Chapter 19 - Demon Lord
At the same time as the Taoist died, an oil lamp in a stone hall deep within Kuxin Cave was extinguished. The old Taoist who was guarding the life lamp immediately activated a jade.
A powerful divine sense swept over. The elderly Taoist hurriedly said, ”Junior Brother Zhang Xiu was killed. Please enlighten me, Demon Lord.”
He had a fixed route, and must have been killed while he was on patrol. Could it be that the Punishment Hall wanted to counterattack the third level of the Bitter Heart Cave?
The divine sense quickly locked onto Chu Qianye and Shen Xuejun, and when the divine sense swept over, Chu Qianye and Shen Xuejun felt Mo Ming's fear, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.
Just when Chu Qianye and Shen Xuejun were in a state of shock, an invisible giant hand imprisoned them. In the midst of Shen Xuejun's screams, the two of them were pulled far away by an invisible force.
The tunnels on both sides whizzed by, so fast that they couldn't see the surroundings clearly. When they stopped, they were already in a brightly lit underground city.
There were a few tens of people working underground. Sensing Chu Qianye and the others' Qi, many people raised their head and looked over. Very quickly, the supervisor's whip landed on their bodies.
These people were carving out huge rocks and carving out complicated patterns, they were the disciples of the third level of the Bitter Heart Cave, and at that moment, they became slaves.
After the formless energy had dissipated, a faintly discernable voice rang out, ”Where did the two of you come from?”
Chu Qianye swallowed his saliva and spoke nervously: ”I am Chu Qianye, the direct disciple of Sect Leader Tie Liuqing. I have been ordered by my master to scout the Kuxin Cave and to look for Junior Master Mu Aoao's father. Excuse me, is this third level of the Bitter Heart Cave? If so, we are one family. ”
The stone slaves raised their heads in surprise, and soon, whizzing whips descended once again, heavily punishing them. The faintly discernible voice asked, ”Mu Aoao's father is Mu Yuanzhi?”
Chu Qianye said honestly: ”I also do not know the name, may I ask how I should address senior?”
The faintly discernible voice did not answer, but asked instead: ”That Tie Liuqing brat became the Sect Leader, did you obey his orders and come to capture us?”
Chu Qianye anxiously said: ”Disciple is just a Building Foundation Period, I do not have the ability to apprehend anyone. My job is to investigate whether there have been any wronged disciples in Kuxin Cave, and whether Sinners has been treated fairly.”
That faintly discernible voice shook as it said: ”So just because of Building Foundation Period, you have the guts to kill my subordinates?”
His voice was like thunder that caused Chu Qianye's body to be on the verge of collapse. He leaned on his flying sword and stably spoke: ”He's preparing to capture my junior sister, and even said that the Demon Lord likes her, this must be slander towards senior. This is an intolerable crime.”
That voice madly laughed and said, ”I am a little girl who likes to eat soft and tender skin. It tastes really good.”
Shen Xuejun's face was extremely pale as she timidly hid behind Chu Qianye. Chu Qianye was sweating profusely, why hadn't Zi Yue appeared yet, he had already met the Ogre King, was she protecting him in the dark?
In the flickering lamplight, a burly figure appeared in the sky with an extremely arrogant posture. The supervisors immediately knelt on the ground and said, ”Welcome, Demon Lord.”
The Demon Lord laughed maniacally in midair. Amidst his laughter, a few people appeared in the caves around the underground city. After taking a glance at them, they lost their interest and turned around to return.
The Demon Lord opened his arms wide and said: ”Tian Suanzi, your daughter has sent someone to find you, didn't you hear?”
A hoarse voice said, ”The heavens are merciless, the monks are as heartless. Tell these two fools to go back and send a letter saying that the girl is just a vile creature with a drunken personality. I don't have any feelings for her.”
Tian Suanzi was at the entrance of a cave on the left, and this was an old man with white hair. He looked extremely old, but his pair of phoenix eyes was the same as Mu Aoao's.
