Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 741: Chapter 401: The Orphan Girl, the Demoness, and the Witch

Western Emperor Palace.

In front of the Celestial Martial Hall.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

A seductive woman slowly stepped forward, her six fox tails swaying behind her. Everywhere she went, countless members of the Imperial Army and Golden Snake Guard were momentarily dazed, and then they began to slaughter each other.

This enchanting woman walked gracefully, exuding captivating allure. Despite her beauty, she was nothing but a devil bringing disaster and death.

Wu Zheng stared at the strange woman below in disbelief:

"The Si family orphan has actually fallen into demonic ways?! Empress, didn’t you say she was dead?"

Lin Yuan replied coldly, "She didn’t die then, and she will die today. It doesn’t matter."

"You say that so easily. I disagreed with the matter of the Si family back then, but you forced me. Today, you must protect my life!"

Wu Zheng watched as more and more members of the Imperial Army and Golden Snake Guard were bizarrely slaughtering each other. The terrifying red figure was drawing closer to the Celestial Martial Hall.

Suddenly, he recalled the Emperor’s Mausoleum inexplicably collapsing before the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, and the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger.

Lin Yuan glanced at him disdainfully, "Don’t worry, I don’t have to lift a finger. She won’t reach us."

Then shouted loudly, "All Golden Snake Guards heed my command, rush to the Celestial Martial Hall immediately, and exterminate the traitorous remnant Si Minglan!"

Her voice, carried by spiritual power, spread to all sides, and soon the skies over the palace shone with the unique golden snake emblem of the Golden Snake Guard, signaling the order.

Wu Zheng was stunned.

"Empress, did you really have so many men lying in wait in the Imperial Palace?"

Lin Yuan calmly replied, "I told you, the Western Imperial City is not yours."

Wu Zheng’s face turned pale, and he fell silent. Lin Yuan chuckled lightly and continued:

"Soon, three thousand Golden Snake Guards will arrive. The nine-tailed fox is indeed an Ancient Divine Beast with the power to charm hearts, but Si Minglan has only six tails and can charm at most a thousand people."

"The remaining nearly five thousand Golden Snake Guards and Imperial Army are enough to kill her."

"Even if she manages to escape the Western Imperial City, there are still ten thousand National Defense Army outside. Today, the traitorous Si family remnants cannot fly away!"

Wu Zheng sighed, "Empress, I concede. You are the true Sovereign of the Western Imperial Dynasty."

Lin Yuan sneered, "Wu Zheng, do you really think I value these things?"

Wu Zheng lowered his head and slowly said, "Once the matter is settled, I will abdicate to the Sixth Prince, just spare my life."

Lin Yuan no longer looked at Wu Zheng, and she slowly raised her hand:

"Imperial Army, Golden Snake Guards heed my command. Surround the demoness and wait for the reinforcements to attack together!"

"Yes!"

The members of the Imperial Army and Golden Snake Guard obeyed the order and surrounded Si Minglan.

Yet, many were still under Si Minglan’s charm technique, continuing to slaughter each other.

But, as Lin Yuan stated, about a thousand people were under Si Minglan’s charm technique. After that, no one else fell for the charm.

"The demoness truly cannot charm any more people!"

"Surround her, prepare the Divine Bow!"

The soldiers were greatly encouraged and completely encircled Si Minglan.

The Divine Bow also blockaded any chance she had of flying away to escape.

Both the Imperial Army and Golden Snake Guards were cultivators, at worst in the late-period of Foundation Establishment. They now only had to wait for the three thousand reinforcements to arrive, and they could wear Si Minglan down to death.

Lin Yuan overlooked Si Minglan and said coldly, "Si Family orphan, I once showed mercy and spared your life, yet it turned into a great disaster, harming the Eldest Prince. Today, I shall show no mercy."

"Ha....."

Trapped in the encirclement, Si Minglan’s face showed no sign of panic. She raised her head to look at Lin Yuan atop the Celestial Martial Hall, displaying disdain:

"Lin Yuan, Wu Zheng, are you aware of how many innocent women your Eldest Prince harmed, how many people he killed?"

"You don’t care. One of you seeks to control mortal imperial power through the Immortal Flying Pavilion, the other wishes to preserve your throne. The suffering of the world, the innocent lives, none of you care."

"My father Si Yuanwu opposed the Western Imperial Dynasty being controlled by the Immortal Flying Pavilion and opposed Lin Yuan ascending to the position of Empress, and thus he earned your enmity."

"So, Lin Yuan, you instructed Si Mingcheng to fabricate evidence of my father’s betrayal, slaughtering my entire Si family overnight!"

"Wu Zheng, you as Sovereign knew the Si family’s grievances, but listened to Lin Yuan’s monstrous deeds without objection, all to secure your Emperor’s Throne."

"Today, not only will I kill you, but I will also expose your atrocities to the world!"

"Let the people of the Four Domains see what kind of beasts the Empress and Emperor of the Western Imperial City truly are!"

Upon hearing Si Minglan’s words, the soldiers around her wore expressions of shock:

"Twenty years ago, was the Si family framed?"

"Impossible, there was said to be ironclad evidence back then, Si Yuanwu himself admitted it!"

"Be cautious, it’s definitely this demoness speaking her deceiving words!"

The crowd looked to the atop the hall at the Empress and Emperor. Wu Zheng’s expression varied unpredictably, finally he spoke with commanding presence and loudly declared:

"Bold Si Minglan, back then your father colluded with the enemy in treason, the evidence was irrefutable, the case was personally overseen by me, there was no injustice!"

"Back then, the Empress and I spared you because you were young and ignorant, who knew you would repay kindness with enmity, assassinate my Eldest Prince, and even practice Demon Sect Techniques, such treachery deserves death by everyone!"

With the Emperor saying this, the soldiers’ hearts settled, and their gaze at Si Minglan was filled with murderous intent, no longer hesitant.

Si Minglan suddenly burst into laughter.

Wu Zheng frowned, "Si family remnant, why do you laugh?"

Si Minglan’s smile was seductive as her fox tails swayed, "Haven’t you noticed? Why haven’t those three thousand Golden Snake Guards arrived yet?"

Lin Yuan’s expression changed slightly; the nearby Golden Snake Guards should have arrived long ago, but there was no movement.

She looked at Si Minglan, "You have accomplices?!"

Si Minglan giggled, "Don’t worry, they’re merely helping me block the other Golden Snake Guards. The one to kill you is me alone!"

As she finished, her six fox tails suddenly stood, a crimson circle of light surged from her center, sending the surrounding Imperial Army and Golden Snake Guard flying back.

Even the archers on the rooftops screamed as they fell.

Si Minglan’s figure flickered, already airborne, that vibrant red figure hovered above the Celestial Martial Hall, staring down at Lin Yuan below, her hands extending sharp claws.

A pair of fox claws suddenly descended, two massive claw auras appeared mid-air and instantly reached Lin Yuan!

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, she drew circles with her green blade, the green light flickering, barely blocking the crimson claw aura.

With her other hand, she struck down, knocking Wu Zheng and Wu Tai unconscious.

"Six fox tails, merely Nascent Soul seventh-layer, and you dare come courting death."

Lin Yuan snapped back, her green blade pointed, the sword tip shooting out a straight sword aura, directly piercing towards Si Minglan.

Si Minglan unexpectedly did not dodge, rushing straight at Lin Yuan!

That green sword aura struck her abdomen, piercing through her body, yet Si Minglan’s face showed no pain, she instantly closed the distance with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan’s expression shifted, "Body Cultivation Technique?!"

Si Minglan’s eyes flashed with red light, Lin Yuan’s body slightly halted, then two crimson claw auras swept past.

Blood sprayed forth, the red phoenix robe on Lin Yuan’s body revealing several long, narrow scars!

"You dared to trade wound for wound?"

Lin Yuan couldn’t believe it, and at this moment her behind sounded a scream.

She turned around abruptly, only to see Wu Zheng’s chest protruding a sword tip, behind him was the grinning face of Wu Tai.
