Chapter 24: I’m Scared!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Nothing is happening, could he have left?”
Hidden in the grass, Zhou Yuan frowned as he looked at the extremely quiet mansion in front of him.
The two of them had been waiting here for nearly three hours and they still hadn’t discovered anything substantial. They didn’t even hear any voices. Could it be that the “teacher” who taught Liu Yi demonic skills had already left silently?
“Wait a little more. If no one comes out, we’ll sneak in and take a look!”
Liu Chang said after a moment of hesitation
Zhou Yuan wore a helpless look on his face. He was about to reply and talk with Liu Chang to relieve some of his exhaustion when his pupils suddenly shrank. “Look, there seemed to be something coming out…”
Liu Chang looked over and saw a head slowly emerging from the sewer connected to the cesspool. Looking at his size and appearance, he seemed to be a child who was maybe ten years of age. The latter’s face was dark and an unpleasant smell came from his body.
Struggling to crawl out, the child turned to look at the courtyard with a fervent expression on his face. His teeth were clenched tight, and his voice was cold and dark. “I, Nirvana, swear that I will definitely kill all of you, as well as everyone in the Immortal Guardian Sect!”
“Every single one of you! I will spare no one!”
As his words fell, waves of demonic aura burst forth from his body. The aura seemed to be in sync with his words as they radiated outwards.
“It’s a demonic cultivator!”
Liu Chang and Zhou Yuan were startled.
There was really a demonic cultivator in this courtyard.
Furthermore, he was saying that he was going to kill everyone from the Immortal Guardian Sect…
It was scary!
“What should we do?”
Zhou Yuan’s body trembled.
“We are definitely not a match for a powerful demonic cultivator like this one. Let’s hurry back to the sect as soon as possible and report to the Hall of Elders before he discovers us!”
Liu Chang transmitted his voice.
“We have no other choice…”
Zhou Yuan nodded.
They were only Gathering Breath Realm disciples. Faced with a demonic cultivator who had such an astonishing aura, there was no way they could hope to take him on. They could only report it as soon as possible and let the seniors in the sect deal with the matter.
Holding their breath, the two of them slowly backed away. When they were already somewhat distant from the compound, they noticed that they hadn’t attracted the attention of the demonic cultivator. It was at this moment that they finally sighed in relief.
“Let’s hurry up!”
They rushed back to the sect.
Liu Yi was colluding with a demonic race powerhouse, and that person from the demon race wanted to destroy the Immortal Guardian Sect… regardless of which it was, both were shocking news. This was not something they could take responsibility for and handle on their own.
…
“Luckily, they left…”
The child in front of the mansion swayed. Unable to remain standing, he fell.
This was none other than the Nirvana Demon King who was trying his best to escape.
His injuries were too serious, and he had barely any strength left in his body. He was unable to use his skills like “Sneak” and “Variety”.
In desperation, he could only crawl out slowly through the sewer.
He did not expect to detect two auras hidden nearby once he left the mansion.
They had used a talisman to hide their auras.
With the talisman, it was difficult for ordinary people to detect them, but he was still an extremely powerful figure. Even if he was seriously injured, his awareness was still functional.
That was why he had deliberately said something menacing and released some of his demonic aura.
Sure enough, the two hidden youths who were only at Gathering Breath Realm were immediately scared away…
“After being poisoned, the Sage’s Truth I absorbed from the sewers might have allowed me to move temporarily, but… it’s still impossible to escape!”
The two men running off didn’t mean that he was safe.
His injuries were just too severe, and he was poisoned. He may not die so soon, but he lost all of his combat effectiveness. If an expert came along, even if it was just someone who was at the Immortal Temple Realm, he could easily die.
But if he didn’t escape, he would definitely be tortured to death by the three fellows inside…
What should he do?
“We’re finally home…”
As he was still in the middle of deliberating his next course of action, a faint voice wafted over to him not too far away.
He turned his head in a hurry and he immediately saw the owner of the three beasts approaching his location. The donkey—whom he was afraid of—followed not far behind.
“I can’t escape now…”
His vision darkened and the Nirvana Demon King’s face twitched.
He was so miserable all thanks to the donkey.
He wanted to escape but was blocked. He would definitely be beaten up again.
Survival was now an impossible dream…
“Eh? No!”
At his most desperate moment, an idea suddenly came to him. “This boy has no power!”
“If I can find a way to hold him hostage. Those three demonic beasts might not dare to touch me!”
“They might even listen to my orders…”
He had specially tested the boy previously and discovered that the boy was just an ordinary person…
As long as he managed to hold him as a hostage, he might be able to turn his situation around.
“That’s what I will do!”
Knowing that there was nowhere else to go, the Nirvana Demon King swayed. He then closed his eyes tightly and laid on the ground.
He had no power and there was no way he could sustain the skill “Variety”.
The only thing he could do was to “play dead” and let the youth come over to investigate. Once the youth came near, he was fully confident that he would be able to take the youth as his hostage. Even if the donkey was nearby, it would not be able to react in time!
“Why is there a person lying here?”
The Nirvana Demon King prepared himself, and the youth’s surprised voice reverberated in his ears. The sound of approaching footsteps soon followed.
After leaving the market, Su Yin rode the donkey all the way back. Fortunately, they were able to return to the residence before dark. He got off the donkey and was about to walk inside when he saw a child lying in the doorway.
The physical body of the Nirvana Demon King looked like an 11 or 12-year-old child. He was only about 1.4 meters tall. From his appearance, it would be extremely difficult to conclude that the child was the Nirvana Demon King.
People would most likely think he was just a lost child.
“He’s coming…”
As he heard the footsteps approach, the Demon King became full of excitement.
He was about to jump up and grab the youth when the latter’s voice rang out once again.
“It’s so desolate here, and yet there is someone lying on the ground…”
“It’s a little strange.”
“Big Black! Go and give him a few kicks. If he moves, he must be a cheat!”
“???”
The Demon King stiffened.
The script was not developing in the right way.
If an ordinary person saw a child lying on the ground, wouldn’t he quickly try to save and take care of the child?
Why would he ask the donkey to come and kick it?
Although I’m not a human being, you’re worse than a dog!
If I can move I’m a cheat… So, should I move or not?
This is so unfair…
The Nirvana Demon King was still in the middle of deciding if he should get up and explain himself when he saw that the donkey had already jumped over to him in excitement.
As it rushed over, it brayed…
“Heehaw! Heehaw! Heehaw!”
Thump!
Before the Nirvana Demon King could say anything, the huge donkey hoof descended upon him once more.
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
His skeleton and flesh which had just recovered a little were once again trampled to mush.
The Nirvana Demon King froze in place, and he could no longer hold back his tears.
Just what the heck is this place? Who are these people? I’m scared!
