I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 978

Looking at the two women in front of him, the man in black felt a chill run down his spine.

These two showed no signs of leaking energy, which only made them seem extremely dangerous!

The Nine-headed Mountain base had multiple arrays set up; if an outsider broke in, it would trigger the alarm immediately. But these two had slipped in silently, so close that no one noticed...

"The situation is dire!"

The man in black's mind raced.

Fighting them head-on without knowing their background was clearly unwise.

Anyway, the mission in Fengmu County had failed, and there was no need to defend this spot to death—survival came first!

With this in mind, he steadied his energy in his dantian and shouted angrily: "Enemy attack! All disciples, follow me quickly to kill the enemies!"

His loud voice echoed in the cave.

"What?"

"Enemy attack?!"

The disciples, who were busy refining Gu, were jolted alert. They then realized outsiders had broken in, and their faces changed drastically as they pulled out their weapons and rushed forward.

The man in black, however, retreated, darting toward the exit, intending to make a run for it!

"As long as I can stall them for a while..."

"They're just lower-ranking laborers, expendable. The elder can always transform a new batch if need be..."

To the Gu God Sect, these so-called "disciples" were the least valuable.

With specific Gu poison worms implanted, even ordinary people could possess strength matching that of Mortal Cultivators, making new disciples worship the Sect Hierarch as a deity, unaware that they were just firewood to keep the Sect running.

Even if they didn't die here, they would eventually be used as nutrients for the Gu poison worms after their value was exhausted, nourishing those of higher status.

Once you joined the Gu God Sect, there was no way out except to climb desperately upward.

"Just five more feet..."

The man in black flickered through the air, on the verge of leaving the cave.

The next moment, his body suddenly felt light—

To be precise, he could no longer feel his body.

Puzzled, he looked back to see a headless figure standing there, looking eerily familiar... as if it were him?!

Thud—

His head fell to the ground, rolling far away from sheer inertia.

Yet his consciousness didn't fade and he could still clearly see the scene around him.

"Kill!"

The disciples screamed as they charged at the two women.

"Noisy."

Yu Youhan flicked her finger lightly, and a streak of cyan light shot out, weaving through the crowd like a thread.

A disciple who had just arrived was swept by the light, froze in action, then toppled like a set of building blocks, cut into dozens of pieces, the edges smooth and clean without a single drop of blood spilled.
