I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 38

38: Lu Yuan: I’ll Kill the Xiao Family—I Dare You Stop Me?

The Ultimatum

“Xiao Yun’er, listen well!”

“Show yourself now, and you might see your family one last time.”

“If you refuse… their bl00d will be on your hands!”

Lu Yuan’s voice boomed across the Cloud Sword Holy Land—

Echoing through every corridor, every hidden chamber.

Disbelief rippled through the disciples.

This was psychological warfare at its cruelest.

“Bastard! How dare Lu Yuan act so brazenly? Does he think our holy land is defenseless?”

“He’s just a junior! How can his methods be so ruthless?”

“He’s jealous of our Holy Son! This is slander—a calculated smear!”

Inside the grand hall, the elders seethed.

Even Xiao Yun’er had been permitted to attend this emergency council.

Yet every face was dark with fury.

“Enough talk. Words won’t change anything.”

Yun Conglong’s gaze settled on Tang Yun and Xiao Yun’er.

“Rest assured—neither the Cloud Sword Holy Land nor the Righteous Alliance will abandon you.”

“We face this together. Whatever happens, you have our backing.”

With that, he became a beam of sacred light and headed towards the sect gates.

The others followed.

The Bl00d Price

“Finally decided to show up?”

Lu Yuan’s lips curled as he pointed at a shackled youth below.

“Xiao Yun’er, recognize him? Your cousin—one of your last living kin.”

“Kneel and beg, and I might spare him.”

He knew she wouldn’t.

The executioner’s blade hovered—

A single command away from falling.

“Lu Yuan! You—you monster!”

Xiao Yun’er’s voice trembled with rage.

“How dare you commit such atrocities!”

“Release them! Crawl back to your demonic sect!”

“Or the Righteous Alliance will make you pay!”

Lu Yuan threw back his head and laughed.

“Hypocrites! You stole my Heavenly Demon Emperor Eyes!”

“Conspired with Tang Yun on our wedding night!”

“This is your ‘righteousness’? This is the Cloud Sword Holy Land’s honor?”

“Since you value your family so little… Neither do I.”

Snatching the executioner’s blade, he swung.

A head rolled.

Bl00d fountained.

Silence gripped the battlefield.

Even the spectators shuddered.

Lu Yuan had actually done it.

With one stroke, he’d painted the Cloud Sword Holy Land into a corner.

No matter their next move—

Their shame was indelible.

“Lu Yuan’s ruthlessness… terrifying.”

“Xiao Yun’er sacrificed her whole clan for Tang Yun? Madness.”

“If she’d just stayed with Lu Yuan…”

The crowd marveled at her indifference.

Not a flicker of grief for her butchered kin.

Heartless.

Yet all eyes remained locked on Lu Yuan—

Waiting for his next move.

“Disappointing, Xiao Yun’er.”

Lu Yuan wiped his blade.

“Your family dies… and what does Tang Yun do?”

“What does your precious holy land do?”

“Nothing but cower.”

Another swing.

Another head.

The air thickened with iron-scented mist.

—

The Emperors Move

“Enough!”

Yun Conglong’s roar shook the mountains.

“To slaughter innocents so young—your depravity knows no bounds!”

“Today, you die!”

Imperial might erupted as he lunged forward.

The four allied Emperors followed—

Thunderblade Emperor.

Nine Swords Emperor.

Flame Emperor.

Human Emperor Sovereign.

“You four fossils!”

Elder Fang Lu barred their path, disdain dripping from his words.

“This isn’t your territory, nor the Cloud Sword Holy Land’s.”

“Meddle here, and we’ll see if your bones are as brittle as your reputations!”

The five demonic elders surged forward, their auras clashing like tidal waves.

By all laws of the cultivation world—

This was not the Cloud Sword Holy Land’s domain.

The Xiao Family’s fate was not their jurisdiction.

Yet they’d crossed the line.

“Spare us your righteous drivel!”

Yun Conglong’s teeth ground together.

“Demonic scum like you deserve only death!”

“Come then!” Fang Lu sneered.

“But know this—your intervention won’t save a single Xiao.”
