【Qu Wenmiao did not know Ye Yu personally.】
【But that did not mean the local demons were unfamiliar with him.】
【Crab demon Fang Xingming immediately came to Qu Wenmiao’s side and transmitted by mind voice: "My lord, this is the white-haired monkey demon who protected Qing Rui within the territory of the Li Water Clam demon clan."】
【"Rumor has it, this demon is the Vice Workshop Master of Liangxin Workshop."】
【Upon hearing this,】
【Qu Wenmiao slightly raised an eyebrow.】
【"Since when did Liangxin Workshop have a Vice Workshop Master?"】
【"And a white-haired monkey demon at that? What exactly is Feng Zhenxin up to?"】
【But even if he is Liangxin Workshop’s Vice Workshop Master, so what?】
【He disrupted Elder An’s sacrificial ceremony and must die!】
【Qu Wenmiao did not respond by mind voice but spoke aloud,】
【especially the last sentence filled with murderous intent.】
【Faced with this, Ye Yu remained calm.】
【He smiled and said, "Sacrifices or not, I don’t understand. ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ I came to ask only one thing: Is Qing Rui’s husband’s death related to you?"】
【"Of course, you may choose not to answer."】
【"Because soon I will extract your soul and ask you properly."】
【Qu Wenmiao was momentarily stunned.】
【Then he laughed uproariously,】
【as if hearing the funniest joke in the world.】
【"Extract my soul? Why? Because you’re at the peak Golden Demon Realm? Or because you’re Vice Workshop Master of Liangxin Workshop?"】
【"Honestly, even if you’re just a vice, even Feng Zhenxin himself would have to bow his head to speak to me."】
【"Who do you think you are?"】
【"But since you’re about to die, I’ll tell you this."】
【"Qing Rui’s husband, Bai Xiao, died at my hands."】
【"And you will share his fate."】
【After saying this, Qu Wenmiao waved his hand.】
【Over ten thousand Divine Sea Society demons immediately erupted with terrifying roars, charging madly at Ye Yu.】
【Crab demon Fang Xingming rushed to the front line.】
【Qu Wenmiao’s eyes grew cold.】
【Peak Golden Demon Realm cultivation was impressive but not invincible.】
【Today was an important day for the Divine Sea Society, and all demons attending the ceremony were powerful.】
【Besides himself, only a few Demon Lord Realm demons were present.】
【But that was enough to deal with this white-haired monkey demon.】
【Qu Wenmiao had no intention of fighting personally because he had more important matters to attend to.】
【He slowly approached the deity statue and respectfully knelt on the ground.】
【He cupped sand soaked in black liquid in his hands.】
【He began chanting obscure incantations again.】
【Seeing the raging aquatic demons approaching,】
【Ye Yu frowned slightly. Such a large number of enemies—even using the Extreme Yin Bat Fan continuously—】
【would surely exhaust him.】
【Better to let them fight among themselves!】
【With that thought, Ye Yu suddenly stepped forward.】
【A gigantic white-haired giant ape appeared underwater.】
【Its crimson feet stomped fiercely, stirring waves of pressure.】
【The next moment,】
【weaker aquatic demons around instantly had red eyes and began indiscriminately attacking nearby demons.】
【A Demon Lord Realm shark demon felt dizzy.】
【A mysterious force surged into his heart, nearly breaking his focus.】
【Fortunately, his cultivation technique activated at the crucial moment, maintaining his clarity.】
【Before he could understand what was happening,】
【his companions all went berserk, attacking everything wildly.】
【This Demon Lord tried to stop them but was punched by a fellow demon of equal level and knocked to the seabed.】
【Sounds of fighting echoed loudly.】
【Demons died every second.】
【Ye Yu watched all this clearly and gained a deeper understanding of Zhu Yan’s bloodline ability.】
【Once fully released,】
【Zhu Yan’s aura affects all demons below his realm, driving them into a berserk state.】
【Demons stronger than him might avoid this effect.】
【Among over ten thousand demons,】
【several Demon Lord Realm elites including Shen Haiqingming remained calm.】
【The rest turned into killing machines.】
【This proved the tremendous strength of Zhu Yan’s bloodline.】
【Faced with many enemies, simply releasing this bloodline restriction causes them to fight each other.】
【A truly remarkable ability!】
【Of course, Ye Yu did not idle.】
【He flashed forward toward Qu Wenmiao.】
【"Old man, prepare to die!"】
【Qu Wenmiao’s expression grew very serious.】
【He sensed the changes outside.】
【A mere shadow affecting so many Divine Sea Society demons’ minds—such a technique was terrifying!】
【But just after extracting the Myriad Souls Divine Sea Liquid from the sand,】
【he could not afford to fail now!】
【So he steeled his heart,】
【poured the black liquid onto the deity statue,】
【and wrapped the sand fully in demonic power, planning to refine it later.】
【First, he had to deal with Ye Yu.】
【But he underestimated Ye Yu’s speed.】
【Before turning,】
【a thunderbolt suddenly pierced the seawater and struck him.】
【The powerful lightning caused his body to tremble violently.】
【He spat a mouthful of old blood onto the deity statue’s face.】
【Mixed with the black liquid, it was terrifying.】
【Ye Yu paid no attention and advanced directly, unleashing Burning Blood Heavenly Flame.】
【Poor Qu Wenmiao, a mid-stage Demon Lord, didn’t even get a chance to resist and was slain on the spot.】
【Truly, a slow step means every step is slow.】
【Ye Yu quickly withdrew his divine power and extracted Qu Wenmiao’s soul.】
【Looking at the withered soul in his hand,】
【Ye Yu laughed: "What did I say earlier? Didn’t believe me and had to resist—interesting."】
【Only a wisp of soul left, Qu Wenmiao sighed deeply.】
【"Winner takes all; there’s nothing more to say now!"】
【He could only accept his fate obediently.】
【But Ye Yu did not notice that at this moment, the deity statue had completely absorbed the fresh blood and black liquid on its surface!】
