Chapter 551: Chapter 303: You Might Not Be Able to Kill Us All Before Your Spiritual Qi Is Exhausted

Tao He and the others were hard at work making repairs. A few Demon Beasts attempted to break through their defenses, but all of them undeniably failed.

Jiang Man never lifted a finger, focusing entirely on improving his cultivation instead. However, the worry in his heart never diminished. Even though he had already filled his fifth Gourd and his Spirit had surpassed the Perfection of an ordinary Realm, he still lacked any sense of security. The recent power fluctuations, in particular, made him keenly aware that this was no place for someone like him to act recklessly. He could die a sudden death at any moment.

"Senior Brother," Tao He said as he approached Jiang Man. "That Demon Beast has confessed."

Jiang Man was a bit surprised. "Why the sudden confession?"

"I don’t know. Probably because of the pain. After all, we don’t have any extra medicine to spare," Tao He replied. The captive was severely injured, and trying to recover on her own in this place would be extremely difficult. Even Tao He and his group hadn’t fully healed from their own injuries. There was nothing they could do; their resources were completely exhausted. "However, she specifically asked to see you, Senior Brother."

Jiang Man nodded and went to meet the captive, quite curious about the situation here himself. Furthermore, he wanted to ask her about the Nine-star Body Refining Method to see if she had any insights that could save him some time.

The female Demon Beast looked at Jiang Man. "Are you really at the Primordial Spirit Level? Or are you a Magic Cultivator?"

"Yes," Jiang Man nodded. He then placed his hand on her shoulder and activated the Celestial Mirror Hundred Books.

[What a piece of trash.]

Jiang Man withdrew his hand. He was at least considered an ant by the book, and Old Huang was at least evaluated as a beast. But this Demon Beast was actually considered trash.

At that moment, the female Demon Beast frowned. She felt that the way he looked at her had changed. Before, he had looked at her like she was a foreign species, but now he was looking at her as if she were a piece of useless garbage. For a moment, she felt like she had brought this humiliation upon herself.

"Why did you suddenly attack us?" Tao He asked from the side.

"We wanted freedom. Would you say that’s our fault, or the Immortal Sect’s fault?" the female Demon Beast asked, staring at Jiang Man.

Jiang Man pondered for a moment and replied, "My fault."

The female Demon Beast was baffled.

Jiang Man explained, "I was too strong, which turned you into a prisoner. But I was also too weak, as I failed to make you understand that right and wrong don’t matter to me. What matters is that I am stronger."

The moment she heard this answer, the female Demon Beast froze. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped herself. Ultimately, she fell silent.

Jiang Man wasn’t in a hurry either. Instead, he pulled out a book and started reading.

The female Demon Beast frowned. "What are you doing?"

"Studying," Jiang Man said, looking at her calmly. "You’re locked up in here, shouldn’t you be consolidating what you’ve learned?"

"I don’t want to talk to him anymore. Can someone else interrogate me? I’ll confess everything," the female Demon Beast said, turning to Tao He.

In the end, Jiang Man was asked to leave the room. As soon as he stepped out, the female Demon Beast began complaining to Tao He. "Why is your Senior Brother so pretentious? Are all humans as terrible as him? No wonder our Demon Race and you humans are irreconcilable enemies..."

Jiang Man didn’t pay them any mind. Instead, he looked up at the sky. Although occasional shockwaves rippled over, they shouldn’t be directly hit. He had boundless good fortune; there wouldn’t be any problems.

Soon after, Tao He found Jiang Man.

"Did you get the answers?" Jiang Man asked.

Tao He nodded. "She said this place is actually where several Evil Gods fell. But since these Evil Gods had no subordinates, they could only remain dormant here.

"However, the people of the Immortal Sect were unaware of this. So they came here to reclaim the land. Meanwhile, someone secretly awakened some of the Evil Gods and their artifacts.

"Someone also tipped off the Demon Race. Led by a few senior members, they joined forces with the Evil Gods and launched a counterattack. All for the sake of freedom."

"How many Evil Gods are there?" Jiang Man asked.

"She said there are at least three to five, but she doesn’t know the exact number. With her low strength, she couldn’t learn much. She only knew that the defenses in this area were weak, making it easy to break out. Who knew they’d run into you, Senior Brother," Tao He replied.

"How long will this operation last?" Jiang Man asked.

"Hard to say, but at most a year. After a year, the Sect will definitely notice," Tao He said.

Jiang Man was a bit surprised. It would take a whole year for the Sect to notice? Did the Sect not need to contact this place during that time? Or perhaps the key figures in charge were no longer loyal to the Sect? Such a possibility did exist.

But Jiang Man didn’t dwell on it. For now, his current situation was relatively stable, so he didn’t need to worry about such things. Besides, he couldn’t send messages out anyway, so there was no point in fretting over it.

Afterward, Jiang Man began to comprehend the Nine-star Body Refining Method.

Early March.

Because the female Demon Beast was cooperative, she was allowed outside for some fresh air despite her severe injuries, occasionally helping to tidy things up. Once she recovered, they planned to hand her over to the Sect for disciplinary action. Knowing that her future looked grim, she cherished this brief respite. Naturally, it was best to enjoy whatever little freedom she had.

Mid-March.

Shockwaves of power struck again, almost identical to the previous occurrences. Tao He and the others were already used to it. They figured it would dissipate in no time.

However, Jiang Man suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked toward the horizon. He snapped his book shut and vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already beside Tao He and the other two.

"Senior Brother?" The three were taken aback.

"Let’s go."

Jiang Man didn’t dare to hesitate; he grabbed them and fled rapidly.

At the exact same time, a terrifying force roared toward them, blotting out the sun and the sky. It looked like a scene from the apocalypse.

The moment Tao He and the others sensed it, their faces turned deathly pale. This was absolutely not something they could evade.

The naturally perceptive female Demon Beast had also run over immediately to warn Tao He’s group. But as soon as she arrived, she saw Jiang Man grabbing everyone and fleeing rapidly. Naturally, she used all her strength to keep up. However, given her injuries, how could she possibly match Jiang Man’s speed? She desperately channeled her Magic Skills from behind, but could only watch helplessly as they pulled away.

And the power from the sky was already crashing down.

She knew she was done for. She felt certain she was going to die. Gritting her teeth, she continued pressing forward. She didn’t want to die yet. But no matter how fast she fled, she couldn’t escape that terrifying power. In her panic, she made a mistake in channeling her Magic Skill and stumbled, about to fall to the ground. In that instant, her will to survive crumbled. She couldn’t escape.

Just as she fell, earthen spikes suddenly jutted out from the ground, striking heavily against her abdomen. Countless earthen spikes appeared in succession, rapidly carrying her forward. Finally, a hand grabbed her.

It was Song Wushuang.

"Channel your Magic Skills to protect us!" Song Wushuang shouted.

"We don’t save useless people," Jiang Man’s cold voice echoed.

The originally dazed female Demon Beast didn’t hesitate to channel her Defense Skills. She shielded everyone.

With a Primordial Spirit Level Magic Skill buffering them, Jiang Man’s speed indeed increased. Soon, he landed in a corner, and the surrounding Arrays lit up instantly.

After putting everyone down, Jiang Man took a deep breath and said, "Whether you live or die is up to yourselves now."

Then, the overwhelming force crashed down upon them, swallowing all five of them whole.

As the residual power dissipated, four figures descended rapidly. A middle-aged man was chasing the other three. His voice was freezing cold, "You can’t escape."

"It’s you who can’t escape," an old woman chuckled. "It’s been so long, and you still haven’t broken the lockdown. If you had, the Sect’s people would have come looking, and we wouldn’t even be involved.

"Keep chasing us. I want to see how long you can keep it up. Fellow Daoist Mu Kong, trap him for a while. We will certainly fulfill what was promised to you."

With that, the old woman turned and left with a younger woman. A young boy of about ten years old headed toward the middle-aged man.

Subsequently, the entire space was sealed off.

"You’re courting death," the middle-aged man’s indifferent voice rang out.

At last, the sky returned to calm. However, an incense stick’s time later, the sky suddenly exploded. Something plummeted from high above.

The middle-aged man scoffed coldly, "What a waste of my time." Then, he resumed his pursuit and left.

Just like that, everything slowly returned to tranquility. Except, the Arrays that Jiang Man’s group had set up were completely shattered.

Having taken the brunt of a shockwave while hiding in the corner, Jiang Man had sustained some injuries of his own. Tao He and the others had passed out on the spot.

Jiang Man sent out his perception.

"The aura of an Evil God? An Abyssal Evil God?"

Jiang Man could sense that the thing that had just fallen from the sky was likely an Evil God as well. Under normal circumstances, he would have kept a wide distance. But the opponent didn’t seem very strong, having been casually defeated and tossed aside. He could absolutely approach it safely.

And he had only one purpose for approaching it: to see if the Evil God’s Technique could siphon the other party’s power. If it worked, he could tear open a gap in the ruined temple and send a message out. But his current condition wouldn’t allow it.

Instead, he chose to activate the Evil God’s Technique. After confirming that Tao He and the rest were still unconscious, he took a step forward. Suddenly, it was as if an extra layer of clothing draped over him, radiating a dazzling light. He began to walk amidst the aura of power.

Using the identity of Zui Fusheng, he went to meet his new neighbor.
