“What is that, a memory projection? Is this an ability reserved for honored guests of the Kun Kun Clan?”

“No, whose memory is that?”

The sudden scene that appeared in the sky drew the attention of all the Yao cultivators present.

“Oh?” The Demon Lord raised her brows in genuine surprise. “That’s quite a nice ability.”

The power to extract memories was not common in the cultivation world.

As the ruler of the Demon Realm, she naturally possessed such an ability herself.

But the restrictions were heavy, and the fragments one could extract were influenced by the target’s cultivation and temperament.

If mishandled, it was easy to be countered by the target instead—having one’s realm fall was the least of it; the real danger was damaging one’s foundation, suffering backlash, or even being seized and possessed.

The Demon Lord’s gaze settled on Lin Mo, not far ahead—his robes luxurious, bearing noble, his looks stunning.

Seeing his utterly calm expression, the Demon Lord grew even more certain that this ability was different from the memory-extraction she knew.

Most importantly, it could display the memories outwardly.

In the sky, the contents of the scene gradually became clear to the assembled Yao cultivators.

“Isn’t that the young clan leader of the Lihu Tiger Clan?”

In the image, a dark-skinned man had just picked up a batch of meat recently hunted by the Lihu Tiger Clan.

Smiling broadly, he named several clans to his subordinates.

“From now on, when you go hunting, head for these few clans.”

The women following the young clan leader of the Lihu Tiger Clan stared at the meat and pelts that appeared in the image, their eyes instantly turning red.

Those were their family, their clansmen.

So what Little Li said was all true!

But Little Li’s expression at this moment was rather ugly.

From shortly after the image began playing, she had realized this was her own memory.

When did he make a move on me? Why didn’t I feel anything at all?

The way Little Li looked at Lin Mo became extremely off.

This ability was simply terrifying. Fortunately, all her memories related to the organization had already been shackled by the two chief Dharma Protectors.

The scene continued to play.

Very soon, it shifted to the visit to the Devouring Clan.

In the image, the young clan leader of the Lihu Tiger Clan, as usual, handed over the agreed-upon betrothal gifts to the Devouring Clan.

Next came the terms for annulling the engagement.

When many of the Yao cultivators saw Qu Ruyan take out so much top-grade meat in one go, they were all dumbfounded.

Only the Demon Lord found nothing strange about it.

That was the inheritance of that Six-Tailed fellow.

What was expensive wasn’t just the meat, but also the countless spirit stones, all kinds of magic tools, pills, and cultivation methods.

“Since the engagement was annulled, why was there still conflict?”

The Yao cultivators kept watching.

Soon, the image reached the scene where Lin Mo and Qu Ruyan were blocked by the Devouring Clan and the Lihu Tiger Clan.

Even the dialogue was clearly audible to everyone.

“That young clan leader of the Lihu Tiger Clan is really shameless. And the Devouring Clan’s chief too, doing such filthy things.”

Under the barrage of contemptuous glares, the Devouring Clan’s chief felt his old face burn.

The Demon Lord said mildly, “So you really did want to control the bloodline of Pei Ling’s inheritor.”

The Devouring Clan’s chief’s expression changed drastically, and he hurried to explain, “Demon Lord, I only wished to revitalize the Yao clan.”

The Demon Lord had no desire to lay bare the Devouring Clan chief’s petty schemes.

Internal strife in the Demon Realm was far from rare. By nature, the Yao clan lived by the law of the jungle. So the Demon Lord seldom involved herself in such matters.

The next scene was Kun Peng puffing out his chest and rushing forth to play the hero saving the beauty.

“The young master of the Kun Kun Clan does have some backbone. Not bad at all.”

Even Elder Kun regarded himself with a bit more favor.

“This time, you actually did well.”

Kun Peng hadn’t had long to strut.

Immediately after, the footage of him being brutally beaten played out, and the expressions of the Yao cultivators all turned a bit strange.

“Uh… his courage is fine, he’s just a bit weak.”

The older female cultivators of the Kun Kun Clan comforted their young master.

“It’s all right. Even if you didn’t last long, Young Master, you still tried your best.”

“Short can be very cute too.”

Kun Peng’s face turned scarlet at their words.

Fortunately, the next part of the image drew everyone’s attention away.

Lin Mo’s move—raising a wall of fire to block the path—was simply too dazzling.

“What kind of fire is that? It’s so overbearing.”

“Didn’t you see? Even the maids beside the Lihu Tiger Clan’s young clan leader are in the Divine Transformation Realm, and their water spells still couldn’t extinguish that fire.”

The gazes of the Yao cultivators toward Lin Mo all turned reverent.

The Demon Lord looked at Lin Mo again, her appreciation undisguised. “What an outstanding little phoenix.”

Far away, Lin Mo couldn’t see the Demon Lord’s expression, but he couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched the whole time.

It wasn’t hostile—just something strangely off, hard to put into words.

Next in the image was the Lihu young clan leader severing his own arms to save himself, and Qu Ruyan stepping in decisively.

“As expected of a bloodline that swims in muddy waters. Truly ruthless.”

“That young master of the Lihu Tiger Clan is really bold. If he actually married that girl, wouldn’t he be afraid she’d get hungry one day and eat him?”

The Yao cultivators unconsciously edged a few steps away from Qu Ruyan. The scene shifted again.

After the Lihu Tiger Clan withdrew, Little Li and Little Jade attacked together, piercing straight through the young clan leader’s chest. The truth was laid bare. None of the Yao cultivators had expected this outcome.

Hu Xuan glared viciously at Little Li and Little Jade. “So it was you two who killed my son.”

“And what exactly is Night-Raid? Why did you two hide in my clan—what was your purpose?” The exploration of Little Li’s memories continued.

He was also very curious about what Night-Raid’s true goal was.

But to his surprise, everything related to Night-Raid was a blank.

“What’s going on?” The system answered, “Host, all of the two women’s memories related to Night-Raid have been deliberately sealed.”

So this Night-Raid organization was that cautious.

The Demon Lord spoke then. “Since the truth is clear, those two who killed your son—you may deal with them yourself.”

With the Demon Lord’s permission, Hu Xuan moved to avenge his adopted son.

However, from the moment their memories began to be projected, Little Li and Little Jade had already prepared their escape.

Little Li shot Lin Mo a vicious look. “I’ll remember you.”

Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly reminded, “They’re about to run.”

A spatial crack opened in front of Little Li and Little Jade, and in the blink of an eye, the two stepped inside.

The Demon Lord waved her hand, and a mass of violet demonic qi flew into the closing spatial fissure.

She paused, slightly stunned. “The link is severed.”

“They actually went somewhere beyond the Three Realms.”

Lin Mo was also a bit taken aback. “They really got away?”

The Demon Lord said, “Not entirely. As long as those two appear within the Three Realms again, I can seize them instantly.”

Lin Mo clicked his tongue. “So they still got away.”

“Forget it. I have to admit, this Night-Raid organization’s methods are truly impressive.”

Even the ruler of the Demon Realm hadn’t been able to keep those two.

Now that everything was out in the open, Lin Mo prepared to take his spirit pets back to the Human Realm.

Just as he was about to slip away, a mass of violet demonic qi once again wrapped around him, and the Demon Lord took him away from the spot.
