The main hall was very quiet at the time, but there were several conspicuous footprints in front of one of the murals!
The one-horned youth, who had initially decided to casually enter a mural and shake off the Sirius Demon behind him, now had his eyes gleaming with intense light.
It was truly a stroke of luck that Heaven had spared him; his seemingly hopeless situation had taken a turn for the better. Without the slightest hesitation, he gathered all his magical power and lunged into the mural!
But how could the demonic cultivator behind him let such a good opportunity pass by? The spell arrived on the back of the one-horned demonic cultivator in the next second!
Fortunately, the one-horned demon cultivator was wearing a very precious protective armor. This attack directly destroyed half of the armor, but at least his life was saved!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into the mural.
After falling in, he didn't dare to linger for a moment and flew directly to the top of the lake to find the eighth-level demon!
Fortunately, the great demon was in a small pavilion not far away. The one-horned youth was overjoyed and kept shouting, "Senior, save me!"
At this moment, several demonic cultivators from the Sirius Clan also entered. Seeing that the treasure was in their pocket and yet dared to call for help, they were filled with hatred. Relying on their numbers, they didn't even bother to see who the demonic cultivators in front of them were, and they charged forward in a swarm!
At this moment, the demonic energy on the one-horned youth had been exhausted, and he could not even cast a protective spell. Turning his head and seeing all kinds of spells behind him, he felt a sense of despair!
"Shut up!"
With a soft hum, a golden light flashed past the one-horned youth's ear!
But the light was so sharp that just passing by it left a deep scratch on the face of the one-horned youth. Even so, the one-horned youth was still filled with gratitude!
He didn't need to turn around to know that the magic spell behind him had been shattered by the light, and because of the extra little bit of time, he was able to reach the pavilion smoothly!
As soon as he landed, the one-horned youth knelt before Chen Tianwen, kowtowing with tears streaming down his face, and pleaded, "Please, senior, save me!"
Chen Tianwen didn't look at him, but looked ahead. Several sixth-level demonic cultivators also stopped in front of the courtyard, but they didn't move an inch towards him. Instead, they stared at the three of them with unfriendly expressions!
Chen Tianwen frowned. He realized that among the demonic cultivators in front of him, two of them were actually the rats who had followed him before the opening of the Shenbi Secret Realm.
The demons, who were just moments ago so arrogant, are now hesitant to move forward, which is truly a strange thing!
Chen Tianwen remained silent, as did the Great Demon of Yellow Sand and the Old Demon of the Same Vine behind him, and the few demonic cultivators by the water were even more silent!
Only the one-horned youth kneeling in front of Chen Tianwen kept kowtowing. He did not use demonic energy to protect himself, and soon his forehead was covered in blood!
Silence flows among the demons!
Suddenly, a slight smile appeared on Chen Tianwen's lips. The one-horned youth who was kowtowing felt himself being lifted up by an unknown force, and an aged voice sounded beside him: "Why are these demons trying to kill you!"
Hearing the old man in the middle finally speak, the one-horned youth suppressed his excitement and quickly replied, "Senior, this junior brother, my uncle was searching for treasure in the secret realm when he somehow encountered the infamous Sky Wolf Gang, who kidnapped them all. Only I escaped. Please, senior, lend me your help!"
After saying that, he insisted on bowing despite Chen Tianwen's spiritual power, but then he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move his body at all. Realizing that this was an eighth-level demon, he understood and gave up trying!
Chen Tianwen remained silent, only smiling as he looked at the demonic cultivator before him.
These demonic cultivators had known for days that the old man was a sixth-level demonic alchemist, and they had long regarded him as a fat sheep to be slaughtered, completely disregarding the sickly old man!
However, the old demon Tong Teng next to Chen Tianwen made them a little wary, but remembering that the news of the sixth-level alchemist had already been sent to the gang leader, they looked directly at Chen Tianwen, still arrogant!
Chen Tianwen seemed oblivious to their raised chins, and instead asked with a smile, "The Sky Wolf Gang's ostentatious behavior is perhaps a bit against the rules!"
"Old man, what business is it of yours whether it's in accordance with the rules or not?"
The leader was a burly man with his arms covered in patterns. He swung the golden knife in his hand, and a misty, precious light fell on the side of the one-horned youth!
Then, he glared at Chen Tian and asked, "What else do you want, an old man like you? What? Are you going to protect this audacious brat!"
Chen Tianwen slowly stroked his beard, his smiling eyes remaining unchanged, and said in a light tone, "So what if I cover it up, or I don't!"
"Third Brother, let's just make our move. The boss might be here any minute!"
"Yeah, he's just a sixth-tier old man, what's there to be afraid of? We brothers will hold off that bastard Tong Teng, Third Brother, you take this old man and get out of here!"
"The old man is key to the boss's advancement; we can't let him get away!"
Behind the burly man, numerous demonic cultivators offered their suggestions, all focusing on Chen Tianwen!
Although he thought his voice was very soft, he still couldn't hide it from Chen Tianwen!
Sure enough, the big man's tone began to waver. This old man was very important, but without him, these brothers would definitely not fare well in the hands of the old demon Tong Teng. He knew that his brothers wanted him to stand out in front of their boss, but he was not that kind of person!
He could be ruthless to outsiders, but when it came to his remaining brothers, the big man hesitated!
Seeing the hesitant and indecisive man, Chen Tianwen couldn't help but scoff inwardly!
It was truly beyond his expectations that the ruthless members of the Sky Wolf Gang still possessed a sliver of mercy!
He's an executioner himself, yet he's pretending to be all sympathetic!
Chen Tianwen concealed the mockery in his eyes, and also told the Old Demon Tongteng and the Great Demon Huangsha not to make any rash moves. Their leader hadn't arrived yet, and he still needed to keep the show going.
Since they dared to scheme against me, I shouldn't give up on even the one fish that slipped through the net; consider it a good deed!
The burly man opposite finally made a decision. He decided to keep Chen Tianwen occupied here. He figured his messenger had probably already confronted their boss. If he could just stall for another quarter of an hour and stay here, he would not only gain credit for delivering the message, but he might also gain other credit when their boss captured the Demon Alchemist.
So the big man took a step back and stopped in mid-air!
He didn't explain his actions; he just waited quietly!
If he were truly lacking in strength, Chen Tianwen would have already suspected that the big man was up to something. But Chen Tianwen was going to stay here anyway, and the big man's actions were exactly what he wanted!
So Chen Tianwen deliberately asked the burly man on the lake, "What exactly do you mean? Are you just making fun of me?"
