How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 790 - 0785: Two Great Elders (Three Updates)

"Indeed, it is Marquis Yunlai."

"People say that he rebelled against the Holy Land and opposed it, which is why he ended up like this."

Whispers broke out all around, yet most were based on hearsay without knowledge of the true circumstances.

"Father."

Princess Yun Ning looked at the man being escorted up, her emotions agitated and uncontrollable.

"Princess Ning, rest assured, we will definitely rescue your father."

Commander Lin’s gaze softened as he looked at Yun Ning.

In truth, as the Commander of the Forbidden Guards, he had always harbored admiration for Princess Yun Ning.

"It is indeed Marquis Yunlai."

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He had previously suspected whether the enemy might use a decoy to trick Commander Lin and the others into acting, only to busy themselves for naught and end up losing their lives.

From the looks of it, the enemy was quite confident, bringing out the real Marquis Yunlai.

Beside him, Song Xiaodie felt nervous.

She could never have imagined that Chen Yu was a wanted criminal from the ancient country, and that the first thing she did with him was... to rescue a prisoner.

On the other side.

Another group of people, concealing their true identities, hid in the shadows.

"Master Hall Master, isn’t our action this time too risky?"

A man with an ordinary appearance communicated through a secret technique.

"Yes, Master Cao, Marquis Yunlai is to be beheaded in public; they must be fully prepared."

Another person said.

"With Master Cao here, what are you worried about?"

A man in green clothing scoffed with disdain.

"Rest assured, with the Hall Master personally taking action, I’m sixty percent confident. If the situation turns grim, we can immediately retreat."

A man with pale skin and slightly eerie features spoke in a low voice.

This person was the newly appointed Hall Master of the Blood Moon Organization.

He was originally a Golden Emblem Holy Guard of the Holy Land but later defected to the Blood Moon Organization. After gaining trust, he was directly appointed as a Hall Master.

Many were not convinced by him, thus "Cao Hui," the Hall Master, needed to achieve some meritorious deeds.

Now was an excellent opportunity.

Rescuing Marquis Yunlai from the clutches of the Yun Zhao Royal Family would not only strike a blow against the rule of the Holy Land but could also bring Marquis Yunlai under his control, strengthening his own power.

In fact, his actions had another unknown factor behind them.

That was to gain the recognition of the "Blood Lotus Saintess" within the Blood Moon Organization.

Every time he saw the Blood Lotus Saintess, he could hardly suppress the emotions within his heart, yearning to get close to her, but she was unattainable, beyond his reach.

For this reason, Cao Hui could only work harder to achieve more and strengthen himself.

"Later, you all follow my command and strike together."

Cao Hui had made up his mind.

Suddenly, several figures appeared in the pavilion at the front of the square.

"Marquis Yunlai is coming out."

Someone exclaimed.

Since Marquis Yunlai was captured, someone else had taken his position.

A corpulent middle-aged man came forward with a smile, full of pride, occasionally glancing at Marquis Yunlai with faint disdain.

"Cousin, when we competed for the position of Marquis of Yunlai Prefecture, although I lost, now this position has fallen into my hands, including your life, haha."

The corpulent middle-aged man thought to himself with inward laughter.

Every time he thought of this, he was indescribably pleased.

When the corpulent middle-aged man took his seat on the throne above, after a short while, someone began to read out the charges against Marquis Yunlai: "Out of the thirty-six prefectures of Yun Zhao Country, the lord of Yunlai Prefecture, Marquis Yunlai, defied the royal family, resisted the Holy Land, committed great treason, and today at noon, he will be beheaded in public."

Time trickled by.

Below, Commander Lin, Princess Yun Ning, and others felt as if time were dragging on an eternity.

"There are ten Guiyuan Realm auras!"

Commander Lin communicated through a secret technique.

Since arriving, he had been observing the overall situation.

"Ten Guiyuan Realm?"

Everyone’s hearts trembled; they only had six Guiyuan Realm individuals on their side.

Besides, the enemy’s total number of people completely outmatched their own.

In fact, Commander Lin left out a detail—that he had discovered ten Guiyuan Realm experts, and there might be others hidden in the darkness that he had not detected.

"Among the enemies, the black-armored man beside the new Marquis is on par with me; leave him to me."

Commander Lin began to strategize.

"The Marquis is up to Brother Chen and Miss Ye."

After all, it was Chen Yu who had initially proposed to snatch the person on the day of execution, so this task also fell to him.

"No problem."

Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders.

In his view, this rescue mission didn’t pose any danger.

What Chen Yu considered was that it would be even better if they could capture all the enemies in one fell swoop.

"The time has come for the execution!"

A loud shout came.

The surrounding crowd, gathered to watch, all turned their eyes to the scene, many of them there for the spectacle, while many of the original residents of Yunlai Prefecture showed faces of unbearable emotion.

As soon as the words fell.

Woosh—

Suddenly, dozens of figures dressed in black rushed out from the crowd, instantly killing the guards and storming into the square.

"Ha, this Marquis Yunlai’s life, I’ll be taking it."

Cao Hui sneered, his retinue engaging in slaughter as they closed in on Marquis Yunlai at the center of the square.

"Who is this person? Why does he want to save me?"

Marquis Yunlai didn’t recognize Cao Hui and was puzzled.

"Sure enough, someone’s causing trouble. Execute them all!"

The new Marquis, the corpulent middle-aged man, bellowed immediately.

From all directions, thousands of elite soldiers were mobilized, including the black-armored man beside the portly middle-aged man. Wielding a black blade, he sent out waves of chilling, icy black blade lights, striking terror into people’s hearts.

Clang!

In a flash of lightning, Cao Hui clashed with the black-armored man. The resulting explosion resonated, affecting the surrounding area.

A black and blue water light storm swept through, causing many innocent bystanders to lose their lives on the spot.

"We should join the fight, too!"

Commander Lin’s expression tightened as he immediately shouted.

"I didn’t expect others to come to the Marquis’s rescue. With their help, our chances of saving the Marquis have increased a lot."

The white-bearded old man beamed with joy.

Swoosh—

Commander Lin and the others appeared together, charging into the midst of battle.

"Marquis, we’ve come to save you."

The white-bearded old man called out.

"Old Jiang... Commander Lin, Ning’er!"

Marquis Yunlai, upon seeing these familiar figures, felt an inexplicable surge of emotion.

Clang clang bang! Boom!

The scene became chaotic, three forces embroiled in a ruthless conflict.

Commander Lin confronted the black-armored man head-on, joining forces with Cao Hui to repel him.

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng also leapt into action, ready to rescue Marquis Yunlai.

But just at that moment.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

From within the Prince Manor, two figures dashed out, a terrifying, flood-like presence crushing all in its path.

The overwhelming force left everyone in the plaza unable to resist, their hearts pounding with fear and apprehension.

Many individuals at the Qi Transformation Realm level couldn’t help but take several steps back, their faces showing fear and dread.

In the next moment, atop the pavilion over the new Marquis’s head, a man and woman appeared.

"You’ve finally taken action, kill these rebels quickly."

The portly middle-aged man said with ecstatic relief.

"Shut up!"

One of the gaunt elders shot the portly middle-aged man a glance with his dim, lifeless eyes.

This look sent the middle-aged man shuddering into an abyss of terror, showing reverence as he respectfully said, "Greetings to the Sacred Land Elder!"

"Giggle, who would have thought we’d draw out both the remnants of Yunlai Prefecture and the Blood Moon Organization, this is truly a bountiful harvest."

A sensuous woman dressed in dark green garments, seemingly existing in an ethereal realm, revealed a wickedly seductive smile, as if every grin and pout could capture souls.

"The Sacred Land’s two Great Elders!"

Upon seeing the two figures, Cao Hui shuddered uncontrollably.

As a former Golden Emblem Holy Guard, he naturally recognized the two elders.

But he couldn’t have imagined that the rescue mission for Marquis Yunlai would lead the enemy to dispatch two Sacred Land Elders, laying in ambush like hunters lying in wait for prey.

After all, Sacred Land Elders are Venerables of the Sky Sea Realm!

Facing two Venerables, could he escape?

Meanwhile, Commander Lin was also terrified out of his wits by their presence!

How could this be? How could there be two Sky Sea Realm Venerables lying in ambush here?

Just at that moment.

Bang!

Not far from Commander Lin, a red-garbed man suddenly turned and struck him with a palm.

Caught completely off-guard, a shadowy red blood palm print landed on Commander Lin’s chest, sending him flying several zhang away, vomiting mouthfuls of blood.

"You... Fu Ren!"

Commander Lin glared at the man in red, a mixture of shock and anger on his face, disbelief in his eyes.

"Traitor!"

The white-bearded old man, upon seeing the man in red, angrily shouted.

By now, they all realized that this man in red was a mole, a betrayer.

It must have been this red-garbed man who had informed in advance, allowing the Sacred Land to send two Elders to lie in wait.

Commander Lin and the others were filled with a mix of rage and despair.

"Hahaha, everyone lives for themselves; I too am doing this for my own sake!"

The man in red laughed heartily as he moved towards the opposing faction.

But at that moment.

A cold voice sounded out: "You stay right there."

Chen Yu’s icy gaze fixed on the man in red.

He had some recollection of this man; during the earlier discussion of the rescue operation, the man in red was the first to reprimand him. Later, when Chen Yu proposed a rescue on the day of the beheading, he was also the first to agree.

But Chen Yu hadn’t expected this man to turn traitor; he loathed such turncoats the most.

"That man is..."

Cao Hui looked towards Chen Yu, his eyes widening in shock as he blurted out, "Chen Yu!"

"Chen Yu, you’ve finally decided to show yourself."

On the pavilion, the gaunt elder spoke in a deep, hoarse voice, as if it came from a dark and eerie graveyard.

"To deal with you, Elder Qu and I have personally taken action. You should be satisfied."

The woman in the black skirt spoke in a beguiling tone that swirled around, dizzying to the senses.

"So, the two Great Elders intervened for him!"

Cao Hui looked at Chen Yu, feeling a hint of bitterness.

At least, if the enemy had deployed two Elders for himself, it would indicate how much the Sacred Land valued him.

But in reality, the real targets of the two Sacred Land Elders were Chen Yu!

He was merely a sideshow.

The man in red looked at Chen Yu, his smile carrying a hint of mockery, and without hesitation returned to the enemy ranks.

He had infiltrated Commander Lin’s group with the sole intention of catching them all in one fell swoop.

He just didn’t expect Chen Yu to make a sudden appearance.

Thus, he relayed the information, drawing significant attention. Two nearby Sacred Land Elders converged here, all to capture Chen Yu alive!

"I told you to stay!"

Chen Yu called out coldly again, and a wildly ferocious demonic power burst forth.
