I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 7

7: How Should the Xiao Family Be Dealt With?

“We beg the Young Master’s punishment for our failure to arrive in time.”

“We beg the Young Master’s punishment for our failure to arrive in time.”

“We beg the Young Master’s punishment for our failure to arrive in time.”

At this moment, the elders of the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect knelt on one knee, pleading for punishment.

Meanwhile, the screams of bystanders filled the surroundings.

The Demon Sect guards showed no mercy—anyone who approached the Xiao estate was slaughtered without exception.

“No matter. You arrived just in time.”

“If not for your timely intervention, I would already be a corpse.”

“How could I blame you?”

As Lu Yuan spoke, his voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.

His icy gaze swept over the Xiao family, the corners of his lips curling slightly.

Beneath that seemingly ordinary smile lurked cruelty.

“Brother Lu Yuan, please spare me! I treated you the best in the entire Xiao family!”

“Brother Lu Yuan, you’re like my own flesh and bl00d! Don’t forget—I even treated you to meals!”

“Brother, if you spare me, I can be your concubine!”

“…”

The Xiao family members looked up at Lu Yuan, begging like desperate beggars.

Once, they had looked down on him with arrogance, never sparing him a glance.

Now, with their positions reversed, all they wanted was to survive.

“Silence!”

The Demon Sect Grand Elder’s roar cut through the air.

The Xiao family immediately shut their mouths, not daring to even breathe loudly.

They feared angering this elder.

“Grand Elder, since Xiao Yun’er can’t be found, how should we proceed?”

Lu Yuan turned to the Grand Elder, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

The desire to kill someone couldn’t be hidden.

Lu Yuan had given Xiao Yun’er his heart, only to end up like this.

She was his beloved—how could he let her off easily?

“Young Master, we’ve already issued a warrant. Every sect will participate in the search.”

“Our Demon Sect’s influence spans the world—everyone will be looking for them.”

“This old servant believes that where there’s a reward, there will be brave souls. We will find that wretched couple!”

“The moment there’s news, I will report to you immediately.”

The Grand Elder’s tone was filled with reverence.

He had watched Lu Yuan grow up—such a sensible child.

To think he had suffered so much outside.

It pained his heart.

If only Lu Yuan had stayed in the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect instead of going out to train…

“Remember—I want them alive!”

“They gouged out my eyes. They don’t get to die easily.”

Lu Yuan’s demand was simple:

Capture them alive. No matter what.

Even if they were barely breathing, they had to survive.

“Rest assured, Young Master. Those two will be delivered to you alive.”

The Grand Elder understood Lu Yuan’s intentions.

Even ordinary offenders of the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect met gruesome ends.

But this couple?

Not only did they blind Lu Yuan, they also eloped.

In any other sect, such cultivators would be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts.

Let alone when they offended the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect!

“Young Master, Elder, how should we deal with the outsiders?”

Just then, the guards returned after slaughtering the onlookers.

The Xiao estate was shrouded in a bloody mist.

Not even flies dared approach.

“Them?”

Lu Yuan’s cold eyes swept over the kneeling Xiao family members.

A single glance sent a shudder through them—they lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Despair surged through their bodies once more.

They didn’t dare speak, fearing that a single word would bring death.

The fate of the onlookers was proof enough.

“Let them kneel—properly.”

“Place a restriction on them, preventing them from standing.”

“If Xiao Yun’er doesn’t return in a day, they kneel for a day.”

“If she doesn’t return in a year, they kneel for a year.”

“If she never returns—they kneel until death!”

As Lu Yuan’s words fell, the Xiao family erupted in panic.

“This… we… Please spare us!”

“Brother Lu Yuan, I know you want to catch that b1tch Xiao Yun’er! Let me go—I’ll help you find her!”

“Yes! I’m Xiao Yun’er’s brother! If I summon her, she’ll come!”

“Brother Lu Yuan, give us a chance to atone!”

“…”

The Xiao family desperately tried to bargain.

They didn’t want to kneel here—if Xiao Yun’er never returned, they’d die on their knees.

But the Demon Sect guards didn’t obey them.

At Lu Yuan’s command, the guards moved.

Expressionless, they stepped forward, dark energy swirling in their palms.

Runes materialized, forming a simple restriction array before slamming into the Xiao family members.

Boom!

The ground trembled as if a massive boulder had crashed onto it.

Lu Yuan sat on the main seat, flames flickering in his blazing pupils.

His mood was excellent, his expression one of dark satisfaction.

The Xiao family’s faces were deathly pale, their eyes bloodshot, twisted in agony.

Some bled from their legs, their crimson lifeblood staining the white floors, forming rivers of red.

“Given your cultivation levels, the first day should be easy to endure.”

Lu Yuan’s murderous gaze swept over them.

Anyone who met his eyes flinched, too afraid to look back.

This restriction was simple—one of the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Sect’s most basic techniques.

Each day, another layer would activate.

One layer added a weight of 500kg.

Each new layer increased it by another thousand.

Until death.

For cultivators, 500 kilograms was bearable at first.

As their strength grew, so did their endurance.

But no one expected Lu Yuan to be so ruthless.

Even the Xiao family’s servants weren’t spared—all were forced to kneel in the courtyard.

To the Xiao family, this punishment was no different from humiliation.

They couldn’t stand—only kneel and await death.

Yet, they weren’t the ones who had wronged Lu Yuan.

It was Xiao Yun’er.

Why should they suffer?

The injustice festered in their hearts.

But they didn’t dare resist.

Didn’t dare speak out.

All they could do was endure it silently.

“Damn it! I’d rather die than suffer this humiliation!”
