I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 6

6: The Tragic Onlookers

“No… please spare me!”

“I was just acting impulsively earlier! I’ll help you find Xiao Yun’er—I’ll drag that b1tch before you!”

“Lu… brother-in-law… I was wrong! Please, beg him to let me go!”

Xiao Tianyou endured excruciating pain as he desperately pleaded with Lu Yuan, hoping he would spare his life.

As Xiao Tianyou collapsed, the Xiao family could no longer remain seated. If Xiao Tianyou were crippled, they would lose their last chance to turn the tables.

“We admit our mistake! Please spare our young master! We’ll definitely find Xiao Yun’er for you today!”

“Everyone, this matter started because of our Xiao family. Please give us a chance to atone!”

“I don’t want to die… I really don’t want to die! Someone, save me!”

“……”

At this moment, the wails of the Xiao family echoed to the heavens.

Men and women, young and old—all wore expressions of grief and despair. The arrogance they once displayed had completely vanished.

Some begged for Xiao Tianyou’s life.
Some begged for their own lives.
Others were so terrified they lost control of their bowels, fainting on the spot.

Yet no matter how desperately they screamed and cried, they all knew—there was no escape.

When these voices reached Lu Yuan’s ears, the corners of his lips curled upward, and a twisted sense of pleasure rose in his heart.

Before Lu Yuan could savor this feeling, someone from the Xiao family suddenly stepped forward and declared:

“Everyone, I know you’re from the Demon Sect, but vengeance has its proper target. I am the Xiao family’s Grand Elder—please give us a chance to redeem ourselves!”

With that, the Xiao family’s Grand Elder knelt to the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He kowtowed three times, his forehead striking the white marble floor until cracks formed, bl00d seeping outward.

“Give you a chance?”

The Demon Sect’s Grand Elder, hearing this, felt his previously suppressed fury reignite. He grabbed the Xiao elder by the collar and roared:

“I’ll give you a chance to go blind!”

With those words, the Demon Sect elder formed his hand into an eagle’s claw and gouged out the Xiao elder’s eyes.

Plop!

The eyeballs rolled onto the ground.

“Ah! My eyes… my eyes!”

“Please… give them back to me…”

The Xiao elder wailed in agony, crawling on the ground as he groped carefully, afraid of dirtying his own eyeballs.

“A piece of trash like you dares beg for mercy?”

The Demon Sect elder sneered, then—

Lift. Stomp.

Squelch!

Like a bug being crushed underfoot, the Xiao elder’s eyeballs burst under the Demon Sect elder’s heel.

“This…”

The Xiao family trembled at the sight.

“Please, don’t kill me! I can help you find Xiao Yun’er!”

“Spare me, and I’ll serve you!”

“Brother Lu Yuan, speak for us! Just one word from you, and they’ll let us go!”

“……”

The shrill screams and desperate pleas grew louder and more frantic.

Even before the slaughter began, the scene was already one of utter despair.

The commotion drew the attention of outsiders.

“What’s happening in the Xiao family? They just held a wedding yesterday—are they holding a funeral today?”

“From the sounds of it, the groom lost something important… Young people these days have no restraint.”

“That wild? The Xiao family’s young mistress must be quite the tigress!”

“Tsk, I always said that Lu Yuan kid was all looks, no substance.”

“Enough gossip! It’s not what you think—the Xiao family is kneeling!”

“……”

The onlookers tried to get closer, but the crowd was too dense, their murmurs rising into a clamor.

Some even climbed the walls to peek inside.

The spectators were burning with curiosity—what was happening in the Xiao family?

“Enough noise!”

The Demon Sect Grand Elder’s brow furrowed in irritation. The crowd’s nosiness and chatter only stoked his fury.

“Men! Kill every last one of these bystanders! Leave none alive!”

His roar carried overwhelming bloodlust.

Already furious over Lu Yuan’s blinding and the Xiao family’s cowardly begging, he now had the perfect outlet for his rage—the unlucky onlookers.

“YES!”

The guards of the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect responded in unison, their murderous aura surging like a tidal wave.

“KILL!”

The guards charged forth like a flood, their battle cries shaking the earth.

Their young master had suffered humiliation during his training journey.

If they didn’t paint the town red, the Demon Sect would become a laughingstock.

The massacre began instantly.

The crowd, realizing the danger too late, panicked.

Before they could flee, blades descended.

Bl00d sprayed into the sky.

The stench of death filled the air.

“Brother! I was just watching! Don’t kill me!”

“Run! They’re from the Demon Sect! Someone alert the city lord!”

“Spare me! I’m just a nobody!”

“I—”

By the time the spectators reacted, they were already surrounded.

Anyone who dared approach the Xiao estate was slaughtered without mercy.

Even a stray dog passing by would get kicked twice.

……

“Young Master, allow me to transplant the eyes first.”

The Demon Sect Grand Elder turned to Lu Yuan.

Right now, dealing with the Xiao family was secondary—restoring the young master’s vision took priority.

“No need to beg. You won’t live past today.”

He grabbed the unconscious Xiao Tianyou, a gleaming dagger appearing in his hand.

“No… AHHH—!”

Xiao Tianyou’s plea was cut short as agony exploded in his skull.

Scorching bl00d gushed from his eye sockets.

He wanted to clutch his face, but his shattered bones left him helpless.

Meanwhile, the Grand Elder worked meticulously, his movements precise.

Eye extraction required extreme care—even the slightest damage to the pupils would render them useless.

Though the Blazing Sun Pupils were inferior to the Heavenly Demon Emperor Eyes, they were better than nothing.

While they couldn’t accelerate cultivation like the Emperor Eyes, they could unleash the Blazing Sunfire—a purifying flame that incinerated all evil.

They also enhanced fire-attribute comprehension, speeding up related cultivation techniques.

As the Grand Elder worked, Xiao Tianyou passed out from the pain.

“Done. Truly worthy of the Blazing Sun Pupils. For them to serve my young master is your honor.”

The Grand Elder examined the extracted eyes, which radiated scorching heat, distorting the surrounding air.

Even the bl00d on them had evaporated.

“Young Master, forgive my impertinence.”

Green light—life essence—flared from his palms, shocking the other elders.

The Grand Elder was using his own lifespan to heal Lu Yuan!

This method would rapidly restore Lu Yuan’s vision and heal his injuries… at the cost of the Grand Elder’s longevity.

“Young Master, it is done.”

The Grand Elder, drenched in sweat and pale-faced, stepped back.

Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes—his sight had returned.

Though Xiao Tianyou’s Blazing Sun Pupils were no match for his original Heavenly Demon Emperor Eyes, they were serviceable for now.

“Congratulations, Young Master, on regaining your sight!”

The Grand Elder dropped to one knee, guilt-ridden.

“This subordinate deserves punishment for failing to protect you! Please discipline us as you see fit!”
