your guidance. I know what to do now."The old butler chuckled lightly and nodded: "Miss Mu, our young master trusts you. You should still say what you need to say. I remind you, it's just that I hope...This expert has always been acting crazy and evasive, not being clear about many things and delaying explanations. This makes us wary of him, so when unexpected situations arise, we instinctively become cautious.

He made a move, and my brother and I both instinctively reacted with caution. We reflexively took half a step back towards Jiang Qiyun and Bai WuChang.

And that silent, suspended monster suddenly flapped its wings and pounced, directly landing on Zheng expert's face. Several long claws firmly dug into his facial skin, and it turned its head to jab at the back of Zheng expert's neck.

It all happened in the blink of an eye. Our attention was focused on Bai Yinsu, while Zheng Zhuan was on guard. Coupled with the fact that the demonic beast hovered so close, there was simply no time to react.

"Rise..." I anxiously clenched Jiang Qiyun's sleeve.

He should be able to save Zheng the expert, right

Who knew that Jiang Qi, with a barely perceptible shake of his head, had moved It was subtle, but I felt it.

He glanced at me, his eyes sharp with a hint of warning gentleness.

Bai Wu Chang, in his white robes with large sleeves, covered his mouth and slightly bent over, whispering behind me, "The Demon Lord is unwilling to communicate with us. He's so silent that it's difficult to get anything out of him. Perhaps we could set a trap for him It might be easier to track him that way... It wouldn't be difficult for the Underworld's messengers to track a living person..."

But...won't this kill him

Although I don't have a good feeling about Zheng the expert, he's still alive.

To suddenly become a controlled zombie is too horrifying.

Chen was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. She saw Zheng, the expert, standing with his hands down and head bowed, slowly becoming like a zombie. She was so scared that tears streamed down her face.

I saw her lips trembling, just about to comfort her, when she trembled and said in a shaky voice: "Quickly, quickly let go of my teacher, I'll do anything for you!"

"—Shh!" My brother wished he could jump over and cover Chen Ruo's mouth.

In the demon's law, a contract is life and death.

Look at our Archie, look at Zheng the expert who was pulled under by money. They probably just nodded and agreed casually back then.

The result was dragged into the quagmire, it's hard to get out! Maybe only death can bring peace.

In this world, people chase fame and fortune. They make promises with their lips but forget them as quickly as they made them. Where is the concept of keeping one's word

Ahh—

The demonic beast suddenly drew out a needle-like snout, charging towards Chen Ru. The tip of the snout was still dripping with blood.

This time we were prepared, I drew out my Zi Xiao Ruyi and formed a long blade with the sword formula. Before I could bring it down, my brother casually caught the flying monster with his衝鋒衣.

"Oh ho ho~~~ Elder brother, this cyber bug's skills are so refined, he must have spent his youth on rooftops and trees, stealing bird nests, eh" Bai Wuchang said with a smirk.

"Don't joke around, Qiye—" My brother exclaimed.

How could that monstrous insect be restrained by a mere piece of clothing The barbed claws on its feet ripped through the thin windbreaker with astonishing speed.

Before I could swing my sword at the monstrous creature, a flash of white light, like snow, streaked past me.

With a sharp, crisp sound that caught us off guard, we were all stunned.

Bai Wuchang drew out a soul-calling scroll from his sleeve. His movements were swift as lightning, light and delicate like a dragonfly's wings, gently pressing the monstrous worm onto the ground.

The giant worm lay on the ground, resembling a dying, mutated mosquito, its long legs trembling slightly but unable to move any longer.

Ba Wu Chang's sudden move, weighing four ounces yet capable of moving a thousand pounds, left us all dumbfounded.

"Seven, Seven Ye... Can this letter still be used as a mosquito swatter" My brother's mouth twitched with a strange smile.

.... Electric mosquito swatter.

I almost couldn't hold it in and peeked at Bai Wu Chang. His evil phoenix eyes twitched slightly, covering his mouth with a smile as he said, "Oh my oh my~ Little god has no sword or blade, there's no clash of swords against the Demon Lord, is there~"

"You're quite the formidable force with that electric mosquito swatter... how come even the Underworld gods fear that Demon Lord" My brother asked in a hushed voice.

Bai Wu Chang covered his mouth and muttered in a low voice, "…After all, he is the Demon King bestowed by the Taishang Yuanyuan Huang Da Daojun. I can't afford to move my troops around, ~~"

We hid behind Jiang Qiyun, whispering to each other. The Yin Su Bai across from us ignored our actions completely. He said coldly, "Since you agreed, then it's up to you to do it. Either fulfill my request, or... die."

"Damn, that's too unreasonable! Chen Ruo is just a little girl, she hasn't given you any benefits from her films, uh oh..." My brother couldn't help but speak up for her, before being silenced by Bai Wu with a wave of his sleeve.

That was Bai Wu Chang! My brother shivered so violently from the cold, he almost bit his tongue.

"Shh... the rules of the demon realm are best left unsaid." He told us to be quiet.

However, Yin Su Bai didn't intend to let us go. His gaze turned to Jiang Qiyun: "Northern Emperor, this is the Human Realm. It's neither my Demon Realm nor your Underworld. They were originally unrelated, but right now, I need Mu Xia Qiao as a guarantee."

"Huh" What guarantee could I possibly offer

"No, no, I get goosebumps just looking at these corpses..." I hurriedly waved my hand to refuse.

"What guarantee" Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly: "The Queen of the Underworld is not your subordinate, you can command her at will."

"Hmph... you've done it. You control the tracking beasts, this woman is under your care. If within three days she doesn't give me useful answers, or attempts to escape… then I'll go to Mu Xiao Qiao and demand her." Yin Su Bai looked over at me.

This Demon Lord didn't seem to have any particular divine powers. He was looking directly at me, and I could feel his gaze, but whenever I turned my head back, I couldn't remember what he looked like, only a blurry impression remained.

"Alright, if that's your request, I can agree. But that unbalanced condition of yours—either you get your way or you die—is unreasonable. Reviving the dead is impossible. Chen Ru only said she would use some special methods to simulate facial recovery, which is already very useful information! So, as long as she recovers her appearance, you can't harm her."

I tried to explain, but I don't know if he understood.

Yin Su Bai remained silent, turning away. With a slight flick of his half-cloak, he vanished completely.

》》》

"Mu Xiaoqiao, why did you take on this matter"

On the way back, Jiang Qiyun and I sat in the back seat of the car. He frowned slightly and asked me.

"Alas, we can't see where they are, but there must be countless scouts from the Demon Realm moving about. A sense of impending doom hangs heavy in the air, and to make matters worse, this involves people from our own family. We can't just stand idly by and watch."

When it came to talking about not saving someone who was dying, I couldn't help but look back.

My brother opened the trunk of his car and wrapped Zheng, the expert, in it with ropes, fixing him to the backseat like luggage. Zheng lay in the trunk blowing in the cold wind.

But he remained in a coma, and even when they returned to the city, they could only take him to a hospital related to his condition.

Jiang Qiyun didn't reprimand me again. He pondered for a moment, then spoke in a low voice: "Yin Su Bai is so restrained, yet he was willing to pay the price to walk the mortal world... This corpse is very likely related to him, and he doesn't know its origins or life story... Probably there's a gap in the information somewhere."

My brother glanced at us in the rearview mirror, smirking and saying, "According to Grandpa Seven, this Demon Lord hasn't appeared in the world for eight hundred years. I guess his followers must have all died out over those eight hundred years, right Or maybe their descendants, apprentices, or successors are all gone, and the lineage has been broken."

"What happened eight hundred years ago" I curiously looked at Jiang Qiyun
