We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

No one answered.

However, the eyes of all the disciples of the Ziyang Sect inadvertently fell on the figure at the back of the group.

Looking at the calm and composed Su Chen, Robin sneered. He didn't expect that the person leading the team from the Holy Origin Sect would be Wu Mo, and he didn't expect that before even entering the Demon Cave, the people from the Holy Origin Sect would show up to make things difficult for Su Chen.

Seeing that no one answered, the handsome young man assumed that Su Chen was not in the Ziyang Sect. However, he quickly noticed the strangeness of everyone and followed their gaze, soon spotting Su Chen.

The other person stood still, upright like a pine tree, as if he hadn't heard him speak.

Even when he discovered it, the other person seemed completely unconcerned.

This situation immediately caused the handsome man to show his dissatisfaction.

He walked slowly forward, and wherever he went, people made way for him.

Some uninformed martial artists, though unaware of the feud between the two, gleaned some clues from the handsome man's expression.

Some martial artists who knew the inside story looked at the two with different expressions, some silent, some mocking, some frowning... and so on.

"You're Su Chen?"

Approaching Su Chen, the handsome man asked in a deep voice. Although he was not as tall as Su Chen, his aura was aggressive.

Su Chen nodded without speaking, his expression even more aloof than the handsome man's.

"Since you are Su Chen, why didn't you answer when I called you earlier?"

The handsome man took a step forward, his aura coalescing into a powerful force that pressed down on Su Chen Gai.

Upon seeing this, Elder Lu's expression changed slightly. He wanted to step forward to stop them, but Wu Mo stopped him: "This is a matter for their younger generation. It would be best if we didn't interfere. Let them have a good chat, which will also enhance the relationship between our two sects."

"There's no need to communicate now; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Lu Hai snorted coldly, choosing to ignore Wu Mo.

Upon hearing this, Wu Mo's face immediately darkened.

Lu Hai ignored him and was about to make a move when he suddenly noticed that Su Chen, who was under the aura of the handsome young man, remained completely still.

This startled him slightly, but put his mind at ease, knowing that Su Chen had the ability to withstand the handsome young man's oppressive aura.

"I won't answer to just any Tom, Dick, or Harry who calls me!"

Su Chen's gaze finally fell on the handsome young man. His words were sharp and immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"This guy named Su Chen from the Ziyang Sect is far too arrogant!"

"Haha, I thought the other side wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of the dark clouds, but I didn't expect them to be even bolder than I imagined!"

"It seems that this demon hunt will once again unleash a bloody storm between the Holy Origin Sect and the Purple Sun Sect."

"Is this a newly joined disciple of the Ziyang Sect? I don't think I've ever heard of him before."

"So he's the Su Chen who killed the true disciple of the Holy Origin Sect. Seeing is believing, indeed."

"What did you say? He killed a disciple of the Holy Origin Sect? How is that possible!"

"This matter has already spread. At that time, Wu Mo even went to the Ziyang Sect to demand the person, but he was stopped by the deputy hall master of the Ziyang Sect."

"No wonder the dark clouds targeted Su Chen from the very beginning; it turns out there was one reason for it."

"Then why does he still dare to participate in the demon hunt? Isn't he just walking into a trap? The disciples of the Holy Origin Sect will definitely not let him go."

"High skill breeds daring. Since this person dared to kill a disciple of the Holy Origin Sect, who knows what his background is?"

"Tsk tsk, it seems I made the right choice coming to this demon hunt. There's going to be some excitement to watch."

Some martial artists who were unaware of the details were startled upon hearing the discussions among the crowd.

I thought Su Chen's outrageous words were shocking enough, but what he actually did was even more astonishing.

How dare they kill a true disciple of the Holy Origin Sect! This is a complete disregard for the dignity of the Holy Origin Sect.

For a moment, everyone looked at Su Chen with a hint of solemnity. If such a ruthless person died, that would be fine, but if he didn't, they had to be careful if they encountered him in the future. Unconsciously, everyone had already listed Su Chen as a troublesome person in this demon hunt.

"you……"

The handsome young man's anger at being so disrespected by Su Chen was understandable.

He frowned and stared at Su Chen with a chilling killing intent in his eyes.

"Heh, well done, Su Chen. You're so young, yet you've got quite the nerve. I hope you'll still be this arrogant after you enter the Demon Cave!"

Finally, the handsome young man composed himself, gave a cold smile, and said to Su Chen.

Su Chen shrugged, not even glancing at the other person. He had heard of similar dangers many times and didn't care at all.

However, the handsome young man did not notice that a cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes the moment he turned around.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's activate the grand formation."

Finally, it was Wu Mo who broke the silence, and no one objected.

As Wu Mo spoke, eighteen martial artists stepped forward one after another, among whom Lu Hai was prominently featured.

The eighteen people each stood at a corner of the great formation, and then obeyed Wu Mo's orders, waiting for Wu Mo's instructions.

Wu Mo wasted no time. He gave a light shout and issued an order, and the seventeen people simultaneously released their Yuan Power and poured it into the great formation.

Within a few breaths, a white light emanated from the center of the formation, rapidly expanding and spreading to a radius of one thousand meters.

At this moment, Wu Mo's voice rang out: "All disciples of the Holy Origin Sect, listen to my command! Everyone, enter the great formation!"

Immediately afterwards, the elders of the other factions also informed their disciples that the grand formation had been activated and that they could enter it.

On the Ziyang Sect's side, after hearing Elder Lu Hai's telepathic message, Xiang Cheng immediately said to everyone, "Come in with me."

Everyone was already prepared. Following behind Xiang Cheng, they transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the great formation.

The moment Su Chen entered the great formation, he felt a dizziness in his primordial spirit, and then he realized that the world had been completely renewed in that instant.

"Is this the Demon Cave?"

Su Chen looked up at the sky, which was no longer the same sky, but a dark color.

The surrounding area was a vast grassland, but the grass was as tall as a tree.

The crowd looked incredibly small in comparison.

After scanning the area, Su Chen discovered that only warriors from the Ziyang Sect were around; warriors from other factions had not been teleported together with the Ziyang Sect.

"I will lead the team from now on. Anyone who wants to leave the team can do so now."

Xiangcheng's voice came over, and after scanning the crowd and confirming that the number of people was correct, he addressed the group.

His gaze was focused on Yun Xi, because he knew that Yun Xi would definitely not team up with them.

Sure enough, Yun Xi was the first to step down from the group: "I can manage on my own."

After Yun Xi finished speaking, she turned to look at Su Chen, and everyone's eyes followed her to Su Chen.

They were aware of the bet between the two.

However, Su Chen's attention was not on Yun Xi at the moment, but on observing the surrounding environment.

He felt an eeriness in the quiet surroundings, and a sense of unease crept into his heart. Noticing the gazes of the others, Su Chen spoke up, "I'm also prepared to go alone."

As Yunxi and Su Chen spoke, more and more people left the group.

However, they weren't as daring as Su Chen and his companion. The reason they left the team was to team up with familiar friends.

Before long, everyone had formed their own teams and completed the task.

Xiang Cheng led Robin and the others away in a random direction, and the others dispersed as well.

Soon only Yun Xi and Su Chen remained on the scene.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Yunxi asked, seeing Su Chen still standing there in a daze.

Su Chen retorted, "You didn't leave either."

He channeled his inner energy, intending to fly into the sky to check the situation.

But as soon as he took off, he noticed something strange: his Yuan energy was severely blocked, affecting his flight.

"The Demon Cave greatly restricts the flow of Yuan energy. In the Ten Directions World, you may be able to fly easily, but in the Demon World, not only will your flying speed and distance be reduced, but even your flying altitude will be lower. I think you shouldn't waste your energy."

Yunxi explained that flying in the Demon Cave is a very energy-consuming activity.

She wouldn't fly unless absolutely necessary.

Although she didn't know what Su Chen was planning to do, she still spoke up to remind him.

Su Chen suddenly realized what was going on, but he didn't give up easily because the unease in his heart was getting worse.

So he directly adjusted the primordial power, transforming it into demonic power. Although he couldn't achieve a 100% conversion, it was at least 99% similar.

As expected, the moment the Primordial Chaos Power transformed, Su Chen felt that the Demon Cave's suppression of him had weakened by more than half, and had even turned into an aid.

He quickly took to the air.

Upon seeing this, Yunxi's pretty face froze, and a look of surprise and doubt appeared in her eyes.

If she hadn't been certain that Su Chen was human, she would have definitely thought he was a demon incarnate, given the demon-like aura emanating from him.

"This guy has quite a few secrets!"

Yun Xi chuckled softly, watching Su Chen fly into the sky.

Without wasting any more time, she turned to leave. Instead of choosing the same direction as everyone else, she chose a path no one else was taking. After all, there were roads in all directions, so Yunxi didn't care which one she chose.

But she hadn't gone far when she suddenly saw Su Chen land quickly and come to stand in front of her.

Su Chen looked anxious. Before Yun Xi could speak, he said urgently, "Hurry up and leave! I see mountains and seas of demons rushing this way!"

"It's a demon tide!"

Upon hearing this, Yunxi was immediately startled and instantly realized what Su Chen had seen.

It's a demon tide!
Her expression immediately turned serious; she hadn't expected that they would encounter a demonic tide so soon after arriving.

"Where?" Yunxi asked.

Su Chen pointed behind her and said, "It's here."

How far is it from here?

"It will take at most the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to get there!"

The two of them asked and answered questions.

Just then, a scream rang out from the grassland: "A demonic tide has appeared! All Ziyang Sect disciples, run northeast!"

It was Xiangcheng's voice; he had also discovered the demonic tide.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi disregarded the consumption of her Yuan energy and soared into the air, where she indeed noticed a large shadow approaching from afar.

The countless demons, like a sky full of yellow sand, were a horrifying sight wherever they went, chilling the hearts of all who beheld them.

Regardless of the strength of these demons, their sheer number is enough to wear them down to death.

"Huh? He... he just left like that?"

After confirming what Su Chen and Xiang Cheng had said, Yun Xi was about to land when she suddenly noticed that Su Chen was running off in another direction without looking back.

Upon seeing this, she stood there stunned for several seconds, completely bewildered.

No, he just ran away like that? He actually ran away right in front of me?

Su Chen had no idea what Yun Xi was thinking. Anyway, he was just reminding her. If she didn't believe him and wanted to verify it herself, so be it. He wouldn't play along. If he didn't run away now, when would he?

Because of the power of Hunyuan, Su Chen did not need to worry about the consumption of Yuan energy, so he was able to escape with ease and quickly left everyone far behind. After running for a while, he stopped and flew into the sky to observe the raging demon tide in the distance.

In the midst of the demon tide, the strength of the demons is not actually terrifying; what is terrifying is their sheer number. Even a martial artist at the peak of the Divine Power realm would face only one outcome when confronted with so many demons: certain death.

"My primordial power can be disguised as demonic power, which can be used to infiltrate the demons and make it easier for me to carry out my mission!"

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought. Although he had some ideas, he knew that now was not the time, after all, there were quite a few supernatural martial artists who had been trampled to death.

"Hmm? Besides the Ziyang Sect, there are several other sects that have been teleported here. Judging from their appearance, they must have also discovered the demon tide."

During his observation of the demon tide, Su Chen also saw some martial artists from other forces fleeing in the same direction. Unbeknownst to them, they had gathered together to avoid the demon tide.

When encountering a demonic tide, this is clearly the safest approach.

Even Xiang Cheng's team cooperated with disciples from other sects during their escape.

"not good!"

After observing for a while, Su Chen was about to land when he unexpectedly witnessed an astonishing scene.

The originally surging tide of demons suddenly had clusters of dark shadows rising above it; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be flying demons.

Compared to those running demons, these flying demons were obviously much faster.

They were getting closer and closer to their location.

Before long, these flying demons, with shadows that blotted out the sky, hurtled toward the group.

As everyone looked up, they saw the demons that covered half the sky.

Similarly, the flying demons also saw the fleeing group.

Roar!
With a roar, the flying demon quickly locked its gaze on the fleeing group, swooping down and attacking them repeatedly.

Some sharp-eyed demons even noticed Su Chen not far away and rushed towards him.

Seeing this, Su Chen did not run away. These demons were very fast, and even if he ran away now, he might not be able to escape.

So he simply stopped running.
Seeing the flying demons hurtling towards him, Su Chen advanced instead of retreating, transforming into a streak of light and crashing into the horde of demons.

In an instant, he attracted the attention of the demons, and all eyes turned to Su Chen.

A massacre ensued! (End of Chapter)
