Chapter 1249 - 76: Pengyu Three Demons
"You are actually a Witch Summoner?" Lu Yunshuang was taken aback upon seeing the two. She had known Yun Sheng’s strength was formidable, but she hadn’t expected that she was also a Witch Summoner.
"Witch Summoner? I’m a Summoner," Yun Sheng, considering Lu Yunshuang as her own, didn’t hide anything. "Night Charm Queen, King of Ghost Evil, I order you to bring your Chi Mei and Ghostly Evil. Tonight, launch a surprise attack on the Demon Beasts above Holy-grade in the Bahuang Mountain Range, then lead those beasts to the clearing ahead."
Lu Yunshuang looked in the direction Yun Sheng pointed. Wasn’t that the camp where Hu Linglong and Yu Shang had settled earlier?
A large-scale Holy Beast assault... This might be the most unforgettable night for Hu Linglong and Yu Shang in their lives.
Lu Yunshuang, watching Yun Sheng’s relaxed demeanor, secretly rejoiced in her heart that she had chosen to be friends with Yun Sheng.
This woman was truly treacherous.
Since they hadn’t found the best campsite, Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang decided to temporarily rest on a tree more than ten meters high before it got completely dark.
Both sat cross-legged on the tree. Above them, the sky was dotted with stars that sparkled like tiny flames.
Around them, there was only the sound of rustling leaves being blown by the wind.
Around the first half of the night, the sound of hurried footsteps came from under the tree.
"Someone’s coming. Let’s go down and take a look." Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang exchanged glances and discovered a figure moving swiftly through the forest towards them.
"It’s Qin Yue." Yun Sheng recognized the newcomer with just a glance.
In an instant, the two landed on the ground.
"Yun Sheng, Lu Yunshuang, it’s great to run into you two." At their sudden appearance, the hurried Qin Yue was startled, but upon seeing it was them—especially Yun Sheng—her eyes lit up.
She abandoned her earlier disdainful and sarcastic attitude toward Yun Sheng and held onto Yun Sheng’s sleeve eagerly.
"Hua Yanluo and I were ambushed on the way, and now they’re both seriously injured. Yun Sheng, you’re a Doctor, and we’re all from Cangdu; you must have a way to save them." Qin Yue chattered on, her eyes glistening with tears, looking very pitiful.
Without showing any emotion, Yun Sheng shook off Qin Yue’s hand, who awkwardly stood her ground.
"Are you just going to watch us die without helping? Yun Sheng, don’t forget, you were ordered by Master Helai to escort us to Cangdu. Now that the three of us are in danger, you’re going to stand idly by?" Qin Yue gritted her teeth.
"Yun Sheng, it seems like she’s telling the truth," Lu Yunshuang recalled that back at the camp, she didn’t see the three candidates for the Holy Daughter from Cangdu.
"For Master Helai’s sake, I’ll save them this once. You’d better not play any tricks." Yun Sheng’s impression of Qin Yue was always not good; at first, she pretended to be a delicate flower, trying to please everyone. After being chosen as a candidate for the Holy Daughter of Fengdu, she repeatedly made things difficult. Would someone like that risk her life to seek a doctor for her teammates?
She’s just glad she didn’t betray her teammates.
Yun Sheng sneered inwardly. Even if she knew it was a trap ahead, she wanted to see what game Qin Yue was playing.
"They’re just ahead in the woods; follow me." Qin Yue eagerly led Yun Sheng and the others forward.
"Let’s see how you die this time." Qin Yue walked ahead, the sadness on her face from earlier gone, replaced by a triumphant, conspiratorial smile in her eyes.
Ahead, appearing was a shrub nearly as tall as a person, with two women lying on the ground beside it.
Judging by their figures, it was indeed Feng Lian and Hua Yanluo.
"How are you two?" Lu Yunshuang reached out her hand to check.
"Don’t touch them," Yun Sheng’s keen senses detected that the two already had no breath as she approached the shrubs.
Unfortunately, Yun Sheng’s words were a bit late. Lu Yunshuang had already touched "Hua Yanluo," and the supposedly lying "Hua Yanluo" suddenly lifted her head.
Her face was ghastly blue, with white eyeballs, and her body was decayed and decomposed.
A fierce gust of palm wind, "Hua Yanluo" raised her hand and grabbed Lu Yunshuang’s hand.
Where she touched, Lu Yunshuang’s nearly snow-white arm now had a bluish-green mark.
"Fire Flame Burst!" A fireball shot toward "Hua Yanluo."
The other let out a wretched scream as the flames ignited her arm.
"Ice Seal," Lu Yunshuang only then recognized the trap, quickly chanting, and her arm turned to ice to temporarily block out the poison from "Hua Yanluo’s" fingers.
The iced arm had turned blue. If it wasn’t for Yun Sheng’s timely intervention and the Ice Seal’s effect, Lu Yunshuang might have already succumbed to the poison.
"Tsk, even after getting the poison, you’re still not dead—truly lucky." Qin Yue stood alongside "Hua Yanluo" and "Feng Lian," her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred, beside whom "Hua Yanluo" and "Feng Lian" were like walking corpses, their bodies decayed.
It seemed the two of them had been dead for some time, turned into rotten corpses.
"Qin Yue, were they turned into this because of your treachery?" Yun Sheng had always known Qin Yue wasn’t a good person, but she hadn’t expected she’d betray her companions like this.
"Don’t make it sound so ugly. What do you mean by betrayal? They became like this all because they asked for it. If they had obediently followed the Pengyu Three Demons’ orders, they wouldn’t have ended up like this."
Like other capitals, the three candidates for the Holy Daughter of Fengdu acted together.
The trio was not lucky enough to reach the Sky Fox Camp where Hu Linglong and the others were before nightfall, and had no choice but to temporarily stay in the dense forest.
A few hours earlier, a three-headed monster bird appeared, turning into three-headed monster humans, known as the Pengyu Three Demons. The three women were overwhelmed and captured.
After interrogation, the demons learned the three women knew Yun Sheng.
The Three Demons coerced the three women to lure Yun Sheng, but Feng Lian and Hua Yanluo refused, so the demons turned them into rotten corpses. Qin Yue, afraid for her life and holding a grudge against Yun Sheng, immediately begged for mercy and agreed to seek Yun Sheng’s whereabouts.
This led to the earlier scene where Qin Yue pretended to seek help.
Yun Sheng was not from the Bahuang Continent and didn’t know much about the corrupt Fuxiao Three Demons, but Lu Yunshuang knew them well.
"Pengyu Three Demons? Qin Yue, you’re actually colluding with the Eight Great Tribes’ exiled traitors!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yunshuang’s expression changed, her eyes vigilantly surveying the surroundings.
"Hahahaha—who would have thought after so many years, someone still remembers the names of us three brothers," a voice echoed like ghostly wails.
A bird with flapping wings flew down from a tree nearby.
It was a three-headed bird. When it landed, it transformed into a human.
