Chapter 948: Capturing Sophia Alive

Is it fair?

There is no such thing as fair or unfair in this world!

But Ye Xiu could feel Liuli’s mood at this moment, that feeling of hatred like a cat scratching at his heart; he had experienced it before.

And not just once.

"I can let you live for now and even allow you to fight into the Underground City, but you must agree to three conditions," Ye Xiu said.

Liuli, Chi Ming Demon Venerable, and Jiu You Old Demon did not expect Ye Xiu to give them a chance to wash away their shame. Hearing Ye Xiu say this, the three were overjoyed.

"Speak!" the three said in unison.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said, "First, don’t tell anyone that I’m still alive, but you can tell anyone that I’m already dead;"

"Second, don’t let Selina know that you’ve already uncovered her plot;"

"Third, after you and the Demon Clan army enter the Underground City, tell everyone in the Underground City that the Formation Master is dead."

Liuli and the other two did not expect Ye Xiu to make them agree to such conditions.

Liuli agreed without thinking: "No problem!"

Chi Ming Demon Venerable said: "Our Demon Clan may be savage and bloodthirsty, but we always keep our word. Once I wash away the shame, I will definitely come to seek your death."

Jiu You Old Demon said: "I, Jiu You, never promise anyone lightly. Today, I agree with you and will strictly adhere to your three conditions."

Ye Xiu nodded: "Go, let the three Judicator Families feel the anger of the Demon Clan, and let the people in the Underground City experience a sense of fear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liuli and the other two suddenly found that they could move, and they immediately left in a hurry.

After walking away, Liuli said, "I feel that Ye Xiu was not here to kill us."

Chi Ming snorted coldly: "He is here to sow discord, using our Demon Clan as a tool."

Jiu You Old Demon said in a deep voice: "Ye Xiu’s scheme is probably the most successful case of sowing discord in history, and we are willingly being used by him."

They were right!

The purpose of Ye Xiu was indeed to use the Demon Clan to attack the Underground City. Of course, there was another purpose:

First, the Underground City has more than 45 million people, which is way too many;

Second, by using the Demon Clan army to attack the Underground City, indirectly inform Lin Lei that the Shocking God and Demon Formation in the Underground City is no more, and then draw out Lin Lei and the forces of the Transcendent Laboratory;

Third, use the power of the Underground City to reduce and weaken the numbers and power of the Demon Clan.

As for why Ye Xiu wanted Liuli and the other two to agree to his three conditions.

There was only one purpose:

To let all forces know that Ye Xiu is dead, so that many uncertain factors will reveal themselves.

Especially the Dragon King’s Palace, which has been hidden in the shadows, might show itself!

"It’s time to return to Red Water City!"

Ye Xiu stretched his tired body and disappeared into the ground. Now, staying on Forest Island was of no use anymore. It’s better to return after the Demon Clan and the Underground City have fought it out.

"Hmm?"

After delving underground for more than half an hour, Ye Xiu suddenly heard a lot of footsteps on the ground and instantly poked his head out to take a look.

He saw a large crowd running chaotically.

And leading them was none other than Sophia.

Ye Xiu almost burst out laughing: "This Sophia is so unlucky, how does she always bump into me? Guess I’ll take her!"

At that moment, Sophia was leading the Golden Family’s two million strong army, racing towards King Island.

Her mission was to reach King Island, flatten Red Water City, eliminate the remnants of Ye Xiu, and seize the Dragon God Totem left by Ye Xiu in Red Water City.

"Although Ye Xiu is dead, with our two million strong force, we can easily flatten Red Water City, but everyone must not underestimate the enemy. Every person in Red Water City must be slain; if even one escapes, it could prove troublesome."

Leading at the front, Sophia shouted loudly.

"Understood!" The two million strong army shouted in unison, and just as they finished speaking, they suddenly saw a big pit appear abruptly ahead, and Sophia, who was at the very front, slipped and fell into the pit.

The two million strong army immediately stopped, gathered around the pit, and as they looked into the bottomless pit, they fell into collective bewilderment.

"Is this pit naturally formed due to loose soil, or was Lady Sophia secretly targeted by the Earth System Totem?"

"With Lady Sophia’s strength, if this pit were naturally formed, she would have instantly leapt out after falling in, but there hasn’t been any movement, indicating that an Earth System Totem Inheritor targeted Lady Sophia."

The two million strong army fell silent.

Their target was Red Water City!

Yet before they even arrived, their army commander was secretly targeted by a mysterious enemy and fell into a pit!

How are they supposed to fight now?

Should the army still proceed to Red Water City?

Leaderless!

The two million strong army was momentarily bewildered!

"Should we still go to Red Water City?"

After waiting by the edge of the pit for more than an hour, someone couldn’t help but ask.

"Lady Sophia fell into the pit, and there’s been no movement. It seems grim."

"We should return to the Underground City and have the Clan Leader assign us a new leader!"

So, the two million strong army turned back on the spot and ran towards the Underground City.

Once they were far away, Ye Xiu brought Sophia out from underground.

"I am the daughter of the Golden Family’s Clan Leader, one of the three Judicator Families. My name is Selina. I don’t care who you are. How dare you plot against me? Aren’t you afraid of the Golden Family’s revenge?"

Sophia showed no fear. Instead, she threatened the one who ambushed her.

Because Ye Xiu had control over her from behind, Sophia couldn’t see Ye Xiu’s face.

"I’m not afraid of a mere Golden Family, let alone the three Judicator Families. No one in the Underground City makes me blink an eye."

Ye Xiu released Sophia and said disdainfully.

Sophia regained her freedom, and the first thing she did was turn to look at the person who dared to hold her hostage.

When she saw Ye Xiu’s face, she was so scared as if a mouse saw a cat. She screamed, stepping back several meters in disbelief:

"Ye Xiu? You-you-you, aren’t you supposed to be dead?"

"I was supposed to be dead, but the King of Hell said my lifespan wasn’t over yet, so he sent me back."

Ye Xiu casually pulled Sophia towards him, holding her by the neck, and while absorbing Sophia’s Martial Prowess and Totem, he said:

"Say your last words, I will pass them on to Kristina, Stephanie, Clan Leader Selina of the Golden Family, and everyone in the Golden Family."

"Hmph!"

Sophia snorted coldly:

"The people of the Golden Family are upright and unyielding. We will not bow to anyone. If you want to kill, then do it; I won’t even frown."

"I couldn’t bear to let you die."

Ye Xiu smiled coldly, dragging Sophia as he tunneled underground towards Red Water City.

Along the way, Ye Xiu absorbed all of Sophia’s Martial Prowess and two Eighth Realm Totems.

"Why did you bring back an old lady?"
