Uncle He also noticed the Nine-Headed Golden Lion King and Zhou Yan above immediately. He was shocked, never expecting their target to have been tamed by someone else in advance.
"It's actually a human!" Uncle He said, blocking their path as Zhou Yan approached.
The demon powerhouses surrounding the pink war chariot also stepped forward, watching Zhou Yan warily.
Princess Huoling emerged from the pink war chariot, gazing at Zhou Yan with curiosity, seemingly wondering how the Nine-Headed Golden Lion King had become someone else's mount so quickly.
"Princess, it would be safer for you to return to the war chariot," said a demon guard.
"With you all here, you can't protect your princess?" Princess Huoling retorted fearlessly.
"That's not it, it's just that we don't know the other party's intentions, so it's best to be cautious," the demon guard replied.
"Princess, stay in the war chariot and do not leave. If the situation turns bad, you three will escort the princess away first."
Uncle He gave his instructions. Anyone who could tame the Nine-Headed Golden Lion King was no weakling, and he had to be careful.
"This guy is just a human. He must have used some trick to make the Nine-Headed Golden Lion King submit. I'm not afraid of him."
Princess Huoling feared nothing, as her father would always resolve any problems for her.
"Caution is still the best approach." After giving his instructions, Uncle He stepped forward, blocking Zhou Yan, and asked, "Who are you, and what is your purpose here?"
Although Zhou Yan knew Princess Huoling wanted to tame the Nine-Headed Golden Lion King, he hadn't expected to encounter her here. He replied, "I'm looking for your Princess Huoling."
"Our princess doesn't seem to know you. What business do you have with Princess Huoling?"
Uncle He eyed Zhou Yan, unsure of his intentions.
"I'm returning something entrusted to me by someone." Zhou Yan then produced the Huoling Sacred Robe.
"It's my Huoling Sacred Robe!" Princess Huoling, who was on the war chariot, exclaimed.
"Huoling Sacred Robe!" Uncle He was also greatly surprised, his expression quickly darkening. "Boy, are you working with that scoundrel Qian Shun!"
"Uncle He, get my Huoling Sacred Robe back! And you all, capture this guy!"
Upon seeing the Huoling Sacred Robe, Princess Huoling immediately recalled that detestable old scoundrel Qian Shun, who not only swindled her Pseudo-Artifact but also called her a naive fool!
Thinking of this, Princess Huoling was filled with rage, wishing she could flay Qian Shun alive.
"I didn't come here to fight. I can return the item to you, but can we sit down and talk?" Zhou Yan tossed the Huoling Sacred Robe towards Princess Huoling.
Princess Huoling retrieved her Pseudo-Artifact and then angrily commanded, "Attack!"
"As expected of a spoiled and willful princess!" Zhou Yan remarked.
"You dare insult me! I'll make you pay! Attack!" Princess Huoling unleashed her spoiled temper.
A demon powerhouse immediately attacked, unleashing a powerful surge of demon energy. His realm was at the Ninety-Sixth Heaven, making him quite formidable.
With his attack, demonic energy surged, transforming into a powerful demon beast that lunged to devour Zhou Yan.
"I already said I didn't come to fight, but you won't listen. Then I'll fight until you listen." Zhou Yan covered the sky with one hand, forming a terrifying Yin-Yang Grand Seal.
"Crack!"
The demon beast was crushed by Zhou Yan's hand, and he then grabbed the demon powerhouse himself.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The demon powerhouse launched continuous attacks, trying to escape Zhou Yan's grasp, but how could ordinary people break free from Zhou Yan's techniques?
A Yin-Yang formation pattern was injected into the demon powerhouse, sealing all his demon energy. He was rendered powerless.
Zhou Yan released his grip, and the demon, stripped of all his demon power, fell from the sky.
"Boom!" The demon hit the ground, but he was not dead. Demon bodies were very resilient; even without demon power, the fall from that height wouldn't kill him.
"So strong!"
"How could this be? Tian Lang was defeated by him in one move. He's clearly not a demigod, how is this possible!"
It all happened so fast. Zhou Yan had sealed one of their powerhouses with a single move, leaving the other demon powerhouses stunned.
"Can we talk properly now!" Zhou Yan asked them.
"You attacked my people and still want to talk? Don't even think about it!" Princess Huoling declared aggressively.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan developed a dislike for such a thoroughly spoiled princess, saying, "As expected of an unreasonable woman!"
"Uncle He, suppress him! I want to use the Ten Great Tortures of the Demon Race on him, and make him experience pain in the Fiery Sea of the Demon Realm!" Princess Huoling continued.
Hearing Princess Huoling's words, Zhou Yan became even more enraged. He shouted, "Do you believe I'll hang you up and beat you!"
Princess Huoling was amused, thinking who in this world dared to hang her up and beat her.
"If you have the guts, come and do it! I'm afraid you don't have the ability!" Princess Huoling provocatively challenged Zhou Yan, as if to say, 'What can you do to me?'
"Although you returned the Huoling Sacred Robe, you are in league with that Qian Shun. I must capture you and hand you over to the Fire Saint Demon King for judgment. Don't worry, I will spare your life."
Uncle He had initially been reluctant to act, but Zhou Yan had already attacked his people. Moreover, Zhou Yan being in league with Qian Shun meant this matter could not be let go.
"If you want to capture me, you'll have to show me you have the ability." Zhou Yan had no interest in Princess Huoling and even felt he shouldn't have returned the Huoling Sacred Robe to her.
"Such an arrogant human! This is the Demon Realm, not your territory. Do you think you can still leave the demon world!" Princess Huoling said dismissively.
"I've decided to snatch the Huoling Sacred Robe back. If you have the ability, come find trouble with me later."
Zhou Yan had changed his mind. There was no need to reason with such a woman; he would meet unreasonable with unreasonable.
As for her father, Zhou Yan had nothing to fear. He could handle him himself, let alone the numerous demigod-level powerhouses in his territory.
"Uncle He, look at this guy! He's so audacious, he even dares to snatch my things!" Princess Huoling exclaimed angrily.
"Human, you've gone too far, daring to be so presumptuous towards Princess Huoling!"
"You little brat, you're asking for death, daring to be so rude to the princess!"
Zhou Yan scoffed, "She's just the princess of some demon king in your demon realm. In the myriad realms, there are countless princesses like her. What's there to be arrogant about."
"A woman who is so unreasonable, spoiled, and ill-mannered, I not only dare to snatch her things, I dare to strip her naked, do you believe it!"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, even the good-tempered Uncle He was greatly angered. "You are too presumptuous!"
"To slander the princess like this, you're seeking death!"
"Deserving of a thousand deaths!"
Princess Huoling was so enraged she gritted her teeth, her small fangs exposed, her pretty face flushed red. She shouted, "Attack!"
