Chen Tong's Sorrow

"Since we've searched everywhere nearby and haven't found anything, the sound is probably coming from inside the cave."

"But… but the two Ancestors said that no one is allowed to enter the forbidden area behind the mountain. Commander, shouldn't we notify the two Ancestors first?"

"Hmph, if we have to bother the Ancestors with everything, what use are we? Stop talking. You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look."

Sensing the surge of energy and approaching footsteps, Chen Tong knew someone had entered. Moreover, he could feel that this presence was at least that of a Golden Demon of the Golden Demon level.

"Damn it!"

Chen Tong cursed and quickened his pace. However, without the protection of his divine essence, no matter how fast he was, he was just a slightly faster snail.

"Hmm… someone's scent?"

"No good!" Chen Tong only had time to think, when a black shadow flashed before him!

Chen Tong was startled. Before he could even see what the other party looked like, the other party flicked a finger, and Chen Tong let out a scream of agony as he was shot out towards the cave entrance like a rocket!

"Bang!!"

Chen Tong smashed fiercely into a huge rock. The force was so great that it directly pulverized the rock, sending up billowing dust.

The many lesser demons guarding outside were also stunned. They looked towards the area of billowing dust with curiosity. The next second, their commander, the demon who had sent Chen Tong flying, was already suspended in the air, indifferently scrutinizing the area of dust.

"All demons, listen to my command, surround that area for me!" He pointed to the place where Chen Tong had landed.

"Yes!"

The demons were initially stunned, but upon hearing their commander's words, they didn't hesitate and quickly surrounded the area.

"Cough! Cough!"

As the dust dispersed, half of Chen Tong's face was revealed, covered in dirt, while the other half was still buried in the rubble! Chen Tong struggled to get up. He was extremely disheveled. His originally snow-white robes were covered in filthy dirt, and his dazzling, neat black hair was like a bird's nest. His handsome face, which could have made heaven and earth dim, was also bruised and swollen, with a faint trickle of blood at his lips, showing just how miserable he was.

"A human?"

Seeing Chen Tong's appearance and sensing his human aura, the demons exchanged glances! They hadn't expected there to be a human in the back mountain.

"Vile human, you dare to destroy my mountain gate and trespass into my back mountain, you truly deserve to die."

The commander, suspended in the air, descended step by step with an aura of anger and malice! At this moment, Chen Tong had finally recovered a little and looked up, clearly seeing the demon who had beaten him out.

"You're the one who deserves to die!" Chen Tong was also somewhat enraged. He felt his body and his anger intensified: "To make me like this, are you ready to face my wrath!"

"What!" The demon with the green markings on its face was stunned, then burst into laughter as if it had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

"My children, did you hear that? This lowly mortal says I should be ready to face his wrath! Heh heh…!" The demon with green markings on its face leaned down to look at Chen Tong, its face filled with amusement and disdain, its voice extremely drawn out: "Then this commander shall see how you, a lowly mortal, will make me accept your wrath!"

The surrounding demons exchanged glances, occasionally letting out cackles of mockery, ready to watch the show.

"Hmph!" Chen Tong met his provocation with a cold gaze, completely unfazed. After all, the other party wasn't qualified yet. Even though he had lost his divine essence, as a Grand Unity Divine Immortal, his pride remained.

"I'll say this once: if you don't want your West Phoenix Mountain to be wiped out, you'd best not court death."

"Hmm…?" The green-marked demon's eyes narrowed. It actually felt a trace of fear from this threat from a mortal with no divine power fluctuations! After carefully examining the other party again, it breathed a sigh of relief, certain that he was just a mortal.

"Hmph, with just you, a mortal, you dare to say you'll wipe out my West Phoenix Mountain? What audacious talk!" The green-marked demon extended its demonic hand and patted Chen Tong's cheek! "If you have the ability, try punching me."

Seeing Chen Tong remain silent, the green-marked demon became even more arrogant! "If you can't do it, don't talk big, or you might lose your life."

"Commander, should we capture this mortal first?" asked a unicorn demon that seemed to be a leader.

"What's the hurry? This commander hasn't had enough fun yet! Besides, with his mortal abilities, he shouldn't have been able to get here. He must have accomplices." The green-marked demon stretched its limbs and looked at Chen Tong, saying, "Kid, tell me honestly, and you might suffer a little less physical pain."

Chen Tong took a deep breath and closed his eyes! It seemed he couldn't avoid a beating. Damn it, I never thought I'd end up like this, truly…! Chen Tong felt a wave of sadness and frustration in his heart.

"You're asking for death!" Seeing Chen Tong remain silent and even close his eyes, the green-marked demon took it as a blatant provocation. Its anger erupted, and its Golden Demon cultivation instantly surged, with layers of black energy rippling all over its body as it struck towards Chen Tong!

A punch landed on Chen Tong's face, sending him flying dozens of meters away, crashing into the dirt. The ground even shook. Before he could recover, the green-marked demon was already in front of him and stomped directly on Chen Tong's head. With a "bang," the ground split apart for dozens of meters.

Then, the green-marked demon kicked him in the stomach. Chen Tong, along with the dirt and stones, was dragged dozens of meters away, leaving a trench in its wake. It was a truly gruesome sight.

"Heh heh!" The green-marked demon chuckled sinisterly and walked towards Chen Tong! "Mortals are just mortals. After just a few hits, they're already on their last breath. It's really not satisfying."

"Kid, I advise you to tell me everything I want to know, otherwise…!" The green-marked demon's face turned fierce, and it stomped on Chen Tong's face: "If I apply just a little more force, your head will burst like a firework, 'bang,' blooming into a dazzling spray of blood."

"Who… who knows what you want to know!" Chen Tong was bleeding from all seven orifices, gasping for breath. Honestly, no one would have guessed that this was the dignified Grand Unity Divine Immortal.

"Why did you trespass into my back mountain? Who else came in with you? Are they in the cave?" The green-marked demon asked three questions in a row.

"Heh… how would I know."

The green-marked demon's eyes narrowed! "You're courting death!" Just as he was about to crush Chen Tong's head with his foot, his Golden Demon cultivation sensed something, and he immediately turned to look towards the cave entrance.

"Sister, did a Grand Unity Golden Immortal really save you?"

"You silly girl, haven't you asked that four or five times and still not had enough?"

"Wow, I've never seen a Grand Unity Golden Immortal before. I'm so excited."
