Chapter 344 - Little Black Missing (1/2)

“Alright, alright!” Does your Demon King know that all of you concede defeat so easily? He expected a fight in any case, and didn’t expect that once Shen Ying came out, they gave themselves up immediately. How big was the trauma from last time?

“Release the disciples first!”

“Yes, yes!” The Skyfiends nodded hard like chickens eating grains. They hurried to wave towards the demons behind them, “Hurry up and send… oh, invite, them down!”

Only then did the demon army escort down that row of disciples who were originally meant as hostages.

Lonemoon counted and realized the disciples caught by them were only a few dozen. His heart sank, “What about the others?”

“Elder, they are still at the Demon Palace.” a disciple answered.

His face darkened, and turned to glance at the nine still kneeling, and saw that they shook even more severely.

“That… I… We don’t know about it too. They were all captured by the Demon King with arrays.”

Lonemoon frowned, glanced at the disciples in front of him and gave Yi Qing a look. “Chef, I’ll bring them in first, you and Shen Ying trap those outside.”

“Hmm.” Yi Qing nodded and went right up to set an array, trapping the whole demon army in their original position. The arrays he made were of the dragon clan, and naturally the demons could not break out of them. He turned around, took the nine Skyfiends and went back.

When they reached the back palace, those disciples were already tended to. Most of them were badly hurt, and some had even injured their immortal bones. Fortunately, there was no shortage of elixirs in the sect, and they only needed more time to rest. Lonemoon was more worried about those who had not returned.

“Say it, what is that happened in the Demon World?” Lonemoon, Shen Ying and Chef sat at the dining table and looked towards the nine Skyfiends, who knelt down obediently once more in front of them.

The nine looked at one another, and all of them shook their heads. “We are also not sure. We haven’t seen Li Yin since several months ago.”

“Who’s Li Yin?” The three were stunned for a moment.

“Demon King Little Black, it is,” The nine hurried to explain.

“…” Uh, they had been so used to calling Little Black that they forgot that he had a name. “What happened to him?”

“The last time we saw former Demon King Li Yin was when he commanded the whole Demon Palace to get the dowry prepared within three months.

So Little Little Black was actually quite sincere towards Yu Hong.

“Wait, dowry?” Lonemoon was stunned. Isn’t it supposed to be bride price?

Healing the disciples at one side, Lan Hua’s mouth twitched, and he suddenly said, “Because Yu Hong told him, Kindness and both of you were not around, she would not marry over, so…”

“So he planned to come here?” Lonemoon was speechless. Little Black was quite serious about getting married indeed. It seemed that the previous Demon King also ran away with his wife? Are all Demon Kings so irresponsible? How could he have suddenly felt a little worried about the future of demons?

“And after that?”

“When we finish preparing and went to notify him, we couldn’t find him in the whole demon palace, as if… he had suddenly vanished.”

“What about the new Demon King now, then?”

“The new Demon King also suddenly appeared in the Demon World. We have no idea of his past. His cultivation level is high, and the combined force of us ten Skyfiends was not enough to defeat him.” The nine continued to explain. “According to the rules of demons, he was indeed qualified to become the Demon King. At first we wanted to notify Invincible Sect regarding the disappearance of Demon King Li… Little Black, but the new Demon King said there was no need for such troubles, and we could just go ahead with the marriage. He also said he was going to come personally to explain to lady Little Hong. We didn’t expect that…”

That he directly kidnapped Yu Hong, and severely injured Lan Hua who went after them, drawing the whole sect to the Demon Palace.

The nine looked up at Shen Ying meekly and continued, “We thought at first… that this new Demon King only took a liking to lady Yu Hong, too. We didn’t expect that he would actually directly attack Bo Sea Shen Ying.”

Others also nodded, and they started complaining.
