Xiao Feng's speed had already reached its limit, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.
Although the demons might not be as strong as him, he understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant better than anyone else.
Xiao Feng's body kept moving through the mountains, trying to shake off their sight.
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he realized that no one else was following him, which brought a smile to his face.
Just when he thought he had escaped, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him, blocking his only way out.
Xiao Feng could sense from his aura that he must be a powerful figure from the Demon Clan.
In order to carve out a way for himself to survive, he placed the Mountain and River Sword in front of him and swung it fiercely.
The powerful demon saw the sword shadow land in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and with a casual flick of his wrist, the sword shadow immediately disappeared.
Xiao Feng never expected that anyone could use such a method to counter his sword shadow, and his foot speed immediately decreased.
Just then, the people behind caught up.
Seeing Xiao Feng being intercepted, Li Cai'er subconsciously glanced at the man in black and bowed respectfully: "Heavenly Demon Envoy."
The man known as the Heavenly Demon Envoy nodded slightly: "So many of you were trying to capture one person, and he almost got away? That's disappointing."
When Li Cai'er heard the Heavenly Demon Envoy's hint that he was blaming her, she lowered her head again.
Their original plan was to seal people inside the formation, but no one expected that Xiao Feng would place the Demon Lord's Seal elsewhere.
Seeing them chatting, Xiao Feng steeled his resolve and fled back into the mountains.
He originally thought he could hold his own against the demon with his speed, but the demon envoy suddenly appeared in front of him and intercepted him again.
This time, Xiao Feng was unable to resist and was captured.
The Heavenly Demon Envoy brought Xiao Feng to Li Cai'er and said, "Tie him up as soon as possible. I suspect the item is on this kid."
The Demon Lord's Seal is an extremely important item, and he simply cannot believe that Xiao Feng would hand over the Demon Lord's Seal to someone else or bury it somewhere else.
Li Cai'er flattered the Heavenly Demon Envoy, greeted the surrounding shadows, and unleashed her demonic energy around Xiao Feng.
In just ten breaths, a black prison of energy locked him inside.
Xiao Feng drew the Mountain and River Sword, intending to use it to shatter the black energy prison.
Who knew that the prison would have the ability to backfire? His spiritual power not only failed to shatter the black prison, but was also knocked to the ground by the backfire force brought out by the prison.
If it weren't for his considerable strength, he would probably be dead here.
Seeing that Xiao Feng had been captured, the Heavenly Demon Envoy said to Li Cai'er, "You two stay here and watch over this kid. I'll go and bring that person back too."
In his view, if the Demon Lord's Seal wasn't on Xiao Feng, it must be on Lu Xue'er.
The most appropriate option is to lock them both up here.
Li Cai'er watched the Heavenly Demon Envoy leave, then approached Xiao Feng again and sneered, "Why aren't you running anymore? Weren't you very powerful?"
Xiao Feng looked at Li Cai'er's teasing eyes, shrugged helplessly, and said, "It's no use arresting me. The item isn't on me. You might as well just kill me."
He was so confident because he had the sign-in system with him, and he believed that the sign-in system would not let him die here for no reason.
Since the Heavenly Demon Envoy had not yet returned, the suggestion from the shadowy figure to take Xiao Feng away was rejected.
Li Cai'er glanced at Xiao Feng and couldn't help but say to the shadowy figure, "You all look around the mountains. If you encounter any cultivators, kill them."
The dark figure nodded slightly and disappeared.
Xiao Feng watched them leave, a faint smile on his face: "You sent them all away, so you must have something to say to me privately, right?"
He had long seen that Li Cai'er was unusual, otherwise she would have had no reason to keep pestering him.
When Li Cai'er heard Xiao Feng's voice, she nodded slightly: "That's right, I have something I need to talk to you about alone. I wonder if you're free?"
Xiao Feng tapped the surrounding black mist with his chin: "I'm already locked inside. Ask me any questions you have, but I might not be able to answer them."
In his view, his life was already in their hands, and handing over the Demon Lord's Seal would only mean death.
Li Cai'er walked up to Xiao Feng, her face serious: "I'm telling you this very seriously, as long as you give me the things, I'm willing to let you go privately."
To prove that there were no other demons around, she deliberately moved aside so that he could see that there were no demons around.
Seeing Li Cai'er's urgent need for the Demon Lord's Seal, Xiao Feng frowned slightly: "Why do you all need something like this? Is it really that important to your demon race?"
Li Cai'er sensed that Xiao Feng was implying he was handing the reins over to her, so she found a safe spot to sit down and nodded slightly.
"You are not one of us demons, but I can tell you some things about the demon race. We demons don't have a Demon Lord right now. Do you know how high the status of a Demon Lord is?"
Even someone with the strength of the Heavenly Demon Envoy is coveting such a position; otherwise, no one would be able to persuade an old guy of that strength.
Upon hearing that the Demon Clan currently lacked a Demon Lord, Xiao Feng pondered for a moment: "What does the absence of a Demon Lord have to do with the Demon Lord's Mystic Seal? Could it be..."
Li Cai'er knew he had already guessed what was going on, and chuckled: "It's useless for you humans to obtain the Demon Lord's Seal. For us demons, whoever obtains the Demon Lord's Seal becomes the next Demon Lord, understand?"
In her view, as long as she became the Demon Lord, letting Xiao Feng go would have no impact on her whatsoever.
Li Cai'er stretched out her hand with a hopeful look on her face: "How about it? Hand over the Demon Lord's Seal to me, and I'm willing to let you leave safely and will never send anyone to hunt you down."
Looking into Li Cai'er's eyes, Xiao Feng understood that the Demon Lord's Mysterious Seal was very likely to provide them with extraordinary strength.
Given this, Xiao Feng is even less able to hand over the Demon Lord's Seal to them.
He shrugged helplessly, "The Demon Lord's Seal is indeed not on me. It's pointless for you to keep me here. You might as well go and hunt down my companions."
In his eyes, Lu Xue'er had very likely already begun to fly on her sword.
Even if the demons now turn into shadows to pursue her, they will not be able to catch up with Lu Xue'er.
Once she returns to the Azure Sect, it won't be so easy for the demons to enter.
Seeing that Xiao Feng was unwilling to say anything, Li Cai'er slapped a tree trunk hard: "Don't try to fool me with your childish tricks. Someone will make you talk later."
She knew that nothing she said would make a difference, so she could only hand over the opportunity to the Heavenly Demon Envoy, hoping that he could obtain the Demon Lord's Seal from him.
