Their appearance left the gathered demon beasts utterly astonished.
"How could they make it here?" one demon beast said in surprise.
Finding this place was no easy task!
Seeing the two people trying to escape, they exchanged a glance.
"Their movements are graceful and swift, they seem to resemble geniuses from the Central Continent!" another demon beast remarked.
Another demon beast nodded.
"Quite like it. Should we capture them?"
"We are here to follow our master's orders. If we leave on our own to capture them, will the master blame us?"
"Probably not. The master hasn't prohibited the killing of geniuses from the Central Continent,
and it seems like the master also holds a grudge against the Central Continent!
After all, we came here because the master mentioned wanting to discuss plans to deal with strong individuals from the Central Continent!"
"Why don't we capture them first and hand them over to the master for punishment?
That way, we won't harm them, and the master won't blame us!"
"Alright, let's move together and suppress them first.
If they reveal our gathering here, it might affect the master's grand plan!
By then, the master will definitely blame us for not acting!"
"Okay!"
They quickly spread their wings and chased after Su Yunke and He Yi'er.
Their speed was so fast that it stirred up fierce winds!
"Senior sister, they are catching up!" He Yi'er shouted from behind.
Su Yunke glanced back, and her scalp tingled.
If they only faced one or two demon beasts, they could easily handle them!
*Even if they encountered a genius among the demon beasts with a similar cultivation level,*
*they could deal with them using their treasures!*
However, there were simply too many. Just in front of them, there were dozens.
Even without making a move, the auras emanating from them were incredibly terrifying.
"They are definitely geniuses of the Demon Clan!" Su Yunke thought to herself.
*How could they deal with so many demon clan geniuses?*
*No matter how many treasures they possessed, just the two of them could never suppress so many demon clan geniuses!*
"Just as I suspected!
A trap was indeed waiting!
They gathered together to ambush me and my junior sister.
The Demon Clan is indeed cunning and sly!
Fortunately, we anticipated it early on, otherwise, we would have already been dead!" Su Yunke said, her face cold.
In the brief moment they were fleeing, demon beasts with the abilities of Earth Escape and Flying had already overtaken them, reaching their front.
A piercing screech echoed from a tree.
It was a black crow!
Its whole body was pitch black, cawing loudly.
The sound was extremely sharp, making the eardrums of He Yi'er and Su Yunke feel like they would burst, so they quickly covered their ears.
But it had little effect!
Their eardrums kept vibrating, ready to tear at any moment!
"Junior sister, quickly block your hearing!" Su Yunke shouted.
She immediately used Profound Qi to seal her acupoints.
He Yi'er heeded her words and sealed her acupoints too.
With that, they could no longer hear the crow's bizarre cries.
However, after blocking their hearing, they could neither hear the crow nor each other.
Their steps halted suddenly because it wasn't just the black crow blocking their path.
The ground was uplifted, sending large trees crashing towards them.
Su Yunke and He Yi'er simultaneously drew their swords, utilizing their Profound Qi sword technique to cut through the oncoming earth.
Su Yunke's body was wrapped in Profound Qi!
She knew very well!
There were many poisonous ones among the demon beasts.
If she didn't protect her body with Profound Qi, it would be easy to get poisoned!
"Junior sister, quickly protect your body with Profound Qi!" she shouted.
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered they had already blocked their hearing.
So, her junior sister wouldn't be able to hear her!
"Not good!" Su Yunke realized something was wrong.
*She had trained multiple times before, encountering and slaying countless demon beasts.*
*She knew very well the capabilities of demon beasts!*
*But what about her junior sister?*
*How could she know about the bizarre and cunning nature of demon beasts?*
Thinking of this, she hurriedly looked over.
She found her junior sister He Yi'er clutching her arm, her face turning green.
One look and it was clear: her junior sister was poisoned.
Su Yunke was anxious!
"These demon beasts are so despicable!"
She quickly moved to He Yi'er's side and removed her hand from her arm.
She saw a needle-like mark on He Yi'er's arm.
Inside, there was a black object visible.
"A poisonous bee!"
Su Yunke hurried to treat He Yi'er, but the surrounding demon beasts did not agree.
Su Yunke sensed the fluctuation of Profound Qi behind her and turned around to look.
She saw small flying insects appear in her vision!
They were poisonous insects!
They tore through her protective dark energy and intruded in.
Su Yunke immediately shook the Profound Qi within her body, and the vibrating Profound Qi killed a bunch of tiny poisonous insects!
She was about to relax, when out of nowhere, a sharp pain struck the back of her neck.
"I got poisoned too!" The scene before Su Yunke's eyes started to fade, and her consciousness kept slipping away.
Soon, she collapsed.
One by one, the demon beasts appeared, looking down at them.
One of them, resembling a large beetle, opened its mouth.
"Carry them with me!"
After that, a swarm of black insects appeared, arriving next to He Yi'er and Su Yunke's bodies.
Lifting them, the insects followed the large beetle demon beast, retracing their steps.
"Judging by the techniques they used, their Profound Skill is of the highest level!
They are likely geniuses from the Central Continent participating in the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle!" the black crow said.
"Indeed, and it looks like they might be Saintess-like figures."
They chatted as they walked, returning to the gathering place.
"Where did you go!" a white fox with five tails coldly questioned upon seeing them return.
It was the Little White Fox!
The master the demon beasts spoke of was Yang Yan!
"Earlier, we spotted two human clan geniuses who discovered this place!
To prevent them from revealing anything, we went after them together!" the black crow replied.
The Little White Fox raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Are they from the Central Continent, participating in the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle?"
"Probably so!"
The Little White Fox smiled!
"Did you capture them?"
"Captured them!"
The Little White Fox nodded.
"Good, you did well.
These two managed to arrive from the Central Continent in such a short time.
Clearly, their status is high, and their cultivation is advanced!
Bring them up!
I will present them to the master, to serve the master!"
"Yes!"
Su Yunke and He Yi'er were carried by the insects to the Little White Fox and, seeing their beautiful appearance, the Little White Fox's eyes sparkled.
"Such beautiful women, this works perfectly!
With my cultivation lacking, I can't yet take human shape!
I can't bring joy to the master, but today, you will be my substitutes.
In the time before the master leaves, keep the master well accompanied for me!"
Its mouth curved into a grin.
"Detoxify them!"
"Alright."
The large beetle flew out, retrieving a porcelain bottle.
Uncapping it, it tilted it upside down.
Two water-like drops of transparent liquid dripped out, landing by He Yi'er and Su Yunke's mouths.
After drinking them, their green faces gradually changed.
The green color faded, and their complexions slowly returned to normal.
With the poison cleared, Su Yunke and He Yi'er's physique and Profound Qi revived.
They slowly opened their eyes!
At that moment, the Little White Fox leaped up, meeting their gaze.
A peculiar glow emanated from its eyes, entering theirs!
He Yi'er and Su Yunke were momentarily stunned, as a strange expression appeared in their eyes.
"Hand them over to me," the Little White Fox said, restoring its gaze. "Next, coordinate with the many demon clan elders to attack the strong individuals from the Central Continent.
Ensure you capture them all in one sweep!
This is the task the master has assigned to you!"
"Yes!"
"Proceed with it!"
As the demon creatures of the Demon Clan departed, the Little White Fox led Su Yunke and He Yi'er into a cavern.
