After inquiring around, some knowledgeable people revealed, "The Demon Lord left with his people early this morning."
Gu Xiaosu's attempt to find Xiao Ye thus came to naught.
Her pale face twitched slightly as she coughed. Although she possessed high talent in the Zheng Gu Sect, she was frail.
It was only when she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage that her physical condition might improve.
"The Demon Lord said your body is weak and prepared some light liquid meals for you."
Gu Xiaosu saw the food on the table. Despite being liquid meals, they were complete in variety.
Xiao Ye had put thought into it, truly considering her his wife?
After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Gu Xiaosu toured the Demon Sect.
Those demon cultivators who knew the Demon Lord had married her, their Saintess, widened their eyes upon seeing Gu Xiaosu.
Gu Xiaosu inquired about the location of the dungeon.
She had to rescue her senior and junior disciples quickly.
As Gu Xiaosu approached the dungeon, she suddenly encountered a group of demon cultivators.
This group of demon cultivators approached with ill intentions. Unlike the respectful demeanor of the other servants, they were different.
"The Demon Lord truly brought this Saintess to the Demon Sect? And he allows her to wander freely here?!"
A woman with a sharp voice scrutinized Gu Xiaosu coldly.
Her tone grew heavy, "Our Demon Sect isn't lacking in beautiful women. So many women are waiting to serve the Demon Lord, yet why is it that he set his sights on such a Saintess..."
Gu Xiaosu frowned, seeing the demon cultivators blocking her path.
"Move aside for me."
"Oh, oh, oh, what if we don't?"
The demon cultivators let out a few malicious laughs.
"You really think you're the Madam?"
Gu Xiaosu clenched her fists, her pale face flushing with anger.
The maids beside her trembled, allowing Gu Xiaosu to walk around them.
However, Gu Xiaosu shook her head, looking directly at the group of demon cultivators. "You are my husband's subordinates, aren't you? Xiao Ye married me, and from now on, I will also be in charge of governing you."
"What right do you have? You're just a plaything who was captured."
The female demon cultivator, Lin Ya, was even more excessive, her gaze filled with disdain. Kuaishuge.
Gu Xiaosu felt an urge to fight Lin Ya, but Lin Ya exuded the aura of peak Nascent Soul.
Her spiritual artifacts and storage bags had also all been taken away.
The maid timidly tugged at Gu Xiaosu and whispered, "This Protector Lin must hate you because she's been secretly in love with the Demon Lord for many years. If it weren't for you, she would have been the next Madam of the Demon Sect."
Gu Xiaosu suddenly understood.
No wonder Lin Ya was so hostile.
"Whoever dares to stop me, beware, I will report you to my husband."
Gu Xiaosu displayed a stern demeanor towards this group of demon cultivators.
She could only tread carefully within the Demon Sect, relying on Xiao Ye's influence to move freely.
"You still dare to report to the Demon Lord?"
Lin Ya gritted her teeth. "What immense power you wield."
Xiao Ye was not present in the Demon Sect. She looked at Gu Xiaosu coldly.
Gu Xiaosu, accompanied by a few maids, turned and quickened her pace.
She did not want to waste time with these troublesome demon cultivators.
Lin Ya's expression flickered with suppressed anger. She unleashed her demonic art and struck out instantly.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a scream, Gu Xiaosu stared blankly as a maid beside her coughed up blood.
The maid was killed on the spot.
Gu Xiaosu's pale face tightened. Seeing the ferocious Lin Ya, she knew she was serious.
"I am the Madam. Do you dare to commit insubordination? Beware the Demon Lord punishes you for your offense."
"If it weren't for you, I would be the Demon Lord's woman!"
Hatred welled up in Lin Ya's heart. She used her full strength against Gu Xiaosu.
The surrounding demon cultivators stood with their arms crossed, showing no intention of intervening.
Gu Xiaosu, now without any weapons, faced the aggressive Lin Ya.
She could only do her best to evade...
Lin Ya let out a triumphant laugh. "What esteemed Saintess of the righteous path! In my hands, you're utterly vulnerable! I'll make you flee with your tail between your legs!"
If Gu Xiaosu had a weapon, she wouldn't be so utterly defeated by Lin Ya.
Lin Ya had been cultivating for a hundred years longer than Gu Xiaosu.
Gu Xiaosu saw that no one in the Demon Sect was willing to help.
She channeled her spiritual energy, and it roared through the air.
Layer upon layer of power accumulated, clashing with Lin Ya.
However, Gu Xiaosu's body was weak, and her face turned pale.
Lin Ya revealed a sinister gaze. The spiritual artifact in her hand gleamed with cold light.
She intended to separate Gu Xiaosu's head from her body!
Boom——
Under the might of peak Nascent Soul, Gu Xiaosu felt an suffocating pressure wash over her.
She had no defensive treasures. If she were to be injured by Lin Ya... she would surely be gravely wounded.
At Gu Xiaosu's critical moment, a dark shadow flashed before her eyes.
The shadow instantly appeared in front of Gu Xiaosu, holding her tightly in its embrace.
Lin Ya pressed her advantage, intending to blast Gu Xiaosu to death, but she saw the man blocking her.
Her eyes widened. "Demon Lord?"
Xiao Ye's expression was inscrutable. The chaotic aura emanating from him was enough to instill terror in Lin Ya.
He protected Gu Xiaosu in his arms and examined her closely.
Xiao Ye's voice was dangerously low, "She is my wife. Who dares to harm her?"
"Demon Lord, we deserve to die! We were wrong, please punish us!"
The surrounding demon cultivators, seeing Xiao Ye's icy gaze, were terrified and immediately knelt down.
Lin Ya remained somewhat unwilling and said, "Demon Lord, I don't think this Saintess can be kept. She is not loyal to you at all."
"Since when is it your place to tell me what to do?"
Xiao Ye's tall, slender physique radiated supreme power.
A trace of his aura surged into the bodies of several demon cultivators, causing them to immediately spew blood.
"Demon Lord, spare us!"
Under their terrified gazes, the demon cultivators' bodies suddenly exploded into bloody messes.
Their nascent souls frantically tried to escape, but under Xiao Ye's powerful aura, they were instantly annihilated.
Lin Ya witnessed this scene and finally came to her senses.
She was filled with panic and anxiously said to Xiao Ye, "Demon Lord, my loyalty to you is as clear as the heavens. Please don't be so heartless as to kill me. I lost my senses just now..."
A line of powerful demon cultivators stood beside Xiao Ye. More people, hearing the commotion, arrived to investigate. They approached respectfully, not daring to make a sound.
Gu Xiaosu, enveloped in Xiao Ye's aura, felt a tremor of apprehension.
She could also sense Xiao Ye's power; he was likely not far from the Mahayana stage...
"Wife, you've been startled."
When Xiao Ye looked at Gu Xiaosu, his gaze was incredibly tender.
Gu Xiaosu tilted her head, gazing at Xiao Ye's face. His action of rushing over to protect her indeed made her feel very secure.
Gu Xiaosu opened her mouth and asked slowly, "Xiao Ye, where did you go?"
"I went out and brought back a gift for you."
Gu Xiaosu saw Xiao Ye's earnest expression and did not expect to hear this answer.
Xiao Ye did not let Lin Ya off the hook. He instructed the subordinates by his side to drag her away.
