You Demon-Suppression Bureau People Are Truly Cunning!

"This..."

Xi'er stared wide-eyed at the Demon-Slaying Saber piercing through her stomach.

She simply could not understand why this had happened.

Enduring the agonizing pain, she turned to look at Xu Ye.

By now, the dullness on Xu Ye's face had completely vanished, and his vacant eyes had become bright and piercing.

He smiled at Xi'er. "Well? Surprised? Was it unexpected?"

Xi'er's eyes widened at once, her face filled with disbelief. "Why?"

"Because you were too confident—so confident that you thought you could control everyone." Xu Ye gave a cold laugh, his face full of disdain.

This fox demon had been far too confident in her Soul-Seizing Technique.

She had confidently believed she could truly control Xu Ye, just as she controlled those other men.

In truth, Xi'er had indeed succeeded.

She really had controlled Xu Ye for a brief instant.

But only for an instant.

Both he and Xi'er were at the first level of Qi Control.

For a fox demon of the same realm to use the Soul-Seizing Technique to control Xu Ye was still rather difficult.

What was more, Xu Ye cultivated the Demon-Subduing Scripture.

It possessed its own special method.

The instant he was seized by the Soul-Seizing Technique, the Demon-Subduing Scripture began circulating automatically and swiftly dispelled the fox demon's Soul-Seizing Technique.

However, once Xu Ye had regained his senses, he decided to play along and turn the enemy's scheme against her.

After all, his earlier remarks about not caring about the lives of these townspeople had all been lies.

The reason he pretended not to care about their lives was to lull the fox demon into complacency.

That way, he could find an opportunity to kill her.

He simply had not expected this fox demon to truly fall for it.

She had even gone so far as to use the Soul-Seizing Technique against him.

Since that was the case, was this not an opportunity delivered right to his door?

Why refuse what was freely offered?

Unexpectedly, it had actually worked.

In the end, Xi'er had simply been too confident in her Soul-Seizing Technique.

She thought she could control everyone.

"You weren't controlled?"

"How is that possible?"

Seeing Xu Ye like this, Xi'er's face turned horrified. She utterly refused to believe it was real.

Her Soul-Seizing Technique could control so many men and make them willing to die for her.

Why had it not worked on Xu Ye?

"I told you that you would regret it, but you wouldn't believe me." At that moment, Lin Yuyan, who had seemed gravely wounded and on the verge of death, had already risen to her feet.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Where was there even a trace of pallor left on her face?

"You... you were acting just now?" Xi'er's eyes flew wide open at the sight.

She simply could not believe it was real.

Xu Ye's supposed grave injury to Lin Yuyan had been fake.

Everything had been a trick to deceive her?

After all, it was only because she saw Xu Ye obey her and seriously wound Lin Yuyan that she had completely believed Xu Ye was under her control.

No matter how confident she was in her Soul-Seizing Technique, she had never expected the Demon-Suppression Bureau's people to be so cunning.

Yet she had not imagined that, in the end, it had all been fake.

Lin Yuyan sneered. "Did you expect us to speak of martial honor with a fox demon like you?"

"But you clearly injured yourself..." Xi'er stared wide-eyed, still unable to believe the truth.

Even Xu Ye could not help looking at Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan's performance just now had been far too convincing.

How exactly had she done it?

Lin Yuyan sneered. "As a cultivator, isn't making yourself cough up some blood a very simple matter?"

Hearing that, Xu Ye's mouth twitched.

For the sake of acting, Lin Yuyan had really gone all out.

"Pfft!" Xi'er suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning as pale as paper.

It was unclear whether it was from rage or injury.

A moment later, her face twisted into a ferocious expression again. With bloodshot eyes, she glared at Xu Ye and the others. "You Demon-Suppression Bureau people truly are cunning!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

As her words fell, her pupils instantly glimmered with purple light.

The next moment, she let out a hoarse roar from her throat. "Kill!"

At that low roar, the dull, lifeless men below, like walking corpses, all raised their heads.

Then, without a word, they all turned around in unison, each facing another, stretching out their hands to strangle one another.

They showed no restraint whatsoever, as though they would not stop until they had strangled the other person to death.

Seeing this, Lin Yuyan's eyes widened.

She had not expected this damned fox demon to keep struggling on the brink of death even now.

And she was not controlling those people to attack them.

She was making them attack each other.

Had this fox demon gone mad?

At that moment, Xi'er burst into laughter. "I refuse to believe you don't care about these people's lives."

"Even if I die, I'll make them accompany me to the grave."

As she spoke, blood continuously spilled from her mouth.

Seeing this, Xu Ye sneered.

Without the slightest hesitation, he exerted force with his hand.

With a ripping sound.

The Demon-Slaying Saber flashed with a streak of saber light.

Xi'er did not even have time to let out a scream.

Xu Ye split her body into two.

Blood immediately splattered across the ground.

She was dead beyond all doubt.

At the instant of Xi'er's miserable death, her corpse emitted a purple glow.

Her true demon form was revealed.

She was a fox with two tails.

After her miserable death, the controlled men all froze in place in a daze.

The stiffness on their faces slowly faded, and light gradually returned to their vacant eyes.

The source of the control had already vanished.

Therefore, Xi'er's control over these people also failed along with it.

"What happened?"

"Why am I here?"

"Yeah!"

"I seem to remember that I was going to meet a young lady..."

"What happened?"

After the men of Mu Family Town regained consciousness, their eyes were filled with confusion.

It was the confusion of awakening.

Because they had completely lost all memories of what had happened before.

They had no idea why they were here.

Nor did they know what had happened.

"Everyone!"

However, just as the crowd stood lost and bewildered, at a complete loss for what to do, Xu Ye's calm voice rang out.

Everyone shuddered and turned to look at Xu Ye in unison.

"The Demon-Suppression Bureau!"

"These are lords from the Demon-Suppression Bureau!"

"Why are they here?"

"What exactly happened?"

When they saw Xu Ye and the others standing there in the black robes of the Demon-Suppression Bureau, everyone present was dumbfounded.

They had no idea what had happened.

Why were the Demon-Suppression Bureau's lords here when everything had seemed fine?

"Take a look at this." Xu Ye did not waste words and pointed at the fox demon's corpse on the ground.

Everyone instinctively looked over. When they saw the fox demon's corpse, all their expressions changed.

"Two fox tails!"

"This is a fox demon?"

"What's going on?"

Quite a few people recognized it as a fox demon at a glance.

After all, they lived in an age plagued by demons and monsters.

Even if they had never seen one before, they had heard plenty about them.

Thus, once they realized that this might be a fox demon and saw the Demon-Suppression Bureau's lords still standing here, their faces all turned deathly pale.

It was not merely the fear of seeing a demon.

Rather, they had suddenly realized that they had very likely suffered at the hands of a demon.

It was an instinctive fear that rose from the depths of every person's heart.
