I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 806

Chapter 806: Chapter 302: The Demon Lord Appears! What a Huge Carriage!

Chen Mo swiftly flew towards Tiandu City, holding a communication Spirit Jade in his hand that was flashing with a glaring red light - a signal from the Imperial Prison.

"Something’s happened indeed!"

His expression darkened, his speed increased again, like a lightning bolt streaking across the sky, and in no time he arrived at the city gates.

The gates were already closed, and as soon as Chen Mo landed from above, he was surrounded by a group of armored soldiers, their weapons glinting with cold light.

"Who goes there?"

An officer asked sternly, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist, his expression full of vigilance, and one could vaguely hear the bowstrings tautening on the wall.

The city was in complete chaos, since the Demon Clan was suppressed by the Three Saints, there hadn’t been such turmoil!

The atmosphere was extremely tense, any slight disturbance could ignite a violent conflict!

At this moment, someone shouted loudly:

"Stop!"

Chen Mo looked up, and saw a figure flying down from the city wall.

He looked familiar, it was Yu Yu, the Vice Envoy of the Military Prison he’d encountered several times before.

"This is Deputy Thousand Households of the Sky Scale Guard, and Personal Merit Guard General, Mr. Chen Mo!"

"Why aren’t you sheathing your weapons?!"

Yu Yu said solemnly.

Everyone naturally knew the name, and quickly sheathed their swords, yet still remained vigilant.

Yu Yu approached Chen Mo, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, the city is already under martial law, no one is allowed to enter."

Chen Mo frowned and said: "Even with the imperial gold token?"

Yu Yu shook his head and said: "This is a strict order from above, we dare not defy it."

The sudden explosion earlier caught everyone off guard.

Besides the devastating casualties among the common people, a portion of the Eightfold Exorcism Array was destroyed, temporarily disabling the function to detect Demon Energy, and the Demon Clan is adept at disguises, almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

At a critical moment like this, if a few demons were let in, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Therefore, the Five Cities Military Department promptly shut the city gates, sealed the ports, and closed off all relay routes, waiting for the Capital Guard to arrive for support.

Until the situation is fully stabilized, no one may enter or leave the Capital City.

Chen Mo’s frown deepened.

This situation was something he hadn’t anticipated, martial law is justified, he couldn’t just force his way in.

"Wait..."

Suddenly, he thought of something, somewhat puzzled he said: "If I remember correctly, you’re from the East City Military Department, right? Why aren’t you guarding the East City Gate, but came to the south instead?"

Yu Yu hesitated slightly, looked around, and transmitted sound: "It was Lord Lin’s arrangement, he said he could guard the East City himself and asked me to bring people to support at other gates..."

"Lord Lin?"

Chen Mo recalled, when he went to the Prince Yu Mansion to arrest someone previously, he had a conflict with Lin Junxian, the Commander of the East City Military Department.

This man was a die-hard loyalist of Prince Yu!

"Not good!"

Lin Junxian looked somewhat flustered, said with a bitter voice: "You only told me to open the city gates on the day of the grand ceremony to cover Young Master leaving the city, but not that it would cause such a commotion!"

Several blocks in South City were destroyed by explosions, countless houses collapsed, and civilian casualties were impossible to tally!

And Chu Heng suddenly left the city at this time, even with closed eyes, one could guess who was behind it!

This is a treasonous crime that demands death to nine generations!

He just wanted to use the power of the Prince Mansion to further his career, but instead, inexplicably became an accomplice! Directly from high-ranking Commander of the Military Prison, to a suspect in treason!

"It’s a bit late for Lord Lin to say this now." Duan Zhongmou glanced at him indifferently, and said: "Do you think there’s any way of turning back?"

Lin Junxian clenched his fists, his gaze turning darker, yet he knew the other was stating the truth.

The situation had reached this point, there was no turning back.

He took a deep breath, calming his emotions, and said: "Then where do we go now? Jiu Zhou surely won’t accept us, maybe head south to join the Barbarians? With Young Master’s status, they should be eager to recruit..."

Suddenly——

The words abruptly stopped.

Lin Junxian’s expression froze, and he slowly looked down.

One saw an old, wrinkled hand piercing through his chest.

"Mr. Duan?"

Lin Junxian looked somewhat incredulous.

"You are a good dog, but not very bright." Duan Zhongmou tossed him aside like trash, his body devoured by black flames in mid-air, turning to ashes along with his Divine Soul.
