242: Escorting Lu Ze

It was almost noon when the team detaining Lu Ze was fully prepared!

There were over fifty of them, a mighty host!

The lowest Cultivation among them was at the Peak of the Sixth Rank!

Guan Tiancheng led the team, and Huan Shen was also among them!

When Lu Ze was taken down from the pillar, Huan Shen even exchanged a glance with him from afar before quickly looking away.

Beast One had received no instructions from Lu Ze, so he merely stayed hidden in the shadows of Xuanyuan City, not daring to move much!

Cheng Ran stepped forward and personally set up dozens of rune arrays, binding Lu Ze.

The former master and disciple meeting in such a way caused many to sigh with emotion, but Lu Ze's identity meant this was inevitable.

Lu Ze said nothing, allowing Cheng Ran to continuously add rune arrays to him!

When everything was ready, Cheng Ran paused and said, "Do you have any last wishes? If possible, I can help you fulfill them."

Lu Ze licked his lips, feeling as if the blood in his throat had dried up.

"I want to eat and drink water."

His hoarse voice was almost forced out of his throat.

Cheng Ran nodded, took out food and water, and slowly fed Lu Ze.

"Anything else?"

"Else?"

Lu Ze thought for a moment, then looked up. It was a rare beautiful day, with the bright sun shining down, illuminating all of Xuanyuan City. Under such a dazzling sun, it seemed his mood even improved.

"There is indeed one more thing."

Cheng Ran concentrated, waiting for Lu Ze to continue. Fulfilling Lu Ze's last wish would be a way to honor the master-disciple bond between them.

"Let those who can still look up at the sky look at it more. Soon, everyone won't be able to see it."

After saying that, Lu Ze laughed, a brazen laugh that left everyone baffled!

Among the detention team, someone sneered, "What is this alien saying? Once he reaches Nüwa City, and the Guan Jiang Department is eliminated, he'll be the one to die! We won't see the sky? He's the one who won't see it soon, right!"

"It's just an alien's fantasy before death. Let him fantasize; after all, a spiritual victory is still a victory for him!"

Guan Tiancheng slowly spoke, "Time is almost up, let's go!"

Everyone became alert, using a magical array to encase Lu Ze, and then led him into a teleportation gate!

The group entered one by one!

This teleportation gate was different from any Lu Ze had seen before. It didn't seem to be built upon Spiritual Qi, but rather an unseen yet powerful force.

This power was more akin to something related to demons, but without the distinctive, attention-grabbing aura of demons, making it impossible for those without a Spirit Eye to discern!

"A teleportation gate forged with the power of the Great Dao is truly powerful! It can even establish a teleportation gate outside the Human Base, allowing us to reach the ruins of Nüwa City directly!"

"Heh, Old Guan's power can even transcend Spiritual Qi! What's establishing a teleportation gate? Old Guan Cultivates the power of the Great Dao, which places him above everyone else! Even a Ninth Rank Peak isn't Old Guan's match!"

"It seems I should thank Lu Ze, this alien, otherwise I wouldn't have met such a powerful person as Old Guan!"

Lu Ze sat within the array, a cold sneer in his heart. So, by concealing demonic power and giving it a new name, it became the power these people praised!

How ironic!

This Guan Tiancheng's core was demonic power; he was a thorough "human demon" alien!

Lu Ze scanned the group. Among the fifty-odd people escorting him, three were at the Eighth Rank, and all of them also had demonic power within them!

There were nearly forty people at the Seventh Rank, and almost thirty of them possessed demonic power!

The rest were Sixth Rank Peak, and they were all pure Spiritual Qi Cultivators!

In this group, human demons accounted for the vast majority!

And these pure Spiritual Qi Cultivators were praising these "demons"!

Lu Ze shook his head. The voice that had appeared many times in his mind rang out again!

"Spread benevolence across the world! Lu Ze!"

"Annihilate this world! Lu Ze, end this era! Usher in a new world!"

This ethereal voice came from an unknown place, layered and overlapping, an outcry from an unknown number of people!

...In this teleportation tunnel, the group traveled for three full days!

A ray of light finally appeared before them!

"We're here!"

Guan Tiancheng pointed to the light ahead and instructed, "As soon as we step through that gate, we'll be near the Nüwa City ruins. There are no shields or barriers there, so there might be many demons, or even people from the Guan Jiang Department, lying in ambush! Everyone, stay alert!"

Everyone drew their weapons, ready for battle!

Following Guan Tiancheng's steps, they walked towards the light!

As the light faded, they stepped out of the tunnel!

Instantly!

A colossal figure immediately pressed down on them!

Guan Tiancheng snorted coldly. As he raised his hand, the massive figure split in two in mid-air, crashing down on either side!

At this moment, Lu Ze also sensed the presence of people nearby!

It was Zhong Sheng and his group!

Lu Ze used the power of the Territory Contract Talisman to directly instruct Zhong Sheng and his group to retreat temporarily and not expose themselves!

Zhong Sheng, who was hiding in the shadows, was about to launch an attack, but he received Lu Ze's command. He immediately restrained everyone, concealed their auras with the people of New City, and retreated!

The fifty-odd people escorting Lu Ze held their weapons, looking in all directions and listening intently, awaiting further attacks!

But contrary to their expectations, apart from the colossal demon body that had pressed down on them, there was no other movement!

Guan Tiancheng was also very puzzled. He had clearly detected the whereabouts of a group of rats, but they had suddenly retreated. Could it be that upon seeing his strength, they had given up?

If so, wouldn't Lu Ze fail to provoke an attack from these people, and how then could he kill that group?

After pondering for a while, Guan Tiancheng finally instructed, "Let's establish a temporary base nearby. Tomorrow, Lu Ze will be officially executed!"

Everyone agreed, splitting into teams. Some guarded the perimeter on patrol, while others began to take out materials to build a temporary base!

Huan Shen also joined in, seemingly just a regular member of the team!

Cheng Ran and Guan Tiancheng sat on either side of Lu Ze, quietly guarding him.

Lu Ze asked Cheng Ran for some food and water, continuing to fill his stomach. Later, he even asked for a wet towel and wiped his face.

Guan Tiancheng sneered, "Why bother? You're going to die tomorrow. When the blade falls, your face will inevitably be splattered with blood."

Lu Ze flipped the towel in his hand and continued to wipe his hands, "That's not quite right."

This denial caught the attention of Guan Tiancheng and Cheng Ran.

"Oh? Then tell me, where did this old man speak incorrectly?"

"According to what you said, since one is going to die anyway, there's no need to care about one's appearance. Then, since you're all human demons anyway, why bother desperately using Spiritual Qi to conceal your demonic Qi?"
