ăLooking at Ye Yuâs unfamiliar expression, Niu Shixiao narrowed his eyes slightly.ă
ăWho was this person? He seemed never to have been seen before.ă
ăJudging by the demonic aura fluctuations on his body, he seemed only to be at mid-stage Demon Lord Realm!ă
ăWith such cultivation, on what basis did he dare to scold Yue Wanqiu and Niu Erhua like this?ă
ăMoreover, he didnât seem affected at all!ă
ăAlthough the †NĐŸvĐ”â ight †(Read more on our source) reason was unclear, Niu Shixiao had no intention of letting todayâs opportunity slip by!ă
ăSo he said coldly: âWho are you?âă
ăâWho I am is none of your business!âă
ăYe Yu retorted irritably, then casually pointed at Niu Erhua and Yue Wanqiu.ă
ăâLook at yourselves. What has become of you?ă
ăHuh? A Baize and a Seven-Colored Divine Oxâeach of you sounds stronger than the next. But when trouble arises, you donât even think?ă
ăYou just blindly obey whatever this skinny ox says? Not a single doubt?âă
ăAt this moment, the scene was silent, and Ye Yuâs voice reached the ears of every demon clearly.ă
ăHiss... It wouldnât have been so noticeable if he hadnât said it, but now, it did seem a little off!ă
ăThe rhythm of the entire audience seemed to have been dictated by Niu Shixiao.ă
ăNo matter what he said, the demons displayed not a hint of doubt, as if everything had naturally fallen into place.ă
ăSuch a situation was extremely strange.ă
ăFor a moment, even the elders of the Manniu Clan could not help whispering among themselves.ă
ăYue Wanqiu also couldnât help but frown slightly.ă
ăHer gaze turned to Niu Shixiao with confusion.ă
ăSeeing all the demons present begin to doubt her, Niu Shixiaoâs expression became extremely ugly.ă
ăIn fact, the guesses of the crowd werenât wrong.ă
ăThe reason for this situation was that everyone present had fallen under an illusion.ă
ăThe moment Niu Shixiao stomped on the fake Life Ring and shattered it,ă
ăhis illusion had already begun!ă
ăHowever, this illusion did not pull people entirely into a phantasmal realm.ă
ăIt only slightly paralyzed their minds, causing everyone to unconsciously follow his words in their associations.ă
ăIt entered silently.ă
ăExtremely subtly, without the jarring contrast of traditional illusions. Coupled with the explosiveness of what Niu Shixiao was saying, no demon present noticed it!ă
ăBut Ye Yuâs sharp shout instantly woke them all.ă
ăThis was the biggest flaw of this illusion.ă
ăSilent and subtle, it was also extremely fragile.ă
ăMuch like the seductive words of the Fox Demon Clanâonce awakened, it would vanish completely.ă
ăNiu Shixiaoâs face twisted ferociously.ă
ăDamn it, why is this happening? He was about to succeed!ă
ăWhy could this Sheep Demon of the Immortal Lord Realm just stand here normally?ă
ăWhat he didnât know was that all of this was thanks to Niu Erhua!ă
ăYes, his own niece!ă
ăWhen Niu Erhua first met Ye Yu, the Tianniu Heart-Protection Jade she gifted had remained on Ye Yu all along.ă
ăThis was the real reason Ye Yu hadnât fallen into the trap!ă
ăBut in the present situation, Niu Shixiao would never admit that he had tampered with things.ă
ăOtherwise, he would surely become the target of everyoneâs ire!ă
ăSo Niu Shixiaoâs mind spun quickly, and he immediately countered: âWhat ignorant demons dare openly insult and doubt me! I am an elder of the Law Hall of the Manniu Clanâwho are you to question me? Moreover, this is the territory of my Manniu Clan; what business is it of yours?ă
ăCompletely outrageous! Guards, where are you? Seize him immediately and execute him on the spot!âă
ăHearing this, the guards of the Manniu Clan looked at each other, but still stepped forward.ă
ăNiu Shixiao was right; as an elder of the Law Hall, he had the authority to mobilize them.ă
ăMoreover, Ye Yu was an outsider demon. There was no reason to offend a clan elder on behalf of an outsider!ă
ăSeeing this, Yue Wanqiu immediately stepped forward to protect Ye Yu.ă
ăNiu Erhua also shouted loudly: âStop! Everyone, step back! Until this matter is fully investigated, none of you are allowed to act!âă
ăNiu Shixiao snorted coldly: âErhua, Iâve long said youâre too young to be clan leader. Now, before even taking office, youâre already acting recklessly. If you really became clan leader, wouldnât our Manniu Clan be bullied by outside demons to death?âă
ăThese words were clearly meant to provoke!ă
ăHe was catching Niu Erhua in a verbal trap, turning the clan demons against her.ă
ăAs expected, some clan members began whispering among themselves.ă
ăUnity was crucial among the demons.ă
ăEven if a clan member truly made a mistake, one must not defend outsiders.ă
ăThis was a grave taboo!ă
ăNiu Erhua had never experienced such a situation, and for a moment was completely at a loss.ă
ăShe tried desperately to explain, but didnât know how to start.ă
ăHer eyes reddened with anxiety, tears about to fall!ă
ăYe Yu, however, clapped his hands slowly and mockingly said: âYou skinny ox really have a way with words. In just a few sentences, youâve made your own niece want to cry. You truly are a competent Second Uncle. One would think you intend to drive your niece to death so you can take the clan leader position yourself!âă
ăBeing called out so directly, Niu Shixiaoâs face turned even uglier.ă
ăMoreover, the term âskinny oxâ was extremely insulting within the Manniu Clan.ă
ăIt was like calling a young man a weak dog!ă
ăNiu Shixiao could no longer restrain himself.ă
ăâWhat nonsense are you spouting! Disturbing the bond between uncle and nieceâyou deserve to die!âă
ăNo sooner had he spoken than Niu Shixiao charged in front of Ye Yu, ready to strike!ă
ăSeeing this, Yue Wanqiu naturally stepped forward to block.ă
ăBut someone was faster!ă
ăYe Yu snapped his fingers and immediately unleashed the Thousand Dreams Illusion!ă
ăAt that moment, Niu Shixiao was frozen in place, his eyes slowly closing.ă
ăYue Wanqiu turned back in disbelief.ă
ăShe truly could not imagine how Ye Yu, at Demon Lord Realm, could control a powerful Demon King Realm like Niu Shixiao.ă
ăA gap of a whole realmâhow could it simply be ignored?ă
ăNot only did Yue Wanqiu find it incredible, but all the other demons did as well.ă
ăEven powerful figures like Niu Li rushed forward, shouting: âDonât kill Elder Niu!âă
ăAfter all, Niu Shixiao was an elder of the Law Hall of the Manniu Clan.ă
ăThough sharp-tongued and harsh, without committing a major error, they could not stand by and watch him be killed by an outsider demon!ă
ăYe Yu raised his hand to block their advance and said softly: âRelax, I donât intend to kill him. I just want to hear the truth from his own mouth, not some fabricated lies!âă
