I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 3

3: The Bone Dragon Carriage

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

Even the well-traveled Xiao Zhengang couldn’t believe what was happening.

He combed through every scrap of information he had on Lu Yuan, but no matter how he twisted it, he couldn’t connect him to the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect.

Lu Yuan was just a wandering cultivator—a nobody.

If not for his Heavenly Demon Emperor’s Eyes, Xiao Zhengang would never have allowed him to marry into the Xiao Family.

Now that those eyes were gone, Lu Yuan was useless.

Killing him would be no different from slaughtering a dog.

Feeding his corpse to the hounds would at least be efficient.

But those thoughts belonged to the past.

Now, everything has changed.

Lu Yuan had produced the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Emperor’s Decree.

Even if Xiao Zhengang wanted to kill him, he had to weigh the consequences.

His face twisted into a mask of dread, his throat so tight it felt like a stone was lodged inside.

No one had expected Lu Yuan to possess a Great Emperor’s token from the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect.

The situation had just become lethal.

One wrong move, and the entire Xiao Family could be erased.

“What a magnificent Xiao Family! You steal my Heavenly Demon Emperor’s Eyes, deny me justice, and now you want to butcher me like a dog?”

“Then let’s see who’s truly untouchable!”

Though his face was pale, Lu Yuan’s aura shifted violently.

A torrent of demonic energy surged from his body, pouring into the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Emperor’s Decree.

CRACK!

The token splintered, each fissure erupting with light that pierced the heavens.

In an instant, the sky darkened, black clouds swirling into a colossal vortex.

Lightning snaked through the maelstrom, and the air itself wailed under the weight of Emperor-level pressure.

A deathly aura seeped from the forming portal, chilling the souls of all who felt it.

“W-Worthless—no! M-My dear son-in-law…!”

Xiao Zhengang’s voice trembled, but before he could finish, a suffocating dread gripped him.

His soul felt like it was being ripped apart.

The sky thrummed with imperial might—the wrath of a Demon Emperor.

Who dared defy it?

“Son-in-law, let me explain!”

Xiao Zhengang forced a breath, his words measured.

“This was all a misunderstanding! Once I investigate, I swear I’ll give you—”

“Relax. I’m not killing you yet.”

Lu Yuan’s laugh was icy.

Though blind, he could feel Xiao Zhengang’s terror.

Letting an enemy stew in fear—

That was how a true Demon Emperor’s heir should act.

BOOM!

A purple thunderbolt split the sky like a monstrous dragon.

The vortex convulsed, and a gigantic portal took shape, its frame carved with screaming skulls.

As it expanded, despair sank into the hearts of every Xiao Family member.

“W-What is this?!”

“This is horrifying! How does the young master have something like this?!”

“Heavens… Did he hide his true identity?”

“Shut up and crawl for your lives!”

The Xiao Family estate was crushed under the oppressive aura.

Servants and guards alike scrambled on their hands and knees, desperate to escape.

A single question burned in their minds:

Was it too late to defect?

Meanwhile, at the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect

A sea of bones stretched for thousands of miles, and demonic energy festered like a living fog.

Since its founding, the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect had recruited only the most ruthless talents, its power unrivaled among its peers.

The Ten Thousand Bones Demon Emperor himself was a legend—a figure so fearsome that his name alone made continents tremble.

Few in this world could stand against him.

But now…

A black miasma blotted out the sky, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

Lightning, black as sin, arced through the storm, and the very air rippled with imperial wrath.

“Disaster! His Highness is in danger!”

“After vanishing for so long, the young master has finally reappeared!”

“Whoever harmed him will die today!”

Almost simultaneously, multiple elders sensed Lu Yuan’s distress.

WHOOSH!

Figures shot into the sky, their auras shattering the clouds.

At the forefront stood a tall, hawk-nosed man in dark green robes, his eyes piercing as daggers.

Around his neck hung a string of shrunken skulls, each no larger than a date, their hollow sockets glowing with cursed fire.

Behind him, other elders stood wreathed in swirling demonic mist, their faces obscured.

Their mere presence warped space.

“You all felt it?”

The hawk-nosed elder’s voice was colder than a grave.

“Elder Mo, the young master may have left the sect, but he’s still one of ours.”

“Exactly. If he shattered the Emperor’s Decree, the situation would be dire. I’d like to see which fool dared provoke him.”

“It seems our long seclusion has made the world forget our existence.”

The elders’ expressions darkened.

Though they had been in closed-door cultivation, their concern for Lu Yuan had never waned.

Even in isolation, they had dispatched agents to search for him.

But until now, all the leads had gone cold.

“His Highness’s energy is faint. We mobilize at once!”

“Whoever humiliated him will be exterminated—down to the last soul!”

“Prepare the Bone Dragon Carriage! We will bring our prince home!”

With that, the elders scattered.

Soon, the entire sect’s forces gathered in the sky, a legion of nightmares awaiting orders.

ROOOOAR!

A bone-chilling shriek tore through the air as a thousand-zhang-long skeletal dragon emerged, its ribcage bristling with spines, its maw gaping with eternal fury.

The Bone Dragon’s roar shook the heavens, its draconic might suffocating the land below.

“Move out! To His Highness!”

Elder Mo flicked his sleeve, and space itself tore open.

A monstrous skeletal hand reached out, prying apart the void to reveal a black portal.

With a creak like grinding bones, the gateway swung wide.

Elder Mo stepped through first.

The rest followed.
