“At this critical moment, the stone slab in front of Ye Yu shattered, and two drumsticks soared into the air, emitting a faint golden glow.”
“For some unknown reason, that strange feeling appeared again.”
“A sudden thought arose in his mind.”
“That was—if he could strike the great drum with these drumsticks, he would be able to survive!”
“It felt like an intuition, one he believed without doubt.”
“This time, Ye Yu did not resist but followed the flow, choosing to grasp the two drumsticks and forcefully strike the great drum.”
“In an instant, the previously dim and lifeless demon runes around him seemed to be reborn at this moment, becoming dazzlingly radiant once more.”
“Not only did it shatter the subsequent sword Qi attacks from Jing Yanxin, but it also produced a powerful shockwave that forced all the surrounding demon clans to retreat.”
“A surging power simultaneously flowed into Ye Yu’s body.”
“This exhilarating sensation made him inexplicably excited.”
“He couldn’t help but start beating the drum harder!”
“The drumbeats grew louder and soon echoed throughout the entire Chaotic Demon City.”
“At the same time, the surrounding demon runes rose along with it, soaring into the sky like a magnificent painting full of a dreamy atmosphere!”
“At this moment, all the demon clan chiefs inside Chaotic Demon City looked at the glow in the city’s center in disbelief.”
“After three hundred thousand years, has the destined great demon finally appeared?”
“At the center of Chaotic Demon City!”
“Soon after the eighty-one beats ended, Ye Yu stopped his movements, and the two drumsticks transformed into points of starlight, vanishing from sight!”
“Jing Yanxin suppressed the turbulent blood qi within his body and burst into a crazed, maniacal laugh again.”
“‘Hahaha! I knew it—the legend is true! You are that destined great demon!’”
“Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly, utterly confused about what he meant.”
“Only then did many of the powerful figures from Chaotic Demon City arrive.”
“Ye Jizui immediately stepped in front of Ye Yu, his gaze icy as he looked at Jing Yanxin.”
“‘Traitor, you shall face judgment!’”
“‘Surrender immediately, or you won’t escape torment to your soul!’”
“As Ye Jizui’s words fell, the surrounding demon clan chiefs began to shout angrily.”
“‘City Lord, this man betrayed my Sword-Tailed Centipede clan. Let us tear him limb from limb!’”
“‘Silence! He stole from my childhood demon clan, and I haven’t settled the score yet! I will imprison his soul in the Murky Night Tower to suffer endless torture!’”
“‘Stop arguing! Everyone line up—each torture him for ten days. I’ll go first!’”
“‘Get lost, shameless old wretch!’”
“...”
“Hearing the passionate uproar around him, Jing Yanxin’s face showed no trace of fear but rather disdain as he looked at all the demon clans.”
“‘What kind of trash are you? Do you really think you have me trapped? Don’t be naive! Ye Yu, just wait—I will come for you again!’”
“As soon as his words ended, countless spikes erupted from the ground.”
“Jing Yanxin’s body turned into flowing sand, completely dissipating on the spot!”
“Seeing this, the great demons nearby immediately prepared to act, but when their eyes fell on Ye Yu, they involuntarily stopped.”
“They then ordered their subordinates to search for Jing Yanxin’s whereabouts but stayed behind themselves.”
“Among the demon horde, the chieftain of the Horned Eagle clan, Chen Mingzi, eyes flickering, revealed a slight smile.”
“He then stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the changes below.”
“Ye Yu felt utterly bewildered by everything happening around him.”
“Even Ye Jizui, standing before him, showed a serious expression for the first time.”
“In a voice transmitted by mind-sound, he said, ‘I thought in my lifetime I’d never witness such a spectacle, but unexpectedly, you truly are the legendary destined great demon. Fate is indeed ironic. I doubt my old friend could have imagined this!’”
“‘Since it has come to this, there’s nothing more to say. Put your hand on the drum surface and wait for the response!’”
“Ye Yu asked in confusion, ‘Response? What response?’”
“Ye Jizui did not speak further but made a gesture inviting him to do so.”
“Seeing this, Ye Yu said nothing more.”
“He then turned and slowly placed his right hand on the drum surface.”
“Instantly, a wave resembling a heartbeat spread through him.”
“Then the sensation grew stronger and stronger.”
“Before long, a dazzling light appeared.”
“On the drum surface stood the shadow of a peacock, spreading its splendid tail feathers, breathtakingly beautiful!”
“Before Ye Yu could observe it carefully, the surrounding demon clan chiefs knelt and saluted, saying, ‘Welcome back the First Generation Demon City Lord!’”
“‘First Generation Demon City Lord? Is that peacock?’”
“Ye Yu was greatly shocked in his heart.”
“Just then, the shadow vanished.”
“In its place appeared a gigantic egg about two zhang tall!”
“It looked incredibly huge.”
“Ye Jizui looked at Ye Yu ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) with a complicated gaze and softly said, ‘From today on, guard the First Generation Demon City Lord well. Absolutely no mistakes allowed, or even I won’t be able to save you, understand?’”
“Ye Yu’s face turned strange, and he hurriedly asked, ‘What does that mean?’”
“Ye Jizui did not answer but ordered the surrounding demon clan chiefs.”
“‘Disperse. Today’s matter stays in your stomachs. If anyone leaks a word, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!’”
“All the demon clan chiefs nodded in agreement.”
“At that moment, Chen Mingzi’s figure also vanished instantly!”
“A long time later.”
“Bazhangen!”
“A remote place three thousand li from Chaotic Demon City!”
“Jing Yanxin was sitting cross-legged healing his wounds, trying to suppress the turbulent blood qi inside.”
“But in the next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, rapidly retreated, and took a defensive stance!”
“Soon, Chen Mingzi’s figure emerged from the shadows!”
“Looking at Jing Yanxin’s disheveled appearance, he said calmly, ‘You used a disguise to make all the demons believe you had fled Chaotic Demon City, but actually hid nearby.’”
“‘When all their attention was drawn to the legendary First Generation Demon City Lord, you slipped away quietly.’”
“This scheme is quite clever!”
“But do you really think you can escape my sight?’”
“Looking at the handsome man before him, Jing Yanxin was fully alert.”
“He had heard of Chen Mingzi’s fame.”
“Now seriously injured, he was naturally no match for this guy!”
“No, he needed to find a chance to leave first!”
“Jing Yanxin scanned his surroundings, then softly asked, ‘Since you already discovered my trail, why didn’t you reveal yourself immediately but waited for me to leave before coming? What do you want?’”
