An Inescapable Cage

Before he could answer, a thunderous crash came from the room outside!

This was followed by the guests' shrill screams.

All four of them felt their hearts sink.

The enemy had arrived far too quickly. There were over a hundred puppets outside—how could they have failed to hold on for even two or three minutes?

The noise had come from the front doors being smashed apart.

Liu Li was the first to charge into the banquet hall. Before anyone could react, she had already drawn her blade. The scantily clad crowd scattered in panic, but every emergency exit had been sealed. There was no second way out. Blade light stirred up a bloody tempest, overwhelming the cloying perfume that filled the air.

Chen Xuan did not stop Liu Li.

She had earned this blood.

Moreover, Lin Qing had already told him who the guests were—these people had not only begun colluding with the Devils today. Their interests had long been deeply intertwined. The Devils had relied on winning over these executives and dignitaries to rise step by step to their current position, allowing them to openly intercept and kill Elorie in the streets without restraint.

In a sense, these guests were merely powerless Devils.

Just then, a group of Devils rushed out from the inner room. They bared their fangs and claws, dark flames billowing from their bodies like monsters that had leaped out of hell! Anything touched by those flames ignited at once—the floor, the wine tables, and the living people fleeing toward the inner room all began to burn, throwing the scene into even greater chaos!

Yet Chen Xuan did not make a move.

He could distinguish them clearly. Although these "fire-bearing Devils" were no illusion, their Spiritual Energy signatures were vastly different from those of true Devils.
