Chapter 435: Assassination

"Why does everyone think that the Devil Lord has already fallen under a spell?"

Yun Xiu pursed her dry lips, feeling helpless while simultaneously unable to explain, because they seemed to have already accepted this reasoning.

Seeing his sister's struggle, Yun Ji softly consoled her, "This matter is of utmost importance to our clan. For now, we can only rely on you. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me."

Hearing her brother's considerate words, Sister Xiu'er, who was not good at refusing, felt even more guilty and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing Xiu'er consent, Yun Ji immediately promised, "Luring the Devil Lord is just a temporary measure. Once we take back control from Chaochang, you won't need to sacrifice yourself to the devil. Don't worry, little sister!"

Xiu'er managed a strained smile and bowed to Yun Ji, "Tang Luo... is currently in the house. I left under the pretense of buying groceries and cooking, but now I should go back."
