Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a jet-black sphere.
Elder Liu's expression changed. "What is this?!"
The rat demon slammed the sphere into the ground with a bang. The sphere exploded with a deafening roar, causing the earth to shake violently. The entire Envy Fish City trembled, and dust billowed up near the well. When the dust cleared, a huge hole was seen in the net of heaven and earth, and a massive crater appeared in the ground. The rat demon had vanished without a trace.
"Elder, this..."
"It's ' Demon Devouring '." Elder Liu's expression was solemn. The so-called " Demon Devouring " is when the Demon Race collects the demonic Yao Qi that overflows during cultivation and forms a Demon Devouring Orb. The higher the cultivation level of the demon, the more Demon Power it collects, and the greater the power of the Demon Devouring Orb when it explodes.
Unexpectedly, this rat demon possessed such a thing. Judging from the power of this Demon Devouring Orb, the rat demon must have poured a lot of Demon Power into it, as it could even blast apart the Heavenly Net.
He escaped this seemingly inescapable trap; who knows what changes might occur in the future?
This is really annoying.
"Elder."
Elder Liu.
The Holy Maiden called out twice before Elder Liu came to his senses. He put away his whisk and said, "I'm going down to pursue this demon. I must kill him to prevent him from harming the people of the city again."
Liu Yu said, "It seems that two other people fell into the cave during the explosion."
Elder Liu was taken aback.
The saintess's eyes seemed to be misty with tears, due to the circulation of the Glazed Sea Heart Technique. While everyone else's vision was obscured in the dust, she could see clearly that the moment the invisibility cloak was lifted, Shen Ji and Xiao Tingyu, who were hiding near the well, were affected and fell into the cave together.
"I'll go with you."
"Holy Maiden, this..."
"It's alright." Liu Yu took out a firefly lamp. "The situation down there is unclear. It's better if I stay with the elder so we can look out for each other."
"No need--"
"We want to go too!"
Just as Elder Liu was about to dissuade Liu Yu, he Wen Zhi and Qiaoqiao walking quickly towards them.
Qiaoqiao shouted, "Holy Maiden, my senior brother has been captured by the rat demon! I must rescue him!"
Wen Zhi:...
Fortunately, the eldest brother wasn't here, otherwise he would have felt utterly humiliated.
They received a message from their second senior sister, informing them that they had fallen into a deep pit with the rat demon. How did it become that their eldest senior brother had been captured by the rat demon?
Elder Liu looked at the two suspiciously. Qiaoqiao tugged at the Holy Maiden's sleeve, "Since Elder Liu doesn't want to go, Holy Maiden, let's go then. I'm very worried about Senior Brother!"
Elder Liu:?
When did he ever stop wanting to go?!
Liu Yu nodded. "Mm."
The three of them, along with the disciples of the Glazed Sea, were actually going to abandon Elder Liu and his group and go down into the deep pit!
Elder Liu was dumbfounded. What was wrong with Qiaoqiao? Why was she acting so unpredictably?!
He's such a high-ranking elder here, doesn't she even know how to show him any respect?
But the Holy Maiden had already led her people down into the deep pit. Elder Liu panicked and hurriedly followed, "Holy Maiden, wait for me!"
Wait a minute!
I can't go!
Beneath this Envy Fish City lies a secret that must never be revealed!
The fireflies illuminated the dark bottom of the pit. The group descended into the deep pit and discovered that the bottom of the pit held a hidden secret, leading to an unknown passage.
There was no trace of the rat demon anywhere, but a faint Yao Qi emanated from the secret passage, indicating that the rat demon had left through it.
Why is there a secret passage down there?
"Could it be that the rat demon laid this trap beforehand?"
The disciples of the Glazed Sea whispered among themselves, "That rat demon didn't know we were going to ambush him, so how could he have set up a secret passage beforehand?"
The group followed the secret passage into the well. Liu Yu asked Qiaoqiao, "Why did Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Xiao appear near the well and get caught up in the explosion?"
Qiaoqiao said seriously, "Of course it's because my senior brothers and sisters care about the people in the city and want to investigate the source of the epidemic!"
"You mean, their appearance here was just a coincidence?"
Of course not!
"Hmm?" The saintess asked in surprise.
"It's not a coincidence, it's wisdom!" Qiaoqiao said, "Because my senior brothers and sisters are full of wisdom, they were able to find the location where the rat demon appeared on their very first night in the city."
"Puff."
Meeting her bright, dark eyes, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile.
This Miss Qiao, is really interesting.
Her disciples behind her were all surprised; the Holy Maiden actually smiled.
You should know that the Holy Maiden's attitude is usually cold and unapproachable; the disciples can't even remember the last time she smiled.
Just then, hurried footsteps came from behind; Elder Liu had also come down with his men.
Qiaoqiao said, "Holy Maiden, let's go quickly! Senior Brother has fallen into the hands of the rat demon, and I'm worried about him. You know, demons love to mercilessly torture righteous people like him!"
The saintess asked in confusion, "How did you know that?"
Qiaoqiao said, "That's how it's written in the storybooks."
When talking to Qiaoqiao, Liu Yu's upturned lips didn't turn down; she nodded and said, "Okay."
With a swift, almost breezy movement, he carried Qiaoqiao and Wen Zhi forward at breakneck speed, leaving Elder Liu and his group far behind.
Elder Liu watched the group of people disappear into the distance, speechless with emotion.
Saintess, what are you thinking?!
At this moment, Shen Ji, who was being "mercilessly tortured" by the rat demon, and Xiao Tingyu were walking quickly through the secret passage wearing invisibility cloaks, secretly following behind the rat demon.
The hidden passages ahead became increasingly complex, but the rat demon seemed to know the way, moving extremely fast as it went, cursing as it went, "Damn it, those damned Human Race cultivators, they actually used moonlight to lure me, and now they've pinned the plague they created on me! I'm so unlucky!"
