The Devil's Messenger

Xiao Feng's speed had reached its limit, and he didn't dare to slow down in the slightest.

Although the strength of the Demon Clan might not be as great as his, he understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant better than anyone.

Xiao Feng's body kept moving through the Mountain Forest, trying to shake off their sight.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he found that no one else was following behind, which brought a smile to his face.

Just as he thought he had escaped, a figure appeared before him out of thin air, blocking his only path.

Xiao Feng could sense from the aura on his body alone that he should be a powerful figure of the Demon Clan.

To carve out a path for himself, he placed the Shanhe Sword in front of him and swung it down fiercely.

The powerful figure of the Demon Clan watched the sword shadow fall before him, a smile appearing on his face. With a casual pinch, the sword shadow instantly disappeared.

Xiao Feng had never thought someone could use such a method to counter his sword shadow, and the speed of his feet immediately slowed down.

Just then, the people behind caught up.

Li Cai'er watched Xiao Feng being intercepted, subconsciously glanced at the man in black, and bowed respectfully: "Heavenly Devil Envoy."

The man called Heavenly Devil Envoy nodded slightly: "So many of you trying to capture one person, and you almost let him escape? That's very disappointing."

When Li Cai'er heard that the Heavenly Devil Envoy was subtly blaming her, she lowered her head again.

Originally, their plan was to trap him within the Formation, but no one expected Xiao Feng to have placed the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal elsewhere.

Xiao Feng watched them chatting, hardened his heart, and once again fled towards the Mountain Forest.

Originally, he thought he could contend somewhat with his speed, but who knew the Heavenly Devil Envoy would suddenly appear before him and intercept him again.

This time, Xiao Feng had no ability to resist and was captured by them.

The Heavenly Devil Envoy brought Xiao Feng before Li Cai'er: "Tie him up as quickly as possible. I suspect the item is on this kid."

The Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal was a very important item. He absolutely didn't believe Xiao Feng would give it to someone else or bury it elsewhere.

Li Cai'er humored the Heavenly Devil Envoy, greeted the black figures around, and directed the Evil Qi within her body around Xiao Feng.

In just ten breaths, a black Evil Qi cage trapped him inside.

Xiao Feng drew out the Shanhe Sword, wanting to use the Shanhe Sword to shatter the black Evil Qi cage.

Who knew the cage actually had a backlash ability? Not only did his Spirit Energy fail to break the black Evil Qi cage, but he was instead knocked to the ground by the backlash force emanating from the cage.

If it weren't for his considerable personal strength, he would surely have died here.

The Heavenly Devil Envoy, seeing that Xiao Feng had been captured, couldn't help but say to Li Cai'er: "You stay here and watch this kid. I'll go bring that person back too."

In his view, if the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal wasn't on Xiao Feng, it must be on Lu Xue'er.

Keeping both of them confined here was the most appropriate choice.

Li Cai'er watched the Heavenly Devil Envoy leave, then came back to Xiao Feng, sneering: "Why aren't you running anymore? Weren't you very capable?"

Xiao Feng looked at Li Cai'er's playful gaze, shrugging his shoulders helplessly: "It's useless to capture me. The item isn't on me. Just kill me if you must."

The reason he was so fearless was because he had the Check-in System on him. He believed the Check-in System wouldn't let him die here inexplicably.

Since the Heavenly Devil Envoy hadn't returned yet, the black figures' suggestion to take Xiao Feng away was not approved.

Li Cai'er glanced at Xiao Feng and couldn't help but say to the black figures: "Look around the Mountain Forest. If you encounter cultivators, kill them."

The black figures nodded slightly and disappeared from here.

Xiao Feng watched them leave, a faint smile on his face: "You sent them all away. There must be something you want to tell me privately, right?"

He had long since seen that Li Cai'er was unusual; otherwise, she would have no reason to keep bothering him.

When Li Cai'er heard Xiao Feng's voice, she nodded slightly: "That's right. I have something I need to talk to you about privately. I wonder if you're free?"

Xiao Feng pointed his chin towards the surrounding black Evil Qi: "I'm already trapped inside by you. Ask whatever questions you have, but I won't necessarily answer them."

In his view, his life was already in their hands. Handing over the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal would also mean death.

Li Cai'er walked up to Xiao Feng, her face full of seriousness: "I'm telling you very seriously, as long as you can give me the item, I'm willing to let you go privately."

To prove there were no other Demon Clan members around, she deliberately moved aside, letting him see that there were no Demon Clan members in the vicinity.

Xiao Feng watched Li Cai'er desperately needing the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal, his brow furrowing slightly: "Why do you all need something like this? Is it very important to your Demon Clan?"

Li Cai'er heard that Xiao Feng seemed to be considering giving it to her, found a safe spot to sit down, and nodded slightly.

"You are not one of the Demon Clan. I can tell you some things about the Demon Clan. Our Demon Clan currently has no Demon Sovereign. Do you know how high the status of a Demon Sovereign is?"

Even someone with the strength of the Heavenly Devil Envoy is coveting this position; otherwise, no one would be able to enlist an old fellow with that kind of strength.

Xiao Feng heard that the Demon Clan currently had no Demon Sovereign and pondered for a moment: "What does having no Demon Sovereign have to do with the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal? Could it be..."

Li Cai'er knew he had guessed something and chuckled lightly: "It's useless for you humans to get the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal. As long as one of our Demon Clan obtains the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal, they will be the next Demon Sovereign. Do you understand?"

In her opinion, as long as she became the Demon Sovereign, letting Xiao Feng go would have no impact on her at all.

Li Cai'er extended her hand, her face full of anticipation: "How about it? Hand over the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal to me, and I am willing to let you leave safely, absolutely without sending anyone to pursue you."

Xiao Feng looked into Li Cai'er's eyes and understood that the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal was very likely capable of providing them with extraordinary power.

Since that was the case, Xiao Feng was even less able to hand over the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal to them.

He shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "The Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal is indeed not on me. It's futile for you to keep me here. You might as well go chase my companion."

In his eyes, Lu Xue'er had very likely already begun Flying with Sword.

Even if the Demon Clan transformed into black figures to pursue now, they couldn't possibly catch up to Lu Xue'er.

Once she returned to the Qing Sect, it wouldn't be so easy for the Demon Clan to enter.

Li Cai'er saw that Xiao Feng was unwilling to say anything and slammed a palm fiercely against a nearby tree trunk: "Stop trying to trick me with your child's games. Someone will make you talk later."

She understood that nothing she said would be useful and could only yield this opportunity to the Heavenly Devil Envoy, hoping the Heavenly Devil Envoy could obtain the Demon Sovereign Mysterious Seal from him.
