Chapter 1347 - 407: Who Is Outsmarting Whom
"I don’t care, I just want to rest. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have gone out with you all."
Guangzi ignored Ye Lingyue’s words, sulked, stopped by the roadside, and refused to move.
Seeing this, Ye Lingyue and the others were helpless.
"This guy needs a lesson."
Di Shen gritted his teeth, and seemed ready to strike Guangzi.
"Sixth Brother, don’t trouble Miss Guangzi. You know I’m fond of her. Hitting her means disrespecting me, and I won’t recognize you as my brother any more."
Qin Xiaochuan argued with Di Shen.
Seeing the escalating conflict, if not for Ye Lingyue and Huang Jun holding them back, they might have already started fighting.
Hidden in the dark, Hong Mingyue sneered, thinking this group valued camaraderie above all, not expecting them to quarrel over a dancer.
"Di Shen, calm down. Guangzi isn’t a Martial Artist, so it’s not surprising her stamina isn’t like ours. How about letting Guangzi and Fourth Brother fall back while we return to Shui City?"
Ye Lingyue soothed Di Shen, recognizing he and Guangzi are inherently incompatible; it’s better to keep them apart.
"Just don’t let me see that person’s face. Qin Xiaochuan will eventually be dragged down by him."
Di Shen finished speaking, turned his head, and walked off.
Ye Lingyue, Huang Jun, and others took a deep breath looking at Guangzi and Xiaochuan and followed Di Shen along.
Only Guangzi and Qin Xiaochuan remained in place.
"Guangzi, if you’re really tired, I’ll hire a carriage. It’s more comfortable than riding."
Qin Xiaochuan spoke gently.
"No need to go through all that trouble. A carriage? We’ve got one ready."
Hong Mingyue emerged from the bushes with several demon soldiers.
Those dozen demon soldiers emanated Demon Energy, revealing their demonized forms.
Seeing Hong Mingyue, Qin Xiaochuan looked as if he’d seen a ghost, shouting in shock.
Knowing the situation wasn’t right, Qin Xiaochuan initially thought they only had to deal with Luo Qian in Shui City, not expecting that it had fallen to the Demon Clan within half a month. This was a massive crisis, leaving Ling Yue in the dark.
"You’re not Xuefeng’s Hong Mingyue. How did you end up with these demons?"
"To find out, come with us back to Shui City, attack!"
Hong Mingyue transformed into the Ghost Valley Moth, fluttering wings as large as two or three people, releasing toxic powder into the air.
Qin Xiaochuan managed to fend off a few rounds but collapsed from inhaling the toxic powder, rendered powerless, and captured with Guangzi back to Shui City.
"Reporting to the City Lord, we’ve successfully captured Ye Lingyue’s associates."
Hong Mingyue smoothly captured them, pleasing Shadow Concubine.
"Isn’t this the dancer from the Moonlight Troupe? She indeed has some charm."
Shadow Concubine eyed Guangzi; beneath a sheer veil for sun protection, her delicate skin seemed to drip water at a touch, and alluring eyes captivated even Demon Clan members like Shadow Concubine.
Shadow Concubine mused Guangzi was a natural enchantress; keeping her alive and offering her to seasoned Sky Demons or a Demon King would bring great advantages.
As for Demon Emperor Zhan Hen, Shadow Concubine wouldn’t dare ingratiate him, knowing South Nether Empress Xiyan’s jealousy had left her harem empty for centuries.
"Luo Qian" spoke with a woman’s voice, shocking Guangzi and Qin Xiaochuan.
"Imprison them with Luo Qianche. We only need to wait for Ye Lingyue’s group to fall into our trap, then all nine new city lords will be in our control."
Shadow Concubine laughed, echoed by Hong Mingyue.
"Wishing Shadow Concubine and South Nether Empress unification of Ancient Nine Provinces."
Guangzi and Qin Xiaochuan were imprisoned.
Male and female cells were separate in the City Lord’s Mansion, forcing Guangzi apart from Qin Xiaochuan.
"Get in!"
Demon soldiers admonished, pushing Guangzi into the cell.
A heavy lock clicked behind her; Guangzi entered a dim, damp cell.
Not being a Martial Artist, Guangzi wasn’t shackled. Upon entering, a musty odor greeted her, noticing Luo Qianche, Young City Lord of Shui City, in the corner.
Luo Qianche’s recent ordeals left her in agony.
Her father suddenly became a Sky Demon of the Demon Clan; her emotions plunged into despair.
She remained lost in her melancholy until Guangzi’s arrival roused her.
Seeing Guangzi, Luo Qianche was startled.
"How did you end up here? Were Ye Lingyue and the others captured too? It’s all over now."
Thinking Ye Lingyue and her group hadn’t survived Shadow Concubine’s wrath, Luo Qianche felt helpless, sinking to the damp floor.
"What’s happened in the city? What’s the background of the woman possessing Luo Qian?"
Expecting Guangzi to cry upon confinement, Luo Qianche was surprised as Guangzi helped her up, calmly questioned her.
"She’s a Sky Demon of the Demon Clan named Shadow Concubine. How she possessed my father’s body, I don’t know... Wait, your voice?"
Luo Qianche suddenly sensed something amiss, glancing at Guangzi.
Her intuition realized Guangzi was different.
"Couldn’t quite fool you."
"Guangzi" smiled, revealing a beautiful face beneath the veil.
Even in the dim cell, her face was exceptionally striking.
Red lips, New Moon Eyes, subtly smiling, alluring yet cold gazes presented not Guangzi, but Ye Lingyue in disguise.
Luo Qianche was astounded seeing Ye Lingyue.
"No need for shock. It’s a long story, but time’s tight. You must quickly tell me the details. Where are the other new city lords?"
Upon infiltrating Shui City, Ye Lingyue realized the situation was far graver than she expected.
She noticed the City Lord’s Mansion was engulfed in Demon Energy, surrounded by demon soldiers, with city lords missing.
Luo Qianche stared at Ye Lingyue, overwhelmed with emotion.
As rivals and competitors, Luo Qianche had always resented—never expecting to ally with Ye Lingyue.
"Why hesitate? Remember, you possess Water God Bloodline."
Ye Lingyue’s words persuaded Luo Qianche to set aside grievances and collaborate with her to address Shui City’s major crisis.
