Chapter 200: The Demoness Who Eats People and Leaves No Bones

The little demoness smiled coldly and said to the old geezer: “Open your eyes and watch. Do you think I dare, or not?”

She clapped lightly, and with a crisp snap, a deep wave of law power rippled out in all directions until it covered the entire Celestial Masters Clan. At once, hundreds of streams of red light rushed in from every side and merged into her palm.

Seeing this, You Jing Lei’s heart thumped wildly. He shouted: “What did you just do!”

Before his voice fell, one of his direct descendants stumbled in. The young man looked terrified. He dropped to his knees with a thud and cried to him: “Ancestor, something terrible happened!”

The kneeling disciple choked out his report: “Ancestor, just now, every disciple of our bloodline who broke through to level-seven talisman master was hit by the Celestial Master Tribulation. They are in extreme danger. Please save them!”

You Jing Lei hurried to ask: “What about the other factions’ disciples? Are they the same?”

The messenger shook his head and answered: “No. Only our bloodline was affected. Everyone else is safe and sound.”

A shiver ran through every elder present as their eyes shifted toward the little demoness. She had not lied. She not only dared to do it, she could really do it. That meant they had to rethink how to deal with her.

You Jing Lei’s eyes went red as he roared: “You are taking credit and using it to threaten the clan. Today I will punish you!”

Someone stepped in to calm him, but he shouted over them: “You all understand how serious this is, do you not? If this little wretch relies on this, she will become lawless. If she uses this authority whenever she is unhappy, she will hold the lifeline of our clan!”

Faces turned grave. He was not wrong. The clan’s lifeline could not rest in one person’s hands, especially in the hands of a junior who might hold a grudge against the clan.

He pressed his point: “Do not hesitate. Her life belongs to the clan, so everything she has should also belong to the clan. Today we must make her hand over the authority!”

That stirred many hearts. None of them wanted their juniors’ futures in the little demoness’s hands.

One elder tried soft words: “Cang Yue, you are a sensible child. If you hand over the authority on your own, the clan will reward you greatly.” She acted like she did not hear him.

She swept her gaze across the hall and said, voice icy: “If you want to make a move on me, step forward. Once the bow is drawn there is no turning back, so think hard about the consequences.”

Many elders bristled with anger at being warned by a junior, but in the end no one dared to be first. Every elder had a crowd of children and grandchildren behind them. This was not a risk they could take.

You Jing Lei saw no one moving and snarled as he gathered force. You Jing Feng’s aura exploded as he pressed him down and said: “Get lost.”

You Jing Lei shook under the pressure and snapped back: “Fine, fine. We are both Supreme Elders. Do not think you can do whatever you want just because you are a Saint. Today I will fight you even if it costs me.”

He crushed a jade pendant. With a sharp crack, the air split, and two Saint auras descended. You Jing Yu and You Jing Xiao stepped out. Both were Saints of the Celestial Masters Clan. Though each was weaker than You Jing Feng alone, together they did not fear him.

You Jing Lei spread his hands and appealed: “Brothers, you already know what is happening. I am doing this for the clan. Please, help me.” At once the two newly arrived Saints let their auras bloom. Their stance needed no more words.

You Jing Feng narrowed his eyes and asked: “You truly want to go this far?” They answered without warmth: “Hand over the authority, and today will be wiped clean.”

Cang Yue came to stand beside You Jing Feng and said coolly: “Grandfather, why waste words with them? If they can call people, can’t we?”

You Jing Feng frowned: “Girl, you really want to do this?” She answered in a light tone: “Of course. The little silver rogue set me up with a few trump cards. Why should I not use them?” He thought for a breath and nodded: “You are right.”

A new jade pendant appeared in You Jing Feng’s hand. He warned the others: “You can still back off now.”

You Jing Lei laughed at him: “Stop pretending. Our clan has only three Saints in total. You think you can bring in two more Saints?”

You Jing Feng sighed: “Then this is my only choice.” He crushed the jade pendant.

In the instant it shattered, a terrifying Saintly might slammed down. Space cracked, and three Daoist figures stepped out of the rift.

Long Ling Yun’s eyes lit up with joy as she rushed straight to the little demoness and hugged her, calling out: “Senior sister!”

The other two were the Sword Saint and his wife, who had just become a Saint. The Sword Saint stepped forward and barked: “Who dares bully my sworn brother’s woman, step out and see if I flatten this place or not!” With a ringing clang, his sword left its sheath, and a storm of sword qi filled the air.

Several elders screamed as if their very souls were being torn apart. They could not bear the pressure.

Cang Yue smiled sweetly at the pair and called: “Big brother, sister-in-law.” The Sword Saint was Zhou Tong’s sworn brother, so that was the right way to address them.

The rest of the Celestial Masters Clan felt as if they had been plunged into ice water. [Good grief, what a backer.] No one had told them the little demoness had three Saint-level guardians at her side. Worse, the one who had given her the authority had not even appeared yet. If that person came, the clan could be overturned in minutes. [Just how thick of a thigh did this woman grab onto?]

The Sword Saint snorted: “Enough talking. Let’s do this.” Killing intent bled into the air.

Both clan Saints changed faces at once and spoke in a hurry: “Wait, this may be a misunderstanding.” They knew how to judge the moment. This was a fight they could not win.

Hearing that, the little demoness’s lips curved. She pointed at You Chuan and asked: “If it is a misunderstanding, how will you handle him?”

You Jing Yu raised a hand and slapped down. “Offending the Saintess is a crime beyond forgiveness.” You Chuan’s body shattered into nothing.

You Jing Lei cried out: “No, Chuan’er!” That grandson had been the brightest of his line.

You Jing Yu turned back and asked gently, his manner now completely different: “Handled like this, Saintess, are you satisfied?”

Cang Yue answered without changing tone: “Not enough. The one who started this must be punished.”

You Jing Lei shook, voice cracking with rage: “Do not push me too far. My grandson is dead. What more do you want!”

You Jing Xiao did not hesitate. He announced: “From today on, strip You Jing Lei of the title of Supreme Elder.”

“No!” You Jing Lei could not accept it. He had schemed and clawed for countless years to become a Supreme Elder without even being a Saint. Now one sentence erased it all.

Before he could finish his cry, a massive palm pressed down from above and pinned him to the floor. You Jing Xiao’s voice went cold as he said: “This is the joint decision of the three of us. You have no say.”

Then he turned back to Cang Yue, his eyes warm again: “Girl, how is this?”

Cang Yue smiled, yet still shook her head. She pronounced slowly: “Still not enough. I want all disciples of You Jing Lei’s line demoted to collateral. Without great merit, they cannot regain their status.”

A hiss ran around the hall. Fear filled every gaze fixed on her. The nickname fit too well. She really was a demoness who ate people and left no bones.
