Chapter 562: Reverse Strategy 21

After resolving the hatred in his original self's heart, Chenshu felt no restraint, and his mood became much happier.

Jin Chen also didn't inquire how the Chen Family members had fared; seeing the youth run toward him, he opened his arms to welcome him, and only after carefully checking that there were no wounds did he put his mind at ease.

"Why are you happy?"

His tone rose at the end, quite indulgent.

"From now on I have completely freed myself from the Chen Family's shackles; for the rest of my life I just need to stay with Achen, of course I'm happy."

Chenshu squeezed into his embrace, reliant and docile, without a trace of the fierceness from just moments ago.

"Whose little young master is this clingy, even wanting to stay together for this lifetime."

"Whose, of course it's yours."

Chenshu was made to giggle by his teasing, scrunching up his face, his head constantly rubbing against his neck.

Around the spot where Jin Chen and a few others stood, corpses were scattered across the ground.

The few Slay Demon Sect members still clinging to life watched this scene, feeling utterly terrified.

The people they sent in as sacrifices for the seal actually became the Yao King's beloved!

Who would have thought that losing by one move would happen here; those disciples could be said to both hate and resent the Chen Family.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

Jin Chen transformed into his giant original form, scooped up Chenshu and flung him onto his back; the warm fox fur was very comfortable, and Chenshu lay there, feeling utterly satisfied.

The black wolf and the spotted tiger followed closely behind, gradually disappearing into the Chen Family Backyard.

"Quick…quickly go report to the Young Master!"

A disciple struggled to stand up, but as soon as his words fell, he heavily smashed onto the ground, losing breath, his whole body turning into a pool of dark blood that the floor soaked up and absorbed.

The few still alive looked in horror as the formation gradually formed on the ground.

"Blood, Blood Fiend Formation!!" one disciple recognized it, his voice trembling, filled with fear from the depths of his soul.

The Blood Fiend Formation kills only living beings, and the formation is flexible and changeable, making it impossible to locate its eye.

No wonder the Yao King spared them only to kill them later—he wanted revenge for his imprisonment! He intended to trap them alive to die in the Chen Family Backyard.

Dampness spread through the courtyard, soon the sky poured heavy rain; endless rainwater dripped from the green tiles, washing away the bloodstains on the ground.

What should have been a beautiful scene, but the stillness and despair within it made people feel oppressed.

——

The sects outside Yaogong had not yet realized the impending danger.

They all knew full well that this expedition, claimed to be a crusade against the demon tribe, was actually for the legendary supreme treasure of Yaogong—gold and silver.

So besides dealing with the monsters that occasionally ran out of the seal, they also guarded against each other, fearing someone would open the seal before them.

They had been sawing away at it until today without managing to break the seal; thus they all believed the Yao King was now locked in the Chen Family Backyard, and that Yaogong contained no great demon to be wary of, which is why they acted so openly.

Beyond the seal, the few little monsters guarding the gate sighed for the 109th time, their voices childish.

"Seeing ghosts, they still don't attack; why are they blocking the gate and not letting us through?"

"You don't understand; these humans' hearts are dirty, they must be thinking of some dark scheme."

Another hairless little monster wore an inscrutable expression.

"I just don't know when the Great King will return; when he does, he'll surely make those humans cry rivers!"

"Stupid," the first monster gave it a clatter, "it's 'falling flowers and flowing water'! Illiterate!"

"Guys! I think I saw the Great King!"

The donkey-eared little monster that poked its head out from the city wall's edge tiptoed and shouted loudly, instantly drawing the attention of all the gate-guarding little monsters.

"Really? Where, where?"

"I want to see too! Don't crowd me!"

"Don't crowd! We'll fall off!"

A few little monsters chattered, quickly drawing the attention of the sect guards in the corner, who pointed and shouted, "There's another monster over there!"

"Damned beasts still dare to show their faces!"

The old monk who also spotted it tightly bound his robe, gathered his Spiritual Power, and hurled it forward.

"Ahhh—"

"Kill the demons—Great King, save us!"

The little monsters frightenedly shrank back their heads, and even if they hadn't seen Jin Chen's form, they still shouted loudly.

"Master, be careful!"

The old monk hadn't yet caught the demon when he heard his disciple shout loudly; he hurriedly turned to dodge, but it was already too late.

He was struck by a blast of cold fire that came flying from midair, instantly engulfing his whole body; in the midst of his agonized howls, within just a few seconds he turned to dust, not a single bone left.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene, hastily grabbing their weapons and taking battle stances, tightly staring at the multicolored flowing clouds in midair.

When the true form appeared, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Nine fox tails! Yao King Jin Chen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar; the Slay Demon Sect Leader was even more shocked.

He himself had personally bound the sleeping Yao King in the Chen Family Backyard! He even used an ancient formation to trap him—how could he possibly break the seal formation so quickly?!

"You lot, what great gall you have."

The silver-white nine-tailed fox stood before the city wall, its beast claws sharp and pointed, speaking human words, shaking hearts and souls.

"Taking advantage of my slumber, you plot to destroy my Yaogong, slaughter my myriad demon subjects—you treacherous, crafty humans!"

This group of sect leaders who claimed righteousness could not bear such words; their conspiracies were exposed, and they only grew more furious out of shame.

"You demon beasts, everyone deserves to be killed!"

Someone shouted loudly, and immediately others echoed; they only needed a single agreeing phrase to stir up a great wave of resistance against the demon beasts.

Exactly! You should just honestly be animals! Cultivating into demons is not allowed! It will only cause a serious threat to human survival!

Demonic beasts are ferocious and brutal, and they commit all kinds of evil; why can't we kill them?

From Jin Chen's perspective, that group of people hid in the bright light of the scorching sun, and they were indeed too short; there was simply no way to find out who was shouting insults.

But it's precisely because of that that they dared to speak like that.

Well said! Why not go down to the underworld and have a good talk with Yan King?

Jin Chen sneered, his beastly paw slammed onto the ground, kicking up dust all around; at the same time, those sect bigshots also moved, using all their strength to oppose him.

Dahu and Erlang worked in perfect sync: one opened the city gate to release the demonic horde, the other blocked the people's retreat route, leaving them no way to escape.

When the city gate was flung open and the demonic horde came to aid upon the Yao King's summons, that group of people already had no chance of victory.

But although they fought, Jin Chen did not kill them all; otherwise, relations between humans and demons would only become more tense.

He only killed a few leaders and the demonic horde's memorable demon hunters; the rest were bundled together and thrown out of the natural corridor of Yaogong, and simultaneously an illusion arose, making it impossible for them to find the way to Yaogong again.

Welcome back, our king!

Finally, all the citizens of the Yao King's demon race had arrived, and they were obviously extremely excited; this period had nearly suffocated them!

Jin Chen transformed into human form, taking Chenshu's hand as they walked into the city.

Their intimate gesture immediately aroused the curiosity of many demons.
