TBOUMTBDK Chapter 56

Yun Xia stared at him in astonishment.

What did he say? He’s willing to take the Demon Transformation Pill?

Everyone present knew what the Demon Transformation Pill was. Even if some of the crowd below didn’t, they were quickly informed by those beside them.

“Nonsense! What are your intentions in making the Holy Lord take the Demon Transformation Pill! General Xiu Wu will be here soon. When he arrives, you won’t be able to escape. Hurry up and surrender!”

A demon shouted.

Apart from those who knew the true identity of Holy Lord Li Yu, everyone else was extremely angry.

But even Rong Feng and the others weren’t very calm.

The Demon Transformation Pill hadn’t appeared for a long time, but the last time it did, it caused quite a stir. The person who was tricked into taking the Demon Transformation Pill searched the entire Demon Realm but couldn’t find a way to quickly restore their Demon Nucleus.

The Demon Lord’s cultivation base is unfathomable, so there might be a chance that it can be solved, but no one has ever researched this thing before. What if the Esteemed Lord happens to be countered by it?

After all, someone as strong as he was back then was helpless.

“You’re willing to take it?”

“As long as you agree to let him go, I can take it.” Holy Lord Li Yu looked calm, as if the Demon Transformation Pill he was about to take was just an ordinary medicine/pill.

Xiao Tongfu didn’t expect him to agree so readily, and couldn’t help but suspect that there was some conspiracy. He didn’t say anything for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the encirclement that even a fly couldn’t escape from.

His half-crazed eyes flickered constantly.

“With this formation of yours, it doesn’t look like you want to let me out.”

The Demon Lord waved his hand gently, and the people surrounding Xiao Tongfu in the air immediately scattered, leaving a large gap.

Although Xiao Tongfu’s state was abnormal, he wasn’t completely without brains. He said,

“Tch, Lord Li Yu, I haven’t been in the Demon Realm for just a day or two. Do you really think I don’t know anything? Every city in your Demon Realm has incredibly sturdy city defenses, and has never even once been captured by the Immortal Realm. You’re the one who created this thing, so what, are you planning to let me suffer in silence? Trying to trap me here with the city defenses?”

He let out an eerie laugh, raising his five fingers and stabbing them into Yun Xia’s neck, leaving five shallow holes.

Warm blood flowed from the wounds.

Yun Xia’s body trembled uncontrollably. A person who was very afraid of pain actually managed to hold back from crying out. He was trembling all over from the pain, his lips turning white.

He just thought in his heart that he had actually become the kind of person in TV who was captured and threatened, and could only wait for others to save him.

He even took the time to think that it really hurt, and his fingers must be dirty, stabbing directly in. What if he got infected…

No, no, no, now is not the time to think about these things!

When Wei Ying saw Yun Xia injured, he almost couldn’t help but want to rush up again, and was once again pulled back by Yao Yun.

“Don’t be impulsive.”

Wei Ying turned his head, his eyes red: “What are we waiting for? He’s already injured! Why aren’t we going up? He’s just one person, we can definitely save Yun Xia!”

Yao Yun met his urgent and worried gaze and discovered something, but didn’t say anything else. Instead, he said, “With Holy Lord Li Yu here, he will be fine.”

“What exactly is the Holy Lord thinking? Why is he still arguing with him!” His words couldn’t help but carry blame.

Yao Yun’s expression darkened: “That one definitely has his considerations. Do you think he really doesn’t care about Yun Xia? Moreover, acting rashly now, who knows what that madman will do. His cultivation base is not low, he definitely came prepared, and I can feel that his Divine Consciousness is a bit strange, so let’s wait and see.”

Wei Ying opened his mouth, speechless.

The fists placed on both sides of his body were already clenched tightly. If his strength wasn’t enough, he could only be like this, only waiting on the side for others to save the person he cared about.

Since he knew he was a madman, knew that his Divine Consciousness was strange, and that he had a well-planned plan and came prepared, wasn’t Yun Xia even more dangerous?

The Esteemed Lord had shown that he cared so much about Yun Xia before, but now he was watching Yun Xia get injured and was indifferent.

He also knew that the Demon Lord definitely had a plan, but the Esteemed Lord was so strong, did he really have to let Yun Xia take this risk?

If it were him, he would never do this!

Wei Ying’s delicate and upright face twisted slightly, and in the end, he closed his mouth, only staring intently at Yun Xia’s direction.

Not far away, the Demon Lord agreed to release the city defense barrier, allowing Xiao Tongfu to take Yun Xia out of Holy City.

Before long, the barrier that had protected Holy City for many years was completely opened for the first time.

Xiao Tongfu raised his head and saw faint blue light flickering in the sky. That was the color of the Holy City barrier. Then, everyone in the city felt the earth-shaking power. Afterward, the power that enveloped the entire city slowly disappeared.

The barrier was completely opened.

An excited expression appeared on Xiao Tongfu’s face. He could feel the exquisiteness of this barrier. He had studied this place in depth, and now that he could see it with his own eyes, he couldn’t help but become even more excited.

He led Yun Xia towards the city gate. As expected, he saw the city walls were full of demon soldiers, and there were even many demon beasts.

At this moment, they were staring at them intently.

If he had rushed over directly, he would definitely have been blocked by these people.

Xiao Tongfu laughed loudly again, making Yun Xia’s ears buzz.

He wondered in his heart, what exactly was going on with this Senior Brother Xiao? Was he going crazy because his plan was about to fail?

Even now, Yun Xia still didn’t want to give up, and endured the pain in his throat to say softly: “What’s wrong with you? What exactly do you want?”

Xiao Tongfu didn’t ignore him. He chuckled in his ear: “You thought I was at the end of my rope? Not at all. Of course, I won’t give up just like that. As for you, then I’m sorry.”

Yun Xia was shocked, but he didn’t get a chance to speak because Xiao Tongfu smoothly led him out of the barrier range of Holy City. The onlookers inside Holy City were blocked by the demon soldiers, and only some demon soldiers and Holy Lord Li Yu’s people followed them to the city gate.

The closer he got to the city gate, the more anxious Yun Xia became. Moreover, he could feel that Xiao Tongfu’s mental state was even worse, yelling loudly for others to stay further away.

This person was becoming more and more unlike the person in the inn. Yun Xia had a direct feeling that he would do many irrational things.

Moreover, Yun Xia definitely didn’t want the Demon Lord to take that Demon Transformation Pill, and wanted to reach into his sleeve to destroy the thing.

But the moment his hand moved, Xiao Tongfu noticed.

“Hey, hey, hey, as expected, you can only see a person’s position when it comes to a critical moment. Junior Brother Yun Xia, didn’t you say you didn’t betray me? What are you trying to do again? Destroy the Demon Transformation Pill?”

Xiao Tongfu’s sinister voice rang out, and the hand of Yun Xia was also grabbed by his other hand, holding it in front of him. He lowered his head and licked the fresh blood that was still oozing from Yun Xia’s neck.

The disgusting sensation made Yun Xia stiffen all over, not daring to move.

Xiao Tongfu definitely… definitely had a problem! What was going on? Why was he getting crazier the further away he got from the city?

“I’m so sad because of you like this. Let me think, are you most afraid of your identity being discovered? The people of the Demon Realm seem to hate traitors quite a bit. In the matter of the Three Kings, I don’t know how many people died. I heard that the Demon Lord personally dealt with quite a few people in the Demon Palace. That one is a formidable figure. If I didn’t know he wasn’t in Holy City, I really wouldn’t dare to act like this.”

Yun Xia only felt the aura of the person behind him was cold, his tone strange, and becoming increasingly strange.

His heart was beating fast, and he unconsciously looked towards that person.

Where was the Esteemed Lord?

At this time, they were already a distance away from Holy City. The others didn’t get too close because of Xiao Tongfu’s request, but were still following. Only the Demon Lord took the lead, following not far away, his gaze always locked on Yun Xia.

The moment Yun Xia raised his eyes, he saw him.

The Demon Lord saw that his gaze was flustered, and gave him a slight smile, giving him a comforting look.

Yun Xia knew that it wasn’t good to rely on someone like this, but he still breathed a sigh of relief, even if the other party already knew his identity. Perhaps, perhaps he believed that he didn’t have any bad intentions towards the Demon Realm?

Moreover, he had indeed not done anything to harm the Demon Realm or that was detrimental to the demon race since coming here.

Xiao Tongfu saw these two flirting with each other here, and one was even in his hands, so brazenly, and couldn’t help but smile evilly.

At this moment, the Demon Lord spoke.

“I have already done this much, you should be at ease now.”

Xiao Tongfu glanced at those further away, but who could still hear them speaking, and nodded with satisfaction: “That’s not bad, hehehehe then I won’t thank Holy Lord too much. However, since you’re so generous, I still have to give you something in return. Didn’t you ask me what my plan is? My plan is to make you take the Demon Transformation Pill. It just so happens that so many people are here, you can all guess why I’m with him, Holy Lord Li Yu’s little lover.”

Apart from Wei Ying, Yao Yun, An He, and others, there were also people from the Star Demon Pavilion, the city defense guards, and even people from the Demon Court had come. Hearing this, they all frowned and looked at each other.

Yun Xia’s pupils trembled. What was he going to do! Was he going to directly reveal his identity?

In front of so many people?!

As expected, the people in the distance all heard it, their eyes showing hesitation, clearly

“Hahahaha, you’ve probably already investigated my identity, right?”

The people from the Demon Court felt uncomfortable seeing him, and said, “That’s natural. You’re from the Immortal Realm, a spy from the Immortal Realm. Some time ago, we even caught a batch of you undercover agents. So this is the so-called reputable sect? It’s truly laughable.”

Xiao Tongfu was noncommittal, and said meaningfully, “It seems you haven’t investigated enough.”

At this time, the Demon Lord suddenly spoke.

“All of you retreat to the city walls.”

Everyone was shocked.

“Holy Lord! Leaving you alone might…”

The Demon Lord interrupted him, only one word: “Go.”

Everyone inexplicably didn’t dare to disobey his wishes again, but…

At this time, the Pavilion Guardian of the Star Demon Pavilion stood out and said, “Everyone retreat.”

Someone from the Demon Court disagreed: “But, the Holy Lord will be in danger, why don’t we secretly stay behind?”

The Pavilion Guardian of the Star Demon Pavilion shook his head: “No, listen to the Holy Lord, all of you retreat. The Holy Lord will definitely be fine.”

As he spoke, he led his people and left first. Seeing this, the others remembered General Xiu Wu’s words, and could only follow and retreat.

The reason why the Pavilion Guardian was so firm was because he knew Holy Lord Li Yu’s true identity. He was also the only one here besides the people that the Demon Lord had personally brought down who knew.

Because he had personally seen how the Demon Lord treated this young man.

He boldly guessed that Holy Lord Li Yu was actually the Demon Lord himself, but he didn’t dare to reveal a single word of this kind of thing to others, lest he ruin the Esteemed Lord’s plan.

However, because of this, he was the least worried in this situation.

With the Esteemed Lord here, this person wouldn’t be able to jump around for long. There must be a reason why the Esteemed Lord was spending time with him here.

Xiao Tongfu didn’t stop them. After watching the irrelevant people leave, he smiled and said to the Demon Lord, “Li Yu, it seems you guessed my intention?”

Demon Lord: “Let him go first.”

Perhaps it had reached the stage of negotiation, this time Xiao Tongfu very happily released Yun Xia, but still didn’t let Yun Xia leave his side.

Yun Xia covered his neck, panting with his head lowered, his eyelashes fluttering nonstop.

“Li Yu, I think there’s no need to pretend anymore. You’ve long known that he’s from the Immortal race, known that he’s an undercover agent, and still like him so much?” Xiao Tongfu wrapped his arm around Yun Xia’s neck, grabbing his chin and raising his chin towards the Demon Lord.

Yun Xia grabbed his hand and threw it away fiercely, no longer caring about anything.

Xiao Tongfu wasn’t angry. He looked at him, then looked at the Demon Lord: “Yo, you suddenly have confidence?”

Yun Xia lowered his voice and glared at him fiercely: “There’s definitely something wrong with you.”

Xiao Tongfu laughed loudly: “Hahahaha, you discovered it.”

“I said it before.” The Demon Lord suddenly interrupted his laughter.

“What?”

“I only like one person, and that is him.” The young man’s voice was clearer than the Demon Lord’s original voice, but at this moment, what Yun Xia heard in his ear was the Demon Lord’s own voice.

Yun Xia suddenly turned his head. The Demon Lord was looking at him, not looking at Xiao Tongfu.

Yun Xia’s lips trembled, unable to speak.

The short sentence seemed to encompass everything. All the previous anxiety and unease turned into smoke and dissipated.

Only a warm current remained, soaking his heart until it was soft and warm.

“Then that’s even better. You eat the Demon Transformation Pill and go back to the Immortal Realm with us, otherwise…”

As soon as the words fell, Yun Xia suddenly felt his warm heart getting hotter and hotter. Soon, that heat spread throughout his body, and his Demon Nucleus spun wildly.

In just a few moments, he lost all control over his body.

“Otherwise, he’s going to self-destruct!”
