112: Chapter 112

The Black Dragon King roared, "Damn you, you have gone too far! I will fight you to the death!"

After a dozen rounds, the Black Dragon King's head was bitten off by Gui Jianchou, and his Soul was devoured as well, leaving behind only a black husk.

Gui Jianchou could transform at will into any object he had devoured. After collecting the demon emperor fragment, he decisively disguised himself as the Black Dragon King.

Tian Kui had never exposed Xiao Bai; it was Gui Jianchou who, based on his investigations, discovered that Xiao Bai possessed three demon emperor fragments.

He just couldn't figure out where they were hidden, so he decided to secure the Black Dragon King first—the safer bet—fearing that complications might arise.

Xiao Bai was full of tricks; even the Ghost Mother had died under his control, so Gui Jianchou dared not be careless.

He would definitely need to use some methods to make Xiao Bai obediently hand over the demon emperor fragments, so Gui Jianchou locked his target onto Yu Ji first.

This Bagua Formation was truly wondrous; Gui Jianchou had spent half an hour and still couldn't get out, as every door he entered was different.

It was completely different from when he had entered; trying to force his way out with magical power would only severely disrupt the sequence.

Chapter 148: Forced Prison Break

Feng Yun, having escaped the Black Dragon Palace, was at a loss; whenever Xiao Bai encountered danger, she would always stand at the forefront.

Though she claimed to hate him, her feelings were gradually changing, perhaps related to that small red dot that had vanished from her chest.

Given the massive difference in their sizes at the time, the fact that the Little White Snake managed to "drive the big car" was truly terrifying.

"Follow me."

The sudden voice made Feng Yun overjoyed; it seemed she had found her direction.

"Nine-tailed Fox, why are you here?"

"Don't ask; if you want to save Xiao Bai, come with me."

Xiao Bai had thought of many ways to get out, but it was a Formation set by a Ninth-Level Demon King, and since he was only a Level 5 Demon King, it wasn't so easy to escape.

Even if he transformed into a wisp of smoke and tried to swap places with objects outside the cage, he couldn't escape.

"Hahaha..."

Yu Zhen's hair was disheveled, his clothes were in tatters, and he kept rubbing himself against the ground, reeking of feces.

After being forcibly violated by Yan Lang earlier, he was now deeply traumatized and had gone insane.

He kept giggling foolishly, speaking incoherently, and it was impossible to understand what he was saying.

Yu Ji was filled with anxiety, shouting repeatedly, "Father! Father! What has happened to you?"

The chains bound her tightly to the stone pillar; she wanted to go and check on him but couldn't move a single step.

Just moments ago, Yu Zhen had perfectly demonstrated selling his daughter for glory and to save his own life, but in Yu Ji's heart, even though her father had acted so excessively, she still had a soft spot for him, remembering his care in raising her.

"Brother Xiao, what is wrong with my father?"

Xiao Bai grinned helplessly. "He's probably gone mad. After all, he's an old man, and after experiencing such a crazy event, his mind surely couldn't take it."

"Amitabha, virtuous! Virtuous!" Xiao Bai extended his right hand and began to chant.

All of this was his doing; if he hadn't used the illusion technique on Yan Lang, Yu Zhen wouldn't have gone mad.

Tian Kui and Feng Yun rushed to the dungeon at top speed; the guards outside were all dead.

The moment they entered, a pungent stench hit them. Yu Zhen was hugging a pillar and rubbing against it incessantly, his skin rubbed raw, yet he didn't stop.

His whole body was covered in red rashes; he had likely contracted a strange disease.

Feng Yun covered her nose and walked straight toward Xiao Bai, furious.

"Are you crazy? You're willing to be locked up here for a fish?"

"True, a newlywed young widow is very alluring. If I were a male demon, I would find it hard to resist too."

"Your Majesty, why are you here! Quickly get me out of here; the true culprit behind the scenes has surfaced."

Feng Yun slanted her eyes and rolled them. "Aren't you very capable? You're always playing tricks; think of a way out yourself."

"My Queen, this is an Imprisonment Technique specifically set for me by a Ninth-Level Demon King. What can a weakling Level 5 Demon King like me do?"

"Boom! Boom!"

Feng Yun struck the cage violently, but it had no substantial effect. She wanted to use the purple light from her Third Eye to pierce through the cage.

Tian Kui immediately appeared behind her and decisively stopped her. "Don't use that move; it will consume a large amount of Qi, and there will be a fierce battle ahead."

"He is already on his way here; we must hurry."

Tian Kui drew her sword and slashed out a sword shadow, forcibly breaking the cage imprisoning Xiao Bai.

Once out, Xiao Bai immediately ran to Yu Ji's side, snapped the chains on her body, and hoisted her onto his shoulder.

"Brother Xiao, put me down! I need to save my father."

"Why save him? You're just soft-hearted. Haven't you been screwed over enough?"

"He is completely insane and doesn't even recognize you anymore. If he had even a shred of fatherly affection, he wouldn't have done such despicable things."

Yu Ji hesitated, wanting to say something: "But... it is..."

Feng Yun gave her a death glare. "If you say another word, I will cut out your tongue. How can you be so stupid?"

Such a top-tier newlywed young widow, and an old acquaintance at that, Xiao Bai definitely had to take her with him.

If he really ignored her and left Yu Ji here, waiting for those Shrimp Soldiers and crab generals to arrive, she would suffer greatly.

He gave Yu Ji's round, perky buttocks a light pat. "Don't provoke the Queen; she's not joking."

Just as they walked out of the dungeon, the Black Dragon King arrived with his elite guards.

"Very well, you actually broke out of prison; you are indeed guilty as charged."

Behind the Black Dragon King followed representatives of various factions; they had witnessed everything.

"The noble envoy of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan has actually colluded with a snake demon from the Xuan Tian Continent to harm my son, all just for this slut from the Merfolk."

"Everyone, judge for yourselves. The snake demon publicly provoked the Black Dragon Clan. As the Black Dragon King, how can I just let this go?"

"Even if the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan is powerful, I, the old man, must seek justice for my son who died a miserable death."

The Demon Race representative spoke up first, condemning him sternly. "This snake demon is truly detestable. For the sake of the Mermaid Princess, he publicly harmed the Eighth Prince of the Black Dragon Clan and even made the Third Prince take the blame."

"His heart is punishable, and his actions are despicable."

Representatives from all sides were condemning Xiao Bai's behavior. At this moment, he was disgraced, and the corner of the Black Dragon King's mouth couldn't help but rise; this was the true "Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King."

Ao Xue wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by two Elders from her clan, who told her not to meddle.

Otherwise, they would have to execute the Dragon Emperor's order and take her back.

Tian Kui sneered, "Black Dragon King, stop pretending. You are the mastermind; I have been observing you for a long time."

"No, to be precise, you should be called the Ghost Race Great Guardian, Gui Jianchou."

The Black Dragon King roared, "Nonsense! Even a tiger does not eat its own cubs; how could I personally harm my own child?"

"Heavenly Demon Fox woman, do not try to confuse the public and forcefully defend the snake demon."

"This matter is settled; it is the snake demon who coveted the beauty of the Mermaid Princess and harmed my son."

"Otherwise, who is that he is carrying on his shoulder? Everyone is not blind. If you continue to shield the snake demon, you will be enemies with all factions. Even the powerful Heavenly Demon Fox Clan would find that hard to bear, right?"

Tian Kui whispered in Feng Yun's ear, "Later, I will trap him, and you use the purple light to make him reveal his true form."

"Gui Jianchou's movement technique is very strange; I can only catch him off guard and trap him for a short while, so you must be quick."

"Mm..."

At this moment, the Black Dragon King was still feeling smug. The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had chosen to remain neutral and not participate in this matter, while the representatives led by the Demon Race had already stood on his side.

As long as Tian Kui was made to retreat, Xiao Bai would have to obediently surrender.

Suddenly, the Black Dragon King's hands and feet were bound by white fox tails, and a heart flew out from Tian Kui's mouth, charming him.

A beam of purple light shot out from Feng Yun's forehead and struck the Black Dragon King.

He began to twist and deform, his body cracking, and he turned into a blob of black liquid on the ground, very viscous.

In an instant, it devoured all the Shrimp Soldiers nearby.

"As expected of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan; you really have some tricks. I was still negligent."

Representatives from all sides retreated, and even the two Elders beside Ao Xue became highly tense.

"Gui Jianchou, how could he be here?"

Chapter 149: Collecting the Fragments, Displaying Coordinates

Gui Jianchou twisted his neck, his whole body creaking. He licked his lips, feeling as if he wanted to devour everything here.

"Elder Ji An, you've been hiding for so long; it's time to show yourself."

A cloud of blood mist drifted from not far away, and Ji An decisively appeared.

"Everyone is here; I, this Old Guy, have come to join in the fun."

Xiao Bai was not at all unfamiliar with this Old Guy; if Tian Kui hadn't stood in front earlier, he probably would have been killed by him long ago.

As an Elder and Protector of the Demon Race, his strength was among the top tier even among these Demons and Monsters.

Tian Kui whispered in Xiao Bai's ear, "Be careful of that Gui Jianchou; his strength is above Ji An's."

"He was once part of the Demon Race, but was later recruited by the Nine Nether Ghost Emperor. I will try to use the previous method to get them to form an alliance, but if the situation turns bad, you must retreat immediately."

"Alright, no problem."

Gui Jianchou simply stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table. "That's right, I have been manipulating everything from behind the scenes."

"If the Black Dragon Clan lacks the strength, they should not covet the Demon Emperors Tomb, otherwise entering it is just seeking death. I am doing this for their own good."

In the face of absolute strength, everyone chose silence, but Ao Xue could not bear it any longer.

She cursed at Gui Jianchou, "You insidious villain, how dare you frame us!"

With the Demon Race taking his side, Gui Jianchou now looked down on everyone, filled with killing intent.
