I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1045

Whoosh——

At this moment, the sound of something piercing through the air could be heard.

Chu Yanli sensed something and suddenly dashed to the outside of the government office.

Under the low, dark night sky, several figures flew towards her, led by Zhong Lihe.

"Your Highness." Zhong Lihe approached and bowed in salute.

"Why are you the only one who returned, where are Chen Mo and Yu Zhe?" Chu Yanli looked around and noticed a guard behind him holding a Mystic Armor, her brow furrowed, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, it's like this..."

Zhong Lihe recounted the general sequence of events.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yanli's expression turned slightly somber, a tightness forming in her chest.

Originally, she let Yu Zhe go with Chen Mo, thinking they could look out for each other, but unexpectedly, it almost turned into a disaster?!

She had absolute trust in Chen Mo; since Chen Mo said Yu Zhe had issues, then Yu Zhe must have issues...but Zhong Lihe also made sense, the Gu God Sect couldn't possibly have such capabilities.

There are only a few people who could infiltrate the Xuan Armor Guard within the entire Capital City!

Who could it possibly be?

"Such a disturbance has been caused, the person behind this will surely try to escape tonight, the entire Bailu City must be sealed off immediately!" Chu Yanli took out the Tiger Talisman at her waist, infused True Yuan, and a dazzling golden light appeared.

The Xuan Armor Guard could no longer be fully trusted, she decided to summon her own army to take over the city and trap the culprit!

However, after waiting for a while, no response came.

"Strange, what's going on..."

...

...

Southern Wilderness.

The night hung low, heavy dark clouds sprawled across the sky, blocking the moonlight.

Faint sounds of thunder could be heard, the air filled with the scent of damp soil.

In a secluded valley, nearly a hundred members of the Barbarian Tribe lay concealed, clothed in leather armor, bows slung and swords sheathed, their towering and robust figures like iron towers, their multi-colored eyes shining with brutal gleams.

Each held a warhorse, its gray muscles resembling stones, a single horn on its head, biting on its bit, restlessly pawing the ground.

This was the Alien Beast "Qingyun Ju," rumored to possess the bloodline of Xiezhi, capable of bearing a thousand jin, swift as lightning, only the elite cavalry of several tribes may be equipped with it.

"Remember, our goal this time is only to harass and feign an attack, attract the attention of the Xuanhuang Army, do not linger in battle, take advantage and retreat!" Wu Ge said solemnly.

Though he didn't want to assist the Human Race, the two sides were partners; if they could send this batch of Barbarian Slaves into the Capital City, it would be crucial for them.

"Yes!"

The crowd raised their hands to pound their chests, responding loudly.

"Set out!"

Wu Ge waved his hand, the members of the Barbarian Tribe mounted their horses, thighs clamped, the steeds neighed a cry, wind whipped beneath their hooves, rushing towards the border post a hundred miles away.

In no time, they arrived near the border.

"Light it up, draw the bow——"

The Barbarian Cavalry set the Blast Talismans ablaze, drew their bows, and readied arrows.

Even though the settling horses were galloping fast, their forms were as steady as a rock, without a hint of tremor.

"Fire!"

Swoosh——Swoosh——Swoosh——

At the command, a dense rain of arrows fired into the fortress, detonating with a loud burst, flames rising to the sky!

However, they waited for a while but there was no reaction, as if the stationed soldiers were dead asleep.

"Something's not right!"

Wu Ge felt a surge of danger, raised his hand to fire a Sound Arrow, shouting, "Retreat! Leave immediately!"

The Barbarian Cavalry obeyed the order immediately, reining back their steeds, hooves cutting long furrows into the dirt, then turned, charging towards the wasteland at full speed!

Rumble——

At this moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

...

Outside Bailu City.

Torrential rain poured down.

A figure soared out of the moat, dragging a chain behind, with a dozen Barbarian Slaves tied together, each adorned with a Breath-holding Talisman, still unconscious.

Qi Ye lit a talisman, sending the message, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Looking back at the city, a cold smile curled up his lips.

"Chu Yanli would never have imagined, the batch of Barbarian Slaves on the merchant ship were merely a diversion, the underground of Bailu City had long since been tunneled...who could stop me if I wished to leave?"

"As for Chen Mo..."

"Four Grandmasters joined forces, coupled with that Purple Nether Devouring Jade, even a First Grade would be powerless! No matter how lucky he is, there's no chance he leaves alive!"

"If he stayed in the Capital City, it would be tough to act against him, but he willingly delivered himself, truly heaven favors me, hahaha..."

Clap——

Clap——

Suddenly, the crisp sound of clapping echoed.

? !

Qi Ye's smile froze, abruptly turning his head.

A handsome man emerged from the shadows, clapping his hands, shaking his head, "I must admit, your plan was solid, but unfortunately, you overlooked one thing..."

"Chen Mo, how are you here..."

Words came to an abrupt halt.

Seeing the dark surroundings behind Chen Mo, where two emerald lights slowly lit up, Qi Ye's neck seemed gripped, fear and horror etched on his face!

"Yu, Yu Youhan?!"

"Not only do you have reinforcements, but so do I." Chen Mo said with a smile, "Looks like my 'jade' is superior, doesn't it?"
