Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

Chapter 86 Counterattack

In the middle of the night, the two girls dressed in black exchanged a glance, and Lian'er couldn't help but speak up, "No, you have to tell me where we're going so I can prepare in advance."

Li Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, "Don't you always carry your Gu worms with you?"

"How did you know?" Lian'er covered her chest warily. "You're not going to sell my Gu worms, are you?!"

As Li Yang walked out the door, she seemed to remember something and turned back. "By the way, do you ever hang upside down on the wall?"

"what?"

Li Yang waved her hand, "Forget it, you should have your own ways of protecting yourself, so I, a mere spirit master, don't need to worry about you."

Lian'er was speechless and followed her outside with trepidation.

……

A lonely forest.

Li Yang led her to the bottom of the cave.

"Isn't this Jilin? What are you doing bringing me here so late at night?" Lian'er looked around, waiting for her answer. When she turned around, she found that Li Yang had disappeared, and her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Wait for me!"

Lian'er followed suit and flew up. As soon as she entered the cave, a chill mixed with some indescribable smell rushed towards her.

"Huh, what—uh!"

She had barely opened her mouth when Li Yang covered it, pressing her against the wall in a low voice, "Don't be too loud, we're here to do something bad!"

"As for the smell, it should be the smell of dead people. Stay close behind me, or you might end up becoming one of them."

Li Yang walked ahead, and Lian'er rubbed her arms as she followed, cautiously looking around.

Good heavens, what kind of place is this?!

"Screw rustle..."

Suddenly, a sound of sand and mud scraping against the ground came from deep within the cave. Li Yang immediately turned around and pulled Lian'er back. After reaching a corner, she instructed, "Someone's coming. Let's split up and hide!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she watched as Li Yang brandished her claws, raised her large tail, leaped up, and then hung firmly on the top of the cave.

So, hanging upside down means this?

The sound grew closer, and Li Yang looked down to find Lian'er still standing there. She lowered her voice and called out, "What are you standing there for? Look at my skinny arms and legs, how am I supposed to take care of you? Hurry up and find a place to hide!"

Lian'er's lips twitched slightly, and she resignedly stood in the corner. Li Yang thought she was going to put on a show of burying her head in the sand, but then a dense swarm of black insects suddenly surged up from the ground and enveloped Lian'er. In the darkness, she blended perfectly with the rock wall.

Li Yang: See? How could the little princess of a family of sorcerers not have any means of self-defense! It turns out the little girl carries so many Gu worms; she's about to make a big splash!

Only after the four stiff, ashen-faced people had walked away and disappeared did Lian'er retract the Gu worms. She looked up and angrily pointed at Li Yang, "Why didn't you tell me there were evil people in this godforsaken place!"

After landing nimbly, Li Yang blinked. This was the lair of the evil race; it would be strange if there were no evil people here.

But he smiled innocently and said, "Maybe I was just passing by..."

Lian'er snorted and continued walking forward with her. Li Yang secretly glanced at her. This child actually believed it. She's too easy to fool!

Next, they encountered several more groups of evil people. Lian'er was about to explode, pulling her hair. "Li Yang! Tell me, where could we pass by so many evil people? There aren't this many people in the entire Fengyang Kingdom!"

Li Yang lowered her eyes and then raised them again, her voice cold, "Those short, evil people are demons."

The air fell silent for a moment. Lian'er tugged at her skirt, a little embarrassed. "Sorry... but you're not the Demon King, why are you so concerned? Wait... I just asked you a question!"

After glancing at her, Li Yang's expression returned to calm. He led her silently through a huge stone door, and before she could even see her surroundings, she pulled her behind a screen.

Lian'er glanced through the crack outside, and in that one glance, she finally knew where Li Yang had brought her.

The area outside was teeming with evil people, and several evil shadows hovered around the main seat, seemingly guarding them.

Li Yang!! You actually brought me to the evil clan's lair!!

Lian'er glared at her, her fiery eyes silently screaming!

Li Yang gently rubbed her head to comfort her, then whispered in her ear, "How many Gu worms did you bring? There are probably over a thousand evil people here."

Lian'er angrily slapped her hand away. No wonder so many evil people appeared in this godforsaken place. It turned out that Li Yang had directly led her into the evil people's lair!

Her tone was stiff. "Not many, just over five hundred."

"They can all burrow into the human body?"

Lian'er rolled her eyes. "If a Gu worm can't burrow into a person's body, what's the point of it?"

"Very good." Li Yang licked his lips. "I'll point where you want to hit, and you can hit wherever I point."

"what?"

Before Lian'er could react, the cave suddenly shook violently, and the evil shadows floating in the air exchanged information before rushing out at the same time!

Good, last time they let that invading human escape, this time they won't let that person go again!

The outside quieted down again. Li Yang patted Lian'er on the shoulder and brazenly led her to jump onto the stone gate. From this vantage point, there were even more evil people.

Why are these evil people standing still?

“Because these evil beings act like puppets, following orders.” Li Yang’s eyes swept around. “The first one in the first row, have your Gu worm burrow into its throat.”

"The second one, the left arm."

"The third one, the ankle."

"The third one in the second row, the nose."

"Number..."

Lian'er threw out the Gu worms as she was instructed, but the speed at which the Gu worms spoke increased so much that Lian'er could no longer keep up.

"Slow down your shouts! I need to implant the instructions into the Gu worms before throwing them out. I can't remember them if you shout so fast!"

Li Yang pouted, "If you tell me to slow down, I'll lose all my enthusiasm."

That's what she said, but she still slowed down her speech.

After releasing about a hundred of them, Lian'er suppressed her temper and said, "When are we going to start? I can't control so many Gu worms at the same time."

Li Yang turned her gaze to her, her tone teasing, "Oh, I thought our Jiang Yu's little princess was quite capable. How many Gu worms could she control at once?"

"Me!" Lian'er clenched her fists, gritting her teeth as she said, "Five hundred is no problem!"

Li Yang smiled slightly. After lighting five hundred Gu worms, Lian'er's lips had turned pale. Li Yang supported her waist and quietly lowered her down.

Before Lian'er could say anything, several cold pills were suddenly stuffed into her mouth, melting instantly.

As she felt her spiritual energy gradually replenishing, Lian'er's ears turned slightly red. She heard Li Yang's voice whispering in her ear, "You can give orders to your Gu worms now."

Lian'er nodded, bit her fingertip, drew a strange pattern on her palm with her blood, and then threw it out, "Go!"

The stone door behind them slowly closed, and the five hundred evil beings struggled for a while before turning into dust in an instant.

After they left, the returning evil shadow opened the door and emitted a sharp explosion.

After the two ran out of the cave, a golden light flew back into Li Yang's wrist.

"You...so you were the one who caused all the commotion outside!" Lian'er exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing special, just a diversionary tactic."

Half an hour later, Dong Xiubei received the news and coughed up a mouthful of blood. With a dark face, he called Xia Lin and Sha Yi over and scolded them.

……

At this time, in the Kingdom of Yun'an.

"Your Excellency, you go first, I'll cover your retreat!"

A ruined city, shrouded in darkness, where, upon closer inspection, one could see several pairs of menacing eyes watching them through the dark mist.

Ji Cang remained calm, gently squeezing his newly returned left hand. "We can't escape; we have no choice but to fight."

Gui Luo looked anxious. "But if we're late, we'll miss the palace banquet!"
