Chapter 74: Cultivator of the Demon Gate

"Senior, I... we mistook the person."

Mo Shitian looked at Li Zhangsheng with a pleading face like a child who made a mistake, his will to survive evident.

There was no way around it; when Li Zhangsheng shattered the refining immortal pot with one hand, he also shattered his mental defense!

One must know that the refining immortal pot is a pseudo‑immortal artifact!

Anything beneath the immortal realm can be killed!

It would be one thing not to kill Li Zhangsheng, but he casually shattered it!

Is this normal?

Of course not.

The only explanation is that this person perhaps... has already stepped into the immortal realm!

No, you're kidding!

You step into the immortal realm but don't ascend, instead you're just fishing inside the immortal path?!

Sss!

Everyone present from the Hall of Returning Ruins involuntarily inhaled a cold gasp!

Their eyes stared blankly at the refining immortal pot fragments scattering through heaven and earth, their hearts filled with terror!

A pseudo‑immortal artifact, and the Hall of Returning Ruins' treasured hall guardian is gone like that?!

This white‑clad youth is so fierce!

I really want to run now; I don't know if I can get away!

Immediately, two Emperor Realms turned and fled without looking back!

However, moments after they fled, two booming sounds turned them into blood mist!

Everyone, still trembling, stared at the spots where the two turned into blood mist!!

Stunned for a long while!

Indeed, before such strong ones, fleeing is nothing but a luxury!

Can't escape!

Then there's only…

Swish swish swish!

Immediately, everyone knelt before Li Zhangsheng, trembling with fear and begging for mercy:

"Senior, spare me!"

"Senior, spare me!"

…

"Senior, spare me, I... we mistook the person."

Among those present, Mo Shitian was the most terrified; he frantically kowtowed to Li Zhangsheng, pounding the air with a series of 'bang bang bang' sounds.

Li Zhangsheng took a sip of wine, looked at Mo Shitian with a teasing smile and said, "You didn't mistake anyone; I killed your son!"

Li Zhangsheng naturally knew that the middle‑aged man before him was the father of the young man he had crushed to death with a single finger a few days earlier.

One must know that Li Zhangsheng's divine consciousness now can envelop the entire immortal path!

Everything that occurs within the immortal path is fully within his sight!

A few days ago, he already discovered Mo Shitian was looking for him!

Actually, at that time Li Zhangsheng inexplicably worried about Mo Shitian for a while, hoping he wouldn't come after him!

After all, Li Zhangsheng knew he was too dangerous!

If Mo Shitian found him, he would have no choice but to kill him!

But Mo Shitian stubbornly…

"Hey!"

"Seems I worried about you for nothing; you claim life isn't good, yet you have to come over to deliver a head!"

"Now it's settled, I can't not kill you!"

Li Zhangsheng smiled helplessly inwardly.

To be honest, he doesn't really like killing!

But there's no other way…

"Senior, I remember now, I have no son; everything's a misunderstanding!" Mo Shitian begged frantically, babbling, "Senior, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

"…"

Li Zhangsheng was suddenly at a loss for words; having seen Mo Shitian's relentless stance before, he had thought Mo Shitian's bond with his son was deep!

But now it seemed their relationship wasn't that close!

Li Zhangsheng looked at Mo Shitian, smiled kindly and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let the misunderstanding deepen!"

"Don't worry, I'll be quick!"

Saying that, Li Zhangsheng raised his hand!

Boom! Boom! Boom…

The over‑hundred Emperor Realms present, together with Mo Shitian, who had cultivated two semi‑immortal auras, and the Hall of Returning Ruins' Grand Elder, all turned into blood mist and vanished!

Li Zhangsheng did not break his word!

He truly was quick; at least when Mo Shitian and the others died, there was no pain!

"Hey!"

Li Zhangsheng leisurely took another sip of wine, then looked toward a direction: "The Demon Gate? Interesting!"

…

In a desert region that looked boundless, three figures were flying desperately!

These three were none other than Yang Xuanyi, Jiang Yuanqing, and the Nether Emperor!

After entering the Immortal Path, they happened to be all transmitted to this desert region!

Naturally, when they were first transmitted here, they were in different parts of this desert region!

But later, while seeking opportunities, they bumped into a piece, and then they started forming a group to search for treasures!

The three's luck was not bad; they each found several stalks of immortal herbs, and they did not encounter any deadly danger!

Just when the three thought they could continue searching for opportunities peacefully, a group of demonic cultivators began to run rampant in this area!!

This group of demonic cultivators was extremely powerful and very ferocious!

They not only seized resources, but also cruelly captured cultivators to refine and enhance themselves.

Each holding a Myriad Soul Banner and some demonic artifacts, they roamed this desert region capturing people; upon capture they were instantly refined, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, wantonly harvesting cultivators' lives and souls!

For a moment, the cultivators in this desert region were all filled with anxiety.

All righteous cultivators found hidden places and successively went into hiding, setting up layers of formations around them, like mice hiding from cats, hiding from that group of demonic cultivators!

Initially, Yang Xuanyi and his two companions were the same.

They knew that this group of demonic cultivators was ferocious, and each of them had cultivation reaching the Ninefold Emperor Realm!

Some of them had even cultivated immortal aura, being peerless old monsters.

Yang Xuanyi and his two companions naturally could not provoke them, so they dug out a space to hide in a place deep underground, several tens of thousands of meters deep in the desert's subterranean magma!!

However, the demonic cultivators had a sense of smell as keen as a dog's; even though Yang Xuanyi and his two companions hid very well,

they dared not leak any aura, and they even washed their bodies with magma to scrub away their scent, yet they were still found by that group of demonic cultivators.

Helpless, after being found, they initially could only feign fear, then secretly slapped a hard-character talisman on themselves, and simultaneously, with mutual understanding, they activated that explosive talisman!

The three explosive talismans were activated simultaneously, and with the enemy completely unprepared, they directly blew up with a boom, killing several Ninefold Emperor Realm cultivators!

Moreover, the three took advantage of this moment to flee madly!!

At this moment, Yang Xuanyi and his two companions strove to flee through the void!

Not far behind them, two demonic leaders were pursuing them!

One is a dwarf holding a Myriad Soul Banner; this person is bald, wearing a black robe, of extremely short stature, about one meter tall.

However, the demonic aura on him is immensely mighty, vast demonic energy covering the sky and blocking the sun!

The other is a blind person holding a bronze ancient lamp; the bronze ancient lamp in his hand is named the Thousand Bone Lamp, and it is a demonic artifact!!

The one holding the Myriad Soul Banner is named Cangming Old Ghost!

The one holding the bronze ancient lamp is named Gu Lao Guai!

These two are elders of the demonic sect Moro Sect in the Three Thousand Dao Realm, and both have cultivated a strand of immortal aura.

Those whom Yang Xuanyi and his two companions killed by detonating the explosive talisman were precisely members of their Moro Sect!

"Hmph, three ants, actually using talismans to blow up several Ninefold Emperor Realm members of our Moro Sect; once I catch them, I'll make them wish they were dead!"

Cangming Old Ghost looked ahead gloomily; seeing the distance was about right, he shook the Myriad Soul Banner in his hand, and immediately the banner began to move horizontally at extreme speed toward the front!

Hum!

In an instant, the vast Myriad Soul Banner directly enveloped Yang Xuanyi and the three...
