Yang Ji glanced around and chose a teleportation array with fewer Heavenly Demons, then walked over.As he approached, he overheard a hushed conversation, "Junior Brother, our Sister Lan Zhen is just a few Contribution Points short of qualifying to join the Demon Guardian Hall. Could you please do us a favor and give all the Demons you hunt this time to our Sister Lan Zhen? Once our Sister joins the Demon Guardian Hall, she will surely take good care of you."
"Of course, of course!" a Heavenly Demon said with a forced smile.
"Junior Brother, you must have heard our conversation just now. Our Sister Lan Zhen is still short of some Contribution Points, and we hope you can help out!" said the Demon King, smiling at Yang Ji who had just arrived. Enjoy exclusive content from M V L
"Of course, of course!" Yang Ji said with a smile, without missing a beat.
"Junior Brother is good, just follow us closely once we're inside, and Sister Lan Zhen will surely take good care of you," the Heavenly Demon said, pleased with Yang Ji's understanding.
Then he started to ask other Heavenly Demons, but a well-built Heavenly Demon sneered, "I'm still short on Contribution Points to join the Black Abyss Hall. Why don't you and your Sister Lan Zhen make up the amount for me first? Then I'll surely take good care of both of you."
"You!" The Heavenly Demon's face turned cold upon hearing this, "You really don't know what's good for you. Our Sister Lan Zhen is a powerful Quasi True Successor, asking for your help is an honor for you. Don't fail to appreciate kindness, the Black Abyss is vast. If you go in and can't come out, hmph!"
"You!" Hearing such a threat, the well-built Heavenly Demon's expression darkened with anger, a cold light flickering in his eyes, as he pondered something unknown.
"Lin Lu, if others are unwilling, why force them?" a coldly beautiful woman said in an unhurried voice after giving a glance. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Yang Ji carefully sensed her aura, and indeed, the woman was powerful, stronger than Hei Sha, yet still not quite a Quasi True Successor.
"Yes, Sister," said the Heavenly Demon named Lin Lu with a cold smile and a sharp gleam in his eye, choosing not to speak further.
In the midst of their conversation, the teleportation array below suddenly lit up, a strong pull arose, and after a flash of demonic light, everyone had vanished.
After a dizzying spin through the void, they landed once again, finding themselves in a gloomy underground space, which, more precisely, was the first layer within the Demon Abyss Star.
Here, waves of fear and turbidity emanated from all around, and occasionally, from deep within the ground, faint howls and roars could be heard, chilling to the very soul.
Just then, whoosh! A black light suddenly shot out, aiming to fly deeper into the abyss.
Yang Ji focused his gaze and recognized the well-built Heavenly Demon.
"Hmph, thinking of leaving?" said Lin Lu, the Heavenly Demon, with a cold chuckle, producing a pitch-black awl in his hand and hurling it forward. The awl struck the black light in an instant, eliciting a scream, "Ah, the Soul Chasing Awl, how could you have such a magical treasure!"
"Sister!" Instead of responding, Lin Lu turned with a cold laugh to the woman named Lan Zhen beside him.
The woman, Lan Zhen, with a flick of her cold gaze, produced a palm-sized black net from her hand and threw it forward. It instantly enlarged and swiftly covered the muscular Heavenly Demon, dragging him back with force.
"Ah, the Soul Capturing Net, you're so cruel. Do you intend to kill me? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Sect?" the muscular Heavenly Demon roared.
"The Soul Capturing Net can lock onto someone's aura, and once thrown, it covers the target actively within ten thousand miles. I didn't expect them to have such a demonic artifact. He is in a dire situation now," said a Heavenly Demon, apparently guessing the fate of the muscular Heavenly Demon.
Indeed, as soon as Lan Zhen reeled him back, Lin Lu took out a second Soul Chasing Awl and stabbed it mercilessly into the head of the muscular Heavenly Demon still screaming in the net, severely wounding him, then swiftly retrieved it.
"Hmph! We won't kill you, but we will make sure you understand the consequences of defying our Sister Lan Zhen's will!" blurted Lin Lu with a sneer, his gaze sweeping over the other Heavenly Demons as if to say, if you don't obey, this will be your fate.
"So vicious!" Yang Ji's heart shuddered, but he then cracked a grin, "However, I like it!"
