What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 944

Xu Nanqiao looked back in disbelief and saw Ye Yu, both hands braced on the Ye Huo Fenshiji (World-Burning Flame Halberd), gasping for breath. His cultivation robe had been charred into rags.

The exposed skin all over his body was veined with purple demonic patterns, giving off a strange, oppressive aura.

At this moment, the Ye Huo Fenshiji lay fully subdued in Ye Yu’s grasp, no longer flickering with flames.

As Ye Yu labored to calm his breathing, he studied the great halberd in his hand.

“Truly a supreme ancient demonic artifact,” he murmured. “Not quite on par with a Heavenly Dao Imperial Weapon, but nearly so.”

Its power far exceeded that of high-grade demonic Immortal weapons, and its roaring infernal flames could easily scorch one’s divine soul.

Ye Yu was very satisfied with his prize.

He sheathed the halberd, then approached Xu Nanqiao and said softly, “Thank you.” 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

“Ah? Um, you’re welcome!”

Xu Nanqiao blinked, then realized that his thanks were directed at her for helping secure this high-grade demonic Immortal artifact.

But that also meant their alliance was at an end.

Would Ye Yu really let her go?

Xu Nanqiao bit her lip and dared not move a muscle.

At that moment, a clamor rose in the distance.

Ye Yu and Xu Nanqiao turned to see dozens of demons being pursued by hundreds of Immortals—they were fleeing in this direction.

“Will you help them?” Xu Nanqiao quickly changed the subject, hoping to distract him.

Ye Yu nodded. “I suppose I will. I want to know what happened—how did a full demon army get driven back?”

Forming a hand seal with one hand, Ye Yu instantly seized control of the two strongest leading Immortals. They immediately turned on their comrades, slaughtering them in confusion.

The demons froze in shock, utterly baffled.

Xu Nanqiao was equally stunned. This gesture, and in such a short time—surely it wasn’t Dream Intrusion? Wait, it must be the Divine Demon Mind-Control Art! Ye Yu actually knew that technique?

She instinctively stepped back half a pace, looking at him with wary eyes, afraid he might seize her mind next.

Ye Yu didn’t notice her fear. He waved toward a nearby demon, and soon a Demon Lord Realm cultivator hurried over.

With a bow, the demon declared, “Ministry Official Yang Fan of Juque Prefecture pays respects to Demon Lord Ye!”

Before entering the Heavenly Realm’s passage, nine Demon Lords had stood at its threshold. In the Heaven Realm they had appeared out of thin air, so the demons under their banner naturally recognized them.

Ye Yu asked, “What’s going on? Juque Prefecture is strong—how did you get down to just a few dozen? What happened to the others?”

In Ye Yu’s view, if even Juque Prefecture suffered such losses, Lotus Prefecture must be in worse shape. The fate of the other demons was secondary—what mattered was that Mogei Lian remained alive!

Unexpectedly, the stone crackled with a swift reply.

“Big Brother, I’m fine here! But I see the demons in the other prefectures are withdrawing—they’re heading back because they can’t reach their own Demon Lords!”

At Mogei Lian’s words, Ye Yu cast an embarrassed glance at Xu Nanqiao. About an hour ago she had warned him of the trouble if a Demon Lord died.

And now it was playing out exactly as she said.

Clearly, this chance to ascend to Heaven would end in failure. With everyone retreating, Lotus Prefecture alone could not hold out.

Ye Yu decisively ordered Mogei Lian to lead the demons of Lotus Prefecture back through the passage, all the way to the Demon Realm within half an hour.

“Got it, Big Brother. Oh, I forgot to tell you—I’ve captured an Immortal maiden, she’s very beautiful. You’ll love her!”

Mogei Lian’s voice brimmed with excitement.

Ye Yu only grew more embarrassed.

Xu Nanqiao whispered, “So Demon Lord Ye doesn’t like demonesses, but prefers Immortal maidens! I’m sure you’ll get what you want this time.”

Before Ye Yu could answer, a corpse dropped from the sky. Ye Yu and Xu Nanqiao dodged swiftly; once steady, they looked down—and discovered ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the body was that of Ling Qiansha, Demon Lord of Qintian Prefecture!
