In the dim dungeon, the Demoness had been tortured beyond recognition.
She had already been on her last breath, her mind clouded.
Yet the moment she heard them ask who was in charge, her whole body jolted, and a little clarity returned to her eyes.
"Cough..."
She coughed up a mouthful of blood and glared venomously at everyone, especially Chen Mu, threatening them:
"For what you've done to me today, the Devil Lord will slaughter every last member of your families!"
"Heh... come on, kill me..."
As though experiencing a final flicker of life, she mustered the last of her strength to utter those two sentences.
Then her entire body went limp. She hung from the torture rack, her head drooping, seemingly lifeless.
Chen Yanzhao immediately frowned and snorted from the side.
"A Devil Lord? Hmph, quite the grand title."
As the Cloud Province Governor, how could he not know the name of the Devil Lords?
The entire Yin-Yang Demon Church was sowing chaos throughout the land, led by nine people known as the Nine Great Devil Lords.
Their ranks were not fixed but changed at any time, and there was infighting within the church as well.
Only those who fought their way to the top became Devil Lords, and every one of them was a sinister figure possessed of uncanny powers.
For instance, the one the Sword Saint had slain years ago called herself the Mother of the Unborn and possessed an undying body.
Had the Sword Saint not intervened, she alone could have plunged an entire region into chaos.
Chen Yanzhao could not help recalling the intelligence in his possession. He knew only that someone in the Azure Sun Temple called himself the Dark-Moon Devil Lord.
He knew neither the man's actual name nor what abilities he possessed.
