【Ye Yu’s words caused all the demons of the Manniu Clan to stop in their tracks.】
【The real truth?】
【The demons looked left and right; no one dared advance further.】
【Even a few elders fell into deep thought.】
【Was what happened back then truly as Niu Shixiao described? Or was there some hidden truth? Honestly, they were all curious.】
【But having an outsider demon control Niu Shixiao was ultimately no good.】
【Thinking this through, they were about to speak to refuse, but Ye Yu did not give them the chance. Instead, he directly asked: “Niu Shixiao, what exactly are you trying to do today?”】
【Niu Shixiao closed his eyes tightly and muttered to himself: “Today I want to force Niu Erhua to give up the clan leader position. She’s just a little demon—on what basis does she ascend? Just because my dead brother is her father? Hah, I’ve never accepted that! Previously, her fate was lucky, and my multiple ambushes all failed, but it doesn’t matter! As long as today succeeds, the clan leader position will still be mine!】
【Once I ascend, the first thing I’ll do is sign a master-servant contract with Yue Wanqiu, making her my blade to help me seize the position of Wing Demon City Lord.”】
【Hearing this, the entire scene erupted in shock.】
【Even the elders of the Manniu Clan couldn’t help but close their eyes.】
【Niu Shixiao wanting to become clan leader was understandable.】
【Who wouldn’t want to advance further?】
【But wanting to harm your own niece—this was worse than beastly!】
【Niu Erhua was the future clan leader; this had long been predetermined!】
【Arranging for ambushes—according to Manniu Clan rules, killing him a thousand times wouldn’t be too much!】
【A clan that kills its own, doomed to a bad end!】
【Niu Erhua couldn’t help but step back half a pace.】
【She had never imagined that her own uncle would think of killing her—this was simply unimaginable.】
【Ye Yu did not stop questioning and continued: “Then is everything you said tonight true? For example, regarding the Life Ring?”】
【Niu Shixiao spoke: “The Life Ring story was fabricated by me. I don’t even know where the real Life Ring is. So I guessed, it’s very likely that my brother took it to save Yue Wanqiu!】
【But whether that’s true or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that I stand on the high ground of morality, so Yue Wanqiu feels guilt and is forced to sign a master-servant contract.】
【Then, gathering the full strength of the Manniu Clan, even if Yue Wanqiu wants to resist, she can never escape my grasp.】
【At the same time, to make everyone believe my words, I cast a small illusion on all of them, so they wouldn’t doubt anything I said—but you destroyed all of that. I wish I could tear you apart alive to...”】
【At this point, Niu Shixiao suddenly opened his eyes.】
【Terrified, he rushed backward at lightning speed.】
【He only stopped after creating a distance of a hundred meters!】
【“Bastard! You actually used an illusion on me!】
【Everything I just said—was all fake! It was this brat using ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ illusion to make me speak!”】
【Niu Shixiao immediately chose to defend himself, but few chose to believe him.】
【Most of the demons remained skeptical.】
【Especially recalling Niu Shixiao’s previous actions, his personality made such deeds entirely believable!】
【Ye Yu stepped forward and pressed: “Fake or not, why not extract your soul and ask directly? I believe Soul Search Technique cannot lie. If you still don’t trust me, have the Manniu Clan handle it—it won’t go wrong, right?”】
【“You!”】
【Niu Shixiao was momentarily speechless. Whether it was true or false, he knew perfectly well.】
【At this moment, he had been cornered by Ye Yu.】
【No matter how he explained, he could hardly gain the belief of everyone.】
【How infuriating! Never thought that the last step would fail!】
【Niu Shixiao truly wished he could crush Ye Yu to dust immediately!】
【But he feared Ye Yu’s illusions!】
【So he thought to turn and leave, planning to act later!】
【But, unfortunately, no one gave him that chance!】
【Yue Wanqiu lightly tapped the void!】
【The space before them rippled like water.】
【Niu Shixiao’s entire body seemed instantly frozen, unable to move an inch!】
【Seizing this moment, Ye Yu lightly twirled his fingers, and a purple talisman appeared from thin air.】
【The Supreme Mandate Talisman, power of Moonlight!】
【The bright moonlight in the sky erupted with immense radiance, instantly infusing Niu Shixiao’s body.】
【His body began to shatter instantly.】
【A wisp of soul shadow appeared, trying to struggle and escape, but was immediately grasped by Ye Yu.】
【He then said to the Manniu Clan present: “Whoever wants to perform the Soul Search Technique, step forward and see who is right and who is wrong.”】
【With a single hand, a Demon King Realm was extinguished—at this moment, all the demons’ eyes reflected a grave seriousness.】
【Several elders immediately stood and said: “Demon friend, hand Niu Shixiao’s soul to us; we will treat it fairly!”】
【Ye Yu did not speak, but instead focused his gaze on Niu Erhua.】
【After she nodded, he released Niu Shixiao’s soul.】
【The elders caught it and instinctively wanted to perform a Soul Search on the spot, but seeing so many demons around,】
【for the sake of keeping the clan’s shame internal, they finally set up a barrier.】
【They pulled Niu Erhua inside and began performing the Soul Search Technique!】
【At the same time, the system’s voice sounded in Ye Yu’s mind.】
【“Host has crushed the evil demons’ plan and saved the tragic fate of the Baize and the Seven-Colored Divine Ox. This is an act of justice. Reward: 2,000 Justice Points.】
【Detection: Baize and Seven-Colored Divine Ox are both bearers of great fortune; reward doubled. Total: 4,000 Justice Points!”】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but rejoice.】
【He hadn’t expected that attending a succession ceremony would grant him 4,000 Justice Points—truly an unexpected delight!】
【“Thank you!”】
【The next moment, Yue Wanqiu’s voice sounded in Ye Yu’s heart.】
【He turned to look; Yue Wanqiu nodded slightly, continuing via mental communication: “If you hadn’t intervened this time, I might not have signed the master-servant contract. I would have ended my own life here. So, truly, thank you!”】
【Ye Yu smiled faintly: “You flatter me!”】
【At that moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure among the demons.】
【Jianwei Centipede, Jing Yanxin! How is he here?】
【Before Ye Yu could think further, Jing Yanxin smiled wickedly and disappeared, blending into the crowd of demons!】
