Chapter 751: The Master Is Here....

The spirit beast nibbled on a carrot. “Are there young ladies of immense wealth among the demons?”
This question puzzled Zheng Shijiu and the others.
However, after witnessing the spirit beast’s power, they didn’t dare to ignore its question.
“There probably aren’t any. What does the esteemed spirit beast intend to do?” asked Xin Yuyue.
“Eat people. Isn’t it normal for great demons to eat people?” the spirit beast said.
At that moment, everyone felt that the spirit beast was not as easygoing as it appeared.
“Did you just doubt my influence?” the spirit beast suddenly frowned and asked.
The four of them quickly shook their heads.
They definitely couldn’t admit to that.
“Perhaps you haven’t realized that you’re traveling with the future Great Demon. I’m a powerful being of heaven and earth. I, the spirit beast, am honest and never lie,” declared the spirit beast with great righteousness.
Xiao Li nodded in agreement.
Zheng Shijiu and the others exchanged glances. They felt more and more convinced that the other party was deceiving them.
But the reality was right in front of them.
Yue You hesitated. “If there are demons who are not your friends, what should we do?”
“If they’re not my friends, we don’t need to be polite to them. Just punch them away.” Xiao Li earnestly waved her little fists.
The four of them were speechless.
Things were getting more and more absurd.
After the demons passed by, the group started debating which direction to take.
They realized that the forests and the sky here were somewhat different from what they knew.
The previous path might not have been correct.
“Was the demon we just encountered different from the ones we met before?” Duan Yu suddenly asked.
“What’s different about them?” Xin Yuyue asked.
“They seemed to be fleeing,” Zheng Shijiu said.
If they were indeed fleeing, then there was a problem. Did the demon just now ignore them, or did the spirit beast truly do something?
Or… perhaps both?
Regardless, they couldn’t offend the spirit beast. They still had to rely on it for protection.
“Let’s follow them. If they’re fleeing in that direction for survival, then that must be the right path,” Yue You suggested.
The group didn’t hesitate and immediately followed the demons.
But shortly after catching up, they sensed a powerful aura nearby.
A stronger presence emerged from within.
Boom!
The aura, like a storm, directly shattered the influence of the spirit beast. Many demons stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the spirit beast and its group.
The spirit beast sighed. “Demons who aren’t our friends have appeared.”
Only then did Zheng Shijiu and the others understand that it was indeed the spirit beast’s influence that had spared them just now.
But now, someone had interfered.
There was no escape.
“Spirit beast, do you have another way?” Xin Yuyue asked.
The spirit beast, munching on a carrot, casually said, “For those who aren’t our friends, we don’t need to show them respect. Let Xiao Li handle them.” The four of them looked at Xiao Li.
Although they knew Xiao Li was extraordinary, this place wasn’t for someone in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. There were others in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and even at the early and middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Xiao Li, despite her remarkable abilities, couldn’t be that powerful here…
Xiao Li pouted and walked toward the demons.
She was fearless. For her, just punching her opponents was enough.
Roar!
A roar sounded as the demon charged at Xiao Li.
Without hesitation, Xiao Li threw a punch at it.
Zheng Shijiu and the others were very concerned for her. Was it really safe for her to charge at a demon when she was only in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?
A fist struck out.
Demonic energy surged.
A thunderous sound echoed all around as the encroaching demons were instantly cut in half.
Others were stunned. Even Xiao Li herself was dumbfounded.
How did her fist become so powerful?
“What just happened, Beast?” she asked the spirit beast.
The spirit beast shouted, “This is the demon showing respect to the Master. Don’t worry too much about it. Master’s friends understand the rules of the world.”
Xiao Li didn’t understand, but Zheng Shijiu and the others did. The Master of the spirit beast had arrived…
Immediately after, they saw a figure descend from behind Xiao Li.
“Master!” the spirit beast immediately exclaimed. “Do you want some carrots?”
Xiao Li was taken aback. She turned to look behind her. When she saw Jiang Hao, she was worried.
She quickly placed her hands behind her back.
Then, she remembered she hadn’t stolen any fruits.
In an instant, she stopped worrying and said hastily, “Senior Brother…”
Jiang Hao held a knife and looked at Xiao Li. She looked somehow guilty when she saw him appear suddenly.
He didn’t understand how the spirit beast could have brought her here.
Fortunately, he arrived on time.
If Xiao Li had acted just now, it would have drawn too much attention.
Xiao Li was a True Disciple, so it was natural for her to be more powerful than the others. However, going against Golden Core demons would have raised some eyebrows when she was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With her Dragon Pearl, anyone above or beyond the Golden Core Realm would have turned to ashes, regardless of how powerful they were.
“Have you completed the mission?” Jiang Hao asked.
“Yes. The seniors cleared out the demons, and I cooked for them,” Xiao Li said seriously as though she was reporting her good deeds to her parents.
Jiang Hao looked at her and felt that most of that food might have ended up in Xiao Li’s stomach.
Without asking any more questions, he approached Zheng Shijiu and the others.
“Are you all okay, seniors?”
“We’re fine. Nothing big happened.” Zheng Shijiu quickly shook his head.
He never expected Jiang Hao to appear here.
“Good. Please follow me,” Jiang Hao said.
He flew on his sword and roughly understood the distortion of this place.
It was easy to enter and leaving wasn’t that difficult either.
They could leave as long as their perception wasn’t affected by the distortion.
With the knowledge from the nameless manual, his perception had become quite extraordinary.
Xiao Li immediately picked up the spirit beast and followed him.
Xin Yuyue and Zheng Shijiu breathed a sigh of relief.
They had followed Jiang Hao on several missions and had always gotten to safety.
This time, if nothing unexpected happened, it should be the same.
However, Duan Yu didn’t share this feeling.
He still found it difficult to escape from this place.
“How did you come here, Junior Brother Jiang?” Zheng Shijiu asked.
“Devil’s Den has undergone major changes. This place is no longer manageable for cultivators like us. I came to investigate the source of the changes,” Jiang Hao said truthfully.
“Master, the spiritual energy here doesn’t show me respect,” the spirit beast said immediately.
Jiang Hao nodded slightly.
Indeed, the spiritual energy here was changing.
“Senior Brother Jiang, when will we eat?” Xiao Li asked softly.
Her stomach started rumbling.
Jiang Hao glanced at her and took out some dried meat.
Xiao Li was excited.
“I’ll take you to where the other fellow disciples are later. Remember to follow them and absolutely do not enter the forest again. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get out,” Jiang Hao said.
At that moment, some demons noticed them and began to attack.
The demonic sounds echoed.
All the demons were swiftly cut down in the blink of an eye.
His strength was overwhelming. It made them feel suffocated.
This was no longer an ordinary middle-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Zheng Shijiu understood this the most.
Time flew by, and the one who was only at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm once had unknowingly surpassed everyone..
