Chapter 262: Boundless Young Master

Song Yan, who had witnessed the whole process, frowned more and more tightly.

Cang Li sent a mental message to Song Yan: 'Eldest Senior Brother, if you had made a move just now, I would have had to act too; if we were unfortunately captured, the people now trapped in the prison cart would be us.'

Hearing this, Song Yan's guilt eased somewhat.

He could not ignore A Li's safety and act impulsively.

Cang Li again urged: 'Eldest Senior Brother, we still haven't found Second Senior Sister and Yao Yao and the others, so we absolutely must not act impulsively.'

Song Yan, hearing this, turned his head to look at him.

Cang Li felt somewhat guilty under his own Eldest Senior Brother's gaze, and he forced out a faint smile.

Song Yan let out a soft sigh and sent a mental message: 'You poisoned the Snake Emperor earlier, and yesterday you poisoned the Moon Beauty Demon Emperor— which of your deeds isn't dangerous?'

'As the saying goes, one seeks wealth in danger.' Cang Li laughed, 'My actions will surely leave a bold and vivid mark in this trial!'

Song Yan had nothing to say.

But he seemed to recall something at this moment and sent a mental query: 'Where did the poison you used come from?'

'Naturally...' Cang Li blinked slightly, avoided Song Yan's gaze, and continued: 'I bought it outside.'

'What grade of poison could seriously injure both the Snake Emperor and the Demon Emperor?'

In the cultivation world, the stronger a person is, the more they possess some poison resistance and can even use spiritual power to force out poison.

Given the strength of the Snake Emperor and the Demon Emperor, they would not suffer serious injury from ordinary poison.

Cang Li sent a mental message: 'Eldest Senior Brother, I purchased a high-grade poison; not to mention the Monster Emperor and Demon Emperor, even the Monster Sovereign and Demon Sovereign might not be able to withstand its toxicity!'

'Why did you purchase such a poison?'

'Just in case!'

Song Yan eyed Cang Li suspiciously.

Cang Li chuckled.

Song Yan was about to ask something else when the Demon Tribe Commander who had walked out of the Crossing Fate Inn interrupted his thoughts.

The Demon Tribe Commander stopped a short distance from Cang Li, tilted his head, and scrutinizingly glanced over Cang Li and Song Yan.

'You two switch places.' The Demon Tribe Commander, though he hadn't heard them speak, felt they were whispering something, so he wanted to separate them.

'You go inside to stand guard.' The Demon Tribe Commander pointed at Song Yan and said.

Song Yan lowered his head, saluted in the manner of a demon tribe soldier, and complied.

When Song Yan entered the Crossing Fate Inn, the Demon Tribe Commander again told Cang Li: 'Follow me.'

Upon hearing this, Cang Li immediately showed a flattered-and-surprised expression and exclaimed, 'I obey, sir!'

The commander, seeing Cang Li's fawning demeanor, felt a surge of pleasure, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked toward the outside of the Crossing Fate Inn.

Before Cang Li followed the commander away, he glanced back at Song Yan once and sent a mental message: 'Eldest Senior Brother, you must not act rashly. Before you act, think more of me, think more of your junior fellow disciples—we all need you.'

Song Yan: '……'

He felt helpless and somewhat amused.

He replied in one word: 'Okay.'

Upon hearing the definite reply, Cang Li quickly caught up to the commander, walking slightly behind and to his right, and cautiously asked: 'Sir, where are we headed now?'

The commander glanced at him and said, 'Naturally, we're going to the dungeon to interrogate these human cultivators.'

Cang Li fawned, 'Sir, you're formidable.'

The commander chuckled and gave Cang Li a meaningful look.

After entering the dungeon.

Each cell in the dungeon held human cultivators.

Cang Li calmly scanned the human cultivators in the cells and discovered that, besides cultivators from over seven hundred years ago, there were many young people who had entered the Flowing Light Secret Realm for training.

At that moment, the commander pointed to a teenager in the cell, tormented to the brink of death, and told Cang Li, 'Drag him out.'

Upon hearing this, Cang Li promptly agreed.

He hurried to the cell door, waited for the guard to open it, then immediately entered, grabbed the blood-soaked teenager, and dragged him out without mercy.

'Sir.' Cang Li dragged the teenager to the commander's face and then waited eagerly for the next order.

The commander suddenly curled his lips, revealing a cruel smile, and said, 'Eat him.'

Low-level demons love tearing apart human flesh with their hands and are extremely fond of the taste of human meat.

Cang Li froze for a moment.

Seeing this, the commander was about to signal the guards hiding in the dark to surround and attack Cang Li——

'Really?!' Cang Li exclaimed delightedly, his eyes flashing with excitement as he silently swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

He wore a drooling expression.

The commander halted his gesturing, then smiled and nodded at him, saying, 'It's truly the case; you've performed well, this human is your reward.'

Upon hearing this, Cang Li's face, covered in demonic markings, grew even more delighted, and he immediately lunged at the dying teenager.

'Ah!'

The teenager lying on the ground let out a piercing scream; his hand was stepped on by Cang Li's foot.

'Damn it, dare step on me!' The teenager suddenly burst forth with a powerful aura, shedding his weak appearance, sprang up, and thrust a palm strike at Cang Li.

Cang Li, frightened, quickly crouched and raised his hands to shield his head.

The teenager's palm strike missed.

At that moment, the commander's face changed in surprise; evidently he hadn't expected this blood-covered human teenager before him to still retain his cultivation, and he shouted.

'Seize him!'

'Damn you, damn you, damn you!' The teenager, not tall—about thirteen or fourteen—spat out vulgarities as soon as he spoke.

Immediately, he condensed a massive axe of profound gold in his hand—the Opening Heaven Axe—and swung it toward Cang Li.

Cang Li screamed in fright, frantically dodging again and again.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

He kept dodging and ended up behind the demon clan leader.

The youth wielding the Heaven-Splitting Axe chopped straight down without missing!

Boom—

The demon clan leader hastily raised his sword to meet him, but was sent flying by a single axe blow, smashing into the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time, the Demon Clan Guard all rushed to surround and attack the axe-wielding youth.

The youth swung the Heaven-Splitting Axe; with one strike, over a dozen Demon Clan Guard were split in half.

Slaying demons was as easy as chopping vegetables.

The sight left all the demons trembling with fear!

Cang Li, shrinking in the corner from fear, instantly saw that the axe-wielding youth was a body cultivator, and his origins were extraordinary.

The weapon in the youth's hand was the Heaven-Splitting Axe.

The Heaven-Splitting Axe is the island-guarding treasure of Boundless Island, one of the Three Islands.

Nearly all Boundless Island Cultivators choose the path of body cultivation, commonly known as body cultivators.

Four years ago, when the young son of the Master of Boundless Island, Gongsun Ji, was only ten years old, he astonishingly pulled out the Heaven-Splitting Axe, which had been buried underground for over a thousand years and weighed more than a thousand jin, with sheer bravery; moreover, the axe voluntarily recognized him as its master!

From then on, the Master of Boundless Island valued his exceptionally talented son ever more, not only appointing him as the successor to the Young Master position but also pouring vast resources into nurturing his growth.

And the youth before them must be——

The Young Master of Boundless Island, Gongsun Ji.
