Chapter 138: Fleeing in Fear (1/2)
The sect elder's expression soon paled when they all realized it was indeed a demon.
”D-Demons are here,” They screamed as they wanted to escape.
Alas, it was already too late because the demon had finished eating the magical beast and sensed them.
”RARGHH”
The demon roared as he dashed toward a sect elder with his tongue sticking out with slimy saliva.
The sect elder paled as he quickly tried to use his movement technique to dodge.
However, the demon seemed to sneer at the action of the sect elder as it quickly launched itself onto the sect elder.
Afterward, he opened his mouth with razor-sharp teeth as he crunched it down onto the sect elder's neck.
Blood sprayed all over the place, causing the rest of the disciples and sect elders that witnessed the scene in horror.
”AHhhhhhhhh save me,” The sect elder who has his neck being devoured screamed for help.
His eyesight landed on his disciples who were looking at him with a terrified expression.
”What are you doing? Hurry and get this demon off of me!” The sect elder screamed in panic as he could feel his blood being sucked by the demon.
Meanwhile, the disciples glanced at each other before running away without helping the sect elder at all.
The rest of the people didn't dare to linger any further as they quickly retreated and tried to follow after Elder Pan Cheng and Elder Fang Yunru.
”NOOOOOOOOOOO,” The sect elder could only feel his body decaying as his eye became listless whereas the demon laughed evilly as he enjoyed a delicious meal that was abundant with spiritual qi.

”Elder Jing, is there something wrong?” Yang Wei asked Elder Jing when he felt her uneasiness.
Elder Jing remained in a daze, almost like she didn't hear Yang Wei's question.
Yang Wei twitched his brow in surprise to see Elder Jing becoming absent-minded.
Thus, he glanced around their surroundings and when he confirmed there was no one else except them here, Yang Wei knelt down and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
Elder Jing snapped out of her daze and glanced at Yang Wei when she realized he was hugging her.
”Why are you hugging me?” Elder Jing then asked him.
Yang Wei smiled briefly as he said, ”To help you relax and stop worrying about the demons. As long as we're safe and have the concealing pill then the demons would never be able to spot us.”
And he continued, ”Once we stalled for two days, we can finally leave this mysterious realm and enjoy a breath of fresh air.”
Elder Jing giggled softly at Yang Wei's attempt at easing the tension.
'If only things would be as easy as you sound Yang Wei…' Elder Jing sighed inwardly as she decided to explain some things with Yang Wei.
”Yang Wei, we can definitely leave the mysterious realm safe and sound but what about the other sects?”
Yang Wei pondered for a moment and said, ”They are most likely dead or being trapped somewhere since we couldn't detect their whereabouts.”
Elder Jing nodded her head.
”Then what do you think the people in the outside world would react if only our third-rate sect got out of the mysterious realm alive whereas the other sects have their life and death unknown?” Elder Jing then asked in a calm manner.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei became dumbfounded as he finally realized what Elder Jing was worrying about.
It wasn't the demons that she was concerned about but what will happen when they leave this mysterious realm.
The cultivation world was always full of ruthless and unreasonable people so they would definitely pin the cause of their disciples and sect elders on them.
After all, the Swift Feather Sect was only a third-rate sect without much influence in the Phoenix Kingdom.
Elder Jing sighed softly as she said, ”Now you know why I'm uneasy. Those unreasonable people would definitely blame everything on us to pacify the other families.”
