Chapter 56: The Devil's Siege

  After Lao Hei upgraded, the speed of capturing Tianmo also increased significantly. Each time, he would attract three to five low-level Tianmo, and it would take less than a minute to settle them all down. However, the 'Five Elements Ring' consumed the Five Elements Spirit Stones at a slightly faster rate. Fortunately, Su Che temporarily had no shortage of spirit stones, so this consumption was completely bearable.

  After each successful capture, Su Che would retreat to the transmission array, giving Lao Hei ample time to absorb the Tianmo's power. After that, the life force transformed by Lao Hei would come over continuously, and they could start the next capture again.

  When Su Che's body reached a state of saturation with life force, he felt a temporary feeling of fullness and then returned to the transmission array to meditate and cultivate. With both his life force and elixir working together, his cultivation speed naturally increased greatly, and the strengthening and transformation of his physical body was also very obvious.

  Pure vitality is perhaps the most precious kind of energy in the world, silently and quietly nourishing every part of the body, like a clear spring constantly cleansing the five organs and six viscera, making bones more solid, muscles stronger, and meridians slowly expanding and strengthening, allowing more true qi to flow throughout the body...

  Physique enhanced, the mind also becomes clearer, a crystal clear and refreshing feeling fills the depths of the brain. Some obscure problems that have been troubling oneself in the past are now easily solved, and even some ingenious ideas emerge one after another.

  Just like that, only three days later, Su Che discovered that he seemed to have grown taller and his body had become much stronger.

  At the age of fifteen, it is indeed a time for physical growth, but it is impossible to change so much in just a few days. It is clearly the magical effect of abundant vitality.

  Lao Hei was also extremely delighted: "Master, if you continue to reinforce like this, your innate talent may not be able to change, but your acquired talent will far surpass others. When the time comes to build the foundation, who knows how many times the success rate will increase!"

  "Alright, go on!"

  Physically and mentally refreshed, in a state of spiritual excitement, with high morale and great enthusiasm.

  However, after walking for a few steps, I saw a figure appearing in the distance, approaching the transmission array in a winding manner. His pace was not fast, obviously to avoid some low-level heavenly demons wandering around in advance.

  Sometimes humans are more dangerous than demons, Su Che stopped in his tracks, warily staring at the approaching person.

  As the distance gradually approached one hundred zhang, Lao Hei's probing ability also came into play, and he immediately reported: "Master, we've seen this person before. He was one of the followers who entered the Sealing Demon Domain with 'Hua Lu' a few days ago. He is an inner disciple of Tianlu Peak, with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Seventh Layer."

  Su Che responded with a sound and continued to stare at the figure getting closer and closer, soon he saw clearly that it was indeed one of the disciples of Tianlu Peak whom he had met that day.

  He was twenty-one or two years old, with a moderate build and a square face. His two thick and messy eyebrows almost connected together, which is commonly known as "connected eyebrows". Some physiognomy theories circulating in the secular world say that this type of eyebrow is not very good, representing a violent temper, inconsistency, narrow-mindedness, etc. However, fortune-telling is inherently vague and unreliable, and it's even more uncertain when applied to cultivators.

  On the other side, Tian Lufeng's disciple had also seen Su Che early on and was equally puzzled in his heart: "Isn't this the little guy who followed Yu Qing? How did he end up here alone, could it be that he too wants to leave the Demon Sealing Realm?"

  When he came closer, Su Che took the initiative to salute: "I've seen Master."

  The disciple of Tianlu Peak hummed a low tone and stopped in his tracks, asking coldly: "How did you end up here?"

  'Tianlu Hualu' and 'Xuanji Yiqing' have a chilly relationship, so this person's attitude towards Su Che is unlikely to be very friendly.

  Su Che naturally couldn't tell him the truth, so he just said: "Yu Qing Shixiong and Ling Long Shijie have something to do, they let me wait for them here for three days. Today is already the third day, I estimate that they may come over to pick me up at any time."

  I thought he was just casually asking and I would casually answer, then he would leave. But unexpectedly, he asked again: "What did Yüqīng and Línglóng go to do?"

  "This... " Su Che hesitated for a moment before answering: "But he didn't tell me."

  "It's not that I didn't tell you, but rather you're unwilling to answer, right?" The disciple of Tian Lufeng furrowed his thick eyebrows together, the already connected left and right eyebrows almost forming a single whole.

  "If that's how you understand it, then no matter how I explain it, it's useless." Su Che spread out his hands and sighed: "Besides, if you were to ask me about things related to Hua Lu, you wouldn't answer either, would you?"

  "Nonsense!" Lian Mei's disciple coldly shouted: "I am me, you are you! You're just a small outer sect disciple, how can you be mentioned in the same breath as me?"

  Su Che fell silent and didn't bother to argue with him anymore.

  "I'm asking you again, where did Yu Qing go?" Lian Mei's disciple took a step forward, his expression even colder.

  "Sorry, senior brother, I really don't know, so I can't give any answer." Su Che replied calmly.

  "You're quite bold!" Lian Mei's disciple chuckled, thinking to himself: I indeed don't dare offend Xuanji Yuqing head-on, but taking down an outer sect disciple like you is no big deal!

  "Today, I'll substitute for Yu Qing and teach you a good lesson, let you understand what is the distinction between superior and inferior!" As he spoke, he revealed his intention to take action.

  What's going on here? How can you turn against me like this? What did I do to offend you? Su Che was taken aback and hastily shouted: "Senior brother, fellow disciples are not allowed to fight privately, this is a rule of our sect."

  "Whoever is having a private fight with you, I'm just teaching you. As your senior brother, it's my duty to correct your mistakes." Lian Mei's disciple retorted coldly.

  Su Che took a few steps back and finally dissuaded him, saying: "Brother Master, you must have accepted some entrustment from Master Hua Lu to leave the Demon Sealing Realm. Don't let me cause any trouble and delay your main task."

  "You're also worthy of delaying my business?" Lian Mei's disciple sneered, "Don't worry, it'll only take a few moves to capture you, no need to drag it out."

  Su Che had already understood that he wasn't going to kill himself, but once he was captured, a round of torture and humiliation would be inevitable. Even so, Su Che was extremely unwilling, seeing that the situation was irretrievable, he turned around and ran without hesitation. The direction of his escape was deep into the Sealing Demon Domain.

  "Want to escape? Look for death!"

  Lian Mei's disciple sneered and thought to himself: This is perfect, I'll just push you into the depths of the domain. With your current cultivation level, you'll definitely be devoured by the external heavenly demons until nothing but bones are left. That way, I won't even need to lift a finger.

  It was with this idea that his pursuit speed did not accelerate too quickly, keeping a distance of over ten feet behind Su Che, without even casting any spells. He deliberately wanted to use someone else's knife to kill, forcing Su Che into a desperate situation, and he wouldn't have to worry about staining his hands with human blood or violating the sect's rules.

  One chased and the other fled, neither of them using any concealment spells, they ran for hundreds of meters before attracting dozens of Tianmo from outside the domain, as they went deeper, even more Tianmo roared in pursuit from a distance.

  Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, over a hundred heavenly demons converged on this side. Within the Demon-Sealing Domain, everything was scarce, except for external heavenly demons which were never in short supply.

  "It's almost over, he's definitely dead." Lian Mei's disciple thought to himself: "With so many heavenly demons, I'm having some trouble dealing with them, I should retreat."

  He stopped in his tracks, just about to return to the transmission array, but unexpectedly, Su Che turned around and scolded: "Fool, beast, if you have the ability, continue chasing me!"

  "What?"

  Lian Mei's disciple was furious, actually being insulted by an outer sect disciple like this. Even if he was close to death, this evil spirit was hard to calm down. No way, I must kill him with my own hands to vent my anger!

  Over a hundred low-level heavenly demons, although somewhat troublesome, he claimed to be at the seventh level of Qi refinement and was not far from the transmission array. He wanted to retreat wholeheartedly, which wasn't too difficult. So, without hesitation, he chased after Su Che.

  Su Che suddenly changed direction and launched a suicidal charge towards the largest gathering of Tianmo demons not far away.

  Whoosh! Su Che's figure was completely engulfed by the numerous Heavenly Devils.

  "This little fool would rather die than be caught by me?" Lian Mei's disciple was slightly stunned, and he didn't expect Su Che to be so ruthless.

  At this moment, he was also surrounded by some other heavenly demons who had gathered, but after all, with the cultivation of the later stage of Qi Refining and a high-quality defensive artifact, he didn't worry about his own safety.

  It's possible that he really is narrow-minded and has a small heart, unwilling to leave until he sees Su Che being torn into pieces by the numerous heavenly demons.

  At this time, Su Che, who was surrounded by dozens of Tianmo, had let out a mournful cry. He crouched on the ground, holding his head in his hands, looking extremely painful.

  "Has he been possessed by the heavenly demon?"

  Lianmei Dizi activated his magic tool and resisted the attacks of several dozen Tianmo, while still having time to pay attention to Su Che's situation.

  All that could be seen was Su Che's body surface shrouded in a half-transparent mist, which occasionally transformed into a terrifying devilish form. The devil continued to roar wildly: "This person belongs to me, all of you, get out of here!"

  "Could it be a Demon King?" Lian Mei's disciple was secretly astonished: "This is clearly the outermost area of the fourth district, how could a Demon King-level Tianmo possibly appear here?"

  No mistake, the heavenly demon wrapped around Su Che's body at this moment obviously has the strength of Qi Refining Fourth Layer, which is one level higher than all the low-level heavenly demons around him, and can be considered a small leader.

  The hierarchy of the extraterritorial demons is extremely strict. Since Su Che was favored by a demon king, other low-level demons dared not compete with their leader for food. As a result, dozens of demons who originally surrounded Su Che ran to Lian Mei's side.

  The scene before them had turned into Su Che being alone, crouching on the ground and suffering at the hands of a single Mo Tou, while Lian Mei's disciples were surrounded by over a hundred low-level Tian Mo.

  Su Che called out repeatedly, but in his heart he was laughing: "Old Hei, this move really is quite useful."

  "That's for sure! Otherwise, I wouldn't have suggested it, and deliberately lured all the nearby devils over." The demon head that was pretending to torture Su Che was actually Old Black in disguise.

  Laohei released his own Tianmo power from the Xian prison, transforming it into a demonic head that not only bewilders human cultivators but also makes it impossible for true extraterritorial Tianmo to distinguish between reality and illusion.

  Suddenly, Su Che and Lao Hei hid aside to watch the show, and even had the opportunity to sneak up and teach that guy with a whole eyebrow a good lesson.
