The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

It was very quiet outside Youcheng City. The ground was a little damp after the rain, and stepping on it would leave a deep footprint.

The Imperial Academy team moved forward slowly. They looked around vigilantly, not daring to relax for a moment.

Throughout the day, they encountered several groups that were looking for the Yaoling Secret Realm. The other side had fewer people than them and did not pose a threat. However, to their surprise, they did not encounter a single demon in the entire day.

But this does not mean that it is safe here. Instead, everyone in the Imperial Academy has become more vigilant, especially Mo Lintian and other members of the Vanguard Team. They have all been to Youcheng before and fought with the demons countless times. They have also encountered demons while patrolling outside the city. A situation like today's is obviously a problem.

It is said that when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. They had to suspect that the demons were secretly planning a big move.

The sky gradually darkened, and the people from the Imperial Academy stopped moving. Instead, they found a place sheltered from the wind and planned to rest there for the night.

"Oh~ I'm so tired!"

Song Tian sat down between Su Qingning and Li Xue, tilted her body, and rested her head directly on Li Xue's shoulder.

Tired? Su Qingning didn't feel anything. She looked at Song Tian, ​​who looked exhausted, and frowned, "Your physical condition is too poor. You're tired after just walking such a short distance?"

Song Tian waved her hands and said weakly, "You don't understand. I'm not physically tired, I'm mentally tired. I've been on edge all day today, and now that I'm relaxed, I feel so tired."

After Song Tian finished speaking, Li Xue beside her nodded in agreement, "Me too, I'm so tired. I've been so nervous all day, afraid that I might encounter the demons."

Hearing this, Su Qingning understood. However, compared to Song Tian and Li Xue's worries and fears, she was quite curious about the demons. She didn't know what the demons that humans were so afraid of looked like, with three heads and six arms, or just hideous and terrifying.

Several blazing fires dispelled the surrounding chill. Everyone sat around them, eating the dry food they had brought with them. The teacher leading the group, Zhu Yunchuan from the Magician Branch, glanced at the young faces of the students and warned them in a serious tone, "Stay here tonight and don't run around. If anyone acts on their own and gets into trouble, they'll be on their own. I won't let anyone rescue them."

After saying this, Zhu Yunchuan's eyes sharpened and he said in a deep voice, "Do you understand everything?"

"I understand."

Everyone nodded quickly. How could they dare to run around? This wasn't the Imperial Academy, but outside Phantom City. A demon could appear at any time. They were just acting on their own because they thought their lives were too long.

Seeing that all the students were well-behaved and obedient, Zhu Yunchuan nodded with satisfaction. Then, he closed his eyes, as if he was resting, but in fact, his mind had never relaxed and he was always observing the situation around him.

After all, these students were brought out from the Imperial College by Zhu Yunchuan, so he naturally hopes to bring everyone back safely, so he will try his best to protect everyone's safety.

After finishing the dry food in their hands in a few minutes, everyone stopped chatting and closed their eyes to rest, conserve their energy and prepare for tomorrow's action.

The night outside the Ghost City is actually very dangerous. The demons love to hide in the dark and wait for their chance to strike. They prefer to act at night rather than during the day.

Mo Lintian and others have a deep understanding of this. After all, there have been several times when they were forced to get out of bed in the middle of the night to join the battle.

The wind was blowing at night, and suddenly, a scream was heard along with the wind, and everyone in the Imperial Academy who were already sleeping uneasily were suddenly awakened.

"What...what happened? What was that...sound just now?" a student asked tremblingly, his tone full of fear.

The other students from the Pharmacist Branch and the Medical Branch looked at each other with a hint of fear on their faces. They actually had a guess in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Someone must have encountered a demon." Xiao Muye said with a heavy face, "Hearing the screams, it seems that they are in great danger."

When their suspicions were confirmed, the students from the Pharmacist and Physician branches could no longer ignore the fear in their hearts. They hugged each other in groups of three or four, trying to give themselves courage.

"Will the demons come? Will they attack us?" someone asked worriedly.

"If we meet, we will definitely have to fight." Xiao Muye told the truth.

Everyone was even more frightened and wanted to ask more questions when Zhu Yunchuan's serious voice suddenly rang out, "Alright, we have to travel tomorrow, so get some rest."

From beginning to end, Zhu Yunchuan never opened his eyes, and everyone couldn't help but admire his calmness.

However, these students are still young and their minds are not stable. Naturally, they cannot be as calm as Zhu Yunchuan, and it is even more impossible for them to sleep peacefully as if nothing had happened.

In particular, when they closed their eyes, a scream would be heard every once in a while, which made them even more frightened, fearing that the demons would suddenly appear in the next moment.

However, the demons seemed to be deliberately avoiding the Imperial Academy team. For the entire night, not a single demon appeared around them. Instead, one or two screams could be heard from other places from time to time.

Despite this, everyone at the Imperial Academy spent the night in fear. When they set out at dawn the next day, many of them had deep fatigue in their eyes, obviously tortured by the screams.

Zhu Yunchuan glanced at everyone calmly, with a look of displeasure in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the performance of these students. In his words, their psychological quality was too poor and it was difficult for them to achieve great things.

The Imperial Academy team continued on their journey, however, after walking about a hundred meters, they saw three broken corpses lying on the ground. Without exception, the faces of the three dead people were filled with fear and pain, and their bodies were torn to pieces.

"Ugh~"

Seeing the internal organs and intestines scattered all over the floor, many people were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They felt nauseous and couldn't help but vomit out all the dry food they had eaten in the morning.

"The demons' methods are as cruel and disgusting as ever." Qi Runyu frowned, his tone full of disgust.

Zhu Yunchuan didn't say much, he just took out his magic wand and chanted, then a rain of fire fell, directly burning the three broken corpses on the ground to ashes.

"Okay, let's keep going!" Zhu Yunchuan said in a flat tone, then he raised his foot and walked forward, and the others hurried to follow.

It’s not that Zhu Yunchuan is cold-blooded and heartless, but in his opinion, there is no point in being sad since the person is dead. It would be better to kill a few more demons in the future.
