Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 62 Leng Xiao: I'll do anything you ask as long as you can save Sister Yue!
"Shh-!"

As the forbidden magic of the moonlit night was completed, the enormous purple moon behind her suddenly expanded and materialized at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye!
Finally, under the horrified gazes of Chu Zichen and his companions, as well as countless demons, it transformed into the cross-section of a colossal pillar that reached the heavens and the earth!
The pillar is densely engraved with countless moon phase patterns of various shapes—full moon, first quarter moon, last quarter moon... Each moon phase flows with a different, yet equally vast, purple moonlight.

Moon Demon Pillar!

The forbidden magic spell cast by the moonlit night summoned the projection of the Moon Demon God Pillar.

Although it was just a projection, its level was enough to reach the ninth-order forbidden spell. The space in the area with a diameter of 100 meters centered on the carriage was completely frozen!

Running, roaring, wielding weapons... all the demons, whether ordinary dual-wielding demons, berserker demons, avian demons, or boar demons, or the three seventh-tier demon commanders who had just been so aggressive,
Under the purple moonlight, everything transformed into lifelike purple sculptures, standing motionless in place.

Only Chu Zichen, Cai'er, Leng Xiao, and the remaining dozen or so mages of the Moonlit Caravan were unaffected.

The demon army outside the purple moonlight range, although not turned into statues, was completely terrified by the absolute pressure of the Moon Demon God Pillar!

The surging offensive came to an abrupt halt, and thousands of demon soldiers stood frozen in place. Whether they were ferocious mad demons, cold-blooded avian demons, or clumsy pig demons, all they felt was a tremor from the deepest part of their souls.

In the void, the phantom of the Moon Demon God Pillar gradually solidified, and a huge figure at the top of the pillar materialized and slowly took shape.

Her long silver hair flowed like moonlight, her deep purple eyes seemed to contain an endless starry sky, and moonlight flowed like ripples on her gorgeous purple dress—that enormous figure was none other than a projection of the Moon Night herself!

The moonlit phantom, magnified countless times, hovered atop the Moon Demon God Pillar, like the Moon Goddess descending to earth.

A calm, moonlit voice rang out, echoing across the silent battlefield:
"All that is despicable in its desecration of the moon will be punished by the moon."

With these divine pronouncements, the purple moonlight was no longer confined to a hundred-meter radius, but expanded to a thousand-meter radius, almost covering most of the battlefield and turning everything into a purple sea of ​​light.

Purple moonlight drifted down, gently covering the frozen demon soldiers.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no horrific carnage.

All the demons touched by the purple moonlight, whether low-level cannon fodder or high-level elites, began to melt away silently, eventually disappearing completely into the world.

Countless demons were unable to utter even a painful howl as they vanished into nothingness in the sea of ​​moonlight.

In the end, of the nearly 50,000 demon troops, only about 10,000 survived after being subjected to forbidden magic. The survivors were utterly terrified and no longer had the courage to attack.

"Zichen, Leng Xiao, kill those statues." At this moment, Yueye's voice rang in Chu Zichen and the others' ears.

Clearly, the power of this forbidden spell is mainly manifested beyond a radius of 100 meters, while within that radius it only has a binding effect.

Chu Zichen immediately directed the women to take action.

Leng Xiao, Cai'er, Li Xin, and Wang Yuanyuan all acted simultaneously, taking down the three seventh-tier demon commanders first. The latter were now like fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.

Li Xuefei and Chen Ying'er quickly cleared out the other demons within a hundred-meter radius.

"We must seize this opportunity and break out immediately... Zichen, I'm entrusting the command to you from now on."

After clearing out the demons, Yueye reappeared on the roof of the carriage. However, her face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and her body was trembling violently uncontrollably. In the end, she instinctively collapsed into Chu Zichen's arms.

Chu Zichen felt that Yueye's body in his arms was limp and powerless. Her original majestic and noble temperament had vanished, leaving only an overexerted shell.

He slipped one hand under her knees and supported her waist and back with the other, carefully lifting the Moon Demon princess into his arms.

Her body was extremely light, like a feather, her fair wrists hung down like snow, and her pale purple silk dress was stained with a little dust.

Through the thin, soft fabric, Chu Zichen could feel the coldness of her body and her slight trembling, a sign of exhaustion from the excessive consumption of her spiritual, mental, and physical strength.

Chu Zichen didn't hesitate at all. He carried Yueye into the carriage and gently laid her on the soft couch.

"Leng Xiao, drive! Heading due east, full speed ahead! Xuefei, Ying'er, get in the carriage! Li Xin, Yuan Yuan, you two lead the way! Cai'er, provide support from the flanks!"

Then, Chu Zichen issued a series of instructions, clear and steady.

Outside the car, Leng Xiao watched as Chu Zichen carried the unconscious Yue Ye into the carriage, her anxiety and worry almost overflowing from her eyes.

However, she immediately wiped the blood off her face, leaped onto the coachman's seat, and steered the carriage forward like an arrow!
The women quickly took their positions and, before the remaining demon army could react, swiftly withdrew from the battlefield.

Besides the luxurious carriage carrying Chu Zichen and his group, only a few other carriages followed; the others were all empty.

The heavy wheels rolled over the blood-soaked earth, splashing up dark red mud.

Outside the car window, the scenery rushed past, the wind howled, and the heavy breathing of the horses and the occasional shouts of the pursuers behind them could be heard.

Ten miles! In less than ten minutes, Chu Zichen and his group, like a sharp arrow piercing the air, left the battlefield far behind.

However, Chu Zichen did not order a slowdown.

After another fifteen minutes of continuous high-speed driving, the convoy entered a rolling hilly area. Once it was safe, he called out to Leng Xiao:
"Stop! We'll rest here!"

With the order given, the speeding luxury carriage gradually slowed down under Leng Xiao's control, and the carriages following behind also stopped.

Leng Xiao practically rushed into the carriage and threw herself onto the soft couch: "Sister Yue! Sister Yue, how are you?"

At this moment, Yueye had fallen into a coma. Leng Xiao didn't know any treatment methods and was helpless. She could only look at Chu Zichen beside her:
"Can you save Sister Yue? I'll do anything you ask if you can save Sister Yue!"

Leng Xiao's voice was filled with unprecedented earnestness and a slight, almost imperceptible tremor. Her eyes were fixed on Chu Zichen, filled with anxiety and trust in his abilities.

Chu Zichen didn't say much, but nodded calmly. Yueye had used forbidden magic to save his and his teammates' lives, so it was only right that he save her.
