I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1041 - 386: The Empress Wants Dual Cultivation? Chen Mo: Only for Lust, Not for Survival! (Part 2)

Yu Youhan paused slightly in her speech and said, "I don't want to discuss these matters with you because I don't want you to get involved. The depths of the ancient family run far deeper than you can imagine."

Chen Mo shook his head with a laugh and said, "It's too late to talk about this now. I've been in the thick of it from the start... Besides, I'm very curious. Knowing that Chu Yanli is in the State Mansion, why would the other side still risk trying to kill me? What is the reason behind it?"

"The reason doesn't matter; just kill them all."

Yu Youhan's eyes glimmered with cold light. The Qi Family's actions had touched her bottom line, and they were now treading on the path of doom.

A thousand-year-old family?

Deeply rooted?

Even if it turns Jiu Zhou upside down, they must be uprooted and obliterated completely!

Whoosh—

As the two were talking, the sound of something piercing through the sky approached from afar.

Looking up, they saw Li Yuan and Ye Zi'e flying over, followed by Zhong Lihe and several Mystic Armor Guards.

It wasn't suitable for Yu Youhan to appear in public, so her figure became blurry and gradually faded away.

"Mr. Chen!"

Li Yuan landed beside Chen Mo, his pupils slightly contracted as he took in the wrecked surroundings.

Clearly, a fierce battle had just taken place here, and it seemed they had arrived too late.

"Sir, are you alright?" Li Yuan asked with concern.

Though Ye Zi'e didn't step forward, her gaze carefully examined him. Only after confirming he was unharmed did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Chen Mo said with a smile.

When he first arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw the crowd in the Daoist Temple, he realized something was amiss.

So he sent the two away in advance and discreetly signaled for them to bring reinforcements to deal with any unpredictable emergencies.

In other words,

even if the Empress did not take action, as long as they delayed until Zhong Lihe and the others arrived, Yu Zhe would still be doomed.

If worst came to worst, he could still open the World Gate to summon the Daoist Venerable... However, considering Ji Hongxiu's special identity, if discovered by the Empress, it might be impossible to explain, so it could only be a backup plan.

"Where is Yin Tiankou?" Ye Zi'e asked, glancing around with a frown, "Did he escape?"

"Yin Tiankou and two elders from the Gu God Sect have been personally slain by me," Chen Mo said, pointing at the empty shell of armor on the ground. "Additionally, Yu Zhe, the Mystic Armor Guard Commander, colluded with the Demon Sect to attempt to assassinate me. I also killed him in self-defense..."

?!

As these words were spoken, the air instantly fell into dead silence!

The expressions on everyone's faces were filled with disbelief, especially the few Black Armor Guards, whose eyes were a mix of shock and bewilderment.

"Commander Yu was a Demon Sect mole? This... how is this possible?"

"Mr. Chen, do you have any evidence?"

Chen Mo replied calmly, "The incident happened suddenly. I had just gone through a brutal battle. Yu Zhe launched an attack abruptly, and in the heat of the moment, I could only fight for my life. At the brink of life and death, there was no strength left to capture him alive."

The Mystic Armor Guards exchanged glances.

So that means there's no proof of the dead's words?

The death of a Forbidden Guard Commander is a big deal, and relying on Chen Mo's word alone is likely insufficient. Normally, he should be detained first, and then the truth should be ascertained before making any decision.

But the problem is, who dares to act?

This Mr. Chen has so many tokens that they almost outnumber their lives...

Zhong Lihe's eyes flickered, his thoughts racing.

Chen Mo's relentless pursuit of the Gu God Sect is evident to all.

Moreover, whether Yu Zhe was truly clean or not could be easily verified, and Chen Mo had no reason to lie about this so clumsily.

However, the Gu God Sect is just a sect in Jianghu. Even with great abilities, it's impossible for them to have bribed the Imperial Court Guards, suggesting that there is someone else behind Yu Zhe, likely hiding within the palace!

Someone with such capabilities, apart from the current Holy Emperor, could be counted on one hand...

Zhong Lihe cleared his throat and said, "I naturally believe what Mr. Chen says. Men, take this Mystic Armor back. The Princess will judge with fairness and have her decision."

"The rest of you, follow me to search this place. If any remnants of the Demon Sect are found, kill first and report later!"

"Yes!"

Having said this much, no one had any objections.

By now, the worshipers had already scattered and fled, and the Taoists who were possessed by Gu Poison Worms had also lost their ability to resist, all being captured.

Chen Mo led the group to the inner courtyard and, with a wave of his hand, moved a dirt wall aside.

Inside, a pit had been dug, where dozens of women huddled together, their faces full of fear.

After driving off Xuanzhen and the others, Chen Mo seized the opportunity to use the power of the Five Elements to hide these "pregnant women" to avoid collateral damage.

Now their bellies were deflated, and their skirts were stained with blood, making them aware that the pregnancy was just a facade. Some couldn't take the shock and had already fainted.

"Using such methods to cultivate Gu Poison Worms, these beasts would stop at nothing!" Li Yuan ground his teeth in anger, his eyes brimming with fury.

"But at least their lives are saved," Ye Zi'e said. "Let's take them all back to the State Mansion for a thorough examination to ensure no Gu Poison Worms remain in their bodies."

Once the entire Daoist Temple had been cleared, Zhong Lihe approached Chen Mo and said, "Mr. Chen, you've fought fiercely multiple times and must be exhausted. It would be better to return to the State Mansion to recuperate. Leave the rest to us."

Including Yu Zhe, Chen Mo had killed a total of four Grandmasters, carrying an aura of slaying men who dared to challenge him!

To possess such power just after entering the Third Grade, given time, perhaps there would be few under the Ultimate Venerable who could challenge him!

Moreover, Zhong Lihe noticed that the Mystic Armor was spotless without a trace of blood, as if the person had evaporated into thin air, which gave him a rough idea of what might have happened...
