Just as the young woman in yellow was about to open her vermilion lips to voice her worries to her sister.
The defensive barrier outside suddenly reacted.
The two women felt a premonition and looked towards the entrance of the small courtyard in unison.
"Did someone touch the barrier outside?"
The woman in white frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
After all, their secret hideout was extremely secluded, and there was a maze barrier outside. Logically, it should be very difficult for outsiders to find this place.
"It must be little brother returning.
That kid has been obsessed with women lately, I bet he forgot how to break the maze again."
The woman in yellow guessed.
Then, she gracefully raised her hand, formed a hand seal, and temporarily lifted the barrier outside.
Moments later, the tightly shut gate of the small courtyard was slowly pushed open.
Under the watchful eyes of the two Fox Demons.
A refined young man dressed as a scholar gracefully entered, walking quickly towards them. Following behind him were two pig-headed, stout demons.
It was not hard to see that this elegant scholar was actually a Pig Demon wearing a human skin.
"I wondered who it was, turns out it's the Pig Demon King's second son."
The woman in white took a sip of her tea, not surprised by the scholar's appearance.
After all, it was here that he had learned the Skin Painting Secret Art a few months ago.
"Not bad, your skin painting technique has some skill to it..."
The woman in yellow scrutinized the refined scholar, nodding in approval:
"And I must say, your Pig Demon race's aesthetic sense is indeed more than just a little better than the Wolf Demon race."
"Thank you for your praise, seniors..."
The refined scholar puffed out his chest, his face filled with pride, upon receiving the approval of the two powerful figures.
Hmph, those mutts are naturally stupid, how can they be compared to our Pig Demon race?
"Alright, enough idle talk, what brings you here?"
The woman in white lightly swirled the teacup in her hand, her gaze indifferent:
"Has that old fellow finally made all the preparations and is ready to make a move?"
"No, we haven't received any news from that side yet..."
The scholar shook his head and continued:
"I've come here today, entrusted by my father, to give the two senior Fox Demons a warning."
"You two have been living in this small courtyard for a long time, so you might not be aware.
Recently, a Demon Hunter suddenly appeared within Changle County, and they are extremely ferocious and hateful!"
"My most talented younger brother met his end at his hands.
Not only that.
Not long ago, the Wolf Demon King's most powerful son also tragically fell victim to his cruelty, causing the entire Wolf Demon race to be in a state of panic..."
The scholar paused at this point, looked up at the two powerful Fox Demons, took a deep breath, and continued:
"My father heard that your younger brother has been acting recklessly in the city recently, and he feels it's very dangerous and likely to attract the attention of that Demon Hunter."
"Also, as our plan is approaching, we should restrain ourselves and not ruin the important matter..."
Crack—
The teacup in the woman in yellow's hand instantly shattered.
"What? Does your old pig want to tell my brother what to do?"
As she roared, a surge of powerful demonic aura erupted.
Under this terrifying pressure, the two Pig Demons behind the refined scholar instantly collapsed to the ground.
As for himself, although he could still barely hold on thanks to his peak blood and qi cultivation, his back was already completely soaked in cold sweat.
The refined scholar was filled with horror.
This female fox was clearly weaker in cultivation than his father, but how could her demonic aura be so overbearing?
Is this the great demon from the Mortal Breaking Realm from the outside world?
As expected, truly terrifying!
"Alright, little sister, they mean no harm..."
The woman in white tugged at her sister's sleeve, then looked at the scholar and explained softly:
"Don't worry, my brother has always been cautious in his actions, he'll definitely be fine."
"Our Fox Demon clan has a secret method to conceal demonic aura, one that even the divine sense of Spirit Refinement Cultivators can barely detect.
Additionally, I gave him a magical artifact for self-defense. No matter how strong that Demon Hunter is, he'll still have a way to protect himself."
"But..." The refined scholar still wanted to persuade them further.
Suddenly, steady footsteps could be faintly heard from the entrance of the courtyard.
Everyone in the courtyard looked towards the sound and saw a handsome young man in black clothes striding through the gate and into the yard.
Judging by his casual, unhurried demeanor, it was as if he had returned to his own home.
"Li...Little Brother?"
Gazing at the handsome young man who looked as if he had stepped out of a painting, The young woman in yellow couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Upon sensing her little brother's familiar aura from him, her face immediately lit up with joy, and she smiled:
"Little Brother! Have you changed into a new skin again?"
"..."
Gu Cheng ignored the foolish fox, his gaze quickly sweeping across the scene.
He had already learned from the fox demon's residual soul that this secret stronghold was surrounded by a barrier, and that the infuriating fox had forgotten the method to break it.
Gu Cheng had been prepared to force his way in.
He never expected that someone would arrive a step ahead and open the door for him!
What a good comrade...
Don't worry, I'll give you a quick end later!
Gu Cheng looked at the refined scholar, nodded slightly, and put on a kind and amiable smile.
"Third Master..."
The refined scholar hurriedly bowed deeply to the young man, mistaking Gu Cheng for a fox demon as well.
At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this Third Young Master wasn't exposed, their plan would have fewer variables.
"Little Brother~ Where did you find this skin?"
The young woman in yellow scrutinized her "brother" from head to toe, her beautiful eyes sparkling with an inexplicable light.
His stern aura, like a sharp sword, instantly pierced the softest part of her heart, making it difficult for her to control herself...
Although the fox demons usually dressed like ordinary people.
Apart from the truly powerful great demons, most fox demons were essentially beasts at their core, lacking any ethics or morals, only following their own reproductive instincts.
Just as the second sister of the fox demon was lost in the allure of the male, her heart rippling with emotion and unable to help herself.
A roar of uncontrollable anger came from her side.
"Who are you? What have you done to my brother?"
The young woman in white suddenly stood up.
Her originally charming and alluring peach blossom eyes instantly turned into scarlet demonic pupils, emitting a chilling murderous intent that struck fear into people's hearts!
"???"
The Pig Demons and Fox Demons present were instantly shocked, and they all looked towards the handsome young man with mixed expressions of shock and anger.
"Heh, finally, someone has eyes.
Otherwise, I would start to suspect that you Fox Demons are all as stupid as Pig Demons..."
Gu Cheng chuckled and shook his head, reaching out his hand.
Blood energy surged from his palm, condensing into a slender blood-colored blade.
The sharp blade glinted with a cold light.
A scarlet and sinister blood fiend aura coiled around the long saber like a venomous snake, emitting a ferocious and terrifying aura even greater than that of demons!
"You ask where your brother is? Don't worry, you'll be reunited soon..."
A sinister scarlet light flashed in Gu Cheng's eyes.
He brandished the blood saber in his hand, fully activating the Blood Shadow Blade Technique honed to its Ultimate Intent, and unleashed several sharp blood-colored slashes!
Swish, swish, swish—
The scarlet blood-colored slashes tore through the air, whistling with an imposing aura.
They fiercely slashed towards the faces of the two fox demons!
"...After all, family should stick together!"
