Playing with Fire
After emerging, Shen Ge didn't linger for a moment. He used the teleportation array he had left behind to teleport away. In less than ten breaths, he crossed five teleportation arrays and left the Demonic Sword Valley, leaving behind only five Demonized Rat that had chased after him, looking bewildered.
But before long, Aosi chased after them, and those Demonized Rat didn't even have time to struggle before he turned them into nourishment.
Aosi glanced in the direction Shen Ge had fled, then grinned maliciously and gave chase. Although Shen Ge had used a teleportation array, the aura he left behind was enough for Aus to track him down.
After coming out, Shen Ge glanced at Su Sui, who had stayed there as agreed, and hurriedly asked, "Hasn't your martial uncle come out yet?"
Su Sui shook his head and said, "I haven't seen my martial aunt yet; she hasn't come out."
Shen Ge's expression darkened slightly, but she immediately understood: she must have gone to cause trouble for that woman.
But she was only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage, and she couldn't even last a single round against the Spirit Severing Realm cultivator. It was far too risky!
Just as Shen Ge was about to turn around and go back inside, a golden light suddenly pierced through the rolling black mist of Demonic Sword Valley and disappeared into the horizon.
"Master, it's my martial aunt's aura! She's in that golden light!" Su Sui said excitedly.
"Go and contact your grandmaster first, and find out where they are. We can't stay in this Ancient Wilderness anymore; we must leave as soon as possible."
After uttering those words, Shen Ge immediately chased after the golden light, and many other covetous cultivators followed suit.
Judging from the faint aura he had just sensed, his senior sister was in very bad shape, almost at the end of her life. If he didn't hurry to catch up, his senior sister might be in danger. Shen Ge dared not be negligent in the slightest.
They had been gone for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when Aosi caught up with them. He stood where Shen Ge had been, and behind him, a path of annihilation appeared out of thin air.
"Oh my god, it's Evil Demon! And a fully grown Evil Demon at that! Run!"
"Holy crap... how the hell did Evil Demon appear here, and such a powerful one at that?"
"Stop talking nonsense, run! Run as fast as you can! Someone will take care of this."
In an instant, chaos erupted around the entire outskirts of Demonic Sword Valley. Countless cultivators scattered and fled like startled birds. In no time, the once bustling place became completely silent.
Aosi ignored these people because he was in a hurry.
If he hadn't been in such a hurry, at least half of these people would have died.
"You little bug, run! Your grandpa's coming for you!" Aosi grinned maliciously as he watched Shen Ge flee, then gave chase.
The fleeing cultivators were now spreading the word, and without exception, all of these messages were heading towards Luo Household City, the nearest city in that direction.
Because Luo Lan, the city lord of Luo Household City, is the closest Nascent Body Integration Realm expert in the vicinity, and with her intervention, this Evil Demon will surely be able to be cut in half at the waist.
These people also knew the dangers of Evil Demon. If they were allowed to run rampant without any limits, it would be a major disaster for the entire Ancient Wilderness.
In Luo Household City, countless messages converged on the City Lord's Mansion. Luo Sheng's face darkened slightly as he looked at these messages. He dared not delay and hurriedly ran to a pavilion in the forbidden area of the mansion, pleading, "Mother, there are Evil Demon causing trouble. Please help us slay Evil Demon."
After three calls, a casual female voice finally came from inside the pavilion. "Understood."
Hearing this reply, Luo Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he also had the cultivation of the Spirit Severing Middle Stage, he was not confident in facing Evil Demon whose realm was unpredictable. In order to reduce casualties, he had no choice but to ask his mother to help.
Shen Ge, who was tracking the golden light, looked rather grim, because he had lost it. Not only him, but everyone who had come to chase it had lost it; the golden light had vanished without a trace.
Damn it!
After muttering a curse under his breath, Shen Ge could only pray that his senior sister was alright. After all, that golden light was clearly extraordinary, and if his senior sister could be protected by it, then her safety should be guaranteed.
Just then, a violent aura appeared in Shen Ge's senses. "Little bug, I've found you."
Oh no, that Evil Demon is catching up again!
Shen Ge was a little impatient. Without hesitation, he turned around and ran away at top speed. This time, he dared not hold back at all. He used all kinds of forbidden techniques and secret arts. He used anything that could make him a little faster.
Of course, he knew this was a drop in the ocean, and that he would be caught up by the Evil Demon in less than ten breaths.
This is the difference between Nascent Soul and Spirit Severing; Shen Ge doesn't have the ability to reverse this gap.
Although he knew he couldn't escape, Shen Ge didn't despair.
"Oh no, it's Evil Demon! Run!"
Immediately, the cultivators and beasts that had been pursuing them scattered and fled in all directions.
Aosi didn't pay much attention to them, only casually eliminating some cultivators who were relatively close to him. His current target was Shen Ge, and the aura of Samsara.
Five breaths later, the Evil Demon was less than 500 miles away from Shen Ge. For him, 500 miles was a distance that could be covered in the blink of an eye. Shen Ge could already feel a scorching heat licking his back.
Shen Ge's heart sank deeper and deeper, almost to the bottom. He was even considering suicide, because if he were to fall into the hands of that Evil Demon spirit, his fate would be unimaginable.
Perhaps by ending his own life, he might still have a sliver of hope of survival.
A moment later, Shen Ge's body was filled with violent spiritual power. When Aosi behind him noticed this, his expression changed. He immediately flashed behind Shen Ge and grabbed him, trying to stop Shen Ge from self-destructing.
Just as his large hand was about to cover Shen Ge's head, at this critical moment, a long spear suddenly pierced Aosi's chest, sending him flying and pinning him to the mountainside. Then, a surge of spiritual energy exploded outwards, directly turning most of Aosi's body and the mountain behind him into dust.
"Body Integration Realm! Who?!" Aosi, now only a head and half a body, roared violently. He hadn't expected that a Body Integration Realm expert would appear just when he was about to succeed. How could he not be furious?
At this moment, a pitch-black spatial rift spread from the horizon. As the rift spread, it repaired itself, and in the blink of an eye, it had spread from the horizon to here and was already repaired. If Shen Ge hadn't seen it spreading all the way, he would have thought he was seeing things.
"Since when have you reptiles hiding in dark corners dared to come out and roam around?" A lazy female voice rang out, and then, a woman in a plain-colored robe appeared above Aosi's head.
Her hair was styled with only a branch-like object holding it in place, and her appearance was stunning.
But after the initial amazement, Shen Ge found this person to be somewhat ordinary. His overall demeanor didn't reveal any trace of a powerful figure; perhaps this was what it meant to return to simplicity.
Shen Ge, who had already stopped self-destructing, thought to himself.
