I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 805

Chapter 805: Chapter 301: The Empress Was Burgled? (×) The Empress Did the Burgling! (√)

Suddenly, wails echoed without end.

In the chaos, no one noticed, a shadow slipped away from the wall, leaving the prison behind.

It was the day of the Great Sacrifice, and turmoil erupted in the Capital City. The Sky Scale Guard activated emergency measures, and government officers rushed to the Imperial Palace to protect it.

At this moment, the drill ground was deserted, and Chu Heng’s figure appeared.

He didn’t leave immediately but turned his steps toward the Fire Department Court.

Inside the Government Office, he glanced around and saw the black cat trapped in a cage, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Is this what you’re looking for?"

"It’s just an ordinary little cat, doesn’t seem special..."

"Alright, I understand."

Chu Heng murmured to himself and stepped forward to open the cage door.

The black cat sensed the commotion, slowly opened its eyes, and upon seeing Chu Heng, it appeared slightly dazed, with a trace of bewilderment and confusion.

"Meow?"

"Come with me."

Chu Heng gestured with his hand.

The cat, as if unable to control its body, stood up and followed.

Exiting the Sky Scale Guard’s gates, chaos reigned outside. People scattered in all directions, and the air was thick with the scent of gunpowder.

"It seems this Intense Burning Powder is more potent than I thought."

Chu Heng’s gaze cooled as he walked into a nearby alleyway.

In the depths of the alley stood a black sedan chair, and an old man stood beside it, hands at his sides. This was none other than Duan Zhongmou, the mansion steward supposedly "slain" earlier by Chu Yanli.

Seeing Chu Heng, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Young Master, you have suffered..."

"Those words are unnecessary. How is the task proceeding?" Chu Heng asked in a deep voice.

Duan Zhongmou replied, "Chu Yanli, the Crown Prince, and others are trapped in the temple. It will take some time for them to return. Lian Jianfeng has already gone to the Imperial Music Bureau to arrest Yu’er and Liu Miaozhi."

Chu Heng further inquired, "What about the Demon Suppression Department?"

Duan Zhongmou stated, "A section of the grand array has been destroyed, temporarily disabling the demon energy detection function. Yuan Junfeng is personally leading the repairs, but Ling Yishan remains inactive."

Chu Heng shook his head and said, "It’s fine. That person has already prepared for this, the old man can’t cause much trouble."

Hearing this, Duan Zhongmou’s expression became solemn.

Since that presence had spoken thus, it must be a sure thing.

"Wu Lie might have realized something is amiss. It’s unwise to stay in the Capital City longer. Let’s leave first, and deal with other matters later."

Chu Heng stepped into the sedan chair, and the cat leaped up after him.

"Yes," Duan Zhongmou acknowledged.

The black sedan rose into the air, swiftly disappearing at the end of the alley.

...

East Suburb, Demon Suppression Department.

A hulking figure, cloaked in a hood, walked slowly into the courtyard.

The stationed Tributor, seeing this person, frowned and said, "Halt, who are you?"

The hulking man said nothing, the shadow beneath his hood glimmered with the character "Ding," and he reached to open his coat.

At the sight, the Tributor froze on the spot.

Beneath the robe wasn’t flesh but countless black beetles!

Scarlet lights flickered, revealing numerous single-eyed crimson eyes, enough to make one’s scalp crawl!

"Demon—"

The Tributor’s face turned to horror, just as he was about to call out.

With a piercing buzz, the beetles took flight, sweeping toward him like a black storm!

Wherever they passed, the blue bricks corroded, flowers and plants withered!

As the swarm was about to engulf the Tributor, an elderly voice echoed:

"So it’s finally come."

Whoosh—

Wind rose abruptly.

A hunched figure appeared out of nowhere, standing in front of the Tributor.

Reaching out a hand, he gently tapped the void, sending out an invisible ripple, pausing the airborne insects as if time had stopped.

"Only you alone?" Ling Yishan slightly raised an eyebrow, dissatisfied, "Isn’t that underestimating us?"

"Just me is enough."

The hooded man’s voice was bizarre, as if many vocal cords merged into one, "An Ultimate Venerable at death’s door, is it still venerable?"

The scarlet eyes blazed, shooting rays of red light, weaving into a giant eye in the sky, overlooking Ling Yishan, its gaze both cold and compassionate, as if it could see through all things in the world.

Ling Yishan’s expression grew a bit grave.

Besides facing Yu Youhan and Ji Hongxiu, this was the third time he’d felt such immense pressure!

"Hand over the Array Map, live; resist, die." The hooded man stated in a deep voice.

"Tsk, quite the boastful tone, you want to kill this old man?"
