As the fog covered the entire room, Xuan Yi and Young Master Ma could feel the temperature drop until it was freezing. But it does not have any effect on Xuan Yi and it seems to be so for Young Master Ma as well which made Xuan Yi raise some eyebrows at him. Before Xuan Yi could think about it further, the door of Yun Le's slowly opened and the Yin Demon Xuan Yi saw the night before walked out.
She was not alone, there were 2 others with her and they made their way over with unpleasant smiles on their pale faces. Xuan Yi edged to the side of the room to avoid bumping into them. This invisibility spell is different from the one she used previously. That was lifting her soul out of her body and souls are not restricted to objects so Xuan Yi could walk through objects and people but the current spell she is using is just making her body invisible. If the Yin Demons walk into her, they will know that she is there even if they cannot see her.
"Sister has caught a good looking one," one of the Yin Demons grinned as she eyed Yun Qi before she laid her eyes on Young Master Ma.
"This one is good looking but he seems a bit not right?" she continued, her fingers went under his chin and she tilted his head up. Young Master Ma stared back defiantly even though Xuan Yi could see his hands tremble a bit under his sleeves.
"The fog has no effect?" The other Yin Demon came over and stared at Young Master Ma as though he was some delicacy. Xuan Yi could almost see the demon salivating.
"Either he has extremely strong yang energy or somehow he is just resistant? I think I have seen some of these special ones around her Highness." The Yin Demon that controlled Yun Le spoke up from behind as she observed Young Master Ma.
Xuan Yi could not understand why the three demons could not sense the dark imprint on Young Master Ma even when they are so close to him. It is not that hard to sense it unless the person who placed it is a powerful figure. Xuan Yi frowned as she went through the list in her head. There are not many powerful figures in the realm of the undead. She as the demon lord is the most powerful after her teacher, the previous demon lord. Now her teacher is in closed-door cultivation for a century so she is currently the most powerful person. After Xuan Yi would be the clan heads of the different clans. She ran through the different clan heads in her mind and the only person that she could think of is the head of the Vampires. That person is unpredictable and uncontrollable, a very difficult person to deal with and Xuan Yi would want to avoid having anything to do with him just because he is a troublesome person.
Xuan Yi shook her head with a wary smile. This has nothing to do with him, there is no reason for him to place a dark imprint on a human. It's not worth his time so he is not likely to do it.
Concentrating on the current scene before her, she saw that Young Master Ma is blocking the three Yin Demons from approaching Yun Qi. Yun Le is a female which is not what they want so they all surrounded the two men with smirks. There is no way a human can overpower a demon even if they are men so the Yin Demons were just taunting them.
"Don't come any closer!" Young Master Ma hid Yun Qi behind his body as he tried his best to fend the Yin Demons off. He could sense that they are not normal humans and he might not even survive this so he is panicking inside.
"He is such a cute one, can we keep him for ourselves? Her Highness only wanted this one right?" One of them pointed towards Yun Qi and her sister frowned.
"But we are not allowed to kidnap humans," her sister told her. Her Highness only wanted the human called Yun Qi and if they were caught, they can say they are acting under their leader's orders. But if they were asked about the other human, how were they going to explain?
"Why worry, dear sister? We can just send both of them to her Highness and ask this one as a gift. Her Highness is generous, surely she would gift him to us." The first Yin Demon grinned at her sister but her sister was still hesitant.
"But what if the Lady finds out?" she whispered, slightly trembling as she thought of being found out.
"Her Highness is the leader of us Yin Demons and also the future wife of the head of Vampires. Even if that wrench doesn't give her Highness face, she still needs to give some to the future wife of the Vampires." The leader told her with a lofty smile before she turned towards Young Master Ma with a sharp glint in her eyes.
"We should hurry. We would not want to keep her Highness waiting," the Yin Demons nodded and one of them grabbed Young Master Ma's arm. Dragging him aside, the Yin Demons reached for Yun Qi only to feel a strong force coming from their right side. The tyrannical force sent the three of them flying to the other end of the sitting room and they lay there dazed and confused.
"Who dares to attack me!" The leader of the group shrieked. She is the most beautiful and faithful follower of her Highness, leader of the Yin Demons and is heavily respected by others of her clan. Never had she been in such a disheveled state. She would like to see who has such guts to attack the most valued follower of the leader of the Yin Demons.
Xuan Yi waved off her invisibility spell and stood before them. The moment they saw Xuan Yi, their eyes went wide in terror as they huddled closer together as though they are trying to meld into the shadows. Xuan Yi walked a few more steps so that the humans are behind her and she stared down at the three demons laying on the floor with expressionless eyes.
"My Lady, spare me. Please, I beg of you, please spare my life." The Yin Demon who collapsed onto her knees first was the one who was hesitant and worried about Xuan Yi finding out their activities.
Before Xuan Yi could say anything the leader stood up bravely and shouted, "Yin Ze greets the Lady."
Xuan Yi eyed the leader of the group with cold eyes while the others felt like slapping their leader in the face. This is the Lady, who are you to shout at her face? Why are you announcing your name? What makes you think she cares about your name?
Seeing that Xuan Yi did not reply, Yin Ze thought that maybe Xuan Yi realized how important she is and her confidence soared. She flipped her hair and combed her fingers through to make herself look more presentable before she faced Xuan Yi with a smirk as though saying she is someone that Xuan Yi cannot offend.
"Her Highness said that she sensed a person with a pure Yang constitution and wanted to obtain him. Yin Ze is acting on behalf of her Highness and hopes that the Lady will close one eye to this matter." Yin Ze told her.
The other two Yin Demons looked at Yin Ze and saw how confident she was. They then took a sneak peek at the Lady's expression as it got colder and colder and they shivered. Even if the Lady was feeling merciful, their leader is going to get them killed if she continues talking.
"Capturing humans are forbidden," Xuan Yi stated, her face cold and hard.
"Lady, this is a request from her Highness of the Yin Demons. Recently, the food supply is not enough for her Highness and she is growing a little weak. A human with a pure yang constitution will help her recover quicker. Her Highness is the future wife of the clan head, will the Lady please step aside." Yin Ze straightened her back and wanted to walk past Xuan Yi after she has said her piece when she felt herself being thrown back.
She hit the wall hard and collapsed onto the floor, a trail of bright red blood dripped from her lips. Her eyes glared fiercely at Xuan Yi as she struggled to stand up.
"I am the follower most valued by her Highness, how dare you hit me!" She snarled and was about to pounce at Xuan Yi when she suddenly felt an immense pressure on her body, making her drop onto her knees. It was as if she was kneeling to Xuan Yi and she could not move no matter how hard she tried.
Xuan Yi walked towards her and raised her hand before she slapped the insolent demon before her.
Smack!
The sound resounded throughout the entire room and the shocked Yin Ze placed her hand over the side of her cheek where it feels extremely hot. Before she could process anything, Xuan Yi's hand sliced through the air in front of her in a downwards motion. Yin Ze frowned and could not understand what Xuan Yi just did. It was only when her clan members who are lying not too far away from her started screaming and pointing at her hand that she looked down to see her hand has been cut off.
"My arm! My arm!" Yin Ze's mind finally registered the pain of her amputated arm and cried miserably. She glared at Xuan Yi furiously before she made up her mind. Since she does not want to give her Highness any face, then she shall fight to the death with her. Once her Highness knows about this, she believed her Highness will avenge her.
