Chapter 358 - Placed In A Difficult Position
The two had no choice but to enter the stone house. The interior was simple, with only one stone bed. The floor was cold, and there wasn't even a blanket.
"Keep an eye on them. If they don't consummate tonight, kill them without mercy!" The seventh-grade abyssal devil ordered two sixth-grade abyssal devils to stand guard outside. If Liu Wuxie didn't comply, the two sixth-grade abyssal devils would kill them immediately.
"Roger that!" The two sixth-grade abyssal devils stood guard outside the stone house.
The stone house fell silent, and the two were unsure what to do next. That was especially the case for Jian Xing'er, who blushed. She wondered if she would have to consummate with Liu Wuxie that night.
She couldn't deny that she had developed some good feelings for Liu Wuxie after spending the past few days together. Jian Xing'er, a beauty with many suitors over the years, found herself drawn to him.
"Junior brother, what should we do next?" Jian Xing'er walked around the stone house. The walls were built with large stone blocks, which meant it would be hard to push them apart. But if they forced their way out, it would surely draw the attention of the abyssal devils outside.
This was the abyssal devil's tribe, and they would die if they made a mistake.
"The abyssal devil also has a resting time. They will sleep in an hour, and we can find a way to escape then," Liu Wuxie said, sitting on the stone bed and closing his eyes to meditate. As this place was filled with abyssal energy, Liu Wuxie circulated the Desolate Devouring Art and absorbed it without restraint.
The more abyssal energy he refined, the stronger the abyssal realm would become in the world in his dantian.
Jian Xing'er sat on the other side, but she couldn't calm down and would occasionally glance at Liu Wuxie's handsome face.
When Liu Wuxie opened his eyes, this startled Jian Xing'er, who quickly looked away. But her heart pounded like a galloping horse, and her face flushed.
"Senior sister, I'm sorry about today. I'm married, and my wife is cultivating in the Misty Sect." Liu Wuxie spoke calmly, and his goal was to return to the Celestial Realm as soon as possible. He had no time for romantic relationships, nor did he want to think about it now.
Secular constraints didn't bind the cultivation world, and it was normal for powerful individuals to have many women. But Liu Wuxie had no plans for that because he didn't have that much time to waste.
"I didn't take it to heart, so don't worry. Why don't you tell me more about your wife?" Jian Xing'er took a deep breath with a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
With nothing to do, Liu Wuxie briefly talked about Xu Lingxue to Jian Xing'er, who listened attentively.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the entire settlement became quiet. Many abyssal devils began to rest as they also had to recuperate.
Liu Wuxie used Ghost Eye to peer through the stone blocks and observe outside. Aside from a few abyssal devils wandering outside, the others had fallen asleep.
"Senior sister, follow me closely when we make our escape. I'll find a way for us to leave." The two abyssal devils outside didn't leave and stood guard when the door was suddenly pushed open.
"The commander has ordered us to supervise you two personally," an abyssal devil member declared. With a swift motion, he swept his hand towards Liu Wuxie, forcing him to retreat from the overwhelming abyssal aura. This sixth-grade abyssal devil was comparable to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, and Liu Wuxie was no match for him.
Liu Wuxie rolled backward and staggered briefly before stabilizing.
When the room was filled with abyssal energy, Jian Xing'er inadvertently inhaled a large amount of it, causing a wave of abyssal nature to surge within her, making her restless.
"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Liu Wuxie quickly realized something was amiss, noticing a trace of crimson in Jian Xing'er's eyes. She had been in the Abyssal Underground World for fifteen days, constantly fighting and fleeing, allowing the abyssal energy to invade her soul sea.
"I-I'm fine!" Jian Xing'er said, gritting her teeth and not wanting Liu Wuxie to worry about her.
"Thank you!" Jian Xing'er was so excited that she almost grabbed Liu Wuxie by the arm. This could be a sign that the abyssal nature was starting to take over her.
After all, the abyssal devils weren't bound by morals or shame, acting without inhibition.
Liu Wuxie knew he had to act quickly and escape, or Jian Xing'er would succumb to the abyssal nature after tonight. He proceeded to take out array flags and insert them in the corner of the house, inscribing runes with his hands. He only had two hours, and he had to hurry.
"Why is it so quiet in there? Do you want us to help?" Lewd laughter came from outside, and the quietness inside made the two abyssal devils suspicious.
After hearing that, Liu Wuxie and Jian Xing'er exchanged glances, and the latter blushed.
"Junior brother, you focus on setting up the spiritual array," Jian Xing'er said, taking a deep breath before making seductive sounds.
Several times, Liu Wuxie nearly lost his focus, but he managed to maintain it to speed up the spiritual array.
The two abyssal devils finally gave up after hearing the alluring sounds inside the house.
Jian Xing'er blushed like a ripe apple. After all, it was too embarrassing for her to make such indecent sounds in front of others.
After spending over an hour and many spirit stones, Liu Wuxie finished his setup.
"I'm done!" Liu Wuxie said, signaling for Jian XIng'er to stop.
It wasn't very comfortable for Jian Xing'er, and she dared not look Liu Wuxie in the eyes. Her head was so low that it was nearly buried in her chest, clutching the hem of her clothes. She was utterly mortified after thinking about what she had just done.
"Junior brother, what do we do next?" Jian Xing'er asked.
"I'll lure them in, and you retreat to the southeast corner. That's the safe zone." Liu Wuxie said with a hint of ferocity in his eyes. He was an immortal emperor who was forced into this situation. It would be a disgrace to his name if he couldn't kill the two abyssal devils.
He was too weak and could wipe out the entire Abyssal Underground World if strong enough.
Jian Xing'er quickly retreated to the southeast corner, entering the core of this spiritual array.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Wuxie walked towards the door with the talismans. With each step he took, his murderous intent intensified.
The two abyssal devils came in first before Liu Wuxie could open the stone door. The sudden disappearance of the sound in the room had attracted them.
"Who allowed you to get up?" Seeing Liu Wuxie walking towards them, the two abyssal devils were furious with their abyssal energy released towards him.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Wuxie inserted the last array flag, and the entire room was isolated from the outside world. Even if they fought to the death here, no one outside would notice the commotion.
Spatial confinement was a powerful spiritual array, and Liu Wuxie would only use it if absolutely necessary. After all, it didn't only consume spirit stones but also his soul energy.
"You're courting death!" The two abyssal devils roared in anger and attacked Liu Wuxie together.
"You should be the one to die! I won't be able to quench the hatred in my heart without killing you two!" Liu Wuxie said as a terrifying wave of murderous intent swept out from him.
