"There are humans!"

When the Mountain Demon Old Demon said this, the cave fell into complete silence.

Fatty Tiger pretended to look fierce, glancing around while secretly groaning in his heart.

If Zhang Kui is exposed, he's definitely doomed. Betraying either side would mean death, and his life as a tiger would come to an end.

Zhang Kui frowned suspiciously,

Could this Old Demon's spiritual sense be this strong?

The hook-nosed, thin-mouthed Old Demon beside him also sniffed the air, then shook his head and laughed, "Brother Shan, you jest. If there were humans, how could they escape your notice?"

"Brother Jin, you might not know."

The Mountain Demon sneered, "If it were anything else, it would be fine, but there's a scent I'm all too familiar with, and that is…"

Saying this, the Mountain Demon turned to look at the inner chamber,

"The scent of a woman!"

Boom!

The stone bed suddenly exploded, and the young girl turned into a golden light, shooting straight toward the cave entrance.

Fatty Tiger was initially startled but felt at ease once he saw it wasn't Zhang Kui. He roared fiercely, yet his body stealthily moved backward.

The white-robed Old Demon chuckled silently, while the Mountain Demon gave a sly grin. His figure vanished instantly, swept up by a fierce wind, and appeared in front of the girl.

Such speed!

Zhang Kui's pupils narrowed; he hadn't seen the Mountain Demon's movement clearly. This speed was nearly supernatural.

The girl stopped with a grim face, her hands gradually becoming as crystalline as jade, ready for a desperate fight.

The Mountain Demon licked his sharp claws with his tongue, his thick lips showing a perverted expression,

"Little beauty, what's the rush…"

Suddenly, his face stiffened, his eyes filled with disbelief, "A reincarnated one!"

"What?!"

The sharp-nosed white-robed Old Demon sprang up instantly, appearing next to the Mountain Demon, squinting at the girl with growing greed.

In truth, although the two demons came to Qingzhou to find the "Reincarnated One," they barely hoped to succeed. So, they found it hard to believe when the target appeared before them.

"Brother Shan, what incredible fortune you have!"

The sharp-nosed white-robed Old Demon exclaimed joyfully,

"So many people couldn't find her, yet she walks right into your lair."

The Mountain Demon's eyes shone brightly as well,

"Well said, Brother Jin. If we capture her together, we can exchange her for cultivation skills to study together!"

"Agreed!"

The white-robed Old Demon agreed wholeheartedly.

With a boom, they both attacked simultaneously.

Then, both cried out in pain as they retreated.

One of the Mountain Demon's eyes was burst open, pus oozing out.

The white-robed Old Demon clutched his stomach, with three deep scratches on it.

"I knew you'd sneak attack!"

The Mountain Demon roared angrily.

The white-robed Old Demon sneered,

"Heh, it's mutual. Some benefits are best taken alone."

Their falling out came so suddenly.

Fatty Tiger was stunned, suddenly feeling that he was quite honest.

Zhang Kui squinted his eyes slightly, ready to strike at the right moment.

The girl was also taken aback but quickly laughed delicately, "Gentlemen, with whom should I go?"

The implication of sowing discord was utterly unrestrained.

Unfortunately, both Old Demons merely sneered, not responding, while cautiously watching each other.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted outside the cave.

Several wolf demons and snake demons, hearing the commotion inside, thought something had happened and quickly ran in.

At this moment, a silver light suddenly shot out, looping around twice. Several Little Demons all had blood holes appear on their foreheads, their eyes dimming as they fell softly to the ground.

Zhu Sheng floated down gracefully. With a sword gesture, the Nether Void Sword, which was suspended in the air, flew into his hand.

It was definitely worth coming here…

Zhu Sheng was somewhat moved. In the perilous situation, communicating day and night with the Nether Void Divine Intent allowed him to utilize the sect's flying sword briefly.

However, Zhu Sheng couldn't indulge in his success at this moment.

The chaos inside the cave suggested that Brother Zhang had been discovered, so it was best to rescue him first.

With this thought, Zhu Sheng held his sword horizontally and shot into the cave with a swoosh…

Sword Qi sliced through; along the way, several Little Demons were beheaded. Zhu Sheng dashed into the hall and shouted angrily:

"Brother Zhang, leave quickly!"

But upon seeing the scene before him, he froze.

Where's Brother Zhang…

And who is this woman?

"Dear me, what's going on…" Fatty Tiger slapped his eye with his paw, feeling utterly confused.

"Alright then…"

The Mountain Demon Old Demon was furious, "And who are you, what Brother Zhang, could there be more humans infiltrating?"

As he spoke, he scanned the area with a fierce glint in his eyes.

A sigh echoed,

Zhang Kui leisurely stepped out from behind the stalactite, twirling his Lu Li Sword with a flourish, and chuckled,

"Mountain Demon Old Demon, today you've indeed hit the jackpot..."

"Hahaha!"

The white-robed, sharp-mouthed Old Demon mocked, "Old Mountain Demon, this kid is right. With his sneaky infiltration skills, you might face disaster today."

The Mountain Demon kept a sullen face and said nothing, rubbing his sharp claws together, sparks flying.

No one expected this situation.

The two Old Demons were wary of each other, and Zhang Kui, Zhu Sheng, and the young girl dared not act rashly, causing the scene to deadlock immediately.

Drip, drip...

The blood of a Headless Wolf Demon kept dripping, and a baby in the kitchen started crying.

The young girl suddenly broke into a smile,

"Brothers, you two handle the rear; we'll meet up shortly!"

With that, she spun around, surprisingly using the Earth Escape Skill, burrowed into the ground, and her aura shot straight out of the cave.

The two demons roared angrily and followed closely.

"Brother Zhu, don't block them!"

Zhang Kui hurriedly reminded.

Zhu Sheng, though unsure of what was happening, sensibly stepped aside.

Unfortunately, the enraged Mountain Demon casually swiped, intending to remove Zhu Sheng's head.

"Stabilize!"

Zhang Kui's voice came from behind.

The Mountain Demon Old Demon instantly froze all over, rolling on the ground.

Zhu Sheng didn't miss the opportunity, a flash of sword light, a mournful howl followed, the Old Demon was shockingly severed of an arm.

Meanwhile, the young girl and the white-robed Old Demon had already chased far ahead, vanishing without a trace.

Hoo, hoo...

The Mountain Demon knew it couldn't catch up, and panted heavily, glaring at them with fury nearly tangible.

Old Huang had mentioned that demons cultivate through three paths: bloodline, moon worship, and imitating humans.

The bloodline strengthens the physique, adept in innate divine powers.

Imitating humans leads to stable progress and the ability to learn human race skills.

As for moon worship, it involves cultivating a demon pill, making mana far more profound than the other two.

The Mountain Demon Old Demon's expression was grim, its terrifying aura continually spreading, making the entire cave rumble, with constant dust and stones falling.

Seeing this, Zhu Sheng didn't hesitate, pinching a spell, and with a sword gesture, "Pierce!"

The Nether Void Sword instantly shot out, brilliant as a cascade, like lightning.

"Flying sword?!"

The Mountain Demon was evidently startled, shrieked, and immediately vanished.

Simultaneously, a sudden wild wind howled inside the cave, flying sand and stones, large millstone-sized bluestones pelted down like rain.

This was clearly some form of magic from the Mountain Demon.

Clang, clang, clang!

Zhu Sheng's sword light danced, circling him several times, shredding the massive stones to dust.

Regrettably, wielding a flying sword consumed enormous energy, as Zhu Sheng's face turned pale, finding it difficult to continue.

"Hahaha..."

The Mountain Demon Old Demon's figure flickered amidst the gale, "Kid, daring to provoke this elder with just a flying sword, you're seeking death!"

The wind intensified, a few even larger boulders flew in from outside, showcasing the mana superiority of the old demon in the Grain Avoidance Realm.

But just as it boasted, Zhang Kui suddenly charged forward, his figure like a bear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The boulders shattered along his path, relieving Zhu Sheng's encirclement, while a menacing black light flashed, and the Lu Li Sword struck forcefully at the Mountain Demon.

The magic was interrupted, and the Mountain Demon roared, its form turning into shadows, swirling around Zhang Kui.

Even with one arm left, its sharp claw was no less deadly than a sword or blade, a hit could be fatal.

Zhang Kui was already aware of its speed, simultaneously using Life Light Skill, Clone Skill, and Qi Prohibition Skill, blending two shadows together, energy waves scattering.

Zhu Sheng watched anxiously from the side but dared not approach, fearing to injure Zhang Kui with the flying sword.

Suddenly, from within the shadows, came several consecutive calls, "Stabilize! Stabilize! Stabilize!"

Then a black light flashed, and everything went silent.

Plop,

The Mountain Demon was cleaved in two, lying on the ground.

Zhang Kui panted heavily and gave a grim smile.

Although the opponent had already lost an arm, it was his first frontal confrontation, slaying an old demon in the Grain Avoidance Realm.

He hadn't even had time to rejoice.

Bang!

The cave entrance suddenly exploded, and a figure hovered as it flew in—National Guardian True Man Tianji Zi.

His face was somber, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his skin sizzled with lightning flashes.

"Where is the person?"
