【Looking at Ye Yu’s unfamiliar expression, Niu Shixiao narrowed his eyes slightly.】
【Who was this person? He seemed never to have been seen before.】
【Judging by the demonic aura fluctuations on his body, he seemed only to be at mid-stage Demon Lord Realm!】
【With such cultivation, on what basis did he dare to scold Yue Wanqiu and Niu Erhua like this?】
【Moreover, he didn’t seem affected at all!】
【Although the ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) reason was unclear, Niu Shixiao had no intention of letting today’s opportunity slip by!】
【So he said coldly: “Who are you?”】
【“Who I am is none of your business!”】
【Ye Yu retorted irritably, then casually pointed at Niu Erhua and Yue Wanqiu.】
【“Look at yourselves. What has become of you?】
【Huh? A Baize and a Seven-Colored Divine Ox—each of you sounds stronger than the next. But when trouble arises, you don’t even think?】
【You just blindly obey whatever this skinny ox says? Not a single doubt?”】
【At this moment, the scene was silent, and Ye Yu’s voice reached the ears of every demon clearly.】
【Hiss... It wouldn’t have been so noticeable if he hadn’t said it, but now, it did seem a little off!】
【The rhythm of the entire audience seemed to have been dictated by Niu Shixiao.】
【No matter what he said, the demons displayed not a hint of doubt, as if everything had naturally fallen into place.】
【Such a situation was extremely strange.】
【For a moment, even the elders of the Manniu Clan could not help whispering among themselves.】
【Yue Wanqiu also couldn’t help but frown slightly.】
【Her gaze turned to Niu Shixiao with confusion.】
【Seeing all the demons present begin to doubt her, Niu Shixiao’s expression became extremely ugly.】
【In fact, the guesses of the crowd weren’t wrong.】
【The reason for this situation was that everyone present had fallen under an illusion.】
【The moment Niu Shixiao stomped on the fake Life Ring and shattered it,】
【his illusion had already begun!】
【However, this illusion did not pull people entirely into a phantasmal realm.】
【It only slightly paralyzed their minds, causing everyone to unconsciously follow his words in their associations.】
【It entered silently.】
【Extremely subtly, without the jarring contrast of traditional illusions. Coupled with the explosiveness of what Niu Shixiao was saying, no demon present noticed it!】
【But Ye Yu’s sharp shout instantly woke them all.】
【This was the biggest flaw of this illusion.】
【Silent and subtle, it was also extremely fragile.】
【Much like the seductive words of the Fox Demon Clan—once awakened, it would vanish completely.】
【Niu Shixiao’s face twisted ferociously.】
【Damn it, why is this happening? He was about to succeed!】
【Why could this Sheep Demon of the Immortal Lord Realm just stand here normally?】
【What he didn’t know was that all of this was thanks to Niu Erhua!】
【Yes, his own niece!】
【When Niu Erhua first met Ye Yu, the Tianniu Heart-Protection Jade she gifted had remained on Ye Yu all along.】
【This was the real reason Ye Yu hadn’t fallen into the trap!】
【But in the present situation, Niu Shixiao would never admit that he had tampered with things.】
【Otherwise, he would surely become the target of everyone’s ire!】
【So Niu Shixiao’s mind spun quickly, and he immediately countered: “What ignorant demons dare openly insult and doubt me! I am an elder of the Law Hall of the Manniu Clan—who are you to question me? Moreover, this is the territory of my Manniu Clan; what business is it of yours?】
【Completely outrageous! Guards, where are you? Seize him immediately and execute him on the spot!”】
【Hearing this, the guards of the Manniu Clan looked at each other, but still stepped forward.】
【Niu Shixiao was right; as an elder of the Law Hall, he had the authority to mobilize them.】
【Moreover, Ye Yu was an outsider demon. There was no reason to offend a clan elder on behalf of an outsider!】
【Seeing this, Yue Wanqiu immediately stepped forward to protect Ye Yu.】
【Niu Erhua also shouted loudly: “Stop! Everyone, step back! Until this matter is fully investigated, none of you are allowed to act!”】
【Niu Shixiao snorted coldly: “Erhua, I’ve long said you’re too young to be clan leader. Now, before even taking office, you’re already acting recklessly. If you really became clan leader, wouldn’t our Manniu Clan be bullied by outside demons to death?”】
【These words were clearly meant to provoke!】
【He was catching Niu Erhua in a verbal trap, turning the clan demons against her.】
【As expected, some clan members began whispering among themselves.】
【Unity was crucial among the demons.】
【Even if a clan member truly made a mistake, one must not defend outsiders.】
【This was a grave taboo!】
【Niu Erhua had never experienced such a situation, and for a moment was completely at a loss.】
【She tried desperately to explain, but didn’t know how to start.】
【Her eyes reddened with anxiety, tears about to fall!】
【Ye Yu, however, clapped his hands slowly and mockingly said: “You skinny ox really have a way with words. In just a few sentences, you’ve made your own niece want to cry. You truly are a competent Second Uncle. One would think you intend to drive your niece to death so you can take the clan leader position yourself!”】
【Being called out so directly, Niu Shixiao’s face turned even uglier.】
【Moreover, the term “skinny ox” was extremely insulting within the Manniu Clan.】
【It was like calling a young man a weak dog!】
【Niu Shixiao could no longer restrain himself.】
【“What nonsense are you spouting! Disturbing the bond between uncle and niece—you deserve to die!”】
【No sooner had he spoken than Niu Shixiao charged in front of Ye Yu, ready to strike!】
【Seeing this, Yue Wanqiu naturally stepped forward to block.】
【But someone was faster!】
【Ye Yu snapped his fingers and immediately unleashed the Thousand Dreams Illusion!】
【At that moment, Niu Shixiao was frozen in place, his eyes slowly closing.】
【Yue Wanqiu turned back in disbelief.】
【She truly could not imagine how Ye Yu, at Demon Lord Realm, could control a powerful Demon King Realm like Niu Shixiao.】
【A gap of a whole realm—how could it simply be ignored?】
【Not only did Yue Wanqiu find it incredible, but all the other demons did as well.】
【Even powerful figures like Niu Li rushed forward, shouting: “Don’t kill Elder Niu!”】
【After all, Niu Shixiao was an elder of the Law Hall of the Manniu Clan.】
【Though sharp-tongued and harsh, without committing a major error, they could not stand by and watch him be killed by an outsider demon!】
【Ye Yu raised his hand to block their advance and said softly: “Relax, I don’t intend to kill him. I just want to hear the truth from his own mouth, not some fabricated lies!”】
