White Water County, new recruit camp.
Xu Kui sat in his tent, attending to military affairs.
"I wonder where that kid ran off to?"
"He's in the hands of the Demon Slayer Division now. This is troublesome!"
Xu Kui handled the military affairs with bamboo slips, but his mood was extremely irritable.
The events of last night were arranged by him and the Bewitching Envoys personally.
The purpose was to capture Wang Xuan, and then he would secretly arrange to send Wang Xuan to the main altar.
But in the middle of it all.
Li Qingyi suddenly broke in and took Wang Xuan away, which made Xu Kui very annoyed.
Li Qingyi was a member of the Demon Slayer Division.
If it discovers the Soul-Devouring Mark on Wang Xuan, then there will be trouble!
"Forget it, this matter has exceeded my control. Now I can only let the Holy Envoy take action!"
Shaking his head, Xu Kui stopped thinking about it.
But at this moment, his face suddenly changed, and a strange feeling came from his chest.
"This aura... it's the Holy Envoy!"
"No, the Holy Envoy should be presiding over the sacred ceremony in Chillshadow Gulch. How could it appear here?"
Xu Kui frowned.
"Regardless of whether it is the Holy Envoy or not, should I go out and take a look first?"
Xu Kui immediately got up and left the camp.
"I'm going out for a while, you guys guard here!"
Xu Kui instructed his two subordinates, then immediately left the new recruit camp and went in the direction of the sensed aura.
Soon.
Xu Kui entered Blackwind Mountain.
Before long, a figure appeared in Xu Kui's field of vision.
"Hmm? It's that kid!"
Xu Kui's eyes suddenly narrowed!
This figure was Wang Xuan!
After returning to White Water County, Wang Xuan pretended to be released by Li Qingyi and walked down from Blackwind Mountain all the way.
"Wasn't this kid taken away by the Demon Slayer Division? Why would he appear here?"
"Could it be that the Demon Slayer Division released him?"
Xu Kui was very cautious and did not act immediately.
Wang Xuan walked all the way in the mountains and forests, muttering curses.
"That Centurion is really something!"
"He could have just let me go, but he had to have someone bring me out, and even brought me to Blackwind Mountain!"
"I'm going to be exhausted after walking all night!"
Wang Xuan cursed, kicking a roadside stone apart.
"But luckily, after walking all night, I'm finally back!"
"It's just a pity that I can't go back to the new recruit camp, I can only go back to the Centurion's place!"
"Damn it, the Soaring Dragon Assembly's matter, I missed it just like that!"
"That Lu Qing, who the hell is he!"
"If I encounter anyone from the Pity Life Sect, I will definitely kill him!"
Wang Xuan walked and cursed all the way, his voice echoing in the mountains and forests.
On the other side.
Xu Kui's eyes narrowed when he heard Wang Xuan's curses.
"Hmm? Did Yang Tianfeng deliberately have someone take him away?"
Xu Kui was shocked.
He knew that Yang Tianfeng valued Wang Xuan, but he didn't expect that Wang Xuan was taken away by Yang Tianfeng himself!
But it makes sense, Yang Tianfeng used to be a member of the Imperial Capital's Black Tortoise Camp, so it's not difficult to get acquainted with people from the Demon Slayer Division.
The Demon Slayer Division has great power, and even if the higher-ups knew about it, no one would pursue this trivial matter of taking away an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Xu Kui's face revealed a cold smile.
"What luck!"
"Yang Tianfeng, oh Yang Tianfeng!"
"I didn't expect you to personally deliver him!"
"This saves me the trouble!"
Xu Kui muttered, lowering his guard.
He strode forward, walking towards Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan was walking when he suddenly heard footsteps.
Immediately after, he saw Xu Kui!
His expression changed, and he said nervously, "Xu (Company Commander), you... why are you here!"
Wang Xuan looked nervous, as if he was about to run away.
Xu Kui looked at Wang Xuan coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Wang Xuan, weren't you going to find evidence? Why are you here?"
Wang Xuan pretended to be flustered and stammered, "I, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly ran away!
Xu Kui was stunned by this.
"Why are you running? Centurion asked me to pick you up. Come with me!"
Xu Kui said loudly.
But he strode after him, extremely fast!
Wang Xuan ran and replied, "Company Commander Xu, no need to trouble yourself, I'll go back myself!"
Xu Kui put one hand behind his back and sneered when he heard this.
"You run so slowly, when will you be able to go back? You should come with me!"
Without another word, Xu Kui stretched out a large hand.
Vast Blood Essence surged, and Xu Kui had actually condensed a trace of Source Energy in advance, turning it into a large hand that grabbed towards Wang Xuan out of thin air!
Sensing Xu Kui's large hand grabbing, Wang Xuan drew his bow and arrow!
Copper Skin Iron Bones!
Five Stars in a Row!
Soul-Chasing Arrow!
In an instant, he directly used his strongest power!
The arrow light pierced out, piercing through the Source Energy hand with a bang!
Xu Kui did not expect Wang Xuan to attack!
Moreover, the power that erupted in an instant was enough to kill someone in the Dragon Serpent Realm. The arrow light shot towards his head, grazing his cheek.
A bloody mark instantly appeared on his face!
Xu Kui touched his face, looked at the little blood that flowed out, and his smile became even brighter.
"As expected of the Human Pill valued by Holy Envoy!"
"He's only at the Iron Skin realm, yet he can unleash such power. It must be a special bloodline!"
Xu Kui laughed hideously.
Wang Xuan pretended to be panicked when he heard this and said, "Company Commander Xu, what do you mean? What Human Pill? What Holy Envoy?"
Xu Kui strode closer, his smile sinister, "What do I mean? Of course... to become a sacrifice for my Holy Sect!"
"Give up resisting!"
"You can't escape!"
At this moment, Xu Kui no longer concealed it.
A billowing demonic aura rose from his body!
Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed as he sensed the demonic aura within him!
"Xu Kui, I didn't expect you to really be a Demon-Human of the Pity Life Sect!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Kui's expression changed drastically!
The next moment!
He instinctively felt danger and immediately retreated, but as he retreated, a sword light suddenly appeared from the forest!
Puchi!
Xu Kui's abdomen was pierced by the sword light, and blood spurted out!
"Li Qingyi!"
Xu Kui clutched his abdomen, his voice filled with terror.
Before he could finish speaking, Li Qingyi suddenly appeared before him, a palm striking down with immense force!
Bang!
Xu Kui was suppressed to his knees, all the power within him sealed, leaving him unable to resist in the slightest!
Li Qingyi turned to look at Wang Xuan, saying, "You could have just directly apprehended him. Why insist on doing it this way?"
Wang Xuan, panting heavily, replied, "I needed him to expose himself first. If he wasn't the one, it would have been difficult to explain."
Wang Xuan walked to Li Qingyi's side, his gaze coldly fixed on Xu Kui kneeling on the ground.
Xu Kui, kneeling there, felt the power within him being sealed. Hearing the exchange between Wang Xuan and Li Qingyi, he instantly understood what was happening.
He looked up at Wang Xuan and asked, "How did you know my identity?"
Xu Kui was baffled.
It would be normal if Li Qingyi knew, since Wang Xuan carried the Soul-Devouring Mark, and Li Qingyi could have noticed with careful observation!
But he had never revealed his identity in the slightest.
Wang Xuan said coldly, "When I killed Lu Qing last night, I kept wondering how he managed to get into the military camp!"
"Later, we went to Zhou Laifu's house and found another altar you had set up beneath it."
"And of course, we ran into some of your people!"
Hearing this, Xu Kui's pupils contracted.
"So that's how it is."
"Li Qingyi, it seems you already noticed something was wrong when you came to the military camp yesterday!"
"But you're wasting your time."
"No matter what you ask, I won't say a thing."
Xu Kui said coldly.
Having his identity exposed didn't seem to cause him much panic. Instead, he seemed resigned.
Wang Xuan shrugged upon hearing this, and looked at Li Qingyi.
"This is your specialty."
"But don't kill him. We need to take him back to see Yang Tianfeng!"
Li Qingyi frowned slightly.
Xu Kui's expression changed upon hearing this, as if he had realized something, and he cried out in terror, "What... what do you want to do?!"
"Ah!!!"
