Chapter 1313

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Ning Chen stopped asking and continued leading everyone deeper inside.

The higher the layer, the more powerful the demons within become.

The group climbed ten layers in a row.

"Shouldn't we take a break?" Miss Hongxiu felt a bit overwhelmed. It wasn't that she was tired, but the process was simply exhausting. Going up layer by layer, with demons on every floor, felt like an endless pit that could never be broken through.

Ning Chen said nothing. After clearing the demons on this floor, he did not immediately head for the teleportation array. Instead, he found a stone and sat down.

Miss Hongxiu observed the surroundings. To be honest, this place was different from her imagination. The demons and ghosts here seemed much freer, and it appeared they had already formed a kind of order.

However, this order was still based on the strength of one's ability.

After resting for about an hour, Ning Chen stood up again and led everyone to the next layer.

The group cleared another ten layers in succession. Ning Chen had a feeling that they were not too far from the location of the Demon King Mi Hei.

The next layer was the twenty-first. As soon as they entered, Ning Chen felt a distinct difference. This layer was extremely cold; the temperature around them was like that of winter.

"Why is it so cold here?" The King of Hell, transformed into a cat, curled himself up but refused to get down from Ning Chen's shoulder.

"It must be a Snow Demon. I remember a Snow Demon was captured in the Demon-Sealing Tower before. Judging by this, this must be her territory," Miss Hongxiu guessed while looking around.

The scenery around was also different from the previous ones. Ice and snow covered the ground everywhere, and the teleportation array could not be seen. The entire space was vast, and not far away stood a house covered in ice and snow.

"Who are you?" Suddenly, a female voice appeared. Immediately after, the door of the ice-snow house opened, and a woman dressed slightly revealingly walked out.

Miss Hongxiu, one of only two women here, took on the role of Lin Yi's diplomat: "You are the Snow Demon. Where is the teleportation array here?"

The Snow Demon glanced at Miss Hongxiu, her eyes showing no emotion: "Don't call me 'Snow Demon, Snow Demon.' It sounds truly unpleasant."

Clearly, the Snow Demon gave Miss Hongxiu no face at all.

Miss Hongxiu raised an eyebrow. She didn't mind; the demons imprisoned in the Demon-Sealing Tower were all extremely arrogant to begin with.

"I don't like you, but I am a bit interested in you." The Snow Demon swayed her waist as she walked toward Ning Chen, even circling around him, a look of satisfaction appearing on her face.

Ning Chen kept his eyes on the ground the entire time, not letting his gaze linger on the Snow Demon for a single moment.

"Interesting. I like your personality, and I like your appearance. I also like the aura you carry. I haven't met anyone so to my taste in a long time. Why don't you stay? I will definitely treat you well."

Saying this, the Snow Demon stopped in front of Ning Chen and even gave him a coquettish wink.

And Ning Chen silently stepped back a few steps, his eyes never once lingering on the Snow Demon.

"Humans, don't you want to know where the teleportation array is? Here's the deal: you stay, and I'll tell you. How about that?"

After the Snow Demon finished speaking, Ning Chen raised his eyes to look at her. There was not a ripple in Ning Chen's eyes; they were simply colder than the ice and snow around here.

Seeing Ning Chen look at her, the Snow Demon flashed an extremely seductive smile: "Have you decided?"

"Kill you, and I'll know where it is," Ning Chen said emotionlessly, not giving the Snow Demon a single glance of regard.

Her repeated attempts to show favor had been rejected, and she had been spoken to like this. The Snow Demon became completely furious: "Human, I was being so patient with you only because you appealed to my taste. You dare treat me like this? Fine. I'll freeze you into a statue, and you can still stay."

Saying this, a fierce wind suddenly whipped up around them. The Snow Demon darted through it, attacking Ning Chen.

"Quick, dodge!" The King of Hell, seeing the Snow Demon attacking, shouted anxiously at Ning Chen, who remained motionless.

Ning Chen truly stood completely still. Just as the Snow Demon reached a distance of one meter from them, and the King of Hell could no longer hold back and wanted to act, suddenly, the Snow Demon was bounced back by something.

It was seen that a faint golden light radiated around Ning Chen's body. A protective shield formed around him, simultaneously blocking the wind and snow around.

Miss Hongxiu clasped her hands together and released a spell to resist the wild wind and snow around.

The Snow Demon rose again. She looked at Ning Chen, then spread her hands. One by one, ice pillars formed above Ning Chen's head and then fell rapidly.

Ning Chen did not look up at the ceiling, but instead, carrying the King of Hell, he darted between the ice pillars above, not letting a single one of them hit him even a tiny bit.

Ning Chen had no intention of playing tag with the opponent, so he quickly attacked the Snow Demon.

How could a Snow Demon who had stayed in the Demon-Sealing Tower for a long time and hadn't fought for a long time compete with Ning Chen, who had just experienced the zombie world?

In almost an instant, the Snow Demon was grabbed by the throat by Ning Chen and pressed face-down onto the ground.

At the same time, vines appeared around, binding the Snow Demon layer by layer.

The wind and snow around stopped. Xiao Han arrived at Ning Chen's side first.

"How should we deal with her?" Xiao Han raised his hand, and the vines pulled the Snow Demon up.

At this moment, the Snow Demon was bound like a zongzi dumpling. Her snow-white hair stuck to her face, snow smeared all over her face, she looked nothing like her exquisite self before; she was in a terrible state.

Miss Hongxiu walked over, saw the Snow Demon's appearance, and nearly dropped her jaw in shock.

Originally, she thought that since the Snow Demon was a woman, and a great beauty at that, Ning Chen would at least show some mercy.

"You two big men really don't know how to cherish. Look at what a great beauty has turned into," Miss Hongxiu's words carried a slight hint of schadenfreude.

And Geng Zhong, who had given all his romance to his Lady and was a steel straight man to all outsiders, directly stabbed the Snow Demon in the heart with his words: "I didn't look properly just now. Now that I look, this demon... is quite ugly."

Long sealed in the Demon-Sealing Tower, not only beaten on the ground, but now even mocked for the appearance she had always been proud of.

"Waaah, waaah, waaah! What are you doing? You barged into my territory without a word, beat me up, and now you must criticize my looks. What exactly do you want to do? Did I do anything to provoke you?"

No one expected the Snow Demon to suddenly cry. She looked utterly heartbroken, tears falling like they were free.

Miss Hongxiu glanced at the group. A bunch of big men; she didn't expect them to go comfort her.

"Alright, stop crying. You are still very beautiful. We actually just wanted to ask for the location of the teleportation array. Didn't you insist on attacking us?"
