"Can't run away."

----

Bai Qian stood before the old man, whose aged face was covered in cold sweat. He stood there staring at the stick in the girl's hand, not daring to utter a single word.

"But there is still a Demon Supervisor here, you can't escape." A faint voice came from her ear, and when she heard this voice, cold sweat poured down her back.

Bai Qian gently bent the skewer in her hand and tilted her head.

A flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the quiet, raining sky, illuminating the girl's delicate yet somewhat pale profile.

"Are you this so-called Demon Supervisor?" she asked suspiciously.

This was supposed to be at 10 o'clock, but it ended up being a little late QAQ

There will be three more updates to come.

Please continue reading!

Volume 1: 226. What are you saying?

Bai Qian secretly followed Bai Yao and Bai Xing, but Bai Yao and Bai Xing came to see Bai Xing, while Bai Qian simply came to take a look.

Without revealing their presence, they ignored Bai Xing, who was sitting in the courtyard, and went straight to the demon hiding behind the courtyard.

Before arriving, I could already clearly sense the demonic aura in the courtyard—two meridian-connecting entities and one divine intent entity.

The two cultivators with the Tongmai technique were standing in the courtyard, presumably about to attack Bai Yao and the other person, but Bai Qian didn't care much.

In Bai Qian's eyes, these two meridians were nothing to worry about; even if she didn't take action, Bai Yao could handle them.

As for this divine intent, it barely reaches the [Observation] level.

The four stages of divine will: [observation], [contemplation], [difficulty], and [calamity].

Although Bai Qian hadn't really experienced these four stages, by the time she learned about this so-called classification, she was already at the [Tribulation]. According to Ling Xi, she was only one step away from the fourth realm, although she still had no clue how to take that step.

Standing in front of the old man, looking at his forehead covered in cold sweat, Bai Qian straightened the bent stick again.

If we're only talking about power, there's absolutely nothing about the demons in front of Bai Qian that can pique her interest. Their so-called divine will [observation] is essentially no different from the divine will demons of the Qinglang Gang she encountered before, having been forcibly raised through unknown means.

It doesn't arouse any interest.

"What is a Demon Supervisor?" Bai Qian asked curiously as she stood in the dimly lit room, listening to the man's slightly arrogant voice from the courtyard.

The old man opposite her didn't speak; apart from cold sweat dripping down his forehead, he truly didn't dare to move.

As a demon sent by the Hundred Demon Pavilion to investigate intelligence, its supernatural power is actually very simple: it can simply detect information and sense auras.

It doesn't seem to have much combat power, but it doesn't need to. The powerful ones will take action, and the weak ones can be dealt with regardless of whether they have supernatural powers or not.

On the contrary, it was this ability to sense auras to judge good or bad fortune that saved its life several times. It could be said that it trusted its own supernatural powers more than the commands of the group of great demons above.

At this moment, his own supernatural powers were telling him something.

dying.

There was no extra information; it simply told itself that.

I'm about to die. There's no exact time for "about to die." It could be the next second, the next breath, or even the next hour, but it certainly won't be delayed until tomorrow.

"Demon Supervisors are the classification of demons within the Hundred Demon Pavilion. Demons like me are Demon Supervisors. Demon Supervisors are also divided into major and minor. Major Demon Supervisors are basically demons of the [Difficult] level or above." The old man answered quickly, as if a knife was held to his neck, though it was almost the same, or even worse.

“If you behave and come with us, I won’t do anything to you. After all, Liangdu still needs you. You are very precious. But if you don’t obey…” Bai Xing’s faint voice continued to echo in the dark room.

"Then I can't guarantee that. The Demon Supervisor is watching. If it gets angry, it won't look good for anyone." Bai Xing's smug voice drifted into the room.

The old man stiffened upon hearing its words, regretting that he hadn't just crushed the thing to death earlier. Whoever wanted to be the demon overseer you were talking about could be the one.

"The demon guards are those demons who have reached the second stage of human transformation."

Bai Qian was still intrigued by what the old man said. She casually twirled the wooden skewer left over from eating the candied hawthorn, and with a casual flick, the skewer drew a graceful arc in the air.

The old man's right hand drooped down, the tendons in his hand severed by the skewer, and the move he had just prepared was rendered useless.

"And what about further up?"

"They usually call him the Demon King." The old man was thinking of a way to survive. Hoping that the person opposite him would let him go was definitely impossible; he could only save himself.

"What use is she?" she continued, referring to Bai Yao. It seemed that the Hundred Demon Pavilion had come to capture Bai Yao more than once or twice, and Bai Qian was quite curious about this matter.

The old man didn't answer the question because he didn't know either, and to be on the safe side, he didn't give a direct answer.

"According to the instructions from above, she should be taken to Taiheng City, which has already been divided between us and the Liansheng Sect."

"I never heard that the formation has already been set up."

Bai Qian tilted her head upon hearing this. Another new place name. An array? [Chen Yao Tongtian Array]?

Looking at the old man, he wanted to ask more questions.

But the old man suddenly moved, and his body swelled up in an instant, with gray-white fur growing out of his hunched, emaciated body.

Ape demon? Bai Qian could tell at first glance what kind of demon the old man was.

It revealed its true form, but instead of resisting, it immediately tried to smash through the wall next to it.

Answer honestly, hoping Bai Qian will let it go?

If they can break through this wall, they'll have a chance to escape using the techniques they've learned...

The wall, which should have been easily smashed, now seemed as solid as cast iron, remaining completely still.

It paused for a moment, then wanted to try bumping into it again.

The woman in green walked up to it, stepping on its shadow, and pierced its Achilles tendon with a wooden stick.

His body lost its balance, and his two Achilles tendons were carelessly severed.

The shadow of death loomed over him in that instant. As he watched the girl pick up the slender skewer, it suddenly swung its hand, and demonic energy formed sharp claws from mid-air.

Bai Qian bent down, her hair falling down, and dodged the claw attack.

Stand on tiptoe and raise your hand.

The skewer sank deep into the ape demon's eyeball. The fingers holding the skewer twirled it twice, and the blood-dripping eyeball was strung up by the skewer.

It let out a pained roar. No matter how calm a demon is, with its eyes ripped out, it certainly wouldn't be able to stay calm.

But Bai Qian will calm it down.

The remaining tendon was casually severed, the limbs fell silent, and it lay on the ground, its remaining eye staring in terror at the girl in green before it.

The girl's long sleeves hung down, and bright red blood slowly dripped from the nearly ruined skewer.

Bai Qian squatted on the ground, her white stockings stained with bright red blood. Her long sleeves rested on her fair, flesh-colored knees, and she looked down at the ape demon.

"We can discuss this further. You can ask me anything, and I'll tell you everything," the ape demon said honestly.

Bai Qian watched it quietly. She picked up the skewer, her sleeve hanging down and rubbing against the blood-stained fur of the ape demon. It quickly closed its remaining eye.

"Open your eyes." A cold voice rang out, like a command from supreme authority, causing it to involuntarily open its eyes.

The beast's bloodshot eyes were wide open, and it could see the rough surface of the skewer and its almost bent tail.

Fresh blood spurted out the moment the skewer touched the eyeball.

It stopped thinking.

The skewer pierced its skull, following the direction of its eyeball.

The dim firelight illuminated its face and empty eye sockets. The eyeballs strung on the skewer seemed to loosen, slipping off the skewer and falling to the floor, rolling twice and leaving a clearly visible mark.

The girl squatted on the ground, her white shoes soaked in blood, staring blankly at the broken skewer.

"There's one last chance. Otherwise, if that lord intervenes, Lord Bai Yao, you might be alright, but Master Wu, I'm not sure you'll survive." The man's slightly arrogant voice could still be heard outside.

He tilted his head and mumbled something.

----

Wu Ning was struggling to deal with the two demons in front of her. She was a martial artist at the second level of the Meridian Opening Realm, so dealing with other transformed demons at the same level was definitely not a problem, but it didn't mean she could easily handle two of them.

She is still able to persevere, but given the current situation, she is unsure how much longer she can hold on.

The two demons opposite her seemed to be playing around and weren't taking it seriously. If they were to get serious, she wasn't sure if she could last even a minute.

And there's this so-called "demon supervisor" that Bai Xing keeps talking about.

He turned to look at Bai Yao behind him, hoping she could come up with a solution, but found that she seemed to be thinking about something and didn't seem to be looking at him at all.

Bai Xing looked at Bai Yao and the other person opposite him, and the gloom on his face had faded. After all, no matter what, the advantage was on his side now.

In truth, if there were only these two demon guards, they might have escaped.

Fortunately, there was still a demon overseer behind them, like a pillar of strength, so no matter what happened, no one would be afraid.

He sought refuge with the Hundred Demon Pavilion precisely for this sense of security.

If I bring Bai Yao back now, I might even have a chance to become a third-realm cultivator through the demon's ritual.

Thinking this, and looking at Wu Ning who was still resisting, he was still a little anxious.

"There's one last chance. Otherwise, if that person intervenes, Lord Bai Yao, you might be alright, but as for you, Master Wu, I'm not sure you'll survive." He tried to continue disrupting Wu Ning's actions with his words.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ning hesitated for a moment.

He was delighted to see this and was about to continue speaking.

The sound of the wall shattering was as loud as thunder in his ears, and a figure crashed through the wall and rolled to his feet.

He paused, then subconsciously looked at the corpse that had rolled to his feet.

Empty eye sockets stared at him, red and white blood mixed together, flowing down the eye sockets onto the grayish-white fur and the ground. The ape demon's corpse was placed in front of him.

what is this?

His mind went blank. He must have figured out what it was, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Cool raindrops pattered on my skin, and a chill rose from my heart.

He felt a chilling gaze emanating from the broken wall.

Please keep reading! The author will do anything to keep you reading, please! Oh, thank you!

Volume 1: 227. Today's demons will never be left to be killed tomorrow.

Bai Qian stood still, while Bai Yao stood in front of her, scrutinizing her with kind eyes.

The corpses of the two demons lay nearby. These two were rather unlucky; just as the ape demon's corpse rolled to Bai Xing's feet, they must have been startled and started running away.

Instead of rushing towards Bai Qian, it tried to run directly out of the courtyard, probably wanting to escape.

The result was that before they could do anything, their heads exploded and they lay on the ground.

It's kind of pitiful, isn't it? They really don't know anything.

As for Bai Xing? Upon seeing the ape demon's corpse rolling to his feet, he immediately collapsed to the ground. It wasn't that Bai Qian had done anything to him; he was simply overcome with fear and his legs gave way, causing him to kneel on the ground.

Now, with his limbs limp to the side, there's no need to do anything specifically to him. He just lies there timidly, not daring to move or even breathe, for fear that a few breaths will cause his head to explode like those two demons.

After seeing the ape demon's corpse, if given the chance to take back what he had said, he would probably do anything to do so.

No one dared to look Bai Qian in the eye, as if she were some kind of terrifying being beyond words.

Of course, he was afraid.

In fact, the person who started all of this isn't in a good position either.

"Have you finished writing your diary?" Bai Yao asked Bai Qian.

To be honest, seeing Bai Qian suddenly appear was surprising, but it also seemed to be within reason.

Bai Qian blinked upon hearing this.

"Hmm." It was a rather vague tone, and it was unclear whether it was confirmation or something else entirely.

"Did you write it yourself?"

Bai Qian nodded without saying anything.
