When Ye Zhen planned to annihilate Congyun's forces and let him escape, the Demon Clan's elite warriors, under the command of two inspectors, madly charged to rescue Congyun. Ye Zhen was forced to shift command and engage the inspectors, quickly killing one with a surprise attack. The remaining inspector rallied the troops to protect Congyun.

The elite of the Demon Clan and a group of commanders charged toward the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, recklessly, completely ignoring the exposure of their backs to the North Sea Heavenly Wave Army behind them.

In response, the North Sea Heavenly Wave Army showed no mercy.

The Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow began firing without restraint, a powerful crossbow bolt shooting out, piercing through several Demon Clan Martial Artists below the Realm King Realm like they were strung together.

Of course, it’s not a one-hit kill.

Just severely injured.

But that’s already enough.

The Demon Spirit Soldiers led by Zheng Dangshi pounced like butchers, easily severing the heads of those severely injured elite Demon Clan members.

As for those only lightly injured, under siege from everyone, it’s just a bit more effort to kill them.

This is still considered lucky; the unlucky ones were torn apart and chewed to pieces on the spot by Water Demons led by the Great Saint of Jinghai—gruesome beyond words!

Of course, most of the elite Demon Clan members’ Innate Divine Souls and even Primordial Spirits managed to escape, as most of the North Sea Heavenly Wave Army couldn’t kill Innate Divine Souls.

However, awaiting these freshly escaped Innate Divine Souls and Primordial Spirits was the War Soul Blood Flag flying atop the Mystical Mechanism Avatar.

As the Blood Flag unfurled, the agonized cries of the elite Demon Clan’s Innate Divine Souls were swallowed by the War Soul Blood Flag; the blood light consumed during previous secret techniques was restored in the shortest time, and the blood glow began to grow again.

Instantly, these elite Demon Clan members died in battle even faster than before.

All these events unfolded within mere breaths.

Such rapid change—from the Inspector sent by the Sect of the Demon Emperor joining the battle to his fall, to all the elite Demon Clan members recklessly leaving the battlefield, charging toward himself at the center of the battle—all happened so quickly.

So fast that the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, did not realize what was happening.

It was only when another inspector mentioned that if he perished, everyone would accompany him in burial, did the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, comprehend, recalling the rule in the Demon Clan military laws.

Only then did he understand why his soldiers were not obeying orders, why they were going crazy one by one.

"Everyone, fall back!"

"Form the formation!"

"Form a defensive formation!"

The Seventh Prince Congyun shouted a few times, but no one listened to a word of his command; instead, they looked even more excited, more frenzied in their intent to save him.

This left the Seventh Prince Congyun fuming, yelling at the group of elite Demon Clan members.

"You bastards, fall back and form the formation! I don’t need your protection!"

"Get out!"

"Everyone, back to the formation and defend yourselves!"

"I’m fine!"

"I don’t need your protection!"

The Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, was genuinely agitated.

But Congyun’s scolding was ineffective; no one believed him, and it only made the elite Demon Clan members who came to rescue him even more excited.

A Bull Demon became tearful due to Congyun’s roaring, "His Highness cares so much for us; this life of ours given to His Highness is worth it!"

"Brothers, charge forward, protect His Highness!"

"His Highness, following you in this life is worthwhile!"

"His Highness, be sure to avenge us!"

A Winged Demon suddenly flashed, blocking the dozen attacks from Sha Clan Realm King Realm experts aimed at the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, spewing blood while yelling, "His Highness, in the next life, we’ll follow you again!"

"His Highness, in the next life, we’ll still be your soldiers!"

One by one, the elite Demon Clan members roared, rushing forward to protect the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

The North Sea Heavenly Wave Army and the group of Sha Clan Realm King Realm experts, along with the Water Army led by Jinghai, Fug Hai, and Sea-Breaking, were perplexed.

Are these Demon Clan members just courting death?

They didn’t need to do anything else, just aim long-range attacks at the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, and these elite Demon Clan members would disregard their lives to shield him from those attacks.

They could have dodged those attacks instead of taking them head-on.

But now, they’re all bracing themselves.

Under the strain, they were either killed or severely injured, suffering heavy casualties, rendering this siege absurdly easy.

Being protected in succession by everyone, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, was frustrated.

Frustrated but moved.

So frustrated he could vomit blood, so moved he could do the same!

Frustrated at the elite Demon Clan members for being too damn foolish.

This was a death sentence.

His current situation was dangerous.

Locked on by a dozen Dao Realm and a thousand Realm King Realm experts, but his life was not in real danger; he didn’t need their protection.

Moved because, for the first time, he discovered how endearing his soldiers were.

Each willing to die generously without hesitation for him!

Of course, previously these elite demons could also give their lives for him, but more so due to identity and military law.

But now, it’s entirely from the heart.

Within the Demon Clan, these loyalty-driven attendants are extremely cherished as household retainers by every noble.

In that instant, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, felt deep heartache.

He didn’t want these potential retainers to die like this.

Looking at the scene before him, Ye Zhen’s gaze became somewhat peculiar and complex.

Even in his dreams, he never thought such a situation would occur.

Previously, Ye Zhen was prepared to pay any cost to annihilate the elite forces under the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

But now it seems unnecessary.

These demon clan elites appeared ’adorably foolish!’ to Ye Zhen at that moment.

With a surrounding thought, the cunning of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, immediately found a solution.

As long as he leaves here, escaping the central encirclement, these elite demon clansmen would understand that his danger has been resolved, and they won’t sacrifice themselves meaninglessly.

In the next instant, black light flickered fiercely in the single eye of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, causing the spatial wall to tremble, as he tried to break open the void to escape directly.

Ye Zhen, who had been watching the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, detected the aberrant vibration of the void with a slight tremor of the Void-Slaughtering Radiance in his Xuan Palace.

Without a second thought, Ye Zhen understood the intentions of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun.

The Seventh Prince Congyun wanted to escape!

At this moment, Ye Zhen’s thoughts changed once again.

The Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun must not be killed, even as a prisoner, absolutely cannot be killed.

At the very least, he must not die at the hands of Ye Zhen and the Heavenly Wave Army of North Sea.

Ye Zhen did not want to return to his fiefdom in North Sea years later, alone and without face to meet the elders of North Sea.

However, the battle situation had unexpectedly turned out like this.

This allowed Ye Zhen’s troops to annihilate the elite demon army without expending much effort, and Ye Zhen did not want the escape of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun to alter the favorable situation.

In other words, in the end, Ye Zhen may let the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun live, but will definitely not allow him to disrupt this advantageous situation.

Moreover, the armies on both sides were currently in a frenzied state.

The elite demons were desperately protecting the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, while Ye Zhen’s elites were relentlessly slaughtering these demons.

If the escape of the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun altered the situation, those demons initially protecting him would madly counterattack, inflicting significant casualties on Ye Zhen’s army.

This outcome is something Ye Zhen absolutely cannot allow to happen.

Therefore, when Ye Zhen in his Xuan Palace sensed that trace of void fluctuation the moment it happened, almost instinctively, his thought moved as he activated the Thunder Light Whip above his head—its brilliance flashed and a Nine Heavens Divine Thunder roared out like lightning.

Precisely hitting the void fluctuation point.

At this moment, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun had just entered the torn spatial passage.

But just as he entered, the spatial passage was shattered by Ye Zhen’s timely Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

The disruption of the spatial passage triggered chaotic space currents, violently crashing against the Seventh Crown Prince, throwing him into disarray, and he struggled immensely to break free.

Just as he broke free, silver ripples spread from beneath Ye Zhen’s feet, rendering all demon clan Dao realm beings extremely heavy.

Especially the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, felt like a mountain was weighing down his body, bringing him to an extreme heaviness.

This scene was seen by the demon clan Dao realm beings and elites, and they became increasingly anxious.

The Crown Prince’s desperate escape had failed.

The Crown Prince’s current situation was extremely dangerous!

In a flash, everyone was even more recklessly determined to provide the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, a chance to escape to safety.

To this, the Seventh Crown Prince of the Demon Emperor, Congyun, was utterly distressed.

Facing Ye Zhen, alongside the Yidongqing Divine Tree Guardian Corps’ Divine Guard Team’s Dao realm beings, Mystical Mechanism Avatar, a group of Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals, coordinating with the Little Demon, Big Ears Nie Ting, and the three Great Saints Jinghai, Fug Hai, Sea-Breaking, quickly slaughtered one demon clan Dao realm being after another.

Especially with the cooperation of Little Demon and Big Ears Nie Ting, along with the ancient bloodline holders Zhang Yibei and Qinglian, each moment almost saw a Dao realm being fall.

The speed left the hearts of the demon clan elites in utter turmoil.

The connecting officer of the demon clan elites, witnessing this, madly chanted, "Your Highness, you can’t die!

You must hold on, reinforcements will surely come!"

While chanting, he continuously sent rescue bone talismans to Yii Si’s siege corps through the activated small communication transfer formation.

Below the Blood River Fortress, Yii Si who received three rescue bone talismans in just a few breaths was stunned.

With the arrival of the fourth and fifth urgent rescue talismans, Yii Si was utterly frantic and made his way swiftly to report the situation to the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong.

"Rescue bone talismans from the Inspector?" The Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong, slowly lifting the curtain, turned extremely grim upon hearing the words.

Taking the bone talismans for a look, he closed his eyes slightly to sense, and his long eyebrows trembled lightly, "This is bad!"

With a low curse, the Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong immediately vanished without a trace!
