"Ah, spare my life!" The robust Heavenly Demon was kneaded into a ball by Lin Lu and tightly clutched in his hand, letting out waves of miserable screams."You know what I want." Lin Lu said with a cold laugh.
"Ah, Contribution Points, I'll give them to you!"
"Smart of you!" Lin Lu snorted coldly and threw the ball of Demonic Qi to the ground. The robust Heavenly Demon transformed back into human shape while wailing pitifully.
He looked up at Lin Lu, fearfully, with a cold smile on his face, his eyes harboring a hint of resentment and unwillingness as he took out his Identity Token. With a light activation, a series of black runes sprinkled out like dots of stars.
These black runes were enigmatic, infused with Dao Principles, difficult to counterfeit, and seemingly useless for cultivation—merely used for tallying.
Yang Ji glanced over and saw that there were as many as one hundred thousand of these black runes – clearly representing one hundred thousand Contribution Points.
"Hmph! You know your place, this time I'll let you off, now scram!" Lin Lu said, seemingly satisfied after the Contribution Points in the Identity Token were emptied. He absorbed three hundred thousand of the black runes and then handed over the remaining seventy thousand Contribution Points to Lan Zhen.
After Lan Zhen absorbed all the black runes with her Identity Token, she said coolly, "These Contribution Points are still too few. The first layer doesn't have many demons; let's go straight to the seventh layer."
"Ah, the seventh layer?" Instantly, concern showed on the faces of the nearby Heavenly Demons.
Yang Ji had also inquired of Hei Sha and learned that the first ten layers were usually where the Demon Kings roamed; the further inside one went, the more and the stronger the demons there were.

"Don't be afraid. Sister Lan Zhen has already reached the peak of the Demon King, with both Great Divine Powers fully mastered. Descending to the seventh layer, we can still ensure your safety. Follow us down, and you'll gain many benefits." Lin Lu looked at the crowd indifferently and spoke.
"If that's the case, alright then!" Some Heavenly Demons said through gritted teeth.
"Fellow juniors, rest assured, going down you'll definitely reap benefits," Lin Lu immediately said, breaking into a smile upon hearing this.
Yang Ji casually looked over; besides Lan Zhen and Lin Lu, there were five other Demon Kings, none of whom emitted a particularly strong aura, obviously just ordinary Demon Kings. Now they naturally dared not go against Lin Lu's will, or they would face the same fate of having their Contribution Points drained.
Yang Ji naturally agreed as well, it being his first time in the Demon Abyss. He needed to follow others to familiarize himself with the environment before making further plans.
"There's no time to delay, let's go." After saying this, Lan Zhen took out a black Earth Jutsu Talisman, activated it, and a beam of light enveloped everyone. After a dizzying spin, they appeared on the seventh layer of the Demon Abyss, which was even darker than before.
"These demons fancy themselves as hunters, liking to hide in the shadows. Today, I intend to find and kill these rats lurking in the dark," Lan Zhen said with an air of authority.
The underground of the Demon Abyss was crisscrossed, like an ant nest, with spacious passageways everywhere. Within them roiled clumps of black mist, and from the depths came roars from time to time, as if Demon Gods were howling.
As Yang Ji surveyed his surroundings, Lin Lu said with a smile, "Junior brother, these demons are very cunning and well-hidden. We need you to walk in front, while we will protect you from the back. When the demons appear, we will strike from behind and deliver a fatal blow."
Lin Lu had a clever plan, asking him to walk in the front. If the demons they attracted were weak, they could rush up to take advantage, and if they encountered a strong demon, they could comfortably retreat.
Yang Ji sneered inwardly. With Golden Finger, he didn't fear anything, yet outwardly he remained composed and smiled, "Alright, senior brothers and sisters, follow me, and I will lure out the demons."
Afterward, he released a trace of his aura and slowly walked ahead, while keeping an eye on the surroundings.
But barely a few miles in, he felt a tremor in front, as massive quantities of Demonic Qi surged his way.
This Demonic Qi was so dense it was suffocating, like a mountain. Yang Ji opened his eyes and saw thousands of demon entries displayed, numbering in the thousands. Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Demon Soldiers, Demon Generals, Demon Marshals, and even not a few Demon Kings. Yang Ji was overjoyed; he hadn't expected to encounter demons so soon. This place was truly a treasure trove hiding countless demons.
Behind him, several Demon Kings next to Lin Lu heard the noise and were immediately struck with terror, "This is bad, such a commotion, we need to get out of here."
"No rush. With junior brother up front to attract attention, we can afford to observe the situation first," Lin Lu said calmly with a smile.
The faces of several Demon Kings changed. If the junior brother in front were to die, who would they send out as bait next?
"Demonic Qi, such pure Demonic Qi, untainted by Heavenly Demons' Qi."
Violent and excited voices echoed from a tunnel ahead; they had smelled pure Demonic Qi that differed from that of the demons.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
One after another, Heavenly Demons madly charged forward, fatally attracted by the pure Demonic Qi.
"Poor thing, pushed to the front as bait. But indeed, so tender, I'm going to eat you!" Rumbling, thousands of demons charged crazily. They had fierce appearances, red eyes like blood, bodies emitting dark mist, looking extraordinarily ferocious.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The demons swarmed in and shot out a sea of black light beams, dense and numerous as arrows, with strong penetrating power. They aimed not only at Yang Ji but also at Lin Lu and the others behind him, clearly having discovered the demons as well.
