I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 303 The Demon Lord Makes His Debut! What a huge vehicle!

Chen Mo flew swiftly towards Tiandu City, holding a communication jade in his hand, which was flashing a dazzling red light—a signal from the Imperial Prison.

"It really happened!"

His face darkened, and his speed increased again. He swept across the sky like lightning and arrived at the city gate in no time.

The gate was already closed. As soon as Chen Mo landed, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers in full armor, their weapons gleaming coldly.

"Who is coming?"

A sergeant asked sternly, his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, his expression full of vigilance, and one could even faintly hear the sound of bowstrings being taut on the city wall.

The city is in complete chaos. Since the demon race was suppressed by the Three Saints, there has never been such a mess!

The atmosphere was extremely tense, and any slight movement could trigger a violent conflict!

Just then, someone shouted:
"stop!"

Chen Mo looked up and saw a figure flying down from the city wall.

He looked somewhat familiar; it was Yu Yu, the deputy envoy of the Military Affairs Bureau, whom he had met several times before.

"This is Lord Chen Mo, Deputy Commander of the Tianlin Guard and concurrently Imperial Guard Commander!"

"Why aren't you putting your weapons away right now?!"

Yu Yu said in a deep voice.

Everyone had naturally heard of this name, and they all sheathed their swords, but they remained vigilant.

Yu Yu approached Chen Mo and said in a low voice, "Lord Chen, the city is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter."

Chen Mo frowned and said, "Even an imperial gold medal won't work?"

Yu Yu shook his head and said, "This is a strict order from above, and we dare not disobey it."

The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard.

Besides the heavy casualties among the civilians, part of the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Formation was also destroyed, causing the function of detecting demonic energy to temporarily fail. Moreover, the demon race is extremely good at disguising themselves, making it almost impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye.

At this critical juncture, if we were to let a few demons in, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Therefore, the Five Cities Garrison immediately closed the city gates, blocked the ferry crossings, and cut off all post roads, waiting for the garrison troops of the capital region to come to their aid.

No one may enter or leave Kyoto until the situation is completely stabilized.

Chen Mo frowned even more deeply.

This was a situation he hadn't anticipated. Martial law was a legitimate measure; he couldn't simply force his way in.

"and many more……"

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he asked with some doubt, "If I remember correctly, you should be from the East City Garrison, right? Why aren't you guarding the East Gate? Why have you come to the south instead?"

Yu Yu hesitated slightly, looked around, and transmitted his voice, "It's Lord Lin's arrangement. He said that it's enough for him to guard the East Gate, and he wants me to take men to support the other city gates..."

"Lord Lin?"

Chen Mo recalled that when he went to Prince Yu's mansion to arrest people, he had a conflict with Lin Junxian, the commander of the East City Military Command.

This person is none other than a loyal follower of Prince Yu's mansion!

"not good!"

"Chu Heng has most likely already left the city!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Mo rose from the ground and vanished in a flash of light.

Yu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead. In fact, he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but he dared not disobey his superiors' orders, and he was also afraid of getting into trouble and losing his life.

Now that Chen Mo is back, with someone taking the lead, there's naturally no need to worry too much.

"Men, come with me back to the east city to set up defenses!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison.

Chen Mo flew eastward at full speed, carefully scanning every inch of land with his divine sense, but he did not find Lin Junxian and Chu Heng.

"Continuing to search like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack..."

"Damn it, are we just going to let him get away like this?"

Just then, he sensed a fluctuation and took out a cyan spirit jade from his pocket.

"Huh? This is..."

……

……

In the dense forest.

A black sedan chair hovered low in the air, moving silently.

Lin Junxian and Duan Zhongmou followed behind on horseback, only slowing down when they were hundreds of miles away from the capital.

"Mr. Duan, what exactly is going on?!"

Lin Junxian looked flustered and said in a hoarse voice, "You only told me to open the city gates on the day of the grand ceremony to cover His Highness's departure from the city, but you didn't say it would cause such a commotion!"

Several blocks in the southern part of the city were destroyed by bombing, countless houses collapsed, and the number of dead and injured was incalculable!

And Chu Heng suddenly left the city at this time; even with his eyes closed, he could figure out who was behind it!
This is a heinous crime of treason, punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family!

He only wanted to use the power of the Prince's Mansion to advance his career, but he inexplicably became an accomplice! He went directly from the high-ranking Commander of the Military Command to a serious criminal suspected of treason!

"Isn't it a bit too late for Lord Lin to say all this now?" Duan Zhongmou glanced at him and said indifferently, "Do you think you can turn back now?"

Lin Junxian clenched his fists, his eyes darkening, but he knew the other party was telling the truth.

There's no going back now.

He took a deep breath to calm himself and said, "So where do we go now? Kyushu definitely won't accept us. How about we go south and seek refuge with the barbarians? With Your Highness's status, they should be more than happy to take us in..."

puff-

The words stopped abruptly.

Lin Junxian's expression stiffened as he slowly looked down.

A wrinkled, old hand pierced through his chest.

"Mr. Duan?"

Lin Junxian was somewhat incredulous.

"You're a good dog, just not very bright."

Duan Zhongmou tossed him away as if he were trash, and the black flames engulfed his body while he was still in mid-air, turning his soul and body into ashes.

Without even glancing at it, he turned and left, continuing on his way.

Half an hour later.

The black sedan slowly came to a stop in a mountain valley.

Duan Zhongmou fired a whistling arrow into the air, but there was no response after a long wait.

"Strange, Lian Jianfeng should have left the city before us, so why hasn't he arrived at the agreed location yet?"

"And the Demon Suppression Division is also slow to act."

Duan Zhongmou frowned, a bad feeling creeping over him.

Chu Heng's voice came from inside the sedan chair: "Could something have gone wrong?"

Duan Zhongmou shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Commander Lian is a third-rank martial arts master, so dealing with a few ordinary people is more than enough for him... It's probably because the city is too chaotic and he can't get away for a while. Let's wait here for a bit."

Lian Jianfeng was originally the commander of the guards in the Prince's mansion. After the last incident, he went into hiding and secretly worked for the Prince.

He was also involved in placing burning powder at shrines and below Kyoto. If exposed, he would only face death, so there was no need to worry about him turning against them halfway.

click-

Just then, the sound of a branch breaking came from the woods.

"Who?!"

Duan Zhongmou turned around abruptly and saw a woman slowly walking towards him from the depths of the dense forest.

She wore a black gauze and red silk robe, with a dark gold scale patterned belt around her waist, her curves were shapely and alluring, like a ripe peach.

Half of her face was covered by a golden mask, revealing a clear jawline, scarlet lips, and a pair of dark purple eyes that looked like two eerie flames, watching him with great interest.

Duan Zhongmou looked solemn.

The two were only a few feet apart, yet he hadn't noticed them at all, which showed that his opponent was exceptionally strong!

Duan Zhongmou stood in front of the black sedan chair and said, "We just happened to be passing by. If we have disturbed you, please forgive us."

"You sent people to kill me, and you don't even know who I am?" Ji Lianxing threw something over, which rolled to his feet. "Could you send a few decent people? This guy is really too weak."

Duan Zhongmou looked down and his pupils contracted slightly. He saw that it was Lian Jianfeng's head!

No wonder he was so late, he was dead?
The fact that she could kill a third-grade Grandmaster means that this woman's cultivation level is at least second-grade or higher. When did the capital city acquire such a powerful expert?!

Moreover, it seems they have a close relationship with the Xu family!
"Your Highness, you go first, this old servant will cover the rear!" Realizing the situation was not right, Duan Zhongmou shouted loudly.

With a wave of his hand, he pushed the black sedan chair away. At the same time, a huge handprint appeared in the void and slammed down towards Ji Lianxing!

"After being cooped up for so many days, my bones are practically rusting. It's so rare to have a chance to move around."

"Don't let me down!"

Excitement flashed in Ji Lianxing's eyes.

A jade-green light shone from between its brows, and the enormous hand froze in mid-air, crumbling like quicksand with every breath.

As the ancient bronze scroll unfurled, several chains appeared in the void, binding Duan Zhongmou tightly. The pages turned, and countless characters leaped out, transforming into a barrage of sharp blades that shot towards the heavens!

At the critical moment, black runes appeared on Duan Zhongmou's neck, moving like a living tattoo. His aura rose steadily, and he forcefully broke free of his restraints, his figure disappearing from sight.

Boom boom boom——

The ground trembled, and smoke and dust filled the sky.

Under the cleansing power of the runic blades, the vegetation and rocks turned to ashes, leaving behind a huge crater spanning several miles in circumference!
call--

A flash of light, and Duan Zhongmou suddenly appeared behind her.

He took a deep breath, his chest bulged, and an invisible current surged back, briefly creating a vacuum in the air. "Die!"

The next moment, he suddenly exhaled.

A deep black wave of flame surged from its mouth, completely engulfing the graceful figure!
He was already a second-grade magic cultivator, and with the rare item "Undying Molt" bestowed by Prince Yu, his strength was already infinitely close to that of a first-grade cultivator. Even so, he still felt a strong sense of unease when facing this woman whose origins were unknown.

"Judging from this supernatural power, it seems to be a technique of the Moon Radiance Sect?"

"But wasn't this Qingzhou sect wiped out long ago? How could it be related to the Xu family?"

Step, step, step——

Light footsteps echoed amidst the raging flames.

Ji Lianxing stepped out of the black flames, her body radiating a blue light, and not even the hem of her clothes was damaged.

"There are two brushes, but the brushes have no bristles."

"If that's all there is to it, you can die in peace."

Ji Lianxing looked slightly bored. A page fell out of the ancient bronze scroll, swelled in the wind, and transformed into a dark cloud that stretched for dozens of feet, covering the sky above her head.

Duan Zhongmou stood frozen in place, feeling his vital energy rapidly draining away.

chap——

The pages of the book caught fire, and the seal script on them lit up one by one.

With each character that lit up, Duan Zhongmou's figure hunched over a little more.

Accompanied by the groans of his bones, his spine snapped like a withered branch, the broken bone fragments piercing his skin and leaving it a bloody mess, his entire body bent at an eerie angle!
"First-class..."

"You are Ji Lianxing..."

Duan Zhongmou stared at her in disbelief, his eyes bloodshot.

Looking across the entire land, there are no more than a handful of cultivators who can reach this level, and among them, only one is a woman, namely Ji Lianxing, the sect leader of the Moon Radiance Sect, known as "Azure Fiend"!

Ji Lianxing remained noncommittal and walked closer with her hands behind her back.

"If I remember correctly, you should have a grudge against Chen Mo, right?"

"He owes me a favor this time. If I kill you, it will be worth at least 30,000 taels of silver."

Hearing her mutter to herself, Duan Zhongmou swallowed hard and hurriedly said, "You want money, right? I can give you that, I'll give you 100,000 taels! As long as you let us leave!"

Ji Lianxing frowned and said, "Trying to bribe me? What do you take me for? I'm very much a man of my word..."

"Two hundred thousand taels!"

"Heh, do you think I've never seen money before?"

"Fifty...no, one million taels!"

"make a deal!"

Ji Lianxing's eyes sparkled as she extended her delicate hand, "Cash or banknotes?"

"..."

Duan Zhongmou's lips twitched.

He acted in a moment of panic; who would carry a million taels of silver notes with them?

“I don’t have that much on hand right now, but don’t worry, this amount of silver is nothing to the Prince Yu’s mansion… We have properties all over the country, and we also have connections in the canal transport, salt and iron industries. As long as you’re willing to let us leave, a mere million taels is no problem at all…”

"After all that talk, it turns out you were just making empty promises?"

"The heir apparent is already a fugitive, so the royal family's properties will naturally be confiscated by the imperial court. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Ji Lianxing pursed her lips and muttered, "I thought I could finally escape poverty and become rich, but it turns out it was all for nothing... Fine, then you might as well just die."

"and many more……"

Duan Zhongmou exclaimed in surprise, but Ji Lianxing did not give him another chance.

boom--

As the seal script character for "town" lit up, it slowly rotated, like a grinding wheel of flesh and blood, crushing his body inch by inch, turning it into a pool of indistinguishable, viscous minced meat.

"Now that one's solved, it's your turn."

Ji Lianxing flashed to the front of the black sedan chair and pushed open the door.

Inside, a black cat lay trembling, its heterochromatic eyes filled with terror.

Chu Heng sat in the chair with his head down, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Did she faint from fright?"

Ji Lianxing stroked her chin with her fingers and pondered, "Chen Mo hasn't said whether he wants to live or die. Let him decide for himself. The signal has been sent out for a while now, he should have received it by now, right?"

"Oh, just in time, he's here..."

Swah——

A flash of lightning, and Chen Mo landed on the ground.

Looking at the mess around him, he was stunned for a moment.

He came following the fluctuations of the Azure Jade, but he didn't expect it to be over as soon as he arrived.

Seeing Ji Lianxing standing to the side, he quickly walked over and asked, "What are you doing here? Where is Chu Heng?"

Seeing this jerk again, Ji Lianxing couldn't help but recall the time he used her to clean his gun. A blush rose to her cheeks as she suppressed the urge to smash his head in and said:
“A third-rank Grandmaster came to the Jiaofangsi to arrest people, wanting to take Yu’er and Liu Miaozhi away, but I killed him.”

"Following the beacon he carried, we tracked him all the way out of the city and arrived here... The old man is dead, and Chu Heng is right here. Do with him as you see fit."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chu Heng unconscious in the sedan chair, and nodded, saying, "Sect Leader Ji, thanks to you, otherwise he really would have gotten away."

Ji Lianxing turned her head away and sneered, "You're Sect Leader Ji when you need me, but Paper Flying Princess when you don't. You're really pragmatic... Do you know how long I spent washing up? It smelled awful!"

"..."

Chen Mo felt a little embarrassed when the topic came up.

But it's too late to say anything now that it's already been wiped off; the most important thing right now is to focus on the present.

Just as he drew his jade-sharded knife, preparing to chop Chu Heng up, he heard a strange sound coming from Chu Heng's mouth.

One voice was the original, while the other was slightly feminine, as if two people were having a conversation.

"...You promised me that as long as I let your soul possess your body, you would help me kill Chen Mo! Now he's right in front of you, why don't you make your move?"

"Because I was lying to you."

"W-what did you say?!"

"I only wanted to use you to lure Chen Mo out; I never intended to kill him."

"You are the Demon Lord! How can you break your promise?!"

"Who says a demon lord can't lie? Lies are the cornerstone of civilization, a symbol that distinguishes us from barbarism, so I love to tell little lies."

"..."

"Alright, now for the most important part, are you ready?"

"what to prepare?"

"Go to hell."

"?!"

Chu Heng's body was lifted into the air, as if he were being grabbed by an invisible hand.

Amidst the piercing screams of agony, it was brutally torn apart from the middle!
He couldn't understand it even in the end. Everything had gone according to plan, the formation had exploded, and Chen Mo had taken the bait, so why was he the one who died?!

The invisible hand, dipped in steaming blood, smeared in the air, outlining a complex pattern that resembled the Taoist principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, yet also exuded a fierce and malevolent aura.

hum-

As the formation took shape, ripples spread across the void like water.

The two felt a chill run down their spines, and a deep-seated fear surged up, as if some unspeakable being had descended upon this world.

"Something's wrong!"

"Do it!"

Ji Lianxing activated her primordial energy with all her might, dismantling the ancient bronze scroll. Pages fell one after another, swirling and dancing like a hurricane.

He then bit the tip of his tongue and uttered the truth: "Break!"

A burst of brilliant light shot out and crashed into the blood-red pattern!

Chen Mo held the Broken Jade Blade, poured his true essence into it, and slashed it with a whooshing sound, almost tearing the void apart!

However, no matter what they did, the pattern remained as stable as a rock, completely unmoved.

In the center of those intricate patterns, a fair, delicate hand slowly emerged, followed by an arm as white as a lotus root...

Finally, a tall woman appeared in front of the two of them.

Describing her as "tall" might not be entirely accurate; she was over eight feet tall and wore a gray scholar's robe. What should have been a loose robe was instead worn as a tight-fitting garment, perfectly outlining her curves.

The hem of her dress barely covered her knees, revealing a pair of long, slender legs that were plump and fleshy with just the right amount of fleshiness.

As for appearance, it doesn't matter at all, because those clear black and white eyes are so deep, like an endless universe, that it's impossible to look away.

"I apologize for the bloodshed just now, but it's a necessary procedure in order for the avatar to descend."

The woman's voice was slightly low, with a peculiar rhythm.

"..."

Ji Lianxing's throat moved slightly.

She was taken aback by the other person's politeness.

"You...you are the Demon Lord?" Chen Mo's expression was solemn.

"You could say that, but I'd prefer you to call me by my real name..."

The woman walked up to Chen Mo, looked at him, and her eyes were filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe. "Nice to meet you. My name is Zhu Wujian."
