The Northern Kingdom was friendly with humanity, but that didnt mean they were willing to coexist with demons.

It was, in fact, the exact opposite; they detested demonkind.

Now, demons had suddenly invaded their borders, and with so many experts too. The wedding guests couldnt help but tightly knit their brows.

Violet Citys city lord, Hui Liu, reacted the same way.

Furthermore, he might call his own son a dog in an attempt at modesty, but dog of a son felt completely different coming from someone else.

If your thoughts went in the wrong direction, it was easy to interpret as son of a b*tch.

Furthermore, demons and the Northern Kingdom had always been on poor terms, so Hui Liu had no inclination to give the demons the benefit of the doubt.

Friends of the Demon Realm, this habit of showing up uninvited really makes things difficult for me. Hui Liu paused, looked over the demon experts, and continued, Ive never had any connections or contact with demons, either. Might I ask what youre here for?

Naturally, we have no direct connection with you, City Lord Hui. The hooded demon let out an eerie laugh, then looked away at the already nervous Zi Yun. He smiled. Actually, were old friends of the Zi Family, arent we, Young Master Zi Yun?

Theyd really come. He knew they would, but how did they get here so quickly?

But then, its your first time meeting us, isnt it? Young Master Zi Yun? Its entirely possible you dont recognize us, but your clans elders are as familiar with us as can be.

Then, the hooded man waved his hand. The demon expert behind him instantly strode forth.

Then, they heard the hooded figure laugh, Take a look, Young Master Zi Yun. See what gift weve brought you.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three elderly men, each bound hand and foot appeared. Their faces were smeared with blood, and their bodies were covered in wounds.

These were none other than the three elders of Jadewave Citys Zi Clan. It was obvious at a glance that theyd recently crossed blades with the demons, and that theyd suffered inhumane treatment as a result.

Elder! Zi Yun gnashed his tooth and roared. Zi Xia froze for a while, then stared intently at the demons leader.

The hooded demon crouched beside one of the elders and ripped out his cloth gag. Then, as the elder was still unconscious, he patted him on the head. Wake up! As an elder, you ought to be awake to congratulate your descendant at her wedding.

Wham!

The demon stepped on his head and crouched, his eyes soft yet sinister. I woke you up to congratulate her, not to say all that.

He waved his hand again, and the demon re-gagged the elder, then pushed him back and out of the way.

The guests fell silent. This wedding had been just one shock after another. Zi Xias cold feet, the demons arrival, the Zi Family elders warning

What was going on between the demons and the Zi Family?

Elder! ZI Yun roared, but the demons had already beaten the elder back into unconsciousness.

The hooded demon pressed his lips into a smile. And here I wanted him to be awake to congratulate you. How disappointing. But then, it seems I wasnt mistaken. The object were looking for is indeed in your hands. Honestly, we demons are reasonable people. If you hand it over without a fuss, we wont trouble you any further.

Next, he turned to the surrounding guests and laughed, Everyone, no need to panic. We solemnly swear not to harm you. Were just here to retrieve a certain something from Miss Zi here. Once weve got it, well leave, and you can carry on as you were.

Zi Yuns lips were already white; he was pursing them so hard it affected bloodflow. He already completely understood what was happening.

How are the rest of our clansmen? asked Zi Yun.

Theyre all doing well, said the hooded demon. Our boss is personally attending to your relatives, so no one will harm them. But whether theyre in danger or not is ultimately up to you, now isnt it?

Jadewave Citys Zi Family had fallen!

To Zi Yun, this was absolutely terrible news.

City Lord Hui, about our marriage alliance, are you Zi Yun turned to Hui Liu in an obvious plea for help. In the face of so many demon experts, Violet City was their only hope.

City Lord Hui, are you sure you want to get mixed up in all this? said the black-robed demon. It was an obvious threat.

Hmph. What do the Zi Familys affairs have to do with us? A marriage alliance..after this wedding, do you think youre worthy? Hiu Liu glowered coldly at Zi Yun, then turned to his followers. Take the young master back to his room. They want to use my Violet City as a spear against their enemies? I dont recognize this weddings legitimacy.

Wise indeed, City Lord, complimented the hooded demon.

City Lord! Zi Yun seemed on the verge of a mental breakdown. Violet City was his familys last and only hope. If even they.

The hell do you know? The only one who can save our family now is City Lord Hui. Hurry up and beg for mercy! Be quick about it! Zi Yun glared at her.

Beg for mercy? Couldnt you tell that what he just said was an excuse? He just wanted to avoid trouble. What good is pleading for mercy? asked Zi Xia.

Then what do you want? Dont tell me youre still hoping your Supreme Treasure will save you!

It seems I know who has the object Im after, said the hooded demon with a cold laugh. He shot forth, leaving a blurry streak of light in his wake as he reached for Zi Xia.

Angry and alarmed, Zi Yuns pupils constricted, but at that moment

Rosy light flooded down from above, dispersing the demons black cloud. A seven-colored magic cloud streaked by, then landed in front of the Fairy Zi Xias face. A figure stood, his back facing her, and grabbed the demon by the wrist.

Time instantly seemed to stop.

Fairy Zi Xia stared dazedly at this new arrival in his purple and white robes. His back was so familiar.

A blissful smile blossomed on her face, and a trail of tears streamed down her cheek as she murmured, Supreme Treasure, youre finally here.
