her eyes seemed to burn with fire. "I have more important things to do, and I can't wait a moment longer."

the other side.

Chen Mo flew towards Kyoto.

Through the billowing smoke, the chaotic scene could be seen from afar.

The situation was more serious than he had imagined. The area from Prince Yu's Mansion to the South Gate was almost completely destroyed. Streets collapsed, houses crumbled, and shrill cries echoed in the air.

The scene was devastated, like a living hell.

Chen Mo clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his neck, and his speed increased even further.

"Chu Heng!!"

However, besides his anger, he also had some doubts: despite making such a commotion, the Empress had not yet shown up...

"Our house is about to be robbed! Where is the Empress?!"

……

……

The northern border, a desolate wasteland.

The red mountain range stretches endlessly, and when viewed from above, it looks like an ugly scar on the vast earth.

On the tower, the wolf demon guarding the pass was lazily yawning when suddenly, an instinctive fear made him shudder, and every hair on his body stood on end.

? !
Looking up, his pupils suddenly dilated.

At some point, the vast sea of ​​clouds was tinged with a bluish-green color, resembling a boundless ocean.

pat-

Raindrops fell, landing on my head.

It actually pierced through his skull!
The wolf demon's expression froze, his blank eyes reflecting a purple figure.

The woman stood with her hands behind her back, her skirt swaying, and behind her, a blue wave poured down from the sky, instantly engulfing the entire mountain range!
Wherever the blue tide touched, all living things and plants were annihilated and returned to nothingness!
Without any warning or time to react, thousands of demons, along with nearly a hundred miles of mountain range, were wiped out! Leaving only a dark void on the ground!

Yu Youhan slowly stepped into the air and walked forward.

Gazing at the towering peak in the distance, his eyes were filled with indifference.

"The restorer of the demon race?"

"If you had remained dormant for another ten years, the demon race might have had the strength to make a comeback... Unfortunately, targeting Chen Mo was the worst decision you ever made."

"Let the lives of tens of millions of your own kind pay for your mistakes."
