Chapter 258 Strange Ritual

The purple-clothed man's long sword pointed directly at Yunluo, and a strange purple light shone on the sword.

The air in the hall froze instantly, and more than a dozen envoys stood up at the same time, weapons drawn in their hands.

"You are indeed all from the demon clan." Yunluo sneered and pulled out a silver sword from her sleeve. "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Yunshuang stood beside Yunluo, holding the jade pendant in her hand. A system notification sounded: "Demon energy fluctuations detected, recommending immediate activation of defense mode."

"Take action!" Zi Yi gave an order, and more than a dozen envoys rushed towards Yunluo at the same time.

Yunluo swept her sword across, and a silver sword energy whizzed out, forcing back the three envoys in front.

She turned to Yunshuang and said, "Go find Yu'er and ask her to notify the soldiers guarding the city."

"Want to leave?" Zi Yi sneered and waved his sword to block Yun Shuang's way. "No one can leave here today."

At this moment, the door of the hall was suddenly kicked open. A woman in red strode in, holding a fiery red whip in her hand.

"I want to see who dares to touch my people." The woman in red swung the whip, and the tip of the whip brought up a string of sparks.

"Master of the Fire Phoenix Pavilion!" Zi Yi's face changed.

Murong Yan, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Pavilion, is one of the four leaders of the Kingdom of Women and is famous for his fire-based skills.

She is generous by nature and has always been on good terms with Yunluo.

"Sister Murong." Yunluo smiled, "You came just in time."

Murong Yan walked over to Yunluo and glanced at the envoys present: "I was wondering why these envoys came here. Turns out they are minions of the demon clan."

"Do you think you two can stop us?" Zi Yi sneered, "The demonic blood has spread throughout the Kingdom of Women. Today is the day to witness the beginning of a new era!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a purple bead from her bosom. The bead exuded a chilling aura, and the temperature in the hall plummeted.

"Not good!" Murong Yan's face changed, "It's the magic bead, stop her quickly!"

But it was too late. Zi Yi crushed the magic bead, and a purple mist instantly spread out.

The envoys were shrouded in fog, their bodies began to twist and deform, and a strange purple light appeared in their eyes.

"This is... demonization!" Yun Shuang exclaimed. The system immediately popped up a prompt: "Warning!

High concentration of demonic energy detected, advise to leave immediately."

"Hahaha!" Zi Yi laughed wildly, "Let's witness the power of the demons!"

The mutated envoys' aura surged, and they exuded a powerful demonic energy.

Their skin turned purple-black, their nails extended into claws, and they even grew bone spurs on their backs.

"Yunshuang, go find Yu'er!" Yunluo forced a demonic envoy back with a sword. "Sister Murong and I will hold them back!"

Yunshuang turned around and was about to run, but saw that the entrance to the hall was blocked by two demonized envoys.

She clenched the jade pendant tightly, secretly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall. A girl dressed in green rushed in, holding a green sword in her hand.

"Cousin! I'm here with people!" The girl was Yu'er, followed by a dozen elite guards from the Kingdom of Women.

"Yu'er!" Yunluo's eyes lit up, "How did you know..."

"I informed her," a cold voice rang out. A woman in white walked in, holding an ice-blue sword.

The woman in white is named Xue Liuli, and she is the leader of the secret guards of the Kingdom of Women.

Her whereabouts are always elusive, and she was able to arrive in time this time, which obviously shows that she was well prepared.

"Commander Xue!" Zi Yi's expression turned even uglier. "Aren't you patrolling the border?"

"I knew you would take action today." Xue Liuli said coldly, "That's why I rushed back."

With the arrival of reinforcements, the situation suddenly reversed. Xue Liuli's ice-based skills were specifically designed to counter demonic energy, and with a single strike, she froze the two demonized envoys.

Murong Yan's fire whip was like a swimming dragon, forcing several envoys to retreat again and again.

"Damn it!" Zi Yi gritted his teeth, "Looks like I have to use that method."

She suddenly took out a black skull from her arms, with a strange purple light flashing in the skull's eye sockets.

"Not good!" Xue Liuli's face changed, "It's the Demon Summoning Bone! Stop her quickly!"

But Zi Yi had already crushed the skull. A powerful demonic energy surged from the skull fragments, condensing into a huge vortex in the center of the hall.

"Hahaha!" Zi Yi laughed wildly, "When the master arrives, you'll all be finished!"

Yunshuang looked at the ever-expanding vortex, and the system suddenly issued a warning: "Danger!

A strong demonic energy fluctuation has been detected, and it is suspected that a high-level demon is about to descend! "

Low roars came from the vortex, and the ground of the hall began to shake violently.

Yunshuang felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, which was the pressure from the high-level demon beings.

"We can't let it come!" Murong Yan shouted, and the long whip in his hand turned into a fire dragon and rushed straight into the whirlpool.

Xue Liuli also took action, and the ice-blue sword energy swept in like a blizzard, trying to freeze the vortex.

But these attacks were swallowed up the moment they came into contact with the vortex.

"It's useless!" Zi Yi laughed triumphantly, "The Demon Summoning Bone has been activated. No one can stop the master's arrival!"

At this moment, Yunluo suddenly took out a jade token from her arms, on which were engraved ancient runes.

"This is... the Demon Sealing Jade!" Zi Yi's face changed drastically. "How did you get this?"

"I've been prepared to deal with you for a long time." Yunluo raised the jade token high, "Seal!"

The jade plate emitted a dazzling light, and golden runes flew out, forming a huge magic circle that enveloped the vortex.

The vortex's rotation began to slow, but it did not stop completely.

"Just a little bit more!" Yunluo gritted her teeth and persisted, "I need more strength!"

Yun Shuang looked at the jade pendant in her hand, and suddenly an idea struck her. This jade pendant was given to her by Yun Luo for self-defense, and perhaps it had special powers.

She immediately raised the jade pendant and injected spiritual power into it.

The jade pendant emitted a faint light, which complemented the light of the Demon-Sealing Jade.

The vortex vibrated violently, as if resisting this force.

"Not enough! Still not enough!" Cold sweat broke out on Yunluo's forehead.

"Let me do it!" The long whip in Murong Yan's hand suddenly turned into a ball of fire and merged into the magic circle.

Xue Liuli was not to be outdone, and injected ice-blue sword energy into the magic circle, intertwining with the flames.

"No!" Zi Yi screamed, "You can't do this!"

She rushed towards Yunluo with her sword, trying to interrupt the magic circle, but the guards brought by Yu'er stopped her in time.

"Master! Save me!" Zi Yi shouted in despair.

An angry roar came from the vortex, and a huge devil's claw stretched out from it, emitting a terrifying demonic energy.

But in front of the magic circle set up by the four people, the devil's claw could not move an inch.

"Go back!" Yunluo shouted, and the Demon Sealing Jade shone brightly.

The magic circle suddenly contracted, forcibly pushing the demon's claws back. The vortex twisted violently, and finally dissipated with a loud bang.

Zi Yi's face turned pale as death, and he slumped to the ground: "Impossible... This is impossible..."

"It's all over." Yunluo put away the Demon Sealing Jade, "Catch them all."

The guards immediately stepped forward and subdued Zi Yi and the demonized envoys.

Xue Liuli took out a string of ice-blue chains, which was a magical weapon specially used to seal evil spirits.

"Yunluo." Murong Yan walked over. "You already knew their identities?"

"I have some suspicions," Yunluo said, "Over the years, the demons have been secretly infiltrating the Kingdom of Daughters.

I found some clues, but no solid evidence. Until a few days ago..."

She glanced at Yunshuang, who understood. It was the discovery at the underground altar that night that confirmed the true identities of Ziyi and the others.

"What should we do now?" Yu'er asked, "There must be people from their faction still in the city."

"Leave it to me." Xue Liuli said, "I'll send someone to investigate thoroughly."

At this moment, Yunshuang's system suddenly prompted: "Side quest completed: Stop the demon clan's conspiracy.

Reward: Obtain the special item 'Magic Seeking Pearl'."

A crystal clear bead appeared in Yunshuang's hand, emitting a faint light.

This bead can sense the presence of demonic energy and is very helpful in tracking down the remaining demon clan members.

"This is..." Yunluo looked at the beads, thoughtfully.

"Cousin." Yun Shuang handed the bead to her, "This is for you."

Yunluo took the bead and smiled with satisfaction: "With this, we can find those demons hiding in the dark."

"It's time for us to go back." Murong Yan said, "Leave the matters here to Commander Xue."

By the time everyone left the hall, it was already daybreak. The people on the street were completely unaware of what had just happened and continued to live their peaceful lives.

"Oh, right." Yunluo suddenly said, "Come to my place tonight. I have something to tell you."

Yunshuang nodded. She knew that Yunluo was referring to the Chaos Pearl.

This incident made her realize that the situation in the Kingdom of Women was more dangerous than she had imagined.

If the Chaos Orb is not found quickly to lift the curse, the demons will return sooner or later.

Looking at the rising sun in the distance, Yunshuang secretly clenched her fists.

She knew that the real challenge had just begun.
