Chapter 24

"Nothing's happening, has the person left already?"

Hidden in the bushes, Zhou Yuan frowned as he looked at the extremely quiet mansion.

He and Liu Chang had been waiting here for nearly three hours, but had discovered nothing, not even a sound. Could it be that the "teacher" who taught Liu Yi the demonic arts had already left quietly?

"Let's wait a bit longer. If we really can't wait, we'll sneak in to take a look!"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Chang said.

With a look of helplessness, Zhou Yuan was about to continue speaking to ease his weary spirit when his pupils suddenly constricted: "Look quickly, something seems to be coming out..."

Liu Chang hurriedly looked over and indeed saw a head slowly emerging from the sewer connected to the cesspool. By its size and appearance, it was a child of about ten years old, with a dark complexion and a foul smell emanating from his body.

Struggling to crawl out, the child's face showed excitement as he turned to look at the courtyard, his teeth clenched, and his voice cold and sinister: "I, Jile, swear to kill you all, and all the people of Zhenxian Sect, every last one of you!"

As he spoke, demonic energy uncontrollably emanated from his body, as if to reinforce his words.

"It's a demon cultivator!"

Liu Chang and Zhou Yuan were both startled.

In this courtyard, there was actually a real demon cultivator, and he was saying he would kill all the people of Zhenxian Sect...

How terrifying!

"What should we do?"

Zhou Yuan's body trembled slightly.

"A demon cultivator of such power, we are definitely no match for him. Let's quietly return to the sect and report to the Elder Hall as soon as possible!"

Liu Chang whispered.

"There's no other choice..."

Zhou Yuan nodded.

They were only disciples at the Gathering Breath stage, and facing a demon cultivator with such a terrifying aura, they definitely couldn't fight back. They could only report it as soon as possible and let the higher-ups of the sect handle it.

Holding their breath, the two slowly retreated. After a short while, they left the mansion's premises, and seeing that they hadn't attracted the demon cultivator's attention, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go quickly!"

They hurriedly ran back.

Liu Yi colluding with a powerful demon, and the demon planning to destroy Zhenxian Sect... either of these things was shocking and beyond their ability to handle.

...

"Fortunately, he left..."

The child at the mansion's gate swayed, unable to hold on any longer, and fell directly to the ground.

This was none other than the Great Demon Jile, who had managed to escape by any means possible.

His injuries were too severe, and his internal energy was completely drained. The techniques like "Stealth" and "Transformation" could not be used, so he had no choice but to crawl out through the sewer.

He hadn't expected that as soon as he left, he would sense two auras hiding nearby.

The other party had used a talisman to conceal their aura, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect, but he was a top-tier figure who had once dominated the world. Even now, with his severe injuries, he still had a strong sense of vigilance.

He deliberately said some threatening words and released some demonic energy...

Sure enough, these two mere Gathering Breath stage cultivators were directly scared away...

"Swallowing poison, and absorbing some holy essence from the sewer, allowed me to move temporarily, but... to escape far away is still impossible!"

The two fleeing did not mean he was safe.

His injuries were too severe, and he was poisoned. He wouldn't die in the short term, but he had lost all his combat ability. If a powerful cultivator, even just at the Divine Palace stage, came, he would only be killed.

He couldn't escape, and if he returned, he would surely be tortured to death by the three-headed creature... What should he do?

"Finally back..."

Just as he was full of confusion and didn't know what to do, a faint voice sounded from not far away.

He quickly turned his head and saw the owner of the three beasts, walking step by step, with the donkey that made him shudder following not far behind.

"There's no escape..."

His vision went dark, and the Great Demon's face twitched.

His current state was all due to this donkey. He wanted to escape, but was blocked again, and would surely be beaten up again. The hope of survival had become a luxury...

"Hmm? No, that's not right!"

Just as he was full of despair, a thought suddenly popped up: "This young man has no real strength. If I can somehow take him hostage, the three-headed beast might not dare to harm me, and might even listen to my commands..."

He had specifically tested this young man before, who was just an ordinary person...

As long as he took the other party hostage, he might be able to change the current situation.

"That's what I'll do!"

Knowing there was no other way, he lightly swayed, closed his eyes, and lay on the ground.

With no strength left in his body, he couldn't use the demonic art "Transformation." The only thing he could do was to "play dead" and let the young man come to investigate. Once the other party got close, he would have a 100% chance of controlling him, even if the donkey was not far away, it wouldn't react in time!

"What's this person doing lying here?"

Just as he was ready, the young man's surprised voice sounded, and his footsteps gradually approached.

After leaving the mall, Su Yin rode the donkey back, and finally saw the mansion before it got dark. He dismounted and was about to walk in when he saw a child lying at the gate.

Jile's true form was only about eleven or twelve years old, and he was only about 1.4 meters tall. From his appearance alone, it was hard to associate him with a great demon, and he would only be mistaken for a lost child from some family.

"He's here..."

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, the Great Demon was full of excitement, ready to pounce and grab the other party. But the young man's voice sounded again.

"This place is so remote, and someone is lying here... It's a bit strange. Big Black, go kick him a few times! If he can move, it means he's a liar!"

"???"

The Great Demon's body stiffened.

This script is wrong...

As an ordinary person, shouldn't you quickly come to help and treat the child lying on the ground?

Sending a donkey to kick him, what does that mean?

I may not be human, but you are really a dog!

If he can move, it means he's a liar... Should I move or not?

This is too much...

Just as he was full of confusion, wondering whether to get up and explain, he saw the donkey excitedly jump over, making sounds as it charged.

"Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!"

Bang!

Before he could speak, the huge donkey hoof came down again.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

His skeleton and body, which had just recovered a little, were once again trampled to pieces. The Great Demon stiffened on the spot, and tears could no longer be held back.

What the hell is this place, and what kind of people are these? Can't I be afraid?
