Chapter 438 – Just an Insect from the Divine Realm
A thousand miles from Evernight Sovereign City
The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Domain’s demon army marched forward in a grand procession.
Dozens of demon steeds pulled a magnificent and palatial carriage located in the center of the army.
Xujian Kongling sat inside the carriage, propping his cheek on his hand, his expression as indolent as a peerless king.
The feeling of sitting in the carriage made him recall once more the time when he similarly led an army to wage war across the Demon Realm.
After such a long time, this feeling was exceptionally nostalgic.
Creak.
The advancing wheels slowly ground to a halt; the Northern Domain army suddenly stopped their march in unison.
A stunning and cold, beautiful figure slowly landed in front of the crowd.
Upon seeing this person’s appearance, the various clan heads of the Northern Domain looked terrified, cold sweat rolling down their foreheads.
Among the hundreds of thousands of troops, not a single person dared to take another step forward without permission.
Xujian Kongling knit his brows slightly, slowly stood up, pulled aside the curtain, and stepped out.
He saw the cold-faced Yue Qingyou, maintaining an elegant and dignified posture as she stood quietly before the Northern Domain army.
“Hmph~ I thought the Demon Lord had arrived, but it turns out to be just a woman.”
“I wonder if This Lord is being underestimated, or if the current Demon Lord has grown muddled.”
“To send only a woman to block This Lord and these hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Domain.”
Xujian Kongling’s playful expression revealed a deep sense of dissatisfaction.
Back when he was waging war across the Demon Realm, no one had ever dared to stand alone in front of him.
Now, he was being blocked by a woman!
He felt as though he was being slighted, which made him extremely displeased!
Could it be that Mo Di and the others were more powerful than him?!
To send a woman to deal with him!
“Not just anyone is qualified to be Lord Demon Lord’s opponent.”
“At the very least, an insect like you is not yet qualified to stand before the Lord Demon Lord.”
Hearing Xujian Kongling’s disparagement of Ning Yechen, Yue Qingyou knit her brows slightly, replying coldly with sharp words.
Xujian Kongling’s eyes narrowed slightly, an endless killing intent already manifesting in his gaze and from his body.
A mere woman actually dared to speak so mockingly and slight him!
“All of you, kill her for This Lord!”
Xujian Kongling ordered the several Northern Domain clan heads beside the carriage.
The various clan heads were startled.
They turned to look at Yue Qingyou standing before them, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads as they silently gulped.
That was the Word-Spirit Death God famous throughout the Demon Realm…!
Cruel and merciless in slaughter, never showing any leniency!
A death god who could cause tens of thousands to die tragically with just a single word!
“Listen, all of you.”
“If your actions today are out of forced helplessness, I can forgive your sins.”
“But if you truly defy the Lord Demon Lord and intend to rebel…”
“You! Including everyone in the Northern Domain! Shall all atone with your deaths!”
“You will be subjected to the ultimate penalty for the crime of treason!”
Yue Qingyou’s beautiful eyes coldly observed the Northern Domain crowd, delivering her final mercy to them.
She had already heard the report on the situation from Shadow.
Xujian Jun had not betrayed the Lord Demon Lord; the Northern Domain was merely being held under the control of the Xujian Ancestor.
The people of the Northern Domain were basically being forced to comply.
Therefore, she could give the people of the Northern Domain a chance, but the premise was that the people of the Northern Domain truly had no intention of defying the Lord Demon Lord in their hearts!
Once the Northern Domain crowd showed the slightest bit of disrespect, she would treat it as a rebellion without exception!
Everyone among the hundreds of thousands of Northern Domain troops heard Yue Qingyou’s words.
They looked at each other, cold sweat soaking their backs, fear rising in their hearts.
Who in the Demon Realm did not know of Yue Qingyou’s fearsome reputation…?!
No one was willing or dared to become her enemy!
After several moments of deliberation, the various clan heads had already reached a decision in their hearts.
After exchanging glances, everyone remained silent and stood in place, having no intention of taking action.
Everyone had already heard the message Xujian Jun had conveyed to them through Xujian Yan.
To stay alive and preserve the Northern Domain, they absolutely must not take action against anyone in the Demon Realm, let alone become enemies with the Lord Demon Lord and the Lord Left Guardian!
Seeing that the crowd ignored his order, Xujian Kongling’s brows furrowed, and he instantly became enraged.
What was the meaning of this?
The crowd would rather defy his orders than dare to lay a hand on this woman?!
As the second-generation Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, his authority and commands were actually inferior to a woman who wasn’t even a Demon Lord?!
“You fear her, but do you not fear This Lord?!”
Xujian Kongling questioned those few clan heads in a cold voice.
“Lord Ancestor, that lady is the Demon Lord’s Left Guardian; her strength is exceptionally terrifying…!”
“The Northern Domain cannot become her enemy! Please, we urge you to think twice!”
One of the clan heads summoned his courage to advise Xujian Kongling.
The next second, the void where he stood split open, and he was directly dismembered by a void rift on the spot!
Seeing this, the others around them looked horrified and retreated repeatedly.
“Trash!”
Xujian Kongling coldly glanced at the corpse on the ground and turned to look at the others.
“Whoever is willing to take action for This Lord, the position of Northern Domain Lord will belong to them afterward!”
Crowd: “…”
The crowd fell silent; still, not a single person dared to stand forward.
Xujian Jun saw this, and his expression grew increasingly cold.
“It seems This Lord has been gone for too long; the Northern Domain is now left with nothing but a pile of trash and cowards!”
“Forget it! This Lord will kill her personally!”
“Then you will know who you should listen to!”
Xujian Kongling’s cold gaze turned toward Yue Qingyou, and he casually snapped his fingers with a crisp sound.
In the next second, the void where Yue Qingyou stood suddenly split open!
However, the scene of being dismembered by a void rift, which should have happened, did not occur.
At the moment the void split, Yue Qingyou slowly took a step back, precisely and elegantly avoiding the fractured void!
A trace of surprise flashed through Xujian Kongling’s eyes, which then gradually turned into a smile.
With his exquisite Void Secret Arts, splitting the void happened almost in an instant!
Ordinary people would be dismembered on the spot by the void rift without even noticing or reacting!
Yet, in the split second his void rift opened just now, this woman sensed the fluctuations of the void and avoided it in advance!
No wonder the people of the Northern Domain all fear this woman!
Her strength is truly extraordinary!
Xujian Kongling’s eyes narrowed slightly as his palm lightly plucked at the void. In an instant, several void blades from between his fingers sliced through the void, slashing toward Yue Qingyou at extreme speed!
“Va·nish!”
Yue Qingyou showed an air of disdain; her eyelids lowered slightly as she spoke indifferently.
As her voice fell, the fierce void blades gradually faded while in flight until they completely dissipated!
Seeing this, Xujian Kongling’s expression filled with shock.
“So it is a rare Word-Spirit user…!”
“Although a Word-Spirit user can command the laws of heaven and earth to kill invisibly with words, it ultimately consumes too much of one’s own spiritual energy.”
“Even if you possess the cultivation of a Transcendent Immortal, you will be no match for This Lord.”
Xujian Kongling regained his composure, speaking with calm confidence.
Word-Spirit users are very powerful, but their limitations are also obvious: they rely too heavily on their own spiritual energy.
Dealing with an opponent of similar strength often requires draining one’s entire spiritual energy, let alone against him, one of the Nine God Sovereigns of the Divine Realm!
Even if she exhausted her spiritual energy, it would be impossible for her to do anything to him! Xujian Kongling was certain of this in his heart.
Until he saw the bottomless, abyss-like spiritual energy erupting from Yue Qingyou!
Yue Qingyou’s cold eyes stared fixedly at Xujian Kongling; a disdainful, beautiful sneer curled on her lips, and the spiritual energy leaking from her body was as startling as a waterfall surging into the sky!
“You are merely an insect from the Divine Realm, yet you dare to be so arrogant…!”
“As for your sins of attempting to disrupt the Demon Realm and offending the Lord Demon Lord—don’t think I will let you off easily!”
She could forgive the helplessness of the Northern Domain crowd being forced to join, but she would never spare anyone who attempted to incite unrest and shatter the peace of the Demon Realm!
