I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 401: On the surface, it's Star Fury, but in reality, it's a suicide squad?

Upon hearing this, Xu Lin and Chen Mo's expressions changed simultaneously!
Having experienced the previous turmoil, the two of them now almost react with shock at the mere mention of the word "detonation."

"What is blood haze?" Chen Mo asked, frowning.

The short-haired woman looked puzzled and said cautiously, "Everything we've done has been following your instructions. If you are Kalin, how could you not know about Blood Haze?"

"Are you questioning me?" Chen Mo's tone was slightly cold, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and the wolf head looked even more ferocious.

"Tana dares not, please forgive me, Kalin!" The short-haired woman trembled and hurriedly bowed her head in apology.

While enhancing his supernatural powers and increasing his "trust" emotions, Chen Mo said in a condescending tone, "Fool, I'm testing you to see if you've fully grasped my will."

Tana suddenly realized, "I see."

"You must answer whatever I ask next, without holding anything back."

"As ordered."

"Tell me your identities and backgrounds, as well as the specific functions of the Blood Mist, in detail."

"Yes……"

Tana was now completely convinced of Chen Mo's identity and told him everything without reservation.

There are seven tribes in the entire Southern Wilderness, which are further subdivided into nine banners and eighteen caves. Each tribe has its own unique totem and belief, and the abilities they possess are also completely different.

Ugo was the leader of the Gray Forest Banner under the Bone-Eating Tribe. They worshipped the "Wolf God Kalin" and possessed extremely strong physiques.

Especially after reaching adulthood, they receive divine blessings and become immune to water and fire, and impervious to swords and blades. The best among them have physical strength comparable to that of a human master of external martial arts!
They were also skilled in archery and horsemanship, and the open terrain of the grassland amplified their advantage. They fought and ran, making them very difficult to deal with and causing considerable trouble for the border guards.

But they're just difficult to deal with.

Faced with such a huge disparity in numbers, these so-called advantages are utterly insignificant.

Princess Chu Yanli of the Great Yuan Dynasty possesses abundant martial virtue and is not only exceptionally strong herself, but has also been continuously expanding her military strength over the years.

The current strength of Xuanhuang and Tianfeng Army has reached an astonishing 50,000 people, and this number is still rising!
Most importantly, there are no old, weak, sick, or disabled people among them; they are all elite soldiers who are good at fighting!

In particular, the Xuanhuang Army possesses the [Ten Directions Blood Sky Formation], which can gather the power of everyone together, seal off the space, and perfectly counter the barbarians who are good at guerrilla warfare and mounted archery!
Once trapped inside, unless you are a "King Realm" expert, there is absolutely no way to escape!

It is evident that once the Great Yuan Emperor passes away, the ceasefire edict will naturally become invalid, and Chu Yanli's iron cavalry will surely trample across the Southern Wilderness, at which point the entire barbarian tribe will face extinction.

The Bone-Eating Division knows this better than anyone else!
"So that's why you came up with this plan, intending to make a desperate, all-or-nothing exchange?" Chen Mo asked.

“That’s right.” Tana nodded and said, “There’s a saying among humans, ‘When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken,’ and another saying, ‘Strike the snake at its vital point…’”

"Alright, stop showing off your vocabulary and get down to business," Chen Mo interrupted impatiently.

"Humans are plotting against us, and we are plotting against humans in return. Everything is part of Lord Ugo's plan..."

After hearing Tana's answer, Chen Mo finally understood her ultimate goal.

Previously, the barbarians cooperated with Chu Heng by supplying him with barbarian slaves, in exchange for a temporary ceasefire decree.

However, after the Kyoto barbarian slave case broke out, the transaction was forced to stop, and the situation became unpredictable. The Bone-Eating Clan sensed danger.

So, under Ugo's instruction and with the secret assistance of the Gu God Cult, the tribal temple priest concocted a toxin called "Blood Haze" and implanted it into the bodies of these barbarian slaves.

Blood haze usually lies dormant in the blood and does not show any abnormalities.

However, once they use the secret method to self-destruct, the poison gas will be absorbed into the air and spread rapidly. If ordinary people inhale it, they will become mobile sources of infection and die within seven days.

The toxic gases produced by the explosion will further pollute the air and water...

Under this chain reaction, the entire city of Kyoto will eventually be shrouded in a blood-red haze!
Although this thing poses no threat to cultivators who have transcended the mortal realm, its original purpose was to target court officials and defenseless common people!
"Human bombs combined with biological weapons, that's quite creative." Chen Mo's eyes were icy. "So you're not Star Fury, but a suicide squad?"

If what Tana said is true, once this blood haze erupts, the capital city will become a true hell on earth!
It should be noted that the Empress herself was only human and could very well face mortal danger!

Hard.

The fist is hard.

Chen Mo silently clenched his fists in his sleeves, suppressing his anger as he asked, "I can understand your targeting of court officials, but what benefit do you gain from slaughtering so many innocent people?"

"Hmph, when it comes to the survival of the race, who is innocent?"

Tana's eyes flashed with deep hatred as she said, "Chu Yanli slaughtered my people, sparing neither the old nor the young, nor even women and children. She also beheaded thousands of prisoners of war, arranging their heads into a nine-story tower... We were just returning the favor."

Chen Mo frowned and said, "But in the very beginning, weren't you the ones who invaded the Great Yuan first?"

Tana said matter-of-factly, "That's land we seized with our own abilities, so it should naturally belong to us. Those humans who refused to leave had no choice but to be killed."

"Besides, why should the Yuan people have such fertile land, which they can squander and indulge in? Meanwhile, our people have to endure hunger and cold on the wasteland, and we don't even know if we can survive the next winter."

"..."

Chen Mo and Xu Lin exchanged a glance and fell silent.

The logic of robbers is always strikingly similar; reasoning with them is utterly illogical. The only way to subdue them is to kill them until they are terrified, until the mere mention of the word "Great Yuan" sends shivers down their spines!
Tragically, while Chu Yanli was fighting on the front lines, there were always people in the court who were holding her back.

In recent years, there have been constant accusations that she has been militaristic and aggressive, leading to a depletion of the national treasury, and even outrageous statements such as "humans and barbarians should coexist peacefully."

It's truly heartbreaking.

“The Yuan army is constantly shrinking our living space, and only in this way can we catch our breath,” Tana continued. “Otherwise, under the leadership of that madman Chu Yanli, the other five tribes will also face destruction.”

Qi Ye thought he had Wu Ge completely under his control, but little did he know that Wu Ge was also using him.

Driven by their own selfish desires, they almost caused a major disaster. No wonder Chu Yanli and Jinwu dreamed of eradicating the aristocratic families!
"Tiandu City is like the top courtesan in a brothel. On the surface, she sells her art but not her body, putting on a serious act of keeping out the 'no strangers allowed' facade. In reality, people are coming and going all day long, and it's almost worn out..."

Chen Mo shook his head and sighed, "Whether you're human or demon, the Kyoto Grand Stage is open to all, come if you want."

Tana looked bewildered and said, "Lord Karin, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"It's good that you don't understand." Chen Mo took a deep breath and put on a smile. "In view of your good performance, I have decided to give the Bone Corrosion Division a surprise."

"Thank you Lord Kalin!"

“This is what we should do!”

Tana was flattered and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly.

At this moment, Xu Lin leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Lord Chen, what do you think we should do with these barbarians?"

All the cases that needed to be reviewed have been reviewed, and now the question of how to handle them has become a problem.

These thirty-odd barbarian women are like ticking time bombs. If something goes wrong and the toxins spread, the consequences will be incalculable!
"How about we send it to the middle of nowhere and burn it?" Xu Lin suggested after thinking for a moment.

"That would be such a waste," Chen Mo said calmly. "I'm going to send them back."

"Go back? Go back where?" Xu Lin didn't react for a moment.

Chen Mo didn't explain much, but forced dozens of drops of blood from his fingertips, which then seeped into the hearts of the barbarian slaves.

Their expressions became blank, their eyes lifeless, and they stood there like puppets on strings.

After planting the Blood Spirit Seed, it can corrupt the mind and control their behavior to some extent, temporarily avoiding the risk of self-destruction. At this moment, Chen Mo seemed to notice something, and his expression changed slightly.

"Let's go, Lord Xu, another guest has arrived."

……

……

"Who did you say has arrived? The Xuanhuang Army?!"

Standing in front of the prefectural government building, Kuang Yinghao looked completely bewildered, wondering if he had misheard.

The gatekeeper wiped his sweat, panting, and said, "That's right, they're outside the city now. I reckon there are three or four hundred of them. The leader is a woman. She said she wants the prefect to come out and meet her. She doesn't look like someone to mess with..."

"Nonsense! Do you think the Xuanhuang Army is easy to deal with?!"

Kuang Yinghao came to his senses, a chill running down his spine.

Don't underestimate three or four hundred men; they are all elites who have crawled out of piles of corpses. If a real fight breaks out, the soldiers guarding Bailu City alone will be no match for them!

"One wave subsides only for another to rise. The imperial envoy has just arrived, and these scoundrels are already attacking again. If I had known, I would have preferred to build a temple on Ziyun Mountain!"

"They have clearly come about the barbarian matter; we must inform Lord Chen of this as soon as possible!"

Just as Kuang Yinghao turned to head towards the prison, he saw Chen Mo and Xu Lin walk out.

"Lord Chen, outside..."

"I already know. Let's go, let's go out and take a look."

Looking at Chen Mo's calm demeanor, Kuang Yinghao's emotions gradually calmed down, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes."

……

……

Egret City, South Gate.

A group of soldiers guarding the city gathered in front of the gate, their faces slightly pale and their expressions somewhat panicked.

On the open ground opposite them, that splash of blood was particularly striking.

Hundreds of soldiers, clad in dark red heavy armor, stood in neat formation, their helmets covering their faces and their weapons drawn, as still as stubborn rocks. In the center of the crowd, a military flag fluttered in the wind, embroidered with a golden phoenix spreading its wings on a black background.

The scene was silent, the air pressure was low, and the intense sense of oppression made it difficult to breathe.

At the very front of the army formation, a female officer rode a tall horse, her blood-red armor resembling a blazing flame. Her face was roughened by years of wind and sand, and a hideous scar stretched from the corner of her left eye to behind her ear.

"My patience is limited. I'll give you one last half an incense stick's time. If Jiao Yu still doesn't come out to see me, I'll lead my troops into the city directly." The female officer's voice was calm and clear, reaching everyone's ears.

The soldiers guarding the city were in an uproar.

The crowd then parted, and three figures rode forward on horseback.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the female officer narrowed her eyes and said, "I am Ye Linghan, a military officer of the Xuanhuang Army. I have come here on the orders of the Princess to handle matters concerning the barbarians. Who is Prefect Jiao Yu? Come out and speak."

Ye Linghan was in a very bad mood at this moment.

He was initially quite pleased with himself for ambushing a group of barbarian cavalrymen who were raiding the fortress, thinking it was a military achievement he had gained for free. However, after receiving a message from Chu Yanli, he learned the whole story and realized that he had probably been used as a pawn.

As the capital of Nan Tu Prefecture, Bailu City suffered the most severe damage in those years. The city was devastated, with blood flowing like rivers, and the tragic scenes are still vivid in people's minds.

After only a few years of peace, officials began to secretly collude with barbarian tribes...

It's rotten to the core!
If it weren't for the Princess repeatedly reminding her to restrain herself, she would have already led her men into the city to wipe out the prefecture!

Sensing the intense killing intent, Kuang Yinghao felt a chill run down his spine. He swallowed hard and mustered his courage to say, "I am Kuang Yinghao, the Prefect of the State. These two are Lord Chen, the Commander of the Tianlin Guard, and Lord Xu, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review... Currently, all affairs in Bailu City are under the management of these two gentlemen."

"Ok?"

Ye Linghan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Xu Lin assumed she was intimidated by his reputation, and with a slightly smug expression, he cleared his throat and said in an official tone, "Ahem, I understand your feelings, General Ye, but your large-scale siege of the city gate is really inappropriate..."

Ye Linghan didn't even glance at him. She dismounted and went straight to Chen Mo, cupping her hands in greeting, "Greetings, Lord Chen."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and asked, "You recognize me?"

"The Princess said that you are the most beautiful one, and all the other ugly ones don't need to be considered," Ye Linghan said seriously.

Xu Lin: "..."

Kuang Yinghao: "..."

"I have learned the whole story. If it weren't for Lord Chen's intervention, who knows how many more people would have died. Thank you for everything you have done for the people of Southern Xinjiang." Ye Linghan shouted, "All soldiers, heed my command, withdraw!"

wow-

Accompanied by the clanging of metal, the soldiers in the rear sheathed their weapons.

"Greetings!"

boom!
Hundreds of people stepped forward in unison, their right hands pounding their chests. A dazzling red light shone from their armor, converging into a torrent of blood. In the distance, one could faintly hear the long cry of a phoenix!

The shocking scene left everyone stunned in place.

The other party's attitude was completely different before and after!
?

Xu Lin looked completely bewildered.

It's one thing for Chen Mo to "stir up trouble" in the capital, after all, he has the Empress and the Imperial Concubine protecting him, but how come he also has such a big influence in the army?

He was, after all, a high-ranking official of the third rank, yet he was completely ignored, treated like air compared to this guy—he was practically a nobody on the street…

"General Ye, you're too kind." Chen Mo went straight to the point: "Was it the Princess who sent you to receive the barbarian slaves?"

“That’s right.” Ye Linghan nodded and said, “His Highness sent a message remotely through the Tiger Tally, saying that these barbarian slaves might have problems and that I should take them back to the camp for interrogation. He also specifically stated that if Lord Chen is still in the city, then everything will be arranged by him.”

Chen Mo understood.

It seems that Chu Yanli also realized something was wrong; the barbarians must have some ulterior motive.

“You can take them away, but there’s no need for interrogation, because they’ve already confessed,” Chen Mo said.

"Confessed? So quickly?" Ye Linghan asked, somewhat puzzled.

She had dealt with barbarians for many years. These guys were all incredibly tough, willing to give their lives for their beliefs without hesitation. It was extremely difficult to pry any information out of them.

"You can question my character, but you can't question my professionalism." Chen Mo tossed a recording stone over, "Ye Can will know once he looks at himself."

Ye Linghan reached out and took it, her mind completely absorbed in it.

A moment later, his face turned grim, and his eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent!
"These beasts!"
