Chapter 784: Capture Her! [Xiong Yi Chen Appeared]
"Capture that woman at all costs and bring her to our emperor. She possesses something extraordinary," Shi Ji said, a smile forming on his normally stoic face. However, it was a smile that concealed a dangerous intent, his once-calm blue eyes now clouded with a deepening darkness.
"For centuries, almost a billion years, no one has managed to attain that ancient inscription. Who is she?" Demon Prince Xie licked her lips, her sharp red eyes fixated on Di Xiuyu as if she were stalking her prey.
No one could provide an answer, and what happened next was swift. Shi Ji took matters into his own hands, personally approaching Di Xiuyu. Anyone who dared to interfere met a cruel fate. Those loyal to Di Xiuyu sacrificed themselves to fend off the Demon King Shi, but they were mercilessly cut down in the process.
Di Xiuyu felt a chill run through her as she struggled against Shi Ji, realizing just how outmatched she was. His grip tightened around her delicate neck, and it felt like the world around her faded, leaving only his blind, indifferent gaze.
Shock rippled through the crowd at this turn of events.
"Yao, Yasha," Shi Ji commanded, "come with me. I’ll take this woman to our emperor. She might be the one he’s been searching for." With no interest in lingering, he vanished with Yao and Yasha in tow.
"Release her!" The leaders of all factions erupted in anger. They attempted to pursue him, but Shi Ji unleashed another ten ice beasts, as formidable as the ones Shenlian Yingyue had previously defeated.
"Where do you think you’re going?" Bi Xie, tall and imposing, blocked the way of anyone attempting to rescue Di Xiuyu.
Before they could respond, the Invisible Demon launched an attack. Though wounded by Xie Xie earlier, he found it easy to deal with these humans who couldn’t perceive him, unlike the sharp-eyed Xie Xie.
