The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"A monster!"

Ye Hongxia was shocked as she looked at the giant octopus that had taken up residence in the Tibetan Leaf Court.

How could there be a monster in the city, especially one of such a large size? How could it have gone unnoticed? The key question is, how did this behemoth end up in Zangye Court?

"Space equipment!"

Immediately afterwards, Ye Hongxia thought of a possibility, and it was the only possibility.

The fact that the monster could stay in some spatial equipment for a short time means that someone must have used spatial equipment to bring this monster here.

"Lu Yuan!"

Thinking of this, Ye Hongxia let out a loud shout and glared angrily at Lu Yuan.

Besides Lu Yuan, who else would be so foolish as to throw such a monster into the Hidden Leaf Courtyard?

He even said he was just passing by, what a bastard.

"Yes, Patriarch Hongye, what are your orders?"

Lu Yuan remained nonchalant, even pointing to the giant octopus that was currently wreaking havoc in Cangyeting.

"Would you like my help to subdue this wicked beast?"

"Subdue? Help? Hmph."

He really pulled off that "the thief cries 'stop thief'" trick, Ye Hongxia snorted coldly.

"No need, our Ye family will handle it ourselves!"

Ye Hongxia emphasized the last two words, "disposal," and a hint of smugness suddenly appeared in her gaze as she looked at Lu Yuan.

Such a massive monster is not only a lord-level creature, but its level must also be very high.

If this demonic beast were killed, Lu Yuan would probably feel very distressed. Since Lu Yuan said he had nothing to do with this demonic beast, he naturally couldn't stop the Ye family from killing it.

As the saying goes, cleverness can backfire, and she ended up shooting herself in the foot. The thought of making Lu Yuan suffer in silence made Ye Hongxia feel a surge of satisfaction.

"Please go ahead. Oh, and by the way, if you need any help, just let me know. Don't hesitate to ask."

Lu Yuan remained calm, showing no concern whatsoever, and even made a gesture of invitation.

"superior!"

Ye Hongxia stopped arguing with Lu Yuan and, with a loud shout, led her men to charge forward.

The monsters are wreaking havoc; every second that passes will increase the Ye family's losses.

"You bastard's son, you beast! Stop being so arrogant!"

With a few leaps, she rushed to the monster. Ye Hongxia let out a loud shout and slashed at it with her sword.

But the next moment, Ye Hongxia's eyes widened, and with a twist of her wrist, she abruptly changed her sword path.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a huge sword aura grazed past the giant octopus, splitting a nearby house in two.

"You bastard! What are you doing?!"

Standing with her sword in hand, Ye Hongxia glared angrily at the younger generation of the Ye family in front of her and shouted a rebuke.

If he hadn't suddenly rushed up, Ye Hongxia wouldn't have needed to change her sword path so abruptly; she probably would have already cleaved the monster in two with that single strike.

Faced with Ye Hongxia's reprimand, the younger member of the Ye family did not offer any explanation, nor did his expression change; he simply stood there blankly.

"Um?"

Ye Hongxia frowned instantly; something seemed amiss.

Normally, the younger generation of the Ye family would cower in fear before him, including his direct descendants. After being reprimanded like that, they should have been terrified out of their wits and begging for mercy on their knees.

This junior didn't react at all; something's definitely wrong.

Ye Hongxia hesitated for a moment, then raised her long sword at the junior and slashed at him.

Swish~!

The sword light grazed the junior's cheek, shaving off a strand of his hair, but the junior stood still the whole time.

"Unconscious?"

No matter how bold he was, he couldn't suppress his body's instincts. Even if he could stand still, he would at least blink, but he didn't react at all.

There's only one explanation: this junior has lost consciousness.

"What's going on?!"

Ye Hongxia was about to bypass the junior and attack the monster from another angle, but then she realized that the monster was surrounded by Ye family members who, like the junior, had lost consciousness.

If anyone tries to attack the monster, these people will rush out to stop them or block them with their bodies.

To avoid accidentally harming their own kind, Ye Honglan and the other experts, like Ye Hongxia, had to temporarily stop their attacks.

"hateful!"

These members of the Ye family are clearly acting as human shields for the demonic beasts.

There's only one possibility why they would protect this monster: they've been controlled by it.

Realizing this, Ye Hongxia became even angrier.

He then looked at the monster that was still wreaking havoc, his expression extremely serious.

Fearing the consequences, the Ye family, despite having many experts, dared not make a move.

"Master!"

Soon, the others, facing the same situation, had to temporarily stop and gather around Ye Hongxia.

"Those tribesmen seem to be controlled by demonic beasts, and we can't help them."

"I already know."

Ye Hongxia didn't say much, but asked a question directly.

"Does anyone know the details of this monster, or if there is a way to defeat it?"

"this……"

Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Forget about methods to break mind control, they didn't even know the name of the monster in front of them or where it came from.

It looks like a large octopus, but you should know that Chongming Base City is not located by the sea.

Moreover, with eyes all over its head, it didn't seem like an ordinary monster.

Coupled with the bizarre ability of mind manipulation, it feels like a strange beast!

However, these things are not important now; what matters is how to solve him.

"Since those clansmen are under control, let's knock them out, capture them, and clean them up. Then we can attack that monster."

A moment later, an old man offered a solution.

"no."

But then, a woman shook her head.

"That's what I was thinking of doing, but that monster is very cunning. Once it realizes I'm trying to capture someone, it manipulates that person to resist desperately. If they can't resist, it manipulates them to commit suicide."

"this……"

Everyone stared in astonishment, then their brows furrowed.

Unexpectedly, this monster was so cunning and ferocious.

Yes, most of those who are controlled are of average strength, so capturing them alive is not difficult, but just as easily, they can also commit suicide.

"Since that's the case, let's ignore those people. As long as we kill that monster, the control will naturally be lifted!"

After a moment's thought, Ye Hongxia spoke in a deep voice.

Right now, he was filled with rage. As long as he could kill this monster and teach Lu Yuan a lesson, he would not hesitate to lose a few of his clansmen!

"This might not be a good idea."

Just then, someone else spoke up.

"Master, among those who are being controlled, several are your grandsons, and one is your youngest son."

"..."

Ye Hongxia, who had just been so resolute, fell silent upon hearing these words.

"Well, the demon beasts are cunning; I'm afraid it's not as simple as just sacrificing a few clansmen."

At this moment, someone else spoke up.

"I'm worried that once the demon beast discovers we're going to abandon a few of our clansmen as a breakthrough point, it will control the rest of our clansmen to commit suicide together!"

"That's right! It's possible!"

"Given that monster's cunning, it's not just possible, it's certain it will do it!"

The others nodded in agreement, their faces full of confidence.

"In that case, I take back what I just said!"

Ye Hongxia frowned and gave a mocking hum.

"hateful!"

Then he looked at the monster again, then turned to look in Lu Yuan's direction, his angry eyes bloodshot.

If that's the case, is there really no way to resolve it?
