Chapter 623: Chapter 623 I Was Beaten Chapter 623: Chapter 623 I Was Beaten The Beihai Demon Clan's diplomatic delegation had finally arrived.
But not all of them had made it.
The head envoy, along with four deputy envoys, had arrived first at the Demon Emperor Court to pay their respects to the Demon Emperor.
The elite disciples of the Beihai Demon Clan were still on their way.
They would reach the Demon Emperor City by tomorrow.
Thus, the official visit for the ten-year promise would commence.
The head envoy was an elegant middle-aged man.
He wore a jade crown and a blue robe, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist.
His facial features were gentle and calm, with eyes full of wisdom.
If it weren't for the gill-like patterns on his cheeks.
It would be hard to believe that this was a member of the Beihai Demon Clan.
He was indeed Yu Qingxuan, the strongest under the North Sea Demon Emperor, at the Ninth Layer Perfection of Core Formation.
“Sky Demon Emperor, your city seems quite unsafe.”
“In the time of three games of chess, over sixty people have been captured.”
“Yet, none of the four 'culprits' have been caught.”
Yu Qingxuan had a relaxed smile on his face.
Before the visit, the North Sea Demon Emperor had instructed him.
To halt the exchange between elite disciples of both sides.
Since the fall of the Tiger Demon Emperor, the overall strength of the Mainland Demon Clan had declined each year.
Especially after the new demon emperor took the throne, the strength of various divisions had declined even more noticeably.
Sending the Beihai Demon Clan's elites for further training would undoubtedly waste their time.
But.
Ten years ago, the elites of the Beihai Demon Clan had overwhelmingly crushed their peers from the Mainland Demon Clan.
Their crude and simple methods had left the Mainland Demon Clan utterly humiliated.
Since then, the Mainland Demon Clan harbored resentment, with a hint of hatred.
Therefore, the North Sea Demon Emperor instructed him.
To refuse this time in a gentler manner.
To avoid escalating the two clans' hatred.
Thus, Yu Qingxuan visited early.
To ensure the safety of the Beihai Demon Clan's elite disciples in the Demon Emperor City in the future.
He proposed letting his four deputy envoys pretend to be culprits, capturing residents in the city.
To test if the Demon Emperor City was safe and reliable.
Sky Demon Emperor naturally was unwilling.
But if he refused, wouldn't that imply even he, as the Demon Emperor, didn't trust the safety of the Demon Emperor City?
So, he had no choice but to agree.
In his view.
His demon kings, war generals, and war kings were all trustworthy top experts.
Handling four deputy envoys shouldn't be difficult.
But the outcome exceeded expectations.
The four deputy envoys were extremely proficient in various escape techniques.
Two hours passed.
The four deputy envoys were still moving as if no one else existed in the city.
He picked up a piece and calmly placed it on the chessboard.
“No rush.”
“My subordinates have been preparing for a great battle with the Human Clan lately.”
“When they react, there will be results.”
Yu Qingxuan looked at the position where the demon emperor placed his piece.
He smiled and said, “Demon Emperor, this move doesn't seem very good.”
It was obvious the demon emperor was distracted.
At this moment.
Another deputy envoy returned.
Holding a dozen captives in their hand.
Including the previous ones, there were now over seventy captives.
The demon emperor's brows couldn't help but knit together.
A bunch of useless people!
So many strong individuals in the royal city and they couldn't stop four deputy envoys?
A shadow flashed by.
Another deputy envoy returned.
The demon emperor completely lost interest in the chess game and stood up looking at the returning deputy envoy.
If they continued capturing, the Demon Emperor City would be entirely unsafe.
However.
When he saw the returning female deputy envoy, his face showed a strange expression.
Yu Qingxuan was in a good mood.
Once they captured enough residents and the four deputy envoys remained unharmed.
If he said the Demon Emperor City was unsafe.
The demon emperor couldn't refute a word.
And since this place couldn't guarantee the safety of the demon clan, the so-called deep exchange would naturally be out of the question.
He had already started planning the next day's agenda in his mind.
A formal visit to the Mainland Demon Clan in the morning.
Returning after lunch.
This mission would have perfectly met the North Sea Demon Emperor's expectations.
Plop–
Unexpectedly.
The returning deputy envoy knelt before him.
Hmm?
Yu Qingxuan was taken aback and came back to his senses.
He turned his head in astonishment.
Noticing that the one kneeling on the ground was Mu Ziyu, he exclaimed, “What are you doing?”
Mu Ziyu didn't speak.
She just kept wiping her tears.
At this moment, Yu Qingxuan noticed her unusual state.
He couldn't help but exclaim, “What happened to you?”
Mu Ziyu's appearance at this point couldn't be merely described as disheveled.
Her once pretty face was swelling on one side and bruised on the other.
Her mouth and chin were covered with dried blood scabs.
Her hair was disheveled, and she looked filthy.
Several parts of her body showed obvious bone deformities, clearly broken bones.
What left Yu Qingxuan most dumbfounded was.
Mu Ziyu's front… was bare.
No.
What had she gone through?
Was she severely violated by some vicious demon?
“Wuwu~”
As Yu Qingxuan questioned her, Mu Ziyu's pent-up grievances finally erupted.
She wailed and cried out loud.
“Master Yu, I've let you down, let down the Beihai Demon Clan, please punish me.”
Yu Qingxuan's mouth twitched hard.
Let me down?
We're clearly innocent; don't drag me into this.
“What exactly happened? Speak clearly!”
Yu Qingxuan helped her up and asked gently.
Maintaining his elegant demeanor throughout.
Mu Ziyu wiped her tears and confessed with shame: “Master Yu.”
“I… I was beaten by a strong demon.”
Despite having an answer in his heart.
Yu Qingxuan couldn't hide his disappointment.
So, the Demon Emperor City does have a certain level of safety.
Using this as an excuse to interrupt the exchange and learning of the younger generation of both clans wouldn't be easy!
The Demon Emperor's previously heavy heart suddenly felt lightened.
He couldn't help but relax his brows.
Finally, his people took action and turned the tide!
He made a mental note to heavily reward them later!
Suppressing his smile, he feigned a solemn tone: “Deputy Envoy Mu.”
“Who was the one who beat you to this extent.”
“Their actions were too reckless!”
“I will call them over right now to stand up for you.”
Yu Qingxuan glanced at the extremely disheveled Mu Ziyu and then at her bare front.
Holding back a thread of anger in his eyes.
He said, “There's no need for that, a bet is a bet, and the Beihai Demon Clan can handle defeat.”
“Just hope the Demon Emperor will properly restrain his subordinates.”
“Beating her is one thing; performing such disgraceful acts is another.”
“Anyone unaware might think the Mainland Demon Clan is still living in ancient barbaric times, unrefined.”
The demon emperor's face turned pale.
As he noticed Mu Ziyu's exposure at that moment.
Who was the lecherous scoundrel?!
A deputy envoy of the Beihai Demon Clan being forcefully violated in the Mainland Demon Clan's territory.
If word got out, what would become of the Mainland Demon Clan's reputation?
“No, no! He didn't!”
As soon as Mu Ziyu heard their misunderstanding, she quickly clarified:
“I was just searched while unconscious.”
“He didn't violate me.”
Hmm?
Yu Qingxuan pondered, “You were unconscious, so how do you know he didn't violate you?”
To defeat Mu Ziyu, beating her to such a state.
Could only be done by one of the five demon kings or the ten demon generals.
They had undressed her upper body, so how come they didn't go further?
Mu Ziyu lowered her head and said, “The one who injured me was a young boy.”
“His female companions were also beauties as stunning as flowers.”
“How could he possibly take an interest in me?”
Though she was somewhat good-looking, she couldn't compare to the girl beside him.
Moreover, she was much older than him.
Only if he was blind would he bother with her body.
She at least had this self-awareness.
Yu Qingxuan let out a sigh of relief: “That's good.”
“That's good…”
“Wait!”
Yu Qingxuan examined Mu Ziyu's injuries closely.
Surprise flashed across his refined face:
“You said the one who injured you was a boy?”
