Within the Vast Sky Realm, a sprawling marketplace served as a crucial hub for material exchange within the Demon-Monster Alliance.
As on any other day, the marketplace teemed with a sea of people, with countless cultivators gathered to trade treasures.
Owing to the Demon race's superior strength and highest status within the Human-Monster Alliance, this marketplace attracted cultivators from all races except humans.
At this moment, many in the marketplace found themselves unable to resist scratching their bodies. The more they scratched, the itchier it became, and the more they scratched.
Only after many had torn their bodies apart did they begin to realize something was amiss.
By then, the poison had already spread throughout the vicinity of the marketplace, infecting a large number of people.
This was due to the insidious nature of the poison; various defensive methods could only slow its invasion, not completely block it.
As the toxicity spread within their bodies, many with insufficient cultivation found their flesh and bones beginning to dissolve.
These individuals did not possess as many clones as Xiao Fei to expend and could only die once. Death, for them, was absolute.
It was impossible for such a large quantity of poison to appear in the marketplace without reason; someone was undoubtedly orchestrating this behind the scenes.
This was the speculation of many regarding the poison, but now, afflicted by the strange toxin, they were powerless.
Just as the people in the marketplace were suffering agonizingly from the poison, a group of human cultivators, cloaked and masked, stormed into the marketplace.
"Oh no, humans are attacking!"
"Ahhh!"
This group of black-robed, masked humans charged into the marketplace, killing any demon they saw and hacking at any monster, instantly causing heads to roll.
Killing was not enough for the black-robed figures; they proceeded to loot and set fires.
In an instant, centered around this marketplace, the entire Vast Sky Realm descended into utter chaos.
Xiao Fei's preparations to rescue Huang Feifei had spanned many years, and it wasn't just for himself and two others.
His intelligence network had long infiltrated the Vast Sky Realm, with numerous True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals lying in wait, anticipating a moment of eruption.
...
The Demon Gods on Demon God Mountain heard that humans had the audacity to kill their way into their stronghold.
This was an outrage!
Immediately, two Demon Kings, leading a contingent of Demon Lords, descended the mountain, intending to suppress these presumptuous humans with swift and decisive action.
The moment these Demon God powerhouses mobilized, their potent auras radiated outwards, instilling fear throughout the entire Vast Sky Realm.
This instantly rekindled hope for survival among the demons and monsters who were being slaughtered and crying out in the Vast Sky Realm.
One black-robed, masked figure trembled at the knees, his hand holding a knife shaking uncontrollably.
Beneath his blade, a demon who had been scratching himself, already resigned to death, felt the powerful pressure unique to the Demon Kings and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha...卑鄙的人族, quickly drop your weapons and beg for mercy!"
"Any slower, and you'll be mashed into a pulp by the Demon King!"
"Hahaha..."
At this very moment, the knife in the black-robed figure's hand fell instantly. With a "crack," the demon's head was severed!
"Sorry, I'm also very itchy, and my hands and feet are a bit uncontrollable."
As these Demon Kings and Demon Lords were basking in the satisfaction of their dramatic entrance, two demons flew towards them in a panic.
"Demon Kings, bad news! Terrible news!"
"The Human-Monster Alliance has been routed, all annihilated by the humans! We've come to seek help!"
The two Demon Kings were taken aback. How could the Demon-Monster Alliance have been defeated so quickly, without any prior warning?
While they were momentarily stunned, the auras within these two demons suddenly became incredibly violent.
"Boom! Boom!"
With two loud explosions, these two demons self-destructed completely.
"What does this mean?"
"We didn't intend to do anything to you!"
The Demon God powerhouses who had rushed to reinforce the Vast Sky Realm were overwhelmed by the barrage of information and were somewhat bewildered!
"No good! It's poisoned!"
Finally, a Demon God, after scratching his face, reacted.
However, it was too late to react now. When the two demons self-destructed, they had already spread the poison they carried around them.
The Demon Gods who had just emerged were all afflicted at once.
Now that the two demons were dead from self-destruction, they had no one to exact revenge upon.
These Demon Gods could only continue scratching themselves as they rushed towards the battlefield in the Vast Sky Realm, determined to make an example of the active black-robed figures.
"This poison feels a bit familiar!"
"You think this poison might be our Demon race's 'Fairy's Undressing' poison?"
One Demon King seemed to recall some past events and casually remarked.
Once, their Demon God race had produced a great lecher. This individual possessed exceptional talent but was inherently lewd and somewhat undisciplined.
He dedicated his entire life to cultivating a type of aphrodisiac.
However, perhaps due to his excessive talent and overexertion, the poison he cultivated not only caused fairies to undress but could also melt and strip away flesh and bone.
This poison was unsuitable for luring fairies, but it turned out to be useful for other purposes.
He then spent many more years continuously seeking other poisonous plants to cultivate together, eventually creating a poison that caused death by itching.
However, he still named the poison "Fairy's Undressing."
This poison was preserved in only a few locations on Demon God Mountain.
Especially in areas guarding the demon veins of Demon God Mountain, this "Fairy's Undressing" was cultivated in abundance.
"No good! The Dragon Vein!"
The two demons suddenly realized that humans might have discovered the location of the demon veins.
"Let's go, hurry!"
"Don't worry about this place for now!"
The two Demon Kings immediately turned and prepared to fly towards the demon veins.
Whether the demons and monsters in the Vast Sky Realm died or not was secondary; the demon veins beneath Demon God Mountain were far more important. The demon veins were the foundation of the entire Demon race.
If the demon veins were damaged, it would affect the future of the entire Demon God race, and they could not afford to be careless.
As the two Demon Kings flew towards the demon veins, they did not forget to summon other Demon Kings from Demon God Mountain.
Upon receiving the news, two more demons swiftly flew out from their respective residences.
At that very moment, Demon God Mountain suddenly trembled, and a vast surge of demonic energy erupted into the sky.
"Everyone, hurry! It's true that someone is tampering with our demon veins!"
This tremor of the demon veins alerted the entire Vast Sky Realm.
The powerhouses on Demon God Mountain could no longer sit idly by; they all rose from their residences and flew towards the location of the demon veins.
Xiao Fei and the other two were hidden on Demon God Mountain, observing the movements of these powerhouses and searching for an opportune moment to strike.
Initially, only two Demon Kings had emerged, which disappointed Shi Xue. However, seeing the two subsequent Demon Kings poisoned finally gave her a sliver of confidence.
Until the massive tremor at the foot of Demon God Mountain, coupled with the poisoning of the demons in the city, she suddenly realized what Xiao Fei had done.
"You... you destroyed the demon veins at the foot of Demon God Mountain?"
Shi Xue's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
"It's not entirely destroyed; I just cut off a portion from the top."
