Chapter 2926
Even though only their souls remained, when the moment arrives for them to seek a new body or find some pills to restore their physical form, they still have a chance to survive!
This way, while they might lose some of their power, it is certainly preferable to facing death!
Just moments ago, if the two had not been shielded by the Supreme Fire protecting their heart veins, Kai’s demon-drawing whip would have sent their souls into oblivion with just a single strike.
“Older brother, we must hurry back! This kid wields the Demon Whip; we need to inform the Demon Ancestor,” one of them urged.
With that, they resumed their flight into the distance!
However, shortly after taking off, they encountered three individuals radiating a formidable, unmistakable aura of the demon race!
“Eldest Miss, it’s Eldest Miss ……”
Upon seeing her, their excitement surged, and they flew toward her!
These three were none other than Linglong, who had previously brought the two demon protectors to investigate the site where the soul was sealed and to take Kai away in the process!
Noticing the state of the two demon cultivators, Linglong’s brow creased with concern.
“What has happened to you two?”
She inquired, her expression icy!
“Eldest Miss, you must avenge us! We never expected those people to escape; the cave collapsed, and their souls were buried beneath,” one demon cultivator recounted the events as they occurred.
Upon hearing about the demon whip, Linglong’s demeanor became tense!
“Are you saying that not only does this kid possess our Demon Clan’s Supreme Fire, but he also has the Demon Whip?”
“Is he truly only at the third rank of the Combined Body realm?”
Linglong found it hard to believe.
How could a cultivator at the third rank of the Combination Realm have such a vast array of abilities? Furthermore, how could such a small cultivator wield the Demon Whip?
“It’s true! Though he is merely at the third rank of the Harmony Realm, his divine sense is immensely powerful, which is why those people managed to escape,” the other cultivator explained.
“We have failed in our duty; please, punish us, Eldest Miss ……”
The two demon cultivators recognized the gravity of their failure and braced for punishment!
However, being in a soul state, they hoped their punishment would be lenient!
“You two are indeed incompetent, and punishment is warranted ……”
Linglong’s gaze darkened, and a flame erupted in her palm, engulfing the souls of the two cultivators in an instant!
“Ah …………”
“Eldest Miss, please spare our lives!” they cried out. “We have served the Demon Ancestor faithfully for years and have accomplished so much; why do you want to annihilate us?”
The two demon cultivators struggled, baffled by Linglong’s intentions!
“It is precisely because of all you have done that you must be eliminated. If you live, there’s a risk of many secrets being revealed ……”
Linglong maintained her calm demeanor, viewing the elimination of these two demon cultivators as insignificant as crushing ants.
With the soul seal destroyed and the Demon Whip now in circulation, these events dealt a significant blow to their demon race!
Currently, demon cultivators were like rats in a trap, and it had taken years for the Yan Devils to gather a group of followers under their command!
If news of this spread among the demon ranks, it would surely incite panic and might even lead to some fleeing!
Therefore, to stabilize their forces, the two had to be silenced!
Before long, the souls of the two demon cultivators were thoroughly consumed by the Supreme Fire, leaving no trace behind!
“Eldest Miss, what should we do now? Should we continue searching for that person or return to report to the Demon Ancestor?” one of the Protectors asked.
“Let’s not inform the Master just yet; we need to find those individuals first. I want to capture that boy and present the Demon Whip to the Master,” Linglong declared.
“This will prevent the Master from becoming angry; otherwise, we will certainly face reprimands for returning empty-handed!”
Linglong understood that though the two had failed, the Infernal Demon had entrusted this matter to her. If she displeased him, reprimands were inevitable!
Being scolded was minor, but losing favor due to the rise of Su Yuqi as a formidable figure beside Yan Mo would be a significant loss for Linglong!
Thus, she resolved to capture Kai first and deliver him to the Inferno Demon for judgment!
