51: Ten days have arrived
When Lu Ze emerged from the Spiritual Qi Gate, Fu Liang was still meditating nearby.
Sensing the change in his surroundings, Fu Liang opened his eyes and glanced around. Seeing Lu Ze come out, he stood up and asked, “Young Master Lu, did you get it?”
Lu Ze nodded, “I got it.”
Seeing that he had obtained the item, Fu Liang felt relieved and asked, “There are still two days left until the ten-day deadline. Should we return to the teleportation point to wait, or…?”
“Only two days left?”
Lu Ze clicked his tongue, “Let’s go kill demons!”
With that, Lu Ze dragged Fu Liang away and, without regard for the night, charged into the midst of the demons, beginning a slaughter!
...Two days later!
The sun had just risen, but it was only around six or seven in the morning.
The previous teleportation point had already gathered many people, but compared to when they first came out, more than half were gone.
Qin Wan and Song Wushuang had been waiting there for a long time. They had jointly set up a formation, protecting the early arrivals and keeping the demons out.
Protected by these two aristocratic family members, everyone naturally flattered them a few times and then obediently waited.
Tang Chenyi, having been released, sat dejectedly, his expression somber, lost in thought.
It wasn't until daylight, nearing ten o'clock, that two figures soared from a distance, their Aura extremely powerful!
Many people sensed them, and several who considered themselves somewhat strong stood up, gripping their weapons. This place was fraught with danger, and they needed to be ready to react if anything happened.
“Boom!”
The two figures charged all the way, then suddenly descended, landing a few meters outside the formation. Several demons that were blocking the outside were directly trampled to death!
Dust billowed, and the ground was visibly slightly sunken.
Seeing this, everyone gasped, their hands gripping their weapons trembling.
With such power, if they were demons, they would be no match at all!
As the dust settled, Lu Ze and Fu Liang’s faces appeared. Everyone’s hearts immediately relaxed, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Lu Ze, holding Fu Liang, entered the formation.
At this moment, Lu Ze looked refreshed, as if he had a very good few days, while Fu Liang next to him had two dark circles under his eyes. After sitting on the ground, both his hands were trembling.
Lu Ze sat cross-legged, entering meditation, quietly waiting for the teleportation point to open.
And Fu Liang sat down close to Qin Wan and the others, his eyes unfocused, staring blankly ahead.
Qin Wan frowned. She had known Fu Liang for quite some time. Before, no matter what happened, Fu Liang would never be like this. He was still very energetic when they parted, so how did he become so listless in just two days?
“You… what happened to you?”
Qin Wan asked, while taking out two bottles of Spirit Medicine and handing them to him.
Fu Liang turned his head and, with trembling hands, pulled out a long sword from his Storage Ring. On this long sword, several nicks appeared, and even the blade was somewhat bent. It was already Waste, unusable.
“Do you know what kind of days I’ve been through these past two days? This sword, a High Grade Yellow Rank! It’s been hacked like this! Young Master Lu, is he a psychopath?! He can’t move when he sees a demon, and he just drags me along to hack at it!”
Fu Liang’s hands were still trembling, “My hands are numb from hacking, and he gets more excited the more he hacks! He went almost two days without eating, drinking, or sleeping. If it weren’t for the time running out, I bet he could have kept hacking!”
Qin Wan listened to Fu Liang’s complaints, her mouth twitching. Such a fanatic for slaying demons was truly rare in the world.
The others, listening, looked at Lu Ze with even greater awe.
After Lu Ze entered meditation, the System’s voice rang out.
【System Notification: Now clearing the host’s demon points from the past few days!】
【The demon points consumed by the host in the System Shop for purchasing items during this period have been deducted! Host’s current remaining demon points: 15685!】
Lu Ze opened his panel.
【Host: Lu Ze
Cultivation: Fourth Rank Early Stage (1000 / 12000)
Martial Skills: Crimson Flame Seal, Starry Sky Saber Technique, Thunder Spirit Art, Demon Array, Divergent Thunder Skill
Weapons: Fierce Evil Broadsword, Myriad Things Grow
Demon Points: 15685!】
Looking at the items that had increased on his panel, Lu Ze nodded with satisfaction. This trip had been quite fruitful.
However, although he had learned the Divergent Thunder Skill, he had not yet subdued the Different Lightning. It seemed he still needed to find time to visit the Xia family.
As for Myriad Things Grow, Lu Ze had already subdued it, but he still didn't know its true power. When he asked the System, the System couldn't give a complete answer, so he had to slowly explore and discover it.
“Ding ding ding ding~”
A series of alarm sounds rang out. Fu Liang tremblingly pulled out his phone from his pocket, swiped off the alarm, “It’s ten o’clock.”
Everyone perked up. Finally, they were returning to Xuanyuan City!
Finally, they could leave this accursed place!
As time slowly passed, everyone waited, but Xia Yuanhong did not arrive.
“Didn’t that Xia Yuanhong say he would come back to open the teleportation point? It’s almost ten past ten!”
“Yeah, did he go in first and abandon us?!”
“Damn it, that bastard, does he want us to die?!”
“That guy really is problematic. I never heard before that the first mission to enter the Demon Subduing Division was this difficult!”
Everyone was in a panic. If they couldn’t leave here and return to Xuanyuan City, with their current strength and the food and water in their Storage Rings, they wouldn’t last long outside!
They had no idea that Xia Yuanhong had long since died, his head even taken by Fu Liang and placed in his Storage Ring.
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz!”
Suddenly, another phone ringtone sounded. Everyone looked over, and it was Lu Ze’s.
Lu Ze swiped away the ten past ten phone alarm and stood up. Everyone immediately fell silent.
In front of this powerful expert’s absolute strength, they dared not say much.
Moreover, if they couldn’t go back, Lu Ze couldn’t either. This person was a Disciple with a specific mentor, so he should have a way. Everyone consciously moved a little closer to Lu Ze.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Ze called out, then walked towards the massive Xuanyuan City shield!
Qin Wan and Song Wushuang together maintained the formation, following Lu Ze step by step.
Everyone also seemed to have found a leader, and their anxious hearts immediately calmed down, a hint of joy appearing on their faces.
Before long, the group arrived outside the outermost shield of Xuanyuan City.
Lu Ze took out the jade token Cheng Ran had given him and placed it directly on the outermost shield!
“Om!—”
The entire shield vibrated slightly, and its original golden color suddenly changed to white.
A figure quickly appeared in the buffer zone between the two shields!
The newcomer was a woman dressed in the specific green Demon Subduing Division uniform. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with cold eyes and dark red lipstick, making her appear even more domineering.
The person immediately crushed a Spiritual Qi ball and appeared within everyone’s formation.
She looked at everyone with disdain before frowning and asking, “Who are you people?”
