858: Chapter 242_6 858: Chapter 242_6 He had naturally fled, but why couldn’t he exit through the corridor ahead that clearly had an exit?
What was this situation?
The Eclipse Demon stared dumbfounded at the unapproachable exit, nearly going insane.
That was Cao Zhen, the Cao Zhen from the Hundred Peaks Sect, the very person he had led an attack against the Hundred Peaks Sect himself.
Many from the Hundred Peaks Sect had died because of him, how could Cao Zhen possibly not attempt to kill him upon seeing him?
Though he had once entered a relic and gained an inheritance, how could he possibly be a match for Cao Zhen?
Right, the relic, the inheritance.
If only that senior, the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master, were still around.
But this was a different relic, could that senior still appear?
Facing Cao Zhen, the Eclipse Demon now had no means left and could only desperately call out for the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master in the hallway, hoping that the senior would appear and help him through this predicament!
Cao Zhen, seeing that the Eclipse Demon was unable to leave, was momentarily stunned, before he came to his senses.
Within this corridor, after retreating, one didn’t return to the corridor through which they had entered, but to another corridor, hence the Eclipse Demon was unable to leave.
This Eclipse Demon was really quite unlucky.
If he had been able to leave, Cao Zhen would have let him go, but now, with just the two of them here, why would Cao Zhen let him go?
What reason did he have?
Cao Zhen frowned as he watched the Eclipse Demon approach step by step.
He could tell that the Eclipse Demon was now panicking to the extreme, even continuously moving his lips, though it was unclear what he was saying.
Saying…
Cao Zhen, watching the shape of the Eclipse Demon’s mouth, suddenly realized that the Eclipse Demon might be calling for the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master.
At a time like this, did he still expect the identity Cao Zhen had impersonated to take action?
That’s not right, perhaps, Cao Zhen could play along.
A thought crossed Cao Zhen’s mind and his face suddenly took on a solemn expression, his body pausing before retreating step by step backwards.
Seeing Cao Zhen’s suddenly changing expression, the Eclipse Demon was momentarily stunned.
What was the situation?
It was now the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, who could possibly be Cao Zhen’s match?
Even a prince might not necessarily be a match for Cao Zhen.
But Cao Zhen’s behavior clearly indicated he was on his guard, even somewhat panicked.
Who could cause him to panic?
Amidst his confusion, Cao Zhen spoke again in a low voice, “Who are you?
It’s the Reversal Mini Epoch Period now, there shouldn’t be an existence like you.
How are you able to defy the limits of the Heavenly Dao.
That’s not right, you’re not in your complete form!
You’re trying to scare me!”
As he spoke, his face intentionally revealed a look of fury, and the six phantom Golden Cores at his back vibrated, seeming ready to strike at any moment.
Yet the next instant, he took another step back.
In a low voice he said, “It’s you, the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master!
I have heard of your name, the most powerful one in your epoch, the common enemy of all the Immortal Sects in your time.
Didn’t you, didn’t you die being besieged by all the experts of the Immortal Sects from your epoch?
How are you still alive?
Even if you didn’t truly die back then, so many years have passed, your epoch, it’s even more ancient than my own.
Have you also been reincarnated?”
Cao Zhen talked to himself, addressing the empty air in front of him.
Across from him, an expression of sudden delight appeared on the face of the Sun Erosion Demon.
What was Cao Zhen saying just now?
He was speaking of the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master—that a Demon Lord had appeared and was either communicating with Cao Zhen or, more accurately, was threatening him.
He might have a chance to survive after all.
Cao Zhen, alone, continued the charade by addressing the air, “Overbearing Sky Demonic Master, I respect you, but given the current circumstance… Alright, this time, I will give face to the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master.
I can spare him.”
After Cao Zhen finished speaking, he looked up at the Sun Erosion Demon and said coldly, “This time, with the Demon Lord stepping in, I’ll spare your life.”
With that, he retreated to the back.
Yet a look of ecstasy spread across the face of the Sun Erosion Demon.
He didn’t dare look at Cao Zhen but rapidly retreated, moving back to the entrance at the rear.
Then, he tumbled into another corridor.
Cao Zhen’s eyes suddenly widened!
What was happening?
That corridor had just been inaccessible; how could it suddenly be entered now?
Had the person at the other end of the corridor just killed someone else?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Cao Zhen rushed forward, stretched out his hand towards the corridor, and sure enough, an invisible wall appeared in front of him, stopping his progress.
“So, is it that now, with the addition of the Sun Erosion Demon, there are exactly two people in the other corridor?
That’s why I can’t enter!
Damn it, it would be best if the person at the other end of the corridor belonged to the third Prince.
No, if it’s the fourth Prince’s men, it seems there would be no trouble either.
After all, it seems that the Sun Erosion Demon has also sided with the fourth Prince.
At the very least, Qian Jiao has informed the fourth Prince, and Sun Erosion Demon has pledged allegiance.”
Cao Zhen let out a light sigh of relief.
The Sun Erosion Demon must die, but not now.
After using the Sun Erosion Demon to locate the fourth Prince and slaying all remnants of the previous dynasty, he would personally kill the Sun Erosion Demon to avenge the fallen of the Hundred Peaks Sect!
However, at the other end of the corridor, whether it’s the third Prince’s men or the fourth Prince’s, given the Sun Erosion Demon’s character, they probably wouldn’t take action, would they?
In that case, wouldn’t I be unable to advance?
Or should I retreat, enter another corridor, and go from there?
Forget it, let’s see the situation with the Sun Erosion Demon first.
After all, Qian Jiao merely said that she informed the fourth Prince and recruited the Sun Erosion Demon, but who knows if the fourth Prince has informed his men.
If he hasn’t, then the Sun Erosion Demon really might be killed by someone.
If that happens, it would be trouble.
Cao Zhen quickly connected to the Sun Erosion Demon through China Cloud, looking in his direction.
In less than a breath, he saw the Sun Erosion Demon, as well as Qian Jiao and a corpse next to her.
Qian Jiao?
Cao Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The Sun Erosion Demon didn’t know what sort of luck he had, running into Qian Jiao.
Although he wasn’t clear if Qian Jiao’s previously shown affection for the Sun Erosion Demon was genuine or not, at the very least, she shouldn’t harm him.
As for the other corpse.
The Sun Erosion Demon was pointing at the corpse on the ground, exclaiming in a low voice, “Xue Yue Demon?
How did you kill her?”
“Killing her was easy,” Qian Jiao sneered.
“She was unsure in her Dao heart.
I just launched a surprise attack and used a Charm Attack, and she got bewitched by it immediately.”
As she spoke, Qian Jiao suddenly lifted her head and looked at the Sun Erosion Demon seriously, “Now, with the Xue Yue Demon dead, only the Sun Moon Demon remains.
As long as the Sun Moon Demon dies too, elder brother, you can become the Sect Leader of our Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
Brother, are you ready to become the Sect Leader of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect?”
