“Whoosh…”
A flash of light, and the stone door swung open.
“Please, Great One, let us go! We have committed no crime. We are Demon Kings, appointed by Your Majesty himself! Release us!”
Before I even stepped inside, I could hear the hysterical screams coming from within.
“Tap tap tap…”
Fang Yu’s footsteps echoed within the cell.
Stepping into the cell, even in the dim light, Fang Yu could still see three figures.
They were hung on the wall, their limbs nailed to it with some dark long nails, blood still dripping from their bodies, and their breaths faint.
These three were the other three demon kings who participated in the siege of Lin Daochen back then.
Ancient Crystal Demon King, Earth Blaze Demon King, True Grace Demon King.

Extremely powerful and arrogant!
But now, it has fallen to such a tragic state.
If anyone were present, they would surely find it unbelievable.
And these three demon kings didn’t even know why they were brought in!
Fang Yu saw the three demon kings, and the three demon kings naturally also saw Fang Yu.
But they couldn’t see Fang Yu’s face.
“Great, Great Venerable, please spare us, we have committed no crime! No!”
“Let me out, I, I pledge my loyalty to Princess Nanyuan! Please inform Princess Nanyuan, she will definitely save me…”
“We didn’t do anything, why did you lock us in here…”
The three demon kings each spoke their own words, making a great noise.
“Shut up!”
Fang Yu coldly snorted.
At once, the three demon kings shuddered and fell silent.
“You were arrested because of your connection to Princess Nan Yuan!” Fang Yu said coldly. “Do you know that Princess Nan Yuan has colluded with external forces and has been wanted by His Majesty?! She is still on the run, and you dare mention Princess Nan Yuan?!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the three demon kings in front of him were deeply shaken, their souls nearly scattered!
They initially did not know what crime they had committed.
But now, when Fang Yu spoke, they realized… it was because of this matter!
They panicked completely!
Treachery with outside forces… This plot has actually been uncovered!
Even the Princess Liannan Yujian is wanted!
In the style of the ancient Demon Emperor, they will all die, and they will die a horrible death!
For a moment, the cell was deathly silent.
The three demon kings didn’t dare to breathe, their bodies trembling violently.
“Do you know how serious the charge of colluding with external forces is? How furious your Majesty is?” Fang Yu asked in a cold voice.
“I, we were forced, Princess Nan Yuan led us to seek refuge in the Holy Court, we… weren’t voluntary, really not voluntary…” The Fierce Demon King was terrified and cried out.
“I know you were brought to the Holy Court by Lady Nan Yuan…so, you still have a chance to survive,” Fang Yu said, “That is, cooperate with my investigation and answer all my questions truthfully.”
“The King of Ten Thousand Sorrows has already done so, and he’s still alive and well. As for you… figure it out.”
“I’ll answer! I’ll answer anything, just don’t execute me!” the three Demon Kings cried out urgently.
……
Half an hour later, Fang Yu walked out of the prison cell.
After being tricked, these three demon kings were completely scared and offered no further resistance.
However, the intel gleaned from them largely corroborated what the Wan Shang Demon King already knew.
But Fang Yu asked one more question.
That is… besides Princess Nanyuān, do they know of any other royal family member who is also connected to the Holy Academy?
And almost in unison, the three Demon Kings answered…Princess Lucent!
Because, during one encounter with the Southern Iris Princess, they were preparing to leave when the Luocheng Princess happened to arrive.
Even though they hadn’t gone far, and even if unintentionally, they could still clearly hear the words “Lord Protector” uttered from Princess Luchen’s lips.
If Ruolu Chen, the county princess, did not know about the existence of the Holy Academy, she would not have mentioned the name of Xunzun!
From then on, they finally came to a consensus… within the royal family, there were definitely more than just Princess Nanyu who cooperated with the external forces of the Holy Academy!
Thinking that quite a few members of the royal family were also involved, they weren’t as afraid anymore and felt more confident.
This is the important clue that Fang Yu obtained through this interrogation.
This name, Fang Yu had heard before.
It was the same Lu Chen princess who had been severely injured by Han Miao’yi when they last seized the celestial fire sacred beast egg!
The possibility of a name match is slim, it must be that Princess Luchen!
“Alright, Nan Yuan County Princess is hiding now, so I’ll go find Lu Chen County Princess… This time, I have to be low-key. Before I can control Lu Chen County Princess, I can’t reveal my intentions, or she might also hide.” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered, thinking to himself.
……
At this moment, in the Central Imperial Court.
Over a hundred demon kings were allowed to teleport over from their respective territories and… sped towards the residence of Princess Qino together!
Their expressions were cold, their eyes fierce, and even a murderous aura emanated from them.
This group of demon kings had only one goal for this trip… Fang Yu!
