My Master Disconnected Yet Again

Chapter 343: Forces from the Demon World

Just as Lonemoon going to produce a hand seal, Shen Ying suddenly stood up and dragged the person on the ground up directly. Her one hand suddenly went through Yu Hong’s chest, as though she grabbed something and dragged it out by force. Yu Hong felt relieved immediately and breathed out deeply. The suffocating feeling that had been around her heart suddenly disappeared.

“Sect master?” She looked up with some confusion and realized that something purple in Shen Ying’s hand. It concentrated in the middle of her palm like a smog.

“Shen Ying, what’s this?” Lonemoon’s eyes widened immediately. He looked at the thing in her palm. He didn’t realize that there was anything else inside their bodies during his examination just now. He turned to look at others, and even Yu Hong looked completely confused.

“This looks… like very thick Immortal Qi.” Yi Qing also frowned and looked towards that purple aura, which was surprisingly even thicker than Immortal Qi.

“Can’t it be another intruder?” Lonemoon remembered the pregnancy… uh no, the Spring of Life. He hurried to look with his assistant authority, but nothing could be seen.

“I don’t know!” Shen Ying shook her head and was just about to say something.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and as though something was activated, white light surrounded them. A giant protective screen appeared, and surrounded the whole palace.

“It’s the Protective Mountain Array!” Lan Hua’s face paled. He looked at the three and said, “Those from Demon World has chased us here.”

“Good that they come!” Lonemoon snorted. “We haven’t gone to look for them, but they came to our doorsteps themselves!”

—————

Outside the palace.

The sky was dim, and large waves of demonic Qi covered the sky above the palace. Rows of demon military surrounded the palace tightly.

In front were the ten Skyfiends. An amazing amount of demonic Qi rose from their bodies. Behind them was a row of captured Invincible Sect disciples. Their looks were wretched and seemed to be badly hurt. Some even half-knelt on the clouds, as though they no longer had the strength to stand. But their back remained straight.

The demons looked at one another, then at the palace in front of them. As though remembering something, they felt a bit afraid. Invincible Sect had probably the best relation with the demon world, and the interaction between cultivators and demons on ordinary days were quite frequent. Yet this was the order of the new demon king, and they had to carry it out. Besides, with all disciples of Invincible Sect caught, so long as they took this opportunity to take over the palace, it won’t be long before they dominated the whole Three Realms.

Thinking of that, the demons calmed down and cried right towards the palace, “Emperor Lan Hua, we have come to fetch our queen back to the palace. Please deliver the person. Once we get her, we will definitely not trouble all of you.”

No response came from the palace, and the demons were hesitating about whether to take it by force. Among the ten, there was one Skyfiend, who grew impatient waiting and suggested, “Fiend Supremacies, why bother talking with them? Their people are in our hands. Just kill a few, and they are sure to come out.”

With that said, he directly grabbed a dying disciple at his side. One hand holding his neck, he threatened loudly, “Lan Hua, you coward, don’t you think that everything is okay once you run back here. If you understand the situation, you should quickly hand over that Yu Hong. Otherwise, with every moment that passes, we will kill one of your disciples, until your whole sect had died.”

“How dare you!” As he finished talking, two white figures suddenly appeared in front of the palace. Their looks were unfamiliar and there was an amazing amount of sword qi about them.

The Skyfiends were stunned, not knowing the identity of the two for a moment. But those Invincible Sect disciples who were caught suddenly gasped, with brightened eyes, “Elder!”. It was as though they had just witnessed a miracle.

“Who are you?” The Skyfiends glanced at the two cautiously. These two were Invincible Sect disciples too, then. But isn’t Invincible Sect formed of body cultivators? Why would these two have so much Sword Qi about them.

“You are the ten Skyfiend? Right! It’s been thousands of years, it’s only normal that you don’t remember us.” Lonemoon glanced at the disciples in the air, and his look grew heavier. “But there’s someone that you are sure to remember. Shen…” He turned to call a certain person, before realizing that there was nobody behind him. Immediately, his mouth twitched, and he called towards the figure on the right side who was walking even further away, “Wait! Where’re you going? Here we are!” She got lost so easily indeed.

“Oh,” Everyone heard a lazy reply, and then some footsteps. After a while, the figure of a woman came over strolling, a half-eaten fruit in her hand.

When they recognized her look, the Skyfiends stiffened, and a sudden lightning seemed to strike in their minds. Their legs grew soft. Were… were their eyes tricking them? Were they blind?

“Sect master!” The disciples cried out in surprise. An immense brightness shone in their eyes.

“Sect master? Isn’t your sect master Lan Hua? Since when did you change a sect master?” Only the who had just been raised to Skyfiend snorted. “Never mind that. You had better give over the person, and I may spare your life. Else after we butchered… Oh!”

Before he could finish, a Skyfiend who stood beside him suddenly gave him a strong kick, almost knocking him down from the clouds.

“Fiend Kun, what are you doing!?” The new Skyfiend was angry immediately. Just as he was about to asking for his reason, like some switch had been turned on, the other Skyfiends also rushed on and started to hit him. “Wait, what are you doing? Stop… it…”

Shit, even if you don’t understand the situation, don’t look for your own death! Even if you do, don’t make us suffer with you! Remembering that injury which couldn’t properly heal after more than 500 years, they felt a pain in their bodies.

“Shut up! How can you be so impolite!”

Yes, yes. Speaking to great God like this, you are such a scum of the demon kind!”

“So annoying. The newbie is just lawless. Without giving him a lesson, I can’t stand it!”

“And he has the guts to say it’s painful? Hit him, hit him hard.”

“You’re making us demons lose face. Hit him to death, we must hit him to death!”

The Skyfiends beat that one without any hesitation, and that one cried horribly. In a while, the whole palace echoed with those demon cries.

Shen Ying, “…”

Lonemoon, “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Other confused demons, “…”

By the way, what did they actually come for?

This nine-versus-one beating continued for more than ten minutes, until a certain new Skyfiend was no longer able to make a sound, the nine finally stopped and…

… they knelt down together in front of Shen Ying and cried loudly, “Great God, we are sorry!”

Those who were energetically beating someone a moment ago suddenly started crying bitterly, and shouting heartily.

“Great God the Demon King made me do all of this.”

“Yes, Great God, we were all forced by the Demon King. We are all good demons and had never thought about attacking the immortal realm.”

“The Demon King is too unseemly, and we had no choice.”

“Yes, yes. He was still thinking of marrying lady Little Hong of the former Demon King. That’s too shameless!”

The demons cried even harder, and their bodies shook like leaves in the wind.
