Chapter 98
“I’m going to kill the demons from Centipede Ridge!”
“What?!” X2
Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun’s eyes widened instantly upon hearing this.
Was Senior Brother Cheng really going to kill the demons from Centipede Ridge?
It wasn’t that Li Muyang doubted Senior Brother Cheng’s strength. After all, Elder Yan favored him, which meant he was quite capable.
It was said that he was close to reaching the Golden Core stage, making him one of the outstanding figures in the Inner Sect.
But his plan to kill the demons of Centipede Ridge… it seemed somewhat ludicrous.
The distinguished guest from Centipede Ridge who had been invited here must be powerful, at the very least not someone a Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivator could provoke.Clearly seeing the astonishment in Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun’s eyes, the young man snorted coldly and said,
“I’m not foolish enough to provoke the most powerful demon, but there’s more than one demon from Centipede Ridge this time, and many of them are weak.”
“These demons have been spoiled by Wu Tian. They pretend to have lost their pets, but in reality, they deliberately let their vicious dog harm people in the city and kill our Demon Refining Sect’s outer disciples.”
“They think they can evade the laws and rules of the Demonic Sect this way, but I, Cheng Feiyang, want to tell them that the rules of the Demonic Sect cannot be broken! Our disciples are not to be killed at their whim.”
“Starting today, for every life of our Demonic Sect disciples taken by their vicious dog, I will kill one demon.”
“I’ll keep killing until they dare not let their dogs harm people anymore!”
Cheng Feiyang walked into the night with a cold look in his eyes.
Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun exchanged glances, somewhat skeptical.
It seemed that Senior Brother Cheng’s approach was a bit extreme… Wouldn’t the demons cause more trouble if he killed them so openly?
Li Muyang voiced his concern.
But the young man just sneered and said, “According to the rules, demons are not allowed to enter Demon Sword City. This time, we made an exception and allowed these demons to come to the city to help due to an emergency. However, an agreement was made that they can only stay in the courtyards arranged by the Demonic Sect and are not allowed to go out.”
“As long as they step out of the courtyard on their own, anyone is allowed to kill them on sight!”
“It’s indeed not right for me to go to their doorsteps to kill them, but if they come out seeking death on their own, then they deserve what they get! No one can find fault with that!”
With his plan well thought out, Li Muyang was learning for the first time about such rules in Demon Sword City.
–Demons are not allowed in Demon Sword City? Why?
Li Muyang was puzzled.
He and Guan Xiaoshun followed Senior Brother Cheng to a quiet part of the city.
The courtyard walls here were tall and imposing, and the courtyards were serene, an area where the big shots of Demon Sword City resided.
The lord of Demon Sword City, as well as the direct and inner disciples of the Demon Refining Sect who came to Demon Sword City, almost all lived here.
Naturally, the demons from Centipede Ridge were also arranged to stay here, with living conditions far superior to those of Li Muyang and the other outer disciples.
Cheng Feiyang led Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun to a corner and lit a strange vermilion-colored incense.
When the vermilion incense burned, the smoke that wafted out was not white but an eerie vermilion.
This vermilion smoke spread through the air, faintly emitting a light fragrance.
Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun were still curious when suddenly a sneaky shadow appeared at the other end of the alley.
It looked like a little girl.
She was cautiously peering out from the darkness.
Seeing Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun guarding the vermilion incense, the little girl’s face showed a delighted smile.
“Dragon Saliva Fragrance… such a nourishing treat!”
The fair and tender little girl also saw Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun in the alley and immediately drooled.
“And two living people! They’re outer disciples of the Demonic Sect!”
“Human cultivator flesh dipped in Dragon Saliva Fragrance… slurp…”
The little girl’s saliva flowed freely, her expression becoming extremely excited, her rosy little mouth splitting wider and wider until it became the mouth of a giant snake.
Li Muyang, witnessing this scene, was startled.
“Holy shit…”
He instinctively grabbed Guan Xiaoshun, ready to take him and run. But suddenly, a flash of cold light streaked behind the little girl.
The next second, the excited demon froze.
Its head, which had transformed into that of a giant snake, slid neatly off its neck and rolled onto the ground with a thud.
Cheng Feiyang’s grim face emerged from the shadows.
“…These demons really think they can treat the cultivators of the Demonic Sect as blood food for the taking and wanting to eat people on sight.”
The little girl’s murderous intent towards Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun had clearly angered Senior Brother Cheng.
Guan Xiaoshun, however, clutched Li Muyang’s wrist in horror and murmured,
“Demons… so this is what demons look like…”
One second she was a cute little girl, and the next, she transformed into a monstrous creature.
The shock was too great for the simple boy from the border town.
Li Muyang, however, looked at Senior Brother Cheng in the shadows with newfound respect.
Even though the snake demon wasn’t weak, he killed it in one strike so effortlessly.
The flying sword that Senior Brother Cheng nurtured was no ordinary weapon.
Having previously seen him easily defeated by the ghost of the Red Flame Rat King, Li Muyang had underestimated his strength…
Li Muyang and Guan Xiaoshun followed Senior Brother Cheng’s instructions and dealt with the snake demon’s body.
To deal with it didn’t mean to destroy the evidence.
Instead, they were told to hang the snake demon’s body on the wall, in the most conspicuous place on the street.
This was almost an overt provocation and warning.
To take such a step, it was likely not just Senior Brother Cheng acting on his own. Elder Yan might have tacitly permitted it.
The demons of Centipede Ridge, who were supposed to be allies, had deliberately allowed their dog to attack the cultivators of the Demonic Sect, which was indeed inconsiderate.
It made sense for the big shots of the Demonic Sect to issue a warning.
But for some reason, after dealing with the body, Li Muyang, looking at the snake demon’s corpse, had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
Logically, after so many years of alliance between Centipede Ridge’s demons and the Demonic Sect, their relationship had been relatively harmonious.
Then why did the situation suddenly become so tense after coming to Demon Sword City?
“Could something go wrong during this trip to Demon Sword City…”
Li Muyang muttered to himself in the shadows, suddenly feeling an uneasy premonition.
The demons’ actions were irrational and didn’t make sense.
The so-called abnormality indicates the presence of demons…
Li Muyang glanced at Senior Brother Xiao Cheng and muttered to himself.
He decided to find his little sister Li Yuechan after returning, asking her to inquire about the details of Demon Sword City.
Why is this city forbidding demons and monsters from entering?
Li Muyang faintly felt surrounded by a profound darkness.
He keenly sensed the smell of conspiracy.
