Staring at the Cyan Cloud Sparrow in midair, the sturdy man was completely dumbfounded.
Another Tier Five Great Demon had arrived.
One at the Demon King Level, no less.
The beautiful woman trembled as she spoke, "Why are there two Demon Kings here? Did we wander into a Demon Beast Paradise?"
"Don’t panic. This Cyan Cloud Sparrow Demon King isn’t a Divine Beast. We still have a chance."
The white-haired old man forced himself to comfort them, but his body wouldn’t stop trembling.
He was completely numb with shock.
Just then, a swarm of Demon Beasts charged out of Qingyang City. The leaders, White Elephant and Old Turtle, roared, "Who? Who the hell is causing trouble in Qingyang City? You got a death wish?"
"The Demon Beast patrol?"
the beautiful woman exclaimed in surprise.
There were at least a thousand Demon Beasts in the swarm that charged out. Every single one wore black armor and moved in neat, orderly formations, not unlike a human army.
’So it’s true,’ the beautiful woman shivered, ’there’s a supreme expert present here.’
Only a supreme expert could subdue two Tier Five Demon Kings and forge Demon Beasts into an army.
"What’s happened?"
Soon, Desolate Old Monster also arrived at the city gate, with a squad of Black Armored Soldiers following behind him.
Desolate Old Monster had transferred them from the Imperial Palace Guard.
The Cyan Cloud Sparrow pointed angrily at the sturdy man and his group. "Desolate Old Monster, you’re just in time! Help us capture these troublemakers."
"What? Troublemakers?"
Desolate Old Monster immediately commanded, "Form up! Surround these fools who don’t know their place! Don’t let a single one of them escape!"
RATTLE!
The Black Armored Soldiers and the Demon Beasts moved as one, surrounding the small group with three layers of soldiers inside and three outside, sealing them in completely.
The faces of the intruders were etched with despair.
In the sky above were two great Tier Five Demon Kings.
On the ground was the patrol team led by Desolate Old Monster, White Elephant, and Old Turtle.
They were trapped with no way out.
"Wait, don’t attack yet!"
The beautiful woman suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you the Desolate Empire’s royal ancestor, Desolate Old Monster?"
Desolate Old Monster nodded. "That’s right. You know me?"
"You’re really Desolate Old Monster?"
Although the beautiful woman was mentally prepared, she still couldn’t help but be surprised.
The sturdy man, the white-haired old man, and the others were equally astonished.
’Shouldn’t Desolate Old Monster be in the Imperial City?’
’What is he doing all the way out here?’
The beautiful woman asked, "What are you doing here?"
Desolate Old Monster shot back bluntly, "Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m leading a patrol?"
"Huh?"
The group stared in utter disbelief.
’The grand ancestor of the Desolate Empire isn’t staying put in the Imperial City, but has come all the way out to this remote little town to personally lead a patrol?’
’What in the world is going on?’
The Ink Flood Dragon said impatiently, "Desolate Old Monster, why are you wasting so much time talking to them? Just beat them to death already."
"Nobody move!"
The Hemp-robed Daoist shouted, "We are Elders of the Profound Celestial Sect! If you dare to touch us, our Profound Celestial Sect..."
BAM!
Before the Hemp-robed Daoist could finish, the Ink Flood Dragon smashed a fist into his head.
The Hemp-robed Daoist crashed to the ground, creating a large crater.
The Ink Flood Dragon said contemptuously, "So what if you’re from the Profound Celestial Sect? You think that’s a big deal?"
"You’re done for! You’re all done for!"
The Hemp-robed Daoist clutched his bleeding head and threatened viciously, "Our Profound Celestial Sect will not let you get away with this."
"Holy shit, this guy still dares to threaten us!"
"Beat him to death!"
Everyone attacked at once, beating the Hemp-robed Daoist, the sturdy man, and their companions to the ground.
SCREECH!
Seeing that things had gone south, the Golden Giant Eagle tried to flee, but the Cyan Cloud Sparrow snatched it out of the air and tore it in half. "This dead eagle is mine."
"What do we do with these humans?"
White Elephant asked.
Desolate Old Monster suggested, "This matter involves the Profound Celestial Sect. We should take them back and let Elder Su decide what to do. Otherwise, we’ll have a hard time accounting for this."
"Is the Profound Celestial Sect very strong?"
White Elephant asked, confused.
Desolate Old Monster said gravely, "From what I know, the Profound Celestial Sect is a massive power in the Northern Profound Domain. I don’t know the specifics of their strength."
"Oh!"
White Elephant gave a casual "Oh!" and went back to patrolling with the other Demon Beasts.
Desolate Old Monster brought the prisoners before Su Mo. "Elder Su, these people from the Profound Celestial Sect were skulking outside the city looking for trouble. We crippled them and brought them back. We ask you to pass judgment."
"The Profound Celestial Sect?"
Su Mo was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
When he was competing at the Holy Spirit Manor, he had heard of the Profound Celestial Sect. It was a powerful force on the same level as the Great Demon Sect.
Su Mo ordered, "Quick, bring me a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone. Then wake them up."
"Ah?"
Xiao Lang asked doubtfully, "Young Master, if you don’t like them, you can just kill them. Why do you need a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone? Are you planning to draw talismans on their faces?"
In the past, he often played around by drawing talismans on people’s faces.
Even the Grand Elder had been pranked by him.
But that was all when he was a child.
’Is Su Mo going to do something like that, too?’
Desolate Old Monster smiled. "It seems the Alliance Leader is still a child at heart."
"Who said I was going to play?"
Su Mo retorted, "Hurry up and get the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. You’ll all see what I want to do in a moment."
Soon, Xiao Lang brought the writing materials and woke the prisoners up.
The Hemp-robed Daoist stared at the writing materials and asked in confusion, "What are you planning? Do you want a sample of our calligraphy?"
"Hmph, if you want our calligraphy, then hurry up and release us."
"You’ll also have to serve us with good wine and fine food."
"Compensate each of us with a large sum of Spirit Stones, then apologize in front of the whole city, and then we’ll spare you,"
the white-haired old man and the sturdy man declared arrogantly.
"To hell with that!"
Su Mo lashed out with a kick at the sturdy man, nearly caving his head in.
His head spinning, the sturdy man slurred, "Insolence! After treating us like this, you can forget about getting any calligraphy from us!"
"Who the hell wants your damned calligraphy?"
Su Mo planted his foot on the sturdy man’s chest. "I’ll ask you one question: live or die? If you want to die, I can make it quick and clean."
"I am from the Profound Celestial Sect..."
The sturdy man still tried to threaten Su Mo.
BAM!
In the next instant, Su Mo kicked again, and the sturdy man’s head exploded.
Instantly, the remaining prisoners were scared witless.
’He actually did it!’
Su Mo said coldly, "Wrong answer. Next."
It was the white-haired old man’s turn.
Tears streamed down the white-haired old man’s face as he begged, "Young Hero, I was blind and didn’t recognize your greatness. I have gravely offended you..."
"Shut up!"
Su Mo’s voice was like ice. "Do you take me for a three-year-old? You think a few crocodile tears will trick me into letting you go? You cry one more time and I’ll kill you."
The white-haired old man was so frightened he immediately clamped his mouth shut.
The tears stopped instantly.
Su Mo commanded, "Write down the strongest Profound Technique you cultivate. If you dare get a single word wrong... hmph."
"Ah..."
The white-haired old man looked completely baffled.
’This person actually wants his Cultivation Technique?’
Su Mo pressed his foot onto the center of the white-haired old man’s back. "If you don’t write, I’ll stomp you to death."
"I’ll write, I’ll write!"
The white-haired old man tremblingly wrote down the strongest Cultivation Technique he cultivated and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo scanned it, and after confirming it was correct, he said with delighted surprise, "Wasn’t our Xiao Alliance short on High-level Techniques? Well, now we have one!"
