My brother is so cunning

Chapter 983 Escape with Ease
Yun Zhongzi said coldly, "Are you threatening me with the lives of mortals? As expected of a demon who can hold office in a human town, you are indeed cunning. I cannot fight you here. Consider this your lucky escape. Go! But even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely bring you back!"

Unlike most immortals, Yun Zhongzi is one of the few immortals who values ​​the lives of all living beings and is most unwilling to harm the innocent.

"Why should I run away?"

The cat demon exclaimed in surprise, "I am the magistrate of a county. This is my official residence, my county seat. I still have a group of trainee officials to guide, and I still have a lot of people to take care of! After dealing with you, I still have a lot of official business to attend to!"

Her tone didn't seem fake, which surprised Yun Zhongzi. He had never seen such a self-aware demon before.

Of course, it's normal for monsters to be arrogant, but it's often because they don't recognize true immortals and think that the opponents they face are of low level.

Yun Zhongzi had already displayed the supreme immortal power of the Golden Immortal realm. The cat demon was not blind either. It clearly knew that the gap between the two realms was huge, but it showed an attitude that victory would not be difficult. This made Yun Zhongzi completely unable to understand.

"I'm just saying that this isn't a suitable place for a duel, and we can find another place to have it."

The cat demon patiently explained, "If it weren't for your high cultivation level, I wouldn't have had such reservations. I would have subdued you and handed you over to the Demon Alliance's Internal Affairs Department long ago. Since you don't want to involve mortals, then come with me to a secluded spot in the mountains outside the city to fight in a different place."

Although Yun Zhongzi found it strange, he did not object, since the cat demon's suggestion was exactly what he wanted to hear.

Seeing that he remained silent, the cat demon took it as his tacit agreement, walked to the window, opened it, waved to him, and then leaped out of the window.

Fearing that the cat demon was using delaying tactics to escape, Yun Zhongzi quickly flew out of the window and soared into the air on auspicious clouds.

The cat demon did not ride the clouds, nor did it control the wind like ordinary demon kings. Instead, it floated in the air like a swallow, gliding away into the distance.

The cat demon's flying method was unprecedented. Yun Zhongzi guessed that it was probably some kind of unique demon race talent or supernatural ability. Without thinking too much about it, he followed after it.

Puna's flight method is actually the anti-gravity engine function of the Iron Man armor, which allows the wearer to move through the air at high speed, ignoring gravity, just like Superman.

The cat demon was not flying fast; it was clearly waiting for Yun Zhongzi to catch up so it could lead him into the distant mountains and forests.

Despite the risks of being ambushed and trapped, Yun Zhongzi was highly skilled and daring, completely unafraid of falling into any traps, and closely followed the cat demon in flight.

Yun Zhongzi believed that even if the cat demon lured him into a formation or brought in demon immortals to help him attack, he could easily break through it.

As they flew, they gradually moved away from the town and arrived above a mountain forest. The cat demon hovered in mid-air, seemingly choosing this place as the battlefield.

Yun Zhongzi also stopped in the air and used his divine sense to sense the surrounding area within a hundred miles, but he really couldn't detect any human presence.

Not only were there no signs of human presence, but no hidden magic arrays or ambushing monsters were also detected. The cat demon hadn't lied; it really had simply found a secluded place suitable for a magical duel.

Yun Zhongzi has always harbored a deep prejudice against the demon race, stemming from the immense calamities that the fox spirit Daji caused to humanity when she wreaked havoc on the Shang Dynasty.

In his confrontation with the fox spirit Daji, he also learned firsthand about the cunning of the demon race.

Once bitten, twice shy; from then on, he believed that there could be no good monsters in the world.

But the cat demon's words and actions far exceeded his preconceived notions.

If it wasn't a deliberate trap to lure him here, then he truly cares for all living beings and doesn't want to harm the innocent. To be able to unconsciously generate such good intentions, even if he's a demon, he can't be all that bad.

Yun Zhongzi secretly made a plan: based on this alone, he could not recklessly kill her in this battle; he had to spare her life no matter what.

"Let's stay here. If we fly too far, it will take up my office time if I fly back."

Before Yun Zhongzi could speak, the cat demon spoke first: "Cultivator, I will give you one more chance. My armor has a built-in projection function. If you want to watch a documentary to understand the situation, I will show it to you immediately."

“Once you fight me, whether you hurt me or not, you will have violated the laws of the Demon Alliance. How to deal with you is not up to me, a mere special post county magistrate.”

"What documentary, what projection, it's nothing but illusion and sorcery. Even if I watch it, I might not believe you."

Yun Zhongzi said with a stern face, "I have seen demon sages who are even more skilled at bewitching people than you. Do you think I would be so easily fooled?"

"As for you, you demon, your nature is still acceptable. You haven't done anything to harm people. If you surrender, I will question you thoroughly and find out exactly how your demon kingdom was established through cunning and force, and I might spare your life."

The cat demon spread its hands and shook its head helplessly, saying, "You human cultivators who have just come out of seclusion are all so self-righteous. You always think that you are great just because you have cultivated for a few years and can represent the Heavenly Dao and give orders."

"Fine, I've said all the right things. If you can't listen, don't blame me. If you insist on breaking the law, then make your move."

Yun Zhongzi didn't say much, but instead formed a sword incantation with his hands, only to change it into a magic incantation halfway through.

As the incantation took shape, Yun Zhongzi reached out and grabbed at the cat demon. A large hand formed from clouds and white mist appeared out of thin air and grabbed at it fiercely.

He originally intended to use his sword, but considering that the cat demon had not harmed any living beings and had a kind heart, Yun Zhongzi changed his method to using the Immortal Palm Technique.

The massive cloud of mist blotted out the sky, its palm covering an area the size of a football field, completely enveloping the cat demon. Just as the misty hand was about to close, the cat demon vanished like a ghost, becoming transparent and disappearing into the air in an instant.

The palm descended, but grasped at nothing.

Yun Zhongzi slapped his forehead, his eyes shooting out two beams of light as he activated his Heavenly Eye, a celestial technique. Under the sweep of his Heavenly Eye, he could not find any trace of the cat demon, as if she had truly vanished into the world like a soap bubble bursting.

Yun Zhongzi's divine eye can even see through the transformation techniques of the fox spirit Daji; there is no illusion in the world that can escape his divine eyes.

The divine sense of a top-tier Golden Immortal spread out, sweeping across a radius of a thousand miles, but still failed to detect a single wisp of demonic energy emanating from the cat demon.

"Oh no, have we fallen for a trap? When did she switch her real body into an illusion?"

Yun Zhongzi was filled with doubt and suspicion. He recalled the details of following the cat demon, but could not find any suspicious points or flaws.

It should be noted that Yun Zhongzi is no ordinary deity. Seeing through the fox spirit Daji's disguise is just one of his many glorious achievements. Even Wen Zhong's tried-and-true escape techniques could not evade his pursuit.

But right under his nose, an unknown demon immortal escaped unscathed, which greatly surprised him.
