My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 8 Demon King? A Human Sword Immortal Appears!

Inside the teahouse, when Gu Lan heard these words, his eyes flashed with a chill as he gradually fell into contemplation.

Thinking about silencing me?

Heh, who do you think you are, the protagonist?

Gu Lan calmly sipped his tea, his thoughts spinning in his mind.

"It seems like today, there's no way I can avoid it. But... what if I don't?"

Heavenly Sword Sect persecuted loyal subjects, colluding with demons to slaughter the people!

Influenced by the ideals of the original host who served the country, Gu Lan spoke with some anger.

Moreover, Duan Xiao's attitude was so disgusting. A minor antagonist who couldn't even qualify as a small fry, should I just kill him?

Gu Lan thought, the Female Emperor inexplicably confiscated Cai Yu's assets and put them into the national treasury last time, intercepting a big wave of resources from the protagonist!

Afterward, the world's story didn't undergo much change...

Gu Lan wouldn't engage in adventures or act pretentious, but this kind of amazing bargain was almost certain... why should he leave them for the protagonist?

Besides, to be honest, Gu Lan was quite tempted by that phoenix egg!

...

At this moment, Duan Xiao, confident and arrogant, stared at Wu Feng.

"Kid, I know you have an engraved stone. Destroy it now, and I might let you choose a painless death!"

The engraved stone was a peculiar item in this world.

It had video recording capabilities and could store footage for a long time.

However, opening the footage or destroying its content required the soul power of the recorder. Others couldn't do anything unless their cultivation reached the immortal realm.

To prevent the engraved stone from falling into the Female Emperor's hands after Wu Feng's death, Duan Xiao had to use more words.

"Hehe, dream on!" Wu Feng's eyes gradually turned bloodshot, filled with a sense of tragedy.

"If you want to kill me, come on! Even if I die, the footage in that stone will forever reveal the dirty deeds you've done. It will be exposed to the world sooner or later!"

Roaring out his grievances, Wu Feng didn't retreat but instead advanced, raising his knife against Duan Xiao.

At the same time, he shouted to the surrounding crowd, "I'll hold them back. Quickly escape! Make sure to spread the word about today and let the capital know!"

Swish! Before his words could fully resonate, the swords of several death warriors had already cut through Wu Feng, causing blood to stain the streets.

The surrounding commoners, awakened to the danger, with red eyes, began to flee into the alleys.

"Heavenly Sword Sect colludes with demons, deserving to die!"

"Quick, go! Don't let Young Warrior Wu die in vain!"

The Demon King, enduring the destruction of his body by the Sword Qi, gradually descended. His human form couldn't be maintained any longer, and a blood-stained fox appeared in front of everyone.

The fox crouched on the ground, completely devoid of the fierce aura it had moments ago, and began to plead in a low voice.

"Sword Immortal senior, I didn't mean to offend you. Everything today was instigated by the Heavenly Sword Sect. If you're willing, I can leave now... and maybe help you get rid of them!"

This fox is quite understandably, and it wants to bargain!

Duan Xiao was dumbfounded.

"Fox Lord... what are you saying!"

"Shut up! If it weren't for you, would I have encountered a sword immortal?"

The Demon King, in a sorry state, spat out a black bead. In an instant, a demonic spirit flew out, devouring the young master of Heavenly Sword Sect and leaving behind nothing but bones.

The onlookers, including the commoners and Wu Feng, were all stunned.

The intimidation of a sword immortal was terrifying. It directly forced the Demon King to betray his companion.

Gu Lan was delighted to see this unexpected turn of events. He hadn't expected the sword immortal to bring such a show.

Dog-eat-dog, joyful!

"Let's see if this sword immortal will show up. If I could know their name, perhaps the original work mentioned them..."

Gu Lan continued to wait, but the mysterious sword immortal outside had yet to reveal themselves.

Naturally, the sword immortal was the Female Emperor, Mu Yuyan.

If she didn't witness it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that the demons would be so audacious, invading the territory of Langzhou and massacring the people of Jing.

Mu Yuyan's expression was extremely cold. She pinched her sword art, and three golden Sword Qi condensed again.

The brilliance was even more dazzling than before, indicating that she didn't intend to let the Demon King off.

The Demon King, realizing the impending danger, repeatedly cried out, "You can't kill me! I'm a apprentice of the Holy Demon Palace. If you dare to kill me... the seniors of the Palace will pursue you endlessly!"

Hearing this, the Female Emperor chuckled lightly. How could she have not anticipated the relationship between Great Jing, the Holy Demon Palace, and even the entire demon realm before she took the action? And that was also why she didn't reveal her identity beside being the Sword Immortal.

Without any evidence, who in the demon realm dared to directly blame her?

Sword in hand!

The golden brilliance dazzled!

Faced with a life-or-death situation, the Demon King chose to fight to the death. He spat out a black bead, colliding with the Sword Qi.

In the next moment, the Sword Qi vanished, but the bead indeed managed to block the Sword Immortal's three strikes!

Gu Lan's eyes lit up. "Unexpected! A king-level demon can use this to block a Sword Immortal's attack... What kind of treasure is this?"

Meanwhile, the Demon King, using the bead as a cover, took the opportunity to burn his essence blood and escape towards the sky.
