Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

Chapter 54 Goodbye White Bird

At midnight, everything was silent.

The ethereal cat, huddled at the foot of the bed, suddenly brightened up!

"Meow! Demon King, wake up! Something's happened!"

Li Yang was woken up while still asleep. Her head was heavy and dizzy. Just then, the ethereal cat was pawing at the sole of her foot. Li Yang kicked it hard!

"Meow!!"

A sharp, mournful meow echoed through the peaceful night sky. Outside, the shadow of a girl carrying a lantern was cast. Lian'er knocked on the door. "Princess, is that a sound from your room?"

Li Yang didn't answer, and even covered her ears with the pillow under her head.

Damn it, she had just fallen asleep!

After being on edge for so many days in that perilous secret realm, I finally got a good night's sleep.

it is good!

I had just fallen asleep when I was startled awake by the colorful cat!

Yes! From now on, the Stinky Cat will be called the Colorful Cat!

"If it's not the cat in the princess's room, then where is that meowing coming from?" Lian'er murmured, her shadow carrying the lantern growing ever more distant.

"Demon King..."

The ethereal cat was cautious, and before it could even utter a sound, it met a pair of eyes that seemed intent on skinning and tearing it apart.

"Colorful Cat, aren't you afraid I'll have a nervous breakdown? I'd like to hear what's so important to you. If it's not important enough, then it will become very important!"

The ethereal cat took a step back, its tail tucked in, and said weakly, "I just sensed that the white bird's distress call is inside Fengyang City. Shall we go and take a look?"

"A white bird's cry for help?" Li Yang narrowed his eyes. "Why would a white bird come to Fengyang City? And is a white bird so powerful that it needs a mere spirit master like me to rescue it?"

The ethereal cat stamped its foot anxiously, "The demon race doesn't respect strength, but bloodline. You are a spirit master among humans, but your bloodline power among demons is enough to make all demon beasts bow down in submission. Shall we go and take a look?"

Li Yang didn't speak, as if she was considering it.

"My Lord Demon King, if you wish to know the whereabouts of the third tail, the intelligence network under Bai Niao's command might be able to help you. Moreover, there is a rule among the demon race that demons may not kill each other without the Demon King's order, so Bai Niao cannot kill demons!"

“What crazy rules?” Li Yang threw off the covers. “Lead the way.”

The ethereal cat's eyes lit up with joy, and it nimbly led the way to the roof.

The night was deep, and the fog and dew were heavy, but the moon was perfectly round.

A dark figure lay on a distant rooftop, enjoying the moon with a pot of wine.

Hearing the noise, Ji Cang turned around and saw a pink shadow flash away.

Where are you going so late, silly girl?

Ji Cang got up, then quickly lay back down to continue admiring the moon.

What does it matter to him where that silly girl goes? He's only following her to find his own body; why should he care about anything else?

Meanwhile, on East Street, countless small black shadows scurried about on the ground, occasionally leaping up to attack the white figure in the middle.

A woman in a long yellow dress broke through the crowd and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, back to back.

"Commander White Bird, this can't go on! They're not listening to us anymore!"

The white bird swiftly slashed down one of the black shadows that was biting her arm. "I'm not stupid. Of course I know this won't work. If I hadn't come, no one would have known when these gerbils went crazy!"

"Commander White Bird, how about we break through and go back first, then figure out a way to deal with them?" the girl in the yellow dress said anxiously.

"If only the Demon King were here, we wouldn't even be able to fight back without his orders."

Bai Niao coldly rebuked, "Shut up! Concentrate on dealing with the gerbil in front of you. You're not asleep yet, so don't daydream!"

"Hey!"

A gerbil, bigger than her shoulder, jumped up and bit her hand. Bai Niao groaned, her pure white dress stained red with various wounds. She gripped the gerbil tightly and pulled it out. The gerbil's sharp teeth dug into her flesh, and when it was pulled out, a large chunk of flesh was pulled out with it!

The white bird was in so much pain that its whole body went limp, and it almost fell off its feet.

"White Bird!"

This was the scene that Li Yang saw when she arrived. Bai Niao was trembling and struggling to stay upright, but she was about to collapse. Hearing the sound, Bai Niao took a step and lifted her foot. Her spotless white shoes were now rotten to pieces, and there was hardly any good flesh on her foot, with blood dripping down.

The woman in yellow's face lit up with joy, "Demon King!"

The white bird looked up and shouted, "Demon King, please stand further away, or you'll get hurt!"

Li Yang frowned, her pupils turning pink in an instant. Her two long tails fluttered in the wind, and she swung the Peach Moon Fan in her paws forward with a violent aura. The gerbil wrapped around the white bird was instantly cut in half by the sharp blade!

The ethereal cat crouched at Li Yang's feet, "Demon King, quickly give the order for the white bird to kill these sand rats!"

"Flying Tiger, come out!" Li Yang's eyes darkened. "White Bird, Flying Tiger, kill them!"

"Yes!"

"okay!"

The white bird was finally able to unleash its full power. Its hands and feet transformed into claws, and each slap on the ground could crush a large number of gerbils to death. Moreover, with Li Yang's demon king bloodline protecting the area, the gerbils were almost powerless to resist.

Li Yang picked up the ethereal cat and looked at the corpses piled up almost like a mountain. Black blood flowed to her feet. When Li Yang lifted her foot, the blood stuck to her foot and even stretched into threads. Li Yang immediately felt that her feet were sticky and disgusting.

"Colorful Cat, how come there are so many gerbils in Fengyang City?"

The ethereal cat tucked its tail in and said, “My Lord Demon King, the sand rats are scattered throughout the four kingdoms. They are our demon race’s communication and intelligence gathering tools. Since you have not yet returned, the sand rat clan is currently under the temporary management of the White Bird. Today should be the day to report intelligence. The White Bird came to meet with the sand rats and was besieged.”

“Encirclement and suppression…” Looking at the battle situation around him that was about to return to calm, Li Yang had a bad feeling.

These gerbils don't look like they're being hunted down; they look like they've caught a plague, or rather, they look like they've been controlled by someone and gone mad.

So the people who control the gerbils know about the demon race, and they know that the information about the white bird was gathered tonight. Those people want to kill the white bird!

Li Yang suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and turned around abruptly, only to have a dark figure vanish in an instant.

After killing the last gerbil, the white bird sent the woman in the yellow dress back first, while she and the flying tiger came to Li Yang's side.

A strong stench of blood filled the air, and by the moonlight, Li Yang looked around and found the surroundings becoming increasingly familiar.

A dilapidated temple stood not far ahead.

This is the place where Li Yang first encountered the evil race!

Just thinking about what that evil person looked like back then made Li Yang feel a chill creep up from the soles of her feet.

She scooped up the ethereal cat and said to the flying tiger and the white bird, "Let's go!"

Although the two were somewhat bewildered, they still followed.

Returning to the demon realm from the dilapidated temple, Li Yang felt an aura she disliked as soon as she stepped into the temple.

"Demon King! The Demon God Statue!"

Li Yang looked up and saw that the statue, which was originally shaped like a lucky cat, had been destroyed. Its face was covered in black bloodstains, and its lucky paw had been cut off.

The white bird and the flying tiger were shocked and rushed forward to investigate, asking, "What happened!"

Li Yang's face was tense when she suddenly saw a flash of black mist on the statue. "Come back quickly! We need to get out of here!"
