Chapter 1676: Chapter 736: Dance of Chaotic Demons

Seeing General Wujian agree so readily, Luo Qianche breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the musicians, two were exactly Di Shen and Bo Qing in disguise.

Back then, when Di Shen proposed disguising as guards to escort the mermaids into the Tongtian Tribe, Luo Qianche was somewhat worried, fearing they would be exposed.

Just then, the elder of the Merfolk Clan suggested disguising Di Shen and others as musicians.

Luo Qianche casually asked, not expecting Di Shen to really agree.

Not only did Di Shen agree, but Bo Qing and Qin Xiaochuan also volunteered.

Di Shen and Bo Qing, needless to say, were to protect Ye Lingyue, while Qin Xiaochuan was for Guangzi.

The three of them followed the Merfolk Clan’s musicians and practiced for three days.

Ye Lingyue was initially worried they would expose themselves by preparing at the last minute.

Unexpectedly, Di Shen and Bo Qing learned quickly; one learned the zither, the other learned the flute, and both seemed quite proficient.

It turned out that one was previously Prince Feng, familiar with courtly music since childhood, while the other had once disguised as a woman, thus was skilled with musical instruments.

Only Qin Xiaochuan, who had grown up in the Lonely Moon Sea and was musically ignorant, played every instrument like mind-numbing Demon Sound, be it the zither, flute, pipe, or xiao. Helplessly, Di Shen had him play the zither with him, letting him pose for show.

Fortunately, General Wujian was so dazzled by the beauties that he didn’t test the trio’s skills. Coupled with a Merfolk Clan musician, a small musical group formed.

General Wujian immediately released three hundred mermaids, and Luo Qianche and Ye Lingyue exchanged a knowing glance, understanding each other.

Luo Qianche led the three hundred mermaids away.

Rescuing three hundred mermaids was only the first step; there were still seven hundred more to save.

"Sir, among our group, some of our sisters were taken to the Tongtian Tribe earlier, and we want to see them."

Guangzi stepped forward and gracefully bowed, speaking while raising his eyes.

A fleeting, strange light flashed in the foxlike eyes, as he used the inherited Shennong’s eyes.

General Wujian couldn’t resist such a request, feeling half-melted inside as he met Guangzi’s gaze.

"Since a beauty requests it, I’ll let you see them. However, don’t try anything funny."

General Wujian, unaware he was already tricked by Guangzi, waved his hand, ordering the arrangement of ten Mermaid beauties to stay with the previously captured ones.

Ye Lingyue and Guangzi pretended to comply, and the four were arranged into a tent together.

Upon entering the tent, they heard a burst of crying.

In the tent, which could house forty to fifty people, over thirty mermaids were held captive.

They wept softly, while Ye Lingyue glanced outside, noticing several Demon Tribe warriors guarding the entrance.

Ye Liuyun and Tang Lingbo stood at the door.

Seeing the newcomers dressed as mermaids with striking appearances enter, the mermaids felt surprised.

One spoke hesitantly.

"Are you sisters from Blue Sea too? Why haven’t we seen you before?"

"Are you Blue Sea Merfolk Clan’s mermaids? We’re here to rescue you, so keep quiet first. Choose a representative to tell us what has happened in recent days. Besides you, where are the other sisters?"

At Ye Lingyue’s words, the mermaids immediately stopped crying.

They chose a representative.

The person came forward and told Ye Lingyue about the remaining seven hundred mermaids. About three hundred were arranged to attend the Demon King’s birthday banquet, accompanying various Demon Clan leaders and distinguished guests from the Demon World invited by the Demon King Tongtian.

The remaining three to four hundred were intended by General Wujian to be rewarded to his men after the banquet.

The mermaids staying with Ye Lingyue were picked for the banquet due to their beauty.

Thinking about their impending fate being tormented by the Demon Clan, they cried daily, longing for their distant families.

Today, they heard the Merfolk Clan came to rescue them, overjoyed, only to find that three hundred less attractive mermaids were taken. They thought the clan abandoned them, feeling uncontrollable sorrow, crying together.

"As for the remaining two hundred mermaids serving the banquet, do you have any way to reach them? If you want to escape safely, you must ignite this incense during the banquet," Ye Lingyue said, taking out some incense.

This incense was the Leak Essence Fragrance Ye Lingyue used before.

On martial artists, this fragrance gradually weakens their Primordial Power; on Demon Tribe, it disperses their demonic power.

The mermaids were initially hesitant but realized this was their only chance to return to the tribe, so they accepted the Leak Essence Fragrance.

"Everything is set except for the timing; now only the banquet day remains for action. I wonder about the other two representative teams’ situation?" Ye Lingyue thought quietly.

Right as Ye Lingyue successfully infiltrated the Tongtian Tribe as a mermaid, the Jin Family’s representative team and Tang Family’s Representative Team set camp fifty miles away from the Tongtian Tribe.

Both teams seemed silent, their plans unknown.

Within the Tongtian Tribe, the Demon King Tongtian’s birthday drew near.

Since the mysterious disappearance of the Golden Horn Demon King, the Demon King Tongtian became the sole Demon King in the Central Plains.

The tribe was bustling with demons from all over, including many small clan leaders originally under the Golden Horn Tribe, who also came to pay respects, making the Demon King Tongtian immensely proud.

But for Young Clan Leader Shui Yaoyao, these days were her most torturous in centuries.

Since the day Queen Xiyuan appeared and warned her.

Shui Yaoyao hesitated, unsure whether to heed Xiyuan’s advice and act against Chi Ye.

She was infatuated with Chi Ye, unwilling to harm him, but loathed his coldness, preferring a maid over accepting her.

If the banquet ended and Chi Ye returned to Beiyu Palace, she would lose her chance.

While Shui Yaoyao hesitated, the night before the banquet, Demon King Tongtian Shui Yi summoned his daughter Shui Yaoyao.

"Yaoyao, the Senluo Ghost Fruit King matures at midnight tomorrow. During the birthday banquet, Father will join several Demon Generals to capture Chi Ye. This matter is crucial; if successful, Father will be Demon Emperor, and you the Imperial Elder Daughter of New North Prison. If we fail, you and I both risk death. To preserve the Tongtian Tribe’s lineage, Father decides to send you away tonight and retrieve you after the situation calms."

Demon King Tongtian said, taking out the box containing the Senluo Ghost Fruit King.
