Chapter 650

Hearing the report from his subordinate, Feng Zhenxin suddenly felt a jolt of panic.

Tomorrow’s auction was meticulously prepared by him.

Among the items were several consigned by powerful demon lords, priceless treasures; their loss would have unimaginable consequences.

Moreover...

Feng Zhenxin’s expression abruptly changed. He hurried to his seat, tossed aside the cushion, and opened the secret compartment.

It was completely empty!

“Ah!!!”

His face flushed red as he let out a long howl.

The seven-colored Netherworld Pill he had treasured for hundreds of years was gone!

This pill was originally intended for use when he reached the peak of the Golden Demon Realm to break into the Demon Lord Realm.

But now it was just lost!

“Ye Yu!”

It had to be that brat who took the seven-colored Netherworld Pill; the missing treasury items were definitely connected to him!

With that thought, Feng Zhenxin roared loudly:

“Quick, notify Huang Dazu, the city guardian, offer one million demon stones, and immediately seal the city gates for two hours—allow no entry or exit! If there’s trouble, I will take responsibility before the city lord.”

“As for you all, find this brat within this time, no matter if you have to dig three feet under the earth!”

The leopard demon nodded repeatedly and immediately sprang into action.

Meanwhile, Ye Yu had just arrived at Jianyao City’s gates.

A purple barrier rose up, completely sealing the entrance!

The city guards shouted loudly, “From now on, the city gates are sealed—entry is allowed, exit is forbidden!”

Hearing this, demons preparing to leave the city grumbled in protest.

They kept asking why the gates were sealed.

But the guards atop the walls sneered dismissively.

“If the gates are sealed, there must be a reason. You don’t need to know.”

“Here’s one rule: trespassers on the city walls die!”

This firm stance silenced the demon populace.

Ye Yu’s expression grew serious.

Such sudden city gate closure was definitely abnormal. Could it be the Conscience Workshop had discovered his actions?

Before Ye Yu could ponder further, a commotion erupted behind him.

“Conscience Workshop is working—idle demons get lost!”

Ye Yu turned to see dozens of demons above the Xuan Immortal Realm had gathered a thousand meters away.

At the front, a leopard demon raised his hand pointing at him, shouting, “Yes, that white-haired monkey head! Capture him—heavy reward from the workshop master!”

The demons behind immediately roared and charged toward Ye Yu.

The demons on the city walls also watched eagerly from above.

One joked, “Hey, Bao supervisor, if our people come to help, will there be a bonus?”

The leopard demon answered sternly, “Of course! Our master’s generosity is well known in Jianyao City!”

“Great, then we’ll help you catch this monkey demon!”

The demons on the walls leapt down and rushed at Ye Yu!

Hearing this talk, Ye Yu immediately understood the Conscience Workshop matter was exposed.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t mobilize such forces.

This was troublesome!

Especially with enemies pressing from both sides.

At first, maybe he could barely handle it.

But as time passed, more powerful demons would arrive.

Then it would be truly dangerous!

Damn it, he wasn’t going to die here!

Frowning deeply, Ye Yu made a decision.

The only way out was to gamble!

He clasped his hands and released the long-suppressed bloodline power.

Instantly, behind him appeared a giant ape’s phantom hundreds of meters tall.

White-haired and barefoot, it roared furiously toward the sky.

The surging energy waves made all surrounding demons tremble.

They instinctively thought Ye Yu had unleashed a formidable demon immortal power.

They quickly assumed defensive postures.

But the next second, Ye Yu’s figure vanished.

The demons realized they had been tricked.

An unnamed fury surged within them.

Leopard demon Bao supervisor angrily blamed the demon guards for hesitation and missed opportunity.

The guards shouted back angrily, claiming they only came to help, and had no reason to be insulted.

“Do you think the Conscience Workshop’s reputation is unbeatable?”

After heated words, the two sides fought fiercely.

Ye Yu’s whereabouts were completely forgotten.

Some innocent demons, initially watching the fight, were injured by leaked sword energy and joined the fray.

Soon, the northern city gate was a chaotic battlefield.

With time, more demons inexplicably joined the fight.

Jianyao City descended into chaos.

Demons died every minute.

When Feng Zhenxin emerged from the Conscience Workshop with his demons, he was utterly puzzled.

Why were all demons acting like madmen?

Before he could ponder further,

Jianyao City guards charged at them.

This puzzled Feng Zhenxin even more.

Normally, these demons greeted him respectfully.

Because he spent a fortune annually supporting them.

His status was extraordinary.

Yet now these dogs dared attack him.

They were crazy!

At that moment, countless vines erupted from the ground, binding all demons in Jianyao City in place.

Feng Zhenxin turned southward and saw a tall middle-aged man appear.

He was Hua Nianhe, the current lord of Jianyao City.

His face was ashen, displeased at the city’s chaos.

He had been forcibly awakened from seclusion.

Without a reasonable explanation, many powerful demons would die after today.

Feng Zhenxin’s figure flickered as he bowed before Hua Nianhe.

“City lord.”

Hua Nianhe said coldly, “What happened? Why is the entire city fighting?”

Feng Zhenxin shook his head.

“I don’t know—I just came out. These demons seem possessed.”

Upon hearing “possessed,” Hua Nianhe raised an eyebrow.

He casually summoned a Jianyao City guard before him.
