The blood-colored bone talisman sent out by Jii Nan was quite famous; it was a warning talisman, a rescue talisman that only the Three-eyed Demon Clan could possess, and its function varied depending on the location.
For example, in the wild, outside of the main territory, it served as a rescue talisman, a bone talisman calling for support from the main family. But within Divine Eye City, it was a warning talisman that would imdiately alarm and draw the guards of Divine Eye City.
Once the guards of Divine Eye City were alerted, things could get quite complicated.
In Divine Eye City, the bloodline hierarchy was extrely strict. Jii Nan, a royal of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, being beaten in the street like this, and the one who beat him being a Soul Demon deed lowly by the Demon Clan, was unacceptable by any asure; in short, it was very troubleso.
However, the first person to be alard by this warning talisman was Jii Hua, along with the Seventh Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan whom Jii Hua was visiting.
After all, the incident occurred right next to their mansion. As the chaos began, the guards of the elder’s mansion were the first to report it.
In fact, as Jii Hua and the Seventh Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Chenglü, walked briskly out of the mansion and reached the gate, they were imdiately inford through Divine Soul Telecommunication about what had happened.
Also inford at the sa ti was Ye Zhen’s preditated thod for handling this matter.
Over these days, Ye Zhen had already figured out the internal regulations of the Demon Clan; otherwise, Ye Zhen wouldn’t have acted so ruthlessly against Jii Nan.
But there was no choice; if Ye Zhen didn’t strike first, Jii Nan would have surely taken him down.
Strike first to gain the upper hand, strike later and suffer.
Seeing the scene before him, Jii Hua was montarily stunned!
Jii Nan was beaten up again, and so miserably, Jii Hua was elated!
But once the elation passed, Jii Hua’s expression turned sowhat grim.
With him not present, Ye Zhen had beaten Jii Nan; upon careful reflection, this was indeed tricky.
The Soul Demon of the Dao Entrance Realm casually brought by Ye Zhen made this year’s sacrificial offering extraordinarily successful, not to ntion the future. He definitely did not want anything to happen to Ye Zhen.
But the next mont, Jii Hua was first shocked then delighted, having received Ye Zhen’s handling thod through Divine Soul Telecommunication, which seed entirely feasible!
"Jii Nan, damn you! You’re truly shaless! You just had your eyes on the Soul Demon of the Dao Entrance Realm that I so painstakingly acquired, didn’t you, wanting a few of them?
But no matter how much you want them, you can’t just blatantly rob them, can you?
Can’t you be any more shaless? And to rob them while I’m away! Jii Nan, your conduct is even more disgraceful than the most inferior demons!"
Jii Hua’s spit sprayed onto Jii Nan’s bruised and swollen face like a barrage, scolding and kicking simultaneously, "Jii Nan, if your shalessness wasn’t enough, you’re utterly incompetent!"
"You’re simply a disgrace to our Three-eyed Demon Clan, losing to a group of war slaves under my command! Why don’t you just die?
Fortunately, I had given instructions; otherwise, even if you were killed today, it would be an indelible disgrace to our branch of the Three-eyed Demon Clan!"
Jii Nan, still suffering from his injuries a few days ago, was ambushed by Ye Zhen today, mainly because he never expected Ye Zhen to be so bold, daring to strike a royal mber like him, got caught off guard!
Normally, he was used to being aloof, and the ordinary Demon Clan mbers wouldn’t even dare look him in the eye!
Now being scolded by Jii Hua and directly labeled as a disgrace to the Three-eyed Demon Clan.
The anger! Yet physically incapacitated from the assault, he couldn’t utter a single word, the frustration was indescribable.
"Anyone daring to seize wealth from our Three-eyed Demon Clan is an enemy! Seventh Elder, wouldn’t you agree?" The last sentence, Jii Hua said with a sly smile, looking at the Seventh Elder Jii Chenglü standing at the gate witnessing the scene.
The Seventh Elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan, Jii Chenglü, rely squinted at the unfolding situation, not responding even when Jii Hua addressed him, maintaining an inscrutable deanor.
Having received prior guidance from Ye Zhen, Jii Hua swiftly grabbed four Soul Demons of the Dao Entrance Realm, laughing heartily as he tossed them into the estate of the Seventh Elder Jii Chenglü, along with the Soul-Control Bone Talismans of those four Soul Demons.
In an instant, the old face of the Seventh Elder Jii Chenglü bead like a blossoming chrysanthemum.
This year, Jii Hua had given him just two Dao Entrance Realm Soul Demons as a yearly tribute, and now he had thrown four at once, bringing rewards for his descendants too.
"Indeed! By the Covenant of the Gods of the Demon Clan, the wealth of any royal is sacred, and anyone intending to seize the wealth of the royal clan of the Demon Clan is an enemy!"
"Jii Hua, you have a good group of subordinates; they successfully protected your wealth. You should reward them!" the Seventh Elder Jii Chenglü said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jii Hua laughed like a flower, raising her orchid fingers, but the still-lying Jii Nan was simply filled with urgency, anger, and fury.
Wasn’t he the victim here? He had only ordered the attack and hadn’t even made a move yet! And he ended up beaten like this.
But with Seventh Elder Jii Chenglü’s words, it was decided that Jii Nan had attempted to rob Jii Hua’s wealth and got beaten for it, and it was even deed a justified beating.
The status of Seventh Elder Jii Chenglü was so high that whatever he said beca fact, and no one could question it.
Overwheld with anger, Jii Nan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Seventh Elder Jii Chenglü smiled as he walked over to Jii Nan, "Jii Nan, you ought to thank Jii Hua this ti. If it weren’t for his magnanimity, you’d be facing a whipping at the family annual ceremony for robbing from your kin."
Upon hearing this, Jii Nan’s vision darkened, and he almost passed out.
This is just plain bullying.
A few monts later, the guards of Divine Eye City arrived swiftly, but before they could understand the situation, Seventh Elder Jii Chenglü waved them away.
Having just stood up, Jii Nan’s expression was as unpleasant as swallowing a hot piece of ****.
A few monts later, Jii Hua, along with Ye Zhen and his subordinates, left with a swagger, feeling refreshed, leaving Jii Nan stomping and shouting in fury behind.
"Jii Hua, rember this grudge today! And that Soul Demon hiding its presence beside you..." At this point, Jii Nan started to laugh wretchedly.
"A Soul Demon from the Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm, you can’t protect it. All I have to do is spread the word and incite a bit of conflict; you definitely won’t be able to protect him..." Jii Nan’s voice grew fainter.
In the distance, Ye Zhen, who had been listening intently, suddenly looked extrely distressed.
Four Soul Demons from the Dao Entrance Realm could bribe an elder of the Three-eyed Demon Clan’s Royal Family, then how great is the temptation for them with a Soul Demon from the Peak of Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm?
All those alliances of the demon gods, the wealth of any Royal Clan are supposedly sacred and inviolable, but in Ye Zhen’s eyes, those rules are nothing but nonsense.
They’re all just things to fool people when it counts. If that rule really mattered, why would Jii Hua strive so hard to enhance his strength and influence?
If Jii Nan really mouthed off and stirred up trouble, Ye Zhen’s situation would beco extrely dangerous.
If things go wrong, it could cause great trouble for Ye Zhen and Jii Hua.
Ye Zhen rubbed his brow painfully; Jii Nan had unintentionally hit the weak spot of Ye Zhen and Jii Hua.
If Ye Zhen were a normal Soul Demon, it might not matter, but crucially, Ye Zhen is not normal; he isn’t a real Soul Demon.
"What would be the consequences if I had killed this guy just now?" Ye Zhen murmured.
Jii Hua was startled by Ye Zhen’s words and quickly waved it off, "Don’t do that! If you kill him, since we’re both Royal Clan, it’s not a big deal! But for other demons involved, including you, you’d face extermination of three clans!"
Ye Zhen shook his head silently; Jii Nan was like a troubleso fly that needed to be dealt with, or else one wrong move could leave Ye Zhen at a huge disadvantage.
That night, Ye Zhen once again dispatched the Demon Marshal’s Avatar to guard the residence, while Ye Zhen himself used the Innate Five Elents Divine Escape to head straight out of Divine Eye City.
For four consecutive days, Ye Zhen first scoured inside Divine Eye City, then searched twenty thousand miles to the east and south of the city. Today, Ye Zhen planned to search twenty thousand miles to the west of Divine Soul City.
To the west of Divine Eye City lay the Spirit Eye Sea, which Ye Zhen had ntioned previously, but the na was just a casual excuse.
Aside from a small expanse of forest, most of the west was a vast Spirit Eye Sea; Ye Zhen took only three hours to search nearly all of it.
However, Ye Zhen did not give up; he still continued searching further afield as ti allowed but again found nothing.
As dawn was approaching, Ye Zhen began to swiftly return from underground, and just as he was about to enter Divine Eye City, his Divine Sense suddenly paused, and his figure stopped.
Five streams of light erged from Divine Eye City, shooting straight into the Spirit Eye Sea and disappearing in an instant!
"Spirit Eye Sea?"
Ye Zhen’s expression shifted; suddenly, he felt he might have overlooked sothing during his search!
