Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

The journey was far smoother than expected, and they did not encounter a

single monster beast.

Luo Ruying was worried that Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye might not be able

to bear the long hours of flying, so she stopped to rest.

Just as they were about to rest, they could faintly hear the sound of

galloping horses not far from them.

Ning Yechen was unsurprised.

He had long detected the situation up ahead.

The other party had low cultivation, so he felt they were not after his

wife and daughter. He was not anxious about taking action.

Luo Ruying sensed people approaching, so she became tense.

She was worried they were coming after her. She told Ning Yechen to take

care of Luo Hongye and went to check out the approaching people.

Luo Ruying concealed her breath and jumped onto a large tree to observe

them secretly.

On the road below, two people were riding horses swiftly.

One of them was a young woman around 15 years old. She looked pretty and

wore her hair in a ponytail. She gave off a cool and heroic aura.

The other party was a square-faced middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was injured in several places and covered in blood.

Behind them was a group of masked men armed with swords, chasing after

them through the forest.

The strength gap between the two sides was obvious, but neither side\'s

cultivation was high.

The highest cultivation was only at the Spiritual Energy Martial realm.

Luo Ruying quickly deduced they were not after her.

She just happened to run into the assassination.

Seeing the assassins catch up, the middle-aged man said to the young

woman, "Miss, go! I\'ll stay and stop them!"

"No! Uncle Zhang, we\'re going together! We are almost at Nanli City!" Qi

Yuan said unwillingly to the middle-aged man.

Zhang He was the Qi family\'s steward. He had watched her grow up and

was her bodyguard. She did not want to see him die here to delay the

assassins.

"Hmph! None of you are leaving!" A man in black jumped into the air and

fired dozens of darts at Qi Yuan and Zhang He.

The darts were so fast that it was impossible for Qi Yuan and Zhang He

to dodge them.

Zhang He could only jump over to hold Qi Yuan and use his body to block

the darts.

The two of them fell off the horses, and the horses were killed by the

darts.

"Uncle Zhang! Uncle Zhang! Are you okay?" Qi Yuan looked concernedly at

Zhang He, who had used his body to defend her.

Zhang He was struck by several darts in the back. Coupled with his

existing injuries, he was very weak now. "Miss, leave me. Just go!"

"Go? Where do you think you\'re going?"

Dozens of men in black landed, surrounding Qi Yuan and Zhang He. They

slowly approached Qi Yuan and Zhang He, armed with bloody swords.

Seeing that they were surrounded, Zhang He felt despair.

In his current state, it was likely impossible for them to be able to

break through the encirclement.

Qi Yuan watched the men in black slowly approach but was unafraid. She

stood up with her sword and looked at them. She had made up her mind and

was prepared to die!

The men in black glanced at each other with mocking expressions.

They were not worried.

It was just a lass at the Spirit Detection realm. She could not fight

them.

It was hilarious.

"Let me fight the girl!" A man in black walked up and waved at Qi Yuan

in contempt.

Qi Yuan angrily swung her sword forward, but the man in black avoided

her effortlessly and mocked her. "Sure enough, you are the useless

daughter of the Qi family. What makes you think you can resist? You

might not be talented, but you have a pretty face. I wonder how a

daughter of the Qi family tastes?"

The man in black looked at Qi Yuan\'s body lasciviously.

"Why don\'t we strip her? I\'m sure the sight will be beautiful! Hahaha!"

another man in black chimed in and teased.

Qi Yuan\'s face was crimson with anger. She gritted her teeth, raised her

sword, and attacked the man in black.

The man in black turned sideways to dodge the attack. He raised his hand

to strike Qi Yuan\'s sword, sending it flying out of her hand, and kicked

her to the ground.

Qi Yuan clutched her belly with despair and unwillingness in her eyes.

Her cultivation was too low!

She was no match for these assassins. She was just meat on the chopping

board!

"Aren\'t you going to resist anymore?" The man in black slowly walked up

to Qi Yuan and sliced her clothes with his sword.

"Miss!" Zhang He struggled to get up from the ground, but another

assassin kicked him down.

He could only watch as they stripped Qi Yuan but was unable to do

anything. All he could hear was lewd and mocking laughter.

Zhang He could not bear watching and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, the lewd laughter stopped.

When Zhang He opened his eyes, he saw a gorgeous woman holding a sword,

standing in front of Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan, known as the number one beauty in Nanli City, paled in

comparison to this woman.

Even Qi Yuan could not help going into a daze. She was astounded by Luo

Ruying\'s beauty. It was unfathomable for someone as beautiful as her to

exist!

Moments later, Qi Yuan discovered that the man in black had a sword

pierced right through the heart and collapsed to the ground with

indignation on his face.

When did this woman appear, and when did she kill this man? Qi Yuan did

not know at all!

Luo Ruying looked at the surrounding men in black and threatened coolly,

"If you don\'t leave now, you can forget about ever leaving!"

Luo Ruying had observed for a while. In the end, she decided to help

save Zhang He and Qi Yuan.

She did not want to get involved, but she could not stand the despicable

actions of these assassins.

In a bush not far away, two heads, one big and one small, were secretly

watching Luo Ruying.

It was Ning Yechen and Luo Hongye, who had secretly followed her.

Seeing that Luo Ruying planned to let off the assassins, Ning Yechen

shook his head.

His wife was too kind.

If it were him, he would have ruthlessly killed them!

If they let these people go, they might bring more trouble in the

future.

Even though mosquitoes like them were of no threat, no matter how many

of them there were, and he would simply have to slap them a few more

times, it would still be annoying to have them buzzing by his ear all

the time.

Luo Hongye looked at the surrounded Luo Ruying. She raised her head and

asked Ning Yechen in concern, "Daddy, do those baddies want to bully

Mommy?"

Smiling, Ning Yechen rubbed Luo Hongye\'s head. "Don\'t worry. Just them

alone can\'t do anything to your mother."
