"Ignore him . Leave at full speed," Lu Sheng ordered in a lowered voice .
With this, the two of them sped off .
Yun Ye was not moving fast . Coincidentally, Liu'er's forte was in the Escape Arts . She had lowered her guard just now, while she was going off at full speed at this moment . The distance between them did not shorten, but had increased instead .
Yun Ye was slightly flustered when he saw this . It was not easy for him to catch up to the heavily wounded Four Seas Sect's sect master . If he could gobble up the two of them in one go, the time he needed to recover and improve his strength would have been greatly shortened .
He displayed a greedy expression on his face, and black Devil Qi rolled out of his body . He used it to accelerate .
"Brother, can you wait up? This poor Taoist has no ill intentions . " He put on the guise of an innocent passerby . He wanted to numb the two of them, but they did not fall for his trick .
"I am rogue cultivator Si Yuan . We have passed by each other just now, and I could see from afar that you're in some sort of pain . I think you need some magical pills to return your condition to its peak . It just so happens that I have many of these pills at hand . The prices are negotiable . Why don't the two of you stop and take a look?"
Yun Ye had randomly thought of an identity as a disguise . There was actually a real rogue cultivator Si Yuan, who was also a True Lord of the Devil Path . He was also a middleman among the True Lords . He was fond of oddities, and liked to sell an assortment of strange pills .
Unfortunately, this True Lord was immediately devoured by him not long ago when they met . The various pills he had on him naturally became Yun Ye's property .
His idea was that the Four Seas Sect was based overseas, and should not be privy to the happenings in the central plains . That was why he disguised himself as the rogue cultivator Si Yuan .
Rogue cultivator Si Yuan's cultivation base was only at the Early stage Nascent Soul tier . The cultivation base aura which he was revealing right now was also of the Early stage . Liu'er was also at the Early stage . In truth, he did not pose much of a threat .
When she heard him say those words, Liu'er started to hesitate slightly .
She had heard of the rogue cultivator Si Yuan before, but she had never met him . That person was always wearing various masks, and brought various Instruments with him . From the rumors, she knew that he had many wonderful treasures and pills . If they could actually obtain some pills that could temporarily replenish their cultivation bases through trade, it should be very useful to the sect master .
"Rogue cultivator Si Yuan?" said Lu Sheng, puzzled . "Who's that?"
"A rogue cultivator True Lord who loves oddities . His greatest hobby in life is to do business with others and collect all sorts of strange objects and pills," Liu'er explained . Then, she told Lu Sheng everything she knew about rogue cultivator Si Yuan in detail .
After Lu Sheng listened to the introduction, he muttered to himself .
"Are there any more secluded locations nearby? It'll be best if the location is a Forbidden Land isolated from Origin Qi of heaven and earth . "
"Uh…" Liu'er gave it some thought . "There is one place like that . Around a hundred kilometers to the west, there's the Dragon Miasma Swamp . That place is filled with miasma throughout the year . Origin Qi of heaven and earth couldn't even enter that place . Does that suit your requirements, Sect Master?"
"That'll do . " Lu Sheng nodded . Then, he closed his eyes to recuperate again .
The two of them flew swiftly in front, while Yun Ye gave close chase from behind . The grayish-green miasma in the surrounding air slowly thickened and increased in density . Even a whiff of the air would fill their nostrils with a clear and pricking sensation .
After they entered the Dragon Miasma Swamp, Liu'er flew slower and slower . Yun Ye finally caught up to them as well . The two of them went forward together .
"Shall we make a stop, friends?" He suddenly flung out a patch of black Devil Qi which precisely blocked the way of the white cloud which Lu Sheng and Liu'er were on .
Liu'er hastily dispersed the white cloud, supported Lu Sheng with one arm, and jumped down . They landed in a forest filled with fallen leaves .
It was a dark green forest with a yellow grassland around it . Dark crimson sunlight shone down from above at an angle in fragmented rays . The two parties swiftly came to a stop in such an environment .
Yun Ye landed slowly with a genial smile on his face .
"Why did the two of you run faster when you saw me? My business has always been consensual and fair . I don't recall ever having a bad record . "

As he spoke, thick black goo oozed from his fingers behind his back . The goo seemed alive . It tunneled into the ground and vanished in an instant .
"Hack, hack…" Lu Sheng supported himself with a tree trunk and coughed twice . He stood up straight, and his gaze fell onto the Taoist who was landing slowly . "Seems like your cultivation base is slightly too weak . Oh well, it's better than nothing . "
Yun Ye was puzzled . He did not understand what he meant . However, the heavily wounded Four Seas Sect's sect master before him was definitely the greatest chance he would ever get . The terrifying supernatural power which was so immense that it made his heart fill with irresistible itch was definitely the greatest tonic he had encountered to date .
The ground under his feet was slowly turning black . A huge patch of Devil Qi silently emanated in all directions from under the ground like a shadow, and quickly claimed the area under their feet .
"Wait, you're . . . ?!" Liu'er was suddenly stunned . She noticed that something was off, and quickly took two steps back . However, she noticed with fright that her legs were being fixed in place . She could not move an inch from where she stood .
"Heh…" A black mass of rolling and contorted Devil Qi started appearing behind Yun Ye . Two dark red dragon eyes glowed within the Devil Qi, and he stared at Lu Sheng and Liu'er with malicious, violent, and greedy eyes .
"I've been found out so quickly… What sharp senses you have…" He licked his lips, and slowly inched closer to them .
The devil shadow behind him swelled and enlarged . From the height of a person, it swiftly grew until it was two meters, three meters, four meters, five meters…
With the infusion of Devil Qi, the enlarging devil shadow's outline gradually grew clearer .
It was a humanoid devil with dark red flames for its hair . It wore thick, heavy, and fierce spiked armor . Its shoulders seemed to be covered in streamers as well .
The devil entrenched itself behind Yun Ye . Its eyes were blood-red, and it unleashed a bone-chilling cold wind as if it was the eye of a storm .
"But that's alright… It doesn't matter even if you've discovered my identity . After all, the two of you will become one with me anyway . Rejoice, for you're able to merge as one with me, the supreme Ancient Devil . This is a grace that even the high-ranking Devil Clans of the Devil World can only dream about . "
The devil behind him was growing in size; it grew in ferocity and contortion as well . Many small black eyes started appearing on the muscles of its body as well .
The densely packed eyes were concentrated at the center of the devil shadow's chest, and they blinked in patches .

"I'm sure you never thought about this, Four Seas Sect's Sect Master . For you, who only went to the Vital Energy Sect to acquire justice for yourself, to be gravely wounded, and now targeted on your way back . Initially, I thought that the fate which the Vital Energy Sect so fondly talks about is only an illusory figment, but now it seems that there is some credibility to it .
"Humans always come up with some baffling and weird yet logical things . You were this close to completely destroying the Vital Energy Sect, yet you allowed that sect master to turn the tables on you . That's why you're in such a sorry state right now . "
His main body slowly merged with the devil behind him . Then, he turned around slowly and looked up at the skies . He expressed his thoughts while sighing with emotion .
"How sad . Such are humans, the race that can never look at their own defects in the face . Promise? What farce is that? Life is meant to evolve amid mutual slaughter . Promise, trustworthiness, commitment, oath? These are unimportant . As long as I can grow stronger, I'm willing to give up anything . Or maybe, these things can be done without in the first place . These are merely tools which humans bind themselves with . Sometimes, you can only understand this after you've freed yourself from all these shackles . The nature of these things is only to restrict you . Now, let me see, as a human, what's your final resolve…" Yun Ye turned around and spread his arms out . His expression suddenly froze .
Not far from the side of his devil shadow, a colossal and savage-looking devil who resembled a small mountain covered in bony outgrowths was looking down on him from its high vantage point as Yun Ye blabbered away .
The devil was up to 70 meters tall . As it sat cross-legged on the ground, it was subconsciously releasing a distorted and peculiar aura .
Its huge and thick tail was swaying subconsciously as it sat there . Meanwhile, its colossal shadow covered Yun Ye and enveloped his entire person . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
"Go on . This is my first time hearing a devil having such deep thoughts," Lu Sheng (main body version) said with a smile . He was looking down on Yun Ye, who, compared to him, was about the size of a hamster .
Yun Ye's expression froze . He stared at Lu Sheng for a while . Then, he slowly and stiffly shifted his gaze toward the Mount Qi's chief, Liu'er, who was already sprawled on the ground . Beads of sweat trickled slowly down his forehead .
"I… s-suddenly… r-remembered… There's… some… something important… that I've y-yet to accomplish… G-great Sect Master, aren't you in a hurry to go back? I'll… take… my leave…"
"Bam!"
His seven-meter-tall devil's body was pressed down with a single thumb . Yun Ye was mercilessly crushed into the fallen leaves and black soil on the ground .
The ground in an area of few hundred meters sunk, while Yun Ye's body grew limp . Lu Sheng pulled him out by the head with two fingers and shook him .

"Weren't you giving a great speech just now? Go on . Those were very interesting arguments . I've eaten many devils, but this is my first time encountering a devil that's as opinionated as you . " Lu Sheng shook off the dirt on Yun Ye's body with interest .
'So, even a vegetable can think . ' This was Lu Sheng's current thought . 'Interesting . '
The Ancient Devil's Devil Qi on Yun Ye's body was being completely suppressed by the terrifying distorting force field on Lu Sheng's body . In Lu Sheng's eyes, the so-called Devil Qi on his body was but the most ordinary Devil World's Devil Qi's diluted version in the Great Yin .
He had lost count of how many such devils he had devoured in the past . Although this particular one was impressive in terms of quantity, quality didn't change still .
His Eight-Headed Devil Art had practically become the Devil Clan's bane .
"I… I… I…" Yun Ye's body was limp . The Devil Qi on him did not even seem to belong to himself . He was trembling violently as if he had met his natural enemy . His nerves were frantically sending out signals of fear and terror, and his entire system screamed for him to flee .
"Are you shocked dumb from fright?" Lu Sheng was slightly disappointed . He could manifest his main body in this world for a short time now . However, his limit was two hours . Otherwise, he would be facing the natural repulsion of this world .
When he saw that Yun Ye was completely scared out of his wits already, out of helplessness, he could only lift him up and plop him into his mouth .
"Forget it . Although he's slightly stupid, he's filling enough . " This three rows of sharp teeth clicked shut . He chewed and swallowed .
"Gulp . "
Blood, water, bones, and flesh were mixed with slight black Devil Qi . Some of it leaked out from the edge of Lu Sheng's lips, and he licked it with his barbed tongue .
With that mouthful, there was one less Ancient Demon with the name of Yun Ye in the world . The world would see one less terrible disaster .
Lu Sheng smacked his lips . He shifted his gaze toward Liu'er, who was feigning unconsciousness .
After a brief moment of hesitation, he did not eat her . This little snake demon knew her place, after all .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
