Chapter 1157: Demon Refining Furnace

"Mr. Chen..." Liu Xian at his side hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I beg you, Mr. Chen, please save my friend first, as well as... the others of my kind who have been captured."

Chen Yu nodded slightly, the killing intent on his body slowly receding, and he left the Demon Refining Furnace together with Liu Xian.

The cave was so large, and with so many of the demon race captured, a detention site must be found within it.

Chen Yu walked along the way, killing several guards in succession, and finally forcibly searched the location of the detention site from the consciousness of one of the guards.

Arriving at a stone chamber filled with Restrictions, he saw dozens of men and women imprisoned together.

They were Liu Xian's own kind; among these people, some could barely take human form, and some even still retained animal characteristics.

The appearance of Chen Yu and Liu Xian gave the trapped group a shock, and some of the timid ones even retreated involuntarily.

Because every day, many of their kind were dragged away, and after being dragged away, they never returned.

Since these demon clans had been captured and brought here, they certainly knew what their fate would be; being skinned and having their tendons pulled was unavoidable.

So, seeing someone walk over, these demon kinds shrank back desperately as if startled, fearing that the next person to be dragged away would be themselves.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, we are here to help you all." Liu Xian hurriedly walked forward.

Liu Xian was different; she was of the same kind as these people, and upon arriving here, she did not deliberately hide the aura on her body.

Once they smelled the aura on Liu Xian, these people were no longer afraid and swarmed over in a rush.

"Are you Great Immortal Liu? How did you get in?" one who was dragging a dog's tail ran over to ask.

"Never mind that for now, let's get you all out first." Liu Xian took one look at the Restriction before her and could not help but shrink her head back: "Mr. Chen... I'll have to trouble you."

"Step back a little," Chen Yu said.

The demons within the Restriction hurriedly stepped back, and then Chen Yu, with Lichen in hand, severed the Restriction inside with a single sword strike.

The demons inside gave a cheer and surged out from within one after another.

"Great Immortal Liu, is this a human? Who is he, and why is he helping us?" a demon asked.

"This is Mr. Chen Yu, from Dragon Breath..." Liu Xian introduced.

Upon hearing it was Dragon Breath, these people were scared out of their wits and retreated rapidly.

They were truly terrified to the extreme when they heard this name, because it could be said that they were all brought here by people from Dragon Breath.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. Dragon Breath also has its rules. As long as you yourselves do not do things that are harmful to heaven and reason, Dragon Breath has no right to take you away."

Chen Yu said: "Regarding your situation, I already know. Rest assured, today I will stand up for you."

"What right do you have to stand up for me? Why should I believe you?" A burly man clearly did not believe Chen Yu.

"You don't have to believe me. Those who don't believe can stay here and wait for death; those who want to survive can just follow me." Chen Yu glanced at him coldly.

He did not say he was begging to save them; he had risked danger to come and save them, yet they did not believe him. Chen Yu did not spoil anyone; if they wanted to go, they could go, and if they were unwilling, they could stay here and wait for death.

Chen Yu's words left the Spirit Monsters present not daring to let out a peep. What were they questioning? If they didn't follow Chen Yu, were they supposed to wait here for death?

Their own kind had been taken away quite a bit these past few days, and after being taken away, they never came back.

Moreover, they had heard that deep underground, there was a Demon Refining Furnace over ten meters high, the furnace fire never extinguished all year round. After they were skinned and had their tendons pulled, they would all be thrown into the Demon Refining Furnace to be smelted.

Thinking of their fate, everyone involuntarily shivered; they really could not drag this out any longer.

"Please trust Mr. Chen. He is from Dragon Breath, different from those people. He will take everyone out together," Liu Xian said somewhat anxiously.

"Where is he taking us?" someone asked. "After we get out of here, will we be sold again by him?"

It was no wonder these little demons did not trust Chen Yu, because humans had hurt them too deeply.

Furthermore, they themselves did not trust humans; after all, anyone with even a little special ability could suppress them completely.

In fact, those who could be captured were all among the kind-hearted of the demons; the truly wicked Great Demons who devoured their own kind and did things harmful to heaven and reason were all ferocious types.

These people from Dragon Breath would walk around those Great Demons when they saw them; it was impossible for them to provoke these Great Demons.

Therefore, sometimes, some little demons with unstable mindsets would take a shortcut and become evil demons.

"I will lead you out. As long as you have not done things harmful to heaven and reason, or harmed people, I guarantee you will all be safe and sound. Or, if you have nowhere to go, following me is also fine," Chen Yu said.

A commotion arose among the demon crowd. Follow a human? Were they crazy?

"Let's go, everyone, there isn't much time left. Where is Hui Xian? Has anyone seen a Hui Xian?" Liu Xian only then remembered that she had come to save Hui Xian, but there seemed to be no Hui Xian among the demon crowd.

"Are you talking about a mouse? Dragging a tail, not yet fully able to take human form, smiling happily all day long?" someone asked.

"Yes, that's him. Where did he go?" Liu Xian asked.

"Half an hour ago, he was taken away. He should be in the Demon Workshop now," someone replied.

"What?" Liu Xian was shocked. Just as she was about to go to the Demon Workshop to save Hui Xian, several men broke in.

"Sure enough, there are still those throwing themselves into the net. This is a Liu Xian, hurry and capture her. This little demoness has a really nice figure," the leading man sneered.

A person holding a Talisman stepped forward, chanting scriptures and incantations, intending to capture Liu Xian.

This guy was a bona fide successor of the Five Elements Pavilion; his chanting of scriptures and incantations was very serious, and the moment he struck, it was a Fire Talisman from the Five Elements Talismans, with immense power.

All the Immortals shrank their heads back, not daring to take another step forward.

Just at this moment, a figure flashed, and Chen Yu appeared before the man who was chanting.

He grabbed the man's hand and looked at the Talisman in his hand with interest: "Fire Talisman, not bad, the power is quite strong."

"What kind of demon thing are you? Let go." The man glared at Chen Yu and then subconsciously tried to pull his hand back, but as he pulled, Chen Yu gripped his hand tightly, and it did not budge at all.

"You..." The man looked up at Chen Yu abruptly.

"I am no demon thing. As for this Talisman, you had better keep it for yourself," Chen Yu said coldly.

Then he gripped the man's hand tightly and stuffed the Talisman into the man's own mouth.

With a boom, a flash of fire surged out from the man's seven orifices.

The man's face turned charred black, his beard and hair were scorched, and a burnt smell permeated the air.

The man's eyes widened, he fell to his knees with a thud, twitched a few times, and then became completely motionless.
