Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Escape

"Why haven’t we seen the owner of this house?" Yan Rufeng asked.

"They’ve already disappeared," Wen JiaRen replied.

"Disappeared?" Yan Rufeng exclaimed.

"Rufeng, it’s not just this household. People in an area spanning hundreds of miles have mysteriously vanished, and all the livestock have turned into skeletons without exception," Lu Mingliang said anxiously.

"The situation is very serious."

Yan Rufeng furrowed his brows and said, "Elder Chuyunzi, immediately conduct a thorough search of the entire Kunlun Mountain area."

Chuyunzi immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate.

"Sect Master, there’s something unusual in a cave on a mountain peak five hundred kilometers from here," he reported.

Yan Rufeng hurriedly said, "Lingtian, first escort Generals Wen and Lu back to the base. Elder Chuyunzi and I will head to that peak to investigate."

"Understood," Ye Lingtian responded loudly.

Chuyunzi leaped into the air and vanished before everyone, with Yan Rufeng quickly following.

Deep in the Kunlun Mountain Range, the snow-covered peaks glowed faintly silver under the night sky. It was hard to notice the small cave on the snowy peak without careful observation.

Outside the cave, wisps of black gas slowly seeped out, adding an eerie and terrifying atmosphere to the silent night. Chuyunzi, the first to arrive, floated down outside the cave. With a quick formation of hand seals, a Spiritual Energy Barrier instantly enveloped the entire peak.

"What demon is causing trouble here? Come out and face your death," Chuyunzi shouted.

Inside the cave, a young man with two horns on his head, dressed in black, was recklessly absorbing a herdsman’s Essence. Upon hearing Chuyunzi’s challenge from outside, he took a deep breath, and the herdsman turned into a dried corpse.

"The aura of a Cultivator."

"Haha..."

The man in black sneered, "I’ve long grown tired of absorbing the Essence of these mortals. Today, I’ll change my flavor and improve my meal."

"Ha ha ha..."

After a burst of eerie laughter, the man in black appeared beside Chuyunzi.

"Didn’t expect it to be an old man. Even if he’s a Cultivator, I bet he doesn’t taste that good."

The man in black shook his head in slight dissatisfaction.

Chuyunzi scrutinized the young man in front of him, confusion filling his heart. "This person has horns and is covered in dark aura, neither a demon nor an evil spirit. Could this be a new species produced by heaven and earth?"

"Old man!"

The man in black called loudly.

Out of curiosity, Chuyunzi refrained from attacking but remained vigilant. He calmly said, "Are you calling me?"

"Of course I am. It’s just the two of us here. Who else would I be calling?"

Chuyunzi wasn’t angered and smiled slightly, "Before I capture you, I want to know what kind of demon you are and why you’re causing trouble in my Huaxia."

"Elder Chuyunzi, he’s not a demon; he’s Zhang Mingdong," Yan Rufeng said as he slowly landed beside Chuyunzi.

"Haha..."

"Zhang Mingdong, how could I be that weakling?"

Only then did Yan Rufeng notice the horns on Zhang Mingdong’s head and exclaimed, "This is bad. He’s not Zhang Mingdong; he’s from the Demon World."

"You really have sharp eyes. I am the Heavenly Demon Venerable Sage from the Demon World!"

"Heavenly Demon Venerable Sage?"

Yan Rufeng was startled, vivid memories of an event in the Cultivation World surfacing in his mind.

"Yan Rufeng, in my next life, I, the Heavenly Demon Venerable Sage, will stand at the top of the world, stepping over your corpse."

With piercing eyes, Yan Rufeng wielded a Fake Immortal Sword and with a single thrust, severed the demon’s head...

"Strange, didn’t I behead the Heavenly Demon in my past life? Could it be that he has been reborn on Earth as well?" Yan Rufeng muttered to himself.

"Haha..."

"Yan Rufeng, you didn’t expect that by crippling Zhang Mingdong, you’d accidentally create me, the Heavenly Demon Venerable Sage."

"Hehe..."

Yan Rufeng sneered, "Heavenly Demon, if you were truly capable, you wouldn’t have needed to devour Zhang Mingdong’s soul and possess his body."

Yan Rufeng’s words stung the Heavenly Demon deeply, revealing that Yan Rufeng was aware of his weakness. He hadn’t expected that after being sealed for ten thousand years, someone in this world would still know so much about him.

"Yan Rufeng, I have now cultivated my Demon Body, and my horns have grown. My cultivation has reached the Little Demon King realm. I was thinking of visiting Zhongzhou to find you later, but since you’re here now, don’t expect to leave," the Heavenly Demon said sternly.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Heavenly Demon, if we hadn’t discovered you today and let you grow for a while longer, you’d indeed be hard to deal with. But now, with your current cultivation level, you don’t stand a chance."

"Haha..."

"My cultivation isn’t enough to concern you?"

The Heavenly Demon sneered, "Yan Rufeng, you’re just a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, yet you dare spout such nonsense. I’ll show you now how I can kill this old man in your presence."

In Chuyunzi’s era, there were only demons, not devils. The terror of devils was only known through the words of predecessors.

Chuyunzi had always concealed his cultivation, never releasing his pressure. He hadn’t expected the Heavenly Demon to be so reckless as to boast about killing him—something no one had dared to say to Chuyunzi in the past three hundred years.

Chuyunzi was angry now, and the consequences would be severe.

"Mind your manners."

Chuyunzi chanted a spell and then bellowed, "Xuantian Demon Suppressing Spell."

Instantly, a talisman paper shot from Chuyunzi’s hand, and golden light illuminated the night. Enveloped in the golden light, the Heavenly Demon was shocked, "What spell is this? How can it be so powerful? Wasn’t it said that Yan Rufeng had the highest cultivation in this world? How could this old man suddenly exhibit Emergence Stage strength? Damn it, I’ve been ruined by that weakling Zhang Mingdong..."

The Heavenly Demon was immediately subdued by the Demon-suppressing Talisman, unable to move at all.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Heavenly Demon, you’re always so arrogant. Didn’t expect to run into trouble this time, did you?"

The Heavenly Demon’s face reddened with shame, and he roared in anger, "Yan Rufeng, I’ve been sealed by the Seven Great Saints for ten thousand years. How could a young person like you know so much about me?"

Now it was Yan Rufeng’s turn to be puzzled, "What? He was sealed by the Seven Great Saints? Aren’t they the same Heavenly Demon? Why are they so similar..."

Yan Rufeng couldn’t make sense of it and decided not to dwell on it. He calmly said, "Elder Chuyunzi, to prevent future troubles, let’s behead the Heavenly Demon."

The Spirit Sword had already been summoned, and a thunderous sword cry pierced the night...

"No, I just completed my Demon Body..."

The Heavenly Demon cried out in despair.

"Thud..."

The Heavenly Demon’s head fell onto the snow and rolled down the slope, a dense black aura emanating from it, quickly burrowing into the ground.

A muffled voice followed.

"Yan Rufeng, you’ve destroyed my Demon Body. I will be your nemesis. Just you wait..."
