Chapter 1320 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (56)
Looking through the array towards the outside of the barrier, Li Guang saw that circles of demons were surrounding the area, but they did not launch an attack.
This is waiting for a demon with high cultivation to arrive.
Soon, three dark figures broke through the clouds, accompanied by a fierce demonic wind, and landed heavily outside the barrier.
The leader, clad in black scale armor, had a rugged face with a hideous scar running from his forehead to his jaw. He was none other than the Black Bear Spirit Hei Xiao, a trusted general of the new Demon King Liao.
He held a spiked club in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly. As soon as it landed, it caused several fine cracks to appear in the ground.
"Young Master Bai Heng, the Demon King has ordered that you return with us to the Demon Clan's capital to discuss the Demon Clan's grand plan. This place is already surrounded by us, and spatial artifacts are unusable. We hope that you will be sensible enough to comply."
Hei Xiao's voice was rough and hoarse like a broken gong, and his eyes, like copper bells, were fixed on Bai Heng outside the barrier, his gaze filled with undisguised greed and coercion.
The two black bear demons behind him also drew their weapons, staring intently at the scene, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.
A cold glint flashed in Bai Heng's eyes, and the spiritual power of the Nascent Soul stage surged around him, with a foxfire already gathering at his fingertips.
Hei Xiao's strength is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He was one of the demons who had previously stirred up trouble in the human realm.
"Haha, young master, your injuries are healing quite quickly, but you still shouldn't try to fight. Otherwise, if you get hurt, your partner will surely be worried. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your partner and children."
Bai Heng subconsciously looked behind him, as if thinking of the person inside. A mixture of tenderness and struggle flashed in his eyes, and the foxfire quietly dissipated.
He slowly removed the barrier around him, feigning hesitation as he frowned, his tone carrying a hint of suppressed anger: "That scoundrel murdered my father and usurped the throne. I am irreconcilably opposed to him. How could I go back with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two more figures flashed out from behind the Black Bear Spirit. One of them was dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome face, but with a hint of sinister intent between his brows. He was none other than the strategist under Fox Unreturned—the Blue-Faced Fox.
The blue-faced fox stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow to Bai Heng, and plastered a fake smile on his face: "Young Master, you are mistaken. My lord is the old Demon King's younger brother. In terms of bloodline and seniority, he should inherit the position of the new Demon King."
The treacherous bandit has betrayed his master and usurped power, losing the hearts of the people. Our lord, mindful of the deep bond between uncle and nephew, has specially ordered us to come and assist the young master. We implore the young master to return with us to the old fox clan territory, to jointly punish the wicked and reclaim the throne.”
The two groups each held their own version of events, and tensions instantly escalated.
The black bear spirit snorted coldly and slammed his spiked club heavily on the ground: "Blue-faced fox, stop spreading your lies! The young master is the successor appointed by the old demon king. Only by submitting to my demon king can he save his life! Moreover, my demon king guarantees that after several thousand years, the new demon king will definitely let the young master Bai Heng succeed to the throne."
The Blue-Faced Fox was not to be outdone. Several streaks of blue light flew out from its sleeve, pointing directly at the Black Bear Demon's throat: "You scoundrel who harmed the old Demon King, I, the Demon Demon, have the right to kill him. How dare you act so presumptuously here!"
Bai Heng stood aside, watching the two demons fight. Unfortunately, the two demons were quite restrained and did not fight to the death, leaving him with no chance to watch the spectacle.
After the two demons had finished fighting, they threatened him to go back.
Bai Heng made it seem like he didn't want to go back and was looking for an opportunity to break through, but then a burst of laughter came from afar.
"Hahaha, Young Master Bai Heng, look who I have in my hand! No wonder you're stalling for time; you're trying to let this beauty escape, aren't you?"
The green-faced fox looked at its partner, the red-faced fox Honghua. Their fox clan was so clever; unlike this black bear spirit, who was utterly stupid.
"Ah Xing! How are you?"
"Honghua, release her immediately!"
Li Guang was wearing a pink dress and had no aggressive expression. Her hands were tied with rope, and her face showed both anxiety and innocence. She cried softly, "Aheng, go quickly and don't worry about me and the children."
The beauty shed tears, looking delicate and soft, like a harmless rabbit, causing many demons to show their pity.
The red-faced fox didn't harm the beauty in front of him; he simply grabbed her and tied her up.
"Young Master, come back with us. Now that Elder Bugui is here, we can avenge the old Demon King sooner or later."
Bai Heng seemed hesitant and helpless.
After a long silence, he said, "Alright, I'll go back to the fox clan with you."
Upon seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in the black bear spirit's eyes. With a wave of his hand, all the demons in the sky moved.
"Let's see who among you can leave. I told you, I'm on the orders of the Fang King to invite Young Master Bai Heng to the Demon Clan's capital. Does the Fox Clan intend to disobey orders?"
