The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

A look of astonishment froze on the demon general's ugly, unseeing head.

The startled demons hurriedly moved aside, leaving the lone head rolling on the ground.

The expressions on the faces of the demons present also changed from nonchalant to more respectful.

It must be said that Li Wuyue's tactic of making an example of someone was quite effective.

Because Yun Yici was trying her best to avoid the other party's attention, she didn't see how Mo Liu died at all.

She didn't even hear the sound of the blade piercing flesh, nor did she know how the other party shattered Demon Six's demon core.

She only heard screams from the demons, followed by the dull thud of Demon Six's head hitting the ground.

She lowered her eyes, no longer looking at the head rolling on the ground.

Although it was only a very short time, her intelligence allowed her to figure out where their weakness lay.

Just as Li Wuyue said, their pace was off.

Regardless of whether they are born into prestigious families or in the mountains, humans are always taught by their parents and elders. Even if they are not polite, their manners and behavior are not as rough as those of uncivilized low-level demons.

However, it was too late for them to make any adjustments, and it was impossible for them to beg Li Wuyue to let them off the hook.

Seeing that Li Wuyue was so arrogant and sought the limelight, the emperor, who never bowed his head to anyone, had already made preparations.

They were just waiting for Li Wuyue to expose their identities, so they would cause a huge scene.

But after killing Mo Liu, Li Wuyue seemed to have forgotten the reason for her argument with him and leisurely stepped aside.

Lian Yunyi and the other three walked right past him without him reacting at all.

Li Wuyue's lenient treatment of the others was seen by them as Li Wuyue deliberately picking a fight to establish his authority in public, so they did not take the remaining subordinates of Demon Six seriously.

The imperial edict, ready to fight at any moment: I've already rolled up my sleeves, and this is it?

However, it's always good to preserve one's strength before facing the Demon Lord head-on.

Even better news is that, because of the death of Demon Six, his subordinates have become scattered and disorganized.

At Li Wuyue's command, the group of demons was separated and incorporated into the ranks of other demon generals.

Zhong Tu, who was mixed in with them, subtly hinted that the four of them had not been separated and were fortunate enough to be assigned to the core elite formation.

The leading demon general is called Demon One.

The numerical designations of their names also reveal their strength, from Demon One to Demon Six, with lower numbers generally indicating stronger demon generals.

Mo Yi was a burly man with a blue face and fangs, and he looked at them, the newly assigned "newbies," with disdain.

Forget about assigning any important tasks, he actually ordered Yun Yici and the other new demons to "serve" his subordinates.

Zhong Tu, being bold, replied with a smile, "Yes."

Then he closed the tents where they were camping, and with a flick of his wrist, he pulled out the Soul-Summoning Banner and turned the demon subordinate they were responsible for serving into his own servant.

Nevertheless, Zhong Tu dared not be arrogant.

After finishing her duties, she stood obediently beside the emperor's edict, bowing her head and waiting for further instructions.

Emperor Zhao let out a long sigh of relief before discussing with Yun Yici and Shen Huaichuan: "Now we are close to the core of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, since you can sense where the Mirror of Illumination is, why don't we go and investigate tonight?"

"If you can directly break the seal and regain your cultivation, why waste time?"

"Waiting and waiting, the night is long and many things may happen."

The Emperor decreed that it was a pity that this place was heavily guarded by the Demon Lord, and not even a bird could fly in; otherwise, they wouldn't have had to risk their lives.

Shen Huaichuan said, "Alright."

"However, since I have lost all my cultivation, I must rely on the demonic energy of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons to break the seal."

"Let's check on the condition of the Mirror of Revelation first, and I'll act when the time is right."

After discussing and finalizing their plans for the night, Yun Yici raised her question: "I have a feeling that our infiltration went too smoothly."

"And Li Wuyue, if he were truly as vigilant as he appeared, how could he have so easily overlooked the anomalies he discovered?"

"I'm just worried that he's deliberately letting us go, trying to play the trick of waiting for the right moment to strike."

Although Shen Huaichuan couldn't see, he could sense what had happened during the day.

He said, "No need to worry, I think this person is upright."

"Moreover, he is a musician, but he does not follow the path of attaining enlightenment through sound; instead, he uses the zither as his instrument."

After pondering for a while, Yun Yici suddenly realized: "It was the zither strings. He used the zither strings to kill Mo Liu."

The thin strings cut into the flesh; no wonder there was no sound.

On the one hand, it also shows that Li Wuyue's magical weapon is extremely sharp.

Li Wuyue's zither was not for playing; it was for killing with its strings.

Yun Yici's lips twitched, and she immediately thought of Shen Chu playing the suona.

Shen Chu also mentioned that there were musicians in the sect who used drums as their instruments.

Fortunately, if he had followed Li Wuyue's path, he probably would have picked up a big drum and smashed people.

Despite Shen Huaichuan speaking up for Li Wuyue, the emperor still dared not relax his authority.

After nightfall, the emperor ordered Zhong Tu to stay behind and guard the rear, while he, Yun Yici, and Shen Huaichuan sneaked into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.

With Shen Huaichuan pointing the way, Yun Yici used his sense of direction to avoid the wandering guardian demons.

Upon reaching the edge of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, the demons guarding it formed a straight line, leaving them with no way to escape.

With this setup, not even a flying insect could get in.

Hidden in the darkness, Yun Yici and his companions saw through the gaps between the alternating demons that demonic energy was spreading in the abyss, churning like scalding black mist and emitting a chilling sound.

The sound was more like a scream.

Yun Yici stared intently at one spot, and suddenly a pale blue hand emerged from the pitch-black fog.

The hand reached upwards as if trying to grasp something.

But the next moment, the hand was swallowed up again by the surging demonic energy.

The demonic energy that gave it life no longer showed mercy; it swallowed it up and transformed it into even purer demonic energy.

Yun Yici held his breath and finally realized what this method of activating the Mirror of Illumination was all about.

Demons can devour each other.

Since the seal cannot be broken from the outside.

The only way is to start from the inside.

Both Mo Xiao and Shen Huaichuan planned to awaken the Heavenly Demon with a large amount of demonic energy, and once the demon broke through its cultivation realm, the seal would be broken.

Therefore, the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons is the most suitable place.

Countless demons are born in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons every day, but now, before they can even climb out of the Abyss, they have turned into nourishment for the Mirror of Revelation.

Shen Huaichuan's reliance is that once the seal is broken, he can regain a portion of the power that was sealed back then.

Mo Xiao, on the other hand, was preparing for a high-stakes gamble, betting that he could devour the newly emerged Heavenly Demon head and become the new Heavenly Demon.

The problem is that the creature inside is a celestial demon, certainly not a benevolent one.

Yun Yici trembled inwardly; she couldn't imagine what kind of monster was sealed inside the Mirror of Revelation.

Do they really want to release each other out of the mirror?
