Ye Shu walked over and stood in front of Liu Dachun, asking, "Just now, weren't you going to kill me?"

Liu Dachun looked up. He had just seen this person walking very close to his idol! He suddenly felt something was wrong and broke into a cold sweat, quickly kowtowing, "I was blind and failed to recognize your esteemed identity! I deserve death! Please forgive me, my lord!" He was so scared he almost wet his pants!

This was the Demon Sect's supreme leader, Luo Jiuyan! Being able to exchange a few words with her was a great honor, and this unbelievably handsome man before him not only could approach her but also converse with her normally. It was clear how prestigious his status must be! He was definitely a big shot in the Demon Sect! Don't be fooled by his Golden Core level appearance; some people like to play the pig to eat the tiger, deliberately pretending to be of a lower realm to mess with others. That must be the case here.

Liu Dachun buried his head as low as possible, completely prostrating himself at Ye Shu's feet.

"What! Are you kidding me? You're the city lord of Luoyang City, how can you kneel before a dog's thing!" Zhang Hongyan, standing not far behind him, couldn't hold back her disbelief.

No one could understand how, in such a short time, the two people across from them had made the city lord of Luoyang kneel and submit. The crowd behind had varied expressions, but all were shocked by the city lord's humble posture. It was too strange! They were all wondering who these people were.

"Bold!" Liu Dachun, kneeling on the ground, turned around and angrily looked at Zhang Hongyan, "Do you know who you're talking to?"

Zhang Hongyan widened her eyes, clearly you were just speaking for me, why are you now speaking for them?

Ye Shu stood in front of him, frowning, feeling that he was also somewhat fickle, "Just now you were asked to choose between helping me or her, what's going on with you now?"

Liu Dachun trembled and kowtowed on the ground, "My lord, I was deceived by that witch and acted foolishly, please forgive me."

"Oh," Ye Shu lightly responded, clasped his hands behind his back, took two steps back, and muttered, "Forgiveness, that depends on your performance."

"I understand!" Hearing this, Liu Dachun's eyes lit up, and he jumped up, facing Zhang Hongyan's direction with a fierce look.

"What are you going to do!" Zhang Hongyan was still fuming over being called a witch, but when she saw Liu Dachun's expression, she felt danger. What was he going to do? Could it be...

"I, Zhang Hongyan, am the direct disciple of the Hehuan Sect's leader, are you crazy? You want to attack me!" Zhang Hongyan shouted loudly. Although she was scared now, she didn't feel despair. With her status as the Hehuan Sect leader's disciple, no matter how bad it got, it wouldn't be that bad.

"I have no choice!" Liu Dachun muttered. Then he rushed over, fast as lightning, and under Zhang Hongyan's shocked gaze, subdued her with fierce moves, kneeling her head on the ground with his knee. Liu Dachun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if she's Hu Ling's direct disciple, so what? The person across is the Nine Nether Demoness Luo Jiuyan! Even Hu Ling here would have to respectfully call her senior sister and lower her head! So, offending the entire Hehuan Sect is better than offending Luo Jiuyan!

Liu Dachun knew what was more important and subdued her first to show his stance. He said to Ye Shu, "My lord, I have subdued her, how do you want to handle her? Kill her or spare her life?"

He knew he wasn't qualified to speak with Luo Jiuyan and could only communicate with this young man before him. He also left the decision on Hu Ling's handling to him, so if there was any responsibility to be pursued, Liu Dachun could push it onto the two of them.

Ye Shu didn't rush to answer but walked over to Zhang Hongyan, looking at her face pressed against the ground, twisted beyond recognition, and shook his head regretfully.

Originally, today was going well, coming down the mountain to be affectionate with his master. But a little vixen popped up halfway, which was... quite fun.

Ye Shu didn't hesitate, stretched out his foot, and kicked Zhang Hongyan's face.

"Don't forget, what did you promise us?"

Zhang Hongyan's throat loosened, and she could finally take a couple of deep breaths. Under Ye Shu's gaze, she felt humiliated and wished she could kill this guy with her eyes! But now she was in a dangerous situation, at the mercy of others, with no strength to resist.

"Do I really have to say it? If I don't... I feel like they might really kill me!"

Although Zhang Hongyan really didn't want to fulfill the bet, the current situation wasn't up to her. She could only reluctantly, with a red face, say, "My master is a sow! My master is a sow! My master..." She repeated it ten times in one breath, then cried her heart out, looking utterly devastated.

If this got to her master's ears, she would be dead or... She didn't dare to imagine further. It was better to save her life first, so what if she said such shameless things? As long as she could live!

After Ye Shu finished listening, he glanced at Luo Jiuyan, and through the veil, he saw her face still cold. He turned back to Zhang Hongyan and shook his head, saying, "I seem to have forgotten, who is your master?"

Zhang Hongyan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. She thought, I said it so many times, how could you forget? She quickly said, "My master is Hu Ling! Hu Ling!"

Ye Shu nodded and continued to ask, "Then who is Hu Ling?"

"Hu Ling is..." Zhang Hongyan was about to say she's the leader of the Hehuan Sect. But as the words reached her mouth, she saw the smile in Ye Shu's eyes. She knew this wasn't the right answer, her face turned red, and she said in shame and anger, "Hu Ling is a sow!"

"Ah? That's right!" Ye Shu clapped his hands, turned to look at Luo Jiuyan, and saw a few smiles emerge from behind the veil. Then, he also smiled gently in his heart.

He asked Luo Jiuyan, "How should we handle her?" Whether to kill or spare her, Ye Shu still wanted to consider her opinion, after all, he was just borrowing her authority.

Luo Jiuyan didn't speak but reached out her hand, and a huge suction force swallowed up Zhang Hongyan, who was pressed on the ground. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Hongyan's neck was already in her hand.

"Please! Let me go..." Zhang Hongyan was horrified! At this moment, she was like a little chick easily picked up by someone, her life hanging by a thread. She felt despair, never expecting the opponent's strength to be so high, she was as fragile as paper in front of them.

"Fine!" Surprisingly, Luo Jiuyan agreed to the plea and slapped Zhang Hongyan! Her meridians were shattered! Her dantian was destroyed! The spiritual power inside her body escaped in all directions, visibly seeping out from Zhang Hongyan's body. Then, Luo Jiuyan casually threw her to the ground.

"I've been crippled!" She lay on the ground, touching her ruined foundation, feeling despair!
