Chapter 409: How did you see through it?

Ye Bai knocked on the door unhurriedly, and the door emitted a thumping sound.

Through the Truth Eye, he could sense that there was an extremely powerful demon inside the office.

There was another person inside, but it looked like their chances of survival were slim.

A dagger had been plunged into the person's heart, and judging by the flat abdomen, they were already dead.

Blood flowed down from the body of the president of the Pet Beast Guild.

The Succubus turned her head and frowned.

"What a piece of bad luck; I just killed you, and someone is already coming in?"

"I didn't expect that I would still have to bite the bullet and drink your blood."

"For someone old and frail like you, the blood tastes like rot."

"I have to be extremely careful every time."

She spread her large bat wings, and incredibly sharp barbs appeared on them.

She gently flapped her wings, and the endless spikes pierced straight into the corpse.

The blood entered the Succubus's body through the barbs.

Before long, it was sucked into a dried-up husk.

The dried corpse turned into countless specks of dust and vanished into mid-air.

The existence of Lei An was thus wiped out by the Succubus just like that.

Originally, he should not have been so careless, but due to the busyness of the past few days, Lei An had no time to rest, let alone guard against others.

"What a nauseating, disgusting taste."

"But I have already obtained the genetic information from this human."

The Succubus flapped her wings and flew into the air; her figure shifted for a moment, and not long after, a white-haired, middle-aged man appeared.

This was the special ability of the Succubus: as long as she absorbed the blood of her prey, she could disguise herself as the prey, and at the same time, there was a certain probability of absorbing the prey's memories.

And the Succubus had absorbed Lei An's memories regarding the Twenty-Eight Mansions, knowing the formidable nature of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

"Hmph, let me have a taste of these legendary Twenty-Eight Mansions."

"Coming, coming."

The Succubus cleared her throat and emitted an aged voice.

Then he pressed the electric switch, and the large door was slowly opened.

A faint scent of blood wafted through the air.

The Succubus leaned back against the chair calmly and looked at Ye Bai with a composed expression.

The human before her had tender skin and delicate flesh, and his blood was full of youthful vitality.

He was definitely not comparable to that fading flower, the president of the Pet Beast Guild.

The Succubus licked her lips, revealing four sharp fangs, just like a venomous snake hidden deep away.

"Hello, Kuimulang, I am the president of the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild, Lei An."

"Welcome to your arrival. I heard that there are three Twenty-Eight Mansions in total, right?"

"Why have you come alone?"

"Could it be that the distress signal I sent was intercepted by someone else?"

"The situation in Tianzhong City has become very dire; if you had arrived earlier, perhaps Tianzhong City could still be saved."

The Succubus said with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes; she was clearly mocking Ye Bai.

Mocking them for still being hesitant at the most critical moment.

Ye Bai looked through the Truth Eye and immediately discovered that the Lei An before him was actually disguised by a Succubus.

Combined with the extremely faint scent of blood in the air, Lei An must have met with a grim fate, and his body had likely been disposed of by the Succubus.

It was a pity; Lei An was a Pet Beast Master who had once competed for the Twenty-Eight Mansions alongside Grandmaster Zhang Dashan.

Although he was defeated, Lei An had great fame in Tianzhong City, and yet he died here just like that.

It sounded a bit absurd, but the actual situation was exactly as such.

"They are still on the way; I am faster, so I came over first to scout the path."

"To see how many demons are in Tianzhong City and take a count."

"By the way, what is the current situation in Tianzhong City? I easily discovered a large group of demons."

"Are you currently short-handed, or are you afraid to make a decision?"

"Is it really that hard to protect the citizens of all of Tianzhong City?"

"This is dereliction of duty, blatant dereliction of duty."

Ye Bai shouted sternly.

"Kuimulang, we are equals; do not shout at me, I can hear you."

"And don't just spout nonsense when you don't understand anything."

"It's not that we haven't tried, but we simply don't know who the demons are."

"Acting rashly will only make the citizens more panicked, and we haven't found a way to deal with the demons yet."

"On the contrary, several of our Pet Beast Masters have gone missing while trying to protect the citizens."

"Kuimulang, we have already done everything we should have done."

The Succubus leaned directly against the high-backed chair, spun a pen, and looked at Ye Bai with some impatience in her eyes.

"Besides the citizens going missing, people from our Pet Beast Guild have also started to go missing."

"We are severely short-handed now, so we can only turn a blind eye."

"Kuimulang, if you are capable of doing it, you might as well give it a try."

"Demons are endless; we can only try our best to reduce casualties and preserve our own strength."

"I hope not a single one of my subordinates is lost."

The Succubus's high-sounding words made Ye Bai laugh.

This might fool others, but it could not fool Ye Bai.

When it comes to playing dirty, he is the ancestor.

"Look quickly, what is that!"

A fiery red long blade pierced directly through the Succubus's chest.

The Succubus suddenly spat out a trace of black blood from her mouth.

She looked at Ye Bai with a resentful gaze.

"When did you discover my identity?"

"The disguise technique of the Succubus clan cannot possibly have any flaws."

So it could only be Ye Bai's special ability that discovered her.

After all, humans are the darlings of the heavens; like human Pet Beast Masters, they have various talents.

The Succubus laughed coldly, her hands extending black Zhua, wanting to pull the Sky Wolf blade out of her body.

The moment the Zhua touched the Sky Wolf blade, countless black smoke emerged, and at the same time, the Succubus let out a shrill scream.

She felt as if she had come into contact with a scorching hot piece of iron.

The black Zhua pulled the Sky Wolf blade out of her chest with force.

This long blade then detached from the Succubus's hand and returned to Ye Bai's hand.

This is the most practical aspect of a Soul Weapon.

"I could smell the scent of sulfur on you from across the entire door."

"I can remember this kind of scent for a lifetime."

The Succubus's eyes widened; he had actually recognized her through the scent on her body.

However, she quickly applied crimson lipstick to her lips.

Her bat wings spread open directly, a hint of disdain appeared on her face, and she revealed her ugly true colors.

"I know you, the newly appointed Twenty-Eight Mansions; I have seen your resume in Lei An's memories."

"I am a seventh-rank Succubus; you will not be my match."

"Obediently become a subject under my skirt; what is so good about fighting and killing?"

"It is better to be like us demons, with less scheming."

Not long after.

The Succubus appeared beside Ye Bai in an instant, and Ye Bai raised the Sun Blade backhanded to slash behind him.

The black Zhua collided with the Sun Blade, producing a large amount of sparks.

"Such fast speed."

"Then how will you guard against this move?"

The Succubus's tail stood upright and stabbed heavily toward the front.

Only a clanging sound was heard, and more than half of its tail was cleaved open by the Moon Blade.

Black blood scattered all over the ground, emitting a pungent odor.

"See, I told you that you have a smell on you."

"You still don't believe it?"

Ye Bai laughed coldly, and with a backhanded slash, he severed the Succubus's two wings.

Bang.

Under the influence of inertia, the Succubus crashed directly onto the ground, leaving a long trail of blood.

"This is a battle; this is the Guild President's office; how could such an intense duel break out inside?"

"Could it be that the President has met with an accident?"

The voices of other Pet Beast Masters came from outside.

"Not good, someone is attacking the President; let's rush in immediately to support and drive away the person attacking the President."

Lei An has extremely high prestige throughout Tianzhong City.

Seeing Lei An under attack, other Pet Beast Masters rushed over to support one after another.

"Hahaha, let me go."

"I will tell you the plan of Hell."

"Once the plan succeeds, the entire Blue Star will no longer have the territory of Yan Country; it will only become the territory of us demons."

The Succubus said confidently.

As a result, before she could say a few more words, a cold gleam slashed onto the Succubus's body.

The Succubus's body was directly split into two.

Before she died, her eyes were wide open, becoming exceptionally surprised; how could this human be so impervious to reason and not even want to fish for intelligence?

"Cough, cough."

A bloodstain appeared at the center of the Succubus's brow and subsequently expanded.

Gushing black blood emerged from within, and then the Succubus's body fell apart.

A demon core shimmering with a faint light fell from the Succubus's body.

"Stop, stop, stop."

The members of the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild all raised their hands in protest, fearing that their own President would be harmed by someone.

"Lei An, the president of the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild, has already been killed by me."

"His flesh and blood have also become a part of me."

The Succubus's head rolled on the ground as she sneered, but Ye Bai cleaved it into countless pieces immediately to prevent the Succubus from having a target to possess.

Only after Ye Bai explained repeatedly did he make others believe that their president had long since been eaten by a demon.

"I'm sorry, I was deceived by a demon just now."

"I apologize, I was speaking a bit too loudly."

"It was I who misunderstood you."

Ye Bai coldly swept his gaze over the middle-level cadres below.

"Do you all think that you can just do the bare minimum to get by?"

"Traces of demons have appeared in Tianzhong City, yet not only did you fail to report the matter upward, you even planned to cover it up."

"If I hadn't rushed over in advance this time, I don't know what would have become of the entire Tianzhong City."

"Would it have become a paradise for demons?"

Ye Bai said coldly.

"Now we must boost our morale and then begin to declare war on the demons."

"Now everyone, distribute the tasks by headcount."

"We will clear out the remaining demons, one area at a time."

"As for the question of whether demons might disguise themselves as humans, I have come specifically to solve that for you."

"However, before we act, I will dispatch a small team of members to handle logistics with everyone."

When Ye Bai arrived, he had already memorized the information of everyone in the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild.

"Ye Bai, how is it on your end?"

Jing Mu Han suddenly shouted through the walkie-talkie.

"Many demons have appeared, and they are heading in the direction of the Public Security Hall."

"It seems that you are the one who alerted them."

"This is going to be a massacre."

"Kuimulang, no need to hold back, kill them."

Ye Bai gripped the North Star Sky Wolf Blade tightly with both hands, and red and blue air currents swirled around Ye Bai's body.

Armor appeared on Ye Bai's body, looking full of spirit.

Night fell, the gloomy wind howled, and the overcast sky suddenly split open a hideous gash, as if the order between heaven and earth were being torn apart by an unspeakable force.

From this rift, swarms of demons poured into the human world like a tide; these were all demons created by the Demon Monarch Meng.

These demons were of various forms; some had arms like sharp blades, others dragged chain-like tails behind them, their eyes revealing a crimson glow, and foul-smelling saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths.

From their crazed expressions, it could be seen that these demons basically had no humanity left; only slaughter could enhance their power.

The demons roared unscrupulously, the sound like thunder, shaking the entire city.

Above the high towers of Tianzhong City, Pet Beast Masters had long since prepared for battle.

However, when they looked up at these tall and evil figures, an unprecedented fear surged in their hearts.

The demons opened their Blood Basin Mouths, devouring every living thing they could see; their power was strong enough to easily destroy city walls and turn towns into ruins.

Tianzhong City began to fall into chaos.

A demon of immense size appeared.

It was even more massive, a monster decorated with bones, and it was slowly moving forward.

At this moment, the voices of Jing Mu Han and Gui Jin Yang came through Ye Bai's walkie-talkie.

"Kuimulang, hold on for now."

"We will be back soon."

"Our magic array is at the final critical moment now; if we leave rashly, it will be very easy to fall short of success."

"Nether Hell Wolf, this demon is left to you."

This immensely huge demon was staring fixedly at Ye Bai with fierce, cruel eyes.

It was as if it could stare Ye Bai into the floor.

However, the next second, the ground beneath this demon shook, and it suddenly fell down, leaving only its head exposed.

【1. The seal of the demon nest is being sealed by someone; the ground is scattered with the scent of sulfur, which is exactly those dark-type energies destroying the stability of the magic array's structure.】

【2. Tianzhong City is a paradise for demons; recently, the demons have been playing a game of who can kill more people. The demons' idea is to collect human children, slaughter them, and use their wailing spirits to turn them into their food.】

【3. Devouring the corpses of demons can enhance dark-type energy; once all the demons in Tianzhong City are devoured, the Nether Hell Wolf's strength should be a guaranteed win.】

【4. The demon statues have begun to revive, but experts from Yan Country have suggested placing the demon statues in a separate room; do not let humans live together with the demon statues.】

【5. The rescue team from Yan Country is about to arrive in Tianzhong City, and injured civilians will receive priority treatment.】

"Phew, why have all the demons appeared in a cluster?"

Ye Bai looked at these demons very strangely; these demons still had dried bloodstains on them.

This proved that these demons had already eaten quite a few humans.

Ye Bai could sense the wailing of the deceased, as well as that kind of indelible hatred.

"Demons can gain power through slaughter, and subsequently advance to another stage."

"The more people who die in Tianzhong City, the more excited the demons will be."

"Lord Kuimulang, I suggest prioritizing the protection of civilians."

"Only in this way can we avoid greater losses."

A Pet Beast Master advised Ye Bai.

The demons roared and charged over.

Their speed was extremely fast, but most of their bodies fell apart in mid-air.

The Sun-Moon Twin Blades formed the best defense, and the demons' blood was all blocked by the Sun-Moon Twin Blades.

The demons' blood carried strong corrosiveness, so Ye Bai avoided this wave of attacks.

However, they were all just probing.
