Chapter 1280: Chapter 340: Luo Yi’s Betrayal

Seeing the runes appear on the Jade Bone Demon, Ye Lingyue suddenly realized.

No wonder she couldn’t find the Puppet Book; the cunning Jade Bone Demon had stolen the Puppet Book from the City Lord’s Mansion and inscribed it on its own body.

In this way, no matter how hard others looked, they couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Puppet Book.

Puff, puff.

As the Jade Bone Demon activated the power of the Puppet Book on its body.

Inside this demonic power restriction, one after another, human-shaped soldiers appeared.

"With this restriction here, only my people can enter. I advise you not to fight like a cornered beast and obediently become my spirit puppet. A spirit puppet cultivating both spiritual power and mutated reincarnation power, hehe, once I refine you into a spirit puppet, I will have the strength to rival the Demon King."

The Jade Bone Demon laughed recklessly.

Ye Lingyue looked around.

If all the human-shaped soldiers and Vajra attacked her together, even she wouldn’t be able to manage, but Situ Nan was someone she had to kill.

In a desperate situation, it seemed necessary to use those three-legged birdman warriors inside Hong Meng Heaven.

Just as Ye Lingyue hesitated.

Suddenly, the demonic power restriction violently trembled, as if someone had hit it hard with a big stick.

The smile on the Jade Bone Demon’s face instantly froze.

Immediately afterward, the demonic power restriction shuddered again, and this time, it was evidently much weaker.

"Tsk, truly troublesome, this broken restriction, let this young master break it!"

At the perimeter of the demonic power restriction, Di Shen hovered, his gaze fiery.

As he suddenly inhaled, as if accepting all rivers, the spherical demonic power restriction, its demonic power was like mist, being slowly absorbed by Di Shen into his abdomen.

Di Shen discovered earlier that the demonic power restriction couldn’t be broken by force, so he tried a different approach.

He used the method of devouring, bit by bit, to consume the demonic power restriction.

With a loud roar from Di Shen, the demonic power restriction collapsed, and the rampant demonic power was completely absorbed by Di Shen without leaving a trace.

At the moment the demonic power restriction disintegrated, Situ Nan inside looked pale.

Its already pale skull revealed a look worse than death.

"Impossible, you, are you also a demon?"

Only a demon can forcibly devour the demonic power of the Demon Clan, and between demons, unless the other’s cultivation and demonic power far surpass your own, can you devour their demonic power.

Earlier, the Jade Bone Demon clearly tested and found nothing demonic about Di Shen.

But now, what was the demonic power enveloping his whole body?

First, the Glazed Demon Fire was devoured, and then his own demonic power restriction was consumed entirely.

The Jade Bone Demon’s mind was blank at this moment.

What kind of monsters did it provoke? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Ignorant little demon, I don’t know who you serve, but next time you plot against the young master, remember to open your eyes wide, some people you can never afford to irritate."

Di Shen showed his bared teeth, and with a sudden sound, like an Outer Heaven Meteor, his figure plummeted.

A heavy punch carried violent demonic power, with a loud bang.

The human-shaped soldiers were like being hit by a storm, falling over in disarray.

These human-shaped soldiers were originally refined by the Jade Bone Demon using ghost fire demonic power.

Even though Di Shen’s Demon Ancestor Power is not yet complete, as soon as his demonic power is released, it is absolutely dominant, making human-shaped soldiers before him nothing more than paper tigers, completely negligible.

"Wife, dealing with such rough creatures, leave it to me." Di Shen laughed, step by step pressing forward toward the Jade Bone Demon, as he walked, he clenched his fists, making a sound like beans popping.

The Jade Bone Demon retreated step by step, until it could retreat no further.

Bang!

Suddenly, a strange force mingled with violent thunderstorm power descended from the sky, striking toward Di Shen.

"!"

Di Shen and Ye Lingyue were both startled, Di Shen swiftly moved, dodging in time, as stone chips scattered across the ground.

A figure darted with astonishing speed.

It grabbed the Jade Bone Demon and fled.

"Leave the person behind."

As Di Shen spoke those words, the figure turned back, it was Luo Yi.

Lightning flashed around her body, she suddenly launched several thunderstrikes at Di Shen.

Seeing Luo Yi, the Jade Bone Demon was full of joy.

"Luo Yi, I order you, take me away immediately."

Luo Yi nodded and amidst Di Shen being forced back by the thunderstrikes, she ghostly escaped into the sky.

Di Shen’s gaze turned sharp, as demonic marks faintly appeared on his face, dragon scales appearing on his iron arms, yet in his rage, he triggered the Ancient Dragon Blood within him.

"Di Shen, do not harm Luo Yi." Ye Lingyue’s voice shouted, stopping Di Shen.

Di Shen paused, suppressing the agitation in his heart.

In the sky, there was not a trace of Luo Yi and the Jade Bone Demon.

Ye Lingyue’s face was also full of complexity.

"Ling Yue, Di Shen, what happened?"

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Qin Xiaochuan and others who had dispersed most of the crowd came over.

"Luo Yi took the Jade Bone Demon and escaped."

Ye Lingyue sighed, looking at the last Soul Loss Needle left on the ground when the Jade Bone Demon fled.

"What? Luo Yi really did that? It’s impossible, just now when we were in the prison, for safety we didn’t release her. We even told Luo Yi about Senior Brother Xue Zhong’s affair, how could she even at this moment still want to save the Jade Bone Demon, how can she face Senior Brother Xue Zhong."

Qin Xiaochuan and Huang Jun were both extremely frustrated upon hearing this.

"This matter cannot be blamed on Luo Yi. She was struck by the six Soul Loss Needles from the Jade Bone Demon, her consciousness is incomplete, and in her mind, the Jade Bone Demon is her only master. It’s a pity, I don’t know where the last Soul Loss Needle from the Jade Bone Demon is embedded in her acupoint. Otherwise, if we find Luo Yi, perhaps there is still a chance to save her."

Ye Lingyue bit her teeth tightly.

Yet, she always felt that Luo Yi was somewhat strange.

She was different from those spirit puppets completely controlled by the Jade Bone Demon; she clearly still had her own thinking ability, but why at this moment does she still want to save the Jade Bone Demon, is it possible that Luo Yi is truly beyond salvation?

"Wife, you’ve done your best. That Jade Bone Demon belongs to the Demon Clan, mixing in Gold City, it surely harbors ill intentions, and behind it, there should be other members from the Demon Clan, I’m afraid this concerns a shocking conspiracy. The urgent task now is to join forces with City Lord Yang and quickly hunt down Luo Yi and the Jade Bone Demon, only by finding them can we prevent the conspiracy."

Di Shen saw Ye Lingyue still blaming herself, and quickly comforted her.

"Well said, everyone, this incident in Gold City, really owes a lot to you. If not for you, Gold City and I would surely be doomed. I will immediately order the guards in the city to hunt down Situ Nan and Luo Yi."

Speaking of which, City Lord Yang came over with the help of Senior Sister Wan Yun.
