Chapter 100: A Different Art Style
"did you find it?"
Hearing the new Demon Lord's cold, emotionless question, Cang Yan felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly replied, "I'm sorry, Demon Lord, we haven't found it yet. Please wait a little longer..."
"Then how long do I have to wait?"
Lin Ji now wished he could tear that old bastard to pieces immediately! It was that guy who destroyed his communication stone, making it impossible for him to contact Su Luo anymore!
Cang Yan said, "This...this...the Demon Realm is vast, with many places to hide. I cannot determine the exact time at the moment..."
The next moment, the oppressive aura emanating from the boy poured out, the terrifying pressure making Cang Yan unable to breathe. The other demons around him were also suppressed, their faces turning pale, their bodies swaying precariously, and some of the demons with lower cultivation even vomited blood and fainted.
The new king was clearly furious!
But no one dared to speak up, fearing that they would lose their lives at any moment.
"Can't be sure? They've been gone for two hours already, aren't you afraid they'll use that secret formation to escape?"
Lin Ji stared intently at the group of people kneeling below, his eyes filled with terrifying killing intent. "Cang Yan, if we really let them escape, then these guys below won't have to live."
When Lu Chuan was seriously injured, these various forces suddenly appeared, hindering his progress and causing the old man to escape with his son and a few of his men. These people deserve to die!
The kneeling group felt their hair stand on end, realizing that the new king was even more terrifying than the previous demon lord, and they immediately begged for mercy.
"Demon Lord, spare us! We are willing to atone for our sins and will surely find those criminals! Please give us a chance!"
They didn't do it on purpose!
Although they knew the Right Protector had always coveted the Demon Lord's position, they never imagined he would dare to lead troops to besiege the current Demon Lord on his own! Who knew that when they rushed over, they would happen to get in the Demon Lord's way, allowing that old man to escape with his men! They were extremely unlucky!
"Atone for your sins? With what ability do you think you can?"
Lin Ji scoffed, saying sarcastically, "So many years have passed, and not a single person in this vast Demon Realm has reached the Nascent Soul stage. All you do is laze around and wait to die, even letting that old man Lu Chuan ride roughshod over you, and you almost succeeded in rebellion. Most of you are hundreds of years old, right? How can you all be so incompetent? What use are such incompetent people to me?!"
This insult was like a resounding slap across the faces of all the demons. They felt a burning pain on their faces and knelt down, begging for mercy.
"Demon Lord, please forgive us! Demon Lord, please forgive us! Please give us another chance! We will definitely repent and start anew!"
Then, they quickly looked up at Cang Yan with pleading eyes, hoping that Cang Yan would put in a good word for them.
Although Cang Yan looked down on these demons, he still tried to persuade them in order to maintain peace in the demon realm.
"Demon Lord, please rest assured! Right Protector and Lu Chuan have been seriously injured by you, and their cultivation has regressed significantly. Even if they want to activate the secret formation to escape, they will need to heal their injuries and restore their cultivation first."
That secret array could only be opened by a demon with a late-stage Golden Core cultivation level, and even if one could open it, passing through it unharmed would not be easy. Cang Yan knew Right Protector Lu Chuan well; he had lived so long and valued his life above all else, and would never open the secret array without absolute certainty!
"Furthermore, all entrances and exits to the entire Demon Realm are now sealed off, preventing any demon from leaving! The demons I've dispatched are not only mostly highly skilled but also adept at tracking, so they'll surely find those rebels quickly!"
After hearing Cang Yan's explanation, Lin Ji withdrew his oppressive aura. "Then I'll wait a little longer."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and tried to contact the Spiritwing Bird again.
Since entering the Demon Realm, he has been unable to contact the Spirit Winged Bird, and he has no idea how Su Luo is doing...
Meanwhile, the Spirit Winged Bird that Lin Ji was thinking about was cowering under a big tree. It looked up at the sky, its eyes filled with human-like confusion and despair.
How could it be so sudden?
It actually lost track of Su Luo! If its master found out, he'd probably pluck its feathers and roast it! No way!!!
Deep in despair, the spirit-winged bird cried out silently in its heart, completely forgetting that its owner had not yet contacted it...
As the first rays of sunlight stream into the misty valley, the thick fog quietly dissipates, revealing towering, verdant trees. Their leaves are laden with glistening dewdrops, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.
"The fog has completely dissipated! That's great!"
Chu Wenqing was the first to run out of the cave, then stretched and exclaimed, "This place is really nice!"
Feng Xiyue said, "Yesterday we did nothing and fell behind the others, so today we need to speed up and try to find something useful."
Su Luo smiled and said, "Of course."
Although coming to the Cloud Realm did not align with her original intention, now that she was here, she couldn't possibly leave empty-handed!
Song Qiao nodded in agreement.
The four then set off, quickening their pace as they moved forward. Before long, they heard the roar of a monster and the screams of people.
Before they could figure out what was going on, two cultivators darted out of the woods ahead and fled in a panic in one direction, followed by a three-horned beast with bloodshot eyes that relentlessly pursued them.
Chu Wenqing exclaimed, "Holy crap! Triangular Horse Beast!"
The triceratops are usually docile, but when provoked, they gore their prey with their three horns. Most terrifyingly, these beasts always appear in large groups!
Sure enough, a large herd of triangular horse beasts emerged from the forest the next moment, all chasing after the two cultivators.
The two cultivators ran while wielding their spirit swords, but they were no match for the horse and only angered the triangular horse further. They could only flee for their lives while shouting for help.
When they saw Su Luo and the others, their faces lit up with unprecedented excitement. "Fellow Daoists! Help! Save us!"
Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue immediately looked at Su Luo and asked, "Should we save her?"
Su Luo squinted and observed her surroundings, then said, "Let's take another look."
The timing of these two cultivators' appearance was too coincidental; it's best to be cautious lest it be a trap. Besides, the triceps are usually gentle, so why would they suddenly attack them? There's definitely something fishy going on!
The two nodded immediately, without hesitation, "Okay."
Song Qiao: ...
They agreed without even asking why! Senior Brother Chu is one thing, but why would Senior Sister listen to Su Luo like that?
The two cultivators called out to Su Luo and the others for a long time without getting a response. Frustrated, they simply ran towards them, causing the triangular horse behind them to gallop over as well.
"Help us! We need your help!"
Chu Wenqing was furious. "Damn it! They actually attracted the triceps here! How shameless!"
Feng Xiyue's eyebrows furrowed tightly. "This is forcing us to help!"
Song Qiao's eyes also turned cold.
Su Luo found a tree to lean against and then reassured them, "What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten what I just gave you?"
The three of them then remembered and stopped talking, each following Su Luo's example to find a tree to lean against.
The two monks had assumed that by luring the triangular horse over, the four people would panic or curse at them, and they would have no choice but to help them deal with the triangular horse.
Even as they were almost upon the four people, they remained motionless, as if in deep meditation, simply leaning against the tree and coldly staring at them.
Two monks: ?
Are they stupid? They're not moving an inch, and they're not even trying to run. Do they really want to die?
Since it was their fault after all, the two cultivators couldn't help but shout, "If you're not going to help, then run!"
After saying that, seeing that Su Luo and the others were still not moving, the two cultivators stopped caring and sped up, running over like the wind.
Although it was indeed them who lured the horned horses here, these people were courting death and refused to leave, so they can't be blamed!
The horns behind me roared, their blood-red eyes blazing, as they charged forward. Their three horns were hard and long; if one were to be gored by them, one would likely be severely injured, if not killed.
During their escape, the two cultivators glanced back instinctively and their eyes widened instantly.
The four people were still standing there unharmed, while the crazed horned horses didn't even glance at them. They even deliberately avoided the trees as they ran, focusing solely on chasing them!
Two monks: ?
Why are the art styles on both sides different?!
