Facing such a contingent, to take action without harming the Princess would likely result in a significant loss of strength, even if the objective were achieved. To simply let it go?

Impossible! Boxter’s mind raced.

The Black Elf bloodline mage from the Mammon Demon Clan was dead! This could absolutely not be let slide!

Boxter knew clearly that he had to detain this group of demons, awaiting the arrival of the clan’s experts and higher-ranking devils to handle the matter. Since that was the case, he still needed to find a way to keep Lucifer Liushui here for a few more days.

“Esteemed Princess, your presence in this humble city of Du Zun brings me immense honor,” Boxter rushed forward, eagerly helping Lucifer Liushui dismount, his demeanor utterly subservient and respectful. “Du Zun City is filled with many interesting trinkets and sights.

I wonder if the Princess might be interested in staying a couple more days? It would allow this humble one a chance to properly entertain you…” “Stay a couple more days?” Lucifer Liushui wore a contemplative expression, making Boxter extremely nervous, fearing the Princess might voice a lack of interest, which would make keeping her here difficult.

“Very well. I shall stay two more days to see what fun there is in Du Zun City.” Lucifer Liushui gently nudged her horse with her legs to move forward, glancing at Qian Jin.

“Jiliu Feijing, pay attention. This is Du Zun City, not some remote mountain ditch you’re used to.

There are rules here.” “Hmph! Esteemed Princess, I know exactly what I am doing.” Boxter secretly shook his head watching Qian Jin’s arrogant expression.

This half-blood demon! He truly inherited the arrogance of the Lucifer clan; even facing a Royal Princess, he maintained sufficient pride.

If he possessed bloodline power, he might live a few days longer. A half-blood demon without bloodline power, possessing the arrogance of a pure-blooded Lucifer—this combination was a guaranteed path to a quick death.

The assembled demons knelt on the ground, watching Qian Jin depart. They then rose, wiping cold sweat from their brows.

Today’s events were deeply shocking: not only had the rumored Tenth Princess, Lucifer Liushui, arrived, but she had brought along an exceedingly arrogant, crude, and brutal rustic. It was only then that the other demons registered what had happened: the City Defense General, Sabonis Phil, had been slain by the wild, rude, and arrogant rustic, the half-blood demon Jiliu Feijing.

Some collected the corpse, others repaired the city walls, some entered the city, and others departed. Even the Mammon Demon Clan’s city guards failed to extort any mood or information from those entering or leaving today.

Only later would the Star Clan realize whether another savage, rude, and arrogant demon like Jiliu Feijing might emerge. Having already lost three demonic lives at the city gate today, everyone’s mood was distinctly low.

After settling accommodations for Qian Jin and his entourage, Boxter hurried back to his room, unlocked the chained Falcon, swiftly placed the written letter inside, and sent the extremely fast flying bird away. After seeing off the Falcon, Boxter began to worry again.

He had heard that the Tenth Princess, that vixen, required a physically strong male demon to accompany her every night, only to have the demon killed at daybreak. Whom should he find to appease that vixen?

“Alas… what a pity… why did Feiyang kill the male demons?” Boxter’s gaze drifted to Lucifer Liushui’s seductive figure, causing him to swallow saliva involuntarily. Those long, graceful legs, those full, proud breasts, that slender waist, that luminous skin, and that one eye!

Boxter realized that the Tenth Princess missing an eye only stoked the desires of male demons further. He intensely wished to press her beneath him and severely punish her, avenging the men she had killed before, forcing her to take in his seed, to submit to him, the master demon.

Gulp… Boxter forcefully squeezed his eyes shut, swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva before finally dragging that thought out of his mind. Such a beautiful demon would be enjoyable to mess with, but losing his life over it was not worth the price!

“Lord City Master… Lord City Master, something terrible has happened…” A Beliar demon burst into the room, panting heavily, his expression anxious as he addressed Boxter, whose lower regions were showing certain changes. “The people of Sabonis… the Sabonis family have arrived… they demand… they demand severe punishment for the murderer.” “How did the Sabonis family arrive so quickly?” Boxter was startled.

“I only just sent the message; it shouldn't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest… Right!” Boxter slapped his forehead in sudden realization. The Sabonis family members mentioned by the Beliar demon were not from the Mammon Demon Clan’s main territory, but rather Sabonis Phil’s wife and children within Du Zun City!

“They are here! This is excellent, truly excellent timing!

That bastard Phil has caused me trouble over the years, taking many benefits that should have been mine under the guise of military command. Now is the chance for revenge!” A cunning smile spread across Boxter’s face.

He strode towards the door, saying to the Beliar demon beside him, “Since they are the General’s family, how can you let them wait outside? Hurry and escort them in with me…” “No need, City Master!” The door to Boxter’s inner courtyard was brutally and violently kicked open by a demon.

The fine wooden panel could not withstand the immense destructive force and shattered into several pieces, littering the ground and making the scene utterly chaotic. With the door panel broken, a young, imposing Mammon demon appeared, carrying a five-colored, gold-foiled magic staff, his face contorted with anger as he supported a middle-aged beautiful demoness wearing a mournful, tear-streaked expression.

By Mammon Demon standards, this beauty was truly stunning. Boxter’s eyes lit up upon seeing the beauty.

His Adam’s apple bobbed repeatedly as he swallowed saliva; his recently swollen member threatened another reaction. “Sabonis Jianying, what is the meaning of this?” Boxter glared fiercely at the young Mammon demon who had broken in, adopting an air of righteous anger.

“This is the City Lord’s Mansion, not your Sabonis General’s Residence! It is not your place to cause trouble here.” “Cause trouble?” A cold sneer touched the lips of the young Sabonis Jianying.

He pointed his magic staff directly at Boxter. “I am here today to kill a demon!

I heard that the Great Demon General, the City Master, politely escorted my father’s murderer to the General’s Mansion! Is this true?” Boxter’s face stiffened and darkened.

Forcing down the joy bubbling inside him, he spoke in a low voice, “Yes, I invited them here…” “Great Demon General City Master, I know you and my father were not on good terms, but that is internal Mammon Demon Clan business.” Sabonis Jianying rudely cut off Boxter’s speech. “When facing an external enemy demon, you should unite!

Yet you treat my father this way; this is truly disappointing to the demons!” Boxter’s expression grew even darker, though amidst the gloom, flickers of shyness and shame were subtly visible. He stammered, lips trembling, “I… I…” “No need to say more, Great Demon General City Master.” Sabonis Jianying waved his hand, and a dozen mages leaped in behind him.

“Tell me where the murderer is; I will handle this. Once everything is settled, I will not report you to the Elder Council for failing to assist my father when he was in peril.” “Is that so?” A sense of relief washed over Boxter, as if he had been deeply worried about Sabonis Jianying reporting him.

“Can you keep your word?” “Of course!” Sabonis Jianying puffed out his chest, confidence mingled with a slight cold smirk in his eyes. Of course?

Once I kill that demon, I’ll immediately report you to the Council! Then, even His Majesty, the Great Demon King, cannot protect you.

The City Lord of Du Zun City and the City Defense General—both will be mine, Sabonis Jianying’s! “Dare to provoke my Sabonis clan?” Sabonis Jianying brandished his magic staff.

“I will capture him, cut out his tongue! Sever his arms, and toss him into the horde of fiendish beasts in the Abyss, to be torn apart until death!” “He…” Boxter kindly reminded him, “That is a male demon.” “Even better!” Sabonis Jianying’s smile dripped with endless cruelty.

“Then I will first capture him and let those male demons who wish to play with him have their fill. Afterward… I will let the beasts in the Abyss torture him!

That way, I can even collect handsome entrance fees from those who wish to watch the abuse. Not bad at all.” “Very well… they are in…” “No need to look!

I am here…” Qian Jin’s voice exploded like a clap of thunder, suddenly shattering the air. He stood atop the outer roof of the building where Boxter resided, the three strings of his Moon-Swallowing Bow already drawn taut into a perfect full moon.

Three arrowheads, shimmering like wolf teeth, were locked tightly onto the three mages in the courtyard. As the thunderous roar erupted, the three arrows waiting on the Moon-Swallowing Bow shot forth with a piercing whistle, spinning rapidly through the air as they lunged toward the demons in the courtyard.

No one expected Qian Jin to be in that location! No one expected Qian Jin to strike first!

No one expected Qian Jin’s first strike to be so vicious! Before Sabonis Jianying could even move his magic staff, an arrow pierced his throat, the broad, hard fletching slamming his body violently against the wall behind him.

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Three sounds of heavy objects hitting the ground occurred almost simultaneously.

If not for a warrior with powerful hearing, one might truly mistake it for a single sound instead of three overlapping impacts. As the three heavy thuds echoed, the courtyard was short three standing demons, and the wall gained three demons pinned against it!

The arrows pierced the throats of the three demons, pinning them alive to the courtyard wall. Blood slowly trickled down from the arrows.

Sabonis Jianying’s body swayed slightly on the wall. His eyes, wide with terror and strained by the immense impact to the point of nearly popping from his sockets, stared blankly at the wall where he was impaled above the roof.

The other two demons had died instantly upon being pierced through the throat, but Sabonis did not die immediately. The arrow had shredded his vocal cords, pinning him to the wall without instantly claiming his life.

He strained his mouth open, attempting to utter a sound, but no noise emerged, only blood flowing from his mouth.
