chapter 8

The three words seemed like a taboo to them. The first reason was that the name was given to the Devil King by Sect Master Yin. Because Sect Master Yin no longer wanted to mention what happened in the past, no one dared to mention the Devil King’s name in front of him. The second reason was that someone had once called out Yin Xuezhuo’s name and then the Devil King had really appeared in front of him. Yin Xuezhuo killed the person who had called out his name and then proceeded to slaughter an entire city.

Ever since then, no one in the world ever dared to mention those three words. They only dared to call him “The Devil King”.

The Devil King was the leader of the devils.

Ji Yan’s mouth twitched when she saw how everyone turned pale with fright after she mentioned his name directly.

This group of people only knew how to bully the weak.

They only dared to bully her here because she’s in their territory. Since they don’t have the ability to fight head-on with Yin Xuezhuo, they could only kill a few low-evil devils.

They didn’t dare to walk out of this enchanted city; they could only hole up in this city. They only have the power to interrogate her instead of brainstorming ways to kill the Devil King.

The expression on Ji Yan’s face angered the man sitting above her. The man stood up and walked to Ji Yan. He suddenly raised his hand and——

“Slap!”

He slapped her so hard that her head turned to the side.

Her right face and teeth were burning painfully from the pain, and her ears were buzzing. She couldn’t help but clenched her teeth and rebuked him.

“F**k your mother.” Ji Yan cursed at him in a very low voice.

F**k your mother.

She had never been beaten before. Where did this piece of sh*t come from? Just because she had no information, he actually dared to slap her face.

Ji Yan had been hungry for a long time. She had not eaten ever since she transmigrated here. She also hadn’t rested ever since she got here. Ji Yan didn’t have the strong physique that a typical cultivator would have, so she was extremely exhausted at this moment. Her head was dizzy and everything in front of her was blurry.

She bit her lips and raised her head. Ji Yan was about to continue to yell streams of profanity at him when she suddenly froze.

Someone was standing in the corner of the room.

The man was surrounded by a black mist and his skin was terrifyingly pale. His horrifying looking hand was supporting his chin and he had a twisted smile on his face.

Yin Xuezhuo?

Did he really appear because she had casually called out his name?

Why did he suddenly appear when she only casually mentioned his name?

Ji Yan stared at the corner of the room and was unable to take her gaze away from there. The middle-aged man suddenly felt his blood run cold. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner of the room where Ji Yan was staring at. However, he saw nothing.

Before he could even sigh a breath of relief, he heard the woman quietly whisper, “Someone is standing there.”

“Who?” The middle-aged man was slightly startled. He looked around, but he didn’t see anyone out of place. The people standing around the middle-aged man became frightened.

Ji Yan and Yin Xuezhuo looked at each other from a distance. In a hushed tone like she was telling a ghost story, Ji Yan said, “Shh, he’s watching you.”

——The corner of Yin Xuezhuo’s mouth curved upward, revealing an extremely twisted smile.

“He is smiling.”

——Yin Xuezhuo walked over to her. The sleeves of her robe fused together with the black mist. The black mist lingered everywhere he passed by.

“He’s coming here.”

The middle-aged man, “…”

He suddenly began to panic because Ji Yan’s expression appeared to be too realistic. She didn’t look like she was lying at all. He turned around and looked in the direction Ji Yan was staring at again, but he saw nothing.

“Stop trying to deceive people. You’re simply courting death!” He was flustered that he fell for her “lies”. He raised his hand and was about to hit the top of Ji Yan’s skull.

But he couldn’t move his hand at all in the next second.

A hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed his wrist.

The hand that grabbed his wrist was terrifying in appearance. It didn’t look like a human hand.

Everyone stood up in shock. Some people even peed their pants in fear. The middle-aged man was horrified as he tried to struggle free from the hand’s grasp. However, the more he struggled, the more the grip on his wrist tightened.

Until…snap!

A crisp snapping sound was then accompanied by a blood-curdling scream.

Yin Xuezhuo had forcibly broken the middle-age man’s wrist.

He finally let go of his hand and allowed the person to fall to the ground. The middle-aged man rolled on the ground as he screamed in agony. Yin Xuezhuo looked down condescendingly at the middle-aged man. His body was slowly becoming visible to everyone. Yin Xuezhuo smiled and said, “No one is qualified to kill the person whom I want to kill.”

No one had really heard him besides Ji Yan who was still kneeling on the ground and the middle-aged man who was about to pass out from the pain. Everyone else was frightened to the extreme as they rolled and crawled out of the room.

Yin Xuezhuo narrowed his eyes and he appeared to be displeased. The consequence of him being displeased was death. With just a wave of his sleeve, he wiped out everyone in the room.
